Ukraine: The Latest Folgen

Day 1,097.Today, we mark the third anniversary of the full scale invasion. We hear live from Kyiv - where world leaders are gathering - talk about Ukraine’s announcement to produce missiles - including ballistic missiles - and make sense of what the German election result means for Ukraine. We also hear from what it was like at Number 10 on the day of the invasion from Boris Johnson's former speech writer, and hear an exclusive interview with the former prime minister, also in Kyiv for the anniversary.Contributors:Adélie Pojzman-Pontay (Journalist and Producer). @adeliepjz on X.Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Colin Freeman, live in Kyiv. @colinfreeman99 on X.David Blair (Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator). @davidblairdt on X.NOW AVAILABLE IN NEW LANGUAGES:The Telegraph has launched translated versions of Ukraine: The Latest in Ukrainian and Russian, making its reporting accessible to audiences on both sides of the battle lines and across the wider region, including Central Asia and the Caucasus.

Day 1,094.Today, we hear how Washington is said to be considering a deal, which – if Russia broke – would see Ukraine automatically acquire membership to NATO, hear about possible European-specific alternatives to the alliance, and return again to the subject being forgotten in many discussions at the moment: war crimes. Later, to end the week, you’ll hear a special report from Adélie Pojzman-Pontay into Ukrainian art history and culture.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dr Mike Martin MP (Senior Visiting Fellow at The Department of War Studies, King's College London). @ThreshedThought on X.Verity Bowman (Foreign Reporter). @VerityBowman on X.With thanks to Tetyana Filevska (Creative Director of the Ukrainian Institute - https://ui.org.ua/), and Julia Solovey (co-founder of public organization Ukraine WOW - https://ukrainewow.org/).Content Referenced: Telegraph Ukraine Live Blog:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/02/21/ukraine-russia-war-latest-news-china-trump/Ukraine could get instant Nato membership if Russia breaks peace deal (The Telegraph):https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/02/20/ukraine-russia-war-donald-trump-putin-zelensky-peace-kyiv/Ukrainian female POWs tortured and paraded naked through the snow by Russian troops (Verity Bowman's Investigation in The Telegraph):https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/women-and-girls/ukrainian-female-pows-tortured-and-paraded-naked-by-russian/In Private Remarks on Russia, Rubio Tries to Reassure Europeans (New York Times):https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/us/politics/rubio-russia-europe.htmlRussia wants to declare 'victory' over Ukraine on Feb. 24, Ukrainian intel claims (Kyiv Independent):https://kyivindependent.com/russia-wants-to-declare-victory-over-ukraine-on-feb-24-military-intelligence-claims/Russia's Weakness Offers Leverage (ISW Special Report):https://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russias-weakness-offers-leverageDr Mike Martin's Thread:https://x.com/ThreshedThought/status/1892822755885592663?t=50uKvTgEYdgNpVOj2rnlGg&s=03Subscribe to The Telegraph: telegraph.co.uk/ukrainethelatestEmail: ukrainepod@telegraph.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Day 1,093.Today, as Donald Trump calls President Zelensky a ‘dictator’, we look at the conundrum facing Europe: to speak out and risk fraying American support, or to stay quiet, and not articulate their sense of betrayal. And, later, we talk about the strategic options available, and dive deeper into the British plans of putting boots on the ground.Contributors:Adélie Pojzman-Pontay (Journalist and Producer). @adeliepjz on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Hamish de Bretton-Gordon (Chemical Weapons Expert and Former Tank Commander). @HamishDBG on X.Francis Farrell (Reporter at Kyiv Independent). @francisjfarrell on X.Survey:We want to hear from you!
