For nearly a thousand days, Ukraine has resisted full-scale Russian aggression: the heroism of its armed forces and its people stand as an example to all free nations. But as the US has delivered Trump back to the White House, Ukraine and its allies face mounting strategic dangers.----------Dr Benjamin Tallis is Director of the Democratic Strategy Initiative, a Berlin-based Think Tank, set up to address the systemic competition we now see in global politics. He is also a research fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations.

Edition No60 | 07-11-2024 - This is a piece I had planned on writing as a rebuke to Biden administration, in the event of a Kamala Harris victory. Perhaps the topic becomes even more urgent now, as the US government enters a transition phase to a second Trump term of office. With the US apparently supplying only 10% of the promised and approved aid to Ukraine that was mandated in the April aid bill, we must ask, can Trump really be much worse than this? It’s a point Ukrainians have been making for some time – that delusions and weakness under the Democrats may be more dangerous than facing the stark reality of a Trump presidency.~~~~~SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras~~~~~At the start of November Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Ukraine’s allies to stop just ‘watching’ amid the threat from North Korea, and before the troops sent to Russia by Pyongyang reached the battlefields of Kursk and Donbas. The geopolitical rubbernecking continued, and little seems to have been done of any impact. No new supplies to address the significantly escalatory threat and no lifting of existing of red lines. Pathetically John Kirby announced that ‘no new red lines’ would be imposed in response to Russia’s successful attempts to drag North Korea into the war, a statement that has the deterrence power of brandishing a limp lettuce to deter a charging bull. ~~~~~SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain~~~~~NEWS SOURCES: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/02/volodymyr-zelenskyy-urges-allies-to-stop-just-watching-amid-north-korea-threathttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/ap-ukraine-russia-kyiv-vladimir-putin-b2640107.htmlhttps://euromaidanpress.com/2024/10/31/ukraine-has-received-only-10-of-latest-us-aid-package-zelenskyy-reveals/https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/zelenskyy-criticises-poland-for-failing-on-military-aid-and-defence-front/https://www.politico.eu/article/volodymyr-zelenskyy-confirms-tomahawk-missiles-victory-plan-blasts-us-for-giving-away-secrets-ukraine-white-house-russia-war-leak/~~~~~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/https://www.theatlantic.com/search/?s...~~~~~TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyslhttps://kharpp.com/Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

00:05:34 Putin started a war that got away from him. He was the dog that caught the car.
00:08:14 Putin has been able to cheaply and easily manipulate electoral cycles in the West.
00:11:13 Perception of an existential threat drove the British response in the Second World War.
00:13:11 Authoritarians no longer believe West capable of standing up against their aggression.
00:15:09 North Korean army has army of 1m plus. 5,000 a month is pocket change for them.
00:18:37 Putin knows that a lot of Americans have lost patience with the war in Ukraine.
00:21:52 Most wars are aggregation of past wars’ tactics - 90% the last war and 10% new stuff.
00:28:39 The notion a wonder weapon can change the entire trajectory of the war is a fantasy.
00:30:39 Conventional deterrence has broken down – we need to reinvest thinking about it.
00:35:57 Zelensky understands his country is at threat of being extinguished by Russia.

This is a conversation with the three esteemed authors of a paper entitled “Russian Sabotage in the Gig-Economy Era”, written by Daniela Richterova, Elena Grossfeld, Magda Long and Patrick Bury. I’m delighted to be joined by three of them today. ----------We are experiencing the most intense era of sabotage since the Second World War in Western countries. Russian operations have now reached unprecedented levels. It seems the main aim is to increase the costs of supporting Ukraine, while at the same time slowing the delivery of military supplies. Russian operations are increasingly organised around ‘gig-economy’ principles. The dangers are mounting from operations that have an element of plausible deniability, that can scale, while causing significant damage and sowing terror. ----------LINKS: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03071847.2024.2401232 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.1080/03071847.2024.2401232?needAccess=true https://news.sky.com/story/mi6-and-cia-warn-of-reckless-campaign-of-sabotage-across-europe-being-waged-by-russia-13210838https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp8e15yr1gwo----------BIOGRAPHIES: Daniela Richterova is Associate Professor in Intelligence Studies at the Department of War Studies, King’s College London.

2024-10-22 | Moscow has been using old, underinsured ships to transport oil, and is estimated their capacity has increased by 70% since last year. This is despite a recent crackdown on insurers and shipping companies that are apparently enabling Moscow to circumvent Western sanctions. ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER - A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------Shares in shipbroker Braemar fell after the Financial Times of London release a report on the Russian ‘shadow fleet’, and how it’s using ancient vessels to move oil beyond the reach of western sanctions. The ‘shadow fleet’ is estimated to consist of more than 400 vessels that are moving about 4 million barrels of oil per day. The Financial Times alleged involvement of Braemar, causing its stock to fall 11% in two days. London has long been a global centre of the maritime industry and Braemar, founded in 1982, is one of the industry’s leading brokers. Their business model is to match buyers and sellers of vessels in return for a percentage of the purchase price. It would be scandalous indeed, if they were involved in brokering to build up Russia’s shadow fleet that it props up its war economy and the war machine that is focused on the annihilation of Ukraine. Oil that Russia transports using this fleet generates billions of dollars a year in additional revenue.The FT reported that at least 25 of shadow fleet vessels had been purchased by a British accountant on behalf of Eiger Shipping DMCC, the Dubai-based shipping arm of Lukoil, Russia’s second-largest oil producer. Eiger, it is alleged, financed the acquisitions by paying in advance to charter the vessels. The accountant’s lawyers, and another person, told the FT Braemar was fully aware the vessels were being acquired for, and financed by, Eiger.----------Sources and recommended reading:https://www.ft.com/content/57b85fab-fa44-4881-b7ed-543116920fa7 https://www.ft.com/content/b9dee3f3-c2f8-4aa1-b0d9-d207f815b6e5 https://www.politico.eu/article/revealed-putins-sanctions-busting-shadow-fleet-is-spilling-oil-all-over-the-world/ https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/10/15/ukraines-foreign-minister-calls-on-europe-to-fight-russias-shadow-fleet-of-tankers/ ----------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 No59 | 21-10-2024 - Ukraine needs more weapons and seeks security guarantees, are the central points made by Zelensky in his recent visit to Berlin. Additionally, Zelensky is stressing the need to show Moscow that it can’t win the war.~~~~~SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras~~~~~With the upcoming election in the US, there is a race to get support for a concept of victory and initiate a negotiation for ending the war on favourable terms for Ukraine. But this is also happening at a time when Russian forces are making slow but steady progress along the front lines, and future support for Ukraine is in doubt.Zelenskyy presented his so-called victory plan to the Ukrainian parliament last week and aims to seek a just peace to the war with Russia thanks to military aid and guarantees from its allies. The plan consists of five main points and three secret annexes.“Ukraine's victory plan is a blueprint to strengthen our state and strengthen our positions. To be strong enough to end the war,” Zelenskyy said, adding: "If we start moving with this concrete plan of victory now, we may manage to end the war no later than next year.”The idea is to ensure Ukraine gets iron-clad security guarantees from allies and becomes well armed to prevent Russia from using any pause in the fighting to rearm and then attack again. Linked to this discussion is the urgent request to join NATO, a step that seems to be gaining some traction in the corridors of power within Brussels. But the inherent weaknesses and failures of previous initiatives such as the Minsk Accords and Budapest Memorandums hang over these initiatives like a geopolitical memento mori, a memorial to optimism and delusion. ~~~~~SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain~~~~~NEWS SOURCES: https://www.chathamhouse.org/events/all/special-event/conversation-valerii-zaluzhnyi-ukrainian-ambassador-uk https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/10/16/zelenskyy-unveils-5-point-victory-plan-to-ukrainian-parliament/https://www.politico.eu/article/volodymyr-zelenskyy-presents-his-victory-plan-to-ukraine-parliament-war-vladimir-putin/ https://www.politico.eu/article/nato-nukes-volodymyr-zelenskyy-war-ukraine-aid-russia/~~~~~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/https://www.theatlantic.com/search/?s...~~~~~TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyslhttps://kharpp.com/Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
