Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 15.2k ratings
  • The best

    This is well produced, informative and emotionally supportive for those caring for Ukraine. Also very British in its mix of subtle humour, elegant analysis and explicit outrage for Russia and its accomplices.

  • This is an outstanding daily report of events in Ukraine. A wide range of opinions are brought in, and I'm amazed the team has managed to sustain such a high standard when they are creating a new pod every day. Well done team!

    Updated review after more than 4 yrs: and extraordinary effort by the Telegraph and their journalists to sustain this broadcast. On the anniversary of the death of the founder, David, it feels appropriate to pay tribute to this team of journalists. You do honourable work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exclusive interview: Ukraine’s drone chief Robert ‘Magyar’ Brovdi – ‘We will turn Putin’s soldiers into stewed meat’
Q: Could you tell me what Zelensky's statement about closing Russia's skies implies for Ukraine's drone strategy and Russia's morale?
The guest explains that deep strikes focus on tactical fronts and that a broader strategy leverages drones to shape the battlefield, while deep operations aim to shift the war into Russian territory to impact morale and political calculations.
Exclusive: Drone warfare makes us long for the trenches, say frontline soldiers
Q: What is changing about how war is fought on the Ukrainian front, and how is that affecting soldiers on the ground?
Drones, especially FPV ones, are redefining the front by increasing tempo, range, and unpredictability, reducing the dominance of traditional infantry actions and forcing soldiers to adapt to new tech-driven threats and a different kind of stamina.
Exclusive: ‘My son moved to Russia for love. Now, he’s missing on the front line’
Q: What happened to Valerie's son Nathan Stobbart and why is his story significant?
Nathan, a British citizen who moved to Russia and married, was coerced into joining the Russian army and went missing in action. Valerie's pursuit of information exposes a personal cost behind geopolitical reporting and raises questions about how families are supported when a loved one disappears in wartime.
Ukrainian counterattack 'liberates 200 square kilometres' & remembering David Knowles, creator of 'Ukraine: The Latest'
Q: Hi David. Very short answer, very simple answer is no. There's nothing we can know for certain. War is always a very confusing activity.
The hosts discuss the fog of war and the limits of certainty, emphasizing that even analysts must accept uncertainty and legality when reporting on ongoing conflict.
Kyiv hit by longest air-raid alert since war began & frontline troops test rifle-wielding robots
Q: Can you talk through some of the stories behind the musicians involved in the Ukraine Freedom Orchestra?
Musicians travel from across Ukraine and beyond, many returning home only in summers; some have had to pause or be drafted into the army, yet they keep rehearsing and performing to sustain cultural life and morale amid the war.
