Hello, it's 1,343 days since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
No vitali today, but I have enrolled colleagues of mine from Moscow and Washington.
There's lots to discuss, including Russia testing a nuclear-powered missile.
I'm going to say that again.
Russia testing a nuclear-powered missile.
We're almost used to these things, and I don't want us to be used to these things.
It has been described, this missile test, as a tiny flying Chernobyl.
We'll assess how accurate that description is.
Also,
we're going to talk about the effect of those new sanctions by the US targeting Russia's two largest oil companies,
and we'll bring you the latest on the fighting.
It's October, as we know.
As you know, as a longtime Ukrainecast listener,
Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure intensifies at this time of year
because on top of everything else,
Russia wants to make Ukrainians very, very cold over winter.
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.
