Hello everyone and welcome to Ammanpur. Here's what's coming up.

Another devastating day of airstrikes in Ukraine. As calls grow for stronger action against Putin,

I asked military analyst Michael Kaufman how this could shape things on the battlefield.

Then...

Billions of dollars of drugs are pouring into our country from Venezuela.

Could Trump's war on drugs turn into an actual war?

I speak to Senior Director at the International Crisis Group, Ivan Briscoe,

about escalating tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela. Also ahead.

Hundreds of people here are being arrested. British police take on protesters in London,

as thousands stand against the banning of a pro-Palestinian group. Isabel Young's special report

on the cost of opposing the war in Gaza. Plus, we are in the midst of an authoritarian regime.

Democratic politician Stacey Abrams tells Michelle Martin

why she's sounding the alarm on what she largest Russian air attack of the war so far. A government building damaged for the first time.

And more Ukrainian civilians killed in the strikes, including Ukrainian media say a mother and her baby in Kiev.

So has President Putin blown his place at the negotiating table? It seems the days of diplomatic dialogue with President Trump could be numbered.

Take a listen.

It's such a horrible waste of humanity.

So, no, I am not thrilled with what's happening there.

I believe we're going to get it settled, but I am not happy with them.

President Trump says he's now ready to move to a, quote, second phase of sanctions on Moscow,

and the stakes are high, as Secretary-Treas Secretary, as Treasury Secretary Scott Besant made clear over the weekend.

We're in a race now between how long can the Ukrainian military hold up versus how long can the Russian economy hold up?
