    Moscow car bombing maims Ukrainian traitor as drones blast major Russian refinery
    Nov 13 2026
    Day 1,720Today, after striking Russia’s five largest oil refineries over the last two weeks, Ukraine expands to the top ten with a hit in Volgograd. And a second car bombing in two days in Russia, this time in Moscow. Meanwhile Ukraine’s biggest producer and exporter of sunflower oil suspends operations at all of its extraction plants following drone strikes. Then we finish unpacking the consequences of the reopening of talks in Abu Dhabi, and wonder with Dr Jade McGlynn if Europe is ever going to wake up. Finally, Dr Jade McGlynn gives us the latest from the occupied territories.Contributors:Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @Adeliepjz on X.Alex Nichol (Telegraph journalist)Jade McGlynn (Senior Research Fellow, King’s College London). @DrJadeMcGlynn on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Tom SteedSocial Producer: Natalia MakohonStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesSUPPORT US – JOIN OUR MEMBERS’ CLUBFor more from the team, join UTL+.

  • Musk 'helping to kill Ukrainians' by throttling Starshield

    Musk 'helping to kill Ukrainians' by throttling Starshield
    Nov 12 2026
    Day 1,719.Today, after the ‘peace talks’ in Abu Dhabi inevitably end without a breakthrough, with the head of Putin’s delegation saying, in the true spirit of a serious negotiator, that Russia will capture “every inch of land one way or another,” Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff try to keep up the pretence of diplomatic momentum by heading to Moscow. "We see some openings and opportunities," says Mr Kushner, although whether he was talking about peace or future business deals it’s hard to tell. President Zelensky accuses Elon Musk of slowing down Starshield again and “helping the Russians kill more Ukrainians.” And Russia loses two helicopters, a frigate, and a senior officer to another car bomb.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @Adeliepjz on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Tom SteedSocial Producer: Natalia Makohon [Freelance]Studio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesSUPPORT US – JOIN OUR MEMBERS’ CLUBFor more from the team, join UTL+.

    Day 1,718.

    Today, as the talks in Abu Dhabi wrap up after a second session that lasted just 2 hours, US negotiators Kushner and Witkoff take off to Moscow. Meanwhile Russia continues its deadly attacks on Ukraine, Kyiv residents face water cuts and power outages for over 15 hours, and two missiles enter the Moldovan airspace. We catch up with James Kilner for on the latest cucumber index and we hear what it’s like to be inside the negotiating room facing the Russian delegation.
