    Ukraine knocks out 40% of Moscow's oil export capacity in single attack & first ever successful strike on Russian military ship in Baltic Sea
    Mar 26 2026
    Day 1,491.Today, as extraordinary Ukrainian strikes in the Baltic region reportedly knock out around 40 per cent of Russia’s crude oil export capacity in a single attack – and achieve the first known successful strike on a Russian military ship in the Baltic Sea, hundreds of kilometres from Ukraine – we assess the strategic impact on Russia’s war economy. We also take the temperature from high-level meetings in Germany and Finland, and examine reports that Moscow is supplying Iran with vital assistance in its confrontation with the United States and Israel.

  • Ukraine strikes Russia's Baltic ports after largest air assault of the war

    Ukraine strikes Russia's Baltic ports after largest air assault of the war
    Mar 25 2026

    Day 1,490.

    Today, as Ukraine suffers the largest wave of Russian attacks of the entire war – including a rare daytime aerial assault across much of the country – we examine the scale and impact of the bombardment. We also report on Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Russia’s Baltic ports, with some drones reportedly reaching Estonia and Latvia. Then we reveal behind-the-scenes details of talks in Florida between Ukrainian and American officials, as the first investment linked to the US-Ukraine minerals deal becomes public. And later, we explore the evolution of international law since the Nuremberg Trials and how it underpins the post–World War II security architecture, in conversation with a former director of Human Rights Watch.

This is a daily podcast on military and political views across the globe, which affects democracy in Ukraine and the rest of the world.

I’ve found this podcast very informative and the analysis brilliant. All data is verifiable and not like misinformation you see on the social media.

I have a better understanding of this war and the implications for Ukraine, the genocide committed by Putin to restore the former soviet countries.

I want to thank the telegraph on their reporting and excellent independent panel they interview.

Keep up the good work.

I am listening to a number of podcasts about the war in Ukraine, for personal reasons it is very important to me. I have discovered this podcast rather late in the piece, and I admit that this is due to my political bias; I am not a natural member of the readership of the Daily Telegraph. However, when focused on the Ukraine War, this collection of reporters provide outstanding reportage of events, and excellent analysis, without to much over speculation. I think this is the best of the day to day podcasts reporting on the situation on the ground, and the wider strategic and political detail. Thank you.
