[00:00:00] Hello, your favorite program "60 Minutes" [00:00:04] about the most important things is live. Russian missiles and drones again broke through [00:00:07] Ukrainian air defense and hit almost [00:00:11] 80 targets in enemy territory. Just now, [00:00:14] the Ministry of Defense published footage of the strike near substation 110 [00:00:18] kV in the area of the settlement of Lozova, Kharkiv [00:00:21] region. Also hit was a railway locomotive [00:00:25] carrying military cargo. It is reported that supersonic [00:01:40] missiles are moving towards [00:01:41] Odesa, [00:01:45] how many times a day does [00:01:46] the alarm sound? [00:01:50] Recently, very often. [00:01:53] Odesa is at high risk of strikes. Now we will show you [00:01:56] the consequences of a recent Russian missile strike. [00:03:00] But now it seems calm. [00:03:03] The Russian Ministry of Defense reports the destruction of another [00:03:06] naval vessel with cargo for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The goal is to interrupt [00:03:10] the supply chain. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation [00:03:13] continued to launch strikes against naval vessels involved in the interests [00:03:17] of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In the evening, two merchant ships of the dry cargo type, [00:03:21] carrying military cargo, were hit by attack drones [00:03:24] in the Black Sea south and east of Odesa. [00:03:27] Ukrainian air defense. [00:03:41] On the night of August 6, the enemy attacked with two Onyx anti-ship [00:03:45] missiles from launch areas in Crimea, two [00:03:48] X-31P anti-radar missiles from the [00:03:51] airspace over the Black Sea, and [00:03:54] 101 Shahed-type attack UAVs, most of them [00:03:58] reactive Gerbera and Almaz, and parody-type [00:04:01] imitator drones from the directions of Kursk, Millerovo, Oryol, [00:04:05] Donetsk, Gvardeyskoye. The air attack was repelled by aviation, [00:04:08] anti-aircraft missile forces, electronic warfare and unmanned [00:04:12] systems units, mobile fire groups of the Ukrainian defense forces. [00:04:15] Hits were recorded from 29 attack [00:04:18] UAVs and one Onyx missile at 18 locations, as well as [00:04:22] debris falling at five locations. Ukraine has become [00:04:25] a landlocked country, naval operations have stopped, the Black Sea [00:04:28] is closed. In a month, more than three dozen [00:04:32] dry cargo ships have been hit, and the port [00:04:34] infrastructure of Odesa and partially the city of Mykolaiv have been completely destroyed. [00:04:38] The strike is on [00:04:39] the ship. [00:04:46] Russian strikes are intensifying. According to an analysis of Ukrainian Air Force [00:04:49] data conducted by the BBC in Erafai, the number [00:04:53] of missiles launched at Ukraine over the past 31 days increased [00:04:57] by 83% compared to the same period. [00:05:16] Right now, a barrage of ballistic missiles is flying towards Kyiv. [00:05:19] The streets are empty, we also need [00:05:24] to hide. [00:05:26] So, we are [00:05:31] rushing. [00:05:32] The first wave of missiles has already reached its [00:05:35] targets, we need to be careful. [00:05:38] Our car maneuvers among [00:05:44] the debris scattered in the heart of the Ukrainian capital. [00:05:48] Smoke from the night shelling, heavy haze [00:05:56] covers the city. [00:05:59] Every night the city prepares for what [00:06:05] now seems inevitable, a new round of Russian [00:06:09] missile strikes. The eerie wail of sirens awakens [00:06:23] the sleeping [00:06:25] city. [00:06:31] Soon after, the sounds of impacts are heard, the noise of which echoes [00:06:35] off the [00:06:52] A bizarre trajectory looms in the sky, these are interceptor missiles pursuing their [00:06:54] targets. [00:06:59] The capital was once well protected, but now it is vulnerable to Russian [00:07:03] ballistic missiles, like all Ukrainian [00:07:05] cities. [00:07:09] Now it's an easy target. [00:07:11] Berlin writes that Zelensky looks increasingly [00:07:14] depressed, again urging allies to transfer [00:07:17] more Patriot missiles to Ukraine, in response promising support, but [00:07:21] only moral it seems. The Washington Post believes that [00:07:24] European governments are in no hurry to give Kyiv their [00:07:28] anti-missiles, fearing that this would weaken their [00:07:31] personal defense. [00:07:35] If you look at 2025, the pace [00:07:38] of production of the missiles themselves Back then, it truly seemed like something [00:07:41] Patriot missiles per month. What does this mean? If you look at two [00:07:44] Russian strikes, the math doesn't add up. In fact, even if [00:07:48] the US supplied everything it produced in a month, it would not be enough [00:07:52] to cover Ukraine's [00:07:53] needs. [00:07:57] Kyiv is indeed burning daily. High-precision weapon strikes have become a new [00:08:01] reality: about 400 missiles per month, [00:08:04] Iskanders, Zircons, reactive Geraniums, and [00:08:08] Banderole are hitting. Night of August 5, [00:08:11] August 5. [00:08:42] This includes production, stores, and warehouse logistics complexes. [00:08:46] 12 large brands suffered losses, on which, in essence, the supply [00:08:49] of goods depends. [00:08:52] Reuters believes that Moscow is being helped by Pyongyang. According to [00:08:56] Ukrainian intelligence, which is actually cited by [00:08:59] the American news agency: North Korea [00:09:02] has already deployed a special unit and more than 100 ballistic [00:09:06] missiles to the Voronezh region. [00:09:08] is deploying [00:09:12] a missile unit in the Voronezh region of Russia [00:09:16] consisting of about 90 servicemen, having up to [00:09:19] 120 ballistic missiles, KN-23, [00:09:22] KN-24 and six launchers. A new batch [00:09:26] has already been sent, Acting Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sibiga [00:09:29] should speak of diplomatic steps, but he already predicts a military [00:09:33] response. [00:09:39] I will answer you not only about what we can do at the diplomatic level. [00:10:35] There are many such productions in Ukraine, but this particular factory is considered one of [00:10:38] the key ones in the drone creation program for strikes deep [00:10:41] into Russia. [00:10:47] Work here does not stop for a minute. The scale of production [00:10:50] is impressive: engineers, technicians, carpenters, welders, assemblers, [00:10:54] scientists. Everyone is working on one task - to increase the production [00:10:57] of drones. A significant part of the factory is underground. [00:11:01] We are forbidden to show the faces of employees. We are even forbidden [00:11:05] to film the walls and many other things that would help identify [00:11:09] the location of this production. Any violation [00:11:12] of these rules can lead to fatal [00:11:14] consequences. [00:11:16] The Ukrainian air defense production Firepoint has already been dubbed [00:11:19] the cardboard factory. Their know-how - the [00:11:22] FP-7 missile, as it became [00:11:25] launch, the video is admittedly made by artificial known, is made based on Soviet [00:11:27] documentation about the head [00:11:30] Denis Stillerman, earlier he was a citizen of Russia and [00:11:34] his surname was Danilov, Ukrainians are making [00:11:37] a cartoon. A typical interview [00:11:40] with the director. I assure you, the ballistics are [00:11:43] practically ready, I even brought one with me, well, not the ballistics [00:11:47] itself, but a video of its [00:11:51] intelligence, but the real one is launched exactly the same way. [00:12:39] Russia has found countermeasures against practically all NATO weapons, this was [00:12:43] stated by former Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny at a meeting of the diplomatic club in [00:12:47] Kyiv. He said that Ukraine has used all types [00:12:50] of weapons, except, perhaps, [00:12:53] Tomahawks, F-35s. [00:13:55] What kind of question is this? Will we talk about Ukraine? We'll discuss that, and [00:13:58] intergalactic problems, and all [00:14:05] with the head of the British Foreign Office, sarcastically jokes, leaving [00:14:08] journalists' questions about Ukraine unanswered. [00:14:11] The British people stand in solidarity with [00:14:14] the people of Ukraine in their struggle against the war being waged by Russia. [00:14:17] Ukraine's struggle is our struggle. Those who threaten [00:14:21] the freedom and democracy of Ukraine pose a threat [00:14:24] to the security of Great Britain and our [00:14:27] values. [00:14:28] London indeed [00:14:34] isn't even thinking about surrendering. Another member of the British Prime Minister's cabinet, [00:14:38] Burnham, an openly gay Defense Minister [00:14:41] Streating, arrives in [00:14:43] Zelenskyy. [00:14:48] The front line in Ukraine is the front line for freedom and [00:14:51] democracy. I returned from Kyiv with a clear understanding of [00:14:55] what Ukraine needs in anticipation of winter. We will work with [00:14:58] allies to mobilize support. We will be with Ukraine until [00:15:01] it achieves victory. Glory to [00:15:04] Ukraine. At the negotiations, in violation of protocol, [00:15:07] Zelenskyy's main rival, Ukraine's Ambassador [00:15:11] Zaluzhny, was not invited, despite the fact that he is also in Kyiv. [00:15:14] The delegations look really strange. The British Ambassador to [00:15:18] Ukraine, Crompton, was present at the negotiations. [00:15:20] Ambassador Valerii Zaluzhnyi and the President's office [00:15:24] hold different positions on why the meeting with the UK Defense Minister [00:15:28] Wes Streeter took place without [00:15:31] the participation of Ukraine's Ambassador to the UK. Zaluzhnyi's inner circle [00:15:35] claims that the reason was that the ambassador was only informed [00:15:38] about this event afterwards. Presidential advisor Dmytro Lytvyn, for his part, replied to [00:15:42] EuroPravda's question that Zaluzhnyi should have initiated [00:15:45] his participation himself, but did not do so and chose another [00:15:49] event. However, according to information from our sources, not [00:15:52] officially confirmed, Zaluzhnyi learned about [00:15:55] the meeting after it took place, so he did not have [00:15:59] the opportunity to express his desire. Zaluzhnyi himself [00:16:02] is obviously punished and is now forced to explain himself because [00:16:06] of his words that... [00:16:23] Even before the war, [00:16:26] he was the main proponent of transitioning to alliance standards, but now [00:16:30] they are outdated, NATO has fallen behind Ukraine, and Europe needs [00:16:34] a new power bloc. Ukraine [00:16:36] is fighting Russia without being in NATO. Let NATO say [00:16:40] honestly, are they ready to fight Russia without Ukraine's experience? [00:16:44] NATO is stuck in the doctrine of the end of World War II, and we are [00:16:47] technologically ahead; scientific and technological progress [00:16:50] is happening. In 2026, [00:16:54] Ukraine used all types of weapons, except perhaps [00:16:57] Tomahawks, nuclear weapons, F-35 aircraft carriers, [00:17:01] which are in service with NATO, and applied their doctrines [00:17:04] of use. Resources are exhausted. Russia has found countermeasures [00:17:08] for all of this. [00:17:10] The speaker [00:17:12] of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tikhy, announces that Zaluzhny's words about Ukraine not being in NATO were [00:17:15] taken out of context. Allegedly, he was not talking about [00:17:19] the alliance at all, but about some joint expeditionary [00:17:22] forces. This is the name of a coalition of ten [00:17:25] Northern European countries led by London. Meanwhile, Kyiv is still [00:17:29] eager to join NATO, and this is supposedly necessary for the [00:17:32] West itself to ensure security and peace in [00:17:35] Europe. [00:17:45] act more actively and impose sanctions against relevant enterprises to [00:17:49] restrict Russia's access to technology. This is important for [00:17:52] Ukraine, but also important for France and Europe. [00:17:55] The problem is that while these ballistic missiles can still [00:17:59] hit important targets, there are very big fears about [00:18:02] winter. The talk is that Russia may attack energy [00:18:06] infrastructure, power stations, substations, and the [00:18:09] like, without Ukrainian air defense. This will [00:18:13] mean that Ukraine faces an even worse winter than the previous [00:18:16] two. There are serious concerns that this winter will be [00:18:19] dark and cold in Kyiv and other Ukrainian [00:18:22] cities. Zelenskyy is panicking and accusing partners [00:18:26] of intentionally reducing missile supplies so that Kyiv suffers [00:18:30] and finally becomes [00:18:31] compliant. [00:18:35] Realizing such a large deficit among Western partners. diplomatic [00:19:46] ploys are unclear, neither Helsinki nor Riga [00:19:50] have their own Patriots, and never have. [00:19:52] Ukrainian terrorist [00:19:59] Goncharenko appears on CNN and also demands that [00:20:02] Americans hand over interceptors, if the desire [00:20:04] is still not there, then at least [00:20:08] join terrorist attacks deep in the Russian [00:20:12] rear. There are stocks of interceptor missiles in [00:20:16] the US and other countries. In many states, these missiles are currently not [00:20:20] used. This also applies to the United States. Yes, [00:20:22] there is a Middle East threat from Iran, but there are other [00:20:26] regions where, fortunately, there is no danger. Our allies and [00:20:29] partners have interceptor missiles that we desperately [00:20:32] need. This is the first option. The second option, with US support, we could [00:20:36] strike much more effectively at the launchers [00:20:39] from which missiles are launched from Russian territory, but for this, too, we need more [00:20:43] serious support from the United [00:20:45] States. The volume of direct Western investment in [00:20:49] the Ukrainian budget since the beginning of the war has reached 200 billion dollars, said the head [00:20:53] of the National Bank, Pyshnyi. Allegedly, the sponsors of Zelenskyy's regime understand that Kyiv [00:20:56] is defending the entire democratic world, and that is why they allocate resources. [00:21:00] Washington has stopped spending money, but is increasingly [00:21:03] supplying Ukraine with intelligence. Politico reports that without [00:21:07] data from Washington, strikes against Russia would be [00:21:10] impossible. According to experienced experts on [00:21:13] Ukraine, intelligence sharing between the US and [00:21:17] Ukraine has returned to its previous high levels. This is a long-awaited [00:21:21] strengthening in a critical period of the war. Senator Mark [00:21:24] Warner, a senior member of the Intelligence Committee, believes that this [00:21:28] helped Kyiv gain an advantage in Moscow's four-year war. [00:21:31] "I don't want to go into details, but the situation [00:21:35] has improved," he said. "It seems that's the case," said [00:21:38] Republican Senator Cornyn. Everyone loves [00:21:41] winners, it seems Ukraine has turned the tide [00:21:44] of events. French magazine L'Express also admires [00:21:48] the terror, the publication rated the best intelligence agencies [00:21:52] in Europe. Ukrainian SBU and HUR were placed in [00:21:55] fourth place. The main achievement, quite [00:21:58] officially, is called terrorist attacks. The sabotage of Nord [00:22:01] Stream, the assassination of high-ranking military officials in [00:22:04] Russia. Kyiv's biggest operations have now become public, [00:22:08] the sabotage against the Nord Stream gas pipeline, [00:22:11] targeted assassinations of high-ranking Moscow [00:22:14] officials. They have demonstrated their ability to become like [00:22:18] Mossad, comments the current director of a European intelligence [00:22:21] service. The American publication The New York Times justifies [00:22:25] Kyiv's international terrorism against Russian citizens. [00:22:27] Ukraine is striking Russia much more frequently than at the beginning of the war, [00:22:31] including attacking targets with cruise missiles [00:22:34] located hundreds of kilometers from the front line. The goals of Ukrainian [00:22:38] air strikes go beyond purely military objectives. Kyiv [00:22:41] seeks to exacerbate the Kremlin's economic difficulties, [00:22:44] by taking the war onto Russian territory and forcing the president. [00:22:48] The Kyiv regime has long been in complete [00:23:01] economic and military dependence on EU and [00:23:06] NATO countries, which use Ukraine to wage a proxy [00:23:09] war against Russia. Suffering [00:23:12] defeats on the battlefield, the Zelenskyy regime is betting on increasing [00:23:15] terror against the civilian population of Russia. Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, [00:23:20] Nebenzya, was seemingly heard by the German opposition. The Alternative for [00:23:23] Germany sent a formal request to Merz's government, [00:23:27] demanding an explanation of whether Germany's support for [00:23:31] the terrorist attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces [00:23:33] is putting it at risk. In the parliamentary inquiry [00:23:37] by the AfD faction in the Bundestag, deputies ask the German [00:23:40] government to assess whether Germany's security situation has changed in light [00:23:44] of Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. After Russia published a list [00:23:48] of European companies allegedly involved. [00:23:58] Deputies link the risks to Ukrainian UAV strikes on Russian [00:24:01] regions, believing that this could provoke retaliatory actions [00:24:04] from Moscow. Bloomberg writes that last month in Austria, and this [00:24:08] is essentially a sensation, a secret meeting took place between former [00:24:11] high-ranking officials from Russia and European countries. [00:24:15] They discussed conflict resolution, Ukrainians were [00:24:18] not invited. [00:24:20] Former high-ranking officials from Russia, Germany, France, and [00:24:24] Great Britain met in July in Vienna to discuss [00:24:27] potential terms for peace talks for the [00:24:30] Russian-Ukrainian conflict, informed sources report. [00:24:34] Parties at such second-track meetings discuss ideas that could [00:24:38] later be transmitted to authorities. The negotiating group, according [00:24:41] to sources, included former UK National Security Advisor [00:24:44] Tim Barrow, former German State Secretary Markus [00:24:47] Ed. They declined to name the Russian ex-official [00:24:52] present at the meeting. Former German Foreign Minister [00:24:56] Fischer has a different [00:24:59] attitude. He said that the European Union [00:25:03] is currently absolutely helpless. The US, which [00:25:06] previously protected Europe, now considers it a defeated [00:25:10] opponent and has left. Russians don't take [00:25:13] the EU seriously. And if Europe doesn't become [00:25:16] capable, it will immediately collapse. By capable. [00:26:02] is not enough to strengthen its military-industrial complex and its armed forces and [00:26:06] to get rid of complete dependence on the USA, this war will be more likely, [00:26:10] the more Europe does for self-defense, the less likely such a [00:26:13] war. [00:26:15] Trump did not achieve his goals in Iran, 90% [00:26:19] of Americans are confident of this, a survey conducted by Marquette University in the US. This happened partly [00:26:23] because the Pentagon got involved in the conflict not [00:26:26] only without a clear strategy, but also without understanding how combat-ready [00:26:29] the American army actually is. This was stated by [00:26:35] CBS. He directly compared the current situation to the Vietnam [00:26:39] War, but Trump hears nothing and continues [00:26:42] the game. Meanwhile, the current US Navy is experiencing obvious [00:26:45] problems. 5,000 sailors, from the aircraft carrier Abraham [00:26:48] Lincoln, which was sent to war with Iran in the Persian [00:26:52] Gulf, report that on the ship [00:26:55] there are unbearable living conditions, [00:26:58] food is scarce, and the showers have mold. [00:27:01] The crew works seven days a week, literally [00:27:05] surviving, so they write in the open sea for [00:27:08] 9 months straight. Initially, [00:27:11] the Lincoln was sent on a six-month deployment to the Middle East, but then, due to [00:27:14] setbacks in the Iranian war, its presence was extended indefinitely. [00:27:18] When will the Americans return, and will they [00:27:21] return at all, given Tehran's potential? No one knows. [00:27:25] Relatives are writing a petition to the White [00:27:27] House. [00:27:31] Our TV channel spoke with dozens of family members of sailors and Marines [00:27:35] aboard the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, [00:27:38] who stated that they are extremely concerned about the morale, safety, and [00:27:42] living conditions on this ship. The crew of [00:27:45] 5,000 people has been at sea for 9 months straight, participating [00:27:49] in combat operations since the beginning of the conflict. Family members [00:27:52] reported that their children or spouses describe non-functioning toilets, [00:27:56] mold-covered showers, laundries that have been out of order [00:27:59] for weeks, as well as prolonged food shortages. [00:28:40] most of their family members work 12-14 hour shifts, [00:28:44] depending on their specialty, they have no days off at all, [00:28:47] and yet when it comes to the deck of an aircraft carrier, it is one of the most [00:28:51] dangerous places, planes take off and land, and ammunition, weapons [00:28:55] and bombs are constantly moved back and forth there, [00:28:58] servicemen are also exposed to loud noise for [00:29:01] a long time... [00:30:02] What does this tell you about the armed forces of Pete [00:30:04] Hegseth? [00:30:08] Our forces are strained and exhausted, over 10 [00:30:11] thousand combat sorties have been flown from the aircraft carrier Lincoln. You see, in [00:30:15] the Pentagon, we used to say, amateurs talk about strategy, and [00:30:18] experts about logistics. The aircraft carrier Lincoln is a logistical [00:30:22] machine there in the Middle East that daily provides these [00:30:26] combat sorties, and this is a very dangerous job, and these are real wars, [00:30:30] whether a sailor or a soldier. The fact is that you... [00:31:03] immediately after the commercial, [00:31:04] we'll tell you. [00:31:12] I'm so afraid for her, I keep thinking she won't wake up. Good [00:36:23] apart, the US has put the French ambassador on hold. [00:36:28] The diplomatic mission was supposed to be led by the forty-nine-year-old, [00:36:31] a classmate of Macron, but [00:36:34] for now he is stuck between Paris and Washington. The White [00:36:38] House is deliberately delaying the process and does not want [00:36:41] to issue him an agrément. Le Monde writes that the reason for the demarche [00:36:44] was a loud scandal at the UN. There, the French, as [00:36:48] is known, publicly compared the US to North Korea. [00:36:52] What is happening has effectively destroyed the illusion [00:36:55] of ostentatious. The French government [00:36:58] in retaliation is tightening control over [00:37:06] foreign investments in strategic sectors of France. [00:37:09] French Prime Minister Lecornu motivated this [00:37:13] by the need to protect Paris from opportunists outside [00:37:16] the European Union. He did not name names, but it is clear [00:37:20] that the addressees are in Washington. Lecornu himself [00:37:23] is simultaneously drowning in scandal. [00:37:26] murders and several attempted [00:37:57] suicides in the Prime Minister's office are being [00:38:00] investigated. This is what we know: In [00:38:03] In March 2026, two employees of the Prime Minister's Office [00:38:06] committed suicide, and this is not an isolated [00:38:10] incident. A few months earlier, in October [00:38:13] 2025, another employee attempted [00:38:16] suicide directly at the workplace. Then, at the end of April, [00:38:20] another civil servant tried to commit suicide [00:38:23] at the train station. According to the lawyer, she was gradually removed from work, [00:38:27] deprived of her duties, no longer allowed to participate in [00:38:30] meetings, and then completely isolated in an office located [00:38:34] in the basement. When the situation worsened, she naturally [00:38:37] activated all internal services, including the department for combating [00:38:40] workplace harassment, but no response [00:38:44] followed. On June 25, an employee of the Prime Minister's office filed [00:38:47] a complaint about workplace harassment and creating a threat to life. [00:38:51] The Paris Prosecutor's Office assigned a preliminary investigation to the brigade for [00:38:55] combating crimes against individuals. [00:40:28] The suicide of employees with access to service weapons sends [00:40:31] a signal to all authorities. There is concern about [00:40:35] working conditions and violations of working hours. [00:40:38] The General Inspectorate of the National Gendarmerie conducted [00:40:41] an investigation, the report of which was presented on October 12. [00:40:45] We hope that changes will occur, especially in the French [00:40:48] government. A series of tragedies in the upper [00:40:52] echelons of power. Two suicides, two suicide [00:40:56] attempts, suspicious. [00:41:27] She was overloaded with humiliating tasks that demoted her, and although [00:41:31] she used to participate in meetings and played an important role in the department, she is now [00:41:35] completely sidelined. According to [00:41:38] the lawyer, the reason lies in... the instability of the administration, as [00:41:42] well as the startup culture introduced in recent [00:41:45] years by new leaders, when you [00:41:48] implement public policy and manage subordinate services, [00:41:52] the question arises to what extent you can and should be held [00:41:55] responsible for this. It's too easy day after day to say, I can't be aware [00:41:59] of everything that happens in my departments. [00:42:02] Sebastian Legarnu's entourage is trying to de-escalate [00:42:05] the situation. The Prime Minister has 60 advisors [00:42:08] reporting to him, while... the system includes numerous [00:42:11] autonomous structures, and the total staff of the office is [00:42:15] 3,450 [00:42:17] people. [00:42:19] Igor Naymushen, head of the bureau Aria News, is with us live from [00:42:29] from the FBI happily reports that he has expanded [00:42:32] cooperation with Russian special services and [00:42:36] that we are fighting terrorism together and catching criminals together. [00:42:40] But then a completely [00:42:44] different message comes regarding [00:42:46] the fact that the United States is expanding [00:42:50] aid to Kyiv in terms of intelligence [00:42:53] data for strikes deep [00:43:02] as they say, you need to separate them [00:43:04] in different directions, and as far as cooperation with the FBI is concerned, yes, [00:43:08] the director of the bureau. spoke about cooperation with Russia and [00:43:12] China in recent months, especially in a number of areas, [00:43:15] including international terrorism, the fight against drug trafficking and other types [00:43:19] of crime. As for Ukraine, the States have invariably [00:43:22] adhered to their position, which they have maintained for [00:43:25] a long time. The latest information that is currently [00:43:29] being transmitted, in particular by the newspaper Politico, indicates [00:43:33] that the States have increased the exchange of intelligence [00:43:36] data with Ukraine, or rather, not an exchange, but a provision [00:43:40] of intelligence data to Kyiv, and this is confirmed, in particular, by the chairman [00:43:43] of the US Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner, [00:43:46] who told the newspaper that it is American [00:43:49] intelligence information that helps Kyiv in inflicting [00:43:53] long-range strikes with its drones on Russian [00:43:56] territory, deep into Russian territory. Other senators [00:43:59] of the committee also confirm that cooperation [00:44:02] between Washington and Kyiv in providing intelligence data has [00:44:06] strengthened in recent months, and here we see that on the one [00:44:10] hand... this information is not commented on by neither the White House [00:44:13] nor the CIA nor the office [00:44:16] of the US Director of National Intelligence, the traditional American administration [00:44:20] speaks of Trump's intention to seek a settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. On [00:44:23] the other hand, we clearly understand and realize that it is [00:44:27] the USA that currently leads the multinational [00:44:30] group for the security of Ukraine, that very [00:44:34] coordinating group that ensures three key [00:44:37] directions, this is the coordination of arms supplies. to the Ukrainian armed forces, [00:44:40] the second is precisely the exchange of intelligence data, and the third [00:44:44] is the training of Ukrainian militants, therefore here the States [00:44:48] remained and remain a coordinating force in a number [00:44:51] of areas, including intelligence data, and on this [00:44:54] track there are no signals that would indicate a weakening [00:44:58] of support in this direction. We know that the States are currently [00:45:01] limiting support to Kyiv for arms supplies. We [00:45:05] know that Washington refuses Zelensky's requests for supplies [00:45:08] of interceptor missiles, but concerning intelligence data, [00:45:12] we clearly see this confirmed by the statements of high-ranking senators who are [00:45:15] directly involved in receiving information [00:45:19] that this track continues, and cooperation between Washington and Kyiv has not [00:45:22] weakened on it. Colleagues, what about [00:45:25] the negotiations? Is there an understanding of what happened to [00:45:29] Whitkoff and Kushner? Sibiga, the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, [00:45:32] said that they are expected, but they are not coming again [00:45:35] for some reason. Whitkoff and Kushner are currently [00:45:39] the only resource of American President Donald [00:45:42] Trump, which he sends to negotiations on a whole list [00:45:46] of tracks on Ukraine and Iran, among others. According to the latest [00:45:50] information we see from American media and from statements [00:45:53] by the American administration, currently the US and Iran are in a conditionally [00:45:57] final stage of concluding a new deal, or rather [00:46:00] a settlement, so that a deal of some kind [00:46:04] can be reached, therefore Whitkoff and Kushner are fully [00:46:07] allocated and focused precisely on the [00:46:10] Iranian track, and until Trump achieves his goal, [00:46:14] there is no talk of him being able to redeploy them to the Ukrainian direction [00:46:17] for now. We know that the American president's capabilities here [00:46:21] are limited. On the one hand, he threatens Iran with unseen strikes if [00:46:25] a deal with the Islamic Republic is not reached. On the other [00:46:28] hand, we are direct witnesses of the fact that Washington currently [00:46:32] has practically run out of, or rather, has reached the lower limit of its [00:46:35] interceptor missile stockpiles, therefore Trump, no matter how much he wants to [00:46:38] threaten Iran now, is actually forced to move as quickly as possible towards [00:46:42] de-escalation and towards concluding negotiations. Until [00:46:46] a deal with Iran is reached, it is unrealistic to expect that Whitkoff and [00:46:49] Kushner, as the main negotiators from Washington's side... [00:47:22] He is now the First Deputy Prime Minister, because he changes positions [00:47:25] faster, and he is also the Minister of Energy, [00:47:29] but his exclusivity lies in the fact that, [00:47:33] having been in power for so many years, he did not particularly make public statements. [00:47:36] But then suddenly he makes a public statement [00:47:40] and gives a characteristic of the current political moment, [00:47:43] he compares it to a kind of boxing match, the last [00:47:47] round, yes, each of [00:47:49] the boxers hopes that... the other will fall [00:47:53] first. What does this tell us? It tells us that in reality [00:47:57] there is no plan, there is simply hope, hope for [00:48:00] some miracle that should happen, they should somehow [00:48:03] win, well, this is just such an adventurous approach, [00:48:07] you understand. Here's Budanov's second statement. Budanov, the head of the President's [00:48:11] Office, said that it doesn't matter how we entered [00:48:14] this process, what matters is what we will come out of this process with, [00:48:18] but I'm just too shy to ask, what did you enter [00:48:21] this process with? When you started the escalation, when you [00:48:24] declared war on the capitals, you perfectly [00:48:27] understood that you had no means of defense that would allow [00:48:31] you to protect, say, the city of Kyiv, but nevertheless, they went [00:48:35] for this adventure, they went for it absolutely consciously. I will tell [00:48:39] you later why they needed it, and Zelensky's third statement, who [00:48:42] once again gathered the SBU officers and assigned them [00:48:45] new plans for carrying out various terrorist acts and [00:48:49] provocations on the territory of the Russian Federation. I gathered all these [00:48:53] three for what? So that we would [00:48:56] understand one simple thing: Kyiv's goal is to turn this [00:49:00] war or bring this escalation to the level [00:49:03] of total war, a total war in which [00:49:07] the targets will no longer be some kind of [00:49:11] civilian or military infrastructure objects, but [00:49:15] ordinary citizens, people who live there, will become legitimate [00:49:18] targets, wherever this rocket or drone reaches. [00:49:52] of mutual destruction. They are like, you know, gamblers, they went into [00:49:56] a casino, although they are not losing their own money there. They went [00:50:00] all-in and placed a bet, Ukrainian statehood, [00:50:03] the Ukrainian people, they are ready to bet everything, well, if it doesn't work out, [00:50:07] it doesn't work out, they won't be too upset. Now, regarding [00:50:11] some meetings that took place in Vienna, yes, [00:50:14] some former officials met with the Russian side. This information, [00:50:18] of course, caused a certain resonance, but I want to ask, maybe I missed something, [00:50:22] didn't you hear that nobody in Ukraine was outraged, like [00:50:26] nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine? I don't [00:50:29] hear any voices there, neither from Zelensky's side. They justified [00:50:33] this by saying it was some private initiative. Okay, [00:50:37] fine, let it be a private initiative. Firstly, this is not the first private [00:50:40] initiative, but already the second, [00:50:43] yes, yes, this is already the second private initiative, well, [00:50:47] let's proceed from the fact that in reality [00:50:50] Europe, Europe is [00:50:52] looking for contacts, looking for opportunities, [00:50:55] looking for ways to get out of this war with the aim [00:50:59] of saving face, and I want to tell you, in reality there [00:51:02] are quite a lot of options for Europe to get out of this war with [00:51:06] saving face, but I can give [00:51:09] you a hundred percent guarantee that all, without exception, options [00:51:13] for withdrawal will be exclusively at Ukraine's expense, [00:51:16] exclusively, and there will be no other options, starting from [00:51:19] an internal coup and accusations against the Ukrainian government. [00:51:52] is already there, well, no matter what they say about holding [00:51:56] the front, in reality the offensive operation [00:51:59] continues, slowly but surely, Russian troops are advancing along almost [00:52:02] the entire width of this front, somewhere [00:52:05] more successfully, somewhere less successfully, this is present, but Ukraine's [00:52:08] resource capabilities, both from a military [00:52:12] point of view, and from a mobilization [00:52:15] resource point of view, which they catastrophically lack, to solve this problem [00:52:19] overnight, they also cannot, although they are taking a number of very [00:52:23] effective measures that can give them a certain [00:52:26] result, starting from increasing the number [00:52:30] of TCC groups, and it is already about [00:52:33] what... [00:53:05] hired by the state to terrorize Ukrainians, these are the [00:53:08] very lawless athletes who were pulled [00:53:11] from clubs, who throughout [00:53:14] the entire period of independence served [00:53:16] the criminal structures of Ukraine, yes, engaged in [00:53:20] raiding, seizures, and so on, these are the people who [00:53:23] are now working in the TCC, so there's nothing [00:53:27] new here either, well, and a number of measures have been taken that [00:53:30] are aimed at forcing people living in [00:53:33] Europe to the territory of... [00:54:05] Just now, the Ministry of Defense published truly unique [00:54:09] footage. An incredible rescue operation [00:54:12] from Konstantinovka, under fire, evacuates civilians. [00:54:15] We will show it after the [00:54:17] commercial. [00:54:24] incredible. Bombs on [00:54:27] Donetsk, battles in the international airport named after Sergei [00:54:31] Prokofiev. The unconquered Donbass and its heroes. [00:55:05] to speak their native language, preserve their culture, [00:55:08] for the right to live, they defended their [00:55:11] airport. This is a film about the first battle for [00:55:15] the existence of Donbass, a film by Andrey Kandryshov, [00:55:18] premiere, on Sunday at [00:55:21] 22:30 on [01:00:19] In the house where civilians tried to hide, 15 enemy [01:00:22] drones arrived at once, but [01:00:25] our soldiers still rescued the people. [01:00:29] Russia is grinding down the Ukrainian armed forces' defenses in six directions and [01:00:32] is encircling the Slovyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration. A key [01:00:36] blow for Zelensky is the loss of Zoryanitsa in Zaporizhzhia. [01:00:40] From here, Russian troops can begin to isolate [01:00:43] Orekhov and cut off reserve supplies. From the sky, [01:00:46] along the roads in this section, drone operators of the 42nd [01:00:50] Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the [01:00:53] Dnipro group are monitoring. They operate despite electronic [01:00:56] warfare systems and the enemy's anti-drone network. Russian [01:00:59] drone operators attack both [01:01:02] stationary and mobile ground targets, including [01:01:06] robotic systems. And in the sky, they shoot down heavy Ukrainian [01:01:09] hexacopters: Vampire, Baba Yaga, and others. The [01:01:12] Ukrainian armed forces are losing equipment and people, their main sponsor, meanwhile, [01:01:16] is Germany. This is not... [01:05:00] because we drive them away, so to speak, that is, if they move closer, our [01:05:03] birds will notice them, and we will destroy them ourselves. From Konstantinovka, [01:05:07] the fighters evacuated two more civilians. This is already a temporary accommodation [01:05:11] point in a safe zone. They have only two bags in their hands, [01:05:14] all the things that did not burn. We brought them down to the basement. [01:05:18] The house where civilians were hiding was hit by 15 drones [01:05:22] from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. People ran to the basements and stayed there without going outside [01:05:26] for 2 months. When the last food ran out, [01:06:00] a neighbor's piece [01:06:03] was torn apart by a drone. [01:06:06] Women were standing under a tree, they are no longer standing, three [01:06:10] died. They have nothing, they have nothing [01:06:14] sacred. Which Ukraine to go to, where [01:06:18] to go? These [01:06:19] fascists. [01:06:28] The Ukrainian side says, [01:07:34] The village is located in the Zaporizhzhia region, from here Russian troops will be able [01:07:37] to advance in the western direction, expanding the bridgehead at [01:07:41] the Verkhnyaya Tersa river, which will help to further [01:07:44] isolate Orekhov [01:07:46] from reserves. [01:07:55] Russian assault troops enter the village early in the morning, when enemy [01:07:59] drones switch to daytime mode and fly to control [01:08:02] points, filming with thermal imagers. They work [01:08:05] in pairs, one pair drew [01:08:09] fire, well, that is, they exposed themselves, indicating [01:08:12] an attack, while we came in from the flank against the enemy [01:08:16] and broke through from the flank almost into [01:08:20] his back. Nationalists flee from Russian soldiers, literally [01:08:23] underground. Between the houses [01:08:26] there were very many dug [01:08:29] holes. They are like, [01:08:32] one person crawls out, for example, from one side, you work [01:08:36] on him, and he then hides and can [01:08:39] crawl out from the other side, the same [01:08:42] enemy. When we climbed into the holes, only then [01:08:46] did it start normally, [01:08:49] a normal fight, you could say, we have to find [01:08:53] and untangle the network of underground passages right [01:08:56] on the spot. We threw grenades into the dugout, six [01:09:00] grenades were thrown, it turned out to be all in [01:09:03] tunnels, and we couldn't get to them, throw grenades, [01:09:06] they constantly fired from there, we couldn't jump [01:09:09] in there, but we still managed [01:09:12] to do it, it was very difficult, but we [01:09:16] jumped in there, it turned out there were three wrapped [01:09:19] rooms, also dug. [01:09:21] We are working. [01:09:25] Zelensky seems to have found a scapegoat for [01:09:28] himself. The ex-ambassador of Ukraine to the USA, Stefanishina, is now [01:09:31] officially under investigation. On Monday, as is [01:09:35] known, she was fired for lack of success in [01:09:38] finding air defense. The day before, she cried in court and... [01:09:42] today they demanded a bail of 6 million [01:09:46] hryvnias from her, which is about 11 million rubles. She was entered into [01:09:49] the database of the extremist Peacemaker. [01:09:52] There, the Ukrainian Stefanishina [01:09:56] is called a marauder, a thief, a participant [01:09:59] of an organized criminal group who used her official position [01:10:03] for personal enrichment. Stefanishina's crime [01:10:07] was revealed by Sapenbul. Now the former diplomat [01:10:10] is suspected of stealing almost 11 [01:10:13] million hryvnias. With a bribe, she bought several luxury [01:10:17] apartments and only one Mercedes. All in the names of [01:10:21] straw persons. Overseas, Stefanishina [01:10:23] didn't even work a year. She couldn't reach an agreement with the American military-industrial complex, and [01:10:27] now Zelensky's regime has no [01:10:30] missiles, and no one plans to issue licenses for [01:10:34] Patriots before winter either. [01:10:38] But Stefanishina managed to take [01:10:41] a selfie under the table during... from where [01:13:05] you can get to Podol, the historical center, in a few minutes. A bare two-room apartment here will now [01:13:08] cost at least 6.5 million. [01:13:12] A similarly bare three-room apartment costs from 9 million hryvnias. Since the end [01:13:15] of October 2002, the owner of precisely [01:13:18] a three-room apartment here is Nadezhda [01:13:22] Igorevna. This is the mother of the Vice Prime Minister. Since the autumn [01:13:25] of last year, the father of Stefanishina [01:13:29] became the owner of several storage rooms and a parking space in the underground parking. [01:13:33] There is nothing of this in Stefanishina's declaration. [01:13:36] Nothing of this is in Stefanishina's declaration, [01:13:39] nothing. At 9 AM, a black [01:13:43] Mercedes drives into the territory of the aforementioned complex. This is a car [01:13:46] from the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers. Following it, [01:13:49] a black tinted minivan drives in. For about an hour, [01:13:52] the cars are in the yard, finally. [01:14:55] because he is like that, but there must be some common sense, but [01:14:58] there must be some common sense? I [01:15:01] am convinced that Stefanishina was betrayed [01:15:04] by Zelensky. [01:15:06] Everyone who works with him now, with this [01:15:10] dictator and usurper, should [01:15:13] carefully look, study, understand [01:15:16] this case of Stefanishina for their own [01:15:20] safety, because for him, people are like seeds, he [01:15:24] betrayed her. From a legal point of view, is [01:15:27] Stefanishina guilty? Yes, in my [01:15:30] opinion, yes, she should not have been appointed [01:15:34] either Vice Prime Minister for [01:15:35] European Integration [01:15:38] or Ambassador, especially to the USA. [01:15:41] But he appointed her, and then betrayed her. [01:15:45] The leadership informed Zelensky [01:15:48] about the suspicion. I am [01:15:51] 100 percent sure of this. [01:16:25] a drone with a bomb was found in Leipzig, it was completely filled with [01:16:28] ammunition, German media reported today, citing information [01:16:32] of the local Ministry of Internal Affairs. The military cargo entered Germany from [01:16:35] France, and was supposed to be sent further to Zelensky. The Kyiv regime [01:16:39] uses Leipzig's international hub as a logistical [01:16:43] base for its heavy cargo fleet, what remains of it. [01:16:46] The drone that last night alarmed all German military [01:16:49] personnel, flew into the airport territory, in the evening at [01:16:52] 19:28 local time. [01:16:55] By midnight it was detected and neutralized, [01:16:59] meaning it flew there, looking for targets for 4.5 hours, [01:17:02] something doesn't add up for long. The German Interior Minister, [01:17:05] who returned urgently from vacation, called the incident a hybrid attack of a new level, but [01:17:09] urged against [01:17:12] speculation. Specialists of the German military-industrial complex oppose this position. [01:17:16] Experts believe that the incident perfectly [01:17:19] fits the description of Russian aggression. Well, [01:17:22] indeed, for now, at least officially. [01:18:09] When we discuss who might be behind what happened, many, of course, will first [01:18:13] think of Russia, but I would caution against hasty [01:18:16] conclusions. Of course, there are other possible versions, [01:18:20] however, Russia indeed is one of the first that comes to mind as a potential [01:18:24] organizer of such actions. [01:18:26] A ground staff employee of Leipzig/Halle airport, personally [01:18:30] intercepted the drone, which was equipped with homemade [01:18:33] explosives. Around 23:42 the employee noticed it. [01:19:25] Shouldn't part of this information be deliberately declassified so that we can openly talk about hybrid [01:19:28] threats and the methods by which our opponents operate? I [01:19:31] think this could help in fighting [01:19:33] them. [01:20:07] to declassify part of this information, because the goal of hybrid warfare is to sow uncertainty in [01:20:11] society, and the best remedy against this is understanding [01:20:15] what is happening. As for the general situation regarding hybrid threats, [01:20:18] people have been talking about them for a long time, but it seems we still find it difficult to move from talk to [01:20:21] practical measures that are truly necessary, for example, to create [01:20:25] drone detection and tracking systems or to disclose [01:20:29] financial flows through which Russian special services pay for the work [01:20:32] of their agents or so-called disposable ones. [01:20:36] называемых одноразовых. [01:20:45] we can no longer pretend that all this is something completely new or unexpected. It has long been clear that such scenarios pose [01:20:46] a threat to us. [01:20:49] If we return to the situation at Leipzig airport, are you surprised that [01:20:52] two drones were used at once, one [01:20:55] programmed and equipped with SEMTex type explosives, [01:20:59] and the second designed to record everything happening on [01:21:02] video. How should this be understood? Was the goal to [01:21:05] also record the moment when the plane [01:21:07] exploded? [01:21:10] This is a completely typical tactic, known for many years. This is exactly how [01:21:14] Russia operates in the war against Ukraine. One drone [01:21:17] is higher and conducts surveillance, records what is happening, assesses [01:21:20] the consequences of the strike, and if necessary, records footage [01:21:23] that can then be used, while the second drone directly [01:21:27] delivers the strike. 800 grams of Sentax explosive is [01:21:30] indeed a large amount of extremely dangerous explosive, [01:21:33] capable of causing serious damage, if the reports are true. The Prime Minister of [01:21:44] Japan today did not name the country that dropped the atomic bomb [01:21:48] on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August forty-fifth. The Japanese, [01:21:51] just today, August 6, mourn the [01:21:54] victims of the atomic bombing. In Hiroshima, which bore the first [01:21:58] blow, a ceremony was held to commemorate those who died [01:22:02] from the American bomb. The mayor of the city, following the prime minister, [01:22:06] also timidly did not mention the role of [01:22:08] the USA, while accusing Russia of [01:22:12] using nuclear weapons as [01:22:14] a tool to intimidate the planet. [01:22:18] The country's authorities repeat every year the foolish idea that Tokyo, [01:22:21] an ally of Nazi Germany, was an innocent [01:22:24] victim. The author of the world's first nuclear disaster: [01:22:28] the USA remains off-screen. The bombs, [01:22:32] as if, fell by themselves. The Japanese [01:22:35] almost believed their own lie. and now seem to be trying to [01:22:38] convince everyone else. In connection with [01:22:41] the eighty-first anniversary of the nuclear bombing of [01:22:45] Hiroshima. UN Secretary-General Guterres sent a message, but [01:22:49] it didn't say a word about US military personnel [01:22:52] being responsible for the deaths of over [01:22:55] 550,000 people. On August 6, [01:22:58] 1945, an American B-29 bomber [01:23:00] approached the Japanese city where civilians were waking up. At [01:23:04] 8:15 AM, local time, the bombardier pressed the [01:23:08] release button. Over Hiroshima, a nuclear mushroom cloud rose. [01:23:11] The temperature at the epicenter reached several [01:23:15] millions of degrees Celsius. People burned to death. [01:23:19] сгорали. [01:23:50] 393 people from [01:23:53] Japan. Sergey [01:23:55] Mengazh. [01:23:58] The epicenter of the Hiroshima explosion, the first combat use of atomic weapons in human history, was located at this spot. [01:24:02] Now it's the Peace Park area. The uranium bomb "Little Boy", [01:24:05] dropped from a B-29 bomber, exploded at a [01:24:08] half-kilometer altitude on August 6, [01:24:11] 1945, at 8:15 AM. [01:24:14] In an instant, about 70,000 people burned to death in the atomic fire. [01:24:18] The same number died from terrible suffering by the end of [01:24:21] 1945. Hibakusha, people affected by the atomic explosion or [01:24:25] its consequences, continue to swell the mournful list to this [01:24:29] day. [01:24:31] Today, at the ceremony for the eighty-first [01:24:33] anniversary of the tragedy, lists with the names of hibakusha who passed away in the past [01:24:37] year were laid at the memorial . [01:24:41] год. [01:24:44] As a result, the official death toll from the atomic explosion in Hiroshima has exceeded [01:24:48] 350,000. [01:24:50] Over 200,000 are victims of the plutonium bomb "Fat Man", [01:24:53] which the Americans dropped 3 days later on [01:24:56] Nagasaki. [01:25:02] Today in Hiroshima, traditionally, the mayor of the city read out a peace [01:25:06] declaration, in which, as usual, he called on all countries to abandon nuclear weapons and [01:25:10] cease armed conflicts. Disregarding the inhumane [01:25:14] nature of nuclear weapons and considering the use of force [01:25:17] permissible for the sake of one's own prosperity. [01:26:20] A country that suffered atomic bombings during the war [01:26:23] bears the responsibility for relentlessly striving for a world [01:26:26] without nuclear weapons, therefore we cannot afford to [01:26:30] stop these efforts. However, all speeches by Japanese [01:26:33] officials at the ceremony are united by a delicate [01:26:37] silence about who actually destroyed the civilian population [01:26:41] of Japanese cities with nuclear explosions. After occupying the Japanese [01:26:44] islands in August 1945, American [01:26:47] troops still remain at their bases to this day. Japan itself [01:26:51] is officially now under the protection of the US nuclear umbrella. And [01:26:54] the tragedy of August forty-fifth was called [01:26:57] a mistake, this is written on the memorial stone. Donald Trump, [01:27:01] when he visited Japan last year, even called the bombing [01:27:04] a minor conflict that happened then between the two countries, but in [01:27:08] the end, according to him, the USA and Japan are now the closest [01:27:11] friends. By August 1945, Japan was already [01:27:15] on the verge of surrender, with the million-strong Kwantung Army, which was located on [01:27:18] the continent of Sakhalin. There was no military necessity to burn [01:27:22] the civilian population of Japanese [01:27:24] cities with atomic fire at that time. The explosions were [01:27:28] political and demonstrative in nature, but in over 80 [01:27:31] years since the end of World War II, not a single American [01:27:35] president has uttered a hint of remorse, [01:27:38] compassion, let alone an apology. [01:27:42] And now, that very Japan, South Korea today accused the DPRK of [01:27:45] launching a presumed ballistic missile. They acknowledged, however, that there was no [01:27:49] damage. [01:28:20] countries. The US does not even hide that it is practicing actions against [01:28:24] China and the DPRK. In Pyongyang, they [01:28:27] called this a rehearsal of an aggressive war [01:28:29] and promised to take harsh measures. [01:28:35] For almost 80 years, Japan followed a simple [01:28:39] principle: pacifism. After its defeat in World War II, Japan [01:28:42] officially renounced war, which is even enshrined in its post-war [01:28:46] constitution, but something has changed. A Japanese warship [01:28:50] sailed into the Pacific Ocean, opened its missile launcher, and fired [01:28:53] a ground-launched Tomahawk cruise missile, [01:28:56] of American manufacture, a weapon designed to strike [01:28:59] deep into enemy territory. [01:29:43] If you look at the Pacific Ocean, it's enormous, it's vast, and no [01:29:47] single country can guarantee peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific [01:29:50] region. China's growing ambitions and North Korea's rapidly [01:29:54] expanding nuclear arsenal have heightened [01:29:57] tensions in this region. Any future conflict will span [01:30:00] thousands of miles across the ocean. [01:30:03] I think ultimately we're all doing the same thing: uniting the Pacific [01:30:07] region and encouraging freedom of maneuver throughout the world. You know, [01:30:10] it's not about war, it's about suppressing aggression, about ensuring our readiness in case [01:30:14] it happens. North Korea is building warships capable of [01:30:18] deploying missile systems that can carry nuclear warheads. These [01:30:22] ships are known as Chwehon-class destroyers, [01:30:25] capable of striking a significant portion of Northeast [01:30:28] Asia. [01:30:32] additional [01:30:43] military measures in [01:30:44] response [01:30:51] to Japan's transformation, according to her, into a military [01:30:53] power. [01:30:56] According to her, Japan is abandoning its post-war defensive [01:31:00] doctrine and transforming its self-defense forces. [01:31:09] Across the border, North Korea condemned Japan's pursuit of military [01:31:12] partnership. [01:31:14] On Wednesday, North Korea warned Japan against forming military alliances with [01:31:17] other countries. The warning was issued after Japan [01:31:21] reported that its ambassador to Canada and the Canadian Minister of Defense last month [01:31:25] signed an agreement on the transfer of defense equipment and [01:31:27] technologies. North Korea stated that concluding military [01:31:31] agreements, exchanging equipment. [01:32:03] unexpectedly reports that the FBI, it turns out, [01:32:06] is establishing unprecedented cooperation with Moscow and [01:32:09] Beijing. The idea of reaching out to Moscow allegedly belongs personally [01:32:13] to the agency's director, Kesha Potel. He hopes to enlist the help of [01:32:16] Russia and China in fighting international crime. According to [01:32:20] Reuters, in late July, Potel had already visited [01:32:23] China and agreed on exchanging [01:32:26] experiences. In October, the FBI director will go with a [01:32:29] similar goal to Russia. Plans for [01:32:32] Potel to visit our country were also previously reported by [01:32:35] Politico. The American intelligence community, however, believes that [01:32:39] Moscow and Beijing could take advantage of the situation to [01:32:41] harm the US. In this regard, Potel is considered there [01:32:45] at least a useful idiot of Xi [01:32:48] and Putin. Donald Trump himself was suspected of [01:32:51] ties to the Kremlin, as is well known. Declassified White [01:32:55] House data shows that the FBI [01:32:58] opened an official investigation in 2017, immediately after [01:33:01] Trump fired then-FBI director James [01:33:05] Comey. Investigators tried to find out if the US [01:33:08] president at that time was under Putin's influence [01:33:11] and could have been, then an agent [01:33:15] - either intentional or unintentional - of [01:33:18] Moscow. In 2017, a conspiracy dossier by [01:33:21] British intelligence officer Steele was circulating in the US. [01:33:24] He claimed that the FSB caught [01:33:28] Trump in a honey trap and was blackmailing him with [01:33:32] compromising material. According to another version, the US [01:33:35] president was recruited back in distant [01:33:38] 1980 [01:33:40] by the Soviet KGB, and since [01:33:44] then he worked for [01:33:47] Moscow under the codename Agent Krasnov. [01:33:50] In short, the FBI seriously investigated [01:33:54] all this nonsense for 2 years. The result appeared today, and it is [01:33:57] predictable. No [01:34:00] ties between Trump and [01:34:02] Russia were found. What a shame. [01:34:05] Let's watch. [01:34:09] Declassified White House documents contain new details about [01:34:12] the investigation. [01:34:45] a review of investigations launched during Donald Trump's first presidential term. [01:34:48] Current administration officials are trying to cast doubt on the validity of those [01:34:52] probes. According to declassified documents, representatives of American [01:34:55] intelligence claim that there was no evidence that could serve as a [01:34:59] basis for initiating an investigation into whether President Donald [01:35:03] Trump acted in Russia's interests. Subsequently, this investigation became part of a larger [01:35:07] scale probe conducted by Special Prosecutor Robert [01:35:10] Mueller during Trump's first presidential term. The probe concerned [01:35:14] possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential [01:35:17] election. Ultimately, Mueller's investigation found no [01:35:20] evidence that members of Trump's campaign staff [01:35:24] coordinated their actions or conspired with Russia during [01:35:27] the election campaign. [01:35:29] кампании. [01:35:32] I think they started the investigation because I fired Comey, and that [01:35:36] was an excellent decision I made for our country. So [01:35:39] the people who conducted this investigation are caught, known villains. They [01:35:43] can be called dirty cops. [01:35:49] I never worked for Russia, you know that perfectly well, I never worked for [01:35:53] Russia, moreover, I consider it a disgrace that you even ask such [01:35:57] a question, because this is all a big, huge mystification, it's just [01:36:00] a deception, [01:36:04] the president repeatedly called the investigation into Russian interference in [01:36:07] American elections or Russian participation in the US [01:36:11] electoral process a mystification and fake news, [01:37:08] Comey, for a long time Donald Trump wanted [01:37:12] Comey to publicly state that the FBI was not conducting any [01:37:15] investigation into him and his campaign staff. After winning the [01:37:19] election and taking office in 2017, [01:37:23] Trump continued to seek such statements. When Comey [01:37:26] refused to do so, the President fired him. Trump and [01:37:30] the Department of Justice repeatedly tried to hold [01:37:33] James Comey accountable. One such case ended in [01:37:36] an unsuccessful indictment. Another episode concerns Comey's post with [01:37:39] a photograph of shells forming the numbers 8, [01:37:42] 6, 4. This case will likely be heard in [01:37:46] court later this autumn or early next year. Thus, [01:37:49] the current publication is rather another attempt by the [01:37:53] White House to once again draw attention to James Comey's [01:37:56] activities during his leadership of [01:38:00] the FBI. [01:38:03] The more we learn about what the FBI did to Donald Trump, the [01:38:07] crazier it all seems. In May 2017, the FBI [01:38:11] opened an investigation based on the assumption that Donald Trump. [01:38:45] nothing at all, these investigations cost millions of [01:38:48] taxpayer dollars, but each time they reached the same [01:38:52] conclusion, finding nothing, because from the very beginning it was all [01:38:56] complete nonsense. [01:38:58] Yes, it really looks like a comic book, but the problem is that it's [01:39:02] a real government [01:39:03] document. [01:39:06] Now, truly important news: French [01:39:09] winemakers are saving the remnants of the harvest of famous grape varieties, [01:39:12] fires are burning hectare after hectare, especially affected are [01:39:16] the Bordeaux and Provence regions. It seems [01:39:19] that Macron will be without his favorite red [01:39:23] Chateau Lafite, his taste is quite, shall we say, [01:39:27] peculiar. The element has already destroyed 30% of [01:39:30] vineyards in the commune of Caran, which is the heart of [01:39:33] Provence, where they produce the famous dry rosé [01:39:36] Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. In [01:39:39] the areas so far spared from the fire, [01:39:42] micro-particles of smoke settle on the berries, they [01:39:46] give the young wine a sharp and unpleasant smoky [01:39:49] taste, so luxurious red wines, for example, [01:39:52] Chateau Margaux, vintage twenty-six, as well as champagne, risk [01:39:56] being significantly different from previous ones. Today, in [01:40:00] southern France, a red alert was declared due to forest fires. In the [01:40:03] coming days, extreme heat and stronger winds are expected. Police [01:40:07] have already arrested over 400 arsonists, [01:40:10] said Interior Minister Nunez. On [01:40:13] French TV, of course, they are absolutely seriously [01:40:16] discussing that the fires are not a natural disaster. According to them, [01:40:20] it is a matter of external interference. [01:40:23] Of course, Putin interfered, although, as is well known, [01:40:27] the Kremlin prefers Crimean or Kuban [01:40:31] Gikadzor. [01:40:34] As for Russia's actions in Europe and France, one must understand, when it comes to [01:40:38] forest fires in France, in some places one should consider [01:40:42] possible foreign interference. This is what we have [01:40:45] come to. I know that the issue you raised is indeed among the concerns at the [01:40:48] highest state level, there they are asking about the [01:40:52] origin of these fires, especially in the context of the [01:40:55] ongoing war, and indeed, when you see [01:40:57] destructive they can be, how [01:41:00] you realize that this can also become a weapon, I know for sure that [01:41:04] this is among the concerns of the government. [01:41:08] правительства. [01:41:10] Well, the French should fear Macron and the European Union much more [01:41:14] than Russia and Putin. This was stated today by one of the leaders [01:41:17] of the opposition, Florian Philippot. He believes that Macron could [01:41:21] annul the upcoming presidential elections in 2027 [01:41:25] under the pretext of Putin's interference. The former [01:41:28] French prime minister, an openly homosexual man, [01:41:32] Otal, told journalists, and he [01:41:35] plans to run, [01:41:38] told journalists that Putin is attacking [01:41:41] him. The Russian president, allegedly, is almost [01:41:44] personally preventing him from becoming president of the Fifth Republic, according to [01:41:48] Otal, and he also said this quite seriously, that by [01:41:51] direct order from the Kremlin, [01:41:55] on the internet, [01:41:57] they are spreading false information about him [01:42:01] and his team, slandering the honor and [01:42:04] dignity of the homosexual. [01:42:07] сведения. [01:42:09] The General Secretariat for Defense and National Security [01:42:13] informed us that we had fallen victim to interference emanating [01:42:17] from Russia, through fake press articles that used media [01:42:21] logos. In particular, BFM became a victim, [01:42:24] fake articles containing false information [01:42:28] about me were circulated, a foreign power is trying to manipulate elections [01:42:32] to steal the democratic choice of the French people, for me this is not [01:42:35] new, we expected it, we conducted a security audit in our [01:42:39] team, completely changed our processes, changed our [01:42:42] internal messaging system and took protective [01:42:46] measures. As Prime Minister during [01:42:48] the European elections, I saw that during the election campaign, [01:42:52] the Kremlin interfered against some candidates, but also [01:42:55] supported others, in particular. [01:43:27] website and video imitate the style of the real online publication [01:43:31] "Blaast". According to the government, the falsification was organized by [01:43:34] Russian special services. Raphael Glucksmann has long condemned such [01:43:38] interference. [01:43:42] The goal of the Russians is to sow chaos in our country and achieve the victory of pro-Russian [01:43:46] political forces in the elections. [01:43:47] сил. [01:43:51] On July 21, another candidate, Edouard Philippe, became a target. [01:43:55] This video falsely claims that. [01:45:10] package for air defense systems for Ukraine after the meeting between UK Foreign Minister [01:45:14] Ed Miliband and his counterpart Marco Rubio did not materialize. Overall, there was very [01:45:17] brief, scarce information about the course of these negotiations, it was said [01:45:21] that, among other things, the Ukrainian conflict was, of course, discussed. Britain [01:45:25] once again stated the necessity to support [01:45:28] Kyiv with all forces and means and promised to do so in [01:45:32] the future. As for the US, there were no [01:45:35] comments on this matter. Iran was also discussed. [01:45:39] Overall, as emphasized by the US Secretary of State's [01:45:42] office, America insists that [01:45:46] Europe participate as actively as possible in ensuring its [01:45:49] own security, but this is essentially a continuation of the [01:45:53] policy that US President Donald Trump has pursued so far. [01:46:01] him air defense, but NATO is also silent. [01:46:04] молчит. [01:46:10] quite evasively, he says that he intends to search for these missiles. The fact is that [01:46:13] Zelensky is asking for anti-missile missiles specifically [01:46:17] for American Patriot systems, and they are only produced in [01:46:21] the United States of America. It is known that a factory for the production of [01:46:24] Patriot missiles is to open in Germany in September, however, these will not be the most [01:46:28] modern, but rather somewhat outdated models, but production itself [01:46:31] is planned to start at the end of this year, and the first [01:46:34] products will appear, well, let's say, on the shelves only in [01:46:38] early next year, so all Zelensky's urgent demands [01:46:42] are met with a lack of understanding and unwillingness of European [01:46:45] allies to share their meager supplies, especially [01:46:48] since in this situation, especially considering the Iranian conflict, supplies from [01:46:51] the US are not forthcoming, so Zelensky's requests and [01:46:55] demands are usually met with [01:46:58] such vague statements, including from [01:47:01] the NATO Secretary General, who promises to look for something, but where [01:47:05] he will find it is not entirely clear. [01:47:08] он это найдёт не совсем. [01:47:40] we obviously need to continue to build up these efforts, because [01:47:43] we see how many drone factories [01:47:46] have opened in Europe, of course, they will try to ramp up [01:47:50] the production of air defense systems, so now is the best time [01:47:54] to completely bleed dry the Ukrainian Nazi regime, especially [01:47:58] since we understand that this relies not only on military support, but on [01:48:01] large-scale propaganda support and actually [01:48:04] brainwashing and changing consciousness. You gave [01:48:08] examples of Japan, we always discuss how real [01:48:12] facts can be completely leveled and even by connecting with Russia, almost [01:48:16] promote the idea that it's a children's Soviet Union Russia. Generations have already [01:48:19] passed who know about this tragedy. In [01:48:23] fact, future generations, due to American propaganda [01:48:27] and corrupt [01:48:29] Japanese leaders, many of whom received grants, studied, [01:48:33] etc., and are connected with the United States, will pursue this line. [01:48:36] A publication in the Guardian, I can't help but mention, it used to be... [01:48:57] not far from the shores of Britain, because of this one fact they say that [01:49:01] Russia is attacking, but do not attack our ships in [01:49:04] neutral, neutral waters, do not attack [01:49:08] our ships and our patrol boats will not. [01:49:53] socialist China is 30% [01:49:55] higher in terms of purchasing power parity economy, [01:49:59] 62% of Americans support socialist ideas, and he [01:50:03] is fighting, I think the political system of the United States will [01:50:06] change, the far right will strengthen, they have already [01:50:09] started talking, and so has Tucker [01:50:13] and others about creating their own movement, of course, not the so-called [01:50:17] Democrats, who have completely discredited [01:50:20] themselves, just like... [01:50:52] by the way, red flags of the Soviet [01:50:55] Union are waving at many rallies. The United States will defeat no one. [01:50:59] Lenin stands in Manhattan, no one will defeat him. Socialism will definitely [01:51:03] win in the USA, including true leftists [01:51:06] will gain momentum, because there is an example, the socialist [01:51:10] China is going, it is going, by the way, look at us, at Western magazines, [01:51:14] because Russia and Putin are often called communists in their Western magazines [01:51:17] and so on and so forth, that is, they are practically [01:51:21] they are afraid of the revival [01:51:25] of power, yes, propaganda is also going on here, some [01:51:28] people are saying that the political season has begun, we are for peace, yes, [01:51:32] we ourselves are most of all for peace, we just need to understand that peace can only be achieved [01:51:36] by achieving victory, because the Nazis never [01:51:40] stopped at what they achieved, we need to understand this clearly, and peace [01:51:44] will be stable when there is a strong economy, a strong [01:51:47] country, we will definitely achieve this, well, [01:51:50] of course, if we comment... [01:52:22] these are AMRAAM and Sidewinder, the latest modification is [01:52:25] air-to-air missiles for fighters, Americans converted them [01:52:28] to surface-to-air and accordingly supply them to other [01:52:32] countries, now Americans have taken everything for themselves, why don't they shoot them down, they [01:52:36] have F-16s with missiles for planes, [01:52:39] they tried to use F-16s, we [01:52:43] shot down 3 F-16s during the [01:52:46] air defense operation, there is information about [01:52:49] F-16s, it was not officially [01:52:53] confirmed, it was shot down by our Su-35, when it [01:52:56] approached, and we destroyed several F-16s on [01:52:59] the ground, are they capable of burning missiles, no, no, they don't [01:53:03] have these ultra-modern sights, if [01:53:06] Swedish Gripens come, there will be Meteor missiles with a range [01:53:10] of 2,000 km, and corresponding sights, everything [01:53:14] that exists today is 10-15 years behind [01:53:18] the equipment we use, and maybe even... [01:53:21] может быть и... [01:53:31] Now, returning to missiles, a scandal broke out today in the United States of America, accordingly, [01:53:35] Trump allegedly called Peter Hegseth and said that you [01:53:38] deceived me that our arsenal of air defense [01:53:42] missiles is almost at zero, and here are such [01:53:45] data that 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles were used [01:53:49] in a month, more than a thousand missiles. [01:53:53] Patriot in just 1 month, and this is 50% of the entire stock [01:53:56] and 80% of Tat missiles - these are ballistic missile [01:54:00] interceptors, that is, Americans are practically [01:54:04] broke, and it will take 3 years for the United [01:54:08] States of America to restore this [01:54:11] stock. The question arises, what kind of missiles are we talking about? [01:54:14] Yes, Lockheed Martin declares that it will produce [01:54:17] 2,000 missiles, but this is a drop in the ocean that the Pentagon [01:54:21] itself needs. Well, no one is immune from the fact that the Iranians will work a little [01:54:24] more. They are great, their [01:54:28] strategy of this massive missile [01:54:31] strike, modern ballistics four. [01:54:38] This is great. Well, that is, nothing good is shining for Zelensky, nothing good [01:54:42] is shining for Zelensky, we need to use the window of opportunity to strike every day, [01:54:45] as much as possible, destroy everything that can be destroyed now, we'll be [01:54:49] back in [01:54:49] a minute, [01:59:50] Russian missiles and drones once again broke through Ukrainian air defense and hit [01:59:53] almost 80 targets on enemy territory. Just now [01:59:57] the Russian Ministry of Defense published new footage. [02:00:00] Damage to the 110 kW substation in [02:00:03] Kharkiv region. A railway locomotive carrying [02:00:06] military cargo [02:00:09] was hit. Strikes on factories and [02:00:13] defense industry enterprises in Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Odesa [02:00:16] regions are reported. Not a single missile could be [02:00:19] intercepted. This was your favorite program
