Day 1,595.Ukraine strikes yet more Russian shadow fleet tankers in the Black Sea, bringing their total to more than 30 in just four days.

Finally, Latvia’s foreign minister looks ahead to the next meeting of Nato countries.Contributors:Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @Adeliepjz on X.Sophie O’Sullivan (Telegraph journalist).Sophia Yan (Senior Foreign Correspondent). @Sophia_yan on X.Joe Barnes (Diplomatic Editor). @Barnes_Joe on X.Roland Oliphant (Chief Foreign Analyst). @RolandOliphant on X.Producer: Phil AtkinsSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O’SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
