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.
https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras
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.

January 18, 2025 Silicon Bites #83 - Trump Holds the Key to Putin's Defeat - But will he Use this Power for Victory?
Edition No83 | 18-01-2025 - This is an update of an episode I put out
while the US election was still in full swing. Now, the Trump team are
having to tackle the issue of Russia, its interference with and sabotage
against Western powers, and its imperial war in Ukraine, there is far
more nuance and realism in the pronouncement and comments coming from
key figures. It seems timely to put out a revised episode based on ideas
for the incoming Trump team, about how they could win in Ukraine.

January 17, 2025 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.

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.

January 15, 2025 Silicon Bites #81 - Ukrainian Drones Pound Russian Infrastructure on a Totally Unprecedented Scale
Edition No81 | 15-01-2025 - Ukraine has steadily been increasing its
strikes against targets deep within Russia since the conclusion of the
US election. But before we get into the details of the latest strikes
over the weekend, let’s review how this started last week with the huge,
'multi-day’ targeting of Russia's Engels airbase infrastructure.
----------
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

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

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

Ukraine has targeted Russia's Engels airbase and associated
infrastructure in 'multi-day, comprehensive operation'. This was
reported by Kyiv's 14th Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Regiment reported on
Jan. 14. This unit is part of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces; they
claimed the attacks were intended to "reduce the enemy's strategic
aviation capabilities".
It’s also been reported, and footage on social media seems to attest to
this, that they struck aviation fuel tanks at the Kristal oil plant used
to supply Russian long-range bomber aircraft.
"We are doing our best to ensure that Engels fire crews, who have just
put out the flames after the previous attack, are not left without work
in the face of the increasingly difficult economic situation in Russia."
The Ukrainian unit is quoted as saying.
The attack had also seemed to have targeted ammunition warehouses at the
airbase which store cruise missiles and glide bombs. Several explosions
were heard in the area, according to local reports from Russian
Telegram channels.

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.
