Stambule prasideda tiesioginis Ukrainos ir Rusijos atstovų susitikimas. Jis vyks be Rusijos ir Jungtinių Valstijų prezidentų.Estijai nepavyko sulaikyti tanklaivio, kuris, kaip manoma, priklauso rusų šešėliniam laivynui. Rusišką naftą gabenantis laivas nepakluso įsakymams ir išplaukė iš Estijos ekonominės zonos. Vakar Estijos oro erdvę buvo pažeidęs ir Rusijos naikintuvas. Jis kelias minutes buvo įskridęs į Estijos oro erdvę. Dėl to iškviestas Rusijos patikėtinis, kuriam įteikta nota dėl incidento. Pasak premjero Gintauto Palucko, tokie incidentai rodo, kad eskalacijos tikimybė Baltijos jūroje didėja.LRT tyrimų skyriaus informacija rodo, kad sparčiai augantį darbuotojų iš trečiųjų šalių skaičių lėmė prieš trejus metus priimtus įstatymo pataisos, supaprastinusios darbuotojų įvežimą.

GSB turns 100: RUSI experts look back on key security shifts and explore what's next for the UK in a rapidly changing global landscape. In this special 100th episode of Global Security Briefing, host Neil Melvin is joined by the RUSI International Security team to reflect on how global security has evolved since the podcast's launch in 2021. Recorded live in London, the episode examines a world marked by rising state-based wars, increasing military tensions, and the fragmentation of the post–World War II international order. From the Russia–Ukraine war and instability in the Middle East to the growing rivalry between the US and China in the Indo-Pacific, the panel explores the key trends driving today's global insecurity. The discussion also considers the rise of influential regional powers and the UK's search for a post-Brexit role on the world stage. The team also offers insights on the security challenges of the next five years. Can the UK and its allies adapt to an increasingly contested and divided global landscape?

Adwokat Mikołaj Rusiński analizuje pod kątem prawnym sprawę zakupu mieszkania przez Karola Nawrockiego. Wskazuje m.in na konsekwencje rozbieżności między zapisami aktu notarialnego a stanem faktycznym.

Uspešen poslovnež in ekscentrični tehnološki izumitelj srednjih let Karsh Relikh po smrti svoje lepe žene Becce, ki je umrla zaradi raka, česar Karsh ne more preboleti, razvije revolucionarno tehnologijo. Mrtvaški prt, nekakšen 3D digitalni skener, svojcem omogoča spremljanje razgradnje človeškega telesa po pokopu. Za ta posebna pokopališča se začne zanimati več mest in investitorjev po svetu, vendar pa neko noč neznanci oskrunijo več grobov, tudi tistega, v katerem je pokopana Becca. Karsh se odloči priti zadevi do dna, a na tej poti vedno bolj drsi v vrtinec preganjavice. 81-letni David Cronenberg pravi, da je celovečerec Mrtvaški prt, premierno predstavljen lani v Cannesu, njegov najbolj oseben in intimen doslej. V filmu je, kot v večini njegovih del, nekaj hipnotičnega, gleda se ga s cmokom v grlu in nejevero, kot mešanico morbidnosti in romantike. Kot futuristično reinterpretacijo Edgarja Allana Poeja ali Frankensteina Mary Shelley, ki bi ga brali od konca proti začetku. Mrtvaški prt je Cronenbergova meditacija o smrti in telesnosti, o bližini in obsedenosti, o voajerizmu in mislih, ki jih običajno odrivamo stran. Za Cronenberga je bila umetnost vedno tudi poligon za preizkušanje meja – tudi meja biologije, družbe in vsega, čemur pravimo »človeško«. Film se skuša odzivati na naš čas s svojo digitalno paranojo, mrežnimi povezavami, v katere bi lahko bila združena ta pokopališča, mednarodnim vohunjenjem, Rusi in Kitajci, biomedicinsko manipulacijo in globalnim nadzorom. Mimogrede, večina vrhunske tehnologije, ki jo uporabljamo v vsakdanjem življenju, je bila razvita v vojaške namene, vključno s svetovnim spletom. Vse to brbota nekje v ozadju Karsheve zasebne zgodbe. Ja, Mrtvaškemu prtu lahko očitamo, da je ob vsej svoji drznosti tudi nekakšen Cronenbergov »the best of«. Zdi se, da je iz vsakega svojega dela pobral po nekaj idej. Res veliko je dialogov in ne najboljše igre; kljub temu, da v osrednjih vlogah nastopajo Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger in Guy Pearce, so vsi malce leseni, karikirani. Rigor mortis kot koncept? Če smo že omenili Poeja, mi pride ob tem pristopu na misel še B-filmski kralj Roger Corman ... Kakorkoli, celovečercev, ki bi idejno dražili gledalce, je danes bolj malo; Mrtvaški prt je tako antipod oskarjevske slavljenke Anore. Gre tudi za metafilm o sobivanju živih in mrtvih ter sobivanju notranjega in zunanjega sveta, kar je ena od rdečih niti Cronenbergovega opusa. Ta razume film tudi kot stroj za oživljanje duhov, in dejansko je v Mrtvaškem prtu nekaj elegičnega. Zdi se, kot da bi zadnji kader leta med oblake naznanil tudi avtorjevo dokončno slovo od filmskega ustvarjanja. Recenzijo je pripravil Gorazd Trušnovec, bere Igor Velše.

Prvým hosťom v novej relácii Za hranicou bol analytik a zakladateľ spoločnosti GeopoLytics Jozef Hrabina. Témou bola najmä Ukrajina. V dnešnej epizóde sa dozvieš, aké sú vzťahy Ruska a Číny, a že vôbec nie sú také priateľské, ako si na Západe myslíme. Hovorili sme aj o stave na ukrajinsko-ruskom fronte, kde to vyzerá, že Rusom došla para a Ukrajinci nechcú útočiť. S hosťom sme prebrali aj kondíciu ruskej ekonomiky a ako vyzerá biela, šedá a čierna oblasť v súvislosti s ruskými financiami.

We dive deep into the recently revealed American and Chinese 6th generation fighter jets - how will they change warfare and who's ahead in this race for air dominance, and whether Europe and Russia could catch up. And how other technologies like collaborative combat aircraft - basically swarms of drones flying together with planes piloted by humans - are going to change what air combat has looked like for decades.

Bolj ko postajajo mednarodni odnosi negotovi in napeti, bolj so pomembne na videz obrobne podrobnosti, ki lahko odločijo, v katero smer se bodo odvila pogajanjaVsaj del zahodnega sveta je bil po koncu hladne vojne in padcu socializma prepričan, da je nastopil konec zgodovine, zahodni politični in ekonomski ustroj pa bo slej ko prej prevladal povsod po svetu. V tem kontekstu je verjetno jasno, da to ni bil ravno čas, ki bi Zahod silil v premislek marsikdaj arogantnega obnašanja do drugih sil in spregledovanja njihovih pogledov ter miselnega in kulturnega sveta, iz katerega izhajajo in ki v veliki meri določa njihove odločitve. Danes pa je že jasno, da je Zahod le eden od centrov geopolitične moči in da bodo pogovori s predstavniki kultur, ki so lahko zelo drugačne od zahodne, ključni ne le za dobre gospodarske odnose, ampak tudi za razreševanje političnih in celo vojaških konfliktov. Čeprav je bilo poznavanje drugega od nekdaj pomemben del stikov med ljudmi iz različnih okolij, smo se torej znašli v multipolarnem svetu, v katerem bodo gospodarstveniki, diplomati in politiki prisiljeni še precej bolje spoznati kulture svojih sogovornikov, kakršni so denimo Rusija, Kitajska, Indija in Brazilija, v kontekstu vedno manj samoumevnih zavezništev znotraj samega Zahoda pa seveda nikakor ni nepomembna tudi pozornost na naše notranje medsebojne razlike, ki včasih nikakor niso tako majhne. Korak v tej meri predstavlja tudi delo Medkulturna pogajanja: izzivi, dileme in rešitve, ki je nedavno izšlo pri založbi Fakultete za družbene vede. Kako pravzaprav pristopiti k medkulturnim pogajanjem ter kako na različnih koncih sveta razmišljajo o sklepanju dogovorov, pa tudi o odnosih in svetu nasploh, sta predstavila zaslužni profesor, strokovnjak za mednarodne ekonomske odnose dr. Marjan Svetličič ter dr. Boštjan Udovič s katedre za mednarodne odnose na Fakulteti za družbene vede Univerze v Ljubljani. Pogovor je bil prvotno predvajan v oddaji Glasovi svetov na programu Ars. foto: Pogovori kitajske in ameriške delegacije na vrhu G20 v Buenos Airesu leta 2018, Wikipedija, javna last

Edition No135 | 28-04-2025 - After transitioning to become his excellency, Ukraine's ambassador to the UK, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi kept a relatively low profile. Now he's attending more civic events that have connections to the Ukrainian community, and has given keynote addresses at several significant events, including Chatham House and Rusi. His vision of the future of war is emerging, as well as some criticism of Western military preparations to counter Russia, that is couched in low-key, highly diplomatic language, but is devastating in substance. Valerii Zaluzhnyi opened a recent address at the Ukrainian School of Management, a new space for leadership and critical thinking, with this emotive sentence: “Three years ago, we faced a stark choice: to fight or to vanish. And we made our decision - we chose to fight. Not only did we manage to stop and push back the most powerful enemy in the world, but we also redefined the very nature of modern warfare. As a result, Ukraine has become home to one of the most advanced and adaptive armed forces of our time.” ----------LINKS:https://www.pravda.com.ua/columns/2025/04/25/7509135/https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2025/04/how-drones-data-and-ai-transformed-our-militaryand-why-us-must-follow-suit/404444/ ----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

Hneď po veľkonočných sviatkoch zabil ruský dron deväť ľudí, ktorí išli do práce. Pár dní dozadu ruské rakety zabili v Meste Sumy cez 30 civilistov, vrátane detí, a predtým balistickými raketami Rusi zaútočili na sídlisko v meste Krivyj Rih a zavraždili 9 detí hrajúcich sa na detskom ihrisku a ďalšiu desiatku ľudí, ktorý tam s deťmi boli. Desiatky ďalších ľudí sú po týchto útokoch v nemocniciach.Kde teda sú tie Americko-Ruské mierové plány, kde je tá Ruska snaha o mier? A kde je Donald Trump, ktorý sa chvastal, že vojnu ukončí za 24 hodín a teraz striedavo predkladá rôzne mierové plány, alebo hrozí, že vojnu na Ukrajine nechá tak a jeho vyslanec preberá ruskú propagandu? Je ešte šanca na mier a ako má konať Európa? A čo Slovensko, ktoré pre postoje Roberta Fica ani nesedí za spoločným stolom o budúcej bezpečnosti v Európe a náš minister obrany hovorí, že sa ani netreba brániť a že ten Rus raz aj tak odíde? Európske štáty hovoria o vyslaní svojich vojakov na udržiavanie mieru po prímerí, ale je prímerie vôbec možné?Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s veľvyslankyňou Európskej únie na Ukrajine Katarínou Mathernovou a bývalým ministrom obrany expertom na bezpečnostnú politiku Globsecu Martinom Sklenárom.

Peace keeping missions (whether peace enforcement, peace building, peace making, or conflict prevention) are very different to the formatted hierarchy and organisation of set-piece, large-scale military missions which Western allies have been accustomed to over the past decade. Even the experiences of ISAF or Iraq are outliers rather than a standardised format replicable across peace keeping tasks. This is also evident in the C2 of these missions: often more complex, ambiguous, woolly, and confusing than most military officers will be accustomed to. And that's without bringing in a strategic HQ structure that has fewer staff and less experience than Western counterparts. Ewan Lawson, associate fellow at RUSI, talks through what characterises PK missions: his one-word answer? Fragmentation.

Rusi pokračujú vo vraždení na Ukrajine. Naposledy ich raketa zabila na detskom ihrisku deväť detí a ich rodičov.

Má o tom vôbec Putin záujem ale chce ďalej vraždiť? A čo na to Slovensko, ako modernizujeme armádu a prečo Andrej Danko tlačí na výmenu náčelníka generálneho štábu, generála Daniela Zmeka?

Take a look at Conducttr's services and its crisis exercise software at: https://www.conducttr.comThis is a conversation with Edward Arnold, a Research Fellow at RUSI and one of the clearest voices on European defense today. For decades, Europe's security has relied on the assumption that the United States would always be there to lead, to help, and to fight if needed. But that assumption is quickly eroding and regardless of who sits in the White House, it's becoming clear that Europe will have to rely more on itself.In this conversation, I wanted to explore what that actually means in practice. I asked Ed three big questions: First, what's broken in Europe's current defense architecture that prevents it from standing on its own? Second, what would a credible, self-reliant European defense actually look like? And third, what kinds of reforms and political will would be needed to get there and whether we are on the right path.

Aliancia pôjde do koalície s tým, kto splní viac jej požiadaviek, hovorí nový predseda strany Lázsló Gubík. Zatiaľ nemá slovenské štátne občianstvo, lebo po zákaze dvojitého občianstva požiadal o to maďarské a následne kandidoval v eurovoľbách za Fidesz. Teraz o občianstvo opäť požiadal, lebo bez neho nemôže kandidovať na Slovensku. Pri otázke, kde býva, najprv tvrdil, že v Komárne, aby potom priznal, že v skutočnosti býva v Komárome za maďarskou hranicou. Nechce budovať slovenský Fidesz, ale spájať Maďarov. Prezident Peter Pellegrini však podľa neho maďarskej menšine zatiaľ nesplnil, čo im sľúbil výmenou za podporu vo voľbách.V podcaste s Lázslóom Gubíkom sa dozviete:– od 1. minúty – čo hovorí na zatváranie hraníc s Maďarskom v rámci opatrení proti slintačke;– po 2:00 – či je za likvidáciu chovov alebo stojí na strane protestujúcich poľnohospodárov z juhu Slovenska;– po 4:00 – či by si rozumel viac s koalíciou alebo opozíciou;– po 5:00 – či je mu bližší Robert Fico alebo Michal Šimečka;– od 8:00 – s ktorými opozičnými politikmi sa pozná;– po 11:00 – ako Peter Pellegrini zatiaľ nedodržal sľuby dané Maďarom výmenou za podporu vo voľbách;– od 13:00 – prečo nemá slovenské štátne občianstvo;– po 14:00 – prečo kandidoval za Fidesz;– od 15:00 – či žije na Slovensku alebo v Maďarsku;– po 17:00 – že strana Maďarská Aliancia je partnerom maďarskej vlády, nie strany Fidesz;– od 19:00 – že nechce budovať slovenský Fidesz, a spolupracoval by aj s inou maďarskou vládou;– po 25:00 – prečo by liberálnejší slovenskí Maďari nemali voliť radšej Ódora alebo Hamrana;– od 28:00 – že je žiakom Miklósa Duraya a ako sa stavia k autonómii;– po 31:00 – čo hovorí o Trianone;– od 33:45 – čo myslel tým, že sa jeho predchodca Forró dostane na Ukrajinu bez pasu;– po 35:00 – odkiaľ by sa mali Rusi vrátiť a čo si myslí o Ukrajine;– od 36:00 – čo pre neho znamená pomenovanie Felvidék, keď organizoval majstrovstvá Felvidéku vo futbale;– po 39:00 – čo hovorí na šál Viktora Orbána s veľkým Uhorskom;– po 41:00 – či by mal Orbán myslieť na Maďarov za hranicami.

Prezident Peter Pellegrini však podľa neho maďarskej menšine zatiaľ nesplnil, čo im sľúbil výmenou za podporu vo voľbách.V podcaste s Lázslóom Gubíkom sa dozviete:– od 1. minúty – čo hovorí na zatváranie hraníc s Maďarskom v rámci opatrení proti slintačke;– po 2:00 – či je za likvidáciu chovov alebo stojí na strane protestujúcich poľnohospodárov z juhu Slovenska;– po 4:00 – či by si rozumel viac s koalíciou alebo opozíciou;– po 5:00 – či je mu bližší Robert Fico alebo Michal Šimečka;– od 8:00 – s ktorými opozičnými politikmi sa pozná;– po 11:00 – ako Peter Pellegrini zatiaľ nedodržal sľuby dané Maďarom výmenou za podporu vo voľbách;– od 13:00 – prečo nemá slovenské štátne občianstvo;– po 14:00 – prečo kandidoval za Fidesz;– od 15:00 – či žije na Slovensku alebo v Maďarsku;– po 17:00 – že strana Maďarská Aliancia je partnerom maďarskej vlády, nie strany Fidesz;– od 19:00 – že nechce budovať slovenský Fidesz, a spolupracoval by aj s inou maďarskou vládou;– po 25:00 – prečo by liberálnejší slovenskí Maďari nemali voliť radšej Ódora alebo Hamrana;– od 28:00 – že je žiakom Miklósa Duraya a ako sa stavia k autonómii;– po 31:00 – čo hovorí o Trianone;– od 33:45 – čo myslel tým, že sa jeho predchodca Forró dostane na Ukrajinu bez pasu;– po 35:00 – odkiaľ by sa mali Rusi vrátiť a čo si myslí o Ukrajine;– od 36:00 – čo pre neho znamená pomenovanie Felvidék, keď organizoval majstrovstvá Felvidéku vo futbale;– po 39:00 – čo hovorí na šál Viktora Orbána s veľkým Uhorskom;– po 41:00 – či by mal Orbán myslieť na Maďarov za hranicami.

As China increases its ‘grey zone' pressure, can Taiwan defend its sovereignty without sparking open conflict? In this episode of Global Security Briefing, host Neil Melvin speaks with Dr. Philip Shetler-Jones, RUSI Senior Research Fellow for Indo-Pacific Security, Sze-Fung Lee an independent researcher specialising in Chinese hybrid warfare, and Dr. Jyun-yi Lee, Associate Research Fellow at Taiwan's Institute for National Defense and Security Research to examine how Taiwan is confronting the growing coercive pressure from China, a pressure which falls just below the threshold of war. Drawing on a new RUSI report, they explore what grey zone tactics are, how Taiwan is responding, and what lessons can be shared between Europe and the Indo-Pacific. With rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait, this episode asks: Can grey zone threats be deterred – and how close are we to open conflict? This episode is brought to you as part of our Indo-Pacific Security Programme, under which our research on the grey zone and lawfare receives sponsorship from the Taipei Relations Office in London.

Divendres al vespre al museu Cau Ferrat es presentarà el primer volum d'una col·lecció que promet ser extensa, perquè Santiago Rusiñol va publicar prop de 1000 articles a l'Esquella de la Torratxa, un dels grans referents de la premsa satírica de finals del segle XIX i fins ben entrat el segle XX. Juan Carlos Rodriguez i Andreu Bosch han estat els encarregats de compilar tots els articles de Rusiñol, on hi deixa bona part de les seves conviccions sobre el context social i històric que li ha tocat viure, a més de les pròpiament artístiques. Amb Andreu Bosch n'hem parlat. L'entrada El Rusiñol més irònic i crític als escrits de ‘L’esquella de la Torratxa’. Es presenta el primer volum dels seus articles aquest divendres ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

After more than 3 years of war in Ukraine, the Russian military is not a spent force: indeed, the combination of more flying hours for more aircrew, 3 years of combat experience in CAS, AI, CAP, Strike and ISR missions, a war economy supporting new airframes and weapons, and low pilot attrition rates has made the Russian Air Force capable of what it was supposed to do in 2022 – and then some. It now has the ability to outmatch European NATO states in capability, experience and fighting power for the next decade. Professor Justin Bronk, Senior Research Fellow for Air Power at RUSI in London, explains why a wholesale shift to drones isn't going to be the ubiquitous answer that the speeches from military and political leaders make out. As the IAMD system in NATO states matures (albeit at differing speeds), the Russian system is also a major factor in air power planning for the future. The impact on how NATO wants to fight, and how it will have to fight, is stark. And it's not going to be good enough to continue copying the US model: for the USAF and USN, the Pacific is requiring a drive towards a different force design, way of operating, C2, and basing options from those that would work for NATO in Europe. Context matters.

On 3 June 2024, Synnovis, a provider of pathology services to the NHS in London, detected the first stages of a ransomware attack. The ransomware quickly spread through Synnovis' networks, encrypting systems and stealing sensitive data. Not for the first time, a ransomware attack had become a matter of life and death.       The attack, which was later claimed by Qilin, a Russian-speaking cybercriminal gang, was a stark example of how cybercrime has become a national security threat. Attacks against hospitals, schools and businesses of all shapes and sizes have normalised what should be intolerable: cybercriminals, in many cases harboured by hostile states, regularly disrupting and extorting victims, causing misery in the process and creating disorder for the UK economy and society.    To help us understand this challenge, and as part of our ongoing series of episodes featuring top experts from the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), Arthur was joined by Jamie MacColl, a Research Fellow in Cyber and Tech at RUSI. Jamie's research focuses on the national security implications of cybercrime, including the relationships between hostile states and cybercriminals. He has given evidence on ransomware on more than one occasion to the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy and also represents RUSI at the Counter Ransomware Initiative, a multilateral grouping of more than 80 countries committed to combating ransomware. Prior to working at RUSI, Jamie worked as a cyber threat intelligence analyst in the private sector. When not working on cybercrime, he is the guitarist in the British band Bombay Bicycle Club.      They discuss the current state of ransomware, its scale and impact, the role played by rogue states such as Russia and North Korea, and the reasons for the lack of coordinated international  progress in combating the issue.   Finally, as Jamie and Arthur order the disorder, Jamie proposes moving our response to ransomware from the current failing law enforcement model, to an intelligence and counter-terrorism led approach.    Producer: George McDonagh   Executive Producer: Neil Fearn     Show Notes Links:    More on the RUSI Disorder partnership - https://www.rusi.org/news-and-comment/rusi-news/rusi-announces-partnership-disorder-podcast     Become RUSI members for more of their brilliant content:  https://my.rusi.org/membership.html     Follow Arthur's pod Behind The Lines: https://open.spotify.com/show/4bpdB1iEN3irFueS5CMuq5     High-level summaries on ransomware as a national security threat: https://www.economist.com/international/2023/12/31/how-ransomware-could-cripple-countries-not-just-companies     Read RUSI piece The Rise of Ransomware as a National Security Threat:  https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/organised-cybercrime-rise-ransomware-national-security-threat     Read RUSI piece Beyond the Bottom Line: The Societal Impact of Ransomware: https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/beyond-bottom-line-societal-impact-ransomware      Read about the links between cybercrime and state threats:  https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-research-reports/issue-brief/untangling-the-russian-web/     Read RUSI article Ransomware: A Life and Death Form of Cybercrime https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/ransomware-life-and-death-form-cybercrime       Read about the impact of ransomware on the UK: https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/occasional-papers/ransomware-victim-insights-harms-individuals-organisations-and-society     Read Ransomware: A Life and Death Form of Cybercrime from RUSI: https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/ransomware-life-and-death-form-cybercrime   Learn more about your ad choices.

Audiokniha Zelenskyj ponúka intímny portrét prezidenta, ktorý sa z herca a komika zmenil na symbol odolnosti. Jej autor, Simon Shuster, korešpondent časopisu Time zaznamenáva život Volodymyra Zelenského od čias, keď vystupoval v zábavných programoch, až po blatisté zákopy vojny s Ruskom. Shuster strávil s ukrajinským prezidentom štyri roky, absolvoval rozsiahle spoločné cesty na front a desiatky rozhovorov s jeho manželkou, priateľmi aj nepriateľmi, poradcami, ministrami a vojenskými veliteľmi. Autor zároveň priblížil, ako sa Zelenskému podarilo spojiť rôznych demokratických lídrov v boji za spoločnú vec. Audiokniha je detailným opisom Zelenského dní, života v jadrovom bunkri v prvých týždňoch invázie a okolností úteku jeho manželky s deťmi do bezpečia. Neskôr, keď Rusi ustúpili z Kyjeva, sledujeme, ako Zelenskyj so svojím tímom z bunkra vychádza a vedie Ukrajinu ku kľúčovým víťazstvám. Výsledkom je strhujúci podrobný obraz invázie a vojny, tak, ako ju zažil ruský cieľ číslo jeden a hrdina, ktorý o tento titul ani nestál. Shuster však nevytvára iba glorifikujúcu podobu prezidenta. V audioknihe jasne pomenúva Zelenského omyly a zlyhania, ako napríklad ochotu umlčať politický nesúhlas jeho odporcov a mnohé iné. Audiokniha Zelenskyj tak predostiera komplexný portrét muža snažiaceho sa prelomiť historické jarmo ruského útlaku, ktorý sa začal dávno pred jeho narodením a rovnako príbeh človeka, ktorého odvaha a odhodlanie vojde do dejín. "Shuster vytvára intímny záznam o ruskej invázii, ktorý živo zachytáva Zelenského transformáciu z čistokrvného komika na vojnového hrdinu v hlavnej úlohe." – New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice Selection Audiokniha: Zelenskyj Autor: Simon Shuster Interpret: Daniel Ratimorský Dĺžka: 16:41 h Vydavateľstvo: Publixing a N Press Audiokniha Zelenskyj na webe Publixing (MP3 na stiahnutie) Audiokniha Zelenskyj na webe Audiolibrix (MP3 na stiahnutie)

British Army officer Major Jon Armstrong discusses how resistance networks are formed and utilised, particularly in the current Russo-Ukraine war. From the makeshift resistance efforts seen in Ukraine to Sweden's carefully structured Total Defence approach, resistance networks can play a crucial role in a country's defence strategy. Armstrong talks about the different elements of resistance activities, focusing on Ukraine, and examines their successes and limitations. He addresses the challenges in controlling these networks, along with the potential post-conflict difficulties of reintegration; warning of the risk of civil strife if such groups are sidelined. As nations plan for future conflicts, Armstrong argues that they must not only build resistance networks, but also integrate them within the broader operational strategy. Jon Armstrong is a British Army officer with over 20 years of experience. His research interests include land operations and irregular warfare. He holds a BA in War Studies and an MA in Military and Security Studies from King's College London.

Hoci Trump s Putinom dohodli obmedzené prímerie, Rusko na Ukrajine ďalej strieľa. Poradca prezidenta Pellegriniho v zahraničnej politike, bývalý diplomat OSN a exminister zahraničných vecí Ján Kubiš tvrdí, že niektoré kroky našej vlády, vrátane výrokov Roberta Fica či Erika Kaliňáka, škodia vzťahom Slovenska so spojencami.V podcaste s Jánom Kubišom sa dozviete:– od 1. minúty – že prímerie je len prísľub, a na Ukrajine sa ďalej strieľa;– po 4:00 – že na Ukrajinu zrejme v nejakom bode prídu vojaci niektorých európskych krajín;– od 5:00 – ako sa Európa dostane k rokovaciemu stolu o Ukrajine;– po 6:00 – či sa dá vyhovieť ruskej požiadavke na návrat v čase do roku 1997;– okolo 8:00 – že NATO sa nerozpadá;– po 10:00 – že Európa nemá muníciu a nemala ju ani na zásah voči Kaddáfimu, kde musela žiadať o pomoc USA;– od 13:00 – ako Rusi zjavne nemajú problém s uplatňovaním sily;– po 14:00 – čo znamená formovanie koalície ochotných a či ide o zlom v dejinách;– od 15:00 – do akej miery je problém, že Slovensko pri tejto koalícii nie je;– po 20:00 – že kroky vlády neprospievajú vzťahom so spojencami;– od 24:00 – že politika na 4 svetové strany je sprofanovaná fráza;– po 30:00 – či nás zachráni paralelná diplomacia opozície, napríklad návštevy PS v Kyjeve a v Poľsku;– od 34:50 – akú zahraničnú politiku robí Peter Pellegrini a čím je iná ako tá vládna;– po 40:00 – ako hodnotí cestu Roberta Fica do Moskvy a výroky Erika Kaliňáka o susedstve s Ruskom;– od 46:00 – že prezident chce zorganizovať okrúhly stôl strán k bezpečnostnej politike;– po 48:00 – ako reaguje na slová Ivana Korčoka, že keď nám USA zavedie clá, mali by sme viac spolupracovať s Čínou.

1. Migaľovci rozbalili svoju hodnotovú politiku 2. Rusi odďaľujú prímerie, Slovensko hrá užitočného idiota 3. Prímeriu nepomáhame a zatiaľ zbrojársky biznis na vojne zarába

Putin s prímerím súhlasí len len naoko. Rusi zneužili plynovod na útok. USA obnovili vojenskú pomoc a zdieľanie spravodajských informácií.

Spojené štáty obnovili vojenskú pomoc pre Ukrajinu a opäť im sprístupnili aj svoje spravodajské informácie. Rusi dostali návrh na 30 dňové prímerie. Také sú výsledky mierových rokovaní USA a Ukrajiny. Mierový návrh víta aj Slovensko, šéf našej diplomacie vyzval Moskvu, aby sa ponukou neodkladne zaoberala.Čo teda dohoda Američanov a Ukrajincov znamená? Ako na ňu reaguje Putin a čo za súhlas s prímerím Rusi žiadajú? Je už šanca v blízkom čase dosiahnuť mier? Kto ho bude garantovať, ak Rusi už množstvo dohôd medzi tým porušili? Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s analytikom Slovenskej spoločnosti pre zahraničnú politiku a profesorom na Prešovskej univerzite Alexandrom DULEBOM.

In this special episode of Disorder, you can hear some of the highlights from our first ever live show event at RUSI. To start things off, Jason Pack was joined on stage by his fellow co-hosts, Alex Hall Hall, Jane Kinninmont and Arthur Snell. The panel discussed how they experience Disorder in their own lives, as well as what they perceive makes this historic period novel.     Then, Jane and Alex departed the stage, while Arthur and Jason were joined by Neil Melvin, RUSI's Director of International Security. The trio investigated if Trump actually has a grand strategy and is deliberately accelerating the long durée US pivot to Asia or if he is merely a strategic-less deliberate Disorderer. Then the trio looked at the role Europe plays in global security, while Neil and Jason had an agreeable -- and not even staged -- disagreement about the ideal position the UK can play in global security  – should the UK continue cozying up to the US? Or seek to counterbalance it by forging new relationships and convening a coalition of orderers?    Lastly, the recording ends with a Lord of the Rings-themed question from a Mega-Ordering audience member.  If you would like to hear the rest of the audience questions and have access to the full recording, please join the pay for substack.    Producer: George McDonagh  Executive Producer: Neil Fearn    Subscribe to our Substack (paid members can listen to the whole unedited event including listener q and a): https://natoandtheged.substack.com/    Show Notes Links:  More on the RUSI Disorder partnership - https://www.rusi.org/news-and-comment/rusi-news/rusi-announces-partnership-disorder-podcast     Become RUSI members for more of their brilliant content:  https://my.rusi.org/membership.html     And From Neil Melvin Read:  Europe's attitude to Trump is dangerously naive.

President Trump might have shocked some European leaders but the writing has been on the wall for decades: European states will have to take responsibility for their own security. Despite Russian aggression in Europe since Georgia (2008), and the promises made by NATO states in Wales 2014, there are only a few NATO states that can provide a degree of credible assurance on national security to their populations as the US withdraws. RUSI's Ed Arnold delves into the implications for national and regional security for individual states and multilateral bodies: from leadership and the consequences for NATO, to EU and EC funding mechanisms. Critically, the timeline for US withdrawal and European rearmament might not align: the resulting window when Russia could unpick the credibility of NATO arrives rapidly.

Trump pozastavil vojenskú pomoc Ukrajine, prerušil aj zdieľanie spravodajských informácií s Ukrajinou. Vyzerá to tak, že momentálne je americký prezident viac v línii s Ruskom, než so Západom či Ukrajinou.V tomto znamení bol aj summit tento týždeň, lídri EÚ sa zhodli na vyhlásení, ktoré sľubuje ďalšiu podporu Ukrajine. Všetci lídri v dohodnutom texte o obrane súhlasili s výrazným zvýšením príspevkov na prezbrojenie Európy, premiér Fico najprv hrozil vetovaním, ale nakoniec vyhlásenie podporil výmenou za to, že v texte sa spomína preprava plynu z Ruska cez Ukrajinu.Jediný, kto text vetoval, bol maďarský premiér Viktor Orbán. A veci sa dejú aj doma, europoslanec Smeru Erik Kaliňák pobúril výrokmi o tom, že Rusi na našich hraniciach, teda na Ukrajine, by znamenali, že Slovensko by malo konečne spoľahlivého suseda, Ľuboš Blaha je opäť na návšteve v Moskve, a vláda má nového ministra - Rudolf Huliak sa stal ministrom športu.

After just eight months in his role, Defence Secretary John Healey is dealing with one of the most challenging in-trays in the cabinet. He is meeting US counterpart Pete Hegseth in Washington on Thursday, as he works to bridge the gap on how to reach a Ukraine peace deal. On today's podcast, Niall Paterson talks to ex-armed forces minister James Heappey who worked with Healey when he was in opposition, and to Malcolm Chalmers who focuses on UK defence and security at the think-tank RUSI about the challenges the defence secretary faces. Producer: Soila Apparicio Assistant producer: Millie Gibson Editor: Wendy Parker    

When it comes to Russia, Trump's America appears on the verge of a major foreign policy U-turn. A couple of weeks ago, Trump called Zelenskyy a dictator and lyingly claimed that Ukraine had started the war. Then there was the February 28 ‘Oval Office Ambush' heard round the world. Don't forget that after years of isolating and sanctioning Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, Team Trump met face to face with the Russian Foreign Minister in Saudi and now appears ready to do direct business with Russia and to be actively seeking to humiliate the Ukrainians.   Despite these worrying moves, at the moment, the U-turn remains hypothetical… all words, not yet binding actions. So… how seriously should we take this perspective shift? Does the ‘Vance/Trump Oval Office Ambush' change everything? And what are the implications for Europe and its allies if America actually switches sides to support Russia long term?   To discuss this perilous moment, we're joined again by Sir Bill Browder, a successful investor, a globally acclaimed author, and a famous philanthropist/humanitarian advocate. Browder's tireless advocacy for holding dictators and their henchman to account is widely known. He was a guest on the Disorder programme in Ep 26, a few days after his friend Alexei Navalny was murdered by Putin. [NB: the interview at the core of this episode was recorded on Feb 26 before the Oval Office Trump/Zelenskyy/Vance meeting.]     Today, Jason and Sir Bill discuss the transactional nature of Trump 2.0 and the seek to work out whether the recently announced Ukraine mineral deal actually amounts to a hill of beans. Browder emphasizes the unpredictability of the situation, the moral implications of Trump's proposed U-turn.   Finally: as they Order the Disorder, Bill and Jason discuss the practicalities of how to turn confiscate currently frozen Russian assets and use them to fund Ukrainian defence.   Producer: George McDonagh Executive Producer: Neil Fearn   Subscribe to our Substack (for free, or get the PAID version to attend our March 11th event at RUSI): https://natoandtheged.substack.com/   Show Notes Links:   Jason's substack on the the Oval Office Trump/Vance ambush of Zelenskyy: https://natoandtheged.substack.com/p/he-may-not-be-a-russian-agent-but   For a podcast produced out of Kyiv and dedicated just to the War in Ukraine: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/history-in-the-making-the-war-in-ukraine/id1752915858   Watch Bloomberg Editor Javier Blas on the fact that Ukraine doesn't have any significant rare earths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=nqJ6Vgetyn8&t=23s&fbclid=IwY2xjawIuZ8ZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHfHqQQ2oA1u0f9dwlY57utRKDAlMk3uustcJ_QaiEBTeO2Duhzu5d1guUA_aem_CogDpEa6G7WcwC-7R5q6DQ   Read the FT explainer of the US-Ukraine Mineral deal: https://www.ft.com/content/1890d104-1395-4393-a71d-d299aed448e6   Listen to our previous episode with Sir Bill Browder: https://pod.link/1706818264/episode/a36160dede2b990a59c34c3c4e8eeece    Read Sir Bill's piece calling for Russian asset seizure: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-14418689/UK-Europe-Russia-frozen-billions-Ukraine-noble-cause.html   And his article co-authored with a leading Ukranian lawyer, Yulia Ziskina calling for seizure of Russia's state assets: https://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2024-11-22/if-trump-cuts-ukraine-aid-the-west-should-seize-russian-assets   Watch United States has ‘abandoned Ukraine' | Bill Browder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImN1fFJKHIc   For more on illicit funds and foreign interference, listen to our recent episode with Peter Geoghegan: https://pod.link/1706818264/episode/a7b4de27e0e05e297d97a505357d7050   Part 1 & 2 with Tom Burgis on the issue of UK's permissiveness over foreign political financing https://pod.link/1706818264/episode/e003625c25e8ce63dda398369bfea54b / https://pod.link/1706818264/episode/2ccf0f088b7679b5b053679466f6a42d Learn more about your ad choices.

Keir Starmer has completed his first visit to the White House – and delivered a letter from King Charles to Donald Trump. So just how special is the special relationship looking this weekend? Defence expert Karin von Hippel, formerly of RUSI, joins the podcast team to look back on a huge week for international relations.   Does the PM's plan to boost defence spending by cutting the international aid budget add up. We'll look at the sums - and weigh up the consequences of this trade-off.   PLUS: The boss of the NHS is on the way out and local government finances are under massive pressure.   Presented by Hannah White.

Today, Jason and Alexandra answer some probing listener questions. They discuss the role of the UK in global politics, and the implications of Brexit. Dissect the challenges of maintaining progressive values amidst backlash, and the potential for Keir Starmer's leadership in navigating the UK's future relationship with the EU. They finish by talking about tax breaks for billionaires, and why following the money is important to understanding the Disorder we are living through.    Producer: George McDonagh  Executive Producer: Neil Fearn    Subscribe to our Substack to get details of our March 11th event at RUSI: https://natoandtheged.substack.com/  Learn more about your ad choices.

Description:  As Trump and his cronies attempt to tear down all the checks and balances which have traditionally governed how the Executive relates to other branches of American governance, especially over the issue of impoundment, will the Courts or Congress genuinely stand up? If they don't, or are unable to, is America facing a genuine constitutional crisis? Or is the issue not so much a constitutional crisis but a coordination one - and because we're in an era of peak disorder – Congress, the Courts, the Dems, popular opposition, protesters, Lincoln Project people, business advocates of non-monopolistic competition – aren't able to coordinate coherently enough to make a difference? Also why are there not massive popular protests across America, or is now not the right time for them?    This week, Jason and Alex unpack these issues and more as they try to navigate listeners through the choppy seas of peak Disorder washing over the world. They reflect on the impact of recent Trump policies to defund USAID and undermine Ukraine, debating whether there's any real coherent end goal to these radical policies beyond strewing Disorder. They also debate whether Trump's America First agenda makes America stronger or weaker. Jason explains the importance of Russell Vought within Trump's team, while arguing that Neo-populism isn't actually about any real solutions or making America Stronger, but is merely about increasing the ‘Disorder and Distraction quotient' to keep the Neo-populists in power.    Meanwhile, Alex and Jason argue that the Democratic Party needs to coalesce around a single ‘leader of the opposition' type-figure to prosecute the case against Trump's actions. They also dive into Lala-land with their alter-egos, Xela Llah Llah and Nosaj Kcap. They finish not by Ordering the Disorder, but by diagnosing exactly why the world is living through peak Disorder.    Producer: George McDonagh  Executive Producer: Neil Fearn    Subscribe to our Substack (for free, or get the PAID version to attend our March 11th event at RUSI): https://natoandtheged.substack.com/    Show Notes Links  To examine the real architect of the Disorder, listen to the Today Explained episode about Russell Vought https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/today-explained/id1346207297?i=1000693687429     To grasp the constitutional implications of what is transpiring, listen to the excellent 538 podcast with Galen Druke interviewing constitutional law professor Peter Shane https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trumps-theory-of-presidential-power/id1077418457?i=1000693800713     Read more from RUSI: by Jack Watling ‘US Clarity Underscores Ukraine's Peril', https://www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/us-clarity-underscores-ukraines-peril    Also by Jack but in the Guardian: ‘As the US walks away, Europe needs to step up for Ukraine.

Mala to byť trojdňová špeciálna operácia.Dnes sú to tri roky od kedy Rusko rozpútalo plnoformátovú a krvavú vojnu na Ukrajine. Desaťtisíce obetí, mŕtvych a zranených a spustošená krajina po raketách, dronoch a všetkých možných druhov rakiet, ktoré na Ukrajinu posielajú Rusi. Vo vojne však zomierali aj tisíce civilistov. Rusi ich podľa OSN zabili viac ako 12-tisíc, vrátane detí. Ďalšie tisíce detí boli unesené do Ruska.Ukrajinci sa za podpory slobodného sveta už tri roky statočne bránia, no aké sú v skutočnosti Ruské ciele? Ako ďaleko je koniec tejto strašnej vojny, ktorá zúri kúsok za našimi hranicami? Čo sa deje teraz na fronte aj v diplomacii? Prečo Donald Trump kladie Ukrajine absurdné požiadavky a Rusku zas ustupuje? A pomôže, že Volodymir Zelenský ponúka v záujme mieru aj svoju rezignáciu? Ako sa to celé skončí a čo hrozí Slovensku, ak naozaj vzniká nový svetový poriadok, o ktorom sa Robert Fico rozprával s Vladimírom Putinom?Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s veľvyslankyňou Európskej únie v Ukrajine Katarínou Mathernovou a generálom vo výslužbe Pavlom Mackom.

European leaders have met in Paris for an emergency summit on the war in Ukraine.Leaving the meeting, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called discussions on sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine "premature" and "inappropriate". Earlier UK PM Keir Starmer said he was ready to send such troops from the UK if and when the war ends.So could we see European boots on the ground in Ukraine? Matthew Savill, from RUSI, is in the studio to discuss whether it's possible, and what this might look like.We also look ahead to the meeting tomorrow between Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Saudi Arabia with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.Today's episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.

In a recent address to NATO in Brussels, U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that the U.S. is no longer "primarily focused on Europe's security." He emphasised that the U.S. would not send troops to Ukraine and would 'no longer tolerate an imbalanced relationship which encourages dependency'. With the American commitment to global peace since 1945 now over, what does this shift mean for European security? Can Europe defend itself without American troops, funding, and intelligence support? Plus: is the Trump administration signalling a move towards a multipolar world, where global power is divided into three distinct spheres of influence?Roland Oliphant is joined by Ed Arnold, Senior Research Fellow for European Security at RUSI, and by Michael Ignatieff, the former leader of the Canadian Liberal Party and leader of the Opposition.Contact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

‘I'd love to hear more about what's actually happening in the war now. Where are the lines stable, where is Russia still advancing, where have the Russians slowed?' That's a message we got from one of our listeners earlier in the week, and we thought we'd answer these questions and more.We get a sense of what's happening along the frontline in Ukraine right now with Matthew Savill, director of military sciences at RUSI, and we hear from a soldier whose day job is to drop bombs on Russians using drones.Today's episode is presented by Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko.
