The [00:00:47] Kremlin stated that contacts [00:01:00] Ukraine. Zelensky is ready to organize voting if Russia [00:01:03] agrees to a ceasefire for 2 months. The Kremlin rejected [00:01:07] the proposal. Attack of Ukrainian drones on Yandex [00:01:10] centers. Users in Russia complain about service failures. Equipment replacement may [00:01:13] take up to [00:01:16] six months. Technologies on the battlefield. How [00:01:19] artificial intelligence is used by the Ukrainian and Russian armies. [00:01:22] We will show [00:01:23] a special report. [00:01:28] A number of European countries, after negotiations between Kyiv and Washington, [00:01:32] expressed their support for Ukraine, in particular Poland, France, Germany [00:01:35] and Estonia. Ukraine called on partners to increase pressure on Russia, primarily [00:01:39] sanctions. However, the US insists that [00:01:42] the Ukrainian Armed Forces stop striking Russian oil refineries. Our correspondent, [00:01:46] Boris Sochalka, will talk about the demands [00:01:52] into force? [00:01:55] Hello, at the security forum in Poland, Ukrainian President Volodymyr. [00:03:08] He wants to create diesel fuel problems for our farmers, our cattle breeders, [00:03:12] because Russia supplies most of the diesel fuel, so he [00:03:16] better damn stop, and I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new [00:03:20] president. According to Volodymyr Zelensky, the news of [00:03:23] an energy truce came as a surprise to him. In his [00:03:27] evening address, he said that it is important that it is written. [00:04:30] I will note that after the night strikes today there have been no news of attacks on Ukrainian energy yet, [00:04:33] and another topic that has been actively discussed after Donald Trump's statement [00:04:37] is the elections in Ukraine, the conditions for [00:04:40] them, according to Volodymyr Zelensky - this is again [00:04:43] a truce. [00:04:46] Tell Putin: give us 2 months, 60 days of a complete [00:04:50] ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organize elections, [00:04:53] of course, we will be ready for any choice of our [00:04:56] people. And in the Kremlin refused to cease fire for... [00:05:00] 2 months, but admitted that they might not shoot for one day on the day [00:05:04] of voting, I don't think [00:05:07] he deserved a respite, I don't think we [00:05:11] once again... [00:05:42] it's just not good, it's, well it's a betrayal, in my opinion, it's a betrayal [00:05:46] of partners, but what about those guys who are defending us [00:05:49] now, how can they vote to elect even if [00:05:53] there is an option for a better [00:05:56] president, during a war it's impossible to do by [00:05:59] law, by the constitution of Ukraine, and [00:06:02] secondly, I don't see now another, another [00:06:05] candidate for president of Ukraine, and [00:06:09] thirdly, it's not his business. It's not within his [00:06:13] competence, the Ukrainian people [00:06:15] should decide this. [00:06:22] Political scientist Vladimir Fisenko is sure that the topic of elections is even [00:06:26] beneficial to Volodymyr Zelensky, why he explained it using [00:06:30] the example of the last similar case? [00:06:34] A year ago, or rather a year and a half ago, after the incident in [00:06:37] the Oval Office, when Trump also, even [00:06:41] more harshly... [00:07:12] with Donald Trump, and meanwhile the EU approved the twenty-second [00:07:16] package of sanctions against Russia, it included 1,500 [00:07:37] result of a Russian army strike, local residents suggest that [00:07:41] the target of the attack could have been... Russia [00:08:12] killed three people, civilian infrastructure, residential buildings [00:08:17] and commercial real estate were damaged. The authorities urged local residents [00:08:20] not to pick up drone debris themselves, but only [00:08:23] to inform emergency services about them. Among the surviving debris [00:08:26] there may be explosive [00:08:28] substances. [00:08:31] As a result of drone attacks on Yandex data centers, [00:08:34] at least 10 company services are experiencing failures. For [00:08:37] several days, drones attacked data centers in [00:08:41] Vladimir and Ryazan. [00:08:43] It may take several months to restore them, with details from Artyom [00:08:47] Filatov. On the second day after the drone [00:08:50] attack on the Yandex data center in Vladimir, the company's [00:08:54] services continue to operate with limitations. Users [00:08:57] complain about failures in Jandex Go, Yandex [00:09:00] Lavka, Yandex Eda and other applications. I open [00:09:04] Yandex Music and want to click on the text, right? It [00:09:07] gives out this text. Problems in the system also [00:09:11] persist. [00:09:42] The ordered driver is on his way, nothing was displayed further, also [00:09:46] drivers reported serious failures in the Yandex.Taxi application: [00:09:49] There is no Yandex at all, [00:09:53] it is impossible to turn it on, sometimes [00:09:56] they turn it on, something like appears, and then everything [00:09:59] disappears. The problems affected third-party platforms that use [00:10:03] Yandex cloud infrastructure, in particular, users of the [00:10:06] Cian website continue to report failures, [00:10:09] as well as the Vkusvill and Apteka.ru applications. Yandex [00:10:13] did not name the full recovery [00:10:15] times for its services, but promised to complete the [00:10:19] work as soon as possible. Engineers are primarily [00:10:22] restoring services that are used by the most people. [00:10:25] Work continues to make all services available in full in all [00:10:29] regions as soon as possible. Last week, three of [00:10:32] Yandex's six data centers in Vladimir, Ryazan region [00:10:36] and Kaluga were attacked. As Kommersant writes today, it [00:10:40] may take up to 6 months to replace the equipment that failed as a [00:10:43] result of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' strikes, and Yandex will have to purchase [00:10:47] new equipment at the highest prices in recent years. [00:10:50] Strikes on Yandex affect its [00:10:53] reputation as a reliable service provider, including in [00:10:56] countries neighboring Russia, say IT experts. I [00:11:00] think this was a quite indicative story, especially for countries [00:11:04] like Kazakhstan, Armenia, which are very dependent on [00:11:08] Yandex.Taxi, Yandex Maps, mmm, [00:11:11] but for Yandex, of course, this means [00:11:15] that there will probably be no more expansion, but [00:11:18] of course, it will be the opposite, a shrinking space [00:11:21] of influence and foreign [00:11:25] users from services that have already [00:11:27] failed once like this. [00:11:31] Last night, the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not strike Yandex infrastructure; in total, [00:11:35] 151 Ukrainian drones were shot down over Russian regions and [00:11:39] annexed Crimea, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported. [00:11:41] The Rostov region was also attacked. According to [00:11:45] the Astro publication, the oil terminal that was [00:11:49] attacked on the night of October 10 is still burning. [00:11:53] Artyom Filatov. [00:12:00] In Russia, due to the threat of Ukrainian drone attacks, temporary restrictions were imposed at [00:12:04] all four Moscow airports, which led to massive [00:12:07] flight delays. People stood in lines for several hours, [00:12:10] details below, situation [00:12:13] and circumstances, Vnukovo [00:12:17] airport, all flights [00:12:20] are canceled, we just [00:12:23] can't fly out. Flights at Moscow [00:12:26] airports began to be canceled on Friday, that day air defense forces shot down [00:12:30] 15 drones on approach to Moscow, [00:12:33] Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. Temporary [00:12:36] restrictions were in effect at Vnukovo, [00:12:39] Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports. Flights had to be [00:12:42] redirected. [00:12:51] The disruption in airport operations continued over the weekend. On Sunday [00:12:55] morning, the Krasnodar Territory operational headquarters reported [00:12:58] the fall of drone debris on the territory of Sochi Airport and [00:13:02] a fire in one of the administrative buildings. At night, drones [00:13:06] also attacked the federal territory of Sirius. The attack [00:13:09] has been going on for the second hour, the second time in my life I have to stand in [00:13:13] the entrance, because it's really unsafe, friends. Some [00:13:16] passengers, after many hours of waiting, bought tickets for [00:13:20] new flights. And we can't fly out for almost the third [00:13:23] day now. [00:13:55] First they wanted to put us in a hotel, now they changed their mind, [00:13:58] they said we are refueling, after refueling they [00:14:02] told us, wait for another answer from [00:14:05] ground transport, soon we will go on [00:14:09] cockroaches, finding hotels became a problem [00:14:13] for many, according to Russian rules, the carrier is obliged to provide [00:14:16] a hotel for free if passengers wait for boarding to begin for more than 8 [00:14:20] hours during the day or more than six at night, transfer [00:14:24] to the hotel and [00:14:26] back should be organized, the room stock is limited for the [00:14:29] airline, unfortunately, your airline rebooked you for the next flight [00:14:33] based on seat availability, that is, it fulfilled [00:14:37] its obligation. Airports [00:14:41] are much less protected than oil refineries or power plants, says [00:14:44] Alexander Lonetsky, director of the consulting company Friendly Aviaport. [00:14:48] Airports themselves are a very fragile, poorly protected [00:14:51] infrastructure facility that is very easy [00:14:55] to disable or at least, [00:14:58] well, perhaps the most appropriate word is to frighten, [00:15:02] to frighten and knock it [00:15:06] out of its normal rhythm of work, so far we have heard [00:15:09] more threats than real, well, real [00:15:12] actions, but if strikes are indeed inflicted, [00:15:15] then this will paralyze all air traffic, at least in [00:15:19] the European part, it will completely paralyze it. In 9 [00:15:22] months of 2026, compared to the similar [00:15:25] period last year, flights were canceled twice as often, [00:15:29] write Kommersant journalists, citing AlfaStrakhovanie insurance company. According to [00:15:33] the company's estimate, based on the average capacity of aircraft, during this [00:15:36] period more than 7.5 million passengers waited for departure longer than [00:15:40] 3 hours, which is about 2 and a half times more than in [00:15:44] the same period of 2025. [00:15:46] 2025 [00:15:48] year. [00:15:51] Russian and Ukrainian armies use weapons on the battlefield that [00:15:55] operate with artificial intelligence. These are autonomous combat [00:15:58] systems, drones, missiles and control complexes. Our [00:16:01] correspondent, Andrei Kuzakov, spoke with Ukrainian military personnel and [00:16:05] drone manufacturers about how the technology works and how [00:16:08] it should be controlled. "Chicks class," [00:16:11] that's how the pilot of a Ukrainian drone from [00:16:15] the 154th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces comments on [00:16:18] the interception of a Russian Shahed. The operator watched [00:16:22] the air battle and barely interfered; his [00:16:26] drone did almost everything itself. This is one of the weapon samples into which [00:16:29] artificial intelligence has been integrated. This [00:16:33] drone can independently [00:16:35] lock onto a target, find it, [00:16:39] catch up, destroy it, you may not even [00:16:43] see this target, but artificial intelligence sees [00:16:47] it from about a kilometer away and already guides [00:16:50] you with a square. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reported that [00:16:53] the armed forces are already using over seventy different [00:16:57] systems with artificial intelligence and machine vision. [00:17:01] Ground robotic complexes (GRCs) with machine guns and [00:17:05] integrated AI are already... [00:17:37] In July, such a drone killed civilians for the first time, the [00:17:41] New York Times reported. It was a Russian lightning strike that [00:17:45] attacked a gas station in Zaporizhzhia. Among the debris [00:17:48] they found an onboard mini-computer, NVIDIA. It is responsible for [00:17:52] the operation of artificial intelligence. Well, how did [00:17:55] that happen? Drones were sent [00:17:59] through the network, with cameras on their necks, [00:18:02] a specific task was set, to search [00:18:05] for... well, how a gas station looks, what's [00:18:09] around it, everything, it flew, took photos, [00:18:13] immediately sent the photo it needed, you don't sit, [00:18:16] it sends with coordinates, after that [00:18:19] it is processed, well it is already being used, built into [00:18:22] drones or missiles, the chip with artificial intelligence [00:18:26] is constantly trained by a person, datasets, what is that, [00:18:29] it is many, many photos and [00:18:32] videos, for example, of one object, and then you [00:18:36] sit down. A person sits down, [00:18:39] a specialist, takes this photograph and marks, [00:18:43] this is a Zhiguli, it cannot be hit, [00:18:46] this is an armored personnel carrier, [00:18:50] it can be hit. An agreement on [00:18:53] how to control autonomous weapon systems [00:18:56] is currently being discussed at the UN. American and Russian [00:18:59] diplomats removed from the draft a clause on mandatory [00:19:03] human target verification. The Washington [00:19:06] Post wrote about this. [00:19:28] through their legislative norms restrict the development of this, then, for example, such a monster as China does not restrict it, [00:19:30] and then it gives the opportunity for the development of this [00:19:34] artificial without, well, control. Drones [00:20:08] independently killed several Russian soldiers near [00:20:12] Bakhmut without communication with the operator. Drone [00:20:15] manufacturer Alexander Kokhanovsky called this an experiment that [00:20:19] did not continue. In combat conditions, the decision [00:20:22] remains with the human, insist the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, [00:20:26] but the technology is being actively developed at testing grounds. [00:20:30] You put the drone chip on a "zhdun" [waiting person], and [00:20:33] that's it, you don't touch it. And [00:20:36] if someone passes at a distance [00:20:40] of more than 500 meters, and it sees it, the camera [00:20:44] reads it, it lifts itself up and works on [00:20:46] the target itself, without an operator, without an operator. We [00:20:50] recently showed [00:20:53] the Bundeswehr and Americans came to [00:20:55] Germany to see these models, and it tracks, [00:20:59] searches for what the operator told it to search for, [00:21:02] this, this, this point, this [00:21:06] flag, this dugout, and [00:21:09] there is no longer any connection with the operator, it searches, searches, searches, and [00:21:12] found it, struck. Roman, Myron and Sova continue to cover [00:21:16] the Ukrainian sky with their AI-powered drones. [00:21:55] of restricting visas for Russian tourists, military personnel, and possibly [00:21:58] athletes. The issue was discussed today at a meeting [00:22:01] of the foreign ministers of the European Union countries. Our European [00:22:04] correspondent Elena Abramovich will provide the details. After [00:22:07] the incident with a Russian drone found with explosives at [00:22:11] Leipzig Airport, the European Union decided to return to the issue [00:22:14] of restricting the entry of Russian citizens into the Schengen area, as well as [00:22:18] additional restrictions for diplomats. Earlier this year, [00:22:21] employees of Russian diplomatic missions in the EU were already obliged to [00:22:25] notify another country where they are going if they travel outside [00:22:28] the state where they work. Now they want [00:22:31] a Russian diplomat, for example, in Brussels, when traveling to [00:22:35] Berlin or Paris, not just to notify, but to ask [00:22:38] for permission to visit a neighboring state, and could [00:22:42] be refused. This is still an idea, it is being [00:22:45] discussed by the ministers today for the first time. [00:22:48] The [00:23:20] issue has long been promoted by Poland and the Baltic states, and they are also [00:23:23] seeking restrictions on entry for military personnel who fought in [00:23:26] Ukraine. [00:23:30] Last year, Schengen countries issued 650,000 [00:23:33] tourist visas to Russian citizens, which is something we can no longer [00:23:36] allow. Estonia also proposed a sanctions regime, and [00:23:40] the European Commission supported this initiative. Now it is trying to find [00:23:43] a way to implement it, to ban entry for former combatants. [00:23:47] Countries with the most Russian tourists, [00:23:50] France and Italy, are against restrictions. [00:23:54] French diplomats believe that Russians should not be left in [00:23:57] complete isolation. Diplomats from northern and eastern countries [00:24:01] argue that Rome and Paris simply do not want to lose tourism [00:24:04] revenue. Due to the position of these countries, the European Union last [00:24:08] summer failed to agree on a complete ban on entry for Russian [00:24:12] military personnel. Instead, the twenty-first package of sanctions [00:24:16] gave the European Commission a mandate to develop a mechanism. [00:24:51] The problem with banning visas for combatants was the limited [00:24:55] number of European state employees in consulates in [00:24:58] Russia, because each visa application needs to be thoroughly [00:25:01] checked. Moreover, among consulate staff there are many [00:25:05] Russian citizens, and Russian authorities threatened them with legal [00:25:08] prosecution if they demanded documents about military [00:25:12] service, say diplomats. The task of [00:25:14] restricting visas for Russian athletes may become simpler; [00:25:18] there are much fewer of them, and they are easier to check, but this is still just [00:25:22] an idea that arose in some countries in response to [00:25:25] the return of Russian citizens to international competitions. [00:25:29] The Russian and Iranian foreign ministries, in response to all these steps, accused the European Union of [00:25:32] hypocrisy and double standards. And in response to [00:25:36] restrictions on the movement of diplomats, Moscow responded with reciprocal [00:25:39] measures. This summer, diplomats from EU states were [00:25:43] required to additionally report on crossing [00:25:57] banned the supply of a number of goods from Georgia. [00:26:00] This statement was made by the parliament speaker. [00:26:03] On October 10, it became known that Russia introduced temporary restrictions on [00:26:06] the import and sale of some Georgian drinks, including alcoholic ones, [00:26:10] citing a decision of the Eurasian Economic Commission. [00:26:14] The official reason is non-compliance of products with established requirements, [00:26:17] for example, in terms of color or taste or chemical [00:26:20] composition. This is surprising, the reasons are unclear [00:26:24] to us, so the authorities will, of course, look into this issue, [00:26:27] we'll see, we hope that this decision will be changed, because in [00:26:31] this case it is unclear to us on what basis it was adopted. The [00:26:34] interpretations we heard from different sides are separate [00:26:38] interpretations, while we have not heard any [00:26:41] official justifications. The Ministry of Agriculture of Georgia has the opportunity [00:26:45] to clarify this issue with the Russian [00:26:47] Federation. [00:26:50] In total, products from four large wine and brandy producers, [00:26:54] one brewing company, as well as products from the Coca-Cola [00:26:57] plant and a mineral water producer were subject to sanitary [00:27:00] restrictions. Russian trade. [00:27:22] He believes that it, quote, has nothing to do with [00:27:26] product quality. End of [00:27:27] quote. [00:27:30] The Nobel laureates in... [00:27:34] this year were Americans Robert Hall and Michael Woodford, they received the award [00:27:38] for, quote, microeconomic foundations [00:27:41] of macroeconomic stabilization, in simple words, economists linked [00:27:45] the behavior of an individual or firm, that is, [00:27:48] microeconomics, with how the entire economy of a country [00:27:52] works and taught the state to save markets from severe [00:27:54] crises. Michael Woodford mathematically described [00:27:58] how the Central Bank, through its statements and changes in [00:28:01] rates, can calm people and businesses, keeping [00:28:04] inflation at a stable level. Thanks to [00:28:07] Robert Hall's research, governments understood how to properly [00:28:10] support citizens during crises and how to regulate the labor [00:28:14] market to get people back to work faster after economic [00:28:18] downturns. Hall and Woodford gave [00:28:21] states and central banks precise mathematical tools [00:28:24] that allow economic crises today to pass with [00:28:28] fewer losses for ordinary people, and inflation does not [00:28:31] turn into [00:29:28] in Northern Europe, there is Crimea, so Shaheds also fly from there. [00:29:34] And during the court hearing an unexpected [00:29:37] detail emerged: thousands of people took to the streets of [00:29:39] Tbilisi, [00:29:43] Western sports brands almost failed to escape from Russia. [00:30:22] I don't think he deserved a break, the aerial [00:30:26] truce turned out to be air, why neither [00:30:29] Russia nor Ukraine is going for it? [00:30:36] From this moment the energy truce - [00:30:39] wrote on his social network Trushial US President Donald Trump. [00:30:43] The moment was Sunday evening. But on Monday [00:30:46] morning, Ukrainian authorities reported a Russian [00:30:49] strike on one of Ukraine's [00:30:51] power plants. [00:30:54] Immediately after President Trump's publication on Truth Social, [00:30:58] Russia launched a pinpoint.
