Leans that way — check · 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.
A mixed news digest covering Nvidia, Maduro, Iran, Israel, oil prices, and EU–Ukraine accession. In the headline teaser the host calls the Rubio–Zelensky talks 'nonsense' and says Russia and Putin are ready for peace.
The video says · at 0:31 · quote checked against the transcript
“And am I the only one who thinks this is all nonsense? Russia and Putin are ready for peace.”
And am I the only one who thinks this is all nonsense? Russia and Putin are ready for peace.
The teaser leans toward the agenda of a peace-seeking Russia and pointless Western–Ukrainian talks, but it is a short, possibly sarcastic line, and the rest of the transcript (truncated) is mostly neutral reporting or mockery of Russian and Western events, so the video does not clearly distort facts in the agenda's direction.

0:37 Dr. Komarovsky has been left without a
0:39 vaccine, and he’s old; he needs it. In
0:42 Latvia, a three-year prison sentence for
0:44 anti-Ukrainian videos on TikTok.
0:47 Azov trained Spanish neo-Nazis.
0:53 Hello.
0:54 In the studio is Ilya Komarovsky. We are
0:56 starting the morning news for Wednesday
0:58 , November 11th. Let's start with the
1:01 story of Jensen Huang, head of Nvidia.
1:03 Until now, the center of the scandal was
1:05 his affair with Alice Huang, suspected
1:07 of working for Chinese intelligence.
1:10 Now, The Information publication reveals
1:12 the sum that has drawn the interest of
1:14 company shareholders.
1:16 According to their data, the connection
1:19 to the Nvidia chief helped supply
1:21 Chinese companies with at least $ 7.5
1:23 billion in chips.
1:25 Journalists write that Alice, her
1:27 husband, and her sister built a network
1:29 of companies in China and Singapore.
1:32 Through it, according to the publication
1:34 , approximately 240,000 Nvidia chips
1:35 reached China.
1:38 Among them were those subject to
1:39 American export restrictions.
1:42 Shareholders have filed a class-action
1:44 lawsuit in the Federal Court of
1:45 California. They named both the company
1:48 itself and its CEO as defendants.
1:51 The investors 'complaint is that they
1:53 were not warned about the risks to
1:55 national security and Nvidia's
1:56 reputation.
1:59 Meanwhile, Donald stated that the FBI is
2:02 looking into Rowan Huang’s circumstances
2:04 . One person's amusing love life cost
2:07 billions and turned into a lawsuit from
2:10 his own shareholders. Mind-blowing.
2:13 Now, let's head to an American prison
2:15 where Venezuelan President Nicolás
2:17 Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are
2:19 being held.
2:21 The New York Times spoke with sources
2:23 familiar with their detention conditions
2:25 . According to them, Maduro spends his
2:27 free time reading philosophical and
2:29 religious texts. He meets with prison
2:32 chaplains, including both a Christian
2:34 priest and a rabbi among his
2:36 interlocutors. The newspaper's sources
2:38 say that Maduro has noticeably lost
2:40 weight, attributing this partly to poor
2:42 prison food. More details are being
2:44 reported regarding his wife's condition
2:46 . Flores has lost over 10 kg and several
2:49 teeth. Now she has to take nitroglycerin
2:52 . Meanwhile, Maduro’s lawyers are
2:54 insisting in court that he has immunity
2:56 as a head of state.
2:58 They are pushing to have the case
3:00 dismissed with prejudice, preventing it
3:02 from being refiled.
3:04 In the Middle East, mediators from Qatar
3:06 say that both Washington and Tehran are
3:09 sending them encouraging signals. On
3:11 November 10, the Qatari Foreign Ministry
3:13 announced that Doha will continue to
3:15 seek a diplomatic solution. That same
3:17 day, after meeting with the Qatari Prime
3:19 Minister, Trump announced he was
3:20 delaying new strikes on Iran. According
3:23 to him, five countries neighboring Iran
3:25 requested this: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the
3:28 Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait. This
3:30 pause does not apply to the naval
3:32 blockade in the Strait of Hormuz; it
3:34 remains in effect.
3:36 Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing for a
3:38 completely different decision from Trump
3:40 .
3:41 The Financial Times reports that the
3:43 Israeli PM calls the American president
3:45 every day, begging to restart the war.
3:49 Speaking in the Knesset, an enraged
3:51 Netanyahu claimed that Iran is
3:52 rebuilding its nuclear capabilities. In
3:54 his view, the threat can only be
3:56 permanently eliminated with the fall of
3:58 the Ayatollahs' regime.
4:00 Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister
4:02 Abbas Araghchi calls diplomacy the way
4:04 out of the situation.
4:06 However, he clarifies that negotiations
4:08 must be on Tehran's terms. Trump is
4:10 wound up, but he has no intention of
4:12 firing. And Netanyahu keeps calling
4:14 every day. It’s a question of who
4:15 outlasts whom. Meanwhile, Washington and
4:17 Israel are having a separate
4:19 conversation about $ 4 billion.
4:21 That is how much the US gives Israel
4:23 annually to purchase American weapons.
4:26 Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated in
4:28 Paris that the administration wants to
4:30 end this scheme as soon as possible.
4:32 Trump, according to him, believes Israel
4:35 has enough of its own cash to pay for
4:37 its armaments.
4:39 However, they are not suggesting ending
4:41 military cooperation.
4:43 The parties are discussing a new
4:44 memorandum, and one of its points could
4:46 be joint production.
4:48 Rubio was asked if a transition to new
4:50 terms is possible by 2027.
4:52 He replied.
4:54 The President said that is exactly what
4:55 we will do.
4:57 According to the Jerusalem Post, the
4:59 Israeli military was shocked by these
5:01 words. They had expected the current aid
5:04 to continue until at least the end of
5:06 2028.
5:07 Well, there you go. Israel is too
5:09 wealthy for American money, and its
5:10 military is finding out through the news
5:14 France and Iran have a diplomatic
5:15 dispute that has reached the temperature
5:17 of grocery store refrigerators. Recall
5:19 that in October, someone remotely raised
5:21 the temperature in refrigeration units
5:23 in hundreds of French stores. By early
5:26 November, similar incidents were
5:27 reported in at least 11 other European
5:29 countries. Paris blames Iran for this.
5:33 On November 10, the Iranian Foreign
5:35 Ministry rejected the accusations,
5:37 calling them one-sided and baseless.
5:39 Tehran believes the French authorities
5:41 are trying to shift the blame for their
5:44 own management failures.
5:46 A government that cannot manage the
5:47 temperature of its own refrigerators is
5:49 now trying to blame foreigners, the
5:51 statement said.
5:53 The Iranian Foreign Ministry also has a
5:54 political explanation.
5:56 They claim Paris is using this to
5:58 distract from its policies in the Middle
5:59 East.
6:01 France was advised to spend money on its
6:03 own people, and Iran promised to take
6:05 measures to protect its interests.
6:07 Recall that earlier, French Foreign
6:10 Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian summoned the
6:12 Iranian ambassador and threatened
6:14 EU-level sanctions. A diplomatic dispute
6:17 reduced to who knows how to operate a
6:20 refrigerator. Well done. A third tanker
6:22 carrying Russian diesel has changed
6:24 course while en route to the United
6:25 States. According to Bloomberg, the
6:28 Agios Fanendes is carrying about 40,000
6:30 tons of fuel on board. When it was about
6:33 740 km from New York, the vessel
6:35 deviated from its previous course. Since
6:37 November 9th, it has been moving in a
6:38 zigzag pattern.
6:40 From its current route, one can see
6:41 where it changed direction, but not
6:43 which port it will eventually reach.
6:45 Earlier, two more tankers with Russian
6:47 diesel also strayed from their original
6:49 routes. Send them to Cuba, perhaps; they
6:52 would be more useful there. In the oil
6:54 market, prices have fallen by 12%over
6:56 the week, and the decline continues. The
6:58 main explanation given is the
7:00 negotiations between the US and Iran.
7:01 Market participants allow for the
7:03 possibility that peace can be negotiated
7:04 in the Persian Gulf. For now, this
7:06 prospect outweighs even the notable
7:08 growth in Chinese demand.
7:11 China has stopped selling oil from its
7:12 reserves on the domestic market and has
7:14 increased purchases. In November, demand
7:16 was 1 million barrels per day higher
7:18 than in October. If compared to the
7:20 summer low, the difference is already 3
7:22 million barrels per day.
7:24 More and more Western experts admit that
7:26 if there is peace in the region, oil
7:28 will cost about 80 dollars a barrel.
7:31 For the Russian budget, this is, at
7:32 first glance, bad news. Each barrel sold
7:35 brings in less money, but there is
7:37 another side to the calculation: how
7:39 much the budget itself pays to oil
7:41 companies in damper payments.
7:45 With a lower price, these payments will
7:47 decrease, so according to this
7:48 assessment, at 80 dollars, the budget
7:50 could actually end up with more oil
7:52 revenue than at 100.
7:54 What a complex and deviously tangled
7:56 Russian economy when calculating with
7:58 oil oligarchs. Great, isn't it? Only the
8:01 oligarchs benefit from rising oil prices
8:03 , while the state grows poorer. That's
8:05 just how it is.
8:07 Economists, Russian economists—in the
8:09 world. In the US, the dispute over the
8:11 cost of the war with Iran has reached
8:13 the question of removing the head of the
8:15 Pentagon.
8:16 On November 10, Pete Hegseth held his
8:17 first press conference since May and
8:19 called the attempt to impeach him a
8:21 farce.
8:23 The Secretary is confident that it will
8:25 fail; his response to the accusations
8:26 boils down to this: the order for every
8:28 operation came from the
8:29 commander-in-chief, that is, Donald
8:31 Trump, and, according to Hegseth, was
8:32 legal.
8:34 A day before the press conference,
8:36 Republican Thomas Massie introduced an
8:38 eight-article resolution.
8:40 He accuses the Secretary of abusing his
8:42 power by waging war with Iran.
8:45 Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries
8:46 stated back on November 8 that he firmly
8:48 supports the impeachment.
8:51 He blames Hegseth for a war he considers
8:54 reckless and expensive, noting that it
8:56 has resulted in rising prices for
8:59 Americans. The Pentagon insists that
9:00 they acted within the framework of the
9:02 law. The Secretary is responsible for
9:04 the war, but all orders come from the
9:05 commander-in-chief—take it up with him.
9:09 In Germany, the consequences of
9:10 disruptions related to the war in Iran
9:12 are visible in gas reserves ahead of
9:13 winter. According to the Neue Zürcher
9:16 Zeitung, German gas storage facilities
9:18 began November with historically low
9:20 fill levels.
9:21 If severe frosts strike, the stored gas
9:23 might not be enough to meet total demand
9:27 In extremely low temperatures, a full
9:29 gas supply cannot be guaranteed, warns
9:31 the Energy Storage Initiative.
9:34 As of November 1st, storage facilities
9:37 were only 61%full. This is 9 percentage
9:39 points below the level mandated by a
9:41 German Ministry of Economy decree.
9:44 In other words, they had expected to
9:46 reach this date with a 70%reserve. of
9:49 capacity. How painful this shortfall
9:51 proves to be will largely depend on how
9:54 cold the winter turns out to be. Let’s
9:56 return to the story about refrigerators
9:58 Following disruptions in European
10:00 supermarkets and reports of possible
10:02 hacking of freezer equipment at U.S.
10:04 military bases, the head of the European
10:07 Union Agency for Cybersecurity, Juhan
10:09 Lepassaar, has now spoken about
10:10 household appliances.
10:13 "Today it was refrigerators, tomorrow it
10:15 could be routers, the day after,
10:17 household appliances," said the head of
10:19 ENISA.
10:20 Lepassaar suggests that European
10:22 countries invest more in system
10:23 protection, although he admits that
10:25 cybersecurity is not cheap.
10:27 His agency's report states that due to
10:29 artificial intelligence, there may be
10:31 almost no time left between the
10:33 discovery of a vulnerability and the
10:35 moment it is exploited.
10:37 As for known cases, Paris blames the
10:39 Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard
10:41 Corps for attacks on French stores.
10:43 The Irish accused Russia. In the U.S.,
10:46 the wording is still cautious. The
10:48 Pentagon is investigating malfunctions
10:50 in freezers at grocery stores on
10:51 military bases as a possible hack.
10:54 Yes, but we shall see how it ends.
10:58 The President of the Czech Republic,
11:00 Petr Pavel, has appealed to the
11:01 country's residents to support
11:03 Ukrainians with money.
11:05 He suggested donating as much as you can
11:07 through charitable foundations.
11:10 According to him, the funds are needed
11:12 to help Ukraine survive the winter, then
11:14 spring, summer, autumn, winter, and so
11:16 on in a cycle. A separate question is
11:18 how the aid already allocated is being
11:20 accounted for. It was previously
11:22 reported that the European Union sent $
11:24 408 million for Ukraine's military needs
11:26 but labeled these expenses as
11:28 humanitarian.
11:30 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz wants
11:31 to open all negotiation chapters
11:33 regarding the accession of Ukraine and
11:35 Moldova to the European Union by the end
11:37 of the year. He spoke quite definitively
11:38 about the timeline. "I want us to
11:40 finally be able to open all negotiation
11:43 chapters with Ukraine and Moldova.""I am
11:46 confident that we will manage to do this
11:47 by the end of the year," the Chancellor
11:49 stated. Note that this is specifically
11:51 about opening negotiations on all topics
11:53 . Merz does not promise to complete the
11:55 negotiations themselves or admit both
11:57 countries to the EU by the end of the
11:58 year. Ask Turkey how fast that can be.
12:01 But at what stage is this process
12:03 currently, you might ask?
12:06 And it isn't moving. According to media
12:08 reports, Hungary again did not give the
12:10 green light to open the fourth and fifth
12:11 clusters.
12:12 These are the last two blocks of topics
12:14 that, according to the accession
12:16 procedure for Ukraine and Moldova, the
12:18 EU has not even started discussing yet.
12:20 The fourth is called "Green Agenda and
12:23 Sustainable Connectivity." The fifth is
12:26 "Resources, Agriculture, and Cohesion
12:28 Policy."
12:29 Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister for
12:31 European Integration Vsevolod Chentsov
12:33 explained specifically why Budapest is
12:35 stalling.
12:36 According to him, Hungary is not
12:38 currently putting forward any new
12:39 demands regarding the rights of national
12:41 minorities.
12:42 The Hungarian side says it needs
12:43 additional time to review the documents
12:45 for the corresponding chapters.
12:48 And while it is studying them, the last
12:50 two groups of issues remain unopened.
12:53 No one will blackmail me with the war in
12:56 Ukraine. This is a response to Merz from
12:58 his neighbor in the European Union.
13:00 The Chancellor threatened to block the
13:02 seven-year budget if all Union countries
13:04 do not contribute to aid for Ukraine by
13:06 2027.
13:07 The prime ministers of Slovakia and the
13:09 Czech Republic made it clear at a joint
13:10 press conference that Berlin will not
13:12 decide this issue for them.
13:16 Ukraine.
13:18 Therefore, if the Federal Chancellor
13:19 comes and says that he will block the EU
13:21 budget because he wants all countries to
13:23 sign a 70 billion euro loan agreement
13:25 for Ukraine, I will tell him no.
13:28 Then I will block it too, TASS agency
13:30 quotes Robert Fico as saying. Andrej
13:33 Babiš spoke out in the same vein. We are
13:35 the sovereign Czech Republic, and my
13:37 vote in the European Council is exactly
13:39 the same as Chancellor Merz's vote.
13:42 Therefore, we must discuss behind closed
13:44 doors how things stand.
13:46 I have already refused to guarantee a
13:48 loan for Ukraine. According to the Czech
13:50 prime minister's calculations, since the
13:52 beginning of the war, Ukraine has
13:53 received a total of 520 billion euros
13:55 directly and through bilateral
13:56 agreements.
13:57 Another 100 billion euros for it has
13:59 already been earmarked in the draft EU
14:01 budget. That is precisely why Babiš asks
14:04 , why threaten to block the entire
14:06 document?
14:07 I do not understand why anyone wants to
14:09 block the budget when so much money for
14:11 Ukraine is included in it. The question
14:13 is whether this money should even be in
14:15 the budget at all.
14:16 I think not, it should be allocated in a
14:18 different form.
14:20 We will need this money for the Marshall
14:22 Plan, for the reconstruction of Ukraine
14:24 . So there is no threat of conflict here
14:27 . We will certainly discuss this in
14:29 Dublin, there will be an informal summit
14:31 of EU leaders there, I hope, he added.
14:33 In Hungary, Viktor Orbán called the
14:35 detention of his brother political
14:37 revenge. Facebook, which belongs to Meta
14:40 , and Meta is banned in the Russian
14:42 Federation as extremist. So, on Facebook
14:44 , the former prime minister wrote: I am
14:46 the target, my younger brother is only a
14:48 tool. In Orbán's opinion, this dirty
14:50 game is not limited to his family.
14:54 He believes that the authorities want to
14:55 get rid of a political opponent and
14:57 establish a one-party system in the
14:58 country.
14:59 Áron Orbán was detained in a human
15:02 smuggling case.
15:03 Current Prime Minister Péter Magyar
15:05 noted in Berlin on November 10 that
15:07 three of Orbán's former ministers are
15:08 already in custody, and now the ex-prime
15:10 minister's brother as well. The report
15:12 from the Hungarian anti-corruption
15:14 agency about the case itself mentions
15:16 four detainees. The names of these four
15:18 have not been released by either the
15:20 agency or the police.
15:22 In Germany, Lieutenant General Christian
15:25 Freuding will become the new commander
15:27 of the Bundeswehr. From 2017 to 2019, he
15:29 served as an aide to Ursula von der
15:32 Leyen. He used to carry a box of
15:34 sanitary pads around.
15:35 Following his appointment, his interview
15:37 with The Atlantic in 2025 was brought up
15:40 In it, Freuding spoke about his
15:42 grandfather, who served in the Nazi army
15:44 during WWII and was captured by the
15:46 Allies in 1945.
15:48 Some are using this as a basis to call
15:50 the general a hereditary Nazi. Freuding
15:53 himself was talking about his
15:54 grandfather’s service in that episode, I
15:55 remind you, not his own.
15:57 Strangely enough, Freuding’s former boss
15:59 , the current head of the European
16:01 Commission, was met in Varna, Bulgaria,
16:03 on November 10th.
16:04 When Ursula von der Leyen's motorcade
16:06 entered the Naval Academy, eggs,
16:08 vegetables, and fruit were thrown at the
16:11 cars. Police prevented the protesters
16:13 from getting too close to the vehicles.
16:15 Several dozen people arrived with
16:17 Bulgarian flags and the flags of the
16:19 Revival party. As the motorcade appeared
16:22 , they chanted: "Ursula, you are not
16:23 welcome here." According to the BTA
16:26 agency, the participants explained their
16:28 position by saying they want peace for
16:30 Bulgaria, not war. And although party
16:32 flags were visible in the footage, the
16:34 agency clarifies that the protest was
16:35 organized by locals via social media,
16:37 not party leadership. As the Financial
16:39 Times reports, European representatives
16:42 are ready to discuss arms control with
16:44 Russia again, as well as measures to
16:46 prevent military clashes.
16:48 Among the ideas is a return to familiar
16:50 mechanisms. The newspaper cites the Open
16:53 Skies Treaty as an example. The purpose
16:55 of such agreements is for parties to
16:56 gain the ability to observe each other's
16:58 military facilities. Another example is
17:00 restrictions on the deployment of
17:02 certain types of missiles.
17:04 While Europeans express readiness for
17:06 discussion, there is no information on
17:08 the restoration of any cooperation or a
17:09 concrete agreement.
17:12 Another potential platform for arms
17:14 talks is a meeting between Putin, Trump
17:17 , and Xi Jinping. Secretary of State
17:19 Marco Rubio stated that preparations are
17:21 ongoing and there could be good news on
17:23 this front soon. Washington wants to
17:26 include nuclear deterrence on the agenda
17:27 , among other things. But inviting China
17:30 to the table and getting them to agree
17:32 to restrictions are two very different
17:34 things. Previously, Beijing objected to
17:36 Trump's proposal to join such US-Russia
17:39 negotiations.
17:40 China's nuclear forces, I remind you,
17:42 are about an order of magnitude smaller
17:44 than those of the US or Russia—600
17:46 warheads versus at least 5,000 each, or
17:48 even 6,000.
17:50 According to media reports, Beijing
17:52 intends to expand its arsenal, so
17:54 committing to restrictions right now is
17:56 , well, not in China's interest.
17:58 Now to the meeting in Abu Dhabi. Rubio
18:00 called the talks very productive and
18:02 said a lot of work had been done.
18:05 Volodymyr Zelenskyy also evaluated the
18:07 conversation positively.
18:09 According to him, the delegations
18:10 managed to discuss both immediate
18:12 humanitarian steps and the more complex
18:13 issue of how security guarantees should
18:15 function if the parties reach an
18:16 agreement.
18:18 Here is how he summarized it himself.
18:21 The trilateral format was constructive
18:23 and quite substantive. We managed to
18:25 discuss the necessity and possible
18:27 parameters of humanitarian steps. The
18:29 release of prisoners is a priority.
18:32 We spoke in detail about the content of
18:33 security guarantees for Ukraine and the
18:35 foundation for their long-term
18:36 functioning.
18:37 We need real tools to block any
18:39 repetition of war.
18:41 There was also the topic of the
18:43 necessity for de-escalation steps. Later
18:45 , after speaking with members of the
18:46 Ukrainian delegation, Zelensky described
18:48 the sides 'attitudes this way. It is
18:49 difficult with the Russians.
18:51 They are, to put it mildly, not our best
18:53 friends. He again refused to concede
18:55 territory. The Ukrainian president
18:58 explained his doubts regarding Putin's
18:59 intentions as follows. We cannot trust
19:01 this person. If he only wants the Donbas
19:04 , why did he advance on Kyiv? That is
19:06 800 km away from the region he
19:07 supposedly needs. If we give up
19:09 territory, he will go further. From this
19:12 remark, one can assume that the
19:13 withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the
19:15 Donbas was one of the meeting's topics,
19:17 although Zelensky did not provide the
19:18 exact wording used at the table.
19:21 A source in the delegation, cited by
19:24 Interfax-Ukraine, lists several more
19:26 agenda items. They discussed guarantees
19:29 for Ukraine, Russia, and Europe, the
19:31 postwar reconstruction of Ukraine, and
19:33 how European security will be structured
19:35 in the future.
19:37 One of the main disagreements is when to
19:39 negotiate all of this. Kyiv insisted
19:42 that the parties first cease fire and
19:44 only then discuss a new security system
19:46 in Europe.
19:48 Moscow, conversely, wants to agree on
19:50 the terms for ending the war, including
19:51 guarantees for Russia and Ukraine, even
19:53 before a truce.
19:55 Regarding one of the humanitarian issues
19:57 , judging by Ukrainian reports, they did
19:58 reach a practical agreement after all.
20:01 Ukrainian media, citing sources, report
20:03 that the parties plan to conduct a
20:05 large-scale prisoner exchange in the
20:06 near future. The American special
20:09 representative, speaking to the press
20:10 during the trilateral meeting, explained
20:12 what Washington is asking both sides of
20:14 the table. Most of the Europeans'
20:16 questions concern whether Russia and
20:19 President Putin are truly ready for
20:21 peace.
20:22 From what Steve and I have heard from
20:24 Putin, we can say with reasonable
20:25 confidence: yes, under the right
20:27 conditions.
20:28 The Russians are asking the same
20:29 questions of the Ukrainians and
20:31 Europeans. Are they truly ready for
20:33 peace? Meanwhile, in Ukraine, bail is
20:36 being collected for SBU General Duka.
20:39 Duka is not a general from Star Wars.
20:41 According to the Specialized
20:43 Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, 44
20:45 million of the required 65 million
20:47 hryvnias have already been paid. There
20:49 are 21 million left to reach the full
20:51 amount.
20:52 According to the prosecutor's office,
20:54 the money came from 1,113 contributors.
20:56 The statement also notes the range of
20:58 individual payments: from 110 to 20,000
21:00 hryvnias. There is a discrepancy in
21:02 these figures. Even if each of the 1,113
21:05 people had contributed 20,000 in a
21:07 single payment, it would have totaled
21:10 just over 22 million.
21:12 How many repeat transfers there were is
21:14 not specified in the reports.
21:16 As for the major general himself, he
21:18 explained his arrest by the fact that
21:20 searches were conducted at the NABU
21:21 offices last year.
21:24 In an open letter that he released, his
21:25 lawyer Duka indirectly confirmed
21:27 contacts with the chemical industry, but
21:29 the general insists that they were
21:30 necessary for creating an agent network
21:32 and conducting secret operations against
21:33 Russia.
21:35 Here is his version.
21:37 The motion to select a preventive
21:38 measure for me was prepared by NABU
21:40 detective Roman Nedov, the very same one
21:42 whose place I searched last year.
21:44 This is a clear conflict of interest. I
21:46 was told directly that I would sit in
21:48 jail no less than Magomed Rasulov did,
21:50 their detective who was detained last
21:52 year.
21:53 According to Duka, no evidence of his
21:55 guilt was presented to him.
21:57 He described the presented material as
21:59 emotional video footage in the style of
22:01 "The Matrix," taken out of context from
22:02 conversations, and suggested that
22:04 artificial intelligence might have been
22:06 used in their preparation.
22:07 Another Ukrainian investigation concerns
22:09 money for the protection and restoration
22:11 of the energy sector. According to media
22:13 reports, searches at the home of
22:15 businessman and boxer Vladislav Sokolov
22:17 revealed an expensive penthouse, a
22:19 Rolls-Royce, and a live crocodile.
22:22 Companies linked to Sokolov hold state
22:24 contracts worth hundreds of millions of
22:26 hryvnias. They are checking for possible
22:28 embezzlement during the execution of
22:29 these works. Well, for now, Sokolov's
22:31 guilt in these cases has not been proven
22:34 . Judging by the description of the
22:35 house, the crocodile lived in a
22:37 terrarium. Journalists also listed
22:39 gilding, marble columns, and a swimming
22:41 pool there. In the list of property,
22:43 they even found large portraits of the
22:45 owner himself in gold frames. It is one
22:47 thing to see the furnishings found
22:49 during a search, and another is the
22:50 origin of the money spent on them.
22:52 It is precisely the latter that will
22:54 have to be sorted out. Listen, do you
22:56 remember Yanukovych’s gold loaf, right?
22:59 Or the golden toilet of Medenchuk. It
23:01 seems to me that in Ukraine there is
23:03 some kind of karmic connection with
23:04 golden trinkets.
23:06 Well, apparently, I don't know, all this
23:08 gilding must signify something, right?
23:11 Doctor Evgeny Komarovsky reported that
23:14 he cannot find a flu vaccine in Ukraine
23:16 . For him, this is the first such case
23:18 in 26 years. Moreover, the issue,
23:20 according to him, is not even the price
23:21 . For the first time in 26 years, I
23:23 cannot get vaccinated because of this.
23:25 Meanwhile, all my patients in Spain,
23:27 France, Germany, and Great Britain are
23:29 already vaccinated. This is outrageous.
23:31 I am an elderly person, I need to get
23:33 vaccinated against the flu. I should
23:35 have the right to do this at least with
23:37 my own money, declared Komarovsky.
23:39 I don’t know how it is in Ukraine, but
23:40 in the Russian Federation—I won’t even
23:42 speak for the entire Russian Federation
23:43 , I’ll speak for Saint Petersburg.
23:45 There is an ambulance standing at every
23:47 metro station. You come, show your
23:48 passport, and they give you a free
23:50 vaccination for something.
23:52 Well, for the flu.
23:53 So, I don’t remember how long it will be
23:55 there, maybe until the middle of
23:56 November, or perhaps even longer. The
23:57 Ukrainian State Statistics Service
23:59 published the October data. The
24:00 inflation rate rose from 10%in September
24:02 to 11%in October. The most noticeable
24:05 surge in transport costs occurred after
24:08 fuel and lubricant prices rose by 53.9%
24:11 , driving transport services up by 31%.
24:14 Education prices rose by 19.8%, alcohol
24:16 and tobacco by 17.1%, and
24:18 telecommunication services by 16.1%.
24:21 Food prices increased by an average of
24:23 9.3%, but the average figure doesn't say
24:25 much about specific purchases. Fish rose
24:27 by 23.6%, bread and bakery products by
24:31 21.3%, sunflower oil by 20%, pasta by
24:34 12.9%, and sugar by 12.3%. Earlier, the
24:37 National Bank downgraded its inflation
24:39 forecast for 2026. Instead of 10%, they
24:42 now expect 12.5%. The official exchange
24:44 rate has also changed since the
24:45 beginning of the year. While the dollar
24:46 was previously pegged at 42.40 hryvnias
24:49 by the NBU, it is now 45.40 hryvnias.
24:51 The provided data estimates the
24:53 weakening of the hryvnia at 7.2%. In
24:56 Kryvyi Rih, the metallurgical plant
24:58 ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih is beginning to
25:00 mothball its production. Indeed, it is
25:02 beginning.
25:04 The plant had already stopped after
25:05 missile strikes, and is now being moved
25:06 into a cold shutdown mode.
25:08 Management’s explanation is as follows.
25:11 According to our current assessment,
25:12 safe operation is impossible while the
25:14 war continues.
25:16 After the war ends, when conditions
25:18 allow, we will begin a dialogue with the
25:20 Ukrainian government to reassess if
25:21 operations can be resumed safely and
25:23 sustainably.
25:24 For the city, this is a matter of
25:26 employment for approximately 17,000
25:28 people.
25:29 That is how many people worked at the
25:31 plant, which is why the city council
25:33 previously appealed to Indian
25:34 billionaire Lakshmi Mittal with a
25:36 request not to close the factory.
25:38 According to industry estimates, all
25:40 Ukrainian metallurgical plants have
25:42 already been destroyed by shelling. Yes
25:46 In Latvia, Tatjana Masenko has been
25:48 sentenced to three years in prison.
25:50 The case is related to her posts on
25:52 TikTok. Between April and July 2024, the
25:55 Latvian citizen posted about twenty
25:57 Russian-language videos in which she
25:59 mocked the Ukrainian military.
26:02 The verdict is not limited to a prison
26:04 term alone. Masenko was also assigned
26:06 two years of probation, also known as
26:08 conditional supervision. She has already
26:10 spent 4 months in a pre-trial detention
26:11 center. I don’t understand, what
26:13 business is it of Latvia to care about
26:15 some videos regarding the armed forces
26:17 of another country? They are completely
26:19 out of their minds there, a totally
26:21 deranged government. I’m simply
26:23 speechless. In Poland yesterday,
26:26 November 10, the detention of two
26:28 Ukrainian citizens was reported in Mińsk
26:31 Mazowiecki near Warsaw; one is 24, the
26:33 other 25.
26:34 Minister and coordinator of special
26:36 services Tomasz Siemoniak stated they
26:38 are suspected of espionage and working
26:40 for Russian intelligence. According to
26:42 this version, the tasks were paid for
26:43 with cryptocurrency. The detainees are
26:46 accused of filming military facilities
26:47 and critical infrastructure, as well as
26:49 torching vehicles they attempted to pass
26:51 off as Ukrainian military cars.
26:53 Both were arrested for 3 months. If the
26:55 charges are proven, they face anywhere
26:57 from 10 years to life imprisonment.
26:59 Moscow denies involvement in any hybrid
27:02 operations in Europe.
27:04 In Spain, the newspaper El País has
27:06 reviewed police documents regarding the
27:08 case of the neo-Nazi organization
27:10 National Core.
27:12 According to the newspaper, group
27:13 members traveled to Ukraine in August,
27:15 where they underwent paramilitary
27:16 training and established contacts with
27:18 the 12th Azov Brigade, which is banned
27:20 and designated a terrorist organization
27:22 in Russia. During training, they wore
27:24 body armor and carried AK-47 assault
27:25 rifles. The publication reports that
27:27 upon returning to Spain, the
27:28 participants intended to pass on their
27:30 acquired skills to other members of the
27:32 organization.
27:33 The group, according to the same reports
27:35 , recruited teenagers as young as 14 and
27:37 planned to acquire combat weapons.
27:40 Last week, Spanish police detained 14 of
27:43 its members.
27:45 A story from Britain. The headline
27:47 sounds quite mundane. A civil servant
27:49 was found guilty of fraud. Now, just
27:51 imagine his work schedule. The man held
27:53 five government positions simultaneously
27:56 If you add up the hours he promised to
27:58 work under all his contracts, it comes
28:01 to 183 hours per week.
28:02 A week, I should remind you, only has
28:05 168 hours.
28:07 Even if he didn't sleep at all for this
28:09 career, he would still be short 15 hours
28:11 every week.
28:13 A 56-year-old civil servant with a truly
28:15 English name—evidently, a pure-blooded
28:18 Lord, Kashima Chowdhury—was found guilty
28:20 on nine counts of fraud.
28:23 He held several full-time government
28:25 jobs simultaneously, hiding this fact
28:27 from his employers.
28:28 In total, the man fraudulently obtained
28:32 over £ 284,000 in public funds.
28:36 At the peak, the total duration of his
28:38 work week under these contracts reached
28:40 183 hours, or more than seven full days
28:43 He worked entirely remotely. This
28:45 arrangement was permitted so he could
28:46 care for his sick mother. When applying
28:48 for jobs, the man provided false
28:50 information about his employment status
28:52 and later hid his work at other agencies
28:56 In Paraguay, protesters have returned to
28:58 the streets, even though the president
29:00 was impeached and arrested on November 6
29:03 The cause is the crisis surrounding
29:05 Union Bank.
29:06 It started as a digital bank, attracted
29:08 many low-income clients, managed state
29:10 pensions and accounts for several
29:12 government agencies, then the Central
29:14 Bank froze its accounts due to
29:16 insolvency concerns.
29:18 Unrest in Paraguay continues to this day
29:23 The six countries of the Gulf
29:25 Cooperation Council have approved the
29:27 creation of an advanced unified military
29:30 command headquarters in Kuwait and will
29:32 even send troops there.
29:34 The decision was announced following a
29:36 meeting of defense ministers in Bahrain
29:38 The organization's secretary-general
29:40 condemned Iran's missile and drone
29:41 attacks on countries in the region.
29:43 Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov submitted
29:45 his nomination papers to the Central
29:47 Election Commission on November 10 to
29:49 run for a second term as an independent
29:50 candidate. He became the sixth contender
29:53 . The opportunity to run for a second
29:55 consecutive term was provided by
29:56 constitutional amendments adopted at the
29:58 beginning of his tenure. The elections
30:00 are scheduled for January 27, 2027.
30:03 The Japanese holding company SoftBank
30:05 reported a net loss of approximately $ 7
30:07 billion for the second fiscal quarter,
30:09 following a profit of nearly $ 16
30:11 billion in the previous quarter. The
30:13 reason is high expenditure on building
30:15 data centers in the US and a rise in
30:18 other costs. At the same time, the
30:20 company raised a record $ 56.5 billion
30:22 during the quarter for investments in
30:24 artificial intelligence, only to
30:25 squander it all anyway. Don't be like
30:28 the Japanese; save your money, friends.
