  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • Hello, it's 1315 days since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

  • And for much of this year, as you'll know, as one of our loyal listeners, in fact,

  • since President Trump's inauguration, we have focused intently on your behalf,

  • on efforts to get some sort of peace plan in place in Ukraine.

  • And let's be honest, after months and months and months of diplomacy,

  • starting with that awful row in the Oval Office between President Zelensky and President Trump,

  • and the Alaska summit between President Trump and President Putin,

  • there has been limited success when it comes to diplomacy.

  • So today, we want to bring you back to some of the people at the sharp end of this conflict,

  • those who are dealing with the brutal and shocking and immediate consequences of the war close up.

  • Today, we're going to speak to two surgeons,

  • a Ukrainian and a British medic who have been operating on the front line.

  • That's coming up on this episode of Ukrainecast.

  • Ukrainecast from BBC News.

  • This is a sovereign nation under unprovoked attack.

  • We are ready to finish this war as quick as possible.

  • Russia is not preparing for peace.

  • We are an enemy of NATO.

  • And we'll do whatever is necessary to ensure our security.
