[00:00:00] From Monday to Thursday at 9:15 and 20:50. DNR
[00:01:00] liberation. Here, nearby, an enemy
[00:01:04] 120-millimeter mortar was operating. Well, the crew itself, Vyshushnikov,
[00:01:08] lived in this house, now they are certainly not
[00:01:11] here. Together with units of the southern group
[00:01:14] of forces, our military correspondent Igor Lappik is working in this direction.
[00:01:17] Student
[00:01:21] protests in Europe are spreading to new countries, now
[00:01:24] Belgium, Italy, and
[00:01:26] Romania are in a fever.
[00:01:52] the road for the infantry. Today, the details of the liberation
[00:01:56] of Annapolya in the Kharkiv region became known. The settlement came
[00:01:59] under our control last Thursday. The "North" group of forces entered
[00:02:02] there. Before the assault, artillerymen suppressed enemy firing
[00:02:06] points.
[00:02:09] Shot!
[00:02:13] Well, and drone operators rammed Ukrainian equipment to
[00:02:17] cover the assault troops.
[00:02:20] When the enemy already, how to say, still
[00:02:23] starts shooting until the last bullet, one can
[00:02:26] say, when we send... two
[00:02:30] or three shells from the RPO, well, colloquially
[00:02:33] "Shmels", then almost immediately they
[00:02:36] surrender and almost
[00:02:40] without a fight this point is taken.
[00:02:43] Thanks to the liberation of Anapolya, the northerners were able to take control of the
[00:02:47] Old Saltov - Podsrednee highway and cut off the supply of weapons for
[00:02:51] the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region. Well, these
[00:02:53] are shots of the work of tank crews of the same group of forces already in the Sumy
[00:02:57] region, the crew of a modernized T-80
[00:03:00] destroyed a disguised group transporting ammunition for Ukrainian
[00:03:04] militants.
[00:03:10] The tank crews fired from a distance of 9 km, despite such
[00:03:14] a long distance, the hit rate was
[00:03:15] 100%.
[00:03:19] Russian soldiers repelled an enemy counterattack near
[00:03:22] Druzhkovka. An enemy sabotage group tried
[00:03:25] to secretly approach the city, but our scouts
[00:03:28] noticed it in time.
[00:05:00] lead to their colleagues from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is important to leave
[00:05:03] the enemy without eyes in the sky and cut off their strike drones,
[00:05:07] because all the work at the front line for the nationalists is done by
[00:05:10] drone operators. In addition to the point. In UAV control, manpower
[00:05:14] in shelters, basements, and dugouts is actively destroyed.
[00:05:17] Rarely, but roving mortars
[00:05:20] of the enemy are encountered. An enemy 120-millimeter
[00:05:24] mortar was operating near here, and the crew
[00:05:28] of VSU soldiers lived in this house. Now they
[00:05:31] are certainly not here, and their presence is reminded by these
[00:05:35] mines, of which there are many scattered
[00:05:38] everywhere. Artillerymen of the southern grouping inflict pinpoint
[00:05:41] strikes on... nationalist positions in the Kramatorsk district. On the eve of
[00:05:45] large-caliber shells, three militant shelters in
[00:05:49] Druzhkovka were hit. They were hiding in dilapidated private
[00:05:52] houses. The Russian army is gradually taking Druzhkovka from the south
[00:05:56] in a wide sweep. The storming of the city is part of a large offensive
[00:05:59] operation to liberate Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. According to the summary
[00:06:03] of the Ministry of Defense, strikes are now being carried out in the areas of Nikolaevka,
[00:06:06] Belenkoye, Semenovka, and Krasny Molochyar. Our
[00:06:10] troops have one more
[00:06:42] to liberate. They hit an oil depot, after which a large fire broke out on the site. A
[00:06:46] vessel was hit during the sea crossing; it was delivering military cargo
[00:06:49] to the port of Odessa. Well, in addition, four
[00:06:53] locomotives in different regions of Ukraine became targets. As reported
[00:06:56] by the Ministry of Defense, these trains were used in the interests
[00:06:59] of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
[00:07:02] Russia is ready for a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis and is open to
[00:07:05] dialogue. At the same time, Donald Trump announced the entry into force of the so-called
[00:07:09] energy truce between Moscow
[00:07:12] and Kyiv. According to the American president, the parties agreed
[00:07:16] to cease mutual strikes on fuel infrastructure. Also,
[00:07:19] Washington is calling for a change of power in Kyiv. Earlier, Trump
[00:07:23] stated that it was time for Ukraine to choose a new president
[00:07:26] capable of negotiating. For Kyiv, the statement of the American leader came
[00:07:30] as a surprise. Zelensky immediately tried to put forward his own
[00:07:34] conditions. The head of the Kyiv regime announced his readiness for a pause in
[00:07:37] strikes and to hold elections only in the event of a full
[00:07:40] sixty-day ceasefire.
[00:08:46] The US concluded a diesel deal to stabilize prices in the American and
[00:08:50] global markets. Washington and Moscow agreed on an initial
[00:08:53] supply of over 3,000 tons of diesel with further
[00:08:56] increases in volume. For this, the US Treasury partially lifted
[00:09:00] sanctions against the Russian fuel sector. Zelensky called these agreements
[00:09:03] an obvious weakness of Washington, which
[00:09:06] caused a sharp reaction from
[00:09:08] Trump.
[00:10:55] will not allow the transit of weapons through its territory, Peter Magyar said in an interview with a Finnish
[00:10:59] publication. In addition, the Hungarian
[00:11:02] prime minister spoke out against Ukraine's accelerated entry into
[00:11:05] the European Union. He stressed that Kyiv is obliged to go through all stages
[00:11:09] without exception. In Hungary, a nationwide
[00:11:13] referendum will be held on the issue of Ukraine's membership in the European Union. Earlier, Budapest
[00:11:17] blocked the construction of oil storage facilities for the needs of the Kyiv
[00:11:20] regime.
[00:11:23] Brussels after Paris.
[00:11:35] improve learning conditions. Criticism of foreign policy
[00:11:39] is heard at rallies. Peaceful actions quickly escalated into
[00:11:42] mass unrest. Protesters build
[00:11:45] barricades, launch smoke bombs and burn
[00:11:48] tires.
[00:11:58] In response, the police use water cannons and arrest
[00:12:01] protesters. Protests are also sweeping other European countries.
[00:12:05] The streets of Rome are ablaze. Here, students began seizing buildings and
[00:12:09] demanding that money be sent to schools, not to war. And in Bucharest,
[00:12:12] the streets were filled with opposition supporters and teachers protesting against
[00:12:16] payment delays and reforms.
[00:12:20] The international airport in Verniyade is closed due to shelling by
[00:12:24] Houthi rebels. In the result of another strike, a Pakistani
[00:12:27] citizen died. 11 people were injured. A day earlier,
[00:12:31] a rocket hit the passenger terminal building. A
[00:12:35] fire started at the airport.
[00:12:41] 12 people died, more than 300 were injured. According to our MFA,
[00:12:45] there are no Russians among the wounded. Responsibility for the attacks is laid
[00:12:48] on Yemen. In response, Saudi Arabia launched air strikes on
[00:12:52] the infrastructure of the Houthi-controlled international
[00:12:55] airport in Sanaa. At the same time, the situation in the Persian
[00:12:58] Gulf escalated. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced
[00:13:02] the undermining of a supertanker by a naval mine
[00:13:06] in the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz. A fire broke out on board
[00:13:09] the vessel.
[00:14:56] And for now, that's all for me. More news on the Zvezda News channel, stay with us, stay
[00:15:00] informed about events, remember that all set goals will be
[00:15:03] achieved. Maria Grigorieva was with you, see you next time.
[00:15:31] Honestly, I want to thank President Putin, huge volumes of oil
[00:15:35] will flow into our country, and we are talking about diesel
[00:15:38] fuel, and that is exactly what we need now, so
[00:15:42] thank you. Well, what can I say, the diesel deal between Moscow and
[00:15:45] Washington is the number one topic now for the world
[00:15:49] media, we will definitely return to it and delve into it fully. With
[00:15:53] you is "Open Air" in the studio, Denis Kachanov and Nikolay Matveev.
[00:15:56] Let's immediately move on to the main topic. Reuters writes: this
[00:16:00] unprecedented decision is being made against the backdrop of US sanctions
[00:16:04] against Russian energy companies,
[00:16:07] introduced in February 2022. Nevertheless, on Friday, the US
[00:16:11] Treasury Department issued a general license
[00:16:14] authorizing the import of Russian diesel fuel until
[00:16:17] April 7 of next year. Well, and the French
[00:16:20] publication sadly states. Quote:
[00:16:24] The Kremlin came to the aid of the White House. The US President
[00:16:27] congratulated himself on convincing Vladimir Putin to release up to
[00:16:31] 4.8 million tons of diesel fuel
[00:16:34] to world markets. Donald Trump has already ensured that
[00:16:37] European countries have activated their strategic fuel reserves
[00:16:41] to reduce pressure on world markets. What about Europe in the meantime?
[00:16:44] There's Kaja Kallas. Where would we be without
[00:16:48] her? Here's what she writes on her social network X page. Quote:
[00:16:52] Lifting sanctions on Russian diesel fuel will allow Moscow
[00:16:56] to earn more profit. Now is not the time to ease
[00:16:59] pressure on Russia, and Europe will not do that. On
[00:17:02] Monday, EU foreign ministers are gathering to adopt the largest
[00:17:06] package of sanctions since the beginning of the conflict, aimed against
[00:17:09] the Russian military-industrial complex. Well, while it seems that in Europe,
[00:17:13] they were converting tons into barrels, trying to calculate who
[00:17:16] would earn how much, Donald Trump slammed Zelensky,
[00:17:20] here's what he said. I think it's time for Ukraine
[00:17:23] to get a new president. I suggest they
[00:17:26] find a new leader who can make a deal, because he,
[00:17:30] Zelensky, could have made many agreements, but for some reason
[00:17:34] he never did. If only you knew what happened on Saturday
[00:17:38] after Trump made this statement, it happened precisely in
[00:17:41] Kyiv, where they started calling all European leaders in all possible ways
[00:17:45] to report immediately, they called this one, he supports me,
[00:17:48] they called that one, she supports me, well, that's
[00:17:51] unconvincing, unconvincing, yes, well, when you
[00:17:55] get hit in the face, and you're like, this one didn't hit me, that's
[00:17:59] how it works, apparently, US President Donald Trump decided to conclude a diesel
[00:18:03] deal with Russia after Zelensky ignored about
[00:18:06] six requests.
[00:18:21] after the announcement of the deal, he admitted that he was stunned by this decision, he
[00:18:24] called the agreement unfair and dishonest, end
[00:18:27] quote: well, the Ukrainian delegation prematurely left
[00:18:30] negotiations with Stephen Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Miami after
[00:18:34] reports of the US-Russia diesel deal, the Financial Times reports.
[00:18:38] In addition, according to the publication, Witkoff and
[00:18:42] Kushner warned Kyiv about the cessation of intelligence
[00:18:45] data transfer if the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to strike
[00:18:48] Russian oil refineries. Dmitry Evstafiev
[00:18:51] is closely following the events, we invite the authors to the main hero's chair,
[00:18:55] colleagues, let's support them with applause,
[00:18:56] watch.
[00:18:59] How will the EU countries behave, having just adopted the twenty-second
[00:19:03] sanctions package and effectively financed a new wave of
[00:19:06] escalation from Zelensky's side? They are unlikely
[00:19:09] to quickly adapt to the new situation, at least most
[00:19:13] of them, especially considering the internal
[00:19:16] situation in the largest European countries. It is now
[00:19:20] that new rules of the game are being written for the global oil and, more broadly,
[00:19:23] hydrocarbon market. And Trump, not necessarily as US
[00:19:27] president, can be one of those who will have a decisive
[00:19:31] voice in their determination. By making an oil maneuver, Trump
[00:19:35] gained a serious competitive advantage in the aggravated
[00:19:38] relations with the EU, and it cannot be covered by stormy and prolonged
[00:19:42] applause in the European Parliament for
[00:19:44] anti-Trump speeches. Trump, of course, confirmed his
[00:19:48] reputation as a person capable of extraordinary actions in a critical
[00:19:51] situation for himself. The question is rather different,
[00:19:55] namely, how far Trump is capable of turning such one-off
[00:19:58] extraordinary actions into a major
[00:20:01] geoeconomic and geopolitical reversal.
[00:20:04] Denis, well, the Trump administration is watching an open broadcast... weak
[00:20:37] and most importantly, of course, Trump's rhetoric that
[00:20:41] Zelensky needs to be replaced, what will all this lead
[00:20:44] to? Well, these are actually three different questions,
[00:20:48] so. And Trump's
[00:20:52] mastery as a political manipulator and generally as
[00:20:55] one of the best masters of modern set design
[00:20:59] in the world for political stage settings, first of all, well,
[00:21:02] what can I say, a showman, it consisted precisely in bringing these three
[00:21:06] completely different questions, as it were, together in
[00:21:09] one point, so to speak, in one place,
[00:21:13] at one time. Well, the first question is, what is the real
[00:21:17] situation in the diesel market in the United States?
[00:22:20] It must be stated that Trump, Trump
[00:22:24] personally and America, but America facultatively, but most importantly
[00:22:27] Trump personally is not to blame for the current crisis in the global
[00:22:31] oil market, this is not because,
[00:22:34] probably, there was a war with Iran, and the Strait of
[00:22:37] Hormuz is blocked or not blocked, but nevertheless, just yesterday, three
[00:22:41] million-ton tankers blew up, this is probably not because of that, it
[00:22:44] is exclusively because Zelensky is hitting
[00:22:48] oil refineries, yes, that's
[00:22:51] Trump, he brought all
[00:22:55] this together in one place at one time, but the question here is
[00:22:58] different, the question here is, how far can Trump
[00:23:01] really go in this deal? The fact that he will
[00:23:05] eventually back out, I think no one
[00:23:07] doubts, yes, but how far? Because this
[00:23:11] deal for Trump is a milestone, or
[00:23:15] does he at least partially fulfill it, or does he
[00:23:18] solidify his reputation.
[00:24:50] is already getting a new configuration. He knows perfectly well how
[00:24:53] to adjust the routes without his drones, so
[00:24:57] that they acquire, that is, let's fix this: Trump and
[00:25:00] company are now demonstrating alleged
[00:25:03] dissatisfaction with what Zelensky is doing, and in
[00:25:07] fact, in a military sense, they are strengthening support, yes, well,
[00:25:10] it is already strengthened, it is already
[00:25:13] strengthened, now he is afraid to do anything, because
[00:25:16] the Democrats are against him,
[00:25:50] in the event that the US makes
[00:25:52] a decision as a state, that is, at the level of internal
[00:25:56] consensus, that they are withdrawing from the Ukrainian conflict on their own
[00:25:59] terms, for example, by negotiating with themselves.
[00:26:32] She says, she says that a certain environment
[00:26:35] is being created where the economic factor becomes
[00:26:39] dominant. Everything that the respected speaker absolutely correctly
[00:26:42] said is elements of action
[00:26:45] precisely in this environment. What about the questions
[00:26:48] related to Trump being forced to go, the question discusses
[00:26:52] that he is forced to make deals, questions related to
[00:26:56] what, yes, and Europe will eventually come to the point where it will be forced to make a
[00:26:59] deal with Russia. All those critics who... related to the fact
[00:27:03] that Russia is silent, Russia does not respond, this is the result of this
[00:27:06] political sociology from the point of view of the environment, what is
[00:27:09] happening now. I think there might be an instant shutdown,
[00:27:13] if, if suddenly there is a demonstrative destruction of a tanker with
[00:27:17] diesel for America, this is quite real, and it could be
[00:27:21] like that, that is,
[00:27:22] Alexander, two Alexanders were specially
[00:27:26] seated next to each other so that they would get lost every time we addressed
[00:27:29] them, yes, please, I will just remind you. Two
[00:27:33] circumstances, the first circumstance is the words of Scott Bessent, the Minister
[00:27:36] of Finance, regarding the hypocrisy of Europe, which continues to export
[00:27:40] through third countries, to import through third countries Russian energy carriers,
[00:27:44] which indicates that America is well aware of what is happening in Europe and
[00:27:47] how Europe, in fact, that is, how this mechanism
[00:27:51] works,
[00:27:54] this is an argument for Bessent, and therefore for Trump, who will accordingly operate,
[00:27:58] the second is the words of Dmitry Peskov regarding the non-public
[00:28:01] part of the negotiations.
[00:28:32] States, it's not about dumping an asset called
[00:28:35] Ukraine. The meaning of politics is to regain
[00:28:39] control over it, control taken from the British and
[00:28:42] the Europeans. But as it happens with Trump, he wants to
[00:28:46] stitch a little more, that is, to earn a little more money, and
[00:28:49] here the meaning is not that he is even forced or not
[00:28:52] forced, and some indirect measures.
[00:28:55] The meaning is that he took and changed the rules of the game in
[00:28:59] the market, he dictates them, and Europe...
[00:29:03] I can't help but comment, I can't help myself, and
[00:29:07] unexpectedly, quite unexpectedly - in
[00:29:09] Washington they learned that Zelensky
[00:29:11] is illegitimate,
[00:29:14] the call to hold elections, he could have held them many times, he must
[00:29:18] resign, right, well, in plain Russian, and
[00:29:21] Trump knows how to speak in plain Russian, it sounds like,
[00:29:24] he is illegitimate, why force elections to be held, if he
[00:29:28] is illegitimate, why negotiate with him on equal terms at all?
[00:30:02] I would like to provide a little information for context, I have prepared
[00:30:06] graphs, please can we have them on screen, daily balance
[00:30:09] of diesel fuel in the USA, no, another one, please,
[00:30:12] first let's figure out how much diesel the United
[00:30:16] States consumes, another graph, can we have the next one,
[00:30:19] and the daily balance of diesel fuel in the USA, so approximately 5
[00:30:23] billion barrels, now let's move to this graph, 5 billion
[00:30:26] barrels
[00:30:29] are produced by the USA with the help of its oil refineries, and one.
