00:05:10всіх, ви всіх.
00:05:43what matters is not the modesty of this
00:05:45beginning, but the determination to turn
00:05:49into something
00:05:51extraordinary. now we must
00:05:54use the courage we brought to olashki to find common
00:05:58ground through a share concern for the
00:06:02suffering of innocent people.
00:06:05together we can create something more enduring
00:06:09than a temporary cease fire. Let
00:06:12us use, let us see Ulashki as a
00:06:16spark a world of darkness,
00:06:19capable of illuminating the bas in
00:06:22humanity. Build a powerful flame of
00:06:26peace, visible to the world,
00:06:30ignite hope, foster corporation
00:06:34and brighten path toward lasting
00:06:37peace. I became
00:06:41aware the severity the humanitarian crisis in
00:06:45Olesky in September. Recognizing the
00:06:49urgency, I acted immediately and directed my
00:06:52representative Mark Bachman to engage with Russia and
00:06:56Ukraine on my behalf to pursue peace in
00:07:00Olashki. Both nations welcome my
00:07:03participation, acknowledging that previous
00:07:07efforts to establish sessfire in the
00:07:10region had not succeed,
00:07:14Russia and Ukraine honor our relationship
00:07:18and agree to work with me in the capacity of
00:07:22exclusive intermediary to
00:07:25establish fire in Olashi and the
00:07:29surrounding Kirsian region. Our
00:07:33share objective was to deliver critical
00:07:36humanitarian aid to Alesky residents
00:07:40and establish safe evacuation. root for
00:07:43civilians. my role as
00:07:47exclusive intimidary was memoralized in
00:07:51written agreements drafted and signed by
00:07:54both Russia and Ukraine. Mark and
00:07:58I began our work using the communication
00:08:01channels. we had privil privilously established
00:08:05to reunite children with their families in
00:08:09Russia and Ukraine. humanitarian
00:08:13military and government officials from Russia and
00:08:16Ukraine worked diligently to
00:08:19coordinate every aspect the
00:08:22operation. I was involved in
00:08:26every stage the planning, review the
00:08:29mining plans, areal images, assessed
00:08:33roadways and discussed evacuation roots, hospital
00:08:37access, vehicles and medical
00:08:40resources. I was made aware the preferred
00:08:44dates and timing the
00:08:47operation. My communication with
00:08:50Russia and Ukraine was extensive,
00:08:53professional, detailed and highly
00:08:57cooperative. Mark and I did everything
00:09:00possible to support both nations in advancing
00:09:04their shared commitment to reach sice fire in
00:09:08Olashi. We fulfilled our...
00:09:12responsibilities at every stage,
00:09:15collaborating with Russia and Ukraine teams through
00:09:19completion. Russia and Ukraine signed
00:09:23agreements in both languages on Friday,
00:09:27October 23rd,
00:09:282026. I comment

00:17:09say few words, hello,
00:17:13thank you, thank you,
00:17:16I have, oh welcome back, this is RT international, we've just been listening in
00:17:20live to Malania Trump, the US first lady, speaking at the
00:17:23White House there where she's hosting Russian and Ukrainian representatives
00:17:27following the ceasefire in Alijoski, which she personally
00:17:31broker, she talked about how previous attempts at um achieving
00:17:35a cease fire in the frontline town incurn had failed in her role as an
00:17:39exclusive intermediary had established his communication channels
00:17:43between Russia and Ukraine and she was involved in every step
00:17:46the planning the ceasefire. She said Russia and Ukraine had
00:17:50signed an agreement and she commends both sides for making
00:17:54this happen. Introducing Kirill Dmitriev, the special
00:17:57envoy of Russia who took the podium to thank the first lady for her
00:18:01quote crucial leadership in the ceasefire. He also passed on
00:18:05President Putin's appreciation to President Trump for his
00:18:09continued work towards achieving a peace deal between Russia and
00:18:12Ukraine, and he, Mr. Dimitriev gifted Milania, the
00:18:16first lady, a gift, which was painting by an
00:18:1911-year-old girl from Alyoshki, um, who chose to
00:18:23live with her family in Russia with the painting simply saying "I love
00:18:27Molania", so we'll keep you fully updated on what's happening right there in
00:18:30Washington DC
00:18:31for now, let's go back to Ukraine where authorities have
00:18:35started hunting down the locals. protesting, an apparent
00:18:39torture facility explosed in exposed in the country's
00:18:42capital. Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman has reacted to the
00:18:46scandal saying kiev sponsored would do well to examine what their
00:18:50funding is spent on. Keyski
00:18:53regime. The kive regime legalized mass riots long ago,
00:18:57making maidens and all this terrible, monstrous bloody fighting in the
00:19:01streets with the use of molotov cocktails part of essentially
00:19:05legal showdowns between their own citizens. And now it turns out they
00:19:08must be held accountable for all of this. Two women who,
00:19:12understanding what they were getting into, found the strength within themselves to
00:19:16say, there, in that house, there are people who urgently need
00:19:19emergency medical help. These are two women who have more courage
00:19:23than all the SBU, Bankovia, and of course Zelensky.
00:19:27The Ukrainian government doesn't care about anything, including the future
00:19:31generation, and I mean the 14-year-old boy who was lured and deceived
00:19:34at the swimming pool. What happened once? demonstrated what the
00:19:38billions from Ukraine's western sponsors are being spent on on
00:19:42torture chambers like these where people disappear without a trace
00:19:46on intimidating people on punitive measures, they don't give a dam
00:19:50about anything at all, including future
00:19:53generations. for more
00:19:55on this, let's cross life to Italian journalist for radio belaruss and belarusse
00:19:59sivodnia David Cabanaro. many thanks for joining us on the
00:20:03program. so the Russian foreign ministry has reacted to this ongoing
00:20:07man were seeing in Kieve and drawing attention to the fact that the
00:20:10current Ukrainian government was brought to power through public
00:20:14unrest, now we're seeing protesters being detained and
00:20:18forced to apologize for attempting to speak out, how would you explain
00:20:22this pivot and who does it
00:20:24benefit? well, thanks for having
00:20:27me, we have to be clear in what we
00:20:31see every day, we have been saying for
00:20:34years with which kind of people...
00:20:38uh, in Kieve, we have to
00:20:42deal somehow every day, and we see
00:20:45now that when we were calling them nazis,
00:20:49uh, "it was, well, in fact, not really the
00:20:53precise words, because these
00:20:56people, they don't treat others as human
00:21:00being, and they are treating protests which
00:21:03are now, well, coming up from people
00:21:07that are fed up with what this
00:21:11absolute inhuman regime is doing, and the
00:21:15protests, well, they are a natural thing at this
00:21:18moment, my question." " I always ask myself, when
00:21:22will uh Ukrainians start to
00:21:25react against this inhuman uh
00:21:29politicians, this inhuman um people that
00:21:33are in the Kiv Zelinsky administration. Now
00:21:37these protests are coming out, we have been seeing for
00:21:41months, for years how people have been
00:21:45drown out from homes, beaten up, we see the
00:21:48pictures, we see... every day what's happened and
00:21:52now all the world can see that we were
00:21:55right in beginning this fight because
00:21:59this is a fight for life against death, they
00:22:03are death and we want to save lives.
00:22:07maybe now the western powers will
00:22:10understand what we have to really deal with and
00:22:14will stop giving money and support to
00:22:17this criminals. Yeah,
00:22:21Ukrainian police, the they're working pretty hard to - track down
00:22:25these protesters, they've identified 130 people involved in the
00:22:29protest against this so-called torture house in Kiyev, and some them have already
00:22:33been detained and forced to apologize, so why are the
00:22:36Kiev authorities so quick to work on that front, when they shouldn't they be
00:22:40focusing on those who created and supported this torture
00:22:44facility in the first place? Yes, you are right,
00:22:48Niki, but the problem is that... these concentration
00:22:51camps that were made by the
00:22:54nazis, they should in fact prosecute
00:22:58themselves, because these are the
00:23:01Ukrainian administration, Ukrainian government, local governments
00:23:05are all responsible for building up these places
00:23:08and because they still want to keep
00:23:12on the mask of this
00:23:16fake regime that they have built in the...
00:23:20media thanks also to western media that have been doing
00:23:23a absolutely disgusting cover up for
00:23:27years, well now there is nothing to
00:23:31cover up anymore, it's impossible to cover up, they will still
00:23:35try and this is why they're doing it, they're trying to
00:23:38again put fear in the people in order to make
00:23:41them uh get back and recan their
00:23:45declarations in media, but still the facts are there,
00:23:49we saw... people tortured this 14 year old
00:23:53child, the pictures went thanks also to
00:23:57our media to your media to you all uh
00:24:00for the great work as journalists we all do every day
00:24:04uh these pictures got all over the world, let's make the
00:24:08world wake up and see the reality
00:24:12of what is happening, well we shall see won't we?
00:24:16um, many thanks for joining us on the program, david calbanaro, italian
00:24:20journalist for Radio Belaruss and Belarus Godnia. Many thanks.
00:24:24Thank you. Good evening to all. Good evening. Extreme methods
00:24:28such as kidnappings and beatings are also used by criminals under the
00:24:32patronage of Ukrainian law enforcement. One such grouping has
00:24:36been exposed by Kiyev's anti-corruption agencies and is said to
00:24:40have direct links to top officials the SBU, police, and
00:24:44Prosecuted General's office. The investigation released videos
00:24:47of gang members assaulting civilian. the following images were about to show
00:24:51you on graphic and you might find them
00:24:54upsetting.
00:25:14the main thing is that the piece of scum got properly broken.
00:25:18i'd hate for him to have gotten off to lights. 'brother, I'm telling
00:25:22you he's absolutely wrecked, fucked up beyond belief. Den worked him over with hammer and
00:25:25I did too, though we didn't film that part. His legs, you get what I mean,
00:25:29are basically just rags now. The anti-corruption
00:25:33probe reported that the criminal grouping included 12
00:25:37people. Besides torture and kidnappings, it was also
00:25:41facilitating the work of Ukraine's notorious fraud call
00:25:44centers as well as drug production and distribution. The tapes
00:25:48released at binard'. revealed that the gang's leaders had direct ties to
00:25:52some Ukrainian ministers. These guys
00:25:56are out their minds. For real, do they think they're going to be in
00:26:00charge forever? Tell them, are you? kidding me, you are handed two
00:26:04million goddamn dollars. your job is to stand by that call
00:26:08center and keep everyone away, not to go around spinning fairy
00:26:11tales. think about how we can make sure that these
00:26:15various ministers like the minister of internal affairs, or the
00:26:19minister of health stop throwing a wrench in our works. we're prepared
00:26:22to offer comrad k 500,000 plus another 200
00:26:26thousand for whoever helps him out, that's 700 thousand to ensure he
00:26:30stopsing on our plans. as for comrad L, there's no need
00:26:34to address anything with
00:26:39I'm sending him. someone
00:26:40Brother, over right now to talk to K. He's going to give him a clear directive.
00:26:44Don't go changing the chemical formulas for the weed or whatever it is we're
00:26:48dealing with. We need to make sure that the samples submitted to the lab don't get
00:26:52scrutinized in a way that forces us to keep changing the formulas, because
00:26:56they keep adding them to
00:26:57the list of band substances, right? The
00:27:01SBU has been quick. to fire two of its high ranking officers
00:27:05who've been implicated. a Ukrainian political analyst told us how the
00:27:08unfolding scandals in Kiev could eventually lead to regime
00:27:12change. I believe that the
00:27:15events currently unfolding in Ukraine are no mere
00:27:18coincidence, rather they mark the beginning of serious trouble
00:27:22for Zelensky. Consider this, the acting head the SBU
00:27:26has dismissed his own subordinates, officers who were implicated
00:27:30in investigation by the... national anti-corruption bureau of
00:27:34Ukraine. This reflects a longstanding tradition: rather
00:27:38than standing by their own personnel, those in power
00:27:41readily sacrifice them, throwing the weaker ones into the
00:27:45furnace to save themselves. As the saying goes, the
00:27:48fish rots from the head. Zelensky has consistently
00:27:52employed this tactic, whenever he faces an overwhelming surge of
00:27:56negative sentiment, he invariably finds a scape goat,
00:28:00blames them for everything and...
00:28:04Naturally other government officials follow the same pattern. Now looking
00:28:08back at the Nabu investigation, consider the timing: just
00:28:12two days after a torture basement was discovered near Kiev,
00:28:15where conscripts and military personnel were being held captive and their
00:28:19relatives extorted for ransom, we can reasonably infer that
00:28:23Nabu itself may be behind this high-profile
00:28:26case, and if Nabu is involved, it suggests the hand
00:28:30the United States, not the... is at work, this
00:28:34leads to the conclusion that the US has initiated
00:28:37attempt to change the regime. their primary challenge
00:28:41now is to replace key figures while ensuring that
00:28:45control over Ukraine remains intact, a frankly
00:28:49highly complex undertaking under the current
00:28:51circumstances. Furthermore, Nabu has announced the
00:28:55conclusion the Midus investigation, which uncovered a money
00:28:59laundering scheme involving millions of dollars. a scheme
00:29:03directly linked to Zelensky's inner circle.
00:29:06Furthermore, I could venture to suggest that by combining the
00:29:10two cases, the Carthage case and the Midus case,
00:29:14the National Anticorruption Bureau of Ukraine could finally
00:29:18demonstrate, primarily to its European partners, that the
00:29:22Zelensky regime has misappropriated billions of dollars in
00:29:25western aid. This could well serve as a compelling argument
00:29:29for Europe's current ruling elite to. cease their
00:29:33support for Ukraine and to withdraw all previously
00:29:37extended guarantees and promises. The Europeans would then
00:29:41be able to tell their own electorats that it was not Europe that was
00:29:45weak or that lost the war to Russia, rather it was the Ukrainian
00:29:48establishment, and the Ukrainian president himself, who
00:29:52proved to be fundamentally dishonest.
00:29:55Consequently, the Europeans could argue that they are now legally
00:29:59justified in withholding any further recept. in
00:30:03short, this would be finita lamedia, the end the
00:30:07show for the Zelensky regime, and
00:30:10it appears the torture house discovered near kiev is merely
00:30:14the tip the iceberg, as Ukraine's military and security
00:30:18agencies have reportedly been running such black sites for years.

00:30:30well, some more distressing images coming. up next as a passenger
00:30:34bus carrying civilians has been hit by a Ukrainian strike in
00:30:37Russia's Lugansk Republic. At least five people were killed and
00:30:4113 more wounded, according to local officials. Two teenagers
00:30:45are among the casualties who are now being treated in hospital.
00:30:49Russian authorities have launched a criminal probe into the assault. It's
00:30:53the latest case of Kiev's forces targeting non-military
00:30:56vehicles across the embattled regions.
