Danielle Sheridan

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 Danielle has been travelling to the warzone to bear witness to one of the greatest atrocities in recent memory. From reporting on the Bucha massacre to finding evidence of mass graves in the back gardens of innocent civilians, to embedding with Troops in the Donbas and interviewing Russian prisoners of war, Danielle has spent months at a time on the ground in Ukraine to accurately report unfolding events. Most recently, Danielle travelled to Kyiv in June this year where she exclusively interviewed Ukraine’s First Lady, Olena Zelenska. The two discussed how the First Lady had come close to burn out and what it is like being married to President Zelensky.

Danielle has also reported from Israel, where she deployed in October last year to cover the Hamas attacks.

While in the UK Danielle focuses on the British military, as well as looking at how decisions made in Government impact foreign conflicts and the wider European region.

Danielle began her career in Fleet Street on The Times graduate scheme, having spent the year before reporting on local papers. After five years she moved to The Daily Telegraph, first as an Assistant News Editor, then becoming a political journalist where she covered the rise and fall of Boris Johnson. She has been covering Defence full time since Russia’s full-scale invasion.
