[00:00:00] operations, offensive operations Vivaldi
[00:00:03] has ended, what is happening
[00:00:06] now, that is, are we in the process
[00:00:09] of Vivaldi's fourth season, or
[00:00:12] the fourth part of Vivaldi's
[00:00:15] offensive operation, or are there other tasks
[00:00:19] facing our defense forces that
[00:00:22] are working in the Lyman direction, and in particular
[00:00:26] regarding your drone battalion Mara.
[00:00:31] I hope that our seasons will continue even
[00:00:35] more successfully, and quite soon we will see
[00:00:39] Ukraine with all its
[00:00:41] territory that belongs to us by right. As for
[00:00:45] the enemy, after the enemy
[00:00:49] was forced to report the real state of affairs to their command, they
[00:00:52] began to penetrate more actively
[00:00:55] in small groups, trying to infiltrate from
[00:00:59] all directions, but mostly these are small
[00:01:03] assault groups, they simply with their own
[00:01:06] infantry units,
[00:01:09] try to close those sections of the front, infiltrate,
[00:01:13] fight their way in, show on the map that they are
[00:01:16] present there, but considering that the kill zone has increased,
[00:01:19] considering that our defense forces have entrenched themselves
[00:01:23] in the Lyman direction, in particular our 66th brigade,
[00:01:27] противника це дуже погано виходить, чому ми...
[00:01:30] are undoubtedly happy about. They withdraw their forces,
[00:01:33] units, deploy them, but
[00:01:36] the fact of how massively and professionally
[00:01:40] Ukraine is winning this war with fewer resources,
[00:01:44] well, I think it is very indicative that
[00:01:47] the Russian people should finally wake up,
[00:01:51] stop lying to themselves, stop thinking that they are
[00:01:54] a superpower and simply change
[00:01:58] their government and, first of all, their way of thinking, because they can
[00:02:02] come to Ukraine, but they will stay here forever
[00:02:05] just as Cargo 200.
[00:02:08] Ms. Olena, your brigade's drone operators showed how they hunt
[00:02:12] enemy Bayraktars "Lightning". What is the current
[00:02:15] specifics of this hunt and in that
[00:02:19] context, yes, which is in the Lyman
[00:02:22] direction?
[00:02:24] Lightning carries a very large powerful combat
[00:02:27] force, and Lightning is usually what flies to
[00:02:31] front-line cities, where resources and a city that is not
[00:02:34] on their working map,
[00:02:37] as their territory, simply becomes a city
[00:02:41] pretext, it is extremely cruel,
[00:02:45] it is a violation of all rules of war, so the enemy
[00:02:48] must be pushed, pushed on the front,
[00:02:51] pushed economically, but this will not change the
[00:02:55] fact that they will continue to lie to each other and
[00:02:58] deceive, and eventually... that his whole operation in
[00:03:01] Yevvaldi, everything that the Ukrainian defense forces do, it
[00:03:05] happens so correctly and
[00:03:08] so professionally, only because there is direct interaction
[00:03:12] between the commanders of infantry units at
[00:03:15] their positions and those who directly
[00:03:18] carry out operational control of the units, because
[00:03:22] the more honestly you show each other the state of affairs, the
[00:03:26] more effectively your work on the front is done.
[00:03:30] Ms. Olena, please tell me, are the Russians managing
[00:03:34] to recover from these
[00:03:36] Vivaldi seasons that the Ukrainian
[00:03:39] defense forces are currently demonstrating, how much have they already
[00:03:43] come to their senses from this special operation,
[00:03:46] or let's not call it a special operation, an offensive operation,
[00:03:50] and are there already any
[00:03:53] results of this offensive operation
[00:03:56] that, in principle, the Russians cannot
[00:04:00] fix, and in principle they have lost
[00:04:03] the initiative in some areas of the front, and
[00:04:06] accordingly, obviously, this greatly affects the entire front line,
[00:04:10] the eastern front,
[00:04:14] the fact that they have become more demoralized is
[00:04:16] a fact, the fact that they have a large resource that they are pulling
[00:04:20] here, and their military personnel have no
[00:04:23] possibility not to execute an order, is also a fact, that is, Russia
[00:04:27] plays with those levers where they simply... with people,
[00:04:31] with their people, cover those areas of the front where they
[00:04:34] are really losing, they also rotate their
[00:04:38] forces, withdraw units, deploy
[00:04:41] them, but the fact
[00:04:44] of how massively and professionally Ukraine is winning this
[00:04:48] war with fewer resources, well, I think
[00:04:51] it is very indicative that the Russian people should finally
[00:04:55] wake up, stop lying to themselves,
[00:04:59] stop thinking that they are a
[00:05:02] superpower and simply change
[00:05:05] their government and, first of all, their way of thinking, because they can come to Ukraine, but they
[00:05:09] will stay here forever just as
[00:05:12] Cargo 200. Ms. Olena, your brigade's drone operators
[00:05:16] showed how they hunt enemy Bayraktars
[00:05:19] "Lightning". What is the current specifics of this
[00:05:23] hunt and in that context, yes, which
[00:05:26] is in the Lyman direction?
[00:05:30] Lightning carries a very large powerful combat
[00:05:33] force, and Lightning is usually what flies to
[00:05:37] front-line cities, where people continue to live, so
[00:05:40] the task of our brigade... and in particular, to destroy all
[00:05:44] these enemy UAVs on their approach
[00:05:47] to front-line cities. First
[00:05:50] of all, this work becomes so significant
[00:05:53] due to the great professionalism of the pilots, because the lightning
[00:05:57] is more maneuverable and faster than the means by which
[00:06:00] it is shot down, it is the skill, the experience
[00:06:03] of the pilot, and it is the desire of every
[00:06:07] serviceman of our brigade to bring victory
[00:06:10] closer, plus it is not worth it. forgetting that there are large
[00:06:14] workshops of people who improve every
[00:06:17] aircraft that
[00:06:20] shoots down everything that flies from the Russian
[00:06:24] Federation, from the occupied territories, to our cities.
[00:06:28] Thank you, Ms. Olena, for your conversation and your
[00:06:31] comments. This was Olena Rozvadovska, Chief of
[00:06:35] Staff of the Mara Drone Battalion, 66th
[00:06:38] Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Prince Mstislav.
[00:06:42] Good, we talked to her about the situation in the Lyman
[00:06:45] direction, the offensive operation in Vivaldi continues, well
[00:06:49] and accordingly we were interested to hear how
[00:06:52] the Russians react to this
[00:06:55] offensive operation and how it affects the eastern
[00:06:58] front, and of course, we will continue
[00:07:01] to talk about the important
[00:07:05] situation on the front, but now we will talk
[00:07:09] about the global situation. about what is happening in the world, in particular in
[00:07:12] the United States of America and in Washington.
[00:07:16] Yuriy Bohdanov, political scientist, expert
[00:07:19] in strategic communications and partner
[00:07:23] of the Truman company,
[00:07:32] principle, the top news that Donald Trump produced,
[00:07:36] but for now this news is not
[00:07:39] confirmed, only Ukraine confirms it,
[00:07:42] Russia claims that Russia and
[00:07:46] Ukraine agreed to an immediate energy truce, this statement
[00:07:50] was made in the evening of October 11 in Ukraine,
[00:07:53] meaning, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy has already managed
[00:07:56] to react to this statement, he said that
[00:08:00] Ukraine is ready not to strike Russian
[00:08:03] energy infrastructure, and we expect similar readiness from Russia. Let's listen to what
[00:08:07] the Ukrainian president said.
[00:08:11] There is a statement from the President of the States that
[00:08:14] an energy ceasefire has been achieved. This
[00:08:18] is good news for everyone. It is important that
[00:08:21] this becomes part of reality. Ukraine
[00:08:25] supports all real and reliable formats
[00:08:28] for a ceasefire and an end to the
[00:08:30] war. Ukraine is ready not to strike
[00:08:34] Russian energy infrastructure and
[00:08:37] we count on similar readiness
[00:08:40] from Russia. And on the agreement of the President
[00:08:44] of the United States of America, regarding this,
[00:08:47] we, we welcome such
[00:08:49] an agreement,
[00:08:52] a representative of the White House in an interview with Axios has already said, unnamed, anonymous, that
[00:08:56] an energy truce in
[00:08:59] Trump's understanding means that Russia and Ukraine
[00:09:02] will stop attacks only on oil refineries
[00:09:06] of each other, and that is what is expected from Ukraine, well, in this
[00:09:10] case it sounds a bit strange when Ukraine has
[00:09:13] one refinery and that one is not working, Kremenchuk,
[00:09:16] and it is clear that in this case
[00:09:19] Trump is selling some candy wrapper, where there
[00:09:22] is actually no candy, but he shows
[00:09:26] this wrapper to everyone, is that
[00:09:28] so, well, how it
[00:09:31] seems to me, of course, Donald Trump, because
[00:09:34] I remind you that he has already ended the war against
[00:09:38] Iran about 98 times, and
[00:09:41] with his victory, of course, which doesn't smell like it, as they say,
[00:09:45] it seems to me that all this Trump's hysteria that we have been observing in recent days, it
[00:09:48] literally demonstrates two things: first, that
[00:09:51] he is in a very bad position in the elections, that is, he
[00:09:55] obviously loses to the Democrats, and for him it will be
[00:09:58] a catastrophe if he loses both
[00:10:01] chambers of Congress, accordingly,
[00:10:04] this is actually total power, and I
[00:10:07] think that considering his activities, the threat of impeachment
[00:10:10] is already there, secondly, it is obvious that
[00:10:12] he convinced himself, or the Russians convinced him, here it is
[00:10:16] already a matter of such, well, and he trusts Putin very much,
[00:10:20] that literally Ukrainian strikes on... interfere
[00:10:23] with
[00:10:26] him winning the elections,
[00:10:29] such a quite convenient for him wishful thinking, that is, not his
[00:10:33] talentless politics interferes, but the fact that Ukrainians hit Russian
[00:10:37] oil, and accordingly this is superimposed by a dislike for
[00:10:41] Ukraine, and we know that Donald Trump is not exactly a big fan of our
[00:10:44] country, because he obviously prefers
[00:10:48] dictatorships, like Putin's, for example, and this is what we
[00:10:51] see, as Roman Shrike would say,
[00:10:55] let's say what he said, but such a stream of absolute wild
[00:10:58] nonsense from Trump, and these
[00:11:01] this proposal
[00:11:04] "let's have an energy truce" - this will be what we tell you will be a truce, no,
[00:11:08] of course, Ukraine will not approve of this, Zelenskyy very clearly,
[00:11:11] it seems to me, outlined what exactly we consider an Antarctic
[00:11:14] truce, I think that one way or another
[00:11:18] the strikes will continue, both Ukrainian on Russia, and Russian on
[00:11:21] Ukraine, if honestly, at this moment I don't see any
[00:11:25] serious arguments from Donald Trump that could convince
[00:11:28] Ukraine to abandon strikes on Russia, his threats that he will not sell
[00:11:32] us weapons, well, excuse me, if we
[00:11:35] weigh what is more valuable for us, obviously now destroying
[00:11:39] Russian military capability is much more valuable, because Trump sells
[00:11:42] crumbs, and in fact we understand
[00:11:46] that we need to endure these three weeks diplomatically,
[00:11:50] politically, because after that the situation for Trump will sharply worsen, we
[00:11:53] see how hard his specific speakers tried, even
[00:11:57] yesterday's Trumpists,
[00:12:00] who supported Trump throughout the war, who supported even
[00:12:03] his most idiotic statements regarding the idea of a deal with Putin
[00:12:06] are quite skeptical. Laura Loomer can be
[00:12:10] quoted, who literally said that sponsoring Putin is
[00:12:13] sponsoring Iran, sponsoring Iran is sponsoring the killing of American
[00:12:17] soldiers. It seems to me that this is, so
[00:12:20] to speak, a big mistake by Trump, and we
[00:12:23] mainly, considering that in some matters we
[00:12:27] depend, must very carefully
[00:12:29] maneuver so that we endure until the elections, after the elections, I
[00:12:33] think, the Trump administration will behave a little differently,
[00:12:36] plus in six days there will be a turning
[00:12:40] point regarding the Dmitriev
[00:12:43] law, and, oh my God, Dmitriev, Graham
[00:12:46] Blumenthal, I'm already confusing Americans and Russians, it seems not
[00:12:50] very strange in these circumstances, and maybe then we
[00:12:54] will see that... well, a wave from Congress, from the House
[00:12:57] of Representatives and the Senate, regarding pressure on Trump, plus yesterday there was a statement
[00:13:01] from congressmen from both chambers that they will
[00:13:04] register, well, a resolution, so to speak, to
[00:13:08] block Trump's actions, in short, we will observe, our
[00:13:11] main task here is not to concede on principle, of course, no
[00:13:15] truce for the oil refinery, in exchange for the oil refinery, we should
[00:13:18] not agree, what can be here,
[00:13:21] we need to live these two weeks, first of all, until the elections and... until
[00:13:25] the election results, and what else to expect, what statements from
[00:13:28] Trump, that's a big question. Currently there is a reaction from the European
[00:13:32] Union, they said that they support Ukraine's call for
[00:13:35] an energy truce, Ursula von der Leyen, in particular, said
[00:13:38] this, and Macron, the President of France, said that
[00:13:41] France unreservedly supports the call for
[00:13:44] a real energy truce, to which Ukraine is ready
[00:13:48] to agree. Is Russia ready
[00:13:51] for a real truce, an energy one, if not an oil refinery for an
[00:13:54] oil refinery? Because it is obvious that Ukraine is not profitable here, or can anything
[00:13:57] be profitable here for Russia, or is actually none
[00:14:01] of these formats or options currently profitable for
[00:14:04] Russia?
[00:14:06] Vladimir Putin can agree, perhaps, to a truce that will help
[00:14:10] his friend Trump, that is, conditionally to stop firing for two weeks,
[00:14:14] it is obvious that Putin is betting heavily on the escalation of anti-Ukrainian
[00:14:17] energy, it is obvious that he is betting heavily on the fact that with such
[00:14:21] strikes he will be able to achieve the goals
[00:14:23] of the war, and... and break the Ukrainian rear, because it is obvious that
[00:14:27] he cannot break the Ukrainian front, but he can try to break the Ukrainian rear,
[00:14:31] this may be Putin's logic, as for, and accordingly I do not see
[00:14:34] reasons why he will stop his strikes for the winter, it is obvious that they
[00:14:38] are very important for him, therefore, and plus,
[00:14:41] again, he is probing escalation against the Baltic countries, he is trying
[00:14:45] to find other ways to pressure
[00:14:48] Ukraine, it is obvious that he will not agree to an energy
[00:14:52] truce in the near future, nor to any other. And in
[00:14:55] principle, yesterday many tried to criticize Zelenskyy for saying
[00:14:59] that if we get 60 days of peace we will hold elections, but here
[00:15:02] the question is that it is obvious that this is Trump's
[00:15:06] mirroring, he tells Trump, "Trump, well, convince your friend
[00:15:09] Putin to give up
[00:15:13] the war for two months, and you will have elections," but
[00:15:16] we perfectly understand, and the president perfectly understands that there will be no truce
[00:15:20] for 60 days, because for Putin this is an extremely dangerous story,
[00:15:24] obviously and... Considering that he is trying
[00:15:27] to escalate against Europe, against Ukraine. In the rear,
[00:15:30] he launches billions of his bots, although already, thanks to Twitter, on
[00:15:34] Yandex, much less, which says that we must urgently
[00:15:37] surrender and flee our country, but it is obvious that he
[00:15:41] does not expect any de-escalation, so the only thing that
[00:15:44] Putin can try to do thanks to Trump, who is obviously
[00:15:47] intellectually not very
[00:15:50] capable, is to pressure Ukraine so
[00:15:53] that Ukraine is blamed for the war continuing. This is obviously
[00:15:57] the plan that Vladimir Putin is pushing, and
[00:16:01] no reconciliation, truce, or anything else
[00:16:04] is currently in sight, honestly, I really don't know what
[00:16:08] Trump needs to do to finally understand this quite
[00:16:12] obvious truth, that is, well, we are really very sorry
[00:16:15] that the American president is such as he is, that is, he does not really understand
[00:16:18] elementary things, but nevertheless, yes, he continues
[00:16:22] to believe in something that definitely will not happen, and there will be no truce, there will
[00:16:26] be no reconciliation, and at the moment, Putin
[00:16:29] will continue his war, because he doesn't have many
[00:16:33] other options, he either has to win this
[00:16:36] war, or... there will be many questions why he is still on
[00:16:39] as president of Russia, and I think that today
[00:16:43] there are no opportunities for
[00:16:46] the conflict to be ended. Mr. Yuriy, you have already mentioned
[00:16:50] the remark, or Trump's
[00:16:53] statement, that it's time for Ukraine
[00:16:56] to get a new president of Ukraine who will be able
[00:17:00] to negotiate with Russia, and let's say that this statement was made
[00:17:04] immediately after Zelenskyy commented on
[00:17:07] Trump's actions regarding diesel fuel
[00:17:11] that is going to the United
[00:17:14] States of America, or is going, let's say
[00:17:17] so, across the ocean from Russia. Let's hear what
[00:17:21] the President of the United States of America said about the upcoming
[00:17:25] presidential elections in Ukraine and how
[00:17:28] necessary they are
[00:17:29] for Ukrainians.
[00:17:33] I told him: do whatever you want, but don't touch
[00:17:36] the oil refineries. There are countless other targets, and yet he
[00:17:39] took this step and strikes, this has
[00:17:42] cascading consequences, his actions will affect not only our
[00:17:46] farmers or livestock breeders, they will affect the whole world, this must
[00:17:50] be stopped, he better stop.
[00:17:53] Ukraine needs a new leader who is capable of making
[00:17:56] a deal. Zelenskyy had many opportunities to agree,
[00:18:00] but for some reason he never did
[00:18:02] that. President Zelenskyy replied, if
[00:18:06] there is a truce for 60 days, during this time Ukraine can hold elections,
[00:18:09] although according to current legislation this is impossible, because there
[00:18:13] is a 90-day period for holding elections, and these elections
[00:18:17] cannot be held if there is martial law, that is,
[00:18:20] a state of martial law in Ukraine, or
[00:18:24] martial law. How to decipher what
[00:18:28] Trump is doing now, that is, can this be considered interference in
[00:18:31] the internal affairs of Ukraine, because well, Ukraine
[00:18:34] ultimately decides when to hold
[00:18:37] elections and whether Ukrainians need Zelenskyy or not,
[00:18:41] regardless of whether
[00:18:44] we need Trump or not, we can also
[00:18:47] turn to the Americans and say, well, the United
[00:18:51] States of America needs a new president who will not be able to negotiate
[00:18:54] with Russia, will protect the interests of democracy around
[00:18:58] the world, why does Trump actually torpedo, why does he
[00:19:02] torpedo Zelenskyy with these elections,
[00:19:05] which, well... which in the current conditions are simply
[00:19:09] impossible to hold.
[00:19:12] It seems to me that if Volodymyr Zelenskyy wanted to pay someone
[00:19:15] to help him with his rating, there would not have
[00:19:19] been another figure, well, another such
[00:19:22] effective opportunity. It seems to me that with his statement
[00:19:25] Trump has boosted Zelenskyy's rating more than
[00:19:29] one could even imagine, that is, it seems to me that this is a great gift for
[00:19:33] Volodymyr Oleksandrovych, when Ukrainians
[00:19:36] react very adequately to any such pressure
[00:19:39] from outside and perceive it hostilely, so
[00:19:42] Zelenskyy was very lucky with this statement, frankly, and now
[00:19:46] all people who demand elections are in solidarity with a person
[00:19:49] who, well, is a friend of Vladimir Putin,
[00:19:53] obviously, and if honestly, I think that this
[00:19:56] Trump's approach, it is more about his psycho-emotional state, that is, we
[00:20:00] constantly try, very often try to attribute
[00:20:03] to Trump an aura of a cunning politician,
[00:20:06] no. It is obvious that he does not understand what is happening,
[00:20:10] it is obvious that he talks a lot of nonsense, constantly
[00:20:13] generates this nonsense, lies, and
[00:20:17] to take his words at face value, well, it would be quite
[00:20:20] Trump is obviously just a lying creature who is trying to win
[00:20:24] elections at any cost, and for one reason only, because
[00:20:28] losing the elections is fatally dangerous for Trump in a political sense,
[00:20:31] because it is obvious that now his actions both in
[00:20:35] America itself and beyond its borders will be under very close
[00:20:39] scrutiny, so it seems to me that Trump clings to any
[00:20:43] opportunity to stay in power,
[00:20:46] control Congress, because he needs it for political
[00:20:50] survival, and I think that here we need to correctly
[00:20:53] assess this, this pressure on Zelenskyy will obviously not work, because
[00:20:57] well, no one in Ukraine,
[00:20:59] even people who previously made statements about elections,
[00:21:02] except for complete marginals, did not support Trump's statement, because
[00:21:06] obviously how would you look against this background, so I think that now
[00:21:09] the main thing for us is to understand that we have a deadline of
[00:21:13] November 3, and to hold out until then,
[00:21:16] yes, it is desirable, of course, to avoid direct confrontation with Trump, and...
[00:21:20] but if we understand that we still need
[00:21:23] to hit Russian energy infrastructure, the
[00:21:26] defense forces have found another target, this
[00:21:29] is the Samara oil distribution center, the largest in
[00:21:32] the world, it seems, well, one of the largest in the world, there have already been four successful
[00:21:36] attacks, we continue to hit it, and I am convinced that in case
[00:21:40] the energy truce is not complete,
[00:21:43] that is, if Russia does not abandon strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and
[00:21:47] critical infrastructure, Ukraine must not only continue
[00:21:51] to intensify strikes on oil refineries and
[00:21:54] oil infrastructure in Russia, because Trump is obviously not
[00:21:58] adequate, and there are no reasons
[00:22:01] to listen to him and help him win the elections. We have
[00:22:05] a statement from German Chancellor
[00:22:09] supports Volodymyr Zelenskyy as president
[00:22:12] of Ukraine. Donald Tusk assured Ukraine of
[00:22:15] support, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs
[00:22:18] of Ukraine, Mr. Andriy Sybiha, in
[00:22:21] response to this thesis, emphasized that the Ukrainian people
[00:22:24] support President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We can now hear
[00:22:28] him.
[00:22:31] President Zelenskyy leads our nation in times of war, a war
[00:22:34] for independence, freedom and dignity. He has the support
[00:22:38] of the Ukrainian people, and it is the people who have the right to decide.
[00:22:42] Statements from abroad only confirm that he is doing
[00:22:45] his job well. He deserves
[00:22:48] support. Elon Musk
[00:22:50] reposted a tweet from Donald Trump's statement
[00:22:54] with the call that Ukraine needs elections, you have already
[00:22:57] noted that this plays into the hands of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, because indeed
[00:23:01] Ukrainians are consolidating, protecting themselves, actually, and
[00:23:05] around the personality or
[00:23:08] the office of the President of Ukraine, yes, in this sense,
[00:23:11] don't they calculate in Washington in the White House
[00:23:15] the probable course of events, that with such
[00:23:18] statements, in essence, they somewhat boost the rating
[00:23:22] of the Ukrainian president, so why does all this actually sound
[00:23:25] for the consolidation of the Ukrainian people?
[00:23:28] There must be some investment in unity, I will only
[00:23:31] comment that, of course, the question is not
[00:23:35] about the personality of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the question is about
[00:23:38] the institution, it is obvious that by attacking Zelenskyy now, they are attacking
[00:23:42] the institution and attacking unfairly. Here, again, the question is
[00:23:45] that I would not particularly look for logic in Trump's actions, because he is a very
[00:23:49] emotional... person, first of all, secondly, he is obviously not very smart,
[00:23:53] and the fact that he was lucky to get power does not mean that he will continue
[00:23:56] to manage it rationally, because if we even look at the chances
[00:24:00] of the Republican party, as it was estimated a year ago, to win
[00:24:04] many representatives and the Senate, that is, to retain many representatives and get
[00:24:07] the Senate, then both indicators were over 90%, but
[00:24:11] Donald Trump, with his undoubtedly talented policy in
[00:24:13] the benches, absolutely, well, again, we can now
[00:24:16] look for logic in the attack on Iran. Yes, okay, we don't need
[00:24:20] the regimes of Aatoll, but it was clear that if you don't overthrow
[00:24:24] him by military force, America didn't have enough forces to overthrow
[00:24:28] him by military force, there will be an oil crisis, here we see an oil
[00:24:31] crisis, we see record prices for fuel, of course, one can think
[00:24:35] that Trump wanted to help Putin, but it is unlikely that he still thinks first
[00:24:39] and foremost about himself, and accordingly, now, when he has, due to
[00:24:42] the rise in fuel prices, due to failed domestic policy, due to an unnecessary war,
[00:24:46] he actually has chances to lose both chambers, then this simply speaks about
[00:24:49] his level of qualification and the level of his political
[00:24:52] capability, because if you won the elections, and Trump obviously won
[00:24:56] the elections based on protest, on dissatisfaction with old elites,
[00:25:00] well, Volodymyr Zelensky himself won
[00:25:03] will be able to be
[00:25:06] a competent leader, sometimes it happens, or you will be able to
[00:25:10] be eternally popular, so with the fact system, no, no system
[00:25:13] of hazardous assets, obviously he, obviously he
[00:25:16] is suffering a serious political collapse, obviously. he will lose
[00:25:20] the upcoming elections, and therefore he
[00:25:23] is looking for any historical opportunities to shift
[00:25:26] responsibility. We remember that strange campaign when they started
[00:25:29] saying that oil prices are so
[00:25:33] high and Brazil is so expensive because
[00:25:36] Ukraine allegedly bombs
[00:25:39] oil refineries, and not because Trump's actions blocked a quarter
[00:25:42] of the world's oil industry, well, when he started the war with
[00:25:45] Iran, they were looking for opportunities to shift responsibility,
[00:25:49] now. the moment has simply come when the elections are closer, and
[00:25:53] it is necessary to do this intensively, because well, it is obvious that they will lose,
[00:25:56] it is obvious that there is a 90% probability
[00:25:59] of losing the Senate, yesterday there were the last polls in
[00:26:03] Texas, in Texas a Democrat senator is leading,
[00:26:07] that is, well, it's really
[00:26:09] simply brilliant, that is, Donald Trump is simply a political genius
[00:26:13] who achieved the impossible, he risks
[00:26:16] losing the Senate in Texas and
[00:26:19] in Kansas, in two states where Democrats have not
[00:26:22] won for 60-80 years, that is,
[00:26:26] this is the result of his policy, and therefore, of course, we may, when we see how
[00:26:30] he literally saves his rating. We know how many
[00:26:34] scandals there were around the entourage of the President of Ukraine, we know how many
[00:26:38] claims there were against the President of Ukraine, and mostly these were quite well-founded
[00:26:41] claims regarding the corruption of his entourage, well, this
[00:26:45] testifies to the level, the scale of personality,
[00:26:48] the political talent of Donald Trump, he did the impossible, and in
[00:26:51] principle, we really need to survive him, because he can
[00:26:54] do a lot of stupid things, and harm Ukraine, but we need to just
[00:26:58] endure his time, because objectively speaking...
[00:27:02] yes, we won't be able to get rid of him
[00:27:05] in any other way than impeachment or defeat in elections, but
[00:27:08] we must understand that there is really little left,
[00:27:12] and we just need to do everything possible to minimize
[00:27:15] the harm from his actions. Mr. Yuriy, in Poland, a special
[00:27:19] meeting of representatives of law enforcement agencies and special services took place due to
[00:27:22] information received by the police about a possible assassination attempt on Prime Minister
[00:27:26] Donald Tusk and Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of National
[00:27:29] Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
[00:27:32] Let's listen to what the spokesman for the Minister
[00:27:36] Coordinator of Special Services Jacek Dobrzyński says about
[00:27:39] the high probability of threats being carried out against Prime Minister
[00:27:43] Tusk.
[00:27:46] Regardless of whether it concerns police officers or
[00:27:49] employees of the State Protection Service. We
[00:27:52] treat this matter with extreme seriousness.
[00:27:56] The radicalization of youth, which we have talked so much about over the last
[00:28:00] week, the radicalization of adults. threats
[00:28:03] of various kinds, some of which later turn out to be meaningless
[00:28:06] jokes, but in this case we are talking about a high
[00:28:09] probability of these threats actually
[00:28:12] being carried out. On October 10, the Minister
[00:28:16] of Internal Affairs of Poland, Marcin Kierwiński, announced on social network
[00:28:20] X that a suspect in
[00:28:23] planning an assassination attempt on the country's Prime Minister
[00:28:26] Donald Tusk had been detained. Well, observing what
[00:28:29] is happening in our neighbors and in...
[00:28:32] Poland, in particular, can we say that
[00:28:35] these events, which
[00:28:38] concern
[00:28:40] assassination attempts, planning of assassination attempts, threats, public,
[00:28:43] non-public threats, that all this leads
[00:28:47] to one place, to the Kremlin, to the Russians, and
[00:28:50] that for the Russians, this is part of their war against Europe,
[00:28:54] in such a hybrid variant, when they
[00:28:57] intimidate, spread different information, hire different
[00:29:01] people who provoke
[00:29:03] within countries that are part of the North Atlantic Alliance, to
[00:29:07] destabilize countries that influence
[00:29:11] aid to Ukraine.
[00:29:14] Yes, absolutely, that's how it is, so we need to understand that not everything that happens in
[00:29:18] the world is done by Russians, but if we are talking about hybrid warfare
[00:29:22] and about, specifically
[00:29:25] cognitive,
[00:29:27] of course, Russia is the main acting force, and it is obvious that
[00:29:31] Russians invest... a lot of money in
[00:29:34] European far-right, European
[00:29:37] radicals of various, various degrees,
[00:29:40] precisely because this is their asset, and almost all
[00:29:44] parties that we can associate with Moscow, and these are mostly
[00:29:47] far-right parties, they are indeed, one way or
[00:29:50] another, pro-Russian, or openly Russian, and
[00:29:54] we must understand that Russia, yes, indeed, in Europe there is a demand
[00:29:57] for greater popularity
[00:30:00] of far-right forces and... including for this there are
[00:30:04] many economic preconditions, preconditions of social
[00:30:08] instability, social inequality, because
[00:30:11] the impoverishment of the European middle class has very seriously
[00:30:15] contributed to this plague that we are now
[00:30:18] observing across Europe, but Russians, of course, do everything
[00:30:21] possible to incite enmity and hatred, and as we see, in
[00:30:25] Poland, it all started with the hatred of some not very
[00:30:29] adequate far-rightists towards Ukrainians, and it moved on to...
[00:30:32] in fact, threats of political terror against their own
[00:30:35] elites, and this is indeed a problem, that is, it is obvious that if
[00:30:39] people there, I don't know, are radically minded, I don't
[00:30:43] know, don't like Tusk, well, actually
[00:30:45] who cares, that's political submission, if they at
[00:30:48] the same time want to attack their own institutions,
[00:30:52] the Prime Minister or the Minister of Defense, these are the political institutions
[00:30:56] on which the survival of the Polish state depends.
