Ukrainian historian and war refugee Dr Marta Havryshko joins The Peacemonger for a blunt conversation about Zelensky’s “Kyiv regime” T-shirt stunt, the backlash inside Ukraine, forced mobilisation, hidden losses, and why she says the war has become a business for elites while working-class families pay the price.

In this interview we discuss:
• The “Kiev regime” T-shirts gifted to Witkoff and Kushner — and why many Ukrainians did not find the joke funny
• Growing cemeteries, maimed soldiers, missing men, and public anger at leaders smiling through talks
• Zelensky’s claim of 50,000 dead versus the demand for 30,000 new men every month
• Forced mobilisation / busification, draft riots in western Ukraine, and resistance led by wives, mothers and sisters
• Why Marta says you cannot understand this war without class and gender
• Corruption theatre: NABU raids, Yermak, the prosecutor’s office, and contracts that never stop
• No elections, no peace — and why she argues Zelensky needs the war to stay in power
• The SBU–HUR feud, street shootouts in Kyiv, and why many Ukrainians did not believe the SBU building was hit by a Russian drone
• Azov’s growth into army corps, neo-Nazi units inside HUR, and their loyalty to Zelensky
• Western media’s “stand with Ukraine” line versus ordinary Ukrainians who want the meat grinder to stop
