Thanks for your support in helping us create season 4 of Doomsday Watch, our most ambitious series to date. Our ‘first draft of history’ of Russia’s war on Ukraine is finished (for now) but we’re delighted to continue to offer extra content in the form of EXCLUSIVE uncut interviews from the series. Today’s special is the full interview with the one and only John Sweeney, recorded at his London home while back in the UK following his long stints in Ukraine, based in Kyiv and travelling frequently to the front lines. John’s bestselling book Killer in the Kremlin has been updated with new chapters on the Ukraine war and details the tyranny wrought by Vladimir Putin over the past quarter-century. This conversation begins with John’s gripping account of tracking the Russian leader's use of brutal warmongering, terror and information warfare to control his country’s population and wage successive wars on its neighbours. Speaking in March 2023, John describes the horror of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure, and how he remains optimistic that his nemesis will, in the end, fail - and Ukraine’s spirited and skilful resistance will triumph in the war. Written and presented by Arthur Snell. Produced by Robin Leeburn. Original music by Paul Hartnoll – https://www.orbitalofficial.com. Group Editor Andrew Harrison. Doomsday Watch is a Podmasters production.
