    Putin 'resisting' ceasefire & Kursk front collapses

    Day 1,113.

    Today, we break down the latest updates from Saudi Arabia, where US and Ukrainian officials held intense 8-hour negotiations on a proposed ceasefire deal. Next, we head to Paris, where European Defence Secretaries and military leaders are meeting to discuss the ‘coalition of the willing’ and its impact on Ukraine’s defense strategy. Finally, we explore the future of Ukrainian refugees worldwide—will they ever return home?

  • Kursk pocket closes as Ukraine advances in Donbas

    Kursk pocket closes as Ukraine advances in Donbas
    Mar 10 2025

    Day 1,111.

    Today, on the military front - Russian forces move forward in Kursk oblast and close in on the town of Sudzha while Ukraine hits another oil refinery in Russia’s Samara oblast and Ukrainian troops made some small advances in the Donbas. Meanwhile, we hear how France’s commitment to defence has played out domestically and we look ahead to several military and defence meetings happening in Paris this week. Later, we’ll hear an interview with the Governor of Kherson’s oblast, Oleksandr Prokudin, and we dive into the murky world of a Bulgarian spy ring operating in the UK, on behalf of the Kremlin.

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.

Professional, well-produced important podcast every day

I look forward to “Ukraine, the Latest” every day. The hosts and guests are all very impressive, prepared, and give valuable insights into the Ukrainian struggle against the outrageous and barbaric invasion by Russia. I feel fortunate to have found this podcast. I live in Denver Colorado. Many thanks and please keep up the wonderful reporting.

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.
