Day 1,387.Today, as Russia attempts to convince the world – or at least Donald Trump – that they are inexorably taking territory, President Zelensky has visited the north-east city of Kupiansk, which has been recently liberated in a rapid recapture of ground. The head of NATO warns that the West faces the prospect of war with Russia on a scale not seen since the days of “our grandparents and great-grandparents” and we examine the latest diplomatic manoeuvres ahead of tomorrow’s meeting in Paris, where the question of territorial concessions will be front and centre. And later, Francis catches up with Ada Wordsworth of KHARPP to hear how your donations to her charity in Kharkiv, made in David Knowles’s memory, are helping vulnerable people this Christmas.ContributorsDominic Nicholls&nbsp;(Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Venetia&nbsp;Rainey (Co-host&nbsp;<a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/battle-lines/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Battle Lines</a>&nbsp;podcast). @venetiarainey&nbsp;on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to&nbsp;Ada Wordsworth (co-founder of the KHARPP charity)SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST’ WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:<a href="http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.
