How one man secretly filmed life in Kherson under Russian forces. Dmytro Bahnenko tells us why he and his family stayed there for months secretly filming everyday life under occupation. His footage and story have also been made into a 麻豆社 documentary called Occupied.

The 麻豆社鈥檚 Ukraine correspondent, James Waterhouse, has been talking to people in recently liberated areas. He also discusses why Russia is accusing Ukraine of planning to use a radioactive 鈥渄irty bomb,鈥 something that the West has called 鈥渢ransparently false鈥.

And former speech writer for Vladimir Putin, Abbas Gallyamov, calls the Russian president the 鈥渧ictim of his own propaganda鈥 and lifts the lid on what he was really like when he worked for him.
