Urteil eines führenden US-KriegstreibersEin Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Der eingefleischte Zionist und Vordenker der Neokonservativen Bewegung in den USA Robert Kagan hat – wahrscheinlich das erste Mal in seinem Leben - in einem unverfälscht realistischen Artikel die USA als Papiertiger bezeichnet, der eine vernichtende Niederlage gegen Iran erlitten habe. Die schwerwiegenden Folgen dieses Bankrotts für die US-Machtprojektion könnten weder rückgängig gemacht noch kontrolliert werden. Zunächst jedoch eine Einordnung von Robert Kagan, seinem Umfeld und seinem politischen Einfluss, was im Anschluss eine bessere Bewertung seiner Einschätzung zu Iran erlaubt.Robert Kagan ist nicht nur als neokonservativer Vordenker der US-Zionisten bekannt, sondern auch als Ehemann der berüchtigten Victoria-„Fuck-the-EU“-Nuland. Die machte im Jahr 2014 als stellvertretende US-Außenministerin und Chefarchitektin des Maidan-Gewaltputsch in Kiew Schlagzeilen, nicht zuletzt, weil sie damals auf dem Maidan inmitten des Chaos Sandwiches an die bewaffneten Rechtsextremisten und Nazis verteilt hatte. Zudem hatte sie damals mit sichtbarer Genugtuung öffentlich bekannt, dass die USA in Jahre langen Vorbereitungen für den Maidan-Putsch fünf Milliarden Dollar ausgegeben hatten.Robert Kagan war als der Mitbegründer des “Project for the New American Century (PNAC)” (Projekt für ein neues amerikanisches Jahrhundert”, das erste Mal weltweit bekannt geworden. Denn der gleichgenannte PNAC-Bericht erwies sich als Blaupause für die nachfolgenden, unprovozierten, brutalen und völkerrechtswidrigen US-Angriffskriege gegen Irak, Libyen, Syrien und Jemen mit Millionen Toten und Vertriebenen.Krieg, Kriegstreiberei und Massenmord ist auch das Geschäftsmodell der übrigen Mitglieder der Kagan-Familie. Der Bruder von Robert, Frederick Kagan und dessen Ehefrau Kimberly Kagan sind nicht weniger prominent und einflussreich in neo-konservativen außenpolitischen Zirkeln. Denn Dr. Kimberly Kagan ist als promovierte Militärhistorikerin die Gründerin und Leiterin eines von der US-Rüstungsindustrie gehätschelten Think-Tanks, nämlich des „Institute for the Study of War“ (ISM), das Institut für das Studium des Krieges, wobei der Fokus auf dem Familienprojekt des Stellvertreterkriegs gegen Russland in der Ukraine liegt.Da das ISM Kagan-Institut stets mit den “richtigen” Argumenten aufwartet, um mit noch mehr westlicher Hilfe den Krieg in der Ukraine in die Länge zu ziehen, dienen die „Analysen“ des ISM auch den deutschen öffentlich-rechtlichen und sonstigen „Qualitätsmedien“ regelmäßig als „verlässliche Quelle“ für ihre Berichterstattung über die Ukraine. Wegen der sich überschneidenden neokonservativen, kriegerischen außenpolitischen Ansichten und Familienverbindungen bis in die höchsten Stellen von Politik und Rüstungsindustrie bezeichnen Kritiker diese Vernetzung der Familie als den „Kagan-Kriegstreiber-Komplex“....https://apolut.net/schach-matt-fur-washington-am-persischen-golf-von-rainer-rupp/ Hosted on Acast.

On today's podcast we welcome Ivan Katchanovski to discuss his most recent book The Russia-Ukraine War and its Origins: From the Maidan to the Ukraine War (2025) . Ivan Katchanovski specializes in researching comparative politics, conflicts, political communication, and policy in Ukraine, the US, and Canada. He teaches at the School of Political Studies and the Conflict Studies and Human Rights Program at the University of Ottawa, Canada. He previously held academic positions at Harvard University, the State University of New York at Potsdam, the University of Toronto, and the Kluge Center at the Library of Congress.Open access to the book: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-98724-3Book description:This open access book examines the Russia-Ukraine war and its origins. Based on analysis of a large number of primary and secondary sources, it provides a systematic analysis of this crucial war, its nature, outcome, possibility of peaceful settlement, violence against civilians, and origins. The book examines the role of such factors as the NATO accession of Ukraine, Russian imperialism, democracy, genocide, and the far-right in the start of the war and traces the conflict escalation ladder, which culminated in this war, to preceding violent conflicts in Ukraine, in particular, the Euromaidan, the Maidan massacre, the Russian annexation of Crimea, and the war in Donbas. The Russia-Ukraine war is the most significant armed conflict of the 21st century in the entire world and in Europe since World War Two in terms of countries involved, casualties inflicted, and actual and potential impact in the world. This book analyzes the involvement of different conflict parties, such as the Ukrainian, Russian, and Western governments, Donbas separatists, and the far right, in this crucial war and in the Euromaidan, the Maidan massacre, the Russian annexation of Crimea, and the war in Donbas, and the nature of these conflicts. This book also examines support for pro-Western/pro-nationalist and pro-Russian/pro-communist political parties and presidential candidates and attitudes towards separatism and joining the European Union, NATO, and the union with Russia in regions of Ukraine in parliamentary and presidential elections and surveys since the Euromaidan.

The conflict in Ukraine did not start in February 2022; it had started a long while before. The 2014 Maidan coup installed a fascist government led by the followers of WW2 Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera. This coup was actually the first blow in the yet-to-be-declared war against Russia. The coup enraged the people of Crimea and the Donbass, who refused to live in a state ruled by fascists. Crimea held a referendum in which the population overwhelmingly decided to rejoin Russia. Ever since 2014, the Ukrainian military, backed by the fascist Azov battalions, have been bombarding the Donbass republics, killing 14,000 people and terrorising the resistant population all over Ukraine on a daily basis. The conflict in Ukraine is not between Ukraine and Russia. It is a proxy war waged by the neo-nazi Nato alliance, which wants regime change in Russia in order to loot that country's vast resources. Faced with this threat to its very existence, Russia has had little choice but to resort to force, with the twin purposes of denazifying and demilitarising Ukraine. In this war, workers and all of progressive humanity must support Russia, which is waging a heroic fight against the combined forces of imperialism. ---------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

In Chapter 50, Ghost walks through the actual war that erupted in Eastern Ukraine following the 2014 Maidan coup, covering the timeline from the Donetsk and Luhansk separatist declarations all the way through the Minsk Two agreement of 2015. He breaks down the MH17 shootdown, the competing narratives around who fired the missile, and why the Western media's version may not hold up. Ghost also examines why both Minsk agreements ultimately failed due to unresolvable sequencing disputes between Ukraine and the separatists and explains how seven years of frozen trench warfare laid the groundwork for Russia's full-scale 2022 invasion. A methodical, plainspoken deep dive into one of the most misrepresented conflicts of the modern era.

Deze diepgaande analyse werpt een nieuw licht op de decennialange spanningen tussen Rusland, Oekraïne en het Westen. Centraal staat de expertise van Marie-Thérèse ter Haar, die vanuit haar Rusland & Eurazië Instituut al dertig jaar de brug slaat tussen Oost en West. Zij betoogt dat de huidige crisis niet uit de lucht is komen vallen, maar het resultaat is van een fundamenteel onbegrip voor de Russische psyche en de geopolitieke dynamiek in de Euraziatische regio.Het gesprek voert terug naar de traumatische jaren '90, waarin de chaos van het wilde kapitalisme de weg plaveide voor de roep om een sterke hand. Ter Haar en Ad Verbrugge ontleden hoe westerse expansiedrift en de Amerikaanse Wolfowitz-doctrine botsten met de Russische rode lijnen. Daarbij komt de complexe rol van Oekraïne als tragisch breekijzer tussen twee machtsblokken aan bod, waarbij de Maidan-revolutie en de mislukte Minsk-akkoorden als cruciale kantelpunten worden gemarkeerd.De essentie van dit betoog ligt in het geopolitiek realisme: het besef dat een duurzame Europese veiligheidsarchitectuur onmogelijk is zonder de erkenning van Russische belangen en de diepe historische wortels van de regio. Het is een pleidooi voor bezinning, cultuur en dialoog, tegen de stroom van de hedendaagse polarisatie in. Een onmisbaar perspectief voor wie de werkelijke drijfveren achter de wereldgeschiedenis wil doorgronden.--------------------------------Bronnen en links bij deze uitzending: Steun het Eurazië Instituut! https://www.eurazie-instituut.nlKoop nu je kaartjes voor de Theater Tour! ⭐7 mei: Op Hodenpijl, Schipluiden met Kees de Kort: https://ophodenpijl.nl/evenement/nieuwe-wereld-kees-de-kort/?occurrence=2026-05-0719 mei: Grote Kerk Alkmaar met Maurice de Hond: https://grotekerkalkmaar.nl/tickets/seizoen-25-26/de-nieuwe-wereld-ondergang-van-het-avondland/?showId=3878151937-177159177816 juni: De Maagd, Bergen op Zoom: Willem Middelkoop: vanaf woensdag in de verkoop!

2. Plokhy analyzes the 2008 NATO Bucharest summit where Georgia and Ukraine were promised future membership without specifics. He argues this exposure led to Putin's 2008 invasion of Georgia and the 2014 war in Ukraine. The discussion includes the rise of Yanukovich and the 2013 Maidan revolution's historical roots.

8. Plokhy describes the 2008 NATO split and Putin's subsequent military intervention in Georgia. He outlines the pressure placed on Yanukovich to reject the European Union, which sparked the Maidan revolution. The author emphasizes that these events were stepping stones toward the eventual annexation of Crimea and full-scale war. (8)1855 CROAT LABORERS

This special episode is a recording of a recent talk at Chaplaincy VUW by Professor Cyril Hovorun. Cyril is an archimandrite in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and teaches international relations at University College Stockholm. Having worked for a decade as personal secretary to Patriarch Kirill of Moscow — and having since been defrocked by him — Cyril speaks with unusual personal knowledge of the key figures and ideas driving Russia's theology of war. He traces the development of "sacred war" rhetoric in the Russian Orthodox Church, contrasts it with the Ukrainian search for a theology of peace, and draws on the Christological thought of Maximus the Confessor to argue that any genuine peace must be grounded in ethics and justice. The talk is followed by a lively Q&A session.Show notesVsevolod Chaplin (1968–2020)— right-hand man to Patriarch KirillThe Theology of Maidan, Cyril Hovorun (Dec 2013)Aleksandr Dugin (1962–), Russian political theoristCarl Schmitt (1888–1985), German political theoristPaul W.

Im Vorfeld der anstehenden Parlamentswahlen in Ungarn spannt sich die Lage im Land zunehmend an. Die Ukraine spielt im Wahlkampf eine wichtige Rolle. Es mehren sich die Anzeichen dafür, dass auf ein Brüssel und Kiew nicht genehmes Abstimmungsergebnis Provokationen und sogar Terroranschläge folgen könnten. Von Wladimir Kornilow

Ghost walks through the 2014 annexation of Crimea by breaking down the sequence of events, the historical context, and the competing narratives from Russia and the West. The episode centers on Vladimir Putin's detailed justification for Crimea's reunification with Russia, including arguments around historical ties, ethnic demographics, and the referendum results. Ghost contrasts this with the Western response, highlighting sanctions, international law claims, and NATO's broader geopolitical role. Through archived speeches and commentary, the discussion explores themes of sovereignty, nationalism, global power dynamics, and the precedent of Kosovo as a justification for Crimea's move. The episode ultimately frames Crimea as a pivotal turning point that connects the Maidan coup to the broader conflict that follows in eastern Ukraine.

War and resistance in UkraineJust over four years ago, as Putin launched Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he expected the war to be over in a matter of days. But Putin's army would soon be shocked by the resistance they encountered, and today Ukraine still hasn't fallen. But it hasn't won either. This is now a complex, attritional war for endurance against an autocratic, imperial state that appears willing to absorb huge economic and human costs to fight on. If you're unsure of what to make of the war, its history, and some of the debates it throws up, then this is the show for you.Host Luke Cooper is joined by Roksolana Nesterenko, a researcher at the Kyiv School of Economics, and Taras Fedirko, an academic with positions at the University of Glasgow and the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna. In this episode:  Mood and situation in Ukraine as of early 2026 Historical context of the war, including the Maidan protests and the Revolution of Dignity A culture of active everyday citizenship  Revenue mobilisation for the war effort through crowdfunding, and how it's impacted the rise of drone warfare Russian propaganda and Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy A transition away from the “rally around the flag” stage of 2022 and where Ukraine is now Featured Organisation: Ukraine Solidarity Campaign BlueskyInstagramTwitter/XFacebookLinks to things we discussedCome Back Alive: a charitable foundation that comprehensively equips the Defence Forces of Ukraine with everything from vehicles to grenade launchers, as well as implementing educational projects for the military.Freefilmers: a cinemovement and NGO from Mariupol, UkraineSerhiy Prytula Charity Foundation: focused on strengthening the Defence Forces of Ukraine and providing assistance to the civilians affected by Russian aggression.Solidarity Collectives: a group of Ukrainian anarchists and anti-authoritarians who united in 2022 to support comrades fighting the Russian imperial aggression in Ukraine and help people affected by the war.

Zum 4. Jahrestag des Ukrainekriegs erreicht die Propaganda um die Vorgeschichte des Kriegs neue Höhepunkte. Zuverlässig ist auch der CDU-Politiker Roderich Kiesewetter vertreten, wenn es darum geht, historische Fakten „zurechtzurücken“. In einem aktuellen Beitrag behauptet er (wie viele andere), der Angriff des „Terrorstaats“ Russland auf die Ukraine habe schon 2014 begonnen. Doch 2014 war esWeiterlesen

This week marks four years since Russian troops were ordered by President Vladimir Putin to march into Ukraine and carry out his "special operation": the invasion of the country's close neighbour. It is poignant timing then, for the premiere of not one, but five plays under the powerful title Ukraine Unbroken: A Nation's Fight for Freedom. Conceived by Nicolas Kent (co-director of The Great Game: Afghanistan), it charts 12 turbulent years of modern Ukrainian history, from the 2014 Maidan protests to Russia's full-scale 2022 invasion. The plays, which are performed with live music by Mariia Petrovska on the bandura (a Ukrainian string instrument), feature:Always by Jonathan Myerson, documenting a married couple's experience of the violent Maidan protests;Five Day War by David Edgar, portraying Russia's 2022 invasion;Three Mates by Natalka Vorozhbit and translated by Sasha Dugdale, looking at the different choices a group of friends makes during the war;Wretched Things by David Greig, which is set on the front line and follows the moral dilemma Ukrainian soldiers face after capturing a wounded North Korean fighter;Taken by Cat Goscovitch, about a mother's search for her stolen daughter, inspired by the real abduction of thousands of Ukrainian children.To learn more, we spoke to Goskovitch, who is the daughter of acclaimed Jewish playwright CP Taylor. She talks about discovering Ukraine, Russian disinformation and her ramshackle upbringing.

In Episode 173 of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold and Zak Paine dig into the fallout from the Supreme Court's tariff ruling and President Trump's response, dissecting how executive authority, trade strategy, and judicial constraints are being framed across the political spectrum. The hosts analyze the Court's reasoning, the dissents, and what alternative statutory paths could mean moving forward. The conversation then expands into foreign policy, revisiting the Maidan coup narrative and its long-term geopolitical implications. Jon and Zak examine how media institutions shape public perception of international conflicts, questioning what gets highlighted, what gets buried, and why timing matters. Throughout the episode, they blend legal analysis with cultural commentary, challenging mainstream narratives while emphasizing pattern recognition and strategic patience. Ep. 173 connects court decisions, trade battles, and global flashpoints into a broader discussion about power, influence, and the evolving political landscape.

In Chapter 46 of The Book of Trump, Ghost unpacks the events surrounding the 2014 Maidan uprising in Ukraine and its long-term geopolitical consequences. He traces the political tensions leading up to the protests, the role of Western NGOs and U.S. officials, and the removal of President Viktor Yanukovych. The episode examines leaked phone calls, diplomatic maneuvering, and the emergence of nationalist factions that would later shape Ukraine's political landscape. Ghost connects the Maidan events to NATO expansion, sanctions against Russia, and the subsequent conflict in eastern Ukraine, arguing that the coup narrative reframes the mainstream understanding of the crisis. He also analyzes how media coverage, intelligence operations, and foreign policy objectives intersected during this pivotal moment. Framing the Maidan uprising as a turning point in modern geopolitics, Ghost positions the chapter as essential context for understanding current tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and the West — and how those dynamics factor into the broader Trump-era foreign policy debate.

Hoy se cumplen exactamente 4 años desde aquel 24 de febrero del 2022, cuando tropas rusas entraron en territorio ucraniano en lo que Vladimir Putin denominó, y sigue denominando, una operación militar especial con la que quería, entre otras cosas, derrocar al gobierno de Volodimir Zelenski y recuperar la influencia perdida en el país tras el Maidan y la atropellada salida del prorruso Viktor Yanukovich.Vamos a hablarles de la decisión de Israel de prohibir a diversas ONG seguir trabajando en la Franja de Gaza y de cómo han respondido.

What counts as “real” participation in a revolution? To what extent does gender in a revolution nowadays? What are the outcomes of mass mobilization? How do Ukrainian women participate in a revolution? In our podcast, we attemptto find an answer to these questions with Olena Nikolayenko around her latest book, Invisible Revolutionaries: Women'sParticipation in Ukraine's Euromaidan.  Published in April 2025 by Cambridge University Press, her research focuses on the women's participation in the Ukrainian Euromaidan. In the podcast, Olena Nikolayenko places women's protest within a broader framework, which includes the Arab Spring and Belarus.Her claim is that age, class, region and political experience shape women's forms of engagement. Based on these observation, Invisible Revolutionaries distinguishesbetween three models of participation: patriarchal, emancipatory, and hybrid.The methodology received a particular focus in our conversation. The Ukrainian Euromaidan was accuratelydocumented through multiple projects, such as the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance's Maidan: Oral History  and Maidan.Testimonies. As art is equally a key component duringrevolutions, Olena Nikolayenko presents the main artistic projects of the Revolution of Dignity. Olena Nikolayenko claims that Euromaidan is not a singular moment in history. Instead, it belongs within the Ukrainian's longer history of women's activism, which starts from the 1917-1921 Ukrainian revolution to Orange Revolution. However, this legacy remained largely invisible in the English-language historiography. In this context, the conversation ends by emphasizing possible avenues. Researchers dealing with this topic should investigate the relationship between gender andnonviolence, and how nonviolent resistance participation influences subsequent engagement in armed conflict. The question of how women's activism evolves fromcultural and civic resistance to armed defense of national identity remains particularly relevant given Ukraine's ongoing struggle.

Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, J.D. Vance, and the entire MAGA Klan murdered Alex Pretti. They sent Bovino into early retirement, but he must be arrested, along with his agents who shot 10 bullets into Pretti, an ICU nurse for the VA who spent his life helping others. Demand the impeachment of President Stephen Miller: force Trump to throw him under the bus, too. It's a start to the demands for justice.  To honor Pretti and our work ahead, find time to grieve. We cannot power through this collective rage and anxiety without releasing it. Even the strong need to cry in the shower. If we don't sit with our grief, it will force you to. Grieving is an act of resistance. It changes you, and it plants the seeds of justice that we will use to build a better world together. To the people of Minnesota, you have created an American Maidan, standing strong against tyranny. Even Ukrainians, freezing in the cold from Russia bombing their electrical grids, see you, and are calling your movement a Maidan. To grow a real resistance, we share a message recorded by Annie, a Gaslit Nation listener in Minneapolis.  Our victory is guaranteed because our enemies are cowards who hide behind masks. America has defeated the Klan before. We must fight with urgency in a generational struggle. Join the General Strike this Friday January 31st. Divest from the corporations funding the MAGA regime–look to Cut Off the Spigot to learn how. And most importantly, stand by each other. As the people of Minnesota showed us, singing "Stand by Me" in the face of fascism: we win through our culture of care. Tonight's episode will run as usual. It's an examination on how the Church Committee Report, which exposed the mass-murdering FBI and CIA, shows us how to overcome our mass-murdering state today.  Join our community of listeners and get bonus shows, ad free listening, group chats with other listeners, ways to shape the show, invites to exclusive events like our Monday political salons at 4pm ET over Zoom, and more!

PUTIN'S REVISIONIST HISTORY AND THE 2014 INVASION Colleague Professor Eugene Finkel. During the COVID-19 isolation of 2021, Vladimir Putin wrote an essay based on historical myths, asserting Ukrainians and Russians are one people and denying Ukraine's right to independent statehood. Finkel argues this revisionism signaled Putin's intent to restore Russia as a great empire. The conversation reviews the 2014 Maidan revolution, which Putinperceived as a loss of control, prompting the invasion of Crimea and the Donbas. Finkel clarifies that while some locals in the east preferred Russia, the violent uprising was engineered by Russian security services and mercenaries, not a genuine organic movement.

Ivan Katchanovski discusses how the media hid the realities of Ukraine's 2014 Maidan uprising, the actual triggers of the war, and the prospects for peace.

The Maidan Massacre of February 2014 supposedly involved Ukrainian government troops tied to President Viktor Yanukovych, a Russian ally, leading to his overthrow. But what if it was a false flag operation done to make people blame the government?Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/revisiting-maidan-massacre

The Maidan Massacre of February 2014 supposedly involved Ukrainian government troops tied to President Viktor Yanukovych, a Russian ally, leading to his overthrow. But what if it was a false flag operation done to make people blame the government?Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/revisiting-maidan-massacre

Volodymyr Ishchenko, currently at the Institute for East European Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, discusses his latest book, Towards the Abyss: Ukraine from Maidan to War (Verso, 2024) and forthcoming paper “Post-Soviet vicious circle: revolution as a reproduction of a crisis of hegemony” (co-authored with Oleg Zhuravlev). Historicising how post-Soviet revolutions in Ukraine have functioned, Ishchenko considers how the 2014 Euromaidan revolution produced a weaker state whose fate, instead of being decided by Moscow, has been directed by Washington or Brussels. Delineating how the 2022 war is, in part, the culmination of Ukraine's history in relationship to Russia, where cross-national capital allied itself with the local professional middle classes and where anti-nationalist arguments clashed with the tendency to understand the war within the context of Ukraine's perceived colonial struggle, Ishchenko observes how these primordial, ethno-nationalist readings lend themselves to a larger teleology. Detailing how the war in 2022 becomes the culmination of this story, a sort of parable of the struggling, emerging nation, Ishchenko explores how the narrative construction of Ukrainian nationhood mirrors the creation of the nation-state, like many countries from the 19th century onward. He also interrogates the various theories that proffer origins of the war as being rooted in the Russia-NATO conflict, as maintained by Jeffrey Sachs and John Mearsheimer. Instead, Ishchenko considers an alternative reading of this history, positing that the war in Ukraine has little to do with the inclusion of Ukraine within NATO, nor is it about NATO's inclusion of neighbouring countries. Instead, Ishchenko contends that the 2022 war is a culmination of Russia's exclusion from the process and dialogues by and around NATO.

Lionel offers a critical perspective on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Lionel argues against the Western narrative of an "unprovoked invasion," asserting that the conflict is rooted in years of Western arrogance, broken promises regarding NATO expansion, and US interference dating back to the 2014 Maidan coup. Lionel discusses figures like Victoria Nuland and critiques the American media's portrayal of the war, suggesting that Russia's actions are driven by perceived existential security threats rather than a desire to restore the Soviet Union. Furthermore, the he questions the motivations and competence of US political figures and military contractors, advocating for an "America First" stance of non-involvement and urging people to seek deeper historical context.

Edition No236 | 30-08-2025 - The Assassination of Andrii Parubii, and What It Says About Moscow's War on Democracy. A gunman in daylight, in a city far from the frontline, a courier disguise, eight shots, and democracy takes a bullet to the heart. In a nation that's been fighting for its existence and control over its future since Maidan, and indeed centuries before, has lost one of its civic leaders, and a key parliamentarian. Someone who was at the forefront of Ukraine's revolutions to assert democracy in the post-Soviet era. If it is proved that Moscow was behind it, which is a high probability, then the choice to snuff out the life of Andrii Parubii was cold and calculating. It was a direct attack on democracy and freedom. Today we unpack the cold-blooded killing of Andrii Parubii in Lviv—who he was, why this crosses a line, how Ukrainians are responding, and what this murder reveals about the Kremlin's contempt for democratic culture. (Reuters) What do we know? Just after midday on Aug. 30, 2025, Andrii Parubii — former speaker of Ukraine's parliament and a sitting MP — was shot dead in Lviv. Prosecutors say an unidentified assailant fired several rounds and fled; a citywide manhunt began under the code-name “Siren/Sirena.” (Українська правда)----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: Kyiv Independent — Ukraine's ex-parliament speaker shot dead in Lviv (Aug. 30, 2025).

Seit dem 1. November vergangenen Jahres kommt es in Serbien zu immer massiver werdenden Protesten. Die Demonstranten fordern inzwischen Neuwahlen. Russland vermutet hinter den Unruhen eine Farbenrevolution, die einen Maidan in Serbien für Präsident Aleksandar Vučić erzeugen soll.

Benoit Paré is a former French defense ministry analyst who worked as an international monitor in eastern Ukraine from 2015 to 2022.In his first interview with a US outlet, Paré speaks to The Grayzone's Aaron Maté about the hidden reality of the Ukraine war in the Donbas region, where the US-backed Kyiv government fought Russia-backed rebels following the 2014 Maidan coup. Russia now demands that Ukraine accept its capture of the Donbas as a condition for ending the war.When it comes to which party is responsible for the failure to implement the Minsk accords, the 2015 peace pact that could have prevented the 2022 Russian invasion, Paré says. "I will very clear. For me the fault lies on Ukraine... by far." Paré also warns that Ukrainian ultra-nationalists, who violently resisted the Minsk accords, remain a major obstacle to peace.Paré worked as a monitor for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), a predominately European group. He recounts his experience as an OSCE monitor in Ukraine in his new book, "What I saw in Ukraine: 2015-2022, Diary of an International Observer."

Elena clarifies the nature of the protests, expressing that they are in favor of Ukraine's EU integration and not against the government. The discussion also delves into the horizontal strength of Ukrainian society, the impact of Western misconceptions, and the broader implications of these reforms on Ukraine's resilience during wartime. Lastly, Olena provides insights into how Western misunderstanding of Ukraine's decentralized but resilient structure and the importance of maintaining justice and anti-corruption measures, even during the war, are crucial for Ukraine's future.----------CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome01:22 Current Situation in Ukraine02:11 Understanding the Protests04:03 EU Integration and Democratic Reforms05:24 The Role of Civil Society and Media13:48 Russian Occupation and Humanitarian Crisis21:04 Global Implications and Support for Ukraine25:34 Anti-Corruption Reforms and Internal Challenges51:31 Conclusion and Final Thoughts----------LINKS:https://twitter.com/OlenaHalushka https://twitter.com/AntAC_ua https://twitter.com/ICUVua https://www.linkedin.com/in/olena-halushka-b7342259/?originalSubdomain=ua https://ukrainianvictory.org/experts/olena-halushka/ https://www.fpri.org/contributor/olena-halushka/https://cepa.org/author/olena-halushka/https://archive.kyivpost.com/author/olena-halushkahttps://foreignpolicy.com/author/olena-halushka/----------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.

Die Bilder aus Kiew in diesen Tagen wecken Erinnerungen: Tausende Demonstranten auf den Straßen, Transparente gegen Korruption und Rufe nach dem Rücktritt des Präsidenten. Über die Hintergründe der Proteste gibt es verschiedene Lesarten. Während westliche Medien mit dem Finger auf Wolodymyr Selenskyj zeigen und ihm Versagen im Kampf gegen die Korruption vorwerfen, zeigen pro-russische MedienWeiterlesen

Es sind die größten Proteste seit Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs und sie richten sich gegen ein neues Antikorruptionsgesetz – droht ein Rückfall in autokratische Zeiten? Und: Wo steht der Frauenfußball 2025? (17:59) Zerback, Sarah

In 2014, in the wake of the Maidan in Kyiv and Russia's annexation of Crimea, small groups of Russian-backed militias began seizing towns in the Donbas. The militias quickly declared the creation of two independent republics, the Donbas People's Republic (DNR) and the Luhansk People's Republic (LNR). How did this happen? And so quickly? Was it all the work of Russian agents? Or was there some local support? These are just a few of the questions Serhiy Kudelia has been asking for the last decade. Now he has answers. While there was grassroots support for separatism, it was quite thin and reliant on local officials nimbly choosing between opposition and collaboration. But first and foremost, the viability and survival of the DNR and LNR relied on Russia–for material and financial support. Russian agents worked to keep running or build new state structures, repel Ukrainian efforts to retake the region by force, and keep the population under control. The Eurasian Knot talked to Kudelia about his new book Seize the City, Undo the State: The Inception of Russia's War on Ukraine to learn about the complexities behind Russia's seizure of the Donbas and how it set the stage for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Guest:Serhiy Kudelia is an associate professor of political science at Baylor University where he teaches and researches political violence, state-building and Eastern European politics. He also frequently comments on Ukrainian politics and US-Ukrainian relations in Ukrainian and Western media. His new book is Seize the City, Undo the State: The Inception of Russia's War on Ukraine published by Oxford University Press. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The bureaucratic deep state is toppling. In this episode, I talk about the corruption within the U.S. government, particularly through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and how Elon Musk and President Trump are working to expose and dismantle it signaling the potential collapse of corrupt government agencies.  -- Head to http://twc.health/turley and use code TURLEY to get 15% off plus Free Shipping. *The content presented by sponsors may contain affiliate links.

Case in point, even though President Trump has ordered a freeze on all monies coming out of USAID, officials there still approved over $6 million dollars in contracts just this past Friday, much of this under the guise of miscellaneous expenditures.” “USAID has been at the forefront of carrying out CIA operations like the Maidan revolution in Kiev back in 2014 when the US government overthrew a democratically elected but relatively pro-Russian government in Ukraine and thus began the series of events that led to this horrific war.” Timestamps: [01:02 Elon Musk putting USAID into the wood chipper [02:21] How USAID is used for money laundering and covert operations [08:54] USAID as a front for CIA operations [11:52] Elon Musk and President Trump putting an end to corrupt government agencies -- Thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode.  If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and/or leave a review.
