   Putin’s War on the 2024 Olympics with Roman Sheremeta

   Putin’s War on the 2024 Olympics with Roman Sheremeta The Olympic Games are an important moment for the world. Millions of fans watch as the best and brightest athletes from countries around the world come together to compete against each other, with the ultimate goal of cultivating excellence, respect and friendship through sport. So the question arrises, what do you do when warlike aggressor countries actively involved in wars of conquest seek to participate in a world event based on peaceful interaction between nations? When Ukrainian cities and towns are being leveled in the name of the Russian Federation, and tens of thousands are falling in the largest war in Europe since World War Two, how do we uphold the Olympic spirit and its values which have been a defining part of peaceful global relations. On this episode of Ukraine Story Podcast we look at these questions as we speak with Professor Roman Sheremeta, an internationally known speaker, chairman of the Ukrainian American House, and the founding rector of the American University Kyiv.

   Space, Russia, and Ukraine Part 2: NASA Astronaut and F-16 Fighter Pilot Terry Virts

   Space, Russia, and Ukraine Part 2: NASA Astronaut and F-16 Fighter Pilot Terry Virts Despite support from the United States, the present presidential Administration has made aid conditional on Ukraine’s agreement to limit engagement of the enemy and have been reluctant to send specific tools necessary for a victory over Russia. In this episode of Ukraine Story Podcast we sit with NASA astronaut and F-16 pilot Terry Virts for a discussion on the tools necessary for Ukraine to establish air dominance and ground superiority preliminary to a military victory. We also break down the various political perspectives which shape the debate on Ukraine in the United States Congress. Colonel Terry Virts is an American hero. With a decade as an American F-16 pilot and trainer, and eight months in outer space on the International Space Station (I.S.S.), he brings a unique perspective on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He is also the only American to watch Vladimir Putin bomb Ukrainians from 145 miles in outer space. He is a ferocious defender of liberty and the cause of Freedom in Ukraine. Having studied Russian in Moscow and served beside cosmonauts, he understands the Russian mentality of disregard for the innocent in the name of global conquest. We sat down with Terry for the latest edition of the Ukraine Story Podcast. “I’d rather stop this authoritarian march in its tracks right now for a small fraction of our defense budget rather than having to fight them with American soldiers 5 -10 years down the road. It is that stark of a choice. We either win in Ukraine or we try to win in Taiwan, or Finland, or Estonia or somewhere else. That’s the message… If Ukraine wins, it will be the last battle of world war three, if they lose, it will be the first.” - Terry Virts Terry Virts on Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-virts-146a5939/) Follow Ukraine Story YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpJFp4urYOtcfBt-wA4MX1A) Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/company/91390337/admin/feed/posts/) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ukraine.story.official/) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091657095530) Twitter / X (https://twitter.com/UkraineStory) Read reports and updates from the Ukraine Story blog (https://www.ukrainestory.org/ukrainestoryreports)

   2nd Anniversary of Putin's Full-Scale Invasion of Ukraine: Joe Lindsley live from Kharkiv, Ukraine

   Today is the second anniversary of the full scale invasion of Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin began a campaign of terror in an unjustified war against a sovereign nation which would result in millions fleeing for their lives, horrific war crimes against civilians including mass executions, rapes, tortures and kidnappings, and the demolition of entire cities with billions in damage to the national infrastructure. One American journalist has been on the ground reporting from Ukraine every day since the war began - Joe Lindsley of Ukrainian Freedom News. He joined us on the anniversary episode of the Ukraine Story Podcast to discuss what we have learned about Ukraine, Russia, Europe and America after two years of bloody war.

   The Persecution of Ukrainian Protestants and Orthodox by Russia: Steven Moore live from Ukraine

   When Russians invaded Ukraine in 2022, Orthodox and Protestant Christians outside the Moscow Patriarchate were targeted for torture and murder. In the 17% of Ukraine currently occupied by Russia, more than 500 Baptist churches have been shut down and Evangelical pastors have been tortured. Orthodox priests outside the KGB/FSB controlled Moscow Patriarchate have been declared anathema and subject to torture and execution. Ukraine Story interviews Steven Moore in Kyiv, founder of the Ukraine Freedom Project. Steven and his team have been on the ground bringing support to victims of Russian aggression and documenting the persecution of Christians by Russia. His website RussiaTorturesChristians.org (https://russiatortureschristians.org (https://russiatortureschristians.org)) is a wealth of testimonials. If you have been spoon-fed Kremlin propaganda about Kyiv persecuting Christians, you need to take some time to listen to this broadcast. Steven also offers a behind the scenes look at the battle on Capitol Hill over Ukraine, the importance of overcoming Russian propaganda in the West, and the vital importance of America staying true to our legacy of opposition to Soviet-style imperialism.

   Twilight in the Field of Mars, live from Lviv, Ukraine

   Twilight in the Field of Mars Each night at the setting of the sun, you can witness a sacred pilgrimage of mothers making their way through a field of flowing flags and fresh cut flowers to carefully manicured headstones bearing pictures of their sons. They are deeply sober, heartbroken, proud, defiant. They are not alone. Young widows arrive. They are 21, 22, some as old as 24, and often with a young child walking beside them. They light candles, care for the plots of their sons or husband, and sit quietly staring at the beautiful faces they will never see on this side of Heaven. They share a common experience - recent loss by a known foe. These graves are fresh. Each one placed after February 24, 2022, the day that Russians invaded the nation of Ukraine. The documentary team from Ukraine Story traveled to The Field of Mars in Lviv, Ukraine and sat down with mourners to hear their stories.
