Summary

Today, on the Fox News Rundown Extra, the war in Ukraine from the perspective of someone who was a casualty. Our Fox News Senior Correspondent Benjamin Hall was nearly killed covering the war in Ukraine weeks after it started in a Russian attack on our news crew in March 2022. Two of his colleagues did not survive. Fox cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and freelancer Sasha Kuvshynova were killed in that bombing. Earlier this week, Benjamin Hall sat down with FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss his latest book, “Resolute: How We Humans Keep Finding Ways to Beat the Toughest Odds,” where he shares his long, painful road to recovery and the physical and mental challenge he has faced since that Russian attack. We also spoke with Ben Hall to help preview Tuesday’s phone call between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir and to get his perspective on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and President Trump’s efforts to reach a peace deal. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with FOX News Senior Correspondent Benjamin Hall and get even more of his candid take on his recovery and the toll it took on him and his family.
