    Trump cuts US intelligence to Ukraine & China declares its 'ready for war'
    Mar 5 2025

    Day 1,106.

    We cover Zelensky's letter to Trump, aiming to mend their relationship after Friday's heated exchange. We also explore the incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s plan to boost defense and infrastructure spending. In addition, Trump bans the UK from sharing Washington’s intelligence with Ukraine, and reports surface of Ukrainian soldiers resorting to throwing beehives after running out of grenades.

A brilliant service to keep up-to-date

the various locations, special interviews and just local people in the middle of this invasion. Plus the political 🙄 to and fro gives a well balanced view.

keep up the great work.

I listen on the Rottnest ferry (W. Australia) on my way to work on the island
