Live: Drone Revolution, Terror Bombing and the Battle Against Corruption. Guests: Olena Halushka and Lyuba Shipovich

In this compelling episode of Ukrainapodden, recorded live at The Shamrock in Oslo, we confront the harsh realities of the war in Ukraine through the insights of two leading Ukrainian voices: Olena Halushka, co-founder of the International Center for Ukrainian Victory, and Lyuba Shipovich, founder of Dignitas, a charitable foundation supporting Ukraine's drone army.

The episode delves into three critical aspects of the conflict: the drone revolution, the ongoing terror bombing of civilian infrastructure, and Ukraine's internal battle against corruption.

Olena Halushka provides a stark assessment of the current geopolitical landscape, arguing that peace remains elusive and that Russia's unpunished aggression, including the relentless bombardment of Ukrainian cities, constitutes a genocidal war. She challenges the international community's response and emphasizes the urgent need for a "coalition of victory." Olena also highlights how Ukraine's vigorous fight against internal corruption, often misunderstood externally, is in fact a crucial pillar strengthening the nation's resilience and institutions during wartime.

Lyuba Shipovich offers an unparalleled insider's view into Ukraine's groundbreaking technological warfare. She details the rapid development and deployment of a diverse range of drones and ground robots, from reconnaissance to interceptors, which are at the heart of Ukraine's drone revolution. Lyuba discusses the critical importance of localizing production of these technologies and the innovative solutions being implemented, such as civilian-trained drone interceptors and new legislation allowing private air defense initiatives. She also touches upon the broader implications for European security, urging nations like Norway to invest in their own defense and learn from Ukraine's experience, particularly through decentralization, as Russia's hybrid warfare already targets Europe.

This episode is a crucial listen for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the conflict, its impact on daily life, and the future of warfare. Don't miss their powerful insights on global security, the role of technology, and the unwavering resilience of the Ukrainian people.
