АРАХАМИЮ ГОТОВЯТ НА ЗАМЕНУ ЗЕЛЕНСКОМУ? США, НАБУ и тайные переговоры

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 and Shelest speculate that the US, through NABU and the High Anti-Corruption Court, is pressuring Arakhamia to replace an "illegitimate" Zelensky, so that Russia, the US and others can settle Ukraine's future through a transitional government.
The video says · at 9:29 · quote checked against the transcript
“In other words, he's not legitimate.”
In other words, he's not legitimate.
It presents Zelensky as an illegitimate leader controlled by MI6, NABU as an American "external control" vertical, and Arakhamia as a US citizen (admittedly "unverified"), while Ukraine's future is shown as settled by Russia, the US and other powers, which matches the Kremlin line of Russia–US talks deciding Ukraine's fate and Zelensky as the obstacle to peace.

0:01 Why is Arakhamia so sour?
0:04 Two points that I visually drew
0:06 attention to, I started talking about
0:09 Russians there, Russian, English, yes,
0:11 Medinsky, Umerov, then they all speak
0:13 Russian.
0:15 And so it's so interesting, yes, also,
0:17 like, the outfit of those first day of
0:19 these negotiations in Abu Dhabi.
0:22 They immediately took a photo. I didn't
0:24 get it at all, to be honest. Well, no,
0:26 I've been following politics for a long
0:28 time, but now, yes, there's a moment of
0:31 some kind of truth. And they're like,
0:32 you know, those two in their home
0:34 clothes, Budanov is also in his home
0:35 clothes, he always walks like that. So
0:37 there are all these photos, sneakers
0:39 there, guys in Arafat hats behind, all
0:41 that stuff. So, we're like, arrived,
0:43 arrived. Well, arrived, arrived, fine.
0:48 I'm getting the feeling now that they—I
0:50 noticed this a long time ago, by the way
0:53 —all these daily recordings of phone
0:55 conversations, conversations with
0:56 Zelenskyy's phone, yes, when he's doing
0:58 all these, well, all these reports, like
1:01 for the country, for unity.
1:05 Well, I worked there for six months, and
1:07 then everything somehow became
1:08 irrelevant, and opinions kept changing.
1:12 It doesn't work for long. I got the
1:14 feeling back then that he was recording
1:16 reports for someone, well, for a curator
1:18 , in short.
1:19 You know, there's this nasty game for
1:21 kids, like Blue Whale or something.
1:24 And it feels like someone's leading it.
1:28 Someone gives these little quests, yes,
1:30 and then it all ends badly in the end,
1:32 like stepping forward from a nine-story
1:34 building, and the parents are crying,
1:36 you know?
1:39 Well, that's a tough example, not a
1:41 funny parallel at all, but it's not
1:43 meant to be funny.
1:44 It felt like they weren't just there to
1:46 report, like, "Well, here we are, we've
1:48 arrived."
1:50 And, well, they arrived all dressed up,
1:52 and then suddenly, everyone was in suits
1:54 , except Umerov.
1:56 Only Umerov, well, he probably didn't
1:58 have a suit that fit. I mean, everyone
2:00 was like bunnies. Remember the last
2:02 rounds in Istanbul?
2:04 What was there? Someone was in military
2:06 uniform, they were like, well, military
2:08 , we're not military. No, everyone was
2:10 in suits, everything as expected. Umerov
2:12 just distinguished himself. But in the
2:14 photographs themselves, the Arakhamias
2:16 look painfully sour.
2:18 Painfully.
2:20 I don't think the criminal case through
2:22 the High Anti-Corruption Court upset him
2:23 that much. We all have criminal cases
2:25 here, and this criminal case has been
2:27 the talk of the town for a long time.
2:30 But he was upset with Melanie, although
2:31 it seemed like he had a good reason.
2:35 Everyone did everything right, eh, at
2:37 attention, everyone, Melanie is happy,
2:40 she's a peacemaker.
2:43 And Russia carried out everything there
2:45 to the letter, and Ukraine did
2:46 everything, no incidents.
2:48 It was even quiet in Odessa. They're
2:50 simply destroying Odessa there now. Ah,
2:52 but during this humanitarian mission,
2:54 everything was completely quiet. The
2:56 Odessans at least took a breather;
2:58 they're writing too.
2:59 But he was upset there, he's upset here
3:02 in Abu Dhabi.
3:03 Listen, there's something strange going
3:06 on.
3:07 I'm picking up on Arakhamia's mood, as
3:09 if something is going on behind the
3:11 scenes.
3:12 What do you know about it?
3:14 Well, what do you think, uh, is the
3:16 reason for Arakhamia's terrible mood?
3:23 >> Sasha, well, I haven't been informed yet
3:26 , but I can assume that the situation in
3:28 Oleshky, yes, and although it was
3:30 absolutely humanitarianly justified and
3:33 necessary, it happened on the eve of the
3:35 midterm congressional elections.
3:41 That is, when, a few days before the
3:44 elections, as a rule, this is used, yes
3:46 , exclusively for some kind of PR.
3:52 And we understand that Trump promised
3:54 his voters peace, yes, not to involve
3:56 the United States in conflicts outside
3:58 of America, but nevertheless allowed it
4:01 to be drawn into the Middle East.
4:08 And, as experts believe, yes, and as the
4:10 Republicans themselves believe, this led
4:13 to them losing both the House of
4:15 Representatives and the Senate, and,
4:17 accordingly, they tried to somehow
4:19 salvage the situation on the eve of the
4:21 vote.
4:26 So, Oleshki, Melania Trump—it was a
4:29 mini-promotion—I don't want to call it a
4:31 production, but a mini-promotion on the
4:33 eve of the election—to demonstrate that
4:36 Trump did promise peace, and now the
4:38 first steps toward a peaceful resolution
4:40 are already underway.
4:45 That is, before the vote, it was
4:47 necessary.
4:50 After the Republicans 'defeat, dragging
4:52 Arakhamia in, dragging two ombudsmen in
4:55 , and, yes, meeting with Melania Trump
4:57 seemed unnecessary.
5:02 And imagine, Arakhamia, yes, he lands,
5:04 apparently flies, flies without
5:07 supervisors, without an escort like
5:10 Yermak or Zelensky, that is, he flies
5:12 alone.
5:14 Well, he could clearly…Oh, or rather,
5:17 the ombudsman, the name slipped my mind
5:19 .
5:19 >> Lubinets, yes.
5:21 >> Lubinets. For him, he's clearly not an
5:23 overseer, yes, and not an authority. So
5:25 , he flies as an elder to meet with
5:28 Melania Trump, and upon landing, he
5:30 learns that it's the High
5:31 Anti-Corruption Court.
5:34 And he clearly understands, yes, that
5:36 this is a court that is oriented toward
5:38 the United States of America, primarily
5:41 , the funds of American taxpayers.
5:44 You read the interview with Ruslan
5:47 Kravchenko, yes, the former
5:54 Prosecutor General, who recently gave an
5:56 interview, literally today, to an
5:58 American publication, and addressed the
6:01 United States, saying that NABU, SAP,
6:03 and VAKS are working against the
6:05 interests of the American people,
6:07 against peace, against the interests of
6:09 the Trump administration, using American
6:12 taxpayers' money.
6:16 In other words, he once again confirmed
6:18 that this is an American vertical, an
6:20 American vertical of external control.
6:26 And then, imagine, Arakhamia arrives in
6:28 America, and the American vertical of
6:31 external control, yes, makes a decision
6:33 about what should be entered into the
6:35 register of pre-trial decisions, yes,
6:38 obliging the Prosecutor General's Office
6:40 to open a criminal case against
6:42 Arakhamia, thus gaining access to the
6:44 Verkhovna Rada.
6:50 So, on the one hand, we understand this
6:52 ; it's all expected.
6:56 Well, imagine, Arakhamia is an American
6:59 citizen, yes, who is accused of paying
7:01 salaries in envelopes to Ukrainian MPs.
7:05 Sasha, what do we have? I don't think
7:08 they paid in hryvnia, right? He says, "
7:09 There were all sorts of people
7:11 >> laughing, everyone's laughing on social
7:13 media."
7:13 >> Dollars, 15,000 dollars. Let me remind
7:16 you,
7:16 >> they say, "We're Europe, we're Europe."
7:18 But why is everyone buying dollars? You
7:20 know, we're Europe. Well, buy euros.
7:23 It's the gangsters who print euros.
7:25 The
7:26 >> United States has an extraterritorial
7:29 principle of law enforcement.
7:33 This means that if a crime is committed
7:35 using US dollars, it's a matter for the
7:37 American legal system.
7:41 And then imagine, Arakhamia arrives, the
7:44 American hierarchy demands a criminal
7:46 case be opened for committing a crime
7:48 using US dollars.
7:51 And he, according to unverified
7:53 information, or rather, according to
7:55 multiple confirmations, is also a US
7:57 citizen.
7:59 Do you think he only met with Melania
8:02 Trump there, or was he also brought in
8:04 by the FBI, the CIA, or somewhere else,
8:07 and explained what's included in the
8:09 criminal case, ah, being investigated by
8:12 NABU?
8:14 And what will happen to Arakhamia if he
8:17 doesn't hear the arguments that, ah,
8:19 will be presented to him, yes, by US law
8:22 enforcement, yes?
8:26 What will happen to him as an American
8:28 citizen, as a person who committed, well
8:30 , if he's not an American citizen, a
8:32 crime involving US dollars?
8:35 So they're picturing him getting 80
8:37 years, maybe even 120, yes, which is
8:39 what he'll serve if he suddenly refuses
8:42 the offer. What kind of offer could that
8:44 be? I'm just guessing.
8:46 Look, everyone has the same question
8:48 these days, right?
8:50 What will happen to Zelenskyy? Will he
8:52 sign or not, to what extent is he, ah,
8:55 completely in the arms of Britain and
8:57 MI6, to what extent is MI6 controlling
9:00 him? What if he digs in his heels and
9:02 refuses to do what the United States
9:04 wants?
9:06 There's an alternative.
9:09 Considering that all countries, yes,
9:11 most, and, well, the lawyers in these
9:13 countries clearly understand that
9:15 Zelenskyy's legitimacy, ah, legitimacy,
9:18 is highly questionable, that at the end
9:20 of his five-year term, he was supposed
9:22 to hand over his powers to an acting
9:24 president, and that should be the
9:26 speaker of the Verkhovna Rada.
9:29 In other words, he's not legitimate. So
9:32 , who can replace him when something
9:34 needs to be signed?
9:36 Right, a new speaker of parliament.
9:40 Let's not call him a new one, but a
9:42 speaker of parliament whose legitimacy
9:44 no one questions.
9:46 Because while the presidential term is
9:48 limited to five years in the
9:49 Constitution, that's not the case with
9:51 parliament.
9:54 There's the principle of continuity of
9:56 power, meaning parliament functions
9:58 until the next elected parliament takes
10:00 the oath of office.
10:03 In other words, the previous one is
10:05 acting in office. So, as of today,
10:08 >> we, we, ah, ah, have they offered
10:10 Arakhamia the post of speaker?
10:12 Or what's his role? That's what I'm
10:14 >> getting at.
10:16 That is, since Arakhamia is in charge of
10:19 the process in the Verkhovna Rada, no
10:21 matter how they feel about him, his
10:22 communications are fine.
10:27 He's built quite diplomatic
10:28 relationships with all the factions.
10:32 And when necessary, any laws that should
10:34 be passed in Zelenskyy's interests are
10:36 passed.
10:39 In other words, he can push through and
10:40 orchestrate the passage of any decision
10:43 I don't know what to tell him. What if
10:45 >> the decision isn't in Zelenskyy's
10:47 interests?
10:51 >> Well, when the question of 120 or 80
10:53 years in prison for David Arakhamia
10:55 personally comes up, I think he won't
10:57 even have a dilemma, Sasha, he'll have a
10:59 clear desire to save himself, because
11:01 Zelenskyy has sold out absolutely
11:03 everyone.
11:10 Zelenskyy even sold out Yermak, sold out
11:12 Shefir, sold out Trofimov, sold out all
11:14 his childhood friends, sold out all his
11:17 subordinates.
11:20 So the question is, when will
11:21 Arakhamia's turn come, and he
11:23 understands that Zelenskyy will betray
11:25 him just like everyone else.
11:30 So, if Arakhamia's time has already come
11:32 , if he's been shown his prospects and
11:34 given a task, then we'll now begin
11:36 watching the next episodes we discussed
11:41 But what happens if Zelenskyy digs in
11:43 his heels?
11:44 We discussed it, right?
11:51 There will be new tapes, there will most
11:53 likely be new leaks, parliament will be
11:54 reformed, a new speaker will be elected
11:56 who will be able to act as acting
11:58 president in Zelenskyy's absence.
12:05 How they'll arrange his absence, we can
12:07 only guess.
12:10 But will it be Arakhamia or someone from
12:12 parliament?
12:14 Ah, the big question.
12:17 Plus, I also want to emphasize the
12:19 following.
12:22 If Russia agrees with America, yes, on a
12:24 transition period, on holding elections
12:27 someday, on a transition to democratic
12:29 procedures in Ukraine, then
12:34 parliament is also key to resolving this
12:36 issue.
12:39 In fact, the entire transition period
12:41 could be managed by a transitional
12:43 government, and who will appoint this
12:45 government?
12:47 A pro-government coalition, yes, that is
12:50 , a parliamentary majority.
12:55 So, it's entirely possible now, during
12:58 the course of agreements between Russia
13:00 , Ukraine's security guarantors, the
13:02 United States, sponsors, China, and
13:03 Middle Eastern countries, a certain
13:05 vision of a compromise government could
13:07 emerge, people who would be given money
13:10 and security guarantees.
13:18 They would need to be legitimized for
13:20 the period when the rule of law is
13:22 restored, when, well, things will
13:24 stabilize, yes, and the post-war
13:26 processes will get back on track.
13:31 Yes, these people will need to be
13:33 legitimized and voted for.
13:36 These aren't necessarily Ukrainian
13:38 citizens, these aren't necessarily
13:40 people who should...You know, there's
13:42 always been a dilemma: how...well, many
13:44 ...yes, Zelenskyy has driven absolutely
13:47 the entire opposition into exile.
13:49 Absolutely outrageous, absolutely
13:51 illegal, some with sanctions, some with
13:53 criminal cases, but one way or another,
13:55 he forced them out of the country.
13:58 Yes, and most of them have been outside
14:00 of Ukraine for more than three years,
14:02 and therefore cannot participate in the
14:04 elections.
14:08 So, they are absolutely eligible for the
14:09 Cabinet of Ministers; they don't need to
14:11 be in Ukraine to do so, but they do need
14:13 votes in parliament, and it's quite
14:15 possible that this is one of the tasks
14:17 that will actually be chopped up into
14:19 arakhamia.
14:22 And he won't have much choice.
14:24 >> Yes, an interesting clarification,
14:26 because you only need to be elected,
14:28 have a quota to be elected. You don't
14:31 have to be appointed. But here's another
14:33 point, a small remark.
14:36 It turns out that with the barrel of a
14:38 gun of criminal cases to your head, we
14:40 will have an American government, yes,
14:42 we will have a transitional government
14:44 that will lead us to a brighter,
14:46 brighter vision of democracy, you
14:48 understand?
14:51 I mean,
14:51 >> we wouldn't say that, Sasha. You know,
14:54 you...An
14:54 >> aspen tree doesn't produce oranges. Wait
14:57 . You've just
14:59 >> slightly rephrased my thought.
15:07 Look, post-war Ukraine is in the
15:09 interests of absolutely all its
15:11 neighbors: a non-belligerent Ukraine, a
15:13 spirit of revanchism, and a war-like
15:15 parliament that will say, "Now we'll
15:17 build up our strength, break in, and
15:19 re-enter the 1991 borders," which will
15:21 create a point of destabilization on the
15:24 border of the European Union and the CIS
15:26 —well, two major markets, one way or
15:28 another.
15:36 And we understand that wars were fought
15:38 in the Middle East, and here, to reform
15:40 the global system.
15:44 Reforming the global system involves
15:46 understanding that
15:52 finances, technological chains, and
15:54 logistics chains will have to be
15:56 streamlined.
15:59 And, therefore, there must be peace,
16:01 calm, and grace on the planet for
16:03 everything to settle down, and for
16:05 everyone to return to their usual task
16:07 of making money.
16:09 I'm talking about global monopolies,
16:11 superpowers, states, and, yes, global
16:14 elites.
16:15 One way or another, there will have to
16:17 be a period of recovery. So, a peaceful
16:19 Ukraine is, first and foremost, in the
16:21 interests of all of its neighbors.
16:24 They will have to provide funds for a
16:25 peaceful Ukraine.
16:27 But they won't provide funds for
16:29 Zelensky; they will provide funds for
16:31 some comprehensive system, and at the
16:32 same time, this system must be
16:34 legitimate.
16:37 It must not contradict the Constitution
16:39 of Ukraine, it must not contradict
16:41 global law, right?
16:44 It must be under the auspices of the UN
16:46 , yes, and comply with the UN Charter.
16:53 Therefore, now we still need to figure
16:55 out how to prevent Ukraine from sliding
16:57 into war, so that...Look: you can come
17:00 up with 100,500 guarantees, write
17:02 something for everyone—a new Budapest
17:04 Memorandum, a new charter, a UN charter
17:06 —but it will be based solely on
17:08 interests, solely on fear, solely on the
17:11 balance and parity of armed forces, that
17:13 is, on a new system.
17:19 And to do that, yes, we need to secure
17:21 Ukraine internally.
17:25 And this will be done, well, it seems to
17:27 me, in the simplest possible way,
17:29 according to the scheme I described to
17:31 you.
17:32 So, it's not a question of the Muzzle,
17:35 the Americans, or Arakhami.
17:38 It's a question of understanding that a
17:40 period of peace must come.
17:44 >> We discussed it on paper, and you very
17:46 fiercely, I would say even fiercely—not
17:49 fiercely, but fiercely—defended the
17:51 position that these Nabucco guys, this
17:53 external control, all this, all this,
17:55 all this took away sovereignty, broke
17:58 the security forces.
18:00 Well, now they've broken the SBU. No,
18:02 well, not completely, though. This Duque
18:05 , an SBU guy, he wrote a post there
18:07 saying that a tank of was poured on
18:09 me, and people are already chipping in
18:11 for him, almost half of it, they've
18:13 chipped in for bail.
18:15 That other cop, well, the one who left
18:17 the National Police. That is, it would
18:20 have been a game there too, like sport
18:21 fishing, that is, they would have pulled
18:23 him out and let him go. Well, that's
18:25 just the way it is. But, that is, a blow
18:28 was dealt to the security forces.
18:31 And so, you seemed to be advocating that
18:33 this couldn't be done, but now it turns
18:34 out that there's no other way.
18:37 Why is Zelenskyy running around in
18:38 Europe like that? Why is he sitting
18:40 there so long?
18:44 What do you think of the version voiced
18:47 from a completely unexpected source,
18:48 from our former compatriots, exchanged
18:51 for those Azov fighters, by the way, MP
18:53 Medvedchuk.
18:59 He started this thing, that it turns out
19:01 that these FBI people who came from
19:03 America, they came specifically for
19:04 Zelenskyy.
19:07 So, everything is very clear and
19:09 consistent. Yeah, the Prosecutor
19:11 General's Office, that's it, goodbye
19:14 Kravchenko, blow, then the SBU, blow,
19:16 security forces, blow.
19:20 And this is before our national holiday
19:22 , Maidan, in the middle, somewhere
19:24 between November and December.
19:29 Well, we love Maidan, that's when it
19:31 starts.
19:32 And so, here we go, Maidan.
19:35 And this is the version being voiced
19:37 there, from Russia, in this, so to speak
19:39 , story.
19:43 It turns out that Russia will be
19:44 completely satisfied with the people of
19:46 the Ukrainian uliya, who are completely
19:48 seized by the soft tissue and other
19:50 organs.
19:54 >> Sasha, look, I also saw Medvedchuk's
19:56 statement today, but
19:59 from China.
20:04 Yes, six months ago, when all sorts of
20:06 confrontations between NABU, the SBU,
20:08 and so on began, I said that NABU and
20:10 the American anti-corruption vertical
20:12 are not the property of the Democrats,
20:14 that they are an instrument of the
20:16 United States of America.
20:25 And if the consensus among the American
20:27 elites is that the war must end, then
20:29 this vertical will work in the interests
20:31 of the United States, and not of
20:33 individual parties, like the Republicans
20:35 or the Democrats.
20:40 So what Medvedchuk is saying now—he's
20:43 simply Captain Obvious, right?
20:46 Back then, when everyone was arguing
20:48 about whether it was the Democrats, the
20:50 Europeans, or the Sorosites squeezing,
20:52 or whatever, I clearly said it was an
20:53 instrument of the United States.
20:57 But look, there are strategic objectives
21:01 And according to these strategic
21:03 objectives, this tool will work in
21:04 America's interests.
21:06 And then there are operational
21:08 objectives.
21:10 And there's the so-called grant
21:12 community, there's Fiala.
21:16 You know him, yes, a Ukrainian oligarch
21:19 who was aligned with Soros, with the
21:21 democrats—yes, he was a champion of this
21:23 very democracy.
21:30 He owns Ukrayinska Pravda and Bigus.info
21:32 , meaning he has institutional tools,
21:34 including media outlets, which are used
21:37 to resolve the issues of the Sorosites.
21:45 They resolve the issues of grant
21:46 recipients who are left without external
21:48 funding.
21:50 They've built a unique ecosystem.
21:55 NABU catches everyone, compromises
21:56 everyone, forces them to plea bargain
21:59 with investigators.
22:03 As a result of this plea bargain, some
22:05 of the money goes to the budget, some
22:07 goes to the foundations of, uh,
22:12 Sternenko and Prytula.
22:16 Money from these foundations is spent,
22:18 uh, for its intended purpose, laundered
22:20 , and grant organizations are supported
22:22 with the laundered money.
22:29 You probably don't know, but NABU
22:31 detectives receive a salary, part of it
22:33 from the Ukrainian budget, and part from
22:35 special funds that oversee this Fiala.
22:40 So, strategically, NABU will resolve
22:50 US issues, and operationally, it will
22:52 ensure the interests of this entire
22:53 ecosystem, the interests of Fiala, the
22:55 interests of the grant community, and
22:57 will generate the necessary funds to
22:59 maintain and support the functioning of
23:01 this system.
23:06 Therefore, there are several
23:08 beneficiaries here. The main, undisputed
23:11 beneficiary is the US.
23:13 And they will push through any decision
23:15 , because they created this vertical.
23:17 But once they have achieved their
23:19 strategic objectives, they
23:24 will not delve into how this structure
23:26 operates and whose interests it
23:27 simultaneously defends.
23:31 So, in parallel defending these
23:33 interests, grant recipients are trying
23:35 to seize as much power as possible for
23:37 themselves.
23:41 And what Dudka said, what Kravchenko
23:43 said today about the systemic takeover
23:45 of the institution of power is
23:47 absolutely true.
23:54 And when we spoke, I told you I'm
23:55 concerned that the high-ranking
23:57 negotiating parties are simply unaware
23:59 of what's actually happening on the
24:00 ground in Ukraine, that Moscow isn't
24:02 aware either, believe me.
24:07 And I don't think Washington is either.
24:15 They negotiate haphazardly, generally
24:17 speaking, yes, within general guidelines
24:19 , but a country ruled by the Sternenkos
24:21 , grant-eaters, and so on, won't be
24:23 completely governable and could actually
24:25 undermine any agreements reached during
24:28 this period, because right now,
24:29 institutional power is being seized once
24:31 again, right?
24:42 If foreign experts coordinate and select
24:44 law enforcement officials, then those
24:46 who select them will effectively be
24:47 running law enforcement agencies.
24:53 And the state is, first and foremost, a
24:56 coercive apparatus.
24:59 And it exercises this coercion
25:00 exclusively through state institutions,
25:02 through the law enforcement system.
25:06 That is, these instruments can control
25:08 politicians, they can control officials
25:11 , and therefore the country. Does
25:15 >> Moscow suit Moscow, excuse me?
25:20 Well, we have two armies that are
25:22 shedding blood.
25:24 Right?
25:27 The only difference is that the Russian
25:30 army is mostly contracted—well, the
25:32 lion's share, 90%, I won't say the
25:34 percentage, so as not to get caught.
25:38 The Russian army is where people are
25:40 under contract, and ours are, let's say
25:42 , captured people. Those who keep asking
25:44 me, last time they asked: what are the
25:46 Ukrainians fighting for? They need to
25:49 survive, to live.
25:50 They need to survive.
25:52 In general, with peace approaching,
25:54 everyone keeps saying, "Is there any
25:55 hope for peace?" Plenty. There are
25:58 plenty of signs of peace.
26:00 I'll tell you only two. The first is
26:02 that Lukashenko is with Putin today.
26:05 And somehow, you know...Well, I, well,
26:08 knowing simply...Well, you know this.
26:12 It's such an administrative-meaning
26:14 ritual story.
26:16 What did Putin say to Lukashenko?
26:19 Thank you, Alexander Grigorievich, for
26:21 your active involvement in the
26:22 humanitarian process, for the exchanges
26:24 we conduct through your territory, and
26:26 for the professionals you have working
26:28 there.
26:29 You know, it's like a medal for a job
26:31 well done. That is, everything,
26:33 everything is being completed. It's a
26:35 kind of intelligence signal. And it's
26:37 all very benevolent. These are very
26:39 accurate statements, all that stuff.
26:41 They have a security forum going on in
26:43 Moscow, too.
26:44 And the second point: as the end
26:46 approaches, we will learn much more.
26:51 Out of the blue, political scientist
26:53 Romanenko calls instructor Cherny to see
26:55 him, and he calls another soldier, who
26:57 told his story of how he was almost
26:58 killed at the front, when they took his
27:01 cap and combat boots.
27:04 And about the extortion in the army.
27:06 And they went into great detail there,
27:08 well, about how they gave the soldiers
27:10 sacks, and they looted the copper—in
27:12 short, the copper, everything of value,
27:14 into sacks.
27:16 And so, these are just soldiers '
27:18 stories.
27:19 How are we used to it? How did I get
27:21 used to it as a kid? A war veteran comes
27:23 and tells us how they fought there, how
27:25 they helped there.
27:27 And these are modern soldiers' stories,
27:29 basically the truth, yes, that's how it
27:32 is.
27:33 This is all this.
27:35 And it's crawling out now.
27:37 They're trying to somehow feed us the
27:39 crocodile.
27:41 This is another intelligence sign that
27:43 the war is ending.
27:44 And I'll explain why.
27:48 I mean, people seriously think they can
27:50 cover up the complete failure to defend
27:52 Kyiv, the embezzlement of money and the
27:54 general lack of preparedness for
27:56 anything.
27:58 That is, winter will come right away.
28:01 Hello, Kyivites, it will be terrible,
28:03 terrible.
28:05 And they're covering for it: they found
28:07 some boxer, a former Sokolov, showed him
28:09 there with a luxurious Rolls-Royce
28:11 crocodile, all that stuff, where he
28:13 lives, and how he hangs out with chicks
28:15 on social media. And that's it, people
28:17 breathe a sigh of relief. Ah, so that's
28:19 where our money is.
28:21 1.5 billion hryvnias is a mini-truck
28:23 full of hryvnias.
28:25 And he has three people working for his
28:27 company.
28:28 Wait, where were all the countries,
28:30 where is everything? What, who did you
28:32 give it to? Do you think people are
28:34 fools?
28:35 The answer is yes, but this is also a
28:37 sign of the end.
28:38 A very sign of the end—to write off, to
28:40 push off, to finish and end.
28:43 I asked you a simple question.
28:49 Does Moscow like the government and de
28:51 facto external governance of Ukraine
28:53 after the war, under, uh, what do you
28:55 mean, a guillotine or a sword or an axe
28:57 from the United States of America?
29:06 >> Sasha, as usual, you've touched on
29:08 everything, so how can you squeeze in an
29:10 answer now?
29:11 Let's start from the beginning.
29:15 Mm, Sasha, I'm sure I won't get any
29:17 awards, but I already said back in
29:19 January of 1925 that November is the
29:21 month when all the final agreements will
29:24 be reached.
29:26 There was so much shouting and screaming
29:28 Just a couple of months ago, you were
29:30 saying this was all nonsense, even
29:32 though you're talking about it happening
29:35 Back then, I said Russia wasn't waging a
29:38 war of conquest.
29:41 Yes, they opened a criminal case against
29:43 me for justifying Russia's aggression.
29:48 And I'll tell you now: do you see Russia
29:50 having an interest
29:55 in Ukraine's post-war life?
29:58 I don't.
30:01 Russia's primary concern is ensuring its
30:03 own security.
30:09 Let's just imagine, to our horror, how
30:11 the Russian military and so on might
30:13 reason.
30:20 Well, there's no goal, and there never
30:22 was.
30:24 What Zelenskyy just said—that if we give
30:27 up Donbas, it won't stop Putin;
30:29 otherwise, why would he even approach
30:31 Kyiv?
30:32 It's 800 km from Donbas.
30:36 Putin wanted regime change in Ukraine: a
30:39 puppet regime that had shut down
30:41 opposition parties, shut down TV
30:42 channels, broken and banned [the
30:44 situation].
30:49 Yes, there was a possible peaceful
30:51 political outcome, yes, with competing
30:53 ideas, yes, and the possibility of
30:55 somehow putting Ukraine on a peaceful
30:57 path to resolving its problems without
30:59 war, yes, and securing a neutral,
31:01 non-aligned status.
31:07 It was clear that Zelenskyy, a deeply
31:09 covert, and even overt, agent of Great
31:11 Britain, was leading the country to war
31:16 And the idea that he didn't know
31:17 anything about it or didn't imagine that
31:19 he expected peace is untrue.
31:22 If he didn't intend to start a war on
31:24 Ukrainian territory, he wouldn't have
31:26 conducted
31:32 NATO exercises on Ukrainian territory.
31:37 NATO planes wouldn't have simulated
31:38 nuclear weapons drops on Russian
31:40 territory.
31:44 He wouldn't have built a military base
31:46 for Great Britain in Ochakov, he
31:47 wouldn't have spoken at the Munich
31:49 Conference, and so on.
31:53 So, Russia didn't intend to seize
31:55 Ukraine, and it doesn't need Ukrainian
31:59 Russia needs its own security. It has
32:01 sufficient resources.
32:05 Its area of interest, as history has
32:07 shown, is within the European Union,
32:09 many officials have properties in the
32:11 Lake Como region, in the Mediterranean
32:13 region—yes, so many villas, so many have
32:15 been arrested.
32:20 I haven't really seen the interests of
32:22 the Russian establishment reflected
32:23 anywhere in Ukraine.
32:30 Therefore, if Russia now agrees on a
32:32 security architecture and ensures that
32:34 Ukraine cannot threaten Russia, it won't
32:36 care what happens on Ukrainian territory
32:41 And I'll tell you what will happen on
32:43 Ukrainian territory.
32:44 What Kolomoisky said.
32:47 If Ukraine stops fighting Russia, they
32:49 won't give it any more money.
32:56 Let's just imagine for a second what
32:57 would happen to a country that won't
32:59 receive any more money, whose external
33:01 debt is twice, five times, I'd bet,
33:03 larger than its GDP, and which has
33:05 absolutely no chance of repaying or
33:07 working off this debt.
33:13 What would happen internally?
33:16 Can you imagine the tension, the turmoil
33:18 , and the processes that would unfold if
33:20 Ukraine were sealed off within its
33:22 borders, the military came to power, and
33:24 there was no money.
33:27 It would be a civil conflict. What would
33:29 that lead to?
33:34 The understanding that our state,
33:36 Ukraine, can't afford itself, and most
33:38 importantly, can't provide for it.
33:42 And it would most likely then collapse,
33:44 yes, into a number of parts.
33:49 Therefore, my friends, if you just stop
33:51 idealizing the situation for a second
33:53 and don't think that when the war ends,
33:55 foreign investors will flock here, ah,
33:57 all lined up, trying to find something
33:59 to pour in.
34:06 And you'll understand that a completely
34:08 different story could emerge, a
34:09 completely different scenario, one that
34:11 will be even more horrific than, well,
34:13 four and a half years of war, because
34:15 for those four and a half years, Ukraine
34:17 wasn't just keeping a closed account,
34:19 but an open one.
34:23 They signed contracts, they allocated
34:25 compensation money, yes, for the
34:27 destroyed energy sector, they covered
34:29 any cash flow gaps and budget deficits.
34:35 So, after the war ends, if everyone in
34:37 the perimeter understands that Ukraine
34:39 can't threaten the countries of the
34:41 European Union, won't threaten the
34:43 Russian Federation, and everyone stops
34:45 giving money there, we'll simply have,
34:47 well, we'll have a civil war, my friends
34:59 Therefore, when I propose something,
35:01 when I say that a transitional
35:03 government would be better, yes,
35:04 security guarantees, investors—yes, I'm
35:07 not holding a gun to my head; this is
35:09 the only possible scenario in which we
35:11 preserve our statehood, we preserve our
35:13 state, we can create a system in which
35:15 we try to bring our people back from
35:17 Europe and survive.
35:25 Because if all this doesn't happen, if
35:27 Russia turns its back for a second or a
35:29 couple of years, friends, we will lose
35:31 everything.
35:34 And we will be divided.
35:36 We will simply be divided, as I once
35:38 said back in 1914, like a patchwork
35:40 quilt.
35:42 Yes, the Europeans will make their
35:44 demands, yes.
35:46 Some territories will most likely ask to
35:48 join the Russian Federation, and some
35:50 will remain.
35:52 And, my friends, this is the saddest
35:54 thing that can happen.
35:57 So to think that Russia is sitting and
35:59 simply dreaming of somehow overcoming
36:01 this, yes, gaining control over what
36:03 will happen after the war.
36:06 But why? Ask yourself. Why waste these
36:09 resources?
36:10 Why
36:15 tilt at windmills, yes, convincing the
36:17 population that it is not the enemy, if
36:19 you can simply wait and see what happens
36:22 And what will happen is clear.
36:24 So, Sasha, the question is incorrect.
36:27 How to convince Russia?
36:35 Russia, Europe, China, and the United
36:37 States need to agree today that Ukraine
36:39 should remain, should retain its
36:41 statehood, should retain at least some
36:43 initial sovereignty in order to prepare
36:45 for the transition to democratic
36:46 procedures, right?
36:56 And to gain the right to restoration,
36:58 the right to debt forgiveness.
37:01 This is a colossal task.
37:05 We gather on Mondays and discuss, well,
37:07 a ton of these issues at the forum.
37:11 And I say, "Guys, we urgently need to
37:13 create a plan, a plan for post-war
37:15 Ukraine."
37:19 If we don't present it, if we don't
37:21 convince the international community
37:23 that we have the right to be, to live,
37:25 and to exist as a state, the easiest
37:27 option is security guarantees and simply
37:29 not to interfere.
37:36 We'll kill each other with the level of
37:38 hatred, with the return of the military
37:40 from the front, yes, with the capture of
37:42 the TCC and all the rest.
37:45 Just
37:47 think for a second about what will
37:49 happen.
37:50 So, Sasha, the question needs to be
37:52 phrased differently.
37:55 The question is, even in our interviews
37:57 with you, yes, when we discuss this, I
37:59 hope we are heard.
38:03 And if they do want to save us, the
38:05 Sorosites must be rooted out.
38:09 I am far from under any illusion that
38:11 the United States will let go of this
38:12 vertical of control they created, yes,
38:14 external.
38:17 The United States has guaranteed
38:18 interests.
38:21 They want to get back the 300 billion,
38:23 they have a resource deal, yes, they
38:25 hope to extract from our country the
38:26 mineral wealth that Zelenskyy had no
38:28 right to give away, but paid with it,
38:30 right?
38:33 But they will also have to somehow
38:34 control this.
38:39 And NABU will probably remain, but the
38:41 Prytuls, Sternenkos, Fialas–this
38:43 construct that is focused on money, on
38:45 supporting this corrupt community, which
38:47 is considered foreign agents.
38:54 All of this must be rooted out, because
38:56 we need to return the country to the
38:57 Ukrainians.
39:02 If this doesn't happen, if Ukraine tries
39:04 to survive as someone else's tool, it
39:06 won't survive, because no one behind it
39:08 needs a tool.
39:12 >> Again.
39:13 You still haven't answered on the third
39:15 try.
39:16 Maybe you can answer the question.
39:18 Does Moscow accept this set of demands?
39:22 Do you understand?
39:23 >> You don't see the demands, Sasha.
39:25 You don't see the demands. We don't know
39:27 what they're agreeing on.
39:29 We can only guess.
39:31 There is no peace plan.
39:34 If only we could see the 28 points, yes
39:36 , like last time.
39:38 I laid out these 28 points in detail on
39:41 Telegram on November 22nd of last year,
39:43 explaining why this can't be, why this
39:45 is a step towards war.
39:50 If only we could see a real agreement
39:52 between Russia and the United States
39:54 today, I would tell you: Ukraine is
39:55 doomed, or Ukraine will survive, or this
39:58 and that need to be changed.
40:02 Because I understand how the system,
40:05 formed, yes, with the "Rosyatki," works
40:07 internally—how things work, what the
40:09 elites cling to.
40:16 We have a lot of subjective things that
40:18 , you know, without understanding the
40:20 specifics of Ukrainian domestic politics
40:22 , are impossible to discern, well, with
40:25 the naked eye, or even with the armed
40:27 eye, from outside, from neighboring
40:28 states, because, well, you have to be in
40:30 touch, yes, you have to have some kind
40:33 of communication.
40:39 You understand what's really going on
40:41 and who's pushing the main issues right
40:43 now.
40:45 So, should I tell you that Shabunin is
40:47 the same as Klymenko, and they have a
40:49 50/50 split?
40:53 Should I tell you that, say, Poroshenko
40:55 , yes, paid half the money into the
40:57 budget, and the other half was laundered
41:00 through Ternenko for drones and returned
41:02 to finance FIAL, Ukrainska Pravda, Bigus
41:04 , and all that other stuff?
41:09 If I get those documents soon, I'll show
41:11 them to everyone.
41:14 But just so you understand, this is
41:16 hair-raising.
41:20 They're robbing Ukraine, robbing
41:21 American taxpayers, and creating a whole
41:23 new layer of things that will ruin plans
41:25 and major agreements.
41:30 In fact, it could be a time bomb under
41:32 the entire structure currently being
41:34 discussed as a new security architecture
41:41 You understand, if the country isn't
41:43 governed by people who will act within
41:45 the overall framework of agreements, and
41:47 they don't care about the country or
41:49 these agreements, and they become, well
41:51 , a tool to be manipulated—yes, like in
41:53 the IRP—but this is a new war, a
41:55 breakdown of all agreements and a slide
41:57 into World War III, in fact.
42:03 And this is the main threat, which is
42:05 why we're discussing this, I've
42:07 discussed it in other interviews, I
42:08 constantly point this out to get people
42:10 to pay attention.
42:13 This is, in fact, a catastrophic
42:15 situation. And even the SBU generals are
42:18 now talking about this.
42:20 Look, I have little respect for them.
42:25 Everyone who serves Zelenskyy's regime
42:27 is his accomplice.
42:30 And I'm not even looking at the drug
42:31 cartels right now, to what extent
42:33 they're connected.
42:35 Again, everyone who serves Zelenskyy
42:37 doesn't serve Ukraine, they serve him.
42:42 And if they haven't put an end to this
42:44 anti-corruption vertical, this
42:45 instrument of external control, they
42:47 can't call themselves the Security
42:48 Service of Ukraine, because they've
42:50 screwed Ukraine over precisely by
42:52 pandering to this vertical.
42:56 And now I have absolutely no, well, not
42:58 even a drop of pity for them.
43:02 But now they're starting to talk, yes,
43:04 they're starting to tell you who they've
43:06 imprisoned, how, how this vertical works
43:11 Kravchenko is giving an interview from
43:13 Austria and saying that a power grab is
43:15 underway within Ukraine.
43:17 Wasn't this obvious before? No, well,
43:20 look, they tried.
43:23 Yes, they pushed through this law, but
43:26 Zelenskyy, who was caught on tape and in
43:28 the Midas affair—yes, you saw it at that
43:30 ill-fated hacienda, Kravchenko wrote
43:32 about it—yes, Zelenskyy is number one,
43:34 and they're pressuring him.
43:41 I mean, well, the Prosecutor General
43:43 essentially confirmed—think about it,
43:45 confirmed—that Zelenskyy owns real
43:47 estate built with corrupt money from the
43:49 Ministry of Energy, which was overseen
43:51 by his partner in the ninety-fifth
43:53 quarter.
43:56 And so it's routine. Well, they're
43:59 pressuring Zelenskyy because he's the
44:00 only one on these tapes.
44:02 Holy cow, the president, the Prosecutor
44:04 General says he's the number one corrupt
44:07 official on the tapes.
44:08 And so it's routine. And Europe is
44:11 silent, and the Americans are silent.
44:13 Look, they can make a fool of him now,
44:15 if they want.
44:17 But the issue and Zelenskyy's fate
44:19 interest me little.
44:24 I'm interested in Ukraine's fate and
44:26 this consolidated decision that the
44:27 country must be preserved as a buffer,
44:29 as, I don't know, an economic zone, yes
44:31 , because it's important for the
44:33 unification of greater Europe.
44:39 Whether it's a carcass, a side, or a
44:41 dummy, I think every Ukrainian is
44:42 interested in this happening.
44:46 And if anyone thinks that if things get
44:48 heated in Ukraine, it will
44:53 somehow fall apart, be divided, and that
44:55 will be fine...Friends, there's no such
44:58 thing as controlled chaos.
45:04 You can't imagine what will happen when
45:06 even 20 million people, driven to
45:08 despair, find themselves with closed
45:10 borders, under military control, yes,
45:12 with sufficient weapons, and then
45:14 suddenly something changes in the world
45:16 , yes, and new money is injected into
45:18 this chaos.
45:23 This will mean a new resumption of war,
45:26 which, I think, no sane person wants.
45:29 >> In this, in this story. We now have
45:31 military control, press huts, something
45:34 is changing in the world, see?
45:37 People can't leave, they're being caught
45:39 , every day there's some kind of
45:40 shootout, some kind of conflict, you
45:42 know?
45:43 And they show us some boxers, some
45:45 strange people. We're in this situation
45:47 now. Do you understand what's going on?
45:51 There's also this issue here, well,
45:53 again, I'm not arguing for the sake of
45:55 arguing with you, but there's a very
45:57 clear marker.
46:01 I was just trying to raise the first
46:03 part of my questions, well, sort of, yes
46:05 , in the sense of, will Russia be
46:07 satisfied with the outcome of this war,
46:09 a bloody one for Russia?
46:13 Well, let's say this, with the
46:15 destruction, with Ukraine being handed
46:17 over to America, say, right? Will it be
46:20 satisfactory or not? It's satisfactory,
46:22 fine. A transition to democratic
46:24 procedures. And what kind of democratic
46:26 is that?
46:30 You see, people are just sitting there,
46:32 they've been with some pro-American
46:34 government for a while, and yet they're
46:36 seething, they're hurting, it's been a
46:38 year, for some it's been two, for others
46:40 , well, I mean, they held funerals in
46:42 cemeteries.
46:45 That's it, but revanchism is still
46:47 raging.
46:48 And it will play out in any case, you
46:50 see, after so many victims and so many
46:52 upheavals.
46:52 >> Sasha, but
46:53 >> the main thing is,
46:56 no one is removing the threat.
47:02 >> Sasha, look, you have to understand that
47:04 agreements, agreements, reaching
47:06 compromises in this case between the US
47:08 and Russia mean that a solution will be
47:10 found that suits the two superpowers.
47:16 That is, this is not a US victory. The
47:19 US did not win this war.
47:23 At this point in history, it's
47:24 absolutely clear that the efforts of
47:26 fifty countries, with the help of
47:28 Ukraine, have failed to defeat the
47:29 Russian Federation.
47:35 They failed to oust the Russian
47:37 Federation's leadership, install
47:39 loyalists, and pump resources into
47:41 Europe again at 200 euros apiece, so
47:43 that Europe would prosper, yes, and cut
47:45 Russia off from China, so that China
47:47 would collapse.
47:51 This plan failed.
47:53 So, we need to change the paradigm. We
47:55 talked about it, right?
47:57 Russia isn't negotiating from a weaker
47:59 position right now.
48:02 But you can't say it's from a position
48:04 of victory, meaning everyone truly feels
48:06 a sense of victory, right?
48:09 What if, as they said, it had reached
48:11 the borders of 1990, 1939, yes, even the
48:14 borders of 1945?
48:17 Guys, that didn't happen, but it's
48:19 impossible for the US to continue this
48:21 conflict.
48:23 We discussed it, yes, because it makes
48:26 China stronger.
48:29 And Europe can't cope, because in this
48:31 situation, Europe is losing industry
48:33 after industry, entering into, well,
48:35 domestic political turmoil, yes, they
48:37 have a ton of demonstrations, a ton of
48:39 discontent, and, in fact, there's an
48:41 exodus of both capital and people.
48:46 It's a dead end.
48:52 And in this case, yes, Russia still
48:54 holds a better hand than it did in 2021.
48:56 Well, I'm using Trump's terminology when
48:58 they laid out the terms of the security
49:01 architecture for Biden.
49:08 If Trump is talking about a security
49:10 architecture now, that means Russia is
49:13 achieving the result it wants 100%, 80%
49:15 , or 60%.
49:19 I can't judge right now.
49:23 We can analyze this after all the deals
49:25 are concluded, after we see the terms of
49:27 the peace settlement.
49:33 But even what the US President is
49:35 articulating suggests that the United
49:37 States is making certain compromises
49:38 that don't even suit Europe, or even
49:40 Great Britain.
49:45 Why all this fuss?
49:47 But they will definitely accept these
49:49 terms, because, I say again, Europe is a
49:51 vassal.
49:52 Again, visit my Telegram channel,
49:54 subscribe to my YouTube channel.
49:56 I describe this there constantly, giving
49:59 examples and figures.
50:01 Europe, once again, has been occupied
50:03 since 1945, is completely dependent on
50:06 the United States, and will do what the
50:08 United States needs.
50:10 No matter how much they brag now, no
50:12 matter how much they're adopting not a
50:13 position but a pose. It's a pose, not a
50:16 position.
50:17 Their pose, their position is
50:18 knee-and-elbow.
50:21 >> Again, knee-and-elbow or knee-and-elbow
50:23 . I understand that in Germany, Merz
50:26 hasn't given a damn about Ukraine,
50:28 saying, "I'm for Ukraine," but there's
50:30 no gas there.
50:31 There's no gas in Germany. Winter is
50:34 coming now, and there's no gas. Well,
50:36 that's just today's news.
50:38 But on the other hand, remember, Trump
50:40 becomes president.
50:43 And then this story is just beginning,
50:45 that now, now until the elections, yes,
50:47 until the elections, until these ones
50:49 that have just taken place. Now. And
50:51 everyone was saying, "Oh, my God, two
50:53 years." What until the elections? What
50:55 are you talking about?
50:56 And now we're at the two-year mark again
51:00 Again. That is, in principle, it's
51:02 impossible, given the way Russia is
51:04 currently enduring everything there—
51:07 well, they'll say, it's impossible. But
51:09 back then, that also seemed impossible.
51:12 So they'll just wait another two years
51:14 until Trump leaves.
51:16 And then, look, Putin will leave. They
51:19 have elections in 2030, right? So what?
51:22 They won't live to see Putin, until
51:24 Putin dies. Kolomoisky told us the same
51:27 thing. They'll live as long as there's a
51:29 power struggle, yes, yes, and they won't
51:31 elect Putin again; they'll elect someone
51:34 else, you see?
51:35 So, you see, it's like they lack a
51:37 position and a vision, but they've
51:39 already floundered for two years.
51:42 Now we're in a period where they'll
51:44 flounder for another two years. And this
51:47 is evidence that the forces, resources,
51:49 opportunities, plans, and, well, they do
51:52 exist, and we shouldn't underestimate
51:55 this side—the geopolitical war party, so
51:58 to speak.
52:00 >> Sasha, once again, the war party. The
52:03 war party, let's understand, is those
52:05 who profit from this war.
52:09 War strategy and war tactics have
52:11 changed.
52:13 Now the main technologies used in modern
52:16 warfare are bringing in money for China
52:20 These aren't Abrams, they aren't
52:22 Highmars, they aren't Panthers, they
52:24 aren't Leopards—not European, not
52:26 American, but Chinese weaponry.
52:29 That's one.
52:31 Second, next year is an election year in
52:33 the European Union.
52:36 And judging by what's happening in
52:38 France, Le Pen is leading and will win
52:40 in every possible way and come to power
52:44 She opposes continuing the conflict,
52:46 favors normalizing relations with Russia
52:49 , resuming trade, and, yes, resolving
52:51 disputes with the previous ones. Let's
52:54 take Germany—the AfD.
52:58 The same postulates are against the
53:00 current agenda, against supplying
53:02 Ukraine, for resuming trade with Russia
53:05 , for the launch of Nord Stream, and so
53:10 But Bulgaria is categorically against it
53:13 , doesn't support EU policy. The Czech
53:15 Republic doesn't support Brussels '
53:17 policies. Slovakia doesn't.
53:20 The Hungarians, as expected, blocked
53:23 points four and five.
53:25 Yes, there's EU accession for Ukraine,
53:27 and he has no intention of doing so.
53:30 While we're sitting here, he unblocked
53:32 them. He blocked them again today. He
53:34 >> already unblocked them today.
53:36 >> Blocked them.
53:37 >> Hungary unblocked them. Merz says
53:39 everyone should unblock them completely
53:42 Well, just before the broadcast, just
53:44 before the
53:45 >> broadcast, look again, he blocked points
53:48 four and five, and Hungary blocked this
53:51 one again.
53:52 No answer. Why? They said they'd review
53:55 the documents.
53:57 This time, they didn't blackmail us with
54:00 , um, national minorities.
54:09 >> Well, what am I getting at?
54:12 >> Hungary still hasn't given the green
54:15 light to open clusters four and five for
54:17 Ukraine and Moldova in the EU accession
54:19 negotiations. Cluster four—green agenda
54:22 —ta-ta-ta-ta.
54:24 At the same time, as Ukrainian Deputy
54:26 Prime Minister for European Integration
54:29 Vsevolod Chentsov explained, Hungary is
54:31 not yet making new demands regarding the
54:34 rights of national minorities.
54:36 According to him, Budapest explains the
54:39 delay by the need for further review of
54:41 documents on the relevant negotiating
54:43 chapters.
54:46 Therefore, there are many countries
54:48 around Ukraine that do not support the
54:50 previous agenda, and sitting it out
54:52 won't be possible.
54:55 Let me remind you again that the
54:56 president's rise to power in the United
54:59 States is primarily a consensus of
55:00 domestic elites.
55:04 And Trump initially came up with an
55:06 agenda of ending the conflict,
55:08 distancing Russia from China, and so on
55:10 and so forth.
55:13 Therefore, the world is changing.
55:16 And it must change soon by normalizing
55:19 supply chains.
55:21 Money still rules the world, no matter
55:23 what anyone says.
55:25 Unfortunately, there are no other values
55:27 that would have such an impact on the
55:29 development of the situation as a whole
55:32 Therefore,
55:32 >> this is also money, unfortunately, yes,
55:35 and fortunately for many. So, all or
55:37 nothing? For
55:38 >> whom? World War II made the United
55:40 States a superpower.
55:44 While Eurasia lay in ruins, the United
55:46 States made money, created international
55:49 institutions, made its currency an
55:51 international means of payment, yes,
55:53 they created the International Monetary
55:56 Fund, the Bretton Woods system, and
55:58 climbed that mountain as a result of the
56:00 Cold War, becoming a hegemon.
56:05 But now the situation is fundamentally
56:07 changing.
56:08 It's changing for Europe, it's changing
56:11 for the United States.
56:13 The United States can't solve its
56:15 problems militarily in the Middle East.
56:18 But they couldn't defeat Iran, could
56:20 they? They couldn't.
56:21 They spent a ton of resources, caused a
56:24 ton of destruction, yes, they used up
56:26 the bulk of their anti-missile defenses
56:28 , and they couldn't solve the problem
56:30 militarily.
56:32 They wanted to force China to make
56:34 certain decisions, so they launched an
56:36 economic war against it.
56:39 And they couldn't achieve any results
56:41 either, because China responded by
56:43 banning the supply of certain goods, and
56:45 the United States was forced to abandon
56:47 its agenda.
56:50 The United States can no longer
56:52 influence the world unilaterally—either
56:54 through military or economic might.
56:57 Therefore, the world is changing, and it
56:59 will change.
57:00 The question is how, at what cost.
57:05 But Biden's time, yes, led Trump to
57:07 victory so that this cost would be
57:10 minimal, so that he could complete his
57:12 mission.
57:16 And he articulated it openly, not
57:18 proclaimed it, during his election
57:20 campaign and victory.
57:22 Therefore, friends, he will complete
57:24 this; Europe won't stand in his way, and
57:27 he won't be able to sit it out.
57:30 We are on the threshold of key decisions
57:32 and will witness them.
