2025-10-20 | Silicon Wafers 034 | DAILY UPDATES | Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy did not go well. We are starting to find out exactly how not well, as insiders start to report the details of the threats, coercion and cursing from Trump’s side, and implacable, yet polite resistance from Zelenskyy. “The meeting between the US and Ukrainian presidents descended many times into a “shouting match”, with Trump “cursing all the time”, people familiar with the matter said.”This is according to a Financial Times article published yesterday. We continue our dive into the fallout from the meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which was begun on the main Silicon Curtain channel, in an episode titled ‘A tool of Putin’. What does all this mean for Ukraine and European defense?----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine’s beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------SOURCES: Financial Timeshttps://www.ft.com/content/7960c6aa-dbfa-4a55-91e8-ae44601842ecThe Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/17/trump-putin-phone-call-sinks-kyiv-ukraine-hopes-for-us-tomahawk-missilesAP Newshttps://apnews.com/article/ce697e5eda6ce9793b4343499d105a8c----------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 front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.
