[00:02:50] went. a

[00:03:20] now the police and the Ukraine's security service say they have
[00:03:24] identified at least 130 people who
[00:03:28] gathered outside uh that uh house described as

[00:03:34] of confrontation of began on relatives and other protesters
[00:03:38] demanding access to men they said were being held there at
[00:03:42] the house. take a look at how the situation

[00:05:07] of раз, у меня вже істеріка,
[00:05:10] всіх, ви всіх.
[00:05:43] what matters is not the modesty of this
[00:05:45] beginning, but the determination to turn
[00:05:49] into something
[00:05:51] extraordinary. now we must
[00:05:54] use the courage we brought to olashki to find common
[00:05:58] ground through a share concern for the
[00:06:02] suffering of innocent people.
[00:06:05] together we can create something more enduring
[00:06:09] than a temporary cease fire. Let
[00:06:12] us use, let us see Ulashki as a
[00:06:16] spark a world of darkness,
[00:06:19] capable of illuminating the bas in
[00:06:22] humanity. Build a powerful flame of
[00:06:26] peace, visible to the world,
[00:06:30] ignite hope, foster corporation
[00:06:34] and brighten path toward lasting
[00:06:37] peace. I became
[00:06:41] aware the severity the humanitarian crisis in
[00:06:45] Olesky in September. Recognizing the
[00:06:49] urgency, I acted immediately and directed my
[00:06:52] representative Mark Bachman to engage with Russia and
[00:06:56] Ukraine on my behalf to pursue peace in
[00:07:00] Olashki. Both nations welcome my
[00:07:03] participation, acknowledging that previous
[00:07:07] efforts to establish sessfire in the
[00:07:10] region had not succeed,
[00:07:14] Russia and Ukraine honor our relationship
[00:07:18] and agree to work with me in the capacity of
[00:07:22] exclusive intermediary to
[00:07:25] establish fire in Olashi and the
[00:07:29] surrounding Kirsian region. Our
[00:07:33] share objective was to deliver critical
[00:07:36] humanitarian aid to Alesky residents
[00:07:40] and establish safe evacuation. root for
[00:07:43] civilians. my role as
[00:07:47] exclusive intimidary was memoralized in
[00:07:51] written agreements drafted and signed by
[00:07:54] both Russia and Ukraine. Mark and
[00:07:58] I began our work using the communication
[00:08:01] channels. we had privil privilously established
[00:08:05] to reunite children with their families in
[00:08:09] Russia and Ukraine. humanitarian
[00:08:13] military and government officials from Russia and
[00:08:16] Ukraine worked diligently to
[00:08:19] coordinate every aspect the
[00:08:22] operation. I was involved in
[00:08:26] every stage the planning, review the
[00:08:29] mining plans, areal images, assessed
[00:08:33] roadways and discussed evacuation roots, hospital
[00:08:37] access, vehicles and medical
[00:08:40] resources. I was made aware the preferred
[00:08:44] dates and timing the
[00:08:47] operation. My communication with
[00:08:50] Russia and Ukraine was extensive,
[00:08:53] professional, detailed and highly
[00:08:57] cooperative. Mark and I did everything
[00:09:00] possible to support both nations in advancing
[00:09:04] their shared commitment to reach sice fire in
[00:09:08] Olashi. We fulfilled our...
[00:09:12] responsibilities at every stage,
[00:09:15] collaborating with Russia and Ukraine teams through
[00:09:19] completion. Russia and Ukraine signed
[00:09:23] agreements in both languages on Friday,
[00:09:27] October 23rd,
[00:09:28] 2026. I comment
[00:09:32] both sides for your good faith efforts to define and
[00:09:36] implement all components of this
[00:09:39] sophisticated seesfire.
[00:09:43] I would like to welcome Mr. Kirol Dimitrov, special
[00:09:47] envoy to President Putin the Russian Federation, to

[00:10:15] that no one else can, and sometimes our
[00:10:19] greatest step is the simplest act of
[00:10:22] humanity. On behalf of
[00:11:25] for human rights, Mr. Lubinez, Miss Lantratova
[00:11:29] for Russia and Ukraine played a critical role in ensuring the
[00:11:33] separation and success. Of course, Mark Beckman, advisor to first
[00:11:36] lady with whom we interacted a daily basis, played an absolutely
[00:11:40] important role in making sure that this operation is success as
[00:11:44] well, and many residents of Aleski decided to stay and
[00:11:48] received humanitarian help, some decided to
[00:11:50] relocate, and very important that humanitarian deliveries.
[00:11:55] will continue today
[00:11:57] we also honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we
[00:12:01] remember Russian military de minor sergeant Andrey
[00:12:05] Vidernikov who died in this operation uh
[00:12:09] by ensuring its success and our thoughts are with his

[00:12:44] his team working a peace plan to resolve
[00:12:47] Ukrainian crisis.
[00:12:51] President Trump has asked President Putin to support number of
[00:12:55] initiatives on exchanging of prisoners, on releasing
[00:12:59] US prisoners, on humanitarian efforts and President
[00:13:02] Putin supported those ideas and those initiatives, and
[00:13:06] it's very important that cooperation between Russia and
[00:13:08] Ukraine and Russia and the United States

[00:13:54] words: "I love

[00:13:59] children, frankly overshadows any diplomatic

[00:15:13] fear. To sore freely beneath the
[00:15:16] sun, we must have promise of life

[00:15:27] from the physiological horrors of war, for
[00:15:31] innocent people living in the shadow of a war, freedom
[00:15:35] is more personal. than we can fully
[00:15:38] understand, it is found in the
[00:15:41] simplest moments of
[00:15:43] life. last week in Olashki
[00:15:47] and neighboring areas of Kirshan, people
[00:15:50] experienced the simple joys of life for the first
[00:15:54] time since 2022. they walk
[00:15:58] down familiar streets without fear of
[00:16:01] explosions. four
[00:16:05] brave American journalistts enter the warturn region

[00:16:58] Mr. Devik akaramia, faction
[00:17:01] leader the servant of people party of Ukraine
[00:17:05] is also with us today. Please join me and
[00:17:09] say few words, hello,
[00:17:13] thank you, thank you,
[00:17:16] I have, oh welcome back, this is RT international, we've just been listening in
[00:17:20] live to Malania Trump, the US first lady, speaking at the
[00:17:23] White House there where she's hosting Russian and Ukrainian representatives
[00:17:27] following the ceasefire in Alijoski, which she personally
[00:17:31] broker, she talked about how previous attempts at um achieving
[00:17:35] a cease fire in the frontline town incurn had failed in her role as an
[00:17:39] exclusive intermediary had established his communication channels
[00:17:43] between Russia and Ukraine and she was involved in every step
[00:17:46] the planning the ceasefire. She said Russia and Ukraine had
[00:17:50] signed an agreement and she commends both sides for making
[00:17:54] this happen. Introducing Kirill Dmitriev, the special
[00:17:57] envoy of Russia who took the podium to thank the first lady for her
[00:18:01] quote crucial leadership in the ceasefire. He also passed on
[00:18:05] President Putin's appreciation to President Trump for his
[00:18:09] continued work towards achieving a peace deal between Russia and
[00:18:12] Ukraine, and he, Mr. Dimitriev gifted Milania, the
[00:18:16] first lady, a gift, which was painting by an
[00:18:19] 11-year-old girl from Alyoshki, um, who chose to
[00:18:23] live with her family in Russia with the painting simply saying "I love
[00:18:27] Molania", so we'll keep you fully updated on what's happening right there in
[00:18:30] Washington DC
[00:18:31] for now, let's go back to Ukraine where authorities have
[00:18:35] started hunting down the locals. protesting, an apparent
[00:18:39] torture facility explosed in exposed in the country's
[00:18:42] capital. Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman has reacted to the
[00:18:46] scandal saying kiev sponsored would do well to examine what their
[00:18:50] funding is spent on. Keyski
[00:18:53] regime. The kive regime legalized mass riots long ago,
[00:18:57] making maidens and all this terrible, monstrous bloody fighting in the
[00:19:01] streets with the use of molotov cocktails part of essentially
[00:19:05] legal showdowns between their own citizens. And now it turns out they
[00:19:08] must be held accountable for all of this. Two women who,
[00:19:12] understanding what they were getting into, found the strength within themselves to
[00:19:16] say, there, in that house, there are people who urgently need
[00:19:19] emergency medical help. These are two women who have more courage
[00:19:23] than all the SBU, Bankovia, and of course Zelensky.
[00:19:27] The Ukrainian government doesn't care about anything, including the future
[00:19:31] generation, and I mean the 14-year-old boy who was lured and deceived
[00:19:34] at the swimming pool. What happened once? demonstrated what the
[00:19:38] billions from Ukraine's western sponsors are being spent on on
[00:19:42] torture chambers like these where people disappear without a trace
[00:19:46] on intimidating people on punitive measures, they don't give a dam
[00:19:50] about anything at all, including future
[00:19:53] generations. for more
[00:19:55] on this, let's cross life to Italian journalist for radio belaruss and belarusse
[00:19:59] sivodnia David Cabanaro. many thanks for joining us on the
[00:20:03] program. so the Russian foreign ministry has reacted to this ongoing
[00:20:07] man were seeing in Kieve and drawing attention to the fact that the
[00:20:10] current Ukrainian government was brought to power through public
[00:20:14] unrest, now we're seeing protesters being detained and
[00:20:18] forced to apologize for attempting to speak out, how would you explain
[00:20:22] this pivot and who does it
[00:20:24] benefit? well, thanks for having
[00:20:27] me, we have to be clear in what we
[00:20:31] see every day, we have been saying for
[00:20:34] years with which kind of people...
[00:20:38] uh, in Kieve, we have to
[00:20:42] deal somehow every day, and we see
[00:20:45] now that when we were calling them nazis,
[00:20:49] uh, "it was, well, in fact, not really the
[00:20:53] precise words, because these
[00:20:56] people, they don't treat others as human
[00:21:00] being, and they are treating protests which
[00:21:03] are now, well, coming up from people
[00:21:07] that are fed up with what this
[00:21:11] absolute inhuman regime is doing, and the
[00:21:15] protests, well, they are a natural thing at this
[00:21:18] moment, my question." " I always ask myself, when
[00:21:22] will uh Ukrainians start to
[00:21:25] react against this inhuman uh
[00:21:29] politicians, this inhuman um people that
[00:21:33] are in the Kiv Zelinsky administration. Now
[00:21:37] these protests are coming out, we have been seeing for
[00:21:41] months, for years how people have been
[00:21:45] drown out from homes, beaten up, we see the
[00:21:48] pictures, we see... every day what's happened and
[00:21:52] now all the world can see that we were
[00:21:55] right in beginning this fight because
[00:21:59] this is a fight for life against death, they
[00:22:03] are death and we want to save lives.
[00:22:07] maybe now the western powers will
[00:22:10] understand what we have to really deal with and
[00:22:14] will stop giving money and support to
[00:22:17] this criminals. Yeah,
[00:22:21] Ukrainian police, the they're working pretty hard to - track down
[00:22:25] these protesters, they've identified 130 people involved in the
[00:22:29] protest against this so-called torture house in Kiyev, and some them have already
[00:22:33] been detained and forced to apologize, so why are the
[00:22:36] Kiev authorities so quick to work on that front, when they shouldn't they be
[00:22:40] focusing on those who created and supported this torture
[00:22:44] facility in the first place? Yes, you are right,
[00:22:48] Niki, but the problem is that... these concentration
[00:22:51] camps that were made by the
[00:22:54] nazis, they should in fact prosecute
[00:22:58] themselves, because these are the
[00:23:01] Ukrainian administration, Ukrainian government, local governments
[00:23:05] are all responsible for building up these places
[00:23:08] and because they still want to keep
[00:23:12] on the mask of this
[00:23:16] fake regime that they have built in the...
[00:23:20] media thanks also to western media that have been doing
[00:23:23] a absolutely disgusting cover up for
[00:23:27] years, well now there is nothing to
[00:23:31] cover up anymore, it's impossible to cover up, they will still
[00:23:35] try and this is why they're doing it, they're trying to
[00:23:38] again put fear in the people in order to make
[00:23:41] them uh get back and recan their
[00:23:45] declarations in media, but still the facts are there,
[00:23:49] we saw... people tortured this 14 year old
[00:23:53] child, the pictures went thanks also to
[00:23:57] our media to your media to you all uh
[00:24:00] for the great work as journalists we all do every day
[00:24:04] uh these pictures got all over the world, let's make the
[00:24:08] world wake up and see the reality
[00:24:12] of what is happening, well we shall see won't we?
[00:24:16] um, many thanks for joining us on the program, david calbanaro, italian
[00:24:20] journalist for Radio Belaruss and Belarus Godnia. Many thanks.
[00:24:24] Thank you. Good evening to all. Good evening. Extreme methods
[00:24:28] such as kidnappings and beatings are also used by criminals under the
[00:24:32] patronage of Ukrainian law enforcement. One such grouping has
[00:24:36] been exposed by Kiyev's anti-corruption agencies and is said to
[00:24:40] have direct links to top officials the SBU, police, and
[00:24:44] Prosecuted General's office. The investigation released videos
[00:24:47] of gang members assaulting civilian. the following images were about to show
[00:24:51] you on graphic and you might find them
[00:24:54] upsetting.
[00:25:14] the main thing is that the piece of scum got properly broken.
[00:25:18] i'd hate for him to have gotten off to lights. 'brother, I'm telling
[00:25:22] you he's absolutely wrecked, fucked up beyond belief. Den worked him over with hammer and
[00:25:25] I did too, though we didn't film that part. His legs, you get what I mean,
[00:25:29] are basically just rags now. The anti-corruption
[00:25:33] probe reported that the criminal grouping included 12
[00:25:37] people. Besides torture and kidnappings, it was also
[00:25:41] facilitating the work of Ukraine's notorious fraud call
[00:25:44] centers as well as drug production and distribution. The tapes
[00:25:48] released at binard'. revealed that the gang's leaders had direct ties to
[00:25:52] some Ukrainian ministers. These guys
[00:25:56] are out their minds. For real, do they think they're going to be in
[00:26:00] charge forever? Tell them, are you? kidding me, you are handed two
[00:26:04] million goddamn dollars. your job is to stand by that call
[00:26:08] center and keep everyone away, not to go around spinning fairy
[00:26:11] tales. think about how we can make sure that these
[00:26:15] various ministers like the minister of internal affairs, or the
[00:26:19] minister of health stop throwing a wrench in our works. we're prepared
[00:26:22] to offer comrad k 500,000 plus another 200
[00:26:26] thousand for whoever helps him out, that's 700 thousand to ensure he
[00:26:30] stopsing on our plans. as for comrad L, there's no need
[00:26:34] to address anything with
[00:26:39] I'm sending him. someone
[00:26:40] Brother, over right now to talk to K. He's going to give him a clear directive.
[00:26:44] Don't go changing the chemical formulas for the weed or whatever it is we're
[00:26:48] dealing with. We need to make sure that the samples submitted to the lab don't get
[00:26:52] scrutinized in a way that forces us to keep changing the formulas, because
[00:26:56] they keep adding them to
[00:26:57] the list of band substances, right? The
[00:27:01] SBU has been quick. to fire two of its high ranking officers
[00:27:05] who've been implicated. a Ukrainian political analyst told us how the
[00:27:08] unfolding scandals in Kiev could eventually lead to regime
[00:27:12] change. I believe that the
[00:27:15] events currently unfolding in Ukraine are no mere
[00:27:18] coincidence, rather they mark the beginning of serious trouble
[00:27:22] for Zelensky. Consider this, the acting head the SBU
[00:27:26] has dismissed his own subordinates, officers who were implicated
[00:27:30] in investigation by the... national anti-corruption bureau of
[00:27:34] Ukraine. This reflects a longstanding tradition: rather
[00:27:38] than standing by their own personnel, those in power
[00:27:41] readily sacrifice them, throwing the weaker ones into the
[00:27:45] furnace to save themselves. As the saying goes, the
[00:27:48] fish rots from the head. Zelensky has consistently
[00:27:52] employed this tactic, whenever he faces an overwhelming surge of
[00:27:56] negative sentiment, he invariably finds a scape goat,
[00:28:00] blames them for everything and...
[00:28:04] Naturally other government officials follow the same pattern. Now looking
[00:28:08] back at the Nabu investigation, consider the timing: just
[00:28:12] two days after a torture basement was discovered near Kiev,
[00:28:15] where conscripts and military personnel were being held captive and their
[00:28:19] relatives extorted for ransom, we can reasonably infer that
[00:28:23] Nabu itself may be behind this high-profile
[00:28:26] case, and if Nabu is involved, it suggests the hand
[00:28:30] the United States, not the... is at work, this
[00:28:34] leads to the conclusion that the US has initiated
[00:28:37] attempt to change the regime. their primary challenge
[00:28:41] now is to replace key figures while ensuring that
[00:28:45] control over Ukraine remains intact, a frankly
[00:28:49] highly complex undertaking under the current
[00:28:51] circumstances. Furthermore, Nabu has announced the
[00:28:55] conclusion the Midus investigation, which uncovered a money
[00:28:59] laundering scheme involving millions of dollars. a scheme
[00:29:03] directly linked to Zelensky's inner circle.
[00:29:06] Furthermore, I could venture to suggest that by combining the
[00:29:10] two cases, the Carthage case and the Midus case,
[00:29:14] the National Anticorruption Bureau of Ukraine could finally
[00:29:18] demonstrate, primarily to its European partners, that the
[00:29:22] Zelensky regime has misappropriated billions of dollars in
[00:29:25] western aid. This could well serve as a compelling argument
[00:29:29] for Europe's current ruling elite to. cease their
[00:29:33] support for Ukraine and to withdraw all previously
[00:29:37] extended guarantees and promises. The Europeans would then
[00:29:41] be able to tell their own electorats that it was not Europe that was
[00:29:45] weak or that lost the war to Russia, rather it was the Ukrainian
[00:29:48] establishment, and the Ukrainian president himself, who
[00:29:52] proved to be fundamentally dishonest.
[00:29:55] Consequently, the Europeans could argue that they are now legally
[00:29:59] justified in withholding any further recept. in
[00:30:03] short, this would be finita lamedia, the end the
[00:30:07] show for the Zelensky regime, and
[00:30:10] it appears the torture house discovered near kiev is merely
[00:30:14] the tip the iceberg, as Ukraine's military and security
[00:30:18] agencies have reportedly been running such black sites for years.

[00:30:30] well, some more distressing images coming. up next as a passenger
[00:30:34] bus carrying civilians has been hit by a Ukrainian strike in
[00:30:37] Russia's Lugansk Republic. At least five people were killed and
[00:30:41] 13 more wounded, according to local officials. Two teenagers
[00:30:45] are among the casualties who are now being treated in hospital.
[00:30:49] Russian authorities have launched a criminal probe into the assault. It's
[00:30:53] the latest case of Kiev's forces targeting non-military
[00:30:56] vehicles across the embattled regions.
