Summary

Day 1,205.

Today, as Russian casualties reportedly pass one million, we assess an extraordinary press release by the Trump administration marking ‘Russia Day’, and examine the mentality underpinning the United States’s stance on the war. Then we hear again from a Ukrainian winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and discuss Margaret Thatcher’s attitude towards Russia with the Iron Lady’s definitive biographer and confidant.
