TOP Scottish foreign editor David Pratt has been in Ukraine reporting exclusively for The National, as he returns two years on from Russia launching its war on the country.
Over the last few days, Pratt has written several special reports from inside Ukraine, such as an exclusive look at an airfield which triggered the Kremlin’s invasion, and our Sunday National cover story where he met soldiers trying to heal from war injuries.
Pratt has also filed powerful video footage from the scene, giving important insight into the reality of life for Ukrainians.
Here’s how you can watch Pratt’s exclusive reporting.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
