BOOKS: The New Total War: From Child Abduction to Cyber Attacks and Drones to Disinformation – Russia’s Conflict with Ukraine and the West (July 2025) ---------- Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE 'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine’s beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.    / @kyivofmine   https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theproject Kyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ---------- LINKS: https://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Total-Wa... https://x.com/IoWBobSeely https://www.rusi.org/people/seely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Seely https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert... https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/en/p... ---------- DESCRIPTION: Understanding Russian Hybrid Warfare: A Deep Dive with Bob Seely In this episode, British Conservative Party politician and former journalist Bob Seely discusses Russian hybrid warfare and his influential book, 'Total War: From Child Abduction to Cyber Attacks and Drones to Disinformation'.
