00:03:41they say that in Ukraine they know how to make revolutions, maidans, coups,
00:03:45change of elites - this is almost a national sport, but in
00:03:48July 2026, Kyiv experienced
00:03:52something completely
00:03:53new,
00:03:59yes, Ukrainians took to the streets to protest
00:04:02against the minister's resignation, not for his departure, but
00:04:06against it. This is the first time in the country's
00:04:08history.
00:04:16To understand the absurdity of what's happening, let's go back a bit:
00:04:19January 2026, Vladimir Zelensky appoints Mikhail
00:04:23Fedorov as Minister of
00:04:24Defense.
00:05:42Fedorov publicly quarreled with the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
00:05:45Alexander Syrsky. According to The Economist, he was even seeking his
00:05:49resignation. In short, either you or I. Zelensky
00:05:53chose Syrsky. The government can take over,
00:05:56and Zelensky will blame all
00:05:59those failures and negativity that have happened recently. For example,
00:06:03the explosion in Vishnyove, where
00:06:06many people died, where
00:06:09streets and houses were destroyed, about a hundred houses there.
00:07:42shareholder Timur Mindich and a peculiar view on life. As
00:07:46many troubles,
00:07:49like many troubles in Ukraine, everything is connected with post-Soviet mentality
00:07:53plus Russian proximity to Russia. Russia always had,
00:07:56one way or another, the goal of controlling Ukraine, whether physically or
00:08:00economically, and somehow gas, I don't remember, in the seventies or
00:08:03eighties, we had almost 70 billion
00:08:07in production, then it all fell, no one was engaged in
00:08:10new drilling, development. all this was done in Russia, and if
00:08:14there were some public projects that something needed to be
00:08:17restored, modernized, developed, at
00:08:20that moment, if roughly speaking, Russians appeared who
00:08:23offered a super-adequate or possibly inadequate economic
00:08:27price, which nullified the desire of investors to bury
00:08:31money in their own development, and why?
00:08:34So they'll give us two kopecks cheaper.
00:08:38Koretsky has one small feature, he is Timur
00:08:41Mindich's man.
00:09:12agreed to the details, that is, she was already so
00:09:16compliant that Zelensky himself at
00:09:19meetings would say, "Can't you decide this without me?" That is,
00:09:22there was, you know,
00:09:25an overzealousness towards superiors and so on. Well,
00:09:29while ministers were being changed in Kyiv, in Washington another
00:09:32scandal was brewing: the Ukrainian ambassador to the USA Olga Stefanyshyna resigned
00:09:35due to personal circumstances, as
00:09:38it was officially written again, but in
00:09:42reality... The Ambassador of Ukraine to the USA Stefanyshyna was accused of
00:09:45embezzling 55,800 dollars. The National
00:09:49Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine is investigating the circumstances of her
00:09:53family's purchase of an apartment in Kyiv at a price significantly lower
00:09:56than market value. In addition, Stefanyshyna is involved in a case of embezzlement of
00:10:00international aid, which is being considered by the High
00:10:03Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine. By the way,
00:10:05Stefanyshyna served as ambassador to the USA for less than a year.
00:10:09It was not a coincidence, they couldn't even convince the Americans. Through
00:10:13the art of reaming.
00:10:16Our relations with the US for the future. We have a deal for
00:10:20rare earth metals, we have a deal for drones, we showed
00:10:23parity.
00:11:32While politicians squabble, while ambassadors sell apartments, while protesters stand in front of the government, the Ukrainian drone
00:11:36industry is working as it should, earning money. In July
00:11:402026, the American company Reconcraft signed
00:11:43an agreement with the Ukrainian side. The topic is licensed
00:11:47production of Magura naval attack drones on US
00:11:50territory.
00:11:55A beautiful story, but there's one nuance: Russia has already
00:11:59destroyed this factory in Kyiv, that very American one for UAV production.
00:12:03The Guardian wrote about it without unnecessary
00:12:06emotions, just a fact.
00:12:10War is not only a tragedy, war is a market, so don't
00:12:13look up. Ukrainians will tell their citizens this for a long
00:12:17time. Ukraine has nothing left, well, effectively by the end of
00:12:20August they have nothing left to finance their own army, so yes, they
00:12:24will. with outstretched hands go to Europe, but there too
00:12:28the possibilities are not unlimited and the desire of very many European
00:12:31countries, well, there is no special desire to finance
00:12:34Ukraine, they themselves create a problem
00:12:37that is becoming increasingly difficult
00:12:40to solve. There is a cause-and-effect relationship between one
00:12:44event or another, starting from Odesa, ending with
00:12:47the deficit of all these Patriot missiles and so
00:12:51on. These missiles are actually in Europe, there are...
00:12:55around 3,000 pieces. And why doesn't Europe give these missiles?
00:12:58Because it cannot give them. Why can't it give them? Because
00:13:02they convinced their societies, their countries,
00:13:05and their voters that Russia will attack them not
00:13:09today, but tomorrow. And how in these conditions can they transfer missiles?
00:13:13July 28, Washington, White House. Zelensky flies to
00:13:16Trump. Serious agenda missiles for Patriot. New
00:13:20aid package, peace negotiations, weapons, money,
00:13:23closed-door meeting.
00:13:30A good meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office,
00:13:34that's all Zelensky wrote about the results of the negotiations, no aid
00:13:38packages, no dates, no figures, no agreements. In
00:13:41diplomacy, a positive and productive atmosphere means
00:13:45only one thing: they failed to agree, but they also didn't
00:13:48fight, except that Zelensky managed to persuade an American blogger
00:13:52to his side.
00:13:55I am not speaking for the president, I am not saying that Donald Trump
00:13:59should kill Vladimir Putin, I am just saying, if
00:14:03I were president of the United States and I found out that another
00:14:06country was lying to my face and supplying weapons to a country
00:14:10with which I am at war, a country
00:14:13that 20 times a day broadcasts on its national
00:14:16state television, "Kill Trump, Death to America,
00:14:20Death to Trump," you know, I would
00:14:23find a way to do it.
00:14:32geopolitics from a pro-Trump journalist, but did Zelensky
00:14:36get anything from this trip? The US is currently experiencing
00:14:39very serious discontent, Minister of War
00:14:43Pete Hecsot has already publicly stated that since Biden's
00:14:47time, virtually all American weapons
00:14:50from warehouses have been transferred
00:14:52to Ukraine to Zelensky. to lead.
00:15:25cannot handle two hot conflicts with
00:15:28Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, with
00:15:31Russia in Ukraine, so we have a conversation with Lockheed Martin
00:15:35about technologies and joint production.
00:15:37a meeting with senators, a meeting with the President of Finland, Stubb,
00:15:41right there in Washington, convenient, and then a mourning
00:15:44ceremony, bidding farewell to Senator Lindsey Graham, the main friend
00:15:48of Ukraine in the American
00:15:50Senate.
00:15:57Symbolism on the verge of a foul. Zelensky flew away, in a good
00:16:01mood and empty- handed. However, he left a media
00:16:04bomb for journalists on Fox News.
00:16:08Let's be honest, I don't want to be too frank about this, yes,
00:16:12because the Russians will understand what is happening with our army,
00:16:15but I can say that Ukraine has lost about 50
00:16:18thousand soldiers on the battlefield, 4,000 people are wounded,
00:16:22Vladimir Alexandrovich already counts Russian deaths in the millions,
00:16:25but there's a point, a couple of months ago Zelensky said that
00:16:28Ukraine had lost 55 thousand
00:16:32soldiers, so it turns out that either Ze is lying, or
00:16:35he found the philosopher's stone, but...
00:16:37judging by Ukrainian social networks, the former is much
00:16:40more likely.
00:16:47Well, while the president was flying to Trump, Ukraine's economy
00:16:50continued to live its own life. The country's national debt
00:16:54exceeded 104% of GDP.
00:16:57Since the beginning of 2026, Ukraine has already transferred to
00:17:00the IMF about a billion dollars just in interest
00:17:03and monthly. Yes, mediately, Russian MarketPlace warehouses. if
00:17:07speaking about
00:17:14the worsening situation, the situation is significantly worsening due
00:17:17to logistics, due to shelling. I
00:17:21meet with businesses every day and indeed such
00:17:24despair from losses, from losses of warehouse
00:17:28premises, from loss of goods, stock of goods, has not been since
00:17:312022, so the economy is suffering
00:17:35significant losses today. So what are the
00:17:37results of the Ukrainian summer? Zelensky is an experienced actor, this is not
00:17:41an insult, it's a fact of his biography. He knows how to create
00:17:44images of an unyielding leader, a tough negotiator,
00:17:48a man who calls from a bunker at three in the morning and says: we need
00:17:52weapons, not a taxi. But the TV series Servant of the People ended in
00:17:55the third season, but prophecies are still
00:17:59coming true. People,
00:18:01Ukrainians, those who haven't left,
00:18:04come out!
00:18:08Ukraine is melting away before our eyes, people are fleeing, the economy is impoverishing,
00:18:12politics is degrading, war is devouring its own children,
00:18:16a sad culmination of a show that we mistakenly for many
00:18:19years perceived as a comedy.
00:18:44The National Library of Belarus, in the shape of a Rhombicuboctahedron,
00:18:48is among the top 50 most unusual buildings in the world.
00:18:52At night, the diamond of knowledge, 73
00:18:55meters high, is visible even from space. Moreover,
00:18:58the Belarusian National Library is one of
00:19:02the largest in the world. It is rightfully a
00:19:05calling card of our country.
00:19:08Today, it is not only a rich collection of books, but also a huge
00:19:11multifunctional center where high technologies,
00:19:14ultra-modern design, and unusual
00:19:18architecture meet. The faceted diamond symbolizes the value
00:19:21of knowledge and the infinity of the cognizable world.
00:19:25Grandiose construction, in which about
00:19:285,000 people and 200 organizations
00:19:31participated, began in 2002. Work was carried out
00:19:35around the clock, all for the purpose of... On June 16,
00:19:382006, the doors of the building were
00:19:42opened. The National Library is located in
00:19:45a picturesque park area. In front of the facade
00:19:48there is a bronze figure of Francis Skaryna.
00:19:51The main entrance is made in the form of an open book with
00:19:55images on the theme of the development of world Slavic
00:19:58writing, as well as words from the Bible of Francis
00:20:02Skaryna. So that the man of God
00:20:05might be perfect. And this in 19 languages
00:20:08of the world. The interior design uses works by
00:20:11contemporary Belarusian artists
00:20:13and sculptors. The collection of the diamond of knowledge totals about
00:20:179 million copies on various
00:20:20media. These are printed editions, manuscripts,
00:20:23microcopies of documents, as well as electronic materials
00:20:27created in Belarus and beyond in more
00:20:31than 80 languages. The main part
00:20:34of the funds is located on ten floors of the repository.
00:20:38There are 20 reading rooms here, and
00:20:41that's a total of 2,000 reader seats.
00:20:45In 2005, by order of the president, a center
00:20:48for international meetings and negotiations at
00:20:52the level of heads of state and government was created in the library.
00:20:56In the socio-cultural center, art exhibitions are organized.
