Summary

It’s been more than 1,280 days since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The death toll is unthinkable, peace talks are stuck and Trump’s latest “summit” in Alaska hasn’t shifted the dial. Today in The Bunker, Chris Jones is joined by journalist and This Is Not a Drill co-host Oz Katerji to ask: where does the war stand now, and how is Ukraine enduring under the relentless assault from Russia? • We are sponsored by Indeed.

0:00.0	This edition of The Bunker is sponsored by Naked Wines. I'm Seth Tevall.
0:04.8	And I'm Zoe Grunewold.
0:06.4	And here at the bunker, we don't believe in guesswork. We go to the experts for the best insights into news and politics. And why should wine be any different?
0:15.1	That's why we're pleased to recommend Naked Wines. I enjoy their Bariccas Gallaudoro Reserva from Portugal. Well, I'm trying their small and
0:23.9	small Savignon Blanc from New Zealand. Seth, tell me, what's your wine knowledge like? Very specialised,
0:30.6	so pretty good on things Portuguese, but non-existent on those other things. How about you, Zay?
0:35.5	I drink most anything, but I have to say I'm really enjoying the savenient blanc. It's citrusy, it's got notes of gooseberry. I could just drink the whole bottle. What makes naked wines so convenient is that they deliver top quality wines right to your jaw from world-class winemakers from across the globe, whether it's a French rosé, a New Zealand reisling, or even the Lebanese
0:54.8	syria, naked can help you find your next bottle to fall in love with.
0:59.0	And this premium doesn't have to come at a punishing price. By working directly with the
1:04.0	winemakers, they can pass on the benefit and offer bottles up to 33% less than typical retail
1:09.7	prices. Head to Nakedwines.co.com.uk forward slash the bunker to get six top-rated wines for
1:16.7	just £39.99. That's £6.67 a bottle. I repeat, that's six bottles of wine for just £39.99,
1:26.0	with delivery included. That's nakedwines.com.uk,
1:30.5	forward slash the bunker to grab six bottles for just $ daily dose of news without the nonsense five days a week.
1:52.5	I'm Chris Jones. It's been over 1,280 days since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
1:59.8	The death count is unthinkable, and
2:02.0	discussions over peace seem to be going nowhere, despite the latest meetings organized by Donald
2:07.5	Trump in Alaska. So where are we at in this devastating conflict? And how is Ukraine coping
2:13.2	with the continued assault on its sovereignty? To discuss all that, I'm joined by a friend of the show,
2:18.8	journalist Oz Katterjee, based in Ukraine,
2:21.1	and co-host of our sister podcast, This is Not a Drill.
2:24.1	Oz, welcome back to the bunker.
