YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLast night, Russia launched a mass drone and missile attack on Kyiv, including a strike in the centre of the city, marking its first combined attack on the Ukrainian capital in weeks.
The Foreign Office has summoned the Russian ambassador to the UK over the strikes, which Sir Keir Starmer condemned as "senseless".
Arkady Ostrovsky is Russia and Eastern Europe Editor for The Economist. He explains to Henry Riley why summoning the ambassador is an 'empty gesture' by the UK.
'Sanctions won't make the slightest difference... the way to stop Russia is to cut its oil and gas revenues.'
