On 'Ukraine: The Latest', the pre-eminent podcast for Ukraine updates, our correspondents on the ground talk to experts and civilians to cover every aspect of Russia's brutal invasion.

Exclusive interview with Sir Lawrence Freedman on Ukraine and Russia's strategy in 2024
Day 817.
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.

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.
John Westlake
Keep it up telegraph team. In my opinion you are still the best podcast on this horrendous war
Used to be … Excellent program…. Update.. now listen occasionally
Update:-may 24 bored now. It’s obvious Russia have won and Ukraine happy to kill more men and women and we will bleed more funds and go further going into debt, which is now unsustainable.
Hopefully D. trump wins later in the year which will end this farce
Update October. Ok I’m back on it and think it’s the best think since sliced bread. Hats off to the guys for being so persistand and believable. Great interviews. to be the best program about the conflict. Now it just sounds like a propaganda program for Ukraine (probably correctly but I’m sensing some dodgy material creeping in) Think done listening now . August ‘23. Getting tired of this now. Sad to say and awful for the Ukrainian people but now obvious that someone does not want this war to end … people suffer. The rich will get richer.. …. But it’s becoming obvious now that the US is desperately trying to start something very serious (they are far away and safe), not everyone in the world thinks they are right (China and Democratic India), needs to stick to the news and stop making social commentary with certain interviewees
