The United States is investigating who is behind the dam explosion at Nova Kakhovka. The White House is looking into reports that the blast was carried out by Russian forces, which last year occupied areas adjacent to the dam. He denies Kyiv's involvement in the explosion and blames the Kremlin. - Соединенные Штаты заявляют, что пока изучают, кто стоит за подрывом дамбы в Новой Каховке. В Белом доме рассматривают сообщения о том, что взрыв был осуществлен российскими силами, которые в прошлом году оккупировали районы, прилегающие к дамбе. Мы поговорили с советником главы офиса президента Украины Михаилом Подоляком. Он отрицает причастность Киева к взрыву и возлагает ответственность на Кремль.

*) Tens of thousands at flooding risk after Ukraine dam collapse About 42,000 people are at risk from flooding in Russian and Ukrainian controlled areas along the Dnipro River after a dam collapsed. Ukraine said Russia committed a deliberate war crime in blowing up the Soviet-era Nova Kakhovka dam, which powered a hydroelectric station. Meanwhile, the Kremlin blamed Ukraine, saying it was trying to distract from the launch of a major counteroffensive Moscow says is faltering. *) Blinken meets Mohammed Bin Salman in bid to restore strained Saudi-US ties Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken have met to discuss bilateral relations, Saudi state news agency (SPA) says. They also discussed "aspects of cooperation in various fields and developments in regional and international situations", the agency added. Blinken arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday on a mission to steady Washington's relationship with Riyadh after years of deepening disagreements. *) Khartoum islanders 'under siege' as Sudan fighting rages Battles have continued to rage in Sudan's capital of Khartoum and residents of an island in the Nile reported being "under siege". A number of broken ceasefires offered brief lulls but no respite for residents who again reported "the sound of heavy artillery fire" in the city's north. Witnesses also said there were "clashes with various types of weapons" in south Khartoum, where "the sound of explosions shook our walls". *) Erdogan: We will build 'Century of Türkiye' together Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has held the first meeting of his new Cabinet in Ankara. Erdogan said Turkish democracy has become a point of reference for the world after record participation in both the May 14 and May 28 elections. He also vowed to embrace all 85 million Turkish citizens and to build the "Century of Türkiye" all together. *) 'A new tiger will roar': Saudi champions Al Ittihad sign Karim Benzema Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema has signed a three-year deal with Al Ittihad, the Jeddah-based club confirms. "Benzema is here. A new tiger will roar," the club wrote on Twitter. Benzema will join his former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in the Gulf kingdom. The announcement comes days after Real Madrid said that the 35-year-old Benzema was leaving the club after 14 seasons.

Este martes volaron la presa de Nueva Kajovka, en el curso bajo del río Dniéper, a corta distancia (unos 80 kilómetros) de la ciudad de Jersón. El río en esta región marca la línea de frente, pero la presa en sí misma se encuentra en la zona ocupada por el ejército ruso. La presa, construida en los años cincuenta, detiene el río formando un inmenso embalse de más de 200 kilómetros de largo, 25 de ancho y una superficie de 2.100 kilómetros cuadrados, el equivalente a la provincia de Vizcaya. El embalse es una infraestructura esencial para el sureste de Ucrania ya que, aparte de servir como reserva de agua para riego y abastecimiento urbano, sirve para generar electricidad mediante turbinas hidráulicas y también como embalse de apoyo a la central nuclear de Zaporiyia. La voladura ha provocado el desbordamiento del Dniéper aguas abajo y una devastadora inundación cuyos daños están aún por cuantificar. El Gobierno ucraniano ha acusado a Rusia de ser la responsable de destruir la presa. El Gobierno ruso, por su parte, ha señalado a Ucrania de hacer lo propio. No sabemos aún a ciencia cierta quién ha sido, pero las agencias de inteligencia occidentales se inclinan por Rusia, ya que la presa se encontraba en sus manos y se había informado previamente que unidades rusas habían colocado explosivos en el dique de contención. Que haya sido Rusia tiene también sentido en tanto que los primeros compases de la contraofensiva ucraniana ya habían dado comienzo por el sur del país. Con la presa hecha añicos y todo el territorio al sur del dique inundado, cualquier ofensiva por esta zona queda eliminada ya que la cantidad de agua liberada es muy grande por lo que, incluso cuando toda se haya drenado hacia el mar Negro, aquello quedará convertido en un cenagal intransitable. El canciller alemán, Olaf Scholz, fue concluyente al respecto. En una entrevista televisada que concedió poco tiempo después de conocerse la noticia dio por seguro que había sido cosa del Kremlin. A Scholz, de hecho, no le ha sorprendido que los rusos hayan volado ya que era algo con lo que las potencias occidentales contaban desde que los ucranianos recuperaron la ribera derecha del río tras la contraofensiva del verano pasado. Tampoco ha sido una sorpresa para el secretario general de la OTAN, Jens Stoltenberg, a quien, de cualquier modo, le parece inconcebible que Putin haya ordenado una atrocidad que contraviene los protocolos adicionales de la convención de Ginebra que establecen que “las presas, diques y centrales nucleares de generación eléctrica, no serán objeto de ataque, incluso cuando éstos sean objetivos militares, si tal ataque puede causar la liberación de fuerzas peligrosas y las consiguientes pérdidas entre la población civil” Desde el punto de vista militar, la destrucción de la presa de Nueva Kajovka podría regalar algo de tiempo al ejército ruso para reordenar sus defensas y, al mismo tiempo, debilitar a Ucrania privándoles de una de las zonas de avance para su esperada ofensiva estival. Cruzar el río Dniéper en este tramo del frente se convertirá en los próximos meses en misión imposible. Con esa área sellada los rusos podrán ahora redirigir material y efectivos desde el suroeste a otros tramos del frente más al norte para así resistir mejor la embestida ucraniana. La voladura de la presa obliga a Ucrania a repensar una ofensiva que se mantiene en el más alto secreto. Según los analistas militares uno de sus objetivos era cortar el puente terrestre que une Rusia y la península de Crimea. Eso ahora se les complica bastante ya que la región inundada era uno de los caminos para hacerlo. En Kiev Volodímir Zelenski ha tenido que convocar a su consejo de seguridad y defensa nacional para analizar el problema, que es doble en tanto que necesitan poner a salvo a toda la población víctima de una inundación que amenaza a un total de 18 poblaciones, incluyendo Jersón, la capital de la provincia. Esto va a crear nuevos problemas al Kremlin en el plano diplomático. Si se determina que Rusia es responsable, este destrozo se sumaría a la cuenta de crímenes de guerra que el ejército ruso ha cometido en Ucrania desde que dio comienzo la invasión.

Um ataque destruiu a represa de Nova Kakhovka, na região de Kherson, no sul da Ucrânia. O reservatório fornece água para a usina nuclear de Zaporizhzhia, que está sob controle da Rússia. Kiev acusa Moscou de explodir a barragem. Já o Kremlin afirma que um ataque com artilharia durante a contraofensiva iniciada pelo governo de Volodymyr Zelenskiy no fim de semana teria atingido a represa. O nível da água subiu 5 metros depois da explosão, e moradores do entorno do rio Dnipro, por onde passa a barragem, já deixaram suas casas, que ficaram alagadas. Após o ocorrido, Zelensky convocou uma reunião de emergência e escreveu a seguinte mensagem em suas redes sociais: “Terroristas russos. A destruição da barragem da usina hidrelétrica de Kakhovka apenas confirma para o mundo inteiro que eles devem ser expulsos de todos os cantos do território ucraniano. Nem um único metro deve ser deixado para eles, porque eles usam cada metro para o terror. É apenas a vitória da Ucrânia que devolverá a segurança. E essa vitória virá. Os terroristas não poderão deter a Ucrânia com água, mísseis ou qualquer outra coisa.” Inscreva-se e receba a newsletter:  https://bit.ly/2Gl9AdL Você pode entrar em contato conosco pelo e-mail:  assinante@oantagonista.com Confira mais notícias em nosso site:  https://oantagonista.uol.com.br/ https://crusoe.uol.com.br/ Acompanhe nossas redes sociais:  https://www.fb.com/oantagonista​ https://www.twitter.com/o_antagonista ​https://www.instagram.com/o_antagonista https://www.tiktok.com/@oantagonista_oficial No Youtube deixe seu like e se inscreva no canal: https://www.youtube.com/c/OAntagonista

C dans l'air du 6 juin : Barrage ukrainien : la catastrophe qui s'annonce ... LES EXPERTS - ALAIN BAUER - Professeur de criminologie - CNAM, responsable du pôle sécurité, défense, renseignement - AMIRAL MICHEL OLHAGARAY - Ancien commandant de l'école navale - NICOLE BACHARAN - Politologue et historienne - PAUL GOGO - Journaliste - Correspondant à Moscou - BRUNO CHAREYRON (en duplex) - Ingénieur en physique nucléaire, laboratoire de la CRIIRAD C'est l'une des catastrophes que redoutait l'Ukraine depuis le début de la guerre. Le barrage hydroélectrique de Kakhovka dans le sud du pays, entre la ville de Kherson et la centrale nucléaire de Zaprojia, a été partiellement détruit ont affirmé ce mardi 6 juin la présidence ukrainienne et les autorités d'occupation installées par la Russie dans cette région. Kiev a dénoncé un "crime de guerre" de l'armée russe et a demandé une réunion d'urgence du Conseil de sécurité à l'ONU. L'OTAN a condamné la "brutalité" de la guerre menée par la Russie. Cette attaque contre le barrage ukrainien donne une "nouvelle dimension" à la guerre menée par la Russie a estimé, de son côté, le chancelier allemand Olaf Scholz. Situés sur la rive est du Dniepr, le plus grand fleuve d'Ukraine, la centrale de Kakhovka et son barrage sont restés sous contrôle russe, y compris après la reprise de la rive ouest par l'armée ukrainienne en novembre dernier. En octobre, lors d'une réunion du Conseil de l'Europe, Volodymyr Zelensky rapportait avoir des informations selon lesquelles les occupants russes avaient miné l'édifice. Ce mardi son conseiller Mykhaïlo Podoliak a affirmé que la Russie a "fait sauter" l'ouvrage pour "créer des obstacles pour les actions offensives des forces armées" ukrainiennes, alors qu'une contre-offensive a commencé. Après la rupture de digue de cet ouvrage qui retenait un bassin long de 200 kilomètres et large de 20, des centaines de milliers d'habitants ont reçu l'ordre d'évacuer. Mais au moins 24 localités sont d'ores et déjà inondées, et des dizaines d'autres sous la menace, en raison d'une lente, mais inexorable, montée des eaux dans le delta du fleuve Dniepr. "Des mesures d'évacuation sont en cours" par train vers Mykolaiv a expliqué le Premier ministre ukrainien. Mais elles s'effectuent sous les bombardements continus de l'artillerie russe qui ont blessé deux policiers, a affirmé le ministre de l'Intérieur ukrainien. Le conseiller de la présidence ukrainienne a également alerté sur le danger qui "augmente désormais rapidement" pour la centrale de Zaporijjia. Située à 150 km au nord-est de Kakhovka, la centrale nucléaire utilise l'eau retenue par le barrage pour refroidir son combustible. Sa destruction fait donc craindre une baisse du niveau en amont, qui ferait peser une nouvelle menace sur la sécurité du site. L'Agence internationale de l'énergie atomique (AIEA), qui dispose d'experts sur place, a affirmé mardi matin qu'il n'existait "pas de danger nucléaire immédiat". Pour l'AIEA, le bassin de refroidissement "sera suffisant pour alimenter la centrale en eau pendant des mois", sans écarter un risque à plus long terme. Côté russe, le Kremlin a dénoncé un acte de "sabotage délibéré" de Kiev afin de couper une source d'eau essentielle pour la Crimée et de détourner l'attention d'une contre-offensive "chancelante" contre les forces russes. La veille la Russie avait affirmé avoir repoussé une "offensive de grande envergure" dimanche "dans la direction du sud de la région de Donestk" dans le Donbass. Ce que les autorités ukrainiennes ont démenti. "Les propagandistes russes vont répandre de fausses informations sur la contre-offensive, les mouvements et les pertes" de l'Ukraine, a écrit le centre des communications stratégiques de l'armée, sur Telegram, accusant la Russie de préparer de fausses vidéos et images censées montrer des pertes ukrainiennes. Depuis quarante-huit heures, les évènements s'accélèrent en Ukraine et la bataille de communication que se livrent Kiev et Moscou s'intensifie. Ainsi plusieurs radios russes, victimes d'un piratage, ont diffusé lundi un faux discours du président Vladimir Poutine faisant état d'une "invasion" ukrainienne et annonçant la mise en place d'une loi martiale dans les régions frontalières de l'Ukraine. Une fausse prise de parole de Vladimir Poutine qui a également été diffusée à la télévision russe, créé sans doute en utilisant la technique dite du deepfake. Celle-ci permet de truquer une vidéo grâce à l'intelligence artificielle (deep learning), en remplaçant par exemple le visage et la voix d'une personne sur une vidéo, par ceux d'une autre personne. Ce n'est pas la première fois que cette technique est utilisée depuis le début du conflit. En mars 2022, la chaîne nationale Ukraine 24, victime d'un piratage, avait diffusé une vidéo truquée de Volodymyr Zelensky, dans laquelle le président ukrainien appelait son pays à "rendre les armes". La bataille de l'information, donnée clef en temps de guerre, se mène désormais avec l'intelligence artificielle alors que sur le terrain les drones se sont imposés comme une arme stratégique.

A tankie agent carried out "false flag" vandalism of a synagogue and other Jewish targets in Detroit, attempting to blame it on the Azov Battalion and tar Ukrainians. She turns out to have been a member of the retro-Stalinist Workers World Party and a staff writer for openly dictator-shilling MintPress News—which has itself engaged in "false flag" disinformation, blaming the Syrian rebels for chemical attacks against their own strongholds by the Bashar Assad regime. MintPress has also received funding directly from the Assad Lobby. In Episode 176 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg examines this ultra-cynical propaganda nexus, and asks whether such agents are mere "useful idiots" for the Kremlin, or actual conscious assets operating in the "gray zone"—the sphere of "hybrid warfare" in which the line between state and non-state actors is blurred.

It's only existed for 31 years.  It covers roughly 1/8 of all inhabitable landmass on earth with a population of 143 million.  It has a constitution and a parliament but for 23 years, it has been ruled by one individual.  Today, we are discussing the dictatorship of the Russian Federation and its ruler, Vladimir Putin.  How did Putin come to power and consolidate his iron grip over his country following the dissolving of the Soviet Union in the 1990s?  What strides towards democratization was the Soviet Union making?  What is the status of basic civil liberties like freedom of speech, freedom to dissent and freedom to protest?  For all of these answer and many more, join our all-star student panel and our special guest, Mark Kramer, Director of the Cold War Studies Project at the Davis Center at Harvard University, as we unpack the Russian Federation.

A medida que se intensifica la lucha geopolítica más amplia entre Rusia y Occidente, el apoyo del Kremlin ha envalentonado a los separatistas serbios de Bosnia. La CIA y los servicios de inteligencia occidentales están preocupados por el aumento del nacionalismo serbio y musulmán. Mientras tanto, las señales de advertencia provenientes de esta región volátil se han deslizado bajo el radar de los medios. Rusia tiene una influencia considerable en Bosnia, ya que la región depende en gran medida del gas ruso. Y ejerce influencia a través de otra poderosa herramienta regional: la Iglesia Ortodoxa Serbia. La influencia rusa es clara en “Los Lobos de la República Serbia”, la sección serbia de la notoria pandilla de motociclistas rusos, los Lobos Nocturnos. Desde la invasión de Ucrania, su apoyo al Kremlin ha sido inquebrantable y revelan a nuestro equipo que algunos de ellos están activos en primera línea con las fuerzas rusas. De vuelta a casa, los motociclistas muestran la letra 'Z' para mostrar su apoyo. El auge del nacionalismo infunde miedo en el corazón de la población musulmana, que recuerda la guerra. Sin embargo, se encuentran con la ira de los serbios que creen que ellos también fueron víctimas de la guerra. Estos nacionalistas serbios sienten que solo Rusia reconoce lo que han sufrido. A través de la iglesia ortodoxa serbia y los Lobos, los ultranacionalistas serbios han extendido su influencia al vecino Montenegro. Alrededor de un tercio de la población sigue siendo pro-serbia y en gran parte pro-rusa. Pero Montenegro es miembro de la OTAN y votó a favor de las sanciones contra Rusia. Vladimir Putin puede haberse vengado mediante un ciberataque masivo en 2022, una acusación que Rusia niega rotundamente.

Ukraine has been dealt some blows in the last month. Kyiv has seen the most air strikes since the start of the war, and the city of Bakhmut is almost entirely occupied by the Russians. However, a shift could be coming. After receiving billions of dollars worth of international military aid, Ukraine may be ready to launch its much anticipated spring counteroffensive. And after a drone strike hit an apartment block in a Moscow suburb, some are asking whether it's already underway. Plus, tensions between the powerful mercenary organisation, The Wagner Group, and the Kremlin are increasing, after more than 20,000 of their soldiers were killed in Bakhmut. Could Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin be a threat to Putin's leadership? Paul Adams, the BBC's diplomatic correspondent, has been watching this all closely and helps us make sense of the latest developments — and where the war in Ukraine could be headed.

Van ya quince meses de guerra en Ucrania y el ejército ruso sigue sin poder imponerse en el campo de batalla. Los ucranianos han compensado su menor número y la escasez de artillería con mejores tácticas, alta moral de combate y armas provenientes de las potencias occidentales. Putin, en definitiva, muerde el polvo donde se suponía que iba a triunfar. Pero en otros ámbitos como la economía y la política le está yendo mucho mejor, justo donde Occidente pensaba que su poderío era indiscutible. Está consiguiendo sortear buena parte de las sanciones y, aunque la economía rusa acusa ya muchos problemas de suministro, no se ha paralizado. En ello ha tenido mucho que ver el apoyo chino y el hecho de que buena parte del llamado sur global se haya puesto de perfil ante el conflicto, condenan de forma retórica la invasión, pero no quieren ir ni un centímetro más allá ya que consideran que lo que suceda en el este de Europa no es de su incumbencia. En el aspecto político y de imagen, el régimen de Putin ha conseguido erigirse para muchos en el paladín de los valores tradicionales. Eso mismo es lo que le han comprado en buena parte del mundo, también en Occidente, donde los partidos y movimientos identitarios simpatizan con el Gobierno ruso ya que creen que lo que se está librando en Ucrania no es más que una lucha entre esos valores cristianos, y las doctrinas posmodernas tan en boga en todo Occidente desde hace unos años. El propio Putin insiste en ello siempre que puede. En un discurso que dio poco antes de comenzar la invasión de Ucrania, insistió en que había que rescatar a Occidente de sí mismo, un mensaje que caló hondo entre muchos europeos y estadounidenses, especialmente del ala derecha del espectro político. Según la propaganda rusa Occidente se encuentra en un estadio muy avanzado de decadencia moral y ha de ser Rusia, convertida en una suerte de reserva espiritual, la que se encargue de recordar algo tan elemental y emprender una cruzada para restaurar el orden natural de las cosas. En Occidente no se ha calibrado adecuadamente el peligro de este reclamo que a algunos se les antoja casi medieval. En Washington y en Bruselas responden reafirmando su creencia en valores universales como los derechos humanos, la democracia liberal o el Estado de derecho. Pero en las sociedades occidentales, las más abiertas y diversas del mundo, se debate sobre una serie de asuntos como los derechos de los homosexuales y los transexuales, el aborto, la eutanasia o la lucha contra el cambio climático. Pero no sólo eso, también se debaten con ardor algunos elementos de la denominada cultura “woke” que está fracturando la convivencia en ciertos ámbitos como el universitario. Este debate sobre lo “woke” provoca estupor en otras partes del mundo y es ahí donde Putin y su formidable maquinaria de propaganda han entrado en juego agitando el tablero y creando una legión de partidarios de Rusia que, si bien la mayoría no están de acuerdo con la invasión de Ucrania, asumen que es algo inevitable ya que Occidente está podrido por dentro. El éxito del Kremlin en esta campaña que trata de aprovecharse de la confusión moral en Occidente está siendo notable en todos los países de Europa y también en Estados Unidos e Hispanoamérica. Una parte de la derecha tiene el corazón partido. Por un lado, les desagrada Putin y sus formas, por otro creen que es el único que puede plantar cara a la decadencia de Occidente.

C dans l'air du 30 mai - A l'aube, 8 drones attaquent Moscou LES EXPERTS : - Général Jean-Paul PALOMÉROS - Ancien chef d'état-major / Ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN - Anne NIVAT - Grand reporter - Le Point, auteure de "Un continent derrière Poutine ?" -Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste, spécialiste des questions internationales, France Inter - Julien THERON - Chercheur en sécurité internationale, auteur de Le pacte des autocrates Un mois après une première attaque qui avait visé le Kremlin, dont les contours restent encore une énigme, et une semaine après l'incursion de groupes paramilitaires russes d'Ukraine dans la région de Belgorod, la capitale russe a été à nouveau visée ce mardi 30 mai à l'aube. Selon les autorités russes, huit engins auraient été "neutralisés". Ces armes seraient "d'un type jusqu'alors inconnu, fabriqués selon le schéma 'canard'. On peut supposer que la production de drones de ce type a été lancée en Ukraine - leur portée peut atteindre des milliers de kilomètres", a expliqué Alexei Rogozine, le chef du Centre pour le développement des technologies de transport, cité par l'agence publique russe, RIA Novosti. Selon le Kremlin, cette attaque qualifiée de "terroriste" serait "une réponse" de Kiev après plusieurs jours de frappes meurtrières sur la capitale ukrainienne. Alors qu'une contre-offensive ukrainienne est attendue depuis des mois, les attaques de drones, attentats et opérations de "sabotage" se sont multipliées ces dernières semaines dans les régions russes frontalières avec l'Ukraine. Mais si les frappes sont nombreuses dans les territoires frontaliers, elles étaient jusqu'alors plutôt rares à dans la capitale russe située à plus de 500 kilomètres de l'Ukraine. Kiev a, une nouvelle fois, rejeté toute responsabilité. Que s'est-il passé à Moscou ? D'où proviennent les drones qui ont frappé la capitale russe ? Depuis le début du conflit en Ukraine, ces engins volants pilotés à distance ne se contentent pas de filmer et de guider les frappes, ce sont aussi des armes capables de larguer des explosifs avec précision et à moindre coût. Ils ont modifié en profondeur les règles de la guerre. Les Ukrainiens sont devenus des experts dans l'utilisation de ces engins ultrasophistiqués à plusieurs millions d'euros ou appareils grand public bricolés pour devenir des armes mortelles. Ils utilisent notamment le Bayraktar TB2, un drone turc qui a permis à l'Ukraine de faire des ravages dans l'armée russe, frappant notamment définitivement en Mer Noire le croiseur russe Moskva et l'île aux Serpents. Cet engin sans pilote, conçu par le propre gendre du président turc, est devenu l'instrument des ambitions géopolitiques d'Istanbul. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, réélu dimanche à la tête de la Turquie, a fait de la production de matériel militaire, l'un des piliers industriels de son pays et utilise le drone au service d'une stratégie d'influence en Afrique, en Asie centrale, au Moyen-Orient et en Europe. Il occupe ainsi une place singulière dans le conflit en Ukraine. Partenaire de la Russie et hostile aux sanctions qui la touchent, la Turquie, dans le même temps membre de l'Otan, vend des armes à l'Ukraine. Mais quelle sera sa stratégie ces cinq prochaines années ? Le Kremlin a souligné, lundi, avoir des objectifs "très ambitieux" avec la Turquie, au lendemain de la réélection du président turc.

On May 21, Russian forces declared victory in Bakhmut after nearly a year of battle, marking their first seizure over a major city since Severodonetsk and Lysychansk in the summer of 2022. While Russian propagandists have likened the victory in Bakhmut to the Fall of Berlin, analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) argue that Bakhmut actually lost its (limited) strategic significance back in September. On this week's episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia speak with one of ISW's Russia analysts, Kateryna Stepanenko, to discuss her new piece contextualizing the battle for Bakhmut since its start in the spring of 2022 and what it might suggest about Russia's ability to mount successful offensive operations. Is the Russian army able to adapt to the realities of the battlefield? Do they value "information victories" over military victories? Stepanenko and the co-hosts also discuss the right-wing pro-Kremlin milbloggers' sudden shift from staunch ultra-nationalism to deep skepticism over a potential Russian mobilization. Show notes: Sign up for The Eastern Front's bi-weekly newsletter here and follow us on Twitter here; "The Kremlin's Pyrrhic Victory in Bakhmut: A Retrospective on the Battle for Bakhmut" by Kateryna Stepanenko.

As drones hit Moscow buildings in a rare attack in the heart of Russia, the Kremlin is placing the blame squarely on Kyiv. But Ukraine denies any direct involvement. It's a dramatic escalation that makes clear Putin's war is coming closer to home and now puts Russian civilians at risk. US Ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith discusses this pivotal point in the war and how it is being viewed by Western allies.  Also on today's show: Former candidate for Georgia governor Stacey Abrams; author Héctor Tobar; musician Peter One To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

As we head into Memorial Day Weekend, we are excited to share this Special Edition with Brigadier General Kevin Ryan (U.S. Army Retired). During his service with the Army, Kevin served in air and missile defense, intelligence, and political-military policy areas in Europe, Korea, and Iraq. Kevin was formerly head of the Moscow office of the POW/MIA Commission and served as Senior Regional Director for Slavic States in the Office of Secretary of Defense and as Defense Attaché to Russia. He is currently an Associate Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and recently wrote an article entitled “ Why Putin Will Use Nuclear Weapons in Ukraine.” With Kevin's background and experience, we were very interested in visiting with him to discuss Russia broadly.   In our conversation, Kevin first provides background on the current dynamics between Russia and Ukraine. After a year of war, Russia currently occupies about 20% of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea. As Ukraine pushes back, Kevin suggests that if conventional escalation fails to stop Ukraine's success, Russia may turn to other weapons, with nuclear weapons being the most likely choice. We discuss the potential methods Putin could employ, including a demonstration or the use of tactical nuclear weapons, and Putin's efforts to convince the Russian people of the significance of the threat against Russia and the broader narrative he is constructing. While using a nuclear weapon would be unthinkable, Kevin argues that from a Russian perspective, it would be seen as a means for Putin to change the perception of Russia's military strength and create fear in the rest of the world. You will also hear Kevin discuss Putin beginning to make the “Truman argument” for using nuclear weapons with his own people. In terms of proactive measures the United States and other nations can take, Kevin reiterates the importance of making it clear to Russia the catastrophic consequences of using nuclear weapons, preparations for addressing the medical and decontamination issues, and the possibility of providing Putin with an exit strategy to avoid the repercussions of his actions. While the use of a nuclear weapon is a hypothetical scenario, it is certainly extremely serious. We also discuss Putin's motivations and the dynamics within the Kremlin, Putin's platform of restoring Russian pride and the implications of his potential failure in the conflict, as well as the role of countries like China in the situation. It was a serious and thoughtful discussion.   We greatly appreciate Kevin's time and perspective, as well as the work the Belfer Center is doing. For the extra curious, we have linked some of the best articles we have found on the Ukraine war below.   We hope you have a safe and happy Memorial Day. Like you, we are most thankful for and respectful of the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. God bless you and God bless them.
