[00:00:02] This is all that's left of our position, look what's
[00:00:05] inside: one FPV drone exploded there, but another one right
[00:00:08] here, right here was our
[00:00:10] entrance.
[00:00:13] By the way, the person didn't specify which particular model of our
[00:00:16] drone they were talking about, but one can assume that for example, the ghoul
[00:00:19] 18's crew tried, because the latter easily carries both a
[00:00:23] heavy anti-tank mine and a thermobaric munition,
[00:00:27] and therefore can demolish entire buildings, not to mention... instantly
[00:00:30] burning out rat holes, although at Ukrainian military training centers
[00:00:34] this is usually not shown, so as not to scare them off prematurely, and
[00:00:38] even less do they inform foreign cannon
[00:00:41] fodder, i.e. mercenaries, who, as it turned out,
[00:00:44] have actively started recruiting among African illegal
[00:00:47] migrants. Elizaveta Khramtsova is ready to provide evidence
[00:00:51] and explain why they are being lured to certain death. Elizaveta, hello, they promise
[00:00:54] a ticket to Europe on, but in fact they are sent to
[00:00:58] slaughter. Alexey, hello, these methods are indeed well
[00:01:02] known,
[00:01:04] be it Nazis or terrorists, the scum doesn't care who will be
[00:01:08] in their ranks, the main thing is to fight against Russians, and
[00:01:12] criminal gangs, in return for Kiev providing drones and
[00:01:16] drone instructors, are paying Ukraine with cannon
[00:01:19] fodder, i.e. mercenaries. The scheme,
[00:01:22] long practiced in the Middle East and Latin American countries,
[00:01:25] is now being implemented in Libya and other countries on the continent. People
[00:01:29] are offered.
[00:01:38] several camps where mercenaries are trained,
[00:01:40] primarily
[00:01:44] for them to be able to use various types
[00:01:48] of drones, including attack and reconnaissance drones. De facto,
[00:01:51] combat groups are formed on an ethnic basis,
[00:01:54] which then undergo further training not only within
[00:01:58] the Ukrainian context, but also...
[00:02:00] used for recruitment and deployment, for example, in the Sahara-
[00:02:04] Sahel zone.
[00:02:07] Sahel countries, by the way, have even broken off relations with
[00:02:10] Kiev because Ukrainian instructors are helping Islamic
[00:02:14] terrorist groups in Mali.
[00:02:17] Mali and Niger recalled their ambassadors from Kiev, and Burkina Faso
[00:02:21] and Senegal condemned the participation of the scum in the hybrid
[00:02:24] war. In West Africa, the influence of the former
[00:02:27] metropolitan power, France, has noticeably weakened, and probably by supporting
[00:02:30] Islamists, Ukrainians are helping Parisian
[00:02:32] sponsors.
[00:02:35] a number of officers of the Ukrainian army, especially senior ones from
[00:02:38] intelligence services, allegedly convert to Islam,
[00:02:41] become members of Islamic groups, and in this way
[00:02:45] establish contact between these terrorist, radical
[00:02:48] Islamist groups, both in Africa, and by the way, already in
[00:02:52] Asian countries, contacts and interaction are being established,
[00:02:55] and in this way Ukraine penetrates various
[00:02:58] regions, inciting local terrorists to
[00:03:02] various actions both against governments and against
[00:03:04] the representation of Russian organizations.
[00:03:08] Earlier this month, the head of the so-called office of the President
[00:03:12] of Ukraine remembered Ukrainians in Africa. Terrorist-extremist
[00:03:16] Budanov praised his former colleagues for their presence
[00:03:19] all over the world. This photo was taken in eastern Congo, where
[00:03:22] the terrorist group M-23 operates. Another
[00:03:25] supporter of the idea of maintaining close
[00:03:29] contacts with gangs from Africa is the former Minister of Defense of Ukraine
[00:03:32] Fyodorov. He wanted to have up to
[00:03:35] 50% of attack aircraft from
[00:03:38] mercenaries from other countries, namely Latin America and
[00:03:42] Africa. Most often, by the way, they are used as cannon fodder
[00:03:45] directly during some assaults,
[00:03:49] so they either flee or
[00:03:51] die.
[00:03:54] Zelensky is not too lazy to personally participate in political sabotage. Last year
[00:03:58] he tried to break up Ghana. The man in
[00:04:00] green
[00:04:04] stated that the President of Ghana agreed to purchase Ukrainian
[00:04:08] equipment and drones, and also that the state border
[00:04:12] would be guarded by Ukrainians.
[00:04:15] As a result, the Ghanaian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was forced to issue clarifications. The President
[00:04:19] spoke with Zelensky, but he essentially lied, no agreement was
[00:04:22] concluded. The only purpose of this statement was to create a diplomatic
[00:04:26] rift and sow distrust between Ghana and Burkina Faso.
[00:04:30] This shows how deeply Ukraine is trying to interfere not only in military actions on
[00:04:33] the battlefield, but also in the politics of countries on the other side of
[00:04:36] the world.
[00:04:39] And Ukrainian instructors busy with Africans told CNN:
[00:04:42] "We are learning to fight in hot
[00:04:45] conditions, when equipment behaves differently than in our
[00:04:48] climatic zone. They should, however, look at
[00:04:51] another experience, a political one. Libya, for example, after becoming
[00:04:55] undesirable to NATO countries, virtually ceased to exist as
[00:04:58] a state.
[00:05:05] Russia cannot be excluded from global economic systems, as it
[00:05:09] remains a reliable supplier of energy resources and... consequently
[00:05:13] a key guarantor of energy security. Such statements were made today
[00:05:16] in Houston, Texas, before the G20 ministerial
[00:05:19] meeting, to which our delegation is officially invited. On why a whole range
[00:05:23] of problems cannot be solved without Moscow's participation, and who still
[00:05:26] tries to deny this, in the report of our American sub-correspondent Dmitry
[00:05:30] Melnikov. Not long ago, Houston, Texas,
[00:05:34] was called the energy capital of the USA and even the whole world, but today
[00:05:37] this gigantic oil refining machine...
[00:05:41] In a few days, diesel prices in
[00:06:01] the US reached an all-time high, even in oil-rich
[00:06:05] Texas, today it's already 6 and a half dollars per gallon, an increase of more than
[00:06:08] ... 70% in a year. For the third time
[00:06:12] in recent days, the US President blames Kiev
[00:06:16] for this global energy crisis.
[00:06:20] The rise in global diesel prices is mainly caused by
[00:06:23] the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and not the situation around Iran. And so,
[00:06:27] against the backdrop of this chaos, Houston is hosting the G20 ministerial meeting,
[00:06:30] one of the slogans of which is
[00:06:33] energy abundance. Russia in the US is represented by delegations
[00:06:37] from three ministries at once - the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and
[00:06:40] the Ministry of Natural Resources. We expect a positive
[00:06:43] result.
[00:06:46] Yes. In early September, for the first time since 2022, Finance Minister
[00:06:49] Anton Siluanov participated in the summit of financial heads. Now Texas is hosting
[00:06:53] the Russian delegation on the energy
[00:06:57] track. It turned out that without Russian
[00:07:00] diesel, the American and global economies would not go
[00:07:04] far.
[00:07:06] More and more fuel is coming from the Middle East, while Russian
[00:07:10] decreased. Previously, Russia was
[00:07:13] a major diesel exporter, but now it exports almost
[00:07:16] nothing.
[00:07:20] We will tell you about specific projects that we want to launch, all of them
[00:07:24] will be beneficial for the US, and also for our allies around
[00:07:27] the world. In times of crisis, the White House is hastily canceling
[00:07:31] green regulations for oil product manufacturers and even
[00:07:34] lowering fuel quality requirements. Against this background, the ideas
[00:07:38] that Russia has consistently promoted for years.
[00:08:12] so that all countries develop
[00:08:15] effectively. At the same time, the paradox of American policy
[00:08:19] towards Russia these days seems to have reached its
[00:08:22] culmination. While here in Houston, the US is discussing with Moscow
[00:08:26] how to secure the global energy market, in Washington they have returned
[00:08:29] to the topic of hellish sanctions, which provide for
[00:08:33] 100% duties against buyers of Russian oil and
[00:08:36] gas. The day before, the House Rules Committee
[00:08:40] approved the procedure for voting on a bill on
[00:08:43] new sanctions against Russia and Iran. However, it is already obvious
[00:08:47] to everyone in Washington that imposing sanctions against Russia
[00:08:51] in the current situation means, in a direct sense, extinguishing
[00:08:54] a fire in global markets with such scarce gasoline.
[00:08:58] Dmitry Melnikov, Pavel Kostrikov and Evgenia Bogomolova, Vest from
[00:09:02] Houston, Texas.
[00:09:05] Estimates most often concern the speed, range and mass
[00:09:09] of the warhead, but few people pay attention to the whole tech.
[00:09:45] New vehicles are becoming faster, changing
[00:09:48] their altitude and flight profile, getting more complex guidance
[00:09:52] systems.
[00:09:55] Well, indeed, in the case of the fourth and even more so
[00:09:58] the fifth Geranium, the line is already extremely thin, so
[00:10:02] some, like the Financial Times columnist, started
[00:10:05] measuring it economically, as if an expensive product should
[00:10:09] be classified as a missile, and a cheap and mass-produced one as a drone. Although
[00:10:13] it's not difficult to object here by using the example of Banderol, because despite their very
[00:10:16] moderate cost, they represent precisely missile
[00:10:20] weapons, and in general, whatever the classification, the main thing is,
[00:10:23] of course, effective.
[00:10:26] which over the past few days has been duly appreciated, including by residents of western
[00:10:29] regions of Ukraine on the border with Poland. What was hit
[00:10:33] and why the local infrastructure has long been asking for high-precision
[00:10:37] strikes, Yevgeny Tishkovets will tell. Yevgeny, good evening,
[00:10:40] now this direction of enemy logistics will face
[00:10:43] a serious test of strength. Good evening, that's
[00:10:47] right, Alexey, and we, as usual, hit the enemy where it hurts
[00:10:51] most. The border of Poland and Ukraine.
[00:10:55] But Russia holds the keys to it. Our military is systematically putting
[00:10:59] the enemy in a state of forced isolation. Video from
[00:11:02] the camera of a Russian attack drone was transmitted from Volyn
[00:11:06] region, which in itself is impressive. The UAV approaches
[00:11:09] the target, the border railway station Yag-1. The moment
[00:11:13] of the strike, for obvious reasons, was not included in the video. So
[00:11:17] the extent of the damage is still unclear, the enemy also does not disclose the consequences
[00:11:21] of the attack. Apparently, the staff was instructed after the previous
[00:11:24] attack on the checkpoint, which
[00:11:27] happened a couple of days ago. Then they showed us everything
[00:11:30] in detail: burning trucks, a destroyed
[00:11:34] gas station. It seems that our military has been tasked with
[00:11:36] closing
[00:11:39] the border crossing. They started, it was clear, systematic
[00:11:42] strikes on border
[00:11:45] facilities, on gas stations, on border crossings. Well, this is like
[00:11:49] a logical continuation of the story about
[00:11:52] depriving those who stand behind
[00:11:55] Ukraine, behind the Kiev regime, of the opportunity to supply weapons, and probably
[00:11:59] to carry out exports as well.
[00:12:02] Why is Yagodyn suffering specifically? Why all of a sudden
[00:12:06] such an honor for an ordinary border checkpoint? The answer, in fact,
[00:12:09] lies on the surface. As is known, a significant part of the weapons and
[00:12:13] ammunition for the militants comes from Europe, mainly through
[00:12:17] Poland. There are two main logistical hubs - Rzeszow and
[00:12:20] Lublin. The first sends cargo to Ukraine through the Lviv region, and...
[00:12:25] the second precisely through Yagodyn Dorohusk. But here we note
[00:12:28] two important circumstances: first, Polish sources report
[00:12:32] that due to some repair work in Rzeszow, the volume of supplies from
[00:12:36] this city has decreased, and Lublin has taken on the main
[00:12:40] load. Which, by the way, local residents are not very happy
[00:12:43] about, but who is asking them, we got distracted.
[00:12:46] The second factor determining the key role of the checkpoint is the campaign to
[00:12:50] cut off Ukraine from the sea, which our military successfully
[00:12:53] carried out in the summer. Under the blockade of Odessa, the enemy
[00:12:57] was forced to reroute cargo flows to the same Lublin
[00:13:01] direction, as evidenced by huge traffic jams of
[00:13:04] thousands of trucks that were observed at the border in recent
[00:13:07] weeks. As for the Yagodyn
[00:13:11] border crossing near Lublin. Indeed,
[00:13:14] the following situation is happening there: an airplane
[00:13:17] arrives there, or a train arrives, there
[00:13:21] is transshipment, then trucks, and a truck.
[00:13:55] is that such attacks demand extremely high quality of
[00:13:58] intelligence data and accuracy of engagement means. The enemy is
[00:14:01] cunning. When military cargo arrives in Ukraine from Poland
[00:14:05] or any other country, the scum transport it to the front not
[00:14:09] in columns, but hide it in ordinary civilian trucks, reload it under
[00:14:12] the cover of night as quickly as possible. Sometimes they even add
[00:14:16] wagons with equipment and ammunition to passenger
[00:14:19] trains, using civilians as shields. In such a
[00:14:22] case, we have to hit... This
[00:14:25] is the only way to stop a pseudo-civilian train without
[00:14:29] risking human lives. It turns out that to inflict damage
[00:14:33] on the enemy, but not harm civilians, it is necessary to detect
[00:14:36] the supply as quickly as possible, predict transshipment points,
[00:14:40] and immediately strike. Without good communication, new intelligence
[00:14:44] capabilities, and reactive drones, implementing this would have been extremely
[00:14:47] difficult. The work of intelligence is no less important
[00:14:51] than the work of drone operators or missile operators. We have
[00:14:55] resources for intelligence, we have resources for control, plus some
[00:14:58] of our drones use neural capture, meaning, roughly
[00:15:02] speaking, when it sees a train, it identifies it by
[00:15:06] the bank, well, the target bank, that yes, this is a locomotive, meaning it's a priority
[00:15:09] target.
[00:15:12] It is quite obvious that the enemy will react to Russia's new tactic
[00:15:15] and will distribute military cargo through other
[00:15:19] checkpoints, but we are acting proactively and already hitting key
[00:15:22] border crossings, particularly in Odessa.
[00:15:48] to God. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are rebranding,
[00:15:51] a so-called Christian Corps should replace the Nazi
[00:15:55] moniker. What circumstances are forcing Kiev
[00:15:59] to change
[00:15:59] strategy?
[00:16:24] When life throws surprises, they are easy to
[00:16:28] handle if you use the right solutions.

[00:16:35] challenges, construction, and life. Penoplex is
[00:16:38] effective thermal insulation for a country house or

[00:19:51] Several dozen people
[00:20:01] huddled under a huge black flag in some
[00:20:04] hangar, the walls of which... were also completely draped
[00:20:07] with dark fabric, as if a funeral event or
[00:20:11] a gloomy neo-pagan ritual was being held there. But the
[00:20:14] thematic inscription "Christian
[00:20:18] Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine" - this, as claimed, is a completely new Ukrainian
[00:20:21] unit, and the idea to create it supposedly came
[00:20:25] directly from the terrorist Budanov, although the latter, as we know, is very
[00:20:29] far from canonical religious beliefs, that is,
[00:20:32] the format itself immediately raises many questions, and
[00:20:36] the symbolism turned out to be extremely peculiar, more in the spirit
[00:20:40] of some secret mystical order, rather than
[00:20:43] those who are ready to sincerely follow Christ.
[00:20:46] Well, by the way, his image, be it a banner with
[00:20:50] the Savior or even just a couple of icons, is basically not
[00:20:53] visible here, so I want to understand why on earth these people
[00:20:57] suddenly decided to portray themselves as believers, and most importantly, what they
[00:21:01] are really trying to achieve. Anna
[00:21:04] Khrustaleva tried to find probable answers. Anna, good evening, but
[00:21:07] apparently, this is a convenient brand for solving completely
[00:21:11] non-spiritual tasks. Alexey, good evening, yes, rather
[00:21:13] material ones. They change the record, but
[00:21:17] the motive remains the same. Against the backdrop of total failures on
[00:21:21] the battlefield, Ukraine is hastily promoting a new concept
[00:21:25] for its armed forces. The thugs with Nazi
[00:21:28] tattoos are being replaced by those who position themselves as
[00:21:31] champions of God. Jesus Christ, bless our lives,
[00:21:35] protect us from enemy drones. They have already changed their image, even learned
[00:21:38] prayers in their own way. Now, on the front line, they supposedly preach
[00:21:42] humanism, helping wounded civilians on camera, and they
[00:21:45] zealously cross themselves on cue "Motor". Then the videos
[00:21:48] spread across... Forgive my sinful
[00:21:51] soul, don't let me die. These are
[00:21:55] footage of the so-called work of the Brotherhood battalion, which is listed as a terrorist
[00:21:58] organization in Russia. The unit, created at one time
[00:22:02] by the infamous nationalist Dmitry Korchynsky, has now become the
[00:22:06] main core of the recently formed Christian
[00:22:09] Corps. The official presentation of this structure took place in
[00:22:12] the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. And it was timed, no more no less, to
[00:22:16] the Day of the Baptism of Rus'. Greetings to the ceremony participants were sent.
[00:22:50] corps is not Orthodox, which would be logical for Ukraine, but
[00:22:53] specifically Christian. The general wording probably aims to
[00:22:57] unite more so-called flocks, and these are not only parishioners
[00:23:01] of traditional religious movements, but also sectarians. At
[00:23:04] the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a strategic task was announced,
[00:23:07] and that is special
[00:23:10] information operations on the territory of the Russian
[00:23:13] Federation. Since 2022, several large Protestant,
[00:23:16] pro-Ukrainian, pro-American sects
[00:23:20] that were engaged in financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been
[00:23:24] closed. This Christian Corps believes that it is possible
[00:23:27] through its brethren, no longer
