  • Exclusive interview: Ukraine’s drone chief Robert ‘Magyar’ Brovdi – ‘We will turn Putin’s soldiers into stewed meat’

    Exclusive interview: Ukraine’s drone chief Robert ‘Magyar’ Brovdi – ‘We will turn Putin’s soldiers into stewed meat’
    Sep 28 2026

    Day 1,674.

    Today, as Russia’s manufactured humanitarian catastrophe in the occupied town of Oleshky attracts global attention, amid reports civilians are now resorting to eating grass and weeds, the Council of Europe shows the United Nations how to respond. Victor Orban’s year gets even worse, and look who’s back! Mykhailo Fedorov launches his Army of Robots. Later, we have an exclusive interview with the head of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and pioneer of modern warfare: Robert Brovdi, callsign ‘Magyar’, during which he says he’s supremely relaxed about the prospect of another possible Russian mobilisation, saying, "we are ready to welcome these limitless portions of stewed meat”.

  • Huge mushroom cloud after Ukraine strikes oil refinery 1500km inside Russia

    Huge mushroom cloud after Ukraine strikes oil refinery 1500km inside Russia
    Sep 25 2026

    Day 1,671.

    Today, as the UN General Assembly in New York winds down, secretary-general Antonio Guterres was all smiles and handshakes for Russia’s foreign minister. Ukraine lets Donald Trump know quite how seriously they take his warnings these days by attacking at least two more oil refineries inside Russia. Meanwhile, the Kremlin shows how seriously it is pursuing peace by dropping high explosive on a medical centre, farm workers and a 14 year old boy. And Britain quietly announces it is cutting the money used to support Ukrainian families that have fled the bloodshed. And later, a dispatch from Francis’s recent trip to Germany where he toured the Ukraine Museum in Berlin.

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.

Comprehensive Overview of the war Ukraine 🇺🇦

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.
