Day 814. Today, we discuss whether more Ukrainian strikes in Crimea and Russia have pushed Putin to start talking about negotiations, and hear of another senior Russian military official sacked, in what is starting to look like a purge of the top echelons of Russia’s defence establishment.

    So for two years now, Russia only had shovels and washing machines right? I mean, they ran out of weapons and ammo 2 years ago, the Brits said so.

    Putin wants peace..... a piece of Moldova, a piece of Georgia, a piece of Chechnya, a piece of Ukraine....

    I see the Telegraph has continued its track record of being the only paper to have endorsed the Conservatives in every general election since the signing of the Magna Carta. Fortunately, even if Sunak loses, Labour has been very clear that they want to continue the current government's defense stance with regards to Ukraine.

    Just 10 minutes ago my friend messaged me from Kharkiv that 2 glide bombs hit shopping mall close to her temporary home. Saturday, shopping mall...

    Of course Dom feeds his pizza to dogs! What a compassionate man. Of course he would feed hungry dogs. Love the man! Just scrolling through the comments and finding so much disinformation from Putin's dupes. I don't usually comment, but I felt I needed to do my part to support The Telegraph and its team.
  • @TyllerBoom
    Remember when Russians were calling Ukraine finished for having one leadership change? I do.
  • @garryt6356
    Thanks Telegraph for the vital news which so many outlets are ignoring. Great reporting as always!

    Greetings from Helsinki. Will try to make it to Ukraine's west in winter, if possible. As the interviewed writer recommended. Would love to see Zakarpathian region.

    Putin should not have put his country so close to NATO.
  • @TC-iv6xr
    I already loved Dom but now I find out that he he feeds his pizza to dogs so I'm head over heels

    Excellent episode as usual. Just to note (sorry to be pedantic!) it's the British Trust for Ornithology (the BTO) rather than the British Trust for Birds.
  • It seems Ukraine is setting the battle field for the arrival of the F16s.

    Jen, I found and bought your book - Night Train to Odesa: Covering the Human Cost of Russia's War, author Jen Stout - I hope it becomes a best seller and sales support your ongoing work.

    "Ceasefire" seems to be the new call of the loser. One thing about the west, it's a place that often believes in fairness, this ceasefire crap is aiming to exploit that.
  • @kevinhughes8749
    It's a 'fully sick', alive podcast, of course I guess. Thanks for bringing on board this evil war's effects on literally, absolutely the whole war environment and damage.

    I love your repartee, a brilliant partnership. Francis keep up the initiative on Don. Don’ let him get away with his quick jabs.
