war and conflict

In September 2023, the Ukraine: The Latest team took a trip to Washington DC for a live show at the British Embassy. While in the US, host David Knowles went to a Ukrainian festival at St. Andrew's Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in Silver Spring, Maryland. 

The festival promised Ukrainian music, culture, dancing, singing...and even a Cossack beer garden! In this special episode of Ukraine: the Latest, David meets attendees, some of whom were 4th or even 5th generation American Ukrainians, and some who had arrived after fleeing the full-scale invasion.

Charities: We have spoken to many charities this year - from Vans Without Borders, to GP Now, to KHARPP - and we receive many messages from listeners asking for recommendations of charities they can support. We include a link to the Ukrainian Institute of London's list of charities and organisations they recommend: https://ukrainianinstitute.org.uk/russias-war-against-ukraine-what-can-you-do-to-support-ukraine-ukrainians/

Many of our listeners have raised concerns over the potential sale of Telegraph Media Group to the Abu Dhabi-linked Redbird IMI. We are inviting the submission of comments on the process. Email salecomments@telegraph.co.uk or dtletters@telegraph.co.uk to have your say.

Liz Truss is back.

And oh.

So are those pauses.

She tells Spectator TV she doesn't want to be PM again but she does want to promote her economic ideas. (You remember the ones that nearly melted the markets). We ask why there has been so little self reflection. And if her economic diagnosis might one day prove right...

And we speak to Malte Grunert - producer of the world's most harrowing film, All Quiet on the Western Front about German attitudes to war, modern warfare and German history.
