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. ---------- ARTICLE: https://bloodgoldreport.com https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3744338-jessica-berlin-berlinbased-security-and-foreign-policy-expert.html ---------- LINKS: https://www.jessica.berlin/ https://twitter.com/berlin_bridge https://www.linkedin.com/in/berlinjessica/ https://cepa.org/author/jessica-berlin/ https://www.policycenter.ma/adelportrait/jessica-berlin https://warsawsecurityforum.org/speaker/berlin-jessica/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

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.

The approach to supporting Ukraine which Western leaders have been taking so far has been „as long as it takes“. The lack of a clearly defined end goal impacted the pace and scale of the assistance, as well as raised questions on its efficiency. It cannot last this way in the protracted war as Ukraine’s mobilisation potential and resources are shorter than Russia’s. Instead, a clear commitment of the West to aid Ukraine with „whatever it takes for a fast victory“ is the only way to return sustainable peace back to Europe. ---------- ABOUT: Olena Halushka is a is a board member of the Ukrainian NGO “Anti-corruption Action Centre”, and co-founder of the International Centre for Ukrainian Victory.

Gregory Terry has worked in Ukraine for 26 years, facilitating the delivery of aid to frontline areas of the country. Like me, he uses YouTube as a tool to advocate for Ukraine and demonstrate the amazing work of his team on the ground. Greg has always been fascinated by the cultures, history, and languages of the region, growing up in an era which saw the opening up of the Soviet Union. I’ll let him tell the story of his family, and how he came to be connected to Russia and Ukraine. Greg now runs an NGO in Ukraine and considers the country his second homeland. ---------- CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/gregterryexperience "Welcome to our channel dedicated to supporting Ukraine!

With the vote on Ukraine on the cusp, the Pro-Putin wing of the American Far right is pushing a specific narrative designed to enrage Americans and call the Christianity of Speaker Johnson into question.

Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine has shattered peace in Europe. NATO's Strategic doctrine states that Russia is the most significant and direct threat to Euro-Atlantic security, peace, and stability. It’s clear Russia wants to establish spheres of influence and control other countries through coercion, subversion, aggression, and annexation. We can now see clearly that Russia uses conventional, cyber and hybrid means – including disinformation – against NATO Allies and partners. But it also deploys an array of illegal tactics against Ukraine – targeting civilian infrastructure, energy, agricultural, food and the economy and ecology, cultural targets, and civilian dwellings, uses rape, torture, and terror, and latterly strikes against first responders, massive glide bombs and chemical weapons. NATO says it does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia, but that may be part of the problem. Russia commits crimes on this scale because no one, apart from Ukraine, has shown the will to stop them, or pose a significant threat to Russia’s ambitions or Putin’s regime. ---------- Sten Rynning is Director of the Danish Institute for Advanced Study. Formerly he was Vice Dean for the Research at the faculty of business and social sciences, at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). He was also a member of the Alphen Group and a non-resident associate fellow at the NATO Defence College.

GUEST: Anastasiia Marushevska - Communications expert, speaker, writer, and traveller. ---------- About the report: This analytical report is dedicated to reviewing the origin and modifications of the Russian history-based propaganda that aims to legitimise the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The research provides a comprehensive analysis of the Russian historical myths that seek to distort Ukrainian history from the middle ages to the ongoing all-out war, covering Russia's claim for Ukraine's mediaeval heritage and false primacy in establishing the Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe, the myth of 'reunification' of Russian and Ukrainian nations, the history-based propaganda concerning Russia-occupied territories of Ukraine, the World War Two-related propaganda and instances of disinformation related to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Relying on methods of scientific analysis, source verification, analytical interpretation and Open Source Intelligence, the report accompanies the historical review of the analysed myths with the respective ideological implication and sources the research with specific examples of their use in Russian propaganda. ---------- LINKS: https://www.pr.army/ https://www.ukrainer.net/en/ https://deportation.org.ua/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/pr-army/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/ukrainer/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/where-are-our-people/ https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/115204.htm ---------- WATCH NEXT: Oleksandr Kraiev https://youtu.be/tbucZuR6CqI Eugen Fedchenko https://youtu.be/YDi5IKtlv1M Valeria Kovtun https://youtu.be/l7zw1L12ZVg Oleksandra Tsekhanovska https://youtu.be/sgwt2XwIS3k Olga Tokariuk https://youtu.be/b6Y0lHUqpeo ---------- PLATFORMS: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CurtainSilicon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconcurtain/ Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4thRZj6NO7y93zG11JMtqm Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/finkjonathan/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- Welcome to the Silicon Curtain podcast.

Fourthin a series of monthly conversations on Silicon Curtain, about how Ukrainians are redefining the ideas of freedom and democracy, and why Ukraine must not be allowed to fall under Russian control. ---------- ABOUT: 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.

Jonathan MS Pearce is a philosopher, author, columnist, and public speaker with an interest in writing about almost anything, from scepticism to science, politics, and morality, to the environment. Essentially because everything is philosophy. He is a former teacher and is now battling primary progressive multiple sclerosis. He can no longer play football with his twin boys, but he can still write a good column and book. And remarkably, and very bravely, he has just come back from an arduous journey to Ukraine’s frontlines. His experiences are the subject of today’s conversation. ---------- JONATHAN MS PEARCE LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/@ATPGeo https://twitter.com/ATipplingPhilo https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Jonathan%20M.S.%20Pearce/author/B004DAVFKC https://onlysky.media/jonathan-pearce/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
