    302. America First, Ukraine Last?
    Jul 4 2025
    This week on Battleground, Saul David and Patrick Bishop delve into the disappointing turn in US support. Whilst meetings last week at the NATO summit offered a glimmer of hope, the White House's abrupt decision to halt key weapons supplies, including Patriot missiles, has left Ukraine's defences vulnerable. Additionally, we hear directly from Eddy Scott, a 28-year-old British volunteer who tragically lost an arm and a leg in a Russian drone attack while evacuating civilians from the front-line town of Pokrovsk. Eddy shares his harrowing experience and the circumstances that led him to volunteer in Ukraine.

    300. Trump's Middle East Doctrine: What Will it Mean for Ukraine?
    Jun 27 2025
    Join Patrick Bishop and Saul David on Battleground as they dissect the astonishing new dynamics in global power politics. Donald Trump's recent decisive actions in the Iran-Israel crisis – including a spectacular strike on Iran's nuclear program and an imposed ceasefire – has observers questioning his evolving foreign policy. To help them answer the big question: will Trump apply this new assertive stance to Putin and the war in Ukraine? They turn to friend of the podcast Askold Krushelnycky who tells us the mood in Ukraine amidst these dramatic shifts. We want YOUR input on what we should cover next!
