I've just been in an intimate press conference with @ZelenskyyUa. Defiant and humourous, he said he "hadn't the right" to be depressed after the meeting with Trump. I asked about occupied territories and peace deal propositions. It will all be in Monday's 'Ukraine: The Latest'.
War in Ukraine. Turmoil at home. And the eternal struggle to explain British politics to our American cousins. All this and more on The Remnant with my friend @JonahDispatch. Thanks for having me, as ever. open.spotify.com/episode/0QjGRE…
Huzzah. @FrancisDearnley returns to the Remnant. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
Excited for my friend @FrancisDearnley to return to the Remnant tomorrow. Have questions on UK politics? Ukraine? Why Brits say “inverted commas” instead of “quotation marks”? Let me know in the replies.
Was in the chair for Ukraine: the Latest on Friday. Highly recommend @FrancisDearnley’s chat with @DrJadeMcGlynn on understanding Russia. youtu.be/E2FQ7h81ERc?fe…
I was on @Telegraph Ukraine Latest podcast today with my most detailed + expansive comments to date about @HRL_YaleSPH funding on Ukraine kids mission, funding fr. 🇺🇸 and other govs (or lack thereof), and incredible work of @BringKidsBackUA + @MykolaKuleba and Save 🇺🇦. Listen 👂

Been a busy week in Ukraine for @jleather @FrancisDearnley and me. We were back in the air raid shelter last night but today have the luxury of being able to leave the country. Friends we’ve just left said it’s “just another day”. youtube.com/shorts/V-2002K…

Happy Victory in Europe Day - wherever you are! Peace without justice is just a pause. That matters more now than ever. What’s happening near you to mark the day? Let’s not let Moscow’s propaganda show steal the narrative.
🚨 Out now: a special 'emergency' episode of @Telegraph's 'Ukraine: The Latest' podcast. @DomNicholls and I break down Putin's so-called 'ceasefire'. Don’t be fooled. There’s a lot more going on beneath the surface... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/spe…
Record numbers for @Telegraph's 'Ukraine: The Latest' last month - thanks for sticking with us as the world continues to audition for the apocalypse. Here’s something lighter: a dispatch about drones saving lives. I also get overexcited at a fish...🎥👇 youtu.be/rgLfw8PzDzE?si…
Yes, Europe can back Ukraine alone. Why wait? America is out. @JDVance & @PeteHegseth are smearing Europeans as "freeloaders". The Black Sea 'ceasefire' hands Russia sanctions relief. Wake up! Here's me and @CurtainSilicon on possible actions: youtube.com/watch?v=25uu4_…
To #RejectionIsland, for card games past and present.

I talked to @Telegraph Ukraine: The Latest podcast presenters @FrancisDearnley @adeliepjz about my research on Ukrainian refugees for @CHRussiaEurasia, reaction to talks in Saudi Arabia and what it means to be Ukrainian open.spotify.com/episode/655prW…
Behind that door, at the Paris Defence & Strategy Forum, ministers from 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇵🇱 and 🇬🇧 could be making the most consequential decisions regarding European security for 80 years. Press conference shortly…apparently.
Thanks @WillKingston for inviting me on @SpectatorOz's 'Fire at Will' to reflect on 3 years of war. A rare chance to step back, zoom out, and look at the bigger picture - discussing military strategy, history, and the potential for a 'peace' deal: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ukr…
