This time he's dropped the Guardian and taken ITN with him.

But you can see, you know, the video shows people hugging him on arrival at the train station.

I think that's kind of genuine affection for him.

And also actually for the UK.

It's very strange to live and work in a country where the UK is really popular.

I mean, after Brexit, generally, we weren't very popular in many places.

But the UK has loved it, seen as being a really solid ally, where support, interestingly, comes from across the political spectrum, which is not the case in the US or much of continental Europe.

Yeah, it's really been hotting up on several fronts, political, military, internationally, on the battlefield. I visited recently in the northeast Kharkiv region, a place called Kupinsk, and also another front line near Sumy, where Ukraine has since August occupied a chunk of territory inside Russia.

In Kupinsk, where I was, the Russians were a couple of miles away. They are sending drones into the streets to chase and hunt civilians. And Russia is winning the war in the east of Ukraine purely because of mass. It's got more of everything. It's got more men. It's got more tanks. It's got more warplanes. And, you know, meanwhile, of course, the other big development is Donald Trump.

What that means, Kiev, the presidential administration of Volodymyr Zelensky is bracing for impact.

And interestingly, opinion in Kyiv about what Trump will mean for Ukraine is mixed. There's quite a strong faction, group of people who think that Trump might just be good news for Ukraine, that he might somehow bring about an end to the war.
