Georgijs Ivanovs started the Ukraine Matters channel in 2007, and it has garners 11.5 m views. He started the channel to explain the situation surrounding the war in Ukraine in simple terms. Like myself, he is not Ukrainian, nor is he a military expert. But he has been to Ukraine many times and seen it almost fully (except for Odesa region). He has a lot of good friends in Ukraine, and in fact his wife is Ukrainian, and so feels extremely connected to the invasion that scaled up in February 2022. ----------LINKS:https://www.youtube.com/@UCvgxquzwLOWDTR9eq578Ecg ----------PREVIOUS VIDEOS:https://youtu.be/exCNgEKhVRE (25-Jun-23)https://youtu.be/5Fi38Zv8ROo (09-Oct-23)----------CHAPTERS: ----------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.

The world order is crumbling. The concept of finding a balance between great powers is redundant, as an alliance of autocratic states seeks to challenge global democracies more aggressively and directly and the institutions that underpin their societies. Of the four, three can be classed as quasi terrorist states, pariahs that seeks to maximise chaos and violence inn the world to further their own ends. Iran, North Korea and Russia. Do we need a new concept of global power to survive in this era, let alone thrive, as our values and institutions come under systematic assault from the axis of autocracy. ----------Pyotr Kurzin is host of The Global Gambit podcast, as is an historian of great power politics and the Cold War.

2024-09-01 | We are enabling a lottery of death to take place in Ukraine, daily, and itās both stupid and immoral. Our timidity must stop, otherwise Russian aggression will only escalate. ----------Ukraine has conducted the largest drone assault on Russian infrastructure of the war so far. Fires are reported at two power plants and oil refinery in Moscow region, with 158 Ukrainian drones targeting multiple regions, including Moscow, Tver, Voronezh, Tula, Kaluga, Bryansk, Belgorod, Lipetsk, and Kursk, according to officials and residents.The attacks follow Russiaās concerted attempts to degrade and destroy energy infrastructure in Ukraine, to make cities unliveable and create misery for its citizens. The scale of the strike suggests a significant advancement in Ukraine's drone capabilities.158 was the number of drones reported by the Russian Ministry of Defence, so the true number of drones may be even higher. It is an enduring frustration when multiple media outlets begin their stories with quotes from Russian officials, who invariably lie. ----------Sources and recommended reading:https://kyivindependent.com/russia-claims-dozens-of-ukrainian-drones-targeted-moscow-other-regions/https://kyivindependent.com/russian-forces-wiping-off-kursk-oblasts-sudzha-ukrainian-commander-says/https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/09/01/russian-energy-sites-targeted-in-mass-overnight-drone-attack-a86217https://www.kyivpost.com/post/38278 https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2024/09/01/kyiv-targets-15-regions-in-massive-overnight-drone-strikes-on-russian-energy-infrastructure-en-newshttps://kyivindependent.com/russia-attacks-kharkiv-injuring-at-least-28-including-medic/ ----------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.

2024-08-30 | Ukraineās offensive in the Kursk region seems to have triggered a meltdown among Russiaās propagandists and the talking heads on state TV. Despite the usual exhortations to violence, and denigrations of Ukraine, their ire this week seems to have turned on their own leaders, in the wake of Ukraineās success in grabbing and holding Russian territory in Kursk Oblast and now Belgorod and Bryansk. ----------
Phrases which are only usually heard by the most āextremeā liberal opposition commentators such as Michael Naki, are being screamed at viewers of the main Russian state TV networks. And some of the stuff they are saying is wild. The kind of stuff that usually causes bankers to fall out of windows in Moscow, or their private jets to experience mechanical trouble, as Prigozhin discovered. They are saying that the SVO (Special Military Operation) has run out of strength, that Russian victory is not guaranteed at all and most shocking of all, that Russiaās military and civil leaders have lost control of everything, and the territories lost by Russia to Ukraine may not be returning to the motherland anytime soon. Some have even expressed grudging praise for Ukraineās military prowess. Now, before we dive into the detail, I must emphasize what a seismic shock this has been for the propagandists, and we must assume, by extension, the Russian leadership. Itās a mark of how seriously Putin takes the incursions, that he has tried to avoid all mention of them. At the same time, he has taken the militarily catastrophic decision to appoint the FSB to lead the counter operation. In this episode, Iāll share some speeches by the panicking propagandists, which are indicative of the chaos, and their extraordinary statements. We must note of course that they are not critical of the idea of the war and would rapidly embrace any minor victory. No, they are critical of the leaders precisely because the war is not being prosecuted in a brutal enough manner or showing success.----------Sources and recommended reading:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrI3tcxswpohttps://www.youtube.com/@UCoAw0n5OyITkmejSCMfmnWg ----------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.

2024-08-27 | Civilians has been killed and injured as Russia launches a large-scale attack on Ukraine for second night, on 27th August 2024. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, this was possibly the largest attack on Ukraine since start of full-scale invasion. Russia launched 127 projectiles and 109 drones, while Ukraine downed 102 projectiles and 99 drones, estimated the Air Force. Russian strikes hit several civilian, energy, and fuel facilities, including a dam in Kyiv, part of the Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant, more on that in a minute. ----------Seven people were killed and 47 were injured, according to the State Emergency Service and this attack was spread over a huge territory, with Russian forces striking targets in 15 oblasts, according to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal. Russia is using an approach that combines many types of offensive weapons ā likely because this what they have, but also because the mixture creates a harder task for Ukrainina air defences. One Kinzhal ballistic, one Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic, one Kh-22 cruise, 99 Kh-101, Kalibr, and Kh-59/69 cruise, as well as 99 Shahed-type drones.Youāll notice that I avoid using the āMā word I here, because there is some evidence that the algorithm does not approve of that word, or the violent reality that it represents. Scanning the media reports, there is some coverage, but nearly as much as would be expected from such a serious event. Some commentators have slipped in the ad hoc analysis that this attack was ārevengeā for the Kursk incursions. But no Ukrainian analysts have expressed this view. Rather, they point out, that Russiaās behaviour has been consistent for 2 and a half years now. Where it can attack, it does. Where air defences are shown to be weak Russia attacks hardest, and where it can take out crucial energy and power-generating infrastructure, it goes after that. The behaviour has not changed, and the target has not changed. Only the intensity varies, and that is usually timed in a symbolic way after key holidays such as New Year and Ukrainian Independence Day which has just passed. Rather than revenge, this is the mindset of an abusive ex-partner that tries to excerpt his āownershipā over an abused spouse, even though he has no legal or moral right to do so. ----------Sources and recommended reading:https://kyivindependent.com/attacks-84/https://kyivindependent.com/russia-launches-largest-attack-on-ukraine-since-start-of-full-scale-invasion-air-force-reports/https://kyivindependent.com/at-least-2-dead-4-injured-in-russian-missile-strike-on-kryvyi-rih/https://kyivindependent.com/explosions-in-kyiv-russia-launches-massive-missile-and-drone-attack-on-cities-across-ukraine/https://kyivindependent.com/a-near-death-feeling-largest-yet-russian-attack-on-ukraines-energy-infrastructure-brings-back-widespread-power-outages/https://kyivindependent.com/borrell-calls-on-to-lift-ban-for-ukraines-use-western-long-range-weapons-after-russian-mass-aug-26-attack/----------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.

The approach to supporting Ukraine which Western leaders have been taking so far has been āas long as it takesā. 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 Ukraineās mobilisation potential and resources are shorter than Russiaās. Instead, a clear commitment of the West to aid Ukraine with āwhatever it takes for a fast victoryā is the only way to return sustainable peace back to Europe.----------ABOUT: Olena Halushka is a is a board member of the Ukrainian NGO āAnti-corruption Action Centreā, and co-founder of the International Centre for Ukrainian Victory.

2024-07-12 | It has been said that Russian corruption is Ukraineās greatest ally. But it seems that the interfering bureaucratic mindset of Russian politicians and officials is also a great aid to the Ukrainian war effort. ----------The Russian parliament adopted a law in July hiking the penalty for the unauthorised use of personal internet devices, and in fact any internet enabled gadgets, by frontline Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine. The new law follows reports the Russian army is experiencing record losses on the frontline. The law classifies possession of devices that allow military personnel to store or send videos, photos or geolocated data via the internet as a grave offense, punishable by up to 15 days detention. It also forbids the transmission of any information that could be used to identify any Russian troops and their whereabouts.There are some fears that this will make it harder to for Ukrainian units to analyse Russian movements, according to Ukrainian open-source investigators. But even if this law cuts both ways, on balance itās likely that Russian soldiers will come off worse. We can guess at itās negative impact by the uproar it has cause among Z-Patriots and bloggers. Yegor Guzenko, also known as the Thirteenth, said in a Telegram post that the entire army relies on internet devices. "But how can office rats understand and know this? Let's let these scumbags of the Duma go to war themselves," he wrote.----------Sources and recommended reading:https://www.politico.eu/article/russian-duma-adopts-law-on-punishment-for-soldiers-using-gadgets-on-the-frontline/https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-july-23-2024https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2024/07/24/russia-plans-to-punish-troops-using-smartphones-in-ukraine/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/07/putin-bans-electronic-devices-in-bid-to-stop-russian-military-leaks ----------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.

2024-08-21 | Where exactly is Vladimir Vladimirovich? This is the adult version of whereās Wally? Find the genocidal tyrant. Itās not even a matter of spotting him amongst the body doubles, trebles, quadruples, quintuples, etc. Heās nowhere. Largely vanished from the screens of state TV and official appearances.----------Itās been 2 weeks since a foreign army invaded Russia, the first time in fact for 80 years since the former ally of the USSR, Nazi Germany turned on Stalin. Russia has lost 1,250 kilometres and 92 settlements to a substantive Ukrainian army, and Putin chooses this moment to keep a low profile. Why is the dictator who fosters the image of a tough, man of action, who was going to take Kyiv in 3 days, and eliminate all the Ukro-nazis, silent on the fact that this decadent and ācorruptā adversary is now gobbling up chunks of Russian territory. Literally driving German tanks into Kursk to de-Putinise Russian territory. And many of the locals seem perfectly happy with this. My guess is that the tyrant is terrified, as reality catches up with his myths and delusions. ----------Sources and recommended reading:https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-08-16/ukraine-s-assault-inside-russia-is-putin-s-worst-nightmarehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XPSp-8bUY0----------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.

2024-08-20 | 2024, and Russiaās history is once more turning on the Kursk region. This is the campaign that broke Putin ā that showed the world the hollowness and impotence of the Russian army, the lunacy of his invasion of Ukraine and the toxic propaganda that sustains his regime. We are now in the second week of Ukraineās offensive within Russia, and there is no sign of a military response from Putin that has any chance of dislodging the Ukrainian forces. There are Georgians and Belarussians said to be among the troops, emphasising the anti-imperial character of the fightback against Russia. @SiliconWafers ----------In early 1941, spies and diplomats started to warn Joseph Stalin, dictator of the Soviet Union, that that the Nazis were about to strike. Reports that it was Hitlerās intention to rip up the non-aggression pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were received with increasing frequency and urgency. Stalin, apparently ignored them, believing them that the Germans would not choose to fight on two fronts, and any invasion would only come after they had defeated France. Soviet intelligence purportedly named the exact, or almost exact, date of the invasion no fewer than 47 times in the 10 days before āOperation Barbarossaā went into effect. Fast forward to 2024, and it seems that Putin may have been warned of Ukraineās incursion into Kursk days before it began, but again ignored the warnings. We examined the possible reasons why in the previous episode, but the historical parallels are interesting, nonetheless. The historical ironies accumulate. The battle of Kursk in the summer of 1943 was a critical turning point in World War II, an encounter that both sides knew would reshape the war. The adversaries were at the peak of their respective military powers. More than three million men and eight thousand tanks met in the heart of the Soviet territory. Defeat ended German hopes of restoring their position on the Eastern Front and put the Red Army on the road to Berlin. From there, Stalin went on to take Berlin, and place his brutal imprint on the post war order in Central and Eastern Europe. Many ancient states in Europe came under the dominance of The Soviet Union, and a process of political Russification extinguished their independence and hopes of democratic development. ----------Sources and recommended reading:https://kyivindependent.com/syrskyi-kursk-economist/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-war-latest-ukraine-captures-92-settlements-in-russias-kursk-oblast-kyiv-claims/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-allegedly-hits-3rd-bridge/https://kyivindependent.com/10-days-of-kursk-from-first-shot-to-capture-of-sudzha/https://kyivindependent.com/mick-ryan-on-ukraines-kursk-offensive-high-risk-high-return/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-established-military-administration-in-russias-kursk-oblast/----------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 No54 | 19-08-2024 - Washington is effectively blocking Britainās request for Kyiv to employ Storm Shadow missiles against targets within Russian territory, according to reports. This move comes amidst the Biden administrationās apprehensions about so-called āescalationā of the conflict in Ukraine. ~~~~~Reports continue to swirl that the US is effectively blocking Ukraine from firing British Storm Shadow missiles on targets within mainland Russia, mirroring its own restrictions on the use of highly effective long-range weapons against strategic military targets on Russiaās territory, for instance with ATACMS. These bases are used, not only to hit Ukrainian cities, civilians, and infrastructure, but also degrade Ukraineās military and quite possibly limit the scope and effectiveness of operations such as the Kursk offensive. The US has defined and imposed safe zones for Russian killing hardware, where they have impunity to murder Ukrainians, and can expect no repercussions for their actions. There are drones of course, but these neither have the scale or speed to take out the Russian military bases and aircraft in a highly agile and timely way. The US policy has created a safe space for murder by Russians. ~~~~~SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain~~~~~NEWS SOURCES: KYIV INDEPENDENThttps://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-can-decide-how-to-use-spanish-supplied-equipment-spanish-defense-minister-says/https://kyivindependent.com/russia-used-over-40-missiles-750-guided-bombs-against-ukraine-this-week-zelensky-says/https://kyivindependent.com/attacks-82/https://kyivindependent.com/us-ukraine-discussions-about-long-range-cruise-missiles-in-advanced-stages-source-says/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-war-latest-ukrainian-forces-strengthen-their-positions-in-kursk-oblast-reportedly-destroy-another-key-bridge/https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-we-need-timely-delivery-of-promised-aid-packages-war-does-not-take-breaks/https://kyivindependent.com/10-days-of-kursk-from-first-shot-to-capture-of-sudzha/https://kyivindependent.com/attacks-81/https://kyivindependent.com/ukrainian-forces-entered-another-russian-oblast-media-say/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-hit-4-russian-airbases/https://kyivindependent.com/general-staff-says-russias-black-sea-fleet-submarine-sunk-after-successfully-hit/https://kyivindependent.com/thousands-flee-as-russian-troops-take-one-donetsk-oblast-village-after-another/https://kyivindependent.com/with-nord-stream-making-headlines-again-donald-tusk-tells-patrons-to-apologize-and-keep-quiet/https://kyivindependent.com/opinion-were-the-istanbul-peace-talks-a-missed-opportunity-for-ukraine/https://kyivindependent.com/russian-forces-start-fire-at-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-ukraine-says/https://kyivindependent.com/moscow-spreads-more-claims-about-alleged-ukraines-plan-to-attack-kursk-nuclear-plant/https://kyivindependent.com/media-russian-nuclear-giant-rosatom-funneled-hundreds-of-millions-euro-in-profits-through-the-netherlands/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraines-foreign-ministry-says-reports-on-germany-halting-military-aid-are-manipulation/OTHER SOURCEShttps://www.eurasiantimes.com/us-blocks-uk-authorization-for-ukraines/#google_vignettehttps://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/09/ukraine-us-weapons-russia-00167172https://thehill.com/policy/international/4767636-biden-ukraine-weapons-restrictions/~~~~~USEFUL LINKS:Vatnik Souphttps://twitter.com/P_Kallioniemihttp://www.medbat.org.ua/en/ Real World Newshttps://kyivindependent.com/https://www.kyivpost.com/https://english.nv.ua/https://www.themoscowtimes.com/https://meduza.io/enhttps://meduza.io/https://novayagazeta.eu/https://www.newsweek.com/topic/russia...Analysishttps://www.ft.com/russiahttps://www.economist.com/https://www.foreignaffairs.com/https://cepa.org/https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/~~~~~
