John Sweeney - "Instead of Denazification we Turned Ukraine into a Country the Whole World Knows."

GUEST: John Sweeney - investigative journalist and writer. Orange hat advocate.
----------

Here’s a quote from the latest video dropped by Prighozhin, “We conducted the Special Military Operation to de-nazify and demilitarise Ukraine, but instead of denazification we turned Ukraine into a country that the whole world knows about.” A new Greek or Roman civilisation. It’s an extraordinary interview, which we’ll be covering in more detail in this week’s review of the news in Silicon Bites. But in this episode, I’m speaking to an unorthodox journalist, who has created some of the most memorable and impassioned coverage of Russia’s war of aggression.

SPEAKER:
John Sweeney is a British investigative journalist and writer. He worked for The Observer newspaper, and the BBC's Panorama and Newsnight series. Sweeney ceased working for the BBC in October 2019, and is now reporting on the war in Ukraine, as well as creating a Daily war diary. Which I strongly advise you to watch if you’ve not seen it. He’s also been working on a film, documenting the most brutal parts of the conflict – ‘The Eastern Front’, which is released in June this year.
