I have been listening to your broadcasts here in Perth, W. Australia for awhile now. I just want to show my appreciation of this brilliant analysis of Putin's speech and the perspectives that Sasha presented about Ukranian culture and how Ukrainian people are responding to nuclear threats.
Seconded from Hobart, Tasmania!
Listening from Australia, this is the best podcast on the Ukraine war yet, no other even comes close.
I agree, listening from Slovakia bordering with Ukraine, no westplaining bullshit, which I am really allergic to, no Elon Musk stupid "solutions". Excellent reporting. From my experience a lot of media in the "West" are sometimes naive, but this is really good. Our former general who is now retired, whom I am watching, is saying more or less the same as these guys. Greetings to Australia.
@@Diossvk Elon Musk is right we need peace not further esculation.
My favourite podcast on Ukraine
These guys blow the doors off their competitors. I agree
lol they are not the best... I suggest listening to other perspectives that are better informed.. kzhead.info/sun/mcd-eteJmYB4ma8/bejne.html
Another outstanding broadcast. A deeply insightful and considered presentation. Very many thanks for such clarity and professionalism. Shaun.
I know there is a production delay, this podcast benifit’s from a slower pace, much as I love it. The current Kherson action is one of the best examples of maneuver warfare we will ever see. Telegraph will tell us all about today, tomorrow .
VIVA President Zelenskyy he is a HERO! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦. Glory to the BRAVE HEROES 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦. Ukraine will win this war!!!
Great news but I’m more about Putin using chemical warfare he just buried in a straight line under ground that look like canisters with chemicals in them 😮
Worried
Dictator, Clown, Hero. Delete one extra.
Your in love with a madman
Comprehensive, cogent and concise these are just a few of the adjectives that describe your coverage of the Ukraine war. Keep up the good work.
Great episode, I wish we could have a longer podcast, there seems like more can be said on the war especially on the Kherson and Kharkiv fronts.
They call Kherson ‘the heart of the battle’ and is very hot w Ukrainian pushing there atm…
Podcast is very good to listen to while standing in the train and riding my bicycle jn the countryside.
Zuiver
Love this pod! I know I can trust the people in it!
By far the best daily discussion of the conflict.
Slava Ukraine from Northwest Indiana!!
I thought all people from Indiana were Pro Trump pro Putin.
@@uv77mc85 No. Not true. But we are a minority. I didn't think I could hate anyone more than Trump but I was wrong. Putin is Satan. Trump is merely Satan's spawn.
More than ever the UK needs a strong leader to unite us against our common enemy. The sooner Russia is pushed back the faster we can get on with our lives. We can't give in just because of rising costs. It's selfish. Support our community.
best podcast on Ukraine. i listen religiously everyday.
Most excellent news outlet. Well done.
As always, great analysis
I could listen to Dr. Dovzhyk all night. Slava Ukraïna.
Can we discuss the political issues this war has raised. The Right seem to think all help to Ukraine should stop. The left say everything is Russia’s fault. I lean right if centre but believe Russia has to be removed from Ukraine, because given a chance, they’ll simply regroup and start again.
I think Ukraine should be very quickly allowed to be a Nato country as soon as Russian troops are out and then Nato would be able to step right in to aid an already very good force within Ukraine and end things before they actually begin .
Nonsense
Agreed, wholeheartidly.
I don’t agree at all. On the Ukraine issue, the right/left divide isn’t as visible as on many other issues. There’re only fringe outliers argue for stopping helping Ukraine or trying to redeem Russia for what it done.
The Right have a habit of being on the wrong side of history. They specifically seem to like dictators and imperialism, so of course they would support Russia in annexing Ukraine. They seem to forget that an annexed Ukraine would be extremely dangerous to the West in general and to Europe in particular.
On the question of Putin slating the West as colonial powers, Russia itself was by far one of the greatest colonial powers. It colonised Siberia, parts of Manchuria ,vast parts of Central Asia and Alaska.
Dom, regarding your question about President Putin's use of metaphors and symbolism, I think it is part of the Soviet Heritage that was/ is part of the educational culture. The young Russians I met at university in Vladivostok mock it, but at the same time it is part of their mental culture. It exists. Is "it real"? It is what one can easily believe from time to time. and it does provide a shared cultural psychological language.
between the generations
Great programme, very informative, been listening to it for months now. Greetings from Serbia.
The level of innocence lost, already, is beyond criminal! Would be nice to hold a president accountable! I don't care who they think they are, or what country they run. They always get away! That needs to change!
Slava Ukraini
Glory to Ukrainian
Slava Ukraini!
I feel for all the people who are dying. Please join with me in praying for the type of spiritual and political earthquake in Russia that will lead to an end of this war. Pray also for protection for the Ukrainian soldiers down by the reservoir. They are vulnerable to artillery and drone attack from across the resevoir.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👍
I think Ukraine's application for NATO membership may very well be a case of creating a bargaining chip for negotiations down the road...Ukraine can give up the quest for NATO membership at some point in return for a withdrawal of Russian forces. Maybe Ukraine never gets formal NATO membership, but receives a steady supply of weapons from the US as a way of protecting Ukrainian sovereignty and deterring this type of invasion in the future
They will get security no matter what from several countries anyway so this doesn't happen again
Either Ukraine joins NATO or it gets a deal that says an attack on Ukraine is a declaration of war on the UK, Poland, Turkey and maybe Finland.
That may be the case but Russia will never again think of invading Ukraine if Ukraine is a NATO country. This would insure the repopulation of areas along Ukraine's border with Russia. This would give them security
Simple. Ukraine stays out of NATO but joins EU and gets a modern nuclear deterrent on par with Turkey or the UK
@@mrD66M Sounds ridiculous given the fact that neither Turkey nor the UK are members of the European Union.
Loved the broadcast…. Planning to read as many Ukrainian authors as I can. I need some info re Ukrainian lit. since I don’t know where to start. I loved Grey Bees.
The most famous Ukrainian writer is Nikolya Gogol! I’m rather surprised that your “expert” had not even mentioned him…
Everyone who has a proper gander at Russian propaganda can see how ridiculous it is. Even Mister Magoo and Blind Freddy can see that.
TY
Interesting insights into the language of putins speech. I hadn’t heard anything that indepth before
Because using nuclear weapons will also affect nearby NATO countries, President Biden said NATO "will respond in kind". And from what I have seen for many years, President Biden is a man of his word. Hopefully the Russian politicians will stop Putin's illogical threats of nuclear weapons.
Times up Putin… Tik tok ⏰ 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
I’m glad Ukraine are holding their own , well we hope so , hard to tell with the current msm . Sadly what ever the outcome the Ukraine will be owned hook , line and sinker by the WEF And or IEF .
Excellent podcast with journalist Farida Roustamova but the quality of her audio was very poor could not understand a lot of what she said 😞
It could be smart to just have another "Berlin Wall" at the "annexed" regions and just keep the sanctions going for the foreseeable future. Of course, the best option would be if Russia leaves Ukraine.
best comment here.
One theme of Russian current psyche i have heard which President Putin plays is, "Russia has never attacked anyone. Russia is always a victim in history.. Russia is only playing a defensive positiion. I realize this theme is part of psychological reality now. But how did it get started? Speaking as a small town American, and a transplant to Japan, this is such a curious lense to look at history from. I know a small bit of Russian literature, War and Peace by Tolstoy. So I didn't notice such psychic messaging. Am I mistaken? Were there characters who personalized this posture of being a victim, and non-aggressive? My old psych professor often said that if someone was spending alot of energy proclaiming what secret motives were not motives of the speaker, then this is exactly what haunts the motivation of the person. They will have this ghost in their mind that they are trying to banish by emotional protestation. , they use a psychic behavior of projection on to others, a historical and invalid character smear. .
Instead of all this nonsense, it was worth just studying Russian history without replacing it with a drop of Russian literature..
Not sure I agree Hitler would have used nuclear weapons had he had them. He had access to chemical weapons and did not use those in those last days in the bunker. Of course, this is merely academic. Whether Putin will use nuclear weapons or not, we can not capitulate to such extortion. Their use would have limited effect on the battlefield, and he knows that in doing so he would be hammering that last coffin nail himself.
I'm watching the Timothy Synder Ukrainian history series right now.
I dont like to state the obvious, but we are told the governor of the nuc plant was abducted and blind folded………who saw that?
I thik in the Ukrains are much gettos.
Guys, I love your content but your publishing times are really messed up. Why so late and so uneven in times? And different on different platforms. Superconfusing.
On the bombing raids on Dresden etc, I must also point out that they were begged for by Putin's hero Stalin. According to Stalin Britain and the US did not do enough and early enough.
What did the US and UK do? They opened a second front when they realized that the Russians will win, and they must hurry to divide the European pie. They opened a second front on June 6, 1944, after 5 years of war *(FIVE YEARS, CARL),* they sat out all the time while the Red Army was saving this world on the battlefields. The Red Army destroyed 76% of all German divisions, the rest fell on the so-called allies. Perhaps this truth is not taught in your schools. Obviously, the words about "not enough" did not refer to the demonstrative destruction of German cities - there the Allies gave their "best".
I will also add that it was no less than they deserved.
Solo añadir que España ha acogido, y lo hemos hecho encantados y estamos orgullosos de ello, a más de 150000 ucranianos desplazados por la guerra de Putin contra su país. Eso y la ayuda militar, logística y humanitaria que seguimos enviando. Los ucranianos tendrán siempre un hogar en España (un país siempre cálido en la acogida) y en toda la UE el tiempo que sea necesario.
Where are the Ukrainian Oligarchs? Russia or Ukraine?
En español decimos que las comparaciones son odiosas. Creo que comparar la economía y el nivel de vida en España con el de Rusia es un perfecto disparate y bastante ofensivo para España. Más bien, aunque a usted no le guste decirlo y, dicho sea de paso, tampoco mí, pero no me queda más remedio, la economía rusa se parecería más, salvando todas las distancias, a la de algunos países pertenecientes en el pasado al pacto de Varsovia.., países por otro lado queridos y aliados de España, que tiene tropas desplegadas en muchos de ellos. Les escucho a diario y aprecio mucho sus informaciones, aunque salta a la vista a menudo su escasa simpatía por la UE, sobre todo por los países situados más al sur (caso del mío) y al oeste. España, señor mío, es más, mucho más que ese país de 47 millones y medio de habitantes en que a muchos de sus compatriotas, siempre bienvenidos, les gusta tanto pasar sus vacaciones. Venga y visítelo de Norte a Sur y de Este a Oeste, seguro que queda usted agradablemente sorprendido. Saludos cordiales y todo el apoyo y la solidaridad con Ucrania y su heroica población. Gracias.
I would think the Russian rational use of nuclear weapons, considering the inconsistency of military quality, I would predict a "test use of a nuclear weapon" on a island atol. to see if their mechanisms actually work.
I am surprised at Russia’s economy being viewed as only as big as Spain’s …. With the oil and gas and indeed its own arms production and sales, together with a population around 140 M yes, over ‘the largest’ sized country but with its 40 Provinces and natural assets. The population alone shud be self sustaining to have a working economy … of course the Oligarch system exploits the people… but has taken this long for ‘sanctions’ to have effect. Agree Putin’s speech was typical propaganda rhetoric accusing West - he will be forever known for Genocide, War Crimes and Torture on innocents 😞
Mais cuequinhas americanas..... estão a cair que nem moscas, a adubar os campos da Ucrânia....tanta propaganda.....
Why are these uploaded days late. The success north of Kherson is Sunday's news. Wake up guys and get it together. No excuse
"Operational Security" they aren't telling anyone what's happening when it's happening. It's a media blackout on the fighting from ukraine. So a lot of the info is gathered using open source, and that info also needs better vetting.
When delusional fever dreams meet reality...
Dr Sasha seems like an extremist. I thought she was going to start quoting poetry from Bandera
Yeah, I'd imagine that, if my country was invaded I'd become fairly extreme as well! 🤣🤣
And, do not forget, that Russia is the last imperial and colonial power left in the World. It is dying, but still doing everything it can to preserve itself. Unfortunately it costs, a lot of human lives and suffering.
Ukraine lives...The Russian rouble has increased while the US stock market decreased, Europe is dealing with energy crises ....hope it was worth it.
OMG! It’s Ukrainians that would suffer the most from any nuclear attack…but suddenly UK journalists are afraid!!!? I want to know Dom’s specifics: if not a kinetic (that is, not nuclear) response, what is this other response he is talking about?! Seriously, is it China being mean by not supporting nuclear destruction? OMG! Who I’ve listened to has now become someone completely different!!! I am devastated…I can only count on the US!

Fantastic stuff but Please gently clean up speech pattern of 1st sticky reporter....bloody confusing to listen to
This is doms normal reporting throughly enjoy the way he reports and find the pop cast quite boring with out him
I don't think I'd turn this into a justification of the firebombing of Dresden...
Is it your contention that all bombings not done to intimidate Russia are justified? How else does a counterargument to Putin's self-centered interpretation equate to a justification?
Too much airtime for Sasha, sorry. She sounds rather entertained by the war.
All the curses against idolatry stated in Deuteronomy 28 have been happening to both Russia and Ukraine because they are both hoodwinked by their predominant moral authorities in their Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The curses attach up the third and fourth generations, but the Lord also says they can depend and turn from their sins for the Lord to bless and heal their land, per second chronicles 7:14. Please listen, those who have ears. Good bless, Ukraine people. Luvya all guys!!!!
All fine, but bombing of Dresden was crime.
Oh please, they got what they deserved and if it brought the war closer to ending then ultimately lives were saved.
@@thecfbutcher1174 says "butcher". Very similar to russian crime in Bucha.
Why does David Knowles always say 'Zafforizhzhia'?
Z
One of the most biased reports I have come across. The advance that was not an advance. Putin had evacuated the Kharkov region and removed all material. Ukraine military suffered big losses from bombing by Russian forces as they rushed into this area.
I prefer foreign channels because their spoken English respects the cadence of the language. Your podcast speakers tend to speak fast but haltingly with pronounced regional English accents. Ineluctably, I find myself focusing on the speaker, not the speech. Exhausting.
Goodbye then.

🤣🤣 So Russian soldiers should be in Kiev by next weekend then? Ooh and there'll be no need for 300,000 + reservists to be called up!! 🤣🤣
Please stop repeating Putin's speeches
Why? It was a great truthful speech. If Putin had been listened to more often instead of turning your nose at his words, then there would not have been the conflict that we are seeing.
I am from the so-called third world - the global south. I standby Putin whole-heartedly. We have never known peace and prosperity at the hands of the so-called West. All we have is a sorry history, full of colonialism, neo-colonialism and slavery. Russia and China helped us fight colonialism. Without Russia and China, we in the global south are finished and we will perish. Putin's speech resonates with me and my lived experience. It is full of nothing but the truth. This quote in particular rings very true - "Their hegemony has a clearly expressed totalitarianism, despotism and apartheid. They crudely divide the world into their vassals, so-called civilised countries, and everyone else, who today's Western racists believe should be listed as barbarians and savages", Putin, 30/09/2022. Westerners have always been squalid and feral racists. Where-ever they have gone in the world they have never got on with anyone. They have left a trail of destruction, wars, colonialism, slavery and suffering. Russia/Putin is our defender. He is our savior. Without him, the West will finish us off through slavery, poverty and extinction. The West only wants to see Anglo-Saxons only on this planet. It has always wanted to do this through colonialism and slavery. Only a full scale nuclear war will prevent this from happening. It will reset things. And I am all for it. Unlike the West, we in the global south are not scared of a nuclear war. We want to see it happen and we hope it will happen. We also hope that it will be a full scale strategic one, not a mini tactical one. We have suffered for far too long at the hands of the West.
Wow. A glutton for world destruction.
I fully agree with everything that Putin said, but thank God that he does *not share your aspirations for an inevitable nuclear war.* Putin is the most peaceful person in the world, who has to do what he must. Your comment looks like a simple provocation.
