'Pull Russia's poisonous teeth': Zelensky's war chief on Hitler, Putin & recruits | Defence in Depth

Подробнее о видео

To mark the two-year anniversary of Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine, The Telegraph was given exclusive access with some of the most powerful figures in President Zelensky’s administration.
