Day 594. Today, we assess movements on the front lines, discuss the aftermath of a Nato summit reeling from events in the Middle East, and consider how locked-in military and financial support is for Kyiv in a rapidly changing geopolitical environment.
Plus, we speak to mountaineer and cyclist Jerry Gore, leader of a 3000 km bike ride to Ukraine to raise awareness of the physical and mental toll the war takes on civilians young and old.
And we hear an in depth discussion between Francis and Melinda Haring, of the human rights organisation Razom, and Ukrainian public intellectual Yevhen Hlibovtsky, on American support and the consequences of collective trauma on a society.

  1. The independent media are saying exactly the opposite. Simply regurgitating Kiev's oress releases without critical analysis and corroboration is propaganda, not reporting.

  2. It is curious that a country that held the Kursk salient in WW2 thinks it can "bum's rush" prepared defenses while sticking to roads.

    Ukraine tried this with all of its new training and Western weapons and quickly discerned that would not work. They changed tactics.

    Russia seems to "learn" at a vastly slower pace.

  3. I think it would be very wise for President Zelensky to visit Isreal. From what I can see Putin has stabbed Isreal in the back. I've been disappointed in the Israeli response to Putin's invasion. They might have a change of heart now.

  4. In the words of the Pentagon spokeman John Kirby it's now "the end of the rope" for Ukraine. Didn't mention that I see. The US and NATO are now done with Ukraine, Duda's "drowning man". I feel sorry for the absolute fools that believed "as long as it takes". Geopolitics is now quickly, comveniently moving on. The counter offensive has utterly failed and Ukraine has nowhere to go. Of course what comes now is going to be bloody for the Russians as well as the Ukrainians but the end cannot be changed.
