Honderden Oekraïners demonstreerden gisteravond in de hoofdstad Kyiv, in het westelijke Lviv en in de zuidelijke havenstad Odesa tegen een wet die de onafhankelijkheid van twee belangrijke anticorruptiediensten beperkt. De mensen maken zich grote zorgen over de aantasting van al het goede werk dat de afgelopen jaren is gedaan ter bestrijding van de corruptie, zegt correspondent Chris Colijn. ‘Het gaat om corruptiebestrijdingsdiensten die door de overheid worden gefinancierd, maar juist de corruptie binnen de overheid moeten aanpakken.'

South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing? Or will President Lee maintain strategies similar to that of President Yoon?To discuss ROK-China relations, and President Lee's approach to this intricate issue, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Ramon Pacheco-Pardo. He is a professor of international relations at King's College London and the KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Center for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy in the Brussels School of Governance. He is also an adjunct fellow with the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the author of several books on the domestic affairs and foreign policy of South and North Korea.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:44] “[P]ragmatic diplomacy centered on national interests”[05:06] State of Play for Sino-South Korean Relations[09:56] Balancing Between the United States and China[14:47] China Taking Advantage of US-ROK Frictions [19:03] Economic Interdependence as a Leverage[25:39] Xi Jinping Attending APEC South Korea 2025[31:11] American Pressure on Allies to Protect Taiwan

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine's capital.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports Russia has hammered the sky over Ukraine's capital, hours before Kyiv's allies met to discuss more military aid.

Joe Lindsley is a traveler and a writer, and American who was reporting for Chicago's WGN Radio from Ukraine each and every weekday of Russia's full-scale war. He once was protégé to Fox News founder Roger Ailes, but Lindsley escaped that frenzied world where power mattered more than truth. He came to Lviv for a Ukrainian Catholic University journalism conference on Information Overload, AI, and Responsibility. Then the pandemic shut down world travel, and he stayed to build a better vision for the media industry.----------DESCRIPTION:Navigating U.S. Support for Ukraine: Insights from Joseph Lindsley In this episode, Joseph Lindsley returns to discuss his daily reporting from Ukraine during the war. Highlighting his conservative stance and mission to inject truthful messages into U.S. conservative circles, Lindsley underscores the importance of influencing current power dynamics in support of Ukraine. They cover the experiences of Kyiv's recent calm interrupted by intense Russian attacks, the trauma left behind, and discussions about a potential awakening in Washington. Lindsley addresses being labeled as partisan while advocating for Ukraine, emphasizing the need to appeal to those in power. Key topics include Trump's perceived change in stance towards Ukraine, the importance of understanding MAGA's anti-war sentiment, and strategies to communicate Ukraine's actions and innovations effectively to the American public. The episode also features discussions on Russian propaganda, Ukraine's internal politics, and the significance of timely U.S. military support.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Welcome Back Joseph Lindsley 01:10 Current Situation in Kyiv02:01 Conservative Voices and Ukraine03:22 Trump's Influence and MAGA06:22 Ukraine's Innovation and Military Strategy16:10 Media Criticism and Russian Propaganda19:44 Ukraine's Political Strategy25:51 The Importance of American Support28:19 Distrust in Washington and Ukraine's Common Ground28:39 Challenges in Convincing MAGA Supporters29:47 Ukraine's Struggle Against Russian Propaganda31:39 The Forever War Dilemma36:56 Ukraine's Technological Edge and Innovation43:20 The 50-Day Ultimatum for Putin50:03 Strategic Communication and Persuasion----------LINKS:https://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/donation/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Lindsleyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-lindsley-60087618/https://www.youtube.com/@jplindsleyhttps://twitter.com/JPLindsleyhttps://www.instagram.com/jplindsley/https://www.facebook.com/josephlindsleyhttps://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/ ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Israel targets Syria's Sweida in new strike "Israel has launched a new air strike in southern Syria's Sweida city. The attack late on Thursday targeted the outskirts of the city. The strike came a day after the Syrian Interior Ministry confirmed a new ceasefire agreement in the city, which includes full reintegration of the southern province under central government authority. Israel has been targeting the capital, Damascus, as well as Sweida and Daraa. Meanwhile, the United States has said it opposed its ally Israel's strikes in Syria but did not take up the matter with Tel Aviv. " Israel's bloodbath in Gaza continues "Israel has killed at least 94 Palestinians and wounded 367 others in besieged Gaza over the last 24 hours amid its ongoing genocide in the enclave. The death toll since Israel's resumption of the genocide on March 18 after a two-month truce has also climbed to 7,843, in addition to 27,933 others wounded. The majority of the victims are women and children. Meanwhile, Israel bombed the Catholic Holy Family Church in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood, the only Catholic church in Gaza, killing at least three people and wounding several others including the priest of the church. "Ukraine, US considering major drone deal" "President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are considering a deal that involves Washington buying battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kiev purchasing weapons from the US. Ukrainian drones have been able to strike targets as deep as 1,300 kilometers into Russian territory. Zelenskyy has said drones were the key tool that has allowed his country to fight with Russia's for more than three years." Slovenia bans Ben-Gvir, Smotrich over Gaza's 'unbearable situation' "Slovenia has become the first EU member state to formally declare two Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich as persona non grata, citing their role in what it called the ""unbearable situation"" in Gaza. Slovenia's move follows its June recognition of the State of Palestine. Meanwhile Belgium is mulling to impose sanctions against Israel if the humanitarian situation in Gaza does not improve." G20 finance chiefs meet under tariff cloud in South Africa "South Africa has urged G20 countries to provide global and cooperative leadership to tackle challenges, including rising trade barriers, as the bloc's finance chiefs met under the shadow of President Donald Trump's tariff threats. Host South Africa, under its presidency's motto ""Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability"", has aimed to promote a Pan-African agenda, with topics including the high cost of capital and funding for climate crisis action."

The US President has shifted on Ukraine - criticising Putin and facilitating more weapons for Kyiv. Has the Russian leader miscalculated? On Iran, the US has managed to isolate the regime. Domestically, Trump's opponents are still in disarray. Six months in to his second term, is Donald Trump proving his critics wrong? Or is America heading in a sinister direction? Hosted on Acast.

The Ukrainian town of Irpin made international headlines at the outset of Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion when local reservists repelled Russian forces advancing toward Kyiv. But the toll was severe for the town Ukraine has now designated a “hero city.” Hundreds of civilians were killed during Russia's month-long occupation of Irpin, and thousands of buildings were destroyed. Among those was the main campus building of the State Tax University. Now a Bay Area organization is helping to rebuild the university, bringing design and construction ideas that it hopes will be a model for other sites. We'll talk about the project and the multilayered challenges Ukraine faces as it seeks to rebuild while still at war.

For the last year or so, I've traveled regularly to Ukraine to cover the war for The Australian Financial Review.

Sam Bendett of the Center for Naval Analyses joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the latest on the Ukraine war as President Trump agrees to sell weapons to NATO nations to better support Kyiv and warns Moscow that severe sanctions will be imposed by the United States in 50 days unless a peace deal is struck; the evolving nature of the drone war between Ukrainian and Russian forces that include using fishing nets to block small air vehicles; how Ukraine is using UAVs to intercept other UAVs; and analysis of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's new “drone dominance” strategy.

He was elected in 2024 promising to end the war between Russia and Ukraine within 24 hours, and less than six months ago halted the flow of military aid to Kyiv after giving President Zelensky a dressing down in the Oval Office. But Donald Trump now seems to have changed his tune on Ukraine.The President has announced that the US will resume the supply of weapons, via Nato, and also threatened 100pc tariffs on Russia if a deal isn't done. He also later told the BBC that he was "disappointed" in Putin.Camilla and Tim speak to former economic advisor to Donald Trump, Carla Sands, who blames "weak and flabby militaries throughout Europe" and a "feckless" Joe Biden for the current situation in Ukraine, and believes Trump will get a deal despite Putin not being an "honest broker".Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim speak to Conservative MP James Cleverly, who was making a speech in Central London about countering the rise of Reform, and ask him if he's on manoeuvres for a leadership run.Producesr: Lilian Fawcett & Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan Searle Hosted on Acast.

Donald Trump says he's 'disappointed' that Vladimir Putin keeps knocking down buildings in Kyiv despite all the great conversations they are having about ending the war in Ukraine, as the First Lady Melania Trump keeps pointing out to him.So the president is ramping up the threats, offering 'top-of-the-line' weaponry to Ukraine and promising severe tariffs on Russia if there's no ceasefire within 50 days.Is that enough to get Putin to the negotiating table? Or just escalating an intractable conflict? And is Trump even serious about bumping his bestie in Moscow?On the latest episode of The Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by Channel 4 News' International Editor Lindsey Hilsum and historian and author Anne Applebaum.

HAS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SWITCHED SIDES TO KYIV?   3/8: The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History. by  Serhii Plokhy  (Author) 1883 UKRAINE https://www.amazon.com/Russo-Ukrainian-War-Return-History/dp/1324051191 Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war―and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War, offers a definitive account of this conflict, its origins, course, and the already apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault―on February 27, 2014, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament―the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia's ideas and cultures, as well as domestic and international politics, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable, it was predictable. Ukraine, Plokhy argues, has remained central to Russia's idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe.

Ukraine, Plokhy argues, has remained central to Russia's idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe.

C dans l'air du 14 juillet 2025 : Face à Poutine: la France se réarmePRÉSENTATION : Lorrain SÉNÉCHALDes avions, des blindés et des soldats en rangs serrés sur les Champs-Élysées : le défilé du 14-Juillet, qui a mis à l'honneur cette année des militaires prêts à partir en opération, avait des airs de démonstration de force. Avec en toile de fond, un climat géopolitique tendu, une Europe sous pression, et des discours qui sonnent comme des mises en garde. Emmanuel Macron, dans son allocution traditionnelle aux armées dimanche, n'a pas mâché ses mots. "Nous vivons un moment de bascule", a-t-il déclaré, évoquant un monde devenu "plus brutal". Selon lui, jamais la liberté n'a été aussi menacée depuis 1945. Et "jamais, à ce point, la paix sur notre continent n'a dépendu de nos décisions présentes".À la veille de la Fête nationale, le président a annoncé une augmentation inédite du budget de la Défense : 3,5 milliards d'euros supplémentaires en 2026, puis 3 milliards l'année suivante. L'effort financier vise à atteindre, d'ici 2027, un budget de près de 64 milliards d'euros, soit presque le double de celui d'il y a dix ans. Un tournant stratégique assumé dans un contexte où les certitudes d'hier s'effritent, y compris au sein des alliances occidentales. L'Europe est "mise en danger au moment où la guerre a été portée sur notre sol avec l'invasion de l'Ukraine, et que les États-Unis de Donald Trump ont ajouté une forme d'incertitude" quant à la pérennité de leur soutien, a ainsi affirmé Emmanuel Macron. "Face à un monde plus brutal, la Nation doit être plus forte", car "pour être libres dans ce monde, il faut être craints ; pour être craints, il faut être puissants", a insisté le président de la République. Quelques jours plus tôt, le général Thierry Burkhard, chef d'état-major des armées, avait brossé un sombre tableau des menaces, tant internes qu'externes, qui pèsent sur la France, et pointé "une nécessité de prise de conscience" : "La guerre en Europe est déjà là".Pendant ce temps, en Ukraine, les combats se poursuivent sans relâche. Moscou intensifie ses frappes, battant chaque semaine des records en nombre de missiles et de drones tirés. Face à cette escalade, Volodymyr Zelensky avait appelé ses alliés à envoyer « davantage que des signaux » pour stopper la Russie. Dimanche matin, Donald Trump annonçait finalement l'envoi de systèmes antiaériens Patriot, cruciaux pour la défense de Kiev. "Je suis déçu par la Russie. Je ferai une déclaration majeure lundi", lançait-il, sans en dire plus.Sur le terrain, l'armée ukrainienne tente de renforcer ses rangs. Nos journalistes ont suivi la formation des jeunes volontaires ukrainiens qui ont décidé de s'engager avant l'âge de la mobilisation obligatoire. Un programme pour les 18-24 ans lancé par l'armée ukrainienne pour tenter de pallier son manque récurrent de fantassins.De l'autre côté du front, la Russie continue de s'appuyer sur ses alliés, et notamment la Corée du Nord. Depuis la signature d'un pacte de défense mutuelle en octobre dernier, Pyongyang aurait fait parvenir à Moscou des millions d'obus, selon les services de renseignement sud-coréens. 13 000 soldats auraient également été envoyés sur le front pour aider l'armée russe à reconquérir la région de Koursk.LES EXPERTS : - Général Patrick DUTARTRE - Général de l'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace, ancien pilote de chasse- Élie TENENBAUM - Directeur du Centre des études de sécurité de l'Institut français des relations internationales- Isabelle LASSERRE - Correspondante diplomatique - Le Figaro, spécialiste des questions de stratégie et de géopolitique- Laura KAYALI - Journaliste Défense – POLITICO
