Later, you’ll hear Dom’s interview with the UN’s Special Rapporteur for Torture, Alice Edwards, and a note: our discussion covers graphic descriptions of sexual torture.

Published on: September 16, 2025F-16s chase Russian drone in Romania & Ukrainian saboteurs derail trains, blow up Russian soldiers
Day 1,300.
Today, we unpack what happened in Romania over the weekend, where a Russian drone flew into its airspace for almost an hour. And we look at the fall out responses from Nato & Europe since last week’s similar incursion in Poland. Meanwhile in Russia, Ukrainian saboteurs derailed two trains over the weekend. Finally, we discuss Russia’s economy and oil industry and zoom in on India and whether, as Trump put it a few weeks, it is indeed lost to ‘deepest, darkest China.’

Published on: September 15, 2025How Trump's purges weaken the CIA & Russian ship on fire after drone hit
The original edit of this podcast episode stated that Europe was close to a trade deal with Russia. This was a misspeak and should have said Europe was close to a deal with China. Thank you to those who flagged this mistake, we are happy to correct the record.
Day 1,297.
Today, we dive into Donald Trump’s campaign of revenge against CIA officials and into new and upcoming sanctions against Russia as pressure continues to mount following the drone incursion into the Polish airspace. And finally, we hear the second part of David Knowles’s work on the fight against corruption Ukraine, recorded shortly before his death.

We also hear how the latest Coalition of the Willing meeting occurred as China said - with caveats - that it might be willing to commit troops to any post-ceasefire force, and we hear how Russian motor racing chiefs have hit the barriers in a spat with Formula 1.

Today is a public holiday in Britain, so we bring you a special panel Francis Dearnley hosted during his trip to Germany at the LANDEURO conference hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army. Titled “Ukrainian Innovation at the Speed of Relevance”, it offers a firsthand look at how Ukraine’s defense forces are reshaping the future of military conflict, centering on how wartime necessity has accelerated innovation across critical domains, particularly artificial intelligence, drone warfare, digital finance, and scalable software. It is one of the deepest dives on drone development we have ever covered on the podcast.

Published on: August 22, 2025Russia bombs American factory in one of war’s largest attacks, defying Trump peace efforts
Day 1,275.
Today, as Russia’s foreign minister accuses the Coalition of the Willing of “undermining” efforts to secure peace in Ukraine – comments later described as nothing but “noise” – Vladimir Putin makes clear how serious he is about negotiating peace by launching another mass aerial attack. Far from ending the war, we hear how Donald Trump is apparently going to “step back” from peace talks “for now”. Plus, we look at how Ukraine has demonstrated the next stage of drone development with a strike on Russian forces in the Black Sea, and interview the commander of Finland’s armed forces.

Today, as President Donald Trump says the US may provide air support to back a Ukraine peace deal, we assess reports that as many as 10 European countries are considering putting boots on the ground if Russia agrees to end its war.

Published on: August 19, 2025BONUS: Putin and Zelensky to meet within two weeks & US 'to protect Ukraine as part of a peace deal'
In this special episode, recorded just after an unprecedented White House summit, we analyse the impact on President Volodymyr Zelensky and his European allies. Was the meeting a diplomatic win for Ukraine? How credible is Donald Trump’s pledge to commit US forces to defend Ukraine in a future peace deal? And could it benefit Zelensky strategically to meet Vladimir Putin without the American President at the table?

Today, after the Trump and Putin summit in the United States ends without accord – but with certain principles for peace seemingly agreed between them – we look ahead to the vital meeting between Zelensky, Trump, and European leaders in the White House, and consider why the proposal for Ukraine to cede Donbas would leave Ukraine strategically exposed.
We will be releasing a bonus episode immediately after the summit.

Plus, we explore issues around the use of tourniquets in combat and how their misuse might be causing unnecessary deaths.

Published on: May 27, 2025War's oldest weapon - how Russia terrorises women
Today is a public holiday here in the UK, and so we’re releasing a special episode on one of the great taboo subjects in the history of warfare: that of the role of gender and sexual violence. Firstly, Adelie speaks with Sofi Oksanen, who just published the viral essay 'Same River, Twice, Putin’s War on Women'. She discusses how historic attitudes to gender in Russia impacted post-Soviet history. The second interview is with Tetiana Tymoshenko, a therapist who works with survivors of rape in Ukraine with the UNFPA. Listener discretion is especially advised for this episode.

Today, as Vladimir Putin rejects mounting Western pressure to attend peace talks in Turkey with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, attention turns to the controversial delegation he's sending in his place. Who are these representatives, and why are international diplomats describing their presence as an ‘insult’ to the peace process? Plus, we report on a new monument to Joseph Stalin unveiled in Moscow, and investigate how Russia’s military build-up is accelerating, not slowing, despite the war’s toll.

Today, we discuss reports of staged anti-Western protests ahead of Russia’s Victory Day parade last week, where ‘activists for hire’ chanted slogans in front of several EU embassies. We also look at the 17th package of sanctions agreed on by EU ambassadors, which will have severe ramifications for Vladimir Putin’s shadow fleet. Finally, we hear about the escalation of strikes on civilians since the beginning of 2025 and their consequences, especially for children.

Day 1,171.
Today, as Vladimir Putin hosts world leaders in Moscow for his Victory Day Parade, we break down what was really on display: both in military hardware and political messaging. How much of the spectacle honored World War II, and how much signaled the rise of a militarised Russia? Then, we speak with a former Ukrainian MP and leader of the Sky Shield initiative about proposals for Kyiv’s allies to shoot down enemy missiles, and report on the latest resistance efforts in occupied territories.

Published on: April 28, 2025Bomb in Moscow kills senior Russian general & Trump tells Putin ‘Vladimir, stop’ after Kyiv strike
Day 1,157.
Today, after Donald Trump makes the rare intervention of scolding Vladimir Putin for one of the deadliest attacks on Kyiv of the war, we discuss the latest considerations of the coalition of the willing with regards to boots on the ground, and the evolving nature of acts of resistance in the occupied territories – and within Russia itself. Later, we listen to recordings from Ukraine that reveal the impact the conflict has had on the natural environment.

Then we take a deep dive into the Wagner mercenary group with the author of a new book who says Yevgeny Prigozhin’s outfit is the logical outcome when a country contracts its soul to a pitiless militia.

Published on: April 22, 2025Special: Childhood At War
Today is a public holiday in Britain, so in a special Easter episode, we take you to a grand terrace in West London, where a green door blends into its elegant surroundings.
We go behind that door – into a school unlike any other. There, you’ll hear from young Ukrainians who fled their homes within hours of the invasion, and from the teachers and classmates helping them rebuild their lives in a foreign land.
Through their voices, we explore what it means to grow up far from home – and how one London school has become both a lifeline and a second home for a generation caught between worlds.

Published on: April 3, 2025Trump team admit ‘peace deal unlikely’ as anger builds at Putin
Day 1,134.
Today, as Moscow resumes its bombardments on Ukraine, we discuss reports that it is dawning on Donald Trump’s administration that a swift ceasefire deal is not going to happen without action against the Russian economy. Then we return to that very subject, and ask: how much leverage does the White House have on sanctions, and is it declining?

Published on: March 11, 2025Kursk pocket closes as Ukraine advances in Donbas
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.

Day 1,108.
Today, Russian forces split Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region and advance towards the border. Meanwhile, Russia targets a Ukrainian gas facility with missiles and drones just after Zelensky calls for a truce on attacks on infrastructure. On the political side, we discuss the consequences of the withdrawal of US intelligence to Ukraine, the French nuclear shield offer, and Russia’s response to the idea of European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine. We also look to Washington for the Hegseth and Healey summit. Lastly, we sit down with Sir Bill Browder and Yuliya Ziskina to discuss why Russian frozen assets should be transferred to Ukraine for defence spending and reparations.

Day 1,086.
Today, we discuss what many are calling a “turning point” in the war and in Western foreign policy, as the Trump administration declares definitively the US will no longer be a primary guarantor of Europe's security, and seeks a deal with Russia over the heads of Kyiv and its allies. We hear the reaction from Brussels and Ukraine, and consider the options for those Western nations that remain committed to Ukrainian independence.

Published on: October 7, 2024David's Final Episodes: World War II - Hitler, Stalin & Ukraine
In today's special episode David Knowles speaks to historian, author and podcaster James Holland (@James1940 on X) about the Eastern Front in the Second World War.
This was recorded and edited by David shortly before his sudden passing.
The Second World War was catastrophic for Ukraine: millions died in the fighting and occupations, the battles that crossed the country were brutal and grinding, the country’s Jews were exterminated in the ‘Holocaust of bullets’, and the eventual Soviet victory ensured decades of further domination and control from Moscow.
This episode aims to give a broad account of the period and explore some of the key issues and stories.

Published on: July 22, 2024Return to Bucha: how a community rebuilds after a massacre
This episode is available now to Telegraph subscribers and will be available to everyone on the 17th July.
In the first of The Telegraph's special podcasts on the war in Ukraine. Presenter David Knowles and Producer Adélie Pojzman-Pontay travel to Bucha and Hostomel, north of Kyiv, to hear the stories of citizens who survived Russia's brutal occupation in Spring 2022.
In Hostomel they meet Roman, a young Ukrainian man who fled his new apartment as Russian forces advanced. When he returned after the liberation he discovered the disgusting ways the occupying troops had treated his home.
Then, they travel to Bucha to see an old friend, Ihor Savchenko. Two years on from the occupation of Bucha, Ihor is helping his community piece their lives back together even though the war threatens to engulf him once again.
We first met Ihor's daughter Katya in 2022 - listen to that episode here: https://shows.acast.com/ukraine-the-latest/episodes/658301371b4a0600176a40ee

Today is a bank holiday in the United Kingdom, so we pre-recorded an interview with one of our most requested guests: Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman of the department of War Studies at King's College London.
A world-renowned expert on international history and strategic theory, he is a well-known commentator on security issues, and the author of many books, including most recently: ‘Command: The Politics of Military Operations from Korea to Ukraine.’
David Knowles sat down with him to discuss which country has the strategic initiative in the war, the ways the battlefront is likely to evolve over the coming months, and what experts have got right, and wrong, about the way the war has progressed.

Published on: April 2, 2024Mikhail Bulgakov: the author on the front line of Ukraine's new 'culture war'
Day 765.
Today, in a special episode over Easter Monday, Francis visits the Bulgakov Museum in Kyiv to discuss the life and times of one of the most controversial writers in Ukraine today.
Milkail Bulgakov (1891-1940), author of The Master and Margarita, was a witness to the Ukrainian War of Independence between 1917 and 1921 – resurrecting it in his novel The White Guard – and is therefore a pivotal figure in the literary history of Ukraine, especially given his vivid depiction of Kyiv at war, as it is now.
Francis talks to researcher Maryna Sychenko about the current battle over Bulgakov's legacy, and whether he should be seen as a Russian or Ukrainian writer. Plus, she shares her own memories of the full-scale invasion.

In this special edition of The Telegraph's Ukraine: The Latest podcast, the team appeared in Kyiv alongside a Nobel peace prize winner.
Telegraph journalists David Knowles, Francis Dearnley and Dominic Nicholls were joined by Oleksandra Matviichuk, the head of the Center for Civil Liberties.
“As a human rights lawyer, I have spent years and years implementing law to defend people and human dignity,” said Ms Matviichuk. “But now I find myself in a situation where the law doesn’t work. Because Russian troops are deliberately shelling residential buildings, schools, churches, hospitals.
“They are abducting, robbing, raping and killing civilians… and the entire UN architecture of peace and security can't stop it. “My answer is: give Ukraine weapons.”

Today, we’re publishing one of the last interviews conducted by David on our US trip back in September 2023. Listeners may remember David hosted a panel discussion at Georgetown University, which we later shared as a special, two-part episode.
After that recording several of the students stayed to chat to their professors and David.
One of the students was a freshman called Marta. Originally from Kharkiv, she had left Ukraine to study in the US. Her stories were fascinating and moving. We decided to interview her properly and returned to Georgetown a week later.
In this special episode, Marta speaks about her experience growing up in Ukraine, applying for university while the air raid alarm wailed and the emotional challenge of keeping in touch with her father, who is fighting in the war.

Published on: January 29, 2024Inside the bunker with Zelensky: an exclusive interview with Simon Shuster
In his first book, The Showman, Simon relates how he saw firsthand Zelensky conduct this war, from the bunker to the frontlines, and how he used his experience as a communicator to articulate, and inspire, the country’s defiance.
In the book and our interview, Simon examines how the brutal invasion and Ukrainian resistance changed Zelensky, creating a tougher, more serious man than he had first met in 2019 on the eve of his astonishing presidential victory.
It was a privilege to be able to speak to Simon – a longtime listener of the podcast – and understand more about his time in the Presidential bunker during the first year of the war.
Simon's book is available from the following links:

This episode of Battle Lines was released on Friday 27th of October, before Israel’s overnight strikes on Gaza.

Also, Senior Foreign Correspondent Sophia Yan brings us the latest from Turkey and reports on a wave of anti-semitism in China and Brussels Editor Joe Barnes explains some of the lessons the IDF are taking from the war in Ukraine.

Published on: August 29, 2023Exclusive interview with Serhii Plokhy: Lessons from History
Please note: Today is a national Bank Holiday in the UK. Our regular programming will return tomorrow.
Day 550.
The history of Ukraine and Russia is a subject that has come up again and again on this podcast. Good history and ‘bad’ history underpin how all of us understand the origins, reasons and justifications for the ongoing full-scale invasion. One guiding light is Ukrainian historian Serhii Plokhy: professor of Ukrainian history and Director at the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University.
His books, from ‘The Gates of Europe’ to the recently released 'Russo-Ukrainian War' are essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Ukraine and its history.
David Knowles spoke to Professor Plokhy recently about Ukrainian and Russian history, parallels with the Second World War and revelations in his new book.

Here's Front Line Kitchen's borscht recipe:
Ingredients:
pork (beef, chicken) preferably on the bone - 400 g,
cabbage - 400 g,
potatoes - 300 g,
beetroot - 200 g, carrots - 1-2 pcs.,
parsley root, parsnip, celery - 1 pc.,
bell pepper - 1 pc.,
onion - 1 pc.,
tomato puree - 2-3 tbsp. spoons,
oil for frying, garlic, dill and parsley greens, pepper, bay leaf, salt.
Preparation:
Red borscht is usually in broth, so it is boiled first. Next, cut the beets into strips, add salt, pour into a pan, fry in oil, adding tomato puree, bring to half-cooked. Onions, carrots, parsley root, parsnip and celery, and bell pepper should also be fried.
Throw the potatoes into the broth, bring it to half-cooked again, then put the cabbage and cook for another 10 minutes, and then season it with roasting and let it boil for another 5 minutes.
Garnish with garlic, green dill and parsley. Leave for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Over the Christmas week we’re doing things a little differently. Today is the first part of a special two part podcast on the life and works of Ukrainian poet, writer and artist, Taras Shevchenko.
Shevchenko’s life is a fascinating story. Born in serfdom in 1814, he died in 1861 in St Petersburg. His life is one of incredible creativity, artistic talent and gives us a fascinating glimpse back into 19th century Ukrainian history at a time when the Russian Empire was in its heyday. Understanding him, his life and his impact on Ukrainian culture, should help us better contemporary modern Ukraine and that is what this two part podcast will try and do.

Published on: July 19, 2022"I survived Bucha": an interview with Katya Savchenko
Today, we break from the normal programme to interview Bucha survivor, Katya Savchenko.
Before the 24th February, the town of Bucha was known as, an attractive suburb, north west of Kyiv.
During the early part of the invasion, it was the scene of heavy fighting as Ukrainian and Russian forces battled for control. For weeks, the town was under Russian occupation and, soon after they were pushed back, horrendous stories of murder, rape and torture emerged from civilians who had stayed in the town.
Katya Savchenko stayed in Bucha. She survived, many of the people she met, didn’t.
