Edition No146 | 25-05-2025 - In a clear indication that peace is the last thing on Putin’s mind, overnight on May 25th Russia attacked Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions with drones and missiles, in an attack that may constitute the largest of the war, and certainly the largest over several nights. The bombardment killed at least a dozen people including three children, according to local officials. Russia launched 69 missiles and 298 drones, according to Ukraine's Air Force.The attack coincides with Kyiv Day, a city holiday typically celebrated on the last Sunday in May and follows on from one of the heaviest Russian assaults on Kyiv throughout the full-scale war. The Ukrainian Air Force reported 45 cruise missiles were shot down by air defence systems and 266 drones neutralized. 22 locations recorded direct strikes. Kyiv was not the only place targeted or hit. In addition, explosions were reported in Odesa, Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Konotop, Chernihiv, Ternopil, and Kharkiv, according to local news outlet Suspilne.----------LINK:https://kyivindependent.com/russia-launches-mass-attack-on-kyiv-ukrainian-cities-for-second-night-in-row/https://kyivindependent.com/explosions-reported-in-kyiv-amid-russian-drone-attack/https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/05/24/russia-strikes-kyiv-after-first-stage-of-major-prisoner-swap-a89203https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/05/24/russia-says-307-pows-exchanged-with-ukraine-on-second-day-of-swap-a89204https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/05/22/trump-putin-call-signals-risky-shift-toward-appeasement-through-trade-a89185https://kyivindependent.com/putin-remains-confident-in-russias-ultimate-victory-in-ukraine-us-intelligence-reports/https://kyivindependent.com/russia-hasnt-faced-enough-pressure-ukrainian-and-foreign-diplomats-react-to-massive-overnight-attack-on-kyiv/----------Your support is massively appreciated!SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGNEvents in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon CurtainNEXT EVENTS - LVIV, KYIV AND ODESA THIS MAY AND JUNE.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

Joe Lindsley is a traveller and a writer, and American reporting on Chicago's WGN Radio from Ukraine each and every weekday of Russia's full-scale war. He once was protégé to Fox News founder Roger Ailes, but Lindsley escaped that frenzied world where power mattered more than truth. He came to Lviv for a Ukrainian Catholic University journalism conference on Information Overload, AI, and Responsibility. Then the Coronavirus shut down world travel, and he stayed to build a better vision for the media industry.OTHER VIDEOS: 1. https://youtu.be/DM42QAF2ia4 (07-Nov-23)2. https://youtu.be/KAGt83FzXmI (26-Jan-24)3. https://youtu.be/AlD3HUTQAag (20-Feb-24)4. https://youtu.be/w8Y1XLuhB9Q (04-Apr-24)5. https://youtu.be/eA6DI5bwrq8 (05-Jun-24)6. https://youtu.be/VmQE32SHg88 (14-Nov-24)7. https://youtu.be/_0YldajNrWg (29-Jan-25)8. https://youtu.be/BcUHYVNZ5Ck (10-Feb-25)9. https://youtu.be/QIhXpr_VhFQ (15-Feb-25) ----------LINKS:https://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/donation/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Lindsleyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-lindsley-60087618/https://www.youtube.com/@jplindsleyhttps://twitter.com/JPLindsleyhttps://www.instagram.com/jplindsley/https://www.facebook.com/josephlindsleyhttps://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/ ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Edition No145 | 23-05-2025 - Julia Davis has penned a superb article, published on CEPA’s website. She describes the Kremlin’s propagandists as being in ebullient mood as they anticipate the disengagement of the US from mediating in the Ukraine conflict. This is what they wanted all along, and Trump is threatening to give them exactly what they were craving. Normalization on the world stage, and absolute impunity to continue the war. Don’t look to the sterile public statements and press releases to understand the mind and mood of the Kremlin, states Julia Davis, but listen to its highly paid propagandists in the state-controlled TV studios. They are regularly briefed by the Kremlin’s handlers on what they can and can’t say, and the scripted narratives of TV discussions are highly choreographed to show the regime’s views and aims, and where any internal doubts exist, the debate traces the outlines and boundaries of the potential directions under discussion. The May 19th phone conversation between Putin and Trump about a possible peace deal in Ukraine is a classic case in point. The US administration gave a positive, if distant view of a potential peace negotiation. Holding out a whisp of hope for future renewal of dialogue. The Russian take, on the other hand, was the same as it has always been. Russian state television repeatedly stated that Moscow has no interest in a ceasefire or peace — unless it amounts to Ukraine’s full and unconditional capitulation. No change in policy, or actions supporting it.----------LINK:https://cepa.org/article/russia-to-ukraine-you-want-a-ceasefire-and-i-want-you-dead/----------Your support is massively appreciated!SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGNEvents in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon CurtainNEXT EVENTS - LVIV, KYIV AND ODESA THIS MAY.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

Edition No144 | 20-05-2025 - Journalist Ekaterina Barabash apparently escaped from house arrest, and fled Russia in May 2025. Russian film critic and journalist Ekaterina Barabash has penned an extraordinary article in the Kyiv Independent confirming what many realistic ‘Russia watchers’ have suspected through most of the full-scale war. Most Russians ‘don’t care about the war’ she claims.----------This is not a story about so-called good Russians and bad Russians. I’ve always felt that was a very unhelpful concept, with little explanatory power or practical use. Are people who actively support the regime doing bad things – yes. Are people who think the war should stop yet perform jobs such as programming Russian FPV drones bad – well, yes. But they may not think of themselves as immoral or even complicit. Are those who are against the war but do not protest in Russia bad? Are those who live outside of Russia, work and live their quiet lives yet don’t organise to oppose the regime bad? We could perhaps say the same about most people who don’t protest the slaughter in Gaza, Sudan and innumerable other parts of the world. It’s complicated. Are people who continue to live and pay taxes in Russia contributing to the slaughter in Ukraine bad? Yes – but don’t Europeans by buying Russian LNG gas and oil also directly funding the slaughter of Ukrainians yet may also be vehemently against the war.----------LINK:https://kyivindependent.com/almost-all-russians-poisoned-by-imperial-propaganda-says-journalist-ekaterina-barabash-after-escaping-russia/----------Your support is massively appreciated!SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGNEvents in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon CurtainNEXT EVENTS - LVIV, KYIV AND ODESA THIS MAY.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.
