Saturday, February 24th marked two years since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains determined to defeat Russia and continues to request aid and resources from the U.S., urging that a lack of support from President Biden could lead to dire consequences for his country. Though the President announced the U.S. would be implementing more than 500 new sanctions against Russia on Friday, no aid can be sent to Ukraine until a foreign aid package can successfully pass through Congress, which has proven to be a challenge. National security expert Rebecca Grant explains the state of the region two years on. Later, Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova discusses the important U.S.-Ukraine relationship. The House has voted to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, the first time a member of the President's cabinet has faced an impeachment since the 1870s. Republican lawmakers are preparing to hold a full Senate trial holding the Biden administration responsible for the crisis at the Southern Border. However, many Washington insiders believe the Senate will likely acquit Secretary Mayorkas. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains how a Senate impeachment trial differs from a presidential one and the political implications it brings for both parties involved.

G'day Diplomates fans:To round out the year, we had our great friend Hagar Chemali on discuss EVERYTHING happening in the world:Including:-- Israel Palestine and what happens next-- Trump in 2024-- The politics of Ukraine aid-- Hong Kong and Russian 'elections'-- India, Canada and the politics of assassinationsAND MORE!Please get yourself a copy of The Sun Will Rise The Sun Will Rise is inspired by true events and dedicated to the brave heroes of Ukraine. It is based on Misha's reporting from inside Ukraine, real events from the war as well as the complex history between Russia and Ukraine. ABOUT THE SUN WILL RISE: Oksana Shevchenko remembers life as it once was. Before the War. Before the Invaders stripped her freedom away. Before the Motherland decided to take what wasn't hers, and call it her own. As the leader of the local Union, thirty-one-year-old Oksana has met her match in enemy officer Lieutenant General Mikhailovich, who will stop at nothing to win glory for the Motherland – and himself.  After he captures the city of Heryvin, the young, ambitious Mikhailovich forces Oksana and her Union comrades to operate the local nuclear power plant for the Motherland's gain, while sapping its capacity to operate safely.  It's a nightmare for a city still reeling from the disastrous Accident that took the lives of dozens – including Oksana's father – decades before. Caught between her loyalty to those resisting the Occupation and a nuclear catastrophe threatened by increasingly impossible orders, Oksana must find a way to defeat Mikhailovich before his sadistic determination leads him to doing the unthinkable.  But Oksana might not be alone in her fight, because war makes heroes out of the ordinary and unlikely. A grandmother defiantly waving the colour of her nation. A principal offering a safe haven for students dreaming of brighter futures. A young adult choosing courage in the face of mortal danger. A country quietly showing that glory belongs to those who dare to hold on against impossible odds.  Because one day soon, the sun will set on dictators.  And the sun will rise on freedom once again. Inspired by true events in Ukraine, The Sun Will Rise is a tribute to those bravely fighting for their freedom – and ours. PRAISE FOR THE SUN WILL RISE: Stirring, brilliant, soulful. An Orwellian tale, evoking the very essence of Ukraine's fight for freedom and our right to exist”  — Kira Rudyk, leading Ukrainian Member of Parliament. “A love letter to the human spirit, Zelinsky's deeply personal coverage of Russia's invasion comes to life in this stunning first novel. An affecting story about the humanity behind the news”  — Wayne Swan, President of the Australian Labor Party, former deputy prime minister and world finance minister of the year.  “Zelinsky's outstanding journalism transported Russian brutality and Ukrainian bravery from the battlefront to our homes. Now, this story gives us a reason to hope”  — Ambassador, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, Ukraine's Ambassador to Australia. “Misha Zelinsky has penned a gripping book which although fictional, depicts the courage, strength and conviction of the Ukrainian people fighting for their freedom and sovereignty. Once you pick up The Sun Will Rise, you will not be able to put it down.  It is an exciting read.   — Ambassador Paula J. Dobriansky, former Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs (2001-2009) “A gripping page-turner, set in Ukraine in the wake of Russia's invasion. Misha Zelinsky has captured the bravery and humanity of Ukrainians living under occupation, as well as the callousness and cynicism of Vladimir Putin's soldiers. Original, compelling, and topical, The Sun Will Rise is an impressive novel which brings to life recent history.” — Luke Harding, award-winning foreign correspondent with the Guardian and New York Times best selling author of books including Invasion: Russia's Bloody War and Ukraine's Fight for Survival, shortlisted for the Orwell prize. “Zelinsky has turned his superb war reportage into a riveting first novel, inspired by real people and events, but transcending them to convey the heart behind the conflict. If you want to know why Ukrainians fight and why it's our fight too, this is the place to start. Reminiscent of Disraeli—a novelist turned British statesman—a writer with such soul, who knows what makes people and countries great, would be a rare addition to our public life.   — The Hon. Tony Abbott, 28th prime minister of Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NATO leaders welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Lithuania this week, 16 months after Russia's invasion. President Zelenskyy voiced his frustration with the lack of a clear timeline for his country's entry into the alliance. Many U.S. lawmakers have raised concerns regarding the possibility of Ukraine's membership in NATO, fearing it will only escalate tensions with Russia and bring the alliance closer to conflict. Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova discusses her takeaways from the NATO summit, concerns over the use of controversial cluster munitions, and bipartisan support she's received from lawmakers for U.S. budget assistance to Ukraine. After a ​four-year term, United States Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley will retire in the fall of 2023, leaving a vacant spot to be appointed by the President and passed by the Senate. However, this position along with many other military positions is held up in the Senate by one Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who is protesting the Pentagon's policy that helps reimburse servicemembers for abortion costs if they traveled to a legal state to access one. FOX News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin reveals what we know about the possible new Joint Chief of Staff General Charles Q. Brown, details what other military positions that have been on hold, and explains what needs to happen in order to fill these senior spots. Learn more about your ad choices.

Washington Post foreign affairs columnist David Ignatius speaks with Ukrainian ambassador to the United States Oksana Markarova about the war in Ukraine one year on, U.S. support for the country and what's at stake for the global order. Conversation recorded on Wednesday, March 1, 2023.

In the second part of the interview, host Paul O'Mahony asks Ukraine's ambassador to Sweden, Andrii Plakhotniuk, about how the war has changed the focus of his job as ambassador, what Sweden is doing to facilitate Ukraine's EU accession talks, how the invasion has affected Ukraine's Swedish-speaking village Gammalsvenskby, and how Swedish humanitarian aid can help rebuild Ukraine.

After giving a stern warning to NATO, Russia has followed through on its threat. Just hours after Germany and the US announced they would be sending their most advanced tanks to Ukraine, a wave of Russian missiles struck Kiev, and cities in the country's south. Ukraine's prime minister confirmed the attacks, saying at least 55 missiles had struck the country, mostly hitting energy facilities and power stations. The barrage followed Wednesday's announcement that the US would be sending its M1 Abrams tanks while Germany pledged its Leopard 2s. The move reverses nearly a year of hesitancy by NATO, over fears the delivery would further antagonize Russia. Ukraine, which had been asking for the tanks since the start of the conflict, is also lobbying for F-16 jets. But German Chancellor Olaf Sholz shot down that option, saying the fighter aircraft were not on the table. So will these latest moves by the West bring Ukraine much needed help, or will it further provoke Russian attacks? Guest: Vasyl Bodnar Ukrainian Ambassador to Türkiye

11/10/2022. The latest news from Australia, Ukraine, and from rest of the World. The Federal Government has condemned Russia's latest attack on Ukraine, with Defence Minister Richard Marles accusing the Kremlin of showing no regard for human life. Russia launched a barrage of missiles at Kyiv, killing at least 14 people and injuring dozens more, which President Vladimir Putin claims is as a retaliation for the blowing up of the Crimean bridge. Mr Marles was with Ukraine's Ambassador to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko when the offensive was being launched at the country's capital, and said discussions were ongoing about further support for the besieged nation.

Ukraine's Ambassador to South Africa, Luibov Abravitova, is seeking clarity from DIRCO about whether or not ANC Youth League members travelled to occupied territories in east and southern Ukraine to act as election observers in recent referendums. Four occupied regions of Ukraine - Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, and Donetsk - which make up about 15% of that country, recently held referendums on whether or not to join Russia. The UN, EU, US and Nato-aligned countries regard the referendums as illegitimate, illegal and a sham. Abravitova told BizNews that if ANCYL members are there, "they violated Ukraine's immigration laws by entering into Ukraine". The ambassador refused to be drawn on internal political matters after the DA sought clarity on who funded the trip. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The Holy See said Pope Francis' recent comments on a car bombing that killed the daughter of an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin should not be interpreted as a “political stance.” In a statement released Aug. 30, the Vatican also called the Russia-Ukraine conflict a “large-scale war in Ukraine, initiated by the Russian Federation.” Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, some of Pope Francis' comments have come under criticism, including a statement he made in an interview in June that Moscow's invasion of Ukraine was “perhaps somehow provoked.” He was also rebuked by Ukraine's Vatican Ambassador last week for his characterization of the August 20 death of Darya Dugina, a 29-year-old journalist and political commentator known for her support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Dugina was the daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, a Russian political thinker believed to be close to Putin. The Holy See's unsigned communication said Pope Francis has made “numerous speeches” on the Ukraine War “mostly aimed at inviting pastors and the faithful to prayer, and all people of goodwill to solidarity and efforts to rebuild peace.” “It is reiterated that the Holy Father's words on this tragic issue should be read as a voice raised in defense of human life and the values attached to it, and not as taking a political stance,” the Holy See said. The Vatican's statement appeared to refer in part to criticism over Pope Francis' August 24 appeal for an end to the war in Ukraine, in which he referenced Dugina's death. “I think of that poor girl blown up by a bomb under her car seat in Moscow. The innocent pay for war, the innocent! Let us think about this reality and say to each other: war is madness,” Francis said at the end of his general audience. Ukraine's Ambassador to the Holy See, Andrii Yurash, criticized Francis' remarks on Twitter, writing that the speech “was disappointing” and conflated the categories of “aggressor and victim.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252154/vatican-pope-francis-ukraine-war-comments-not-a-political-stance Today, the Church celebrates Saint Jeanne Jugan, also known as Sister Mary of the Cross.

Those are the words of President Biden to the world, as the war in Ukraine enters its fourth month. Ukraine's President Zelensky meanwhile told the annual gathering at Davos that he fears the world is losing interest, that momentum behind Ukraine is fading. He appealed “not to lose this feeling of unity.” Sergiy Kyslytsya is Ukraine's Ambassador to the United Nations. He's spent the last three months since the invasion driving home the horror of this war, unafraid to confront his Russian counterparts, and he joins Christiane from New York.  Also in today's show: Mohammad Shtayyeh, the Palestinian Authority Prime Minister; Nina Jankowicz, who just resigned from Homeland Security's newly launched Disinformation Governance Board.

Ukraine's Ambassador to South Africa, Liubov Abravitova, says she wants ordinary South Africans to know her country fights for its very existence against a Russian enemy perpetrating genocide. Abravitova explains in her interview with BizNews – despite the efforts of many not to recognise it as such – that there has been a very real war raging in her country for over two months. It's a war that has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. As is so often the case in war, civilians bear the brunt of the suffering.
