Top Russian general who ‘orchestrated’ poisonings shot in Moscow & fears of new arms race as US-Russia nuclear weapons treaty expires

Top Russian general who ‘orchestrated’ poisonings shot in Moscow & fears of new arms race as US-Russia nuclear weapons treaty expires

Day 1,443.

Today, after an apparent assassination attempt on a senior Russian general in Moscow, we examine the major Russian bombardments across Ukraine that followed the second day of peace talks in Abu Dhabi. Are the United States, Ukraine, and Russia any closer to a ceasefire? We then hear from an NGO delivering vital humanitarian supplies to Ukraine’s frontline cities, and speak to the head of a hospital in President Zelensky’s hometown.
