  • Sorry…

    So Jonathan knows his stuff.

    But ….. His speech is insidious, and he keeps revisiting various topics, even though the podcast's frequency suggests he's reporting news.

    (And the speed is also too low)

    Anyway: stick to the news and someone else to read it.

    I've tried a few times now, but I'm giving up.

    All the best though.

Q: You've done some extraordinary reporting on the drone hunters of Kherson. Could you give a little background about what led up to that story and why you chose to bring it to light?
The unit in Kherson patrols along the Highway of Death and engages FPV drones to protect civilians; the moment highlighted how civilians stayed behind as acts of defiance and how the drones operate with little to no EM signature, making them hard to detect and stop, which underscored the moral and strategic stakes of hybrid warfare.
