[00:00:30] and ore, minerals, because they [00:00:33] are under the protection [00:00:36] of UNESCO, WWF, [00:00:39] Greenpeace, allegedly, protecting [00:00:43] the landscape, small peoples, the scenery, historical memory, and so [00:00:47] on and so forth. In fact, without [00:00:50] bombs, without missiles, without shells, without any [00:00:54] war, they simply pushed us out of those [00:00:58] territories that... [00:01:33] there would be no Ukrainian state, [00:01:36] if not for the support of the US, there certainly would be no Ukrainian military [00:01:40] actions, not that the Ukrainians themselves wanted this, they are held [00:01:43] hostage by an unelected president, who liquidated civil [00:01:46] liberties in the country, banned the largest Christian branch of [00:01:50] the church, imprisons people for criticism against him, he is a lunatic and [00:01:53] a tyrant, why does he continue, the only [00:01:57] reason he is still fighting is the Trump administration. Through [00:02:00] intelligence agencies, they transfer intelligence data to Ukrainians for purposes, [00:02:03] when they hit targets in Russia, where do they get [00:02:06] intelligence information, from their own intelligence, [00:02:09] no, from ours, and [00:02:12] can we not assume that in guiding these missiles at [00:02:16] our facilities, at power plants, at civilians, Mr. [00:02:20] Volzh participates, using [00:02:23] technologies that he took from our country, and how many [00:02:27] times have we talked about destructive... [00:02:32] Interfax's strategic partner is the American [00:02:35] media holding, operator of the business [00:02:38] data base Dun & Bradstreet. They [00:02:42] have a joint subsidiary, [00:02:45] Interfax Dun & Bradstreet. Now pay attention, [00:02:49] the company Dun & Bradstreet, which we already [00:02:53] mentioned as Interfax's partner, plays [00:02:56] a key role in maintaining [00:03:00] sanctions regimes against Russia. It has direct [00:03:03] ties with the company Palantir. This is [00:03:07] the largest developer of data analysis [00:03:10] software, including for American military [00:03:14] structures and special services. On October 14-15, [00:03:17] the Spark Interfax team participated in the global forum [00:03:21] in London on sanctions. It was an amazing event, [00:03:25] a great opportunity for meaningful communication with [00:03:28] colleagues from all over the world. On behalf of Spark Interfax, we express [00:03:32] our enormous gratitude to the forum organizers. It was a pleasure [00:03:35] to participate in such a significant event. We hope [00:03:38] to see everyone next year. By the way, [00:03:42] soon Interfax's publication about its participation [00:03:45] in the forum on sanctions against Russia in London [00:03:48] was deleted by them. But, [00:03:52] as they say, the Internet remembers everything. And so, [00:03:55] on September 28, 2026, [00:03:59] a decree was issued by the president [00:04:01] under number 686 on [00:04:05] the approval of the list of information in the fuel [00:04:09] and energy complex, access to which is restricted [00:04:12] in the order of its use. Due to [00:04:15] the need to take measures in [00:04:18] response to unfriendly actions by [00:04:21] the US and the states and international organizations [00:04:24] that joined them. We understand why such a decree was issued, [00:04:28] because as... [00:05:00] according to the contract, which was concluded until [00:05:04] 2027, today in [00:05:07] our program we talked, as it were, about the fifth [00:05:11] column. Although we named our show [00:05:14] column number five. Why? I will explain. The [00:05:18] thing is, the fifth column are, as it were, enemies inside [00:05:22] the country, who do everything to destroy it, to [00:05:26] open the gates from the inside for the enemy. But [00:05:29] if we delve into the word column, as a military official [00:05:33] term, then in principle, it [00:05:36] means a column of prisoners of war. And if we [00:05:40] truly, truly... [00:06:13] the phrase fifth column [00:06:16] will acquire the military meaning of these [00:06:19] words, and in order not to confuse these concepts, we [00:06:23] named our show not fifth column, but [00:06:26] column number five, the real fifth [00:06:30] column in the military sense is [00:06:32] this. [00:07:12] thrown at the foot of the Mausoleum, [00:07:16] and a few years later a Russian man [00:07:19] flew into Space. [00:07:34] Therefore, I propose, without breaking [00:07:38] our tradition, [00:07:41] while the special military operation [00:07:45] is ongoing, to raise a glass with you, [00:07:47] my dear viewers, for [00:07:51] victory, for our victory, [00:12:56] Four settlements were liberated by Russian military in the special [00:12:59] operation zone in Kharkiv region, encircled, Reznikovo and Kupino taken [00:13:02] under control, advances in DNR, there central forces liberated [00:13:06] Novotroyitske and Petrovske, also the clearing of western [00:13:10] districts of Dobropillya and the territory of the eponymous mine continues. Within [00:13:13] 24 hours, 137 buildings were liberated, including three [00:13:17] industrial facilities. [00:13:19] In Kyiv, emergency power outages are the result of our [00:13:23] military's work on energy facilities in the Ukrainian capital and region. [00:13:26] In addition, warehouses and industrial enterprises were hit, causing a large [00:13:30] fire. Thick smoke is visible for several kilometers. In Odesa [00:13:34] region, in addition to port infrastructure and ships, the Tent [00:13:37] data center was attacked. This was reported by the Russian [00:13:40] Ministry of Defense. The AFU used it for processing, transmitting, and [00:13:44] storing information. In Kharkiv region, after [00:13:47] an air strike, an ammunition depot detonated for more than 3 [00:13:50] hours. In addition, strikes were recorded in... The head of the Kyiv regime is incapable of [00:14:01] thoughtful actions, said Vladimir Putin's press secretary, [00:14:04] Dmitry Peskov. He added that Zelensky could already [00:14:08] now demonstrate a propensity for peace negotiations, but instead [00:14:11] he continues to take aggressive actions against [00:14:15] Russia. Peskov stressed that such a policy is mistaken and that [00:14:18] Ukraine has to pay dearly for it. Earlier, American [00:14:22] President Donald Trump announced that [00:14:26] Ukraine needs a new leader. Anna [00:14:29] Voronina will continue the topic. [00:14:36] Yesterday hysteria, today panic, in Kyiv, they clearly did [00:14:39] not expect such a statement from Donald [00:14:42] Trump. [00:14:47] I believe they should find a new leader who can make [00:14:50] a deal, because he could have settled the conflict many times, but for some [00:14:54] reason he didn't. You lost 30% of the country, over a [00:14:57] million people have died, and I think it's time for Ukraine [00:15:01] to find a new president. Donald Trump is not [00:15:04] alone in his judgment, the same opinion was expressed by billionaire Elon Musk, whose [00:15:07] Starlink satellites are used by the AFU, and General Michael [00:15:11] Flynn, who responded to criticism of the diesel deal from [00:15:14] a former colleague. You still don't understand, Mike, and you never [00:15:18] will. Donald Trump is focused on [00:15:21] ending a war that should never have [00:15:24] started. While you, and the same failed [00:15:27] neoconservatives, continue to demand that America [00:15:31] finance it forever. Zelensky must [00:15:34] go so that peace can truly be discussed. On [00:15:38] Capitol Hill, they even called those who oppose Trump's [00:15:41] peace initiatives hypocrites. There have been no [00:15:44] presidential elections in Ukraine since 2019, [00:15:47] there under the previous [00:15:50] administration. The war must end, and Zelensky must [00:15:54] listen to what the US President says. The United States' [00:15:57] proposal will benefit everyone, but we cannot allow this war to [00:16:01] continue. Some European politicians, who have already felt the [00:16:04] energy crisis and the consequences of anti-Russian sanctions. [00:16:45] It's certainly not up to Donald Trump to dictate the electoral calendar of a sovereign state like Ukraine, is it? In Estonia, they even proposed increasing [00:16:48] aid to Ukraine as quickly as possible so that it could continue to strike Russian [00:16:51] oil refineries, just to spite Washington in some way. Anna [00:16:55] Voronina, Matvey Popov, Vesti. [00:16:58] Lifting sanctions on Russia is beneficial for the United States of America, it serves [00:17:02] their national interests, this was acknowledged by US Treasury Secretary [00:17:05] Scott [00:17:08] Pesent. [00:17:10] President Trump took office to work for the benefit of the American [00:17:14] people, a deal is good for the American people. This will [00:17:18] lower diesel prices. Europeans gave Russians more [00:17:21] money. Since the beginning of this war, they have given them more than Ukrainians, because [00:17:25] Europeans cannot do without Russian energy resources. They [00:17:29] have a failed energy policy, they continue [00:17:32] to finance Vladimir Putin. Therefore, their statement that we have no [00:17:36] right to pause. [00:17:42] The agreement between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump broke the chain [00:17:45] of sanctions against Moscow. This was stated by former Serbian [00:17:49] President Aleksandar Vučić. He addressed his supporters live [00:17:53] through social [00:17:54] media. [00:17:58] The agreement between Trump and Putin obviously changes the [00:18:01] situation in the world in many ways. Americans thus [00:18:04] broke the chain of sanctions imposed against the Russian Federation. hit [00:18:41] for the second day [00:18:41] in a row, [00:18:45] as reported by the Arab coalition led by Saudi [00:18:48] Arabia, the explosion occurred in the area of passenger terminal [00:18:52] number 4, a fire broke out, another missile [00:18:55] was intercepted by air defense systems. The day before, Yemeni [00:18:59] Houthis shelled the same airport, 12 people [00:19:02] died, over 300 were wounded. Russia expresses [00:19:05] condolences to the families of the victims. This is stated in the declaration of our country's [00:19:09] Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Moscow condemns what happened, calls on the parties [00:19:12] to the conflict to refrain from striking civilian [00:19:16] targets. The Houthis call their actions a response to [00:19:19] Saudi bombing of Yemen. Ansar Allah's official [00:19:22] representative threatened new attacks on [00:19:26] airports. Natalia Goncharova [00:19:28] has the details. [00:19:30] This is what Riyadh airport looks like after the attack by Yemeni [00:19:33] Houthis. 12 people died, over 300 [00:19:37] were... The rebels declare that the use of all [00:19:40] Saudi Arabian airports, with the exception of the holy cities of Mecca and [00:19:44] Medina, is now unsafe. The Houthi [00:19:47] armed forces again warn all airlines and [00:19:51] travelers about the danger of using Saudi [00:19:54] airports and airspace. The Houthis note [00:19:58] that they plan to continue attacks on the most important facilities [00:20:01] of the kingdom, oil companies and [00:20:03] airports. As can be seen on the map, an Ansar Allah missile [00:20:07] flew 900 km. Experts note that the Houthis [00:20:11] have enough resources for a prolonged continuation of attacks. Everything [00:20:14] depends on the intensity of the movement's attacks, [00:20:18] that is, the Houthis, that is, how intensely they will carry them out, because, [00:20:22] as I understand it, the Houthis are capable of replenishing their [00:20:25] ballistic missiles, drones, they have [00:20:29] their own production where they assemble these types [00:20:33] of weapons from the parts that are supplied to them [00:20:36] through various smuggling routes, and [00:20:40] they can even produce some of them themselves, yes, [00:20:43] so their capabilities are quite [00:20:46] extensive, they can last for years, yes, that is, [00:20:50] neither the Americans nor the Saudis were able to destroy these [00:20:53] secret, hidden, yes, [00:20:56] so to speak, production bases for missiles and drones, where they assemble [00:21:00] them. Riyadh promised to respond to Ansar [00:21:03] Allah forces. Within the framework of the Meccan agreement between the Saudis, [00:21:07] Pakistanis and Turks, Islamabad supplied the kingdom [00:21:10] with anti-aircraft missile systems. However, the parties [00:21:13] adhere exclusively to a defensive position and [00:21:17] stated that they would observe the defensive pact. [00:21:27] Pakistan expresses full solidarity with Saudi Arabia [00:21:30] and firmly stands with its allies. Pakistan will not [00:21:34] tolerate any form of aggression under any [00:21:37] circumstances. Strikes on the Saudi capital could [00:21:40] create an aviation collapse. Kuwait Airways [00:21:43] canceled Sunday flights, to Riyadh, and Indian [00:21:46] airlines adjusted their schedule. In general, this [00:21:50] airport serves over 60 [00:21:53] airlines and connects Riyadh to more than [00:21:56] 120 destinations worldwide. [00:21:59] All of this is now in question. Natalia [00:22:02] Goncharova, Vesti. [00:22:05] In Poland, a suspect has been detained who was planning an assassination attempt on [00:22:08] the Prime Minister and the Minister of National Defense of the country. This was [00:22:12] reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the republic. Head of government Donald Tusk at [00:22:15] an emergency meeting thanked the Polish special services for [00:22:19] their swift actions. [00:22:28] She was allegedly looking for people willing to eliminate the prime minister and defense minister [00:22:32] with firearms. The alleged [00:22:35] perpetrator of the assassination knew the addresses of the politicians and their plans for [00:22:38] the coming days. Officially, all these details have not yet been confirmed, but [00:22:42] the press secretary of the Polish minister, coordinator of special services, [00:22:46] called the assassination threat more than real. [00:23:14] forces exercise "Unbreakable Brotherhood [00:23:17] 2026" has started. It involves servicemen [00:23:21] and 300 units of weapons and equipment, [00:23:24] practicing the preparation and conduct of a joint peacekeeping [00:23:27] operation. In parallel, in the republic, a special exercise [00:23:31] "Barrier 2026" is taking place, its main task is to practice [00:23:34] joint actions for radiation, chemical, biological [00:23:37] protection, as well as medical
