Podcasts about russia's invasion

This week on the show, as the war in Ukraine marks two years since Russia's invasion, Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski joins Fareed to discuss Donald Trump's comments about letting Russia “do whatever the hell they want” with NATO countries that don't “pay [their] own bills” and what Ukraine's war effort would look like without US support. Then, El Salvador was the most dangerous country in the world, now it's safer than the US. American Quarterly Editor-in-Chief Brian Winter fills Fareed in on the person in charge of that transformation, Nayib Bukele, and how it came at great cost to human rights and rule of law. Next, Dara Horn, author of "People Love Dead Jews", discusses with Fareed how the war in Gaza has led to a rise in antisemitism and "Why the Most Educated People in America Fall for Antisemitic Lies" (as her recent article for The Atlantic was titled). Finally, Fareed looks at what appear to be stunning results of Indonesia's recent Presidential election.

Two years on from Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the war is largely at a stalemate but President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's troops face acute shortages of ammunition.Ukraine's cities still come under regular Russian bombardment, thousands of lives have been lost and many more displaced across Europe. Around 300,000 Ukrainians have applied for visas to come to the UK alone. Many more are in Poland and Germany. Tom Cheshire speaks to international correspondent John Sparks in Kharkiv about what life is like on the ground in Ukraine now and how Ukrainians are ready to continue the fight for their country. And we hear from Anfisa Vlasova who fled Kharkiv after the invasion to come to the UK on what life has been like here and how she and her fellow Ukrainian refugees feel about returning to their homeland.

February 24, 2024, marks two years since the beginning of the War in Ukraine. In the war's first year, Russia's assault on Ukraine shook the West, while Ukraine's defense of the territory captivated the world. While no less deadly or consequential, the war's second year has looked very different. The war has become a stalemate on the battlefield, altering the politics in Kyiv, the Kremlin, and among their respective allies. Neither country's leaders appear to be looking for a way out of the war anytime soon, and the prospect of peace in Ukraine seems as far away as it's been at any point in the last two years. On this episode, Dan Richards discusses the state of the War in Ukraine with Lyle Goldstein, a Senior Fellow at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University and director of Asia Engagement at Defense Priorities. They explore the shifting definitions of “victory” in both Kyiv and the Kremlin over the past 12 months, what an end to this conflict might look like, and what it would take to bring both country's leaders to the negotiating table.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Yaroslav Trofimov has spent months on end at the heart of the conflict, very often on its front lines. In this authoritative account, he traces the war's decisive moments—from the battle for Kyiv to more recently the gruelling and bloody arm wrestle involving the Wagner group over Bakhmut—to show how Ukraine and its allies have turned the tide against Russia in a modern-day battle of David and Goliath. ---------- BOOKS: Our Enemies Will Vanish – The Russian Invasion and Ukraine's War of Independence (2023) Faith at War (2005) Siege of Mecca (2007) ---------- GUEST: Yaroslav Trofimov is the chief foreign-affairs correspondent of The Wall Street Journal and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in international reporting for two consecutive years, in 2022 and 2023. Before covering the Russian war on Ukraine, he reported on most major conflicts of the past two decades, serving as the Journal's bureau chief in Afghanistan and Pakistan and correspondent in Iraq. He holds an MA from New York University and is the author of several highly critically acclaimed books. ---------- ABOUT "OUR ENEMIES WILL VANISH" Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Yaroslav Trofimov has spent months on end at the heart of the conflict, very often on its front lines. In this authoritative account, he traces the war's decisive moments—from the battle for Kyiv to more recently the gruelling and bloody arm wrestle involving the Wagner group over Bakhmut—to show how Ukraine and its allies have turned the tide against Russia in a modern-day battle of David and Goliath. Putin had intended to conquer Ukraine with a vicious blitzkrieg, in a few short weeks. But in the face of this existential threat, the Ukrainian people fought back, turning what looked like certain defeat into a great moral victory, even as the territorial battle continues to seesaw to this day. This is the story of their epic bravery in the face of almost unthinkable aggression. For Trofimov, this war is deeply personal. He grew up in Kyiv and his family has lived there for generations. He tells the story of how everyday Ukrainian citizens—doctors, computer programmers, businesspeople, and schoolteachers—risked their lives and lost loved ones. At once heart-breaking and inspiring, and combining vivid reportage with expert military analysis and rare insight into the thinking of Ukrainian leadership, Our Enemies Will Vanish tells the riveting story Ukraine's fight for survival and refusal to surrender as it has never been told before. ---------- LINKS: https://twitter.com/yarotrof https://www.wsj.com/news/author/yaroslav-trofimov https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/72796/yaroslav-trofimov/ https://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/yaroslav-trofimov-and-james-marson-wall-street-journal ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

How did strategic missteps early in conflicts such as Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan haunt the United States in the long run? General David Petraeus joins Admiral Robert P. Wright to unpack failures in strategic leadership that plagued these wars from the outset. In a wide ranging discussion, he outlines the four key tasks he believes military and civilian leaders must tackle: getting the big ideas right, communicating them effectively, overseeing rigorous implementation, and constantly refining based on evidence and results. With historical depth and personal perspective from commanding troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Petraeus analyzes Russia's strategic mistakes in invading Ukraine as well. He explains why continued robust aid to Ukraine serves America's national interest in supporting democracies against autocracies aligned with US competitors like China and Iran.[00:00 - 10:05] - Writing the Book and Strategic Leadership FrameworkOutlines 4 key tasks of strategic leadershipApplied model to leadership roles in military, sees parallels in business[10:06 - 25:15] - Vietnam and Iraq Case StudiesFailure in Vietnam was not understanding population-centric counterinsurgencyTwo phases of Bush's leadership in Iraq war; early strategic misstepsPetraeus empowered by Bush's direct leadership and oversight during surge[25:16 - 39:10] - The Long Afghanistan ConflictBrilliant initial 2001 campaign but lacked sustainable inputs and strategyStill sustainable for US at low troop levels compared to VietnamBiden withdrawal opens door for Taliban, Al Qaeda resurgence[39:11 - 49:00] - Russia's Invasion of UkraineZelensky's strategic leadership rallied Ukrainians with powerful messagingRussia underestimated resolve and fighting capability of Ukrainian forcesPetraeus argues continued robust support for Ukraine in US national interest[49:01 - 50:42] - Key Takeaways on Strategic LeadershipImportance of understanding context and getting big ideas rightCommunication and implementation matter little without strategic clarityFailures often trace back to flaws in initial strategic thinking and leadershipKey Quote:“We could not win a war of attrition with a country that regarded casualties very, very differently than we did. “ - General David PetraeusDid you love the value that we are putting out in the show?

February 2024 will mark the tenth anniversary of Russia's seizure of Ukrainian territory in Crimea and the Donbas and two years since its full-scale invasion. While military assistance from Ukraine's allies has been gradual and cautious, retaliatory sanctions have been impressive. "The sanctions imposed against Russia beginning in late winter 2022 were sweeping, historic and rolled out with stunning rapidity,” writes Christine Abely in The Russia Sanctions: The Economic Response to Russia's Invasion of Ukraine (Cambridge University Press, 2023). Yet, until now at least, most Russians have been insulated from their effects. As the war reaches an attritional stalemate and Putin waits for NATO's resolve to fracture, the sanctions and their lagged effects are taking on critical importance. Christine Abely is an assistant professor at New England Law in Boston. Previously, she taught at Boston University School of Law after a career at Massachusetts law firms specialising in business litigation, and international trade and sanctions law. While she has published papers on sanctions, food and sports law, The Russia Sanctions is her first book. *The authors' book recommendations are Backfire: How Sanctions Reshape the World Against US Interests by Agathe Demarais (Columbia University Press, 2022) and The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger by Marc Levinson (Princeton University Press, second edition 2016).

As Russia's conflict with Ukraine grinds deep into year 2, there are signals of impatience and exhaustion among the country's key supporters in the United States and Europe, and increasing chatter about "stalemate" and pushing Kyiv to the negotiating table. But even for the staunch isolationists who view the outcome of the conflict through the short-term lens, there are deep and profound implications for the future of the global economic system at stake, argues journalist Maximilian Hess in a new book. Hess's new book, "Economic War: Ukraine and the Global Conflict between Russia and the West," does not dwell long on the political motivations or the strategic calculations of the military conflict, but instead focuses on how the response after the 2014 annexation of Crimea prompted a rapid expansion of sanctions, trade disputes, and barrage of financial weapons between Russia and the West.  These tensions have escalated to the point that the current war shouldn't be viewed so narrowly as merely a land grab or a NATO-phobia in Moscow. Instead its meaning is much broader. it should be seen as a war against the primacy of the US dollar, the Bretton Woods system, and the overall economic order which has guided commercial relations among nations for the past half century. The response to the February invasion, beyond providing assistance for Ukraine to defend its sovereignty, has been to collectively punish Russia and damage its economy - a strategy that is loaded with future liabilities. "Even if one doesn't accept all those arguments, or is a US isolationist, the argument I try to put forward is that if we lose this war, particularly if it then drives a wedge between the United States and Europe, that will be the beginning of the end of the international economic order which not only the West but so much of the world has benefitted from," argues Hess in this interview with Robert Amsterdam.

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW, we are joined by Peter Zwack, Former U.S. Army Brigadier General and Global Fellow with the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute. He provides an update on the ongoing Ukrainian counter offensive against Russia, the mood among the Ukrainian population and leadership, and the continued focus on increasing supplies of military equipment and diplomatic support from western nations.

What are the connections between propaganda about the Russian Empire and the invasion of Ukraine? Mikhail Zygar, a renowned Russian dissident journalist, is the founding editor-in-chief of Russian news TV channel Dozhd, who was forced to close his company and flee the country after condemning the invasion. In July 2023 he came to Intelligence Squared to share his insights into the power struggles and myths that shape Russo-Ukrainian relations today. Drawing on his new book War and Punishment: Putin, Zelensky, and the Path to Russia's Invasion of Ukraine, Zygar explored how pervasive historical myths about Ukraine led Russian President Putin to underestimate the growing influence of Volodymyr Zelensky, the television comic who ultimately became Ukraine's president. Joining Zygar in conversation is Edward Lucas, columnist at The Times and an expert on National Security.

The stereotypical "hacker" who looks to do good in the world probably involves a Guy Fawkes mask and black hoodie. But hacktivism has become much more than that, especially since Russia invaded Ukraine. On the heels of a newly released overview on hacktivism, Lexi DiScola from the Talos Threat Intelligence and Interdiction team joins Talos Takes this week to discuss these actors. While not just anyone is likely a target for hacktivists, Talos has seen groups become more brazen and start looking to make money off their operations. 

Since the start of the war, experts in the U.S. and Europe have lamented that countries outside the West have been slow to stand by Kyiv. What's behind the caution towards aligning with the West?

For months, Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has been railing against his own country's military leadership. It all came to a head this weekend – when the mercenary leader gathered his troops, took over a Russian city, and started to march towards Moscow. Then – as suddenly as it began – it stopped. Russia says Prigozhin has fled to Belarus, and his troops will all be granted amnesty. But an independent Russian journalist in exile doubts the official narrative, and speculates on Vladimir Putin's future..  Guest: Mikhail Zygar, Russian journalist and author of the upcoming book, “War and Punishment: Putin, Zelensky and the Path to Russia's Invasion of Ukraine”  If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine last year, Moscow has continued its clampdown on independent media within its borders. Many Russian journalists fled rather than risk imprisonment. One of them is journalist Mikhail Zygar, whose book "War and Punishment: Putin, Zelensky, and the Path to Russia's Invasion of Ukraine" is coming out in July. He joins John Yang to discuss his experience. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Friday, Feb. 24, marks one year since Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, which has cost hundreds of thousands of lives. Ahead of the one-year anniversary, Russian President Vladimir Putin met Wednesday with China's top diplomat, Wang Yi.Dakota Wood, a senior research fellow in defense programs at The Heritage Foundation's Center for National Defense, says the visit wasn't that "out of the ordinary, in terms of the relations that exist between various powers." (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)However, "the unusual part would be this very overt effort between China, [the] Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping, to work more closely and overtly, very explicitly with Vladimir Putin, Moscow, Russia as a whole," Wood says. "So, is it an alliance? I don't know that. ... It's an alliance in practice, as opposed to some kind of a formal alliance that we saw in World War I, World War II amongst Axis powers."Wood adds: So, from the perspective of Moscow and Beijing, isn't it better to join forces in a sense such that together, operating in our own spheres, it causes more problems for the United States, who is increasingly unable to address two major competitors at the same time, keeping us off balance, dividing attention, and really putting a stressor on the resources we have available. Wood joins today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss reporting that the U.S. is increasing its troop presence in Taiwan, lessons from the war in Ukraine, and the potential for China to supply Russia with weaponry.

Then CNA Russia Studies Program Director Michael Kofman and War on the Rocks founder Ryan Evans discuss the current state of the war and what we might expect on the battlefield in the future. Moldovan journalist Paula Erizanu explains what is happening in Moldova, a country that now finds itself in Russia's crosshairs. Plus, Nicole Perlroth, advisor to the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, joins to talk about the less visible Chinese threat: cyber espionage. And finally, Bianna speaks with Wa'el Alzayat, former Senior Policy Advisor to Samantha Power, about the lack of aid entering Syria in the wake of the devastating earthquake and the political forces at play.  GUESTS: Tikhon Dzyadko (@tikhondzyadko), Ekaterina Kotrikadze (@katyakotrikadze), Michael Kofman (@KofmanMichael), Ryan Evans (@EvansRyan202), Paula Erizanu (@paulaerizanu), Nicole Perlroth (@nicoleperlroth), Wa'el Alzayat (@WaelAlzayat).To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
