00:00:31In Europe, they are discussing a diesel deal between Russia and the US, Donald Trump
00:00:35did not report. The US President also said that it was time for Ukraine
00:00:39to change its president. European politicians respond by expressing
00:00:42support for Vladimir Zelensky. Over the weekend, Russia
00:00:45continued to attack Ukraine. Jet drones even reached
00:00:48western regions, with dozens killed and
00:00:51wounded across the country. Over the weekend, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the third
00:00:54Yandex data center. After the strike, dozens of the company's
00:00:58websites and services stopped working, not only in Russia, but in other
00:01:24Ukraine and Russia agreed on an energy truce on
00:01:28Sunday in a social media post. He noted
00:02:17that an energy truce, in the understanding of the US President, means that
00:02:21Russia and Ukraine will cease attacks only on each other's oil refineries,
00:02:25and that is what is expected from Kyiv. At the same time, in
00:02:28Ukraine, let me remind you,
00:02:38all relevant
00:02:41orders were received after Trump's statement on an energy
00:02:44truce.
00:02:47On Sunday evening, three people were killed and 28 injured
00:02:50in a Russian strike on the village of Pesochin near Kharkiv. Pesochin
00:02:54is located not far from the previously attacked TPP 5. After the strikes, one of
00:02:57the Russian parcel bombs exploded.
00:03:37Over the weekend, Russian military aircraft dropped aerial bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. Search and rescue
00:03:40operations lasted more than a day. According to authorities, 23 people
00:03:44died and dozens were injured.
00:03:47I heard an explosion at home, I live across the street,
00:03:50I went out, I saw smoke, I understood
00:03:54approximately where it hit and immediately people started to be pulled out, a man, a woman and
00:03:57a child.
00:04:34And in the Rostov region, the fire continues at the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery's
00:04:37oil terminal. It was attacked on Saturday night.
00:04:41At the same time, local media claim that reeds are burning. But Tasint, an analyst
00:04:45from the Astro publication, concluded that the oil refinery is still
00:04:48ablaze.
00:04:51Yandex disclaimed responsibility for the consequences of drone attacks,
00:04:54the company added a new clause to its user agreement. It
00:04:58lists the circumstances.
00:05:12Ukraine damaged three out of four of Yandex's main data centers,
00:05:16as reported by The Insider. The Galushkin supercomputer,
00:05:19which is among the most powerful in Russia, was located in the Vladimir
00:05:22data center. Two other supercomputers were located in
00:05:25Sasovo, Ryazan region, which were attacked on October 8.
00:05:29Users complained about service disruptions for Yandex in
00:05:32Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. According to data from
00:05:36RF and DownDetector, in Russia also, the websites of Magnit,
00:05:39Lenta, Vkusno. tochka, online stores, banking applications,
00:05:43communication operators, RZD, as well as public services and
00:05:46corporate services, for example,
00:05:491C,
00:05:50were not working.
00:05:55You've probably heard about the oil deal with Russia, it's a big deal,
00:05:59a lot of oil will come to our country, frankly, I'm grateful
00:06:02to President Putin, a lot of oil will come to our country, and it's
00:06:06diesel, just what we need, so
00:06:08thank you.
00:06:12US President Donald Trump over the weekend, he gave several comments about the
00:06:16so-called diesel deal with Russia in the press. On Friday, in his
00:06:20social network Trucial, Trump, after a phone call with Putin,
00:06:24wrote that Russia would supply 300,000 tons of diesel fuel
00:06:27to the world market first, another 500,000 tons during
00:06:31November, and another 1 million tons after that.
00:06:34Another 3 million tons, Russia is supposed to supply, according to Trump,
00:06:38later, depending on the state of Russian oil refineries.
00:06:41The US Treasury immediately suspended American
00:06:45sanctions against Russian diesel fuel, all this, as Trump
00:06:49writes, is to reduce diesel prices for
00:06:52Americans.
00:06:55Putin did not give many comments after his conversation with Trump.
00:06:59The Kremlin only published his three-paragraph
00:07:02statement. Here is one of them. When
00:07:05discussing the state of affairs in the world energy sector, the Russian
00:07:08side confirmed its readiness to supply oil and not...
00:07:42We are very happy to receive it, we are very happy to
00:07:44receive it.
00:07:49Listen, we needed this, oil prices are already falling like
00:07:53a stone, so we are very happy to
00:07:55receive it.
00:07:57On Saturday night, when the first statements about the diesel deal were made, a new round
00:08:01of negotiations was underway in Miami, USA, between Trump's special envoys Kushner
00:08:04and Witkoff, with representatives of Ukraine, European
00:08:08countries and NATO, on Russia's war against Ukraine. And in
00:08:11particular. The United States threatened Ukraine with stopping intelligence
00:08:15data transfers if the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not stop attacking Russian oil refineries. At least, that's what
00:08:18two media outlets, Deutsche Welle
00:08:22and Financial Times, write, citing Ukrainian officials. But after
00:08:26the news of the diesel deal, the negotiations ended
00:08:29prematurely. Here's what Volodymyr
00:08:31Zelensky said. And at this very moment, when we are talking about
00:08:35peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel.
00:08:39This is, I don't know, it's millions, billions. This is an addition.
00:08:42money for this war, this is additional
00:08:45money for these sufferings against us,
00:08:48of course, it only fuels Putin and
00:08:52gives him the opportunity to fight even more.
00:08:55In any case, all this goes to the war against
00:08:58people, against Ukraine, against all
00:09:01of us. I believe that our
00:09:04team is simply being used as a
00:09:08cover, and this is certainly unfair, this is
00:09:12certainly...
00:09:42Russian strikes over 2 days claimed the lives of more than eighty civilians
00:09:46in Ukraine. The suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel
00:09:50fuel will provide Moscow with additional revenue to wage
00:09:53war. Now is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe
00:09:56will not do so. On Monday, EU foreign ministers intend
00:10:00to approve the largest package of sanctions since the beginning of the war, aimed
00:10:04against the Russian war machine.
00:10:07We will discuss Trump and Putin's diesel deal on our broadcast with Igor Lipsetz, Doctor of Economics,
00:10:18have not yet ended, they exist, as I know in Moscow, in Nizhny
00:10:21Novgorod, where is Putin going to get it?
00:11:55very weak, no such strong changes are visible
00:11:58to Americans, and these tankers have not arrived yet, whether they will arrive at all
00:12:01is unknown, but note that
00:12:05let's see the whole picture, and the picture looks like Russia is
00:12:09a country that used to export half of the diesel produced, because
00:12:13so much diesel is not needed, and for now on the contrary, it
00:12:16does not allow the export of diesel until, so, as far as we
00:12:19know, the ban on diesel exports has been extended until the end of
00:12:22October, only talks have begun, maybe we... Russia
00:12:38decided that it has reserves to supply, it sounds very funny,
00:12:41that's the second thing, so, that the US itself
00:12:44exports diesel, it has a fairly large volume of diesel
00:12:48exports, and this volume continues to go
00:12:51abroad, and all the time in the US last week, it was said that it would be
00:12:55necessary to limit diesel exports, to illuminate the market, that's much easier than waiting
00:12:59for tankers from Russia to crawl in, but Trump did
00:13:02not decide on that, because that would mean quarreling with oil companies, who would quarrel with
00:13:06oil companies, so of course, he continues
00:13:09to allow the export of diesel from the US on one hand, and on the other hand, he hopes that they will
00:13:13bring him a little diesel, and that will drastically change the situation, this is all
00:13:17of course, exclusively nonsense, just like in that movie he
00:13:20mentioned,
00:13:25Trump's words are based, for example, on what Putin tells
00:13:28him, when Putin promises him these supplies, is he deceiving
00:13:32Trump? Again, I think that the
00:13:35initiative here is not even from Putin, mm-hmm, the initiative
00:13:38comes from Trump, Trump needs to create
00:13:42an information occasion, and Putin says: yes, of course, we will supply, now
00:13:45in Russia the situation with diesel fuel has slightly eased for one simple reason,
00:13:49but here everything is not
00:13:53simple, but look, so. diesel,
00:14:05yes, on the other hand, in Russia now there is a problem, it may be an
00:14:09inter-industry one, but a very important one, in Russia now there is,
00:14:12well, how to say it, some excessive amount of summer
00:14:15diesel fuel, but anyone who drives diesel engines knows that
00:14:18there is summer and winter fuel, yes, so now in Russia there is
00:14:21a shortage of winter fuel, which now urgently needs to be...
00:15:25First of all, when you pronounce the phrase, Russia
00:15:28received money for LNG, this is
00:15:31an incorrect phrase, I should
00:15:33explain,
00:15:37Tikhi explains, let me also repeat, the companies
00:15:40that extract and produce liquefied gas in Russia
00:15:44received it, the Russian budget does not receive anything from this, because
00:15:48it is a private project that received tax benefits at one time,
00:15:51for a very long time, so the Russian budget does not receive anything from LNG exports,
00:15:55foreign companies receive a significant part of it,
00:15:58who invested in this project, a Russian company, but this money does not
00:16:01go to the war budget, that's the difference, right? You feel it, it was supposedly extracted in
00:16:05Russia, but Russia does not benefit from it, you need to understand this
00:16:08story, and if, so to speak, there is income from diesel
00:16:11exports, then from this income, oil companies pay taxes
00:16:15directly to the Russian budget, so the difference is quite
00:16:18noticeable even from a financial point of view.
00:16:27social networks, about how Russia is going to
00:16:31sell diesel, as Russian propaganda
00:16:34often articulates, in fact... always exported abroad, because Russia
00:17:07does not have such a large number of diesel vehicles,
00:17:10Russia does not have such a large number of ships that need marine
00:17:14diesel, so half was always exported, but attacks on refineries
00:17:18seem to have knocked out this half, so this crisis arose, when not only
00:17:22gasoline was banned from import, but also diesel fuel, it wasn't immediate,
00:17:25that's it, but now the situation is such that it will no longer affect
00:17:29the domestic market, the army is provided for, agricultural needs are
00:17:32reduced, because the harvest has been completed and now it needs to be disposed of.
00:17:36a deal with Russia, about
00:18:37the need to hold elections in Ukraine, Trump said twice in one day, according to
00:18:41him, the war started because of the incompetence of the authorities, and that
00:18:44Zelensky had many opportunities to stop the war, but he did not
00:18:48use them. Zelensky himself immediately
00:18:51reacted to these words, and I quote: with all due respect to
00:18:54Trump, it is up to the Ukrainian people to decide
00:18:58and choose this or that
00:19:01leader. End quote. On the American channel ABC,
00:19:05Zelensky said that elections during wartime.
00:19:3754% of polled citizens do
00:19:40not trust 41. Two years ago, in September 2024, these
00:19:44indicators were similar, sociologists conclude that Zelensky
00:19:47maintains sufficiently high trust ratings and, accordingly,
00:19:51legitimacy as head of state. And journalists
00:19:54from the Agence France-Presse asked people on the streets of Kyiv what they
00:19:58thought of Trump's statement that Ukraine needs a new
00:20:01president. We are free people, we wanted this
00:20:05president, we elected him, and we don't have. another state, not America, not
00:20:09Belarus, not Russia, to tell us which president we should live with, to take
00:20:12Ukraine and throw it away, at such
00:20:15a difficult moment, well, there are simply not enough words
00:20:18to say
00:20:21all this, to say about all this, this is
00:20:25his some erroneous personal opinion, I believe that
00:20:28he does not help his state and
00:20:32himself personally in the parliamentary elections,
00:20:35he does the opposite. so that everyone will turn away from him,
00:20:39and not only from other
00:20:42countries, in his own country too, one of them, that Zelensky needs
00:20:46to be replaced, well, because in Ukraine the war has already been going on for the fourth
00:20:50year and nothing better awaits
00:20:52us
00:20:54in the future, in my opinion,
00:20:58worse. Now in
00:21:06you, as a person who knows what sentiments prevail in the office of the President
00:21:10of Ukraine, this exacerbation of relations between
00:21:13Ukraine and the United States. Could anyone on Bankova
00:21:15have expected this? Well, I can't say that I
00:21:20know the mood on Bankova very well,
00:21:24but of course, one can judge by Zelensky's own reaction,
00:21:27and by many other signs. On the one
00:21:31hand, something similar did not come as a surprise
00:21:34to Ukraine and to the President's office, because
00:21:36these Trumpian rollercoasters,
00:21:40Trumpian swings have happened repeatedly. There was
00:21:43a very sharp crisis in relations with Trump after the meeting in the Oval
00:21:47Office last year, there were several
00:21:50periods of cooling, there were various peace
00:21:53initiatives from the US that contradicted Ukrainian
00:21:56interests, but of course, what happened
00:21:59in such a form, such a direct diesel deal
00:22:02between Trump and Putin, especially against the background of the escalation
00:22:06of Russia's air war against Ukraine, against the background
00:22:10of civilian killings in recent days, this
00:22:13of course became an emotional shock for both Zelensky and for many
00:22:17Ukrainians.
00:22:50and Zelensky confirmed it, there will be at least a ceasefire, then
00:22:54elections will be possible. In fact, the topic
00:22:57of elections, or this, this
00:23:01statement by Trump that Ukraine needs a new president, is not the main
00:23:05problem for us, on the contrary, as paradoxical
00:23:08as it may seem, this may even help Zelensky
00:23:10domestically, because it may not be on a full
00:23:14scale, but it contributes to such a domestic
00:23:18patriotic consolidation. A year ago, or rather a year and a half
00:23:21ago, after the incident in the Oval Office, when
00:23:25Trump also, even more harshly and with insults,
00:23:29demanded the replacement of the President of Ukraine, what happened in
00:23:32Ukraine? A sharp surge in Zelensky's political
00:23:35ratings, the highest, by the way, in the last 3 years, was
00:23:39precisely then, after Trump's call. Ukrainians did not
00:23:43like it when they were told which president they
00:23:46needed, especially when this happens against the background
00:23:50of Russian actions and statements, well,
00:23:53they do not support Trump, who already does not have credibility in Ukraine,
00:23:56Ukrainians have many complaints, many
00:23:59questions, and sociological data show that after
00:24:03the war, there is a high probability that the president of Ukraine
00:24:06may be replaced, there are also strong competitors to
00:24:10Zelensky, this is also what sociology shows,
00:24:13but to follow
00:24:16Trump, whom Ukrainians do not trust and who is now...
00:24:20openly acting in Russia's interests, I think that such
00:24:23initiatives will not find support in Ukraine. Yes,
00:24:26well, actually, Trump's logic, judging by his statements,
00:24:30is to reduce fuel prices
00:24:34within the USA. Here,
00:24:36I wanted to ask you again,
00:24:39what should Ukraine do? To some extent,
00:24:43it is still dependent on weapons supplies produced
00:24:47in the USA, yes, now European
00:24:50countries seem to pay for it.
00:24:53Ukraine is dependent on American intelligence data,
00:24:57what to do? Will there be new diplomatic missions from European politicians to the White House, as
00:25:01before, when they went with Stoltenberg, Macron,
00:25:04Zelensky, when they all went to Trump together, will there be such
00:25:08an approach again? Look, well, you said it correctly,
00:25:11as I said, neither elections nor a proposal to replace the president
00:25:14is a problem for us, including for Zelensky, it's not
00:25:17a problem, it's...
00:26:02with Trump, we are ready to negotiate, we are ready to stop
00:26:05strikes on Russian oil refineries, if Russia does not strike
00:26:09Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Trump reiterated yesterday
00:26:12an energy truce. But where is
00:26:16this truce? Was an agreement signed?
00:26:20Did Russia stop striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure? No, we don't see that. Unfortunately,
00:26:24it's a fiction. As for intelligence sharing, in
00:26:28return, Americans receive a huge amount of intelligence
00:26:31data from Ukraine.
00:27:32to act with tied hands or to be, you know, such a submissive
00:27:36victim for Russia at the request of the United
00:27:40States, so an active campaign, active
00:27:43work in the USA, through our friends,
00:27:47partners, through American public opinion, including
00:27:50discrediting the so-called diesel deal, in
00:27:54fact, this deal will not have an effect, 300,000
00:27:58tons is less than daily consumption, and working together with
00:28:01European partners. Joint positions with Europe are also a way out of
00:28:05the situation. Vladimir, thank you very much. Today, the entire broadcast
00:28:08discusses this diesel deal between Trump and
00:28:21were killed and over 300 wounded in Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia's
00:28:24Riyadh airport. In the massive Saturday attack, citizens
00:28:28of Saudi Arabia, the USA, India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Syria and others were killed.
00:28:33On Sunday, the Houthis struck again, targeting terminals for
00:28:36domestic flights. On the same day, the airport near
00:28:40Dammam in the east of the country and two facilities of the oil company were attacked. According to
00:28:44calculations by the Associated Press, the Riyadh airport was hit
00:28:47four times in 5 days, the airport is closed, and schools in the city have switched
00:28:51to distance learning until the end of the week. The Houthis call their
00:28:54strikes a response to Saudi bombardments of Yemen. The
00:28:58Saudi-led coalition called the attack a war crime and promised
00:29:02retaliation.
00:29:04A man was arrested in Poland who may have been planning an assassination attempt on Prime Minister
00:29:08Donald Tusk and the head of the country's Ministry of Defense, Władysław
00:29:11Kosiniak-Kamysz. Tusk himself announced the arrest of a man around
00:29:1460 years old on social media platform X. He thanked the police for their decisive
00:29:18actions. Currently, law enforcement is checking the man's
00:29:22contacts and his online activity. His house was searched.
00:29:24In September, Tusk warned that according to intelligence,
00:29:28Russia was planning hybrid attacks using drones and...
00:29:32against countries supporting Ukraine, I would add that Poland
00:29:36is one of Ukraine's main allies, the country is an important
00:29:39transit point for the delivery of military and humanitarian aid to
00:29:43Kyiv. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Warsaw
00:29:46has repeatedly accused Moscow of sabotage. The Kremlin
00:29:49denies
