[00:03:33] Let's put all dots over the I right from the start. Zelensky needs
[00:03:37] peace as much as his Western partners do, not a
[00:03:41] gram. And the Americans, Poles, British, Ukrainians, even
[00:03:44] being a proxy force, have spent too many resources
[00:03:48] and staked too much. Of course, in their opinion, these were
[00:03:51] investments in the future, which means that what was invested must pay
[00:03:54] off. The only question is when, in what form, and
[00:03:58] in what volume. Because no matter how much the West tried to manipulate Zelensky,
[00:04:02] he turned out to be not as pliable as many
[00:04:05] would have liked, he asks for a lot, steals a lot, and
[00:04:08] the result is not great yet, even despite the terror against
[00:04:12] Russia. In fact, Ukraine is not achieving the goals
[00:04:15] of the West, nor its own, the front
[00:04:18] is not moving in Kyiv's favor. Russia
[00:04:21] has practically destroyed Ukraine's energy infrastructure and
[00:04:24] constantly strikes military
[00:04:27] targets, including the military-industrial complex,
[00:04:30] weapons depots and drone production farms.
[00:04:34] Apparently, Ukraine's "peremoga" (victory) is close,
[00:04:37] but what kind of "peremoga"? But that's probably
[00:04:40] another story. And I, Ksenia Lebedeva, am with you. Hello.
[00:04:53] Ukraine lacks air defense systems, and missiles for air
[00:04:57] defense even more so, and whether they will have any
[00:05:01] in the near future remains a mystery. The reason:
[00:05:03] partners are fine with Ukrainian terror against the civilian
[00:05:07] population of Russia, but protecting Ukrainian
[00:05:10] interests is not interesting to them. This fact is very similar to the behavior
[00:05:14] of the Nazis in the 1940s towards the families of policemen and
[00:05:18] collaborators, when traitors killed communists and
[00:05:22] other enemies and those unworthy of the Reich,
[00:05:25] their families were taken to Germany, shot along with other
[00:05:28] civilians, killed in concentration camps.
[00:05:32] Decades later, the Western mentality has not changed, their
[00:05:35] interests are above all. Let's start with the main
[00:05:38] ally of independent and sovereign United
[00:06:21] before his Western supporters, proving that
[00:06:24] Russia can be defeated. His clash with Donald
[00:06:27] Trump in the Oval Office last year was overshadowed by later
[00:06:31] meetings where the US President seemed
[00:06:34] ready to help Ukraine achieve victory. After closed
[00:06:38] talks with Zelensky in Turkey last month, Trump suggested.
[00:07:12] in the supply of missiles for Patriot systems, we also
[00:07:16] need them, that's how the American leader justified his refusal, and
[00:07:19] this is despite the fact that Vladimir Zelensky announced to everyone on the eve of the meeting
[00:07:23] about supposedly reached agreements and monthly
[00:07:27] supplies. As they say, promising is not
[00:07:30] marrying, but Zelensky didn't stop there, he started
[00:07:34] begging for a license to produce Patriot missiles on live broadcasts
[00:07:37] of American TV channels.
[00:07:40] Pentagon chief Hexe.
[00:08:12] joint America, and we are open to more numerous
[00:08:15] ammunition than the United States of
[00:08:20] production wherever possible. The Biden administration transferred hundreds of
[00:08:23] billions of dollars worth of ammunition to Ukraine, so President Trump had to
[00:08:27] replenish these stocks, and he did, and we are replenishing them
[00:08:31] right now in real
[00:08:33] time.
[00:08:37] So the answer to Zelensky's request, no or
[00:08:39] yes. In the end.
[00:08:59] with US participation is on hold. Ukrainian officials say that
[00:09:02] the real impetus for negotiations can only be given by a personal
[00:09:06] meeting between Zelensky and Putin. But are they ready
[00:09:09] for this in Kyiv? That's the first thing. Second. The status of Vladimir
[00:09:13] Alexandrovich, the Ukrainian fixer. In just
[00:09:16] a few days, Ukraine lost a significant part of its accumulated
[00:09:20] diplomatic and military momentum. And you know, this is not
[00:09:23] an accident, this is a natural result of a policy built on
[00:09:27] illusions. While Kyiv thought it could
[00:09:30] play on equal terms with Washington, in reality
[00:09:33] the United States is solving its own problems. Let's move on to
[00:09:37] the European direction. Here too, everything
[00:09:40] is far from as rosy as
[00:09:42] Kyiv authorities would like. Membership in the European Union in
[00:09:46] turbo mode can be forgotten. And the fault lies,
[00:09:50] strangely enough, with Ukraine itself. The Financial
[00:09:53] Times this week published an article which directly
[00:09:56] states: The European Union does not want to accept independent
[00:10:00] Ukraine into its membership in the near future due to the high level of
[00:10:03] corruption. European officials admit that the Ukrainian
[00:10:07] armed forces are valuable, but I quote, there is another
[00:10:10] side, the importance of which...
[00:11:08] Ukrainian Ambassador Konstantin Eliseev directly asks what
[00:11:11] kind of turbo-mode of European integration can be talked about,
[00:11:14] if even 10 steps are implemented with huge
[00:11:17] delays. Note that almost 80%
[00:11:21] of surveyed Ukrainians consider corruption one of the country's
[00:11:25] biggest problems, according to data from the National Agency for
[00:11:28] Corruption Prevention. The people
[00:11:31] see the problem, the government continues to pretend that everything is
[00:11:34] fine and demands full membership from the European Union.
[00:11:37] membership.
[00:11:40] Ukraine, more than any other country, deserves membership in
[00:11:44] the EU, because it paid a high price for its freedom and
[00:11:48] independence. Does Zelensky still
[00:11:51] not understand that Ukraine will never be spoken to on equal terms?
[00:11:55] Does he not understand its role or is he pretending?
[00:11:59] Let's move on to military aid: the figures are impressive, but there are
[00:12:02] nuances. Of course, partners do not leave Ukraine
[00:12:05] without aid. In 2026, NATO members will provide
[00:12:09] 70 billion euros for military equipment, aid, and
[00:12:13] training. And, as reported, at least the same amount
[00:12:16] is planned to be allocated in 2027.
[00:12:19] Great Britain guarantees long-term support at a level
[00:12:22] of at least 3 billion pounds per year. Germany
[00:12:26] plans to provide 11.5 billion
[00:12:29] euros in military aid. At the thirty-fifth
[00:12:32] meeting in Ramstein format alone, international partners
[00:12:35] allocated 4 billion dollars in new military
[00:12:38] aid. But let's ask ourselves: where does this money
[00:12:42] go, when in Kyiv one minister after another
[00:12:45] is sent to retirement.
[00:12:49] You say that Fedorov overcame corruption. The question is, what prices
[00:12:52] were set at the tenders? ATVs. were bought for
[00:12:55] 4,300 dollars in China, sold to us for
[00:12:59] 12,000 dollars under Fedorov, three times more expensive. There is
[00:13:02] no order in the army, there is simply chaos, and the corruption
[00:13:06] that flourishes there, everything they show us are minor
[00:13:09] trifles. And this is just the tip of the
[00:13:13] iceberg. Huge funds allocated by Western taxpayers
[00:13:17] end up in the pockets of corrupt officials of both Ukraine
[00:13:19] and the EU. European countries financing
[00:13:23] Ukraine actually increase its dependence,
[00:13:27] ordinary Ukrainians continue to suffer from hostilities
[00:13:30] and economic collapse.
[00:13:34] Lies, lies, lies and corruption at all levels.
[00:13:38] The culture of lies as a national systemic trait, the risk
[00:13:41] of state collapse is growing.
[00:13:45] Let's summarize: Ukraine's relations with partners are
[00:13:49] a classic example of how illusions are shattered by harsh
[00:13:52] reality. The US, having demonstrated
[00:13:55] love and unity, at the crucial moment refused what was most
[00:13:58] needed - missiles for air defense. The European Union,
[00:14:02] proclaiming support, in practice hinders the accession process due to
[00:14:06] egregious corruption, which Kyiv authorities do not
[00:14:09] want or cannot overcome. And
[00:14:12] multi-billion dollar military aid, instead of strengthening
[00:14:15] defense capabilities, is increasingly becoming a source of enrichment
[00:14:19] for dishonest officials. And yet,
[00:14:23] victory for Ukraine, according to
[00:14:25] Zelensky, is not far off, but what should be considered
[00:14:28] victory, and how similar is it in the perception of Ukrainian
[00:14:32] officials and ordinary Ukrainians? The question
[00:14:36] is rhetorical, but that's probably another story. And
[00:14:39] I, Ksenia Lebedeva, was with you. See you in the next program.
[00:15:21] club of editors, Western vaccines, for some reason, correct. What
[00:15:37] happened with Covid is such a story about the preparation of the same United
[00:15:41] States for possible scenarios of biological warfare,
[00:15:44] of course, any feed additives, any
[00:15:47] fertilizers can be bought, but what will you
[00:15:50] buy from there along with feed additives
[00:15:53] and fertilizers, what virus will you bring here,
[00:15:57] who will it be directed at, is also a big question, there is
[00:16:00] colossal social Darwinism
[00:16:03] of the ruling strata towards
[00:16:05] the ordinary.
[00:16:15] Throughout its sovereign history, Alexander Lukashenka has behaved not like
[00:16:19] a temporary ruler. He linked his destiny with
[00:16:22] Belarus, the destiny of the Belarusian people, and
[00:16:25] even in those conditions when he was criticized internally by
[00:16:29] certain destructive forces, and externally,
[00:16:32] but he, guided by the interests of our nation,
[00:16:35] preserved the country.
