    Russia’s deadliest day & Orban ‘gross act of disloyalty’ stalls €90bn Ukraine loan
    Mar 20 2026

    Day 1,485.

    Three days into Russia’s so called ‘spring offensive’, there are barely any advances on the ground yet casualties continue to rise. A Ukrainian delegation is on its way to Washington to resume talks tomorrow after the latest round in the diary was postponed by the war in Iran. Meanwhile the European Union stalls again in providing Ukraine with financial relief.

  • ‘Put Putin on trial’: pro-Kremlin hardliner turns on president & interview with Britain’s leading military expert

    ‘Put Putin on trial’: pro-Kremlin hardliner turns on president & interview with Britain’s leading military expert
    Mar 19 2026
    Day 1,484.Today, as Russian casualty figures continue to climb, we ask whether Moscow’s long-anticipated spring offensive has already begun. We also return to the situation in Moscow, where Vladimir Putin has been absent from public view for several days, as a formerly loyal supporter issues a dramatic call for the Russian president to step down. Then we examine the significance of comments by the CIA director on Moscow’s involvement with Iran, before speaking to one of Britain’s leading historians of strategy about where the war now stands – and the key mistakes made by both Russia and Ukraine.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to historian Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman.NOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

  • Russian army suffers highest daily loss of the year & the horror of friendly fire with Hamish de Bretton and James Hewitt

    Russian army suffers highest daily loss of the year & the horror of friendly fire with Hamish de Bretton and James Hewitt
    Mar 18 2026

    Day 1,483.

    Today, as Russia records its highest daily troop losses of the year in its war against Ukraine, we examine how the head of the Russian armed forces, General Valery Gerasimov, is reportedly presenting outdated battlefield information to Vladimir Putin to suggest the situation at the front remains under control. We report on fears that a damaged Russian shadow fleet tanker drifting in the Mediterranean Sea could trigger an environmental disaster of “unprecedented proportions”, and how President Zelensky has shown live battlefield footage from an iPad to the UK Parliament to illustrate the realities of 21st-century warfare. And later, we hear about the Make A Difference Foundation about its work supporting Ukrainian families displaced by Russia’s invasion, alongside memories from the First Gulf War with two former tank commanders, including the horror of friendly fire.

I look forward to “Ukraine, the Latest” every day. The hosts and guests are all very impressive, prepared, and give valuable insights into the Ukrainian struggle against the outrageous and barbaric invasion by Russia. I feel fortunate to have found this podcast. I live in Denver Colorado. Many thanks and please keep up the wonderful reporting.

Professional, well-produced important podcast every day

Awesome, comprehensive, heartfelt podcast. it's the authoritative podcast on the Ukraine war. Very in depth. They are certainly "pro-Ukraine" but provide unbiased analysis, if not necessarily without minor quips.

The best Ukraine podcast hands down

I have to admit; writing that title for a review seems a bit corny and potentially hyperbolic, etc, etc. Yet, this is exactly how I feel. These folks do an incredible job every day bringing us thoughtful, researched, no b.s. analysis. Their folks are smart, have expertise in the topics they discuss, and are just interesting to listen to. I'd give them 6 stars if I could. Listen out for Dom, which I think is short for Dominic; he really knows his stuff, and is also a bit opinionated, self-deprecating, fun spirited (though very subdued because of the topic), and just an excellent source of information. I can't see how this doesn't become your only/primary podcast about the Ukraine war.

Great pieces of Journalism
