@AnnafromUkraine and @ATPGeo - Putin’s Bogus Peace Ultimatum - Why Russia is not Serious about Peace

GUESTS: Anna from Ukraine - Anna Danylchuk and Jonathan MS Pearce ---------- Anna Danylchuk has been creating a war diary since the early days of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022. Anna Danylchuk aims to tell the truth about Ukraine and Russia’s war and cut through the noise and propaganda. Anna is passionate about the beauty and independence of her country, and communicates this powerfully in her videos, in a clear and honest way. Jonathan MS Pearce is a philosopher, author, columnist, and public speaker with an interest in writing about almost anything, from scepticism to science, politics, and morality, to the environment. Essentially because everything is philosophy. He is a former teacher and is now battling primary progressive multiple sclerosis. He can no longer play football with his twin boys, but he can still write a good column and book. And remarkably, and very bravely, he has just come back from an arduous journey to Ukraine’s frontlines. His experiences are the subject of today’s conversation. ---------- CHAPTERS: 00:00:41 Introduction to Anna, who vlogs daily from Ukraine 00:01:38 Introduction to Jonathan - obsessed with the war in Ukraine 00:04:04 Why experts and the media continuously get Russia wrong 00:08:31 My worry is that we are also fighting - the information war 00:11:37 No one believes Russia is the 2nd strongest army any more 00:15:16 Do people spreading Russian lies realise what they’re doing? 00:17:48 Are Ukrainians still vulnerable to Russian disinformation? 00:25:09 Putin’s peace ’plan’ demands led to poor quality reporting 00:30:39 There are suspicions Putin may be increasingly desperate 00:36:17 The Russian system is shot through by lies and distortions ---------- LINKS: @AnnafromUkraine @ATPGeo ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas UNBROKEN - Treatment.
