The Telegraph’s Ukraine coverage has been consistently excellent. Amazing work

Vietnamese people have a saying that "war can last 5 years 10 years or even 20 years, but independence and freedom are priceless", each citizen is determined to sacrifice everything for the future country. God bless Ukraine!!!

Brilliant and incisive dialogue. Being of Ukrainian heritage I found your description of Ukraine's progressive army and social structures very very moving. I am so proud of being Ukrainian.❤

The best and deepest format on the ukraine war

Dom, your continued commentary on Ukraine is very much appreciated 👏🏻

Brilliant Dominic, I’m an Aussie vet and I appreciate your insight and common sense. I’ve been following this shambolic war from the start and the paper tiger that is the Russian military. Thanks again mate. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 👍

Im from Ukraine, and I want to say Thank everybody, who support my country!

So British, so clearheaded, so incisive. Keep up the work!! From a North American.

Well presented Dom. I look forward to these enlightening segments as well as the latest. Slava Ukraine from the U.S

This guy is so well spoken. Great analysis as usual. Also, props to the video editors!

Brilliant coverage and analysis as always from the Telegraph 👍🇬🇧🇺🇦

Nicely written, compact presentation of a well-argued, coherent thesis. Exceptional journalism, IMHO

Orc trolls out in force..y'all spend your 5 rubbles wisely

This is one the best podcasts about the war. Every single one of them is outstanding. Well done!

To borrow a phrase which was used about two countries in Western Europe , names changed . Russia never remembers , Ukraine will never forget . SLAVA UKRAINI . Great presentation .

That's why Ukraine will never give up! Ukraine is ONE people ONE belife ONE victory!

Everyone in the World wants to know, "What's Ukraine's strategy?" Ukraine's strategy is to keep everyone in the WORLD asking "What's Ukraine's strategy???" And it's working brilliantly 💙💛

Awesome summary. I have really admired how Zelensky and Ukraine has conducted their war effort and their information war. They show strength, and unity but also have a wicked sense of humor!

Great video Dom, thankyou. War, war never changes. I remember last February when this all kicked off, I said to my wife Russia is poking a Lion, the Ukrainians' will not be subdued easily. I served with the Royal Artillery and as such I swelled with pride when my nation stood up to the line to aid these brave, brave warriors with N-Laws, Challenger 11 MBT's, Storm Shadow cruise missiles, training, etc. etc and hopefully more to come. Ukraine WILL kick those terrorist bullies back to where they came from including the Crimean peninsula; they will become a member of the European Union; they will prevail at becoming a NATO member. Because we need them. Slava Ukraini.

Excellent as usual!

I really REALLY like these videos

The Ukrainian resistance is a model of courage. It’s a reminder of why bravery, duty and a willingness to defend your nation are utterly indispensable. Too many of us in the West have grown cynical about these virtues. We in the West have given up on courage. Our safety-first approach to life equates bravery with recklessness. The Ukrainian resistance reminds us why courage matters - and why we all need to rediscover this virtue. 😉

f me. What a symphony of words! Love it!

Slava Ukraini

I live for these defense in depth segments. Such good writing and editing. Riveting stuff; keep it coming, Telegraph!

Best episode yet, brilliant. Ukraine's understanding of media and how to play it is second to none.

From the US, the Telegraph is breath of fresh air on how news is communicated. Let the haters hate but US news has alienated many by so being decisive in everything they cover. I don’t need to be told what to be mad at, that’s my wife’s job😢

every one of these episodes are definitely worth waiting for. Excellent

Excellent piece. I believe there are lessons to learn from the conflict and from your presentation both for many nations / societies

This guy knows his stuff and presents it extremely well. This is something very rare, media for grown-ups.

I can listen to this analysis for hours. The video editor did a great job. Well done!

What a excellent analysis of the difference between a coherent and united nation like Ukraine and then the autocratic, fear driven Russia.

Dominic Nicholls is a natural born speaker. I'm really impressed. In conjuntion with a neatly written script it makes 'Defense in Depth' series one of the best of its kind.

Master-class. This clip is all that's needed to understand Why Ukraine will prevail in the end.

Dom Nicholls should be making documentaries. He’s the best.

People tend to forget that the Kherson counteroffensive last year took a long time to succeed. It began, in fact, a month before the lightning fast Kharkiv offensive. The Ukrainians started off by proclaiming that the Kherson offensive was going to be a major thrust. They loudly promoted it for several months but all that the world could see were some very minor skirmishes here and there. The major story seemed to be that Russia's airborne troops were successfully holding their ground against determined Ukrainian attacks. Even the Russians bought into this idea and reenforced their troops in Kherson by transferring soldiers from the Kharkiv front, which was the main Ukrainian goal all along. When the Ukrainians judged that the Russians had weakened their Kharkiv front significantly, that was when they launched their offensive in the Kharkiv region, not in the Kherson region. The startled, weakened Russian units, unprepared for a defensive struggle, collapsed. Then, when the Ukrainians had reached the limit of their offensive ability in Kharkiv and the Russians had retreated to strong defensive positions, the Ukrainians launched their long-proclaimed Kherson offensive. During the unsuccessful, early phase, of the Kherson offensive, the Ukrainians had destroyed all the main Russian logistics bases in Kherson oblast, and then they destroyed all the main supply and escape routes, such as bridges and railroads; now the Russians realized that they would have to fight like the devil just to evacuate their remaining troops. In the end, the Ukrainians did not even have to attack. The Russians totally evacuated the right bank of the Dniper River, including Kherson City, which was the Ukrainians main goal. The Ukrainians are employing a similar tactic now. By making small, focused, attacks in specific areas across the whole front, the Ukrainians are again stretching Russian forces and distracting Russian attention from the place where they intend to attack. Right now the Ukrainians are again destroying Russian logistics, supply and escape routes and forcing Russians to defend places they really don't want or need. Before, it was Russian elite airborne formations that were ground down fighting in unimportant areas of Kherson away from the key locations; now, it is the Wagner Army that has been ground down fighting for the unimportant town of Bahkmut. They have been so weakened that they had to be removed from combat. Pregozhin's abortive mutiny cannot have helped the Russian military maintain its focus against the Ukrainian army. None of this is to say that the upcoming Ukrainian main-blow against the Russians will be as successful as their earlier efforts. However, it has not been going too slow, or too weak, or too costly. We won't be able to make a judgment until the Ukrainians do strike their main blow with the dozen or so brigades heretofore held in reserve, that were created with Western weapons and training. That main blow cannot be too long delayed but it is too early to say that it has already failed.

WELL DONE LADS!!!

Ugh the images of desperate Afghans clinging to that plane in a feeble attempt to save themselves, is hard to see. What a disaster Afghanistan was and the pull out even worse. But Ukraine is not Afghanistan and Zelenskyy is not Ashraf Ghani. However the suffering of the Afghan men and women who now live under Taliban rule, who trusted in their future and risked their lives to help western troops, must not be forgotten or abandoned. This shame must not be repeated in Ukraine. We must follow through and see it to the end in an intelligent and ethically based manner.

Great work Dominic. I look forward to each episode. I do wish it was bi-weekly or even daily. I think your point of pulling back to look at the bigger, macro scene of events in total is just as important as the actions of a few locals or troops doing the daily work.

Brilliant, Dom. Now please do a 30 second stare down of the camera for us followed by an almost imperceptible smirk.

Thanks, Dom. Very convincing piece performed with passion!

A very good analysis👍

Fantastically well made and delivered, well done Dom 🇺🇦🇺🇦

Aaaah Monsieur est de retour. Merci beaucoup. J'avoue que tes reportages et analyses commencaient à me manquer.

This is absolutely FANTASTIC. Very much helps me understand the situation better.

Damn, this is a top video. Almost shed a tear. Forgetting the deeper picture sometimes.

Did he just quote Chinua Achebe? Wow. So well read. Bravo. Great stuff as always.

Nice to have u back Dom Ah....those lines....things fall apart,the centre can not hold

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face

Brilliant. This one hit hard.

Wonderfully written, thoughtfully presented and emotional. I look forward to your book.

The best yet Dom. Thanks for the clarity.

Great piece of work

Thanks for the excellent analysis. Keep it up!

Kudos, superbly crafted and delivered

Zelenskyy will go down in history as one of the worlds greatest leaders.

A silent smirk is terrifying? To what sort of man?

Well done. As an American veteran from the Vietnam War, I found this podcast on the mark.

Yes, I agree. Ukraine been amazing on all fronts

That was an excellent surmise of morale. Well done Dom and team!

Very interesting Dom, thanks for this short but in dept analysis. I keep listening Ukrain The Latest every day. Slava Ukraini from Québec! 🇺🇦

A really great prospective, rarely discussed. Thanks

Thanks mr. Nicholls, this was even more fascinating than your already compelling DiD updates.

Excellently written and put together 🎩

Brilliant Dom!!! really good! Probably your best yet. Sort of a subcutaneous view of Ukraine and Russia. Really dug under the skin with this analysis. Watching daily from where I do in Sydney it feels like it's only a matter of time before Putin's house of cards falls because it feels like it's very fragile right now. And bravo to the editors. They nailed it too.

Cracking analysis and insights as ever - thanks.

Belonging cues. That's what makes good people and a good team. "We cooperate. We are equal. We have each other's back. We give each other benefit of the doubt. We make each other laugh." Hugs, greetings, fist bumps, jokes, constructive criticism, fun feedback. I translated a brilliant book on this. It's called "The Culture Code" by Daniel Coyle. I started translating it when the war started and it was incredible to watch Ukrainians do EXACTLY what the book said. It was as if they were following it, step by step! When I wrote Daniel Coyle about this, he seemed surprised. So happy to basically have my observation confirmed a year later!

Not only galvanised a nation, but many around the world, and so NAFO was born 😎💪 One for all, and all for one! 🌐🇺🇦💛💙 NAFO being the 2nd best army in the world, after Ukraine 🦝😉

Appreciate that all the coverage from The Telegraph is excellent and extremely thoughtful and informative .

The best video of this series. Well done.

The moral component... Very important.

Not a Telegraph fan - but this guy is amazing. Subscribed.

Молчащий Буданов наводит ужас ,в следующем фильме про Монстров надо обязательно пригласить Буданова ,где он будет эпически молчать😳

Clear, compelling, accurate and concise. Superb!

Brilliant Dom, keep up the great work.

I still have my "United We Stand" bumper sticker from when we invaded Iraq.

Spot on- Unity is a powerful force! In unity our strength. Glory to Ukraine and it's heroes! Salute to the civilised world for supporting Ukrainians in this battle for sovereignty.

For the first 3 minutes or so, it seemed like Nicholls was explaining Von Clausewitz 👍

Дякуємо за розуміння, підтримку та допомогу ❤🇺🇦❤️🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧❤️. Дякуємо що використали цей символ 🌻 "сонях". Сонях символ 🌻того що в 2014 році почалась боротьба проти російських терористів окупантів, і що прості люди, добровольці, волонтери, військові гинули в полях з соняхом та вели опір проти російських терористів окупантів. Слава Україні ❤️🇺🇦 Героям Слава ❤️🇺🇦

The sad thing is your average person certainly in Europe supports and wants to see it through to the end standing side by side with Ukraine. Yet we all wonder if our governments see this is the same light. Ukraine should never fear loss of support but many Governments in the West are less than equivocal in this direction. Further proof that Governments are not for the people but for a select few that truly benefit. Stand by Ukraine. Lets see this through until Russia is defeated.

Excellent. Instant subscribe!

Excellent, great analysis!

A great analysis 🙂

Very intelligent reporting

thanks mate good work as usual liked and subscribed

That was very good, thanks

Kudos for whoever edited this like a narrated video clip 🙌🏻 Meaning, rhythm, content, impact - orchestrated masterfully!

I could watch Dom talk about defence, strategy and tactics all day. A longer-form video (with the Telegraphs great editing) would be wonderful

I enjoy and look forward to this commentary. Well done and well spoken.

Really appreciate the vids!

The greatest words spoken in my lifetime: "The fight is here. I need ammunition, not a ride." -- V.Z.

Well said, very nice summation of the underlying strengths of Ukraine vs the crumbling heart of Putin's regime.

Wow. This was an absolutely brilliantly produced video post here. It feels like it hit the nail right on the head.👏🏻

Ukraine is Europe. Slava 🇺🇦 ❤

Great commentary in this video… excellent examples of Ukraine’s success in the battle for hearts and minds across the globe are evident in the UN last year when 190 countries condemned Russia’s illegal invasion, and representatives said Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the Heroes in Ukrainian, the mobilization of international support for Ukraine among countries and at the grassroots level among everyday people. While not all countries support Ukraine, the extent of the support that they got and continue to get is breathtaking…

Thanks for posting 👍 brilliant

As watchable as always....thanks Dom :-)

"Great Britain" has become the greatest euphimism on earth, it's actually comedic, I sometimes come to such chanells for some much needed laughs. The pompocity with with rubbish is uttered is just gold!

Terrify? The russians seem to be happy with their defenses so far lol

Awesome report. Thanks a lot!
