Ukrainecast

What’s life like in Kursk, following Ukraine’s cross-border offensive?

We hear from Zhenya, a Kursk resident, who gives us a rare glimpse into life in the region since the Ukrainian incursion began.

And the defence expert Matthew Savill from the Royal United Services Institute is in the studio to answer your listener questions. What’s Kursk like? How long can Ukraine feasibly hold it? And is a Russian nuclear response on the cards?

Today’s episode is presented by Lucy Hockings and Vitaly Shevchenko.

The producers were Arsenii Sokolov, Cordelia Hemming, Elliot Ryder and Hatty Nash. The technical producer was Mike Regaard. The series producer is Tim Walklate. The senior news editor is Richard Fenton-Smith.
