Day 336.
Today, we bring you updates from the ongoing Leopard II tank story as hopes raise of a breakthrough in deliveries of the vehicles. We hear from Foreign correspondent Colin Freeman who’s been speaking to Ukrainian activists tearing down Russian statues.
Plus, Francis Dearnley speaks to Dr Ivana Stradner – an expert on Russia’s propaganda warfare – to examine how the West can fight back against Putin’s disinformation, not just in the english-speaking world, but in Ukraine, Africa and the Balkans.

The world's gone mad about Statues now especially Russian ones yet if I am correct Ukraine doesn't ban Russian weapons, planes etc but artists Street names etc are banned. Ukrainian hypocracy gone mad
I am very happy to see the recent turn of events, and very happy to have heard The Telegraph's take on it.
It will be interesting to see, what someone like TIK, some day, will bring to light regarding who did what, and who did not; out of an interest to look into history as precise as one can get 😀
Cheers, from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Ukraine's economy is being destroyed by Russia. Germany cannot be lauded for economic help when at the same time as they are dithering with apparently important weapons deliveries that would lessen the need for the economic help in the future. German politics are wrong, insane and/or ammoral. Between this, German ex-politicians heading Putin's gas export companies and building the two Nordstreams, Eastern Europe (and Western Europe for that matter) should not trust Germany, especially in matters of security and Russia. Poland is very right to be upset.
They're all the same Russians and Ukrainians are corrupted to the 🤪 bone and we are paying for it. Wake up
Let them figh and get out of it
May Our Lady of Czestochowa be with all Ukrainians who have died, comfort all their relatives and help all who are recovering from injuries. May she, along with St Michael and all the angels, drive the demons of war from the Kremlin and Russia.
Wonder if Lavrov has discussed or even mentioned to his South African counterpart the use of nuclear training. Frightening stuff to allow these Russians into a reasonably stable South Africa
Ukraine wants to join E.U. TO get free handouts because they are broke.they are asking the west for arms money and now they are getting tanks from Germany.get ready,if it all goes wrong our representative of the people government will no doubt invite them over here.instead of inflatable dinghy’s They’ll send cruise ships with cabin and restaurant service.
Victory belongs to Russia . .
Anyone speaking here needs to say Kyiv not Kiev!!!
Yeah I've also noticed that Russian propaganda is aimed at the poor people in developing counties; they're playing "social justice warriors" for quite a while now.
To think it's only aimed at the West and/or at their own population is a bit naive at best.
ok So Germany is sending ranks us sending tsnk allies are growing a pair thats the thing to do,,,,, zelensky has tmto have it so get off if it get to do get them now,,,, there are not thst many ukraine SOLDIERS to die they may win with five soldiers but if they have to wait on tanks they may NOT and this miight be just what y are hoping,,, bc ukrsine has won this war twenty times they are dying they cant wait fir u the Leaders needsti be a fruend unstead somebidy that says one thiig does aniother
Ukraine faces off-the-scale horrors if it fails to win from Putin's Russia. If I were a Ukranian I would embrace the scouting of Russian cultural artifacts from my homeland without remorse. I would also insist upon the relentless prosecution of Ukrainian war profiteers. These are not unreasonable positions when Ukranian soldiers are sacrificing themselves every hour of every day with no end in sight.
Poland needs to cool off a bit, they always bash Germany at every chance they got, not good.
💙Slava ukraini 💛
There is not that many people on my estate that are currently identifying as Mad Rod, I thinking they all either banged up abroad or wasting away of some std from the far east!.
I remember when the victim raised her hand and said it was him number 3 Mad Rod
Think of zelininski

The host says “one of the reasons the separatists in eastern Ukraine were able ti rile people up in 2014 was because of moves to restrict Russian as a use of official language in that area by the Kyiv government”. This info requires a bit of clarification.
1. Russian has never had a status of official language in Ukraine. Never.
2. Russian language “issue” (that isn’t not official) was picked up by the Russians and it was used as one of the reasons to start a war in Donbas back to 2014.
When one day all this is over and the Ukraine War is part of history, like the Russo-Japanese War or the American Civil War, if these Podcasts have been preserved they will be an important source of information and understanding for historians.
Dr. Stradner is basically saying we should all do what NAFO is already doing XD
Proxy war between USA (sorry NATO) lol and Russia and here we were told NATO is defensive in nature. This terrible war in 2023 is going to be far worst than 2022 in more ways than one IMO. Terrible, truly terrible. Leaders across the World should be getting together for a pathway to peace rather than beating the war drums continually, as the possibility of something far worst is just around the corner
Zelensky Latest news :Zelenskyy want Japan to give Ps4 latest version "World of Tanks" for tank training .. Japan refuses ..USA involves into this matter now..more updates latter
Oh-I see -there is corruption in Ukraine.
Why is the West pouring so much treasure into such a corrupt country?
Ivana your smart woman, well educated i guess, thanx for your input to the podcast I enjoyed it
Very interesting guest Dr Ivana Stradner, thanks 👍
The Polish government ist trying its best to bring the relations to Germany down. Scholzes reluctance plays a 100% into the hands of the right wing government in Poland.
A plea for understanding for the German politics, after 11 months of war, is kinda ridiculous. Let us remember that having RUS as a key energy supplier is what enabled & created the current nightmare. It’s German responsibility to mitigate the damage and send real (offensive) weaponry. Or are they hedging for a post war deal with Putin? Given the SPD’s past & present, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Interesting thanks.
If Russian governments had ever in the past used even a scrap of their cleverness & dedication to become an actual decent nation caring for & improving life for their citizens, the world would be a better place. Instead they use all their cleverness, dedicated to venal intent around the world, impoverishing other populations, while identical to Ruzzia, enriching the lives of the leadership at the expense of citizens.
Ukrainian wokeism this is why I support the the Russians Slava Z'Baby
💪🏾 SLAVA UKRAINI 💪🏾🇺🇦🔱❤️
Russia is a propaganda but ucrane diserves it
Speak for yourself , I have lost a good friend this week over the Tanks to Ukraine issue .
Any analysis of what any Polish official says about Germany must be couched in the information that Poland is in an election cycle, and bashing Germany is an easy way to get votes.
The people do not want this war. This is the elites using common people to fight and die for their wealth. Fk Communism. Fk fascism. Fk the elites.
Please do not refer to eastern Ukraine as pro-Russian. (Minute 24). That is misleading. Yes, they speak Russian in addition to Ukrainian, may have some family in Russia, and maybe have leaned towards closer ties with Russia before this invasion. A majority of people fled to western Ukraine to escape Russian occupation. I used to live in eastern Ukraine and many people are very proud of being Ukrainian, especially now. 🇺🇦
