I was very lucky firstly to meet @dim0kq and read his book, then to work with him on this video.
It's found a big audience on YouTube too: youtu.be/uw0HD-atEmg
🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
Dimko Zhluktenko is a Ukrainian soldier who, until recently, operated drones in the Donbas.
@dim0kq has shared exclusive footage showing what the high-risk role looks like in practice. From taking shelter in a van hidden by trees to running down into a bunker, he documents and narrates a day in the life of a drone operator.

Here is the full video version of our interview with Magyar: youtube.com/watch?v=xWRn_olt…
Brilliantly done by Edward Matthews, @jleather and Josh Bourne, with translation by @makohonatalia
“I have a question for Nato generals: are you absolutely sure you can handle this? No need to answer."
I interviewed Robert "Magyar" Brovdi, the commander of Ukraine’s unmanned systems forces, in an underground command post in eastern Ukraine.
We covered a huge range of topics, from possible mobilisation in Russia, to the “terrifying” pace of AI integration into warfare and a “loss of time” in Britain’s development of its own drone forces.
Huge thanks to @414magyarbirds

Syla, from the brilliant @PravdaBrewery that hosted @jleather and me last week in Lviv. Story coming soon.
Russia's UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzya left a diplomatic beer tasting early after seeing a Lviv craft beer label
The beer "Syla" features a red silhouette of the Kremlin, with its towers crumbling, above which flies the Ukrainian blue-and-yellow flag

Petro's message to Ukraine's resistance fighters: “Be brave and wait. We will be back.”
In occupied Mariupol, Ukraine’s resistance is built to survive arrests and disappearances.
Speaking to The Telegraph’s Dominic Nicholls, one coordinator explains how secrecy is their greatest weapon.
His message to those still living under occupation: “Be brave and wait. We will be back. Definitely.”

Fun & Fury: the driving forces behind Ukraine’s resistance movement in the occupied territories. Not what I was expecting! Exclusive film by @jleather and me. youtu.be/nLERq02oexs
In Petro's words: "About Mariupol - not a victim, but a warrior. About our Resistance. About the people with whom I work and fight together - the greatest honour for me. As candidly and personally as possible."
Inside occupied Mariupol, Ukraine’s underground resistance is fighting back in the shadows.
Speaking to The Telegraph’s Defence Editor @DomNicholls, one saboteur describes a covert war driven by “fury” and survival, from car bombings targeting Russian-installed officials to poisoned vodka at military gatherings.
