Thanks to everyone who has talked to us, especially all the Ukrainians we've spoken to, and thanks to our listeners for sticking with us.
Until the invasion is over, we continue.
People are being very kind on this - important to say of course this is a team award, there are far too many to think but just to highlight

During the First World War the daily rations for French troops included almost a pint of wine and the often poor quality of that wine was one of the causes of the mutinies in 1917
*Deep breath* some personal/professional news.
Will be heading back to London next month to join the Telegraph as the Deputy Head of Social Media.
Now to change into my 'Moving Country During a Pandemic' costume🤡
Pretty sure March 2nd 2022 is when we first started publishing the Ukraine: The Latest podcast on the full -scale invasion. Thank you to everyone, in the Telegraph and outside who talks to us. We continue
First time I’ve been accused of sending a dog to sleep with my “boring” questions. I speak to Karin Kneissl, Austria’s former foreign minister, who once invited Vladimir Putin to her wedding and has now moved to Russia with her boxer Winston Churchill. Producer

I don’t usually write about French politics, but yesterday I had a cup of coffee on an empty stomach and so decided to channel my frustration in 700 words
We realised, while prepping notes for today, that this is our 200th podcast since the start of the full scale invasion.
Our thanks to everyone who talks to us and especially to our Ukrainian friends and listeners
Honoured that our Ukraine podcast is up for the British Journalism Awards alongside some excellent reporting.
Thanks to everyone in the newsroom, and outside, for your contributions

It’s our longest podcast, but every minute is gold. Thank you so much to
@oonuch
for your time taking us through Ukrainian society, politics and democracy. Much needed depth and detail - have already ordered the book!
Five jobs I’ve had:
1) Something I think people will look down on
2) Something quirky that reveals a side to me you didn’t know
3) A relatable first ‘proper’ job
4) The turning point for my career
5) The enviable position I am in today
Here it is, part one of ‘Sunny Days in Kramatorsk’ - thank you so much to
