In this compelling episode of Ukrainapodden, we're joined by Ukrainian journalist Anastasiia Lapatina, currently with Lawfare Media and formerly of The Kyiv Independent. Lapatina shares her unique perspective on the ongoing war, shedding light on critical issues often overlooked in Western discourse. She candidly discusses the challenge of Ukrainian representation, highlighting the imbalance where 'Russian opposition leaders' are often amplified, even when their statements, like Yulia Navalny's on military aid, prove problematic for Ukraine's cause. Lapatina offers invaluable advice to Western media and conference organizers: ensure equal representation, avoid joint panels that equate aggressor and victim, and delve deeper into the nuanced context of the conflict. The conversation extends to the long-term nature of the war, critiquing the West's 'strategic clarity' and its focus on theoretical 'peacekeeping' solutions without addressing the immediate realities on the front line. Lapatina also reflects on Ukraine's own historical struggles with corruption and how domestic issues have shaped its relationship with Western partners, acknowledging that Western nations have their own complex priorities. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the political turmoil surrounding Ukraine's anti-corruption bodies, NABU and SAPO. Lapatina details the controversial attempt by Zelensky's administration to undermine their independence, the swift, nationwide protests that followed, and the eventual reversal of the contentious law. This segment powerfully illustrates the unwavering commitment of Ukrainian civil society, especially its youth, to democratic principles and their 'immunity to authoritarianism.' Don't miss Lapatina's insights into her acclaimed podcast 'Escalation,' which meticulously chronicles the history of Ukraine-US relations since 1991, offering crucial context for understanding Ukraine's enduring fight for sovereignty and its path towards European integration.

Bør vi være forsiktige med å støtte Ukraina økonomisk på grunn av korrupsjonsfaren? Og hvorfor bruker ikke Ukraina F-16 til å teppebombe områder langs fronten der Russland rykker framover?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Russland fortsetter offensiven langs stort sett hele frontlinjen i Ukraina, men til en høy pris. Søndag jublet russiske milbloggere over at et nedskutt ukrainsk SU-25 angrepsfly, men var det egentlig fra Russland? Det er mye som tyder på det. Jette Christensen, statsviter, skribent, forfatter og tidligere stortingsrepresentant for Arbeiderpartiet er dagens gjest. Hun snakker om russisk påvirkning, sikkerhetspolitikk, demokratiets utvikling i verden og korrupsjonen i Ukraina.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
