Ukraine - History in the Making is a series of conversations with me and various guests aiming to improve our understanding of the war in Ukraine and with the ambition of improving our ability to understand and fight the global struggle for freedom.
My name is Emil Juhler-Nøttrup, I am 27 years old and I come from Copenhagen, Denmark. I have always been politically active and currently I’m doing a Master’s degree in Political Science. Besides that I went to Ukraine in February 2024.
My personal motivation for doing this stems from a sense of responsibility and indignation that I have felt ever since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The responsibility and indignation arose because what took place crystallised for me what happens when free democratic countries meet autocratic threats with apathy, conveniency and appeasement. The free democratic world failed Ukraine by giving them NOTHING substantial to defend themselves with prior to the full-scale invasion because we thought the President and the people would surrender without a fight. Why were we so blatantly wrong?
I think it comes down to two factors. One is our own inability to defend and understand freedom, and the other is our lack of knowledge about the countries that have suffered under Soviet and Russian influence in the past, and I think the two are intrinsically linked. Therefore, I also think that by understanding Ukraine better, we can improve our overall ability to defend and understand freedom.
The conversations take place in Danish and English, as I also speak with Danes. I do my best to talk to as many Ukrainians as possible, because their stories are the most important and greatly inspire me, but many of the conversations are also with Danish and foreign politicians or experts whose voices are important in the debate.
Enjoy and get smarter.

Tyrkiet special: Erdogan taber tærren til oppositionen i det netop overståede lokalvalg
Søndag den 31. marts var tyrkerne til stemmeurnerne, da der skulle afholdes lokalvalg. I den anledning har jeg talt med min gode ven, Furkan Kadir Yavuz, som ved en helt del om tyrkisk politik. Det korte resumé er, at Erdogan er gået tilbage, og at oppositionen er gået frem, hvilket er rigtig godt nyt - også for Ukraine. I afsnittet kan du høre Furkans gennemgang af valgresultatet og vores analyse af, hvilke perspektiver det skaber for Tyrkiets fremtidige udenrigspolitik.
Lyt med og bliv klogere!
