Blood, bandages and lost friends: Life as a Ukrainian front line medic I Ukraine: The Latest 

Yuriy, Brandon and Iryna humble us with their courage and valor. Over 2 years on and I still tune in every day.

Thank you for having us on the show David! Look forward to working with you again!!

Nice to hear Brandon on here! Unusual to hear him not swearing like a trooper - clearly on best behaviour for the Telegraph. Slava Ukraini!

Brandon Mitchell! Been following him for at least a year and a half.

Brandon Mitchell is epic in every way! I have been following and supporting Brandon since the summer of 2022! His footage is some of the most vivid, raw, and real footage available from the front lines! Brandon's enormous work for Ukraine, his tremendous bravery, his immense dedication, and unrelenting perseverance are beyond words. After Ukraine wins this war, Brandon and his legendary work will be written about in the history books!🙏💙💛

Brandon Mitchell ❤ ! Following him from the beginning and suporting him always ❤🇷🇴🇺🇦

Brandon and team! Go Hospitalers!!!

We stand united with Ukraine always 🇺🇦🇬🇧🫡

Great show. Listening from Orlando, Florida.

Brandon, thank you for taking the time to do the interview and thanks to The Telegraph for having Brandon Mitchell, Yuri and Iryna on as guests. I really appreciate hearing from people who have first hand experience in Ukraine.

Interesting and very informative conversation 👍 👏 👌

very brave people I hope they survive best of luck

I listened to this walking into town. Bad idea. I'm fighting back tears

Thank you to all the volunteers (and of course the brave Ukranians) from the bottom of my heart, you have my deepest respect and admiration! Thanks to Ukraine the Latest, I miss no pods!

Thanks, Telegraph. Beltsville, MD.

Thank you all for the great help by letting the world know the bitter truth of what is happening to the brave people and volunteers in Ukraine SLAVA Ukrayini 🇺🇦 Heróyam Slava 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇦🇺🇦🦘❤❤❤

Heroes, all. Thank you for letting them tell us their story.

Thanks for the excellent podcast

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with The Washington Post published on Friday that his country's forces would have to begin to retreat in its war against Russia unless the United States provides Kiev with more weapons and other military aid. "If there is no US support, it means that we have no air defense, no Patriot missiles, no jammers for electronic warfare, no 155-milimeter artillery rounds," Zelensky claimed. "It means we will go back, retreat, step by step, in small steps," he added. The Ukrainian president insisted his country's troops are "trying to find some way not to retreat" and that the military's "smart steps" after Russia's takeover of Avdiivka helped stabilize the situation for the time being. Still he insisted Ukraine must take steps to launch a counteroffensive because if it doesn't, "Russia will do it."

It is so hard to believe that one evil man is responsible for so much pain and suffering. As a Vietnam Veteran, I foolishly thought we as humans would be past this kind of barbarism by now.

Thank you for your perspective from Ottawa Canada

A fascinating podcast for sure.

Awesome 👏❤️🇬🇧🙏🇺🇦

We could dig deeper

Great content

They are all heroes who are offering their lives to help Ukraine win. I have been following Brandon since he was helping the villagers to fleed Avdivka and in Bakhmut.

Russia’s aerospace forces struck a base of terrorists from the al-Tanf area in Syria, Yury Popov, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria (a division of the Russian defense ministry), said on Friday. "The Russian aerospace forces destroyed a place of the deployment of militants who left the al-Tanf area and were hiding in hard-to-reach areas of the Jebel al-Satih ridge in the Homs governorate," he said. He also said that seven violations of the deconfliction protocols of December 9, 2019 linked with the flights by the US-led coalition unmanned aerial vehicles were reported in Syria in the past 24 hours. Apart from that, in his words, during the day, three shelling attacks on the positions of government forces were reported in the Idlid de-escalation zone from positions of the Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamic Party of Turkestan (both outlawed in Russia). One Syrian soldier was killed as a result of sniper fire by terrorists inn the Latakia governorate, and another one was wounded after a terrorists’ drone dropped an explosive device on government army positions in the Idlib governorate.

In Vietnam American soldiers were trained to “Stop the Bleeding Start the Breathing Cover the Wound and Prepare for Shock!”

Brandon is beginning to speak English with a Ukrainian accent. He's been in country for a very long time.

Brandon with Hospitallers is like Jack Black w/ Tenacious D 🫡

Get them tyres trucks aid ..pl pin the group's details

Man... what a scary thing to hear... it pisses me off how ppl in the safe West sometimes scream that Ukraine is corrupt, when the people are using their own money to help the military. I will keep donating what I can to the Ukrainian army, and I hope any decent person will do the same.

When I was much younger, before Prof. Snyder was even born, I though Poland was the most unlucky country in Europe, with Russians moving in and pushed out. I've watched, from the US, the Russian brutality durning the Cold War. But Ukraine was never on my radar until 2014, i never heard the word Holodamor. Simce 2020 I've been playing catch up. And I believe the Russian invavion is an existential threat to Ukraine as a country and to Ukrainians. It morally wrong and globally important. For all the stupid wars the US has fought during my lifetime, this is the one that really counts. I think Biden's legacy will be one of failure, just like LBJ, if we don't supply the necessary equipment immediately. The results will be catastrophic for Europe and democracy.

I like this "full-scale invasion" term, being repeated regularly. Maybe we'll see it soon...

Pity this could have ended in April 2022.

I would have had more respect for these people if they had worked to treat wounded civilians in East Ukraine between 2014 and 2022 as they were being bombed by Ukrainian regime aircraft and shelled by artillery. Local militia drawn from the civilian population who tried to resist also suffered major injury and death and were not able to get aid from Western charities.

The political system in UK is rotten 😂😂😂😂😂

Female voices with Eastern European voices are difficult for me and my friends in California to understand when the individual speaks quickly. I don’t have a problem understanding British accents, but interesting, my girlfriend, and her friends, do. Considering the universal appeal of this program, some listeners may appreciate a somewhat slower rate of speech. All members of this podcast appear to be sensitive to this issue. Perhaps you should consider giving guests on the podcast a little heads up.

This war is brutal and horrific. Ive seen too many get blown up and get grenades dropped on them from above. Limbs blown off and left to bleed out in a field. What other animals on the planet do this to each other? This planet is so messed up. Pretty much looks like WW1 but with way better and more accurate weapons. Trench warfare is so crazy. Ukraine should defend their lands but both sides are getting hit by 1-2 million shells per year? Russia has always been imperialists so this should have been foreseeable.

🇷🇺 Z 💪 V 🇷🇺 💪

Those guests are legitimate military targets in the SMO. 😂😂😂

Russia "2nd most powerfull army in the world"😂😂😂

KiloMikeRomeo, KiloTangoAlfa

We need strong leaders in the free world ,unfortunately they are mostly gone. We have lots of dithering weak leaders which is obvious since this invasion . Russia is laughing at us ,that’s why they say nukes every five seconds…… what is achieved by delaying everything ???

What ever happened to the idea of giving Ukraine a loan backed up by the deposits in Western banks, payments made by Russia at the end of the war? Thanks. Glory to Ukraine. God Bless Ukraine and her people. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Many of the above comments confirm how insidious Russian propaganda is.

Coping Festival 😅

keeps the military buffoons in a job. A few at the top telling the many at the bottom what to do and when to do it.

I dont want to ruin a party. Good bye

Are we begging for sympathy now ?

There cant be any true ukranians left in ukraine .didnt they all leave the country early on? its all nato ..

That's rich, considering that Russian medics are constantly targeted by Ukrainian forces.
