  • 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.
