Description
A crucial military communication system was disrupted in Ukraine this week, as Russian attacks pounded energy sites. Host Mary Louise Kelly speaks with NPR Ukraine Correspondent Joanna Kakissis about what’s happening in Kyiv, and her long-awaited interview with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. NPR National Security Correspondent Greg Myre joined too, to explain President Trump’s announcement of an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine – which came as a surprise and hasn’t quite materialized.
