Four hours of electricity and no windows. Guest: Anastasiia Vereshchynska

This episode of Ukrainapodden features an in-depth conversation with Tymofiy Mylovanov, President of the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) and former Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine. Mylovanov provides a unique and candid insight into the daily realities of living and working in wartime Kyiv, illustrating the constant challenges and the profound resilience of the Ukrainian people.

He shares details of his demanding schedule, from advisory roles to the Ukrainian government and defense tech companies, to managing the KSE amidst ongoing conflict. Mylovanov reflects on his impactful tenure as a minister, highlighting the crucial land market reform and anti-corruption efforts he spearheaded. The discussion also delves into the complex geopolitical landscape, exploring the various "camps" regarding the war's conclusion, Putin's potential motivations for negotiation, and the critical role of international support for Ukraine.

A significant portion of the conversation addresses the recent corruption scandals within Ukraine, which Mylovanov views as a painful but ultimately necessary process for strengthening democratic institutions and fostering "zero tolerance" for corruption. He also demystifies game theory, explaining how this economic concept can be applied to understand complex interactions in international politics and conflict. The episode concludes with Mylovanov's deeply personal reflections on the dual nature of human behavior—the capacity for both extreme cruelty and profound heroism—witnessed during the war.

BEKMØRK RAPPORT FRA FRONTEN: Danske Michael om Pokrovsk, ukrainsk moral og Veteran Aid Ukraine

In this urgent episode of Ukrainapodden, we speak directly with Oleksii Hodzenko (Callsign: Godzilla), spokesman for a Battalion of the 38th Marine Brigade. Recorded on December 2nd, Hodzenko delivers a chilling account from near the Myrnohrad front, which he identifies as the most dangerous direction in the war. The discussion centers on the massive Russian offensive, utilizing an estimated 150,000 soldiers, to capture Myrnohrad. 
Hodzenko confirms the crisis surrounding supply lines, noting that the situation near Pokrovsk has effectively blocked logistics. Defenders are facing severe shortages of water, food, and ammunition, while the enemy relentlessly targets the city with air bombs, trying to "completely destroy" it. He issues a fierce appeal for increased, immediate Western military aid, stating, "We need everything."
The interview concludes with a powerful, emotional refusal to consider any peace proposal that involves ceding Ukrainian land, particularly the Donetsk region, citing the immense personal cost and losses endured.
Key Discussion Points & Timestamps:
• [00:00:46] The critical role of the 38th Marine Brigade and its Unmanned Warfare Battalion in the dangerous Myrnohrad direction.
• [00:01:34] The scale of the Russian force (150,000 soldiers) targeting the Myrnohrad-Pokrovsk area.
• [00:03:00] The severe impact of the Pokrovsk situation on Myrnohrad's logistics and supply lines, making transport impossible due to FPV drones.
• [00:04:47] Describing a "very, very difficult" daily life for defenders facing shortages and relentless Russian air bombs.
• [00:09:12] Hodzenko's emotional and firm rejection of any US-backed peace plan that suggests ceding Donetsk region territory to Russia.
