Oltre la cortina di fumo della propaganda russa con Andrea Braschayko. Una dettagliata ricostruzione dei fatti chiave che hanno portato e caratterizzato gli eventi da Maidan all invasione Russa del 24 Febbraio 2022.

In a week which has seen more attacks on Ukraine's cultural heritage, we hear from Andrii who relates his passion for his country's history. Ukraine's long established connections to and influence on European culture - from the 'High Middle Ages' period of its foundation to being the country which inspired some of the most famous European artists, composers and writers of the 19th century, to the present day - are discussed.
Our military topics this week challenge Ukraine's allies into evaluating the critique seen from some quarters of the Ukrainian military about their command. Observable combined arms tactics are also assessed, in a realistic view of the challenges facing Ukraine's soldiers, the sacrifices being made by them - and how their western allies can offer more effective support.
