Episode notes

Exploring the impact of the two year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ten year anniversary of the Revolution of Dignity. Insights from the protests in Kyiv's Maidan square and reflections on the changes in Ukraine since gaining independence are shared. The chapter also delves into the violent events of early 2014 and the commemoration of Ukraine's revolution of dignity.

If it succeeds—and that is no sure thing—this week’s soft landing of Odysseus will be the first by a private firm. We examine the prospects and the business models of the Moon rush. Our producer visits Ukraine to mark the anniversary of a revolution that helped to shape today’s conflict (11:22). And the rise and coming fall in entertaining British obituaries (21:25).
