When you do a selfie with an intellectual giant - Stephen Fry & Vitaly Shevchenko - coming soon on BBC #Ukrainecast - a journey to #Ukraine #mentalhealth

Stephen Fry is a man with a big heart who's done so much to raise awareness of mental health - in Ukraine too. Make sure you listen to this edition of #Ukrainecast, especially if you're going through a hard time or know someone who is -with lyse doucet bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

#OnThisDay 1939: The BBC Monitoring Service began, with several hundred 'monitors' gathering and interpreting international news as rapidly as possible. These images were taken in 1945 at its base in Caversham Park, where it operated from between 1943 and 2018.

I felt this was a very important article to write: despite the Russian missiles, drones and looting, Ukrainian culture flourishes:

We cannot allow Russian bombers to be better protected than Ukrainian civilians are. Let's ask ourselves if we are being honest about how much we actually support Ukraine.

Today Ukrainians mark the 10th anniversary of the Battle of Ilovaisk, where the regular Russian army first invaded the Donbas, rescuing a faltering Russian-backed insurgency and forcing the Minsk agreement on Kyiv. My deep dive into that crucial battle: newsweek.com/2014/11/14/bat…

“Keeping tabs on Russian sub movements in the north Atlantic is a multi-player game... Our own SSNs are major, important players in this game: and they are absent. The Royal Navy is, quite bluntly, not performing its assigned tasks.” telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/3…

One of the worst Russian attacks against Ukraine - what we know so far. Listen to the latest edition of #Ukrainecast with Victoria Derbyshire and me: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

“It’s a scene of massive devastation” Ukraine says up to 51 people have been killed in a Russian missile attack on Poltava, according to latest reports Listen to Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko on the latest #Ukrainecast bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

A man in Lviv is getting stitched up while the bodies of his family members are being taken out from the rubble. This might be one of the hardest videos I’ve watched.

Rescuers in Lviv have recovered the body of a 9-year-old girl from beneath the rubble. The world needs to witness this tragedy. #LetUkraineStrikeBack

After today’s 🇷🇺 attack, the only person in this photo who survived is the man. Mother Yevheniya and her three daughters — Yaryna, Daryna, and Emiliya — were killed. Standing in the back is Yaryna Bazylevych. She was 21 y.o. Yaryna worked in our office for “Youth Capital 2025”

Yesterday it was Poltava. Today it is Lviv. Russia bombs Ukraine’s historical and cultural centers deep in the rear. Washington worries about Putin’s red lines. Does it have any of its own?

Evidence from DOJ’s case on Russian propaganda efforts:

In 2022, I had an off-the-record meeting with NATO officials in Brussels. They were eager to learn more about the nature of the Ukrainian volunteer movement, and I was very interested in why Western aid was so slow and had to go through the millstones of total bureaucracy. At

I've often highlighted Margarita Simonyan stupidly boasting about RT's covert projects targeting Americans, like the ones for which RT's employees were just indicted. Loose lips sink ships, Rita. Keep talking. x.com/JuliaDavisNews…

Yesterday I spoke to Sasha, an aid worker who’s apartment building was blasted in Russia’s devastating attack on Lviv “I pray this horror will stop…I don’t want to be a hero. We would just like to live as normal human beings…” Listen to the interview below ⬇️ 🇺🇦
