About this episode

Day 268. 

Today, we discuss Russia digging trenches far back from the front lines. This follows the news that more than 10 million Ukrainians were without electricity last night after Russia again pounded the country's energy infrastructure. 

And we hear how Russian state television has evolved to deal with Ukraine’s success on the battlefield.
