Summary
Day 1,525. Today, following a 1500 kilometer Ukrainian deep strike on a Russian oil facility, we hear how – for the first time in 18 years – Moscow’s Victory Day parade will feature no military kit as Vladimir Putin’s paranoia continues. Then we take you to Washington, where King Charles III sought to charm the Trump administration by deploying pomp, circumstance, and a sprinkling of history, before speaking to a war artist about what it’s like painting soldiers on the frontline in an active warzone. Contributors: Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X. James Kilner (Russia Analyst). @Jkjourno on X. With thanks to war artist Max Denison-Pender.
