Silicon Bites #82 - Russia Plans 'Acts of Chaos' Across Europe to Disrupt Allied Support for Ukraine

Edition No82 | 17-01-2025 - Russia is a terrorist state. We’ve been

saying this for three years on the channel. But Russia constantly
reminds of this fact. The latest is an allegation that Russia plotted
terror attacks on airlines around the world. According to Polish PM,
Donald Tusk this bombshell news has come from US intelligence sources.
"I can only confirm that Russia planned acts of air terror, not just
against Poland but against airlines across the globe," said Tusk during a
meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

At relatively short notice, we're organising two events in Ukraine in
the last week of January. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in
August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is
even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting
of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel.

But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv,
and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are
higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available
venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make
this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to
film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will
have an impact, so please help if you can.

U.S. intelligence warned the White House that Russia was planning to
smuggle incendiary devices onto cargo planes heading to the US. This
sounds very similar to the devices apparently planted on DHL delivery
places, that are alleged to have caused two warehouse fires. According
to The New York Times report The White House, warned the Kremlin to stop
the operation. Tusk did not provide details to underpin the allegation,
but it was felt serious enough to put his reputation on the line by
stating it emphatically, in public, and in the full glare of the world’s
press, given that he was with Zelenskyy at the time. "All I can say,
and I will not go into details, but I can confirm the validity of these
fears," said Tusk.
