  • Hello, it's 1,322 days since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

  • And let's just briefly remind our listeners of what has been happening in Ukraine.

  • There is a huge attack on the region of Lviv, Vitaly, which is obviously in the west of the country.

  • It's right next to the border with Poland, and it came under the worst Russian air attack so far.

  • The southwestern suburb of Lviv called Lapaivka was really badly hit and one house of four people were killed or members of one family,

  • including a 15 year old girl.

  • And there's one report in Ukraine saying that at least three Chinese satellites were orbiting above Lviv at the time this attack.

  • Happened and I'm telling you this Victoria

  • because it just shows us how Information warfare happens during this war now I've been doing some research and talking to various exports about these Chinese satellites and the opinion that I have at the moment is that There's nothing to suggest that China had maneuvered those satellites to be there just

  • as they attack unfolded or with the purpose of supplying some tracking or targeting information for the Russians who have their own military spy satellites in the skies as well.

  • Well, on today's episode,

  • we are going to hear about two new BBC investigations on the war in Ukraine,

  • including one podcast exclusive.

  • This is Ukrainecast.

  • Ukraine costs from BBC News.

  • This is a sovereign nation under unprovoked attack.

  • We are ready to finish this war as quick as possible.

  • Russia is not preparing for peace.

  • We are an enemy of NATO.

  • And we'll do whatever is necessary to ensure our security.
