As war continues in Ukraine, where is the conflict at? Has Russia's increased focus on the Donbas allowed them to make some gains? How strong is the Ukrainian resistance? And why has President Zelenskyy fired his top spy chief and head prosecutor? 
Fresh from a trip to Ukraine, Jack Watling, a senior research fellow in land warfare at RUSI, joins Arthur Snell for our latest war update. 
We're putting out irregular war bulletins covering different aspects of the Ukraine crisis. You can support our work on the crowdfunding app Patreon: doomsdaywatch.co.uk.

 ”On the one hand you have people trying to return to their everyday lives, on the other you hear air raid sirens everyday.”


 “The situation in the Donbas is very difficult for the Ukrainians.”

 “The Ukrainians are trying to put as much grit in the gears of the Russian war machine as they can.”

 “Many senior Ukrainian intelligence officers trained in Russian academies.”
