402. Illia Ponomarenko - The Battle of Kyiv Ended with an Unscripted Ukrainian Victory over the Invaders.
Illia Ponomarenko is a Ukrainian journalist, war reporter and defence
analyst formerly writing for The Kyiv Independent. In January 2023,
given his prominent role in reporting from the conflict, he was
described by Der Spiegel as "likely the best-known Ukrainian after
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy". He has written an account of his
experiences reporting on the war – I Will Show You How It Was: The Story
of Wartime Kyiv (to be released in August 2024).
----------
BOOK SUMMARY:
In late February 2022, a series of missiles and rocket strikes began
falling upon Ukraine, as the Russian military barreled over the border
and fanned out across the country. First they took Chernobyl, then
Kherson, then Mariupol. Time stood still as the world waited for Ukraine
to flatten underneath the boot of its neighbor.
Meanwhile, on the front lines in the capital city, Kyiv Independent
reporter Illia Ponomarenko was seeing a different story on unfold: after
months-years-of waiting for this long-feared attack, Ukraine was fed up
and ready to fight back. The Russians bogged down hard in combat east
and west of Kyiv. They got exhausted. They screwed up logistics. They
sustained heavy losses. Their unbelievably overconfident blitz was
failing.
I Will Show You How It Was is Illia Ponomarenko's heart-wrenching memoir
of the war on his homeland, offering a fiery diatribe against Russian
hypocrisy and a moving look at what is being lost. But it's also a story
of pride and even elation as Ukrainian forces come together, find their
mojo, and oust the invaders from Kyiv. The most powerful and personal
chronicle of the war to date, I Will Show You How It Was is an
exceptional literary achievement, chronicling a stunning feat of
resistance and a courageous people set on a miraculous victory.

401. Colby Badhwar - Why US Military Aid Package will not be Enough to Achieve a Real Ukrainian Victory
Ukraine will not succeed in liberating its lands without the provision
of long-range missiles, argues Colby Badhwar. For Kyiv, the ability to
strike operational and strategic targets deep inside enemy territory —
i.e. inside Russia itself — is not a whim, but a crucial necessity. But
are allies framing their strategy and aligning their production and
logistic capabilities accordingly? The manufacturer of German TAURUS
missiles has halted production due to a lack of orders. Meanwhile,
Chancellor Olaf Scholz remains adamant in refusing to supply Ukraine
with long-range weapons. Do the Western allies want victory, or merely
prevent Ukraine from being annihilated by a revanchist Russian empire?
----------
Colby Badhwar is a security columnist at The Insider, a Russia-focused,
independent media outlet. He is a defence and news analyst with an
emphasis on procurement, arms sales military aid to Ukraine. Colby is
based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

400. Ilya Ponomarev - ‘Elites’ in Russia Fight Over Positions, Resources, Wealth, Status and to Survive
Ilya Ponomarev is a Russian-Ukrainian politician who was a member of the
Russian State Duma from 2007 to 2016. After the 2022 Russian invasion,
Ponomarev joined Ukraine's Territorial Defence Forces, and categorically
denounced the invasion. While a member of the Russian State Duma, he
was the only deputy not to vote in favour of the Russian gay propaganda
law and to vote against Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014. In
2015, while in the US, Ponomarev was formally charged in Russia with
embezzlement, which he called politically motivated. In 2016, he was
impeached for not performing his duties, and he went into exile in
Ukraine, where he obtained Ukrainian citizenship in 2019. Ilya Ponomarev
has endorsed acts of sabotage and arson in Russia and claims to be a
spokesman with insurgent Russian forces (National Republican Army)
fighting on the side of Ukraine.

Taras Kuzio, a British academic, discusses the complicit role of Russia's Orthodox Church in genocide, abduction, and persecution in Ukraine. The podcast explores the historical ties between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Kremlin, its involvement in Ukraine, the power struggle between the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches, and the Church's alignment with the imperialistic aspirations of the Russian state.

396. Jessica Berlin - Policy of Escalation Management has Hurt Ukraine and is Not a Strategy for Victory.
Fears of Russia’s collapse in Biden’s and Scholz’s administrations run
deep and can't be changed by telling stories of Russian war crimes
alone. Advisers and analysts have been conditioned by decades of Soviet
nuclear threat and memory of the chaotic and rapid collapse of the
Soviet Union in the 1990s. But what can turn politicians that cling to
security blanket of escalation management, into leaders that imagine a
Ukrainian victory, a triumph of pluralistic, democratic values, and plan
accordingly?
----------
Jessica Berlin is an international political analyst, founder of the
strategy consultancy CoStruct, and Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors at the pan-African fintech company Bridge Technologies. She
has previously lived in Afghanistan, China, Myanmar, Rwanda, the UK, and
US and worked in security, foreign policy, and economic development.
Institutions she’s worked with include the US Senate, US Department of
Defence, and the German development agency. Her commentary has been
featured on CNN, BBC, DW News, the Washington Post, Le Monde, and many
others. She is currently a Non-resident Fellow at the think tank CEPA
and has held past fellowships from the German Marshall Fun, the Robert
Bosch Foundation, and others.

394. Stas Olenchenko - Analysing Propagandists that Normalise, Whitewash and Weaponize Russian Narratives
Disinformation continues to be a threat to Ukrainian sovereignty and is
also targeted at Western democracies and allies of Ukraine. Around the
world aggressive information warfare threatens information security and
social stability, especially in states which Russia seeks to destabilise
or coerce into supporting it. As we saw in the 2016 US elections, it
can potentially threaten results of voting, place undue influence on
voters’ decisions and undermine democratic processes. This is more
important than ever, with a slew of elections in 2024 and the advent of
exponential AI created fakes.
----------
Stas Olenchenko is a content strategist and writer focused on Ukraine,
media and tech. He is the writer behind “The Words War” newsletter,
which focuses on undoing myths about Ukraine.
