Episode notes

Vladimir Putin essentially dismissed them and said that the defense systems have worked adequately. The Moscow air defense system worked satisfactorily, however, there is still work to be done to make it better. But I think his whole tone was, you know, Ukraine is provoking Russia. He said they're provoking Russia to respond with mere action.

Ukraine vowed to mount a counteroffensive against Russia. Drone attacks on Moscow might signal it has begun. The Washington Post’s Mary Ilyushina and the Guardian’s Luke Harding explain.

This episode was produced by Amanda Lewellyn, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Michael Raphael, and hosted by Noel King.
