Summary
Day 293.
Today, we hear details of Ukraine’s reported strike on a bridge in Russian-occupied Melitopol and discuss claims Moscow is turning to decades-old ammunition with high failure rates as it burns through its stockpiles.
Plus - with the year drawing to a close, many of us might be finding ourselves with extra time to sink our teeth into some new reading material. We hear three Telegraph journalists’ recommendations for books that provide context, reflection and analysis on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
