Silicon Bites #113 - It's Over Comrade - Protests and Electoral Defeat Face Putin's Agent in Europe.

Edition No113 | 17-03-2025 - Massive protests have erupted in Belgrade and Budapest against the corruption and kleptocracy of incumbent governments. In Bucharest, Romania thousands gathered to declare their solidarity with Europe and Ukraine, and reject Russia attempts to interfere with and corrupt their democracy. Romania is Europe, is the sentiment on the streets, and there is anger also at the attempt of Trump and his supporters to try and enable this Russia interference and gerrymandering, under the pretext of free speech. Streets are flooding with people, in an echo of the 100+ days of protests ongoing in Georgian towns and cities. Protestors brand their national flags, as well as EU flags, and are chanting Russia be damned, and its attempts to destabilise their democratic processes and process. Orbán in Hungary was elected democratically, but his behaviour increasingly resembles that of a dictator, and his regime is seen as pro-Russian. He shut down public transportation to prevent people coming from across the nation gathering in the capital. Opposition leader Péter Magyar declared: "The spring is here. The spring of the Hungarians. And we, together will end Orban's winter!" Orbán’s regime is facing collapsing poll numbers and massive protests, but he continues to double down on actions that align with the Kremlin’s strategic interests. He has put to the EU a list of ‘demands’ and continues to frustrate and block measures to support Ukraine. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- LINKS: https://www.dw.com/en/hungarys-orban-vows-crackdown-on-media-ngos/a-71932327 https://www.politico.eu/article/viktor-orban-vows-crackdown-shadow-army-political-opponents/ https://kyivindependent.com/eu-resists-pressure-from-hungary-extends-russia-sanctions-including-those-on-mikhail-fridman/ https://apnews.com/article/hungary-orban-crackdown-media-ngo-38776560a2edf5948482dd4839461411 https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/03/15/7503069/ https://www.kyivpost.com/post/48992 ---------- SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtain https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras Our first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

Ilya Ponomarev - Putin's Regime Cannot Survive Without Conflict, So Where Will Russia's Next War Be?

Ilya Ponomarev is a Russian-Ukrainian politician who was a member of the Russian State Duma from 2007 to 2016. After the 2022 Russian invasion, Ponomarev joined Ukraine's Territorial Defence Forces, and categorically denounced the invasion. While a member of the Russian State Duma, he was the only deputy not to vote in favour of the Russian gay propaganda law and to vote against Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014. He is now in exile in Ukraine and is a spokesman with insurgent Russian forces (National Republican Army) fighting on the side of Ukraine. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtain https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras Our first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

Anders Puck Nielsen (in Kyiv) - Europe Closer to War than Peace Despite Trump's Ceasefire Initiative

GUEST: Anders Puck Nielsen - YouTuber and military analyst. Today I’m speaking with Anders Puck Nielsen, military analyst and influential YouTuber based in Denmark. He specialises in naval warfare and strategy; in today’s video we are going to be talking about the Ukrainian withdrawal from Kursk, the state of NATO and repetition of Kremlin narratives coming from the White House and Trump's inner circle. ---------- LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/@anderspuck https://twitter.com/anderspuck https://www.linkedin.com/in/anderspucknielsen/ https://apnielsen.info/en/frontpage/ ---------- CHAPTERS 00:02:00 It feels quite paradoxical to be in Kyiv just after this clash in the white House. 00:06:55 My impression is that when it comes to the war, people really stand together. 00:11:47 The strategic purpose of Kursk has been declining quite rapidly. 00:17:49 It's a mistake to assume Russia is not sophisticated in the area of drones. 00:21:17 I don't think we're anywhere close to a durable conclusion to the war. ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
