Episode notes

Ukraine's locally-made drones hit three military bases deep inside Russia. They managed to dodge through Russian air defenses, even though these were strategic air defense bases. It shows that if Russia is going to bomb Ukraine, Ukraine now has the capacity toBomb Russia using military equipment it has manufactured. The whole idea is to try and demoralize Ukrainians and send them fleeing into Europe.

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.
