In this episode, the host provides updates on three conflict hot zones: the Russo-Ukrainian war, clashes between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea, and the war in Sudan. In the Russo-Ukrainian war, Russian forces have made marginal advances in various regions, potentially cutting off Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine. In the South China Sea, Chinese forces seized Philippine rubber boats, leading to tensions between the two countries. In Sudan, satellite images show that hundreds of towns and villages have been burned, likely as a result of the ongoing civil war.
