Ukraine and Beyond
Ukraine and Beyond is a series of conversations with me and various guests with the aim of improving our understanding of the war in Ukraine and with the ambition of improving our ability to understand and fight the global struggle for freedom. My name is Emil Juhler-Nøttrup, I am 27 years old and I am from Copenhagen, Denmark. I have always been politically active, and I am currently doing a Master’s degree in Political Science. My personal motivation for doing and publishing the conversations stems from a sense of responsibility and indignation that I have felt ever since Russia’s large scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The responsibility and indignation arose because what took place crystallised for me what happens when free democratic countries meet autocratic threats with apathy, conveniency and appeasement. The free democratic world failed Ukraine by giving them NOTHING substantial to defend themselves with prior to the large-scale invasion because we thought the President and the people would surrender without a fight. Why were we so blatantly wrong? I think it comes down to two factors. One is our own inability to defend and understand freedom, and the other is our lack of understanding of the countries that have suffered under Soviet and Russian influence in the past, and I think the two things are intrinsically linked. The ambition is therefore also that by understanding Ukraine better, we can improve our overall ability to defend and understand freedom. And after all, if we ourselves DO NOT defend freedom, which we DIDN´T do before the large-scale invasion, both on a practical level and in the global struggle for narratives, then why should other people follow our example? Right now Ukraine is the example we all have to follow and understand. It´s as simple as that. The conversations take place in Danish and English, as I also speak with Danes. I do my best to talk to as many Ukrainians as possible, because their stories are the most important and greatly inspire me, but many of the conversations are also with Danish or foreign politicians or experts whose voices are important in the debate. If you got this far, i suppose you will read this as well, but let me be honest. I once had a more USA, NATO and EU critic view, but what corrected my path, was seeing the documentary ”Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom”. This documentary shows what Ukrainians went through during the ”Revolution of Dignity” in the winter of 2013-14, and it is just staggering how close you see the events. Nothing is left for doubt. This was a democratic revolution in which many Ukrainians willingly sacrificed their lifes to the struggle for freedom and dignity. We have to keep honoring, understanding and think of the meaning such actions! Enjoy and get smarter. Slava Ukraini!

From 1361 and more than two centuries onwards Ukraine was under Polish-Lithuanian influence. Back then the power of The Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth spanned all the way from the Baltic Sea above Lithuania to the Black Sea beneath Ukraine. In the episode we talk about the period and about how this influence on Ukraine is expressed, both historically and in our current time.

Den 26. marts slog Ukraine Island 2-1 i den afgørende kvalifikationskamp om at komme til EM til sommer. Det er en kæmpe ting for Ukraine og ukrainerne, at deres landshold nu har muligheden for at repræsentere nationen ved sommerens EM. I den anledning tog jeg en snak med min gode og enormt fodboldkyndige ven, Lasse Krarup Jørgensen, om Ukraines hold og Ukraines chancer. Det blev til en meget spændende snak, der først og fremmest handler om det sportslige. Lyt med, Slava!

Søndag den 31. marts var tyrkerne til stemmeurnerne, da der skulle afholdes lokalvalg. I den anledning har jeg talt med min gode ven, Furkan Kadir Yavuz, som ved en helt del om tyrkisk politik. Det korte resumé er, at Erdogan er gået tilbage, og at oppositionen er gået frem, hvilket er rigtig godt nyt - også for Ukraine. I afsnittet kan du høre Furkans gennemgang af valgresultatet og vores analyse af, hvilke perspektiver det skaber for Tyrkiets fremtidige udenrigspolitik.

In the third episode of Ukraine - History in the making Emil presents the story of the Mongol invasion of Kievan Rus and the subsequent Mongolian rule over Ukrainian lands. Emil is joined by Yevheniia who talks about the general perception and perhaps lack of knowledge among Ukrainians concerning this period. If there is one thing that stands out it is definitely the degree of cruelty and destruction that the Mongol Empire brought upon the citizens of Kyivan Rus. In the next episode we talk about the connection between Ukraine and The Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

On march 4 I spoke with Yevheniia Fedotova for the first episode of a Ukraine history series called "Ukraine: History in the making", that I'm doing with her, Olena Dudko and Elizabeth Pulvas where we, over the next four months present the history of Ukraine.
Our aim is to reach as many people as possible, because we think that by spreading knowledge about the history of Ukraine, we help people to understand why Ukraine and Ukrainians are so resilient in the face of tyranny. So if you guys like it, please tell your friends about it and share it on your social media.
In this episode Yevheniia presents the story of the Trypillian, Scythian and Sarmatian civilizations. The Trypilians, Scytians and Sarmatians were the people inhabiting what is now Ukraine before the formation of Kievan Rus. In the next episode we talk about Kievan Rus.

I denne epsiode taler vi om vores tur til Ukraine, og Jens gennemgår Navalnyjs politiske virke. Afslutningsvis reflekterer vi over, hvor det stiller Rusland fremadrettet.

In this episode I announce that I'm going to take a break from doing weekly episodes and explain the reason. Besides that I use the occasion to share some reflections I´ve done concerning our attitude towards to Ukraine. The reflections are:
1. Where is our sense of urgency?
2. We need to get over the perpetual convenient excuses for not helping Ukraine.
3. Deterioration works!
4. Elections are coming up everywhere.
5. Volunteer yourself for Ukraine!
Listen along and get smarter. Slava Ukraini, yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever!🇺🇦

Tirsdag den 9. marts talte jeg med Jens Alstrup, bestyrelsesformand i foreningen Frihed for Ukraine, som han også er medstifter af. Jens er med afstand den, af alle jeg har talt med, der har brugt mest tid på, og bruger mest tid på, at hjælpe Ukraine. Det vigtigste er nok hans mere end 10 ture til Ukraine, enten for at rapportere eller for at aflevere udstyr til soldater. Udover det frivillige arbejde for Ukraine, har Jens også, som han selv siger, "en broget baggrund", der fx inkluderer en vanvittig cykeltur gennem Sibirien.
