He also recently visited Sudzha, the Russian border-town in the Kursk region which is held by Ukraine, and explains how Russians are responding to the incursion.And we speak to Karolina Hird, Russia Deputy Team Lead at the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War, about what Ukraine’s next move might be.Today’s episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.
