Ukraine 'on life support': who will switch off the machine? NABU, Zelensky and the backstage of peace talks
УКРАИНА НА ИВЛ! Кто отключит аппарат? НАБУ, Зеленский и закулисье мирных переговоров
What the site found
Pushes the agenda · agenda: US-Russia talks decide Ukraine's fate
Belief the Pravda network pushes: Russia and the United States should negotiate Ukraine's future without Europe, while Ukraine and the West block peace and threaten Russia.
Muraev says Ukraine is not a sovereign actor, that Zelensky is a thieving coward who has surrendered sovereignty, and that only Russia and the US can 'restore order' in Ukraine through a peace deal, including by removing NABU and SAPO as 'foreign agents'.
The video says · at 14:52 · quote checked against the transcript
“But only Russia and the States can solve this by reaching an agreement.”
But only Russia and the States can solve this by reaching an agreement.
The video presents Ukraine's fate, including its anti-corruption bodies, as something only Russia and the US should settle. It backs this with distorted or unsupported claims: that Putin guaranteed Zelensky's safety, that Zelensky is a 'charlatan' tied to Babi Yar, and that Ukrainian activists are a 'Soros-backed lot' of foreign agents. This matches the Pravda line on Ukraine's illegitimacy and a Russia–US deal. Muraev is also a Ukrainian critic voicing his own opinions, so the fact-checker should weigh that before naming him.

0:00 Alexander Yagovdik.
0:01 Yevgeny Vladimirovich, in recent years,
0:04 have you found an answer for yourself as
0:06 to why the masses didn't hear your
0:08 warnings after you presented the
0:09 country's formula on a major platform?
0:13 >> Look, it was an ordinary platform.
0:18 I don't even remember where it was. We
0:20 rented a standard studio and filmed that
0:23 project there. We filmed it for two days
0:25 .
0:26 One day in Russian, one day in Ukrainian
0:29 , specifically so Western Ukraine would
0:31 hear it.
0:33 And we broadcast it on the Nash TV
0:35 channel and on my YouTube channel.
0:41 Yes, about 4 million people watched it
0:43 on my YouTube channel, and some watched
0:46 it on the Nash YouTube channel live, but
0:48 evidently, not enough people believed
0:50 what I was saying.
0:56 Once again, look, when people ask who is
0:58 to blame or who is actually responsible
1:00 , we are all responsible for what
1:02 happened—through our actions, inaction,
1:05 and the adequacy or inadequacy of the
1:07 work done.
1:10 Maybe I just didn't have the guts.
1:14 It felt like I was living on screen,
1:16 trying to prove my position, trying to
1:19 explain, spending tons of time and a
1:21 huge amount of money, taking it from my
1:23 family and putting it into channels and
1:25 political activity.
1:31 It didn't work.
1:32 Perhaps we had to go through this path.
1:38 Well, it's hard to realize that we lost
1:40 so much just to understand something
1:42 absolutely obvious.
1:46 I mean, and even then, I can tell you,
1:48 this understanding hasn't fully arrived
1:50 yet.
1:51 Either people
1:55 are in a state of Stockholm syndrome.
2:01 You know, when victims of maniacs or
2:03 kidnappers fall in love with their
2:05 torturers and even defend them in court
2:07 later.
2:11 Well, sometimes I still see that
2:13 Zelenskyy has some level of support.
2:16 But friends, everyone understands that
2:18 he is a charlatan without
2:26 a home, roots, flag, or homeland, who
2:29 betrayed his grandfather's history and
2:31 family values, saying one thing and
2:34 doing another—a Jew burying Greek
2:36 Catholics on the Lavra grounds, who, as
2:39 part of the auxiliary police,
2:41 annihilated over 33,000 Jews just at
2:44 Babi Yar in Kyiv.
2:50 How, just how can all of this fit in
2:52 one's head?
2:54 I don't know.
2:56 And there are people who support him,
2:57 calling him their dear boy and saying
2:59 how hard he’s had it.
3:02 When they find out how much money he
3:04 stole on blood—not stealing from
3:06 construction contracts, not building
3:10 some peaceful infrastructure, but
3:12 stealing on missiles and body armor.
3:15 We heard all of that.
3:18 It’s all on tape, how Mindich forces
3:20 Umerov to buy these body armors. And
3:23 look now, Umerov is going to
3:25 negotiations. Why would Umerov go?
3:30 He made decent money on those body
3:31 armors with Zelenskyy and Mindich.
3:35 And look, if Zelenskyy doesn't agree
3:37 with this, then what is Umerov doing?
3:41 How can he even be sent to negotiations
3:43 ?
3:45 Well, it's just absurd. His whole family
3:48 lives in Miami—his brother, wife,
3:50 children.
3:52 Whose interests does he even represent?
3:55 And our people still haven't understood
3:57 anything.
3:58 What "Formula for the Country," how
4:00 could they have digested it? There was a
4:03 lot of dense material—an hour long.
4:05 An hour.
4:07 It was a heavy product, actually.
4:11 And I spoke at a fast pace to fit it
4:13 into an hour, right?
4:15 We had the former producer of the
4:17 channel sitting there saying, "Zhenya,
4:19 make it denser, denser, denser." I was
4:22 like a drum; I felt like a drum.
4:25 So, well, it was probably difficult to
4:27 perceive, but I didn't think the "
4:29 Formula for the Country" was the
4:31 starting point, right?
4:34 It was the end of 2021; I knew there was
4:36 still a year and a half until the
4:38 elections, and I intended to expand on
4:41 every point we just piled up in the "
4:43 Formula for the Country," in those four
4:45 blocks.
4:47 I planned to just expand on it later.
4:49 That is what I am trying to do now at
4:51 the forum, right?
4:53 Let's discuss the program and go over
4:55 every single point specifically. This is
4:57 important. It is important that everyone
4:59 understands.
5:00 I also understand that not everyone
5:04 wants to do this, but once again, I
5:09 Running into the same rake is our
5:11 national sport.
5:14 We didn't listen back then, we didn't
5:16 look into it, and we still don't. I am
5:18 also analyzing how people sign up and
5:20 how they register.
5:22 I realize that people don't understand
5:24 the importance of their participation in
5:26 their own future.
5:28 They think that, for some reason,
5:30 someone will eventually decide for them
5:32 and in their interests.
5:34 Everyone always decides in their own
5:36 interests.
5:38 Well, it's just that there are people,
5:40 again, who
5:44 act out of love and gratitude, and
5:46 others who do it for something material
5:48 , right? How do you know who is who?
5:50 How many times have we been deceived in
5:53 elections?
5:54 By profiteers, "strong economic managers
5:56 ," and everyone else under the sun.
5:59 Kuchma—well, it seemed like I didn't
6:01 understand for a long time what kind of
6:03 character he was. I actually made most
6:05 of my money back then, under Kuchma.
6:09 The national currency was more or less
6:12 stable, you could plan things,
6:13 everything was developing.
6:18 Everyone after the Soviet Union was
6:20 still not quite as bold, a bit cowardly
6:23 ; those who were pushier, more athletic
6:25 , with healthy ambitions, well, they had
6:27 a chance to earn—it was a good time,
6:30 because rebounding from the bottom when
6:32 a new system is forming is always good.
6:37 When the war ends in Ukraine, there will
6:40 also be a huge number of niches.
6:44 If we manage to attract money, attract
6:46 large industrial infrastructure projects
6:48 , and bring back citizens, it will be a
6:51 mecca.
6:54 Perhaps, if it isn’t a military
6:55 parliament, if there is no revanchism,
6:58 if the goal is different—to build
7:00 something great, to create a statehood
7:02 that is truly our own.
7:05 Then it will be cool, it will also be a
7:07 great time.
7:10 That’s why, friends, we need to get
7:12 involved.
7:16 I repeat, I am watching who is writing
7:19 what.
7:20 We are short on people. This is, among
7:22 other things, a personnel selection
7:24 process.
7:25 Many wrote to the 2027 team, yes,
7:28 leaving their contact details and
7:30 everything else. Friends, register, show
7:33 what you can do.
7:35 Brains, skills—all of this is important
7:38 . And how else are we supposed to
7:40 evaluate that?
7:41 We bring them out, we look, we talk, we
7:44 communicate afterwards, yes, we assign
7:47 tasks, we tell people what to refine,
7:49 expand, and so on.
7:51 And how else should we form a team? I
7:53 honestly don’t know; well, people were
7:55 one way yesterday, and now they are
7:57 completely different. And I don’t even
7:59 understand, are they sincere
8:03 in their heads, or are they just
8:05 surviving in this system?
8:08 But I don’t want to train them. And
8:09 honestly, I said it before, there are
8:11 many whose hands I won't be able to
8:13 shake.
8:15 Those who were there, well, they
8:17 completely destroyed themselves for me,
8:19 in my eyes at least.
8:21 They surely have their own truth.
8:24 They will tell me why they had to do it
8:26 , what they really thought, and what
8:28 they actually did.
8:31 Everyone makes a choice. Everyone makes
8:34 a choice.
8:36 I mean, I could have also gone out,
8:38 renounced everything I considered
8:40 important, and played along.
8:42 I had a bunch of offers like that.
8:45 I chose not to get caught, to get my
8:47 family out, and to stay true to myself
8:49 from abroad, losing everything I had.
8:52 I made my choice.
8:55 If I have arguments like, "Listen, I
8:57 just had to survive somehow."
8:59 I chose a different path. For me, that
9:01 won’t be an argument.
9:04 That’s why I am looking at the new
9:05 people right now, among others.
9:10 Therefore, I hope we gather real people
9:12 , teach them how to think, teach them
9:14 how to work and propose ideas, and we
9:16 will have a core that can build things
9:18 correctly.
9:21 And the formula, the formula is no
9:23 longer relevant. The world has changed
9:25 significantly.
9:28 I mean, if Ukraine back then could have
9:30 prevented all these changes or made them
9:32 without such losses.
9:36 I spoke about a Greater Europe and
9:38 Ukraine's place in it.
9:43 Now, as we witness the phased formation
9:45 of a Greater Europe or the Global North
9:48 , it will be even more painful to
9:50 realize that we lost so many people, so
9:52 many opportunities, and most importantly
9:55 —time.
10:00 5 years of war, I believe, is lost time
10:03 for millions of people.
10:06 Time that turned into a tragedy for many
10:10 A time that has forever changed the face
10:12 of both the country and the Ukrainians,
10:14 including their moral qualities.
10:18 War
10:21 is probably also a place for heroism,
10:24 yes, but it is usually fatal, yes,
10:27 excuse me, posthumous.
10:31 But it is definitely a testing ground
10:33 for meanness, betrayal, and cynicism of
10:36 the highest degree.
10:39 Therefore, war does not make people
10:41 better. It tempers them, yes.
10:44 It makes them more
10:52 But I don't think these are the best
10:54 qualities, actually.
10:56 Therefore, it is a tragedy in any case,
10:58 and it would have been better without it
11:00 , of course, it would have been better
11:02 according to the formula, but history
11:04 has no subjunctive mood.
11:08 My friends, two hours and 12 minutes, 15
11:11 already.
11:12 I see. Let's take three more questions
11:15 and wrap it up.
11:17 Misha from Seven Gan. Evgeny
11:19 Vladimirovich, what will happen to NABU
11:21 after the war?
11:23 My friends, we are not sovereign actors
11:27 Not me, not you, not Zelensky.
11:30 Zelensky tried to get rid of NABU.
11:34 He was quickly explained, through
11:36 internal, well, formed mechanisms, who
11:39 he is, who Yermak is, who
11:43 his entire entourage is, yes.
11:46 He betrayed everyone because he was in
11:48 danger.
11:51 And he chose his own well-being,
11:53 disregarding the interests of the entire
11:55 rest of the top team.
11:58 He got scared. He is really, I have said
12:01 many times that he is a coward. And in
12:03 this context, the words about the
12:05 Taliban took on completely different
12:07 colors.
12:09 That is, the former Prime Minister of
12:12 Israel said that Zelensky came out of
12:14 the bunker after Putin guaranteed the
12:16 safety of Zelensky's life to the Prime
12:18 Minister of Israel.
12:22 And Naftali Bennett called Zelensky, and
12:24 after that, he came out and said, "I'm
12:26 satisfied here, Yermak is here, someone
12:28 else is here," and they were all there
12:31 because nothing threatened them.
12:36 In the same way, they are explaining to
12:38 him now what will happen to him, so he
12:40 is surrendering both the sovereignty and
12:42 his own team and his loved ones just so
12:44 they don't touch him.
12:50 Therefore, the fate and future of NABU
12:52 can only be decided by the high
12:54 contracting parties of the peace treaty
12:58 I do not believe in the future
13:04 in a future security architecture if
13:06 Ukraine is deprived of its sovereignty.
13:09 Well, can you imagine between, uh,
13:12 imagine the CIS countries,
13:17 CIS countries, Europe, and here, yes, a
13:19 hotbed of tension, which is controlled
13:22 from somewhere in a third place, from
13:24 across the ocean.
13:27 Everything is boiling under the lid
13:29 there, it has five neighboring countries
13:31 or seven—
13:36 seven.
13:37 And
13:39 it can splash out like boiling water,
13:41 yes, onto all its neighbors. Well, well
13:44 , it cannot be like that. That is, order
13:46 needs to be restored in Ukraine. How to
13:48 restore this order, I wrote on November
13:51 22nd, '25 in Telegram. Please subscribe
13:54 to YouTube, to Telegram.
13:57 Everything is in the description of this
13:59 channel, yes, what you can subscribe to
14:03 Let's not lose touch.
14:06 On November 22nd, I wrote what will
14:08 return sovereignty and make the country
14:10 viable.
14:13 And there, the return, a, of the state
14:16 monopoly, the return of institutionality
14:19 to Ukraine, yes, the return of its
14:21 sovereignty, this means the
14:23 de-installation of NABU, SAPO, and all
14:25 sorts of supervisory boards in
14:27 state-owned companies.
14:31 That is, all foreign influence.
14:36 These people pursue the interests of the
14:38 countries they represent.
14:40 They do not represent the interests of
14:42 Ukraine, they are harming us.
14:45 And accordingly, until we clean them out
14:47 , it is impossible to talk about Ukraine
14:49 being prosperous and independent.
14:52 But only Russia and the States can solve
14:54 this by reaching an agreement. And
14:56 precisely within the framework of a
14:58 peaceful settlement.
15:01 I constantly draw attention to the
15:03 construct of an external management
15:05 vertical in my broadcasts in the hope
15:07 that it is watched by different parties
15:09 , yes, including those influencing the
15:11 future of our country.
15:19 They may be writing analytical reports,
15:21 and those who are actually involved and
15:24 are subjects of the negotiations will be
15:26 informed of the concerns, yes, and the
15:28 real reasons why their, a, agreements
15:31 could be disrupted, including due to the
15:33 fact that there are such people as Fiala
15:36 , such people as, a, Prytula, such
15:38 people as Sternenko, this entire
15:40 Soros-backed lot.
15:49 And they are agents of foreign influence
15:51 and will not serve Ukraine and will not
15:53 uphold agreements, and they couldn't
15:55 care less about the general world order
15:57 ; they will carry out, a,
16:07 tasks that will be assigned to them at
16:08 that moment by the people who will be
16:10 their masters.
16:13 So, I repeat once again, yes,
16:15 institutionally NABU, SAPO, and the HACC
16:18 are oriented toward the FBI, but that is
16:21 in strategic subordination.
16:25 In situational and operational
16:27 activities, I don't think the FBI
16:29 controls what they are doing there every
16:31 day.
16:34 Well, there are branches, there are
16:37 funds from which remuneration is paid to
16:39 NABU detectives, and he also solves some
16:41 of his own tasks.
16:45 And who assigns tasks to him?
16:47 Well, one can only guess.
16:51 Definitely not the USA as a state entity
16:53 ; some parts of its elites and the
16:55 interests of the state, unfortunately
16:58 for the elites, sometimes diverge.
17:03 And therefore, this is a threat not only
17:06 to Ukraine but also to the agreements
17:08 reached between the USA and the Russian
17:10 Federation.
17:13 I really hope that this thought will be
17:15 conveyed and that all of this will be
17:17 uninstalled.
17:23 Otherwise, this is all a risk zone, it
17:25 is a gray zone that could erupt into
17:27 another conflict with unpredictable
17:29 beneficiaries of this story.
17:36 Andrey Risky. Evgeny, what sectors of
17:38 Ukraine's economy do you think will
17:40 survive after the peace agreements? I
17:43 don't know which ones are actually alive
17:45 right now.
17:47 I understand it as the client is more
17:49 dead than alive, as the saying goes.
17:54 We are a state on a ventilator.
17:57 That is, mechanical ventilation of the
17:59 lungs.
18:02 We do not live by budget laws, we do not
18:04 live by the Constitution, we live, uh,
18:07 by the laws of a dictatorship, with
18:09 complete
18:15 compensatory mechanism for all budget
18:18 deficits by the main beneficiaries of
18:20 the war, Europe and the United States.
18:23 Well, they have distanced themselves for
18:25 now, but that’s not important.
18:27 One way or another, they decide whether
18:29 to allow Europe to finance it or not. I
18:31 mean, as long as finances are still
18:34 coming in, as I said, earmarking 90 is
18:36 not the same as giving it.
18:40 It’s a promise, it’s giving Trump cards
18:42 for negotiations, but in reality, they
18:44 are allocating pennies.
18:52 And these pennies just cover basic
18:54 subsistence, support, and salaries, but
18:56 offer no prospects for ending the
18:58 conflict, its development, or its
19:00 transition into a more understandable
19:02 stage in terms of Ukraine’s defense
19:04 capability.
19:10 So, it’s purely for maintenance.
19:13 Therefore,
19:17 sectors of the economy are an absolutely
19:19 conditional concept.
19:22 Metallurgy has stalled, the export of
19:25 agriculture, minerals, ore, and coal has
19:28 stopped; there are no ports.
19:31 I don’t know what is alive.
19:34 Retail, services—but in reality, they
19:37 tell us that, just think about it, our
19:40 GDP in wartime is higher than it was
19:42 before the war.
19:46 Half the country has left, everything is
19:48 destroyed, energy is super expensive,
19:51 industry after industry is shutting down
19:53 , yet GDP is growing. Who believes this
19:56 nonsense?
19:58 But it’s necessary to grant loans, to
20:00 pretend that the client is more alive
20:02 than dead. But that is not the case.
20:05 That’s why we discussed at the forum
20:07 that the first thing to do is an audit.
20:10 An audit of debts, an audit of
20:11 industries, personnel, everything,
20:14 everything, everything.
20:17 Without this, to make a diagnosis or
20:19 forecast something real—there’s one guy
20:21 in the forum writing, "I want to see
20:23 Murayev’s program."
20:28 Well, look, if you have a patient, will
20:31 you just stick a finger up his backside
20:33 to make a diagnosis, or will you
20:35 actually conduct a full check-up?
20:38 How can you understand what’s happening
20:40 with the country without understanding
20:42 the situation with industries, personnel
20:44 , the number of people with disabilities
20:46 , those who have died, and what our
20:48 demographics are in general?
20:50 Do you seriously think that something
20:52 real can be done?
20:56 You can develop a basic program,
20:58 identify sectoral goals, determine
21:00 principles for some kind of development
21:02 , but to create a real program without a
21:05 diagnosis, to prescribe treatment
21:07 without even understanding
21:12 the symptoms, without understanding
21:15 anything—only demagogues can do that.
21:17 That’s not me.
21:18 Therefore, we need to wait, we need to
21:21 understand, and
21:24 only then understand how to get out of
21:26 this.
21:28 It is clear that there are problems with
21:30 energy, it is clear who can solve them,
21:32 it is clear which transnational projects
21:35 can be developed immediately with China
21:37 , with the Arab world, right?
21:41 My friends, I have said many times, I
21:43 spent three years very systematically on
21:46 a huge number of meetings so that no one
21:48 would have any doubts.
21:51 Everything is captured on video. You
21:53 will see.
21:59 dozens of companies I have negotiated
22:01 with, what I negotiated, what I agreed
22:04 on, what they promised, what they have
22:06 already outlined, how they see it, what
22:08 they will agree to, if Ukraine
22:10 guarantees peace, stability, reasonable
22:13 governance, and not uh telling us that
22:22 we will reward them with power.
22:24 One comrade already told you, let's ban
22:27 fifteen-year-olds from leaving, yet you
22:29 reward them with power.
22:32 They won't give money to a Ukraine like
22:34 that.
22:35 And they won't supply anything here.
22:38 Money loves stability, silence, and a
22:40 guarantee of return.
22:44 If the ideas are revanchism, that's
22:46 civil war.
22:48 And you don't even need to do any audit
22:51 This is fratricide.
22:53 The whole world will wall itself off
22:55 from us and wait until Galicia crawls
22:57 toward Poland, and the Southeast toward
22:59 Russia.
23:01 God forbid.
23:04 But
23:07 we may yet become witnesses to all of
23:09 this disgrace.
23:11 Therefore, it is better to discuss and
23:13 talk things through to prevent yet
23:15 another stupidity.
23:17 I will remind you once again, we are
23:19 international-class masters of
23:21 speed-running into rakes.
23:23 That is us. This, well, has been proven
23:26 repeatedly. Last question. Irina
23:29 Berantsy. Hello, I am interested in one
23:31 question.
23:32 Why do the Russian authorities agree to
23:34 peace talks time after time?
23:37 After all, all previous ones, starting
23:39 with Minsk, eventually turn out to be
23:42 fake, a sham.
23:44 Irin.
23:50 >> I already have high treason,
23:54 calls for the overthrow of the
23:55 constitutional order,
24:04 inciting—I am translating from Ukrainian
24:07 —international hatred,
24:16 justification of the aggression of the
24:18 Russian Federation.
24:20 And now you, well, they won't open a
24:22 criminal case against me for this
24:24 article a second time.
24:26 The Russians did not want war.
24:30 For eight years, the Russians tried to
24:32 force Poroshenko and Zelensky to
24:34 implement Minsk, to push Donbas into
24:37 Ukraine by any means necessary.
24:42 Look.
24:44 Crimea.
24:45 Referendum.
24:49 It was immediately accepted into the
24:51 Russian Federation. Donbas. Referendum.
24:54 Was Donbas accepted into the Russian
24:56 Federation after the referendum?
24:59 No. And they didn't intend to.
25:02 And they didn't want to.
25:04 And there was Minsk one, then Minsk two
25:06 , these endless meetings.
25:10 Look, Minsk was written out in points,
25:12 the first, the second, up to the twelfth
25:17 Tell me, please, when you write a
25:20 schedule—first, 7:00 AM wake up, 7:20,
25:23 yes, exercise,
25:27 then toilet, shower, yes, breakfast.
25:31 Well, you write the points in the order
25:33 they should be done.
25:34 You can't brush your teeth before you've
25:36 woken up. Logical?
25:38 And for you, point one means it is first
25:40 , and twelve means it is last.
25:43 For eight years, Ukraine argued that the
25:46 ninth point should come before the third
25:48 , hypothetically.
25:51 So the entire discussion was, the
25:53 question—why were they written in that
25:56 order?
25:58 Well, probably to be carried out in that
26:00 order. No, Ukraine says not so. How
26:03 about we do it this way here? But you
26:04 already signed it.
26:06 And this is an action plan, yes,
26:08 regarding the initiatives of Poroshenko
26:11 and Putin.
26:12 The title of that text was just huge.
26:20 For eight years she tried to squeeze it
26:23 in, didn't want to fight, persuaded
26:25 Biden in Geneva, warned Zelensky many
26:27 times, and built up the grouping.
26:32 It stood at the borders for 8 months.
26:35 It stood at the borders for eight months
26:37 . I don’t, well, eight, I don't think
26:39 I'm mistaken.
26:43 All the intelligence services told
26:45 Zelensky that war was coming. Everyone
26:47 understood that there would be a war.
26:50 Planes with military aid were landing in
26:52 Kyiv, everyone understood it would
26:54 happen.
26:58 So this wasn't something spontaneous.
27:01 I mean, they brought them out, built an
27:03 army, met in Geneva, and stated the plan
27:06 . And everyone understands, right, if an
27:08 army is standing there and there's a
27:10 plan. Let's sign a new security
27:12 architecture.
27:14 Because if we don't sign it, well, the
27:16 gun will go off in the third act, right
27:18 , in the third act. It was obvious,
27:20 wasn't it?
27:21 And tell me, why did the Russians need a
27:24 war?
27:25 Where did the Russians vacation, where
27:27 did they spend money, whose wine did
27:30 they drink, whose brands did they wear,
27:32 and so on.
27:33 But they were with every fiber, where do
27:35 their children study?
27:38 In Saratov or in London and everything
27:40 else.
27:41 But they integrated with every fiber of
27:44 their soul into the European agenda.
27:46 Thank God, not into the values, but into
27:49 this lifestyle, into this consumerism,
27:52 yachts, planes.
27:57 Talk about the heritage of the Soviet
27:59 Union. No, it is not a socialist country
28:03 Russia is a capitalist country with a
28:05 capitalist structure.
28:07 They understood that war would mean
28:09 being cut off from everything.
28:12 Well, there were just existential
28:13 threats for them.
28:16 I mean, to take this step, they just had
28:19 to be forced, well, just to be dragged
28:21 into this war.
28:24 And I explained, yes, Europe's green
28:27 transition.
28:29 So it was clear beforehand that this was
28:31 preparation, this was luring them in.
28:35 We won't give Ukraine weapons, and then
28:38 they lured the Russians into another
28:39 half-trillion trap.
28:42 They were clearly confident that they
28:44 would handle it faster and that nothing
28:46 would help, but everyone was wrong, and
28:48 it’s a common tragedy.
28:54 why are they negotiating? Because they
28:56 don't want this war.
28:59 Because for them, Ukraine is not
29:01 Zelensky, Ukraine is not Azov or the 3rd
29:03 Assault Brigade, and Ukrainians are not
29:06 an enemy people.
29:09 And I am not just talking about this,
29:12 believe me, I have many Russian
29:13 acquaintances.
29:16 I am here in Beijing, just so you
29:18 understand, I have both Russians and
29:20 Ukrainians on my team.
29:23 And they communicate perfectly well.
29:25 Because people are not enemies of people
29:29 Zelensky is a construct.
29:33 Zelensky is just another agent of
29:35 influence, recruited, blackmailed, a
29:37 puppet carrying out tasks.
29:41 Look, I will be accused again of making
29:44 excuses.
29:46 Today Chmut said that when the war ends
29:48 , the people of Ukraine will realize
29:50 that the Europeans are the enemies.
29:54 And what if we then, together with the
29:56 Russians, go after Europe. You’re an
29:58 idiot, you spent five years telling
30:00 people
30:03 where the enemy is.
30:05 Look, these are the real enemies.
30:07 Do you think they didn’t understand that
30:11 They understood, but they were making
30:13 money, and they used slogans to tell you
30:15 how you need to fight for independence
30:17 and sovereignty.
30:19 Chmut is
30:22 he has a foundation, right, "Come Back
30:24 Alive."
30:25 Look, 20%of the money that went into his
30:28 foundation from your donations, he kept
30:30 for the foundation's operations.
30:34 For his own dear self, for those who
30:37 work at this foundation, for salaries,
30:39 for travel, and for everything else.
30:44 20%of your donations is his happy life.
30:49 If you donated a billion to him, he kept
30:51 200 million for himself.
30:54 Just like Prytula, just like Sternenko.
30:57 So that you don't misunderstand or have
30:59 any doubts.
31:00 So that you later understand why
31:02 Sternenko is in a $ 300,000 Range Rover
31:05 So that it would be simply obvious to
31:07 you.
31:14 I am not making excuses. I repeat, I
31:17 understand the cause-and-effect
31:18 relationships.
31:20 I understand who pushed us into this war
31:24 I spent a lot of time, energy, and money
31:26 to prevent it, explaining why Minsk was
31:29 better.
31:32 I was against the Maidan. We lost Crimea
31:34 because of the Maidan, because of the
31:36 Maidan and the attempts to, uh,
31:41 tear up the Kharkiv agreements and kick
31:43 the Russian fleet out of Crimea.
31:48 The Russian fleet has been in Crimea
31:50 since the victory in the Russo-Turkish
31:52 War, from the very beginning
31:57 of Crimea becoming part of the Russian
31:59 Empire—not Ukraine, part of the Russian
32:02 Empire.
32:04 From the very first day that Crimea was
32:07 in our cultural and state, in our
32:09 cultural and state space, Russian ships
32:11 were there.
32:14 Therefore, no Turchynov, Avakov, or
32:17 Yatsenyuk could kick them out of there
32:19 on the wave of a, uh,
32:25 bloody armed coup d'état under any
32:27 circumstances.
32:32 And I, in parliament—you could check the
32:34 meetings of the Committee on Foreign
32:36 Affairs, I was the deputy head of the
32:38 committee—I told Shevchenko, a professor
32:40 from some Lviv university from the
32:42 Svoboda party, quite frankly, when he
32:44 was talking about how we would denounce
32:46 the Kharkiv agreements, I told him how
32:49 it would end.
32:54 That it would end in either war with
32:56 Russia, but that Russian ships would
32:58 never leave Crimea at all, not ever.
33:01 Which, for the most part, is exactly
33:03 what happened. Meaning, a politician’s
33:06 job is to foresee.
33:10 Your freedom ends where the freedom of
33:12 another person begins.
33:17 And if you are weaker, you must
33:18 understand what will happen if you step
33:20 on Klitschko’s foot and spit in his face
33:24 Well, can you guess what will happen?
33:26 Why do you think it should be any
33:28 different between countries?
33:31 It was predictable.
33:33 So, to complain that, oh, we wanted to
33:36 cause harm, we had the right, we’re so
33:38 free, but now we have no country—only
33:41 morons could do that.
33:44 And if you let these morons into power
33:46 once more, guys, that’s a clinical
33:48 diagnosis, and it will end exactly the
33:50 same way again.
33:53 You have to earn your country.
33:57 The right to sovereignty and statehood
33:59 must be defended.
34:03 And not necessarily with weapons in hand
34:05 , you just need to understand how it
34:07 works and avoid mistakes that lead to
34:09 the loss of the happiness we all once
34:11 had.
34:16 Therefore, my friends, first of all, I
34:18 believe in negotiations.
34:21 Of course, not in Abu Dhabi, not those
34:24 kinds.
34:27 I am sure that the general lines have
34:29 already been outlined, but we need the
34:31 ritual dances, the beating of drums, we
34:33 need the curtain, and we need the
34:35 applause.
34:38 We are in a political theater.
34:41 That is, there will still be things that
34:44 will, one way or another, legitimize the
34:46 processes that have already taken place
34:49 , while some processes are still in the
34:51 preparation, completion, and
34:53 finalization stages of the agreements.
34:58 So, all that’s left is to wait and be
35:01 patient for a little while; those who
35:03 are tired of hiding, just hang in there
35:05 a bit longer.
35:08 Those who are in the risk zone, well, be
35:10 careful and take care of yourselves.
35:14 I will see you on Monday in the forum
35:16 format.
35:18 If you have any questions, write to me
35:20 in the bot.
35:22 Subscribe to Telegram, leave comments,
35:25 and I will reply.
35:28 Let’s finally move in a constructive
35:30 direction.
35:31 Take care of yourselves. Hugs. Talk to
35:34 you later.
