How to Actually Break Russian Propaganda: Peter Pomerantsev Shares Lessons From WW2 Euromaidan Press 2025-08-12 | Showing Russians footage of their dead soldiers backfires—it makes them MORE likely to mobilize for war. But there's a forgotten WWII British propagandist who cracked the code for breaking authoritarian minds.In this exclusive interview, Peter Pomerantsev (author of "How to Win an Information War") reveals how Sefton Delmer's "black propaganda" operations defeated Nazi Germany by appealing to Germans' "inner pig dog"—their greed, self-interest, and desire for survival—rather than their moral conscience.Ukrainian psychological operations teams have rediscovered Delmer's counterintuitive insights: telling Russians about rising crime rates works better than showing them war crimes. But Ukraine lacks the massive resources Delmer had—hundreds of staff, the world's most powerful radio transmitter, and state backing for multimedia psychological warfare.Could Delmer's playbook work against Putin? What would he target today? And why are Ukraine's Western partners failing at information warfare basics?🎯 Key Insights:🔵Why moral appeals strengthen authoritarian support🔵The psychology behind Russian supremacism and victimhood🔵How crime statistics undermine Putin's "strong hand" narrative🔵What the Kremlin actually fears (hint: it's not democracy lectures)🔵Why the Kursk operation was a missed opportunity for coordinated pressure01:45 How authoritarian propaganda works06:30 Russian supremacism research 11:25 Why facts bounce off Russians 14:20 The "inner pig dog" strategy 19:00 Teaching Germans to be bad for good 22:30 Ukraine's resource problem 28:20 The missed Kursk opportunity30:45 What the Kremlin actually fears 34:45 What Delmer would do todayRead the text version: euromaidanpress.com/2025/08/13/wwii-nazi-fighters-dirty-tactics-could-break-putin-but-the-west-wont-use-themFollow Euromaidan Press:http://www.euromaidanpress.comx.com/EuromaidanPressfacebook.com/euromaidanpress.eninstagram.com/euromaidanpressua.linkedin.com/company/euromaidanpresshttps://www.bsky.app/profile/euromaidanpress.bsky.socialhttps://www.mastodon.social/@EuromaidanPressSupport us: patreon.com/euromaidanpressbuymeacoffee.com/euromaidanpress
How Slovakia flipped toward Russia — former defense minister reveals all Euromaidan Press 2025-08-08 | Martin Sklenar, Slovakia's former Defense Minister, reveals how his NATO country flipped from strongly supporting Ukraine to pushing "peace" messaging that echoes Russian talking points. Speaking at the Globsec Forum in Prague, Sklenar shares the inside story of Slovakia's transformation under his watch.As Director for Defense and Security at Globsec, Sklenar witnessed firsthand how Russian disinformation operations work in practice. His government shut down Russian propaganda outlets — and support for Moscow's narrative immediately dropped in the polls. When politics changed and the outlets returned, so did pro-Russian sentiment.What you'll learn:🔵How Russia manipulates historical memory (1945 liberation vs 1968 invasion)🔵Why shutting down disinformation outlets created immediate polling shifts🔵How social media becomes a battlefield most people don't recognize🔵Why F-16s are flying in Ukraine despite Russian nuclear threats🔵The "false perception of peace" that prevents Europe from acting🔵How politicians like Robert Fico exploit marginal groups for electoral gainsSklenar explains Russia's hybrid warfare doctrine from General Gerasimov and warns the same pattern spreading across Central Europe as populists promise quick peace by giving Russia what it wants.Recorded at Globsec Forum 2025 by Euromaidan Press.Read the text version: euromaidanpress.com/2025/08/08/how-a-nato-country-flipped-toward-russia-according-to-its-former-defense-minister00:21 Why ceasefires help Russia win01:51 Preventing a new Minsk agreement07:30 Ukraine's rhetoric shift with Trump12:01 How Russian propaganda captured Slovakia14:39 Slovakia's polling shifts with disinformation18:39 Combating Russian disinformation22:24 Europe's false perception of peace28:35 Russian nuclear bluffs exposed32:36 Does the West benefit from this war?Follow Euromaidan Press:http://www.euromaidanpress.comx.com/EuromaidanPressfacebook.com/euromaidanpress.eninstagram.com/euromaidanpressua.linkedin.com/company/euromaidanpresshttps://www.bsky.app/profile/euromaidanpress.bsky.socialhttps://www.mastodon.social/@EuromaidanPressSupport us: patreon.com/euromaidanpressbuymeacoffee.com/euromaidanpress

With the war in the Middle East broadening, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declaring that Ukraine is at war not only with Russia but with North Korea and Iran, we talk about the West’s conduct, Israel’s defense model for Ukraine, whether Putin will press the button, and what Jerusalem can do to help Ukraine more already now.Read the text version: euromaidanpress.com/2024/11/02/the-west-must-help-israel-and-ukraine-defeat-evil-says-likuds-chairman-of-the-liberals-weitmannFollow Euromaidan Press:http://www.euromaidanpress.comhttps://x.com/EuromaidanPressfacebook.com/euromaidanpress.eninstagram.com/euromaidanpressua.linkedin.com/company/euromaidanpressSupport us: patreon.com/euromaidanpressbuymeacoffee.com/euromaidanpress
Yes, Ukraine Can Beat Russia: Ex-Defense Minister Zahorodniuk Euromaidan Press 2024-10-31 | As Russia slowly grinds forward in Ukraine and the resolve of Ukraine's Western allies to support Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's goal of a victory over Russia appears to be waning, uncertainty sets in.Is Ukraine capable of defeating Russia militarily?

Not about banning. Theologian unpacks Ukraines new anti-Russian church law Euromaidan Press 2024-08-21 | As Ukraine moves to ban Russian-affiliated religious organizations, adopting the relevant law on 20 August, all eyes are on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC MP).This once-dominant church, which still boasts the largest number of parishes in Ukraine, finds itself between a rock and a hard place.Having undertaken half-measures to sever its subordination to the Russian Orthodox Church after Russia's full-blown invasion in 2022, it found itself under increasing state pressure. Its connection to the religious institution blessing Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine became increasingly incomprehensible as Ukraine's law enforcement cracked down on clerics accused of spreading "Russian world" ideology, the Kremlin's driving force of war, and lawmakers made legislative inroads for prohibiting its activities. However, its situation remains controversial. Having found itself under, at times, undue pressure to merge with the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, created in 2019 under the aegis of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the UOC MP has unraveled a campaign among American conservatives, claiming it is a victim of religious persecution that has nothing to do with Russian aggression.Theologian Cyril Hovorun helps unravel the dynamic Ukrainian religious situation and explains how the law is not about banning the UOC MP but helping it find a way out of an impasse of its own making, how Ukraine is reliving Europe's Thirty-Years war, why the Ukrainian state is assuming the position of Leviathan, and how the Moscow-orientated church could be heading for a historical rapprochement with the Ecumenical Patriarch, although one borne out of necessity. 00:00 - Introduction: Ukraine's New Law on Religious Organizations and Its Impact on Orthodox Churches03:47 - Analyzing Ukraine's New Religious Law: Implications for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC MP)08:22 - Post-Invasion Dynamics: Changes and Challenges within the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC MP)14:01 - Breaking the Status Quo: Examining the UOC MP's Hesitation to Distance Itself from Moscow18:17 - The Ukrainian Government's Balancing Act: Navigating Church-State Relations in Times of Conflict22:40 - Orthodox Divide: Understanding the Impasse Between the UOC MP and the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU)27:34 - Mediation Efforts: The Role of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Resolving Ukraine's Orthodox Church Conflict31:44 - Theological and Cultural Challenges: Why Cutting Ties with Moscow is Difficult for the UOC MP35:34 - Charting a New Path: Potential Solutions and Future Prospects for Orthodox Unity in UkraineRead the article: euromaidanpress.com/2024/08/21/not-about-banning-theologian-unpacks-ukraines-new-anti-russian-church-lawFollow Euromaidan Press:http://www.euromaidanpress.comfacebook.com/euromaidanpress.entwitter.com/euromaidanpressinstagram.com/euromaidanpresslinkedin.com/company/euromaidanpresshttps://mastodon.social/@EuromaidanPress https://bsky.app/profile/euromaidanpress.bsky.social Support Euromaidan Press on: patreon.com/euromaidanpressbuymeacoffee.com/euromaidanpress

Ex-Russian GRU officer Salikov exposes Russias proxy Ukraine republics (English subs) Euromaidan Press 2023-12-29 | Igor Salikov was a Russian GRU officer and former Wagner PMC fighter who defected after witnessing war crimes in Ukraine. Since 2014, he participated in Russia's covert takeover of eastern Ukraine under the direction of Vladislav Surkov.In a bombshell interview with Russian human rights activist, Gulagu.net founder Vladimir Osechkin (youtu.be/GMpl2TPNqW8?si=raQapTB8_e-nU2-4), Salikov described how Surkov carefully crafted the narrative of a separatist uprising led by locals. Russian proxies like Salikov were restricted to Soviet-era equipment to mask their involvement. Salikov even witnessed how forces under Aleksandr Zakharchenko deliberately shelled Russian-held areas like Donetsk cemetery, blaming Ukraine to manufacture pretexts for escalation.Salikov realized no true "liberation" was underway - residents were pawns in a larger geopolitical scheme. Through propaganda, isolated incidents were exaggerated into fables of Ukrainian brutality used to justify further bloodshed. But on the ground, most citizens prioritized stability over external manipulation sold as "liberation."
