133: Reflections on a Protest Movement

Election Day is right around the corner, and Ukraine is on the ballot. But how should an American sympathetic to the Ukrainian people vote to ensure that support turns into policy? For that, we have the new organization Track Ukraine and its founder, Dylan Burns.TrackUkrainehttp://www.trackukraine.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQghs3tMyfXBFIIpA7DI3eQTwitterAnthony: @BartawayUkraine Without Hype: @HypeUkraineOther Social Mediahttp://youtube.com/@UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://instagram.com/ukrainewithouthype/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resources and Charities⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/ukrainewithouthype

Donald Trump takes a more severe stance toward Ukraine than ever before. He waived sanctions on Russia, allowed imports of Russian diesel, and, most troubling, choked off intelligence sharing and restricted the use of Starlink satellite internet. But first we cover the deteriorating situation in Kyiv regarding missile and drone strikes.Also:- Journalist arrested in Vienna while investigating former Prosecutor General- Russian attacks on Black Sea shipping- EU sanctions- Russia seizes European assets- South Korean diplomatic conflictTwitterAnthony: @BartawayUkraine Without Hype: @HypeUkraineOther Social Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://youtube.com/@UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://instagram.com/ukrainewithouthype/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resources and Charities⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/ukrainewithouthype

How did the party of Reagan come to be so favorable to Russia? The easy answer comes down to just Trump, but it is rooted in a much older tradition that was counting down the years until the end of Cold War consensus to assert itself. It is a story of anti-liberalism, anti-modernity, and, often, antisemitism.TwitterAnthony: @BartawayUkraine Without Hype: @HypeUkraineOther Social Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://youtube.com/@UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://instagram.com/ukrainewithouthype/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resources and Charities⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/ukrainewithouthype

We spoke with community member Roma, a daily participant in the protest movement against the sacking of former Defence Minister Fedorov. He explains the protesters' day-to-day activities, how the movement evolved as issues were resolved, how it organised as a grassroots movement, and what may happen next.

Both Russia and Ukraine have taken direct damage to their economic infrastructure. Ukraine has been dismantling the Russian Wildberries e-commerce company while continuing the bombing of oil and gas refining and export. Meanwhile, Russia has bombed Ukrainian warehouses and big-box stores and intensified its attack on Odesa harbour. How will this affect either society?Meanwhile:Anthony was bombedDouble-tap attacksPutin visits occupied Japanese islandsDrone attack in GermanyProtests continue after the sacking of former Defence Minister Fedorov while Bankova refuses to communicatePolitical developments in PolandDiplomatic errors with KosovoTwitterAnthony: @BartawayUkraine Without Hype: @HypeUkraineOther Social Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://youtube.com/@UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tiktok.com/@ukrainewithouthype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://instagram.com/ukrainewithouthype/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resources and Charities⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/ukrainewithouthype

Following the sacking of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov due to his conflicts with Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukrainian civil society began daily protests across many cities. The crisis brought to the fore many grievances around corruption, the treatment of soldiers, and the old vs. new ways of doing things.Meanwhile:Munition depot hit in Kyiv suburbBlack Sea naval war heats upUkrainian oligarch assassinated in MonacoSenator Lindsay Graham passesResistance to new EU sanctionsUpdates on Ukraine-Poland history conflictTwitterAnthony: @BartawayUkraine Without Hype: @HypeUkraineOther Social Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://youtube.com/@UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tiktok.com/@ukrainewithouthype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://instagram.com/ukrainewithouthype/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resources and Charities⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/ukrainewithouthype

Ukrainian-Polish relations are in crisis following a high-level falling out over the question of historical memory of World War II and the extreme ethnic violence of the time. This began as a question of President Zelensky being stripped of Polish honors. But, it has uncovered a slate of grievances, frustrations, and power dynamics that will have to be addressed.TwitterAnthony: @BartawayUkraine Without Hype: @HypeUkraineOther Social Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://youtube.com/@UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tiktok.com/@ukrainewithouthype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://instagram.com/ukrainewithouthype/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/UkraineWithoutHype⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resources and Charities⁠https://linktr.ee/ukrainewithouthype
