[00:00:30] You can report housing problems, violations of working conditions and other
[00:00:33] issues that arise in the first years of work. The chatbot allows
[00:00:37] you to send requests in a few clicks, attaching photos
[00:00:40] and video materials if necessary. All incoming messages are sent to
[00:00:43] relevant specialists and regulatory bodies. The goal
[00:00:47] of the initiative is to provide comfortable and safe conditions for the adaptation of young
[00:00:50] specialists in their first jobs, as well as to promptly eliminate
[00:00:54] arising violations.

[00:01:08] participation in the Olympiad. By the number of gold medals, the team took second place
[00:01:12] among 135 teams, losing to the Moscow
[00:01:15] Institute of Physics and Technology. The Olympiad brought together about 500
[00:01:18] participants from 48 countries. This was not a surprise,
[00:01:22] that is, we expected five medals in advance.
[00:01:24] And this is the fact that
[00:01:28] it...
[00:02:00] first presented the results of a joint Russian-Belarusian experiment with
[00:02:03] cosmic tomatoes, in which schoolchildren of the Union State
[00:02:06] participated. Tomatoes are grown on the territory of the first gymnasium from
[00:02:10] seeds that have been in orbit as part of an international project into space with
[00:02:14] their tomato. Here, two groups of plants were planted, cosmic seeds
[00:02:17] and the same number of ordinary ones. All of them grow in identical conditions. Schoolchildren monitor
[00:02:21] the development of tomatoes at each stage of
[00:02:24] the experiment. Plants grown from cosmic
[00:02:27] seeds showed a higher yield.
[00:05:47] Let's put all the dots on the I's from the very beginning. Zelensky needs
[00:05:51] peace just as much as his Western partners. Not an
[00:05:54] inch. And the Americans, Poles, British, Ukrainians, even
[00:05:58] being a proxy force, have spent too many resources
[00:06:01] and risked too much. Of course, in their opinion, these were
[00:06:05] investments in the future, which means that the invested amount should
[00:06:08] pay off in full. The only question is, when and in what form. And...
[00:06:12] the volume, because no matter how much the West tried to manipulate Zelensky, he
[00:06:16] turned out not to be as pliant as many
[00:06:19] would have liked, he asks for a lot, steals a lot, but
[00:06:22] the result is still not great, even despite the terror against
[00:06:26] Russia, in fact Ukraine does not achieve the goals
[00:06:29] of the West, and its own, for that matter. The front
[00:06:32] is not moving in favor of Kyiv. Russia
[00:06:35] has almost completely destroyed Ukraine's energy infrastructure
[00:06:37] and constantly strikes
[00:06:40] military targets. Among them are the military-industrial complex, warehouses with
[00:06:44] weapons, and drone production farms.
[00:06:48] Apparently, Ukraine's victory is close,
[00:06:51] but which one, but that's probably
[00:06:54] another story. And with you, Ksenia Lebedeva, hello.
[00:07:07] Ukraine lacks air defense, missiles for air
[00:07:11] defense. And whether Ukraine will have them in the near
[00:07:14] future remains a mystery. The reason
[00:07:17] partners are satisfied with Ukrainian terror against the civilian population
[00:07:21] of Russia, but protecting Ukrainian interests is not
[00:07:24] interesting to them. This fact is very similar to the behavior of the Nazis
[00:07:28] in the 1940s, regarding the families of policemen and
[00:07:32] collaborators, when traitors killed communists and
[00:07:35] other enemies and those unworthy of the Reich,
[00:07:38] their families were driven to Germany, shot along with others.
[00:07:55] United States. Let me remind you that in early summer
[00:07:58] 2026, the tone of American President Donald
[00:08:02] Trump towards Kyiv noticeably softened. After
[00:08:05] negotiations in Turkey, he spoke of great love
[00:08:09] and unity. The Ukrainian side even.
[00:08:14] His clash with Donald Trump.
[00:08:42] in the cabinet last year was overshadowed by later
[00:08:45] meetings, at which the US president seemed ready
[00:08:49] to help Ukraine achieve victory. After closed-door
[00:08:52] talks with Zelensky in Turkey last month, Trump offered
[00:08:56] to meet Kyiv's urgent need for air
[00:08:59] defense, telling reporters during a briefing about
[00:09:02] the promising atmosphere between the two leaders, there was
[00:09:06] love, much unity in that room.
[00:09:09] As the American publication The Atlantic wrote, now in Washington
[00:09:13] they thought that Ukraine would win, however, as
[00:09:16] they say, it was smooth on paper, but they forgot about
[00:09:19] the ravines. Already in August, the situation changed
[00:09:22] dramatically. President Trump categorically refused
[00:09:26] Kyiv's request for Patriot missile systems. We also
[00:09:29] need them. This is how the American leader justified his refusal. And
[00:09:33] this is despite the fact that Volodymyr Zelensky on the eve of the meeting loudly announced
[00:09:37] alleged agreements and monthly
[00:09:41] supplies. As they say, promising is not
[00:09:44] marrying, but Zelensky did not stop there,
[00:09:47] he began to beg for a license to produce
[00:09:51] Patriot missiles on American
[00:09:54] TV channels. Pentagon chief Hex made it clear that if Kyiv
[00:09:58] wants to have American weapons, it needs
[00:10:01] to buy them.
[00:10:05] Zelensky was on our show a few weeks ago, he asked not
[00:10:08] only to provide more interceptors, but also to allow production.
[00:10:51] So the answer to Zelensky's request is no or yes.
[00:10:55] Ultimately, we worked with them and Ukraine is buying
[00:10:58] ammunition, for which
[00:11:00] Europe pays.
[00:11:02] Good, but he asked to be given the opportunity to produce these
[00:11:05] ammunition. We will stop there today.
[00:11:09] Moreover, the negotiation process for a peaceful settlement with the participation
[00:11:13] of the United States has been paused. Ukrainian officials say that
[00:11:16] a real impetus for negotiations can only be given by a personal
[00:11:20] meeting between Zelensky and Putin. But are they ready
[00:11:23] for this in Kyiv? This?
[00:11:29] In just a few days, Ukraine lost a significant
[00:11:33] part of its accumulated diplomatic and military momentum, and
[00:11:36] you know, this is not an accident, it is a natural result of a policy
[00:11:40] built on illusions. While Kyiv
[00:11:42] thought it could play on equal terms with
[00:11:45] Washington, in reality, the United States is pursuing
[00:11:49] its own goals. Let's move on to
[00:11:51] the European direction, here too everything is far
[00:11:55] from as rosy as Kyiv's authorities would like. About
[00:11:58] joining the European Union in turbo mode can
[00:12:02] be forgotten. And the fault for this, strangely enough, is Ukraine
[00:12:05] itself. The Financial Times this week published
[00:12:08] an article that directly states that the European Union
[00:12:12] does not want to admit independent Ukraine into its
[00:12:15] ranks anytime soon due to the high level of corruption. European
[00:12:18] officials acknowledge that the Ukrainian armed forces are valuable, but
[00:12:22] I quote, there is another side, the importance of which
[00:12:26] is enormous. According to the Financial Times, EU representatives
[00:12:29] believe that without taking into account the current conflict, Ukraine would hardly
[00:12:33] have been able to claim membership in
[00:12:36] the association with existing problems with
[00:12:39] corruption, independence of courts, observance
[00:12:42] of basic EU principles. About which
[00:12:46] it must be admitted, the EU only remembers
[00:12:48] when necessary.
[00:12:51] You cannot accept a country with a population of 40 million people
[00:12:55] into the EU, which ranks 104th in the world list of countries with a high level of
[00:12:58] corruption.
[00:13:01] This was stated to the newspaper by an unnamed high-ranking European
[00:13:04] official. The Ukrainian leadership in December 2025
[00:13:08] signed a declaration, taking on obligations to combat
[00:13:12] corruption and reform the judicial system.
[00:13:15] The deadline for implementation is the end of 2026, but according to
[00:13:18] expert estimates, less than 20% has been completed. Ukrainian
[00:13:22] Ambassador Konstantin Eliseev directly asked.
[00:13:55] any other country deserves EU membership, since
[00:13:58] it paid a high price for its freedom and
[00:14:01] independence. Does Zelensky still
[00:14:05] not understand that Ukraine will never be treated as an equal,
[00:14:08] does he not understand its role or
[00:14:11] is he pretending? Let's move on to military aid, the numbers
[00:14:15] are impressive, but there are nuances. Of course,
[00:14:17] partners do not leave Ukraine without help. In
[00:14:20] 2026, NATO members will provide 70
[00:14:23] billion euros for military. The question
[00:15:05] is what prices were set at tenders. ATVs were purchased
[00:15:09] for 4,300 dollars in China, sold to us for
[00:15:12] 12 thousand dollars under Fedorov, three times more expensive. In the army
[00:15:16] there is not only no order, there is simply chaos, and the corruption
[00:15:20] that thrives there, everything that is shown to us are small
[00:15:23] flowers. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
[00:15:27] Huge funds allocated by Western taxpayers settle in
[00:15:31] the pockets of corrupt officials in both Ukraine and
[00:15:35] the EU. European countries, by financing
[00:15:38] Ukraine, actually reinforce its
[00:15:41] dependence. Ordinary Ukrainians continue to suffer
[00:15:45] from hostilities and economic
[00:15:48] Lies, lies, lies, and corruption at all levels.
[00:15:52] A culture of lies as a national systemic trait. The risk
[00:15:55] of state collapse is growing.
[00:15:59] Let's summarize: Ukraine's relations with partners are
[00:16:02] a classic example of how illusions are shattered by harsh
[00:16:06] reality. Having demonstrated love and
[00:16:09] unity, at the crucial moment, they refused to provide the most
[00:16:12] essential - air defense missiles.
[00:16:15] The European Union, while proclaiming support in words, in practice, slows down the process
[00:16:19] of accession due to rampant corruption, which the Kyiv
[00:16:22] authorities either do not want or cannot
[00:16:25] overcome. And the multi-billion dollar military aid, instead of
[00:16:29] strengthening defense capabilities, more often becomes a source
[00:16:32] of enrichment for unscrupulous officials.
[00:16:36] And yet, victory for Ukraine, according to Zelensky,
[00:16:39] is not far off. Only what to consider
[00:16:42] victory and how much it is similar in the perception
[00:16:46] of Ukrainian officials and ordinary Ukrainians?
[00:16:49] A rhetorical question, but that's probably
[00:16:52] another story. And with you was Ksenia Lebedeva, see you in the next program.
[00:18:37] Route rebuilt. The carrier bets on
[00:18:40] cooperation with foreign companies. Yes, ties with
[00:18:43] European partners have come to naught. And here is the solution.
[00:18:47] And this is again a reorientation to the East. Currently, Belarusian
[00:18:51] carriers have the opportunity to carry out international transportation across
[00:18:54] the territory of 15 states. For whom was the recycling fee
[00:18:57] canceled? The ability to import equipment without a recycling fee
[00:19:01] is a vitally necessary opportunity for Belarusian carriers.
[00:19:05] And do all use the benefit conscientiously? by the bodies of the State
[00:19:08] Control Committee in the current year,
[00:19:11] the use of 28 units of
[00:19:14] trucks for unintended purposes was revealed. And who chooses
[00:19:18] a domestic manufacturer? If we
[00:19:20] have our own, well, this is ours. If we
[00:19:24] don't have our own, we have to rely on
[00:19:27] someone, and we know how to do everything
[00:19:31] for people's lives. How problematic issues in
[00:19:34] various spheres are resolved under the President's control.
