Russia 'risks meltdown' by targeting nuclear power plants & Trump leaks world leaders' texts
Ukraine: The Latest
Trump’s texts and leaks unsettle allies at Davos
Francis reviews Trump posting private messages and AI images, and reactions from EU leaders including von der Leyen.
Day 1,426.
Today, as Moscow reportedly tests thermobaric munitions on ground-based drones, and strikes on substations connected to Ukrainian nuclear power plants continue, we turn to the World Economic Forum in Davos, where world leaders have gathered for what was meant to be a week of diplomatic breakthroughs for Kyiv. Instead, the agenda has been seized by President Trump and his threats over Greenland; we hear the latest from the island, before speaking to the author of a new report on Russian cyber warfare.
