Episode Details

Sheffield is back in the arms race—forging artillery barrels for Ukraine under a £61 million deal, marking the first time in nearly two decades the UK has produced such critical munitions domestically, with Sheffield Forgemasters nationalized in 2021 to secure these defense commitments. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s political landscape shifts as President Zelenskyy names Naftogaz CEO Sergiy Koretsky as prime minister, sparking controversy after firing defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov—whose leadership helped turn the tide on the battlefield. Kyiv and Kharkiv endure fresh strikes, including a ballistic missile hit on a warehouse and drone attacks, while Zelenskyy insists Ukraine will master Patriot missile production by year’s end. Russia accuses Ukraine of assassinating the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant’s chief engineer via drone, and retaliates with attacks on Zaporizhzhia, killing three and injuring fifteen. Ukraine strikes back, damaging Sevastopol’s power plant—critical to Crimea’s grid—and Russia now turns to India for gasoline amid its own fuel crisis, as both sides intensify operations in the Black Sea, with Ukraine claiming 20 Russian vessels hit and Russia pounding southern Ukrainian towns.
