ABOUT THIS Episode

Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, The Telegraph's journalists created a podcast, Ukraine: The Latest, to provide daily analysis on the conflict from a variety of angles. Since then, it has become one of the leading sources for coverage on the war. On this episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia speak with Francis Dearnley, assistant comment editor at The Telegraph and a voice on Ukraine: The Latest, to learn about the United Kingdom's perspective on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the evolution of the podcast over the last year and a half. What have been some of the most shocking revelations since covering the war? Why has the UK been "bolder and braver" than other European countries in its support for Ukraine? Is there any strain of isolationism in the UK? Dearnley also shares his theory on the "mental block" that has prevented people from actively engaging with horrific content from the war.
