Open a business account on [00:11:39] Committee of the Russian Federation speaking, you are involved [00:11:42] in a case of aiding and abetting the preparation of a terrorist act. [00:11:46] The situation is serious, not a word to anyone. Real [00:11:49] special services officers will never contact you [00:11:52] virtually, by phone in a messenger. Block boldly without talking. [00:12:19] Doctors from St. Petersburg are helping children from Luhansk get a chance at a healthy [00:12:23] life at the Pediatric University. They underwent complex heart [00:12:26] surgeries, now the patients feel better and are [00:12:30] recovering. Next is a report by Ekaterina [00:12:32] Fisenko. A whole warehouse of good things on the hospital [00:12:36] windowsill, all of Nicole's favorite games and her favorite animals. [00:12:39] For the post-operative examination, she and her mother prepared thoroughly, because it [00:12:43] was difficult to get out of the village near Luhansk, and it will most likely be difficult to return [00:12:47] as well. As they say, it's the road of death. [00:12:51] Uh-huh. The day before we were going for an ultrasound, [00:12:55] a drone hit the bus right at the bus station, [00:12:58] the bus burned down, [00:13:02] no casualties, but after that we decided not to [00:13:06] risk our lives, we didn't save the child for this, [00:13:10] to destroy her, uh-huh, [00:13:13] so it's easier for us to come here. Nicole is 9 [00:13:17] years old, the smallest in her class, and studying was difficult, [00:13:20] that's all, no more signs of illness, under war conditions [00:13:23] a diagnosis could not be made. Only when she was 8 years old in Luhansk [00:13:27] the truth was revealed: two heart defects, patent ductus [00:13:30] arteriosus and ventricular septal defect, a large and [00:13:34] serious defect. At the Pediatric University there is another patient from [00:13:37] LNR, ten-year-old Kirill. The defect was discovered immediately [00:13:41] at birth, the first operation was performed in Kyiv, the next one [00:13:45] could not be performed. I started to notice shortness of breath when walking, [00:13:48] fatigue when walking, his [00:13:50] complexion began to change, in the eye area it began [00:13:54] to change. [00:13:57] well, the child was changing, of course, both the boy and the girl [00:14:00] grew poorly, couldn't really sleep and lead an active lifestyle, if [00:14:04] such a patient is not saved in time, pulmonary hypertension develops, in principle, [00:14:07] the question of operability arises. Doctors at the Pediatric [00:14:11] University managed to prove that even at 10 years old a patient [00:14:14] can be saved. The operations themselves are very complex, but [00:14:18] Nicole had to be prepared for six months, her mother was immediately [00:14:21] warned that the operation might not be needed. [00:14:27] In Kirill's case, a homograft, a living prosthesis, was placed in the absence of a valve, [00:14:31] and his heart is already acquiring the correct shape and [00:14:35] size. With Nicole, the situation is more complex, on a two-centimeter [00:14:38] septal defect between the ventricles of the heart, a double patch [00:14:42] technology with fenestration was used. This is [00:14:44] an opening, a valve that covers the opening, [00:14:48] if a child develops a crisis of pulmonary [00:14:51] hypertension, or high pressure in the right [00:14:55] chambers, this fenestra opens, allowing [00:14:58] excess blood to flow from one [00:15:02] ventricle to another. Both children in the same ward are visibly [00:15:05] recovering. Of course, they will be observed in St. Petersburg, but they are already making [00:15:09] plans for life in their native places in Luhansk region. Sculpt, [00:15:12] uh-huh, play with the rabbit, uh-huh, [00:15:17] and that's it. A little more than a week after the operation, Kirill is no longer so [00:15:21] pale, feels good. Nicole grew 4 cm [00:15:25] in six months and successfully copes with the school curriculum. [00:15:28] Two lives of Luhansk children were literally saved in St. Petersburg. [00:15:32] Ekaterina Fesenko, Andrey Perfileev, Alexander Burushkov, Alexandra Kolkova. [00:15:35] Vesti St. Petersburg. [00:15:38] Meanwhile, it's 10 in the capital and we continue the morning news broadcast. [00:15:42] Logistics centers and energy facilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces became targets of our Geraniums and [00:15:46] parcels. During the night, Russian servicemen continued to launch [00:15:50] strikes, the Ministry of Defense reported. In Kyiv region, by [00:15:53] morning, a large warehouse had completely burned down. Firefighters are clearing the debris. According [00:15:56] to information, military equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was stored here, including [00:16:00] components for drones. In footage published by eyewitnesses, [00:16:03] flames and smoke rise high into the sky. During the burning, [00:16:07] explosions from secondary detonation were heard. In Zaporizhzhia, [00:16:11] a railway locomotive was attacked, a massive strike on the TPP in [00:16:14] Dnipropetrovsk, as a result of the hit, a strong [00:16:17] fire broke out at the site. In Kharkiv region, a Nova Poshta terminal was hit, in [00:16:21] Dnipropetrovsk - an electrical substation. In the waters of [00:16:24] the Black Sea, a dry cargo ship with military equipment of the [00:16:27] Ukrainian Armed Forces was hit. [00:16:30] The Armenian court arrested Samvel Karapetyan for a month. The leader of the Strong [00:16:33] Armenia party and head of the Tashir group of companies has already been taken into custody. [00:16:37] Previously, he was under house arrest in Yerevan. The day before, [00:16:41] a meeting of representatives of opposition blocs was held at the politician's [00:16:44] home. There, consolidation was also announced and a joint statement [00:16:47] was made. The main goals of the unification are the protection [00:16:51] of national identity and the Armenian Apostolic Church, [00:16:54] the restoration of democratic freedoms and rights in the [00:16:57] country. [00:17:00] Ukraine faces capitulation if Kyiv continues the conflict, said [00:17:04] Zelensky's former press secretary Yulia Mendel. [00:17:38] With the level of corruption that currently exists in Ukraine, the country can [00:17:42] move towards EU membership, the Financial Times writes, here is [00:17:46] another turn of the scandal. The heads of key departments of the SBU, [00:17:49] National Police and the Prosecutor General's Office turned out to be tightly integrated into a large [00:17:53] criminal group. Anton Dadykin studied the case [00:17:56] materials. [00:17:59] The National Anti-Corruption Bureau struck at the pocket [00:18:02] security forces of the Zelensky regime, the Security Service of [00:18:05] Ukraine. Wiretapping [00:18:38] showed [00:18:47] that Zelensky's people tried to take over everything that brought in [00:18:50] money, including offices, either they wanted to take these [00:18:54] offices for themselves, all of them, or they [00:18:58] wanted, if they came out, who they came out to, brother, this is very [00:19:01] important, because there, well, I there you don't understand how I shot back, [00:19:05] there, the bald one also helped. [00:19:07] Maybe we should think about some kind of bribe for him too, brother, [00:19:11] look, of course we'll bribe him. The interlocutor of [00:19:14] the criminal, Mexican, is drug lord Yegor Burkin, and [00:19:18] the official nicknamed Bald is the former head of the SBU [00:19:22] counterintelligence department, Ilya Vityuk. From the NABU [00:19:25] materials it became known that almost all Ukrainian law enforcement agencies, including [00:19:29] the National Police, were hooked on bribes. [00:19:32] Brother, let's probably just not be able to pay everyone who [00:19:36] covered for us in the National Police, I'm happy with him as a partner and [00:19:40] I wouldn't want to spoil relations. The Mexican criminal also [00:19:43] discusses amounts for Comrade K, that is, [00:19:46] the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Klymenko, the fee is [00:19:49] 500,000 US dollars. I'll tell you straight [00:19:52] that we are ready to give Comrade K [00:19:56] 500 for help to someone who [00:19:59] goes to him 200, that is 800 rubles, so that he doesn't mess with [00:20:03] us anymore, look, what they want from me. [00:20:38] SBU, covering 52 [00:20:40] call centers. Phone scammers extorted money not [00:20:44] only from Russian citizens, but throughout Europe. In Brussels they [00:20:48] knew about it, but did nothing. [00:20:50] According to some data, EU officials were paid [00:20:53] kickbacks on time. Huge sums every month were transferred [00:20:57] to crypto wallets of SBU, National Police [00:21:00] and Prosecutor General's Office heads. In all departments everyone knows everything, and [00:21:03] no one pressures us given that I am there, so I see [00:21:07] no problematic points in me communicating personally. People from Zelensky's [00:21:11] administration, Ukrainian security forces, covered [00:21:14] smuggling, the manufacture of counterfeit euros, and also solved [00:21:18] problems with competitors. Attempts at murder had their [00:21:22] own price tag, for impressive sums they offered to close or [00:21:25] collapse any criminal case, brother, [00:21:28] we will clearly understand everything, there [00:21:32] tomorrow, if they don't give an answer, we [00:21:35] will then talk to the general, find out what [00:21:39] materials are there, what they are preparing, well then I'll tell you as [00:21:42] it is, that it's like this, the NABU investigation turned out to be [00:21:45] so massive that even Zelensky's allies could not [00:21:48] hush up the scandal. But EU politicians are trying to turn the situation around, [00:21:52] to show that Kyiv is allegedly fighting corruption, [00:21:56] although Zelensky did everything to destroy NABU, he [00:21:59] failed. Former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan [00:22:02] Kravchenko fled the country in September, while the appetites [00:22:06] of Zelensky's entourage grew so much that they caused [00:22:09] indignation even among bandits, I would talk about [00:22:13] watches, about you, what is it, oh rats, [00:22:16] corrupt officials, shoot [00:22:20] them, because of you the country became what [00:22:23] it became, I'm not surprised, why do people then insure themselves, because [00:22:27] you behave like that, and if we don't [00:22:30] have IDs, we can't shoot you, how can we insure ourselves? [00:22:34] Corruption became the basis of the Ukrainian economy, [00:22:37] confirmed Zelensky's former press secretary Yulia Mendel in an [00:22:40] interview with the Berliner newspaper. For [00:22:43] many years no one asked Zelensky questions, [00:22:47] Europeans and Americans accepted his diplomacy based on [00:22:50] threats and humiliating insults, while [00:22:54] any discussion of corruption was considered an attack on [00:22:57] Ukraine. Now, in the fifth year of the war, this strategy simply does not [00:23:01] work, it does not matter how much money you give [00:23:04] Ukraine, we have dysfunctional institutions, [00:23:07] corruption as the basis of the economy, defenseless [00:23:10] population and human rights violations on an almost unimaginable [00:23:14] scale. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine also [00:23:18] announced the completion. [00:23:50] objects in the region, the attacker admitted his guilt and [00:23:53] cooperates with [00:23:54] the investigation. In the process [00:23:58] of cooperation, I carried out tasks of [00:24:00] an intelligence nature regarding military, industrial, [00:24:04] transport infrastructure facilities in the Leningrad [00:24:07] region. For completing the task, they sent me monetary [00:24:11] rewards, they offered me to [00:24:13] blow up a relay cabinet on the Leningrad [00:24:16] railway.

[00:29:19] Russian military intelligence officers today celebrate their professional [00:29:22] holiday. Congratulations to servicemen and veterans were sent by Defense Minister [00:29:26] Andrei Belousov. The head of the department thanked them for their dedicated service and [00:29:30] noted that today, in the face of modern challenges, military intelligence officers [00:29:33] demonstrate high professionalism, exceptional courage and endurance, [00:29:37] and also successfully solve tasks during the special military [00:29:41] operation. Military intelligence officers of the Northern [00:29:45] group celebrate their professional holiday on the front line, in the Kharkiv direction [00:29:49] their task is to identify camouflaged enemy [00:29:52] positions. If the weather does not allow drones to work, then the fighters [00:29:56] themselves go into the enemy's rear. Alexander Korobov met with the intelligence [00:29:59] officers. [00:30:02] Every army wants to know everything about [00:30:05] positions, forces, and actions of the enemy. In this age of high [00:30:09] technology, one of the key intelligence tools is precisely [00:30:13] UAVs. The Northern Group's UAV crew [00:30:16] is preparing a brand new Z61 for flight. This [00:30:19] high-speed drone is designed for reconnaissance [00:30:23] in the near-middle zone. It was created on the principles of maximum [00:30:26] survivability in conditions of active air defense and REP [00:30:30] of the enemy. Everything on... [00:31:02] Our current task is to [00:31:05] monitor the territory so that [00:31:08] the enemy cannot break through, cannot pass [00:31:11] unnoticed immediately. [00:31:15] We report target detection, destroy them, and also, yes, [00:31:18] we adjust artillery, [00:31:20] a shot, [00:31:24] the artillerymen have already begun firing, the first shot [00:31:27] is a ranging shot, the operator of the reconnaissance UAV sees [00:31:31] the hit, thanks to aerial correction, subsequent shells [00:31:34] hit exactly on target, identifying such well- [00:31:37] camouflaged fortifications is helped by scouts already on [00:31:41] the ground. [00:31:45] While in transport, you need to turn your head 360 degrees, [00:31:47] because you never know from which side [00:31:51] danger may threaten, well, and you need to hold on tighter, [00:31:55] the roads, of course, are still those ones. The crews [00:31:59] are preparing for an important mission. These bags contain products [00:32:02] for our scouts who are currently working behind enemy lines. The parcels [00:32:06] will be delivered using [00:32:07] a drone. [00:32:12] The guys need to eat every day.
