00:00:00is under corrupt suspicion for
00:00:03precisely part of these NAB
00:00:07and SAP tapes, and this person first
00:00:10manipulated letters from military units to impersonate
00:00:14and present himself as a top lawyer, top
00:00:17human rights activist, and now Andriy Yermak
00:00:20has brought medical documents to the HACC,
00:00:24which state that Andriy Borysovych has serious health
00:00:27problems, and he cannot wear an electronic
00:00:31bracelet in any way, because it significantly worsens his
00:00:35health. It's
00:00:37absolutely strange, you know, because during Zelenskyy's
00:00:40era, we observed a number of high-profile cases, for example, the case
00:00:44of Roman Chervinskyi, and Roman Chervinskyi, by the way, spent a long time
00:00:47first in a pre-trial detention center, and then also wore an electronic
00:00:51bracelet, even was under house arrest, and somehow
00:00:55the person did not complain that his health had sharply deteriorated
00:00:58because he did not have
00:01:02this electronic bracelet. Moreover, I remember when
00:01:05the Kudrytskyi case just began, there was an attempt by
00:01:08the authorities to portray the top
00:01:11corrupt official not as Herman Halushchenko and all those people
00:01:15we heard in all their glory on the tapes related
00:01:18to Cooperative 11, but precisely the former head
00:01:22of Ukrenergo, and at some point, when
00:01:25this case was being considered, I remember
00:01:28meeting Mr. Volodya
00:01:31in the center of Kyiv. He was wearing a well-dressed suit,
00:01:34a beautiful coat, and was going to
00:01:38a meeting with Western ambassadors, and he had this electronic
00:01:41bracelet on his leg, and the person also did not complain that he had any pains in his
00:01:45legs, pains in his heart, and went to do
00:01:48his job explaining
00:01:51the state of our energy system and how efficiently
00:01:55we spend European Union money. And only
00:01:58with Yermak do we see these problems. Why? Because Andriy
00:02:02Borysovych is such a person with a very
00:02:04inflated ego, and he certainly does not want to be
00:02:08associated even in the slightest way with
00:02:11the fact that he could be imprisoned, he could be a convict,
00:02:15he could be a person behind bars. Moreover, there was
00:02:18a very telling story with
00:02:21graffiti in Poznyaky, when someone drew a portrait of
00:02:24Yermak there about a year and a half to two years ago,
00:02:28and then people for about a week entertained themselves by
00:02:32adding different images to Yermak, and one of the images was
00:02:36prison garb. And I remember that immediately after this drawing,
00:02:39this graffiti portrait was very quickly painted over.
00:02:42So these "green" leaders, these top corrupt officials and various violators
00:02:46of Ukrainian law, really do not want
00:02:49to be associated with the fact that they could one day
00:02:53be in the dock, and then would be sitting somewhere in a conditional
00:02:56men's colony
00:02:59and, for example, sewing military
00:03:02uniforms or some kind of work uniforms, that is, doing
00:03:06something for the benefit of Ukrainian society. And therefore
00:03:09it's not surprising that there are constantly these attacks on NABU and SAP. Moreover,
00:03:13information has emerged that David
00:03:16Arakhamia, in the presence of Zelenskyy, back
00:03:20at the beginning, when this scandal with a new batch
00:03:23of tapes arose on September 7th, they were sitting at a meeting with
00:03:27the heads of anti-corruption bodies, Menen
00:03:30Kryvonos and Oleksandr Klymenko, and there Arakhamia
00:03:34was precisely frightening the heads of NABU
00:03:37and SAP with the threat of criminal
00:03:40prosecution. And why? Because, friends, Arakhamia himself
00:03:44is very afraid that he might also face suspicion.
00:03:48And his hand-picked prosecutor general was a kind of
00:03:51insurance for Arakhamia and for other representatives of Zelenskyy's
00:03:54government, for all deputies of the Servant of the People
00:03:57faction, that because
00:04:00we have our own person there, that all our schemes
00:04:04are our own, cultivated,
00:04:07deputies do not receive their proper summons, and
00:04:10in this way it will
00:04:12be possible
00:04:14to save their people, to save this mono-majority
00:04:18and not to end up in the dock
00:04:21of the HACC himself. Moreover, I think Arakhamia was not particularly
00:04:24pleased with the case, for example, of the same Oleksandr Yurchenko,
00:04:28who, if... comparatively, perhaps, did much less harm
00:04:31to the Ukrainian state than David
00:04:35Arakhamia, but received his nine years in prison, and
00:04:39by the way, also received confiscation of the property that
00:04:42he earned with his hard work in
00:04:45the Verkhovna Rada. Therefore, undoubtedly, all these
00:04:48deputies and "green" leaders have
00:04:51something to lose. Well, and the most interesting wording, which
00:04:54came from the lips of David Arakhamia at this
00:04:57meeting, it sounded like, "But we can also
00:05:00detonate this Shahīd belt," and we saw this Shahīd
00:05:04belt, and the Shahīd belt, it was
00:05:07absolutely in the style of the green government, when
00:05:09your prosecutor general, or your close
00:05:12associate who knows many secrets, secretly
00:05:16leaves the country at night,
00:05:20and he leaves in a service
00:05:23car, which is also, by the way, a violation of Ukrainian law, because let's remember how
00:05:27the mayor of Chernihiv was dragged for the service car
00:05:31in which his wife
00:05:33left the besieged city.
00:05:36The person, by the way, was later even removed from office and the city was taken
00:05:40under control. And to this day, they pretend
00:05:43that there is no legally elected mayor in Chernihiv, who
00:05:46won the elections absolutely honestly, precisely against
00:05:50Zelenskyy's government. Therefore, Ruslan Kravchenko
00:05:54fled. His wife fled earlier, then Ruslan
00:05:57Kravchenko himself fled, and Ruslan
00:06:00Kravchenko also wrote himself a "business trip",
00:06:03he urgently needed to go to Paris,
00:06:07then to Pare, the person was very busy, but the person was actually
00:06:11not very busy defending the rights of Ukrainian children,
00:06:15she just wanted to escape and was looking for opportunities, and if we look at
00:06:19all those opportunities that Zelenskyy's
00:06:22government leaders are trying
00:06:25to find for themselves,
00:06:27the scheme is absolutely very similar. For example, the still
00:06:31acting head of the Antimonopoly Committee,
00:06:34Pavlo Kyrylenko,
00:06:38tried to leave the country using
00:06:41such a scheme. This person, by the way, has a lot of relatives in very
00:06:44respectable positions in the occupied territories. These
00:06:48people are absolutely such moderate
00:06:52conductors of the "Russian world", they repeatedly gave interviews to the Russian
00:06:56press and said that we like everything, we
00:06:59like ORDLO, we like this "Deneriya", we are connected to
00:07:03"Deneriya", everything suits us,
00:07:06and this public fact, yes, when your
00:07:09relatives generally work
00:07:13in positions related to the security system of these
00:07:16occupation bodies, it did not stop Zelenskyy from this appointment,
00:07:20and as a result, we got another such corruption
00:07:23case about illegal enrichment, when a person seriously
00:07:26tries to
00:07:29convince judges and Ukrainian
00:07:32society that all these penthouses, expensive
00:07:35apartments and cars that appeared in the Kyrylenko family
00:07:38came about because his grandmother traded raspberries
00:07:42somewhere in Donbas, and so there was such a moment when Pavlo
00:07:45Kyrylenko also tried, being in
00:07:49the status of the current head of the Antimonopoly
00:07:52Committee, to write himself an overseas business trip to Paris, so that later
00:07:56we could not catch him and would have to
00:08:00extradite him from abroad for a long time, but this did not work out for him, but
00:08:03for Ruslan Kravchenko everything worked out, he went
00:08:07on a business trip, took his wife and
00:08:10a service car with him, and now he is looking for political
00:08:14asylum, and this is precisely connected with his statements
00:08:17about the arbitrary actions of anti-corruption bodies. Moreover,
00:08:20these suspicions against the heads of anti-corruption
00:08:23bodies, which he did not
00:08:26personally deliver to these heads
00:08:29of anti-corruption bodies, but registered, by the way, in the system
00:08:33of the register of these summons, and then
00:08:36the Prosecutor General's Office had to make several statements that
00:08:39in fact, this is all a fake, and this person did not
00:08:43have the authority to do such a thing, but this residue remained. Moreover, he also
00:08:47tarnished the reputation of the same Semen
00:08:50Kryvonos, because he brought up a case from 2009,
00:08:54when Semen Kryvonos was still such
00:08:57an absolutely budding
00:08:59lawyer.
00:09:01This was an era when these young millennials were just entering the
00:09:05process and earning as they could, living as they could. They brought up this
00:09:09story of adoption and that, allegedly, this adoption
00:09:13helped Semen Kryvonos pass the integrity competition and thus he
00:09:16became the head of NABU. And
00:09:19now many people bring up this case, saying, "How can
00:09:22one trust NABU, because look at the reputation
00:09:26of these leaders, their own hands are dirty, so maybe it's not
00:09:30all so clear-cut." Maybe it's not all so clear-cut,
00:09:33but look, we see completely different career
00:09:37development vectors in the example of Ruslan Kravchenko
00:09:40and Semen Kryvonos. Ruslan Kravchenko
00:09:42also had very great
00:09:45opportunities to become a top
00:09:48and luminary of the Ukrainian prosecutor's office, because in his
00:09:51very young years, Yuriy Lutsenko,
00:09:54the then prosecutor general, decided
00:09:57that this young face
00:10:01of Ukrainian jurisprudence would be the ideal prosecutor
00:10:04in the case of Viktor Yanukovych, and so there, a person who in
00:10:08principle did not have any phenomenal
00:10:12abilities, received his portion of media attention
00:10:16and was positively marked with a fat plus in the Yanukovych
00:10:20case, because Yanukovych received his verdict, albeit
00:10:23in absentia, but we see how Ruslan
00:10:26Kravchenko nullified these past achievements and essentially
00:10:29repeated the fate and path of Viktor
00:10:33Yanukovych, because Yanukovych fled to
00:10:36Rostov, before that, by the way, he also very disgracefully signed these
00:10:39letters, by which he asked to bring
00:10:42Russian troops into the territory of Ukraine, to stop this
00:10:46chaos and this Revolution of Dignity, to finally
00:10:49overthrow it and return everything as it was and return the legitimate Viktor
00:10:53Fedorovych. That's how it was. Ruslan Kravchenko also looks
00:10:57at his suspicions when
00:10:59you have already fled, but powerfully messed up for those
00:11:03people who are doing their job, and all this is because
00:11:06your scheme was exposed. Moreover,
00:11:09his wife, who was brought along, is also such, you know, an analogue
00:11:13of Lyuba Polezhay, who was Viktor
00:11:16Yanukovych's beloved woman, and Viktor Fedorovych, when
00:11:19he fled to the Russian Federation, he simply could
00:11:23not leave his beloved
00:11:25woman behind, and this is exactly how it is. Moreover, Viktor
00:11:28Fedorovych from Russia began very
00:11:31extensively and vehemently to talk about
00:11:34various political persecutions
00:11:36by the Orange government, and in the same way Ruslan Kravchenko tries to talk about
00:11:40the Orange government. As for Semen
00:11:43Kryvonos, this
00:11:47person worked everywhere in his youth, in elections,
00:11:51and
00:11:53as a lawyer there... in parties, there was this
00:11:57episode with adoption, however, later
00:12:00he abandoned this adopted child, because he
00:12:03had his own biological issues, there were certain difficulties,
00:12:07but let's be honest, this person has cleansed
00:12:11his tumultuous youth with his current
00:12:14cases and his current
00:12:18cases of exposing top corruption. This
00:12:20is a normal development, by the way, for a career, when you may not have been
00:12:25an ideal youth, but you somehow develop and progress
00:12:29in the future, but you can't say that
00:12:32about Ruslan Kravchenko. And now Ruslan Kravchenko has taken a very
00:12:36clear vector, he is not going to return to Ukraine, I think that
00:12:39our green leaders and Volodymyr
00:12:43Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy are also not going
00:12:47to bring him back to Kyiv. Moreover, they waited and waited
00:12:50to submit a proposal for his dismissal
00:12:53to the Verkhovna Rada, and finally voted for this dismissal only
00:12:57after Ruslan Kravchenko fled in a service car under
00:13:00the guise that he was the prosecutor general going on
00:13:03a business trip.
00:13:05And Ruslan Kravchenko's goal now is
00:13:08to obtain political asylum, to present
00:13:12himself as a victim of political persecution, and here, by the way, he
00:13:15is not alone in these intentions, because
00:13:18these intentions very strongly unite
00:13:22him, for example, with Rostyslav Shurma. Let me remind you... who is Rostyslav
00:13:26Shurma? He was the person responsible for economic
00:13:29policy and a kind of investment nanny, along
00:13:33with another very odious character from Bankova, whose name is
00:13:37Oleh Tatarov.
00:13:39By the way, Rostyslav Shurma is a very famous personality,
00:13:43his father Ihor Shurma is a long-time associate of Viktor
00:13:46Medvedchuk, and so close and intimate that they
00:13:50started together back in the SDPU(o), and
00:13:53then their paths ran very parallel in
00:13:56business matters and in politics. Shurma was a long-time
00:14:00deputy of the Party of Regions, and
00:14:04was famous for very strictly adhering to the line of this
00:14:08pro-Russian party. And he had
00:14:11a son Rostyslav,
00:14:13a kind of young star, who
00:14:16for a long time, by the way, worked in Rinat Akhmetov's structures, but
00:14:20as evil tongues say, he started
00:14:22to exceed his official
00:14:26powers in some places and he was asked to leave, because
00:14:29Rinat
00:14:32Leonidovych greatly values his business, and
00:14:36would not tolerate such a thing, as a person from the 90s, when some
00:14:39big shot tries to tell how to do things,
00:14:43and also build his career on
00:14:46the body of your business empire. Therefore, Rostyslav was taken
00:14:50by the President's Office, and this
00:14:53was very necessary at that point for Volodymyr
00:14:56Oleksandrovych, because at that stage of Rostyslav Shurma's appointment, he had his own conflict
00:15:00with Rinat Akhmetov, so
00:15:03this was
00:15:05also a jab at Rinat
00:15:09Akhmetov, saying, "Look, we took your manager,
00:15:12he knows all your secrets." And
00:15:16so Shurma and Tatarov were in many
00:15:20photos, met with our top businessmen and
00:15:23tried to tell something about the development of economic
00:15:27policy, but the meaning of this economic policy
00:15:30Rostyslav Shurma then showed when, by the way,
00:15:34under the guise of a full-scale invasion, and when, unfortunately,
00:15:37the Russian Federation occupied a large
00:15:40part of our Zaporizhzhia region, he decided
00:15:43to steal 140 million on the green tariff under
00:15:46the pretext that electricity was being purchased
00:15:50from those solar power plants
00:15:53that were already under occupation. And
00:15:57by the way, then, when suspicions of frying from NABU and SAP arose, what did Rostyslav
00:16:00Shurma do? He remembered that he was the father of three children,
00:16:04fled to Germany and... to settle there, moreover,
00:16:07Germany is quite a welcoming
00:16:10country for people, for Ukrainian refugees, for those who
00:16:13try, for those who have children there,
00:16:17three children, why not, and maybe
00:16:20good Germans will grow up from these children, and so, by the
00:16:24way, Rostyslav Shurma also brought his brother,
00:16:27who was also an accomplice in this scheme,
00:16:31Oleh. Oleh, by the way, even organized a third child
00:16:34for himself under this pretense, so that he could leave
00:16:38under the benefits of a large family father,
00:16:41but these esteemed heirs of Medvedchuk's
00:16:45associate and very powerful brothers did not take into account the fact that
00:16:49European law enforcement officers have long
00:16:52cooperated with NABU and SAP, and therefore, undoubtedly,
00:16:55July 15, 2025 was
00:16:58a huge shock when German law enforcement officers came
00:17:02to Rostyslav Shurma's luxurious house in the suburbs of Munich
00:17:06and began asking such details about
00:17:09corruption. And what did Rostyslav Shurma do? He
00:17:13quickly fled to Vienna and is now trying
00:17:16through his lawyers to prove that he is actually
00:17:19a victim of political persecution, he is simply
00:17:22a victim of this terrible
00:17:25arbitrary action by NABU and SAP, because NABU
00:17:29and SAP have completely gone off the rails and simply want to persecute
00:17:32people they don't like, but who held some
00:17:36positions during the Zelenskyy era.
00:17:39So this was the first pioneer
00:17:42who paved this path, as a political refugee,
00:17:46this political refugee of the Zelenskyy era.
00:17:50Also, look, when we talk about
00:17:53other such comrades, then it's worth mentioning
00:17:56such a person as Olena Duma.
00:18:00She was the head of such a structure as ARMA, an absolutely
00:18:04incompetent woman, but very arrogant, who has
00:18:08connections with various men, including rumors that she
00:18:11was a close friend of Oleh Kulinich, who is involved in
00:18:15a case of state treason and the surrender of the south.
00:18:19So when Mykhailo Tkach caught her on tape, when she
00:18:23entered Mindich Zuckerman's
00:18:26office in a red suit, what did
00:18:30this lady do? She decided to become such an anti-corruption whistleblower
00:18:34against NABU and SAP and
00:18:38started her YouTube channel, which, by the way, is visited
00:18:42by some sane characters, I don't know what they forgot there, but she obviously
00:18:45wants attention, willing ears and to appear in an
00:18:48interview somewhere. In this way, this person is launching
00:18:52a rebranding of her career, so as not to be held accountable for
00:18:55her actions, her positions, or even inaction, because
00:18:59experts claim that during her leadership
00:19:03of the army, it was a complete disaster, nothing was
00:19:06done to make Russia somehow accountable for its
00:19:09assets that it had on the territory
00:19:12of Ukraine. There were not even attempts to sell these assets
00:19:16to some normal owners among local or
00:19:20Western investors, meaning the assets lay
00:19:23and waited, apparently, for the Russian Federation to return them
00:19:26back. So this is another such example
00:19:29of how a person who is connected to Zelenskyy's system, who was
00:19:33appointed by Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is now trying to pass herself off as
00:19:36a top oppositionist,
00:19:39an anti-corruption whistleblower against NABU and SAP, and
00:19:42is trying to claim that she is a truth-teller, she knows the truth,
00:19:46that's the pattern that
00:19:50characters like Ruslan Kravchenko and, by the way, Yulia Mendel are now trying
00:19:54to follow. Yulia Mendel is also such
00:19:57a star who is now also trying
00:20:00to restart her political
00:20:02career. By the way, Yulia
00:20:06Mendel is also such a very interesting person
00:20:09who wrote a book, "Each of Us
00:20:13Is President," wrote simply phenomenal encomiums
00:20:17to Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy,
00:20:20wrote about what an incredibly cool
00:20:24person he was,
00:20:26that this Maidan never even dreamed
00:20:30that such a leader would come to power, and this
00:20:33unhygienic Maidan didn't even suspect what kind of
00:20:37revolution 2019 would bring. This, by the way, is a direct quote about
00:20:41the unhygienic Maidan, and
00:20:45some passages, you know, are so bad that your ears shrivel,
00:20:48and even in those erotic Hollywood thrillers of the 90s,
00:20:52there were no such explicit scenes of one hero licking
00:20:55another hero as Yulia Mendel tried
00:20:59to lick Zelenskyy
00:21:01and even Yermak in this book. Moreover, there are
00:21:05public interviews, such as Yulia Mendel's appearance
00:21:09with Baba Natasha Vlashchenko, where she talked about
00:21:12what a phenomenal manager Yermak was,
00:21:15what a phenomenal leader Zelenskyy was, and now
00:21:18this woman is trying to befriend
00:21:22Alternative for Germany, which, by the way, is a pro-Russian
00:21:25party that was
00:21:28exposed for its ties to Russian, by the way, business
00:21:31circles, which very often produces Russian
00:21:35narratives, which openly talks about meeting
00:21:38Kirill Dmitriev and wanting to return Nord Stream,
00:21:42their leader, Alice Weidel.
00:21:46But Yulia Mendel also very much wants to receive political
00:21:49asylum in Berlin, maybe even get a job as an
00:21:52expert on Ukrainian issues for Alternative for
00:21:56Germany, and therefore she actively tries
00:22:00to portray herself as a victim of a political regime,
00:22:03a regime that she created with her employer
00:22:06with her own hands, because let me remind you, who among us silenced
00:22:10journalists, who among us tried to attack journalists,
00:22:14investigators of the "Schemes" project, who among us
00:22:17snatched microphones from hands, for example?
00:22:21Who among us filtered the lists of journalists who
00:22:25were allowed into press conferences, and who
00:22:27was not? Who among us wrote posts about what
00:22:30scoundrels such journalists as Yuriy Butusov
00:22:34or Mykhailo Tkach, or Roman Kravets were, because they dared
00:22:38to ask about Andriy Yermak, about the celebration of Andriy
00:22:41Yermak's anniversary, or about Oleh Tatarov. This is terrible, how can
00:22:45one live with such journalists?
00:22:48Well, and, what is interesting.
00:22:52Yulia Mendel, by
00:22:54the way, went to another interview with
00:22:58a former escort and kept woman
00:23:01of rapper Kievstoner, Bagira, I think that's her
00:23:04name, and there she said that she herself asked for
00:23:08an interview with Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson, we remember
00:23:11this interview, he is a person who is
00:23:15a former Fox News person, but now he works as
00:23:19an ultra-right blogger, with such a pro-Russian, pro-Trump bias,
00:23:23and he is certainly very glad to have such hyped-up guests. And there
00:23:26Yulia Mendel, to the delight of Russian propaganda, didn't tell
00:23:30what a drug addict Zelenskyy was, how dishonest he was, what
00:23:34a dishonorable person he was, how scary it was to live with such a president, when
00:23:38we desperately needed peace. Moreover,
00:23:40look, now Yulia Mendel
00:23:44has befriended those alternatives for Germany, she
00:23:48doesn't hide that she is very comfortable with these
00:23:51alternatives for Germany and received from them
00:23:55an
00:23:55invitation
00:24:02to speak in the European Parliament
00:24:05at the invitation of Alternative for Germany about peace in Ukraine, and
00:24:08Yulia Mendel's narratives absolutely
00:24:11coincided with all these
00:24:14narratives that
00:24:17Alternative for Germany itself
00:24:20has long been publishing, about how we
00:24:24need peace, about how Zelenskyy is an obstacle to peace, about
00:24:27how this militaristic rhetoric only
00:24:30hinders,
00:24:33and generally, let's reduce spending on this
00:24:36Ukraine, then everything will be
00:24:39fine, by the way, despite the fact that she
00:24:43they were not officially allowed into the European Parliament, she
00:24:46had a speech there, she had a speech, by the way, via
00:24:50Skype, and in principle, what she wanted
00:24:53to say, she said, so this is also a plan, how to get
00:24:57this political asylum in Berlin, and here, by the way,
00:25:00these escapees, they are very similar
00:25:03to these current opposition members of many
00:25:07of the Russian Federation, when you ate normally from Putin's
00:25:11table, when you worked with Putin, when you were
00:25:14nobody, but thanks to working for Putin, you gained at
00:25:18least some fame,
00:25:21then you fled like a rat abroad, you portray yourself as
00:25:25a Russian opposition member, you essentially don't give a damn
00:25:28how an ordinary average
00:25:31Russian lives, you receive European grants, you receive
00:25:35European support, and you portray yourself as
00:25:37an opposition member, and here is a very similar
00:25:41case
00:25:43of how to flee to the West and not bear any
00:25:46responsibility, I will open certain points.
00:25:50From Yulia Mendel's speech. Ukraine itself
00:25:54hinders the end of the war, refusing allegedly possible
00:25:57agreements with Russia. What
00:25:59agreements with Russia? If... Putin
00:26:03at the meeting with Vidkov and Kushner
00:26:06once again stated that he is not going to conduct
00:26:09negotiations now, he is not going to.
00:26:12Second, military aid from the West is allegedly the reason
00:26:16for the continuation of the war. And this is exactly the
00:26:19repetition of the thesis of this
00:26:21"tsenokhrupaly" (price cruncher),
00:26:24that it is necessary for
00:26:27Germany not to provide aid to Ukraine, and
00:26:31then it will very quickly
00:26:32cease, moreover,
00:26:36look at what he
00:26:38said, that Ukraine should also pay
00:26:42for this alleged undermining of the Nord Stream pipelines by our
00:26:45hands, and that it is necessary to recognize Russia's victory in Ukraine
00:26:49against Ukraine. And so, Yulia Mendel went to her fresh
00:26:52interview and repeated exactly that we must admit that we have already
00:26:56lost this war. Western states and war lobbyists
00:26:59are interested in continuing hostilities. And
00:27:03here too, the work on these
00:27:06conspiratorial theories about
00:27:10there being countries interested in this war continuing in
00:27:13Ukraine, but reality tells us very clearly
00:27:17that the Russian Federation is even
00:27:20expanding this war into Central Europe,
00:27:24and even those leaders and those states
00:27:27that previously were so skeptical or
00:27:30somewhat childish about the Russian-Ukrainian war in
00:27:33Ukraine have already changed
00:27:37their position. For
00:27:39example, Hungary is refusing Russian gas, because it is clear that
00:27:43Russian gas is a very significant lever of influence on your
00:27:47internal politics, and you don't want to be associated again with
00:27:51a dialogue like the one that took place between Viktor Orban and
00:27:54Putin, about "Dear
00:27:57Vladimir Vladimirovich, I will be your rat in the European Union,
00:28:01but give us Russian gas." It's a risk
00:28:04factor, nobody wants Budapest to be occupied
00:28:07again, or for example,
00:28:10when Andrej Babiš, the current
00:28:12Prime Minister of
00:28:15Czech Republic, a person with a very
00:28:18colorful biography, ambiguous, with an ambiguous
00:28:21attitude, ambiguous statements, but even he said that
00:28:25Putin is an aggressor, and we need to help Ukraine, this is a fresh
00:28:28statement, because obviously, he thought it over and decided
00:28:32that he doesn't really want Russian tanks to roll
00:28:36through Prague again, like many years ago, and crush
00:28:40Czech citizens there,
00:28:43or when Patrushev comes out and declares that you
00:28:47know, we decided here that if we
00:28:50attack Poland, then Poland will be ours in two or three
00:28:53days. Did this statement scare sensible
00:28:57Polish politicians? Definitely, Tusk made
00:29:00so many statements that it is necessary to
00:29:03really prepare for hybrid attacks by the Russian Federation,
00:29:07And only Yulia Mendel and her friends from Alternative for Germany
00:29:11say that it's not all
00:29:13so simple.
00:29:15Another quote was that instead of supporting Ukraine's defense,
00:29:19it is necessary to bet on negotiations and diplomacy without
00:29:22a clear emphasis on the conditions that Russia
00:29:25puts forward to Ukraine. So what diplomacy
00:29:29are you missing? Exactly now,
00:29:32diplomacy is being done by Washington, the United States
00:29:36of America, so it cannot be said that the United States
00:29:39of America, even with Donald Trump's team, is a very weak
00:29:43state, absolutely not.
00:29:46They regularly travel to Putin or to Kirill Dmitriev or to
00:29:49other characters to meet and speak diplomatically,
00:29:53even promising certain
00:29:55business deals, the same Kushner
00:29:59and Vidkov, does Putin listen to them? Is
00:30:03he for peace? Absolutely not, because
00:30:06literally the next day after these meetings, Dmitry Peskov comes out and
00:30:10says that, well, look, all
00:30:13these truces, truces,
00:30:16energy truces at sea, it's all great, but we need you to
00:30:20lift sanctions, lift sanctions and everything will be
00:30:23great. It will be
00:30:25great in the event of lifting
00:30:28sanctions against Russia exclusively for Russia, because the Russian
00:30:32Federation will thus receive a lot of liquid money for the continuation
00:30:36of wars against Ukraine and for the sake of preparing
00:30:39for new wars against the rest of
00:30:43its neighbors or those countries it considers its own, including the Baltic countries,
00:30:47and Poland, and by the way, a large part
00:30:50of Central European countries.
00:30:53Another statement by Yulia Mendel: the Ukrainian leadership allegedly deliberately continues
00:30:57the war, benefiting from it.
