  •  “Ukraine is drifting closer to NATO in spirit, but it’s not getting the protection that NATO offers.”
  •  “The cost of failed Ukrainian counteroffensive probably outweighs the gains of a successful one.”
  •  “Russia and Ukraine are neighbouring countries, and they’ve got to find a way to co-exist going forward.”

  • DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by Arthur Snell, and produced by Robin Leeburn with Jacob Archbold. Theme tune and original music by Paul Hartnoll. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. DOOMSDAY WATCH is a Podmasters production
