Are Russian battlefield losses far higher than we thought?
Today, as a senior intelligence chief cites a considerably higher figure of Russian deaths than has previously been cited, we hear about a raft of announcements from Ukraine’s allies that will see new fighter jets and Patriot missiles available to Kyiv, as the country suffers a new wave of strikes. Then – in a special dispatch – I take you to Venice for our first film looking at the decision of the La Biannale art festival to permit the reopening of the Russian Pavilion, and exploring the work of Ukrainian artists in wartime.
