00:01:51Good health! We are the third separate assault brigade, the 47th
00:01:55Magura brigade, the 110th mechanized brigade,
00:01:58the 159th brigade. Every day we fight for our
00:02:01freedom and independence. Every day of silence is a day of continuous
00:02:05battle, the price of our lives. We hear you, we see everything. Children's drawings,
00:02:09warm socks, flags on balconies. Today, drones and
00:02:12REBs are not only protection, but an effective way to neutralize the enemy.
00:02:16A drone is our eyes, a precise strike. A pickup truck is quick
00:02:19evacuation and saved lives. We appeal to you with
00:02:22a request to join our fundraiser. We will not give up,
00:02:26we stand for you. Wake up, donate. We win together. Glory to
00:02:30Ukraine. Glory to the heroes. The charitable fund
00:02:33Vesna is raising funds for the third assault,
00:02:3647th, 110th, and 159th
00:02:39mechanized brigades for drones, REBs, and
00:02:43pickup trucks. Let's protect those who protect us.
00:02:58This is the Saturday Political Club and now to a topic that
00:03:02for a long time seemed
00:03:04like something out of science fiction, it seemed impossible, and yet it
00:03:07happened. Congress, Senate, and now
00:03:11Trump's signature, and the so-called
00:03:14hellish sanctions of the late Graham
00:03:17and, God bless him, Blumenthal, two
00:03:20senators, Republicans and a Democrat,
00:03:23have been adopted, and now it is officially a law that is supposed to
00:03:26come into force. There, well, I'll briefly remind you
00:03:30that those who will actively continue to buy oil from
00:03:34the Russian Federation will be subject to
00:03:38a 100% duty. Banks,
00:03:41defense, energy, the shadow fleet, the main
00:03:45Kremlin's cash register are under attack. Will these sanctions work? How to
00:03:48evaluate this decision? Will it be a breakthrough and why, in
00:03:51principle, did the Americans go for this, and Trump signed
00:03:55this law? I think precisely because nothing
00:03:58really changes in American... Russian relations and relations of the United
00:04:02States with those countries that buy Russian oil until
00:04:06Trump decides to actually
00:04:09apply this law. By
00:04:12the way, you might have noticed that Trump always signs
00:04:15important principled laws for television viewers.
00:04:18Remember the
00:04:21tariff law that introduced duties against many
00:04:25countries? It was signed in
00:04:28the White House rose garden.
00:04:31Therefore, Trump triumphantly stood with some
00:04:33tablet.
00:04:35Here, the White House simply announced that Trump signed this law
00:04:39dryly, without any ceremony, without any
00:04:42words from Trump. He did not talk about it, did not explain
00:04:46it at a meeting with journalists that took place literally on the eve of
00:04:48the signing about the importance of this law, although he himself
00:04:52insisted that sanctions
00:04:55against Iran should also be included in this law. Well, let's
00:04:59see. When Ling and
00:05:02Blumenthal proposed this law, it
00:05:05provided a rather simple
00:05:08procedure, the President of the United States
00:05:11addresses the President of the Russian
00:05:13Federation with a demand to cease fire
00:05:17within, I think, 15 or 30 days, I don't remember which version, how many
00:05:20days it was, on the Russian-Ukrainian
00:05:23front, to establish
00:05:27peace.
00:05:29If the President of the Russian Federation
00:05:31refuses
00:05:34to do so, the President of the United States
00:05:37is obliged
00:05:39to introduce a 500% duty on
00:05:43products from Russia and
00:05:45countries that buy Russian oil. Well,
00:05:49a serious decision.
00:05:52Then Lindsey Graham started negotiating this law with Trump.
00:05:55For one and a half years, he negotiated, negotiated, negotiated,
00:05:58negotiated, negotiated, negotiated,
00:06:00he died.
00:06:04The moment when he hadn't fully negotiated yet, but was already
00:06:07close. What was the
00:06:10result, that the President of the
00:06:13United
00:06:14States of America
00:06:17has the right, if he wishes,
00:06:20to introduce duties of up to
00:06:22100%
00:06:25against the five main
00:06:27countries
00:06:29that buy oil from the Russian Federation by
00:06:32volume,
00:06:36or not to introduce them,
00:06:39it absolutely depends on the President's decision. Why is this
00:06:43important? Because
00:06:46the President, according to American
00:06:49law, does not have the right to introduce duties on
00:06:53products from other countries without the consent of Congress. And
00:06:57that is why the Supreme Court of the United States forbade
00:07:00Trump from imposing duties on the whole
00:07:03world, and Trump lost the tariff war. Thanks to
00:07:06the decision of his Supreme Court. And now
00:07:10Congress seems to allow Trump
00:07:13to impose duties on products from other countries, but only
00:07:17those first five
00:07:20які
00:07:22that buy energy from the Russian Federation. That's
00:07:26why a huge number of Democrats did not vote for this law, because they
00:07:29believed that Trump could manipulate it for the purpose of
00:07:33continuing his trade wars.
00:07:36So, the question arises,
00:07:37питання.
00:07:41which are these first five countries that buy energy from the Russian
00:07:44Federation? These are the People's Republic of China and India,
00:07:48first and foremost. The amount
00:07:52of energy that other countries receive, even from the top five,
00:07:55is insignificant. And among these countries are
00:07:59allies of the United States and Ukraine, for example, Turkey.
00:08:02Uh-huh. Now, now the main
00:08:06question:
00:08:09to what extent will Trump be ready to introduce 100%
00:08:13duties for the People's Republic of China, because we already perfectly understand that the current
00:08:16situation is that
00:08:19Trump already tried to introduce duties against
00:08:22China.
00:08:24He burned himself so badly on this, it turned out that the American economy,
00:08:28and its strategic industries, are so
00:08:30seriously dependent on the People's Republic of
00:08:32China
00:08:35that introducing any duties on Chinese goods is a shot
00:08:39in the foot. Trump lost the tariff
00:08:42war to China, he will not start it again.
00:08:45India, India is more sensitive to
00:08:49Chinese tariffs. But they have already stated
00:08:53that they will continue to buy Russian oil, even if duties are imposed. Why?
00:08:57Чому?
00:09:00When India started buying Russian oil, it was
00:09:04a premium commodity for the Indian
00:09:06economy. That is, India
00:09:10bought Russian oil... for
00:09:12rupees, which it is still unknown how it gave back to
00:09:15the Russians,
00:09:18and then converted this oil into petroleum products
00:09:21and sold them on the world market for dollars. Excellent business
00:09:25for every bird. Before the start of Russia's large-scale war against
00:09:29Ukraine, India did not buy any Russian oil at all, because it was
00:09:32expensive, and it did not create much profit for India,
00:09:35but now the situation has fundamentally
00:09:39changed. Due to the blockade of oil routes in Hormuz
00:09:43and the prospect of such a blockade in Bab el-Mandeb, India simply
00:09:47needs Russian oil not only as a premium product, but as
00:09:50a way to somehow close the gaps that are created in India's oil refining
00:09:54complex due to the lack of oil and due to
00:09:57the depletion of
00:10:00strategic reserves. I always say that the real crisis and the real
00:10:04disaster will not begin when the blockade of
00:10:07the Strait of Hormuz continues, but when the countries of the world exhaust their strategic oil
00:10:11reserves. Then we will be in big trouble, we will reach this point
00:10:14if the issue of Hormuz is not resolved for some
00:10:18time. There is simply a lot of oil accumulated in the world, but
00:10:21now, due to the fact that this land
00:10:25pipeline from Saudi Arabia is already being blocked, it is approaching this
00:10:28point of no return, so we will definitely
00:10:31face an energy crisis of unprecedented proportions. In such a situation,
00:10:34India understands this. Well, after all, it is a country with
00:10:38a billion people, it is trying to do something to
00:10:41prevent this. Trump himself
00:10:44accuses us of increasing the price of diesel with our attacks on Russia,
00:10:48so what claims can there be against
00:10:51India or China?
00:10:55Thus, these articles of the law are simply illogical
00:10:58from the point of view of real
00:11:00possibilities,
00:11:04because it is unknown, even if duties of up to 100% are imposed on
00:11:07India for its products to the States,
00:11:10it is unknown what would be more profitable for India,
00:11:14to agree not to buy oil from Russia so that there are no such
00:11:18duties, or to put up with these duties, reduce its
00:11:22trade with the United States, but continue to buy oil. What if there won't be
00:11:25oil in India, it's unknown what could start in
00:11:28India itself in terms of social standards, in terms of
00:11:31fuel prices and so on. India is not the United
00:11:34States, people there may react differently to
00:11:38everything. So, it seems to me that all these
00:11:42expectations regarding this law are not exaggerated, all this generally
00:11:46has nothing to do with reality. I
00:11:49simply look with wide open eyes at
00:11:52the reaction of many people, including people whom I greatly... consider in the
00:11:55American, Ukrainian diaspora,
00:11:59who write about this law as a huge achievement, as if not
00:12:02noticing that the real law on assistance
00:12:05to Ukraine, the act on support for Ukraine, which provides for
00:12:08financial
00:12:11injections into the Ukrainian budget, multi-billion dollar, military aid,
00:12:14new orders to American military
00:12:18enterprises, this is what was previously under
00:12:20Biden, that this act, which has already been
00:12:23adopted by the House of Representatives,
00:12:27is lying in the Senate and no one is even going to vote on it. And even if you
00:12:31imagine that the senators somehow voted for it, I am sure that there was
00:12:34a majority in the Senate, it's just that the leader of the Republican majority
00:12:38in the Senate, Senator Thune, will not put it to a vote, and it is impossible to bypass him
00:12:42there, this applies to the House of Representatives. So I am sure that Trump would never
00:12:46have signed such a law, unlike
00:12:49this law, which does not create any problems for
00:12:52him. So, this is a purely
00:12:56decorative pre-election story that will not affect
00:12:59the Russian-Ukrainian war. Call
00:13:02it hellish sanctions, don't call it that.
00:13:06Senator Graham himself agreed to gut this
00:13:08law.
00:13:11And if we are talking simply about the memory of Senator Graham, this will be
00:13:14such a memory. Of a person who had
00:13:17principles, but who was ready to compromise them for
00:13:21the sake of understanding with Trump. To replace
00:13:25a real weapon with
00:13:28a plastic mock-up of a
00:13:30rifle, so as not to quarrel with the American
00:13:34president. Now the question is, are there any positive
00:13:38aspects to this law? Yes, they also
00:13:41need to be noticed. Firstly, no
00:13:44President of the United States can now, without the consent of Congress,
00:13:47cancel sanctions imposed against Russia by the administrations of Barack
00:13:51Obama, Donald Trump, and Joseph
00:13:55Biden. That is, even if Trump now, after his
00:13:59signature, wanted to weaken sanctions against the Russian Federation, he
00:14:02can no longer do so, which, of course,
00:14:06creates a dead end in any of his relations with
00:14:09Putin, if he wanted to weaken
00:14:11sanctions in response to some concessions
00:14:15from Putin in the Russian-Ukrainian war. That is,
00:14:18Congress can agree to a relaxation of sanctions only when it believes that these
00:14:22concessions are sufficient
00:14:24to... consider the war to be
00:14:27over. This is a real moment of this law, that it
00:14:31actually deprived the Trump administration of the freedom
00:14:34of sanction maneuvering. All these sanctions will be in effect.
00:14:38And, by the way, I must tell you honestly,
00:14:42most likely they will now be in effect forever.
00:14:45This law has placed a barrier on Russian-American economic
00:14:48relations for decades.
00:14:51Remember, Mr. Andriy, the story of the Jackson amendment? Yes,
00:14:55of course, this amendment was introduced against the Soviet
00:14:59Union in the 70s, uh-huh, in protest
00:15:03against the persecution of
00:15:06religious minorities, uh-huh, more often talking about Jews,
00:15:10but there were also Protestant minorities
00:15:12in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was not supposed to receive access to
00:15:16technological products. Fortunately, this became one of the major
00:15:19reasons for its decline and collapse. But
00:15:22the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. And no one canceled the amendment. It
00:15:26was canceled decades later
00:15:29десятирічча
00:15:32for the former Soviet republics that had already become independent
00:15:35states. And before that,
00:15:37these countries, including Ukraine, did not have access to certain supplies of
00:15:41technical products from the United States of
00:15:43America.
00:15:46And the same will happen with this law: The Russian-Ukrainian war
00:15:50will end, all restrictions on Russia's economic
00:15:54activity in relations with the United States will remain in effect for another
00:15:5720 years. You'll see, that's
00:16:00all. This is an important point, it may not affect
00:16:03the very process of ending the war, because
00:16:07Russia withstood these sanctions, but it will definitely affect
00:16:10the degradation of relations, no matter what happens in Russia
00:16:14after Putin. This is one very important positive
00:16:17Це один дуже важливий момент,
00:16:18point. The second
00:16:22positive point may be in the logic of delayed
00:16:26punishment. Well, that is, we can
00:16:30be in the office of the head of some large
00:16:33oil refining enterprise in India or
00:16:35China. And we can sit and talk like
00:16:39we are talking now, and decide that Trump will most likely
00:16:43not impose 100%
00:16:45sanctions. Well, we just
00:16:47analyzed
00:16:49it now and understood that he won't impose them. But we are not the heads of an oil refining
00:16:53plant, are we? Uh-huh. And if we
00:16:56were the heads of an oil refining plant, say, you are the director, I am
00:16:59the chief engineer. I am telling you all this, I am telling
00:17:03you, you see, we ordered analytics from serious people, here
00:17:07on... the pages, it won't be introduced, here's another analytical piece, and
00:17:10what do you tell me? Well,
00:17:13you are the chief engineer, but what will happen if he introduces it?
00:17:17Uh-huh. Oh, well, Mr. Director,
00:17:20I don't even want to tell you the consequences, uh-huh, it's just
00:17:23such consequences, in such numbers, we'll see such numbers, you don't even need to
00:17:27know such numbers, because you'll have a heart attack, you have a weak heart, I respect
00:17:30you, your esteemed wife, I don't want her to worry, I won't tell you about
00:17:34the consequences. So maybe the chief engineer can tell us about
00:17:38the volume of Russian oil, well, just in case. Well, it's clear that he won't
00:17:41introduce it, but he's so unpredictable, such a strange
00:17:44person. What if something gets under his tail and he
00:17:48introduces it? What will we do after that? We will go bankrupt. But unfortunately,
00:17:52this is, this is, this is literally the rule of business, diversification of
00:17:55risky investments. Well, yes, well, yes, businessmen think differently
00:17:59than you and I. Therefore, in this regard, this law can
00:18:02have
00:18:04consequences,
00:18:07all kinds of sanctions. Well, and by the way, and in this lies its positive
00:18:10significance. By the way, all this is on the eve of the visit. Everyone will
00:18:14come to America for three days next week to meet with Trump. Maybe this will give some
00:18:18additional leverage in conversations, plus they have this postponed war of
00:18:22sanctions until, I think, November 10th.
00:18:26Yes, well, at least Xi Jinping will know that Trump has the ability to introduce
00:18:30duties on Chinese products at any moment,
00:18:33and no Supreme Court will cancel that.
00:18:38I'm telling you, you need to see both the positive and negative aspects, and
00:18:42these positive aspects are in this,
00:18:46so of course, if you asked me whether it's better not to vote for such a law or
00:18:49to vote, of course it's better to vote, it's just that you shouldn't, I would say, you shouldn't
00:18:53have excessive expectations, but
00:18:55of course, we still have
00:18:58seven minutes before
00:19:02the mandatory break. I wanted to discuss another topic, we already mentioned today
00:19:06that for a year and a half... President Zelensky has not held
00:19:09a briefing for Ukrainian journalists, there are actually many
00:19:13questions. I even look at Trump, well, no matter what,
00:19:16sometimes he says some absolute nonsense,
00:19:18for example, he said yesterday, it seems, that he was
00:19:22told that he gave China as an example,
00:19:25and the journalist told him that China is the most repressive
00:19:29state regarding media, and he said that he didn't know, he hadn't
00:19:33known about it, but we are also a repressive state, because we have a lot of fake news.
00:19:39And you look at this and think, my God, what's happening, but on the other hand, he's not afraid to say even
00:19:43nonsense, and there's still a feeling that some dialogue is happening, no matter what.
00:19:46Let me remind you that even journalists initiated a petition drive
00:19:50and already collected these signatures. I don't know if there's a response to it,
00:19:53it seems there isn't any, but for a year and a half, there's been no briefing for Ukrainian
00:19:57journalists. We learn some of President Zelensky's opinions through interviews
00:20:01with CBS, CNN, Fox News, whoever
00:20:04else, plus or minus irrelevant. But at the same
00:20:08time, there's his press secretary, who almost spoke before
00:20:11the European Parliament, the former former Yulia Mendel, yes, and
00:20:15now she's under NSDC sanctions,
00:20:18deserved it. I actually feel a little sorry for her husband, Pavlo Kukhta,
00:20:21who was a well-known reformer, a prominent activist,
00:20:25who advocated for some transformation,
00:20:27Europeanization, and now he's forced to travel with her to
00:20:31European parliaments, and somehow of course, all this looks very sad,
00:20:35but returning to this story with... Mendel, she now gives
00:20:38interviews where she says that in Ukraine it's a complete
00:20:42horror, well, not about Zelensky, but even that children under
00:20:4610 years old don't learn to read here, and here we generally have jungles growing without
00:20:50bananas. I and this is actually such
00:20:54a discovery for all of us, that is, how, well, once again
00:20:57returning to this story,
00:21:00how could we get such
00:21:04a head of the press office? Is it enough
00:21:07to just impose sanctions, or should there be some other reaction, even a human
00:21:10one, I don't know, well, I generally believe that all these sanctions against
00:21:14Ukrainian citizens are some kind of wildness, both with Mendel and
00:21:17with anyone, because if a person is a citizen... you need, if you have
00:21:21claims against her, to start criminal cases,
00:21:23right? What are sanctions against citizens of Ukraine? This is also
00:21:27some strange instrument.
00:21:31Secondly, this is a question of personnel
00:21:33policy. Well, that's also a good
00:21:36question. The personnel
00:21:38policy of the President of Ukraine, it looks
00:21:42like this, to a great extent. We said
00:21:45retrospectively that now one can assume that Mendel,
00:21:48for example, was supposed to have been recruited by Russian intelligence agencies, for example,
00:21:51many years ago, just to assume, or after she
00:21:55stopped being a press secretary, or after that.
00:21:59Yes, because you remember, after she stopped
00:22:02being a press secretary, she wrote complementary books about Zelensky for many years.
00:22:06Well, so, what
00:22:09for? What has changed in her position
00:22:12during this time? So she knew so much. And she left
00:22:16her post and continued to enjoy her...
00:22:20connections with the president, right? Telling
00:22:23how wonderful he is, how brilliant he is, how wonderful
00:22:26he is.
00:22:28What happened after that, I don't know, maybe the money ran out,
00:22:32банально,
00:22:36well, that is, in any case, all this indicates that these are people
00:22:39without any principles.
00:22:43And you know, that
00:22:46Yulia Mendel, she worked for Espreso,
00:22:49well, I... showed herself there as a person, let's say, with
00:22:53rather strange behavior,
00:22:56but here, you know, they quickly said goodbye,
00:22:59she wasn't a press secretary here, of course, she was
00:23:02an ordinary journalist, and the President's Office seemed not to
00:23:06notice whom they were
00:23:07dealing with.
00:23:10Well, Mendel's behavior when she was a press secretary was already strange
00:23:14enough, from the very first days, literally. Yes, but
00:23:17Zelensky defended her, he said, I didn't let you blame... the girl, I
00:23:21will defend her, that's
00:23:22how it was. Well, why don't you defend
00:23:26her further, girl?
00:23:29It turned out that when a girl can behave not
00:23:32very respectfully towards journalists, it's all normal, it's
00:23:36okay. But if a girl crosses all boundaries towards
00:23:39you and the state, then sanctions can already be imposed. But everything starts
00:23:43small. In general, it's amazing to call your press secretary
00:23:46a girl, because I don't know, even...
00:23:50even Yanukovych, no matter how stupid and heavy he was, as
00:23:54one Ukrainian writer once described him, but
00:23:57he could afford a press secretary who was definitely smarter than
00:24:01him and more knowledgeable. I mean
00:24:02Darka Chepak,
00:24:06I don't even remember who Yanukovych's press secretary was, Darka
00:24:09Chepak, yes, Darka Chepak, and before that Hanna Herman, when he was
00:24:13prime minister. Well, serious professional journalists,
00:24:15yes, yes, with known
00:24:19views, at least the first time
00:24:22he was prime minister, but
00:24:25such is life. Well, in any case, he did not
00:24:29call them girls,
00:24:32in any case, we saw Yanukovych much less publicly than Zelensky, so we don't
00:24:36know how he behaved there. Well, that's also true, we won't
00:24:40think that Yanukovych was so
00:24:41well-mannered.
00:24:44Well, yes, that's right, this is, this is, listen, well, if we have a story with
00:24:48the prosecutor general, what's a press secretary to us?
00:24:50Yeah, if our prosecutor general flees abroad
00:24:54while being to in
00:24:56position, then what are we already
00:24:59talking about,
00:25:02the very approach to personnel policy needs to be changed. When you talk about
00:25:05journalists who want to talk to Zelensky, well, Zelensky, I think, is sincerely
00:25:09confident that he doesn't need any journalists as intermediaries in his contact with
00:25:12society, he records addresses every day, talks to society,
00:25:16what are these journalists to him, who from his point of view are definitely somehow
00:25:21some Poroshenko, some vial,
00:25:23paid for, what's there to talk about with them? Well,
00:25:26yes, I generally have such an attitude to life, I
00:25:30googled once if President Zelensky set his
00:25:33record for the number of these video addresses. It turns out, no, much was
00:25:37still in first place, so we still need to work on that.
00:25:41We'll take a short break now and
00:25:43return.
00:25:59Every day, Russian aggression brings destruction and pain to Ukraine. But
