00:00:00the cost of one day of war has increased from approximately
00:00:03$140
00:00:04million
00:00:13in 2024 to $190 million
00:00:17now. The reasons are clear, as payments have increased,
00:00:21troop numbers, ammunition consumption, and prices have
00:00:24jumped on almost everything. But the most
00:00:26unpleasant thing for Kyiv is that simultaneously with... the main
00:00:37assets
00:00:38from
00:00:41Russian strikes in the current year reached approximately $10
00:00:45billion, a broader economic damage
00:00:48is estimated at 1.5% of GDP, and due to problems with
00:00:52Black Sea ports, export
00:00:55revenues are at risk, which is up to $40 billion, classic scabbards were created.
00:00:58Zelensky accelerated war spending
00:01:02precisely when the independent economy's ability to pay for this war
00:01:05began to rapidly decline. The old
00:01:09Ukrainian way of closing such holes remained, that is, going
00:01:13to the Europeans again. Only this time, a quite reasonable
00:01:16question arises in the EU: what happened to the previous
00:01:20billions? And, as if on purpose, the New York Times publishes
00:01:23a large investigation regarding Kyiv's military procurements.
00:01:27Journalists received closed reports. and
00:01:30from the State Audit Service of Ukraine for
00:01:332024 year. The picture turned out
00:01:36remarkable, in just one year Ukraine lost about
00:01:39$1.2 billion due to fraud, overpayments,
00:01:42failed contracts, and dubious arms purchases, and this is what
00:01:45they were able to find. In wartime conditions, when Kyiv was begging Western
00:01:49taxpayers for money for every shell, a billion dollars within
00:01:53the system itself could simply disappear between
00:01:56the contract and the delivery.
00:02:00Mikhail, you are quoting different figures, I also have some
00:02:03figures here, we accumulated all indicators
00:02:06starting from twenty-two, friends, the European Union sent and approved for
00:02:10allocation 220 billion euros, even with
00:02:13a little extra, and this includes macro-financial loans, grants,
00:02:17humanitarian programs, and almost 4 billion euros
00:02:21from the income of our frozen assets, which is legally
00:02:24considered both theft and robbery officially, but
00:02:28still, where do these go?
00:03:00a sharp increase in the number began, well, I am being ironic, when no, well, in this
00:03:04case it is already like an innuendo, indeed forty days,
00:03:07and already from May it is approximately, without
00:03:11taking into account related expenses, logistics, everything
00:03:14else, only on drones, according to our official
00:03:17formulations of our general staff, the number of drones, only on
00:03:21drones, they spent about 2 billion dollars a month,
00:03:25this is without related expenses, apart from all other expenses, this
00:03:29is absolutely not accidental. Deputy Kitsa from the Servants of the People talks about
00:03:32a trillion, perhaps it is a rounding, perhaps it is an exaggeration,
00:03:36but my friends, this is about 25, 22-23 billion
00:03:40dollars, it's quite possible, it's quite possible, how is it in Ukrainian? 3
00:03:43billion on rounding, yes,
00:03:46back and forth, and regarding where all this
00:03:49disappears in principle, listen, but again,
00:03:53the auditors who have been working since last year, both from the Ministry of Finance and
00:03:56the FBI, for twenty-four according to documents. this is
00:04:47about 200 kg, 10 kg is a million
00:04:51dollars, and maybe deputies from the Servant of the People
00:04:54will start weighing in kilograms, like we still
00:04:57need 10 tons of dollars. 10 kg of European
00:05:01aid, 10 tons of deputies, 10 tons of dollars, I
00:05:04want to highlight our journalistic kitchen, literally, we are live, 5
00:05:08seconds before the start of the block, Mikhail was yelling at me in the editor.
00:05:42this is not a fight against corruption, this is not a fight for justice and
00:05:45legality, this is all a political struggle, all this is very
00:05:49interestingly unfolding around uh
00:05:52the Prosecutor General's Office, around
00:05:55the fugitive, still Prosecutor General, although he will be dismissed
00:05:58without a doubt, around this
00:06:01strange mystification, let's have a small preamble, for those who missed it,
00:06:05in case last week was spent on vacation, in general,
00:06:08the Prosecutor General, Kravchenko, that's his name, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General, he has
00:06:11a subordinate.
00:06:42nettle, Muse was taken for Muse, and a little
00:06:46bit covered, a ransom was declared for them, so, a ransom,
00:06:49that's what it's called now, yes, Kravchenko first was not involved,
00:06:53got lost in Kyiv, then found, then he
00:06:56talked to Zelensky, left, and what analysts say is that Kravchenko is
00:06:59the only instrument, in fact, the Ukrainian
00:07:03prosecutor's office, pressure on NABU and SAP, as long as this
00:07:06was his man, he had instruments, now Kravchenko is gone, and how
00:07:10the situation developed further, there's a little
00:07:12broader story there, because the SBU was also involved, at least, what
00:07:16Kravchenko has prepared
00:07:18now, having fled, having left the country, clearly
00:07:22exchanging this story with Zelensky for his own, what did he prepare, he accused
00:07:25the head of NABU, that not
00:07:28only
00:07:30Kryvonos, the head, but also the wife of the head
00:07:33of SAP, that they were involved in corruption back in two thousand fourteen, there were even
00:07:37earlier episodes it is very difficult for political strategists to talk about
00:07:41the subject, yes.
00:08:13but, apparently, overnight some non-public
00:08:16events regarding Zelensky occur, Zelensky is being sent a very serious message,
00:08:20surely, and he unwinds this situation, he really unwinds this situation,
00:08:24gives a command to, don't know whom
00:08:26to say, it's unknown who was sitting at the keyboard and writing from the Prosecutor General's office,
00:08:30no one understands who deleted these
00:08:33data from the register, even Kravchenko, again, Zelensky
00:08:37surely gives Kravchenko a command to continue
00:08:40resisting, to continue stirring up the wave. Well, that's vaudeville, but
00:08:43the meaning of all this is very simple, friends, Zelensky
00:08:47after this counterattack had
00:08:49two, two key scenarios, first, to go all the way,
00:08:53to make the SBU arrest the head
00:08:56of the SBU, really arrest Kryvonos
00:09:00and Klymenko's wife, bring them to court, choose a preventive measure, and this
00:09:03is open war already, the second option is the one he apparently chose, to back down,
00:09:07but both options lead him to lose
00:09:11virtually. influence on security forces, and therefore on the entire
00:09:14structure, he really is slowly turning into the Queen of England,
00:09:18we are observing this first-hand now, no one will overthrow
00:09:21or remove him, but his influence will be zero very soon.
00:09:25Nikita, you want to say, you figured out this wedding in Malinovka, what's
00:09:29going on there, I'm already lost, give me the jacket, power
00:09:31has changed, yes, a small comment, actually in
00:09:35the last segment Vlad Andrica had a hero, yes
00:09:38a Romanian, who spoke about people who
00:09:41are more pleasant.
00:10:40After her shift at the morgue ends, she joins the fire brigade
00:10:43to extinguish nearby, well,
00:10:46forests or after the explosions, they
00:10:50cause fires, especially now that it's
00:10:53been quite a hot summer.
00:11:25they are trying to shake off all this, they have completely different goals on the external perimeter,
00:11:28plus 30% of the voting population is against
00:11:32the US financing Ukraine, and Ukraine in turn
00:11:36believes, this was in the Ukrainian media, I think back in August, that
00:11:40Europe did not give them 160 billion euros, they
00:11:43calculated, they are waiting, apparently, yes, the question, if
00:11:46the US distances itself, trying to at the same time a political
00:11:50conflict, and Europe, well, apparently, will soon end, well, by all
00:11:53indications, what will happen, yes?
00:12:01there is a real fuel crisis on the horizon, probably, and
00:12:04in general, inflation is gradually rising in
00:12:08the European Union, a serious increase is expected by the end
00:12:11of the year, money will be needed to extinguish this fire, so to speak, in
00:12:15the financial sector, so they are now starting enough of one
00:12:18person any, any
00:12:22pretexts to reduce issuance. Uh-huh,
00:12:33and
00:12:38the only way now for Zelensky
00:12:41to get this money is to completely surrender his positions, vote for
00:12:45everything they want, then they won't give money, taking
00:12:48into account problems in the mining and metallurgical complex and the agricultural
00:12:51sector, they will likely lose up to a third
00:12:55of GDP next year, because exports are stopped, everything
00:12:58is lying on its belly, logistics is completely dead,
00:13:02warehouse history is dead, the food sector is falling, that is,
00:13:05in fact, they have a complete bouquet of crisis phenomena, let's see,
00:13:09we will still observe how Ukraine is lying on
00:13:18Latvia at a crossroads. In the studio of Open Air, journalist,

00:18:08This is an open broadcast, and we continue. The question of changing the country's
00:18:12constitution, which currently prohibits the deployment of nuclear
00:18:15weapons on its territory, has been put on
00:18:18the agenda in Lithuania. And the Latvian government has banned the import of books,
00:18:21newspapers, and any printed matter in Russian.
00:18:24The confiscation of Russian books from stores was called by the Foreign Minister of
00:18:28the country, "No-no" not an episode from science fiction, but
00:18:32a necessary step for a complete break in trade and economic
00:18:35ties with the aggressor. Journalist,
00:18:38human rights activist and former deputy of the Riga Duma, who
00:18:41for more than 30 years was at the center of political,
00:18:44cultural, and public life of Latvia, and then was forced
00:18:47to flee from one country, not just
00:18:50flee, but also swim, yes Ruslan, Ruslan Pankratov,
00:18:53applause, we invite the main hero to the editorial office, an important event, Ruslan's
00:18:57book entitled From Earth to
00:19:01Sky, Latvia at a Crossroads, has been published, let's watch a short
00:19:04segment and talk.
00:19:07This is a book about a state that decided to rewrite its history not
00:19:11in scientific discussions, in parliament and courts under
00:19:14external pressure, about a state that declared
00:19:17heroes to be people who served in Nazi formations
00:19:20persecutes the memory of those who lived and fought in Soviet
00:19:24times. About a state that pursues a policy of forced
00:19:27assimilation under the guise of integration, closes Russian
00:19:31schools under the pretext of reforms, suppresses any dissent
00:19:34from human rights activists to local historians and teachers. through repressive
00:19:38practices, criminal cases and deportations.
00:19:41Collaborationism is glorified. The Latvian
00:19:44Waffen SS Legion is declared freedom
00:19:47fighters. Marches in their honor become part of the official
00:19:50calendar. At the same time, Latvians who fought against Nazism as
00:19:54part of the Red Army are stigmatized as
00:19:57occupiers. The Soviet period is demonized.
00:20:00The time of industrial breakthrough, the development of urban culture
00:20:04and education, is declared total occupation and repression.
00:20:08seven. The contribution of the Russian-speaking population and Russian culture to the development of Latvia
00:20:11is systematically hushed up. The closure
00:20:14of Russian schools, the displacement of the Russian language from the public sphere,
00:20:18the distortion of names and surnames, language exams for elderly
00:20:22people, ideological loyalty filters, all this
00:20:25is presented as a natural path to social unity.
00:20:29In practice, it is about expelling and dissolving
00:20:32Russian identity. Monuments are torn down, toponymy
00:20:36changes, reinterpreted so as to create
00:20:39the illusion: Russian world allegedly never existed here, and
00:20:43if it did, it was only in the form of foreign
00:20:45occupation. Ruslan, on the one hand, a poetic
00:20:49title. From earth to sky, Latvia at a crossroads, but is there
00:20:52really a crossroads, because for many decades it has been like
00:20:56with a fig in the pocket and with Russophobia, and this is like
00:20:59the mainstream, not a crossroads, tell me, well, I completely
00:21:02agree with you, because, well, indeed, well,
00:21:05not exactly at a crossroads, if you agree, then
00:21:08we rename it,
00:21:10the publisher, this is the most diplomatic, most
00:21:14ethical thing that could be
00:21:16done regarding this split. Regarding
00:21:20this - this savage
00:21:23hatred, people are generally incapable, I mean, aggressively, this
00:21:27minority, this imported
00:21:30political elite, they can't even be called an elite, but
00:21:34they are so aggressive, they live
00:21:37with this specific hatred that, well, look, to make a political
00:21:40career in Latvia, you need to be an ethnic
00:21:43Latvian, best
00:21:46of all, if you came from the USA, it's already a good base.
00:22:20example, well, well, based on Latvian grammar,
00:22:23all names and surnames must be included in this Latvian grammar, even if
00:22:27they are not Latvian examples, well, look, in the simplest version, I am
00:22:30Ruslan Pankratov, in the Latvian passport they cannot write in English
00:22:34transcription, they write Ruslans Pankratov with a
00:22:37's', as it were, but
00:22:40that's right, there are many of us, hello, we are Ruslan
00:22:43Pankratovs, but with me this is the easiest case, although I went to
00:22:46Strasbourg, but imagine what happens, for example, with Elena. sh, when
00:22:50a passport is taken, it reads as Dzhelena suka,
00:22:54Shishkin is Siskin, Pyshkin is Piskin, quiet, quiet,
00:22:57live broadcast, I apologize, I apologize, but here are the facts, what
00:23:00can you do, where, although you
00:23:04had problems with Latvia, apparently with Roskomnadzor
00:23:07now too, you will also have problems, but that's your responsibility, we are
00:23:11live, continue,
00:23:14here is a heroic man who tried
00:23:17to fight, wanted to name his son,
00:23:50a nuisance, this is the main word in a person's life, their name, and
00:23:54to mock a name, well, that's just vile, honestly, a blatant
00:23:58kind of, like, something on the level of the Third Reich, vileness
00:24:01to humiliate a person for their name, but it's a name given to him by God
00:24:04from his parents, his parents pronounced it out loud, I'll just tell you
00:24:08a very important thing, many are wondering, there is still no
00:24:12clear theory of how civilization arose, there are many, including
00:24:15religious studies, what happened to such...
00:24:19такой...
00:24:39They started to revere graves, not believe in something stronger than themselves, that is, this divine consciousness appeared earlier, specifically to revere graves, that this life is not over, and to revere someone
00:24:43who is no longer there, what did you need to give him, he
00:24:46needed to be given a written name, so that you could go to the memorial,
00:25:20or there, a man from the small town of Jekabpils was in the hospital,
00:25:23he sent a message to his friend in one of the messengers, saying: look what
00:25:27Vladimirovich said, maybe he's right, this is uncovered 2 years
00:25:30in prison, Professor Alexander, a quote from a public
00:25:34speech is with an addition, maybe there was something
00:25:37sensible, look, maybe the president is right, let's
00:25:41be friends, let's create, 2 years in prison, Alexander
00:25:44Gaponenko, professor, spoke
00:25:48at a round table where I organized him.
00:25:51he spoke about ethnocide, and
00:25:54the author, in fact, the definition of the word ethnocide
00:25:58is an American lawyer who...
00:26:01And
00:27:33it seems to me that the title of Ruslan's book is very apt, because there
00:27:36really is a crossroads, it seems to us from the current
00:27:40moment that this derussification, dehumanization, dehumanization has been going on for 30
00:27:44years, but in the scale of history it's nonsense,
00:27:47listen, this is Russian land, and it always
00:27:51has been, no matter what they came up with, they are now occupiers on Russian land
00:27:55in this particular case there, well, not for the first time,
00:27:58in Ukraine I also have a lot of things about this.
00:28:01a girl
00:29:02who sings and
00:29:05talks, yes, she does everything
00:29:08except her direct job, there's asphalt only
00:29:12around her residence, her task is to return Moldova to
00:29:15Romania, as soon as Moldovans were forced to stop
00:29:18thinking that they were connected to Russia, they thought they would become Moldovans, they were
00:29:22told: "No, guys, there were never any Moldovans, you are Romanians,"
00:29:26a Romanian woman came and said: "You are now Romanians," yes, well, in this
00:29:30sense, yes, the Moldovan authorities went even further. The Baltic ones, in the sense
00:29:33that they are trying to turn their people into a completely different ethnic group, that is,
00:29:37to reformat not just self-awareness,
00:29:39ethnic identification, including cultural,
00:29:42ethnocultural, well, and completely reprogram
00:29:45at the same time, I apologize, it was Russian culture that always said there are
00:29:49Moldovans, there are Lithuanians, there are Latvians, there are
00:29:52Estonians, therefore, by the way, in Transnistria, the Moldovan
00:29:55ethnic group, the Moldovan language in Cyrillic is preserved, thanks to
00:29:58Transnistria, there is a chance that it will still be preserved in world history.
