Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukraine, damaging Kyiv's UNESCO-listed Pechersk Lavra monastery while Ukraine continues striking military infrastructure inside Russia.

In this week's Talk Eastern Europe News Roundup, Adam Reichardt and Nina Panikova discuss:

- Russia's latest missile attacks on Ukraine and the damage to one of the country's most important cultural landmarks.
- Ukraine's growing campaign against Russian oil infrastructure and Crimea.
- What came out of the G7 summit and whether diplomatic efforts could restart negotiations.
- The shocking murder of Russian dissident cartoonist Robert Kuzovkov in Poland and what it says about Russia's reach inside Europe.
- Why Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a historic visit to Slovakia – and what it means for Central Europe.
- An update on rising tensions in Polish-Ukrainian relations.

Plus: Adam previews his exclusive interview with former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt.
