'Revolution could come overnight in Russia’, Estonia spy chief says | Ukraine war news updates today

How will Kyiv and its allies respond to some of the deadliest attacks of the war? Today, we hear the latest from the capital as Ukraine suffers one of the deadliest waves of raids of the entire war, with new jet-powered drones wreaking havoc. Then, we have exclusive remarks from the head of Estonia’s intelligence service on the likelihood of a large-scale Russian mobilisation – and threats to Putin – as well as an update on what Kyiv’s former Defence Minister Fedorov is up to in Italy. Finally, the Finnish president warns against obsessing over a Russian attack on Nato while India’s Narenda Modi calls on his “friend” Putin to stop his “endless war”.
