    Putin calls up 160,000 Russians for military service & what did Biden get wrong on Ukraine?
    Apr 1 2025

    Day 1,133.

    Today, further to news from the battlefront and beyond, we look at Putin's decision to mobilise a record number of men, and what it means for the prospects of a meaningful ceasefire. Then, in a special interview, Francis Dearnley talks to one of the men involved in some of the most important decisions made by the Biden administration relating to the war. What did they get right, and what did they get wrong?

  • Trump lashes out at Putin as ceasefire talks stall & America’s secret military partnership with Ukraine

    Trump lashes out at Putin as ceasefire talks stall & America’s secret military partnership with Ukraine
    Mar 31 2025

    Day 1,132.

    Today, as reports surface of Russian attempts to get behind Ukrainian lines in the Donbas by going underground, we assess the impact of Donald Trump’s supposed loss of patience with both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, asking how much of the rage is concocted, and we hear more about the experience of women who endured torture at the hands of the Russians.

Deep Dive

I am listening to a number of podcasts about the war in Ukraine, for personal reasons it is very important to me. I have discovered this podcast rather late in the piece, and I admit that this is due to my political bias; I am not a natural member of the readership of the Daily Telegraph. However, when focused on the Ukraine War, this collection of reporters provide outstanding reportage of events, and excellent analysis, without to much over speculation. I think this is the best of the day to day podcasts reporting on the situation on the ground, and the wider strategic and political detail. Thank you.
Anton

Comprehensive Overview of the war Ukraine 🇺🇦

This is a daily podcast on military and political views across the globe, which affects democracy in Ukraine and the rest of the world.

I’ve found this podcast very informative and the analysis brilliant. All data is verifiable and not like misinformation you see on the social media.

I have a better understanding of this war and the implications for Ukraine, the genocide committed by Putin to restore the former soviet countries.

I want to thank the telegraph on their reporting and excellent independent panel they interview.

Keep up the good work.

Day 598 Amazing Interviewee

It was fantastic to understand how Ukrainian partners are helping Ukraine and the wider global community to stop Putin's architecture from manufacturing military armaments. Great insight!
