[00:00:31] In Europe, they are discussing a diesel deal between Russia and the US, Donald Trump
[00:00:35] did not report. The US President also said that it was time for Ukraine
[00:00:39] to change its president. European politicians respond by expressing
[00:00:42] support for Vladimir Zelensky. Over the weekend, Russia
[00:00:45] continued to attack Ukraine. Jet drones even reached
[00:00:48] western regions, with dozens killed and
[00:00:51] wounded across the country. Over the weekend, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the third
[00:00:54] Yandex data center. After the strike, dozens of the company's
[00:00:58] websites and services stopped working, not only in Russia, but in other
[00:01:24] Ukraine and Russia agreed on an energy truce on
[00:01:28] Sunday in a social media post. He noted
[00:02:17] that an energy truce, in the understanding of the US President, means that
[00:02:21] Russia and Ukraine will cease attacks only on each other's oil refineries,
[00:02:25] and that is what is expected from Kyiv. At the same time, in
[00:02:28] Ukraine, let me remind you,
[00:02:38] all relevant
[00:02:41] orders were received after Trump's statement on an energy
[00:02:44] truce.
[00:02:47] On Sunday evening, three people were killed and 28 injured
[00:02:50] in a Russian strike on the village of Pesochin near Kharkiv. Pesochin
[00:02:54] is located not far from the previously attacked TPP 5. After the strikes, one of
[00:02:57] the Russian parcel bombs exploded.
[00:03:37] Over the weekend, Russian military aircraft dropped aerial bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. Search and rescue
[00:03:40] operations lasted more than a day. According to authorities, 23 people
[00:03:44] died and dozens were injured.
[00:03:47] I heard an explosion at home, I live across the street,
[00:03:50] I went out, I saw smoke, I understood
[00:03:54] approximately where it hit and immediately people started to be pulled out, a man, a woman and
[00:03:57] a child.
[00:04:34] And in the Rostov region, the fire continues at the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery's
[00:04:37] oil terminal. It was attacked on Saturday night.
[00:04:41] At the same time, local media claim that reeds are burning. But Tasint, an analyst
[00:04:45] from the Astro publication, concluded that the oil refinery is still
[00:04:48] ablaze.
[00:04:51] Yandex disclaimed responsibility for the consequences of drone attacks,
[00:04:54] the company added a new clause to its user agreement. It
[00:04:58] lists the circumstances.
[00:05:12] Ukraine damaged three out of four of Yandex's main data centers,
[00:05:16] as reported by The Insider. The Galushkin supercomputer,
[00:05:19] which is among the most powerful in Russia, was located in the Vladimir
[00:05:22] data center. Two other supercomputers were located in
[00:05:25] Sasovo, Ryazan region, which were attacked on October 8.
[00:05:29] Users complained about service disruptions for Yandex in
[00:05:32] Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. According to data from
[00:05:36] RF and DownDetector, in Russia also, the websites of Magnit,
[00:05:39] Lenta, Vkusno. tochka, online stores, banking applications,
[00:05:43] communication operators, RZD, as well as public services and
[00:05:46] corporate services, for example,
[00:05:49] 1C,
[00:05:50] were not working.
[00:05:55] You've probably heard about the oil deal with Russia, it's a big deal,
[00:05:59] a lot of oil will come to our country, frankly, I'm grateful
[00:06:02] to President Putin, a lot of oil will come to our country, and it's
[00:06:06] diesel, just what we need, so
[00:06:08] thank you.
[00:06:12] US President Donald Trump over the weekend, he gave several comments about the
[00:06:16] so-called diesel deal with Russia in the press. On Friday, in his
[00:06:20] social network Trucial, Trump, after a phone call with Putin,
[00:06:24] wrote that Russia would supply 300,000 tons of diesel fuel
[00:06:27] to the world market first, another 500,000 tons during
[00:06:31] November, and another 1 million tons after that.
[00:06:34] Another 3 million tons, Russia is supposed to supply, according to Trump,
[00:06:38] later, depending on the state of Russian oil refineries.
[00:06:41] The US Treasury immediately suspended American
[00:06:45] sanctions against Russian diesel fuel, all this, as Trump
[00:06:49] writes, is to reduce diesel prices for
[00:06:52] Americans.
[00:06:55] Putin did not give many comments after his conversation with Trump.
[00:06:59] The Kremlin only published his three-paragraph
[00:07:02] statement. Here is one of them. When
[00:07:05] discussing the state of affairs in the world energy sector, the Russian
[00:07:08] side confirmed its readiness to supply oil and not...
[00:07:42] We are very happy to receive it, we are very happy to
[00:07:44] receive it.
[00:07:49] Listen, we needed this, oil prices are already falling like
[00:07:53] a stone, so we are very happy to
[00:07:55] receive it.
[00:07:57] On Saturday night, when the first statements about the diesel deal were made, a new round
[00:08:01] of negotiations was underway in Miami, USA, between Trump's special envoys Kushner
[00:08:04] and Witkoff, with representatives of Ukraine, European
[00:08:08] countries and NATO, on Russia's war against Ukraine. And in
[00:08:11] particular. The United States threatened Ukraine with stopping intelligence
[00:08:15] data transfers if the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not stop attacking Russian oil refineries. At least, that's what
[00:08:18] two media outlets, Deutsche Welle
[00:08:22] and Financial Times, write, citing Ukrainian officials. But after
[00:08:26] the news of the diesel deal, the negotiations ended
[00:08:29] prematurely. Here's what Volodymyr
[00:08:31] Zelensky said. And at this very moment, when we are talking about
[00:08:35] peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel.
[00:08:39] This is, I don't know, it's millions, billions. This is an addition.
[00:08:42] money for this war, this is additional
[00:08:45] money for these sufferings against us,
[00:08:48] of course, it only fuels Putin and
[00:08:52] gives him the opportunity to fight even more.
[00:08:55] In any case, all this goes to the war against
[00:08:58] people, against Ukraine, against all
[00:09:01] of us. I believe that our
[00:09:04] team is simply being used as a
[00:09:08] cover, and this is certainly unfair, this is
[00:09:12] certainly...
[00:09:42] Russian strikes over 2 days claimed the lives of more than eighty civilians
[00:09:46] in Ukraine. The suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel
[00:09:50] fuel will provide Moscow with additional revenue to wage
[00:09:53] war. Now is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe
[00:09:56] will not do so. On Monday, EU foreign ministers intend
[00:10:00] to approve the largest package of sanctions since the beginning of the war, aimed
[00:10:04] against the Russian war machine.
[00:10:07] We will discuss Trump and Putin's diesel deal on our broadcast with Igor Lipsetz, Doctor of Economics,
[00:10:18] have not yet ended, they exist, as I know in Moscow, in Nizhny
[00:10:21] Novgorod, where is Putin going to get it?
[00:11:55] very weak, no such strong changes are visible
[00:11:58] to Americans, and these tankers have not arrived yet, whether they will arrive at all
[00:12:01] is unknown, but note that
[00:12:05] let's see the whole picture, and the picture looks like Russia is
[00:12:09] a country that used to export half of the diesel produced, because
[00:12:13] so much diesel is not needed, and for now on the contrary, it
[00:12:16] does not allow the export of diesel until, so, as far as we
[00:12:19] know, the ban on diesel exports has been extended until the end of
[00:12:22] October, only talks have begun, maybe we... Russia
[00:12:38] decided that it has reserves to supply, it sounds very funny,
[00:12:41] that's the second thing, so, that the US itself
[00:12:44] exports diesel, it has a fairly large volume of diesel
[00:12:48] exports, and this volume continues to go
[00:12:51] abroad, and all the time in the US last week, it was said that it would be
[00:12:55] necessary to limit diesel exports, to illuminate the market, that's much easier than waiting
[00:12:59] for tankers from Russia to crawl in, but Trump did
[00:13:02] not decide on that, because that would mean quarreling with oil companies, who would quarrel with
[00:13:06] oil companies, so of course, he continues
[00:13:09] to allow the export of diesel from the US on one hand, and on the other hand, he hopes that they will
[00:13:13] bring him a little diesel, and that will drastically change the situation, this is all
[00:13:17] of course, exclusively nonsense, just like in that movie he
[00:13:20] mentioned,
[00:13:25] Trump's words are based, for example, on what Putin tells
[00:13:28] him, when Putin promises him these supplies, is he deceiving
[00:13:32] Trump? Again, I think that the
[00:13:35] initiative here is not even from Putin, mm-hmm, the initiative
[00:13:38] comes from Trump, Trump needs to create
[00:13:42] an information occasion, and Putin says: yes, of course, we will supply, now
[00:13:45] in Russia the situation with diesel fuel has slightly eased for one simple reason,
[00:13:49] but here everything is not
[00:13:53] simple, but look, so. diesel,
[00:14:05] yes, on the other hand, in Russia now there is a problem, it may be an
[00:14:09] inter-industry one, but a very important one, in Russia now there is,
[00:14:12] well, how to say it, some excessive amount of summer
[00:14:15] diesel fuel, but anyone who drives diesel engines knows that
[00:14:18] there is summer and winter fuel, yes, so now in Russia there is
[00:14:21] a shortage of winter fuel, which now urgently needs to be...
[00:15:25] First of all, when you pronounce the phrase, Russia
[00:15:28] received money for LNG, this is
[00:15:31] an incorrect phrase, I should
[00:15:33] explain,
[00:15:37] Tikhi explains, let me also repeat, the companies
[00:15:40] that extract and produce liquefied gas in Russia
[00:15:44] received it, the Russian budget does not receive anything from this, because
[00:15:48] it is a private project that received tax benefits at one time,
[00:15:51] for a very long time, so the Russian budget does not receive anything from LNG exports,
[00:15:55] foreign companies receive a significant part of it,
[00:15:58] who invested in this project, a Russian company, but this money does not
[00:16:01] go to the war budget, that's the difference, right? You feel it, it was supposedly extracted in
[00:16:05] Russia, but Russia does not benefit from it, you need to understand this
[00:16:08] story, and if, so to speak, there is income from diesel
[00:16:11] exports, then from this income, oil companies pay taxes
[00:16:15] directly to the Russian budget, so the difference is quite
[00:16:18] noticeable even from a financial point of view.
[00:16:27] social networks, about how Russia is going to
[00:16:31] sell diesel, as Russian propaganda
[00:16:34] often articulates, in fact... always exported abroad, because Russia
[00:17:07] does not have such a large number of diesel vehicles,
[00:17:10] Russia does not have such a large number of ships that need marine
[00:17:14] diesel, so half was always exported, but attacks on refineries
[00:17:18] seem to have knocked out this half, so this crisis arose, when not only
[00:17:22] gasoline was banned from import, but also diesel fuel, it wasn't immediate,
[00:17:25] that's it, but now the situation is such that it will no longer affect
[00:17:29] the domestic market, the army is provided for, agricultural needs are
[00:17:32] reduced, because the harvest has been completed and now it needs to be disposed of.
[00:17:36] a deal with Russia, about
[00:18:37] the need to hold elections in Ukraine, Trump said twice in one day, according to
[00:18:41] him, the war started because of the incompetence of the authorities, and that
[00:18:44] Zelensky had many opportunities to stop the war, but he did not
[00:18:48] use them. Zelensky himself immediately
[00:18:51] reacted to these words, and I quote: with all due respect to
[00:18:54] Trump, it is up to the Ukrainian people to decide
[00:18:58] and choose this or that
[00:19:01] leader. End quote. On the American channel ABC,
[00:19:05] Zelensky said that elections during wartime.
[00:19:37] 54% of polled citizens do
[00:19:40] not trust 41. Two years ago, in September 2024, these
[00:19:44] indicators were similar, sociologists conclude that Zelensky
[00:19:47] maintains sufficiently high trust ratings and, accordingly,
[00:19:51] legitimacy as head of state. And journalists
[00:19:54] from the Agence France-Presse asked people on the streets of Kyiv what they
[00:19:58] thought of Trump's statement that Ukraine needs a new
[00:20:01] president. We are free people, we wanted this
[00:20:05] president, we elected him, and we don't have. another state, not America, not
[00:20:09] Belarus, not Russia, to tell us which president we should live with, to take
[00:20:12] Ukraine and throw it away, at such
[00:20:15] a difficult moment, well, there are simply not enough words
[00:20:18] to say
[00:20:21] all this, to say about all this, this is
[00:20:25] his some erroneous personal opinion, I believe that
[00:20:28] he does not help his state and
[00:20:32] himself personally in the parliamentary elections,
[00:20:35] he does the opposite. so that everyone will turn away from him,
[00:20:39] and not only from other
[00:20:42] countries, in his own country too, one of them, that Zelensky needs
[00:20:46] to be replaced, well, because in Ukraine the war has already been going on for the fourth
[00:20:50] year and nothing better awaits
[00:20:52] us
[00:20:54] in the future, in my opinion,
[00:20:58] worse. Now in
[00:21:06] you, as a person who knows what sentiments prevail in the office of the President
[00:21:10] of Ukraine, this exacerbation of relations between
[00:21:13] Ukraine and the United States. Could anyone on Bankova
[00:21:15] have expected this? Well, I can't say that I
[00:21:20] know the mood on Bankova very well,
[00:21:24] but of course, one can judge by Zelensky's own reaction,
[00:21:27] and by many other signs. On the one
[00:21:31] hand, something similar did not come as a surprise
[00:21:34] to Ukraine and to the President's office, because
[00:21:36] these Trumpian rollercoasters,
[00:21:40] Trumpian swings have happened repeatedly. There was
[00:21:43] a very sharp crisis in relations with Trump after the meeting in the Oval
[00:21:47] Office last year, there were several
[00:21:50] periods of cooling, there were various peace
[00:21:53] initiatives from the US that contradicted Ukrainian
[00:21:56] interests, but of course, what happened
[00:21:59] in such a form, such a direct diesel deal
[00:22:02] between Trump and Putin, especially against the background of the escalation
[00:22:06] of Russia's air war against Ukraine, against the background
[00:22:10] of civilian killings in recent days, this
[00:22:13] of course became an emotional shock for both Zelensky and for many
[00:22:17] Ukrainians.
[00:22:50] and Zelensky confirmed it, there will be at least a ceasefire, then
[00:22:54] elections will be possible. In fact, the topic
[00:22:57] of elections, or this, this
[00:23:01] statement by Trump that Ukraine needs a new president, is not the main
[00:23:05] problem for us, on the contrary, as paradoxical
[00:23:08] as it may seem, this may even help Zelensky
[00:23:10] domestically, because it may not be on a full
[00:23:14] scale, but it contributes to such a domestic
[00:23:18] patriotic consolidation. A year ago, or rather a year and a half
[00:23:21] ago, after the incident in the Oval Office, when
[00:23:25] Trump also, even more harshly and with insults,
[00:23:29] demanded the replacement of the President of Ukraine, what happened in
[00:23:32] Ukraine? A sharp surge in Zelensky's political
[00:23:35] ratings, the highest, by the way, in the last 3 years, was
[00:23:39] precisely then, after Trump's call. Ukrainians did not
[00:23:43] like it when they were told which president they
[00:23:46] needed, especially when this happens against the background
[00:23:50] of Russian actions and statements, well,
[00:23:53] they do not support Trump, who already does not have credibility in Ukraine,
[00:23:56] Ukrainians have many complaints, many
[00:23:59] questions, and sociological data show that after
[00:24:03] the war, there is a high probability that the president of Ukraine
[00:24:06] may be replaced, there are also strong competitors to
[00:24:10] Zelensky, this is also what sociology shows,
[00:24:13] but to follow
[00:24:16] Trump, whom Ukrainians do not trust and who is now...
[00:24:20] openly acting in Russia's interests, I think that such
[00:24:23] initiatives will not find support in Ukraine. Yes,
[00:24:26] well, actually, Trump's logic, judging by his statements,
[00:24:30] is to reduce fuel prices
[00:24:34] within the USA. Here,
[00:24:36] I wanted to ask you again,
[00:24:39] what should Ukraine do? To some extent,
[00:24:43] it is still dependent on weapons supplies produced
[00:24:47] in the USA, yes, now European
[00:24:50] countries seem to pay for it.
[00:24:53] Ukraine is dependent on American intelligence data,
[00:24:57] what to do? Will there be new diplomatic missions from European politicians to the White House, as
[00:25:01] before, when they went with Stoltenberg, Macron,
[00:25:04] Zelensky, when they all went to Trump together, will there be such
[00:25:08] an approach again? Look, well, you said it correctly,
[00:25:11] as I said, neither elections nor a proposal to replace the president
[00:25:14] is a problem for us, including for Zelensky, it's not
[00:25:17] a problem, it's...
[00:26:02] with Trump, we are ready to negotiate, we are ready to stop
[00:26:05] strikes on Russian oil refineries, if Russia does not strike
[00:26:09] Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Trump reiterated yesterday
[00:26:12] an energy truce. But where is
[00:26:16] this truce? Was an agreement signed?
[00:26:20] Did Russia stop striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure? No, we don't see that. Unfortunately,
[00:26:24] it's a fiction. As for intelligence sharing, in
[00:26:28] return, Americans receive a huge amount of intelligence
[00:26:31] data from Ukraine.
[00:27:32] to act with tied hands or to be, you know, such a submissive
[00:27:36] victim for Russia at the request of the United
[00:27:40] States, so an active campaign, active
[00:27:43] work in the USA, through our friends,
[00:27:47] partners, through American public opinion, including
[00:27:50] discrediting the so-called diesel deal, in
[00:27:54] fact, this deal will not have an effect, 300,000
[00:27:58] tons is less than daily consumption, and working together with
[00:28:01] European partners. Joint positions with Europe are also a way out of
[00:28:05] the situation. Vladimir, thank you very much. Today, the entire broadcast
[00:28:08] discusses this diesel deal between Trump and
[00:28:21] were killed and over 300 wounded in Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia's
[00:28:24] Riyadh airport. In the massive Saturday attack, citizens
[00:28:28] of Saudi Arabia, the USA, India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Syria and others were killed.
[00:28:33] On Sunday, the Houthis struck again, targeting terminals for
[00:28:36] domestic flights. On the same day, the airport near
[00:28:40] Dammam in the east of the country and two facilities of the oil company were attacked. According to
[00:28:44] calculations by the Associated Press, the Riyadh airport was hit
[00:28:47] four times in 5 days, the airport is closed, and schools in the city have switched
[00:28:51] to distance learning until the end of the week. The Houthis call their
[00:28:54] strikes a response to Saudi bombardments of Yemen. The
[00:28:58] Saudi-led coalition called the attack a war crime and promised
[00:29:02] retaliation.
[00:29:04] A man was arrested in Poland who may have been planning an assassination attempt on Prime Minister
[00:29:08] Donald Tusk and the head of the country's Ministry of Defense, Władysław
[00:29:11] Kosiniak-Kamysz. Tusk himself announced the arrest of a man around
[00:29:14] 60 years old on social media platform X. He thanked the police for their decisive
[00:29:18] actions. Currently, law enforcement is checking the man's
[00:29:22] contacts and his online activity. His house was searched.
[00:29:24] In September, Tusk warned that according to intelligence,
[00:29:28] Russia was planning hybrid attacks using drones and...
[00:29:32] against countries supporting Ukraine, I would add that Poland
[00:29:36] is one of Ukraine's main allies, the country is an important
[00:29:39] transit point for the delivery of military and humanitarian aid to
[00:29:43] Kyiv. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Warsaw
[00:29:46] has repeatedly accused Moscow of sabotage. The Kremlin
[00:29:49] denies
