Russian President Vladimir’s Putin’s use of tactical or other nuclear weapons would represent a red line which no western country - not even China - would tolerate, Ukraine UN top diplomat Sergiy Kyslytsya

In this wide-ranging interview before a live audience at the iconic Ukrainian Institute of America in New York City, Ambassador Sergíy Kyslytsya tells Global Impact Show co-hosts Melissa Ricci and Michael Bociurkiw that if the Russian leader were to use such weapons it would cause his annihilation within half a day.
The discussion was recorded as part of the agenda of the annual conference of Ukrainian Journalists of North America.
Commenting on the current situation, Amb. Kyslytsya says no one expected the Russian economy to endure to the degree it has this long into the war and that Mr. Putin's appointment of economist Andrei Belousov as the new minister of defense will likely curb corrupt practices in that ministry.
In the interview, Amb. Kyslytsya - a former deputy foreign minister and one of Kyiv’s most experienced foreign envoys - also comments on a wide range of other topics, including what’s needed immediately from the West to protect Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.

28 years after the 1994 Rwanda genocide a ‘stain of shame endures’. In the 100 days of the genocide over 1 million people were murdered.

A very sensitive and controversial topic as governments still aren't straightening the facts to this day and the mainstream media aren't telling the full story.

On Global Impact Show, we are honoring all the victims from the genocide - no human being should have to go through this again.

https://youtu.be/AAdvEdAlOFc

📍War reporter US citizen Brent Arnaud is one of the first international war reporters to be killed in the Ukraine/Russia War.

If anyone is still in doubt that it is a war and not an escalating conflict as all the official organizations UN, WHO etc would like you to believe through their communication staffers then there you have it.

🎙Here is a highlight of our past guest, war reporter Janine di Giovanni Janine di Giovanni where she talks about her profession and pays homage to some of the war reporters she knew who died in duty.

Our thoughts and prayers to family, friends and all who knew Brent Arnaud and Ukrainian journalist Yevhenii Sakum who both lost their lives since the 2022 Ukrainian war started.
Rest In Peace 🙏🇺🇦
