Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia wrap up the week, analyzing the events and rhetoric of the past days. They discuss to what degree the atrocities in Bucha were ordered by the Russian military, and to what degree they reflect a poorly organized military withdrawal. Our hosts compare Russian brutality with other genocides and discuss Russian filtration and de-Nazification rhetoric.
Giselle gives an update on munitions in Ukraine and German hesitation to act in Europe. Iulia explains the role the Russian Orthodox Church is playing in the rebuilding of Russian imperialism. Lastly, Dalibor shares the news of Slovakian munitions assistance to Ukraine and the broader European response to Russian brutality in Bucha.
