  • Excellent coverage of our Ukrainian friends in their time of need.

    As a regular listener for years, I just have to say thank you for continuing to cover this and so professionally too now with YouTube video! I am an American who wishes we all could have done more right at the start to stop Russia war of aggression in its tracks.

  • Bye Bye BBC

    I was gutted when my favourite Ukraine Cast stopped. Over the last 2 years I have noticed a continuous erosion of the objectivity and intelligence of BBC news but at least I could rely on Ukraine cast. I stopped visiting the World headlines several months ago. Imagine my delight to find out today that there is an up to date, objective, assessment of Ukraine news still available

  • Judgements yet unwilling

    If Russia is primary threat to Europe, send some troops to help Ukraine.

    How is Hungary in the EU if they have a dictatorship? You people got a lot of keen judgements of others, a lot of answers, without real actions to uphold those judgements. Ukraine deserves help with Europe’s biggest threat.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

‘Put Putin on trial’: pro-Kremlin hardliner turns on president & interview with Britain’s leading military expert
Q: In your escalation essay, what was the defining error in the Western approach to deterrence and escalation?
The error was assuming we could trigger a big, catastrophic response by escalating in measured steps; in practice, the US and allies hesitated to move to longer-range or more aggressive measures, which allowed Russia to push a strategic off-ramp and prolong the war.
‘Put Putin on trial’: pro-Kremlin hardliner turns on president & interview with Britain’s leading military expert
Q: The first is called Strategic Fanaticism, Vladimir Putin and Ukraine. Could you unpack that concept and tell us whether you still believe it describes Putin's fixation on Ukraine?
Putin's fixation stems from a long-standing effort to control Donbas and assert strategic reach; while there have been moments where he could have sought a deal, he has doubled down rather than cutting losses, which has shaped Russia's strategic posture and prolonged the conflict.
Russia loses 7000 troops in 5 days & Putin tells Trump: I’ll stop giving Iran intel if you cut off Ukraine
Q: Do you think Flamingo is there now as a regular available military capability?
It appears production is ongoing and there have been sightings of larger explosions suggesting something more capable than a propeller drone, but whether Flamingo is fully routine remains uncertain.
‘Staggering’ Russian losses as ‘tens of thousands of troops’ stall in Putin’s spring offensive & interviewing Ukrainians who fought for Russia
Q: Can you describe how the two researchers gathered testimonies and what kinds of experiences they captured?
They collected testimonies through The Reckoning Project, interviewing men forcibly conscripted or recruited in occupied territories, and they blogged about the complexities of the men's motivations, propaganda exposure, and experiences, all while maintaining ethical and legal standards for interviews with prisoners of war.
Moscow on lockdown amid largest drone attack of the war & ‘the phone call that saved me from certain death’
Q: What happened that nearly cost you your life in Kramatorsk?
A planned meeting with a Ukrainian intelligence contact led to us leaving a pizza restaurant moments before a missile struck, and a life‑saving phone call redirected us to safety, highlighting the randomness and danger reporters face on the ground.
