Ostap Ukrainats was born in 1994 in Kalush, Ivano-Frankivsk in western Ukraine. He graduated from the National Kyiv-Mohyla University with BA and MA degrees in comparative literature. He made his debut as a writer in 2017 with the novel "Malchut", which was hailed the "debut of the year" by Village magazine. Since then, his novels „Trance” and „Crusade Chancellery” were well received by readers. Ostap writes in the genre of historical and peculiar fiction, often referring to cultural heritage and history of anecdotes. He lives in Lviv. Of his four novels, three are dedicated to historical events and explore Ukrainian identity through the prism of postcolonial and trauma studies. A year before the invasion, he opened a publishing house specializing in humanities with his wife and their colleague.----------LINKS:https://willadecjusza.pl/en/ostap-ukrainets-ostap-ukrayinets-1https://lareviewofbooks.org/contributor/ostap-ukrainets/https://www.instagram.com/ukrostap/https://bookforum.ua/en/participants/9131https://lareviewofbooks.org/short-takes/dont-touch-my-corner-the-war-from-ivano-frankivsk/----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

In 2017, audio producer Phil Smith travelled to Ukraine to attend his friend's wedding. There, somewhere between the cities of Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Odessa, he fell in love with the soundworld of the sleeper train: its steady hypnotic rhythms, the melody of hurtling through time and space, the calls of distant tannoy speakers drifting across platforms in the dead of night, the chorus of snores from sleeping passengers. Revisiting these recordings, seven years later, this Slow Radio journey offers echoes of a country in calmer times, when such trains were not a means of logistics transportation or symbol of desperate escape (as witnessed in the February of 2022) but conduits of restful imagining.From the opening establishing shot - the sound of whistles and shunting engines, off in the distance - we are moved along in a river of wheeled luggage through the cathedral acoustics of a station building to take our seat in the carriage of the overnight train. The scenes are unhurried as bunks are unfolded and brief snatches of conversation overheard. We set off - a gentle accelerando of wheels and rails - and time stretches: there are no voices now, just the music of the train's motion through the night.Produced by Phil Smith A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3

« The Art of Radiant » revient sur le travail de Tony Valente, mangaka français, et sa série à succès « Radiant », qui fête cette année ses 10 ans. Un livre à retrouver aux éditions Ankama. Il est un peu le Shogun du Shonen. Mais un Shogun français, une espèce plus que rare. Il est, en effet, le seul et unique mangaka français à s'être fait une place au Soleil Levant, dans le temple mondial du manga et de l'animé qu'est le Japon. Depuis 2018, la chaîne publique de télévision NHK diffuse, en effet, les épisodes de « Radiant », une série traduite en 20 langues, et qui fête cette année ses 10 ans. Plus qu'une semaine à attendre la sortie du Tome 18 en librairie. Et en attendant, la communauté des fans de Radiant a de quoi patienter avec le 1er Art-Book de Tony Valente. « The Art of Radiant » est publié chez Ankama. Tony Valente est l'invité de VMDN.Café Polar : Catherine Fruchon nous présente l'essayiste Pierre Bayard, inventeur de la critique policière qui, dans son nouveau livre « Hitchcock s'est trompé » (Minuit), démontre que dans « Fenêtre sur cour » l'assassin n'est pas celui que l'on croit.Reportage : -  Solène Gardré a rencontré Bintou Camara, une artiste fan de Tony Valente depuis près de 10 ans.- En dépit de la guerre entre l'Ukraine et la Russie, la Biennale de Kiev s'expose dans les villes de Kiev, Ivano-Frankivsk et Oujhorod, mais aussi dans des villes à l'étranger. Isaure Hiace s'est rendu à celle de Kiev.

La cinquième édition de la Biennale de Kiev est internationale : du fait de la guerre, elle ne se tient pas seulement à Kiev, mais aussi à Ivano-Frankivsk, Oujhorod, ainsi que hors des frontières de lʹUrkaine : à Varsovie en Pologne, à Berlin en Allemagne, et surtout, à Vienne en Autriche, qui accueille lʹexposition principale jusquʹau 17 décembre. Visite et explications avec la journaliste Isaure Hiace en direct de Vienne.

100 years ago, few in Western Europe cared about Ukraine – or its disappearance as an independent state – swallowed up as the newly born tyranny of the USSR flexed its imperial muscles; but that has now changed. Putin's Russian World revanchism and violence have accelerated the evolution of Ukrainian identity and increased the pressure for social, political, and economic change. Perhaps the most perverse Russian invasion narrative, is that Ukraine is not old, and is not distinct from Russia in any case. But Ukraine is not just a footnote to Russian imperial history. And at the end of this war, Ukraine could prove to be the rock upon which the decrepit, brittle hull of the Russian imperial ship tears itself apart and sinks from history. ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- Kateryna Babkina is a Ukrainian poet, short story writer, novelist, playwright, and screenwriter.

In this special edition of *Silo Busting,* Elaina Shekhter, EPAM's Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer, interviews Stepan Mitish, VP and Head of Ukraine, about how his role shifted from being a leader navigating war-time crises to a leader embracing the challenges of the business world. Mitish says that the year 2022 was so filled with extreme challenges that he and his team can count it as “three or five years of experience.” He says the experience truly seasoned his team: “We understood what a great team means, not just in theory.” In hindsight, Mitish says, the experience puts COVID in perspective: “At that time, it was something catastrophical… but now you recall it with a smile on your face,” says Mitish. Mitish talks about how he and his team started preparation for a potential war quite before it actually happened, creating a very solid business continuity plan (BCP). But if you ask whether he believed it would happen: “I didn't, and even now, for me it's hard to accept how could anybody in the 21st century do what actually was done.” He tells the harrowing story of how it began very, very early morning. Lots of messages pouring in from areas under attack. “It was very loud night and morning,” he says it was all about the quiet evacuation of our people to so-called shelters in the western part of Ukraine. Vinnytsia. Lviv. Ivano-Frankivsk. Uzhhorod. At the beginning of the war, he was orchestrating 15,000 employees but they were working as one. He says that after a week, “I was afraid to start hearing a lot of complaints from our clients about failed delivery, non-delivery in services.” Instead, he received emails from clients “who were praising our teams for working days and nights and even delivering planned releases.” By the second or third week, everyone understood that Russia could not do a “so-called blitzkrieg in three days” and that it wasn't “possible to break Ukrainians and to break EPAM in Ukraine.” He says: “Despite all the challenges, all the craziness that was going on,” he and his team continued to deliver. Relentlessly. “People were doing incredible, heroic things on the ground, but also doing delivery from bomb shelters and various faraway locations where people ended up moving to in order to avoid actually being in the midst of ongoing attacks,” says Shekhter. “From your point of view, why do you think they did it?” Mitish says it was a combination of two things: (a) “Probably it's part of Ukrainian values or DNA to be very much focused on results;” and (b) “We don't have any other home and we understand that we fight for our lives, for our workplaces, for our families. And if not me, then who's going to do that?” So where are we now in Ukraine? “I believe that the worst, worst days are already behind us,” says Mitish who wants to encourage our clients and future clients to support Ukraine to bring more business there. “I strongly believe that once this war is over and Ukraine wins, there will be a huge queue of those companies' investors… and if you're going to be on the end of the queue, probably it will be much harder to find the best talent for you and your business.” You'll want to listen to our resilient colleague tell his amazing story.

One day in 2006, in a noisy café in Ukraine, Mike thought he had just met a survivor of the Holocaust massacre that destroyed his mother's family. He turned out also to be a veteran of Israel's War of Independence, now bitterly rejecting Israel's occupation of Palestine, telling his family there was no hope and they should leave.   This incident, captured in sound, sums up the contradictions Mike discovers in this epic journey. Working to uncover his Holocaust inheritance, he is led relentlessly to discovering his Nakba inheritance. It turns out the two different catastrophes are very connected. But can they both be heard and understood?   With unique personal testimony, recordings, letters and memories by those who survived and those who did not, this challenging audio series is devised, dramatised and narrated by broadcaster Mike Joseph. PLACE NAMES When the place names in Keys get confusing, these notes will help. Mike's grandparents came from Galicia, a part of eastern Europe on no modern map. Today some of Galicia is southeast Poland, another part is western Ukraine. Galicia no longer exists. In the last century, many of Galicia's Jews, Ukrainians and Poles also ceased to exist, violently, as their province was repeatedly ruptured by the front lines of two World Wars, genocide and ethnic cleansing. Before 1918, Galicia was the Austro-Hungarian Empire's most eastern province. Its capital was Lemberg (German) = Lwów (Polish) = Lviv (Ukrainian).   Three names, but one city. Further south, Mike's grandfather grew up in Stanislau (German); left Stanislaviv (Ukrainian) in 1918 for a better life in Germany; deported back to Stanisławów (Polish) in 1938, which became Stanislaviv (Ukrainian) in 1939; killed in Stanislau (German) in 1941. Before Mike first visited that city in 1999, the Soviet Union renamed it Ivano-Frankovsk (Russian). Today the place where he found his grandfather's surviving colleagues and allies is called Ivano-Frankivsk (Ukrainian). Five names, but one city. Fatima Abu Salem grew up in the thriving Palestinian village of Burayr, at crossroads leading to Gaza, Hebron and Beersheba. Today a few ruins of Burayr are surrounded by the fields of kibbutz Bro'r Hayyil.   Two names, but one place. Place names matter. How we name places reveals our own histories, identities and yearnings.

C dans l'air du 3 août - Ukraine : "la guerre revient en Russie" PRÉSENTATION : Maya LAUQUÉ LES EXPERTS : - ELSA VIDAL - Rédactrice en chef de la rédaction en langue russe - RFI - FRÉDÉRIC ENCEL - Docteur en géopolitique - Maître de conférences à Sciences Po Paris et Paris School of Business - Auteur de « Petites leçons de diplomatie » - GÉNÉRAL CHRISTOPHE GOMART - Ancien directeur du renseignement militaire - Ex-commandant des opérations spéciales - CHRISTINE DUGOIN-CLÉMENT - Chercheure à la chaire Risques - Université Paris 1-Sorbonne "La guerre arrive en Russie, dans ses centres stratégiques et ses bases militaires". C'est ce qu'a affirmé dimanche dernier le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky après l'attaque de drones qui a visé un quartier d'affaires à Moscou. "C'est un processus inévitable, naturel et absolument juste", a-t-il déclaré lors de son adresse quotidienne, en marge d'une visite à Ivano-Frankivsk. Volodymyr Zelensky se montre convaincu que l'Ukraine "devient plus forte". Dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche, une attaque de drones ukrainiens contre Moscou a en effet été déjouée, sans faire de victimes, et l'aéroport international de la capitale brièvement fermé. Selon le ministère russe de la Défense, l'un des appareils a été abattu et les deux autres, "neutralisés par la guerre électronique", se sont écrasés sur deux tours de bureaux du principal quartier d'affaires de la ville. Plusieurs fenêtres de ces bâtiments ont été soufflées, des poutres en acier rendues visibles et des documents éparpillés au sol, selon un photographe de l'AFP. Une nouvelle attaque ukrainienne de drones contre Moscou et sa région a également été déjouée par la Russie tôt ce mardi. L'un de ces engins a percuté une des tours de bureaux déjà touchée le week-end dernier. Sur le terrain, les Ukrainiens sont à l'assaut mais les opérations semblent s'enliser. Sur l'immense ligne de front, les défenses russes, particulièrement denses, ont globalement tenu depuis le début de la contre-offensive de Kiev, lancée au début du mois de juin. Les autorités russes elles-mêmes évoquent des "attaques massives", qu'elles estiment avoir "repoussées". L'Institute for the Study of War, basé à Washington, observe cependant dans la région de Zaporijjia, au Sud, une avancée de 2,5 km des forces ukrainiennes, qui auraient ensuite légèrement reculé. Deux responsables du Pentagone cités par le New York Times rapportent quant à eux que l'Ukraine pourrait être entrée dans "la phase principale" de sa contre-offensive. Deux mois après le début de cette opération censée repousser les troupes de Moscou hors d'Ukraine, Kiev affirme avoir repris environ 200 km² de son territoire. C'est bien moins qu'à l'automne dernier, quand les troupes ukrainiennes avaient dégagé l'emprise russe autour de Kharkiv, au Nord, et repoussé l'armée de Moscou derrière le Dniepr à Kherson, au Sud du pays. Si le front ne bouge pas beaucoup, les combats sont d'une grande violence. Une séquence impressionnante est récemment venue l'illustrer. Sur des images filmées au drone par un pilote ukrainien, on voit un soldat russe, pris au piège seul dans une tranchée, décider de retourner son arme vers lui et de se suicider pour ne pas être capturé, alors que des cadavres d'autres soldats russes se trouvent à ses côtés. L'ancien président russe Dmitri Medvedev, qui a déjà plusieurs fois évoqué le spectre d'un conflit nucléaire sur fond de guerre en Ukraine, a réitéré ses menaces dimanche dernier : si la contre-offensive ukrainienne en cours était couronnée de succès, "nous serions obligés d'utiliser une arme nucléaire", a-t-il averti. À Moscou, on s'inquiète. En manque d'effectifs, l'armée russe cherche à se doter de nouvelles recrues dans la perspective d'une prolongation du conflit en Ukraine. La Douma, la Chambre basse du Parlement, a ainsi adopté le 25 juillet dernier une série d'amendements prévoyant l'appel sous les drapeaux d'environ 1,5 million de recrues supplémentaires d'ici à 2025. Après avoir été approuvée par le Sénat russe et signée par Vladimir Poutine, la loi entrera en vigueur au 1er janvier 2024. Principale nouveauté, l'âge maximum de la conscription est passé de 27 ans à 30 ans. De plus, afin d'éviter les départs en masse à l'étranger des hommes en âge de servir, la surveillance sera renforcée. Désormais, ces derniers sont dans l'impossibilité de quitter le territoire au moment même où ils reçoivent leur convocation pour le bureau d'enrôlement. Depuis, plusieurs attaques contre des centres de conscriptions ont été observées. Une vidéo publiée par les médias d'Etat officiels russes montre une personne inconnue s'approcher d'un bureau de recrutement de Saint-Pétersbourg pour y mettre le feu. Le média russe Mediazona a compté au moins onze attaques de ce type dans la nuit du lundi 31 juillet au mardi 1er août. Loin des combats, des enfants ukrainiens sont accueillis en colonie de vacances en France, près de Vesoul. Une parenthèse pour essayer d'oublier la guerre qui sévit dans leur pays et frappe parfois au cœur de leur famille. Les attaques en Russie vont-elles se multiplier ? Où en est la contre-offensive de Kiev, lancée en avril dernier ? L'armée russe va-t-elle craquer face à la pression des forces ukrainiennes ?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a stern warning to Russia following a recent drone attack. Zelenskyy's remarks came during his visit to  Ivano-Frankivsk in western Ukraine, as he asserted that the region was growing stronger in the face of Russian aggression.  UK correspondent Gavin Grey says this marks a major sea change in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and Zelenskyy is clearly infuriated after over 500 days of war.

Ivano Frankivsk is a beautiful Medieval city, in western Ukraine. Near the city, in the Carpathian Mountains, is a small hospital where surgeries on wounded soldiers brought from the front are performed and their physical rehabilitation is overseen. Most of the patients are in treatment for crushed and lost limbs. These warriors face months and years of psychological therapy long after their orthopedic injuries have healed. At First Volunteer surgical hospital, a unique, robust program is in place to care for the emotional and social wounds of military patients. The recovering soldiers have access to activities that include trips to film, music and theater performances, pastoral walks and time to sit by one of the region's pristine rivers. Inside the hospital English classes game nights and group therapy sessions take place on a regular schedule. The hospital staff fully participates in all activities alongside the patients and their interactions create a strong sense of family throughout the campus. One of the most popular programs offered by the hospital takes place at a local horse farm. Conceived of and built by young German entrepreneur Matthias Hopfner, the farm is a haven for horses and other barnyard animals rescued from the front. Thousands of animals have been injured, abandoned, and starved as a consequence of the Russian invasion. Hopfner's program brings hope and comfort to all sentient beings involved in this ingenious project. American reporter and photographer Patrick Patterson visited the hospital recently and I spoke to him about the equine program and other restoratives offered at Ukraine's First Volunteer Surgical Hospital.

Urban Space Radio was started by the NGO Teple Misto ("Warm City") in the western Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankivsk in 2015. Initially the media platform only offered popular music produced by Ukrainian musicians, but added podcasts in 2018. CEO Nadiia Hulchuk talks about the history of the media platform and its efforts to bring together, inform and entertain Ukrainians around the country and abroad. https://urbanspaceradio.com/

Even if the war in Ukraine ended tomorrow, the country's humanitarian needs would be colossal. Around 6.3 million people are displaced internally, with many still living in communal shelters not suited to the coming winter. While fighting rages on mostly in Ukraine's east and south east, the effects of war reverberate throughout the rest of the country, which has no choice but to adapt to a “new normal” amid a continuing war.In this last episode of Season Three of War & Peace, Olga OIiker and Elissa Jobson are joined by Alissa de Carbonnel, Crisis Group's Deputy Europe and Central Asia Director, and Simon Schlegel, Senior Ukraine Analyst, to learn how life goes on in wartime Kyiv and western Ukraine. Alissa and Simon – back from a recent visit to Kyiv, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, as well as smaller towns outside the regional capitals – share stories of displaced people whose lives have been turned upside down by Russia's invasion and volunteer humanitarian workers finding creative solutions to an ever-changing set of problems. They talk about their experience crossing the Polish border at Przemyśl, travelling through western regions and onto Kyiv. They recount what they saw: men and women lining up outside military recruitment offices, gyms and school halls converted into shelters for the displaced, and building windows sandbagged due to the threat of Russian airstrikes. As Ukraine adapts to this new reality, Alissa and Simon outline the enormous challenges of an emergency response for millions of people in need spread across one of the largest countries in Europe, where war is still raging.For more about the war in Ukraine, make sure to check out Crisis Group's Ukraine country page.

Os EUA prometeram esta terça-feira mover "o céu e a terra" para ajudar a Ucrânia a vencer a guerra contra a Rússia. A promessa surgiu durante o encontro de vários ministros da Defesa da NATO e da União Europeia na base aérea Ramstein, na Alemanha. O secretário-geral da ONU, António Guterres, visita esta terça-feira Moscovo onde se vai encontrar com o Presidente russo, Vladimir Putin, e com o chefe da diplomacia russa, Sergei Lavrov, no contexto da ofensiva russa em curso na Ucrânia. RFI: Dois meses depois do início da Invasão Russa na Ucrânia, José Pedro Frazão, em serviço especial para a RFI, estás aí há quase um mês. Como é que descreves o estado do país e dos ucranianos? José Pedro Frazão: Os ucranianos são um povo extremamente unido nesta guerra. A mobilização é geral, os voluntários procuram o seu lugar em todas as formas desta guerra, seja fornecendo pequenos materiais para o exército, quer no caso dos homens em idade de combate, para a chamadas tropas de defesa territorial. Eles próprios tomam armas para fazer patrulhamento em zonas, ajudando os militares nesta matéria. Os ucranianos estão convencidos de que vão vencer esta guerra contra a Ucrânia, que estão imbuídos de um forte espírito nacional e essa confiança vai arpar também de um conjunto de pedidos feitos ao longo das últimas semanas, no sentido de um reforço militar ocidental face à Ucrânia. Esse reforço tem surgido e permite à Ucrânia defender-se cada vez melhor das ofensivas russas e contra-atacar. É uma guerra e portanto a Ucrânia também contra-ataca posições russas. Os russos estão sobretudo no sul, no sudeste e no leste da Ucrânia. As principais cidades estão a salvo da presença terrestre russa, mas têm sido alvo de bombardeamentos com mísseis, lançados a alguma distância por posições russas. A situação de alguma carência humanitária tem vindo a ser suprida pelas Nações Unidas e também por uma rede bastante efectiva do ponto de vista local com organizações não governamentais a fazerem esse trabalho. Há várias questões que se levantam, uma delas a Ucrânia pode vencer esta guerra, uma guerra muito patriótica do lado da dos ucranianos. Qual é o ponto de ruptura a teu ver entre os dois campos? O material é importante, claro, mas a questão psicológica e a moral, como descrevias, ainda mais.  Sim. As notícias têm que ser lidas com algum cuidado, de um lado e do outro. Quer do ponto de vista ucraniano, quer do ponto de vista russo. Há muita informação contra informação e a natural propaganda, que sempre existe nas guerras. Do lado ucraniano, por exemplo, descreve-se que o moral das tropas russas é baixa, do lado russo também se descreve que os ucranianos se recusam a ir para zonas de combate. Seja como for, do ponto de vista estritamente militar, o poder aéreo russo faz bastante diferença. Os bombardeamentos através de mísseis lançados longa distância vão sobressaltando nas principais cidades e a população civil, nalguns casos, apenas só durante a noite, o que implica noites em branco para muitos cidadãos da Ucrânia. A maior parte dos alvos, na primeira fase da guerra, foram sobretudo estratégicos, militares e públicos, mas há também nas últimas semanas mais edifícios residenciais de população civil a serem atingidas. Isso acaba por dar também mais força aos ucranianos neste combate. Há uma questão muito relevante, tem a ver com a retirada de civis das zonas de combate. Há civis ucranianos que estão a ser retirados para o lado russo. Na Ucrânia diz-se que estão a ser forçados a sair para a Rússia, para autênticos campos de concentração. Não é possível confirmar de forma independente essa informação. Temos ouvido as difíceis condições dos corredores humanitários a partir de zonas do leste, com muita dificuldade para retirar pessoas. Eu falei com algumas, algumas saem destas zonas sob tiros e não é nada seguro sair nestes corredores humanitários. Estamos a falar sobretudo de mulheres, de pessoas idosas e de crianças porque os homens não não estão a sair. Nalgumas cidades, como no sul, um dos testemunhos que recolhia nos últimos dias, os homens estão a ser obrigados a listarem-se pelo lado russo e a combaterem os seus compatriotas ucranianos. Alguns ucranianos fogem para o ocidente outros, como descrevias, forçados a ir para a Rússia. Os civis não têm para onde ir? Os ucranianos que estão a sair da zona do leste distribuem-se um pouco por toda a Ucrânia sobretudo no centro e no oeste. Ao longo deste processo, muitos foram para cidades como Kiev, mas depois sobretudo acabaram por se localizar mais em cidades do ocidente como Lviv ou Ivano-Frankivsk.  Como sabemos desde o início desta guerra, existe uma fracção, quetem procurado outros países que se imitam, nomeadamente, à Polónia. Há uma fracção bastante significativa, estamos a falar de quatro a cinco milhões de pessoas, que depois acabam por ou ficar na Polónia ou seguir para outros países da Europa Central. As redes de ucranianos, por exemplo, na Polónia existem e também na Hungria, devido a migrações anteriores e portanto essas pessoas, na maior parte dos casos, começaram por ficar em casas de familiares. Nalgumas cidades começam a surgir uma espécie de aldeias de contentores para receber esses ucranianos. O mesmo acontece na Ucrânia ocidental, inicialmente todos foram muito para a cidade de Lviv, mas depois todas as autarquias acabaram por se organizar de forma a receber em vários pontos estes ucranianos deslocados dentro do próprio país, com a esperança de poderem regressar; Alguns já começam a regressar a normalidade, já começa a surgir em cidades como Kievpor, por exemplo ou também Odessa, no sul do país. Já estiveste em Odessa. Agora estás nos arredores de Kiev. Como é que descreves o dia-a-dia aí? Eu percorri a Ucrânia toda. Na verdade, fiz duas viagens à Ucrânia. Uma primeira onde passei mais tempo em Lviv, na Ucrânia Ocidental, e agora numa segunda fase percorri toda a zona leste da Ucrânia, em Kharkivem, em Dnipro, em Nikolaev e Odessa. São situações muito diferentes. Enquanto em Kharkivem, como tenho descrito para a RFI, está tudo pronto para um combate terrestre com barricadas colocadas um pouco em todos os pontos estratégicos da cidade, em todos os cruzamentos. Há pneus amontoados para poderem fazer as posições de defesa. Em Odessa, há uma situação perfeitamente normal. Uma cidade mais normalizada, onde as pessoas aparentemente estão mais despreocupadas.  Sendo que no último fim-de-semana, a queda de um míssil sobre uma zona residencial assustou muito as pessoas de Odessa. O mesmo acontece frequentemente à cidade de Lviv, no início estava aparentemente segura, mas também acaba por sofrer um impacto, psicológico com a queda de alguns mísseis, sobretudo em alvos relacionados com zonas industriais e nalgumas instalações ferroviárias de mercadorias. Nas restantes cidades como Dnipro, depois de uma grande pressão inicial, está um pouco mais estabilizada. A situação mais complicada que vivi e observei foi  em Kharkivem, a segunda cidade na Ucrânia, extremamente pressionada com bombardeamentos constantes. A diplomacia russa fala de perigo real de uma nova guerra mundial. António Guterres, o secretário-geral das Nações Unidas, vai encontrar-se com o Putin. O que é que procura a Rússia? E o que é que procura  Vladimir Putin? Procuram assustar? A Terceira Guerra Mundial tem que ser cruzada com um outro perigo que se fala menos hoje, que é o dia do aniversário do acidente de Chernobyl. Hoje há um conjunto de ataques com mísseis a baixa altitude na zona de Zaporizhzhia, onde há uma central nuclear que é, de resto, a maior central nuclear ucraniana. Esse perigo, de utilização de armas químicas e nucleares têm vindo a ser avançado pelo lado ocidental e também pela Ucrânia. Até agora não há nota de que tenha acontecido, apesar das preparações que existem aqui do lado ucraniano. Do ponto de vista diplomático, há duas ou três linhas que têm que ser aqui clarificadas. A primeira tem que ver com a mediação em relação à paz. Claramente que a Turquia está na dianteira e, por isso, o secretário-geral das Nações Unidas esteve na Turquia para encontros com Erdogan. As decisões têm estado paradas ao longo das últimas três semanas, depois de reuniões que ocorreram do ponto de vista físico. Há algumas conversações virtuais. Há contactos entre ambas as partes em relação a duas áreas. Uma tem a ver com a troca de prisioneiros. Tem acontecido quatro ou cinco trocas de prisioneiros entre a Rússia e a Ucrânia e depois a negociação dos corredores humanitários. É aqui que entra o secretário-geral da ONU, a Ucrânia pede a Guterres pressão junto da Rússia para que abra corredores humanitários seguros, uma vez que a Ucrânia  não acredita que os russos providenciem segurança suficiente para estes corredores humanitários, nomeadamente, a partir de Mariupol. Do lado russo há também uma desconfiança em relação a António  Guterres porque consideram que desde o início, o secretário-geral das Nações Unidas não é um mediador equilibrado e está do lado da Ucrânia. Por sua vez, a Ucrânia também não está totalmente satisfeita com António Guterres e digamos que a missão do secretário-geral da ONU é difícil sobretudo num contexto da ONU em que o verdadeiro poder está no Conselho de Segurança, onde a Rússia é um dos países com direito de veto. Os Estados Unidos convocaram para hoje uma reunião com os aliados. A Alemanha recebe cerca de quarenta países os europeus que dão apoio material sobretudo ao Ucrânia para se defender da Rússia. Segundo muito analistas a Rússia está a patinar há dois meses. Podemos dizer, José Pedro, que o exército hierárquico russo é um exército do XX, que luta contra civis ucranianos do século XXI? Existem algumas carências do exército russo. Uma delas diz respeito às comunicações. Tanto quando julgo ter percebido de algumas conversas aqui na Ucrânia e com alguns analistas militares, por exemplo, ao nível das comunicações é possível interceptar muitas comunicações do lado russo porque por parte dos ucranianos. É preciso dizer que na Ucrânia fala-se russo de forma fluente ou seja é uma língua quase equivalente à ucraniana e portanto é muito fácil entender russo. Essas comunicações digamos mais do século XX, ainda persistem nos contingentes militares russos. De resto, os ucranianos foram abastecidos de materiais recentes de intercepção de comunicações por  alguns ocidentais. Os aliados ocidentais não foram apenas fornecendo carros de combate, tanques ou defesa anti-aérea, mas também equipamentos sofisticados de comunicação ao mais alto nível e com formação dada. Essa é uma desvantagem, digamos assim, para o lado russo que consegue contrabalançar com o poderio de mísseis, com alcance a longa distância. Na verdade a estratégia militar russa parece ser disparar em várias direcções, em vários pontos da Ucrânia, de forma a que a Ucrânia esteja permanentemente em alerta do ponto de vista antia-éreo, não se podendo concentrar em toda a sua defesa, por exemplo no Donbass, na zona do leste da Ucrânia, onde os principais combates decorrem. Hoje, 26 de Abril, a Ucrânia está destruída sem saber de quando é que esta guerra termina? Sim, as opiniões dividem. Há quem acredite que a guerra vai terminar dentro de duas semanas, mas isso é uma referência ao dia 9 de Maio. O dia 9 de Maio é um dia importante para os russos porque assinala a vitória sobre a Alemanha Nazi. Putin quererá fazer um ponto de situação e apresentar uma vitória ao povo russo, que poderá ser, por exemplo, conquista de Mariupol ou noutras perspectivas, mais gravosas, poderá ser a conquista terrestre de todo o sul até Odessa. Há um outro cenário, por exemplo, eu falei com o presidente da câmara de Nikolaev que nos dizia que achava que a guerra iria durar mais um ano. Seria uma guerra longa e portanto eles estão preparados para todas as eventualidades. O espírito é bastante positivo do lado ucraniano. Devo dizer que é isso que se transparece das conversas quer com militares, quer com responsáveis políticos. Seja como for, há outras consequências do ponto de vista económico: as culturas agrícolas que têm que ser escoadas. Os portos estão fechados e portanto não é fácil, aliás, é praticamente impossível escoar grandes quantidades de, por exemplo, produtos agrícolas ou outras matérias da indústria ucraniana. Por outro lado, a própria indústria ucraniana vai sendo bombardeada. Refinarias, centrais termo-elétricas, infraestruturas de eletricidade, algumas infra-estruturas ferroviárias. Estamos a falar de estruturas que vão demorar o seu tempo a ser reconstruídas. Vai demorar ainda algum tempo até a Ucrânia levantar-se e a própria ONU, através do seu programa alimentar mundial, também nos diz que prepara uma operação de longo prazo na Ucrânia a partir de agora.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is affecting scientists in many different ways. Here is a conversation with Dmytro Gospodaryov, a researcher in the department of biochemistry and biotechnology at  Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University in Ivano-Frankivsk, West Ukraine. I spoke to him shortly after the Russian invasion in Ukraine began. And it feels like that was so very long ago. He is ok and safe and still in Ukraine with his family. 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Brussels for NATO meetings today. State Department spokesman Ned Price talks to Leila Fadel about objectives that could include tougher sanctions on Russia. And in Ivano-Frankivsk, in the western part of Ukraine, a bakery that shuttered for two weeks during the war has resumed business. As Scott Detrow reports, it even employs Ukrainians displaced from other parts of the country.

Victor’s Vignettes … Stories about Life in soviet and post-soviet Ukraine.-by Victor SergeyevMikolayev, UkraineThe Music Of My Childhood — 1966-1975When it came to music listening in soviet Ukraine, we always had choices.We could tune in on radio receivers to hear soundtracks of the two available TV channels, the state-controlled Moscow channel and the pro-Moscow Kiev channel. Or we could create a cultural environment of our own … underground.Of course, the latter choice was by far the most popular.Not that it was easy.In official stores only government-sanctioned goods were available for purchase. So radio receivers came without 19 and 25 meter bands, to block transmissions of Voice of America and BBC channels.But where there is a will, there is always a way.There was the black market, occasional trips abroad, and of course we could always build our own radios. As well, there were old WWII trophy German radios around, or you could buy good Japanese tape recorders with built-in radios.As I said, we had choices.My home town of Nikolaev is a sea port … and for me, it was a window to the world.The seamen always brought home plenty of vinyl disks from their trips abroad. So, for as long as I can remember, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Slade and other prominent names in western pop culture have been part of my consciousness.The all-union company “Melodia” in far away Moscow of course tried to control our musical preferences. It was a useless exercise.The selection in the Moscow-controlled store numbered in the mere hundreds of discs… all, naturally, carrying the label “Melodia.”The black market, however, offered thousands upon thousands of discs from all over the world – the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Spain, France. Even socialist countries like Poland, Romania, and the former Yugoslavia.Our local black market had a name … ‘Skhod’ which means “gathering.” Skhod existed according to its own rules, independent of any authorities. It took place once a week, on Sundays, and it was a ‘sacred dream’ for music collectors like me.But contraband is never cheap. The cost of just 3 foreign vinyl disks was equal to the monthly salary of an engineer. Therefore we would copy the disks and share the music. We used ordinary tape recorders, as magenetic tapes were relatively inexpensive and easy to come by.Sometimes we wondered if we were being disloyal to our heritage by embracing foreign culture as we did. But Ukrainian culture was suppressed by Soviet authorities, with only fragments remaining. We knew of some Ukrainian singers and songwriters, but they were loyal to the Soviet regime. And of course, anything or anyone bearing Moscow’s stamp of approval held no interest for us.In those days I was vaguely aware that in Western Ukraine, in places like Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukrainian culture remained strong. But, unfortunately, those cities were too far away to have any influence on us.Taras Shevchenko, Mykhailo Kotsiubinsky, Ivan Franko, Ostap Vyshnia, Volodymyr Ivasiuk, Sofia Rotaru and others were of course known names to us. But they were only relics of Ukrainian culture. Ancient history … throwbacks to the past. All meant to be forgotten.Now every day it becomes more clear just how much of our cultural heritage is lost to us forever… due both to soviet oppressors and the purveyors of western pop culture.At least young people today have more choices, and better ones. I hope they choose wisely.These are the words of Victor Sergeyev in Mikolayev, See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The events she covers, for example, the Chernobyl disaster and the Second World War, are just a pretext for exploring what history does to the individual and where individual life intersects with the course of historical events."What she is really interested in is the soul of events, of the inner life of individuals, that's what she has been uncovering book after book.”Alexievich was born on May 31, 1948 in the Ukrainian town of Ivano-Frankivsk, the daughter of a Belarusian father and a Ukrainian mother.
