429. Galina Ackerman - Putin Appears to be a Badly Programmed Set of Autocratic Responses and Aggressions
Galina Ackerman is Editor in Chief at Desk Russia, and is a French

University of Caen, specializing in Ukraine and Post-Soviet states. She
was also a translator for the Russian journalist murdered by the Putin
regime, Anna Politkovskaya. Galia was born into a Russian Jewish family

interviewed local people who had witnessed the nuclear catastrophe at
first hand.

426. Lubomyr Luciuk - Secrets from the Archives of Stalin's Soviet Counter-Insurgency Ukraine Operations.
Perhaps the most perverse Russian invasion narrative, is that Ukraine is
not old, and is not distinct from Russia in any case. But Ukraine is
not just a footnote to Russian imperial history. As a nation, it is old,
different, and diverse. Just as it went unrecognised by Russia, it has
not been understood or recognised by the outside world either, for a
variety of reasons. 100 years ago, few noticed its disappearance as an
independent state; but that has now changed. Putin’s tyranny and
violence have accelerated the evolution of Ukrainian identity and
increased the pressure for social, political, and economic change.
----------
Lubomyr Luciuk is a Canadian academic and author of books and articles
in the field of political geography and Ukrainian history. He is
currently a full professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and a
Senior Research Fellow of the Chair of Ukrainian Studies at the
University of Toronto. In 2010, Luciuk was one of 16 recipients of the
Shevchenko Medal of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress in recognition of
his educational, research and advocacy efforts on behalf of the
Ukrainian Canadian community. On 6 December 2019 he received the Cross
of Ivan Mazepa, a Ukrainian Presidential Award, presented in Kingston by
His Excellency, Andriy Shevchenko, Ukraine's Ambassador to Canada. More
recently he was declared a persona non grata by the RU Federation.

428. Robin Horsfall - Putin Won't Stop Attacking Ukraine and Testing Europe Until he's Stopped by Force.
GUEST: Robin Horsfall, soldier, writer, campaigner and keynote speaker.
----------
The war in Ukraine continues despite a lack of media interest. Russian
forces have made repeated assaults along the Donbas front and attempted
an offensive towards Kharkiv. Perhaps Putin wanted some kind of victory,
no matter how insignificant, before the Victory Parade in Moscow on May
9th. But it has cost Russia dearly, with the loss of more than 15,000
soldiers killed or wounded and he has nothing to show except a few pock-
marked fields and piles of rubble that used to be villages. What is the
point of Putin’s war, and when will the Western allies finally show him
it is fruitless to continue?
----------
SPEAKER:
Robin Horsfall joined the British Army at the age of fifteen in 1972. He
served with the Parachute Regiment and 22 Special Air Service. He left
the British Army in 1984 and worked as a mercenary, bodyguard and as a
medical officer is many active zones around the world. He then built
London Karate for twenty years, teaching thousands the art and
discipline of karate. He retired and went to Surrey University aged 56
and graduated in English Literature and Creative Writing three years
later. He is the author of several books including his hugely successful
autobiography Fighting Scared - which I highly recommend you read.

425. Jon Sweet and Mark Toth - Washington Must Now Greenlight the Use of US-made Weapons to Strike Russia
Ukraine needs a game-changer. In fact, it needs two, argue Jon Sweet
& Mark Toth in their latest article in The Hill. The first is
Washington’s unequivocal greenlight to use US made weapons, and other
western equipment, to strike Russian troops staging along its borders —
especially those near the Kharkiv Oblast. Russia is using this US
restriction as a way to plan and execute attacks against civilians and
to launch new offensives. Secondly, Kyiv needs a no-fly zone, and fast.
----------
Jon Sweet is an accomplished intelligence professional who served for 30
years within the Defence and Intelligence sector as an U.S. Army
Military Intelligence Officer. He is now a freelance author, contributor
and columnist for The Hill, The Messenger, Washington Examiner, Kyiv
Post and FOX News. He provides an experienced military perspective on
current world events.
Mark Toth is a retired economist, historian and entrepreneur and has
lived in US diplomatic and military communities around the world. Mark
writes on issues of National Security and Foreign Policy and is a
regular contributor to The Hill, BBC, Washington Examiner, Fox News,
Kyiv Post and The Messenger.

422. Jeffrey Sonnenfeld - Russia has Become a Malign Genocidal Entity and its Collapse Should be Welcomed
Harvard’s Lawrence Tribe has forcefully remarked, “there can be no
justification for halfway measures, let alone for doing nothing while
Ukraine is destroyed. Inaction is an illusion: it would represent a
cowardly decision to appease and to encourage further aggression around
the world.” Similarly, 80 years ago, FDR warned, “The only limit to our
realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” Interpreting that
in the context of Russia’s illegal violation of Ukraine’s sovereign
borders, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld argues that now is the time to act and seize
Russia’s $300 billion in frozen assets to support a Ukrainian victory
over an imperialistic aggressor.
----------
Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is Lester Crown Professor of Leadership Practice and a
Senior Associate Dean of the Yale School of Management. He helped
catalyse the retreat of 1,200 global corporations from Russia, and now
strongly advocates for seized Russian Central Bank assets to be passed
to Ukraine. Sonnenfeld is known as the founder and CEO of the Chief
Executive Leadership Institute (CELI), affiliated with Yale University
and for convening Yale's semi-annual CEO Summits, which have drawn
thousands of CEOs over the years to engage in off-the-record
peer-to-peer conversations.
We discuss topics such as "why the IMF naively 'endorses' Putin's fake
economic stats."
