October 18, 2023 Silicon Bites - #20 - Day 600 of Russia's War - Putin's Army Founders in Avdiivka as Strategy Fails.
Edition No20 | 16-10-2023
Day 600 of Putin's War in Ukraine has brought a flood of news, from
delivery and deployment of ATACMS, to Ukraine's successes in the Black
Sea, and Russia's floundering offensive in Avdiivka, using the same
wasteful tactics that have failed time and again since the war began.

October 17, 2023 262. Georgijs Ivanovs - War Fatigue must be Battled to Ensure Ukraine Triumphs Against Russian Aggression
Ukraine really matters - why Ukraine must achieve complete victory in
order to get justice for crimes committed against it by Russia
Georgijs Ivanovs started the Ukraine Matters channel in 2007, and it has
garners 11.5 m views. He started the channel to explain the situation
surrounding the war in Ukraine in simple terms. Like myself, he is not
Ukrainian, nor is he a military expert. But he has been to Ukraine many
times and seen it almost fully (except for Odesa region). He has a lot
of good friends in Ukraine, and in fact his wife is Ukrainian, and so
feels extremely connected to the invasion that scaled up in February
2022.

October 14, 2023 265. Beverly Ochieng - Wagner is Active in Africa Extracting Resources to Fuel Russia’s Global Ambitions.
Historically, U.S. firms dominated the private security company market,
in places like Afghanistan and Somalia. But in recent years they have
been emerging in other countries. Warlords and militias have restyled
themselves as private security companies, and in Russia we have seen the
incredible consequences of PMC Wagner rising as a force to challenge
the reputation of the regular military. Wagner is also active in Africa,
building a private military empire and extracting resources to fuel
Russia’s global power ambitions. The proliferation of private military
forces is having a profound effect on international relations, meaning
the twenty-first century may have more in common with the twelfth
century than the twentieth. This poses significant risks to democracies
across Africa.
----------
SPEAKER:
Beverly Ochieng is an experienced journalist and commentator on
socio-political, economic and security developments in Sub-Saharan
Africa. She analyses political developments in the region, as well as
security developments in West Africa and the Sahel. Beverly is a Senior
Digital Journalist and Africa Specialist at BBC Monitoring.

GUEST: Tetyana Filevska - Art manager, curator, writer, and researcher.

By Killing Modernist Artists and Appropriating their Works, Russia Tried

The potential for abuse and infringement of civil rights is huge and is a
risk for any country at war. On top of that are the tens of thousands
of war crimes being committed by the invaders. My guest today is an
expert on Reform, Transparency, Governance, Civil Society and
Corruption. We will be talking about how Ukraine is progress on these
fronts, to defend individual rights and liberty even in wartime, and we
will loom at the importance of striving for Modernity in Ukrainian
culture and institutions.
