The Most Important Unsolved Murder in the World: The Killing of the Ukrainian Peace Negotiator

Send us a textIt is the most Important, unsolved murder in the world today. Just after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, peace talks began between the two countries. A few days later, at the negotiations, there was an alleged case of poisoning where a number of the delegates, mysteriously, feel ill.  Then one of the Ukrainian team - Denys Kireev - was gunned down on the streets of Kiev.   Immediately after his death, another Ukrainian peace negotiator fled to the Polish border. He was arrested and put in prison for months.Why were some of the people at these important peace talks targeted and by whom?The peace deal between Russia and Ukraine was eventually sabotaged by the US and UK governments.Yet three years after the murder there have been no trials or even an arrest. On CrimeWaves, we are joined by Professor Ivan Katchanovski of the University of Ottawa to discuss the unsolved murder of the Ukrainian negotiator and the circumstances around the undermining of the peace deal that would have prevented the deaths of hundreds-of-thousands of people. #UkrainianRussiaWar #truecrimepodcast #Russiaukrainewar #Putin #CIA  Please Subscribe, Rate, Review or Like this episode wherever you listen to your podcasts.For more information on the show please visit our websites at: www.crimewavespodcast.comwww.declanhill.comTwitter: declan_hill

Send us a textIt is a bad time for Boeing.  Yesterday, there was - yet again - a deadly crash featuring one of their airplanes.  In June, the once mighty American plane manufacturer - pleaded guilty to a conspiracy of organized criminal fraud. Their executives were not enforcing a culture of safety and covered up potentially risky work at their factories.  This conviction was after two earlier crashes that killed hundreds of people,  a high-profile international embarrassment that left two astronauts stranded in space and dozens of safety incidents. However, some Boeing employees claim they tried to warn senior managers about safety problems. Their lawyer - Brian Knowles - in an exclusive interview with CrimeWaves speaks about the company and one whistleblower’s courageous fight for passenger safety. Please Subscribe, Rate, Review or Like this episode wherever you listen to your podcasts.For more information on the show please visit our websites at: www.crimewavespodcast.comwww.declanhill.comTwitter: declan_hill
