Episode notes

Most of the Western equipment that's been supplied to Ukraine has come from stockpiles and those stockpiles have now been depleted. The Ukrainians are going to be much better equipped with warm boots, with food because they're on home territory than Russians who will be shivering in the trenches. Getting through winter, one of the biggest factors is morale basically and minus 10, 20 degrees weather. So I think Ukraine is going to come out much better with much higher morale there as the weather continues to freeze over.

The US Federal Trade Commission says it will sue to block Microsoft’s $75bn acquisition of video game maker Activision Blizzard, and KLM’s chief executive has encouraged passengers to take the train rather than fly on some short-haul journeys. Plus, the FT’s John Paul Rathbone unpacks a military milestone in the Ukraine war.
