How do separatist conflicts arise and spread? When does separatism become a cover for a foreign aggression? How do local communities respond when state institutions collapse, and militants take over? The armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine, which started eight years before Russia's full-scale invasion, contains unique evidence to address each of these questions. In Seize the City, Undo the State: The Inception of Russia's War on Ukraine (Oxford UP, 2015), Serhiy Kudelia offers an authoritative study of the conflict at its initial stage--2013-14--based on a meticulous comparison of mobilization dynamics in over dozen towns of Donbas as well as in two major cities outside of it: Kharkiv and Odesa. Through his extensive travels and numerous interviews with conflict witnesses and participants, Kudelia explains how a small group of Russian agents and local militants succeeded in eliminating state control over the largest and most densely urbanized region of Ukraine but failed to do it elsewhere. Kudelia challenges the conventional accounts of the armed conflict in Donbas, which portray it either as an interstate conflict entirely manufactured by Moscow or as a civil war that broke out without any external influence. Instead, he argues that local actors prepared ideological and organizational basis for the uprising, but the successful spread of separatist control resulted from the covert intervention of Russian agents and widespread collaboration with them of town administrators and community activists. His findings also show that when enough members of local communities organized to resist militant takeovers, the separatist challenges there quickly dissipated. A fine-grained and highly original on-the-ground analysis of the origins of the wider Russian-Ukrainian war that broke out in 2022, this book offers broader insights into the conditions under which external intervention may trigger the rise of an armed insurgency in a society torn apart by political and ideological disagreements.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports some Ukrainians in the city of Odesa have reacted to a U.S. announcement that an agreement was reached between Ukrainian and Russian officials to ensure safe navigation in the Black Sea.

LORENZO RAMÍREZ: "EEUU tiene prisa. Trump quiere anunciar la tregua total en Ucrania el 20 de abril"Washington, Kiev y Moscú: las conversaciones trilaterales para acuerdos de paz. El famoso acuerdo de entrega de tierras raras y minerales se supone, según Trump, que ya está listo para firmarse. "El último bastión de la guerra de Ucrania está en Odesa, Rusia no va a renunciar a su control", explica el periodista económico Lorenzo Ramírez. La reunión entre EEUU y Rusia para abordar la guerra fue larga poniendo sobre la mesa las líneas rojas, reflejando que "EEUU tiene más prisa que Rusia en cerrar un acuerdo de tregua". No tanto porque vaya ganando Rusia, sino por el calendario fijado por la Casa Blanca, "quiere anunciar la tregua definitiva el 20 de abril", ya en el plan de cien días filtrado. Y para el 9 de mayo ya esperan tener un plan completo de paz. "El alto el fuego es propaganda para justiciar la negociación cuando la guerra sigue", ha defendido Lorenzo Ramírez. China ofreció a Rusia la opción de enviar soldados en Ucrania, pero Rusia se opone a soldados de la OTAN, por lo que Putin no puede meter más soldados en Ucrania. "La ruptura total que intentan vendernos entre EEUU y Europa es ficticia" y es normal caer en ella. Se trata de minas ucranianas y puertos de gas que ahora mismo negocia la Casa Blanca para que pasen a estar bajo tutela norteamericana, pero realmente lo controlarán los británicos y los franceses. El plan de EEUU es usar a ucrania como la gasolinera europea con recursos comprados a Rusia, y si esto es así tendrán que poner fuerzas militares en Ucrania. "Francia es el gran enfermo europeo y Alemania está cogiendo el virus ucraniano", pero Francia en la cabeza de una economía europea que sobrevive con el sector servicios. Lorenzo Ramírez ha señalado que la industria europea lleva en contracción casi dos años, por debajo de las 50 unidades que marcan la diferencia entre expansión y contracción. Y España debe fijarse en el espejo francés para que vea cual será su futuro si no cambia su rumbo. En un momento de baja demanda interna en países europeos como Francia y Alemania, defiende Lorenzo Ramírez. Cuando entren en vigor los aranceles, habrá consecuencias en estos países, porque el gasto público no genera riqueza, "acaba con el ahorro presente y futuro de la población". #lorenzoramirez #eeuu #ucrania #paz #tregua #trump #putin #rusia #ukrainewar #geopoltiica #casablanca #zelensky #negociostv #vizner  Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Suscríbete a nuestro segundo canal, másnegocios: https://n9.cl/4dca4Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

Russland führt seit 2014 Krieg in und gegen die Ukraine, seit 2022 sogar unbegrenzt. „Deutsche Verantwortung“ kann in diesem Zusammenhang daraus erwachsen. dass Deutschland das wirtschaftlich stärkste Land des Kontinents ist und dass Deutschland die meisten Einwohner in der EU hat. Sie kann auch daraus abgeleitet werden, dass Deutschlands Lage in Europa zum Handeln verpflichtet. Ohne Deutschland, so könnte man argumentieren, geht nicht viel.Und es gibt die deutsche Geschichte, es gibt eine historische Verantwortung. Diese wird tatsächlich auch immer wieder in der Diskussion über Deutschlands Rolle in diesem Krieg thematisiert – oft jedoch geschichtsverfälschend und manipulativ.Darüber sprechen wir in dieser Sitzung mit dem Botschafter der Ukraine Oleksii Makeiev.Link: Appell der Deutsch-Ukrainischen Historischen Kommission an den Deutschen BundestagLiteraturtipp: Tatjana Tönsmeyer, Unter Deutscher Besatzung, C.H.Beck, 652 Seiten, 38 €Unterstützen Sie uns einmalig oder regelmäßig hierUnser Schwesterpodcast: Der Hauptausschuss der SalonkolumnistenDie Website der SalonkolumnistenDer Ostausschuss der Salonkolumnisten auf TwitterUnser Gast auf Twitter: Botschafter Oleksii MakeievDas Panel auf Twitter:Dr. Franziska DaviesProf. Jan Claas BehrendsDr. Gustav GresselGabriele WoidelkoDas Moderationsteam:Jan-Philipp HeinRichard VolkmannDavid HarnaschProducer: David HarnaschTitle track vocals: Masha (10, from Odesa)

Edition No115 | 21-03-2025 - Russian drones have hit civilian targets in Ukraine's Odesa. the port city is ‘on fire' after a ‘massive' Russian attack against civilian targets and civilian infrastructure. Three people were injured, and a high-rise apartment building and a shopping centre destroyed. This is the essence of the Russian World – violence, mayhem and a desire to spread fear. This is Russia's response to Trump's so-called peace deal; this is what American weakness and naivety leads to. Rather than dampening down Russia's violence, it provokes into yet more intense fury. Russian forces launched a mass drone attack on Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa late on Thursday, striking three locations that triggered fires, while three districts of the city suffered from power cuts. Odesa has been a frequent target of Russian attacks in the three-year war, particularly the city's port facilities, which handle vital grain exports and provide essential income to support the Ukrainian economy.Odesa was engulfed in flames just, hours after US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about ending the war and as peace talks are set to resume on Monday. Although they are more and more coming to resemble capitulation and betrayal talks, which pointedly are taking place between the US and Russia, but with little to no influence in the process from Ukraine or Europe. Trump recently held separate phone calls with Putin and Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky on implementing a partial ceasefire – projected optimism about reaching an end to the war on Thursday, saying “we're doing pretty well in that regard.” Reality tells a different story. ----------LINKS:https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-drones-hit-civilian-targets-odesa-cause-injuries-officials-say-2025-03-20/https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/21/europe/ukraine-russia-odesa-fire-trump-intl-hnk/index.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/world/europe/czech-president-pavel-was-odesa-russia-pounded-city-with-drones-2025-03-21/----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

Erst acht und dann weitere drei Jahre hat Europa nicht verstanden, was Russland plant, warum es die Ukraine überfallen hat und viele andere Länder gezielt destabilisiert. Wir sind beim Café Kyiv der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung der Frage nachgegangen, ob nun endlich klar ist, was die Stunde geschlagen hat oder ob immer noch zu viele aus Wirtschaft und Politik auf die Rückkehr zu einer Normalität mit dem russischen Regime hoffen, die es nicht geben wird.Unterstützen Sie uns einmalig oder regelmäßig hierUnser Schwesterpodcast: Der Hauptausschuss der SalonkolumnistenDie Website der SalonkolumnistenDer Ostausschuss der Salonkolumnisten auf TwitterDas Panel auf Twitter:Dr. Franziska DaviesProf. Jan Claas BehrendsDr. Gustav GresselGabriele WoidelkoDas Moderationsteam:Jan-Philipp HeinRichard VolkmannDavid HarnaschProducer: David HarnaschTitle track vocals: Masha (10, from Odesa)

Day 1,108.Today, Russian forces split Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region and advance towards the border. Meanwhile, Russia targets a Ukrainian gas facility with missiles and drones just after Zelensky calls for a truce on attacks on infrastructure. On the political side, we discuss the consequences of the withdrawal of US intelligence to Ukraine, the French nuclear shield offer, and Russia's response to the idea of European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine. We also look to Washington for the Hegseth and Healey summit. Lastly, we sit down with Sir Bill Browder and Yuliya Ziskina to discuss why Russian frozen assets should be transferred to Ukraine for defence spending and reparations.

Cuộc chiến tại sườn đông châu Âu kéo dài từ ba năm qua, khiến những trẻ em mồ côi cha mẹ, những thường dân phải đối mặt với tiếng bom đạn hàng ngày, khiến hàng triệu người phải bỏ nhà bỏ cửa, rời khỏi Ukraina đi lánh nạn, gây ra những vết thương tâm lý, dù là những binh lính trên chiến tuyến hay những người tị nạn xa xứ. Nhiều người đã tìm đến trị liệu bằng nghệ thuật, để “chữa lành” những thương tổn tâm lý đó. Tại Ukraina, có một “cơn lốc tội lỗi”, theo nhận định của nhà làm phim Iryna Tsilyk, được báo Anh The Guardian trích dẫn: “Mỗi người trong chúng ta đều cảm thấy tội lỗi. Những người rời khỏi đất nước cảm thấy tội lỗi với những người ở lại. Những người ở lại nhưng sống ở hậu phương, cảm thấy tội lỗi với quân đội. Quân đội có tội lỗi riêng, họ cảm thấy tội lỗi với những người anh em của họ, những người có những cấp độ kinh nghiệm khác nhau.” Những người sống sót cảm thấy tội lỗi khi đồng đội bị giết nhưng mình thoát chết, không hề hấn gì. Có những người cảm thấy tội lỗi vì không “làm đủ” để giúp nỗ lực chiến tranh.20 % dân số Ukraina có nguy cơ gặp vấn đề về sức khỏe tinh thầnTheo Tổ chức Y Tế Thế Giới (WHO), trong số những người trải qua chiến tranh hoặc xung đột, thì 22 % sẽ mắc chứng trầm cảm, lo âu, rối loạn căng thẳng sau chấn thương, rối loạn lưỡng cực hoặc tâm thần phân liệt. WHO ước tính có khoảng 9,6 triệu người ở Ukraina (gần một phần tư dân số Ukraine) có thể có vấn đề về tình trạng sức khỏe tâm thần.Theo bộ Giáo dục và Khoa học Ukraina, được Reuters trích dẫn, nếu trong những ngày đầu cuộc chiến, thách thức lớn nhất là làm sao bảo đảm an toàn cho người dân trước những đợt tấn công của Nga, thì nhu cầu hỗ trợ tâm lý cho giáo viên và học sinh dần tăng mạnh vào năm 2023. Hơn 50.000 trẻ em Ukraina đã tìm kiếm sự trợ giúp chuyên nghiệp về các vấn đề sức khỏe tâm thần.Tại một số bệnh viện ở Ukraina, hay trong các trung tâm tiếp đón những người phải di tản vì chiến tranh, hiệp hội ART THERAPY FORCE, sử dụng các liệu pháp nghệ thuật để hỗ trợ sức khoẻ tinh thần, tâm lý và cảm xúc, cho những cựu chiến binh.Tổ chức phi chính phủ DTCare cũng đã triển khai chương trình trị liệu nghệ thuật tại Odesa, Ukraina, cùng với Quỹ từ thiện của Hải quân Ukraina dành cho cựu chiến binh và gia đình của họ, đặc biệt là trẻ em và phụ nữ.Nhiều sáng kiến chữa trị, hỗ trợ tâm lý khác cũng đã được khởi xướng. Tại Kiev, theo tường trình của RFI tiếng Ukraina, dự án "Support Paw" hỗ trợ cho trẻ em bị tổn thương do chiến tranh, với phương pháp trị liệu bằng thú cưng giúp trẻ em thích nghi và giao lưu thông qua trò chơi và đọc sách, bên cạnh sự đồng hành thú cưng, biến những chú chó thành bác sĩ tâm lý (canisterapy). Sunny là tên của một chú chó berger Úc, đã “hành nghề” trị liệu tâm lý cho trẻ em từ hơn sáu tháng qua. Để đảm nhận vị trí này, Sunny trước đó phải tham gia các khoá đào đạo đặc biệt. Hiện Sunny, chơi đùa, đọc sách cùng trẻ trong một hiệu sách ở thủ đô Ukraina.  Bà Maryna Prokopenko, lãnh đạo của trung tâm trị liệu bằng thú cưng InNikos cho biết : “Ban đầu, những đứa trẻ này vui đùa với chú chó, cùng làm các động tác khác nhau, ra lệnh, huấn luyện chúng, và ngồi xuống đọc sách với chúng.” Một buổi trị liệu bằng thú cưng kéo dài vài giờ. Trẻ em, lần lượt đọc sách cùng những chú chó. Sách loại nào không quan trọng, mà quá trình mới quan trọng. Theo những người tổ chức, việc đọc to giúp trẻ em thư giãn. Sự kiện như vậy, lần đầu tiên được tổ chức ở hiệu sách này vào ngày 4/02. Ban tổ chức cho biết sẽ duy trì hoạt động này vào mỗi thứ Ba hàng tuần, mở cửa miễn phí cho tất cả mọi người.Đọc sách với chó cũng giúp những đứa trẻ phải di tản vì chiến tranh, có thể tìm bạn mới, và cảm thấy là thành viên của cộng đồng. Bà Hanna Khomenko, đồng sáng lập tổ chức « Children of Heroes », cho biết : “Đó là những đứa trẻ mồ côi cha hoặc mẹ, hoặc cả hai do chiến tranh. Tại Ukraina, hiện chúng tôi phụ trách hỗ trợ khoảng 13 000 đứa trẻ. Gần 9 000 gia đình đã mất ít nhất một người thân”.Rối loạn tâm lý do chiến tranhTrong khi trẻ em tại Kiev, thường xuyên phải nghe tiếng còi báo động phòng không, thì gần chiến tuyến, hầu hết các trường học đóng cửa vì lo ngại về an toàn, theo Reuters, có nghĩa là từ ba năm qua, lũ trẻ hiếm khi được gặp bạn bè của chúng. Bà Katerina Timakina, sáng lập tổ chức Sane Ukraine hỗ trợ giáo viên về mặt tâm lý, cho rằng “đây là một vấn đề lớn mà chúng ta sẽ phải đối mặt trong tương lai vì thế hệ trẻ em này đã không có các tương tác với bên ngoài, nghĩa là giao tiếp, giao lưu, thích nghi với thói quen trong 3 năm, phải đối mặt với chứng rối loạn căng thẳng hậu chấn thương tâm lý và rối loạn phát triển hậu chấn thương tâm lý vì chiến tranh”.Vào năm 2022, bộ Y Tế Ukraina ước tính hơn 90% người dân Ukraina có ít nhất một trong các triệu chứng của chứng rối loạn căng thẳng sau chấn thương (PTSD). Vào năm 2023, bộ này cho biết có tới 4 triệu trẻ em có thể cần được hỗ trợ tâm lý để đối phó với những chấn thương của cuộc xâm lược do Nga tiến hành.Tổ chức DTCare nêu ra vấn đề chăm sóc sức khoẻ tâm thần tại nước Liên Xô cũ. Dưới sự kiểm soát của Matxcơva trước khi Liên Xô sụp đổ, những người phản đối chế độ bị gắn mác là 'bệnh tâm thần' và bị giam giữ trong các bệnh viện tâm thần. Hệ thống chăm sóc y tế tại Ukraina cũng tồn tại nhiều bất cập do thiếu lòng tin, thiếu hiểu biết và nhận thức về vấn đề sức khoẻ tâm ký, sợ kỳ thị và xấu hổ, khiến mọi người ngại ngần tìm sự giúp đỡ y tế.Neil Greenberg, giáo sư sức khỏe tâm thần quốc phòng tại trường đại học King's College ở London, được AP trích dẫn, đã đào tạo trực tuyến cho quân đội Ukraina về cách xử lý các dấu hiệu tổn thương tâm lý. Theo ông Greenberg, “không giống như những người lính đã chiến đấu ở Afghanistan hoặc cho quân đội Hoa Kỳ trong chiến tranh Việt Nam, những người lính Ukraina đang chiến đấu tại quê hương của họ, với sự ủng hộ rõ ràng của công chúng, một kẻ thù rõ ràng và các mục tiêu và lý do chính đáng vững chắc, và điều này có thể giúp giảm bớt hậu quả về sức khỏe tinh thần cho các cựu chiến binh Ukraina.”Trị liệu bằng nghệ thuật dưới góc nhìn từ những người tị nạnĐối với những người Ukraina phải xa xứ vì chiến tranh, chủ yếu là phụ nữ và trẻ em và người cao tuổi,( ước tính lên đến 6 triệu người kể từ đầu cuộc xung đột), liệu pháp nghệ thuật cũng được coi là một biện pháp hỗ trợ tâm lý, khi phải xa xa gia đình, để lại người thân ở Ukraina, mà chồng của một số người phải ở lại, gia nhập quân đội chống Nga. Cô Angela Itskovych cùng con trai rời Ukraina đến lánh nạn tại Pháp từ năm 2022, và nhận được quy chế bảo hộ tạm thời của châu Âu. Cho đến nay, ký ức về ngày đầu cuộc chiến nổ ra như thế nào, phải rời khỏi Ukraina trên chiếc xe chật ních người, sang đến Đức rồi đến Pháp ra sao, vẫn hiện rõ trong tâm trí cô. Cùng với một nhóm phụ nữ Ukraina khác tại Pháp, vào tháng 12/2022, cô đã mở một lớp nhảy, hỗ trợ tâm lý cho những phụ nữ Ukraina khác có cùng hoàn cảnh.Trả lời RFI Việt ngữ, Angela cho biết : "Lúc đầu, hoạt động này giúp chúng tôi tạo một cộng đồng của riêng mình. Khi nhảy cùng nhau, chúng tôi cảm thấy gần gũi hơn, trải qua nhiều thời gian cùng nhau, và dần dần coi nhau như gia đình. Điều quan trọng nhất với chúng tôi là làm sao thích ứng được cuộc sống ở đây, để hiểu hoàn cảnh của chính mình, để hiểu cách những người khác, nhìn thấy chúng tôi ra sao, và cho phép chúng tôi chia sẻ những câu chuyện ẩn giấu sâu bên trong.Tại sao lại nhảy ? Vì có những chủ đề không thể nói ra, vì những phụ nữ này đến từ những thành phố khác nhau của Ukraina, một số đã phải chứng kiến những cảnh không thể tưởng tượng được và rất khó để hiểu, để kể chuyện gì đã xảy ra.  Hầu hết chúng tôi ai cũng mang theo trẻ con, đi tị nạn. Việc di chuyển trong các điệu nhảy khác nhau khiến chúng tôi dễ dàng bày tỏ bằng các chuyển động của cơ thể, và sau đó có thể giãi bày dễ dàng hơn, cởi mở hơn. Nhảy giúp chúng tôi chữa lành về mặt tâm lý, không cảm thấy bị đóng băng ở bên trong và cở mở hơn”. Lớp nhảy trị liệu - Dance Therapy, do cô Angela khởi xướng, ban đầu chỉ là một hoạt động tự phát, nhưng dần dần đã thu hút được hơn 200 phụ nữ Ukraina từ khắp nước Pháp tham gia, đủ mọi lứa tuổi. Đó là những phụ nữ di tản từ Kiev, Odessa, Dnirpo, Lviv, mỗi người có một hành trình câu chuyện riêng. Hiện cô Angela cũng đã đăng ký để lớp nhảy của mình trở thành một hiệp hội, không chỉ hỗ trợ cho cộng đồng tị nạn Ukraina tại Pháp, mà cả những người tị nạn quốc tịch khác khác tại Pháp và cũng mở cửa cho tất cả công chúng Pháp tại muốn thử.Cô Anastasia, một trong những người tham gia vào hoạt động này chia sẻ : “ Nếu là một người tị nạn, thì thường sẽ nghĩ rằng mình là nạn nhân và phải vượt qua hoàn cảnh đó. Việc kết nối với những người từ các nước khác trong lớp nhảy này , những người Pháp và những người khác, khiến tôi bắt đầu thấy họ như là những người bình đẳng chứ không phải những người đến giúp đỡ, cứu vớt chúng tôi, và chúng tôi là nạn nhân… Bởi trước kia, tôi từng nghĩ mình là nạn nhân và mắc trầm cảm vì suy nghĩ đó. Khi nhảy, lúc lăn bò xuống sàn, thực hiện những động tác kỳ lạ cùng với nhau, tôi cảm thấy cởi mở hơn với mọi người, và khi đi ra khỏi phòng nhảy, tôi có thể làm những thứ mà trước kia tôi rất sợ, ví dụ như là trả lời phỏng vấn từ nhà báo, kể câu chuyện của mình. Và tôi thấy rằng thế giới vẫn rộng mở với tôi, quan trọng là tôi vẫn còn sống”. Ban đầu lớp nhảy được tổ chức theo tuần, với sự hỗ trợ của một bác sĩ tâm lý và một giáo viên dạy nhảy, nhưng sau đó dần phát triển thành một dự án hỗ trợ tâm lý cho những phụ nữ Ukraina qua những khoá nhảy có chủ đề, với một dự án làm phim tài liệu.Nhiều nghiên cứu đã chứng minh hiệu quả của liệu pháp nghệ thuật trong việc giảm các triệu chứng lo âu, căng thẳng và trầm cảm lên đến 73% và xu hướng tự hủy hại bản thân ở thanh thiếu niên giảm xuống 54%. Đối với cựu chiến binh, liệu pháp nghệ thuật đã cho thấy sự cải thiện 50% đối với các triệu chứng của Rối loạn căng thẳng sau chấn thương (PTSD).

President Volodymyr Zelensky has hit back at US President Donald Trump's suggestion that Ukraine started the war and that his popularity ratings are low. In forthright comments from a former close US ally, Mr Zelensky said Mr Trump was trapped in a disinformation bubble created by Russia. It comes as he is due to have talks with US envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg. We get the reaction of a Ukrainian MP and hear from the city of Odesa. Also in the programme: Hamas says it's willing to release all remaining hostages in one go in exchange for a full withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza; and the discovery of the first ancient Egyptian pharaoh's tomb in more than a century.(Picture: Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky gives a press conference in Kyiv, Ukraine on February 19, 2025.

We're joined by a resident of Odesa who has lived through the full-scale invasion since 2022. After our main episode on the war, we felt it was important to hear a Ukrainian perspective. In this conversation, we explore the psychological impact the war is having on Odesa's residents and how their resilience is evolving, particularly as Russia's naval power continues to falter.

This week, Boris Dralyuk on a compelling portrait of the Black Sea port of Odesa, past and present; and Russell Williams is put in mind of the rumpled TV detective Columbo by a pacy French novel.'Undefeatable: Odesa in Love and War', by Julian Evans'Bristol', by Jean EchenozProduced by Charlotte Pardy Hosted on Acast.

What's going on in Ukraine and what does 2025 hold for its people? Journalist Jen Stout has reported on the war in Ukraine for Prospect, the Sunday Post and others—and her prize-winning book Night Train to Odesa was published last year.Now, for our first episode of the year, she joins deputy editor Ellen Halliday to talk about the situation. What will the year ahead look like in Ukraine? What challenges does Kyiv face? And what will its relationship with Trump's America look like? She also reflects on the role of Derzhprom, a constructivist building in Kharkiv, in the psyche of the city.Plus, producer Imaan joins Ellen to weigh in on new year's resolutions: banger or dud? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Julian Evans first visited the city of Odesa, Ukraine on a boat journey down the Dnipro River in 1994. He fell in love with its distinct personality as a self-contained world. He also fell in love with a local woman, and for nearly thirty years, her city became his city, too. His new book, Undefeatable: Odesa in Love and War, weaves memoir with history and literature to give us a haunting portrait of a country struggling against terrible odds to survive.  We spoke about the city of Odesa, his visits to front line combat zones, and what Russia's war means for Europe.

De oppositie wil het liefst zo snel mogelijk door middel van een motie van wantrouwen de Franse regering naar huis sturen. Reden is de onvrede over de begroting voor het komend jaar. En daarmee verkeert Frankrijk alweer in een nieuwe politieke crisis, de tweede binnen een half jaar. Wordt Frankrijk een stuurloos land? En wat gaan wij daarvan merken in Europa? Daarover correspondent Eva Rammeloo. (11:35) De cultuurstrijd in Odesa Onze Oekraïne-verslaggever Michiel Driebergen is terug van een recent bezoek aan de belangrijke havenstad Odesa. De stad ligt niet alleen onder vuur van Russische drones en raketten, maar ook intern woedt er een hevige strijd. Het historische erfgoed van de stad is onder druk komen te staan, zoals bijvoorbeeld het werk van de wereldberoemde in Odesa geboren schrijver Isaak Babel. Volgens Michiel Driebergen zal de uitkomst van deze culturele ‘oorlog' de toekomst van het land bepalen. Presentatie: Tim de Wit

It is a grim milestone, more than 1000 days have passed since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In the past week, attacks on the country have once again intensified. As winter approaches and temperatures drop, Russia is targeting Ukraine's energy system to leave millions of people without power. In our conversations, Ukrainians discuss their daily lives and resilience after almost three years of war and we hear from people in Dnipro and Odesa recovering from the latest attacks. “We're being attacked not only with the rockets but also psychologically,” Lidia in Dnipro tells us. We also bring together three Ukrainian politicians to discuss how they keep democracy alive while maintaining a united front to the World and ask whether Donald Trump could really end the war in a day.

This week: SAS SOS The enemy that most concerns Britain's elite military unit isn't the IRA, the Taliban or Isis, but a phalanx of lawyers armed with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), writes Paul Wood in The Spectator. Many SAS soldiers now believe that if they kill a terrorist during an operation, they'll spend decades being hounded through the courts. Paul speaks to former SAS soldiers who say that stories of men being ‘dragged back to be screamed at in interview rooms' are ‘flying around the canteens now'. Soldiers feel like ‘the good guys have become the bad guys – and the bad guys are now the good guys'. This is hurting morale and may eventually hit recruitment. Paul joins the podcast to discuss further, alongside Colonel Richard Williams, a former SAS commanding officer in Iraq and Afghanistan. (01:36) Then: how much more punishment can Ukrainian city Odesa take? The Black Sea port of Odesa occupies a unique role in Ukrainian – and Soviet – history. Added significance has been thrust on it by the Russian invasion: both symbolically, as well as practically, given how central it is to grain exports. But while war weariness sets in for Ukrainians – and their allies – the battle for Odesa is ever more crucial; further deadly aerial attacks took place only days ago. In the magazine this week, journalist Peter Pomerantsev reviews a new book looking at the port city by Julian Evans. Undefeatable: Odesa in Love and War is part-history book, part-memoir exploring many of the human stories that make up the city. How has the conflict changed the people of Odesa? And for Ukrainians who grew up consuming Russian-speaking media and culture, did the war challenge their identity? Peter joins the podcast alongside the author of the Spectator's Ukraine newsletter, Svitlana Morenets. (18:24) And finally: do we secretly love a good film flop? ‘I've fallen out of love with cinemas,' declares long-standing (or should that be long-suffering?) film critic Chris Tookey in the magazine this week. He argues the experience isn't as good, and Hollywood is partly to blame. Perhaps films are getting worse? Some people love a good film flop though – the big-budget blockbuster disasters. Fellow film critic Tim Robey is one such person, and he explores his love of Hollywood flops in his new book Box Office Poison, out now. But how has the experience of cinema changed? And what's the worst film they've ever seen? Tim and Chris join the podcast. (32:58) Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

Geopolitics analyst Dr. Swasti Rao travelled across Ukraine as the war marked 1000 days, earlier this month. In the first part of ThePrint Series, she narrates her experiences in Ukraine's port city of Odesa which has also been a frequent target of Russia's relentless missile attacks. She says,'Odesa stands as a symbol of resilience and a crucial hub for global maritime trade, particularly ensuring food security for nations in the ‘Global South''. ----more----Read full article here: https://theprint.in/opinion/i-saw-ukraines-resilience-from-an-air-shelter-in-odesa-it-simply-refuses-to-fall/2368734/

The stakes in Ukraine have again been laid bare. A Russian ballistic missile hit Odesa today, killing at least eight people, with children among the seriously injured. So the news that President Biden will allow the use of powerful long-range American weapons inside Russia may feel timely, although Russia says the decision will throw "oil on the fire."

As the pioneer of Vitis Vinifera in the Eastern US, Dr. Konstantin Frank is one of the key leaders of the Fingers Lakes region in New York.

NATO fighter jets were scrambled in response to a Russian drone attack near Ukraine's Odesa region, close to the Romanian border. We'll discuss this escalation and why NATO remains on high alert over increasing Russian provocations. Plus, the Department of Homeland Security has issued a new report, warning of heightened threats to the U.S. in the coming year, particularly from migrants with possible terrorism ties. And in today's Back of the Brief, an update on the labor dispute at U.S. ports across the East Coast and Gulf region, as Florida's governor expresses concern that the strike could be hampering hurricane relief efforts.
