This podcast is awesome!

The best podcast on all things Ukraine and the war. If you’re interested in keeping up to date on everything going on, you need to listen to it. And it’s pretty much everyday with updates. Слава Україні! Слава нації! Героям слава! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🫡

This podcast needs to win all the awards

I’m a Ukrainian immigrant to the US since 1988 and this is the best English language source I’ve discovered and look forward to it every day. American media coverage of the war is woefully inadequate. It is impressive to put out such a comprehensive high quality and engaging podcast daily! Well done and thank you

Gives me hope.

This is a dark time living in the USA and believing in democracy. Ukraine the Latest helps me hold on for better times. I listened to how recently listeners had complained of the Trump clip in the intro and the hosts argued his voice was necessary as he is (like it or not) a major player today. Sadly, I had to agree, but found it brilliant when they changed his audio clip to one of his claims that the war would be over within 24 hours. It acknowledges he is a major player, but also that he is an ignorant fool. Well done !

Bring Us More Flat Red Coffee, Please!!!

What an incredible surprise! Coffee + Orange 🍊 + Pomegranate Thank you Ukraine: The Latest team!

A source of light in a quickly darkening world

Sustained moral compass, quality and truth to power. Francis’ interview with the Hungarian diplomat gave me a very good sense of the kind of mind frame required to be on Russia’s side and it is not a pretty one. Thank you for a respectful interview that allowed me to make up my own mind.

Informative Daily Listen

The Telegraph team provides all the major information about the war and diplomacy on a daily basis. Sharp, concise opinions that are very relatable and cut through the layers of diplospeak. If you support freedom and state sovereignty, this is the podcast for you!

Great Q&A session. More please, it’s not only informative, but responsive to your listeners. Thanks.

Indispensable Reporting and Analysis

As most media in the US has lost interest in Ukraine, often repeating misleading information, the Telegraph continues to provide vital reporting of both daily events and the strategic context, both military and political.

Best there is on the war

If you want to understand the situation in Ukraine, go here. That’s all.
Don from US

Amazing Podcast!

Love this podcast!! It’s so informative. It’s so rare to just find a resource for news that is accurate and truthful
AnotherReviewerGuy

Possibly the most important podcast in the world right now.

Just listen to one episode and see for yourself. This is the best and most engaging reporting you’ll find on the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, which may prove to be the defining conflict of this generation.

Absolutely Essential Truth

I started listening to Ukraine: The Latest many months ago when I was trying to ferret out the truth about what was really going on in Ukraine. There is so much fake information swirling around but when I landed on this podcast I could immediately tell it was serious and ethical and true even when it was telling about failures and losses but it also gave me hope that the Ukraine people will be supported in their valiant fight for freedom. The world needs for Ukraine to win and this podcast helps us all know the ground truth. Please keep up the great work!

Extensive coverage

This podcast is so good. I learn so much every time I listen. I'm a teacher in California and I am particularly interested in learning about the over 10,000 children who were abducted from their families in Ukraine. Please cover this as much as you can! I wish there could be a segment on the podcast just like how Dom goes over the military news in the beginning, and then Francis goes over the political news. It would be nice if someone could go over the abducted children news every day. Nobody is talking about it here in the United States. Is there any way we can support organizations or charities that are making a concerted effort to find the children and return them to their families?

Daily listener

After the disastrous Oval Office meeting in February 2025, I realized I had been completely negligent in keeping up on the events of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I have really latched onto this show and eagerly await each episode release. Lots of detail, great commentary. I hope others in the US have also woken up and want to stay informed and support Ukraine’s independence. Thank you for the level of effort and production with each episode!

This is the broadcast that helps me understand what’s happening in Ukraine most clearly. It’s detailed and full of compassion for the Ukrainian people. It also gives an honest take on the nations of the world in regard to their positions on the war.

Trump

Great podcast, I have listened daily since the beginning, but come on, we get it, you don’t like Trump. The attitude towards Americans and Trump is beginning to take away from the quality of the show. That kind of stuff is what “created” Trump in the first place and led to America wanting to say “oh yeah well screw you” to the rest of the world.

Very professional, yet addicting- or is it the other way around? An amazing piece of work each week.

Essential

This is my go-to podcast on Ukraine on a daily basis during the week. It is thorough, detailed, and up-to-date. Highly recommended.

Excellent Info

If only more Americans would listen to the information provided in this podcast then we could be better prepared to fend off the Russian disinformation infecting our citizens

The foremost authority

Ukraine the latest along with war on the rocks have the best coverage in the news business. I never miss an episode gents.

Get Back to Balanced

I gave this podcast high marks in your recent survey. Lately though, comments from the podcast team and guests like Terry Virts are one-sided. Get back to balanced coverage and INFORMED opinions.
KamiCujo

U.S. Faithful listener

Thank you for your reporting! Everything our president is doing is harming the entire world. Even the United States national security is at risk. I don’t understand how people could vote for him on a moral level. I’m very sorry for everything that has been happening to the people who have needed our help. Billionaires are literally ripping the spoons out of the mouths of starving children throughout the world. Thank you Eliot for your honesty about this disgraceful administration.
Sad-faced

The best by far

I’m a longtime listener. I’ve been here since the beginning. When the war started I listened to many podcasts the topic but since all others have fallen by the wayside. This is by far the most informative and important source of news about this war. The hosts are lovely and I feel a bit of a parasocial attachment to them, haha. Really I can’t say enough positive things about this podcast. I thank the whole team from the bottom of my heart
Hales0106

Great podcast. Deepest apologies, Ukraine

This great podcast keeps me informed & up-to-date on the facts (tempted to say real facts bc of all the misinformation that Americans hoover up w/o a question) & realities in Ukraine. What honorable, strong people! From this American (the old meaning, not the new), you’ll always have my ardent support & deepest apologies (I’m so ashamed) for the many insults & assaults that this Toddler man & his minions throw your way. The majority of us are not on Trumps side. Keep fighting! Go, Europe, go! Go now!

Ashamed to be American

Thank goodness for this important show. Having just witnessed Trump’s temper tantrum with Zelenskyy I’m ashamed to be American.

I live in San Francisco, California, I am 14 and am ashamed by the way our president is acting. I hope that my country’s actings haven’t shattered our allies’ trust for us. Thank you for making this podcast, Slava Ukraine.

One sided… woke

Used to listen every day back in 2022 and 2023. Learned the show hosts and producers expecting Uncle Sucker to bail out Ukraine and Europe. Those days are over. Start paying your share then we’ll chat.

Essential Listening

Ukraine: The Latest provides the best information for keeping up to date with everything in Ukraine. I listen everyday and cannot recommend the podcast highly enough. The dedication of the team to reporting all the news from Ukraine over these last few years is astounding. In particular the effort put into getting such a wide range of guests onto the show gives listeners an appreciation of how the war has impacted all aspects of life in Ukraine

Grateful

I am so grateful to this podcast’s creators and contributors for their impeccable journalism, humanity, and devotion to informing the world about Russian imperialism and Ukrainians’ resistance. I listen regularly from the United States and do so both with increasing shame and an awareness that I may not have access to free journalism like this for much longer. Thank you for all that you do.

Becoming dissatisfied

I’ve been listening since the beginning of the war and have appreciated the coverage. Lately the broadcast has become very anti-Trump even when the facts of the subject at hand are still unknown. Glad to see criticism based on facts but not prejudice.
Todd Chambery

Extraordinary

Serious journalism about an awful situation, presented with a light touch and genuine concern for the civilians, soldiers, and institutions affected.

Listening from the US

I’m listening from Texas in the US and really appreciate the news you provide. We don’t have enough coverage of Ukraine here.
Morgs767

Accurate, Informative, Timely

Spectacular & the only podcast I listen to daily since its inception. Highly recommend AT A MINIMUM you listen to the military & political updates to stay informed. Of course entire podcast episodes are more informative and fascinating. Great job all; didn’t realize I hadn’t left a review!
JamesHafizWilder

Still the absolute gold standard.

I’ve been listening to this podcast regularly for 3 years. David, Francis, Dom, Hamish, Joe et al are like family to me now, as I’ve spent more time with them than my actual relatives. I’m still devastated by the loss of David but his creation remains in really good hands. The news reportage is the best there is. The in-depth stories and interviews are so much better than anything else that other outlets provide. These people CARE about Ukraine, truth, justice and democracy, and they pursue it with a zeal that is genuine, human, highly intelligent and educated. Slava Ukraini! Thank you.

Exceptionally smart, sincere, empathetic & comprehensive

Exceptionally smart, sincere, empathetic & comprehensive narrative of current conditions on the Ukraine home front and frontline. Very much appreciated here in the United States for people who care greatly for Ukraine and our friends in all of Europe - the free world depends upon journalism of this caliber

Required learning

There is no better source for the most up-to-date and rich content that both informs and entertains. Thank you for ensuring truth and transparency for the world!

Slava Ukraine

This is a daily listen for me as I am an avid supporter of Ukraine in their defense of the illegal invasion of their country by the terrorist state of Russia. The broadcast is exceptional, with outstanding staff and guests, and the information is up to date and reliable. I highly recommend. Kentucky, USA
Vesta Mae

I depend on this podcast

I’m on several social media sites, but this is where I come to cut through the propaganda. Your team is doing a fantastic job of keeping the world informed on events in Ukraine and related events. David Knowles is looking down feeling very proud right now. 😭😭😭

I am quite Grateful for this show. ♥️Ukraine is my inspiration!

Engaging journalism; essential news

I have been listening to Ukraine: The Latest since learning of the death of David Knowles. I now listen everyday from Boston USA. I learn so much from Dom and Francis and their guests. Their delivery is rapid fire and detailed while also being engaging and fascinating. I value their expert commentary and opinions in addition to the straight tell-it-like-is facts. I do regret not knowing about this podcast from the outset of the invasion but am grateful now. Wishing Ukraine and all Ukrainians strength to persevere.

Hey kids, this is what real news looks like

This is currently my favorite podcast. With so much hype, opinion, and downright self-serving or partisan deception passing as news these days, this podcast is a breath of fresh air. While I hate that this conflict exists, I appreciate these daily updates giving me not only news and analysis of the day’s events, but insight into the larger geo political ramifications that are shaping the world beyond Ukraine. This reminds me of the evening news reports of the Vietnam war and other major events back when there were only three network channels and news anchors we trusted. I thought fact-based reporting and source validation were dead. Nice to know some people still know how to do it and respect the craft. Keep up the tremendous work.
davidhantman

Must listen! Why isn’t any other outlet this good?

Incredible reporting, compelling story telling and the smartest guest I’ve heard anywhere. It is like attending an Oxford lecture but never boring

RIP

Rest in peace, David. May your caring heart continue to inspire others to “do the right thing.” So glad we got to share a few hours together.
Dr Freshness

Essential daily listening

A great way to stay up to date on all the happenings around the “hideous and barbaric” Russian invasion of Ukraine, from first-rate journalists in a well-produced ‘cast. Not only do they update us on the frontline details, but also the human and cultural impact. Must listen daily. Rest in Peace, David Knowles.
MichelleInSanRafael

Thank you, David.

From California, RIP, David Knowles. You made a difference. Your mates, Dom and Francis, are brilliant carriers of the torch you lit. Thank you all. Slava Ukraini.
