Podcast appearances and mentions of volodymyr zelenskyy

Terwijl we in Nederland de deconfiture van Schoof en de brokstukken van diens coalitie meemaakten, was er volop dynamiek rond de oorlog in Oekraïne. Die gebeurtenissen raken niet alleen de verhoudingen tussen het Kremlin en het Witte Huis, maar bovenal die in Europa en niet in het minst Den Haag op weg naar de verkiezingen van 29 oktober 2025. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger nemen je mee naar Anchorage (Alaska), heftig schermberaad tussen Kyiv en EU-leiders, naar een overvol Oval Office en het standbeeld van tsaar Alexander III in Moskou. En naar ‘de Michelangelo der slijmkunsten en vleierij’. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Onderhandeld werd er helemaal niet, conclusies en een vervolg van diplomatieke stappen werden niet vastgelegd. Iedereen bleef in verwarring achter. Het Kremlin kreeg alles wat het al een eeuw ambieert - erkenning als gelijkwaardige supermacht die eisen kan stellen - en hoefde daarvoor niets te doen. Trump kreeg zijn show met een gedroomde eregast. Maar het pièce de résistance - een ondernemerslunch voor grondstoffendeals - werd geschrapt. Om toch nog succes te veinzen werd druk uitgeoefend op Volodymyr Zelensky. Die 'heeft geen kaarten' immers en moest Poetins aanpak voor een vredesproces maar snel adopteren, gebood Trump hem vanuit Air Force One. Een waanzinnig weekend van paniekerig telefoneren, zoomsessies, Duits/Franse aarzelingen en lef bij Giorgia Meloni en Alexander Stubb leidde tot ongekende taferelen rond 'the resolute desk' in het Witte Huis. Jaap en PG maken van de draadjes, hints, lekken en signalen een coherent relaas van wat daar gebeurde. En welke rol Mark 'Michelangelo' Rutte in de schoot werd geworpen. Trump werd teruggevoerd naar de denklijn van de Haagse NAVO-top. De Alaska-top kreeg zo ineens wél een diplomatiek vervolg. Wenselijke resultaten - 'artikel vijf-achtige garanties' - staken de kop op. Poetin haalde al snel alle trucs tevoorschijn om zo'n concrete nasleep te frustreren en de NAVO- en EU-landen uit elkaar te spelen. EU en NAVO houden de route naar vrede - en elkaar! - nog goed vast. Worstelingen rond de tarieven spelen daarbij een hoofdrol, evenals Trumps afkeer van moeizame deals die hem al gauw vervelen als ze te ingewikkeld worden. Ineens begon hij weer over zijn vriend Kim en verweet Zelensky een obstakel en koppig te zijn. In de EU leeft nu wel massaal het besef dat de Unie alleen staat. We kunnen op niemand rekenen. Friedrich Merz en Emmanuel Macron snappen dat hun duo krachtig en snel moet herleven. Ook Mario Draghi stak opnieuw zijn nek uit en trok in Rimini – bijgevallen door Meloni - scherpe conclusies. En het gemarginaliseerde Nederland? Wat durven kabinet en Kamer te beslissen nu ook ons land gevraagd gaat worden actief mee te doen met garanties voor Kyiv? Kan Schoof deze geopolitiek essentiële vraag verzwijgen in de Troonrede? *** Verder luisteren 508 – De NAVO-top in Den Haag moet de onvoorspelbare Trump vooral niet gaan vervelen 497 – De krankzinnige tarievenoorlog van Donald Trump 496 - De paradoxen van Giorgia Meloni https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/b426432c-1d2d-4186-8c6d-3698da640a61 486 - ‘Welkom in onze hel’ Een jonge verslaggever aan het front in Oekraïne 484 - Hoe Trump chaos veroorzaakt en de Europeanen in elkaars armen drijft 476 – Trump II en de gevolgen voor Europa en de NAVO 447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor 446 - Doe wat Draghi zegt of Europa wacht een langzame doodsstrijd 427 - Europa wordt een grootmacht en daar moeten we het over hebben 419 - Europa kán sterven - Emmanuel Macrons visie op onze toekomst 413 - "Eensgezind kunnen we elke tegenstander aan."

President Zelensky has accused Moscow of using time meant for working towards peace talks to prepare for new attacks on Ukraine instead. Overnight bombardments in central and southeastern Ukraine left one person dead, and dozens injured. Also: The leader of the council at the centre of a legal battle over whether asylum seekers can be housed in hotels says he will decide on Monday whether to take the case to the Supreme Court. And: The Houthi's in Yemen have confirmed that Israeli strikes on the capital, Sanaa earlier this week, killed the group's prime minister.

In an extended conversation, Schreiber speaks actor-to-actor about Volodymyr Zelenskyy's rise from entertainer to war time leader.

The film includes never-before-seen footage from Zelenskyy's childhood and career. Join us for this historic conversation, plus a commentary from Laura.“I've always felt optimistic about this because [Ukraine is] on the side of truth. That's the kind of thing you can cover briefly, but it always comes out, it always surfaces. It's also the kind of thing that builds morale. It builds courage. It builds principle. They have that on their side, where the Russian military is struggling.” - Liev SchreiberGuest:  Liev Schreiber: Award-Winning Actor, Director & Writer; Co-Founder, BlueCheck Ukraine This show is made possible by you!

Candlelight Vigil Held for Victims of Minneapolis Shooting; Russian Air Strike Kills 15 in Kyiv | NTD Good Morning A candlelight vigil was held in Minneapolis to honor two children killed in Wednesday's school shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. Seventeen others were wounded but are expected to recover. The FBI has identified the shooter as a 23-year-old male who identified as female. President Donald Trump has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff nationwide.Russia launched one of its largest air assaults on Kyiv in weeks early on Thursday. At least 15 people are dead with more than 40 injured. Nearly 100 buildings were damaged as rescuers continue searching for survivors. Ukraine's interior minister says children were among the casualties. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack.The Trump administration is taking over management of Washington's Union Station from Amtrak, with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy saying his department will be investing in cleaning up the station. Duffy also took one of Amtrak's new next-generation Acela trains to New York City's Penn station to announce new measures to revamp the rail hub. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is supporting the renovation plans, and construction is set to begin in 2027 after the design is finished.

May 22nd is the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for Mariners and Seafarers. Bishop Brendan Cahill discusses the ministry of the church to seafarers through the work of Stella Maris. The day is intended to remember the men and women seafarers. Many seafarers are Catholic Christians and largely a migrant population in the world. Because of the nature of their work, they are not always a visible community presence. In over 50 ports, there are more than 100 Stella Maris chaplains, maritime deacons, and lay ecclesial ministers who minister to seafarers. They welcome, network, and reach out to seafarers, fishermen and women, their families, and all who work or travel on the seas. Through the celebration of the Eucharist and the Word of God, the chaplaincy team helps seafarers discover the loving presence of God in an often-challenging world. Their continued presence is a clear indication of their dedication to this vital pastoral ministry and love for the people of the sea. https://www.usccb.org/committees/pastoral-care-migrants-refugees-travelers/stella-maris-who-we-are On Wednesday, May 10, a panel of advisors to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted unanimously to make the birth-control drug, Opill, available to consumers over-the-counter in the United States. The FDA is reportedly poised to make a final decision this summer. In response to the FDA panel's recommendation, Bishop Robert E. Barron of Winona-Rochester, and chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth, urged the government agency to reject this advice as “not good medicine” and continue their efforts to protect women's health. Read the full statement. https://www.usccb.org/news/2023/fda-acknowledges-harm-oral-contraceptives-while-its-own-panel-advisors-push-make-drug After literally hundreds of public prayers for peace in Ukraine and 443 days after Russia launched an all-out war on the Eastern European country, Pope Francis welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the Vatican.

Die Amerikaanse president, Donald Trump, het weer gedreig om swaar ekonomiese strafmaatreëls teen Rusland in te stel as president Vladimir Putin weier om die oorlog teen Oekraïne te staak. Trump probeer persoonlike gesprekke bewerkstelling tussen Putin en president Volodymyr Zelensky van Oekraïne.

As Russia continues to pour cold water on the prospect of an imminent summit between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, efforts to end the war in Ukraine appear to have returned to a familiar holding pattern. Despite the fanfare surrounding key summits in Alaska and Washington, significant divisions remain on key issues from territorial concessions to security guarantees. So, with Trump once again restarting the clock on the deadline for Russian cooperation, what sort of progress can we expect in the coming weeks?Today, we're joined from Ukraine's Donbas region by our correspondent Quentin Sommerville, to discuss how the lives of those on the front line are being materially affected by diplomatic deadlock.

This is spiralling out of control... In recent days, we've seen tensions in Eastern Europe take an unexpected turn. The attack on a key pipeline seems to have been just the opening move in what some are calling a dangerous escalation. We're also seeing Ukrainian President Zelensky making some bold demands—like a perpetual billion-dollar commitment from NATO countries. He wants us to send him 1 billion dollars in perpetuity. He's also stepping back from previously discussed land concessions that were supposed to be a cornerstone of the peace talks.

On today's Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomic Aeronautical Systems, Sam Bendett of the Center for Naval Analyses and Dr. Eugene Rumer, the director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the outlook for peace between Ukraine and Russia in the wake of President Trump's meetings with Vladimir Putin in Alaska and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as well as allied leaders in Washington; status of the fighting as Russia continues to creep forward; how Ukraine manages to slow Russian advances as well as stop and push back significant incursions; whether the notion of granting Russia's demand for all of Donbas will lead to a lasting peace or merely pave the way for a third Russian attack; and what shape a peacekeeping force might take as the president suggests openness to supporting allied troops in Ukraine as well as US air power as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visits Kyiv to discuss a peacekeeping role.

President Trump has made clear he's interested in ending the war Russia has waged on Ukraine. After a flurry of diplomatic meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a variety of European leaders, is the prospect of peace near? We hear from NPR's correspondent in Moscow and a national security correspondent from the New York Times on whether progress has been made.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with former US negotiator, adviser and ambassador Dennis Ross. Today, Ross, an author and the counselor and William Davidson Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, also teaches at Georgetown University’s Center for Jewish Civilization. But for over a decade, he was the US point man on the arduous Israeli-Palestinian peace processes in both the George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations. We close the program by hearing thoughts on the current talks to end the Gaza War from a negotiator who was in the room "when it happened" -- or didn't. However, we begin the episode by asking Ross, who has decades of experience in Soviet and Middle East policy, for his analysis of this week's Alaska summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin and the subsequent meet-up between Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders. We then spin the globe and focus on Israel and the region -- present and past, including the two milestones of the 2005 Disengagement and the 2000 Camp David Summit. And so this week, we ask Ambassador Dennis Ross, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.

John welcomes Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia, back to the show to discuss the past week's flurry of diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the war in Ukraine. McFaul analyzes the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska; the subsequent visit of Volodymyr Zelensky and a phalanx of European leaders to the White House; the signals emanating from Russia that Putin's maximalist war aims remain unchanged; and the grim options facing Zelensky if the spate of summitry, as seems increasingly likely, results in nothing more than a return to the status quo ante.

On Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced it's launching a much-needed and super important investigation into Washington D.C.'s crime statistics. The DOJ said it's looking into whether the stats have been QUOTE: "manipulated" to make the crime rate seem lower. Why, might you ask, is the DOJ using time, money, and resources to look into this? Probably because it's searching for a way to justify President Donald Trump's takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department and deployment of National Guard troops to the district. However, it has been roughly two weeks since Trump's takeover, and we have some questions. Is DC's crime problem really that bad? And is it better now after federal intervention? We spoke with journalist Josh Barro. He's also co-host of the podcast "Serious Trouble".And in headlines, the Trump administration decides it doesn't want feedback from its federal employees, the White House says arrangements for a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Putin are underway, and Oklahoma is making sure teachers from California and New York aren't "woke".Show Notes:Check out Josh's post – https://tinyurl.com/2rrxxrsfCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Anna Bower, Chris Mirasola, and Mykhailo Soldatenko to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Wings and a Prayer.” The Ukraine conflict has been the subject of intense shuttle diplomacy over the past week, as President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin flew to a meeting in Alaska last Friday, only for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a cadre of European leaders to fly to Washington, DC, to meet with Trump yesterday at the White House. What do we know about their conversations? And could this be a turning point in the conflict?“Capital Offense.” It's been more than a week since President Trump chose to make law enforcement in Washington, DC—a city he has derided as “taken over by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals”—a national priority, by deploying hundreds of National Guard personnel and federal law enforcement officers to the streets and seeking to assert federal control over the police department, in ways that triggered a legal challenge by the city. What is motivating this major policy effort? And where does it seem likely to lead?“The Ep Files: I Want to Believe.” The Trump administration is reportedly installing a new “co-”deputy director at the FBI, in part because of controversy the current incumbent—former right-wing radio host Dan Bongino—has courted relating to the release of the so-called “Epstein Files.” And it's indicative of the major problems that these files—and the potential that they may say something about President Trump's relationship with the notorious sex offender for whom they are named—are causing President Trump and his administration. What's driving this rare point of dissent among the president's core supporters? And what ramifications could it have for our justice system?In object lessons, Anna hyped a new Kelce brothers podcast episode that featured some girl that Travis is dating. Chris recommended a crafty parenting hack: taking your kid to Michael's for some unplugged, creative fun.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently visited Washington, where he surprised many by wearing a suit instead of his usual military-style clothing while meeting with Donald Trump and Trump reportedly praised the wardrobe change. In this video Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger mock Zelensky as desperate for support amid Ukraine's difficult war situation. They highlight Zelensky's statements to European allies about sanctions, peace talks, and the need for security guarantees, but argue that his demands are unrealistic considering that the war is essentially lost. The segment concludes that Zelensky's political survival may be tied to prolonging the conflict, even as Europe and the U.S. appear divided on how to move forward. Plus segments on MSNBC's desperate rebrand as “MS NOW,” HHS Director Robert F. Kennedy deleting a tweet promoting a new universal vaccine, and millions of Israelis pouring into the streets to protest the ongoing war on Gaza. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Ryan Cristián!

The guys also debate whether or not Ukraine should be allowed into NATO as part of the peace agreements to end the war.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark. Marco Rubio's State Department has reduced the number of student visas by over 6,000 following an executive order issued in January that mandated a review for potential security risks. This visa enforcement is among the most prominent immigration measures keeping education safe from foreign threats and influences. Also, President Trump declared that he will lead a movement aimed at abolishing mail-in voting and electronic voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which was very overdue. He announced plans to sign an executive order, and he will succeed in ending the ballot corruption, once and for all. In addition, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This occurred during a phone call between Putin and President Trump right in the middle of a big meeting at the White House with Trump, Zelensky, and top European leaders. Trump told French President Emmanuel Macron, that he thinks Valdimir Putin wants to make a deal with him. Rutte later confirmed that Putin agreed to a meeting with Zelensky, though no confirmation on details yet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The conversation surrounding artificial intelligence in the US is hard to avoid right now. Powerful companies like Nvidia are making AI chips, doctors are using AI to revolutionize and enhance healthcare, and companies like Waymo have implemented the technology in self-driving cars. But even with all these advances, concerns continue to grow over how children are using AI. Reports about chatbots engaging children in "sensual" conversations have led to amplified concerns. However, others have found that students and teachers alike are using AI to complete schoolwork and create class assignments. For more information about the intersection of AI and America's children, we spoke with Lila Shroff, Assistant Editor at The Atlantic.And in headlines, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spruces up for his White House visit, President Donald Trump rants about the evil that is mail-in ballots, and MSNBC is changing its name to MS NOW.Show Notes:Check out Lila's work – theatlantic.com/author/lila-shroff/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the high-stakes showdown at the White House as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy faces Donald Trump in the Oval Office for the first time since their infamous clash — and this time, Zelenskyy shows up with Europe by his side. We discuss how European leaders made it abundantly clear they have Zelenskyy's back and weren't afraid to put Trump in his place after his humiliating meeting with Putin. We also dive into California Governor Gavin Newsom expertly trolling Trump on social media and absolutely rattling MAGA with his pitch-perfect mockery of Trump's tweet style. Finally, we examine how Trump continues to wage war on the United States itself, unleashing federal agents in D.C. and sowing chaos in the streets. Ben and Brett break it all down!

The Trump administration's crackdown on universities across the country for alleged antisemitism has made its way from the East Coast to the West Coast. Earlier this month, the administration demanded the University of California Los Angeles pay $1-billion to the federal government to resolve what it's calling civil rights violations. That was on top of more than half a billion dollars in cuts to federal research funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and other federal sources. But, a federal judge on Friday said the cuts to UCLA's funding violated a previous order and ruled some of the funding must be restored. To talk more about the impact the funding cuts have had, we spoke with Dr. Aradhna Tripati, a professor of climate science and geochemistry at UCLA. Joining her in the conversation is Monique Trinh, a program Manager in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine.And in the headlines: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House, Secretary of State Marco Rubio defends the department's decision to halt visitor visas for people from Gaza, and more National Guard troops are headed to DC at the behest of Trump.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Check out Save Our Science – https://sites.google.com/view/saveourscienceinitiative/home?authuser=0Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
