Podcast appearances and mentions of Vladimir Putin

The Historical Roots of Russian Brutality and Putin's Ideological Driver. Professor Eugene Finkel explains that the pervasive cruelty in Russian forces stems from a historical willingness to use extreme violence, where human life is cheap, evident from Stalin's cynical fears of losing Ukraine to modern conflicts. Russians are willing to make Ukraine a desert to secure control, employing methods consistent with their actions in Chechnya and Syria. In 2022, Putin, trapped in isolation with like-minded nationalists, believed Ukrainians would not fight back. His motivation was the fundamental belief that Ukraine is not a real state and must not defy Russia by choosing its own path. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: A Native Russian Speaker and the Evolution of Ukrainian National Identity. Professor Eugene Finkel notes that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has an unusual background: Jewish, a native Russian speaker, and a successful media entrepreneur and comedian. His election symbolizes Ukraine's evolving identity, moving from an ethnic definition to a national commitment to the state, regardless of language. Zelenskyy won as an outsider, hoping his background would enable him to negotiate a peaceful resolution regarding Donbas and Crimea directly with Vladimir Putin, bringing optimism to the new generation. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. 1855

Putin's Revisionist History and the 2014 Invasion of Crimea and Donbas. Professor Eugene Finkel analyzes how, isolated during the pandemic, Vladimir Putin wrote a historical essay in 2021 based on myths, asserting that Ukraine has always been Russia and must be fully subordinated. This vision clarified his expansionist goals. The 2014 Euromaidan uprising, which deposed the pro-Russian president, convinced Putin he had to act. He seized Crimea and fostered uprisings in Donbas using Russian infiltrators. Though many locals spoke Russian, most considered themselves Ukrainians wanting independence, not Russian rule. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. 1855

Khrushchev, Crimea, and Putin's Perception of Ukraine as "Soviet Florida". Professor Eugene Finkel discusses Khrushchev's 1954 transfer of Crimea to Ukraine, undertaken for purely economic and practical reasons, though it remains a point of contention today. During the Soviet "golden period," Ukraine became vital, providing coal, industrial manufacturing, and ballistic missiles. Vladimir Putin's image of Ukraine was formed during this time, seeing it as an unquestioned extension of Russia. Due to forced Russification and its popularity as the "Soviet Florida," Putin saw Ukraine as part of Russia, a perception that was not up for debate. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. 1855 CRIMEA

Warum haben deutsche Politiker jahrzehntelang Warnungen vor Russlands Präsident ausgeblendet, obwohl schon früh klar war, dass Putin auch dunkle Seiten hat. Dass er großrussische Fantasien hegt, das wussten Geheimdienste schon lange und auch, dass er für seine Ziele immer wieder über Leichen gegangen ist. Doch erst der Angriff auf die Ukraine im Februar 2022 hat die Bundesregierung zu einem Kurswechsel gegenüber Moskau bewegt. In dieser 11KM-Episode erzählt der Investigativjournalist Georg Mascolo, warum es so lange gedauert hat, bis deutsche Spitzenpolitiker das wahre Gesicht Putins sehen wollten.

Președintele ucrainean Volodimir Zelenski a început un turneu diplomatic în Europa. Duminică, la Atena, el a semnat un important acord privind furnizarea de gaze. Turneul continuă la Paris și Madrid. Este prima acțiune diplomatică de amploare a președintelui ucrainean după izbucnirea marelui scandal de corupție de la Kiev. Iar Ucraina are nevoie urgentă să-și repare credibilitatea. Ucraina va importa gaze naturale lichefiate din SUA, prin Grecia, pentru a-și acoperi nevoile din această iarnă, transmite Reuters. Acordul a fost parafat în timpul vizitei de duminică la Atena a președintelui Volodimir Zelenski. Acesta a fost primit de premierul grec Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Ucraina va importa gazele printr-o conductă care traversează Peninsula Balcanică. După cum specifică ziarul belgian Le Soir, Ucraina a fost lovită în ultimele săptămâni de  „cea mai mare campanie de bombardamente împotriva infrastructurii sale de gaze”. Vizita de la Atena a fost primul popas într-un turneu european întreprins de Zelenski, într-un moment dificil, atât pe câmpul de luptă cât și în plan politic. Liderul ucrainean se va afla astăzi la Paris. Președinții Macron și Zelenski vor discuta chestiuni legate de relațiile bilaterale, energie, economie și apărare, potrivit unui comunicat al președinției franceze. Consolidarea apărării aeriene Apoi, Zelenski va călători, marți, în Spania. Potrivit Politico, Zelenski nu a menționat un acord specific cu Madridul, dar a spus într-o postare separată pe X că va purta discuții privind consolidarea apărării aeriene. Vizita vine într-un moment în care Ucraina se străduiește să limiteze pagubele provocate de scandalul de corupție de mare amploare vizând plăți ascunse percepute clienților unor mari companii de stat. În ultimele zile, Kievul a dezvăluit o serie de măsuri pentru a-și liniști aliații. Potrivit unui oficial ucrainean de rang înalt, citat de Politico, guvernul de la Kiev dorește să se implice de urgență în curățarea schemelor corupte, deoarece acestea subminează țara în fața atacului continuu al președintelui rus Vladimir Putin. Aceste măsuri au inclus demiterea aproape imediată a miniștrilor justiției, respectiv energiei. În plus, guvernul a anunțat un nou consiliu de supraveghere al operatorului de energie nucleară Energoatom – companie de stat aflată în centrul scandalului. A fost anunțat un audit financiar major al contractelor de achiziții publice de stat. De asemenea, Guvernul a oprit concursul pentru postul de șef al sistemului de transport al gazelor din Ucraina, deoarece unul dintre finaliști a fost prezentat pe interceptările procurorilor ca potențial suspect. Potrivit unui analist ucrainean citat de Politico, astfel de reforme ar putea transforma fiasco-ul reputațional într-o oportunitate de a demonstra că Ucraina dorește într-adevăr să elimine definitiv corupția. Iar Ucraina are nevoie de o asemenea mișcare, cu atât mai mult cu cât europenii se află în căutare de soluții politice și tehnice în vederea acordării unui împrumut de 140 de miliarde de euro către Ucraina. Cei 27 nu reușesc să se pună de acord asupra folosirii drept garanții a activelor rusești înghețate sau a altor modalități de asigurare a banilor. Iar în această situație, credibilitatea Ucrainei este cu atât mai importantă.  Ascultați rubrica ”Eurocronica”, cu Ovidiu Nahoi, în fiecare zi, de luni până vineri, de la 8.45 și în reluare duminica, de la 15.00, numai la RFI România

251117MM Nein, meine Söhne kriegt ihr nicht!Mahler meint am 17.11.2025„Nein, meine Söhne kriegt ihr nicht!“ sagte meine Tochter Sonja in einem Telefongespräch zu mir. Inzwischen war klar geworden, dass ihre Söhne – sie hat 3 – auf jeden Fall gemustert werden würden. Wenn auch die Wehrpflicht für alle nun wohl nicht kommen wird. Dennoch versetzt sie die Aussicht, dass Nick, 17, Paul, 16 und Felix, jetzt 10 Jahre alt eines Tages zur Bundeswehr gehen müssten. Das ist ja gerade eine beängstigende Situation. Der Krieg ist schleichend bei uns angekommen. Letzte Woche flogen zwei Kampfjets im Tiefflug mit einem Höllenlärm gefühlt ein paar Meter über unser Hausdach.Ich habe nicht nur den Kriegsdienst verweigert (es hieß immer Kriegsdienst und nicht Wehrdienst), war bei der Deutschen Friedensgesellschaft aktiv und habe einige Kriegsdienstverweigerer als Beistand in Verhandlungen begleitet.Das ist lange her und der Wind hat sich gedreht. Leider in die falsche Richtung. Ich habe mich dabei ertappt, dass ich meinem Enkel Noah, 22 Jahre alt, nicht widersprochen habe, als er den Gedanken geäußert hat, eventuell zum Bund zu gehen, dort den Führerschein und eine Ausbildung zu machen. Und ich frage mich, was passiert ist. Beziehungsweise in welche Situation uns Putin mit seinem Säbelrasseln gebracht hat. Habe ich auch die Begrifflichkeit ausgetauscht und Kriegsdienst durch Wehrdienst ersetzt? Ehrenhaft Heimatland und Familie verteidigen?Schon lange gehe ich mit diesen Gedanken schwanger und kämpfe innerlich gegen den Verlust meiner pazifistischen Haltung an. So leicht kriegt ihr mich nicht – genauso wenig wie die Jungs meiner Tochter Sonja. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Donald Trump has spent this year trying to negotiate a deal to end the war in Ukraine. So far, Vladimir Putin doesn't seem interested in the US's proposals. One man who has successfully negotiated with Russia – and with many of America's adversaries – is Roger Carstens, former Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs. From 2020 to 2025 he worked to free dozens of US citizens taken hostage and wrongfully detained around the world, including in Russia. Securing their release often required complex deals that took years to put together. What does it take to successfully negotiate with Putin's Russia?With Asma Khalid in DC, Tristan Redman in London, and the backing of the BBC's international newsroom, The Global Story brings clarity to politics, business and foreign policy in a time of connection and disruption.

Jay is joined by geopolitical analyst and forecaster George Friedman to unpack what President Trump really represents in the long arc of American history. We revisit George's “vanilla president” thesis and why, personality aside, Trump's project to dismantle the post-1945 world order was predictable and perhaps inevitable. We dig into the shift from global policeman back toward U.S. isolationism, the real story behind Venezuela and the U.S. military build-up in the Caribbean, and why a renewed Russia–Cuba pact makes the Florida Straits one of the most important choke points on Earth.

It's 1,162 days until the legally defined end of the 47th presidency, but we have very little faith that will be the case.

More than 500,000 Russians were granted visas to the European Union's Schengen zone in 2024 — nearly half of which allow for multiple entry over many years. The visitor numbers are down by 90 percent compared with pre-pandemic 2019, but half a million people still isn't nothing. And it's about to seem astronomical, following a recent decision by the European Union to introduce a ban on multi-entry visas to the Schengen zone for Russian citizens. Many have welcomed the E.U.'s new policy as long overdue, justifying the restrictions as a commonsense security measure and a morally righteous punishment for the citizens of a state terrorizing the continent and making war in Ukraine. That has not been the response from most Russian activists and journalists, however. For these people, Europe's new multi-entry visa police will shatter the workflows and evacuation plans that had made it possible to continue limited forms of independent reporting and activism inside Russia. To learn more about these repercussions, The Naked Pravda spoke to journalist and activist Elena Kostyuchenko, author of the 2023 book I Love Russia: Reporting From a Lost Country. In a November 10 social media post, Kostyuchenko laid out why her colleagues are “panicking” about the new E.U. visa policy. She joined Meduza's podcast to break it down further.

2025-11-14 | Silicon Wafers 055 | Flamingo Over Novorossiysk: Ukraine's Long-Range Energy War. In the early hours of November 14, Russia's biggest Black Sea oil hub, Novorossiysk, went dark in a way that brings a thrill to pro-Ukraine activists on social media. Giant fireballs, and mobile phone footage of Russian's exclaiming and swearing in the entertaining we have become familiar with. But is the strike of strategic importance, and does it tell us anything about how Ukraine's deep strike capabilities are changing? Drones over the water, fire at the Sheskharis terminal, and something Moscow really hates to see, which is tankers not loading oil.The next night, hundreds of kilometres to the north, explosions roll across the Russian city of Oryol. Local Telegram channels film glowing debris raining into courtyards. And for the first time, Ukraine officially says it's using its new home-grown deep-strike weapon: the Flamingo cruise missile. Tonight, we're going to connect those two things — the burning oil terminal and the cute-sounding missile with a 3,000-kilometre reach — and ask: How is Ukraine's second front of the war unfolding — not the territorial war, but the one against Russian energy, logistics, and the regime's balance sheet?----------SOURCES: Kyiv Post – “Novorossiysk Oil Shipments Suspended After Ukraine Drone Strike Sets Key Terminal Ablaze” (Nov. 14, 2025)Kyiv Post – “Explosions Rock Russia's Oryol – Ukraine's Use of ‘Flamingo' Long-Range Missiles Confirmed” (Nov. 13, 2025)Kyiv Post – “ANALYSIS: Ukraine's Bombardment of Russia – Not Just Oil Refineries, Warships Any More” by Stefan Korshak (Nov. 5, 2025)The Kyiv Independent – “Ukraine confirms use of Flamingo missiles in strikes on Crimea, Zaporizhzhia, targets inside Russia” (Nov. 13, 2025)Reuters – “Storms, drone attacks and record oil exports pile pressure on Russian port of Novorossiisk” (Oct. 15, 2025)Reuters – coverage on Novorossiysk oil export suspension after attack (Nov. 14, 2025) AP News – “Ukraine's long-range strikes cut Russia's oil refining capacity by 20%, Zelenskyy says” (late Oct. 2025)Chatham House – “Ukraine's best defence against Putin's energy war is more attacks on Russia's oil refining sector” (2025)Foundation for Defense of Democracies – “Ukraine conducts strikes on Russian targets using domestically produced missiles and drones” (Nov. 2025)The Guardian – “Ukraine war briefing: Flamingo flies into battle, Zelenskyy defers to commanders over Pokrovsk” (Nov. 14, 2025) ----------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 events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

In this crossover episode with The Time of Monsters--a podcast of The Nation Magazine--Jeet Heer and Van Jackson discuss the worldmaking of Jeffrey Epstein and the complicity of America's entire ruling class in his crimes, from Larry Summers and Leon Panetta to Trump himself. Thousands of leaked emails reported by DropSite News have revealed something about Jeffrey Epstein that few people realized: He was one of the world's preeminent geopoliticians during the unipolar moment, and that's not a good thing. We now know that Epstein actively promoted the interests of the global far right; worked with Israeli security services to export the tools of oppression to the Global South; helped strengthen Russia's oligarchy and deal intimately with Putin; lobbied to bomb Iran and kill the Iran nuclear deal; secured the US and Russian removal of chemical weapons from Syria FOR Israel; and capitalized on the global instability caused in part by US foreign policy. Epstein's work as a geopolitician reveals a dark side to American hegemony not previously known or seen. It's one giant case study of Naomi Klein's disaster-capitalism thesis. Subscribe to The Time of Monsters Podcast: https://www.thenation.com/content/time-of-monsters/ Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/ Watch Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcast Catch Un-Diplomatic on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/undiplomaticpodcast Disclaimer: The views expressed are those of the individuals and not of any institutions.

Nearly four years after Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrainian officials and analysts look at the prospects for a ceasefire, and at the military, economic and human cost that President Vladimir Putin's campaign has inflicted on the country.  They discuss the Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, intended to demoralise the civilian population, and what European allies should do to bolster its defence efforts, and to rebuild the country if there is a ceasefire.  Host Bronwen Maddox is joined by Andriy Zagorodnyuk, a former Minister of Defence of Ukraine; Daryna Marchak, Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture; Olha Aivazovska, Chair of the Board of the Opora Civic Network; Simon Smith, Chair of Chatham House's Ukraine Forum and Dominic Nicholls, Associate Editor of The Telegraph.  The discussion came as Chatham House hosted a conference - 'War in Ukraine: The battleground for the future of Europe'.  Read our latest: Comment | Ukraine's best defence against Putin's energy war is more attacks on Russia's oil refining sector Comment | As the US eases sanctions on Belarus, is it time for the EU to rethink its approach?

Delhi Blast & Pakistan | Op Sindoor 2 Preparations Begin - After Putin Visit?  | Col Ajay Raina

"Celebrities provide an escape from the mundane. They are photographed so we can worship them—so they are worthy of our worship." -- David LaChapelle "A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed." -- Richard Avedon   In this episode Antonio and Ward take on the world of celebrity portraiture — from the classic work of masters like Irving Penn, Avedon, and Karsh to modern takes by photographers such as Platon and Tyrell Hampton. Their discussion starts with Oscar Isaac's recent GQ shoot and spirals into a larger conversation about what it means to photograph fame: whether we're seeing the real person or a performance crafted for the camera. They weigh how much control the celebrity, the photographer, and the publication each have in shaping these images, and how context — from lighting to location — turns a portrait into a cultural artifact. The two also reflect on why celebrity portraits endure long after the marketing fades, comparing timeless images like Audrey Hepburn's portrait by Irving Penn and Platon's unnerving shot of Vladimir Putin. Along the way, they contrast authenticity and artifice, recalling famous stories behind iconic portraits — from Churchill's scowl to Meryl Streep's unretouched close-up.    Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

Today's Headlines: Congress finally voted to reopen the government and the public got a big (and messy) taste of the Epstein files. It started when House Democrats released three emails from Epstein's estate showing him telling Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011 that Trump “knew about the girls.” Hours later, Oversight Chair James Comer just went full chaos mode and dumped 20,000 emails online. The messages include Epstein calling Trump “borderline insane” and “the worst person he knows,” bragging about knowing Trump's schedule during his presidency, and even offering a European official insight into Trump before the 2018 Putin meeting. Meanwhile, Rep. Adelita Grijalva was finally sworn in after being blocked for seven weeks—literally so she couldn't sign the petition forcing a vote to release the Epstein files. Now that she's in, the vote's happening next week. Trump reportedly begged Lauren Boebert to pull her name from the petition, which, shocker, didn't go over well. Even if the House votes yes, the whole thing could still die in the Senate or under Trump's veto. Also yesterday, a judge ordered ICE to release over 300 immigrants who were illegally detained in Illinois, and the White House said October's inflation and jobs reports will never be released—apparently because the government shutdown broke the data pipeline.

Prof. John Mearsheimer : Putin's Calculus: Why Russia Might Welcome a Long WarSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On February 27, 2022, three days after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Olaf Scholz, who was then the Chancellor of Germany, gave a speech to an emergency session of the German parliament at which he described the attack as a Zeitenwende – an historic turning point. This watershed moment, he declared, meant “that the world afterwards will no longer be the same as the world before. The issue at the heart of this [change] is whether power is allowed to prevail over the law: whether we permit Putin to turn back the clock to the nineteenth century and the age of great powers, or whether we have it in us to keep warmongers like Putin in check. That requires strength of our own.” He announced a major restructuring of the country's cautious defense policy, including billions for modernization of the military and a promise that defense spending would exceed 2 percent of Germany's GDP, a level of spending that Scholz's party (the Social Democrats) traditionally had opposed. Three years later, Germany has a new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, who leads the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). He succeeded in amending Germany's constitution to lift the so-called “debt brake,” which means that the country will spend significantly more on defense as well as hundreds of billions on related infrastructure over the next ten years. But will it be enough to allow Germany to deter Russian aggression against Europe — particularly if the United States under Trump withdraws from its post-1945 role as the guarantor of European security? Can Germany develop a defense industry that can deliver under wartime conditions? Can Germany take on the leadership role in Europe that it long has been reluctant to assume — and will other countries accept Germany in this role?Jan Techau is a director with the Eurasia Group's Europe team, covering Germany and European security. He is also a senior fellow with the Transatlantic Defense and Security Program at the Center for European Policy Analysis. From 2020 to 2023, he served in the German government as head of speechwriting for three ministers in the German Ministry of Defense. In this podcast interview, he discusses the European reaction to Trump's reelection, the likelihood of Germany's being able to make the physical and psychological adjustments it would need in order to become the principal provider of conventional deterrence in Europe, the rise of anti-Americanism in Germany on both the left and right, and whether Europeans are capable of keeping peace on the continent without the help of the Americans. He also explains his 2016 diagnosis of what he called “sophisticated state failure,” which long before the Abundance movement was dreamed of predicted that highly developed countries would find it increasingly difficult to get anything done, and that this paralysis would provide an opening for populist uprisings all over the world. “The only lasting way out of sophisticated state failure,” he concluded, “is for responsible politicians to worry less about getting re-elected and start risking their political careers for things that need to be done.”

We've done shows before on how contemporary America resembles late-stage Soviet society. But none quite as intriguing as with the Russian-born, US-based journalist Mikhail Zygar. In The Dark Side of the Earth, his new history of the Soviet Union's demise, Zygar underlines the moral exhaustion of its citizens. People no longer believed in anything, he reports on the collapse of this vast Euro-Asian empire. And that's the analogy Zygar makes with contemporary America which, he suggests, is equally exhausted. From the Soviet Union to the United States, a descent into a morally bankrupt nihilism defines the end of empire. Zygar even identifies the idealistic Obama with Gorbachev and the pugnacious Trump with Yeltsin, implying that a self-styled Putin-like “savior” lurks in the dark shadow of the American future. 1. Putin's Russia is worse than the Soviet Union The Soviet Union had dozens of political prisoners in the 1970s; Putin's Russia has thousands. Putin threatens the West with nuclear weapons far more aggressively than Soviet leaders ever did. What we thought was a victory over totalitarianism proved short-lived—Putin has built something more oppressive than what collapsed.2. The 1991 coup failed because of one woman History turns on ordinary people, not just great men. Emma Yazov, wife of the Soviet Defense Minister, spent three days crying in her husband's office, demanding he withdraw tanks from Moscow and resign from the junta. On the third day, he did. Her belief in democracy defeated the KGB and the Soviet military.3. Soviet citizens stopped believing after 1968 The Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia killed whatever faith remained in communism. Afterward, Soviet people became perhaps the most cynical on earth, practicing “internal immigration”—pretending to participate in official life while living secret, clandestine private lives. When no one believes in an empire's ideology, collapse becomes inevitable.4. Solzhenitsyn's ideas shaped both Putin and the American New Right The author of The Gulag Archipelago evolved from Soviet dissident to fierce critic of liberal democracy. He wanted to preserve the Soviet empire by replacing communist ideology with Orthodox Christianity—precisely what Putin is attempting now. His attacks on Western liberalism's “weakness” and “woke culture” have found new audiences among American conservatives.5. Dick Cheney's approach to Soviet collapse enabled Putin George H.W. Bush and James Baker believed preserving a democratic Soviet Union would create a reliable partner. Dick Cheney disagreed, preferring “15 little dictatorships instead of one mighty Soviet Union.” Cheney's view prevailed. Without a Marshall Plan for post-Soviet states, Russian nationalism flourished, and Putin portrayed the collapse as Western conspiracy—the foundation of his power today.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: A rare look inside the paranoid world of Vladimir Putin. Investigators have uncovered that the Russian president operates from three nearly identical offices—built to conceal his true whereabouts, even from his own government. Twin bombings in India and Pakistan have both sides trading blame, threatening to reignite one of the world's most dangerous rivalries. Plus—a quiet diplomatic rift between Washington and London. The U.K. has suspended parts of its intelligence-sharing with the U.S. over concerns about America's recent boat strikes in the Caribbean.

In his new book, “Autocrats vs Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder,” McFaul lays out the internal threats facing American democracy, and argues that we may have misjudged the external threats as well – overestimating China's strength while underestimating Russia's.

The goal of political art is to ask uncomfortable questions. The price was prison.Vitaly Shevchenko speaks to Maria Alyokhina, founding member of the Russian punk activist group Pussy Riot, about the power and the price of protest.Pussy Riot came to the world's attention with its Punk Prayer, an angry anti-Putin anthem performed in a Moscow church. Maria Alyokhina spent two years incarcerated in a penal colony as a result. It was worth it, she says, to show the world what life under President Putin was like. She was freed under an amnesty ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, but her ongoing activism saw her living under surveillance and then house arrest, eventually fleeing Russia in a dramatic escape. Today, she continues to challenge Putin's regime from outside her home country. Thank you to the Ukrainecast team for its help in making this programme.

Michael speaks with Nico Lange, a senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis and the Munich Security Conference, about the grinding war in Ukraine and the outlook for Europe. Nico details how Russia's summer offensive failed to deliver results for the Kremlin and argues that Western support for Ukraine must move beyond "survival mode." He outlines the strategic necessity of deep strikes on Russian oil refineries and infrastructure to limit Putin's ability to wage war. Nico also discusses the success of U.S. pressure in increasing European support and explains why more pressure on Putin is urgently needed to find the war's off-ramp.

The United States is racing toward nuclear annihilation while its empire crumbles from within. In this explosive interview, independent journalist Rachel Blevins exposes how Washington's imperial ambitions have backfired catastrophically: as the New START treaty expires in 2026, Trump threatens to resume nuclear testing while Russia deploys unstoppable weapons like the Oreshnik and Burevestnik.Meanwhile, Zelensky begs for Tomahawk missiles that could trigger World War III, and in a shocking betrayal of reality, former Al-Qaeda leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, once with a $10 million bounty on his head, is now Syria's US-backed president, playing basketball with the very commanders who hunted him.From rare earth mineral dominance to the Nord Stream bombing cover-up, Blevins reveals how US aggression has forged an unbreakable Russia-China-Iran alliance, accelerating the collapse of American unipolar power while ordinary Americans pay the price at grocery stores and gas pumps.Donate to Support Independent Journalism: https://www.MintPressNews.com/donationsMintPress News YouTube: https://youtube.com/MintPressNewsFollow Rachel Blevins: https://twitter.com/RachelBlevinsFollow Mnar Adley: https://twitter.com/MnarMuhSupport the showMintPress News is a fiercely independent.
