00:00:00operations, offensive operations Vivaldi
00:00:03has ended, what is happening
00:00:06now, that is, are we in the process
00:00:09of Vivaldi's fourth season, or
00:00:12the fourth part of Vivaldi's
00:00:15offensive operation, or are there other tasks
00:00:19facing our defense forces that
00:00:22are working in the Lyman direction, and in particular
00:00:26regarding your drone battalion Mara.
00:00:31I hope that our seasons will continue even
00:00:35more successfully, and quite soon we will see
00:00:39Ukraine with all its
00:00:41territory that belongs to us by right. As for
00:00:45the enemy, after the enemy
00:00:49was forced to report the real state of affairs to their command, they
00:00:52began to penetrate more actively
00:00:55in small groups, trying to infiltrate from
00:00:59all directions, but mostly these are small
00:01:03assault groups, they simply with their own
00:01:06infantry units,
00:01:09try to close those sections of the front, infiltrate,
00:01:13fight their way in, show on the map that they are
00:01:16present there, but considering that the kill zone has increased,
00:01:19considering that our defense forces have entrenched themselves
00:01:23in the Lyman direction, in particular our 66th brigade,
00:01:27противника це дуже погано виходить, чому ми...
00:01:30are undoubtedly happy about. They withdraw their forces,
00:01:33units, deploy them, but
00:01:36the fact of how massively and professionally
00:01:40Ukraine is winning this war with fewer resources,
00:01:44well, I think it is very indicative that
00:01:47the Russian people should finally wake up,
00:01:51stop lying to themselves, stop thinking that they are
00:01:54a superpower and simply change
00:01:58their government and, first of all, their way of thinking, because they can
00:02:02come to Ukraine, but they will stay here forever
00:02:05just as Cargo 200.
00:02:08Ms. Olena, your brigade's drone operators showed how they hunt
00:02:12enemy Bayraktars "Lightning". What is the current
00:02:15specifics of this hunt and in that
00:02:19context, yes, which is in the Lyman
00:02:22direction?
00:02:24Lightning carries a very large powerful combat
00:02:27force, and Lightning is usually what flies to
00:02:31front-line cities, where resources and a city that is not
00:02:34on their working map,
00:02:37as their territory, simply becomes a city
00:02:41pretext, it is extremely cruel,
00:02:45it is a violation of all rules of war, so the enemy
00:02:48must be pushed, pushed on the front,
00:02:51pushed economically, but this will not change the
00:02:55fact that they will continue to lie to each other and
00:02:58deceive, and eventually... that his whole operation in
00:03:01Yevvaldi, everything that the Ukrainian defense forces do, it
00:03:05happens so correctly and
00:03:08so professionally, only because there is direct interaction
00:03:12between the commanders of infantry units at
00:03:15their positions and those who directly
00:03:18carry out operational control of the units, because
00:03:22the more honestly you show each other the state of affairs, the
00:03:26more effectively your work on the front is done.
00:03:30Ms. Olena, please tell me, are the Russians managing
00:03:34to recover from these
00:03:36Vivaldi seasons that the Ukrainian
00:03:39defense forces are currently demonstrating, how much have they already
00:03:43come to their senses from this special operation,
00:03:46or let's not call it a special operation, an offensive operation,
00:03:50and are there already any
00:03:53results of this offensive operation
00:03:56that, in principle, the Russians cannot
00:04:00fix, and in principle they have lost
00:04:03the initiative in some areas of the front, and
00:04:06accordingly, obviously, this greatly affects the entire front line,
00:04:10the eastern front,
00:04:14the fact that they have become more demoralized is
00:04:16a fact, the fact that they have a large resource that they are pulling
00:04:20here, and their military personnel have no
00:04:23possibility not to execute an order, is also a fact, that is, Russia
00:04:27plays with those levers where they simply... with people,
00:04:31with their people, cover those areas of the front where they
00:04:34are really losing, they also rotate their
00:04:38forces, withdraw units, deploy
00:04:41them, but the fact
00:04:44of how massively and professionally Ukraine is winning this
00:04:48war with fewer resources, well, I think
00:04:51it is very indicative that the Russian people should finally
00:04:55wake up, stop lying to themselves,
00:04:59stop thinking that they are a
00:05:02superpower and simply change
00:05:05their government and, first of all, their way of thinking, because they can come to Ukraine, but they
00:05:09will stay here forever just as
00:05:12Cargo 200. Ms. Olena, your brigade's drone operators
00:05:16showed how they hunt enemy Bayraktars
00:05:19"Lightning". What is the current specifics of this
00:05:23hunt and in that context, yes, which
00:05:26is in the Lyman direction?
00:05:30Lightning carries a very large powerful combat
00:05:33force, and Lightning is usually what flies to
00:05:37front-line cities, where people continue to live, so
00:05:40the task of our brigade... and in particular, to destroy all
00:05:44these enemy UAVs on their approach
00:05:47to front-line cities. First
00:05:50of all, this work becomes so significant
00:05:53due to the great professionalism of the pilots, because the lightning
00:05:57is more maneuverable and faster than the means by which
00:06:00it is shot down, it is the skill, the experience
00:06:03of the pilot, and it is the desire of every
00:06:07serviceman of our brigade to bring victory
00:06:10closer, plus it is not worth it. forgetting that there are large
00:06:14workshops of people who improve every
00:06:17aircraft that
00:06:20shoots down everything that flies from the Russian
00:06:24Federation, from the occupied territories, to our cities.
00:06:28Thank you, Ms. Olena, for your conversation and your
00:06:31comments. This was Olena Rozvadovska, Chief of
00:06:35Staff of the Mara Drone Battalion, 66th
00:06:38Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Prince Mstislav.
00:06:42Good, we talked to her about the situation in the Lyman
00:06:45direction, the offensive operation in Vivaldi continues, well
00:06:49and accordingly we were interested to hear how
00:06:52the Russians react to this
00:06:55offensive operation and how it affects the eastern
00:06:58front, and of course, we will continue
00:07:01to talk about the important
00:07:05situation on the front, but now we will talk
00:07:09about the global situation. about what is happening in the world, in particular in
00:07:12the United States of America and in Washington.
00:07:16Yuriy Bohdanov, political scientist, expert
00:07:19in strategic communications and partner
00:07:23of the Truman company,
00:07:32principle, the top news that Donald Trump produced,
00:07:36but for now this news is not
00:07:39confirmed, only Ukraine confirms it,
00:07:42Russia claims that Russia and
00:07:46Ukraine agreed to an immediate energy truce, this statement
00:07:50was made in the evening of October 11 in Ukraine,
00:07:53meaning, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy has already managed
00:07:56to react to this statement, he said that
00:08:00Ukraine is ready not to strike Russian
00:08:03energy infrastructure, and we expect similar readiness from Russia. Let's listen to what
00:08:07the Ukrainian president said.
00:08:11There is a statement from the President of the States that
00:08:14an energy ceasefire has been achieved. This
00:08:18is good news for everyone. It is important that
00:08:21this becomes part of reality. Ukraine
00:08:25supports all real and reliable formats
00:08:28for a ceasefire and an end to the
00:08:30war. Ukraine is ready not to strike
00:08:34Russian energy infrastructure and
00:08:37we count on similar readiness
00:08:40from Russia. And on the agreement of the President
00:08:44of the United States of America, regarding this,
00:08:47we, we welcome such
00:08:49an agreement,
00:08:52a representative of the White House in an interview with Axios has already said, unnamed, anonymous, that
00:08:56an energy truce in
00:08:59Trump's understanding means that Russia and Ukraine
00:09:02will stop attacks only on oil refineries
00:09:06of each other, and that is what is expected from Ukraine, well, in this
00:09:10case it sounds a bit strange when Ukraine has
00:09:13one refinery and that one is not working, Kremenchuk,
00:09:16and it is clear that in this case
00:09:19Trump is selling some candy wrapper, where there
00:09:22is actually no candy, but he shows
00:09:26this wrapper to everyone, is that
00:09:28so, well, how it
00:09:31seems to me, of course, Donald Trump, because
00:09:34I remind you that he has already ended the war against
00:09:38Iran about 98 times, and
00:09:41with his victory, of course, which doesn't smell like it, as they say,
00:09:45it seems to me that all this Trump's hysteria that we have been observing in recent days, it
00:09:48literally demonstrates two things: first, that
00:09:51he is in a very bad position in the elections, that is, he
00:09:55obviously loses to the Democrats, and for him it will be
00:09:58a catastrophe if he loses both
00:10:01chambers of Congress, accordingly,
00:10:04this is actually total power, and I
00:10:07think that considering his activities, the threat of impeachment
00:10:10is already there, secondly, it is obvious that
00:10:12he convinced himself, or the Russians convinced him, here it is
00:10:16already a matter of such, well, and he trusts Putin very much,
00:10:20that literally Ukrainian strikes on... interfere
00:10:23with
00:10:26him winning the elections,
00:10:29such a quite convenient for him wishful thinking, that is, not his
00:10:33talentless politics interferes, but the fact that Ukrainians hit Russian
00:10:37oil, and accordingly this is superimposed by a dislike for
00:10:41Ukraine, and we know that Donald Trump is not exactly a big fan of our
00:10:44country, because he obviously prefers
00:10:48dictatorships, like Putin's, for example, and this is what we
00:10:51see, as Roman Shrike would say,
00:10:55let's say what he said, but such a stream of absolute wild
00:10:58nonsense from Trump, and these
00:11:01this proposal
00:11:04"let's have an energy truce" - this will be what we tell you will be a truce, no,
00:11:08of course, Ukraine will not approve of this, Zelenskyy very clearly,
00:11:11it seems to me, outlined what exactly we consider an Antarctic
00:11:14truce, I think that one way or another
00:11:18the strikes will continue, both Ukrainian on Russia, and Russian on
00:11:21Ukraine, if honestly, at this moment I don't see any
00:11:25serious arguments from Donald Trump that could convince
00:11:28Ukraine to abandon strikes on Russia, his threats that he will not sell
00:11:32us weapons, well, excuse me, if we
00:11:35weigh what is more valuable for us, obviously now destroying
00:11:39Russian military capability is much more valuable, because Trump sells
00:11:42crumbs, and in fact we understand
00:11:46that we need to endure these three weeks diplomatically,
00:11:50politically, because after that the situation for Trump will sharply worsen, we
00:11:53see how hard his specific speakers tried, even
00:11:57yesterday's Trumpists,
00:12:00who supported Trump throughout the war, who supported even
00:12:03his most idiotic statements regarding the idea of a deal with Putin
00:12:06are quite skeptical. Laura Loomer can be
00:12:10quoted, who literally said that sponsoring Putin is
00:12:13sponsoring Iran, sponsoring Iran is sponsoring the killing of American
00:12:17soldiers. It seems to me that this is, so
00:12:20to speak, a big mistake by Trump, and we
00:12:23mainly, considering that in some matters we
00:12:27depend, must very carefully
00:12:29maneuver so that we endure until the elections, after the elections, I
00:12:33think, the Trump administration will behave a little differently,
00:12:36plus in six days there will be a turning
00:12:40point regarding the Dmitriev
00:12:43law, and, oh my God, Dmitriev, Graham
00:12:46Blumenthal, I'm already confusing Americans and Russians, it seems not
00:12:50very strange in these circumstances, and maybe then we
00:12:54will see that... well, a wave from Congress, from the House
00:12:57of Representatives and the Senate, regarding pressure on Trump, plus yesterday there was a statement
00:13:01from congressmen from both chambers that they will
00:13:04register, well, a resolution, so to speak, to
00:13:08block Trump's actions, in short, we will observe, our
00:13:11main task here is not to concede on principle, of course, no
00:13:15truce for the oil refinery, in exchange for the oil refinery, we should
00:13:18not agree, what can be here,
00:13:21we need to live these two weeks, first of all, until the elections and... until
00:13:25the election results, and what else to expect, what statements from
00:13:28Trump, that's a big question. Currently there is a reaction from the European
00:13:32Union, they said that they support Ukraine's call for
00:13:35an energy truce, Ursula von der Leyen, in particular, said
00:13:38this, and Macron, the President of France, said that
00:13:41France unreservedly supports the call for
00:13:44a real energy truce, to which Ukraine is ready
00:13:48to agree. Is Russia ready
00:13:51for a real truce, an energy one, if not an oil refinery for an
00:13:54oil refinery? Because it is obvious that Ukraine is not profitable here, or can anything
00:13:57be profitable here for Russia, or is actually none
00:14:01of these formats or options currently profitable for
00:14:04Russia?
00:14:06Vladimir Putin can agree, perhaps, to a truce that will help
00:14:10his friend Trump, that is, conditionally to stop firing for two weeks,
00:14:14it is obvious that Putin is betting heavily on the escalation of anti-Ukrainian
00:14:17energy, it is obvious that he is betting heavily on the fact that with such
00:14:21strikes he will be able to achieve the goals
00:14:23of the war, and... and break the Ukrainian rear, because it is obvious that
00:14:27he cannot break the Ukrainian front, but he can try to break the Ukrainian rear,
00:14:31this may be Putin's logic, as for, and accordingly I do not see
00:14:34reasons why he will stop his strikes for the winter, it is obvious that they
00:14:38are very important for him, therefore, and plus,
00:14:41again, he is probing escalation against the Baltic countries, he is trying
00:14:45to find other ways to pressure
00:14:48Ukraine, it is obvious that he will not agree to an energy
00:14:52truce in the near future, nor to any other. And in
00:14:55principle, yesterday many tried to criticize Zelenskyy for saying
00:14:59that if we get 60 days of peace we will hold elections, but here
00:15:02the question is that it is obvious that this is Trump's
00:15:06mirroring, he tells Trump, "Trump, well, convince your friend
00:15:09Putin to give up
00:15:13the war for two months, and you will have elections," but
00:15:16we perfectly understand, and the president perfectly understands that there will be no truce
00:15:20for 60 days, because for Putin this is an extremely dangerous story,
00:15:24obviously and... Considering that he is trying
00:15:27to escalate against Europe, against Ukraine. In the rear,
00:15:30he launches billions of his bots, although already, thanks to Twitter, on
00:15:34Yandex, much less, which says that we must urgently
00:15:37surrender and flee our country, but it is obvious that he
00:15:41does not expect any de-escalation, so the only thing that
00:15:44Putin can try to do thanks to Trump, who is obviously
00:15:47intellectually not very
00:15:50capable, is to pressure Ukraine so
00:15:53that Ukraine is blamed for the war continuing. This is obviously
00:15:57the plan that Vladimir Putin is pushing, and
00:16:01no reconciliation, truce, or anything else
00:16:04is currently in sight, honestly, I really don't know what
00:16:08Trump needs to do to finally understand this quite
00:16:12obvious truth, that is, well, we are really very sorry
00:16:15that the American president is such as he is, that is, he does not really understand
00:16:18elementary things, but nevertheless, yes, he continues
00:16:22to believe in something that definitely will not happen, and there will be no truce, there will
00:16:26be no reconciliation, and at the moment, Putin
00:16:29will continue his war, because he doesn't have many
00:16:33other options, he either has to win this
00:16:36war, or... there will be many questions why he is still on
00:16:39as president of Russia, and I think that today
00:16:43there are no opportunities for
00:16:46the conflict to be ended. Mr. Yuriy, you have already mentioned
00:16:50the remark, or Trump's
00:16:53statement, that it's time for Ukraine
00:16:56to get a new president of Ukraine who will be able
00:17:00to negotiate with Russia, and let's say that this statement was made
00:17:04immediately after Zelenskyy commented on
00:17:07Trump's actions regarding diesel fuel
00:17:11that is going to the United
00:17:14States of America, or is going, let's say
00:17:17so, across the ocean from Russia. Let's hear what
00:17:21the President of the United States of America said about the upcoming
00:17:25presidential elections in Ukraine and how
00:17:28necessary they are
00:17:29for Ukrainians.
00:17:33I told him: do whatever you want, but don't touch
00:17:36the oil refineries. There are countless other targets, and yet he
00:17:39took this step and strikes, this has
00:17:42cascading consequences, his actions will affect not only our
00:17:46farmers or livestock breeders, they will affect the whole world, this must
00:17:50be stopped, he better stop.
00:17:53Ukraine needs a new leader who is capable of making
00:17:56a deal. Zelenskyy had many opportunities to agree,
00:18:00but for some reason he never did
00:18:02that. President Zelenskyy replied, if
00:18:06there is a truce for 60 days, during this time Ukraine can hold elections,
00:18:09although according to current legislation this is impossible, because there
00:18:13is a 90-day period for holding elections, and these elections
00:18:17cannot be held if there is martial law, that is,
00:18:20a state of martial law in Ukraine, or
00:18:24martial law. How to decipher what
00:18:28Trump is doing now, that is, can this be considered interference in
00:18:31the internal affairs of Ukraine, because well, Ukraine
00:18:34ultimately decides when to hold
00:18:37elections and whether Ukrainians need Zelenskyy or not,
00:18:41regardless of whether
00:18:44we need Trump or not, we can also
00:18:47turn to the Americans and say, well, the United
00:18:51States of America needs a new president who will not be able to negotiate
00:18:54with Russia, will protect the interests of democracy around
00:18:58the world, why does Trump actually torpedo, why does he
00:19:02torpedo Zelenskyy with these elections,
00:19:05which, well... which in the current conditions are simply
00:19:09impossible to hold.
00:19:12It seems to me that if Volodymyr Zelenskyy wanted to pay someone
00:19:15to help him with his rating, there would not have
00:19:19been another figure, well, another such
00:19:22effective opportunity. It seems to me that with his statement
00:19:25Trump has boosted Zelenskyy's rating more than
00:19:29one could even imagine, that is, it seems to me that this is a great gift for
00:19:33Volodymyr Oleksandrovych, when Ukrainians
00:19:36react very adequately to any such pressure
00:19:39from outside and perceive it hostilely, so
00:19:42Zelenskyy was very lucky with this statement, frankly, and now
00:19:46all people who demand elections are in solidarity with a person
00:19:49who, well, is a friend of Vladimir Putin,
00:19:53obviously, and if honestly, I think that this
00:19:56Trump's approach, it is more about his psycho-emotional state, that is, we
00:20:00constantly try, very often try to attribute
00:20:03to Trump an aura of a cunning politician,
00:20:06no. It is obvious that he does not understand what is happening,
00:20:10it is obvious that he talks a lot of nonsense, constantly
00:20:13generates this nonsense, lies, and
00:20:17to take his words at face value, well, it would be quite
00:20:20Trump is obviously just a lying creature who is trying to win
00:20:24elections at any cost, and for one reason only, because
00:20:28losing the elections is fatally dangerous for Trump in a political sense,
00:20:31because it is obvious that now his actions both in
00:20:35America itself and beyond its borders will be under very close
00:20:39scrutiny, so it seems to me that Trump clings to any
00:20:43opportunity to stay in power,
00:20:46control Congress, because he needs it for political
00:20:50survival, and I think that here we need to correctly
00:20:53assess this, this pressure on Zelenskyy will obviously not work, because
00:20:57well, no one in Ukraine,
00:20:59even people who previously made statements about elections,
00:21:02except for complete marginals, did not support Trump's statement, because
00:21:06obviously how would you look against this background, so I think that now
00:21:09the main thing for us is to understand that we have a deadline of
00:21:13November 3, and to hold out until then,
00:21:16yes, it is desirable, of course, to avoid direct confrontation with Trump, and...
00:21:20but if we understand that we still need
00:21:23to hit Russian energy infrastructure, the
00:21:26defense forces have found another target, this
00:21:29is the Samara oil distribution center, the largest in
00:21:32the world, it seems, well, one of the largest in the world, there have already been four successful
00:21:36attacks, we continue to hit it, and I am convinced that in case
00:21:40the energy truce is not complete,
00:21:43that is, if Russia does not abandon strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and
00:21:47critical infrastructure, Ukraine must not only continue
00:21:51to intensify strikes on oil refineries and
00:21:54oil infrastructure in Russia, because Trump is obviously not
00:21:58adequate, and there are no reasons
00:22:01to listen to him and help him win the elections. We have
00:22:05a statement from German Chancellor
00:22:09supports Volodymyr Zelenskyy as president
00:22:12of Ukraine. Donald Tusk assured Ukraine of
00:22:15support, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs
00:22:18of Ukraine, Mr. Andriy Sybiha, in
00:22:21response to this thesis, emphasized that the Ukrainian people
00:22:24support President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We can now hear
00:22:28him.
00:22:31President Zelenskyy leads our nation in times of war, a war
00:22:34for independence, freedom and dignity. He has the support
00:22:38of the Ukrainian people, and it is the people who have the right to decide.
00:22:42Statements from abroad only confirm that he is doing
00:22:45his job well. He deserves
00:22:48support. Elon Musk
00:22:50reposted a tweet from Donald Trump's statement
00:22:54with the call that Ukraine needs elections, you have already
00:22:57noted that this plays into the hands of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, because indeed
00:23:01Ukrainians are consolidating, protecting themselves, actually, and
00:23:05around the personality or
00:23:08the office of the President of Ukraine, yes, in this sense,
00:23:11don't they calculate in Washington in the White House
00:23:15the probable course of events, that with such
00:23:18statements, in essence, they somewhat boost the rating
00:23:22of the Ukrainian president, so why does all this actually sound
00:23:25for the consolidation of the Ukrainian people?
00:23:28There must be some investment in unity, I will only
00:23:31comment that, of course, the question is not
00:23:35about the personality of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the question is about
00:23:38the institution, it is obvious that by attacking Zelenskyy now, they are attacking
00:23:42the institution and attacking unfairly. Here, again, the question is
00:23:45that I would not particularly look for logic in Trump's actions, because he is a very
00:23:49emotional... person, first of all, secondly, he is obviously not very smart,
00:23:53and the fact that he was lucky to get power does not mean that he will continue
00:23:56to manage it rationally, because if we even look at the chances
00:24:00of the Republican party, as it was estimated a year ago, to win
00:24:04many representatives and the Senate, that is, to retain many representatives and get
00:24:07the Senate, then both indicators were over 90%, but
00:24:11Donald Trump, with his undoubtedly talented policy in
00:24:13the benches, absolutely, well, again, we can now
00:24:16look for logic in the attack on Iran. Yes, okay, we don't need
00:24:20the regimes of Aatoll, but it was clear that if you don't overthrow
00:24:24him by military force, America didn't have enough forces to overthrow
00:24:28him by military force, there will be an oil crisis, here we see an oil
00:24:31crisis, we see record prices for fuel, of course, one can think
00:24:35that Trump wanted to help Putin, but it is unlikely that he still thinks first
00:24:39and foremost about himself, and accordingly, now, when he has, due to
00:24:42the rise in fuel prices, due to failed domestic policy, due to an unnecessary war,
00:24:46he actually has chances to lose both chambers, then this simply speaks about
00:24:49his level of qualification and the level of his political
00:24:52capability, because if you won the elections, and Trump obviously won
00:24:56the elections based on protest, on dissatisfaction with old elites,
00:25:00well, Volodymyr Zelensky himself won
00:25:03will be able to be
00:25:06a competent leader, sometimes it happens, or you will be able to
00:25:10be eternally popular, so with the fact system, no, no system
00:25:13of hazardous assets, obviously he, obviously he
00:25:16is suffering a serious political collapse, obviously. he will lose
00:25:20the upcoming elections, and therefore he
00:25:23is looking for any historical opportunities to shift
00:25:26responsibility. We remember that strange campaign when they started
00:25:29saying that oil prices are so
00:25:33high and Brazil is so expensive because
00:25:36Ukraine allegedly bombs
00:25:39oil refineries, and not because Trump's actions blocked a quarter
00:25:42of the world's oil industry, well, when he started the war with
00:25:45Iran, they were looking for opportunities to shift responsibility,
00:25:49now. the moment has simply come when the elections are closer, and
00:25:53it is necessary to do this intensively, because well, it is obvious that they will lose,
00:25:56it is obvious that there is a 90% probability
00:25:59of losing the Senate, yesterday there were the last polls in
00:26:03Texas, in Texas a Democrat senator is leading,
00:26:07that is, well, it's really
00:26:09simply brilliant, that is, Donald Trump is simply a political genius
00:26:13who achieved the impossible, he risks
00:26:16losing the Senate in Texas and
00:26:19in Kansas, in two states where Democrats have not
00:26:22won for 60-80 years, that is,
00:26:26this is the result of his policy, and therefore, of course, we may, when we see how
00:26:30he literally saves his rating. We know how many
00:26:34scandals there were around the entourage of the President of Ukraine, we know how many
00:26:38claims there were against the President of Ukraine, and mostly these were quite well-founded
00:26:41claims regarding the corruption of his entourage, well, this
00:26:45testifies to the level, the scale of personality,
00:26:48the political talent of Donald Trump, he did the impossible, and in
00:26:51principle, we really need to survive him, because he can
00:26:54do a lot of stupid things, and harm Ukraine, but we need to just
00:26:58endure his time, because objectively speaking...
00:27:02yes, we won't be able to get rid of him
00:27:05in any other way than impeachment or defeat in elections, but
00:27:08we must understand that there is really little left,
00:27:12and we just need to do everything possible to minimize
00:27:15the harm from his actions. Mr. Yuriy, in Poland, a special
00:27:19meeting of representatives of law enforcement agencies and special services took place due to
00:27:22information received by the police about a possible assassination attempt on Prime Minister
00:27:26Donald Tusk and Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of National
00:27:29Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
00:27:32Let's listen to what the spokesman for the Minister
00:27:36Coordinator of Special Services Jacek Dobrzyński says about
00:27:39the high probability of threats being carried out against Prime Minister
00:27:43Tusk.
00:27:46Regardless of whether it concerns police officers or
00:27:49employees of the State Protection Service. We
00:27:52treat this matter with extreme seriousness.
00:27:56The radicalization of youth, which we have talked so much about over the last
00:28:00week, the radicalization of adults. threats
00:28:03of various kinds, some of which later turn out to be meaningless
00:28:06jokes, but in this case we are talking about a high
00:28:09probability of these threats actually
00:28:12being carried out. On October 10, the Minister
00:28:16of Internal Affairs of Poland, Marcin Kierwiński, announced on social network
00:28:20X that a suspect in
00:28:23planning an assassination attempt on the country's Prime Minister
00:28:26Donald Tusk had been detained. Well, observing what
00:28:29is happening in our neighbors and in...
00:28:32Poland, in particular, can we say that
00:28:35these events, which
00:28:38concern
00:28:40assassination attempts, planning of assassination attempts, threats, public,
00:28:43non-public threats, that all this leads
00:28:47to one place, to the Kremlin, to the Russians, and
00:28:50that for the Russians, this is part of their war against Europe,
00:28:54in such a hybrid variant, when they
00:28:57intimidate, spread different information, hire different
00:29:01people who provoke
00:29:03within countries that are part of the North Atlantic Alliance, to
00:29:07destabilize countries that influence
00:29:11aid to Ukraine.
00:29:14Yes, absolutely, that's how it is, so we need to understand that not everything that happens in
00:29:18the world is done by Russians, but if we are talking about hybrid warfare
00:29:22and about, specifically
00:29:25cognitive,
00:29:27of course, Russia is the main acting force, and it is obvious that
00:29:31Russians invest... a lot of money in
00:29:34European far-right, European
00:29:37radicals of various, various degrees,
00:29:40precisely because this is their asset, and almost all
00:29:44parties that we can associate with Moscow, and these are mostly
00:29:47far-right parties, they are indeed, one way or
00:29:50another, pro-Russian, or openly Russian, and
00:29:54we must understand that Russia, yes, indeed, in Europe there is a demand
00:29:57for greater popularity
00:30:00of far-right forces and... including for this there are
00:30:04many economic preconditions, preconditions of social
00:30:08instability, social inequality, because
00:30:11the impoverishment of the European middle class has very seriously
00:30:15contributed to this plague that we are now
00:30:18observing across Europe, but Russians, of course, do everything
00:30:21possible to incite enmity and hatred, and as we see, in
00:30:25Poland, it all started with the hatred of some not very
00:30:29adequate far-rightists towards Ukrainians, and it moved on to...
00:30:32in fact, threats of political terror against their own
00:30:35elites, and this is indeed a problem, that is, it is obvious that if
00:30:39people there, I don't know, are radically minded, I don't
00:30:43know, don't like Tusk, well, actually
00:30:45who cares, that's political submission, if they at
00:30:48the same time want to attack their own institutions,
00:30:52the Prime Minister or the Minister of Defense, these are the political institutions
00:30:56on which the survival of the Polish state depends.
