Ukrainapodden
The political landscape surrounding Ukraine is increasingly defined by pressure for quick solutions. However, as this seminar highlights, these conditions often grant Russia political gains not through military victory, but through successful disinformation. Hosted by Karen-Anna Eggen (FHS), the first panel features Brigader Eystein Kvarving and Colonel Iryna Izhutova (National Defence University of Ukraine). They analyze the «poisoning» of the information environment and why any peace deal must be «just and lasting» to prevent Russia from simply using a pause to rehearse for the next invasion. The second panel dives into the military-technical evolution of the conflict. Lieutenant Colonel Palle Ydstebø, Dr. Tom Røseth, and Colonel Vasyl Shvaliuchynskyi explore how the battlefield has become transparent. The introduction of thousands of drones has created a 30-kilometer «grey zone» where traditional maneuvers are nearly impossible. The experts also discuss the «politicization of intelligence» within the Kremlin, which directly led to the failure to warn about the Kursk operation, and the staggering 1:20 loss ratio reported in certain sectors where Russian «meat waves» meet modern Ukrainian defense. A central theme is the concept of Total Defense. Ukraine’s strength lies not only in its 100+ brigades but in the entire civilian population's ability to innovate and resist. From managing the «zoo of armament» to the urgent need for ballistic air defense, this episode offers a professional and comprehensive status report on Ukraine’s fight for survival and European security.

Ukrainapodden delves into Ukraine's relentless battle against corruption with guests Bohdana Hrytsiv from People with Cardboards and Valeriia Radchenko from the Anti-Corruption Action Center. This powerful episode explores how Ukrainian civil society stands as the crucial "first and last line of defense" for democracy and reform during wartime.This episode was recorded November 6th, before Operation Midas was known by the public. Discover why Norway and other international partners should link aid to anti-corruption preconditions, ensuring Ukraine's future economic prosperity and democratic development. The guests detail the summer's massive protests in Kyiv, where young Ukrainians bravely defended independent anti-corruption agencies like NABU and SAPO from government overreach, proving that citizen action remains potent even without elections.

What's the key to defeating Russia and achieving a lasting peace? Ukrainian MP Mykyta Poturayev joins Tormod and Anders on Ukrainapodden to discuss Russia's imperial ambitions, the chilling details of their alleged plans to invade the Baltic states, and his belief that Ukraine can never cede territory. He also warns of the insidious threat of «informational war,» designed to destroy trust and destabilize democracies, and explains why the only solution is to «Make Russia Small Again.» We discuss: Trump's Ceasefire Push: Is a deal with Putin possible, or even desirable? Russia's alleged Baltic Invasion Plans: How far will Putin go to destabilize Europe? NATO's Future: Can Europe defend itself without the United States?
