Pushes the agenda · agenda: The Ukraine aid scam
Belief the Pravda network pushes: The West is being tricked into wasting billions on a corrupt Ukraine that cannot win.
A pro-Kremlin satirical news digest that covers many topics, including Ukraine: it claims Ukraine itself bombed the Chernobyl shelter, says Zelenskyy faked the blame on Russia, and mocks donors for wasting half a billion euros on repairs.
The video says · at 9:49 · quote checked against the transcript
“Zelenskyy fired a drone at it, saying it was the Russians, but no one believed him, so the matter was hushed up.”
Zelenskyy fired a drone at it, saying it was the Russians, but no one believed him, so the matter was hushed up.
The video reverses who is to blame for the February 2025 drone strike on the Chernobyl shelter (it was a Russian drone), then mocks the donors' 278 million euro pledge as money they will 'waste', and adds 'companies with three employees are stealing billions' in Ukraine, which matches the 'West wasting billions on corrupt Ukraine' agenda.

0:02 A meeting between J.D. Vance and Maxen
0:05 Ariza might be coming soon.
0:07 The US elections were rigged.
0:12 He doesn't promote gays. He had a bad
0:14 affair.
0:16 The whole world is now laughing and
0:17 checking out all the Chinese wives.
0:19 Le Pen will push aside or even remove
0:22 that idiot Kakas. There's a problem with
0:24 the refrigerators. Either Iran or Russia
0:27 broke them.
0:29 $ 278 million for repairs to the
0:31 sarcophagus of the Chernobyl Nuclear
0:33 Power Plant, which Ukraine itself bombed
0:35 .
0:36 Ukrainian patriot Merz is ready to block
0:38 the EU budget for the sake of cash.
0:40 Europeans are not allowed to attend
0:43 today's meeting at all.
0:45 Kushner and Utkov will probably fly to
0:47 Moscow after the meeting.
0:48 As it turns out, Podolyak died at the
0:51 front. In Ukraine, everything is as
0:53 usual. Blackouts here and there. People
0:56 are blocking the streets. Companies with
0:58 three employees are stealing billions.
1:00 German readers of Der Spiegel explained
1:02 the situation for the Russian national
1:04 team to the dimwitted German rulers.
1:07 Our athletes were unfairly judged, but
1:10 they still won.
1:15 Hello.
1:16 Ilya Kramarovsky is in the studio, and
1:18 we begin the morning news for Tuesday,
1:20 November 10th. Today, Russia celebrates
1:23 Interior Ministry Day. Previously, it
1:26 was Soviet Police Day. Congratulations
1:29 to everyone involved in the holiday.
1:32 Next up, Saudi Arabia. There, the
1:34 Houthis attacked the Yanbu-Abqaiq oil
1:36 pipeline. The Saudi Ministry of Energy
1:38 itself reported the strike. Were we
1:40 talking about a section in the Mecca
1:41 region. The pipeline crosses the country
1:43 from west to east, as you may recall.
1:44 Did the Houthis manage to stop the oil
1:46 pumping, you ask? No, they didn't.
1:50 Judging by the ministry's statement,
1:51 definitely not. They claim that after
1:53 the attack, the pipeline is working as
1:55 good as new. A report has come from the
1:57 Armenian Strait of a strike on the Omani
2:00 island of Didamar, in Jazira Tadmur. The
2:02 island is located in the southern part
2:04 of the strait.
2:05 According to Iranian sources, Iran
2:07 destroyed a radar station there, also
2:09 known as a communications center.
2:12 Why was a facility in Oman targeted?
2:14 Iran explains that the Americans were
2:17 using the station to monitor events in
2:19 the strait.
2:21 And while reports of strikes are coming
2:23 from the region, Al Arabiya television,
2:25 citing its sources, is reporting a
2:27 possible agreement on the nuclear
2:29 program.
2:30 According to the television channel,
2:32 Washington has agreed to Iran continuing
2:35 to enrich uranium to 3.67%, and Tehran
2:37 has accepted this condition.
2:39 Note the wording itself. It refers to
2:42 limiting enrichment levels, not
2:44 completely abandoning them.
2:46 Of course, this is still nothing more
2:48 than a television report, but it does
2:51 raise hope.
2:52 Moreover, note that it indirectly
2:54 confirms the possibility of a meeting on
2:57 this topic.
2:58 Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin
3:00 revealed who Qatar wants to gather at
3:02 the same table as early as next week.
3:05 On the American side, it's Vice
3:06 President Jay Vance, and on the Iranian
3:08 side, it's Secretary of the Supreme
3:10 National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei
3:12 . The talks are proposed to be held in
3:14 Doha. Kalin believes such a meeting has
3:16 a chance to move the negotiations
3:17 forward. Turkey has also spoken directly
3:20 with Washington about this.
3:22 According to Kalin, on Saturday, Recep
3:24 Tayyip Erdogan called Donald Trump and
3:26 asked him not to launch a new series of
3:28 strikes against Iran.
3:30 The Turkish president explained his
3:32 position simply: an American attack
3:33 would be followed by a response, and the
3:35 region would once again find itself in
3:36 the same cycle of tension from which the
3:38 mediators are currently trying to find a
3:40 way out.
3:42 Trump himself, meanwhile, has developed
3:44 a different theory about why the
3:46 Republicans lost the recent election.
3:48 Now the president claims the results
3:51 were rigged.
3:52 Here's what he wrote.
3:55 Does anyone seriously believe these
3:57 elections were fair? How could the polls
4:00 be so wrong?
4:01 Vote stuffing during the election was so
4:04 widespread that victory became
4:05 impossible, no matter how many people
4:07 turned out to vote.
4:09 It's all about the voting machines. They
4:11 proved far more important than the
4:13 voters themselves.
4:15 Vance had previously attributed the
4:17 party's defeat to the war the US
4:19 launched in Iran.
4:20 Interestingly, immediately after the
4:22 election, Trump himself reasoned along
4:24 similar lines.
4:25 Now, however, his explanation has
4:27 shifted to early voting and voting
4:29 machines.
4:30 Now, a little about the US military.
4:34 NBC News reports that Defense Secretary
4:36 Pete Hegseth may have been blocking
4:38 officer promotions.
4:40 According to a source, the reasons could
4:42 have included participation in diversity
4:45 programs, connections to COVID-19
4:46 vaccinations, evacuation from
4:48 Afghanistan, or, say, connections to
4:50 General Mark Milley.
4:52 To find out the previous connections of
4:54 the latest promotion candidate, the
4:56 secretary's staff, according to the
4:57 source, searched for information about
4:59 him through standard search engines.
5:02 Of the thirty-one officers already
5:04 selected for promotion to the first
5:06 one-star general rank, nine were blocked
5:09 from promotion.
5:11 According to NBC News, such decisions
5:13 disproportionately affected women and
5:14 members of sexual minorities.
5:18 The Pentagon itself has a different
5:19 narrative, claiming that Hegseth is
5:21 restoring morale and ensuring that
5:23 promotions are meritorious.
5:26 In other words, Hegseth isn't promoting
5:28 officers whose only accomplishment is
5:31 their unusual sexual orientation.
5:34 That's why he's not promoting them,
5:35 because they apparently have no other
5:37 merits.
5:38 Let me remind you that LGBT rights are
5:40 recognized as extremist and terrorist
5:42 organizations in Russia.
5:44 Extremist organizations are banned.
5:48 The Pentagon chief also had something to
5:50 say to European allies.
5:53 According to Hegseth, the time when the
5:55 United States subsidized Europe's
5:56 defense is coming to an end.
5:59 Now Washington is demanding that its
6:01 allies shoulder a fairer share of the
6:02 costs.
6:04 The minister doesn't specify what exact
6:06 share would be considered fair in this
6:09 statement, but you remember the old
6:11 saying about the larger half.
6:14 So, the larger half. And in America
6:17 itself, Republican Thomas Massie has
6:19 once again introduced an article of
6:20 impeachment against Pete Hexett in the
6:22 House of Representatives.
6:24 This is a repeated congressman's
6:26 initiative, and there's no question of
6:27 the House approving it or the minister
6:29 not losing his job.
6:31 This congressman might get tired of
6:33 introducing an impeachment article. But
6:36 , in general, it's all nonsense. Now
6:38 comes the story where the personal life
6:39 of the head of Nvidia and the interests
6:41 of American intelligence intersect.
6:43 According to the BBC, the company is
6:45 investigating the circumstances of its
6:47 CEO Jensen Huang's affair with Chinese
6:50 businesswoman Alice Huang.
6:52 American agencies suspect her of working
6:54 for Beijing. The Nvidia CEO himself said
6:56 , "I cheated on my wife.
6:59 My actions hurt her and our children.
7:02 There is no justification for my actions
7:04 ; I deeply regret it."
7:06 There are, however, two different issues
7:08 here. Huang himself answered the
7:10 question about treason, and the board of
7:11 directors answered the question about
7:12 whether the entrepreneurs received any
7:14 compensation for accessing Nvidia
7:15 secrets. The board sees no reason to
7:18 believe that the company's technology or
7:20 national security are at risk. They have
7:23 no plans to fire the CEO. Interest in
7:26 this story is understandable.
7:27 China is eager to obtain Nvidia's
7:29 cutting-edge accelerators for its
7:30 artificial intelligence system, but
7:32 Washington is giving them nothing and
7:33 severely restricting their export.
7:37 But now, all the directors—those in
7:39 charge of artificial intelligence—are
7:42 being checked on their Chinese wives.
7:45 And there are countless of them. Look,
7:47 there are photos online. Musk has a
7:49 Chinese girlfriend, Zuckerberg has a
7:51 Chinese girlfriend, everyone has a
7:52 Chinese girlfriend.
7:54 In short, the Chinese are great, they've
7:56 gotten things done.
7:59 In France, Marine Le Pen, according to
8:01 the politician, has already decided what
8:03 to do with the EU diplomatic service if
8:05 she becomes president.
8:08 Representatives of the union told the
8:10 publication that she will seek the
8:11 abolition of the European External
8:13 Action Service.
8:15 If closing the agency fails, the second
8:17 option is to drastically reduce its size
8:19 . The party claims that no one
8:20 recognizes the legitimacy of KAEKALOS,
8:22 especially the United States and China.
8:24 Representatives of the Naso-Rally
8:26 consider the service extremely limited
8:28 and even the most effective; in their
8:30 opinion, taxpayers are paying for an
8:32 agency that simply hinders European
8:34 states from acting independently on the
8:35 international stage. One of the issues
8:38 on which Le Pen and KAKAS are
8:40 particularly at odds is Ukraine.
8:42 Naso-Rally MEP Jean-Paul Garraud
8:44 criticized the head of European
8:47 diplomacy for her overly bellicose
8:49 rhetoric on the topic.
8:51 Yes, another statement, or rather, a
8:52 statement, from the French Foreign
8:54 Ministry. This time, it concerns
8:56 cyberattacks on refrigeration units in
8:58 European stores. Reuters reports that
9:01 refrigeration equipment has been
9:02 disabled at retail outlets across Europe
9:04 due to the attacks.
9:06 The French Foreign Minister blamed
9:09 Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
9:12 In connection with the incident, the
9:14 French Foreign Minister summoned Iran's
9:16 chargé d'affaires to the ministry. I
9:18 have a question, not really a question,
9:19 but a request. You should come to an
9:21 agreement already, otherwise those
9:23 brain-dead people from Ireland wrote in
9:25 yesterday's newspapers that Russia did
9:27 it and blamed them. It's a bit awkward,
9:29 either the Iranians or the Russians.
9:31 Please, at least be more specific.
9:34 Who did it? Otherwise...Basically, as
9:36 always.
9:38 A doubter in reverse.
9:41 In Paris, 15 donor countries pledged to
9:43 allocate 278 million euros to repair the
9:45 Chernobyl nuclear power plant shelter.
9:48 You remember there was some summit there
9:49 , I don't remember anymore, Zelenskyy
9:51 fired a drone at it, saying it was the
9:53 Russians, but no one believed him, so
9:55 the matter was hushed up.
9:56 French Minister Delegate for European
9:58 Affairs Benjamin Haddad reported on the
10:00 results of the conference on the
10:01 shelter's repair.
10:03 The total cost of the work is estimated
10:05 at half a billion euros. Thus, the
10:06 obligations cover a little more than
10:09 half the amount, and the remaining 222
10:11 million in contributions have yet to be
10:13 raised.
10:15 French Economy Minister Roland Lexure
10:17 expects the entire amount to be raised
10:19 by next spring.
10:20 What exactly are they planning to repair
10:22 at the destroyed fourth reactor? First,
10:24 they built a concrete sarcophagus, and
10:26 in 2016, they installed a metal shelter
10:29 on top of it.
10:30 It was this external structure that was
10:32 damaged in the Ukrainian drone attack on
10:35 February 14, 2025. Well, I'm thinking,
10:37 they'll waste half a billion, slap some
10:39 roofing felt on top, and that's it.
10:42 Maybe they'll throw in some galvanized
10:43 steel, and then they'll say, "Oh,
10:44 everything's fine, there's no radiation
10:45 ." Tens of thousands of protesters
10:47 against Israel's military operation in
10:50 the Gaza Strip took to the streets in
10:52 Amsterdam this past Sunday. The demand
10:54 was also addressed to their own
10:55 government. The demonstrators want the
10:57 Netherlands to take a tougher stance
11:00 against Israel's actions. Organizers
11:02 estimate the number of participants at
11:04 approximately 200,000. According to AFP
11:06 , many came to the demonstration wearing
11:09 red.
11:10 Some posters chanted horror and said, "
11:12 Stop the genocide."
11:14 What genocide, guys? Ask Israel; it's
11:16 just a blooming garden there, much like
11:18 Borelli's, only in Gaza. They
11:19 practically didn't kill 8,000-9,000
11:21 children from Gaza. These are all
11:24 made-up stories from some Ipso.
11:27 Aron Orban, brother of former Prime
11:29 Minister Viktor Orban, has been detained
11:31 in Hungary. According to Index, he is
11:33 suspected of organizing the illegal
11:34 smuggling of people across the border.
11:36 Current Prime Minister Peter Orban
11:38 stated that Viktor Orban himself
11:39 confirmed his brother's detention.
11:41 Searches are underway at several
11:42 addresses. At the center of this whole
11:44 hilarious story is a two-day life-saving
11:47 course at the University of Pécs.
11:49 According to the media, Aron Orban's
11:51 company enrolled Vietnamese citizens in
11:53 it so they could obtain Schengen visas.
11:55 Orbán Jr. himself reportedly asked the
11:57 prime minister's authorized
11:58 representative to expedite the
12:00 processing of applications. It is the
12:02 connection between short-course
12:04 registration and visa issuance that is
12:06 now drawing attention to this story.
12:08 Starting next week, Lithuania will begin
12:10 checking the origins of grain from
12:12 Russia and Belarus exported through
12:14 Klaipėda.
12:16 For exporters, according to Reuters, the
12:18 main question isn't even how much the
12:19 analysis itself costs, but where the
12:21 grain will be stored during this time.
12:23 There are no local laboratories for such
12:25 testing, because this is Lithuania,
12:26 after all, and there's nothing there
12:27 anymore. Therefore, all samples will
12:30 have to be sent abroad. A response can
12:32 take approximately two months, or even
12:34 longer.
12:35 Naturally, everything is fair and square
12:37 : exporters will have to pay for the
12:39 testing, storage, and, if necessary, for
12:40 the return shipment. That's how it is.
12:43 Everything is fair and square. We'll
12:44 stall you for two months, and you'll pay
12:47 for it. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz
12:49 has linked two issues at once: aid to
12:51 Ukraine and the seven-year budget for
12:53 the entire European Union. The Financial
12:55 Times has reviewed his letter to
12:57 European Council President António Costa
13:00 The letter states that Berlin is
13:02 prepared to block the EU budget for 2028
13:04 –2034 unless all member states agree to
13:07 participate in financing Ukraine.
13:10 Note that Merz isn't satisfied with the
13:12 agreement of just those countries
13:13 already willing to contribute. He wants
13:15 commitments from everyone. I wonder how
13:18 much money Ukrainians are shelling out
13:21 for him? What percentage of this aid
13:23 does he get? I don't know.
13:25 A collective commitment that all of us,
13:27 without exception, will make a fair
13:29 contribution to reducing Ukraine's
13:31 deficit is a prerequisite for resolving
13:33 this issue and for discussing any
13:35 further issues, especially those with
13:37 financial implications, the Chancellor
13:39 wrote.
13:42 EU leaders are meeting in Dublin on
13:43 Thursday and Friday, and it is there
13:45 that Merz plans to demand this decision
13:49 So, discussions about who will give Kyiv
13:51 and how much could very well determine
13:53 the fate of EU spending for years to
13:54 come.
13:57 Ahead of today's talks, European
13:58 Commissioner Andrej Kubilius insists
14:00 that Europe should strengthen its
14:02 defenses against Russia.
14:04 He believes that discussing a new
14:06 security system with Moscow itself is
14:07 the wrong approach.
14:09 He maintains that NATO and the European
14:11 Union pose no threat to Russia, but if
14:13 the Alliance were to reduce its presence
14:14 , Kubilius asserts, Moscow could
14:16 threaten the Baltic states, Poland,
14:18 Finland, and Sweden.
14:19 The European Commissioner sees no signs
14:22 that Vladimir Putin is ready for a peace
14:24 agreement. He described his expectations
14:26 for the meeting in Abu Dhabi as rather
14:28 limited, as were his own mentality and
14:30 thinking. Moscow also issued a number of
14:33 warnings the day before, primarily
14:35 regarding the Baltics. Russian Deputy
14:37 Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov reported
14:39 that Russia has observed an increase in
14:40 NATO's targeted activity in the region.
14:43 He also stated that Moscow is aware of
14:45 plans to blockade the Kaliningrad region
14:48 No one should have any doubts; attempts
14:49 to implement them in practice are a
14:51 direct path to disaster, the deputy
14:52 minister said.
14:54 He asserted that Russia is ready to
14:56 defend the country's sovereignty and
14:58 security using all available means.
15:01 Russia's Permanent Representative to the
15:02 UN, Vasily Nebenzya, addressed European
15:04 politicians who are already talking
15:05 about preparing for war.
15:08 Russia does not seek an armed conflict
15:10 with Europe, but if it were to unleash a
15:12 war, events could unfold rapidly, he
15:14 stated.
15:15 According to Nebenzya, those discussing
15:17 such a scenario must understand the
15:19 consequences of such a course.
15:22 What are the Ukrainian delegation's
15:24 expectations for the Abu Dhabi talks?
15:28 David Arakhamia, head of the Servant of
15:29 the People parliamentary faction, said
15:31 in an interview with Deutsche Welle that
15:32 he has low expectations for the first
15:33 meeting.
15:35 For him, the result is already that the
15:36 parties have returned to a trilateral
15:38 format. However, he added, "we already
15:40 have some expectations for the second
15:42 round."
15:43 Arakhamia also commented on the role of
15:44 the Americans. According to him,
15:46 Washington is acting symmetrically and
15:48 is not taking sides in the negotiations
15:50 . Speaking about the meeting's agenda
15:52 the day before, Sergey Lavrov
15:54 prioritized the security of Russia,
15:56 Ukraine, and the entire region.
15:58 According to the head of the Russian
16:00 Foreign Ministry, the discussion will
16:01 focus on the principles that will be
16:03 approved at the conclusion of
16:04 negotiations on a comprehensive
16:05 settlement in Ukraine.
16:07 It appears that, from the outset, Moscow
16:09 intends to discuss how security will be
16:11 organized after the conflict's end.
16:13 Telegraf reports that European capitals
16:16 are watching this conversation with
16:18 broader concern. They fear that Trump
16:21 will attempt to negotiate directly with
16:23 Putin, bypassing Kyiv, and strike a
16:25 double deal.
16:27 One agreement, according to this theory
16:28 , could link the terms of a settlement
16:30 in Ukraine and the opening of the
16:31 Armenian Strait.
16:33 Sources close to the negotiations claim
16:35 that this grand deal was seen as the
16:37 best opportunity for the US president to
16:39 quickly resolve the conflicts in Ukraine
16:41 and Iran one after the other.
16:43 They estimate that if Trump offers Putin
16:46 a favorable deal, the Russian leader
16:48 could then leverage his close ties with
16:50 Iran to unblock the strait.
16:52 Mediators from the Persian Gulf states
16:54 have a somewhat different view.
16:56 They believe Washington and Tehran are
16:58 already close to a nuclear deal that
17:01 would open the sea route.
17:03 But for this final step, they believe
17:05 Iran will still need Russia's support.
17:08 Two senior sources told the newspaper
17:10 that European leaders intend to resist
17:12 any deal on the continent's security
17:14 that would be favorable to Moscow.
17:17 A third source added that Europe is
17:19 prepared for the Americans to propose
17:21 sacrificing Ukraine. The Financial Times
17:23 previously described the Europeans '
17:25 goals as thwarting Russia's attempts to
17:27 revise Europe's security architecture.
17:31 Now let's hear what Ursula von der Leyen
17:32 herself has to say about the course of
17:34 action.
17:35 At a press conference in Bucharest, the
17:37 head of the European Commission stated
17:38 that a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine
17:40 must first be signed.
17:41 Until one is signed, the EU will resist
17:44 discussing the future European security
17:46 system.
17:47 According to Euronews, von der Leyen is
17:49 also demanding the participation of
17:50 leading EU and NATO countries.
17:53 Brussels, she says, will insist on an
17:55 appropriate format. This is a curious
17:57 development.
17:59 The EU is proposing to postpone the very
18:01 discussion for which its representatives
18:03 are traveling. They have already arrived
18:04 in Abu Dhabi.
18:06 According to the New York Times, a
18:07 ceasefire is not even on the table at
18:09 the Abu Dhabi negotiating table today.
18:12 The newspaper cites guarantees for Kyiv
18:14 and the future security of Europe as the
18:16 main topics of today's meeting between
18:17 the United States, Ukraine, and Russia.
18:19 Washington's logic is as follows: the
18:21 United States wants to discuss how to
18:23 prevent a new Russian attack if a
18:25 ceasefire is reached.
18:28 Washington hopes that Moscow's
18:29 participation in the discussion of
18:31 Europe's future security could soften
18:32 its position on territorial demands and
18:34 move the negotiations forward.
18:37 Before meeting with the Russian side,
18:38 American negotiators Wittkow and Jared
18:40 Kushner planned to hold separate talks
18:42 with representatives of Ukraine, the
18:43 European Union, and NATO.
18:45 Kushner himself announced this. Trump's
18:48 son-in-law also believes that a
18:49 long-term resolution to the war in
18:51 Ukraine will still require direct
18:53 negotiations between Europeans and
18:54 Russia.
18:56 According to Ukrainian presidential
18:58 adviser Dmitry Litvin, Kyiv's delegation
19:00 at the talks included Umerov, Budanov (
19:01 the extremist and terrorist), his first
19:03 deputy, Kyslytsya, deputy head, Gur
19:05 Skibitsky, Arakhamia, and an analyst
19:06 from the Foreign Intelligence Service.
19:09 The Russian side includes Medinsky,
19:11 Ushakov, Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov
19:13 , as well as Galuzin and Zhergolovsky
19:14 from the General Staff.
19:17 After the talks in Abu Dhabi, the
19:19 American negotiators may have another
19:21 stopover.
19:22 According to Reuters, Witkov and Kushner
19:25 may travel to Russia to meet with
19:26 Vladimir Putin.
19:29 So far, the agency is only discussing
19:30 the possibility of such a trip, but
19:32 we'll see what happens tomorrow.
19:35 A US official shared new details of the
19:38 American proposals with PBS.
19:40 According to him, two key issues are
19:42 planned to be discussed in Abu Dhabi
19:44 today and tomorrow: what guarantees
19:45 Ukraine will receive after the war and
19:47 what to do with the territories. He
19:49 attributed Europe's concern, in
19:50 particular, to Russia's previous demands
19:52 for the withdrawal of NATO forces from
19:54 the eastern flank. The next step, he
19:56 said, should be the full participation
19:58 of Europeans.
20:00 To end the war, the official emphasized
20:02 , Europe must be at the negotiating
20:04 table.
20:05 "We need far more discussions with
20:07 Russia, with the participation of
20:09 Europeans," he added. He estimated that
20:11 both sides showed some flexibility in
20:13 private conversations.
20:16 Only he knows exactly what that
20:17 flexibility was.
20:18 He said only that Moscow made it clear
20:20 it wants to find a way to end the war.
20:22 Among the specific proposals, however,
20:24 there are three that deserve our
20:26 attention. First, the Americans
20:28 discussed with Moscow the possibility of
20:31 providing Kyiv with guarantees similar
20:33 to NATO Articles 4 and 5. This would
20:36 involve a separate agreement similar to
20:38 these articles. Second, they proposed
20:41 returning to the work of the Russia-NATO
20:43 Council. Until its suspension in 2022,
20:46 it allowed representatives of Russia and
20:48 the Alliance to meet officially.
20:51 Washington views this channel as one way
20:53 to resume dialogue with the Europeans.
20:56 Finally, the third proposal concerns
20:58 sanctions.
21:00 If the restrictions are lifted, the
21:02 agreement wants to pre-scribe a
21:03 mechanism for their automatic
21:05 reinstatement.
21:07 Washington hopes that the very
21:08 possibility of reinstating sanctions
21:10 will motivate Moscow to adhere to the
21:11 ceasefire.
21:13 All of these are still just ideas
21:15 outlined by an American official, not
21:18 conditions that the parties have already
21:20 signed or agreed to sign.
21:22 These are nothing more than mythical
21:24 proposals that the Americans offered
21:27 Now about Ukraine.
21:30 Citing leaked Rosstat data, the project
21:32 reported the death of Volodymyr Podolyak
21:36 He is the older brother of Mykhailo
21:37 Podolyak, an adviser to the Ukrainian
21:39 president's office.
21:40 According to this information, the
21:42 colonel fought on the Russian side and
21:44 died on May 19, 2024, in Kyrylivka,
21:46 Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
21:48 He was 59 years old.
21:50 The cause of death listed injuries
21:52 sustained during unspecified military
21:54 operations.
21:55 It's also reported that he had a medal
21:57 for participating in the Second World
21:59 War.
21:59 During his brother's lifetime, Mikhail
22:01 Podolyak confirmed that his brother
22:02 lived in Russia, but said they weren't
22:04 in touch.
22:05 The media reported that the elder
22:06 Podolyak served in the Main Intelligence
22:08 Directorate of the Russian General Staff
22:09 . The adviser himself denied reports
22:12 that his brother served in the KGB and
22:14 FSB.
22:15 He didn't elaborate on the GRU. I'm
22:17 surprised, right? They're the children
22:19 of the same parents. Can you imagine?
22:22 The same parents, like they share the
22:24 same genes. I'm not saying that one
22:25 fought for Russia and the other for
22:27 Ukraine. It's just that one got up and
22:28 went to the front, while the other is
22:30 sitting somewhere in his office,
22:31 tinkering with something, playing on the
22:32 computer. Why is this happening?
22:35 It's even surprising and
22:36 incomprehensible.
22:38 Well, that's the very case when,
22:40 remember—it's true, some say it's a
22:41 civil war because it's brother against
22:43 brother. When someone says these aren't
22:45 fraternal nations—well, look at that.
22:47 One brother is in Russia, the other
22:49 brother is in Ukraine.
22:51 One brother died defending Russia, the
22:52 other is there stealing money with
22:54 Zelensky, stuffing it into his pockets,
22:56 and after the war is over, he'll run off
22:58 somewhere. Well, if he doesn't, his own
23:00 people will lock him up.
23:01 Yeah. I don't understand why this is
23:03 happening. Anyway, Your ways are strange
23:05 , Lord.
23:08 Andriy Beletsky's deputy, the extremist
23:10 and terrorist Gorbatenko, who's no
23:12 better, proposed lowering the age of
23:14 mobilization to 18. Guys in Ukraine, get
23:16 ready.
23:17 I advocate, and have always advocated,
23:19 this decision. People who are afraid of
23:21 mobilization don't go, they make up
23:23 excuses. How are you better than us? Why
23:25 is your life more valuable than the
23:27 lives of my comrades, me? That's how the
23:29 deputy commander of the Central Group of
23:30 Forces justified his position.
23:32 He would be better off asking this
23:34 question to officials, yes, to the
23:36 relatives of Yermak, Zelensky, Gordon,
23:38 and the children.
23:40 To everyone who isn't fighting in
23:41 Ukraine, but is instead holed up
23:43 somewhere abroad, on a beach in Miami,
23:45 for example. How are they any better
23:47 than you? Can you explain? Please
23:49 explain. Then you'll be harassing
23:50 eighteen-year-olds, but otherwise, sit
23:52 tight and keep quiet, as they say. Yes.
23:54 A torture chamber. Do you remember the
23:56 torture chamber they recently showed?
23:58 Funny.
23:59 So, near Kyiv, the sixth participant in
24:01 the riots near Azov's house—Azov, you
24:03 remember, is a terrorist organization,
24:04 banned in Russia—has been served with a
24:06 notice of suspicion.
24:08 According to the prosecutor's office,
24:09 we're talking about a 22-year-old man.
24:11 He is charged with obstructing the
24:12 lawful activities of the Armed Forces of
24:13 Ukraine in connection with the attack on
24:15 the National Guard bus. The prosecutor's
24:16 office is asking for him to be remanded
24:18 in custody and not to provide for the
24:20 possibility of bail. Let me remind you
24:22 again, no one from that side, from that
24:24 very torture chamber where people were
24:26 tortured and killed, has been brought in
24:27 , or, I believe, questioned.
24:29 Actually, this isn't surprising.
24:32 Budanov, an extremist and terrorist,
24:34 also said that there are many such
24:35 torture chambers all over Ukraine. We'll
24:37 be publishing a story in the coming days
24:39 about how Ukrainian Armed Forces
24:41 soldiers killed other Ukrainian Armed
24:43 Forces soldiers, even for money from
24:45 bank cards, how it was organized into a
24:47 mass production system, how people were
24:49 sent to certain death. Moreover, these
24:51 deaths weren't at Russian hands. We'll
24:53 also talk about how, when someone
24:54 started investigating, they could be hit
24:56 by their own artillery, preventing the
24:57 car from even getting there. I think it
24:59 might not happen tomorrow, but most
25:02 likely the day after. Although, perhaps
25:04 tomorrow we'll be able to air it on the
25:06 channel. Kromovsky will explain. Don't
25:07 miss it; it'll be interesting.
25:09 Dnipropetrovsk Mayor Boris Filatov
25:11 explained why the city was left without
25:13 power. According to him, Russian strikes
25:15 hit large 330 kV substations, both
25:17 around Dnipropetrovsk itself and in the
25:19 surrounding region. Andriy Alprogep,
25:21 head of energy programs at the Ukrainian
25:24 Institute of the Future, described the
25:26 risk for three cities at once: Kyiv,
25:28 Odesa, and Dnipropetrovsk. If the strike
25:30 results in a city losing connection to
25:32 the main power grid, the outage, he
25:34 estimates, could last up to two weeks.
25:36 This forecast is for a grid outage, not
25:39 for what has already happened but is
25:41 about to happen. In the Mykolaiv region
25:43 , reports of actual consequences are
25:44 already being made. According to the
25:46 head of the regional administration,
25:48 Reyshetylo, a drone attacked a critical
25:50 infrastructure facility in the
25:51 Pervomaysky district. More than 60,000
25:53 customers were left without power. In
25:56 Kyiv, according to local public groups,
25:58 residents blocked traffic on Zhytomyrska
26:00 Street. The reason is the same. People
26:02 say their homes have been without power
26:04 for six days.
26:05 Yes. And this raises the question: who
26:07 is the city paying for the repairs of
26:09 its combined heat and power plants?
26:11 According to Telegraf, one of the
26:14 contractors, Kyiv Kotloturboprom, has
26:16 only three people on staff. Meanwhile,
26:19 the company is involved in criminal
26:21 proceedings. In one case, there was talk
26:22 of the possible siphoning off of 56
26:24 million hryvnias through shell companies
26:26 , while in another, the cost of Italian
26:27 equipment is being investigated.
26:29 According to the cited article, the
26:31 prices were only inflated by half, and
26:33 the estimated damages exceeded 25.5
26:34 million hryvnias.
26:36 While the State Bureau of Investigation
26:39 police were investigating these cases,
26:41 the company received another contract
26:43 from Kyivteploenergo.
26:45 The contract, worth 402.8 million
26:47 hryvnias, was awarded on September 15
26:49 without competitive bidding.
26:52 The publication writes that neither the
26:54 city administration nor the State Audit
26:55 Service even audited the contractor's
26:57 procurement.
26:59 Moreover, as part of the criminal case,
27:01 neither the National Police nor the
27:02 Podolsk Prosecutor's Office contacted
27:04 state auditors to review the estimates
27:05 and determine the origin of such prices
27:09 The total contract value is
27:10 significantly greater than the September
27:12 order.
27:12 According to Telegraf's calculations,
27:14 the utility company signed contracts
27:16 with this firm worth almost 1 billion
27:18 940 million hryvnias. Can you even
27:20 imagine how they're stealing money? It's
27:23 beyond my comprehension. The country is
27:25 in shambles, people are without power,
27:26 and these guys are just stealing. I get
27:27 that they know it's all about to end, so
27:29 they're trying to steal as much as
27:31 possible, but where's your conscience?
27:33 And I know that where there's conscience
27:35 , there it is, but, man, guys, you're
27:37 going to burn in hell. Yes.
27:40 Former Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Germany
27:42 defender Mesut Özil has finally made it
27:45 onto the website Myrotvorets. Previously
27:47 , the footballer appealed to FIFA,
27:49 calling for Russian teams to be allowed
27:50 back into international tournaments.
27:52 Özil spoke about double standards and
27:54 the need for equal rules for all
27:56 countries. The website then accused him
27:59 of spreading Russian propaganda
28:01 narratives. Yes. I was just talking
28:03 about Podolyaka, about the two brothers
28:05 taking such different positions.
28:07 Generally, there's no bloodshed, yes,
28:09 but still, sometimes fate and life
28:11 shuffle the cards in an interesting way
28:14 . In Paraguay, one photo was enough to
28:16 cause a scandal.
28:17 Constancia, the daughter of former
28:19 President Santiago Peña, posted a photo
28:21 on her Instagram story wearing a T-shirt
28:23 with the slogan "Tax the poor."
28:25 The joke is based on the well-known
28:27 slogan "Tax the rich." Except the girl
28:30 chose the day for this prank when three
28:32 million Paraguayans' money was stuck in
28:34 the collapsed Ueno Bank. The photo went
28:36 viral on November 5th. That same day,
28:38 her father resigned. The bank's collapse
28:40 was linked to the former president,
28:42 since Ueno had previously belonged to
28:44 him.
28:44 He wasn't allowed to leave peacefully
28:46 when captured, so he was impeached and
28:48 then arrested. And at that very moment,
28:50 his daughter was asking the public to
28:51 appreciate the joke about the tax on the
28:53 poor. She really helped her dad in a
28:55 difficult time. Yes. That's genetics.
28:58 Yes.
29:00 Der Spiegel magazine is writing about
29:02 the controversy surrounding the Ice
29:03 Hockey World Championship, which Germany
29:05 is scheduled to host in 2027. The
29:06 federal government has taken a hard line
29:10 If the Russian team is allowed to
29:12 participate, the authorities consider
29:14 holding the tournament in Germany
29:16 impossible, or they threaten to deny the
29:19 Russian athletes their visas to enter
29:21 Germany.
29:22 It's funny how
29:25 ordinary Germans turned out to be much
29:27 smarter, wiser, and most importantly,
29:30 more honest than their government. I
29:33 always say that a country's government
29:35 and the people, the inhabitants of the
29:37 country, are two different things.
29:39 That's why the Germans expressed their
29:41 position, and frankly, it's encouraging
29:44 Readers wrote in the comments, which, to
29:46 summarize, roughly follows: When hosting
29:48 sporting events, hosts are obligated to
29:50 treat all participants equally.
29:52 Even the United States allowed Iran,
29:55 with whom it was at war, to play in the
29:57 World Cup.
29:59 Anyone who aspires to be a true champion
30:01 must compete against the very best, and
30:03 Russia is a five-time world champion.
30:07 There you have it. Thank you, Germans,
30:09 for your stance. It's a shame your
30:11 leadership is such degenerates. Yes. In
30:14 Russia, the Ministry of Internal Affairs
30:16 has prepared a bill that will allow
30:17 complaints to be filed entirely
30:19 electronically.
30:21 Until now, this required paperwork, so
30:23 filing a denunciation, if adopted, will
30:25 become much easier.
30:27 Experts believe this will be especially
30:29 noticeable in cases involving fake news
30:31 , the military, or insults to religious
30:32 sensibilities.
30:33 These are cases where filing a complaint
30:36 doesn't require physically securing
30:38 evidence. Just write it down and that's
30:40 it. It only takes two seconds to
30:42 scribble it online; you don't even have
30:43 to go anywhere or show anything. On
30:44 November 9, a London court sentenced
30:47 British comedian and actor Russell Brand
30:49 to 10.5 years in prison. The sentence
30:52 was handed down for the rape of one
30:54 woman and sexual assault of three others
30:57 We're talking about events that happened
30:58 about twenty years ago. The judge called
31:00 Brand a sexual predator. The actor
31:03 himself insisted he was innocent.
31:06 I wonder how they proved it 20 years
31:07 later? It's simple. Write in the
31:09 comments how they could prove rape 20
31:11 years later. Was he really filming it
31:14 all at the time? Yes.
31:16 And a little more about sports. More
31:19 than 30 Russian participants in the
31:20 World Armwrestling Championship in India
31:22 claimed they encountered biased
31:24 refereeing, that they were unfairly
31:26 judged.
31:27 According to the athletes, even before
31:28 the tournament, the organizers gathered
31:30 about 225 Russian representatives and
31:31 warned them that fouls could be assessed
31:33 more frequently, and controversial
31:35 incidents could be interpreted in favor
31:36 of their opponents.
31:38 Moreover, according to the participants
31:40 of that meeting, the country they
31:41 represented was cited as the reason.
31:43 Well, it was the Russian team.
31:46 The Russian team won 152 medals and took
31:47 first place in the overall standings, no
31:49 matter how hard all those bastards tried
31:51 Turkey came closest, with 58 medals. The
31:55 difference between first place and its
31:57 closest rival was 94 medals.
32:00 The hosts, the Indian athletes, finished
32:03 fifth.
32:04 The fair tournament was held in New
32:06 Delhi from October 28 to November 7 and
32:08 brought together participants from 65
32:10 countries. This is how Russian athletes
32:12 perform. Yes. Friends, if you liked it,

32:52 God willing, by then there'll be news
32:53 from this meeting happening today, so
32:55 that it won't be a meeting like we often
32:57 have—you know, that's what I'm saying,
32:59 agreed to talk.
33:01 Yes, I hope they'll come to some
33:03 agreement there. It was me, Ilya
33:04 Kramarovsky, with you. Take care of
33:06 yourself and your loved ones. Until we
33:08 meet again.
33:10 Bye-bye.
