  • Air raid inferno ends Easter 'truce' & Trump hopes to end war 'this week'

    Air raid inferno ends Easter 'truce' & Trump hopes to end war 'this week'
    Apr 22 2025

    Day 1,154.

    Today, we ask how meaningful the weekend’s so-called ‘Easter truce’ really was, look at the new American peace proposals put to Kyiv and its allies – which include major concessions both in territory and sovereignty – then reflect on the legacy of Pope Francis in relation to the war. Later, we hear about a new book investigating Russian spies who spent decades undercover: what does it teach us about modern spycraft?

  • Special: Childhood At War

    Special: Childhood At War
    Apr 21 2025

    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.

    Special: 'Truce' as Putin orders sudden ceasefire in Ukraine - but is it too good to be true?
    Apr 19 2025

    Day 1,149.

    Today, after the unexpected announcement by Vladimir Putin of a 30-hour truce for Easter we assess what it might mean for the war, how likely it is to hold and discuss what comes next. Having rejected Donald Trump’s proposal for an unconditional ceasefire 39 days ago, what does Putin hope to gain by this latest gamble? Francis Dearnley and Dom Nicholls offer their thoughts.

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.
