[00:00:24] News on Zvezda in the studio Mikhail Reshetov. Hello.
[00:00:27] Units of the North Group of Forces inflicted. Russian
[00:00:36] attack aircraft are moving towards the regional
[00:00:40] center, fierce fighting is taking place in the area of the settlement of
[00:00:43] Velikaya Rybitsa. Earlier in the same sector, our military took control of
[00:00:47] the village of Borilovka. They attacked it from several
[00:00:50] directions at once. Previously, reconnaissance calculated the location of the main
[00:00:54] firing points of the strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And the attack aircraft practiced
[00:00:58] the details of the operation at the training ground.
[00:01:19] Based on these reconnaissance data, assault groups practiced their assigned tasks at the training ground near the LBS. After the destruction of artillery
[00:01:22] and strike drones of the main points, our assault
[00:01:26] groups, using the terrain entered the settlement.
[00:01:31] At these moments, in Borilovka, the fighters of the North continue to clear and also conduct
[00:01:34] demining of the territory, thanks to the liberation of this settlement,
[00:01:38] the Russian military created conditions for further advance in the Sumy
[00:01:42] region and the expansion of the buffer zone near our
[00:01:44] border.
[00:01:46] In the same area, our UAV operators destroyed a stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
[00:01:50] Reconnaissance detected the movement of vehicles and robotic complexes,
[00:01:54] tracked their path to the final point where the militants were located,
[00:01:57] after which they were struck with the help of... PV drones, to open
[00:02:01] dugouts, they were specially equipped with a cumulative high-explosive fragmentation warhead,
[00:02:05] several units of equipment and manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed.
[00:02:09] Significant advance of Russian troops
[00:02:11] in Zaporizhzhia region, with small assault groups, Eastern fighters
[00:02:14] found weak points in the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and infiltrated
[00:02:18] several sections of the front to a total depth of 19
[00:02:22] km. In the section from Amelnik to Malaya Takmachka,
[00:02:25] all counterattacks of the militants were blocked
[00:02:28] on...
[00:02:37] city, destroy pickups, transport with trailers and keep supply
[00:02:41] routes under fire control, the entire spectrum of
[00:02:44] UAVs in the sky, from strike drones to nimble FPVs of various
[00:02:47] modifications. One crew launches about two dozen
[00:02:51] drones per shift. Scarce forest plantations and open steppe
[00:02:54] landscapes of the Orekhovsky direction leave
[00:02:56] the enemy no chance for cover. A separate hunt is being conducted.
[00:03:30] calculated, tracking the delivery of ammunition, after striking,
[00:03:33] our attack aircraft were able to advance and occupy more advantageous
[00:03:37] positions.
[00:03:40] In the Dnepropetrovsk direction, the area of deployment of Ukrainian Armed Forces units
[00:03:44] was covered by a deadly Grad. The enemy equipped its positions in
[00:03:47] semi-destroyed buildings. The location of the militants was calculated by
[00:03:50] aerial reconnaissance, after which the coordinates were transmitted to the crew
[00:03:54] of the multiple launch rocket system of the Center group of forces.
[00:03:57] The MLRS quickly advanced to the firing position and fired
[00:04:01] a salvo of 122 mm
[00:04:03] shells.
[00:04:10] Also in the Dnepropetrovsk direction, intense aerial
[00:04:13] battles are underway. Our military shot down dozens of Ukrainian Armed Forces strike UAVs with the help of
[00:04:17] special F-1 interceptor drones. This is a fixed-wing
[00:04:21] drone with a special V-shaped tail. It provides good
[00:04:24] aerodynamics and stability in the sky. The drone is capable of reaching
[00:04:28] speeds of up to 270.
[00:04:33] 62 ground robotic complexes and 34 Ukrainian Armed Forces drone control
[00:04:36] points were hit by units of the Southern
[00:04:39] group. One of the objects was located in
[00:04:42] Druzhkivka. From this point, the enemy launched
[00:04:45] R-18 drones. The system of trenches connected several
[00:04:48] shelters. They were struck by D-30 howitzers. And Russian UAVs were directed
[00:04:52] to neighboring dugouts where Ukrainian weapons were stored.
[00:04:56] All targets were successfully destroyed. Our next release is at eight, all
[00:05:01] set goals will be achieved, see you soon.

[00:09:23] Alexey Samolotov.
[00:09:25] Good
[00:09:34] morning, friends, the Russia-Africa summit has just ended
[00:09:38] in Moscow, and the military West is already
[00:09:40] agitated. African countries are rearming
[00:09:44] with modern Russian military equipment, and with
[00:09:47] specific models that are created taking into account the experience
[00:09:51] of the SVO, in addition to drones and heavy equipment, the discussion primarily
[00:09:54] concerns, of course, aviation. The first
[00:09:57] African state that paid the most attention to our
[00:10:01] fighters and bombers was Algeria. The first contract
[00:10:05] was concluded for the supply of Su-35 in the 4++ version,
[00:10:08] followed by front-line Su-34M bombers,
[00:10:12] then a contract was concluded for the supply of our
[00:10:15] fifth-generation Su-57 fighters.
[00:10:18] As a result, Algeria became the first country that
[00:10:22] acquired and put these
[00:10:25] machines into service. The contract for the Su-57 with fifth-generation
[00:10:28] Al-41F-1S engines
[00:10:31] with variable thrust vector
[00:10:33] was signed two years ago. Before this, there was a thorough analysis
[00:10:37] of the combat use and effectiveness of the Su-57, primarily,
[00:10:40] in addition to its super maneuverability, its
[00:10:44] real stealth characteristics were evaluated.
[00:10:47] Participating in the SVO, it was never detected by either European or
[00:10:51] American radars used by Ukraine. The biggest difficulty for our
[00:10:54] designers was the unification of the systems
[00:10:58] of all three aircraft, which gained the ability
[00:11:01] to exchange information. The next
[00:11:04] country that also preferred our
[00:11:07] aviation complexes was Ethiopia. And again,
[00:11:10] the Su-35, proven in combat conditions, with super maneuverability
[00:11:14] and weapon systems. The contract was also
[00:11:17] concluded taking into account combat experience and assessment of
[00:11:21] effectiveness and quality. The most unexpected for everyone was
[00:11:25] that Russia delivered the ordered aircraft to Ethiopia
[00:11:28] a year ahead of schedule. The Su-35 became a continuation
[00:11:32] of the line of heavy Su-27 fighters, which have been in service
[00:11:35] with the Ethiopian Air Force since the nineties.
[00:11:39] These machines performed very well in aerial battles
[00:11:43] with neighboring Eritrea. On the other hand, the Su-35, in
[00:11:47] the 4+ version, significantly expands the combat
[00:11:50] capabilities of the Ethiopian Air Force.
[00:11:54] Today's, as it is now fashionable to say, deal
[00:11:57] is a continuation of purchases that began two years ago, of Russian
[00:12:01] Su-30 fighters. These two-seat combat aircraft,
[00:12:05] in addition to combat use, can be used to train
[00:12:08] pilots and train Su-35 crews.
[00:12:11] Well, in addition to the aircraft that will form the basis of the Ethiopian
[00:12:15] Air Force, Ethiopia
[00:12:18] also ordered from us S-400
[00:12:21] anti-aircraft missile systems to counter
[00:12:25] any aerial threats, in general, as practice shows,
[00:12:28] those countries for which security is the main
[00:12:31] argument, bet on battle-tested and
[00:12:35] combat-proven equipment, and Russia in
[00:12:38] the global competition of meanings, and not
[00:12:41] ambitions, today clearly comes out on top, colleagues, Alexey,
[00:12:45] thank you, we are waiting for you as always in an hour, well, then Roman
[00:12:48] Chukin will tell what the world media is writing about.
[00:12:51] сми.
[00:13:02] Norwegian Prime Minister Støre spoke this summer in Oslo
[00:13:06] with a former high-ranking Russian official, Bloomberg reports.
[00:13:09] According to the publication, Støre and Finnish
[00:13:13] President Stubb behind the scenes prepared the ground
[00:13:17] for European countries to join
[00:13:20] negotiations on Ukraine. The leaders of the two countries have been connected
[00:13:24] for twenty years.
[00:13:31] in Germany, frequent changes of prime ministers in Britain,
[00:13:35] the worsening of relations between Trump and
[00:13:38] Meloni, Støre and Stubb could become one of
[00:13:41] the realistic options for dialogue with Moscow, the publication
[00:13:45] notes. The endless cruise came to
[00:13:48] an end, the company that, after Trump's victory in the 2024
[00:13:51] election, offered dissatisfied Americans
[00:13:55] to wait out his rule on board the liner, was on the verge
[00:13:58] of bankruptcy. Due to rising fuel costs, last
[00:14:02] week passengers were disembarked in Cambodia, given only
[00:14:05] 8 hours to pack. And yet, for the sake of this
[00:14:08] trip, some sold their homes,
[00:14:12] those disembarked were only paid for temporary
[00:14:15] housing and transport.
[00:14:18] That's what it means when diesel is not delivered to the gas station. And sometimes
[00:14:22] because of this, people lose half a million dollars. At least that's how much a two-person
[00:14:26] cabin cost, but nothing is endless, everything
[00:14:29] eventually ends. Well, now let's try to put ourselves in the place of
[00:14:33] residents of another continent. For centuries, bandits there kidnapped
[00:14:36] people, sold them into slavery, settled on foreign lands,
[00:14:40] mutilated local children, robbed the population, destroyed forests,
[00:14:43] polluted rivers, and then these bandits announce that they
[00:14:47] are now a flourishing garden, and may apologize to the jungle,
[00:14:51] but there can be no talk of any
[00:14:54] compensation. This is how Western countries talk to Africa today,
[00:14:57] from all of Europe only Russia is an exception
[00:15:01] for Africa. Last week, leaders of almost all
[00:15:05] African countries came to Moscow and talked about real issues: grain,
[00:15:08] nuclear power plants and debts that
[00:15:12] are stifling an entire continent. About why we hold the Russia-Africa
[00:15:16] summits, let's talk with the head of the business community
[00:15:19] of the Nigerian diaspora in Russia, UV Edimo Friday
[00:15:23] Sampson.
[00:16:07] everything is not very good, and he wonders
[00:16:10] that - much
[00:16:13] more than they, so to speak, it's just a matter of
[00:16:17] expectations, it's hard to generalize, but still tell me,
[00:16:21] why Russia and Africa, and Africa,
[00:16:24] Russia, well, Africa, so to speak, these are
[00:16:27] continents that have already gone through
[00:16:31] через
[00:16:33] slave trade, gone through
[00:16:36] exploitation. of natural resources and so on,
[00:16:40] yes, now Africa is going through
[00:16:43] debt dependence, that is,
[00:16:46] Europe buys up debt, China buys up
[00:16:50] debt, and Africa, so to speak, is looking for
[00:16:53] a way to get out of this, so to speak, vicious
[00:16:57] circle, and Russia can
[00:17:01] be one of the ways to
[00:17:04] get out of this vicious circle, this is already the third Russia-Africa
[00:17:08] summit, so after the first two, has anything changed
[00:17:12] in Africa, in particular? Ah, this
[00:17:16] question has several aspects, right,
[00:17:18] for example, if we look at the first Russia-Africa summit,
[00:17:22] which was in 2019,
[00:17:26] I then think that there was no
[00:17:28] understanding of what Russia wants from Africa and what Africa wants from
[00:17:32] Russia, that is, especially entrepreneurs, right, they just
[00:17:36] wanted to sell.
[00:18:37] It's worth remembering where it all began. The Netherlands, and then
[00:18:41] Britain, got rich on the so-called triangular
[00:18:44] trade on this continent. It was it that became
[00:18:47] the main sponsor of the English Industrial Revolution and eventually allowed
[00:18:51] Great Britain at the turn of the seventeenth and sixteenth centuries to become
[00:18:55] the most developed country in the world. Why triangular? Because
[00:18:59] its trade routes drew exactly this
[00:19:02] figure on the map. Ships sailed from Europe to Africa, from there across the ocean
[00:19:05] to America, and then back to Europe, as historians later
[00:19:09] called this scheme. It sounds solid, but in reality it
[00:19:13] was a machine that for centuries ground down an entire continent.
[00:19:17] European ships carried fabrics, rum, and cheap
[00:19:20] trinkets to Africa, where they were exchanged for slaves, who were transported to
[00:19:23] America. With the money from the sale of slaves, sugar,
[00:19:27] cotton, and tobacco were bought, which were then sold in Europe at triple the price.
[00:19:30] Meanwhile, Africa lost millions of people, and even after
[00:19:34] the abolition of slavery, colonial powers continued for decades
[00:19:37] to drain resources from the continent. And what
[00:19:41] African countries do you think European colonizers
[00:19:44] robbed the most and in general is it possible to at least approximately
[00:19:48] calculate the amount of this damage?
[00:19:51] I want to say that - even those who
[00:19:54] participated in this, right, they themselves won't say how much
[00:19:57] there, what volume, because no one ever recorded
[00:20:01] it, uh-huh, and well,
[00:20:04] what happened then, it was probably the rule of
[00:20:07] that time, it doesn't mean that it was right, it's completely wrong, but
[00:20:11] it was the rule of that time, that is, that's how they saw how they
[00:20:15] could engage in so-called
[00:20:18] entrepreneurship, earn money, for example, right, because in
[00:20:21] principle, everything lies there, and belongs to no one,
[00:20:25] they came, so to speak, they chose, as they could, as they wanted,
[00:20:28] because no one could create any obstacles for them at that time,
[00:20:31] so to speak, well, and we
[00:20:34] still have such a...
[00:20:50] are now affecting the economy of the continent,
[00:20:53] well, debt is always a big
[00:20:55] burden,
[00:20:58] and I think that the real cost of this
[00:21:02] debt is much less than what
[00:21:04] is declared, but since, so to speak,
[00:21:08] African countries
[00:21:10] they earn from
[00:21:13] the sale of natural resources,
[00:21:16] and the revenue from the sale and...
[00:22:20] Yes, but no one will be able to pay this debt anyway, because the
[00:22:23] income is less than the debt that
[00:22:26] hangs over them, it turns out that Africa
[00:22:30] needs a joint
[00:22:33] venture
[00:22:35] for
[00:22:37] mining, processing,
[00:22:41] minerals and agricultural products, so that
[00:22:45] they can already receive revenue with added value, only
[00:22:48] then will there be...
[00:22:50] an opportunity, so to speak, to start getting out of this other, so to speak, hole,
[00:22:54] let's say, just recently,
[00:22:56] British Prime Minister
[00:23:00] Andy Burnham, I would even say, one of
[00:23:03] the British Prime Ministers, spoke about official
[00:23:06] apologies for slave trade, for what
[00:23:10] Europeans did in Africa, but immediately clarified that
[00:23:13] there would be no reparations, that is, no
[00:23:16] compensation,
[00:23:19] I... look with pleasure at your philosophical
[00:23:22] position, at how you relate to what
[00:23:26] happened, to those terrible shots, in fact, that we are showing here
[00:23:30] now, and you know, I thought, do you
[00:23:33] even need their apologies in the sense that either
[00:23:37] compensation, or what is more important, what Europeans
[00:23:41] admit their
[00:23:43] atrocities, but don't want to pay,
[00:23:47] well, that is, what is the main thing in this issue from the point of view... now
[00:24:20] talked, need to
[00:24:23] apologize
[00:24:25] 20 times, that is, as a rule, apologies should be followed by a consistent progressive
[00:24:29] position, not to repeat what
[00:24:32] you apologized for, but here it turns out that apologies are made,
[00:24:36] the situation does not change at all, well, slave trade
[00:24:39] is now, well, it's not about slave trade, it's about relations,
[00:24:43] relations are difficult, no,
[00:24:46] when there is already a habit that... we
[00:24:50] treat them
[00:24:52] like that, uh-huh, it's difficult to change, that
[00:24:56] is, it's a well-established
[00:24:59] approach
[00:25:02] to communication, that
[00:25:05] is, in principle, apologies are, so to speak, well,
[00:25:08] if you want, we apologize, right, if you don't want to,
[00:25:12] we won't, but we don't have money to pay you for what you want, right,
[00:25:16] let's go back to our relations, Russia-Africa, Africa-Russia.
[00:25:20] At the summit, Vladimir Putin said: Russia, as you know, is actively
[00:25:23] participating in efforts to financially rehabilitate African
[00:25:27] countries and alleviate the debt burden. Well,
[00:25:31] how can Russia help Africa get rid of
[00:25:34] debts? Well, it is obvious that Russia
[00:25:37] will not pay for the debts of African
[00:25:40] countries, but Russia itself has
[00:25:43] experience of how to get out of
[00:25:46] such a situation, because Russia also had such a situation. Not
[00:25:50] like Africa, but there was such
[00:25:53] a situation, well, as I already said,
[00:25:56] so, if there is a joint
[00:25:59] project
[00:26:01] on added value. What is, so to speak, located on
[00:26:05] the continent, that is, minerals
[00:26:07] and agricultural products and so on, right, that is, not just
[00:26:10] to extract and sell, but to extract
[00:26:14] and process, then
[00:26:17] the value, so to speak, will increase, right, then the income of African
[00:26:20] countries there will increase and
[00:26:24] gradually there will be chances to
[00:26:27] reduce this debt, if only the one who... in
[00:26:31] debt, is not interested in prolonging it forever, but you already said that
[00:26:35] China is now actively entering, in
[00:26:38] general, one could say, buying up debts, including those of Europeans,
[00:26:41] bringing in money and transferring these debts to themselves, and how
[00:26:45] will China react now to such
[00:26:48] a scheme, to Russian aid, including, if an investor comes, builds
[00:26:51] an enterprise, creates added value in Africa and starts
[00:26:55] paying off debts,
[00:26:58] I think this is a question that
[00:27:02] is
[00:27:05] in the competence
[00:27:08] of the
[00:27:12] governments of African countries, that
[00:27:14] is, they should be
[00:27:16] more
[00:27:18] prudent when they sign
[00:27:22] agreements, that is, both financial and any
[00:27:25] other agreements, and I don't think
[00:27:28] that China will be strongly in favor of...
[00:29:16] but the state and the state will not create enterprises, that is, it is necessary to lower it for business, yes, so that businesses
[00:29:18] can cooperate with each other, that
[00:29:22] is, there are many tools that are now
[00:29:25] subject to so-called restrictions, there is
[00:29:29] Vnesheconombank, there is -
[00:30:02] Trump just can't calm down.
[00:30:16] News on Zvezda in the studio Mikhail Reshetov. Hello. The silence
[00:30:20] regime in Aleshky has ended. Both sides have fulfilled all obligations and
[00:30:24] now it is important to make the delivery of humanitarian aid
[00:30:27] regular. This was stated by Russian Ombudsman Yana Lantratova,
[00:30:30] Commissioner for Human Rights. She stressed that Moscow and Kyiv
[00:30:34] are currently working on continuing the humanitarian mission, cooperation is important to maintain,
[00:30:38] because residents remain in Aleshky who still need
[00:30:41] support. Those who took advantage of the humanitarian corridor and left for Crimea
[00:30:45] and Kuban are provided with medical and legal assistance in temporary
[00:30:48] accommodation centers. They were equipped in boarding houses on the Black Sea
[00:30:51] coast. MFC specialists come to the evacuees, they
[00:30:55] help people get new TINs, SNILS, restore
[00:30:58] passports, register for public services, and mobile bank branches
[00:31:02] issue cards and advise on social benefits, work on...
