  • Ukraine's Russia incursion: from those who have fought there

    As Ukrainian soldiers continue to fight inside Russia, the Times' Tom Ball talks us through what it's like for them from the border city of Sumy, where the incursion began. He has spoken to several servicemen and women who have been fighting in Russia, who have provided insight into the type of fighting they have seen, the injuries they have suffered, and the objectives they have been told to achieve.

  • Nord Stream pipeline accusations risk West-Ukraine relations

    Germany says it believes a Ukrainian citizen was behind the September 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, and has an arrest warrant for him. But could that be possible without the knowledge of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government? And if not what does that accusation mean for their relationship? Today's episode of the World in 10 unpacks those questions with the Times' Berlin correspondent, Oliver Moody, as a diplomatic row between two key allies threatens to derail on-the-ground efforts.

    Meanwhile the Ukrainian advance in Russia continues but how long can they defend their positions for?

  • Wars on the brink

    The situations in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine are both at serious risk of escalation. Iran has rejected western calls not to attack Israel, with a full-scale regional conflict now appearing likely, while Vladimir Putin has called Ukraine's incursion into Russia "evidence" that they are at war with the West.

    Today on the World in 10 Sir Richard Dalton, former British Ambassador to Iran, explains how diplomacy might yet pull Tehran back, while The Times' defence writer, George Grylls, analyses the delicate balance the West must strike in how far it supports Ukraine's actions.
