00:00:10Good morning, it's 7 o'clock, I invite you to watch
00:00:13the news. At the security forum in Warsaw,
00:00:17the Commander of NATO forces in Europe will for the first time
00:00:20publicly present a theory of victory called the Eastern
00:00:23Flank Defense Plan. Although the exact details
00:00:26of the plan are classified, media reports suggest that
00:00:30the alliance, by combining traditional and next-generation
00:00:34warfare capabilities, drones, artificial intelligence, and
00:00:37other inexpensive means, would seek to urgently
00:00:40stop a Russian offensive against allied territory.
00:00:44Once this is done, allied forces plan to destroy enemy
00:00:47command, communication, intelligence, and targeting
00:00:51systems, if necessary, even in the aggressor's territory, until
00:00:55victory is achieved. The plan also highlights the goal of repelling
00:00:58Russian hybrid attacks. However, it is emphasized that the alliance itself
00:01:02will avoid any provocative actions. The main
00:01:05goal is to convince that if deterrence fails, NATO has
00:01:09a real and implementable plan
00:01:11to win.
00:01:14One of the things I would like to emphasize is that NATO is
00:01:17a defensive alliance, therefore our theory of victory
00:01:21is based on a strategy that we call denial of access and freedom
00:01:24of action. They are consistent with the overall alliance
00:01:28strategy to deter
00:01:30and defend in the Euro-Atlantic area. Essentially,
00:01:34the denial strategy means that the opponent needs to be deprived
00:01:37of the ability to achieve their goals, whatever
00:01:40they may be. And essentially, that says it all. This
00:01:44is how we defined victory. If we can stop
00:01:47the opponent and prevent them from doing what they intend
00:01:50to do, then we achieve our goal.
00:01:53Especially considering that we are a defensive alliance. That
00:01:57is our goal. The opponent
00:02:00controls our territory and cannot
00:02:04strike our facilities. victory looks like.
00:02:08With increasing attacks on ships in the Black Sea, shipping
00:02:11companies warn that due to increased risk, the price of
00:02:14cargo shipping is also rising. Last week, near
00:02:18the coast of Bulgaria, drones hit at least a couple
00:02:21of ships. The circumstances are still being investigated, but experts
00:02:24say that such incidents deter companies from sailing the Black
00:02:28Sea. An empty, burned-out ship
00:02:31frame has been drifting uncontrollably since August. In a few months,
00:02:35it approached the border of Romania and Bulgaria
00:02:38from the coast of Odesa. A local fisherman, spotting it and driven by curiosity,
00:02:42decided to inspect it closely. The ship's captain's bridge was completely
00:02:46burned out. I am 100% sure that people were burning there.
00:02:50According to the fisherman, the damage to the deck and elsewhere suggests that the ship
00:02:53was hit by at least five or six drones. Such a fate
00:02:57befalls ships sailing in the Black Sea more and
00:03:00more often. Bulgarian authorities are also increasingly being called
00:03:03to inspect damaged ships. The last time was last week, when
00:03:07drones hit two ships near the country's coast.
00:03:11One sank, and after inspecting the other, it was not possible
00:03:14to determine who and what exactly hit it.
00:03:18It took half an hour to inspect the ship, we went through all the floors above deck.
00:03:22We did not find any unusual traces, anything unusual for this ship.
00:03:25The entire inside is burned out and
00:03:26melted.
00:03:30The most striking were the holes and damage in the ship itself, they were
00:03:33observed at the stern of the ship, in the cabins, as well as in the control systems and
00:03:36engines. The country's prime minister says there is
00:03:40reason to suspect one country, but evidence allowing
00:03:43a final conclusion is lacking.
00:03:47It is indeed believed that the drone was Ukrainian, but it is equally
00:03:50possible that it was Russian. Such images
00:03:53do not please either ship owners or the companies that purchase their services.
00:03:56According to experts, since the start of the Russian invasion
00:04:00of Ukraine, almost 200 ships have been damaged by strikes
00:04:03in the Black and Azov Seas. Parts of the Black
00:04:07Sea have been declared a war risk zone, and the danger
00:04:10of transporting cargo there, some experts compare to that experienced by ships
00:04:14sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. The very
00:04:18real risk of hitting a mine or being hit by a drone,
00:04:21intentionally or accidentally, forces ship owners to stay away from
00:04:25the Black Sea.
00:04:27The Bulgarian minister does not currently see threats to commercial shipping and, importantly,
00:04:31grain exports. So
00:04:35far, the situation is calm, no ship sailing to or from Bulgaria
00:04:38has been prohibited from entering or leaving. Let's hope that this will continue.
00:04:41But the high risk forces both shipping companies and the
00:04:44companies that use their services to calculate
00:04:48costs.
00:04:50Depending on the client, insurance costs approximately between one and
00:04:542% of the ship's value. And when the ship's value reaches
00:04:5730-40 million, you can imagine
00:05:00what the weekly insurance cost is, someone has to pay it
00:05:04to the client whose cargo we transport,
00:05:07especially as warnings that Russia may increasingly
00:05:11resort to provocations to destabilize
00:05:13do not subside.
00:05:15President Gitanas Nausėda expresses condolences for
00:05:19the death of journalist Henrikas Vaitiekūnas. According to the head of state,
00:05:22Vaitiekūnas, a legendary journalist, knew how to look
00:05:25at everyday life with gentle humor, and at difficult life
00:05:29challenges with wisdom and faith. Vaitiekūnas
00:05:33died at the age of 78.
00:05:35During his career, he worked in various newspapers, magazines,
00:05:39wrote on social and journalistic topics, and lectured
00:05:42at Vilnius University. Henrikas Vaitiekūnas was
00:05:45a long-time LRT employee, worked as a reporter
00:05:48in the Panorama editorial office, hosted Good Morning, Good Afternoon Lithuania,
00:05:52and created various television programs. He did not abandon
00:05:55journalism even after retiring from active professional life. He
00:05:59also worked as a member of the republican council of the Animal Welfare Society,
00:06:03and was a member of the volunteer society's
00:06:05council.
00:06:10The Vilnius District Municipality Council will again
00:06:13consider a proposal to rename streets named after the Polish cleric Henryk
00:06:17Gulbinowicz, who was punished for pedophilia. The last time
00:06:20this could not be done because the faction of the Electoral Action of Poles
00:06:24in Lithuania did not attend the meeting, so there were not enough
00:06:26council members. The mayor of Vilnius District Municipality, Robertas
00:06:30Duchnevičius, then expressed regret about the failed meeting and
00:06:34stated that politicians should respect the work of others, regardless of political
00:06:38views. The street is proposed to be renamed after local politician
00:06:41Gabrielius Janas Mincevičius and Buivydžiai.
00:06:44The municipal council considered renaming the streets in April and
00:06:48February. Both times, politicians refused to make such
00:06:51a decision.
00:06:56Today, heating will be turned on in buildings in Vilnius city and district, and
00:07:00Panevėžys city with non-automated heat
00:07:03points. There are approximately about
00:07:06a few percent of all heated buildings
00:07:09in the capital. Panevėžys municipality
00:07:13announces that heating will be supplied from today to the city's budgetary institutions,
00:07:17enterprises, organizations, and other heat
00:07:19consumers. Several other municipalities are also planning
00:07:23to turn on heating. This year, with the entry into force of new
00:07:26regulations, the heating season officially began
00:07:29on October
00:07:301st.
00:07:34More in-depth weather news, stay

00:10:39"Energy ceasefire is news to me," stated Ukrainian President Volodymyr
00:10:43Zelensky, but added that if the Russians agree to an energy
00:10:47ceasefire, Ukraine will also agree. United States
00:10:51President Donald Trump announced in a brief
00:10:53statement on Sunday and Ukraine had agreed to stop
00:10:57striking each other's energy infrastructure. Various remarks
00:11:01certainly weren't lacking this weekend after Trump
00:11:04stated that Ukraine needed new elections. We will
00:11:08discuss this now. Good morning, we are joined live
00:11:12by political scientist Alvydas Medalinskas. Good morning. Good morning, Mr.
00:11:15Medalinskas, such exchanges
00:11:18are probably not the first time
00:11:21in relations between Ukraine and the United States, but...
00:11:25yesterday's announcement that there is a ceasefire, says Donald
00:11:28Trump, one of the parties, Volodymyr Zelensky says, well, that's
00:11:32news to me. How normal is that from your perspective?
00:11:35Here, it's not the exchange of words that is
00:11:38most important, the most important thing is actually the fact that
00:11:42perhaps for the first time, I don't know if there has
00:11:46ever been such a thing in history, that there is a leader of a Western
00:11:49state who does not answer for his words and
00:11:53whose words can be
00:11:55both serious and then have some consequences, but can also be
00:11:59simply said in such a way that after a few minutes,
00:12:03completely different phrases will be said, and in this sense,
00:12:06there is practically little reliability
00:12:10left in the words of a politician, and this
00:12:13was shown by precisely the situation with this, you see, so-called
00:12:17energy, energy ceasefire, when it is solemnly
00:12:20announced on social networks that here is an energy ceasefire,
00:12:24and... "a means
00:12:27Moscow after a couple of hours attacks
00:12:31Kharkiv and, in particular, the power plant
00:12:34in Kharkiv, and Ukraine says, yes, we also don't know
00:12:37about this, but of course we can adhere to it, but on the other hand, this
00:12:41weekend there was another thing, that was the diesel
00:12:45deal, which was also very, very strange, because, well,
00:12:49the fact itself is strange, that deal means
00:12:52a with the aggressor, a deal is being made
00:12:56that give diesel, the most powerful Western
00:12:59state asks for diesel
00:13:03from Russia, but another
00:13:06thing is that that deal is being concluded at exactly the same
00:13:10time as a Ukrainian
00:13:12negotiation group is meeting in America,
00:13:16a fairly high-ranking one, true, President Zelensky was not there, but there were
00:13:20other very high-ranking officials, and plus
00:13:23European, in that sense, a... high-ranking officials,
00:13:26advisors to heads of state, and suddenly
00:13:29this came as a complete surprise to them, and it's obvious that in such a situation, you
00:13:33can no longer know what is real, what is not real,
00:13:37and of course, I understand that such
00:13:40political games, well, maybe we are entering a completely new era
00:13:44over the past few years, they can be
00:13:47played in some sense, but you need
00:13:50to understand that such political games, such political elections,
00:13:55political games are played at a time
00:13:58when a terrible war is taking place
00:14:02in Ukraine, and I will remind you that already
00:14:05on September, I believe, 14th,
00:14:07in mid-September, there was already such
00:14:11a statement that there is an energy ceasefire
00:14:14and there wasn't one, so now we will probably count those
00:14:18statements about those ceasefires probably as many
00:14:21times as Trump has stated that Iran surrenders
00:14:25and ended the war, because there were even more
00:14:28such statements. Donald Trump also stated that
00:14:32Ukraine should have new elections, and Zelensky replied
00:14:35that if you announce a ceasefire, okay, we will have
00:14:39those presidential elections, and
00:14:41the diesel agreement, which you just mentioned,
00:14:45all of this is happening in the United States as the midterm elections
00:14:49approach, and some experts say that this is precisely why Donald Trump
00:14:52is, well, throwing out such statements, while another
00:14:56group of experts notes that even Donald Trump's party
00:14:59colleagues, well, seem to express disapproval and
00:15:02strong disapproval of such diesel agreements? Indeed,
00:15:06even Republican supporters were shocked
00:15:09after this diesel
00:15:12agreement, especially after the requirement, when the details became
00:15:16clear, not to attack oil
00:15:19and energy facilities in Russian
00:15:22territory, because, well, there is a war, in that sense. Russia
00:15:25is attacking, so that means Russia can attack
00:15:29energy facilities in Ukraine,
00:15:32and now Kyiv was in darkness practically
00:15:34for the past
00:15:37few days, but Ukraine cannot, so in this
00:15:41sense there is a lot
00:15:43of illogicality, now if we attribute everything
00:15:47to elections, it won't be true at all, because
00:15:50in fact this tendency that statements are made
00:15:54on various issues from
00:15:57the White House over the past
00:16:01few years, and then you have to check every time whether it's really true or
00:16:04not, or whether it just popped into someone's head and they stated it.
00:16:08Maybe a statement is made to stir up
00:16:11stock prices, and then someone profits from those stock
00:16:14games, from the rise and fall of stock prices,
00:16:18and also makes money even during wartime,
00:16:21so these are the constant questions not even related to
00:16:24elections. As for elections, indeed, I
00:16:27think that in this context, the so-called peace
00:16:31process that has begun, more precisely, its resumption
00:16:34from September, after complete
00:16:38silence, when Ukraine was being battered by
00:16:40Russia, already in the summer, and as I call
00:16:43that moment "summer blindness," which had
00:16:47a very huge price for Ukraine,
00:16:50now those
00:16:52trips by Vitkov
00:16:55and Kushner not only to Moscow but also to Kyiv,
00:16:58I do not rule out the possibility that this could be a demonstrative action
00:17:02to show that Ukraine is also important, because in the Republican camp as well,
00:17:05as we see from this
00:17:09statement and the criticism of Trump regarding the diesel deal,
00:17:12support for Ukraine is
00:17:15quite strong, and Trump cannot
00:17:18ignore all those things. By the way, I will tell you
00:17:21something from another perspective, it particularly
00:17:25struck me, I mean, I understand that if you
00:17:29think about elections, you make some moves by releasing
00:17:32news to potential voters to
00:17:36attract them, for example. A message for Lithuanian voters and a message
00:17:39for Baltic voters that maybe American military
00:17:43bases will appear in Lithuania, whether they will be or not, we will
00:17:46see after the elections, Secretary of State
00:17:50Rubio went to Greece, because the Greek electorate is quite
00:17:53large, you see, in the United
00:17:57States, and there he gave a very nice speech about Greece,
00:18:00I understand that, but I don't understand how Donald Trump, on the weekend
00:18:04in Tennessee, told
00:18:07his electorate, his voters, I can tell
00:18:10you any nonsense and you will applaud me, and indeed,
00:18:14stormy applause followed, so
00:18:18in this sense, I don't understand
00:18:21some such political
00:18:25things, but maybe this is the so-called new
00:18:28politics, we will see its results in November, indeed, very briefly,
00:18:31we have a minute, can such a spree of statements by Donald
00:18:35Trump to the left and... not strengthen European support for Ukraine
00:18:39at that time? European support for Ukraine is already,
00:18:43in principle, if not for European support for Ukraine,
00:18:46Ukraine would already be very, very sad, because now
00:18:49Europe is financing, in that sense, providing economic,
00:18:52financial aid, and Europe is providing all military
00:18:56aid, except for intelligence data and Starlink, which of course comes
00:18:59from America, but Europe buys from American
00:19:02industry and corporations, gives
00:19:06money to America. This means buying these weapons,
00:19:10so in this sense, Europe is taking all these steps
00:19:13indeed. That support for Ukraine
00:19:16might decrease, after all, Europe itself is deciding on such a rather
00:19:19existential question, now, you see, how to ensure
00:19:23its security, which
00:19:25is very, very important, but
00:19:28it is clear that all
00:19:31this does not create
00:19:34a favorable climate in relations between European
00:19:38partners and America when we talk about transatlantic
00:19:41ties. Yes, when you talk to generals, for example, at
00:19:45conferences, they say, those same Americans, or
00:19:48officers, say, yes, yes, we really strongly support transatlantic
00:19:51ties, and everything else, but they look at such
00:19:55various statements and think, this person can
00:19:59give an order, for example, to defend
00:20:02one or another European country, if there are
00:20:05problems, but as I say, maybe the situation will change, maybe
00:20:09there will be more influence and other political
00:20:12forces after other elections, maybe it will somehow balance out, maybe
00:20:15such irresponsible statements will also
00:20:19decrease, we will see, in November
00:20:22is already quite soon, I want to thank you for coming
00:20:26to our studio this morning with political scientist Alvydas Medalinskas, we talked about
00:20:29the war between Russia and Ukraine, and now a short break in the program, have a nice
00:20:33morning, thank you for the studio. The army we
00:20:46don't remember, it was a division, it had all the
00:20:50commandants and headquarters, 6000
00:20:54volunteers whom we forgot, they were
00:20:56condemned to lose, perhaps hundreds of dead lie
00:21:00in nameless graves, I will be able to kill myself so that
00:21:03they don't take me. Documentary film premiere tomorrow
00:21:07at 7:30 PM on LRT television.
00:21:21The power of Lithuania is active,
00:21:24community-minded and curious people, who with their ideas
00:21:28daily strengthen cities, towns, communities
00:21:32and the entire state. In
00:21:34five years, the power of Lithuania has gathered almost 600
00:21:38initiatives, social projects,
00:21:41innovations, environmentally friendly ideas and
00:21:44examples of civic engagement, changing daily life, but
00:21:48most importantly, uniting people. Growing civic
00:21:51power throughout Lithuania and beyond
00:21:54today inspires more and more people
