Today, as the death toll from this week’s massive strike on Kyiv edges upwards, we look at the pressure now being applied to President Zelensky’s chief advisor over the anti-corruption bill that proved so controversial. Plus, we have our regular segment on resistance activities in the occupied territories, and hear from Adélie on the ground in Ukraine.
