Edition No186 | 11-07-2025 - The Assassination of Ivan Voronych will send shock waves through the intelligence community in Kyiv and across Ukraine. On 10 July 2025, the heart of Kyiv turned into a crime scene. Colonel Ivan Voronych, a senior officer in Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), was shot dead in broad daylight in Holosiivskyi district.Here's the BBC’s summary: “A top official from the Security Service of Ukraine was killed in Kyiv in a suspected assassination.” Reuters confirmed the grim details: “A senior Ukrainian security officer was gunned down in a residential parking lot in Kyiv… The slain agent was a colonel in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).”----------PLASMA AND AMBULANCES APPEAL:Please write to: Director Objective Ukraine, Info@ObjectiveUkraine.comBefore we do this is a message from a dear friend in Kyiv who works with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence.

Edition No185 | 11-07-2025 - Today, an exploration of Grok’s extreme political rants, that have enraged vatniks and Z-Patriots, especially about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. For those who may live under a rock, and not know what Grok is, it’s the AI assistant on Elon Musk’s ‘X’ platform. And like its creator it seems to court controversy and have something of a split personality. Here are the juiciest viral responses, also with some speculation about the ethics of AI censorship. ----------Pour a cup of tea and prepare to delve into the madness. Grok seems to have developed quite a personality recently and has issued some shockingly bold takes on extreme politics—Russia’s war in Ukraine included. Is this an example of LLMs can go haywire, or developing a kind of political conscience? ----------PLASMA AND AMBULANCES APPEAL:Please write to: Director Objective Ukraine, Info@ObjectiveUkraine.comBefore we do this is a message from a dear friend in Kyiv who works with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence.

Known for its unfiltered and bold statements, Grok has sparked debate with its politically charged responses, particularly regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While its anti-Kremlin stance resonates with a pro-Ukraine audience, the AI has also made controversial and extremist remarks, leading to bans and regulatory probes.

DESCRIPTION: Insights from Ukrainian Perspective: Russian Propaganda, Military Strategy, and the FutureIn this episode, the host is joined by Operator Starkey, a former Ukrainian military veteran, to discuss various topics including his experiences with Russian propaganda, the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the essential role of volunteers and civic society in Ukraine's defense. The conversation covers the underestimated resilience of Ukraine, the hubris of the Russian regime, and how Russia's internal issues and mismanagement may lead to its unraveling. Starkey also addresses how systemic corruption and a culture of fear in Russia affect both its governance and military capabilities. The discussion extends to the importance of Western support for Ukraine and strategies for enhancing communication and information warfare against Russian disinformation.----------Today I’m speaking with Operator Starsky, a former Ukrainian National Guardian, blogger, and inspiration for everyone who is following the war, and supporting a Ukrainian victory.

Edition No184 | 10-07-2025 - Putin is under pressure. We are seeing a regime fraying from the inside. This episode digs deeper into three seismic trends:1. The widening cohesion cracks at the top of the Kremlin.2. A spate of mysterious 'accidents' among high-ranking officials.3. Signs of an approaching summer offensive, possibly fueled by forced mobilization—even in Russia’s major cities.The chaos in the Kremlin is accelerating so buckle up for a wild ride. Putin will fall, not necessarily when he is materially weakest, but if he stumbles and losing the will to rule. That could come from being too paranoid and taking out too many officials, and even loyalists. Or could come from making too many concessions to other officials. Let’s see how this plays out. ----------PLASMA AND AMBULANCES APPEAL:Please write to: Director Objective Ukraine, Info@ObjectiveUkraine.comBefore we do this is a message from a dear friend in Kyvi who works with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence.

We begin by thanking our supporters who make our operations and upcoming events in Kiev and Odessa possible. The discussion then delves into three major trends indicating regime cracks: elite dissatisfaction, mysterious deaths of high-ranking officials, and preparations for a large-scale military mobilization. The analysis explores the potential collapse of Putin's regime, driven by internal paranoia and forced decisions. We provide historical and contemporary examples of elite defections, mysterious deaths, and the ongoing strain caused by military and economic pressures. The episode calls for the West to take decisive action by increasing sanctions, supporting Ukraine, and leveraging Russian assets to counteract the regime while highlighting the prospective consequences of prolonged conflict.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Channel Support00:52 Putin's Regime Under Pressure01:55 Cracks in the Kremlin06:13 Mysterious Deaths Among the Elite08:46 Military Mobilization and Economic Strain10:36 Western Response and Moral Imperative13:29 Conclusion: Accelerating the Collapse----------LINKS: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/08/putins-regime-is-beginning-to-come-apart/ https://jamestown.org/program/putins-anniversaries-mark-dangerous-degradation-of-his-regime/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/22/putin-regime-will-collapse-without-warning-says-freed-gulag-dissident https://bylinetimes.com/2025/06/18/inside-the-collapse-how-putins-russia-turned-its-opponents-into-exiles/ ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------

Edition No183 | 09-07-2025 - Strelkov is back, with another warning. This time its about Russia’s Summer Offensive & Mobilization. Today we dive into the prison dispatches of Igor “Strelkov” Girkin — former commander of the Donetsk People’s Republic and now a Kremlin critic (is that the right word to use when thieves and killers fall out with each other?) and is locked away. But not for his actual crimes against innocent people, but for his perceived opposition to Putin’s regime. From his cell, he’s issued a devastating assessment of the Russian military’s performance in Ukraine and commented on the highly anticipated—but faltering—summer campaign. He’ also made recent pronouncements about the ongoing pressures on Putin, which have come into stark focus with the death of Russia’s transport minister yesterday. We’ll examine his insights, Girkin’s critique of Russian strategy and tactics, comparing them with independent reporting, and chart what it means for the war’s next phase.----------PLASMA AND AMBULANCES APPEAL:Please write to: Director Objective Ukraine, Info@ObjectiveUkraine.comBefore we do this is a message from a dear friend in Kyvi who works with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence.
