[00:01:05] 2 o'clock in Moscow, this is Vesti on Russia-24.
[00:01:08] Now to the main topics. Russian
[00:01:11] troops are breaking through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the so-called belt of
[00:01:15] Donbas fortresses, from several sides at once, advancing towards the
[00:01:18] Slavyansko-Kramatorsk agglomeration. The Center group continues battles in
[00:01:22] Dobropolye. In its vicinity, the village of
[00:01:25] Lidina has been liberated. On the right flank, the southern group is encircling
[00:01:28] Druzhkovka from our positions. To Kramatorsk, it's just over 10
[00:01:32] km. And the Western group is thwarting enemy attempts to
[00:01:35] counterattack in Krasny Liman. The main goal there
[00:01:39] is to prevent the Ukrainian Armed Forces from gaining a foothold on the ground. To
[00:01:42] Slavyansk, from the line of combat contact, there
[00:01:44] are 20 km left. In the Zaporozhye
[00:01:48] region, units of the Vostok group have liberated the settlement of
[00:01:51] Nikolskaya. An area of 13 square
[00:01:55] km has been taken under control. The Ministry of Defense reported new strikes on military
[00:01:59] infrastructure in Ukraine. In the rear, in the Nikolaev region, a
[00:02:02] logistics center of Novaya Pochta was hit, where dual-use
[00:02:05] cargo was stored. In the Black Sea, two
[00:02:08] dry cargo ships were attacked. In Kyiv in the evening, the
[00:02:12] air raid siren sounded again.
[00:02:15] All electricity generation in the capital of the independent state is completely
[00:02:18] destroyed by ballistic strikes by the Russian military.
[00:02:22] This was stated by the Ukrainian Center for Energy Research. The city
[00:02:25] is now completely dependent on external supplies, which
[00:02:28] are intermittent. In a number of districts, emergency
[00:02:32] power outages have been introduced, the metro has stopped, ground
[00:02:35] electric transport. A shutdown of water supply is expected. All
[00:02:38] details from Margarita Semenyuk.
[00:02:42] Residents of Kyiv joke that Pepsi-Cola is being tested from the tap, but the jokes end
[00:02:46] with the water. Ukrainians are warned about
[00:02:49] water supply schedules due to electricity
[00:02:52] interruptions.
[00:02:56] There will be water schedules because it will be related to fuel delivery, at
[00:03:00] least with the installation of supply generators. Transformer
[00:03:03] substations cannot operate constantly. At the same time, Kyiv schools
[00:03:06] may well switch to remote learning due to the lack of water and light. Some
[00:03:09] institutions will use generators, and with dim lighting,
[00:03:13] lessons will be conducted only orally. And if there is no hot water in the homes and apartments
[00:03:16] of Ukrainians, one can remember the life hack
[00:03:20] that Kyiv Mayor Vitali
[00:03:22] Klitschko shared 12 years ago.
[00:03:25] To make cold water hot, it needs to be
[00:03:28] heated. It won't work with fuel. According to some
[00:03:31] estimates, six hundred gas stations have been destroyed in Ukraine, and the cost of
[00:03:35] fuel has reached 100 hryvnias per liter. Experts are panicking.
[00:03:38] The Russian strike is tangible. Serious logistical
[00:03:42] problems lie ahead, but I do not rule out that there may be, but I do not
[00:03:45] rule out that there may be certain interruptions. So, at the moment, for the period
[00:03:49] of eliminating these breakdowns, let's say, we need to go through them. This is
[00:03:53] 2-3 weeks, as practice shows. In liters, given that
[00:03:56] most drivers consume 100 liters per month, in liters, 50%.
[00:04:01] But will gasoline be needed if traffic stops? On the roads in Kyiv,
[00:04:04] there are traffic jams towards the Paton Bridge. In the morning, traffic was severely
[00:04:07] hampered.
[00:04:10] In the capital of Ukraine, electric transport has completely stopped. Local media reported
[00:04:14] that train movements and escalator operations were suspended in the metro.
[00:04:18] Trolleybuses and trams stopped. In general, something hit the energy sector again.
[00:04:22] Again, three metro lines there, in short, are not working. Again,
[00:04:25] there are some problems, power outages. I don't want to bother
[00:04:28] you.
[00:05:12] Kyiv did not receive almost 30 billion dollars because the
[00:05:16] parliament and government did not fulfill European requirements, to introduce
[00:05:20] a tax on parcels, rules for taxing digital platforms
[00:05:23] and ensure the rule of law and the fight against corruption. The legacy of
[00:05:27] the failure to fulfill these figures should be adjusted in the last tranche, but the
[00:05:31] amount of funds that should arrive by the end of the year is still very large, and this
[00:05:35] is now a matter of Ukraine's survival, and it's about what we all need to understand,
[00:05:38] how critical this is now.
[00:05:43] Meanwhile, against the backdrop of all these problems, Kyiv literally
[00:05:46] plunged into darkness. Margarita Semenyuk, Artem Artyshov,
[00:05:50] Vesti.
[00:05:52] Russia will supply about 3-3 million tons of
[00:05:55] diesel fuel per month to foreign markets by the end of the year, said
[00:05:59] Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak in an exclusive interview with our
[00:06:03] TV channel. He clarified that the country is fully supplied with
[00:06:06] fuel. The capacities of our refineries are much higher than
[00:06:09] domestic needs, especially since in some.
[00:06:29] United States of America. Previously, sanctions were in effect, they were lifted
[00:06:32] by American colleagues for 6
[00:06:35] months. And today, negotiations are already underway
[00:06:38] between our companies and... buyers of Russian raw materials, as
[00:06:42] well as between the Ministry of Energy of Russia and the Department of Energy of the United States
[00:06:45] of America.
[00:06:47] Behaving badly? These
[00:06:49] words are how Donald Trump expressed his disappointment with the recent
[00:06:53] actions of the Houthis. Yemeni Houthis claim to have hit
[00:06:56] Riyadh airport with a ballistic missile. Footage of air
[00:07:00] defense operations is coming from the scene.
[00:07:03] Reuters reports that the airport has ceased operations, at
[00:07:06] least until the end of the week. The Ansarallah
[00:07:09] movement also reports another strike on an airbase in
[00:07:13] southwestern Saudi Arabia. Confirmations from
[00:07:15] Riyadh have not yet been received. Saudi Arabia is currently looking for
[00:07:19] more air defense systems for protection. My colleague Elizaveta
[00:07:22] Khramtsova is following the situation.
[00:07:26] The atmosphere at the anniversary 25th
[00:07:28] World Energy Congress in Riyadh sharply contrasts with
[00:07:32] what has been happening in recent days at the capital's airports in
[00:07:35] the kingdom as a whole. The authorities of Saudi Arabia are trying not to change their
[00:07:39] plans, especially when it comes to.
[00:08:20] This is primarily to impose a blockade in response to the blockade:
[00:08:24] airport for airport, city for city. If
[00:08:27] Saudi Arabia continues to increase the intensity of its
[00:08:30] actions against our country, our military options, which
[00:08:33] are very diverse, will not be able to withstand it even for
[00:08:37] a month. With its neighbors to the south, Saudi Arabia has been at war since
[00:08:40] 2015.
[00:09:25] And it's not just about military aspects here. We're talking about a city with a population of over a million people. It's tempting to believe that we're on the cusp of rapid change, but in reality, on the ground, we're still witnessing a grueling war of attrition. Believe that rapid
[00:09:29] changes await us, but in reality, on the ground, we still observe an exhausting
[00:09:32] war of attrition. The internationally recognized authorities of the republic,
[00:09:36] which are actually in exile, announced last week the start of
[00:09:39] Operation Yemen Dawn, its key. The goal is the liberation of
[00:09:43] Sanaa from the Houthis. The head of the ruling Presidential Council of
[00:09:46] Yemen, Rashat Alimi, expressed condolences regarding the attacks on
[00:09:50] the airport in Aryad. The exacerbation of the crisis was discussed late last night by the
[00:09:54] foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Iran.
[00:09:57] Saud outlined the steps his country is ready to take to
[00:10:00] protect its territory. And Abbas Arakchi stressed that reliance on
[00:10:04] military methods and ignoring political
[00:10:07] solutions will worsen the current situation. He added that
[00:10:10] the Islamic Republic is ready to help.
[00:10:25] But perhaps the Saudis will be told that this is just a political game. The situation
[00:10:28] is quite complicated. Iran denies having leverage, stating that
[00:10:32] the Houthis make decisions independently. It was reported a month
[00:10:36] ago that Saudi Arabia was running out of interceptor missiles for Petra systems. Now, the Wall
[00:10:39] Street Journal writes, Riyadh has turned to Islamabad for help in
[00:10:43] strengthening its air defense and is considering attracting foreign
[00:10:46] fighters to strengthen the positions of the Yemeni government in the fight against the Houthis.
[00:10:50] The newspaper's sources also claim that Crown Prince Mohammed bi...
[00:10:53] наследный принц Мухаммед би...
[00:12:26] It took two hours, the first few hours I certainly did not feel very comfortable, that was after
[00:12:30] the operation, the anesthesia wore off,
[00:12:32] it hurt, but the night passed, today you see, I am already ready to go to
[00:12:36] work, everything is fine, the surgeon has a volumetric image of internal
[00:12:39] organs with multiple magnification before his eyes, fingers in manipulators, feet on
[00:12:43] pedals, robotic arm
[00:12:46] rotates in all
[00:12:49] directions, the ability to manipulate in the most
[00:12:53] difficult-to-reach... areas,
[00:12:56] maximally breakthrough technologies, operations through
[00:12:59] vessels, organ transplants, patient
[00:13:03] safety and personnel training are discussed at the seventeenth congress
[00:13:06] of Russian surgeons and the eleventh congress of Moscow
[00:13:09] surgeons, which are held in the capital under the general motto "Surgery is
[00:13:13] space", and we operate
[00:13:16] more than 10 million
[00:13:20] patients, about
[00:13:22] 50% are performed.
[00:13:55] are eagerly awaiting the appearance of domestic robotic complexes that
[00:13:58] will expand access to such operations. The robot that is presented
[00:14:02] today is unique, it is better than American and
[00:14:05] Chinese analogues, it has more degrees of freedom,
[00:14:09] extended functionality, so I am sure that it will be in demand not only by Russian
[00:14:13] surgeons, but will also be able to occupy a significant niche
[00:14:17] in the international market. A special place is given to military field
[00:14:20] surgery: participants analyze the evolution of tactical medicine,
[00:14:24] compare. approaches of different countries and identify best
[00:14:27] practices suitable for use in emergency situations. Our
[00:14:31] task is to bring medicine and
[00:14:34] highly qualified medical care as close as possible to
[00:14:37] the line where combat contact occurs, where
[00:14:40] our heroes get wounded,
[00:14:44] this includes gene engineering, these are
[00:14:47] additive methods. The International Congress of Surgeons is a platform
[00:14:50] for exchanging experience and developing global standards, with over
[00:14:53] participants.
[00:15:26] Artificial intelligence, robots, high-precision diagnostic
[00:15:28] systems, all for the sake of patients returning to family,
[00:15:32] work, and normal life faster. This is what domestic medicine is moving
[00:15:35] towards... new orbits. Alyona Ragozina,
[00:15:39] Alexander Fil, Margarita Yunusova, Vesti,
[00:24:24] It plays no role what Grinkevich says, it's a set of words, that is,
[00:24:28] as often happens, generals talk absolute nonsense, because the phrase "we
[00:24:31] are here now", well, what then, where did they show themselves, in
[00:24:35] a war with even a relatively
[00:24:38] comparable, at least by some criteria, opponent, like
[00:24:42] Iran, America could no longer show anything, that is, America
[00:24:45] more or less successfully showed itself, as it likes to start,
[00:24:48] approached. Powerful groups of
[00:24:52] ships, well, that's American military formation, so
[00:24:55] what? How did they approach?
[00:24:58] Afghanistan, Iraq, decades, powerful groups of ships withdrew,
[00:25:01] when their sewage starts not working, they don't know what to do,
[00:25:04] so all this performance from the time of the Korean War, from the time
[00:25:08] of the Vietnam War, which the Americans already lost completely, without losing a single
[00:25:12] battle, shows that the issues are resolved by completely
[00:25:15] different means.
[00:25:18] Now, modern wars in general, where... it's not entirely clear, what is
[00:25:21] victory? What is victory about? Where
[00:25:24] is the line? Who and where did the Americans defeat? What did it lead
[00:25:28] to? The establishment of a dollar sphere of influence? But these countries, into which they
[00:25:31] invaded, were already very oriented in one way or another towards the global
[00:25:35] economy. Moreover, the political systems that existed in these
[00:25:38] countries were also oriented towards America, well, in one way or another. Let me remind you
[00:25:42] that the Iraq that they so hated was used by the Americans for a long time
[00:25:46] to wage war against Iran,
[00:25:49] and... the French supplied a lot of what is now considered absolutely
[00:25:53] forbidden, the Americans supplied chemical weapons, absolutely right,
[00:25:57] African countries,
[00:25:59] Latin American countries, what is victory? Well, they took and kidnapped
[00:26:03] Maduro, did it get easier? No, it
[00:26:06] didn't. They took and once sorted out Panama
[00:26:10] and now they have to say, oh, there are Chinese, oh, let's do something,
[00:26:14] well, they'll do it now, and what will happen in a year, a different
[00:26:17] concept, a completely different life, so all
[00:26:20] these NATO theories, all these ideas, all these
[00:26:23] oblivion, they are about nothing. The economy is
[00:26:27] what matters. When Trump says, I don't
[00:26:30] care what you think about?
[00:27:02] states that no, well, listen, it's absolutely, absolutely obvious
[00:27:06] that there was Russian interference in the elections, good, so then
[00:27:09] Brexit must be canceled, it understands that Andy Burnham uttered some
[00:27:13] absolutely nonsense, should I say,
[00:27:16] nonsense, then further
[00:27:19] his press secretary Berneva appears, and
[00:27:23] says: "Considering everything we know about Russia,
[00:27:26] it's impossible to imagine that it didn't try to use
[00:27:29] the referendum for its own interests, well, as he said."
[00:34:18] European leaders, the worst I've seen in recent
[00:34:22] decades, and the smaller and weaker they are, the more they
[00:34:25] bark. So, the loudest voices are the three Baltic
[00:34:29] states, tiny countries with a significant
[00:34:32] Russian-speaking minority, they spew hatred towards
[00:34:36] Russia every day. This is very surprising, but it is not an instinct
[00:34:40] for survival. I advised Estonia, one of the Baltic
[00:34:43] countries.
[00:36:15] To start today, not about the British, because they are a historical adversary of
[00:36:19] Russia, but about diesel diplomacy. I
[00:36:22] think that this term will
[00:36:25] definitely go down in history alongside
[00:36:29] ping-pong diplomacy, and looking at the
[00:36:32] agreements that were reached between the President of Russia and the President of the United
[00:36:36] States of America, I want to say that this agreement is much
[00:36:40] more political than economic. Well,
[00:36:43] let's start, as they say, with numbers: Donald Trump
[00:36:46] said that the volume of diesel that Russia supplies is
[00:36:50] 300, 500, and a million, that is,
[00:36:53] 1.8
[00:36:56] million barrels. I... I looked up statistics,
[00:37:00] tons, yes, and made sure that, strictly speaking, the United
[00:37:03] States of America is the largest exporter in 2025
[00:37:06] of this very diesel, and so as not to
[00:37:10] tire our respected viewers with figures, I want to
[00:37:13] say that the volume that Trump was talking about is completely
[00:37:16] insignificant for the United States of America, which are themselves
[00:37:20] the largest exporter, that is, we have a situation where the largest
[00:37:23] exporter himself buys diesel, well, it's clear that
[00:37:26] the situation from 25
[00:37:57] defeat of the party he leads,
[00:37:59] will cast doubt on
[00:38:02] his place in history. To be president, during whose presidency your
[00:38:05] political party, after a triumphant victory, suffered
[00:38:08] a triumphant defeat, that's not very good for one's place in history. This
[00:38:11] means that Trump needs to change
[00:38:15] the course of events that is programmed by the mass
[00:38:19] media, by the invisible hand of the market, which keeps the price of diesel
[00:38:22] high in the United...
[00:38:25] уровне стоимость дизеля в соединенных...
[00:38:57] and he gives this chance, Russia helps the United States
[00:39:00] of America, and Donald Trump demonstrates political
[00:39:04] flexibility, well, it seems to me that the political advantages for
[00:39:07] Trump are absolutely obvious, while the volume of diesel that is sent to
[00:39:11] the United States of America is not critical for the American economy,
[00:39:15] this, it seems to me, is an important point, which, in fact, I don't
[00:39:18] know, because at the moment, when it comes, they say
[00:39:22] up to a quarter of consumption, there is a certain type of diesel for
[00:39:25] a certain type of tasks, here it is always important to simply look not
[00:39:29] at abstract nomenclature, but quite specifically at what it goes for, what it
[00:39:33] affects, because Trump wouldn't have gone for it just like
[00:39:36] that, that is, Trump needed exactly this brand, exactly at these
[00:39:40] times, exactly for these purposes, that is, here the total volume doesn't play a role, but
[00:39:43] even more, he needs events, in
[00:39:47] the United States of America, there is something that, in the absence
[00:39:50] or high cost of which, his political opponents accuse
[00:39:54] him. So, events, well, he could have
[00:39:56] pulled it off himself. He already forced European countries to
[00:40:00] make a decision, to open the piggy bank,
[00:40:04] but maybe there won't be enough to open the piggy bank, here, Vladimirich, about that
[00:40:07] a little, a little later,
[00:40:11] let's talk about the piggy bank, look, the United States, an
[00:40:14] exporter themselves, buys our diesel, in today's
[00:40:18] situation, when the Americans, we have talked about this repeatedly,
[00:40:22] are trying to take control of oil flows in different
[00:40:25] parts of the world, from...
[00:40:28] those who want to buy diesel will buy it. After all, the United States
[00:40:31] of America bought Russian diesel, which means that those
[00:40:34] who need diesel will go and buy it from the United States
[00:40:38] of America. The weight of the United States
[00:40:42] of America increases in this situation, at least for a certain
[00:40:45] short-term period. As for, I'm not
[00:40:48] sure it's the brand they will resell,
[00:40:52] they can release their own, but they probably don't take it, they
[00:40:56] will sell their own.
[00:42:10] if it depended on Russia, then they quickly created dependence on the United
[00:42:14] States of America and did not think to create such diversification, when they
[00:42:17] would buy from us and buy from the USA. Now a few words about what
[00:42:21] Russia gets. Well, the most obvious thing that comes to mind is
[00:42:25] that the United States of America, one of the initiators of sanctions, is lifting
[00:42:29] one of the sanction sectors, which is
[00:42:31] good. Furthermore, this is an example for others,
[00:42:35] will they follow this example?2"> well, and Zelensky, of course,
[00:42:38] совершенно другой вопрос. но тем не менее, сегодня такая паника в
[00:42:42] Европе на Украине, просто потому, что Соединённые Штаты Америки
[00:42:46] снимают санкции с России, а я напомню вам, что 18 октября, то есть
[00:42:50] на днях, истекает срок, за который Дональд Трамп должен принять
[00:42:53] санкции против России, согласно вот этому законопроект у аббатских санкций, то есть в
[00:42:57] тот момент, когда надо вводить санкции, Соединённые Штаты
[00:43:00] санкции снимают, ну и Зеленский, конечно же
[00:43:04] is panicking for one simple reason: he finds himself in a situation where
[00:43:08] in the media, yes, in essence too,
[00:43:10] he turns out to be guilty, and Donald Trump now repeats this,
[00:43:13] repeats, repeats, that Zelensky personally
[00:43:17] is responsible for the increase in the cost at American
[00:43:21] gas stations, and from this follow certain media, and later
[00:43:24] possibly political conclusions, let's not jump ahead and place
[00:43:28] hopes, but nevertheless, we will observe, we will observe, this
[00:43:32] means that Zelensky is made the scapegoat in
[00:43:35] a situation that the American voter doesn't
[00:43:38] like, this is a very un... comfortable position for any
[00:43:41] politician, of course, I liked Friedrich Merz, he said that
[00:43:45] Russian diesel, no, no Russian diesel, and we
[00:43:49] said, well, okay, live with expensive, if you're a fool, he said,
[00:43:53] I'm a numbskull, but there won't be, no, never
[00:43:56] will there be Russian diesel,
[00:44:00] you cretin, please, we'll first go the St. Petersburg
[00:44:02] way, thank you, today St. Petersburg
[00:44:05] speaks first, and we listen carefully, and you
[00:44:08] summarize,
[00:44:11] today in Warsaw, the two-day Warsaw Security Forum
[00:44:15] for researchers, for
[00:44:17] scientists - it's just a bottomless treasure trove of observations, empirical
[00:44:21] material, all sorts of physiognomic
[00:44:24] things, I'll try to say a few words about that, but I'll start with such a
[00:44:28] general comment, there was in the sixties, seventies
[00:44:31] years, well, even fifties, sixties, rather such a very
[00:44:34] good British scientist, Martin
[00:44:37] Wight, he died early, so he didn't have time to...
[00:46:10] in 2014, in 2014, in fact, the Crimean Spring
[00:46:13] began, the Americans decided to take these talks
[00:46:16] about security and Eastern Europe into their own hands, they reduced the Riga
[00:46:20] conference to the level of a private meeting between
[00:46:24] universities, and so the Warsaw conference really became
[00:46:27] quite a significant event, which generally gathers all
[00:46:31] the Russophobes of the planet to compare notes, check
[00:46:35] slogans, that's exactly what happened today, and
[00:46:38] I managed to watch the first plenary
[00:46:42] session live, and a couple of small sections, here's a separate comment,
[00:46:45] but the first speech by Donald Tusk, the President of Poland,
[00:46:49] was, well, yes.
[00:47:00] if we need a list of Russia's enemies, we can simply include all 900
[00:47:04] participants of the conference, because there was nothing
[00:47:07] but rabid Russophobia, and then, well, and how does it
[00:47:11] help you, well, it will come in handy in
[00:47:14] the future, well, it simply helps them themselves, no, of course not,
[00:47:17] of course, that's what I want to talk about now, how not, well, what, well,
[00:47:20] paralysis and then what? they write, and this
[00:47:24] is what in historical
[00:47:28] today they will fight for grants, and after Tusk, the floor was immediately given to someone
[00:47:31] from Kyiv, well, we can guess who, which means that
[00:47:35] Zelensky has a new favorite word, now he has Energy
[00:47:38] ceasefire, he has energy ceasefire, well, apparently such
[00:47:42] keywords, dear to him, are not translated into Ukrainian, right, so
[00:47:45] to say he pronounced this word 15 times in
[00:47:49] 10 minutes, then I just lost count. I got tired,
[00:47:52] and, well, what his soul aches for, or what
[00:47:56] is burning all around, is, of course,
[00:47:58] the need to save the Ukrainian economy, his
[00:48:02] scream from the screen was exactly about this, and Zelensky also gave a very
[00:48:05] elegant explanation why he cannot hold
[00:48:08] elections, well, that is, there was a completely clear instruction from
[00:48:12] Trump, and Zelensky's answer, in fact, was incredibly
[00:48:15] rude, although his speechwriters wrote his speech,
[00:48:18] which tried to avoid sharp corners, but this explanation is completely...
[00:48:22] wonderful, we cannot hold elections because before, the Russians only
[00:48:26] bombed us at night, and now they
[00:48:28] bomb us during the day, and during the day, well, it's impossible to hold,
[00:48:30] well, apparently, the election campaign, and most
[00:48:34] importantly, the voting, so there will be no elections,
[00:48:38] that's why, at the first meeting,
[00:48:41] these two speakers were present, and there was also a
[00:48:45] chairwoman, I don't remember the Polish last name, a professor from some
[00:48:49] university, who said that we do have a plan for victory,
[00:48:53] after lunch an American general will speak, who will tell what the military thinks, but we
[00:48:57] politicians also have a plan for victory. So, the plan of
[00:48:59] victory, Zelensky's plan, which was
[00:49:03] proposed exactly 2 years ago in October 2024, came to mind, there
[00:49:06] were several key points, the first and most important point was Ukraine's entry
[00:49:10] into NATO, and the second point was
[00:49:14] everything related to the supply
[00:49:17] of long-range weapons that can be used for strikes
[00:49:20] deep inside the country, the third was so vaguely
[00:49:24] formulated, but in general its essence is clear: the deployment of NATO troops on
[00:49:28] the territory of Ukraine. And the fourth point was absolutely clear
[00:49:30] sanctions. This was 2 years ago. Of these points, if
[00:49:34] anything has grown, then regarding long-range weapons, the Ukrainians
[00:49:37] indeed received from their sponsors in Europe those very planes
[00:49:41] or drones that fly far. Today, the Polish
[00:49:44] chairwoman of this conference,
[00:49:48] she is really the chairwoman, proposed a
[00:49:52] three-point program. Point one: take 200
[00:49:56] billion euros from Russia. Point two: give Ukraine
[00:49:59] 300 Patriots. And she
[00:50:02] didn't say where to get them from, right?
[00:50:05] And point three: don't buy diesel. You see, when
[00:50:09] today both Sachs spoke and you spoke about intellectual
[00:50:13] destitution, well, listen, this was said seriously,
[00:50:16] we will fulfill 300 Patriots, where will they get them from? They won't
[00:50:20] even give diesel.
[00:50:22] 300 launchers, no, not
[00:50:26] launchers, missiles, but 300 - that's for
[00:50:28] what? Yes,
[00:50:30] me too.
[00:50:36] Therefore, there was rather such a call from
[00:50:40] the European Commission, yes,
[00:50:43] speaking,
[00:50:45] the head of defense industry and space,
[00:50:48] the European Commission, that's exactly it,
[00:51:23] there was another story with Baltic Jock, although from Brussels, Kayakala
[00:51:27] today held, as she believes, a wonderful meeting
[00:51:29] of her, Coriper is what it's called,
[00:51:33] representatives of European Union countries, who agreed that
[00:51:36] new sanctions will be imposed, the twenty-second round,
[00:51:39] she has such logic,
[00:51:43] look, when they ask, how many times can you do the same thing 22 times, she says: no, you don't understand,
[00:51:46] these sanctions inflicted 1 trillion
[00:51:50] euros worth of damage on the Russian Federation. Imagine if that trillion
[00:51:53] euros were used to buy the first, second, and third, it would have been
[00:51:57] even worse, that's the logic, Europe took 1 trillion euros,
[00:52:01] which, listen, we're not going to hypothesize that Kayakala is telling the truth, we...
[00:52:57] the whole situation around the contacts between Vladimir Putin and Donald
[00:53:01] Trump, right, if we look at the pros and cons -
[00:53:05] this is an important situation, so I think we'll talk a lot more about it, try to break down the pros and cons a bit,
[00:53:08] well, firstly, the American president
[00:53:12] appeals to Russia for support before the parliamentary
[00:53:16] elections, honestly, I have never heard or seen
[00:53:19] anything like it in history, but this is objectively true, because
[00:53:23] I don't think that, so to speak, this diesel is just some kind of, so to speak,
[00:53:26] trinket for him, no, he actually negotiated with Canada for the purchase
[00:53:30] of diesel, yes, he called the Prime Minister of Canada, so to speak, with whom he recently
[00:53:34] generally promised there... to unite the USA and so on and so forth, he needs this,
[00:53:37] he really needs this, because there are few trump cards, in fact,
[00:53:41] yes, and it is necessary, so to speak, to give something
[00:53:44] for these elections, the situation for him is quite difficult, so whom
[00:53:48] did he turn to for help, like it or not, but he turned to
[00:53:51] Russia for help, Trump is certainly risking, because we remember how long he was accused of the fact that
[00:53:55] Russia and Putin supported him in the elections, in those
[00:53:58] elections, so to speak, in the last elections, but nevertheless it
[00:54:02] is so, I honestly don't remember such a precedent.
[00:56:05] he is to blame for everything and the question of elections has been raised again, well, whatever you want,
[00:56:09] this is thrown into the information sphere, it becomes a subject for
[00:56:12] discussion, can it affect the situation, it can't, it
[00:56:16] might be able to, so to speak, yes, although I would certainly not exaggerate
[00:56:19] these things, nevertheless it is so, he, so to speak, this
[00:56:22] thing, this thing works, well, and Trump shows that he can still do something, because
[00:56:26] we have been saying for a long time that he can't do anything at all, I think that theoretically he can,
[00:56:30] practically, that is, of course, a question, yes, will he go for it, so to speak, or not
[00:56:34] go.
[00:56:38] and I think this is also a rather important thing, although as for, well, the important thing here is that he focuses on Zelensky, but the question of the elections themselves,
[00:56:42] by the way, yes, he is a leader, he doesn't say president, he says leader and
[00:56:46] so on, and so on, but the question of the elections themselves, I would, to be honest,
[00:56:50] not take lightly. Why? Well, because in fact,
[00:56:53] elections are a slippery thing, who was talking about elections?
[00:56:57] Well, a change of leader. Trump didn't say elections, well, he said
[00:57:01] a change of leader, change leader, so to speak, that's what he said, yes.
[00:57:47] You said he was illegitimate, now he is legitimate, and Europe will say, well, he is
[00:57:50] legitimate, and America will also say, he is legitimate.
[01:01:06] These are the news on Russia 24, we continue to inform
[01:01:09] you about the most notable events up to this minute. Russian
[01:01:13] troops are breaking through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the so-called belt
[01:01:17] of Donbas, from several sides at once, advancing towards the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk
[01:01:21] agglomeration. The Center group continues fighting in Dobropillia
[01:01:25] and its surroundings, the village of Lidyne has been liberated. On the neighboring
[01:01:28] flank, the southern group is encircling Druzhkivka. From
[01:01:32] our positions to Kramatorsk it is just over 10 km, and
[01:01:35] the Western group is countering enemy attempts to counterattack in
[01:01:39] Krasny Lyman. The main goal there is to prevent the AFU from
[01:01:42] entrenching themselves on the ground. To Sloviansk from the line of contact
[01:01:45] remains 20 km. In
[01:01:49] Zaporizhzhia region, units of the Vostok group liberated
[01:01:52] the settlement of Mykilske. An area of 13
[01:01:56] sq km was taken under control. The Ministry of Defense
[01:01:59] reported new strikes on military infrastructure in the Ukrainian
[01:02:03] rear. In Mykolaiv region, a Nova Poshta logistics center
[01:02:06] where dual-use goods were stored was hit. In the Black
[01:02:10] Sea, two dry cargo ships were attacked. They
[01:02:13] were transporting military cargo. In Kyiv, in the evening, air raid sirens sounded again.
[01:02:19] All electricity generation in the capital of independent
[01:02:22] Ukraine has been completely destroyed by ballistic strikes by Russian
[01:02:25] military. This was stated by the Ukrainian Energy Research Center.
[01:02:29] The city is now completely dependent on external
[01:02:32] supplies, which are irregular. In some areas, emergency
[01:02:36] power outages have been introduced, the subway has stopped, ground
[01:02:40] electric transport, water supply disruptions
[01:02:43] are expected.
[01:02:45] Donald Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social that he considers
[01:02:49] the diesel deal with Russia absolutely correct, because
[01:02:52] it - quote, meets the current interests of the American
[01:02:56] people and has nothing to do with Europe,
[01:03:00] which, according to the US president, should not
[01:03:03] be indignant. What was the reaction from Washington to the displeasure of
[01:03:06] Brussels bureaucrats, Dmitry Melnikov will tell us.
[01:03:09] At least six, and according to other
[01:03:13] data up to ten times since mid-summer, Washington demanded from
[01:03:16] Zelensky not to aggravate the global fuel crisis. During his
[01:03:20] calls to Kyiv, Vice President Vance, Treasury Secretary
[01:03:23] Besent and Energy Secretary Reid insisted on
[01:03:27] stopping strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, clarifying that this causes
[01:03:31] direct damage to US national interests. On the
[01:03:34] pre-election trail, Trump himself joined these demands,
[01:03:37] but Zelensky did not heed, and, as Axios
[01:03:40] writes, he seems to have overplayed his hand. Trump is indeed
[01:03:44] furious, he believes that Zelensky takes US aid for
[01:03:47] granted - a White House official said. Each time after
[01:03:50] his fury at Zelensky, Trump sends him to elections, and each
[01:03:54] time Zelensky does not understand the hints. And now Trump is already
[01:03:57] directly demanding that the head of the Kyiv regime step
[01:04:01] down, in response Zelensky is blackmailing the head
[01:04:04] of the White House, hinting that the Russian diesel needed by him before the elections
[01:04:08] may not reach the US shores. Why doesn't America
[01:04:11] conclude a deal for the supply of diesel fuel with Ukraine, because
[01:04:14] it is we who influence whether these ships will move.
[01:04:18] Zelensky openly bet on Trump's and
[01:04:21] the Republicans' defeat, but Trump is not used to losing. On the weekend,
[01:04:24] representatives of the State Department and the Pentagon warned Europe
[01:04:28] and Ukraine that if they do not stop, the consequences
[01:04:32] will be catastrophic.
[01:04:35] Donald Trump is now threatening to cut two things: intelligence sharing
[01:04:39] with Ukrainians and programs that are on Ukraine's priority list
[01:04:42] of needs. Cutting off from American
[01:04:45] intelligence will almost completely blind the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and without
[01:04:49] supplies through the "Pearl" program, Ukraine will be left without a lion's
[01:04:52] share of ammunition for air defense. And no matter how much Europe tries to convince
[01:04:56] itself and Zelensky of its ability to completely replace
[01:04:59] the USA, the Russian-American diesel deal has messed up
[01:05:03] all the cards. Even Kaya Kallas, with whom the USA does not
[01:05:06] speak at all, has already grasped the main point. Trump has opened
[01:05:10] the Overton window. Direct energy agreements with Moscow,
[01:05:13] which were unthinkable until recently, are becoming acceptable, and the very previous
[01:05:17] logic of sanctions against Russia is in question.
[01:05:20] России.
[01:05:24] Of course, the USA is our main ally, but our position
[01:05:27] is clear: if we want to end this... The only
[01:05:31] way to do this is to increase pressure on Russia. We call
[01:05:35] on the USA to impose sanctions to end this war. To
[01:05:39] all the European hubbub, Washington responds with dry
[01:05:42] facts. First, through the mouth of Treasury Secretary
[01:05:44] Besent.
[01:05:48] Europeans, since the beginning of this war, have provided more funds to Russians than
[01:05:52] to Ukrainians, because they cannot get rid of Russian energy resources.
[01:05:56] And then the US President himself comes out with specific figures.
[01:06:00] The European Union paid Russia 250
[01:06:03] billion dollars for energy, and the media
[01:06:06] that spread fake news don't even want to touch this
[01:06:10] topic. I made the right choice for
[01:06:13] the American people. Always, America
[01:06:16] first. Just as these reproaches in Europe and Kyiv
[01:06:20] tried to ignore, Trump's statement that Zelensky could have
[01:06:24] concluded a peace agreement several
[01:06:26] times.
[01:06:43] It doesn't matter, I don't know what Boris Johnson is doing now, he
[01:06:47] is already retired, maybe retired, but he remembers,
[01:06:50] the former British prime minister is now calling for sabotaging
[01:06:54] agreements, if he tries to cross the English Channel, I hope the Royal Navy
[01:06:58] will intercept him. We must help them and the best way
[01:07:01] to end this is to lower fuel prices. A feeling
[01:07:05] of helplessness breeds blind malice, but it's dangerous to take it out on
[01:07:08] Trump himself, so Ukrainian activists in Europe
[01:07:12] are again lashing out at his trusted associates. Thus, the notorious
[01:07:15] Russophobe from France, Bernard-Henri Lévy, tries to mock,
[01:07:19] telling about his conversation with Steve
[01:07:22] Widkoff.
[01:07:26] Tell your Ukrainian friends not to annoy my president.
[01:08:12] funds for the future reconstruction of the country, although,
[01:08:16] this future, judging by Donald Trump's sharp statements, the White
[01:08:19] House already clearly sees without Zelensky. Dmitry
[01:08:23] Melnikov, Pavel Kostrikov and Polina Golovnina, news from
[01:08:26] Washington. Russia will supply about
[01:08:30] 3-3.5 million tons of diesel fuel per
[01:08:33] month to foreign markets until the end of the year, Vice-Premier
[01:08:37] Alexander Novak said in an exclusive interview to our TV channel. He
[01:08:40] specified that the country fully...
