[00:00:30] that the previous authorities concealed arms supplies to the Kiev
[00:00:33] regime, 17 billion 100 million crowns were secretly
[00:00:37] invested in arms in the Czech budget. All of this was
[00:00:40] hidden, all of this was top secret. Why was this
[00:00:43] deal kept secret? It is known that
[00:00:46] 60 M-110 A2 self-propelled artillery systems were removed from the Greek army's arsenal
[00:00:50] and are stored at one of the military bases.
[00:00:54] The self-propelled guns are almost 50 years old, most
[00:00:57] are faulty. The engines and transmission have long exhausted their
[00:01:01] service life and are out of order, but Ukraine will
[00:01:04] receive them at a price almost three times more expensive than new
[00:01:07] equipment. The approximate cost of this used
[00:01:10] howitzer model is about 700 thousand
[00:01:14] dollars, but according to unverified data, they will
[00:01:17] go to Ukraine at a cost of about 2 million
[00:01:20] dollars per unit, this difference,
[00:01:24] which will be somehow legalized through
[00:01:27] a whole network of intermediaries, causes
[00:01:31] And so, the Kiev regime, along with its
[00:01:34] accomplices, buys this old junk as new, and that's not
[00:01:38] all, the barrel life of the self-propelled gun is about 400
[00:01:41] shots, after which it needs to be replaced, it is not difficult
[00:01:45] to calculate that for 60 self-propelled guns out of 150
[00:01:48] thousand ammunition supplied by the Greeks, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able
[00:01:52] to use a maximum of 24 thousand, this is
[00:01:55] 16%, the remaining
[00:01:57] 84% of shells will be un... demanded, because
[00:02:01] barrels for M-110 A2 are no longer produced,
[00:02:04] and there are no stocks in warehouses. This means that
[00:02:07] the howitzers will turn into useless
[00:02:10] scrap metal.
[00:02:17] But in addition to high-explosive fragmentation and cluster munitions, this self-propelled gun can
[00:02:21] also use another type of ammunition,
[00:02:24] nuclear. According to experts, in the USA, specifically for
[00:02:27] the M-110 A2, approximately 550
[00:02:31] w79 shells with a power
[00:02:34] of 1.1 kilotons were produced. How
[00:02:37] likely is it that they could end up in Ukraine? With
[00:02:41] a high degree of probability, we can assume that such nuclear
[00:02:44] ammunition will not be transferred, firstly,
[00:02:47] because they require certain
[00:02:50] special care and maintenance,
[00:02:53] secondly, the use of nuclear ammunition
[00:02:56] still requires certain skills.
[00:03:01] These self-propelled guns will be waiting for Russian
[00:03:05] self-propelled guns Pion and
[00:03:08] Malka. Despite the same caliber - 203
[00:03:12] mm, domestic self-propelled guns are distinguished by
[00:03:15] higher tactical and technical
[00:03:18] characteristics. The American self-propelled gun is
[00:03:21] a clear outsider, primarily in terms of firing
[00:03:25] range. Ukraine was once again
[00:03:28] sold, well, frankly speaking, scrap metal,
[00:03:32] sold for fabulous
[00:03:34] money. It is no coincidence that experts saw
[00:03:38] a corruption trail in this deal, which is
[00:03:41] characteristic of the Kiev elite.
[00:03:45] Watch next: why is Peter the Great being
[00:03:48] made into an enemy of
[00:03:50] independent Ukraine?
[00:03:57] What did the Emperor do to displease the Kiev regime?
[00:04:05] Russian, and what does the traitor Ivan
[00:04:07] Mazepa have to do with this?

[00:09:02] In November and December 2026,
[00:09:04] the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, together with the State
[00:09:08] Agency for Arts, plans to announce an open
[00:09:11] competition. It will determine the appearance of the first monument
[00:09:15] to Hetman Mazepa in Kyiv. The monument will be made by decree
[00:09:18] of Zelensky, and will be installed on the site of the Lenin monument,
[00:09:22] demolished by nationalists in 2003.
[00:09:25] year.
[00:09:30] And right now, in the center of Poltava, a lavish
[00:09:33] ceremony is taking place, honoring the troops of Charles
[00:09:36] XII. All this is part of a large-scale event
[00:09:39] dedicated to myths about the Battle of Poltava. The organizer
[00:09:43] of what is happening, the same Institute of National Memory of Ukraine, does not
[00:09:47] hide its goal, to rewrite the history of the Northern War and give
[00:09:51] a completely new assessment to its key event,
[00:09:54] the defeat of the Swedes near Poltava. Listen to how
[00:09:58] this monstrous idea is presented by the current head of one
[00:10:01] of the independent museums. The exhibition
[00:10:04] is dedicated to the main myths of Russian imperial propaganda about the Battle of Poltava,
[00:10:08] about the Great Northern War, for example, it
[00:10:11] debunks Russian myths about Ivan Mazepa, as a
[00:10:14] traitor. The exposition was mockingly
[00:10:17] placed right by the Monument of Glory, known as the monument
[00:10:20] to Russian weapons. It was installed back in
[00:10:23] 1809. in honor of the centenary of the victory
[00:10:26] of the Russian army under the command of Peter I over
[00:10:30] Swedish troops. Now, however, the Institute of National Memory
[00:10:33] of Ukraine calls the Northern War
[00:10:36] "people's". The troops of Charles XII, who burned local
[00:10:40] towns and villages to the ground, are called liberators. A handful
[00:10:43] of Cossacks, whom Mazepa managed to deceive and attract to his side
[00:10:47] - patriots. And the Hetman-traitor himself,
[00:10:50] a hero-patron, who died for Ukraine, although
[00:10:53] this country did not exist in the year...
[00:11:05] established in honor of the victory over
[00:11:06] the Swedes.
[00:11:13] In January last year, the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine excluded 15
[00:11:16] cultural heritage sites in Poltava from
[00:11:19] the state register of monuments, primarily those associated with the Battle of Poltava.
[00:11:22] And in October 2025.
[00:11:55] in relation to the beginning of the 20th century, then
[00:11:58] modern Kyiv authorities need some kind of
[00:12:02] historical background for their power. Well, and the cherry on
[00:12:05] the cake is this odious Kyiv historian, by the way,
[00:12:09] a Doctor of Science with the telling surname Brekhunenko,
[00:12:12] author of many pseudo-discoveries, for example, about the wars that Russia allegedly waged
[00:12:16] against Ukraine since the 19th century, once
[00:12:19] again, since the 12th, when there was neither Russia, nor
[00:12:23] even more so Ukraine. There was one state,
[00:12:27] Rus. So, Brikhunenko at one of the scientific conferences
[00:12:30] dedicated to the Battle of Poltava stated that all the reforms
[00:12:33] of Peter I were carried out by Ukrainians.
[00:12:37] In April 2026, in Ukraine, this
[00:12:41] pseudo-investigation was published,
[00:12:44] as it is claimed, based on
[00:12:47] ancient letters and secret
[00:12:50] archives. It is called Black
[00:12:53] Zaporozhians. which was hidden for 300
[00:12:57] years, all the truth about the Battle of
[00:13:00] Poltava.
[00:13:02] Of course, ancient letters, secret
[00:13:05] archives and in general no
[00:13:08] documents, the authors of this, so-called sensation do not
[00:13:11] present, but claim, as
[00:13:14] if, further quote, the Black Zaporozhians,
[00:13:18] a legendary Cossack Ukrainian regiment,
[00:13:21] which in Poltava did not...
[00:13:55] traces, here is a detailed description of the entire
[00:13:58] battle and absolutely all units participating in the Battle of Poltava,
[00:14:01] so this document proves
[00:14:04] that there were no Black Zaporozhians near Poltava. Moreover, everyone
[00:14:07] knows that this military formation appeared only in
[00:14:11] 1918, that is, 200 years
[00:14:15] after the Battle of Poltava, as one of the detachments of Hetman Skoropadsky,
[00:14:19] whom German and Austro-Hungarian troops brought to power,
[00:14:22] seizing.
[00:14:55] as for the Cossacks of the Northern War, it was never like that.
[00:14:59] And this is Petro Dichenko, the commander of those same
[00:15:02] Black Zaporozhians. It is interesting that after the collapse of the UNR, in
[00:15:06] 1920, he fought for Poland during
[00:15:10] its attack on Soviet Russia, during the Great
[00:15:13] Patriotic War for Nazi Germany, he was the chief
[00:15:16] resident of the Sonderstab Rver in the central
[00:15:20] and northeastern regions of Ukraine, where he created agent networks to
[00:15:24] fight partisans, this war criminal and
[00:15:28] executioner personally received the Iron Cross award from Hitler,
[00:15:31] so the Black Zaporozhians were indeed
[00:15:35] monsters, but by no means Mazia. And this is precisely
[00:15:39] known.
[00:15:42] It's not surprising that these executioners were also revived from the ashes
[00:15:46] by the current authorities of independent Ukraine. In 2017,
[00:15:50] the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
[00:15:53] which was previously called Krasnograd-Kyiv,
[00:15:56] by decree of the then President Petro Poroshenko, received the name
[00:16:00] "72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade" named after
[00:16:03] the Black Zaporozhians.
[00:16:09] But let's return to Ukrainian myths about the Battle of Poltava. Peter
[00:16:12] I is being erased from the history of independent memory,
[00:16:15] and Mazepa is glorified. Let's recall what this
[00:16:18] man is known for. Mazepa was the Hetman of the Zaporozhian Army under the protectorate
[00:16:22] of the Russian Tsardom. But in 1708,
[00:16:26] he announced that he was siding with Sweden, a long-time opponent
[00:16:29] of Russia, betraying his main patron, Peter
[00:16:33] I. But for what reason did he
[00:16:36] do all this? Mazepa was the
[00:16:39] richest magnate not only of Tsarist Russia, but also
[00:16:42] of Europe. Legends are told about his untold treasures.
[00:16:46] He had 500,000 serfs who worked two
[00:16:49] days a week for Mazepa. Mazepa received
[00:16:53] income from concessions for the trade of wine, tobacco,
[00:16:57] and tar, as we would say now, excise
[00:17:00] goods, as well as money from regimental towns, that is,
[00:17:03] he essentially taxed all of Little Russia and annually
[00:17:07] increased his fortune by 200,000 rubles. So
[00:17:11] Mazepa was primarily concerned with himself. It wasn't about
[00:17:14] love for his own people, it was about the fact that he could simply lose his
[00:17:18] personal power due to Russia's possible defeat in the Northern
[00:17:22] War. But what about the claims of pseudo-historians from
[00:17:25] independent Ukraine that the Russians in Poltava were opposed not only by Swedes, but also
[00:17:29] by Ukrainians? It must be said that Mazepa
[00:17:33] indeed promised Charles
[00:17:36] 50.
[00:18:07] Well, that's how it
[00:18:08] was.
[00:18:11] At that time, the Cossacks did not separate themselves from the all-Russian
[00:18:15] space. They didn't know they were Ukrainians, they were Russians. In
[00:18:18] modern Ukrainian historiography, the Swedes allegedly went
[00:18:22] to help Ukraine with its independence.
[00:18:25] They also burned Ukrainian, Belarusian
[00:18:28] cities along the way, plundered peaceful ordinary people
[00:18:32] and behaved like ordinary conquerors, not at all like
[00:18:35] liberators, and with such people he went into
[00:18:39] an alliance. After the Battle of Poltava, part of the Cossack
[00:18:42] elders, close to Mazepa, together with the defeated Swedes
[00:18:46] fled south, to the Turkish fortress Bender, which is modern
[00:18:49] Transnistria. There the Hetman died, he was excommunicated
[00:18:53] by church anathema. Mazepa, let him be
[00:18:56] cursed! Peter II deprived Mazepa of all his estates and
[00:19:00] ordered to cast an enormous five-kilogram Order of Judas in silver.
[00:19:03] And today this man is being heroized. The
[00:19:06] 54th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is named after him,
[00:19:10] and this is the Cross of Hetman Ivan Mazepa,
[00:19:13] a state award given for a significant contribution to
[00:19:16] the revival of the national, spiritual,
[00:19:19] military-historical heritage of independent Ukraine, established
[00:19:23] by Viktor Yushchenko in 2006,
[00:19:26] so everything that pseudo-experts from independent Ukraine
[00:19:30] say about the Battle of Poltava is, of course,
[00:19:33] a complete lie, which is aimed at whitewashing and, so
[00:19:36] to speak.
[00:20:07] threats, I am Nikolay Andyaikin, see you in a week,
[00:20:25] Dagestanis have always been
[00:20:27] for many years and
[00:20:31] confirm their loyalty to their small homeland,
[00:20:34] our common great homeland, Russia.
[00:20:38] Dagestanis actively hold a very
[00:20:41] active state
[00:20:44] position on key issues, they, as you know,
[00:20:48] serve in the armed forces. participate in the special
[00:20:52] military operation, moreover, in various positions, including
[00:20:56] high, one might say, the highest positions in all the armed forces
[00:20:59] of the Russian Federation, they fight brilliantly, courageously, bravely,
[00:21:03] heroically. Vladimir Putin met with the head
[00:21:07] of the Republic of Dagestan, Fyodor Shchukin. During the conversation,
[00:21:10] the president also pointed out the need to support
[00:21:13] the families of soldiers returning from the front
[00:21:15] veterans. This is live on air in the studio with Darina Borovik and Denis
[00:21:19] Kochanov. Well, we move to the special operation zone,
[00:21:22] we receive video from there online and immediately show
[00:21:25] it to you. The crew of a Su-34 VKS fighter-bomber
[00:21:29] struck personnel and a UAV control point in the
[00:21:32] area of responsibility of the Center group of forces.
[00:21:35] Soldiers of the Novorossiysk VDV formation disrupted the rotation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
[00:21:38] in the Orekhovsky direction. The footage is on your screens. Calculations of D-30
[00:21:42] howitzers and FPV drones of the Southern group destroyed a UAV control
[00:21:46] point, a dugout with equipment and drones, as well as a shelter with live.
[00:22:25] two bags at once, in which enemy units that had not managed to retreat
[00:22:35] were trapped. In the Kharkiv region, the Northerners successfully completed the Bear's Corner operation to encircle and defeat the Ukrainian grouping east of Volchansk. Now they are pushing through the enemy's defenses in
[00:22:38] the Velikoburluksky direction and intensifying pressure north of
[00:22:41] Kharkov, where on October 28, the village of
[00:22:45] Alisovka was liberated. At the same time, the Western group continues
[00:22:49] to hold positions.
[00:22:59] and the Center group is pushing the enemy in the Dobropolye area. In
[00:23:03] the Zaporozhye region, the Vostok and Dnepr groups are disrupting the logistics
[00:23:07] of the Orekhovsky fortified area, which covers Zaporozhye.
[00:23:11] On October 26, west of the Verkhnyaya Tersa River,
[00:23:14] the village of Obshchee was liberated. Despite
[00:23:17] Kyiv's statements that the Russian offensive
[00:23:20] has stalled, even Ukrainian experts admit the opposite.
[00:23:23] Counterattacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces could not stop the advance of Russian
[00:23:27] troops, and their own activity in this sector
[00:23:30] is declining. Not being able to change
[00:23:33] the situation on the combat line, the enemy is betting
[00:23:36] on aerial terror. On October
[00:23:39] 29, a record raid on the rear
[00:23:42] regions of Russia was recorded, with no less than
[00:23:45] 1,214 drones involved. Massive
[00:23:49] attacks also resumed on the Moscow region, according to Moscow Mayor
[00:23:52] Sergey Sobyanin, 862 drones were launched
[00:23:56] towards the capital in just one night. Most of them
[00:23:59] were destroyed on distant approaches, and 170
[00:24:02] drones were neutralized directly on approach to
[00:24:06] the city. In response, the Russian army launched massive missile
[00:24:10] and drone strikes, targeting enterprises of
[00:24:13] Ukraine's military-industrial complex, logistics
[00:24:16] centers, energy facilities, workshops for the production of naval and...
[00:24:50] fact, now this route is under
[00:24:53] attack from both our drones and
[00:24:57] periodically also under attack from
[00:25:00] barrel and rocket artillery, therefore, it is at least
[00:25:04] difficult for the enemy to use it freely,
[00:25:07] accordingly, for him the problem is
[00:25:10] generally the entire range of logistics tasks in this region, this is
[00:25:13] rotation, this is the supply of fuel and lubricants, ammunition, evacuation
[00:25:17] and so on and so forth, and the longer the enemy continues
[00:25:21] to hold the Orekhovsky fortified area, the more
[00:25:24] these problems accumulate, apparently, the enemy is not
[00:25:28] going to withdraw troops here, thereby, in
[00:25:31] essence, condemning them to the fact that sooner or later they will find themselves in a full-fledged bag,
[00:25:35] because the Dnepr and Vostok
[00:25:38] groups are continuing
[00:25:42] their movement forward,
[00:25:44] accordingly northwest and
[00:25:48] northeast. In general,
[00:27:45] the enemy, retreating from Dobropolye, is now literally
[00:27:48] digging into the ground, because he perfectly
[00:27:52] understands what will happen if Russian
[00:27:55] troops continue to successfully advance, especially in the northern
[00:27:59] direction, because if you look at the map,
[00:28:03] yes, from Dobropolye, which the enemy, in my opinion, lost
[00:28:06] absolutely ineptly, let's call a spade a spade, he concentrated his
[00:28:10] forces in another area and missed our attack there, in what
[00:28:13] area, I will not point
[00:28:16] a finger, as I fundamentally will not
[00:28:19] point a finger, so as not to help the enemy in some way,
[00:28:23] but it turned out that he was waiting for the puck conditionally, from
[00:28:26] one side, yes, do you really think that where you point
[00:28:29] your finger, it can help them somehow.
[00:28:40] if you continue to follow north, then
[00:28:44] it turns out that the further movement of our
[00:28:48] troops north leads them, for example, to Kocheretin and
[00:28:51] other rather important logistical
[00:28:54] hubs, important for supplying the grouping, with the help
[00:28:58] of which the enemy holds the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk-Druzhkovka
[00:29:02] rear
[00:29:02] and
[00:29:03] logistics to the enemy in this area,
[00:29:10] as it
[00:29:13] is happening now in the Zaporozhye region with the Orekhovo area. Well, what surprised me is that we see the situation at the front,
[00:29:17] naturally, our guys are showing good
[00:29:20] dynamics, excellent progress on almost all key directions,
[00:29:24] against this background, when the
[00:29:26] Ukrainian Armed Forces suffer defeat after defeat, Zelensky
[00:29:30] unexpectedly intensifies his rhetoric. He completely lost his mind,
[00:29:34] the guy, you can't say it any other way, and decided to explain to Donald
[00:29:38] Trump that the USA owes Ukraine for life, that's
[00:29:41] what he said, let's watch. Didn't President Trump tell you not
[00:29:45] to strike Russian oil refineries?
[00:29:48] Yes, we had several different conversations with
[00:29:52] President Trump and his team about striking
[00:29:54] oil refineries.
[00:29:58] We said: if you want us not to attack Russian oil refineries, then Russia
[00:30:02] should not attack our energy system, there is another
[00:30:06] alternative: provide us with missiles with payment, we will find the money, this will
[00:30:10] not just be military aid, if you want us not to
[00:30:13] strike Russian oil refineries for a month, provide me,
[00:30:17] I mean, give us missiles with payment for at least one month,
[00:30:21] are you not worried that President Trump might perceive this as an attempt to put pressure
[00:30:24] on him or Americans, using this situation as
[00:30:28] leverage?
[00:30:31] I'm not worried.
