Donald Trump is Backing Putin and Selling Out Ukrainians. My guest is Volodymyr Dubovyk, a Senior Fellow at CEPA. In South Korea this week, the specter of authoritarianism briefly materialized when Prime Minister Yoon declared martial law. Although it lasted only hours, Yoon may have felt encouraged by the incoming Trump administration. While democratic forces prevailed in South Korea this time, Ukraine's situation is very different. In Kyiv, we witnessed something previously unthinkable: Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has steadfastly maintained Ukraine's right to complete territorial integrity since Russia's invasion, appeared to blink against Putin. Zelenskyy's new apparent openness to the temporary Russian occupation of Ukrainian territory marks a dramatic shift in position—one that reveals both the mounting pressure on Ukraine's military and democracy and the growing recognition of the evaporating Western resolve. The Trump administration is stumbling over itself in floating peace proposals that align with Russian interests, even before potentially taking office. They even dispatched their new advisor to the Kremlin, only to be dismissed by Putin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov. However, this dismissal wasn't a rejection of diplomacy but a calculated message. Why rush to negotiate when military realities and global dynamics increasingly favor Russian objectives? It seems unavoidable that we will march into 2025 in a manner reminiscent of how the world marched into Munich in 1938. Just as Chamberlain convinced himself that sacrificing part of Czechoslovakia might satisfy Hitler's ambitions, we are watching the potential next U.S. administration craft peace proposals that would effectively validate Putin's territorial conquests. Get used to it, folks—we're witnessing a seismic shift in the global democratic order. It's the first time we've sacrificed the principles of territorial integrity and democratic self-determination, which are the cornerstones of the post-World War II international system. These principles are being reconsidered in real time. So yes, elections have consequences, and these developments do not make one feel very good. However, there is a lesson in the events that just happened in South Korea: it took a unanimous vote of parliament and some street protests, but martial law only lasted six hours, and now Yoon faces impeachment. Putin may feel emboldened by recent events and by Zelenskyy's apparent concession, but he is still facing the resolve of the Ukrainian people. When people stand up to these paper strongmen, they are often defeated. When the rule of law is maintained, strongmen will back down. When the American people apply pressure—publicly and through the media—we too can urge Donald Trump to protect the people of Ukraine and never surrender. Learn more about your ad choices.

July 8th 2024 Yuriy shares his dislike for cinemas but draws powerful parallels between the movie 'Dunkirk' and Ukraine's current war against Russian aggression. He describes the devastating impact of the conflict on civilians, particularly children, and calls for global support to stop the atrocities committed by Russian forces.

I don't like going to the cinema. It usually makes me very uncomfortable. Too many people, everything is too loud. It's just not my thing. I went to cinemas so rarely, but I even remember the last movie I watched on the big screen. It was Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk. Moreover, I vividly remember the beginning of a movie. The scene where a British soldier runs through the streets of Dunkirk, stumbles upon the French barricade, and the French let him through with one shouting after him, "Bon Voyage." You know, this it reflects our reality, our war. In Ukraine, we are like those French soldiers in the film- holding back the Nazi onslaught while the world runs away from reality. Just as the British soldiers fled in the movie. The French on the barricade wear helmets from the First World War, their machine guns are also very old. But we hold on and fight just like Ukraine fights now often gasping without new modern weapons. It's fascinating to watch such films from our time knowing that those British guys are neither cowards, nor traitors, but we continue to fight against Nazism and will return to France to liberate it. As for the future of our war, we know nothing. Will we continue to fight alone against terrorists who destroy entire cities and dream of conquering Europe? Will our partners continue to help us or will we betray us for cheap fuel and Putin's promises not to attack them? We don't know any of this. Nolan has not made a film about us: our future's script is being written right now and it is being written with the blood of Ukrainians. Just today, the Russians launched a massive missile strike on Ukrainian cities. In Kyiv their missile hit a children's hospital. The ward for children with cancer. These Russian monsters have nothing sacred, where not humans, where mindless values immoral scum. Russia is at war against children with cancer. Brave Russian pilots drop bombs and missiles on children's hospitals without hesitation, and they even receive promotions and medals for it. This is not a coincidence when you, what we are doing and did it intentionally. And we will keep doing it as long as we have missiles and bombs. These children are Russia's terrible enemies; they committed an unforgivable crime in the eyes of the Russians, they they are born Ukrainians. And for this, were being bombed. For this, we are all being bombed and we hold on while the rest of the world mentally evacuates from our bloody modern Dunkirk. Perhaps I don't like going to the cinema also because I can't help with people on the screen who get into trouble. It's like I'm spying on them, when I should at least do something for them. But the war in Ukraine is not a movie, and when democratic world is not an audience helplessly watching a tragedy and not helping wars suffering before their eyes. The world can help, can provide weapons, can show Putin and his humanoid scum that they, cannot bomb children with impunity. And I really hope that this will be the case.
In Kyiv, the war against Russia's invasion plays out not only through airstrikes and drones, but also through culture. Well before his full-scale invasion, President Putin was clear in his ahistorical belief that Ukraine is a made-up country, rightfully part of greater Russia. Our first guest, Victoria Nuland, was in Kyiv during the Maidan protests in 2013-14, meeting with pro-democracy protesters as well as then-President Yanukovych. This was the first of many such visits since then. It was just last month that the current Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs was in Kyiv for talks and she joins Christiane from Washington to discuss U.S. support for Ukraine.

The Biden administration has announced that it's sending another military aid package to Ukraine worth $250 million. In Kyiv, Ukrainian officials are looking ahead to the new year and making plans for what the war effort may look like in 2024. Also, as the death toll reaches 21,000, many people in Gaza have left all kinds of final messages – both publicly, and to loved ones — to tell them what they would want to be known for in the event of their death. And, Spain's recent amnesty deal for Catalan separatists has led to political upheaval, with conservatives taking to the streets by the tens of thousands. But the protests ignore the country's long history of amnesty measures and pardons. Plus, Mexico says it wants to see progress in US relations with Cuba and Venezuela.Show us you're with The World and make a gift today!

Triomfantelijk stuurde Viktor Orban vorige week een tweet de wereld in met: ‘De wind van verandering is hier! Gefeliciteerd Geert Wilders met het winnen van de Nederlandse verkiezingen!' Vergezeld met een gifje van Wind of Change, het wereldberoemde nummer van de Scorpions. Blijdschap dus bij de Hongaarse premier, een aanhanger van het Kremlin en Oekraïne-criticus. Ook de Russische televisie was opgetogen. In Kyiv zal de uitslag tandenknarsend zijn ontvangen. Verschillende emoties dus. In deze aflevering kijken we naar reacties uit Centraal- en Oost-Europa en de impact van Wilders' overwinning op onze regio. Moet Kyiv in mineur zijn? Is Moskou terecht blij? Gaat Nederland het Hongarije van Orban en het Polen van PiS achterna? Daarvoor hebben we een expert in huis gehaald die de ochtend na de verkiezingsuitslag al druk bezig wat met het tikken van een stuk voor Raam op Rusland, getiteld: Moskou gnuift, Kyiv gruwt.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Nov. 21 at 7:30 a.m. CT: Senior Hamas officials say an agreement could be reached soon in which the militant group would release hostages and Israel would free Palestinian prisoners. Israel, the United States and Qatar, which mediates with Hamas, have been negotiating for weeks over a hostage release that would be paired with a temporary cease-fire in Gaza and the entry of more humanitarian aid. DALLAS (AP) — Despite inflation and memories of past holiday travel meltdowns, millions of people are expected to hit airports and highways in record numbers over the Thanksgiving break. AAA forecasts that 55.4 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home between next Wednesday and the Sunday after Thanksgiving, with roads likely to be the most clogged on Wednesday. HONOLULU (AP) — A Hawaii official says all nine people aboard a U.S. Navy plane that overshot a runway have escaped injury. A U.S. Marine Corps spokesperson said Monday that the P-8A aircraft overshot the runway at a Marine base and went into Kaneohe Bay. Another spokesperson says the Coast Guard responded but that rescue operations were quickly called off. The P-8A is often used to hunt for submarines and used in reconnaissance and intelligence gathering. It is manufactured by Boeing and shares many parts with the 737 commercial jet. The base is about 10 miles from Honolulu on Oahu. WESTCLIFFE, Colo. (AP) — Authorities in Colorado are hunting for a man they believe shot and killed three people and critically wounded a fourth in a property dispute. The Custer County Sheriff's Office says what began as a dispute ended with gunshots Monday in a rural area about 8 miles from the county seat of Westcliffe. Authorities say two men and a woman died at the scene and a fourth person was taken to a trauma center in critical condition but is expected to survive. Residents of the wooded, rural area were told to shelter in place for five hours on Monday as authorities hunted for the suspect, but the order was listed Monday night while he remained at large. BEAVERCREEK, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio say a shooter opened fire at a Walmart, wounding four people before apparently killing himself. The attack took place Monday night at a Walmart in Beavercreek, in the Dayton metropolitan area. Police didn't immediately release the name of the shooter, a possible motive for the attack or other details. There also wasn't any immediate word on the conditions of the victims, who were taken to hospitals. In a statement, Walmart says the company is “heartbroken” over the shootings. KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has made an unannounced visit to Ukraine, traveling to Kyiv by train from Poland. Austin is making a high-profile push to keep money and weapons flowing to Ukraine even as U.S. and international resources are stretched by the new global risks raised by the Israel-Hamas conflict. In Kyiv he met Monday with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine's defense minister and chief of staff and announced that the U.S. would be sending an additional $100 million in weapons. Austin says Ukraine's effort to defeat Russia's forces “matters to the rest of the world” and U.S. support will continue “for the long haul.” The Eagles get Super Bowl revenge, the Nuggets and Bucks are among NBA's big winners, the Lightning get a key win over the Bruins in the NHL slate and two ranked college basketball matchups. WASHINGTON (AP) — A divided federal appeals court has found that private individuals and groups such as the NAACP do not have the ability to sue under a key section of the federal Voting Rights Act. It's a decision that voting rights advocates say could further erode protections under the landmark 1965 law. The 2-1 decision Monday by a panel of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals based in St. Louis found that only the U.S. attorney general can enforce Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. That section prohibits discriminatory voting practices such as racially gerrymandered districts. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has spent part of his 81st birthday observing the White House tradition of pardoning Thanksgiving turkeys. Gobblers Liberty and Bell received executive clemency Monday at a White House ceremony. Biden mentioned his age and joked that he wasn't at the first of these events held 76 yeas ago. The 20-week-old, 42-pound birds were hatched and bred in Willmar, Minnesota, by the Jennie-O turkey company for the occasion. The turkey pardon ceremony marks the unofficial start of the holiday season in Washington. On Monday, Jill Biden also welcomed delivery of a Fraser fir from North Carolina as the official White House Christmas tree. The company that created ChatGPT is in turmoil after Microsoft hired its ousted CEO and many more employees threatened to follow him in a conflict that centered in part oin part on how to build artificial intelligence that's smarter than humans. The developments followed a weekend of drama that shocked the AI field and fueled speculation about the future of OpenAI. The startup's new CEO vowed to investigate the firing of co-founder and CEO Sam Altman. He's been instrumental in OpenAI's transformation from a nonprofit research laboratory into a world-renowned commercial startup that inaugurated the era of generative artificial intelligence. Microsoft announced that Altman and OpenAI's former president, Greg Brockman, would lead its new advanced AI research team. OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The founder of a former megachurch in Oklahoma known for rejecting the idea of hell and supporting gay rights has died. Bishop Carlton Pearson died Sunday in hospice care in Tulsa due to cancer according to his agent. Pearson was 70. Pearson founded Higher Dimensions Family Church in Tulsa and by 2000 its membership reached 6,000. Membership fell to a few hundred by 2008 after Pearson began teaching what he called “the gospel of inclusion,” a form of universalism, which does not recognize hell. The church, renamed New Dimensions was folded into another church as Pearson became a United Church of Christ minister. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

We're joined by Yotam Politzer, CEO of IsraAID, to discuss how Israel's leading international humanitarian organization is responding to the immediate and long-term needs on the ground in the wake of Iran-backed Hamas's barbaric terrorist attack in Israel. Politzer shares how American Jews can step up to support Israelis through this incredibly difficult time. American Jewish Committee (AJC) has launched an Israel Emergency Campaign to support Israeli relief organizations. Their first grantee will be IsraAID, AJC's longtime partner, which has responded to emergencies worldwide, but never before in Israel. Until now. *The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views or position of AJC.

By the time of this recording, the death toll had reached 900. Thousands more are wounded. In response to this atrocity, American Jewish Committee has launched an Israel Emergency Campaign to support Israeli relief organizations. The first recipient money raised will be AJC's longtime partner IsraAID, which has responded to emergencies in more than 50 countries around the world, but never before in Israel– until now. Yotam Polizer, CEO Of IsraAID, joined us in Tel Aviv earlier this summer. He is joining us again now from New York, where he was visiting when the war broke out. While Yotam is unable to return home at the moment due to lack of flights to Israel, he is working hard to coordinate emergency response from here and is with us to discuss the efforts underway. Yotam, welcome back to People of the Pod. Yotam Politzer: Thanks for having me. Manya Brachear Pashman: It must be so difficult not to be there with your team. Yotam Politzer: Thankfully, our headquarters and our emergency response team is already in full speed. So I think it's also important for me to be here for two reasons, one, to coordinate the support, and not less importantly, to communicate to people here, both in the Jewish community and in the general community, what we're seeing and hearing in terms of the humanitarian needs on the ground. Manya Brachear Pashman: So what are you hearing from your people on the ground there? What are they reporting? Yotam Politzer: I don't think I need to elaborate on the horrors because I think we've all been following the news and saw all the horrific images. But for us, as Israel's leading international humanitarian organization, we have never had a full-scale humanitarian response in Israel. This is the first time we're actually doing it. And we're doing it because the situation is indeed dire and extreme. The biggest need that we identify right now is related to mental health. And because, of course, we are not a humanitarian organization, we're not involved in the security and the military operation. And of course, there are many needs related to the operation that's going on. From a humanitarian perspective, the whole country is traumatized. I don't know of a single person who doesn't know anyone who either was murdered or kidnapped or both. And the number of people who have an immediate family member, or neighbor, who was murdered, or unaccounted for and probably kidnapped by Hamas is so high, talking about hundreds of 1000s of people. Specifically, what we consider the most vulnerable are obviously the people who lived on the frontline, the villages, the moshavim, and the kibbutzim surrounding Gaza. They have lost on average 10-20% of their population in each of these villages. In Kibbutz Be'eri, just an hour ago, it was published that they found 108 bodies– that's probably much more than 10% of the population there. And many more again, are kidnapped. So these communities who suffered the worst atrocities a person could think of are now in different shelters around the country. So supporting them in these shelters in any shape or form is the most important humanitarian mission of our time. Many of them have been evacuated specifically from this kibbutz to the Dead Sea, to the Dead Sea hotels, because it's one of the safest places in Israel. If God forbid, we will have another frontline on the north border, that's still safe enough for these people. And these hotels are now operating as shelters and evacuation centers. And the government and the local regional council and the hotel owners are currently providing the food and shelter. So there are less needs on that front. But again, when it comes to mental health support for everyone there, this is crucial. So that's what our team has been focusing on. Manya Brachear Pashman: You're also operating what are called Child Safe Spaces, which you describe as “a place for the kids to be kids.” Tell us more about that. Yotam Politzer: We can't imagine what these kids went through. And we just want to give them some sense of normalcy. And let them be kids again, and let them play and let them express themselves and let them release their stress and allow their parents or whoever is left from their families a chance to finally maybe get some sleep, try to reorganize, regroup and deal with everything else that they need to deal with. Try to, you know, start thinking about rebuilding their life after these horrors, which again, will obviously take years. So when we look at the humanitarian needs, I think we need to look at the immediate needs. But even more important, we need to understand that there will be long term needs for these people, and for everyone that is related to them. And so as IsraAID it's very important for us to be first on the ground, wherever it is, in Israel, or in anywhere else in the world. In fact, our team who was responding to the earthquake in Morocco, is now on its way back to Israel to join our team that's already responding in Israel. So that's in short. Manya Brachear Pashman: In fact, some of the services that you are describing, I believe, you described to me when we spoke earlier this summer, regarding the war in Ukraine, right, many of these similar services were provided there as well, as well as other places around the world. Can you elaborate a little bit about where else around the world you have offered the same services that you're now offering everywhere? Yotam Politzer: I mean, I started my humanitarian career in Japan, again, another developed country, following the earthquake and tsunami in 2011, that killed more than 20,000 people. And they're there, the local government, the local community was very well equipped to support with infrastructure, but they didn't have any kind of emotional mental health support and trauma care. So we actually brought therapists from Sderot, who was working with children who are traumatized in Sderot and develop these models. We brought them to Japan, and we worked with the Syrian refugees with Arabic speaking therapist from Israel. We worked we work in Ukraine in partnership with the First Lady doing mental health and trauma and resilience. And, now we're in Israel. And yes, there are many great professionals doing that in Israel, but many of them were affected. And the level of trauma is so big, that we have to do it in Israel, too. Manya Brachear Pashman: So what can people here do Yotam? How can they help? Because there's certainly a feeling of helplessness as we watch these images from abroad. Yotam Politzer: Yeah and I totally understand and I think being in a position of doing is very important. Look, I think the two main things to do right now, from here from the other side of the world, which is what I'm trying to do as well, while I'm here, is supporting initiatives like IsraAID, like many other organizations who are responding, and they are great organizations, from Magen David Adom, MDA, that people know, and United Hatzalah, and many are focusing on medical services, some of the hospitals, which is very important. The other thing, which is very, very important, and I think each and every one of us can do, even if we don't have the financial resources, is to be ambassadors for the people of Israel. And we need it more than ever. And it means to do it in the Jewish community, outside the Jewish community, on social media, in synagogues, in schools, in the supermarket, everywhere, there are so many ways to become ambassadors for Israel. And this is something we can all do using our phone. And, and it's very, very important. And for the people of Israel, and especially the people who are worst affected. There's so much anger, so much frustration, so much fear, and anxiety. And showing our solidarity, in every shape or form, has a huge mental health impact on Israel. I mean, these pictures of cities, the Eiffel Tower or the Brandenburg Gate. In Kyiv. More than 20 places were displaying the Israeli flag as solidarity. I saw it shared so widely in Israel. I mean, knowing hat we have friends. And a lot of them have a huge impact, not only on the Hasbara, and advocacy, which is important, I'm not against it, but also for the mental health and well being of the people of Israel. So it's very, very important. What is less helpful at the moment, I'm not against it in general. I don't think we need to send supplies from here to Israel. I know a lot of people want to send supplies, but we can purchase supplies in Israel and support the local economy. And there's also a lot of donations going on or so I think that's less helpful. In terms of volunteers, people who want to go from here to volunteer in Israel, that may be needed in the long run. At this very specific moment. I don't think that's a big need. I think supporting organizations on the ground is more important. If you only have limited resources, rather than paying on a very expensive flight, that may or may not go, I think it's important to support organizations who are on the ground and are based there. But it may be needed in the near future, especially as this become a more long term operation. And then we will need people with specific skills and expertise. Manya Brachear Pashman: In terms of the response, what are you seeing that is giving you hope? What are you seeing that is discouraging? Yotam Politzer: I see a lot of things that are reassuring. I see the tremendous support we're getting from many, so many. Not all of them are our typical friends. And, you know, whether it's mainstream media or political leaders, political leaders. I also see some people who are not supporting or trying to paint it, you know, try to be diplomatic on both sides. I don't think at the moment that that makes any sense, to be honest. So that is disturbing. But I also don't hear enough focus on humanitarian needs. I mean, again, I'm not I think the political consequences, the security and safety are very important, but the people there and how to help them and what their needs are, are not being highlighted enough. Because maybe it's less sexy in the news, I mean, we do hear a lot of horror stories, but the people who are alive and survived and lost their loved ones and went through the worst trauma a person could think of are not being highlighted. Also the incredible story of resilience and heroism from so many people. I have seen some of these in the Israeli media, but not enough in the foreign media and not enough on social media here. So I also think we need to celebrate the resilience of the people there that have been the most resilient people before this crisis. But considering what they're going through, we need to celebrate these people, these heroes, these communities, we need to support them in whatever way we can, we need to be there for them. We need to so I don't see enough of that. Manya Brachear Pashman: Is there a particular story that comes to mind that you would like to share with our listeners of such heroism? Yotam Politzer: There are so many actually, but personally, again, and I've been following this news of so many. So many actually, not one person, hundreds of people who were you know, pulled out their sleeves and went in and pulled out people under fire. And these are people who are not in active duty. And they went in and risked their lives in these first 24 hours and pulled out people and some of them lost their lives who are doing that. I was also very touched by stories of Arab nurses and doctors who came in at even higher percentage than they are, to volunteer and to support in the hospitals. I just heard a story of this woman who was not young. But when terrorists came into her house she was so resilient, and she was able to offer – she was so smart and sharp and resilient. And she was able to offer the Hamas terrorist cookies. And to set them down until her rescuers actually came and were able to rescue her. So you know, it's unbelievable. Among the horrors, there are so many of these heroism and resilience stories and I think we should talk about them more. Manya Brachear Pashman: Yotam, thank you to IsraAID for all you're doing on the ground. AJC has been so proud to call you a partner and is so grateful that we can rely on you to help us channel our heartbreak, constructively. Yotam Politzer: Thank you so much, first of all, and we're so grateful for AJC. For everything we do together, especially now. AJC has supported us in more than 20 countries. So we have never imagined that we will need AJC to support us in Israel. But here we are. So that's number one. Number two, I do think that myself and all of us here in this part of the world have an important role to play to be the voice for the voiceless and to bring more support. Thank you very much. Manya Brachear Pashman: In less than 24 hours, AJC's Israel Emergency Campaign has raised more than one million dollars. 100 percent of which will be distributed to hospitals, trauma centers, and frontline Israeli NGOs starting with IsraAID.

(00:47) Ecocide in Oekraïne Vanuit het getroffen gebied doet onze verslaggever Michiel Driebergen verslag van de gevolgen van de verwoesting van de Kachovka-dam. In Kyiv klinkt het verwijt dat Russen ecocide plegen: het bewust vernietigen van ecosystemen. Wim Zwijnenburg van vredesorganisatie PAX onderzoekt de milieuschade als gevolg van de oorlog, hij is te gast. (12:40) ‘Betrek het mondiale Zuiden bij vredesonderhandelingen Oekraïne' India, Brazilië en Indonesië werpen zich op als mogelijke bemiddelaar bij vredesonderhandelingen tussen Rusland en Oekraïne.

US President Joe Biden made an unannounced visit to Kyiv on Monday to meet with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, a striking gesture of solidarity coming days away from the one-year anniversary of the conflict with Russia.2月20日，美国总统拜登未经宣布访问基辅，与乌克兰总统沃洛基米尔·泽连斯基会面，这一声援姿态引人注目，因为几天后就是乌克兰与俄罗斯冲突一周年。Speaking alongside Zelensky at Mariinsky Palace, Biden recalled the fear nearly a year ago that Russian forces might quickly take the Ukrainian capital. "One year later, Kyiv stands," he said.拜登在马林斯基宫与泽连斯基一同发表讲话，回忆了近一年前的担忧，即俄军可能会迅速占领乌克兰首都。“一年后，基辅站了起来，”他说。The Ukraine visit came at a crucial moment as Biden looks to keep allies unifiedin their support for the country, with the conflict expected to intensify as both sides prepare for spring offensives. Zelensky is pressing allies to speed up delivery of pledged weapon systems and is calling on the West to deliver fighter jets to Ukraine, something that Biden to date has declined to do.拜登访问乌克兰正值关键时刻，他希望希望让盟友保持对乌克兰的支持，在双方准备春季攻势之际，预计冲突将加剧。泽连斯基敦促盟友加快交付承诺的武器系统，并呼吁西方向乌克兰交付战斗机，而拜登迄今拒绝这样做。In Kyiv, Biden announced an additional half-billion dollars in US assistance — on top of the more than $50 billion already provided — including shells for howitzers, antitank missiles, air surveillance radars and other aid, but no new advanced weaponry.拜登在基辅宣布，美国在已经提供500多亿美元援助的基础上，将再提供5亿美元援助，包括榴弹炮炮弹、反坦克导弹、空中监视雷达和其他援助，但没有提供新的先进武器。Ukraine has also been pushing for battlefield systems that would allow its forces to strike Russian targets that have been moved back from front-line areas, out of the range of HIMARS missiles that have already been delivered.乌克兰还一直在推动建立战场系统，能够让部队打击已经从前线地区撤回的俄罗斯目标，这些目标超出了已经交付的HIMARS导弹的射程。Zelensky said he and Biden spoke about "long-range weapons and the weapons that may still be supplied to Ukraine even though it wasn't supplied before". But he did not detail any new commitments. "Our negotiations were very fruitful," he added.泽连斯基表示，他和拜登谈到了“远程武器，以前没有提供但仍可能向乌克兰提供的武器”。但是他没有详细说明任何新的承诺。“我们的谈判很有成效，”他补充说。Biden's mission with this visit, coming ahead of a scheduled trip to Warsaw, Poland, was to underscore that the US is prepared to stick with Ukraine "as long as it takes" to repel Russian forces, even as public opinion polling suggests that US and allied support for providing weaponry and direct economic assistance has started to soften, The Associated Press commented.拜登此次访问的任务在原定的波兰华沙之行之前进行，强调美国准备与乌克兰“坚持到”击退俄罗斯军队，尽管民意调查显示，美国及其盟军对提供武器和直接经济援助的支持已经开始减弱，美联社评论道。For Zelensky, it added, the symbolism of having the United States president stand side by side with him on Ukrainian land as the anniversary nears is no small thing as he prods the US and European allies to provide more advanced weaponry and to step up the pace of delivery.对于泽连斯基来说，它还说，对泽连斯基来说，在周年纪念日临近之际，美国总统与他并肩站在乌克兰的土地上，其象征意义非同小可，因为他敦促美国和欧洲盟友提供更多先进的武器装备并加快交付速度。'War machine' protest对“战争机器”的抗议Speculation has been building for weeks that Biden would pay a visit to Ukraine around the Feb 24 anniversary. The White House had repeatedly said that no presidential trip to Kyiv was planned, even after the Poland visit was announced this month.几周以来，外界一直在猜测拜登将在2月24日周年纪念前后访问乌克兰。白宫曾多次表示，没有计划对基辅进行总统访问，即使在本月宣布对波兰进行访问后也是如此。On Sunday, hundreds of protesters attended a rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, slamming the US' role as a "war machine" in overseas conflicts.2月19日，数百名抗议者在华盛顿林肯纪念堂举行集会，抨击美国在海外冲突中扮演“战争机器”的角色。Organizers said the rally was to protest the massive amounts of money being funneled into Ukraine, as well as the US' role in the ongoing conflict. "Billions of taxpayers' dollars are being torched at the altar of US hegemony, the military-industrial complex, and a corrupt Congress," they said in a news release.组织者表示，这次集会是为了抗议大量资金流入乌克兰，以及美国在持续冲突中所扮演的角色。他们在新闻发布会上说：“数十亿纳税人的钱在美国霸权、军工联合体和腐败的国会的祭坛上付之一炬。”Jimmy Dore, a US political commentator and media personality, spoke at Sunday's rally, saying: "Do you know we could end this war today through diplomacy? But our politicians want to enrich weapons manufacturers, so they keep donating to them."美国政治评论员兼媒体人吉米·多尔在2月19日的集会上发表讲话说：“你知道我们今天可以通过外交结束这场战争吗？但我们的政客想要让武器制造商发财，因此不断向他们捐款。”Cat McGuire, a protester from New York City, said the overarching goal of the rally was to stop the conflict in Ukraine. "People have to wake up," she said. "There's massive warmongering propaganda and, unfortunately, too many people have bought into it."来自纽约市的抗议者凯特麦奎尔说，集会的首要目标是停止乌克兰的冲突。“人们必须醒来，”她说。“有大量的好战宣传，不幸的是，有太多人买账了。”Other speakers and protesters also lashed out at the US military-industrial complex, a powerful interest group made of the military, private defense contractors, and politicians.其他发言人和抗议者也猛烈抨击美国军工复合体，这是一个由军方、私人国防承包商和政客组成的强大利益集团。After the rally, the protesters marched to the White House, chanting slogans including "No NATO, no war".集会结束后，抗议者游行至白宫，高喊“没有北约，就没有战争”等口号。Eric Reeves, a protester from Texas, said that the military-industrial complex, which has huge influence on Washington's decision-makers, is way out of control. The US government is "not doing the will of the American people" and is "making decisions without consulting us", he added.来自德克萨斯州的抗议者埃里克·里夫斯表示，对华盛顿决策者有巨大影响的军工复合体已经完全失控。他补充道，美国政府“没有按照美国人民的意愿行事”，“在没有征求我们意见的情况下做出决定”。Counterpart英 [ˈkaʊntəpɑːt] 美 [ˈkaʊntərpɑːrt]n. 职能（或地位）相当的人Solidarity 英 [ˌsɒlɪˈdærəti] 美 [ˌsɑːlɪˈdærəti]n.团结Speculation英[ˌspekjuˈleɪʃn]美[ˌspekjuˈleɪʃn]n.推断

Boris Johnson's endgame was a gripping spectacle of hubris, betrayal, power struggles and bare-faced self-interest. But what went down behind the scenes? Sebastian Payne lays out the drama in his new book The Fall of Boris Johnson: The Full Story. The former Financial Times's Whitehall Editor tells Ros Taylor about the contradictions that drove Johnson's career, the truth about his relationship with Zelenskyy… and how parties at No.10 helped bring down a man who doesn't even like parties. “Johnson is gone but his domestic policies still shape Westminster.” “In Kyiv they can't understand why we got rid of Johnson.” “Johnson never had the right people around him.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Ros Taylor.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Charles Sousa, The former minister of finance for Ontario and MPP for Mississauga South, Lisa Raitt, Former Deputy Leader of Conservative Party of Canada, and Howard Hampton, former leader of the Ontario NDP. It's Tuesday - time to talk politics: And we begin in Alberta where Danielle Smith will be sworn in as the province's 19th Premier. She of course is the former head of the right wing Wild Rose party and she has promised to challenge the federal carbon tax and to introduce an Alberta sovereignty act that would reject federal laws deemed against the province's interests. This has some people wondering if Alberta is the new Quebec. --- THE LATEST ON RUSSIA-UKRAINE AND IS CANADA DOING ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE WAR EFFORT? Libby Znaimer is now joined by Dr. Maria Popova, Jean Monnet Chair and Associate Professor of Political Science at McGill University as well as Dr. Eric Ouellet, Professor in the Department of Defence Studies at the Royal Military College of Canada. Russia's latest retaliation against Ukraine has sparked condemnation around the world. President Vladimir Putin of Russia ordered the largest aerial assault since the early days of Moscow's invasion, raining missiles down on at least 11 cities and killing at least 14 people. Dozens of missile strikes — from Lviv in the west to Mykolaiv in the south and Kharkiv in the northeast — In Kyiv, residents took shelter in subway stations. All this targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. This after escalating nuclear threats from Russia. --- CANADA'S GUIDELINES ON BREAST CANCER SCREENING Libby Znaimer is now joined by Dr. David Jacobs, a radiologist at Humber River Hospital in Toronto and President of the Ontario Association of Radiologists. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the president of the Ontario Association of Radiologists is saying that breast cancer screening all across the country should be expanded to include women in their 40's and that the current guidelines are costing lives. Currently, only 4 provinces--not including Ontario--offer this to women of average risk in the younger cohort. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

Boris Johnson won glorieus de verkiezingen. De media waren dol op hem. Hij kreeg Brexit voor elkaar. In Kyiv was hij een held. Maar de Tory-premier ging roemloos ten onder. Zijn trouwste aanhangers, de jonge politici in zijn kabinet, zegden massaal het vertrouwen op, terwijl de 'oude rotten' hun afkeer niet meer verhulden. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken in het drama in Downing Street 10 en belichten de unieke historie van de implosie van onverslaanbaar geachte Britse premiers.Bij Johnson speelden twee dingen een cruciale rol. Ten eerste dat iedereen wist dat hij nooit en door niemand te vertrouwen was. Hij verried zijn vriend en premier David Cameron en diens opvolger Theresa May over Brexit. Hij probeerde schaamteloos de EU-leiders tegen elkaar uit te spelen, maar die hadden hun geheime wapen Michel Barnier. En Nancy Pelosi liet weten dat het Amerikaanse Congres niet geloofde in een post-Brexit deal.Ten tweede is Johnson ingehaald door de effecten van zijn enige ‘succes'. De ramp voor de economische voorspoed op de lange termijn die Brexit nu al blijkt te zijn, kon hij niet meer wegmoffelen. Ook niet door ‘de grootste bondgenoot van Zelensky' te spelen.Is dit uniek? Ja natuurlijk. Zelden ging een premier binnen drie jaar zo de mist in. En nee, uiteraard. PG analyseert drie fameuze momenten in de Britse historie waarbij een prime minister op epische wijze ten onder ging. In 1990 moest Margaret Thatcher meemaken hoe zij op het hoogtepunt van haar politieke loopbaan - nota bene in Parijs - door haar eigen partij en haar eigen ministers weloverwogen en kil werd gedumpt. In 2007 beleefde Tony Blair dat hij als winnaar voor de Labour Party te vaak en te langdurig valse beloften en halve waarheden had gedebiteerd. Hij moest weg en eindelijk Gordon Brown voorrang geven. Voor hemzelf, voor Labour en voor Brown het allemaal te laat.En meest dramatisch was mei 1940. Boris Johnson schreef dan wel een boek over Winston Churchill, maar blijkt de lessen van hoe die aan de macht kwam nimmer te hebben begrepen. De ondergang van Neville Chamberlain in een tijd van oorlog en crisis vertoont verrassende overeenkomsten met de afgelopen week. En het zou er ook nog toe kunnen leiden dat the Queen nadat zij als onverwoestbare vorstin reeds vele records brak, nu nog een laatste politieke benchmark op haar naam schrijft!*** Hieronder nog meer informatie.

俄乌代表团在战火中谈判｜Russian, Ukrainian delegations talk as battles continueTalks between Ukraine and Russia began on Monday noon local time and were still ongoing as of press time in the Gomel region of Belarus near the border with Ukraine.当地时间2月28日中午，乌克兰和俄罗斯代表团在与乌克兰接壤的白俄罗斯戈梅利地区开始谈判。截至发稿时，谈判仍在进行。All Moscow's security concerns must be taken into account to achieve a settlement in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday during a telephone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron.俄罗斯总统普京2月28日与法国总统马克龙通电话，表示乌克兰冲突的调解只有在无条件考虑俄在安全领域合法利益才能进行。Putin said that Russia's security concerns included "Russia's sovereignty over Crimea", as well as the country's commitment to solving the tasks of Ukraine's demilitarization and de-Nazification, and the issue of Ukraine's neutrality, the Kremlin said in a statement.据俄罗斯总统网站消息，普京表示，俄在安全领域合法利益包括承认俄罗斯对克里米亚的主权，解决乌克兰国家的非军事化和非纳粹化等问题，并确保其中立地位。Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office had said it would seek an immediate cease-fire and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine at the talks.乌克兰总统办公室表示，谈判的“关键事项”是“立即停火和（俄罗斯）从乌克兰撤军”。At the start of the talks, Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei assured the delegation members that they would "feel completely secure" during the talks.会谈开始后，白俄罗斯外长马克伊致欢迎辞，向双方保证“绝对安全”。The Russian delegation included officials from the foreign and defense ministries and Putin's office, while the Ukrainian side has sent six senior officials, including the Ukrainian defense minister.俄罗斯代表团成员包括来自外交部、国防部和总统办公室的官员，而乌方派出了包括乌克兰国防部长列兹尼科夫在内的六名高级官员。Earlier, Zelensky said he was skeptical about the talks.泽连斯基早些时候称他对这次会谈保持怀疑。Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency and the Federal Tourism Agency revealed late on Sunday that they were working with the Russian Foreign Ministry to evacuate Russian citizens from European nations as they continue to impose sanctions on Russia, cutting off Russian aircraft from their airspaces.27日晚间，俄罗斯航空运输局和旅游局表示，他们正在与俄罗斯外交部合作，从欧洲各国撤离俄罗斯公民，因为他们继续对俄罗斯实施制裁，禁止俄罗斯飞机进入其领空。Satellite images released on Sunday evening showed a large convoy of Russian ground forces in Ivankiv, which is about 64 kilometers from Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital.27日晚间，卫星图片显示，俄罗斯大规模地面部队集结在基辅西北方向64公里处的伊万基夫。The convoy extends for over 5 km and was moving in the direction of Kyiv. There are hundreds of military vehicles in the convoy, including tanks and self-propelled artillery.地面部队长约5.2公里，正在向基辅方向推进。其拥有数百辆军用车辆，包括坦克和自行火炮。Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Monday that Russian forces had established "total air superiority" over Ukraine.俄罗斯国防部新闻发言人科纳申科夫当地时间28日发布消息说，俄空军已夺取整个乌克兰制空权。 He said they had destroyed eight Buk M-1 air defense system vehicles, an S-300 missile system, three radars and five aircraft in the past 24 hours.科纳申科夫称，在过去的24小时里，俄军已经摧毁了8个“山毛榉-M1”防空导弹系统，1个S-300防空导弹系统，3座雷达站和5架飞机。"Since the beginning of the operation, Russian forces have hit 1,114 Ukrainian military infrastructure facilities, ... destroyed 314 tanks and other armored vehicles, 57 multiple rocket launch systems, 121 field artillery pieces and mortars," he said.“自俄罗斯开展特别军事行动以来，俄军已摧毁乌克兰军事基础设施的1114处目标，击毁了314辆乌军坦克及其他装甲车、57台多管火箭炮、121门野战炮和迫击炮。” Ukraine's military estimated some 5,300 Russian personnel losses, without saying how many of them were killed or captured.乌克兰国防部副部长马利亚尔称约有5300名俄军士兵伤亡，但并未说明死亡或被捕的俄军数字。Satellite images also reveal damage at Antonov airport in Hostomel, Ukraine, which is about 4.4 km from Kyiv.卫星图像还显示，距基辅约4.4公里、位于乌克兰霍斯托梅尔的安东诺夫机场受损。Black smoke was still billowing into the sky when the images were captured. The damage was caused by recent airstrikes and heavy fighting in and near the airport.拍摄照片时，黑烟仍在天空中滚滚升起。机场损毁是由最近的空袭和发生在机场内及附近的激烈战斗造成的。Ukrainian forces said on Sunday they had defeated a Russian incursion into Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city, 500 km from east of Kyiv.乌克兰军队28日表示，他们已经击败了俄罗斯对乌克兰第二大城市哈尔科夫的入侵，该城市距离基辅以东500公里。 Oleg Sinegubov, a regional official, said Kharkiv had been brought under Ukrainian control.哈尔科夫州长奥列格·塞内古博夫表示，乌克兰军队已经重新控制了哈尔科夫。Moscow has made better progress in the south, however, and said it was besieging the cities of Kherson and Berdyansk.然而，俄罗斯军队向乌克兰南部挺进，武装力量包围了赫尔松市和别尔江斯克市。In Kyiv, many residents spent another night in shelters or cellars as Ukrainian forces said they were fighting off Russian "sabotage groups".在基辅的乌克兰军队表示他们正在与俄罗斯的“破坏组织”作战，许多居民在避难所或地窖里度过了又一个夜晚。But Sunday was relatively calm compared to the first days of fighting and the city was under a blanket curfew until Monday morning.与战斗的前几天相比，27日相对平静。截至28日早上，基辅一直处于全面宵禁状态。commitment 英 [kəˈmɪtmənt]; 美 [kəˈmɪtmənt]n.忠诚，献身；承诺，保证；奉献，投入；热情，决心；义务，责任；花费，使用（资金、时间、人力）；需要定期支付的款项sanction 英 [ˈsæŋkʃn]; 美 [ˈsæŋkʃn]n.制裁；处罚，惩罚；（正式）许可，批准；（尤指基督教会的）法令，法律；（伦理学）约束力；支持，鼓励v.认可，准许；对……实施制裁，处罚convoy英 [ˈkɒnvɔɪ]; 美 [ˈkɑːnvɔɪ]n.（尤指护卫）舰队，车队v.护送，为……护航artillery英 [ɑːˈtɪləri]; 美 [ɑːrˈtɪləri]n.火炮，大炮；炮兵，炮兵部队armored 英 [ˈɑːməd]; 美 [ˈɑːrmərd]adj.装甲的curfew 英 [ˈkɜːfjuː]; 美 [ˈkɜːrfjuː]n.宵禁令，宵禁时间；（尤指儿童）晚间必须回家的时间；晚钟；打晚钟时刻
Early this morning, Russia began a full-fledged assault on Ukraine. Multiple cities and military bases are under fire as part of Russia's military offensive. In Kyiv, residents woke up to the sounds of blasts in and around their city. And some US military observers see the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a sort of “shock and awe” effort, aimed at cowing a possible Ukrainian resistance. We hear why some military experts think Russian troops will have a hard time stabilizing an occupied Ukraine. Plus, Turkish pop-star Tarkan just released "Geçcek," or “It Will Pass.” On the surface, the song speaks to getting through the pandemic, but many say it's a veiled way to express the imminent end to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's rule.
Against the backdrop of a Russian military buildup and a deepening rift between Russia and Western countries, Ukrainians have begun to make serious preparations for an intensified war. For many, this means joining the Territorial Defense Forces -- the country's volunteer military reserve that was recently incorporated into the armed forces. In Kyiv, instructors with military experience give basic combat training to civilians wielding wooden replicas of Kalashnikov rifles. In Kharkiv, Ukrainian nationalists rehearse maneuvers at abandoned construction sites. Patriotic Ukrainian media outlets hold up these volunteers as heroes -- meanwhile, they're painted as anti-heroes in Russian state propaganda. For the rest of the world, this civilian mobilization speaks to the fact that a full-fledged war between Russia and Ukraine is a very real prospect. Here's what this combat training looks like.

A winter storm threatens New England and the Mid-Atlantic. In Kyiv, Ukrainians are standing firm in the face of Russian aggression. Wall Street is reacting to uncertainty, and many experts see a normal correction in this week's wild stock market swings.

For Erika's mom, who fled Ukraine as a child with her family after World War II, ballet was an important of their culture.“In Kyiv, (Ukraine), and in Russia, ballet is almost like the movies here," says Erika. "The state really supports ballet. Little schoolchildren are brought to see productions. And so, I think that my mother's father instilled this respect for ballet in my mother.”Erika went on to have a long career in ballet. Now, she's a development coordinator on the major gifts team with University Development and Alumni Relations at UC Berkeley. She takes ballet classes when she has the time, and says it connects her to part of herself and her Ukrainian culture like nothing else can.(This episode was first released in 2019. When it came out, Erika had a different position with University Development and Alumni Relations.) Listen to the episode, read a transcript and see photos on Berkeley News.
