How did we reach a point where quoting Western sources gets you branded a foreign propagandist? Is the EU's executive branch now completely out of its mind, punishing dissenters without trial under the guise of fighting "propaganda"?

To discuss this Orwellian turn, I sat down with my friend and colleague Glenn Diesen. As a professor at the University of Southeast Norway and a sharp geopolitical analyst, Glenn brings the necessary depth to understand why Europe is seemingly criminalizing objective analysis.

Why is Ukraine losing the war against Russia? How do the two sides think and conduct their operations? What mistakes have been made by both sides? How has the West contributed to Ukraine's defeat?
To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information as well as American, Western, and Russian documents. He explains how Russia understands and conducts the war. He shows how the West's inability to grasp this reality and its determination to weaken Russia has backfired on Ukraine. Following his bestsellers *Putin: Master of the Game?*, *Operation Z*, and *Ukraine Between War and Peace*, whose analytical work has been praised worldwide and translated into several languages, the author returns to the war in Ukraine. He explains how Russia conducted the conflict and reveals how the image presented by the West led Ukraine to failure.

Jacques Baud was a member of Swiss strategic intelligence, a specialist in Eastern European countries, and former head of doctrine for UN peacekeeping operations. During the Cold War, he worked on Soviet military tactics and the war in Afghanistan. Within NATO, he participated in programs in Ukraine, particularly after the 2014 Maidan Revolution. In addition to his major works on the conflict in Ukraine, he is the author of several books on intelligence, war, and terrorism, including *Governing by Fake News*, *Defeating Jihadist Terrorism*, and *The Navalny Affair*, all published by Max Milo.

What forces are operating in the shadows of the war in Ukraine, both inside and outside the theater of operations? What clandestine operations have been conducted for the past three years that remain unknown to the general public? Who is assassinating oligarchs across Europe? How are Western intelligence services assisting the Ukrainians? And, more broadly, how do the concepts of clandestine action differ between Russia and Ukraine?

Like all conflicts, the one unfolding in Ukraine has several levels. One of them is visible. It manifests itself through destruction, operational and tactical movements, and their human consequences. But behind this war lies a less visible and more discreet level, unfolding beneath the surface of the news. This is the clandestine war.

Drawing on official information as well as American, European, Ukrainian, and Russian documents, Jacques Baud reveals this invisible war. Between secret diplomacy and clandestine operations, he revisits the underground confrontation that has pitted Russia, Ukraine, and Western countries against each other since 2014.
