00:00:00From Monday to Thursday at 9:15 and 20:50. DNR
00:01:00liberation. Here, nearby, an enemy
00:01:04120-millimeter mortar was operating. Well, the crew itself, Vyshushnikov,
00:01:08lived in this house, now they are certainly not
00:01:11here. Together with units of the southern group
00:01:14of forces, our military correspondent Igor Lappik is working in this direction.
00:01:17Student
00:01:21protests in Europe are spreading to new countries, now
00:01:24Belgium, Italy, and
00:01:26Romania are in a fever.
00:01:52the road for the infantry. Today, the details of the liberation
00:01:56of Annapolya in the Kharkiv region became known. The settlement came
00:01:59under our control last Thursday. The "North" group of forces entered
00:02:02there. Before the assault, artillerymen suppressed enemy firing
00:02:06points.
00:02:09Shot!
00:02:13Well, and drone operators rammed Ukrainian equipment to
00:02:17cover the assault troops.
00:02:20When the enemy already, how to say, still
00:02:23starts shooting until the last bullet, one can
00:02:26say, when we send... two
00:02:30or three shells from the RPO, well, colloquially
00:02:33"Shmels", then almost immediately they
00:02:36surrender and almost
00:02:40without a fight this point is taken.
00:02:43Thanks to the liberation of Anapolya, the northerners were able to take control of the
00:02:47Old Saltov - Podsrednee highway and cut off the supply of weapons for
00:02:51the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region. Well, these
00:02:53are shots of the work of tank crews of the same group of forces already in the Sumy
00:02:57region, the crew of a modernized T-80
00:03:00destroyed a disguised group transporting ammunition for Ukrainian
00:03:04militants.
00:03:10The tank crews fired from a distance of 9 km, despite such
00:03:14a long distance, the hit rate was
00:03:15100%.
00:03:19Russian soldiers repelled an enemy counterattack near
00:03:22Druzhkovka. An enemy sabotage group tried
00:03:25to secretly approach the city, but our scouts
00:03:28noticed it in time.
00:05:00lead to their colleagues from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is important to leave
00:05:03the enemy without eyes in the sky and cut off their strike drones,
00:05:07because all the work at the front line for the nationalists is done by
00:05:10drone operators. In addition to the point. In UAV control, manpower
00:05:14in shelters, basements, and dugouts is actively destroyed.
00:05:17Rarely, but roving mortars
00:05:20of the enemy are encountered. An enemy 120-millimeter
00:05:24mortar was operating near here, and the crew
00:05:28of VSU soldiers lived in this house. Now they
00:05:31are certainly not here, and their presence is reminded by these
00:05:35mines, of which there are many scattered
00:05:38everywhere. Artillerymen of the southern grouping inflict pinpoint
00:05:41strikes on... nationalist positions in the Kramatorsk district. On the eve of
00:05:45large-caliber shells, three militant shelters in
00:05:49Druzhkovka were hit. They were hiding in dilapidated private
00:05:52houses. The Russian army is gradually taking Druzhkovka from the south
00:05:56in a wide sweep. The storming of the city is part of a large offensive
00:05:59operation to liberate Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. According to the summary
00:06:03of the Ministry of Defense, strikes are now being carried out in the areas of Nikolaevka,
00:06:06Belenkoye, Semenovka, and Krasny Molochyar. Our
00:06:10troops have one more
00:06:42to liberate. They hit an oil depot, after which a large fire broke out on the site. A
00:06:46vessel was hit during the sea crossing; it was delivering military cargo
00:06:49to the port of Odessa. Well, in addition, four
00:06:53locomotives in different regions of Ukraine became targets. As reported
00:06:56by the Ministry of Defense, these trains were used in the interests
00:06:59of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
00:07:02Russia is ready for a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis and is open to
00:07:05dialogue. At the same time, Donald Trump announced the entry into force of the so-called
00:07:09energy truce between Moscow
00:07:12and Kyiv. According to the American president, the parties agreed
00:07:16to cease mutual strikes on fuel infrastructure. Also,
00:07:19Washington is calling for a change of power in Kyiv. Earlier, Trump
00:07:23stated that it was time for Ukraine to choose a new president
00:07:26capable of negotiating. For Kyiv, the statement of the American leader came
00:07:30as a surprise. Zelensky immediately tried to put forward his own
00:07:34conditions. The head of the Kyiv regime announced his readiness for a pause in
00:07:37strikes and to hold elections only in the event of a full
00:07:40sixty-day ceasefire.
00:08:46The US concluded a diesel deal to stabilize prices in the American and
00:08:50global markets. Washington and Moscow agreed on an initial
00:08:53supply of over 3,000 tons of diesel with further
00:08:56increases in volume. For this, the US Treasury partially lifted
00:09:00sanctions against the Russian fuel sector. Zelensky called these agreements
00:09:03an obvious weakness of Washington, which
00:09:06caused a sharp reaction from
00:09:08Trump.
00:10:55will not allow the transit of weapons through its territory, Peter Magyar said in an interview with a Finnish
00:10:59publication. In addition, the Hungarian
00:11:02prime minister spoke out against Ukraine's accelerated entry into
00:11:05the European Union. He stressed that Kyiv is obliged to go through all stages
00:11:09without exception. In Hungary, a nationwide
00:11:13referendum will be held on the issue of Ukraine's membership in the European Union. Earlier, Budapest
00:11:17blocked the construction of oil storage facilities for the needs of the Kyiv
00:11:20regime.
00:11:23Brussels after Paris.
00:11:35improve learning conditions. Criticism of foreign policy
00:11:39is heard at rallies. Peaceful actions quickly escalated into
00:11:42mass unrest. Protesters build
00:11:45barricades, launch smoke bombs and burn
00:11:48tires.
00:11:58In response, the police use water cannons and arrest
00:12:01protesters. Protests are also sweeping other European countries.
00:12:05The streets of Rome are ablaze. Here, students began seizing buildings and
00:12:09demanding that money be sent to schools, not to war. And in Bucharest,
00:12:12the streets were filled with opposition supporters and teachers protesting against
00:12:16payment delays and reforms.
00:12:20The international airport in Verniyade is closed due to shelling by
00:12:24Houthi rebels. In the result of another strike, a Pakistani
00:12:27citizen died. 11 people were injured. A day earlier,
00:12:31a rocket hit the passenger terminal building. A
00:12:35fire started at the airport.
00:12:4112 people died, more than 300 were injured. According to our MFA,
00:12:45there are no Russians among the wounded. Responsibility for the attacks is laid
00:12:48on Yemen. In response, Saudi Arabia launched air strikes on
00:12:52the infrastructure of the Houthi-controlled international
00:12:55airport in Sanaa. At the same time, the situation in the Persian
00:12:58Gulf escalated. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced
00:13:02the undermining of a supertanker by a naval mine
00:13:06in the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz. A fire broke out on board
00:13:09the vessel.
00:14:56And for now, that's all for me. More news on the Zvezda News channel, stay with us, stay
00:15:00informed about events, remember that all set goals will be
00:15:03achieved. Maria Grigorieva was with you, see you next time.
00:15:31Honestly, I want to thank President Putin, huge volumes of oil
00:15:35will flow into our country, and we are talking about diesel
00:15:38fuel, and that is exactly what we need now, so
00:15:42thank you. Well, what can I say, the diesel deal between Moscow and
00:15:45Washington is the number one topic now for the world
00:15:49media, we will definitely return to it and delve into it fully. With
00:15:53you is "Open Air" in the studio, Denis Kachanov and Nikolay Matveev.
00:15:56Let's immediately move on to the main topic. Reuters writes: this
00:16:00unprecedented decision is being made against the backdrop of US sanctions
00:16:04against Russian energy companies,
00:16:07introduced in February 2022. Nevertheless, on Friday, the US
00:16:11Treasury Department issued a general license
00:16:14authorizing the import of Russian diesel fuel until
00:16:17April 7 of next year. Well, and the French
00:16:20publication sadly states. Quote:
00:16:24The Kremlin came to the aid of the White House. The US President
00:16:27congratulated himself on convincing Vladimir Putin to release up to
00:16:314.8 million tons of diesel fuel
00:16:34to world markets. Donald Trump has already ensured that
00:16:37European countries have activated their strategic fuel reserves
00:16:41to reduce pressure on world markets. What about Europe in the meantime?
00:16:44There's Kaja Kallas. Where would we be without
00:16:48her? Here's what she writes on her social network X page. Quote:
00:16:52Lifting sanctions on Russian diesel fuel will allow Moscow
00:16:56to earn more profit. Now is not the time to ease
00:16:59pressure on Russia, and Europe will not do that. On
00:17:02Monday, EU foreign ministers are gathering to adopt the largest
00:17:06package of sanctions since the beginning of the conflict, aimed against
00:17:09the Russian military-industrial complex. Well, while it seems that in Europe,
00:17:13they were converting tons into barrels, trying to calculate who
00:17:16would earn how much, Donald Trump slammed Zelensky,
00:17:20here's what he said. I think it's time for Ukraine
00:17:23to get a new president. I suggest they
00:17:26find a new leader who can make a deal, because he,
00:17:30Zelensky, could have made many agreements, but for some reason
00:17:34he never did. If only you knew what happened on Saturday
00:17:38after Trump made this statement, it happened precisely in
00:17:41Kyiv, where they started calling all European leaders in all possible ways
00:17:45to report immediately, they called this one, he supports me,
00:17:48they called that one, she supports me, well, that's
00:17:51unconvincing, unconvincing, yes, well, when you
00:17:55get hit in the face, and you're like, this one didn't hit me, that's
00:17:59how it works, apparently, US President Donald Trump decided to conclude a diesel
00:18:03deal with Russia after Zelensky ignored about
00:18:06six requests.
00:18:21after the announcement of the deal, he admitted that he was stunned by this decision, he
00:18:24called the agreement unfair and dishonest, end
00:18:27quote: well, the Ukrainian delegation prematurely left
00:18:30negotiations with Stephen Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Miami after
00:18:34reports of the US-Russia diesel deal, the Financial Times reports.
00:18:38In addition, according to the publication, Witkoff and
00:18:42Kushner warned Kyiv about the cessation of intelligence
00:18:45data transfer if the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to strike
00:18:48Russian oil refineries. Dmitry Evstafiev
00:18:51is closely following the events, we invite the authors to the main hero's chair,
00:18:55colleagues, let's support them with applause,
00:18:56watch.
00:18:59How will the EU countries behave, having just adopted the twenty-second
00:19:03sanctions package and effectively financed a new wave of
00:19:06escalation from Zelensky's side? They are unlikely
00:19:09to quickly adapt to the new situation, at least most
00:19:13of them, especially considering the internal
00:19:16situation in the largest European countries. It is now
00:19:20that new rules of the game are being written for the global oil and, more broadly,
00:19:23hydrocarbon market. And Trump, not necessarily as US
00:19:27president, can be one of those who will have a decisive
00:19:31voice in their determination. By making an oil maneuver, Trump
00:19:35gained a serious competitive advantage in the aggravated
00:19:38relations with the EU, and it cannot be covered by stormy and prolonged
00:19:42applause in the European Parliament for
00:19:44anti-Trump speeches. Trump, of course, confirmed his
00:19:48reputation as a person capable of extraordinary actions in a critical
00:19:51situation for himself. The question is rather different,
00:19:55namely, how far Trump is capable of turning such one-off
00:19:58extraordinary actions into a major
00:20:01geoeconomic and geopolitical reversal.
00:20:04Denis, well, the Trump administration is watching an open broadcast... weak
00:20:37and most importantly, of course, Trump's rhetoric that
00:20:41Zelensky needs to be replaced, what will all this lead
00:20:44to? Well, these are actually three different questions,
00:20:48so. And Trump's
00:20:52mastery as a political manipulator and generally as
00:20:55one of the best masters of modern set design
00:20:59in the world for political stage settings, first of all, well,
00:21:02what can I say, a showman, it consisted precisely in bringing these three
00:21:06completely different questions, as it were, together in
00:21:09one point, so to speak, in one place,
00:21:13at one time. Well, the first question is, what is the real
00:21:17situation in the diesel market in the United States?
00:22:20It must be stated that Trump, Trump
00:22:24personally and America, but America facultatively, but most importantly
00:22:27Trump personally is not to blame for the current crisis in the global
00:22:31oil market, this is not because,
00:22:34probably, there was a war with Iran, and the Strait of
00:22:37Hormuz is blocked or not blocked, but nevertheless, just yesterday, three
00:22:41million-ton tankers blew up, this is probably not because of that, it
00:22:44is exclusively because Zelensky is hitting
00:22:48oil refineries, yes, that's
00:22:51Trump, he brought all
00:22:55this together in one place at one time, but the question here is
00:22:58different, the question here is, how far can Trump
00:23:01really go in this deal? The fact that he will
00:23:05eventually back out, I think no one
00:23:07doubts, yes, but how far? Because this
00:23:11deal for Trump is a milestone, or
00:23:15does he at least partially fulfill it, or does he
00:23:18solidify his reputation.
00:24:50is already getting a new configuration. He knows perfectly well how
00:24:53to adjust the routes without his drones, so
00:24:57that they acquire, that is, let's fix this: Trump and
00:25:00company are now demonstrating alleged
00:25:03dissatisfaction with what Zelensky is doing, and in
00:25:07fact, in a military sense, they are strengthening support, yes, well,
00:25:10it is already strengthened, it is already
00:25:13strengthened, now he is afraid to do anything, because
00:25:16the Democrats are against him,
00:25:50in the event that the US makes
00:25:52a decision as a state, that is, at the level of internal
00:25:56consensus, that they are withdrawing from the Ukrainian conflict on their own
00:25:59terms, for example, by negotiating with themselves.
00:26:32She says, she says that a certain environment
00:26:35is being created where the economic factor becomes
00:26:39dominant. Everything that the respected speaker absolutely correctly
00:26:42said is elements of action
00:26:45precisely in this environment. What about the questions
00:26:48related to Trump being forced to go, the question discusses
00:26:52that he is forced to make deals, questions related to
00:26:56what, yes, and Europe will eventually come to the point where it will be forced to make a
00:26:59deal with Russia. All those critics who... related to the fact
00:27:03that Russia is silent, Russia does not respond, this is the result of this
00:27:06political sociology from the point of view of the environment, what is
00:27:09happening now. I think there might be an instant shutdown,
00:27:13if, if suddenly there is a demonstrative destruction of a tanker with
00:27:17diesel for America, this is quite real, and it could be
00:27:21like that, that is,
00:27:22Alexander, two Alexanders were specially
00:27:26seated next to each other so that they would get lost every time we addressed
00:27:29them, yes, please, I will just remind you. Two
00:27:33circumstances, the first circumstance is the words of Scott Bessent, the Minister
00:27:36of Finance, regarding the hypocrisy of Europe, which continues to export
00:27:40through third countries, to import through third countries Russian energy carriers,
00:27:44which indicates that America is well aware of what is happening in Europe and
00:27:47how Europe, in fact, that is, how this mechanism
00:27:51works,
00:27:54this is an argument for Bessent, and therefore for Trump, who will accordingly operate,
00:27:58the second is the words of Dmitry Peskov regarding the non-public
00:28:01part of the negotiations.
00:28:32States, it's not about dumping an asset called
00:28:35Ukraine. The meaning of politics is to regain
00:28:39control over it, control taken from the British and
00:28:42the Europeans. But as it happens with Trump, he wants to
00:28:46stitch a little more, that is, to earn a little more money, and
00:28:49here the meaning is not that he is even forced or not
00:28:52forced, and some indirect measures.
00:28:55The meaning is that he took and changed the rules of the game in
00:28:59the market, he dictates them, and Europe...
00:29:03I can't help but comment, I can't help myself, and
00:29:07unexpectedly, quite unexpectedly - in
00:29:09Washington they learned that Zelensky
00:29:11is illegitimate,
00:29:14the call to hold elections, he could have held them many times, he must
00:29:18resign, right, well, in plain Russian, and
00:29:21Trump knows how to speak in plain Russian, it sounds like,
00:29:24he is illegitimate, why force elections to be held, if he
00:29:28is illegitimate, why negotiate with him on equal terms at all?
00:30:02I would like to provide a little information for context, I have prepared
00:30:06graphs, please can we have them on screen, daily balance
00:30:09of diesel fuel in the USA, no, another one, please,
00:30:12first let's figure out how much diesel the United
00:30:16States consumes, another graph, can we have the next one,
00:30:19and the daily balance of diesel fuel in the USA, so approximately 5
00:30:23billion barrels, now let's move to this graph, 5 billion
00:30:26barrels
00:30:29are produced by the USA with the help of its oil refineries, and one.
