Kidnapped From Ukraine and Swimming With Spies - A chat with the authors of two new novels
YouTube video by Nash Holos Ukrainian Roots Radio
www.youtube.com
Recently on Nash Holos I interviewed two authors of young adult novels set in war-torn Ukraine: 2022 Mariupol and 2014 Crimea. Both great reads but also gut-punching, even for adults. Definitely must-reads & must-shares.

Crazy history. Putin’s India visit is a symbolic replay of Russia’s historical strategy of turning vulnerable positions into diplomatic leverage. Where Alaska once served as the bridge to U.S. goodwill, India now serves as the bridge to Russia’s resilience against Trump’s tariffs &Western sanctions.

Sternenko lays out, clearly and concisely, what the stakes are and what needs to be done. As usual with cutting wit and intelligence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuhQ...

DYK? Armand Hammer was a U.S. entrepreneur who became famous for his trade with the Soviet Union in the 1920s and later as CEO of Occidental Petroleum. He also had a reputation as “Lenin’s chosen capitalist.”

Biting article by the Atlantic Council, but why has the rest of the western press been so silent on these atrocities ruzzia has been perpetrating on Ukraine? They report on ruzzia's strikes on civilians now often, but superficially. And never on Ukraine's resilience & battlefield successes. Ганьба!

The survivors used the single word “hell” when attempting to describe what they had lived through in Mariupol.

Ukraine is the only party that has upheld its end of the 1994 Budapest memorandum. Which is the short end. The UK has done its best, but the other two ... well. Yeah. The erstwhile "leader of the free world" seems content to relinquish that title to Ukraine.

Sternenko states the bald truth about the war, US "peace" negotiations, and the state of the Ukrainian army and nation. Turn on English captions if you are Ukrainian-impaired. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk02...

Just bought my tickets. I've given tons of airtime to Shokolad over the years, and heard that Gerdan is an outstanding folk ensemble. So just can't wait to see this performance!

Why do you label this account as spam @moderation.bsky.app ?? This meme is one of the most accurate ever posted on this, or any social media, platform. Are you in cahoots now with the feckless western legacy media trying to throw Ukraine under the bus?

Sternenko today with another inspiring and at times entertaining (love his sarcasm) daily address. He is now my first choice for daily update videos on the frontline situation. In Ukrainian but the English translation in the auto-generated captions is quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLk2...

Beautiful message to Ukrainian children on the occupied territories, by a Ukrainian musician (a Merited Artist of Ukraine) now living in Toronto. Just connected with this wonderful man and will be airing his music soon on Nash Holos. Meanwhile turn on captions, read and share.

I'm troubled at big pro-Ukraine influencers opining about the Alberta separatist movement in Canada. No question moscow is active in my country, with the second largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world. Agree with them or not, the separatists have genuine grievances. It's wrong to deny them agency.
