RADIO WAR DAY 924: Even Amid Propaganda Scandal, U.S. Media Ignores Russia's War on Ukraine ODESA—Reporting from the shores of the Black Sea, I highlight a major oversight in U.S. media coverage of the Department of Justice's exposé on Russian-funded American podcasters. The

What is the media not telling you about one of the most religious cities in Europe? Russia is relentlessly bombing one of the most traditional cities in Europe: Lviv. This city, whose name means “lion,” stands as a symbol of faith and resilience. Its heart is car-free, a

Russia's Iranian-designed attack drones, on course to attack Ukraine's Bessarabian River Danube port city of Izmail, have now entered into a Nato and EU country, Romania. Russia has sent killer attack drones from the mullahs in Iran into a European Nato country. Good morning,

If Russia thinks Moscow is so fckin great, why aren't they content with living there and so focused on taking Ukraine and other countries? Also, nice thing to note: Kyiv, Ukraine's Sofia cathedral is about 200 years older than the idea of Moscow. As an American, when I thought

The AFU soldiers have been caring for the bird that was injured for the fifth day. They are feeding and nursing it so that it will be fine. Maybe there was a zoo nearby, as we do not have such birds of blue-yellow color. If you know, can you tell me the name of this creation?💙💛

There's all the propaganda and chit-chat, and then there's the stark reality: Here is a photo of a small Ukrainian city, entered around a lovely church, before Russia's invasion--and then after. When Ukrainians entered last month into Ukraine's Kursk region, there are no scenes

Here is how lazy reporting abets propaganda: in this BBC story about LAPTOPS IN COFFEEHOUSES, the writer says British cafes are suffering because of higher prices due to … “the war in Ukraine.” That construction — “war in Ukraine”—makes Russia’s invasion sound like a tornado

One of Europe's most traditional and religious cities is under serious threat from illegal invaders. Here's the story:

Ось найважливіше питання, яке українці мають чітко пояснити американцям: Що таке перемога? Я американець, який звітує з України на радіо WGN у Чикаго та кожного дня волонтерю для перемоги з 24 лютого 2022 року. Раніше я працював із Fox News та провідними республіканцями. Часто

Bocelli and bombs: I recorded the audio of an intense Russian missile barrage in Kyiv from last week. You can listen to it here, along with a bit of Bocelli, whose music I heard blasting to keep people calm when at last I ran down to the shelter. / from my daily WGN Radio Ukraine

This video was incredibly difficult to create. It covers the heartbreaking Russian attack that took the lives of a mother and her three daughters, leaving the father to carry on without them. The people of Lviv turned out to steady him and to kneel in honor of those murdered by

RADIO WAR DAY 925: Zelensky's Bold Plea as Russian Missiles Strike Deep; Biden delays aid Every weekday since February 2022, I have made a 10-minute report live on Chicago's WGN Radio. Sometimes lately it is tough to make a connection, after increased Russian infrastructure

Vladimir Putin's grandfather, who was a chef to tyrants Lenin and Stalin, once also cooked for Rasputin, the mysterious and dark Moscow manipulator:

does anyone care? Russians poison rivers flowing into Ukraine. They've destroyed the ecology of the delta in Kherson by blowing up a dam. They have ruined fields and forests with landmines. If it's not enough for you to care about the people killed by the Russians, will you at

Here's a tribute to 9/11 heroes from Ukrainian artist #NEIVANMADE. He mentions Rick Rescorla, the British-American soldier and Morgan Stanley security expert who warned about such an attack for years and who on the day of 9/11/2001 rescue many before dying himself. The medieval
