Day 1,248.

Today, we reveal new Patriot air-defence systems have already arrived in Ukraine, and provide the full, extraordinary story of the events leading up to President Trump’s u-turn which made that possible. Then we speak to a former US fighter pilot about the significance of such weapons deliveries in the air war, and about the mood in the United States, before a short dispatch from Wembley on the night Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk became undisputed heavyweight champion.
