0:02 The problem is not the Palestinians, but
0:04 Israel. That is what the head of Turkish
0:06 intelligence thinks. Iran is lifting
0:08 range restrictions on its missiles. A
0:11 fool blurted it out, and three million
0:13 dollars went down the drain. The idiots
0:16 we elect. Zelenskyy felt his own people
0:19 around and grew bolder. France is having
0:22 its traditional riots and strikes, and
0:24 Germany is joining them.
0:26 Azov has arrived in Latvia to repel an
0:30 Sikorski is quite the loose woman, and
0:33 I’ll tell you why. Trump says he will
0:36 reach a deal with Putin, and Europe is
0:38 afraid of just that. A massive attack on
0:41 Ukraine. There is no electricity, and
0:43 the North Bridge is closed.
0:45 Along with the first snow, Ukraine loses
0:48 New bonuses and nice perks for Russians
0:50 from the government.
0:52 And yet another official and his 52
0:55 properties. An honest man, go ahead and
1:02 I am Ilya Kramarovsky in the studio, and
1:04 we are starting the Saturday evening
1:06 news for November 7th.
1:08 I will begin with how one common
1:09 expression can set the tone for an
1:11 entire conversation.
1:13 The head of Turkish intelligence,
1:14 Ibrahim Kalin, drew attention to the
1:16 phrasing usually used to start
1:17 discussions about the future of the
1:19 Middle East, for instance, Gaza.
1:22 We always talk about the Palestinian
1:24 question as if the problem lies with the
1:27 This is fundamentally wrong. The problem
1:31 Without ending the Israeli occupation,
1:33 there will be no peace or justice in the
1:37 There you have it. In principle,
1:39 everyone knew this, but nonetheless, he
1:40 voiced it out loud. In general, lately
1:43 Turkey and Israel have been having some
1:45 minor friction, and because of this,
1:47 friction is starting between Turkey and
1:51 In Washington's negotiations with Tehran
1:53 , one of the main actors, oddly enough,
1:56 has become U.S. Vice President J.D.
1:58 Vance. As Axios reports, he has been
2:00 personally participating in indirect
2:02 contacts with the Iranian side for two
2:05 He has two issues on the table. How to
2:08 achieve a new ceasefire agreement and
2:10 how to return to negotiations on the
2:12 Iranian nuclear program.
2:15 According to the publication, Trump is
2:17 now increasingly inclined to reach an
2:19 agreement and avoid a new series of
2:20 large-scale strikes, rather than
2:24 A statement of a completely different
2:26 nature is coming from Tehran itself.
2:27 Iran has lifted restrictions on the
2:29 flight range of its missiles.
2:31 Official representative of the Islamic
2:33 Revolutionary Guard Corps Hossein
2:35 Mohebbi states that if the need arises,
2:37 the country can demonstrate the maximum
2:40 range its weapons are capable of.
2:42 He did not specify a concrete distance,
2:44 of course, but he hinted at it
2:45 nonetheless. Iran is also preparing for
2:48 another turn of events. Near Iranian
2:51 nuclear facilities, residents have
2:53 started being given iodine tablets,
2:55 which are supposedly meant to help
2:57 tolerate radiation more easily or for a
3:01 So they are preparing for strikes on
3:03 their nuclear facilities.
3:06 Hossein Mohebbi also expressed that Iran
3:08 continues its production of weapons and
3:10 the modernization of its armaments.
3:13 He said that no one can prevent this.
3:16 They do not use foreign weapons; they
3:18 only make their own.
3:21 Let’s move to the USA. Arizona
3:23 Congresswoman Yasmin Ansari stated that
3:26 on their very first day, Democrats
3:28 intend to halt the development of
3:30 advanced artificial intelligence models
3:32 and impose strict restrictions. Look at
3:35 how interesting this turns out to be.
3:36 The speech of an idiot politician who
3:38 isn't using her head at all.
3:40 Well, the market's reaction to this
3:42 stupidity was estimated at approximately
3:43 three trillion dollars.
3:45 A drop in the value of American stocks
3:47 by three trillion dollars. This is now
3:49 being linked specifically to her
3:51 publication. Of course, attributing the
3:52 entire movement of the stock market to a
3:54 single tweet is a bold conclusion.
3:57 But nonetheless, Democrats say they will
3:59 control AI development, and people
4:01 connected to this field are pulling
4:02 their money out, so stocks are just
4:05 It’s curious, but both of Ansari's
4:07 parents are from Iran.
4:10 A spy theory practically begs to be told
4:12 about deep-cover agents, I would say,
4:14 and that she went in there specifically
4:16 to crash the American market.
4:19 Donald Trump, by the way, has his own
4:21 version of the reasons for the record
4:22 market drop. The president addressed the
4:25 Americans themselves, saying you can
4:27 only blame yourselves. And judging by
4:29 the context, this is a hint at the
4:30 results of the Congressional elections.
4:33 You voted for the Democrats, now look at
4:35 the stock quotes and weep at your choice
4:38 Meanwhile, at the White House, a
4:40 Venezuelan national was detained, as Fox
4:43 Secret Service agents were interested in
4:45 the behavior of a man who was sitting in
4:49 When they approached, he said he hears
4:51 voices ordering him to kill Trump.
4:55 They found a rifle, two pistols, and
4:56 ammunition in his possession. Yes, funny
5:00 I wonder what he was thinking? That
5:01 Trump would come out for a walk on the
5:03 White House lawn? In general, I think if
5:04 he turns out to have a permit for all
5:06 this gear, they'll just let him go. At
5:08 worst, they'll send him to a mental
5:10 hospital for a little while and
5:13 By the way, the results of the American
5:15 elections were also watched in Kyiv.
5:17 Immediately after transgender people and
5:20 homosexuals won the midterm elections in
5:22 the US, Zelensky stopped fearing Grandpa
5:25 Trump and, feeling the support of his
5:27 fellow believers, began to clamor.
5:30 US Democrats are on Ukraine's side. They
5:33 are not afraid to call Russia an
5:35 aggressor, they are not trying to
5:37 maintain a balance, Zelensky said.
5:41 Let me remind you, so you understand
5:42 what is being discussed, this is the
5:43 most homosexual Congress, as Americans
5:45 themselves have admitted.
5:48 And eight women were also elected to
5:51 Congress, of whom eight are biological
5:55 Two have had surgery to remove the
5:57 excess, but six still have a member
5:58 dangling between their legs.
6:00 I remind you that LGBT is banned in
6:03 Russia. So Zelensky feels the support of
6:05 his brothers. Now about Russian vessels
6:08 . A convoy is heading north through the
6:10 Danish Great Belt Strait.
6:12 Passing under the bridge are the
6:14 Steregushchiy-class corvette Stoikiy,
6:16 the tanker Yelnja, and two merchant
6:18 ships, Askalon and Anastasia.
6:21 The Financial Times reports on how the
6:23 routes for Russian metal exports are
6:26 Pig iron from the Urals is being shipped
6:27 to the Mediterranean Sea via the Arctic
6:30 If you look at the route of
6:32 transportation, a question immediately
6:33 arises. Why ship metal north first, if
6:36 the buyer is in the south? The
6:38 explanation provided by the publication
6:40 is the risk of Ukrainian attacks in the
6:41 Black Sea. A longer and more expensive
6:44 route allows avoiding the dangerous area
6:45 . For Murmansk, this is the first pig
6:48 iron transshipment since 1996. The port
6:51 released a video of the loading and
6:53 reported that work is in full swing at
6:54 the Murmansk port. Changes in logistics
6:57 in southern Russia have led to a sharp
6:59 increase in freight volumes. To assemble
7:01 the trial batch of 65,000 tons, more
7:03 than 180 railcars of metal were brought
7:07 Now the cargo faces a sea crossing that
7:09 is about 10 days longer than shipping
7:13 Hence the extra costs. Most likely, the
7:16 probable destination will turn out to be
7:18 Turkey. Since January 1 of this year,
7:19 importing Russian pig iron into the
7:21 European Union has been prohibited.
7:25 Let’s shift from maritime logistics to
7:29 Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has
7:30 cast doubt on the results of the 2003
7:32 referendum, which decided the question
7:34 of the country's accession to the EU.
7:37 Pay attention to what exactly he
7:39 questioned. Fico acknowledges there was
7:41 great enthusiasm in the country, but
7:43 believes the figures were adjusted when
7:44 tallying the results. Here are his words
7:46 . When Slovakia joined the EU in 2004,
7:49 there was enormous enthusiasm here. We
7:52 held a referendum which, had it not been
7:54 rigged, would not have been successful.
7:59 On one hand, there was huge enthusiasm,
8:01 but at the same time, the gap in the
8:03 vote tally during this referendum on
8:05 joining the European Union, dear friends
8:08 , was such that, in my opinion, some
8:10 corrections were made so they would be
8:12 what they needed to be for Slovakia’s
8:14 accession to this organization to be
8:17 approved, Fico stated.
8:19 In France, 70,000 police officers and
8:21 gendarmes are being deployed again today
8:25 Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez says the
8:27 scheme is the same: checks on roads, at
8:29 train stations, and on approaches to
8:31 gathering points. This time, fewer
8:33 official notifications were received
8:34 from trade unions. However, fewer
8:36 applications does not mean less work for
8:38 the police. People are increasingly
8:40 being called to rallies that have no
8:42 clear organizer. The minister sees this
8:44 as an additional risk. Various protests
8:47 are planned in Paris itself.
8:49 Trade unions and students are gathering
8:51 for an authorized march against the high
8:53 cost of living in the city center.
8:55 The Yellow Vests did not join it. They
8:58 are calling their supporters separately
9:00 to the Place de la Concorde, even though
9:02 authorities have banned this rally.
9:04 Hence the calls for mass disobedience.
9:08 Returning to Slovakia, where the
9:10 government has a dispute with Brussels
9:11 over a current issue—migration quotas.
9:14 Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok
9:16 stated that the country does not intend
9:18 to pay for refusing to accept illegal
9:22 Bratislava also wants to decide for
9:24 itself who will be granted permission to
9:28 At the same time, Slovak authorities are
9:30 willing to help other European countries
9:32 , offering to send personnel, equipment
9:35 They expect help from the EU in securing
9:39 Bratislava had actually counted on an
9:40 exemption from the migration pact,
9:42 citing the number of Ukrainian refugees
9:46 According to Slovak media reports, the
9:47 European Commission is not taking this
9:51 That is where the dispute lies.
9:53 The government proposes counting
9:55 practical aid and existing commitments
9:57 toward Ukrainian migrants—or rather,
9:59 refugees—but refuses to pay under the
10:02 In Germany, the scale of the strikes is
10:04 immediately evident from two figures
10:06 provided by IG Metall. About 400,000
10:08 workers from the metallurgical industry
10:10 are participating in them today. The
10:12 protests have spanned nearly 4,000
10:14 enterprises across the country. Next on
10:16 our schedule is Latvia.
10:19 Ukrainian media report on the
10:20 participation of Azov fighters. You
10:22 remember, it is recognized as a
10:24 terrorist organization and banned in
10:26 Russia, in the Namejs 2026 exercises.
10:28 According to the channel, for three days
10:30 , they and the Latvian National Guard
10:32 practiced repelling a simulated assault
10:36 Positions for FPV strike drone teams and
10:38 bomber drone operators were deployed at
10:40 the training ground. The scenario also
10:43 made room for ground robots.
10:44 In addition to the Latvian military,
10:46 units from Lithuania, Sweden, and
10:48 Denmark participated in the maneuvers.
10:50 It is funny, in the Baltics, whenever
10:52 there are maneuvers, someone always ends
10:53 up dying. Recall how American soldiers
10:55 drowned in a swamp, someone else died,
10:56 and someone else blew themselves up with
10:59 I am sure there will be a couple of "
11:00 cargo 200s" for certain.
11:02 We will just find out a little later.
11:07 According to its Foreign Minister,
11:09 Sikorski—the very man Musk called a
11:11 drooling imbecile—is ready to restore
11:13 relations with Russia after the war in
11:17 Radosław Sikorski formulated the
11:18 conditions as follows: when the Russians
11:20 end the war, we will restore relations.
11:23 When the other side changes its policy,
11:25 we will change ours too.
11:28 Fine, we have heard Warsaw's position.
11:30 But I wonder, why the hell would the
11:32 Russian Federation need to restore
11:34 relations on these proposed terms? Why
11:36 would that be necessary? You guys should
11:40 We shouldn't restore relations with
11:42 Poland for anything in the world.
11:44 Especially, well, how can I put this
11:46 delicately? Sikorski is, as President
11:49 Putin says, a woman of low social
11:52 responsibility. Yes.
11:55 Who worked at a train station for many
11:56 years. The Polish Foreign Minister links
11:58 the causes of the war to Russian history
12:01 and political culture.
12:03 Strictly speaking, this is how his own
12:04 vision of what will remain of past
12:08 Nothing will ever be the same as it was
12:10 before the war. It is civilizational in
12:13 nature, a problem of the country's
12:17 One can trace Mongol-Tsarist tendencies
12:19 here, followed by Bolshevik ones.
12:22 There were attempts to start something
12:24 new, but they were unsuccessful, said
12:29 In other words, nothing will ever be the
12:30 same again. No relations at all. The
12:32 whole problem is not with the Mongols,
12:34 but that the Russian Federation was
12:35 previously an empire, and before that,
12:37 it was the Soviet Union. In general,
12:39 Sikorski essentially summed it up by
12:40 saying it was not meant to be. The whole
12:42 problem, you see, is civilization.
12:44 Russians, it seems, are not civilized.
12:46 Yes. It’s all a Mongol legacy. I think
12:48 there shouldn't be any relations with
12:51 Poland. Let them live over there.
12:53 This eggplant-colored wave from France
12:55 and Great Britain will reach them in
12:58 about five years, and they will come out
13:02 We’ll see how it ends.
13:05 Meanwhile, Finland is studying specific
13:07 military experience.
13:09 Bloomberg, citing the commander of the
13:11 Finnish Ground Forces, reports that the
13:13 country is considering the possibility
13:15 of installing anti-tank barriers near
13:17 the border with Russia.
13:19 They arrived at this idea by studying
13:20 the course of hostilities in Ukraine.
13:22 Admittedly, it is currently only a
13:24 discussion of such an option; the
13:25 commander hasn't announced any start of
13:27 construction, but it's a good idea.
13:30 Any anti-tank ditch will surely stop
13:33 thousands and thousands of swarm drones
13:35 , which are currently the main strike
13:38 force on the front.
13:40 And tanks, which are often afraid to
13:42 come out, yes, them, of course, yes.
13:45 A ditch will definitely help against
13:48 They are drawing their own conclusions,
13:50 the Finns. Germany has defined the limit
13:52 for further Patriot deliveries from its
13:54 own stocks. Defense Minister Boris
13:56 Pistorius explained to the Funke media
13:58 group that one more transfer would leave
14:01 a hole in German air defense.
14:04 Honestly, we are waiting for this, for
14:06 the Germans to give away all their
14:07 Patriots, all their missile defense
14:09 systems, and be left absolutely empty.
14:13 Once Ukraine fires off its next
14:14 stockpile, one could confidently head
14:18 And as for this hole, he says that
14:19 Berlin simply has nothing to fill it
14:21 with quickly. Germany has already
14:23 supplied several systems and a multitude
14:25 of guided missiles for them. We cannot
14:27 do more right now. Everything we
14:29 transfer now, we currently cannot
14:31 replenish. "This would create gaps that
14:33 we cannot allow," the minister said.
14:35 Give it all away. You are Germans, after
14:38 all; you are such a mighty country that
14:39 you will manage even without air defense
14:41 . Everything, everything to Ukraine. Yes
14:43 , at least that’s what your chancellor
14:45 thinks. Now, as Pistorius believes, more
14:47 should be done by partners who have so
14:49 far transferred less to Ukraine than
14:51 Germany. They are like, eh, losers who
14:53 didn't transfer enough.
14:54 They intend to discuss the distribution
14:56 of aid in mid-November at the next
14:57 meeting of the contact group. But it is
14:59 important to understand two things here
15:02 Berlin is refusing to give additional
15:04 systems from what it has, while
15:06 previously agreed-upon deliveries remain
15:09 For instance, on November 4th, Zelensky
15:12 reported a contract for the purchase of
15:14 German PAC-2 missiles, those outdated
15:16 ones for the Patriot, for the next 2
15:18 years. His demand to Germany also
15:20 concerns the timelines. Kyiv is
15:22 demanding that missiles be delivered
15:24 faster, no matter what.
15:28 According to Trump, negotiations to end
15:30 the war are taking place literally day
15:33 The US President told reporters in
15:35 Florida that he had already held phone
15:37 conversations and intends to continue
15:39 them today, November 7, with both Moscow
15:41 and Kyiv. He sees a desire to negotiate
15:43 for the first time. I had phone calls
15:46 today, and more are planned for tomorrow
15:48 . He also said this yesterday. There
15:49 will be meetings on Monday and Tuesday.
15:52 It seems to me that Russia and Ukraine
15:53 are, for the first time, striving to
15:55 reach an agreement. I think they want to
15:57 make a deal, said the American president
15:59 . Nothing has changed since yesterday.
16:01 Trump naturally did not disclose the
16:02 names of those he called or whom he
16:04 intends to speak with next. But he did
16:06 describe the scale of the future
16:07 agreements quite willingly.
16:09 I think it will be a very big agreement
16:10 . I believe it will affect all of Europe
16:13 , said Trump. It was those last words
16:15 that were heard especially clearly in
16:16 Europe. The Financial Times and Politico
16:19 report that these statements about a
16:21 grand deal were met with skepticism
16:24 European parties supposedly support
16:26 negotiations to end the war, but it is
16:28 one thing to agree on ending hostilities
16:30 in Ukraine, and quite another to
16:31 simultaneously overhaul the entire
16:33 continent's security system.
16:35 Judging by the reaction of those
16:37 involved, no one intends to give
16:38 Washington such a mandate. According to
16:40 the Financial Times, both Trump's
16:42 statements and the words of his
16:43 son-in-law Jared Kushner have caused
16:46 Europeans fear an agreement that would
16:48 weaken NATO, allow Moscow to restore its
16:51 sphere of influence, and limit the
16:52 decision-making freedom of neighboring
16:57 One official told the newspaper: There
16:59 will be no parallel negotiations on
17:01 European security before the war ends.
17:04 Furthermore, we know what the Russians
17:06 mean, and that will not happen either.
17:08 According to him, European countries
17:10 have not discussed, and unanimously
17:12 reject, any reduction of the NATO
17:13 presence or change to the alliance's
17:17 Therefore, Kushner's remarks about
17:18 working on a new security system came as
17:20 a complete surprise to them.
17:22 Another problem. It is difficult for
17:25 Europeans to respond to specific
17:26 proposals when, as it turns out, there
17:28 isn't even a draft.
17:30 All these negotiations are very
17:32 unstructured, jerky, and chaotic.
17:35 There isn't even a document or a draft
17:37 agreement being discussed, described the
17:38 Financial Times source.
17:42 But as for who should speak on behalf of
17:44 Europe itself and how it should
17:45 participate in the negotiations,
17:47 European capitals still cannot agree
17:51 Politico, citing NATO diplomats, adds
17:55 Allies were not warned in advance about
17:57 Washington's plans.
17:59 In December, the US intends to review
18:01 the size of its contingent in Europe,
18:03 and Europeans fear this issue may be
18:05 linked to the talks between Moscow and
18:08 It is not entirely clear what Kushner
18:11 The general consensus in Europe is that
18:13 any negotiations with Russia regarding
18:15 future security architecture would
18:17 currently be used by Moscow to
18:18 legitimize its demands.
18:21 European allies will not go for this, a
18:23 NATO diplomat told the publication. In
18:25 the European Union, they acknowledge
18:26 that negotiations are gaining momentum.
18:28 They are willing to discuss peace in
18:30 Ukraine but consider it premature to
18:32 talk about new security rules for all of
18:35 And the main grievance against the
18:37 American side is formulated roughly as
18:40 Trump's entourage has underestimated how
18:42 important this conflict is for Europe
18:44 and how dangerous an unfavorable outcome
18:46 of the war would be for Ukraine.
18:48 Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni
18:50 decided to start with a question that
18:53 Brussels could answer even without the
18:55 Americans. And who, who will sit at the
18:57 negotiating table on behalf of the EU?
18:59 According to Ager, Meloni sent a letter
19:01 to European Council President António
19:03 Costa demanding that this be discussed
19:06 As long as capitals act each for
19:08 themselves, she believes, Brussels loses
19:10 the ability to influence the outcome in
19:12 any way. Meloni's concerns are quite
19:16 If the conditions concerning Europe are
19:18 determined by others, Europe itself
19:20 faces total political oblivion.
19:23 From diplomatic capitals, we smoothly
19:26 move to Kyiv. Russia is trying to force
19:28 Kyiv into a large-scale power outage.
19:32 Partners must not leave us alone,
19:35 The guy is scared. He is counting on
19:37 increased aid, primarily from the United
19:41 According to him, 36 ballistic missiles
19:43 were launched at Kyiv and its region
19:45 overnight. He named energy
19:46 infrastructure as the main target of the
19:48 strike. In the Kyiv region, substations
19:49 were attacked, through which electricity
19:51 from the Rivne and Khmelnytskyi nuclear
19:53 power plants is supplied to the capital
19:55 and central regions.
19:56 We are talking about energy transmission
19:58 hubs. Even if the plants generate
20:00 electricity, it still needs to be
20:02 delivered to the consumer.
20:04 When there is no substation, you won't
20:06 get a damn thing. Zelensky also reported
20:08 damaged substations in the Vinnytsia,
20:10 Zhytomyr, Rivne, Kharkiv, and
20:12 Dnipropetrovsk regions.
20:14 In total, according to his data, the
20:16 strikes affected the capital and 12
20:17 other regions of Ukraine.
20:19 The Chernihiv City Council reported that
20:21 after the night strikes, the city was
20:23 left completely without electricity.
20:25 Roughly the same crap is happening in
20:27 Slavutych; there is also a total
20:28 blackout there. It’s funny, it snowed in
20:30 Kyiv yesterday. It turns out that it
20:32 also snowed in the Dnipropetrovsk and
20:35 The cold weather is arriving just as
20:37 cities are facing interruptions not only
20:39 in light but also in heat due to damage
20:40 to the power grid. In general, it's
20:42 going to be fun. Vitali Klitschko kindly
20:44 showed the damage to the North Bridge in
20:48 If you pay attention to this video, just
20:49 3-4 meters to the side, a little to the
20:51 right, well, at least from the angle he
20:53 was showing, and the missiles would have
20:54 hit exactly the cable stays, yes, and
20:56 perhaps the bridge would have collapsed
20:58 ; they missed just a little.
21:00 According to the mayor, several missiles
21:02 hit it. Not the mayor, I mean. If a few
21:04 missiles hit the mayor, with his
21:05 nine-centimeter-thick frontal bone,
21:07 nothing would happen to him at all. I am
21:08 talking about the bridge right now. The
21:09 road surface itself is damaged, and the
21:12 trolleybus and power lines were hit.
21:15 Five trucks were hit in a parking lot
21:17 next to the bridge. He just doesn't know
21:19 how to count higher than five. Just
21:21 Klitschko reported an extremely
21:23 difficult situation with the capital's
21:25 power supply. Following attacks on
21:27 facilities in the Kyiv and Zhytomyr
21:28 regions, there are interruptions in the
21:30 capital with water, heat, and, naturally
21:32 , electricity. Kyivvodokanal issued a
21:35 separate warning about possible problems
21:37 with the water supply.
21:39 Debris hit a residential building in
21:41 Solomyanka. According to the mayor, five
21:43 people were injured. The Russian Defense
21:45 Ministry confirmed the strike on the
21:48 Among other targets in Kyiv, the agency
21:50 named the Meridian company facility,
21:52 which, according to their data, produces
21:55 In the Kyiv region, as the ministry
21:57 reports, the Trypillia TPP, the Kyiv
22:00 substation, and an enterprise producing
22:02 rocket fuel components were hit. In the
22:04 Zhytomyr region, the agency reported a
22:06 strike on another substation. Naftogaz
22:09 company spoke separately about the
22:10 consequences of the night attacks.
22:12 According to its data, one oil and gas
22:14 facility in central Ukraine was attacked
22:16 three times overnight. Equipment was
22:18 damaged. An explosion occurred at the
22:20 facility and a major fire broke out.
22:22 The location and name of the enterprise
22:25 are not specified in the reports. Well,
22:27 we can guess. Now about what happened
22:29 overnight in Russian cities. In Belgorod
22:31 , a drone hit a residential building.
22:34 Fire engulfed several balconies, and
22:35 there are casualties.
22:37 Local social media groups write that an
22:39 infrastructure object could have been
22:40 the target of the raid. This is a
22:42 version of the alleged target. The known
22:44 consequences are that they hit a house
22:46 where people were staying. That is the
22:47 difference between Ukrainian and Russian
22:50 strikes. Reports of attacks also came
22:52 from Orel and Saratov. They mention
22:54 areas near an oil refinery and an
22:59 Orel Region Governor Andrey Klychkov
23:01 stated that, as a result of repelling a
23:03 massive missile attack, production
23:05 premises in the Sovetsky district of
23:06 Orel were partially damaged.
23:09 The head of the region did not say which
23:11 specific enterprise it was.
23:12 The name of the Proton-Electrotex plant
23:14 appeared in both Russian and Ukrainian
23:16 social media groups writing about the
23:17 missile strike. One must understand that
23:19 this is nothing more than an assumption
23:21 , officially confirmed by no one.
23:23 Saratov Region Governor Roman Busargin,
23:26 in turn, reported damage to civilian
23:31 A short message came from the front line
23:34 from DeepState. Russian troops have
23:36 advanced in the area of Svitloye and
23:38 Vasylivka in the Dobropolye direction.
23:40 Not a word about the scale of the
23:42 advance or the transfer of the
23:43 settlements themselves to the control of
23:45 the Russian army. They just advanced and
23:47 that's it. You remember, DeepState is
23:50 always a week or two late. In Ukrainian
23:52 politics, the dispute over who will go
23:54 to the negotiations has intertwined with
23:57 David Arakhamia, head of the Servant of
23:59 the People faction, claims that an
24:00 information campaign was launched
24:02 against him to remove him from the
24:05 He denies any involvement in corrupt
24:07 schemes and says he is not a defendant
24:11 He says he learned of the accusations
24:12 against him while in Oslo, where he was
24:14 meeting with the President of Finland,
24:16 the Prime Minister of Norway, and
24:17 members of the negotiation group.
24:20 Arakhamia links the start of this
24:21 campaign to anti-corruption activists
24:23 Daria Kaleniuk and Vitaliy Shabunin.
24:26 "I believe this was done specifically to
24:28 make me step away from the negotiations
24:30 ," he declared. He claims that he
24:32 previously had personal and productive
24:34 relations with Kaleniuk. Following a
24:37 statement by Kaleniuk and Shabunin’s
24:38 Anti-Corruption Action Centre, a
24:40 criminal proceeding was opened against
24:43 The timing coincidentally aligned with a
24:45 new stage in the NABU investigation into
24:47 the Carthage case. Arakhamia himself
24:49 offers his own version of why all of
24:51 this was necessary right now. The head
24:53 of the Servant of the People faction was
24:55 also asked about Ukraine's participation
24:57 in the G20. In Arakhamia’s view, Kyiv
24:59 has no interest in attending a meeting
25:01 where there will be no Russian
25:04 "We don't agree, because just sitting at
25:06 a G20 meeting without Russians—what
25:08 would the point even be?"
25:10 "I think it is important that Russia be
25:11 present," he explained.
25:14 On humanitarian issues, if Arakhamia is
25:15 to be believed, there has been some
25:18 The Russian side has verbally agreed to
25:20 an operation modeled after the mission
25:23 But you understand, between a verbal
25:25 agreement in principle and the next such
25:27 mission, a hell of a lot of time can
25:29 There is a great, great deal that still
25:31 needs to be done. And in general, these
25:33 upcoming negotiations—do you know what
25:35 they made me think about? I was watching
25:37 Arakhamia and Kirill Dmitriev sitting at
25:40 a reception for Trump's wife, and I
25:43 thought about how curiously life and
25:45 fate are intertwined, and that we are
25:48 all children of one big country. Look,
25:51 Arakhamia is fighting, well, relatively
25:53 speaking, for Ukraine.
25:55 He is a Russian citizen himself, born in
25:57 the city of Sochi in the not-so-distant
25:59 Kirill Dmitriev, who represents the
26:01 Russian Federation, is a native of Kyiv
26:04 . That is how interestingly the deck of
26:06 this life has been shuffled. Yes.
26:09 In the Carthage case, the court has
26:11 already determined a pre-trial
26:12 restriction for SBU General Serhiy Duka
26:14 , the one who, remember, smashed a hard
26:15 drive and two phones with a hammer and
26:18 As reported by Radio Svoboda, the High
26:21 Anti-Corruption Court remanded him into
26:23 custody for 60 days and set a bail of 65
26:28 A prosecutor from the Specialized
26:29 Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office
26:30 demanded 100 million; Duka himself said
26:32 he is ready to cooperate with the
26:34 investigation and does not intend to
26:35 leave the country, but that he doesn't
26:37 have that kind of cash.
26:39 And here is the funniest part. As they
26:40 were driving him away, a journalist
26:42 shouted a question asking if he had
26:44 anything to say in closing, and from
26:46 inside the car—or rather, the police van
26:48 —he shouted back, "I'm not planning on
26:52 You must admit, that’s a rather alarming
26:54 remark for a man who was just asked if
26:56 he had any final words for the press.
26:59 We don't know exactly what Durov is
27:00 afraid of, but the guy—I mean, the guy,
27:02 he's a grown man—is scared they might
27:06 If the Americans managed to hang Epstein
27:08 unnoticed in less than a minute, they
27:10 could probably finish off Durov
27:11 forty-eight times over.
27:14 Now, a little bit about money.
27:17 On November 17, it was reported that the
27:19 Bank of Russia is allowing exchanges to
27:21 trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT. For
27:23 an unqualified investor, the limit is
27:25 300,000 rubles. per year. For 300,000
27:28 rubles. per year, you can buy, let's say
27:31 , USDT. But take note, that's per year,
27:34 that's almost 4,000 dollars—that is just
27:37 crazy, insane money. 300,000 rubles. ,
27:39 4,000 dollars and a bit, right? Or even
27:42 less than 3,000. It's less than 4,000
27:44 dollars. Tough luck. Well, at least,
27:46 despite the comical amount, I will now
27:48 understand for myself who these "
27:50 investors" are. Because you constantly
27:52 hear in the news: investors, investors,
27:54 investors. An investor is someone who
27:56 has up to 300,000 rubles. per year.
27:59 Potentially, a lot of people are
28:02 For Russians living abroad, the
28:04 cryptocurrency situation looks even
28:08 If a person living abroad receives money
28:11 on a ruble card from a Russian bank and
28:14 wants to exchange Russian rubles for
28:17 cryptocurrency via a P2P platform, then
28:20 from July 1, 2027, such a cryptocurrency
28:24 exchange in Russia will be considered
28:29 Each such operation could result in a
28:31 fine of up to 40%of the amount.
28:34 In other words, you cannot exchange the
28:36 money you have on your ruble card for
28:39 crypto while abroad. Another option is
28:41 that they will just block your card
28:43 entirely. Well, you're abroad, it only
28:45 takes two seconds to restore it with one
28:46 phone call, they'll just send you a new
28:47 one. Actually, I think this is the right
28:49 decision. Citizens need to be trained in
28:51 patriotism, you understand? You live
28:53 abroad, you get some salary in rubles.
28:56 And you have to train them somehow—I
28:58 mean, the people abroad—to not care that
29:00 foreign places don't accept Russian
29:02 cards. Forget about them, be patriotic.
29:04 Or order yourself some food, so you
29:06 don't starve, through delivery—a
29:08 non-existent delivery service. Well,
29:10 basically, just keep your money on the
29:11 card in Russian rubles, and when you
29:13 come back, you'll figure out what to do
29:15 with it. Yes, just like that. Pretty
29:16 cool idea, they really cared about the
29:19 This will be called "savings," which
29:21 will then be forcibly transferred
29:25 By the way, on the topic of "forcibly."
29:27 The government has submitted a bill to
29:29 the State Duma on the mandatory transfer
29:31 of pension savings into a long-term
29:33 savings program. This transfer is
29:35 scheduled to begin on April 1, 2027.
29:38 Remember, April 1st is April Fools 'Day
29:39 . What exactly are they planning to
29:41 transfer? Only the funds that make up
29:43 the funded pension. The bill does not
29:46 affect the insurance pension. Everything
29:48 is honest, no tricks involved. How did
29:50 that MMM commercial go?
29:51 The Ministry of Finance lists future
29:53 options to choose the term and method of
29:55 receiving money, using savings for
29:56 expensive medical treatment if needed,
29:58 or passing them on as an inheritance in
30:00 case of the breadwinner's death.
30:02 It's a curious combination, nonetheless
30:05 They offer people a choice in how to
30:07 manage their money, but they want to
30:08 make the transition to the program
30:11 In short, everything for the people,
30:13 everything for the pensioners. Yes.
30:16 These are people, you understand, well,
30:18 I mean, the officials, they work day and
30:21 night, sacrificing their health to care
30:23 for the people. Here is a vivid example
30:27 The Prosecutor General's Office has
30:29 demanded the state seizure of 52 real
30:30 estate properties registered to
30:31 Alexander Lukanin and his family members
30:34 Lukanin headed the Sverdlovsk branch of
30:36 the Interior Ministry's passport and
30:40 According to the supervisory authority,
30:42 he organized a business for processing
30:44 documents for migrants, and companies
30:46 linked to him received over 1.2 billion
30:49 That refers to the company's income; the
30:51 actual value of the real estate, by the
30:52 way, is not specified in the reports.
30:54 Lukanin previously advocated for the
30:56 rights of migrants.
30:57 He took charge of the PVS Interior
30:59 Ministry branch in 2011, and in 2024 he
31:01 was arrested on charges of abuse of
31:05 Lukanin denies guilt and insists he
31:07 acquired the assets before entering
31:08 public service. That's how it is. Can
31:11 you imagine how funny that is?
31:13 Well, besides that, let's not even talk
31:15 about him, so we aren't accused of not
31:16 waiting for the court's verdict. Beyond
31:18 that, such people drag migrants here by
31:20 the ears, absolutely everyone, by bus,
31:23 train, plane, even on donkeys across the
31:25 border, just to make some cash. They
31:27 don't give a damn what happens to their
31:28 country when migrants outnumber the
31:30 local population. The uneducated are
31:32 coming. The main thing is to have the
31:33 money, you understand? In some countries
31:35 , they try to ensure that the "brains"
31:37 come, while in others, they try to
31:39 ensure that all sorts of rapists and
31:41 scumbags come. Well, that's one point.
31:43 And secondly, can you imagine, if in
31:46 this, I wouldn't say small, but not very
31:49 big Russian city of Sverdlovsk, 1.2
31:51 billion was officially put through the
31:54 books, you understand? How much went off
31:56 the books? Imagine what could be
31:58 happening in the big cities with
31:59 millions of people. Wow, really.
32:02 And then we wonder why there are so many
32:06 You know, I was at a traffic police
32:08 branch not too long ago.
32:11 Well, about 85 percent of the people
32:13 there were migrants. I mean, sitting
32:15 there waiting in line, some were
32:16 re-registering cars, doing something
32:17 shady. Yes, the white population is
32:21 Soon it might not exist at all. Anyway,
32:24 let's talk about something else. About
32:25 health. We should care about people,
32:27 after all. According to Vyacheslav
32:28 Volodin, the sale of vapes and e-liquids
32:30 has already been banned in seventeen
32:32 Russian regions, including Yakutia,
32:33 Transbaikalia, the Altai Republic, and
32:35 the Ryazan and Saratov regions. Another
32:37 39 regions are preparing a similar
32:39 decision. So, it's too early to say the
32:40 ban is already in effect in all those
32:42 regions. It was introduced in 17, while
32:44 the others are still preparing. I fully
32:46 support it. There’s no need to suck on
32:47 that crap. Well, you’ll be healthier for
32:50 it. Nobody is going to die from lacking
32:51 it, that’s for sure.
32:53 Now, here is a ranking that everyone is
32:55 free to dispute without any commission
32:57 meeting. A publication named Russian
33:00 women the most beautiful in the world.
33:02 Second place went to Venezuela, third to
33:04 India. Ukraine, Ukraine was placed in
33:07 twentieth position. And right there,
33:09 it’s clear that this isn't a ranking,
33:10 but total garbage. Russian, Ukrainian,
33:12 and Belarusian women—they should be in
33:14 first place, all together in one line.
33:16 They are the most beautiful women in the
33:18 world. And there are also Serbian women
33:20 Serbian women, yes, from Serbia, are in
33:25 ...in fifth place. I would have moved
33:27 them up higher. And perhaps, when I
33:29 speak of Russian women, of Russian girls
33:31 , I might be slightly mistaken, because
33:33 it would probably be more correct to say
33:35 "Russian nationals," as Russian women
33:37 are truly very beautiful, insanely
33:41 Well, just like Ukrainian and Belarusian
33:42 girls. And, honestly, I am sometimes
33:45 simply delighted by the gene pool
33:47 present in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus
33:50 . It is still, thank God, not diluted by
33:53 immigrant blood. That is the worst thing
33:55 that could happen to these three
33:57 countries. When they turn into England,
34:00 France, and all that incomprehensible
