WGN RADIO DAILY UKRAINE REPORT
War Day 709: Who's Cheating Who? Who's Being True?
🇺🇦 Every Day Until Victory on Chicago’s WGN Radio: Joe Lindsley reports every single weekday 10 minutes from Ukraine 🎙️ from Friday 1 February 2024
KYIV—After several weeks in the brave and frequently-attacked city of Kharkiv, I traveled to the Ukrainian capital amid a swirl of rumors about Zelenskiy the president and Zaluzhnyi the commander-in-chief. Here's what we know and what we don't know. One thing that is clear: Ukrainians nearly universally adore Zaluzhnyi and are angry at the possibility he might be dismissed …
Meanwhile, as Ukraine's top general Zaluzhnyi notes in a CNN op-ed, Ukrainians continues to use ingenuity in an effort to outwit the sheer manpower of Russia.

SILICON CURTAIN PODCAST
Politicians on Left and Right are Both Avoiding Issue of how to Achieve a Victory.
First in a new series of monthly conversations on Silicon Curtain, about how Ukrainians are redefining the ideas of freedom and democracy, and why Ukraine must not be allowed to fall under Russian control. Politicians across the political spectrum are not taking the threat to the international order seriously enough. The war in Ukraine, despite it scale and intensity is still being classed as a regional conflict between neighbouring countries, not as a global struggle for values and power.
We are in a dangerous place, where politicians see freedom as a political football, as a commodity and a weapon to be traded and weided. The concept of freedom is being used to grow pivilege and wealth of the few, rather than the many, and to diminish, rather than multiple the sum total of freedom in the world. Politicians are 'freedom signalling', but not taking actions that enhance and expand freedom.

The third year of Russian aggression against Ukraine is fast approaching, as is the 10th anniversary of the illegal annexation of Crimea by the Putler state. Ukraine's front lines, frozen by the unrelenting eastern frost, are still seething with brutal activity, while in Western salons decision-makers are "changing their strategy" regarding helping the attacked nation. Our friend Joe Lindsley talks to us today from the site where a Russian ballistic missile impacted - near his apartment in the residential district of the city of Kharkiv.
