Russia sends a barrage of missiles across Ukraine

Full Episode

Police inspect the scene of Russian shelling in Kyiv, Ukraine, Oct. 10, 2022. Multiple explosions rocked Kyiv early Monday following months of relative calm in the Ukrainian capital. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported explosions in the city’s Shevchenko district, a large area in the center of Kyiv that includes the historic old town as well as several government offices.

This morning, hundreds of thousands of people across Ukraine woke up to the sound of air raid sirens. Russia’s military sent dozens of long-range missiles and drones across Ukraine, hitting at least 10 cities. Also, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once one of the most powerful men in Russia, became Vladimir Putin’s enemy, and has written a book about his experience. Plus, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban portrays himself as the defender of Christianity, not only in Hungary, but across Europe. And, it’s “Double Ten Day” in Taiwan, a day that marks an uprising that eventually ended hundreds of years of Chinese imperial rule.
