00:00:00or still activate the fifth NATO station, the ballistics will
00:00:03immediately arrive from Russia, not only
00:00:06drones, but if it flies to Poland,
00:00:10Russian ballistics, to
00:00:12Poland, from what
00:00:15distance, from Kaliningrad region, well,
00:00:18in principle, yes, unless through unless Ukraine remains a buffer in such a case,
00:00:21I think Sikorsky still meant some worse
00:00:25situations, when that, well, it means that ballistics will
00:00:28already fly from...
00:00:33well, you see how important Ukraine is for Poland, because
00:00:36if Russia occupies Ukraine and
00:00:40ballistics fly over the eastern regions of Poland, that's a completely different story than
00:00:43just reactive drones, right? Of course. The drone still has
00:00:47to fly through Ukraine. Well, okay, we're just
00:00:51purely theoretically analyzing this situation. So everything
00:00:54flew. Poland is unlikely to respond immediately, but
00:00:58activates Article Five of NATO. And
00:01:01during
00:01:04the meeting of the defense ministers of NATO
00:01:06member states, the American Secretary
00:01:09of Defense,
00:01:13or some European ones, tell the Poles, you know, it's very
00:01:17important that you repel these attacks, we will provide you with more
00:01:20Patriot batteries and more anti-missile equipment, but please
00:01:24do not hit the territory of the Russian
00:01:27Federation itself, because this can lead
00:01:30to a real nuclear conflict, so please, defeat Russia in
00:01:34your own territory, we will strengthen your anti-missile defense, it
00:01:38may be, quite, well,
00:01:41that's the fear of nuclear
00:01:45war, because if, hypothetically,
00:01:49Russia strikes with a nuclear missile at
00:01:51Ukraine, this does not require a nuclear
00:01:54response from the United
00:01:56States,
00:01:59well, this can... deep concern, this can cause new
00:02:02serious sanctions, this can cause a lot, but we don't
00:02:05know how ready the United States will be, even under
00:02:09Trump, we knew, we knew there wasn't a forceful strike on Russia in such a
00:02:12situation, much worse, we knew,
00:02:16Mr. Vitaly, under Biden, that they had this
00:02:19tiger committee or whatever it was called, which
00:02:22developed, in principle, the course of action, what they would do in case
00:02:26even tactical nuclear weapons were used on the territory of Ukraine, that is, there should have been an immediate
00:02:30strike with conventional weapons, but American conventional weapons - that's
00:02:33also not insignificant, let's say, they could have completely destroyed, for example, the Baltic
00:02:37fleet with one strike,
00:02:40well, again, the conventional weapons of the United States -
00:02:43that's a serious thing, but we see how these conventional weapons worked against
00:02:46Iran, they even destroyed the Iranian
00:02:49fleet, well, they destroyed it, and
00:02:52so what,
00:02:54how did this generally affect their ability to control
00:02:57the situation in Iran. There is no US fleet,
00:03:01there is no Romanian Strait, and everything else is very
00:03:03good.
00:03:05Therefore, here too there is always the question that the United States, with conventional weapons,
00:03:09will destroy something in Russia, but will they create real conditions
00:03:12for the security of their allies in Europe, for their own military
00:03:16facilities.
00:03:19Again, we are talking about new technologies in war that are
00:03:22developing. Remember that just a few months
00:03:25ago we didn't talk about missile Shaheds at all,
00:03:29right?
00:03:31There were some isolated rocket,
00:03:34rockets, reactive Shaheds, I apologize, and
00:03:37when they appeared, it was specially reported that
00:03:41one or two reactive
00:03:44Shaheds appeared,
00:03:47now it's whole herds, attacking
00:03:50атакують
00:03:54Ukraine, and what is a reactive Shahed anyway, you could
00:03:58say it's a modification of a cruise
00:04:00missile
00:04:02of a new type, we call it a rocket-reactive Shahed, but it's just a regular
00:04:05missile attack,
00:04:08essentially, just
00:04:10scaled up,
00:04:14and I think there will be many more such achievements in military-technical
00:04:17progress in the next period of the Russian-Ukrainian
00:04:21war from both sides,
00:04:25how can countries that have classic
00:04:27equipment,
00:04:30who did not fight in this drone war, in this missile war, be confident in
00:04:33their victory? Victory is no longer about the number
00:04:37of iron, but about the ability
00:04:40to fight in new conditions, that's the
00:04:49the assessment of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, and today I
00:04:53saw the assessment of the President of Latvia,
00:04:56who said completely different things.
00:05:00He said, Edgars Rinkēvičs, that the war using
00:05:03drones in Ukraine is developing rapidly,
00:05:07and that measures to prepare for aerial warfare may become irrelevant
00:05:10even before next year.
00:05:13Europe is not keeping up with the development of drone technologies and
00:05:16aerial warfare in Ukraine, and most NATO countries will not be able to repel
00:05:20an attack by Russian missiles in case of escalation
00:05:22of the conflict, air defense systems, protection
00:05:26against drones and missile defense have serious problems, and
00:05:30let's be frank, Ukraine has such problems, Europe and NATO
00:05:34have such problems. If
00:05:36Russia decides to launch only a few missiles at European
00:05:40territory, today for many countries this will become a serious challenge that
00:05:43will be difficult to cope with,
00:05:47and here the question arises, you are an average
00:05:51resident of Latvia,
00:05:54also of Russian origin, or even Latvian origin, you live somewhere in
00:05:58Ludza or Jelgava, and you see such
00:06:02a statement by the President of Latvia, and
00:06:06then a politician appears who says, you understand that you need to reach an agreement with
00:06:09Putin? The question is not even whether we are right or not... right,
00:06:13the question is that if a few missiles fall on your Ludza or Jelgava or
00:06:16Riga, we just won't repel them, you will be in ruins, we invested
00:06:20money in your home, in your
00:06:23apartment, in your business, this is the work of your whole
00:06:27life, you will be left without this work, without a home,
00:06:31all because we have to help Ukraine,
00:06:35so maybe it's better if Ukrainians flee to
00:06:38Europe, we will live peacefully and negotiate with Putin, why should we
00:06:41save an apartment for a Ukrainian, why should we
00:06:45burn down our own house? What is this
00:06:48anyway? We can read moral
00:06:52lectures to these people, but the vast majority of people can think,
00:06:55at least, who are outside political categories,
00:06:59that this is the only possible way of thinking,
00:07:02if we cannot cope with Russia, we must agree with it,
00:07:05I repeat again, this was the point of view of the vast majority
00:07:09of Ukrainians before 2022.
00:07:13We were awakened only by a merciless war for
00:07:16the destruction of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, which is ongoing
00:07:19right now. The awakening of Europeans will
00:07:23only happen when the fire spreads to their territory and becomes the same war for
00:07:27their extermination. Until then, we can only hope for
00:07:31common sense, it's good that it exists at all. I repeat, we
00:07:34must thank Europeans that they still do not vote as Ukrainians
00:07:38always voted, because if Europeans voted the
00:07:41same way... destructively, Ukrainians would vote, there would be no Ukrainians left,
00:07:45that's
00:07:48the paradox, there would simply be no Ukrainians and no
00:07:51Ukraine, and we are discussing how Europeans will react,
00:07:55so far they have reacted quite adequately,
00:07:58allowing politicians to come to power who are ready to at least
00:08:02help us, we still had complaints that they were not helping
00:08:05enough, although from the point of view of such, I would
00:08:08say, our own
00:08:11logic of self-preservation, they would have long stopped helping us and would have
00:08:15long ago made a deal with the Kremlin, right? By the way, nothing
00:08:19is better proof that those European values, which we
00:08:23discussed a lot, are not entirely an empty sound, let's say,
00:08:26because in the end, that sixth year of virtually unprecedented
00:08:29aid, this is great evidence, well,
00:08:33just imagine purely
00:08:37theoretically, that throughout Europe
00:08:39from...
00:08:41from Lisbon to
00:08:45Przemyśl there lived people with Ukrainian
00:08:48electoral principles, instincts,
00:08:52instincts, yes, yes, that Ukrainians would simply live in Europe,
00:08:56here are Ukrainians in Ukraine and on the other side
00:08:58of the border, also
00:09:01Ukrainians,
00:09:05well, how would all this look, I'll tell you more, we
00:09:09know how all this would look, we saw how
00:09:13some Ukrainian diasporas in the United States
00:09:16of America
00:09:19in the same Pennsylvania voted,
00:09:21right?
00:09:26Here's your answer to the question.
00:09:30They voted the way the average
00:09:34Ukrainian voter voted for promises, for pleasant
00:09:37promises.
00:09:40And we were very offended by these people, and what... you vote for those who promise
00:09:43to help Ukraine not for real, but people
00:09:46promised, they heard promises of improving their
00:09:49own well-being,
00:09:52returning to values that were very important to them,
00:09:54right, and they
00:09:56voted,
00:09:59and we should still
00:10:02analyze this whole voting structure, because
00:10:06we usually talk about the voting
00:10:09of Ukrainian diasporas in those American states where these diasporas possibly... something
00:10:12decide,
00:10:15but there is voting in states where they do not decide, they still
00:10:18vote
00:10:21in the way this logic tells
00:10:25them. What was promised, simply
00:10:28most residents of these states, not Ukrainian,
00:10:31diaspora, decide differently, but
00:10:35if these diaspora residents were not the majority, then the situation in these states would be completely different, there would be no
00:10:39hope at all that people who wanted to
00:10:42help Ukraine would ever have the opportunity
00:10:51how we actually voted in 2019, now
00:10:55those for whom we voted do not vote
00:10:58today, they even go on a one-month
00:11:01vacation in the middle of the huge
00:11:04budget crisis that is coming upon us and
00:11:07threatens to disrupt payments even to state employees, but
00:11:10more on that in a few
00:11:11minutes.

00:15:54women we have, Espreso TV channel presents Krystyna Parubiy's author's project
00:15:57Women at War, a look into the future, they persistently
00:16:00make their way into the army to
00:16:04achieve victory for Ukraine on an equal footing with men. Watch
00:16:08on Espreso TV channel every Saturday at
00:16:109:45 AM,
00:16:16servicemen of the 50th National Guard
00:16:19Regiment of Ukraine are addressing you. We are currently located in the Turkish direction, where the enemy
00:16:23has intensified offensive actions and is putting pressure on the infantry. Therefore, we
00:16:26ask you to support the fundraising for
00:16:29equipment for reconnaissance and fire adjustment from the sky. This
00:16:32will help save the lives of our brothers in arms. There are no small
00:16:36donations. Thank you to everyone who joins.
00:16:52Well, we're back, and I will, you know, continue
00:16:55the topic of the results of certain elections
00:16:58in 2019, the people's
00:17:01deputies whom we elected in the distant year of 2019, before the war, who
00:17:04already in... in principle, for
00:17:08how many years, two something, they have overstayed their
00:17:11terms, decided to go on
00:17:15vacation for 26 days, maybe these are very important
00:17:18vacations, maybe they will travel to districts and meet with
00:17:22voters, maybe they will work in committees, maybe they have some
00:17:26urgent matters, they will be engaged in volunteering, I don't know
00:17:29what, but all this happens against the background of the fact that
00:17:32we have a terrible budget crisis, a cosmic
00:17:36deficit, said Volodymyr Zelensky,
00:17:40the Minister of Finance warns that budget payments may be
00:17:43disrupted, and well, just such
00:17:46a story, and this is because we disrupted
00:17:50voting on several reforms that are primarily needed by
00:17:54Ukraine, not Europe, but because of which Europe has now
00:17:57blocked part of this loan of 90 billion, and
00:18:00this is about an amount of approximately 27 billion
00:18:19this is possible in principle, and and most importantly, what amazes me is some kind of Olympic
00:18:22calm, people don't go out to the
00:18:25streets, on central channels, or whatever it's called,
00:18:29telethon, everything is calm, some good news
00:18:32about our offensives, counter-offensives, President
00:18:35Zelensky smiles.
00:18:38proposes a good idea to pay us, for example, in advance
00:18:42from next year's money to
00:18:43Europeans.
00:18:47I don't understand this, but you perfectly understand that the parliament would hardly go on
00:18:51vacation if there was no understanding between the leadership of the parliament and
00:18:55the leadership of the president's office, right? Between the president and
00:18:58the speaker.
00:19:01So here there is another surreal situation, that
00:19:04the president, on the one hand, talks about financial problems.
00:19:07also about the fact that the parliament does not adopt
00:19:10European integration laws, and on the other
00:19:13hand, it does not influence these
00:19:17vacation decisions in any way, or vice versa
00:19:19influences, because we perfectly
00:19:22understand that neither the ruling
00:19:26majority,
00:19:29nor the speaker of the parliament, nor the head of the Servant
00:19:33of the People faction in the parliament, are subjects in terms of their relations
00:19:36with the head of state, we generally say that recently
00:19:40the head
00:19:43of the Servant of the People party faction in parliament has gained
00:19:46enormous authority in the president's
00:19:49office, some compare him to
00:19:52Andriy Yermak's influence, but I don't know how appropriate these
00:19:55comparisons are at all, because I always said that in
00:19:59personalistic regimes, and we live in a personalistic
00:20:02regime, the influence of a favorite
00:20:05is determined by himself.
00:20:12And here a very simple question arises for me: perhaps, on
00:20:15the one hand,
00:20:18there is a desire to get money, and on the other hand, there is
00:20:21an unwillingness to adopt certain
00:20:23laws,
00:20:26and we are living in this situation.
00:20:30Listen, I have explained many times that all the laws that Europeans
00:20:33demand from us contradict the logic of personalism
00:20:37of the post-Soviet regime, which has been built here since
00:20:412019,
00:20:45because both the head of state and the people associated
00:20:48with him have an absolutely Soviet view of power, they are
00:20:52Soviet people, it is very strange that they turned out to be so
00:20:55Soviet at such an age, but on
00:20:59the other hand, they grew up
00:21:01when this Soviet heritage in a large part
00:21:05of Ukraine and in a large part of families was not overcome, they
00:21:09were brought up as Soviet people, with
00:21:11Soviet ideas about what power is and what
00:21:14control is, so don't be surprised that Volodymyr
00:21:17Zelensky has approximately the same idea
00:21:21of power as Leonid Kuchma, let's say, it's not worth it, because these are actually people of the same
00:21:25layer, I would say, just Kuchma lived in the Soviet
00:21:28Union,
00:21:30Союзі,
00:21:32and Zelensky was brought up in a Soviet environment,
00:21:36and he will not be different, because what
00:21:39is given to you, what is instilled in you during your upbringing, you will not be
00:21:43able to change,
00:21:47you see people who at... 20-30 years
00:21:51old move to Western countries, as from
00:21:54the Soviet Union they moved, here's a good
00:21:56example, to the United
00:21:59States,
00:22:02to European countries, to
00:22:05Israel,
00:22:08and look what happened to many of them there, not all, many,
00:22:11they remained absolutely Soviet
00:22:15people in their attitude to life, here's Brighton Beach, uh-huh,
00:22:18all their idea of... it was more sausage, freedom,
00:22:22money, freedom, I would even say, conditionally speaking, no
00:22:25persecution,
00:22:29no persecution, perhaps, it's not even freedom,
00:22:32uh-huh, these people even
00:22:35after decades in Western societies, consider
00:22:39the values of these Western societies to be somehow
00:22:41retarded,
00:22:45not that they don't want to integrate, not because they can't, but because they don't want to, because
00:22:49you can't integrate into that, well, this is
00:22:53also, by the way, what happens with people who live, hypothetically, this often happens
00:22:56hours away from Manhattan, it very often happens with
00:22:59Islamic families who move, for example, to European
00:23:03societies or American, well, of course, listen, well, in
00:23:06Islamic countries at least there is an excuse, they have faith, but
00:23:10these people don't believe in anything except 200
00:23:13grams of Dutch cheese and 300 grams
00:23:17of Odesa sausage, that's the trick. It would seem they should have
00:23:20been more flexible, but no, this sausage absolutely
00:23:23suits them as the meaning of life, it can just be such a sausage,
00:23:27such a sausage, or it can be a billion dollars, it doesn't matter, it
00:23:30doesn't affect a person
00:23:31in any way,
00:23:36well, the same thing, of course, happens with people who stay at home with their
00:23:39Soviet upbringing, but get incredible opportunities
00:23:43to realize their principles, when
00:23:46they get power, what do you want from them, uh-huh, well...
00:23:50No one ever denied that their rules of life are
00:23:53correct. Moreover, for these rules of life, the vast majority
00:23:57of their compatriots entrusted them with positions, so why should they think that they are mistaken
00:24:01in something?
00:24:03Of course, especially for a person who has never been involved in
00:24:07politics, being elected head of a multi-million
00:24:10state is a move into a non-existent world,
00:24:14in which this person will be isolated from reality until the last
00:24:17day of their powers, and it is unknown whether they will emerge from this non-existent
00:24:21world after the end of their presidential
00:24:24term,
00:24:26that's all, that's why I keep saying, I would
00:24:30like to see the parliament as a subject, the parliament is not
00:24:33a subject,
00:24:35you should have asked yourselves not why people don't
00:24:39go out into the streets, but what is happening to the deputies themselves,
00:24:42uh-huh, they know that Ukraine
00:24:45is threatened with falling into
00:24:49an economic... abyss, they may realize that the people in
00:24:52the residence of the President of Ukraine are incompetent in solving the problems
00:24:56of the state's survival, they are citizens of this
00:24:58state, they must think what will happen to them
00:25:01themselves
00:25:04if the state ceases
00:25:06to exist,
00:25:10or do they think that Putin will gather them for a session of the Verkhovna Rada, or will they
00:25:13solemnly adopt an act on the transformation of Ukraine into the Ukrainian
00:25:17ASSR, as part of Russia, the Russian Federation, and
00:25:20will Putin need them? This is not a legitimate parliament, the legitimate one
00:25:24was destroyed in 2014
00:25:26by the uprising of nationalists, we know who is
00:25:29legitimate here, Dirkach Zaliynykov, so
00:25:33don't hope, they will hang you by your arms and legs on
00:25:36Khreschatyk,
00:25:40and this somehow absolutely doesn't bother them, that's what's strange,
00:25:43themselves, we are not talking about people, people may not
00:25:46understand something, of course, the vast majority of Ukrainian... voters
00:25:50still don't understand where she is. is located and the volume of the exhaust, does not understand,
00:25:53but they are not obliged to, an ordinary person in general
00:25:57solves their problems, they work, they defend the country, they pay
00:26:01taxes, they elect these deputies, so that they understand this, and not so that
00:26:05she sits every day by the TV or by
00:26:09this computer and thinks about how to save
00:26:12the country, she does everything possible or not
00:26:16does, as a citizen,
00:26:19and deputies, ministers,
00:26:22president should govern, if there is a problem of financial
00:26:25catastrophe, they should solve it, and not rest from their
00:26:28work,
00:26:31that's all. And therefore, there is indeed a serious question with this subjectivity
00:26:35of these deputies,
00:26:37it was not people who should have gathered from the point of view
00:26:41of the logic of the process in the streets and asked where the parliament is, it was the parliamentarians who should have
00:26:45gathered in front of
00:26:48a closed parliament, uh-huh, and asked the
00:26:51speaker why it was closed, and if the speaker cannot give such an answer or
00:26:55informs them that some official from the office decided to re-elect
00:26:59this speaker and finally elect the head of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
00:27:02who will be able to really return subjectivity to the parliament, who will not go
00:27:06to the president's office and talk
00:27:09with officials about how the parliament should work, who will remember that it is
00:27:13a parliamentary-presidential republic, in which the powers of the head of state
00:27:17are significantly limited.
00:27:20Well, we currently have this state of
00:27:23war, which greatly increases the powers
00:27:27of the president. For example, this week the president
00:27:29appointed a temporary acting.
00:27:32General Prosecutor Anton Kovalsky, who
00:27:36was, I think, in Khmelnytskyi or Vinnytsia, some
00:27:39regional prosecutor, and I specifically looked it up, and the law,
00:27:43the provisions of the law on martial law, allow
00:27:46the president in emergency situations to simply appoint anyone
00:27:49with a legal education there, or who otherwise meets
00:27:53professional requirements, as temporary acting General
00:27:57Prosecutor. But this is a very important appointment, everyone
00:27:59was waiting for it, because it was supposed to be
00:28:03a signal of how, in principle, the president is getting out of this
00:28:06situation, the Carthage of this scandal, when
00:28:10it turned out that the entire top of the Prosecutor General's Office was corrupt, not corrupt,
00:28:13that's not the word, rather connected with
00:28:16criminality, which is organized, with organized
00:28:19crime, the top of the General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine is not
00:28:23just connected with organized crime, it is organized crime,
00:28:26judging by everything, and is, it is organized crime
00:28:30connected with it.
00:28:33And here, here it was very important how Zelensky would act, many people
00:28:37hoped that he would appoint this competition, there was already a bill,
00:28:40it was already ready to be voted on for
00:28:43this competition, selection, independent, this would be a very good
00:28:46signal for Western partners, for
00:28:49society, I don't
00:28:51know,
00:28:54I think that Zelensky generally believes that what he told the Prosecutor
00:28:58General to resign and did not support him when the Prosecutor General made accusations
00:29:02against the leadership of NABU, this is already a huge
00:29:05success from the point of view of his
00:29:09dialogue with society, you understand? And the fact that he
00:29:12has to consult about candidates with society, this seems
00:29:15to me
00:29:18to be the president's understanding of how he should behave in critical
00:29:21situations,
00:29:23that's the problem, so you are again imposing
00:29:27your ideas about how the government should function on the president, and the president
00:29:30believes, and a huge number of people who are supporters
00:29:34of the president, that power should be concentrated in one hand, especially
00:29:37during martial law, and not invent all these competitions, all these
00:29:41conversations, because he knows better, and if
00:29:44he doesn't know better, then he still has to work with this prosecutor, and this is a critical situation, so
00:29:48let him do what is needed, and if the previous
00:29:51time it was wrong, well, a mistake, we'll fix it, and the previous time
00:29:55it was even more wrong, well, a mistake, he fixed it, he doesn't
00:29:58learn, he doesn't learn, and there is some critical number, well, that is...
00:30:02mistakes, well, that are permissible, well, there are two or three mistakes, I
00:30:06remember also, I don't know, the coach of the French national team, when they
00:30:10won then, I don't remember in what year, in '98, and he
00:30:13said: our, our,
00:30:16our advantage is that we always have the right to
00:30:19make mistakes in the team, well, okay, but how many times can the president of
00:30:23a warring state make mistakes? As many as he wants, because
00:30:26if I voted for this president, then it will be very difficult for me
00:30:30to tell myself that I made a mistake. Uh-huh, people
00:30:34who tell themselves I made
00:30:36a mistake,
00:30:40as a rule, are not
00:30:41the majority among the electorate,
00:30:44so a person who has already voted for something and then received such
00:30:47a result, will never admit their own mistakes, there are
00:30:51some people who say, well, at most, they can say, we didn't vote
00:30:55for Zelensky, but we voted against Poroshenko, remember
00:30:58that idea.
