Ukrainian troops are having to risk their lives, crossing icy waters, to defend small islands used for little more than holiday homes.
We hear why these small marshy patches of land are strategically crucial to protecting Ukraine’s biggest gain so far in the war, while Professor Michael Clarke explains the latest developments across the country.
The UK is creating a new Arctic operations base and Sitrep reporter Briohny Williams tells us exactly what it’s like to be there for training and exercises.
Sarah Louise Miller shares the story of thousands of women who overcame huge resistance to become key players in British military intelligence during World War 2.

Appreciate the report, thank you. 🇺🇸must be tough being dropped off on small islands maybe without fast enough withdrawal if needed. Sounds rough.
Thanks to Biden, Ukraine is still a democratic nation, not another vassal state to Russia. Putin must be eliminated, Russia must leave Ukraine.
Don't believe that this door can be opened in bought ways? In Ukraine already a lot of partisans where fighting against the Not democratic regime of Zelenskiy. Only difference, that Zelensky makes terror to russian civilianan administration (people, who helping civilians to organise their lifes) in Russian controlled territories, but prorussian ukranians doesn't kill someone in ukranian administration, just focusing on the military infrastructure.
Fascinating Russia 😀
Abysmal Ukraine >:(
Great SITREP 👍 👌 🙏
Still it won't be enough, Russia are trained in High-altitudes and often sends its high volumes of arsenal of Missiles and Munitions on the area since the times of Soviet Union.
The Arctic Circle is Russian playground for warfare, deploying UK troops in Norway is just novice plan.
