In September 2023, the Ukraine: The Latest team took a trip to Washington DC for a live show at the British Embassy. While in the US, host David Knowles went to a Ukrainian festival at St. Andrew's Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in Silver Spring, Maryland.
The festival promised Ukrainian music, culture, dancing, singing...and even a Cossack beer garden! In this special episode of Ukraine: the Latest, David meets attendees, some of whom were 4th or even 5th generation American Ukrainians, and some who had arrived after fleeing the full-scale invasion.
Thank you to St Andrew's for welcoming us: https://www.standrewuoc.org/
Charities: We have spoken to many charities this year - from Vans Without Borders, to GP Now, to KHARPP - and we receive many messages from listeners asking for recommendations of charities they can support. We include a link to the Ukrainian Institute of London's list of charities and organisations they recommend: https://ukrainianinstitute.org.uk/russias-war-against-ukraine-what-can-you-do-to-support-ukraine-ukrainians/
Many of our listeners have raised concerns over the potential sale of Telegraph Media Group to the Abu Dhabi-linked Redbird IMI. We are inviting the submission of comments on the process. Email salecomments@telegraph.co.uk or dtletters@telegraph.co.uk to have your say.
