In this week's Battleground Ukraine Saul and Patrick discuss whether the outlook for Ukraine is a gloomy as it looks on the surface? The fall of Vuhledar some have said might lead to a significant Russian breakthrough but is that actually the case?

They also speak to Charlotte Leslie from the Grain from Ukraine initiative, which seeks to highlight and maintain the importance of Ukrainian grain shipments throughout the globe.
