Customer Reviews
Informative and Expertly Produced
I’ve been listening to “Ukraine: The Latest” for around 18 months, now. This is one of the most thoroughly researched and reliable sources of information out there, regarding the war against Ukraine by Russia. Thank you Telegraph team for your dedication to reporting on this subject.
Very entertaining
A great lighthearted and speculative look at whatever the ISW has said in the previous days. Always a good mix of bloodthirsty war lust and moralising by people who have firsthand experience of illegal wars.
John Westlake
Keep it up telegraph team. In my opinion you are still the best podcast on this horrendous war
