[00:00:00] they weigh 6 tons, here we have the
[00:00:02] macrauchenia, the guanaco and here the
[00:00:05] mylodon and along with these animals lived people, the cave
[00:00:08] people and here in this room we have a photographic tribute
[00:00:12] exhibition to the indigenous people who lived here in
[00:00:15] Patagonia before the Europeans arrived.
[00:00:32] In the center of El Calafate on the main street, Avenida
[00:00:35] Libertador, is the famous national park which is an
[00:00:38] hour west of El Calafate. The National Park of the
[00:00:42] Glaciers when it was added to the UNESCO natural heritage list in
[00:00:46] 1981 it was the first monument in all of Argentina to
[00:00:49] be added to the UNESCO list. Here inside this historic house in
[00:00:53] the city center are the offices of the national park administration.
[00:00:56] This is Francisco Pascasio Moreno.
[00:01:00] He was an explorer who was born in 1852 and died in
[00:01:03] 1919 and from him the great glacier in the national
[00:01:06] park, the Perito Moreno glacier, takes half of its name.
[00:01:09] Here we have again the same scientist Moreno and from there
[00:01:13] we have the then president of Argentina in 1874 Nicolas
[00:01:16] Avellaneda. The Argentine government then ordered
[00:01:20] a team to be formed to study the Santa
[00:01:23] Cruz area.
[00:01:32] Basically this park is a large open-air museum, it has many
[00:01:36] exhibits outside in the garden.
[00:02:04] we are in La Esperanza in hope, it is
[00:02:07] the middle of our journey for today, here
[00:02:10] we refuel the car and continue even further
[00:02:13] east, we go to the largest city in the province of
[00:02:17] Santa Cruz, Río Gallegos.
[00:02:35] We arrived in the city of Río Gallegos, initially
[00:02:38] I thought it was called Río Gallegos, but it is read in
[00:02:41] Spanish, Río Gallegos, it is the largest
[00:02:44] city and capital of the province of Santa Cruz, it is
[00:02:48] also the southernmost city in
[00:02:50] continental Argentina, any city further south from here is not
[00:02:54] in continental Argentina, it is on an island, in Tierra del Fuego, Río
[00:02:58] Gallegos is one of those cities that is not very touristy, it is not
[00:03:02] the classic stop for those doing a road trip here in
[00:03:06] Patagonia, but we decided to come because it is bigger and because the
[00:03:09] schedule worked, that is, if you pass through here and want to go south,
[00:03:13] you will stay here, the Ríos in the name
[00:03:17] means river, the name of the city comes from the Gallegos
[00:03:20] River which is here, here are its estuaries and it flows into the Atlantic
[00:03:24] Ocean, it is one of the most important rivers in this region of
[00:03:27] Argentina, something that makes this particular city a city
[00:03:31] of significant strategic importance because it controls the exit to the
[00:03:34] Atlantic Ocean. Río Gallegos has a great naval tradition
[00:03:38] and you can see this in many historical monuments related to the
[00:03:42] sea, such as an old ship there, a historic submarine we saw
[00:03:45] a little further down coming here and of course the port with its piers which
[00:03:49] are located on the banks of the river. From there I also see a shipwreck, a ship that
[00:03:53] has run aground on the beach. Now to
[00:03:55] eat something. These are the rusks with garlic flavor from Kríton
[00:03:59] bread, crispy with a nice garlic
[00:04:02] aroma, ideal either for a quick snack on the road or
[00:04:06] to enrich your salad or to make a simple bruschetta with
[00:04:09] tomato, cheese or whatever else you have on the table, sometimes deliciousness
[00:04:12] is hidden in
[00:04:13] simplicity.
[00:04:19] they are
[00:04:24] delicious and just as crispy so you can eat them
[00:04:27] plain.
[00:04:31] Here is the beach of Río Gallegos, Spanish is good,
[00:04:35] I think after this trip to Latin America I will have learned a little
[00:04:38] better and will be able to pronounce the names more correctly.
[00:04:42] Let's go now to see the city center and find something to eat.
[00:04:57] Let's go eat something at a bakery. Vamos
[00:05:00] Argentina.
[00:05:05] It's a bakery.
[00:05:06] We
[00:05:14] got this to try, Torta Choclo, it's
[00:05:17] like an open pie, it's
[00:05:20] savory, choclo, choclo is corn, let's see what the torta
[00:05:23] choclo says,
[00:05:27] it's delicious and very filling.
[00:05:43] We are in the car, we continue our road trip in Patagonia
[00:05:46] and before we say goodbye to continental
[00:05:50] Argentina and cross the Strait of Magellan
[00:05:53] to go to Tierra del Fuego, we will go to see a
[00:05:57] very special cape, basically it is the southernmost
[00:06:01] tip of continental Argentina. We are going
[00:06:05] towards Cabo Vírgenes.
[00:06:07] It's like a desert, basically, it's the Patagonian steppe. Every now and then
[00:06:11] we see some sheep, but apart from that it's just
[00:06:13] us.
[00:06:16] When I tell you we're going on safari, you're making fun of me, we've seen
[00:06:19] ostriches, okay, sheep aren't safari, we have an open roof,
[00:06:23] we have a roof, we have everything, I think we're in Africa after all,
[00:06:27] we got a little confused, we wanted to go somewhere else and we came
[00:06:30] here.
[00:06:32] We also saw a fox, this is the Patagonian fox, the
[00:06:36] red one and now soon as we go
[00:06:39] we will hide it on our right the strait.
[00:06:43] and straight ahead the Atlantic
[00:06:44] Ocean.
[00:06:50] During this route, especially near the coast, there are
[00:06:53] large facilities of energy companies. Logically
[00:06:57] they are doing extractions here in the area.
[00:07:11] We arrived at the cape.
[00:07:15] It is the cape on the northern side of the Strait of Magellan right
[00:07:19] at its entrance, this is the Atlantic Ocean, here are the
[00:07:23] Chilean borders and here is the Gallegos
[00:07:26] River or rather Gallegos,
[00:07:29] there is a lighthouse here and a lighthouse here and here there are
[00:07:33] penguins.
[00:07:43] We are at the end of continental Argentina, at the
[00:07:46] end of the entire American continent which is divided in half by the
[00:07:50] Panama Canal, here is the end, beyond that cape is an
[00:07:54] archipelago, it's islands, it's Tierra del Fuego, we were here before in Río
[00:07:58] Gallegos, we came all the way here and this is the Strait of
[00:08:02] Magellan, Magellan entered the strait from there which passes
[00:08:05] to the other side to the Pacific Ocean, south from
[00:08:08] there, east from there, northeast towards there.
[00:08:14] Greece from here, and here is the lighthouse of Cabo Virgenes which has
[00:08:17] a small house next to it, whose roof is painted with the flag of Argentina.
[00:08:21] A black and white metal lighthouse 30 meters high that incredibly
[00:08:24] helps sailors who at night come from the
[00:08:28] Atlantic Ocean and are preparing to enter the Strait of Magellan. Okay,
[00:08:31] now that we are talking about GPS and all the new technologies, all these
[00:08:35] things have little value compared to the past, in the past such a
[00:08:39] lighthouse was a treasure. At the lighthouse, basically at the lighthouse keeper's house, there is also
[00:08:43] a model of an old Spanish ship from the 16th century, I like that
[00:08:46] we went inside the lighthouse, yes, it's amazing just to be able to go inside a
[00:08:50] lighthouse, at the lighthouse keeper's house, and here is the old lamp
[00:08:53] of the lighthouse, this lighthouse was built in
[00:08:56] 1904, it is 46 meters high
[00:08:59] and can be seen from 20 to 25 meters away, another
[00:09:03] end that we reach with our show, another beautiful
[00:09:07] lighthouse that we visit and show you through happy
[00:09:10] traveler.
[00:09:18] We open a door here to
[00:09:20] pass through,
[00:09:23] close the door so the
[00:09:25] penguins don't leave,
[00:09:29] here there are penguins shaped in the wave, generally in this area, you will
[00:09:33] see them everywhere, mostly on the beach, walking
[00:09:36] well in the middle of the road, is this possible, the area is full of
[00:09:39] penguins, it has a huge colony and it says that here. around there are a total of
[00:09:43] 150,000 penguins, okay, it's crazy, there are
[00:09:46] penguins everywhere, Electra, what is he doing, is he sleeping, what is he doing,
[00:09:50] he was standing and then he lay down,
[00:09:53] he got sleepy, hello, basically the one standing was also sleeping but
[00:09:57] he says, don't sleep standing up, now let me lie down
[00:10:00] a bit.
[00:10:03] We left the car in the parking lot and continue on foot, there is a path that
[00:10:07] goes to an observatory before we proceed to eat a
[00:10:11] beloved apple. A small wonderful firiki
[00:10:14] apple from Zagora of
[00:10:15] Pelion.
[00:10:30] Right and left, everywhere penguins with countless
[00:10:33] nests, these penguins, Magellanic penguins, are also called
[00:10:37] Patagonian penguins. They weigh about 3 kg
[00:10:40] and reach a height of up to 70 cm and here we
[00:10:44] came out to the coast, here is the beach which is also
[00:10:47] full of penguins.
[00:10:50] Here
[00:10:55] there is an observatory to go see the penguins and a
[00:10:58] penguin has come to the observatory, the whole area around is for the
[00:11:02] penguins, we are forbidden to go here it says no batar but
[00:11:06] sideways not to go to the
[00:11:07] beach.
[00:11:15] How close
[00:11:16] it is to us,
[00:11:23] we went to the beach. To the observatory that overlooks the
[00:11:27] beach, meanwhile where we are standing now there are penguins
[00:11:30] all around both on the beach side and on this side with the
[00:11:34] lambs, everywhere penguins
[00:11:50] and from this wonderful place at the tip of continental Argentina, at the tip of the
[00:11:53] American continent. Before crossing to the archipelago of
[00:11:57] Tierra del Fuego, accompanied by thousands of penguins, it's time to
[00:12:00] say goodbye and set our appointment for the next happy
[00:12:03] traveler, of course this road trip continues, we will go to Tierra
[00:12:07] del Fuego, we will go all the way south in Argentina,
[00:12:10] we will go to the southernmost city in the world, but you will see all this in the
[00:12:14] next happy traveler, for now be well, lots of kisses and remember
[00:12:18] that the most important luggage on every
[00:12:20] trip is our good mood. The
[00:12:46] Pepper experience takes you to Paris to
[00:12:49] see Duran Duran Live for four days for two people
[00:12:53] with all expenses paid. On a trip signed by
[00:12:57] Vlasopoulos Travel to win the next Pepper experience
[00:13:00] tune in to Pepper 96.
[00:13:17] And good evening, this is the main news bulletin of Sky Television and these are the
[00:13:20] most important events of today in headlines.
[00:13:24] Energy and Russia-Ukraine ceasefire announced by Trump, if
[00:13:28] Putin accepts a 60-day ceasefire, I will resign, says
[00:13:31] Zelensky. Dangerous escalation in the Middle East after the
[00:13:34] Houthi attack on Riyadh airport. Trump considers military
[00:13:38] involvement. Authorities see a settling of scores
[00:13:41] behind the brutal murder of a 50-year-old in Glyfada with a heavy
[00:13:45] criminal record, the victim. 11
[00:13:48] defendants for fraud against the EU before the investigator. The
[00:13:52] president of Laos and his accountants accuse each other.
[00:14:03] We will start our bulletin, ladies and gentlemen, with the dramatic developments on the
[00:14:07] Russian-Ukrainian front, as a little while ago Donald Trump announced
[00:14:11] that Kyiv and Moscow agreed to an energy
[00:14:14] ceasefire, even warning both sides not to
[00:14:17] violate it. Zelensky's proposal for a mutual
[00:14:20] cessation of attacks on energy facilities had preceded this. Meanwhile, the agreement between
[00:14:25] Trump and Putin for the supply of Russian diesel creates new friction
[00:14:29] in relations between Washington and Europe, as Europeans
[00:14:32] insist on maintaining sanctions against Moscow. We are following the
[00:14:36] developments with our colleagues, with the help of our colleagues Michalis
[00:14:39] Gnatíou from Washington, Dimitra Kyránoudi from Berlin, Yannis
[00:14:43] Chaniotakis from London and Louisa Krontiri from the newsroom.
[00:14:47] Good evening everyone, let's start,
[00:14:50] Louisa, from you, you have all the latest. In a post
[00:14:54] a little while ago on Truth Social, Donald Trump announced that Moscow
[00:14:57] and Kyiv have agreed not to attack energy
[00:15:00] infrastructure anymore. As he characteristically wrote, a ceasefire
[00:15:04] in the energy sector in the war between Russia and Ukraine is immediately
[00:15:07] effective and both sides have agreed and
[00:15:11] he concludes by strictly warning, do not violate it, but the situation
[00:15:15] remains blurred, as Volodymy Zelensky himself appears to have been
[00:15:18] caught off guard. Speaking to Axios, he stresses that Trump's
[00:15:22] announcement is something new to him, he adds.
[00:15:33] He says he discussed Trump's announcement with the Prime Minister of Canada, the President
[00:15:37] of and the Secretary General of NATO, noting that he is awaiting
[00:15:40] details from the American side. Zelensky also had a conversation with
[00:15:44] the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen,
[00:15:47] who also declares her support for Zelensky's request for a ceasefire,
[00:15:51] week the European Union will
[00:15:54] provide additional funding to Kyiv for drones and
[00:15:57] missiles. Earlier we also had Volodymyr
[00:16:01] Zelensky's first response to Trump's demand for a change
[00:16:04] of leadership in Ukraine. Responding to the critical comments.
[00:16:09] he stated in a television interview with ABC that he would call elections
[00:16:13] in Ukraine if Russian President Vladimir
[00:16:16] Putin agreed to a 60-day ceasefire,
[00:16:20] a proposal that the Ukrainian president has repeated in the past.
[00:16:23] Addressing Donald Trump, Zelensky stressed that it is up to the
[00:16:27] Ukrainian people to decide when and how they will vote and which leader
[00:16:30] they will choose, noting that the main issue is the existence of security
[00:16:34] infrastructure that will allow citizens to vote.
[00:16:39] And let's listen and watch, ladies and gentlemen, to the characteristic excerpt of Volodymyr
[00:16:42] Zelensky's statements. Tell Putin, give
[00:16:45] us two months, 60 days of
[00:16:49] total ceasefire, 60 days and we will organize
[00:16:53] elections. Of course, we will be ready for any
[00:16:57] choice of our people.
[00:17:00] The announcement of an energy ceasefire comes at a time
[00:17:03] of intense confrontation between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky.
[00:17:07] The American president has gone so far as to openly demand his
[00:17:10] replacement, we also saw Zelensky's own response,
[00:17:14] while the American president's actions regarding Russian oil cause reactions
[00:17:17] even within the Republican party.
[00:17:21] A full-frontal attack against is launched by the President of the United
[00:17:25] States who calls for a change of leadership in
[00:17:27] Ukraine.
[00:17:38] Ukraine's foreign minister rushed to support Volodymyr
[00:17:42] Zelensky. He has the support of the Ukrainian people. The
[00:17:45] statements from abroad simply confirm that he is
[00:17:49] doing his job well. In Moscow, Trump's statements
[00:17:52] are welcomed with satisfaction. President Trump sides with the many who
[00:17:56] believe that Ukraine needs a leadership that truly focuses on
[00:17:59] peace and not on Zelensky's warmongering stance. Just
[00:18:03] a few hours after the announcement of the Trump-Putin agreement on exports.
[00:18:28] Ukraine will be ready to stop attacking Russian oil
[00:18:31] refineries if Russia stops attacking our energy
[00:18:35] infrastructure, any steps.
[00:19:40] Trump's new statements come at a time when, according to information, the
[00:19:43] visit of the Wisner to Moscow within the next two
[00:19:47] weeks has been locked in. In the big picture now we go to
[00:19:51] Washington and Michalis Gnatiou. Michalis, we see Trump putting
[00:19:54] more and more pressure on Zelensky at the same time that
[00:19:58] he is entering into negotiations with Putin. It is a tough stance.
[00:20:01] I don't know how the American president's stance is explained and what
[00:20:05] he ultimately seeks from both sides.
[00:20:08] Yes, Christina, good evening, difficult, but we will
[00:20:11] try. As is well known, President Trump has
[00:20:15] serious problems, one of these problems is his
[00:20:18] tendency to succumb to authoritarian leaders,
[00:20:22] this fact troubles the entire system here, and especially the
[00:20:26] secret services, but he is the
[00:20:29] president, he decides and commands, this is not the
[00:20:33] first time, Christina, that he succumbs to Vladimir
[00:20:36] Putin, nor will it be the last, we saw the same with
[00:20:40] Erdogan, with the President of China and other authoritarian
[00:20:44] leaders. The fear of the secret services is
[00:20:47] that this, especially the authoritarian.
[00:20:54] and impose their views on him by exploiting his
[00:20:57] ego. The second big problem he faces is
[00:21:01] of course the midterm elections. He believes that
[00:21:04] if gasoline and oil prices fall, American citizens will be affected
[00:21:07] and will vote for Republican
[00:21:11] candidates. Analysts state that it is too late, although
[00:21:14] I believe there is time until November 3rd to influence
[00:21:18] voters.
[00:21:20] If one analyzes the way he speaks about
[00:21:24] Putin, one understands, Christina, the degree of his
[00:21:27] dependence on the authoritarian leader of
[00:21:30] Russia. However, he has gone so far as to speak out
[00:21:33] in favor of the perpetrator and against the victim. Russia
[00:21:37] invaded Ukraine.
[00:21:39] Your observation is absolutely correct. The same is said
[00:21:43] by American lawmakers, and indeed his own, from the Republican
[00:21:47] party. As mentioned in the video,
[00:21:50] Congressman Fits Patrick, who is
[00:21:52] co-chairman of the House Ukraine Caucus, announced
[00:21:56] plans to introduce a bill that would ban purchases of
[00:22:00] Russian oil and he is not the only one who
[00:22:04] complains. Other lawmakers, congressmen and
[00:22:08] senators speak of betrayal of Mr.
[00:22:11] Trump's friend, Senator Crapo, who
[00:22:15] died a few months ago and who had sponsored
[00:22:18] the sanctions bill against Russia, Christina, which is
[00:22:22] already the law of the
[00:22:25] land. Indeed. We will stay
[00:22:28] on this, we will meet again later, because we also have serious developments
[00:22:32] in the Middle East, but we remain on the reactions concerning
[00:22:35] Ukraine. Germany and Britain have
[00:22:38] made it clear that they will not relax sanctions against
[00:22:42] Russia, despite Washington's rapprochement with
[00:22:45] Moscow, and in both countries new revelations are
[00:22:49] coming to light. weeks, to
[00:23:03] remind you, targeting a Ukrainian transport
[00:23:06] aircraft.
[00:23:09] Specifically, in early August, Christina, according to a new
[00:23:12] investigation by Spiegel magazine and The
[00:23:15] Insider, behind the attack that the German
[00:23:19] government.
[00:23:23] It seems that the Russian SSD group is very specifically
[00:23:26] involved. This is the new sabotage
[00:23:28] unit, which is subordinate to the Russian
[00:23:32] military intelligence service. This particular
[00:23:35] service and unit are at the forefront of the
[00:23:39] hybrid warfare of Russia against
[00:23:42] Europe and according to the German
[00:23:45] authorities, it is possible that this particular
[00:23:49] group is part of a wider network of hybrid
[00:23:52] attacks in Europe. Christina, according to
[00:23:55] the information that is coming to light, the main suspect is
[00:23:59] a 54-year-old, with Latvian and Russian
[00:24:03] nationality, who is allegedly behind the
[00:24:06] planning of the attack on Leipzig
[00:24:09] airport, but also a second suspect, Andrey
[00:24:13] B., a citizen of Belarus and Russia who is also linked to
[00:24:16] an incendiary attack in Poland in
[00:24:20] 2024. Let's just remind you that the
[00:24:23] German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, spoke of an armed
[00:24:27] attack on German soil which was only averted at the
[00:24:31] last minute, thus endangering the security of Germany
[00:24:34] and the NATO alliance. Well, let's go to
[00:24:38] England, let's see what's happening in
[00:24:41] Britain, let's go to London and Yannis Chaniotakis, the government makes it
[00:24:45] clear in every way its support for Ukraine and
[00:24:48] Volodymyr Zelensky.
[00:24:52] Yes, London is once again sending a clear message of
[00:24:55] support both to Ukraine and to President
[00:24:59] Zelensky himself, with the country's defense minister stating
[00:25:02] today on the BBC
[00:25:05] that Putin is the one who
[00:25:09] started the war, he could end it tomorrow,
[00:25:12] however he chooses not to, and therefore Britain stands
[00:25:16] by Ukraine, the country's solidarity. The
[00:25:19] British Prime Minister Addi Bernam also expressed
[00:25:22] his solidarity, who had a telephone conversation with the Ukrainian
[00:25:26] president yesterday, to whom he made it clear that his
[00:25:29] country will continue to strengthen
[00:25:32] sanctions against Moscow and to take additional measures to
[00:25:36] limit the Russian war machine.
[00:25:39] The British Prime Minister was mentioned for another case of Russian
[00:25:43] interference, this time against the backdrop of the Brexit referendum in
[00:25:46] 2016 and the Prime Minister, for the
[00:25:49] first time, stated so clearly that there was
[00:25:52] Russian interference in the process.
[00:25:55] Yes, undoubtedly a very significant
[00:25:58] statement, Christina, as he became
[00:26:01] the first sitting Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to speak
[00:26:05] clearly about the Kremlin's involvement in perhaps the most
[00:26:09] important vote in the country's modern history. In an
[00:26:12] interview on the podcast "The Rest is Politics",
[00:26:15] Barnam revealed that when he crossed the threshold of Downing
[00:26:19] Street last summer, he directly asked officials
[00:26:23] if there had been Russian interference in the Brexit
[00:26:26] referendum and, as he revealed, he received the clear answer
[00:26:30] that there was. He
[00:26:33] himself asks for what the British authorities know to be clearly
[00:26:36] recorded, as all this is not only a threat
[00:26:40] to Germany, but also to other European
[00:26:43] democracies. Thank you all very much. So we have
[00:26:46] important developments that are linked, but we need
[00:26:50] to examine them separately. Konstantinos Filis is with us
[00:26:53] and let's see what the first case is. Good evening,
[00:26:56] Konstantine. Trump's announcement of an immediate energy ceasefire
[00:27:00] between Russia and Ukraine. Here
[00:27:02] we see that Zelensky was caught by surprise, but let's
[00:27:06] go to what this could mean in practice, such an
[00:27:09] agreement and how likely
[00:27:12] do you think it is to be upheld?
[00:27:15] I will not say coincidence, Christina, the agreement announced by President
[00:27:19] Trump from the announcement
[00:27:21] of the Nobel Prize just yesterday
[00:27:25] and I say this because he was deeply annoyed that he did not
[00:27:29] again receive the Nobel Peace Prize and... I believe
[00:27:33] that in his mind he somehow wanted to present one
[00:27:36] more agreement, having already spoken of eight that he has
[00:27:40] achieved, one more agreement which is very important for the
[00:27:44] United States, for Ukraine, for Russia and of course
[00:27:47] for the planet. I say this because in the past it has
[00:27:51] happened that President Trump announces agreements that have not
[00:27:55] been finalized, the technical details between the parties
[00:27:58] involved, or often announces agreements without them even
[00:28:01] having been achieved. Only to preempt the other parties, because
[00:28:05] when the President of the United States makes a public statement,
[00:28:08] you understand that this has consequences.
[00:28:11] Therefore, we really need to wait a few hours to
[00:28:14] see if, first, Ukraine and Russia have agreed, if
[00:28:18] second, this agreement can be upheld, we will have to wait a few days for
[00:28:21] that, because the only easy thing in the case of Russians and Ukrainians
[00:28:25] is for one side to accuse the other of violating the agreements and to
[00:28:29] continue again from where we were before.
[00:28:32] any ceasefire. Now let's go to the other Trump-Putin agreement for the
[00:28:36] supply of Russian diesel. What does this signify?
[00:28:39] Washington's approach to Moscow, we've seen it before, it's not
[00:28:43] the first time for Europe, however, which continues to insist on
[00:28:46] sanctions against Russia in every way, it says it in every way, it shouts it.
[00:28:50] What, however, is the conclusion at this moment or
[00:28:54] where we are, is the gap between the United States and
[00:28:57] Europe growing?
[00:29:00] First of all, let's say, Christina, the following: the quantities that
[00:29:04] President Trump announced for October and November, that they will flood the
[00:29:08] American market with Russian diesel, are 22 times
[00:29:11] larger than Russia's exports in September. So, Russia will have to
[00:29:15] export 22 times more diesel in one and
[00:29:19] two months respectively than it did in the past September.
[00:29:22] This is almost impossible, first of all. Secondly, Russia has
[00:29:26] a problem itself, we often see photos and
[00:29:29] images and videos with car queues where
[00:29:33] Russians are waiting with rationing, essentially, to buy oil, so
[00:29:36] it's not that easy to implement this agreement, even if
[00:29:40] we assume that there is good faith from both sides, and beyond that, of course, regarding
[00:29:44] the Europeans, let's keep two things in mind: first, President Trump continues
[00:29:48] to do as he pleases, to consult with Putin
[00:29:51] directly, or rather, to negotiate with Putin directly without consulting with the
[00:29:55] Europeans. Secondly, the Europeans are called to pay the price, and the price is
[00:29:58] very high, because by continuing the sanctions
[00:30:01] from a position of principle, which is why they do it mainly, they will
[00:30:05] pay more for energy than the United States, in case, of course, the
[00:30:09] Americans start importing Russian
[00:30:12] diesel. And of course, once again, we see President
[00:30:16] Trump leaving Russia, sorry, Ukraine exposed, let's leave
[00:30:19] Zelensky aside, because and I'll conclude with this, if Russia indeed
[00:30:23] secures these funds from the United States, it will be able to pour
[00:30:27] more money into the war it is waging against Ukraine, something that will
[00:30:31] oblige the Europeans to give even more money for
[00:30:35] Ukraine's defense. Thank you very much, Constantine, for the
[00:30:38] analysis. In the Middle East, in the other major war front, the
[00:30:42] developments intensify global concern for a generalized
[00:30:45] conflagration, the deadly missile attack.
