Russia fires at NATO military helicopter in 'reckless action' | Ukraine war news updates today

Today, the Danish Prime Minister condemns the latest ‘reckless action’ by Moscow, after a Russian frigate in the Baltic Sea fired flares at a military helicopter. After the Boris Johnson train near-miss, NATO jets were also in action last night, shooting down a drone over Lithuania. The Ukrainian commander who masterminded the recent counterattack in the Donbas region gives a little more detail about what happened. Donald Trump’s claim to have got a deal over the line between Kyiv and Moscow about a ceasefire on energy facilities has, just like Russia’s Syzran oil facility last night, gone up in smoke after Volodymyr Zelensky failed to confirm it. Later, after news of a British soldier killed in Ukraine, Dom speaks to the mother of a man missing on the frontline after being forced to fight for Russia.
