Today, Les, Jess, and Jamil discuss yesterday’s announcement from the US Ambassador to South Africa, Reuben Brigety, that the South African government had provided arms and ammunition to Russia in its over a year-long war against Ukraine.

Hear our experts debate these issues and more in less than 10 minutes on our latest episode of Fault Lines!
