- GUESTS: Anna from Ukraine - Anna Danylchuk and Jonathan MS Pearce
----------
Anna Danylchuk has been creating a war diary since the early days of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022. Anna Danylchuk aims to tell the truth about Ukraine and Russia’s war and cut through the noise and propaganda. Anna is passionate about the beauty and independence of her country, and communicates this powerfully in her videos, in a clear and honest way.
Jonathan MS Pearce is a philosopher, author, columnist, and public speaker with an interest in writing about almost anything, from scepticism to science, politics, and morality, to the environment. Essentially because everything is philosophy. He is a former teacher and is now battling primary progressive multiple sclerosis. He can no longer play football with his twin boys, but he can still write a good column and book. And remarkably, and very bravely, he has just come back from an arduous journey to Ukraine’s frontlines. His experiences are the subject of today’s conversation.

👍👍👍🍿🍿🍿
Democracy is hard to maintain and requires the citizenry to participate. Russian people left in the federation do not seem willing to make the effort. Sadly, they will be forever slaves until they find a collective energy to govern themselves as a free people. So much pride, so little strength, like bullies often are..
“Such is the Russian man: strong is his passion for knowing someone at least one rank above himself, and a nodding acquaintance with a count or prince is better to him than any close relations with friends.”
― Nikolai Gogol
Anna is so smart and articulate. I could listen to her all day.
Western media is weak,ignorant and VERY easy to influence upon with desinformation etc..thanks God not all are like that .have much respect for Ukraine and im impressed what they done/doing.stay strong and united Ukraine!.NEVER GIVE UP!Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💯🇸🇪👍

Слава Україні героям слава перемога за Україну ❤❤
Thank you, Jonathan. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Three very intelligent people sharing their knowledge and insight into what is going on. I stand in awe. (Elsche the Netherlands).
15 minutes in and thoroughly captivated. Excellent stuff as ever.
👍👍👍
Fantastic conversation between you three. Thank you 😊 and Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦
Slava Ukraini 💪💪🇺🇦💪💪💙💛💙💛🇨🇦 hi all! Nice to see the network getting larger!
agreed!!!!!!!!!!!
Fascinating discussion, really ! Thank you so much Dear Anna and Jonathans. Greetings from France ! 💙🌻
💙💛💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻glory to the whole of Ukraine 🇬🇧
Great podcast , thank you!!!
Ukraine, Gaza, Yemen-based Houthis, South China Sea, Wagner Group in Africa, Belarus, Georgia, so many conflicts involve russian aggression on some level.
Russian agression??? I think you may have forgotten what has been happening (aggression and chaos) in the first 20 years of the 21st century
An excellent psychogram of the Russian mentality and its historical roots
Yes, we need to all fight for our freedom and our democracies like Ukraine does everyday!!!
Some of the most insidious, nuanced 'soft' Russian propaganda seems to be coming through journals such as The Spectator, the New York Times and Foreign Affairs
It's coming straight from UK and US politicians as well. Trump was telling lies and attacking Ukraine and NATO again saying NATO provoked Russia. That is straight Russian propaganda and not one main stream media is wiling to call out Trump for parroting it.
Great to see Anna and Jonathan back. Jonathan Pearce's comment about Russian disinformation was very pertinent today after listening to Nigel Farage's disgraceful repetition of Putin's excuse for the invasion of Ukraine.
if you had kept an eye on the geo politics of the region since the end of the Soviet Union, you would have to agree with Farage. It is not disgraceful, since the fact is that NATO has expanded over the past 30 years pretty much up to the Russian Federation's doorstep. It is more disgraceful allowing a hostile military alliance to expand.
@@RodrickLionheartPerhaps you might ask yourself why Russia's neighbours were so eager to join NATO. NATO was never an existential threat to Russia. The only threat NATO ever posed to Putin were to his imperial ambitions. No, I'm not surprised that Farage is repeating Kremlin propaganda almost word, and no, I don't have to agree with him. If you had kept an eye on Putin's statements for the last 30 years you would have realised that Putin's project regarding Ukraine would have happened regardless of NATO "expansionism".
@@terryhand ok, first of all what are these 'imperial ambitions' that you mentioned? secondly, what statements regarding Ukraine do you refer to during the past 30 years?
Not much in the modern world is simple good versus evil but I really feel this when I hear Ukrainians and their simple love for their homeland and compare it to the duplicitous way Putin supporters talk
SLAVA UKRAINI ❤❤❤
Dobroho dnya Jonathanx2 and Anna. Thank you for the conversation, always.
Our pleasure!
U guys. I love what U do 4 Ukraine. 4 justice & laws, & 4 standing with the opressed. Ukraine must be supported 2 win (❤ U all)

👍👍👍
Loving seeing you all together. A wish come true. Thanks so very much.
Thank you, Jonathans & Anna.
Glory to Ukraine. From Indonesia.
Thank you Jonathan, Anna and Jonathan, for this conversation. Imo, Moscow's culture of lies, arrogance and theft is so disturbing, it must come to an end' Slava Ukraini, Free AZOV, Return the Children. Crimea is Ukraine and VPDFO.
👏🇵🇹🇺🇦
Thank you for this meeting, Jonathan! Anna and J.P. are two of my hero reporters. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 Victory for Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦
Putin and Trump should be sent to Guantanamo Bay and given peace for the rest if their lives, together as cellmates.
That TDS is no doubt a thing , if not treated , irreversible damage occurs .
Add Adolf Nethanyahu as well.
@@TheBezaleel You comparing Ukraine to Hamas?
Trump winning might actually be the best thing to end this conflict. Ukraine will have to negotiate an end to the war and they’ll get their bad guy to sell to their people that they had no other choice . The west will shift its focus toward Asia, which is really going to happen regardless. Europe just isn’t that important anymore strategically. The only difference is if the status quo continues. This war is going to drag on for many more years. Ukraine will lose more territory and most likely be destroyed as a state . They won’t lose everything but they’ll lose their ability to function like a proper country and they’ll just be left a rump state. Which outcome sounds better ?
Excellent show, as usual. Thanks to all!
👍👍👍
Legends united! 🥂✨🇺🇦
Powerful collaboration👏
Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How spirited! I love it!
Top Top Top 👍🤘🙏💪
The multi-guest format is definitely something you should revisit. Thanks to all of you for a an informative discussion.
👍👍👍
Excellent interview. I could literally listen to Anna for hours. Slava Ukraine!
I think the Russian people truly believe their greatness of the "Motherland." They cannot fathom the old soviet block not wanting to be "great" again. This idea comes from my many Russian friends in the US. They have started to wake , but before they all talked about their glorious Russia.
I think that you will find that the 'greatness of the motherland', is not much different to those loving their country, culture and history et UK, France, US etc...... unfortunately, this has been mis interpreted as some kind of expansionism. The Russians has been there, done it, seen it, got the t-shirt, they are non longer in the empire business (although there are those in the Duma, who are, but not Putin).
Ukriane will prevail 💙💛
....well they are taking their time
What a trio!
Slava Heroyam!
🙏👍👏🇺🇦💪
I was sceptical about the format, but this was a fascinating discussion, no doubt due to the quality of the guests. Thank you! The duplicity of the "anti-imperialists" (many of which are South American or Arab with a deep-seated hatred of the West) saddens me to no end.
👍👍👍
Fantastic conversation! Thanks
👍👍👍
😁✊🇺🇦
Great job everyone. The world is with Ukraine.
Thank you to the Jonathan's and Anna from Australia, for such enlightening and coherent insights. How refreshingly different from the delusional and incoherent psychobabble emanating from the likes of Trump and Putin. Slava Ukraini!!!!!
ATPGeo and Anna from Ukraine in one video? I didn’t even know they were in the same cinematic universe.
🤣 but it worked well?!
Oh, yeah.
excellent conversation!
Great conversation, thanks
@Silicon Curtain...WOW, your shirt on this vlog looks great, btw!
👍👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Great collaboration. Thanks to Anna and the Jonathans. ❤😎
👍👍👍
Peace be unto you, Anna.
Heroyam slava 💛💙🙌🏻✊🏻🇺🇦🇦🇺
Loved every word.
John and Anna really creat a brilliant picture from two individual perspectives.
Thanks Jonathan Jonathan and Anna really appreciate this excellent discussion 💙💛 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
June 20th, 2024, read in Putler's Personal diary:
(Day 849 of the 3-days "Special Military Operation"):
- It's all good. I went down to NK (no planes malfunction - tks to my last 50 trusted Engineers), grooving with my buddy "kim" downtown Pyongyang in a German-made Mercedes LIMO!
- That's right! A German LIMO! Pal, I swear, ain't no Lada I'll tell ya! We could even stand UP! The both of us! And God knows that lil kim ain't so little wide-wise!
-Standing up with no cope-cage! It felt... "liberating"!
-All day, we did groove 'n cruise and I guarantee ya, even a few Western media were "D-enough" to publish our insta picks in that (other German-made ) car! ! Just like we were Jay-Low and what's his name? That famous guy who does not look russian enough?
But I digress... Still on today June 20th...
- We signed a military pamphlet directly threatening South Korea... !! Can you believe it!?
- We did! Against South Korea! One of the biggest and most modern military equipment manufacturers in the World! Ain't making this up!
- The idea is for NK to help me (ru) threaten Ukraine...
June 21st:
- I got home safely. Now checking my troll army if they have shared and liked my pics
June 22nd 2025:
Oh well. It's been a year now. I miss these fond memories with kim.
wonderful discussion on use of language and narrative control or influence by top level people. Should be compulsory for all our modern dumb 'press' who know nothing of critical thinking and knowing how to read back 3-4 steps between the lines of the bull espoused by putrids propaganda machinery. I will listen again with full concentration as I would any top grade professor.
putin surrounding himself with 'yes' men providing him with unverified information reminds me of that funny scene in the first series of Blackadder, in which Brian Blessed played King Richard IV. In the scene, Richard is angry and preparing for war, when a messenger arrives at court and says: "bad news your majesty, the arch bishop is dead." Richard fumes in anger and says: "I like not this news, bring me some better news." To which the messenger leaves the room then comes straight back in and says: "good news your majesty, the arch bishop is not dead." To this, Richard says "excellent, some good news." And this is the joke. Whilst this was a funny scene, it's not funny to think that a nuclear country is being run like this in real life.
Putin should learn from the classics.

It is just a scratch Month Python
But unfortunally you are right.
I am surprised that "vranyo" is not a more widely known and understood term, considering its importance.....
Thank you, Anna, Jonathan, and Jonathan MS Pearce, for a very good discussion. Looking forward to your next conversation.
🇺🇦 Перемоги і миру всім українцям! 🇺🇦
I saw an intro to a game with the message that russia is way more powerful militarily than America. If you see that intro over and over time if you enjoy the game that intro will get into your unconscious and may at some future date influence how you view russia and America and your beliefs and level of fear. Especially iif that message is reinforced by several different sources as russia threatening to nuke America or Europe or putin claiming that russia is stronger than America or Ukraine and can not win WW3 or war in Ukraine. These games are targeted at young people with little sense of history or life experience.
I learned some Ukrainian today: Ukrayina peremozhe 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Slava Ukraini ✌️🇺🇦💙💛 Heroyam Slava

Yes words matter! Our lawmakers, legislators in the USA in Congress have had Bills so many times they have to go back to the drawing table to correct the language before it is passed. It takes longer but they have to get it right.
Very thought provoking. Thank you Anna and Jonathans.
I check my news by looking at several sources. This helps a little. We cannot assume that we are getting the truth in this day of rampant media and AI. Checking news from various countries also helps me get a wider view of recent events.

Thank you for today’s discussion. Excellent vyshyvanka Jonathan!!!
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦💙🌞🌾🌾🌾🌻
Jesus Christ... I just came from Artur and Anna, continuing now with SiCu and seeing that Mark Reicher also has something in the queue. Before I had dinner with my Ukrainian friends who cooked for me. Everybody who knows what Ukrainian cooking means, knows how I feel now! What a BlueYellow day. Now let's press the like and play button.
Hi, me again...just wanted to say I wish I could give this video 10 000 thumbs up!!
Sooo important and interesting!❤
I'll just throw in a few extra thumbs up right here 👇
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Putin lies about everything!😂
Thanks for the update and views 🇺🇲🇺🇦
Oklahoma USA 🇺🇦🇺🇲
This is an extremely important and accurate channel for understanding the true nature of russia ! And it’s absolutely clear that russia has excluded itself from the civilized world by its own actions! 🇺🇦✌️
💯👍👍
Excellent format and excellent discussion.
1:00 Exactly:Russia has PTSD
Julia Ioffe had this same discussion with a a Cheque Person on a vlog cast. After the Soviet collapse many eastern European peoples went and did counseling but the Russians have never done so!
Jonathan......it would be very cool if you manged to get Julia Ioffe on one of your Vlog casts......Please :)
Anna's jungle comment was perfect. My response expanding on it, was deleted. 🤬Suffice to say it's applicable not just to exercising democracy, but to winning it. On top, RU people are facing 21st century weaponry with nothing, not even the limited media and parliamentary constraints which Ukraine had in the Maidan.
This was great conversation! Always greatly appreciate Ana's perspective and it really shows Ukraine is a speeate country from Russia culturally, politicaly and historically. As an American I would offer my persective we see the current war as Ukraine war of independence simulator like our revolutionary war. Which is why the Majority of Americans will always support Ukraine! Slava Ukraine!!!
...except that those living in the east and south of the country are culturally Russian, The two regions in the Dombas wanted the autonomous region status with Ukraine just like Crimea, but the newly install government launched an 'anti-terror' campagne against them. So it is more like when the Union states started the war against the Confederate states in the 1860s, the south wanted to cede from the union and north did not want that to happen
@@RodrickLionheart check your history the Confederacy fired the first shots of the Civil war.
@@johnscripture9306 ....and what the reason for those first shots? didn't the south want to cede from the union?
Pearce at ~9:00. I think it's perfectly appropriate to use the term "literally" here. Less immediate mortal danger, but you guys are warriors too. Pearce is exactly correct, of course. It's all of a piece. Don't y'all undervalue yourselves! 💛💛💙💙
🙏 🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱= ANNA - THANKS FOR STANDING YOUR GROUND= PEARLS LOOK GREAT= A PEARL CAN ONLY MADE BECAUSE OF AN IRRITANT 🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🙏
Real nice combo.
Love the Overnight of ATP Geopolitics. Yet surprised not more subscribers. 🇺🇦✌🇺🇦👋🇧🇪🇰🇷

Sorry to draw ye attention.
Regarding Kim Putin bromance.
Ukraine News TV (Juzzie) day 847
at the end the last meme.
The French say: PUTaIN
Today I've watched three different videos about conquerers and their written 'accounts' about the indigenous people they have conquered. In all of these cases the indigenous peoples didn't have a written language and therefore couldn't offer their own written accounts of what happened. Written history has always had this failing. The accepted version is the one written by the victors. I think it's fair to assume that even in ancient times propaganda was prevalent as a tool to manipulate public opinion and perception. Those who create accounts oral, written or visual are also victims of their own perception. They may actually believe that their account is true or intentionally manipulate it to further their own ambitions , either personal or political. This still happens today even in democratic societies but we at least have an opportunity to research information to at least get nearer to the truth and we can counter false claims and accusations. In Russia and other autocracies the truth is not required or even found to be important. They write the narrative to support the message they want to be heard, true or not. Russia's account of the history of the 'Great Patriotic War' (WWII) is completely different to other accounts of the same incident. They even redact their own history to make it compliant with the current message. For them information is just the means to an end and the means always justifies the end.
Jonathan looks very good in that Vyshyvanka.
And Europe people keep having a holiday and trying to impress their neighbours with a lavish lifestyle and oooh
Thank you guys for a stimulating conversation, it was wonderful.
I like your content, but still, I do not understand why you are transmitting in such a poor video quality.
Great collaboration Jonathan, really enjoyed the new format.
👍👍👍
36:17 The most amazing insight, Anna might have shed light on Russian thinking more succinctly then anyone else to date.
Anna's gone full silicon curtain with the blurred background😂 Slava Ukraina!
The British ITV is seemingly bias, not serious news, but their sound bites reach many, unfortunately.
Jonathan can't fight but he can the way is now he's fighting the Russians without even thinking about it
Very good, thank you ❤
Uk needs to wake up and stop Nigel Farage. Farage suggested the West "provoked" Russia's invasion of Ukraine by expanding the European Union and Nato military alliance eastwards.
I considered you all as freedom fighters. Keep up the amazing work. Slava Ukraine
The provocation wasn't the joining of the EU, but rather the continued NATO expansion that has taken place over the past 30 years. NATO should have gone the same way as the Warsaw Pact, straight to the dustbin of history.
You should recall and appreciate that all those countries asked to be admitted into Nato.
Why is that, do you suppose? Maybe tired of the endless BS, and aggression?
@@GarrFagen so what was the reason for the first round of Nato expansion then in 1995?
Fantastic! Three such thoughtful people in an insightful conversation!
Many of your versions of history contains Kremlins propaganda. I have noticed it when listening to people from western parts of Europe, like your kings and queens probably adapted it to score points with the Russian Empire... All I can say: There is a reason why our folk lore talk about darkness, there is a reason why someone that took inspiration from our stories writes about a darkness growing in the east. There is a reason why our poet 100 years ago wrote to Ukraine not to be a slave and that the tribes of Russia needs to rise up against the dark night of the tsar. Like now you hear the same darkness thing from Ukraine...
This is why I have even said "Hitler was a teddy bear compared to the Kremlin".
Also said "the allies made a deal with the devil"... Like you need to forget everything you ever learned about Russia and open your eyes.
Hello #Anna!!!
Great stuff. Anna is always at her best in these discussions, I find
I watched an excellent video last night put out by Perun about all of the corruption in the Russian military extension that it degraded Exponentially.
Ukraine needs to demand large swaths of Russia proper and state that yhey re-uniting KyevenRuss.
THANK YOU JOHNATHANS 🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱
