Day 1,716.

Today, as a data leak from inside Russia confirms the staggering scale of Russian losses in Putin’s so-called ‘special military operation’, we examine the figures as another extraordinary milestone emerges from the battlefield: this weekend saw Moscow’s bloodiest day of the entire war. Then, following his recent conversation with Putin, we hear from Norway’s prime minister about whether the Russian president is genuinely prepared to negotiate. And, ahead of trilateral peace talks in Abu Dhabi, we’re joined by Ukraine’s former foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba.
