    Luftvernmangel: Tømmer Midtøsten verden for luftvern?

    I denne episoden av Ukrainapodden, spilt inn mandag, dykker vi ned i den høyintensive luftkrigen som nå utspiller seg i Midtøsten, og ser på hvilke konsekvenser dette har for situasjonen i Ukraina. Vi har med oss førsteamanuensis ved Luftkrigsskolen, Lars Peder Haga, for å analysere den teknologiske og strategiske utviklingen i lufta. Hovedtemaet for samtalen er det massive iranske missilangrepet og den imponerende statistikken fra luftforsvaret i regionen, som melder om en nedskytingsrate på over 90 % for ballistiske missiler. Haga forklarer fysikken bak disse våpnene og hvorfor de er så krevende å stoppe. Vi diskuterer også den kritiske mangelen på luftvernmissiler globalt. Når hundrevis av Patriot-missiler brukes i Midtøsten, hva betyr det for Ukrainas evne til å beskytte sine byer mot russiske angrep? Ukraina har blitt verdensledende på å bekjempe Shahed-droner, og vi ser nå på hvordan ukrainsk ekspertise kan bli en eksportvare til Golflandene. Haga beskriver Ukrainas innovative bruk av «avskjæringsdroner» – en kostnadseffektiv metode for å spare dyre missiler. Vi trekker også linjer til Russlands rolle; har de lyktes med å flytte produksjonen av iranske droner til eget territorium, og vil bombingen av Iran i det hele tatt påvirke Putins krigsmaskin? Til slutt ser vi på den fundamentale forskjellen mellom den gjensidige «luftnektelsen» i Ukraina og det totale luftherredømmet USA og Israel utøver i Midtøsten. Hvorfor har ikke det russiske flyvåpenet klart å kopiere denne suksessen etter fire år med krig? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Petro Koshukov (Khartiia Corps): Exposing Russian Lies, Ukraines success in Kharkiv and 12 Years of War

    Four years ago today, the world changed as Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In this episode of Ukrainapodden, we are joined by Petro Koshukov, International Cooperation Officer for the 13th Brigade «Khartiia» of the National Guard. Petro’s journey embodies the Ukrainian spirit of «horizontal mobilization»—from a civilian career in international development to conducting tactical reconnaissance with Special Operations Forces, and now bridging the gap between frontline combat and strategic reform. We dive deep into the current state of the war, focusing on the «Khartiia» Brigade's unique history. Originally a volunteer group from Kharkiv, it has evolved into a leading corps that integrates civilian management practices and business efficiency into the military. Petro explains why this human-centric approach and «bottom-up» reform are critical for survival on a «transparent battlefield» where FPV drones and advanced surveillance have made traditional maneuvers impossible. The discussion also addresses the strategic situation in Kupiansk, the limitations of Starlink in modern warfare, and the specific goals of the Ukrainian military delegation’s visit to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Petro highlights the need for faster decision-making and better «lessons learned» loops between Western industries and Ukrainian soldiers. Finally, Petro shares a moving reflection on his father’s home, Crimea, and his dream of returning there as a liberator.

    Slik endrer Trump det geopolitiske kartet. Gjest: Iver B. Neumann

    I denne episoden av Ukrainapodden intervjues Iver B. Neumann, direktør ved Fridtjof Nansens Institutt, om den geopolitiske situasjonen fire år etter Russlands fullskala invasjon. Neumann analyserer de pågående fredsforhandlingene i Sveits og påpeker at Russland sjelden gir etter før alt er avklart, noe som gjør raske gjennombrudd usannsynlig.   Lenker:  https://www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/limits-russian-power https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2026/feb/13/these-charts-show-how-trump-is-isolating-the-us-on-the-world-stage   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Ukrainsk motoffensiv (?), russisk blackout og skandale i OL

    Er en ny ukrainsk storoffensiv i gang, eller er det bare «krigståke» og ønsketenkning? I dagens episode av Ukrainapodden ser vi nærmere på rapportene som strømmer ut fra frontlinjen ved Huliaipole og Verbove. Programleder Tormod Malvin Sæther og Jørn Sund-Henriksen analyserer de sprikende kartene. Mens russiske militærbloggere melder om opptil 16–17 kilometer ukrainsk fremrykking og bruk av M1 Abrams-stridsvogner, forholder Kyiv seg helt tause. Vi diskuterer om dette er en storstilt operasjon i tre akser eller mindre ryddeoperasjoner i gråsonen. Samtidig meldes det om store problemer for den russiske hæren: De har mistet tilgangen til Starlink, og Kreml forsøker nå å blokkere Telegram. Hva betyr dette for russernes evne til å koordinere angrep og dronekrigføring? Vi flytter også blikket til Vinter-OL i Italia. Den ukrainske skeleton-utøveren og flaggbæreren Vladyslav Heraskevytsj ble fratatt akkrediteringen og sendt hjem etter å ha nektet å fjerne en hjelm som hedret døde ukrainske idrettsutøvere. Vi diskuterer IOCs håndtering og idrettens rolle i krigen. Til slutt rydder vi opp i en liten historisk flause om Trygve Lie fra mandagens intervju med FNs Matthias Schmale.

    Russian war crimes, UN’s role in the war and life under fire. With: UN’s Matthias Schmale

    Matthias Schmale, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, joins Ukrainapodden for a deep dive into the humanitarian and political complexities of the ongoing war. As Ukraine is in the middle of a brutal winter, Schmale explains the massive logistical effort required to support a population facing systematic attacks on its energy grid. With over 19 UN agencies active on the ground, the mission has moved beyond traditional aid to focus on early recovery and the documentation of human rights violations. A central theme of the discussion is the role of the United Nations in a world where a permanent member of the Security Council is the aggressor. Schmale offers a peer-level, grounded perspective on why the UN currently lacks the leverage to enforce peace and what a potential reform of the institution might look like. He discusses the concept of "principled pragmatism"—the difficult balance of maintaining neutrality to ensure aid delivery while calling out clear violations of international law, such as the forced "Russification" of citizens in occupied territories. Listeners will also get a personal glimpse into life in Kyiv, a city Schmale describes as a mix of "heaven and hell," where modern city life is abruptly interrupted by air raid sirens and the constant threat of missile strikes. From the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam to the targeting of UN convoys, this episode provides essential context for anyone interested in geopolitical analysis, international law, and the human cost of the conflict.

    Live: Drone Revolution, Terror Bombing and the Battle Against Corruption. Guests: Olena Halushka and Lyuba Shipovich

    In this compelling episode of Ukrainapodden, recorded live at The Shamrock in Oslo, we confront the harsh realities of the war in Ukraine through the insights of two leading Ukrainian voices: Olena Halushka, co-founder of the International Center for Ukrainian Victory, and Lyuba Shipovich, founder of Dignitas, a charitable foundation supporting Ukraine's drone army. The episode delves into three critical aspects of the conflict: the drone revolution, the ongoing terror bombing of civilian infrastructure, and Ukraine's internal battle against corruption. Olena Halushka provides a stark assessment of the current geopolitical landscape, arguing that peace remains elusive and that Russia's unpunished aggression, including the relentless bombardment of Ukrainian cities, constitutes a genocidal war. She challenges the international community's response and emphasizes the urgent need for a "coalition of victory." Olena also highlights how Ukraine's vigorous fight against internal corruption, often misunderstood externally, is in fact a crucial pillar strengthening the nation's resilience and institutions during wartime. Lyuba Shipovich offers an unparalleled insider's view into Ukraine's groundbreaking technological warfare. She details the rapid development and deployment of a diverse range of drones and ground robots, from reconnaissance to interceptors, which are at the heart of Ukraine's drone revolution. Lyuba discusses the critical importance of localizing production of these technologies and the innovative solutions being implemented, such as civilian-trained drone interceptors and new legislation allowing private air defense initiatives. She also touches upon the broader implications for European security, urging nations like Norway to invest in their own defense and learn from Ukraine's experience, particularly through decentralization, as Russia's hybrid warfare already targets Europe. This episode is a crucial listen for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the conflict, its impact on daily life, and the future of warfare. Don't miss their powerful insights on global security, the role of technology, and the unwavering resilience of the Ukrainian people. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
