now on bbc news, it s hardtalk with stephen sackur. welcome to hardtalk. i m stephen sackur. as russia s war on ukraine grinds into a second year, how complete is vladimir putin s control of the home front? critics of the war risk prison, independent media outlets have been closed down, and the kremlin propaganda machine has been supercharged. but thanks to the internet, the costs of this war cannot be entirely hidden from russian eyes. my guest is tikhon dzyadko, editor in chief of dozhd or tv rain, founded as an independent tv channel in moscow, now broadcasting from riga. are russians ready to question what their government tells them? tikhon dzyadko in riga, latvia, welcome to hardtalk. thank you so much for having me here. it s a great pleasure to have you on this show. now, it strikes me this past year has been one of extraordinary challenge and disruption for you at tv rain. the reason, i guess, is simple vladimir putin would like to see you cease to exist. how close

united states and around the world. i m fareed zakaria. today we devote the program to that sobering anniversary. one year since russia s full-scale invasion of ukraine. i ll bring you my interview with the national security adviser jake sullivan and usaid administrator samantha powell about where the war and america s assistance go from here. also, who should foot the bill for the hundreds of billions of dollars in damage to ukraine? former treasury secretary larry summers says the answer is easy. listen to him explain his plan. then why putin s war in ukraine may not be proceeding as he hoped. the russian president may be getting exactly what he always wanted back home in russia. the new york times valerie hopkins will explain. but first, here s my take. one year into russia s naked aggression against ukraine, it s become clear that neither side is strong enough to win the war nor weak enough to sue for peace. the conflict has settled into a stalemate. after m
