Hi Tony Diber here. The telegraphs US editor at Washington D.C.

I've launched a new free-to-read newsletter from the US editor

featuring inside from our correspondence around the world and for provoking opinion from leading journalist and both Britain and the USA

The newsletter is packed with the best of the telegraphs global coverage.

Visit Telegraph.co.uk forward slash from the US editor to sign up.

I'm David Knowles, and this is Ukraine, the latest.

Today, he updates from across Ukraine,

reaction in Westminster and beyond, and we ask the question,

did Vladimir Putin underestimate Vladimir Zelensky?

Nobody is going to break us. We're strong. We're Ukrainians.

Every weekday, I'll be bringing you the news of Russia's invasion of Ukraine

from the telegraphs newsroom in London and from our journalists reporting from around the region.

It's day seven of the war. Boris Johnson says the vice is tightening around Putin's regime,

but on the front lines, it's difficult to get a clear picture of the situation.

So, to dissect at all, I sat down with Dominickels, the telegraphs defense and security editor,

who does armoured, Olivia Utley and Francis Dernley from our comment team,

and Tony Diver, our political correspondent.

Amid conflicting reports from the front, I started by asking Dominickels whether there's

anything we can really know for certain about the state of play in Ukraine.

Hi, David. A very short answer. A very simple answer is no. There's nothing we can know for

certain. War is always a very confusing activity. People talk about the fog of war.
