About this episode
After indications that a Ukrainian breakthrough might have been imminent, progress on the battlefield slowed down this week with no news of further significant advances. Saul and Patrick discuss this and the details released by Kyiv of an extraordinary amphibious aid mounted by their special forces, which resulted in putting Ukrainian boots on Crimean soil for the first time since 2014.
Meanwhile in neighbouring Slovakia, Robert Fico won the election on a pro-Moscow ticket, Saul and Patrick examine the significance of this and answer listeners questions which includes a sighting of Yevgeny Prigozhin.
