Russian missiles and drones ‘shot down in droves’ & military memories of WWII veterans

Day 945.


Today, military and political battlefields align as President
Zelensky fights to persuade world leaders to support Kyiv further
while his country faces new bombardments, and – later in the
episode – the team share memories of their time in the military
talking to veterans of the Second World War, and reflect on what
it will mean for soldiers, and Western culture, for that
generation to disappear.
