Episode 48: Cracks Show in the Russian Lines
In this episode -
1:45 - An overview of the evolving situation in the war. Ukraine has made a series of localized micro-offensives throughout the front line resulting in numerous small victories against the Russian occupiers. Most importantly, in the area around Bakhmut, where they have retaken ground to the north and south of the city. This also enflames the struggle between the Wagner Group and the regular Russian army.
26:15 - Ukraine's acquisition of Patriot and Storm Shadow missile systems is changing the calculus in the war of long-range missiles.
40:25 - A eulogy for the left-wing internationalist volunteers Finbar Cafferkey, Cooper Andrews, and Dmitry Petrov, and the journalist Arman Soldin.
52:40 - The Red Square Victory Day Parade was a flop.
1:03:00 - Amnesty International was caught covering up an internal review showing the failings of the Ukraine reportage.
1:06:50 - Eurovision

Ukraine’s War Is Its New Normal
