The move to video, hosted on Youtube, marks a new chapter for the foreign affairs podcast, which The Telegraph says has built a loyal audience since launching in 2022.
Telegraph journalists and podcast co-hosts Dominic Nicholls and Francis Dearnley have reported on the ongoing effects of the war, every weekday since February 24, 2022, with the team regularly sending dispatches from Ukraine and across Europe to the studio in London.
Over the years, the team has interviewed many of the key players in the war – including President Zelensky and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The publisher says downloaded over 138 million times, over 70 per cent of its audience is abroad, with an especially large audience in the United States. Ukraine: The Latest has earned numerous accolades, including Podcast of the Year at the 2025 London Press Club Awards, and News Podcast of the Year at the 2025 Press Awards.
Francis Dearnley, co-host and executive editor of Ukraine: The Latest, said: “Elsewhere coverage of the war is waning, but we’re ramping it up.
“The opportunity to be able to supplement our reporting with maps, battlefield footage, and more on-the-ground reporting felt like the natural next step. We hope our listeners around the world will agree.”
