Russia takes control in Avdiivka & Navalny’s body ‘hidden from relatives’

All this week, our regular hosts David Knowles, Dominic Nicholls and Francis Dearnley are on the ground in Ukraine, conducting major interviews with senior figures, hearing testimony of Kyiv citizens and reporting on the run-up to the two-year anniversary of the full scale invasion.

Day 723.

Today, we discuss Russia claiming control of a Soviet-era coke plant in Avdiivka, and hear from David, Francis, and Dom live in Ukraine. Plus, Estonia’s prime minister calls on the West to seize Russia’s frozen assets before the US election and we hear how Navalny’s body has been ‘hidden from relatives’ as his widow vows to continue his work.
