In our weekly segment 'Understanding Genocide' together with Gina Christian (@GinaJesseReina on Twitter) and our Co-Hosts Prince Heather and Nancy, (@Princexxxii & @ncljax on Twitter) we review and analyse the ongoing genocide in Ukraine.

During the segment we discuss the challenges of proving intent, the atrocities, the pursuit of data, detail, evidence.

Gina, Nancy, and Prince Heather discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the reluctance of many to label it as genocide. The hosts express frustration at the global community's lack of action and the normalization of violence in situations like this.

They emphasize the importance of acknowledging and addressing genocides to prevent further loss of life and uphold human dignity.

The discussion also touches on the psychological impact of war, the role of journalists in reporting genocides, and the need for continuous public awareness and pressure on governments to act.

The speakers call for more robust and consistent international responses to genocides and criticize the tendency to view certain levels of violence as acceptable.

He escaped from the world of NewsCorp, lived in Ukraine during the pandemic, and now with his Ukrainian Freedom News team works to share the truth with the world while bringing supplies to the front.

In this episode, JP, a Mriya Report's recurring VIP guest, connects us with stories of bravery, courage, and resistance from Kharkiv, a city massively attacked by russians. Yet, their spirit remains unbreakable. Join us as we listen to their human stories. Hear JP's takes on the russian aggression. The enemy not only attacks and destroys but the russian citizens also exhibits a profound lack of care.

As JP reminds us, every single one of us possesses the agency to make micro-decisions daily, showing who we are and how we behave. If we stop caring, if we think it's impossible to change things, we give our agency to evil forces to take over. Let's make sure to get inspired by the brave Ukrainian people, by people of Kharkiv.

A podcast of our regular segment Книжковий клуб - Mriya Report Book Club with @duvimom, @Adam_Rachinsky and @MriyaReport listeners. Tune in to hear their discussion of the book of the day: The Zelensky Effect by Olga Onuch & Henry E. Hale.

Robin, James, and Lexicon take us through a detailed discussion covering the evolution of Ukrainian society, politics, and the significant role of Volodymyr Zelensky from his early years through to his presidency. Emphasising the transformation from Soviet influence to a more independent and culturally Ukrainian identity, the conversation highlighted the importance of the formative years of the Independence Generation in fostering a sense of Ukrainian nationalism. This shift was marked by an increased openness to Ukrainian culture, language, and history, contrasting with the Soviet past.

The Mriya Report BookClub conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the sociopolitical landscape in Ukraine, the challenges faced by the country in asserting its independence and identity, and the pivotal role played by Zelensky in navigating these challenges.

With our special guest Jonathan Fink (Silicone Curtain @CurtainSilicon on Twitter), we navigated through the latest news coming out of Russia and an intricate web of geopolitics. Together with our insightful co-hosts Axel and Peter, we dived into the recent dismissals of Sergei Shoigu and Nikolay Patrushev from their high-ranking positions within Russia's leadership.

Dissecting the significance of these dismissals and what they mean for both Russia and Ukraine, Jonathan Fink offered invaluable insights into the complexities of international relations, Russian economy and security dynamics.

Throughout the segment, we engaged with our audience, incorporating their questions and perspectives into the conversation, trying to unravel the motives behind Putin's decision to remove two key figures from his inner circle, probing into the political, strategic, and personal factors at play.

As we peered into the future, we contemplated various scenarios that could unfold in the wake of these leadership changes, pondering the implications for Russia's domestic and foreign policies.
