BBC World Service - Weekend, Ukraine war: US intelligence says fighting set to slow for winter months

The war in Ukraine is now in its ninth month

US director of intelligence Avril Haines said there has been no evidence of fading resistance on the part of Ukrainian forces.

The fighting in Ukraine has been slowing down and this will likely continue in the coming winter months, US intelligence agencies believe. However, there has been no evidence of fading resistance on the part of Ukrainian forces, US director of intelligence Avril Haines said. She said both sides would try to "refit, resupply and reconstitute" for a counter-offensive in the spring. We hear the latest from the BBC's correspondent in Kyiv. Also on the programme: a lookahead to Tuesday's senate run-off in the US state of Georgia; and traditional embroidered clothing from Romania and Moldova is added to UNESCO's "intangible cultural heritage list."

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Orysia Lutsevych of the foreign-policy think tank Chatham House and Joshua Hammer, an author and journalist based in Berlin.
