The first line of the Ukraine national anthem translates to ‘Ukraine is not dead yet’

This episode is a special about the Russian war and invasion of Ukraine. No TWISH, no Pope and no surprise as to who gets the Really Wrong award*). We do urge anyone who can to support the people of Ukraine, and provide links to some of the charities you can donate to. Topics we discuss are:

  • UKRAINE: DW Fact Check – Do any of Putin’s claims hold water?
  • INTERNATIONAL: Media giants clamp down on Russian state-own propaganda channels, RT and Sputnik
  • RUSSIA: Partial restriction on access to Facebook to Protect Russian media
  • RUSSIA: Thousands of people arrested at anti-war protests
  • CZECHIA: Chief prosecutor warns against public support for Russian aggression (what about free speech?)
  • UKRAINE: Fake videos showing Russian invasion
  • UKRAINE: Chernobyl radiation levels increase significantly after heavy fighting around the area
  • UKRAINE: Is the Ghost of Kyiv real?
  • UKRAINE: World’s heaviest aircraft confirmed destroyed
  • SPACE: Franklin Mars rover likely not a go this year due to Russia’s war
  • SPACE: UK satellite company OneWeb cancels all Russian launches after dramatic fallout with space agency
