Ukrainian city faces threat of 2nd Russian occupation

Season 2026 Episode 98 | 7m 43s

As Russia prepares for a large-scale spring offensive, a city near the frontline is preparing for the worst. Control of Izyum is vital for Ukraine as the link between Kharkiv and Donetsk. Izyum was occupied by Russian forces for six months in 2022. Ukrainian forces liberated it and exposed Russian war crimes. Now, that threat of occupation is real. Producer Amanda Bailly and Nick Schifrin report.
