[00:00:12] Hello, dear friends and comrades, your favorite program
[00:00:15] "60 Minutes" is live, and we are starting with urgent
[00:00:18] news. Trump is convinced that Moscow and Kyiv are close
[00:00:22] to being ready to sign a peace deal. The American president shared
[00:00:26] his predictions with the Financial Times. Ukrainian
[00:00:29] negotiators do not share his optimism. Zelensky
[00:00:32] continues to anger Donald Trump, announcing that after
[00:00:35] the Democrats' victory in the midterm elections, the flow
[00:00:39] of American weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces will resume,
[00:00:42] everything will be as it was under Joe Biden. He makes it clear that
[00:00:45] due to the policies of the current American administration, the role
[00:00:49] of the United States on the global arena has already diminished and may
[00:00:52] become even smaller. From Berlin,
[00:00:55] the Kyiv leader flies to Madrid, continuing to beg
[00:00:58] Europeans for money. Missile for Patriot air defense system.
[00:01:01] From Spain, he is already calling Trump's emissaries
[00:01:05] Witkoff and Kushner. Today they will discuss with
[00:01:08] Europeans and Ukrainians in Brussels future security
[00:01:11] guarantees, and not just for Kyiv. The American
[00:01:15] president's son-in-law announced that Washington's goal is to create
[00:01:18] a comprehensive security architecture that will forever
[00:01:21] eliminate the risk of war resuming,
[00:01:25] meaning the White House shares the Kremlin's position.
[00:01:28] A truce is not what is needed.
[00:02:38] He is protected from missiles, drones, and bullets. Inspecting the fortified bunker,
[00:02:41] Trump stated that the complex was designed to ensure
[00:02:45] absolute security during visits by Putin and
[00:02:48] Xi Jinping.
[00:02:51] This is constructively the most powerful building ever
[00:02:54] built. It was designed to ensure the president's
[00:02:58] security.
[00:03:01] If he hosts the president of China or Russia, or anyone
[00:03:05] else, when they dine with two or two and a half thousand
[00:03:08] guests, they are completely safe, it is absolutely
[00:03:11] invulnerable. In the Old World, they cling to any illusions. The head
[00:03:15] of European diplomacy hopes that the renewed Congress
[00:03:19] will force the White House to intensify pressure on
[00:03:21] Moscow.
[00:03:24] American voters unequivocally stated their choice. I
[00:03:27] very much hope that the new composition of Congress.
[00:04:00] As for Ukraine, I am rather optimistic in the sense that
[00:04:04] now in Congress a more active dialogue will resume between both
[00:04:08] parties about what can be done jointly to support Ukraine. During
[00:04:11] the election campaign, the parties restrained themselves for a certain time.
[00:04:15] I know that in both chambers, in both parties, there are staunch supporters
[00:04:19] of Ukraine who absolutely clearly realize: this Russian
[00:04:22] aggressive war threatens the security and freedom not only
[00:04:25] of Europe, but of the United States of America itself. Therefore, I am sure that
[00:04:29] we still.
[00:04:34] Trump's team, meanwhile, has moved to direct pressure on Kyiv. Special envoy Steve
[00:04:38] Witkoff and American president's son-in-law Jared Kushner held
[00:04:41] one-and-a-half-hour negotiations with Zelensky. Kyiv is again asking for
[00:04:45] missiles for the Patriot air defense system. Washington, meanwhile, declares the
[00:04:48] necessity of achieving not a respite, but an end
[00:04:52] to the war once and for all. By
[00:04:54] direct order of President Trump, we are working diligently with all parties
[00:04:58] to find a path to lasting.
[00:05:42] modest, we saw who the Russians named as the head of their delegation,
[00:05:46] Medinsky, this is far from a key figure in the Russian system, and he
[00:05:50] was already sent to negotiations then, when Putin was not actually
[00:05:53] interested in an agreement. From Moscow, statements are heard that Zelensky
[00:05:57] must either go to Moscow himself or call Putin, so
[00:06:01] expectations are extremely low. There is a clear feeling that all this
[00:06:04] is being pushed exclusively by Americans, and Donald Trump
[00:06:07] may simply lose interest in this immediately after
[00:06:10] the midterm elections.
[00:06:13] Does this mean that Donald Trump will become an absolute lame
[00:06:16] duck? No, not at all. First of all, in foreign
[00:06:20] policy he will continue to rule bypassing Congress, or at least
[00:06:23] will try to do so. Democrats in Congress will, of course, try
[00:06:27] to block everything that can be blocked, set guidelines
[00:06:31] and frameworks for the president to somehow rein
[00:06:33] him in. The publication Politico writes to sober
[00:06:37] Kyiv. Diplomats state that the attempt to celebrate victory for
[00:06:40] Ukraine is poisonous.
[00:07:42] will turn out, on the contrary, Zelensky yesterday spoke of the US very
[00:07:45] gloomily, he directly said, Americans are trying to throw Ukraine under
[00:07:49] the bus, and are trying at all costs to do business with the Russians, when
[00:07:52] Trump now sees the catastrophic election results, understands that
[00:07:56] his time is limited, only 2 years left, he
[00:07:59] might try to earn even faster some fantastic
[00:08:03] billions with Putin and pressure Ukraine, this is
[00:08:06] a diplomatic theater that serves only one purpose: to get
[00:08:10] Ukraine out of the way to deal with Putin.
[00:09:12] in your opinion, how will these elections affect
[00:09:14] Ukraine?
[00:09:17] Any elections and changes in the United States, let's be honest, the United
[00:09:20] States is the biggest, strongest country in the world. That is why
[00:09:24] elections and changes in the US always have an impact on any continent, on
[00:09:28] every continent, that is why this will have an impact on
[00:09:31] Ukraine.
[00:09:34] The New York Times writes: Trump views the Ukrainian conflict
[00:09:37] solely as an annoying obstacle to large-scale agreements
[00:09:41] with Moscow.
[00:10:25] a new aspect has emerged. The game is not just about
[00:10:28] bringing Russia out of isolation and striking lucrative energy
[00:10:32] deals, but about telling Ukraine: "You will get your
[00:10:35] share." It seems that Trump and his business-oriented
[00:10:39] envoys are trying to restore the channel for oil and
[00:10:42] gas supplies from Russia to Europe via Ukraine, erasing all measures
[00:10:46] of recent years to get rid of Russia's dominance, but this
[00:10:49] will leave Ukraine just as dependent as before, and this
[00:10:53] is a truly unpleasant new aspect.
[00:10:56] At the same time, Trump's haste is also explained by the political fiasco within
[00:10:59] the country. For the past months, the president has been trying to bring down
[00:11:03] record fuel prices, promising voters cheap diesel through
[00:11:07] agreements with Putin. Gas prices did not fall,
[00:11:10] the promise to end the Ukrainian conflict in 24 hours
[00:11:13] turned out to be a fiction, and disappointed Americans punished
[00:11:17] the White House in the elections.
[00:11:20] Will we see Trump punished by voters? Two years ago he
[00:11:23] promised that life would get better.
[00:11:55] This time, such a trick did not work. What he promised about
[00:11:58] Ukraine did not come true. Do not forget his constant
[00:12:01] words: "I will end the war in 24 hours." All his pressure
[00:12:05] on Zelensky ultimately led to absolutely nothing. And
[00:12:08] Americans feel this perfectly well. In
[00:12:11] the European political class, Trump's course is welcomed. In
[00:12:15] the Bundestag, they say that it is the master of the White House
[00:12:18] who remains the only Western player who is ready to force the parties to
[00:12:22] the negotiation process.
[00:12:55] European taxpayers are paying
[00:12:57] for it.
[00:13:00] Remember, those false rumors were spreading about us having a shortage
[00:13:03] of ammunition. That was true, we were short on some things, but low
[00:13:07] stock is too strong a statement. Our stocks were dwindling,
[00:13:10] yes, because we gave so much to Ukraine under Biden. We
[00:13:14] transferred $350 billion worth of equipment to them and didn't ask them for
[00:13:18] money. You know, I'm giving them weapons now, but through the European
[00:13:21] Union, and they're paying us 100% for it.
[00:13:25] At the same time, even if Democrats try to push new
[00:13:29] credit lines for Ukraine through Congress, the financial flow is still controlled by
[00:13:32] the presidential administration. Trump does not plan
[00:13:36] to change foreign policy for Kyiv. Americans
[00:13:39] believe that Europeans are capable of solving their own problems. Of course,
[00:13:43] certain accents will be placed, perhaps they will want
[00:13:47] to allocate more support to Ukraine, because it is Congress
[00:13:50] that holds the financial tap and similar things, but Democrats also
[00:13:54] want the war in Iran to end faster, while Trump
[00:13:57] has an incredible amount of power in foreign policy, so I don't think
[00:14:01] Europeans should hope for any radical changes.
[00:14:05] In historical perspective, the current elections were a tectonic shift.
[00:14:09] British analyst Michael Clarke on Sky News compares them to
[00:14:12] the crushing defeat of Democrats in 1966
[00:14:16] during the Vietnam War. In the House of
[00:14:18] Representatives, they lost 47 seats at once. In
[00:14:22] the Senate, the party lost three seats. I thought
[00:14:26] last night marked exactly 60 years since foreign
[00:14:29] policy played a decisive role in the midterm elections,
[00:14:33] exactly 60 years ago, the elections of 1966,
[00:14:36] and then everything revolved around the Vietnam War. It wasn't about
[00:14:40] the economy, but about middle-class children being drafted into
[00:14:43] Vietnam. This was extremely unpopular, the triumph of Democrats
[00:14:47] in '64 suddenly turned into their
[00:14:50] complete collapse in the midterm elections in '66. This
[00:14:53] was the last time when...
[00:15:06] Britain and the rest of Western Europe must prepare for an unstable and
[00:15:09] unpredictable geopolitical situation. Donald Trump will become
[00:15:12] uncontrollable, he has broken free from his chains, he has nothing to lose,
[00:15:16] he is not running for re-election, he wants to make a deal with Putin, he
[00:15:19] wants to get rid of Ukraine, he wants to resolve the war in Ukraine
[00:15:23] primarily by its.
[00:15:32] He is ready to derail Ukraine for this, he is
[00:15:36] running out of time. The West's previous line has failed.
[00:15:39] Bundestag deputy Röttgen says that Trump has broken
[00:15:43] the isolation strategy and single-handedly returns
[00:15:46] Moscow to the forefront of international diplomacy.
[00:15:50] It is not so much Russian policy that is striking, as American. The US
[00:15:53] President Trump decides, without any consultations with anyone, to abandon our
[00:15:57] previous line, which stated: "If you wage war, you are no longer
[00:16:01] part of the international
[00:16:02] community."
[00:17:00] business deals for the United States, which will be personally managed by Donald
[00:17:04] Trump. There is a reason why Putin sent Florida
[00:17:08] as the chief negotiator, the head
[00:17:10] of the Russian sovereign wealth fund. He
[00:17:14] knows perfectly well that the best way to make Trump surrender Ukraine
[00:17:17] is to make the deal financially beneficial personally for Donald
[00:17:21] Trump. The issue of aid to Ukraine is
[00:17:25] primarily in Trump's hands, so, for example, even if a Democratic
[00:17:28] Congress can approve new packages, they can be stalled
[00:17:32] due to actions by the White House, due to the positions of the State Department
[00:17:35] or the War Department. The situation will become even more difficult, because
[00:17:39] we are entering the territory of co-existence of warring branches
[00:17:42] of government, which creates an additional burden of costs and loss
[00:17:46] of time. None of the current scenarios look
[00:17:49] promising for Ukraine, because each of them leads only to
[00:17:53] additional loss of time. If Democrats win Congress this
[00:17:56] year, their main priorities will be impeachment, subpoenas,
[00:18:00] attempts to hold Donald Trump and his
[00:18:03] administration accountable for all their actions. We
[00:18:06] will see that...
[00:18:15] The British press states that the only thing left for the Democratic Party now is to try
[00:18:18] to legislatively cement sanctions against Moscow, so that
[00:18:21] Trump cannot lift them by unilateral decree. In The
[00:18:25] Guardian, the former head of the human rights organization Human Rights Watch,
[00:18:29] Kenneth Roth, calls on congressmen to curtail
[00:18:31] the foreign policy freedom of the American
[00:18:34] president.
[00:18:37] must be at the negotiating table, because there are things only
[00:18:40] she can do, like unfreeze Russian assets or lift
[00:18:44] European sanctions. However, until we create strategic
[00:18:47] dilemmas and problems for the Russians that only we can resolve,
[00:18:51] we will not be admitted to this table on equal terms. We must admit directly,
[00:18:55] neither the Russians nor the Americans want to see Europeans at this
[00:18:58] table. Democrats have already announced that
[00:19:02] they will create investigative committees, including concerning this strange
[00:19:06] shutdown or... the disruption of Starlink connections in Ukraine by Elon
[00:19:10] Musk, however, things could get even worse if in the next
[00:19:14] 2 years Trump cannot advance his domestic agenda due to the Democrats'
[00:19:17] blockade, he will focus on the only area where the president
[00:19:21] has broad autonomy: foreign policy, and this is certainly not
[00:19:25] in Europe's interest. A scenario arises in which he may force
[00:19:28] Ukrainians to concede and give the Russians everything they want,
[00:19:32] impose a dictated peace on them, despite resistance from Democrats in
[00:19:36] Congress, this was
[00:20:08] of the night, we sincerely hope that he
[00:20:11] will continue his peacekeeping efforts, there are
[00:20:15] developments,
[00:20:17] soon there will be another round of trilateral
[00:20:21] negotiations,
[00:20:24] successful peacekeeping efforts, humanitarian,
[00:20:28] Melania Trump, we hope that all of this
[00:20:31] will continue. Congress will not interfere.
[00:20:35] Yes, this is an internal American matter.
[00:20:38] Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov stressed: Russia's
[00:20:41] course does not depend on political fluctuations in other countries, and
[00:20:45] Kremlin press secretary Peskov stated that they hope for continued
[00:20:49] peacekeeping.
[00:22:36] Details of the new corruption
[00:22:38] scandal. Watch our
[00:22:40] report.
[00:22:42] Contracted torture, kidnapping, extortion of millions of dollars in
[00:22:46] basements and other violent crimes.
[00:23:20] responsible for negotiations with law enforcement, a certain
[00:23:23] Mexican drug dealer Yegor Burkin, and the founder of the criminal
[00:23:27] cartel Khimprom. Russian citizenship, fled to Ukraine in
[00:23:31] 2016 after being declared wanted.
[00:23:34] Accomplices, Boxer and Pasha. The defendants
[00:23:38] used connections in law enforcement agencies, in particular they received
[00:23:42] information from databases, access to cameras, safe locations and
[00:23:45] search materials. One of the examples of such situations: three
[00:23:49] attackers in masks and tactical clothing, after
[00:23:52] waiting for the victim to leave the sports club, attacked her.
[00:23:55] Two of them deprived her of the ability to resist,
[00:23:59] holding her by the neck and leg, the third struck her with a metal
[00:24:02] pipe. They were covered by a certain
[00:24:05] consultant, a police officer and another person involved in the case, so that
[00:24:09] no questions at all remained, a certain Akim,
[00:24:12] Major General of the SBU, acted. In total, the group had 12
[00:24:16] people.
[00:24:26] In masks, beaten, they attacked people right on the street, all this
[00:24:30] was caught on surveillance cameras, but no punishment
[00:24:33] followed.
[00:24:36] Criminals repeatedly receive photos of victims' cars from surveillance cameras
[00:24:40] of the "Safe City" system. Access to the system was carried out from the account
[00:24:44] of an employee of the Department for the Protection of National Statehood
[00:24:47] of the SBU. SBU. In mode. covered everyone, hands were untied
[00:24:52] so much that
[00:25:04] Ukrainian showdowns reached European level, torture
[00:25:08] and beatings were also abroad, including in
[00:25:11] Vienna, suppression was well
[00:25:13] paid for,
[00:25:16] for the period from October 15, 2025 to 25.
[00:25:28] Another participant, Price, head of the Department of
[00:25:31] Strategic Investigations of the Police, Vladimir Tsenov, has
[00:25:34] already been detained by NABU, responsible for covering call centers, another
[00:25:38] crime of the group.
[00:25:41] Intriguing details of NABU's Corfagen operation have emerged. According to
[00:25:44] the investigation, the activities of fraudulent call centers were covered by
[00:25:48] active high-ranking officials for bribes.
[00:26:32] the protection was estimated at $7 million per month. Money
[00:26:36] was laundered through jewelry and real estate, and the scheme was covered by
[00:26:39] the director of the cyber department, Sergey Krapiva. In the case, he
[00:26:43] was listed as a chancellor. In the recordings published by NABU,
[00:26:46] he often mentioned his boss Ruslan Kravchenko,
[00:26:49] ex-Prosecutor General of Ukraine. He fled the country on the night of
[00:26:52] September 14th through the Polish border. Now he is sitting in the same
[00:26:56] Vienna where the work of this organized crime group is recorded. Those who
[00:26:59] remained in Ukraine were ready for the search.
[00:27:32] the search began, SBU officers were called to the scene
[00:27:36] of the incident, it is unclear why, like some private
[00:27:39] security firm that protects the interests of its owner.
[00:27:43] These people were the head of the main department of internal security
[00:27:47] of the SBU, Anton Kravchuk, and the first deputy head of the department for
[00:27:50] the protection of national statehood, Sergey
[00:27:53] Duka. In Carthage, the total amount of their bribes exceeded
[00:27:56] a billion hryvnias. The head of the SBU Poklad tried to
[00:27:59] whiten the reputation. The Security Service expects
[00:28:03] a transparent, objective, impartial investigation.
[00:28:07] This was discussed, in particular, with the heads of NABU and SAP. There is clear
[00:28:10] and constructive cooperation. In addition, I have contacts with our
[00:28:14] colleagues from the special services of partner countries. We are doing everything necessary to ensure that
[00:28:17] the investigation of these crimes takes place in other jurisdictions. As for the so-called
[00:28:21] Mexican, involved in the case, I suggest
[00:28:24] he arrive in Ukraine and surrender to law enforcement agencies. Or we
[00:28:28] will find him ourselves, wherever he may be hiding. We have experience, the SBU is working.
[00:28:32] And will work only for Ukraine, but it will be difficult to justify itself after such
[00:28:35] a corruption scheme. The organized crime group also
[00:28:39] produced counterfeit euros in an underground workshop.
[00:28:42] Here it is written for me, here it was written
[00:28:45] plus or minus then 19700.
[00:28:49] I talked about this situation, here
[00:28:52] are the amounts, well our,
[00:28:55] brother, the car is ready, three stacks, need to issue 23,000
[00:28:59] euros in Berlin, among them one.
[00:29:06] And even this is not the end, the next episode is drug trafficking through
[00:29:09] U-420 stores, a well-known chain in Ukraine that sells
[00:29:13] souvenirs and tea. To supposedly legalize the sale, the Mexican
[00:29:16] criminal discusses bribing new individuals. So you better think
[00:29:20] how to make sure that different people, either ministers
[00:29:24] of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or ministers of health, do not put a spoke in our
[00:29:27] wheels
[00:29:30] with prohibitions.
[00:29:32] I'll tell you straight, what's wrong, that is, we are ready to give Comrade
[00:29:36] K 5 o'clock. Comrade K, most likely, Minister
[00:29:39] of Internal Affairs Igor Klymenko, judging by the conversation, agreed to
[00:29:43] cooperate, but for a share of half of their business
[00:29:46] turnover. The participants in the conversation proposed a new sales scheme, where
[00:29:50] the recipe for substances changes more often than they are
[00:29:53] banned. They expected to get three thousand a
[00:29:56] day for this, and by summer already five thousand. They
[00:30:00] were looking for ways to secure their business. Parliament and
[00:30:03] relevant bills, one of the options they considered
[00:30:06] was the development and adoption of bills that would
[00:30:09] fully legalize marijuana in Ukraine, and
[00:30:13] they owe me to set up a meeting to
[00:30:16] discuss this legalization. This
[00:30:19] was probably to be resolved by the head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, who was also
[00:30:23] supposed to ensure the legalization of marijuana in Ukraine.
[00:30:26] They planned to negotiate with Health Minister Lyashko
[00:30:30] to shift the focus of attention.
[00:31:02] but the searches went smoothly, personnel in the stores were warned,
[00:31:06] not all goods were seized. The Mexican promised to deal with
[00:31:10] one of the heads of the National Police department. Immediately
[00:31:13] consider the offer. 2 million dollars to remove,
[00:31:17] throw out this, how they removed him from the staff,
[00:31:20] and while he is not in office, brother, we
[00:31:24] will clearly understand everything there,
[00:31:27] by tomorrow, if they don't give an answer, we
[00:31:30] will then talk to the general, find out what
[00:31:34] materials are there, what they are preparing. The Mexican felt
[00:31:37] untouchable by law enforcement, the criminal
[00:31:41] immune with powerful cover from the SBU.
[00:31:44] The criminal asks Akim to introduce him to the new head of the department
[00:31:48] of strategic investigations of the National Police
[00:31:50] of Ukraine. Brother, if possible, with Artem, set up
[00:31:54] with the new DSR. Will do.
[00:31:58] Akim also informs the criminals about new appointments of SBU employees to
[00:32:01] administrative positions. Your Kent is appointed to Dnipro.
[00:32:05] To the CE.
[00:32:07] Yes. Jerk. Hey,
[00:32:11] bro. Yes, I vouched for you. What's
[00:32:14] up? Bro, are you putting the cops in their place?
[00:32:17] Yes, so, Vanya,
[00:32:21] you're a seasoned wolf. The leaders of
[00:32:24] the organized crime group calmly met with the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
[00:32:27] and the National Police, in their correspondence they called them mice and
[00:32:30] emphasized that they should know their
[00:32:33] place.
[00:32:40] That's what a mafia is. Complete fusion of state administrative
[00:32:43] structures with criminal groups,
[00:32:45] officials, vice-prime ministers, ministers, heads
[00:32:55] with the participation of high-ranking
[00:32:59] of the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Police, imagine
[00:33:03] the scale of the disaster.
[00:33:07] Pillar of flame, sky covered in black smoke, ablaze, the globally
[00:33:10] renowned Azov torture chamber, Borshchahivka
[00:33:14] near Kyiv. After the Geran hit, warehouses and
[00:33:17] the Epicenter hypermarket are burning. Eyewitnesses report sounds of repeated
[00:33:21] detonation. Ammunition is exploding. The Russian Army
[00:33:24] continues to knock out rear infrastructure. The Ministry of Defense reports the
[00:33:28] destruction of the Nova Poshta logistics terminal in the Kharkiv region, another dry cargo ship
[00:33:31] in the vicinity of Odesa,
[00:33:34] and a power substation in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The energy
[00:33:38] collapse in Ukraine is now entering a new
[00:33:40] phase. The Ministry of Energy reported that energy production
[00:33:44] due to Russian strikes has already forced nuclear power plants to reduce
[00:33:47] output. In Kyiv, the generation of all
[00:33:50] absolutely all thermal power plants has been destroyed. At best,
[00:33:54] it will be possible to restore 10-15%
[00:33:57] of capacity, and even this will require lengthy
[00:34:00] work. After a massive strike on the energy complex in
[00:34:03] Kyiv and the region, emergency power outages continue.
[00:34:06] There is no electricity in the region for an average of
[00:34:10] 15 hours a day. Outraged people took to
[00:34:14] the streets and blocked roads. Experts
[00:34:16] warn that when the frosts hit, there will be no
[00:34:20] electricity for entire days. In Kyiv, emergency
[00:34:23] heating points are being opened. A communal apocalypse
[00:34:26] is compounded by a transport collapse. Near the South Bridge, traffic jams
[00:34:30] stretch for several kilometers. Buses
[00:34:33] are packed to capacity. At bus stops, there are giant
[00:34:36] queues. Don't expect the situation to improve either,
[00:34:40] said a representative of Ukrainian intelligence. Before
[00:34:43] winter, Russia, according to Ukrainian information,
[00:34:47] has accumulated up to 700 ballistic and several
[00:34:50] thousand cruise missiles, which means the strikes will not
[00:34:53] stop.
[00:34:54] Look,
[00:35:02] move it to the left, there are cars there.
[00:35:45] destroyed by Russian thermal power plants. The company published photos on its official
[00:35:48] social media page. The pictures show thermal power plants damaged by enemy
[00:35:52] strikes. On November 3, three thermal power plants at once ceased
[00:35:56] their operation due to massive destruction as a result of Russian
[00:35:59] attacks. The companies explained that the enemy constantly attacks Ukraine's
[00:36:03] energy system. In some regions of Ukraine, electricity
[00:36:07] supply restrictions are applied, Ukrenergo reports. These are forced
[00:36:11] measures resorted to due to damage to the energy system by Russians.
[00:38:27] What has significantly changed is that now water supply is suffering and heat
[00:38:31] supply is under threat.
[00:38:38] all generation capacities located in Kyiv have been destroyed. Kyiv had
[00:38:41] quite significant capacities? What should we prepare for
[00:38:45] in winter? Look, I objectively think that during
[00:38:49] emergency shutdowns we may have situations when indeed for
[00:38:53] 16 to 20 hours without
[00:38:55] electricity. will not be for hours,
[00:38:58] but days, the reality is that now we
[00:39:02] are literally hanging by a thread after we destroyed thermal
[00:39:05] generation, and after we destroyed, in addition to thermal generation,
[00:39:09] the power transmission system,
[00:39:12] but there's also a third problem, today they hit
[00:39:16] substations that are responsible for supplying electricity from the Khmelnytsky NPP, so it may
[00:39:19] turn out that the Khmelnytsky NPP will not be able
[00:39:23] to supply electricity, well then...
[00:40:58] According to him, Moscow is effectively using political
[00:41:01] destabilization in Poland, undermining the authority of the Polish
[00:41:04] government and generally preparing an attack on Poland as early as the first
[00:41:08] half of November, that is, they are preparing right
[00:41:11] now. The fact that Poland has truly turned into
[00:41:14] one big Shepeto circus is openly spoken about
[00:41:17] in Europe. Irish economist Pilkington,
[00:41:21] commenting on Tusk's rather strange rhetoric, compared the Polish
[00:41:24] government to a paranoid bunker
[00:41:27] filled with hysterical psychopaths, this is a direct
[00:41:31] quote, and suggested sending the prime minister for compulsory
[00:41:35] treatment.
[00:41:37] The most serious justification.
[00:42:55] constitutional body of the Republic
[00:42:56] of Poland. I think anyone who objectively
[00:43:00] assesses what is happening has absolutely no doubt that we
[00:43:04] are facing exactly such
[00:43:05] ситуацией.
[00:43:09] Presidential powers.
[00:43:19] I warn the gentlemen from the presidential chancellery, if they try to forcefully enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we will not
[00:43:23] allow them to. The President of Poland is not the Sun
[00:43:24] King.
[00:43:27] He has powers strictly defined by the constitution.
[00:46:40] Now they are showing Americans photos from Warsaw and
[00:46:43] asking: so what do you think, is this a stable
[00:46:46] to move your base there from
[00:46:49] Germany? Whatever Donald Tusk's goals may be.
[00:46:55] Donald Tusk is the end product of an entire school of political
[00:46:58] nonsense that has dominated us for the last 35
[00:47:02] years. Well, right now we are moving to
[00:47:06] the United States of America, our special correspondent,
[00:47:09] Ekaterina Mur, is on direct call. Katya, hello, today at
[00:47:12] the White House, in anticipation of the meeting that
[00:47:16] will take place next week in Abu
[00:47:19] the wife of an American.
[00:47:53] why exactly now many analysts
[00:47:56] are paying attention to the fact that, as you rightly pointed
[00:47:59] out, this kind of precedes
[00:48:03] negotiations of a different order, yes, a military
[00:48:06] order, many analysts
[00:48:10] believe that this is related on
[00:48:13] the one hand to the fact that such soft
[00:48:16] power of the United States is being activated, previous deals
[00:48:20] that were reached with... with the participation of Melania
[00:48:23] positive reaction in
[00:48:27] the American media, on the other hand, they are also evaluated very
[00:48:30] positively, and thus the parties are trying
[00:48:34] to bring to a common denominator. In
[00:48:36] conflictology, this is exactly when the parties
[00:48:40] are very far from any agreement, they are offered
[00:48:44] what they are actually close on, and this is exactly
[00:48:47] the humanitarian track, so on the one hand,
[00:48:50] of course, it's positive.
[00:48:52] such a signal from the first lady, but on the other hand, in Washington
[00:48:56] in the State Department undoubtedly
[00:48:59] place very high hopes precisely on this
[00:49:02] track, I repeat, in order to bring the parties, which
[00:49:05] are actually quite far from an agreement, to a common
[00:49:09] denominator, at least in something. Katya, another important question, the Financial Times
[00:49:13] reports that the famous diesel deal of the American president, the deal with
[00:49:17] Russia after the defeat in the midterm elections, is under
[00:49:20] threat. It became known today
[00:49:22] that two of the three tankers turned around, what do we know about
[00:49:26] this?
[00:49:28] Indeed, the Financial Times reports this,
[00:49:32] and it's primarily about the fact that
[00:49:36] traders, ports, well, in principle, all American
[00:49:39] port infrastructure is very afraid that
[00:49:43] after such a second-day effect, this is what they are afraid of,
[00:49:47] that ex post facto Congress may cancel
[00:49:50] the decree of the American president. And
[00:49:53] there is a certain legal conflict, if this
[00:49:56] happens, then sanctions may
[00:50:00] hit them, that is, they may be accused of
[00:50:03] not complying with the sanctions regime, because
[00:50:07] the sanctions themselves were adopted at the level
[00:50:10] of the American Congress, and
[00:50:12] the president either has or does not have
[00:50:15] authority, so far lawyers in America cannot
[00:50:19] clearly define this, but certainly,
[00:50:23] what is now in the American Senate, after
[00:50:26] the new Congress comes into
[00:50:29] force, now it will be very
[00:50:32] difficult to prove, against Donald Trump
[00:50:35] certain cases will be
[00:50:38] opened, they will be heard, among others, in Congress, and of course,
[00:50:42] operators are afraid that these hearings will hit them by
[00:50:46] ricochet, they are trying to
[00:50:49] somehow understand what to do with this deal. Thank you.
[00:51:22] there simple guys fought,
[00:51:25] open Russophobes fought, open
[00:51:28] faggots with closed Russophobes with closed
[00:51:32] faggots. Well, as they say, elections,
[00:51:34] elections, democrats, not very good
[00:51:38] people. I will explain.
[00:51:41] Of course, closed ones are better for us, because
[00:51:44] we can at least discuss something with them, with these, nothing can be discussed.
[00:51:47] They say, go and
[00:51:50] die.
[00:52:35] that's the problem, and he himself admits it, that
[00:52:39] we lost this because of the war with Iran, we need to go all
[00:52:42] the way, but the thing is, they,
[00:52:46] take the Democrats, or rather take the Americans, for example,
[00:52:49] and Europe, in relation to Ukraine, well, their goals are
[00:52:53] the same, they just look at them
[00:52:56] differently,
[00:52:58] the United States is doing everything to finish this now,
[00:53:02] let's sign something like Minsk today. It's
[00:53:05] not a fact that we will comply with it, why do we need it, well, it didn't
[00:53:09] work out here, to wrap fish here, and so on, they are high-class
[00:53:13] specialists, well, let's finish, this is important
[00:53:16] for them, because the costs that
[00:53:20] they, they exceed the profit received, they
[00:53:23] understand that it will only get worse, and the Europeans
[00:53:27] say, no, let's fight, fight
[00:53:31] to the end, let Ukraine be, it's not
[00:53:34] sovereign. Will any piece of it remain, we
[00:53:37] will still leave it independent, and like Estonia, but it will be
[00:53:41] even more Russophobic, that's their
[00:53:43] only position, but that is a springboard for
[00:53:47] further problems for an attack, let's say, on the Russian
[00:53:51] Federation, that both of these are one and the same, no
[00:53:54] difference, you understand, right now, of course, I
[00:53:58] perfectly understand that we
[00:54:01] have
[00:54:03] protests going on there... some in Ukraine, yes, about these
[00:54:07] prisons there, there about power outages
[00:54:10] but the question there is that this
[00:54:14] busification, it's, you could say,
[00:54:17] 500,000 people in total, imagine, 500,000
[00:54:20] deserters, that is, all of them, those who are busified, they all
[00:54:23] run away, who is fighting, well, they
[00:54:27] are fighting and really somewhere there,
[00:54:30] let's say, holding us back, and somewhere counterattacking
[00:54:33] even, and how... who are these people, it's interesting to know,
[00:54:37] you understand, I have such a suspicion that this
[00:54:40] coalition of those willing is already supplying a certain
[00:54:44] number of people who are fighting there and whom we
[00:54:47] surround, they don't surrender, because if they surrender, they will go
[00:54:51] through Moscow here on foot, these are NATO members in pure
[00:54:55] form, we need to continue only one thing, what
[00:54:58] is happening, strikes on energy and further
[00:55:02] coercion to surrender, we'll be back in a minute.
[01:00:39] 21:30,
[01:00:44] new details of Azov's torture in...
[01:01:17] Simply because of dissatisfaction with mobilization, allegedly
[01:01:20] unconfirmed rumors in social networks, tortures,
[01:01:23] footage of beaten, crippled prisoners,
[01:01:27] Bennett seems to ignore it. But he emphasizes
[01:01:30] that the paramedic who came to rescue the hostages
[01:01:33] was dressed up. This was also stated
[01:01:35] by the head of Zelensky's office, terrorist Budanov.
[01:01:39] The girl herself, Valentina Molodaya, has already been sent to
[01:01:42] prison. By court decision, she will spend 2 months in pre-trial detention
[01:01:46] without the right to bail. Allegedly, the woman provoked riots for
[01:01:50] money, for Kremlin money. Valentina
[01:01:52] Molodaya herself denies the accusation, she stated in court that she is
[01:01:56] a real practicing doctor, owns
[01:01:59] a clinic, just wanted to help people. She faces up to 8 years
[01:02:02] in prison on trumped-up charges. Another
[01:02:06] woman has also been taken into custody,
[01:02:09] allegedly an accomplice of Molodaya. Tatyana
[01:02:12] Kireeva came to the torture chamber to secure the release of a familiar
[01:02:16] hostage. Whom the Banderites beat, now she
[01:02:20] is accused of obstructing the activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,
[01:02:23] disclosing information about the location of military
[01:02:26] facilities, and organizing mass riots. Not
[01:02:30] a single executioner from Azov has been arrested yet and
[01:02:34] they are not going to punish them, but they added to the scandalous website
[01:02:37] Myrotvorets a fourteen-year-old
[01:02:40] teenager who was beaten by neo-Nazis. He is accused
[01:02:44] of undermining Ukraine's
[01:02:45] defense capability,
[01:02:49] providing information on the internet about a military facility, don't you think this is
[01:02:52] resonant? Do you think this is a military facility, were
[01:02:56] you there?
[01:03:30] What does this mean? So many of these buildings? In what
[01:03:33] sense? Such large buildings, what are they?
[01:03:37] Torture chambers below, and above sit foreign gentlemen who
[01:03:40] manage all this? Or how to define this for me as a civilian
[01:03:44] person?
[01:03:47] According to the investigation, the events in Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka could
[01:03:50] have been a pre-planned provocation in order to help individual soldiers
[01:03:54] leave their duty station.
[01:03:58] Moloda herself...
[01:05:00] turned out to be the official temporary deployment point for Azov, mobilized
[01:05:03] people were there before being sent to training centers, as well as
[01:05:06] servicemen who had previously voluntarily left the unit
[01:05:09] and were awaiting legal
[01:05:10] distribution.
[01:05:16] The military remained in the house because there was their own medical center, this is how the head of
[01:05:20] the National Guard Alexander Pivnenko explains it, commenting on the conflict near
[01:05:23] Kyiv, according to him, if the servicemen had a need for
[01:05:27] better medical care, they would have...
[01:06:00] with friends and climbed onto the fence of the house, according to him, people in black uniform and
[01:06:03] balaclavas threw him down from there, dragged him into the territory and started
[01:06:07] beating him, besides the teenager, his parents were also added to the database, they
[01:06:10] are accused of failing to fulfill parental duties, this
[01:06:14] is that boy, this is me, that guy who the TCC took home,
[01:06:18] I'm lying in the
[01:06:21] trauma center now, well,
[01:06:25] they cut my fingers,
[01:06:28] I just already.
[01:07:06] Fear united Europe, nationalism can split it, this is
[01:07:09] how The Economist magazine titled another propaganda piece aimed against
[01:07:13] the rising right-wing forces. The publication
[01:07:16] is frightened by the elections in Spain, France, Poland, Italy, which
[01:07:19] will take place in the next 12 months. In the Fifth
[01:07:23] Republic, the clear favorite of the presidential
[01:07:26] campaign is advocating for the normalization of relations with Russia.
[01:07:31] In Italy, Roberto Vannacci, a retired
[01:07:34] general, former military attaché in Moscow, who speaks complimentarily and
[01:07:38] respectfully of Putin, is gaining strength. In Germany, the most
[01:07:41] popular anti-war party is Alternative for Germany.
[01:07:45] Even in pro-European Spain, Eurosceptics from the Vox
[01:07:48] party may enter the government. All this could
[01:07:52] lead to the collapse of a united Europe, the European Union, into
[01:07:55] two blocs. The Mediterranean will do business with Russia, buy
[01:07:59] Russian energy resources, and the North-Eastern bloc.
[01:08:02] The Balts, Poles, Finns, Scandinavians, and the British who
[01:08:06] joined them, having left the European Union, will continue
[01:08:09] to arm Kyiv and provoke a global conflict. Well, while
[01:08:13] European experts discuss geopolitics, their countries are literally
[01:08:16] torn apart by mass protests. In France today there is another
[01:08:20] nationwide strike. According to special services, up to
[01:08:24] 800,000 people may take to the streets. The action was called
[01:08:27] "Rainbow Thursday," but the action brings nothing rainbow to the
[01:08:31] French. Cities will again be engulfed in a wave of riots,
[01:08:34] looting. The US Embassy even recommended Americans to stay
[01:08:38] away, and Trump said that Europe, which turned its borders into a
[01:08:42] backyard, is going through terrible times
[01:08:45] and is dying before our eyes. Details
[01:08:49] in the report.
[01:09:10] Shoulder to shoulder against police batons.
[01:10:20] I can film, don't push me with a baton, calm down, I'm protecting my students from you, I'm protecting my students from the police.
[01:10:23] In northern France, in Lille, the blockade of the lycée also ended in
[01:10:27] clashes with the police, one of the high school students launches firecrackers
[01:10:31] towards the gendarmes directly from the school
[01:10:33] grounds.
[01:10:37] The whole difficulty is that what is happening is already unfolding on the school's own
[01:10:41] territory, judging by what... we see, according to the information I received after
[01:10:44] phone conversations with several principals of educational institutions,
[01:10:48] the protest movement is now penetrating inside schools, in front of us is a young
[01:10:52] man, whose identity has not yet been established, he opened fire from
[01:10:55] a pyrotechnic
[01:10:56] mortar.
[01:11:00] Demonstrations do not stop, despite bans, students
[01:11:03] staged processions through the center
[01:11:05] of Paris.
[01:11:15] today a nationwide strike, almost 800 thousand people will take to the streets of France,
[01:11:18] according to special services, only in Paris
[01:11:22] up to 80 thousand
[01:11:24] participants are expected. About 250 processions are planned
[01:11:28] throughout France. Participants intend to protest against
[01:11:31] the decline in purchasing power. Schoolchildren and
[01:11:35] representatives of the Yellow
[01:11:37] Vests movement are joining the movement.
[01:12:13] The day of manifestation has already been declared a day of increased risk. The authorities
[01:12:16] fear large-scale riots and new clashes with the police.
[01:12:30] We have been participating in protests for several weeks. We want to tell workers that
[01:12:34] the struggle of schoolchildren against the lack of funding is the same struggle
[01:12:37] as against layoffs, low wages and the rising cost of living. We
[01:12:41] believe that today.
[01:12:55] that radical groups will join the protests in the center
[01:12:58] of Paris, a new outbreak of violence is not ruled out. French
[01:13:02] Interior Minister Lara Nies said he would mobilize
[01:13:05] 70,000
[01:13:06] gendarmes.
[01:13:11] As for the police forces that will be involved, the scheme will be exactly the
[01:13:14] same as on October 31. When I say exactly the same, I mean
[01:13:18] first of all the same number of employees. The same number of
[01:13:21] mobile units will be involved this time.
[01:13:56] recently, the coordination of demonstration routes has constantly caused
[01:14:00] disputes, because Emmanuel Macron said that he would like to abandon
[01:14:04] holding protest actions in city centers, especially in
[01:14:07] Paris. Trade unions proposed a route from
[01:14:11] Bastille Square to Concorde Square, but the administrative
[01:14:15] court rejected this option and approved the route proposed by
[01:14:18] the police.
[01:14:21] The US Embassy in Paris publishes a warning for American citizens.
[01:14:25] It recommends staying away from
[01:14:27] demonstrations.
[01:14:29] Protests, demonstrations, and mass actions continue throughout the country.
[01:14:32] A nationwide strike involving representatives
[01:14:35] of various industries is planned for Thursday, November 5.
[01:14:38] Four major railway unions
[01:14:42] have announced a joint nationwide strike. It is recommended to avoid
[01:14:46] the demonstration area and any places of mass gatherings
[01:14:49] of people.
[01:14:52] The government can no longer cope even with its basic
[01:14:55] duties, according to the French Le Monde, this is how representatives of Macron's
[01:14:59] political camp themselves assess the situation. Dissatisfaction
[01:15:02] is growing among ordinary French people, taxes are rising,
[01:15:05] expenses are stifling business, enterprises are losing opportunities for
[01:15:09] development, nothing is left of the promised prosperity.
[01:15:12] следа.
[01:15:21] Protests are not for me, although I must admit, I completely agree with.
[01:15:58] French authorities still cannot extinguish the fire at home, but
[01:16:02] they are already discussing who benefits from it, in Moscow they are allegedly only
[01:16:05] waiting for footage from Parisian streets, and the fact that these shots
[01:16:09] are taken by the French themselves, demonstrating the government's
[01:16:12] helplessness, is apparently a secondary issue.
[01:16:16] Riots in France serve Russian propaganda as proof that
[01:16:20] the West is decaying, all this, of course, perfectly fits into
[01:16:24] the usual picture of the world created by Russian
[01:16:26] propaganda. Europe is perishing deservedly. However, this time
[01:16:30] the discussion about events in France goes far beyond ordinary
[01:16:34] propaganda. In the West, fears are growing that the European
[01:16:37] crisis could spread to the other side of the Atlantic. The fact is that
[01:16:41] France is approaching a debt crisis, and the political
[01:16:44] system is barely able to agree on
[01:16:47] unpopular measures. According to CNN, the US has similar
[01:16:51] problems. Growing debt, expensive borrowing, and a lack of.
[01:17:08] GDP to the current level, just under 120%. France's primary budget deficit is huge, from the point
[01:17:11] of view of public finances, the current situation
[01:17:15] is fundamentally unsustainable. But can
[01:17:17] a similar situation be repeated on the other side
[01:17:20] of the Atlantic?
[01:17:24] Protests
[01:18:19] now in France, Germany across Europe, the political
[01:18:23] class has once again proven its complete insolvency, the authorities
[01:18:27] did nothing to stop what is happening, all this only
[01:18:30] reflects the weakened, cornered state
[01:18:33] of Europe and the European Union.
[01:18:37] Well, we are now moving to London, Alexander
[01:18:41] Khabarov is on direct call, Alexander, hello, in Brussels there was
[01:18:44] a meeting, comprehensive and broad, they tried
[01:18:47] to settle the Ukrainian conflict for the umpteenth
[01:18:50] time, there were Americans, Ukrainians, and importantly
[01:18:54] Britons, but the press says that the meeting was a failure, why
[01:18:57] so, what did they want and what didn't
[01:19:00] happen?
[01:19:04] Good afternoon, Olga, but as far as I understand, negotiations will be
[01:19:08] held today as well, perhaps in a slightly different format at
[01:19:11] NATO headquarters, but the fact is
[01:19:14] that the allies, I mean the allies primarily
[01:19:18] of the North Atlantic Alliance, have
[01:19:21] rather serious disagreements regarding
[01:19:25] the general view on the Ukrainian conflict and its
[01:19:28] further development or resolution. The position
[01:19:31] of the US is expressed extremely clearly. The United
[01:19:35] States of America, primarily represented by .
[01:20:08] at the end of November, November 22, to hold a meeting
[01:20:11] again in Berlin, the so-called coalition of the willing,
[01:20:15] the coalition of the willing under the leadership of France and
[01:20:18] Great Britain in the coming days will begin its
[01:20:22] maneuvers in Poland, practicing various
[01:20:25] scenarios for deployment in the future, as they
[01:20:28] believe, after the resolution of the conflict, of their forces in Ukraine,
[01:20:32] against which Moscow categorically
[01:20:35] opposes. Well, and exactly so... there are also
[01:20:39] financial difficulties. For example, the United States of America,
[01:20:42] as it became known in recent days, intends to demand
[01:20:46] partners increase their contributions to
[01:20:49] the program of supplying priority
[01:20:52] arms deliveries for Ukraine. The fact is that Americans
[01:20:55] it turns out have already supplied more weapons than they received
[01:20:59] in financial compensation for it. They intend to demand about
[01:21:02] 2 billion dollars from allies so
[01:21:05] that they repay these...
[01:21:08] debts. Therefore, there is a whole complex of issues here. It is important
[01:21:11] to understand that all this is happening on the eve
[01:21:14] of negotiations in Abu Dhabi, tripartite with the participation
[01:21:17] of the US, Russia and Ukraine, and
[01:21:21] this, of course, essentially these consultations that
[01:21:24] are currently taking place in Brussels, their main task is
[01:21:28] to formulate a unified position, to influence Ukraine's
[01:21:31] position in these negotiations, and Europe
[01:21:33] is trying to take a seat at the negotiating table, a place for...
[01:22:07] act as the main sponsors of the Kyiv regime.
[01:22:11] Another problem is that there is never enough money, and they cannot find
[01:22:15] it. Zelensky demands more and more. The Europeans simply
[01:22:18] don't have it. These talks about another 70 billion
[01:22:22] euros, which Kyiv demands. Kyiv leads Europe into
[01:22:26] a dead end. The European Union intends to appeal to other
[01:22:29] countries outside the European Union, in particular to
[01:22:32] Great Britain, with a demand to increase their contributions
[01:22:36] into this. the matter of supplying Ukraine. And these countries
[01:22:39] also don't have money, neither Canada nor Great Britain took any
[01:22:42] obligations upon themselves, despite their intentions
[01:22:46] to rapprochement with the European Union, so therefore here on the one
[01:22:50] hand there is a financial problem, political
[01:22:53] disagreements with the United
[01:22:55] States, but there is also no unity within Europe itself, where
[01:22:59] there are also different forces, there are leaders who
[01:23:02] advocate for an early cessation of the conflict, a peaceful
[01:23:06] resolution of this conflict... but their voices are currently drowned out, unfortunately,
[01:23:09] in the stream of those statements made by
[01:23:12] representatives of the so-called big European
[01:23:16] troika, essentially advocating for the continuation of this
[01:23:19] conflict. Thank you very much, Alexander, Alexander Khabarov,
[01:23:23] on direct line, Great Britain, London.
[01:23:27] The defeat of the Republicans in the congressional elections, everyone expected
[01:23:30] it, although no one assumed that it, the failure
[01:23:34] would be so resounding. And you know, still, my
[01:23:37] tongue will not turn to repeat all
[01:23:41] these narratives about some tectonic
[01:23:45] shift, about the historic victory
[01:23:48] of the Democrats. You know, I believe it would be more appropriate and correct
[01:23:52] to say that it's
[01:23:54] not that the Democrats won, but that, let's say,
[01:23:57] President Trump defeated President
[01:24:01] Trump himself, because exactly 2 years ago, in
[01:24:05] November 2024, we remember what a
[01:24:08] triumph President Trump had in the elections, how
[01:24:11] he built his rating, and then he just
[01:24:15] squandered it, he showed that, so to
[01:24:17] speak, he believed in his hypertrophied
[01:24:21] ego, in his lucky star, and what
[01:24:25] happened in the end was that when Trump,
[01:24:28] the 2026 version, defeated Trump
[01:24:31] from 2024, these mandates,
[01:24:34] so to speak, fell out of the hands of the Republicans, seats in
[01:24:38] Congress fell out, and the Democrats just had to pick them up, which
[01:24:42] they actually did. Now
[01:24:45] let's move on. Look,
[01:24:48] if...
[01:26:21] for Republicans, this is, let's say,
[01:26:25] a resource they haven't used yet for
[01:26:27] consolidation, to say, let's not
[01:26:31] allow this failure in the presidential
[01:26:35] elections. It seems Kutuzov said, or
[01:26:38] this phrase is attributed to him, that losing a battle does not
[01:26:42] mean losing the war. So in
[01:26:45] 2028, we will
[01:26:49] finally sum up and understand
[01:26:52] if today's
[01:26:54] defeat yesterday in battle will be the
[01:26:58] first step towards the defeat of the Republicans in the war or
[01:27:01] not. Then, again, look, right before our eyes
[01:27:05] myths are being formed, these
[01:27:08] post-election myths. Well, the first myth is that
[01:27:11] now everything will radically change, a golden
[01:27:14] shower of some kind of financial support
[01:27:17] will pour into Ukraine, weapons will flow.
[01:27:21] Well, this is impossible for two reasons. Firstly,
[01:27:24] because there is a ceiling of possibilities. Well, there is no such
[01:27:28] magic wand to wave and get more
[01:27:31] patriots, and the same
[01:27:34] money. Again, Trump relieved
[01:27:38] America of the need to pay
[01:27:41] Ukraine. If now the Democrats
[01:27:44] try to play Biden 2:0, then the Republicans
[01:27:47] will say, are you forcing us again?
[01:28:20] the same Congress, the same President, that is,
[01:28:24] until January 2027, absolutely
[01:28:27] nothing has changed. That is, a new countdown will begin only
[01:28:31] next year, that is... there is still a sufficient window
[01:28:34] of opportunity. And now,
[01:28:37] look, a very important question
[01:28:40] that we ask each other and
[01:28:44] somewhere in private space, and, so
[01:28:48] to speak, in the media, what do these elections mean to
[01:28:51] us? We
[01:28:55] also do not have a unified point of view, and
[01:28:58] a fairly widespread opinion, so to speak...
[01:29:54] about the US elections, I won't talk about it, the only thing I will say is, I think,
[01:29:57] it's not about a temporary increase in diesel fuel prices, although that also
[01:30:01] mattered. I think Americans would have forgiven Trump for that, but what they
[01:30:05] definitely didn't forgive him for, is that
[01:30:08] the Jewish lobby in the United States of America lobbied its
[01:30:11] interests and essentially Donald Trump placed Israel's interests above
[01:30:14] the interests of the United States of America. I think this was his fatal mistake and
[01:30:18] led him to such a result. Now, regarding
[01:30:22] Ukraine, you showed a report where a fourteen-year-old boy was put
[01:30:26] on the "Mirotvorets" website. You know, it seems to me that we will soon
[01:30:29] be able to hold elections based on the "Mirotvorets" website, because all citizens of Ukraine, including
[01:30:33] minors, are included there. The only ones who
[01:30:37] are not there are the mafia leader Zelensky and his accomplices
[01:30:40] from the General Prosecutor's Office and the Security Service of Ukraine.
[01:30:44] But I still want to dwell on another topic that you raised
[01:30:48] here, by the way, it's not the first day it's been circulating on air,
[01:30:51] regarding the political scandal in Poland, because not all viewers really
[01:30:55] understand what the big scandal is about, what is the significance of this
[01:30:58] constitutional tribunal? In fact, this is of enormous significance. Because
[01:31:02] for me, this story is very close and understandable, because similar events
[01:31:06] occurred in Ukraine. This is about a constitutional body, the only
[01:31:10] constitutional body that can interpret constitutional norms
[01:31:13] and, most importantly, the compliance of any
[01:31:16] adopted legislative act, in this case
[01:31:19] in Poland by the Sejm or the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, with
[01:31:23] the constitution of Ukraine. Therefore, when one of the politicians
[01:31:27] in the country took a course towards usurping power, the first
[01:31:30] body that must be attacked is the constitutional court or
[01:31:34] in this case the constitutional tribunal. Why should this
[01:31:37] be done? The maximum task is to take control of this constitutional tribunal.
[01:31:41] The minimum task is to paralyze this constitutional tribunal so
[01:31:45] that everyone can express their point of view, legitimate
[01:31:49] or illegitimate. We often argue whether Zelensky is legitimate or not. Who can
[01:31:52] answer this question? The only body that can answer this question
[01:31:56] is the constitutional court. And since it is not working, then the law
[01:32:00] of force works, whoever is stronger is right. So, I
[01:32:03] remain the president of Ukraine. This is how the process
[01:32:07] of usurping power happens. Now regarding the second
[01:32:10] series of Carthage 2, I was waiting for this series, because well, everyone
[01:32:14] understood that sooner or later it would happen. So,
[01:32:18] all of Zelensky's usurpation of power rests on three
[01:32:21] pillars: first, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, second, the security
[01:32:25] bloc in the form of the General Prosecutor's Office and the Security
[01:32:28] Service of Ukraine. In the first Carthage, in the first series, we saw an attack
[01:32:32] on the General Prosecutor's Office. The General Prosecutor fled the country.
[01:32:36] This is the second series regarding the Security Service
[01:32:39] of Ukraine. As it turns out, this is not some kind of corruption
[01:32:42] scandal. It cannot be presented
[01:32:45] as a corruption scandal. In reality, the
[01:32:48] fact was revealed that Ukraine
[01:32:52] is ruled by a mafia, specifically a mafia.
[01:32:55] This is when, in fact, law enforcement agencies and
[01:32:58] criminal elements have merged, and it's unclear where the SBU
[01:33:29] and another important point that few people pay attention to is that they have become so brazen that they started printing, printing in an underground print shop euros
[01:33:32] with a denomination of 200 euros, you understand? That is, people seriously
[01:33:36] discuss banknotes that they print for their
[01:33:39] compliance, no, no, there you need to finalize it, yes, we will now use paints,
[01:33:42] I have selected 14 shades of colors. We will solve everything now, everything
[01:33:46] will be tip-top, everything will be, do you even understand what we are talking about, I'm just
[01:33:49] surprised when Europeans, who support this
[01:33:53] mafia with their taxes, headed by Zelensky, do they even
[01:33:56] understand where all this will lead them? They openly
[01:34:00] print their money, their denominations, these, and what do you think, where will this money
[01:34:04] go? It will not remain in Ukraine, they will
[01:34:07] send it there to Europe, just as they were not bothered by the fact that
[01:34:11] call centers, which this mafia was covering, were hitting just...
[01:34:15] their taxpayers, their taxpayers in the United States
[01:34:18] of America, in Europe, is that not enough for you? Well, wait, you will get
[01:34:22] more frank sensations from Ukraine addressed
[01:34:25] to you. We'll be back in
[01:34:27] a minute.
[01:39:49] inflicted a crushing defeat on Trump that will go down in history. The White
[01:39:53] House is losing control of both houses of Congress. Trump himself
[01:39:56] admitted he was a little surprised by the results, but
[01:39:59] attributed the reason for the defeat to the absence of his personal
[01:40:02] name on the ballot, stating that he did not consider himself
[01:40:05] a loser given that people did not vote
[01:40:08] for him personally. At the same time, the US President still admitted that the
[01:40:12] war in Iran and rising prices at American gas stations influenced
[01:40:15] Americans' choice. Opponent of the Middle East
[01:40:19] adventure, American Vice President JD
[01:40:22] Vance named precisely the war with Iran as the main reason
[01:40:26] for the Republicans' defeat, stating that people want
[01:40:29] a return to the promised America First principle
[01:40:32] and a review - this is key - of the special and
[01:40:36] rather strange relations between the US and
[01:40:39] Israel. CBS correspondent, citing
[01:40:42] sources, claims that Hexet, the Pentagon chief,
[01:40:46] could now be made a scapegoat. He waged
[01:40:49] the war of American
[01:40:51] generals.
[01:40:57] You know, I'll most likely find common ground with the Democrats, unless
[01:41:01] they decide to act destructively. In any case, I
[01:41:04] have veto power if I don't like what they
[01:41:07] do.
[01:41:12] Behind the scenes, a campaign is unfolding, whose goal is to make Defense Secretary
[01:41:16] Pete Hexet a scapegoat. All the blame for
[01:41:18] the Republicans' defeat is placed on the unpopularity of the war in
[01:41:22] Iran. It is noteworthy that Vice President JD Vance
[01:41:25] links the Republicans' crushing failure to
[01:41:34] the reason we lost was
[01:41:35] the war. Next, the Vice President lists the top four
[01:41:39] voter demands that explain the results: end
[01:41:42] the war, focus on prices and inflation, put America first
[01:41:46] and change relations with Israel. What
[01:41:50] is happening now, and what is truly important, is how before our very
[01:41:53] eyes the political map of the Senate is being redrawn. Democrats
[01:42:14] celebrate a confident victory in the midterm elections after gaining control of
[01:42:18] both houses of Congress. According to NBC News forecasts, in the House
[01:42:21] of Representatives, Democrats will get about 258 seats.
[01:42:25] This even exceeds the best.
[01:43:57] Could I cooperate with them on the issue of open borders? I don't
[01:44:01] think so. As for other topics, for example, on the issue of men's participation
[01:44:05] in women's sports competitions, no, probably
[01:44:07] not. I believe that men should not...
[01:45:53] So yes, the regime change happened 8 months after the start of the war in Iran, only it happened not in Iran, but
[01:45:57] here with
[01:45:58] us.
[01:46:01] Well, and right now we are moving to Israel.
[01:46:05] On direct line from Tel Aviv, our Middle East bureau chief,
[01:46:08] Sergey Pashkov. Sergey, hello, but you just heard
[01:46:12] American Vice President JD Vance blamed the defeat
[01:46:15] of the entire Republican Party on the US war
[01:46:19] with Iran. How was this statement
[01:46:23] received in Israel, given that JD Vance also meant
[01:46:27] Netanyahu's fault? How can everything
[01:46:30] that is happening now affect, we
[01:46:32] delicately formulate, the very
[01:46:35] unusual relationship between Israel and Washington. You have the floor.
[01:46:42] Hello Olga, indeed, what is happening in relations
[01:46:46] between Israel and the United States of America
[01:46:49] over the last week causes surprise
[01:46:52] and misunderstanding among commentators and causes
[01:46:56] surprise and misunderstanding in Israel. In Israel
[01:46:59] they believed, they were practically convinced, that America is
[01:47:02] an unconditional strategic ally, that on the eve
[01:47:05] of the voting in Israel, when they elected the Knesset, Netanyahu
[01:47:09] spoke with...
[01:47:13] over the phone, analysts claimed that the nuances of strikes on the
[01:47:16] Islamic Republic of Iran were discussed, although some
[01:47:19] informed sources reported that the conversation was
[01:47:22] quite tense. Now
[01:47:25] the elections have taken place, all
[01:47:28] deadlines already, it would seem, have passed, the stated and
[01:47:31] announced by Benjamin Netanyahu, the practically
[01:47:35] inevitable war with Iran, is currently being postponed. Benjamin
[01:47:38] Netanyahu himself remains silent and does not appear at public
[01:47:42] events. Only one video posted by him after the elections flashed across the network,
[01:47:46] where he talks about the need to create a government
[01:47:50] of national unity, about the fact that Arab parties cannot be included
[01:47:53] in the coalition, which, by the way, he has always said,
[01:47:56] and it's unclear when this video was recorded. Netanyahu remains
[01:48:00] silent, and there is a reason why, yes, of course,
[01:48:03] Vice President "Jay Vance's" statement that
[01:48:07] the reason for the Republicans' defeat in the midterm elections was
[01:48:11] the war in Iran, and no one doubts that
[01:48:14] the main driving force of this war, the main initiator
[01:48:18] of the start of this forty-day war, which began in
[01:48:21] February, and led to no results other than
[01:48:25] the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, this initiator was
[01:48:28] Benjamin Netanyahu, and of course in Washington
[01:48:31] they look at him askance because of this. This war, which was easy to
[01:48:35] start, but from which it turned out to be impossible to get out, and
[01:48:38] Vance, by the way, already during the war articulated this
[01:48:42] point of view and even for some time was part of the US diplomatic
[01:48:46] efforts until Trump pulled him aside, meaning
[01:48:50] Vance signifies a certain change of course regarding
[01:48:53] Iran. This is first of all. Secondly, a black mark was sent
[01:48:57] to Benjamin Netanyahu by Donald Trump himself, and this happened
[01:49:01] literally 2 days ago, when he suddenly announced on his social networks
[01:49:04] that the story with
[01:49:08] the annual supply of 3 billion dollars to Israel, which
[01:49:11] Israeli military personnel used to buy equipment and weapons from
[01:49:15] the United States of America, ends this January.
[01:49:19] And Barack Obama had already signed
[01:49:22] a presidential decree for 10 years of such
[01:49:26] sponsoring, there are still 2 years ahead. It turned out
[01:49:29] that Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu
[01:49:33] discussed this even before the elections, and Benjamin Netanyahu concealed from
[01:49:36] his voters that Israel is now
[01:49:39] alone regarding weapons. He
[01:49:43] spoke, hinted, said that Israel would turn into Sparta, one must
[01:49:47] rely on one's own efforts, but no one thought that what
[01:49:50] was signed by Trump - excuse me, President Obama,
[01:49:54] whom Israel did not like, would be canceled
[01:49:57] by Donald Trump, whom they here considered almost
[01:50:00] a saint, and neither the Israeli Ministry of Defense, nor
[01:50:04] the IDF, nor the Ministry of Finance have
[01:50:07] an additional eight billion dollars for the next 2 years,
[01:50:11] they simply were not aware that they would be without this money. Netanyahu's supporters
[01:50:15] say that nothing terrible will happen, Israel will still
[01:50:18] survive, that this is only 3% of the defense budget, yes. presidential and
[01:51:35] one must be very careful about what this American
[01:51:39] politician does and says today after such a
[01:51:42] defeat of the Republicans in the midterm
[01:51:45] elections. Thank you very much, Sergey! Sergey Pashkov,
[01:51:49] head of our Middle East bureau on direct line. Tel
[01:51:52] Aviv, Israel.
[01:51:55] You know, when many are optimistic, I am
[01:51:59] pessimistic, but there is an upside to this.
[01:52:02] Accordingly, when many are pessimistic, I can
[01:52:06] be optimistic. I mean that in the results
[01:52:09] of the elections to the American parliament, I do not see a great
[01:52:12] drama from the point of view of Russian interests, and perhaps, strangely
[01:52:16] enough, there are certain advantages
[01:52:19] to this. What do I mean? Well, in fact,
[01:52:23] first, this is what many American experts talk
[01:52:27] about, that, this story,
[01:52:30] as political scientists call it, divided government, this is
[01:52:34] not the first case, of course, in the history of the United States, often
[01:52:37] leads to the fact that
[01:52:40] the elected president, having suffered a defeat in the midterm
[01:52:44] elections, begins to pay less attention
[01:52:47] to domestic politics and more attention to foreign policy,
[01:52:50] because on the domestic front, they will certainly throw a wrench in his
[01:52:54] plans. In this regard, there is no special reason for Trump
[01:52:58] to suffer with such a parliament, and in foreign policy,
[01:53:02] on the contrary, we have a relatively good relationship with Trump.
[01:53:05] not a bad situation, you know
[01:53:08] that I never had any illusions that the Americans would abandon
[01:53:11] Ukraine, but in this regard there is no need to panic now
[01:53:15] that the newly elected Democrats will start some kind of
[01:53:18] frantic search for options in order
[01:53:21] to strengthen... support for Ukraine, which was also mentioned today,
[01:53:25] and I agree with that, Ukraine was not abandoned by the United States, in
[01:53:29] this regard, they don't have the ability to significantly increase
[01:53:33] this support, from the point of view of our relations with Trump,
[01:53:36] on the contrary, we helped Trump
[01:53:39] in terms of the diesel deal, I,
[01:53:42] by the way, for the viewers of the 60 Minutes program, immediately said that
[01:53:45] this deal had no industry meaning, now when
[01:53:49] you read that those tankers with
[01:53:52] diesel might not reach America, they turned around,
[01:53:55] possibly going to Brazil, for us there is absolutely nothing terrible in this, because
[01:53:59] in fact, it was not assumed that our diesel would come
[01:54:03] to the United States in gigantic volumes, I
[01:54:07] already said that the United States itself now exports more than 5
[01:54:10] million tons of diesel per month, more than 5 million tons of diesel per
[01:54:14] month, in this regard, these volumes, 300,000 for October,
[01:54:17] 500,000 for November, although Russia said it could export more, they had
[01:54:21] no industry meaning for the United States...
[01:54:24] Trump asked us, for us it had
[01:54:28] no risks, we gave him a political pass, he
[01:54:32] hit the post, but that's his problem. From the point
[01:54:35] of view of Ukrainian regulation, we
[01:54:37] helped Trump, well, in his understanding, we helped Trump, accordingly, in this
[01:54:41] regard, we expect that he will appreciate it, we
[01:54:45] have grounds for this, and diesel, Russian diesel, if we sell it to
[01:54:49] Brazil, in fact, we will earn even more. By the way,
[01:54:53] today the Ministry of Finance published data on oil and gas revenues for October,
[01:54:56] they are almost a trillion, this is the best monthly result in twenty
[01:55:00] six years, in this regard, we do not stop
[01:55:03] selling crude oil. We have started diesel supplies, by the way, the sanctions
[01:55:07] that Trump suspended, not canceled, but
[01:55:10] suspended, they are still suspended, that is, we can
[01:55:13] sell diesel in other countries, and
[01:55:17] the United States recognizes this, American banks
[01:55:20] make transactions, that is, in this regard,
[01:55:22] a certain, let's say, ease
[01:55:25] of supply, it exists, and let's
[01:55:28] use it, we'll be back in
[01:55:30] a minute.
[01:56:05] a wonderful unspoiled youth, someday you will become old and
[01:56:08] ugly, if my portrait grew old, there was
[01:56:12] something terribly fascinating in the ability to exert one's influence, and they
[01:56:15] say terrible things about you, the portrait was to blame
[01:56:18] for everything, only by the rings on his hands, the servants recognized
[01:56:21] him, if only they had VTB, Lord Henry - this is the road
[01:56:25] to hell, in life you need another consultant at VTB, our call center
