| 0:16.0 | historic drone strikes on the Russian air fleet become ever clearer, we reflect more deeply on their |
| 0:21.4 | implications for the war and what it tells us that Putin refused to reference them in televised |
| 0:26.7 | remarks. Plus, we share more on our experiences in the port city of Odessa this week, including |
| 0:32.9 | recordings from inside a basement during an air raid. Bravery takes you through the most unimaginable hardships |
