  • One of the few remaining podcasts tracking the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Well-researched and well-documented. If you still care about this conflict (as you should), this podcast is a good resource.

  • Ukraine the Latest

    I’m a regular listener with my retired Canadian Armed Forces father. This podcast does important work, and we all need to keep this conflict on page 1.

    We, as the western world, owe a debt of gratitude to all Ukrainians that cannot be repaid.

  • Why Never Any Ukraine Losses Figures?

    A great show and really well presented but why is it so unbalanced when it comes to reporting troop losses! We are routinely given thousands per month or per week Russian troop losses but never Ukrainian numbers! Maybe no Ukrainian soldiers are being killed or wounded!😀

Q: Are frozen Russian assets liquid or physical assets, and how are windfalls used for Ukraine?
Frozen sovereign assets (cash, bonds, securities) and private assets (yachts, real estate) have limited access, with windfall payments derived from income like interest and reinvested returns funneled to Ukraine, sourced largely through Euroclear and central bank arrangements.
