    Russia's drone airfield 'in flames' & French fighter jets unleashed
    Feb 6 2025

    Day 1,079.

    Today, we mark the six month anniversary of the Kursk offensive, talk about how Russian spies may be involved in bombings at Ukrainian army recruitment offices, and discuss how politicians in Ukraine have been quietly pushing the profiles looking ahead to elections at the end of the war. We're also on the ground in Ukraine at the demining headquarters of Irpin.

    Day 1,077.

The best English language coverage of the war.

Ukraine the Latest combined in depth coverage of daily events from an outstanding team of journalists with interviews of experts, volunteers, important actors and decisions makers and activists. It is not just the war itself. but the history, background, and impact of the war in Ukraine, Russia, Britain, and elsewhere.

informative

The podcast feels a lot like a daily BBC worldservice report specifically on Ukraine. The personalities are clearly biased towards Ukraine, but seem passionate about passing as much objective information as possible. Every episode is interesting and provides a new insight.

Great pieces of Journalism

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.

Excellent Journalism from Relatable Journalists

This podcast does a great job of covering all aspects of the war, not just arrows on a map. They discuss the strategic and tactical side, but also the human side, and they do it in a responsible way. It is excellent content for listeners from either side of the pond.

Listening from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, Canada

I wait every day to hear this podcast. Excellent coverage and it's nice to hear my country mentioned.

Dom, I think the Ambassador is wearing the Shaw tartan which I believe is under the Campbells. this is from a vague memory I have from my wedding to my Scottish husband. That tartan was the only one of its kind at the reception...I could be wrong. unfortunately the only person who knows is now dead. Anyway that's my guess.
