#306 - John Sweeney on Evgeny Lebedev, Boris Johnson and Kyiv on the Ground

John Sweeney is an old school writer and reporter. He remained in the Ukrainian capital throughout the Battle of Kyiv and his latest book, Killer In The Kremlin, paints Vladimir Putin as "the monster he is". Sweeney's philosophy is: ‘I poke crocodiles, if crocodiles they be, in the eye with a stick.’ He’s helped free seven people falsely accused of killing babies, starting with Sally Clark, reported on wars, revolutions and trouble around the world, gone undercover to Zimbabwe, Chechnya, twice, and North Korea. He upset Donald Trump by asking him about his links with the mob - Trump walked out on him - and upset Vladimir Putin by asking him about Russia's role in the shooting down of MH17. But he is probably best known for shouting at the Church of Scientology. In this episode we discussed the feeling on the ground in Ukraine and the relationship between Boris Johnson and Evgeny Lebedev (owner of The Independent and the London Evening Standard). https://www.johnsweeney.co.uk/ https://byline.tv/kompromat/ https://twitter.com/johnsweeneyroar DONATE and help the channel grow - https://donorbox.org/help-me-buy-stuff PRE-ORDER MY GAMESTOP BOOK - https://wen-moon.com Buy Brexit: The Establishment Civil War - https://amzn.to/39XXVjq You can listen to the show on Spotify, Apple, and all major platforms - https://chatterpodcast.podbean.com/ Watch Us On Odysee.com - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@TheJist:4 Buy Brexit: The Establishment Civil War - https://amzn.to/39XXVjq Join My Mailing List - https://www.getrevue.co/profile/thejist Follow Me On Twitter - https://twitter.com/Give_Me_TheJist Website - https://thejist.co.uk/ Music from Just Jim – https://soundcloud.com/justjim Extract Labs CBD - https://extract-labs.pxf.io/n10JMa Canva Premium Graphics - https://partner.canva.com/b3A9X6
