i'm expecting guests this evening, and i'll be very pleased if you join us for a friendly evening, it's an honor and a pleasure for us, listen, who is this? this is sergey yakovlev, from moscow. oh, hello, sergey! you've already spoken to paul. i have questions. what questions? we can meet. tomorrow at your place. i'll bring a ticket. okay? okay.

where is your colleague, he stayed at the hotel, the status of a mismatch, something like that, how i hate all this, it was worth killing the king, so that later we ourselves could play the courtier, not only that, w...

i was just about to introduce you to my brother. amir, this is oleg mesterov, the one i was talking about. nice to meet you. as far as i know, you are a friend of dmitry pirogov. that's right. that's the best recommendation for us. nice to meet you. first of all

, i am his wife. let's go. colonel abdulaziz. let me introduce you to oleg nesterov. his company is participating in the oil for food program. nice to meet you. me too. and this is his lovely wife.

just a minute. excuse me. don't you recognize me? we met at the museum. you still haven't decided, that i am from romania? yes, now i know that you are from russia. are you samir's partner? is that good or bad? good, probably. if iraq starts trading with other countries again, people's lives will become much easier. yes, everything seems to be fine now. don't think that we live in golden cages here and don't notice anything, but it's hard not to notice, you only have to go outside, it's as if you are blaming me, believe me, i am not to blame for what is happening in iraq, and

my parents and i have always advocated peace, but your husband does not look like a pacifist, he is a soldier. you sure this is not a mistake. i just spoke to general almajid, he confirmed that your wife's parents have been arrested. what are they accused of? does it matter? abu bakr is very attached to hamid salma. abdulaziz, i think you should go to the mukhabarat tomorrow morning to find out everything. your wife's parents are private people, no, i'm not going anywhere, you doubt the president's insight, if my wife's parents turned out to be traitors, i'm not going to shield them,

your wife's parents are honest people, if so, they will be released, sorry if i said something wrong, i want to make it up to you, thank you, remember when we met, you were studying the sign?

please, don't draw unnecessary attention, but i want to help, don't, at least tell me what happened, her parents were just arrested, they are suspected of plotting against the president, but her father is a professor of literature, you already managed to find out that, we were just talking. look, you are probably a good person, in your opinion you are not doing anything bad, but in iraq we just don't do that talk to married women, and especially help them, you can only

harm her. there is a big game on the air. the fighting in the kursk direction continues, military clashes in neighboring russian regions continue. and this, of course, is our main topic today. and we begin with alexander kots, a military correspondent for komsomolskaya pravda, who is now in kursk. alexander, thank you very much for finding the time, tell us what. do you think about the current situation, where is it heading? well, the situation continues to remain tense, of course, the reserves that arrived in time, which we transferred here to the kursk region, helped to more or less stabilize the situation, but the problem is that there is no

continuous front yet, there is no line of combat contact, so that we could say, on one side is the enemy, on the other side are we, therefore, unfortunately, there are... such breakthroughs as there were, for example, the day before yesterday, yesterday in the gir'ya region, this is the belovsky region, but the enemy's breakthrough there ended in a complete fiasco were burned, that's according to the latest according to the data that was just reported to me, 19 armored vehicles, the volunteer corps worked there, the guys from the marines worked there, all with combat experience, actually, like in tire, they burned this equipment, but this of course does not make the situation more - calm, yes, we see that in certain sections of the front the enemy is trying... to bypass populated areas, so as not to get involved in urban battles,

as is now happening with the city of sudzha, we see that the enemy is also trying to bypass the korenevo region in order to close it from the flanks north and get on the highway to rylsk. we can see now that he is trying to get on this highway from several directions and is even using psychological operations, such as, for example, publishing a video. with a sign lgov, supposedly the enemy is near him, although the sign is not real, they are trying to cause panic and the flight of our units, but in fact, the first days of such confusion have probably passed, now there is a systematic combat operation and i see that more and more units are joining it, with which i familiar from other areas... here, for example, arrived, units of the volunteer corps, the ministry

of defense are gradually arriving, well, the famous fifteen there are veterans, yes, everyone has heard of them, these are people who know who they are fighting with and are very familiar with them, well , there is the same eightieth elite brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, with it it was completely zeroed out back near chashyar, the seventy-second brigade, which was resting on ovdeevka, was also almost completely destroyed and what... reached our territory, this is already a completely new a team of new recruits who do not have the experience that their predecessors had, what we see now is such a nomadic way of conducting combat operations on the part of the enemy, that is, to bite off here, to bite off there, to make a loop of 15-20 km, to bite here, it seems that there are many of them and that they are everywhere, because of this there are reports of lost settlements, although ... in fact, this is the action of small maneuverable groups, well , like we saw on giriya, yes, which go

in the open, without the cover of the electronic warfare, without cover artillery, simply in the hope of some quick success, and if they reach some settlement, they manage to gain a foothold, they wait for reinforcements, if they encounter some resistance in a small-arms battle, they try not to get involved and roll back. back, while it is obvious that the enemy is probing our border in other directions, literally every day attacks are repelled on the belgorod border, yesterday there was an attempt to pass our border crossing, which also ended in fiasco for the enemy, one max pro vehicle burned there, before that the enemy tried to go to the side in the graevoronsky district. nameless and also lost an armored vehicle and rolled back, so

they are looking for another point where they could press in order to disperse our reserves, while they themselves admit that the goal, one of the goals that they were trying to achieve, was to weaken our pressure in other areas of the line of combat contact throughout the entire svo, they did not achieve, that is, our gradual systematic movement continues on the ocheretinsky bridgehead, the so-called pokrovsk direction, whatever you like to call, that is, to the west of avdeevka, the pressure on toretsk continues, the pressure on chasov yari, volchansk continues, they still haven’t liberated, that is, one of the goals, well, it’s clear that there were political goals, yes, informational goals and there were tactical goals, so far they have not been resolved in other areas of the front, yes, it’s hard for us now, it’s hard to stabilize - this is the enemy’s movement, but gradually, gradually we

are doing this in some areas, we are even starting to push back the enemy, but we still have to do this, i’m afraid not one day and not even one week, because now the ukrainian armed forces are moving into a defensive stage, yes, in some areas, they are already starting to dig in, they are already starting to build defensive lines, here... the front, but here, of course, we are now working with the entire arsenal that we can demonstrate, starting from small aircraft and in the pvi drones, and ending with large aircraft, which are working and attack aircraft with unguided missiles, and the su-34, su-30e, su-35 have also already learned

to throw gliding aerial bombs, we are hitting not only on the... front line, but in the rear, because now the main thing is to disrupt the enemy's logistics, he needs to be supplied, he has penetrated deep into our territory, if he does not have logistics, then accordingly his presence here will be seriously complicated, therefore now the main work is being carried out on the one hand in order to prevent further advancement of the enemy and such attempts are suppressed daily, this is reported in the official reports of the ministry of defense, on the other hand...

what do they call a war correspondent, where he shows this line of defense is in principle quite impressive, another question is the saturation of this line of defense, weapons and personnel, but it is not for me to judge this, i was not there, i know that in certain areas - the breakthrough our border guards and our fighters showed miracles of heroism fought to the last, yes, but unfortunately, when you have no ammunition and ... when you get wounded, you cannot continue the fight, so superior enemy forces are attacking you, it seems to me, they will sort this out later how we will drive the enemy out of our territory, who didn't finish building something there, who didn't organize the defense properly, and so on and so forth, there is simply no time for this now,

as for the senselessness of the enemy's actions, but as a result of these actions for... these are quite vast territories of the russian federation, naturally, the enemy pursued, but we are accustomed to this, first of all, media goals of creating a certain feeling of defenselessness and abandonment among the residents of russia, yes, but i, being here, can assure you that this goal has not been achieved, because that here the local authorities are working to somehow provide the fastest possible assistance to the victims... residents and kursk itself, the region itself, it has mobilized, there are a huge number of enthusiasts here who are helping with humanitarian aid, and are settling residents left without housing, at their own risk, taking people out practically from under the enemy's nose, completely unique operations

are carried out by enthusiasts, volunteers who are taking people out practically from behind enemy lines on boats along the seim river, i talked to such people, there are also those who fought went out, but eh, this shows that after all, people did not waver, and it was not possible to achieve this goal of disappointment in their enemy's state, the tactical goals in part - well, they probably were fulfilled, we really did transfer reserves that could have been brought into battle in other parts of the front, but the future... this is not very clear, because the enemy is stretching its reserves, the enemy is extending its line of combat contact, when everything is not going well for it in other...

i saw a certain officer moaning in the press today they are already emerging, here again in the ukrainian from the pokrovsky direction, who says, while the media effect from the victories in the kursk region is raging, but then we will have a hangover.

of course, it should be assessed not by the beginning, but by its result, i think that the result, the result will be unambiguous, they will not be able to go anywhere further, they will have such a level of losses that will make this operation counterproductive, at least that 's how it seems to me, and this is what i heard from informed military experts in moscow.

i laid out everything that is happening and quite objectively, in my opinion, it makes sense to emphasize the following: well, the reasons for all this, yes, they are discussed in different ways, and we probably all agree in understanding that today on the battlefield, on the main, on the main in any case, ukraine is not just suffering losses, but in fact our victory is being forged there, and ukraine has nothing to oppose this progressive movement, but we should not...

conditionally not far from the countries of the collective west, and by the way, we understand perfectly well that a special military operation, despite its name and the fact that its goals are unchanged, in its form, it is already it, it changes, this is natural, there cannot be any rules, yes, here it is possible, here it is not possible, for i think from the point of view... it pushes this conflict to a speedy resolution, i am not inclined to believe that this is an insignificant event, this is an important event, all the military, well, more military, they say

that this... is treated very seriously, we must draw our own conclusions, but absolutely no that there is no panic, not even caution, because they clearly know what needs to be done now, so i am sure that everything that alexander said can be supported from the point of view that today we have a calm situation, we are normalizing the situation, and that we will squeeze them out, yes, this is obvious, something else is important, we need to plan a clear action after this, understanding that this is, firstly, a can be repeated, b - this is a real reaction, and therefore we ...

mcfaul, exclusively on his own behalf, probably coordinated with kiev with white leading ukrainian bureaucrat, here is michael at home, he has already proposed, let's listen to what he has proposed. it is time for an exchange of territories for the sake of peace, kursk for donbass and crimea. this is what russia is already doing from kiev, from washington, at least unofficially

, the proposal.

this is the most important result, so when we say to return them back, to push them back, to drive them away , where to drive them away, there is no place for them anymore, where to retreat, to retreat, where they should be driven away, this is our entire territory , there is no place for the nazi junta there, this is terrorists who took their population hostage, our population, they continue to behave in exactly this way, everything, legitimacy, the last remnants of ukrainian legitimacy.

huge lands, but how did it end? it is very important to emphasize now that ukraine as a subject in this conflict no longer exists for us, somehow de jure, but de facto. this counter-terrorist operation, which the regime declared in kursk, will not stop at our borders, where borders no longer make any sense, neither with bryansk, nor with kursk, not with belgorod, that's it, it's all a territory of either order or chaos, that's all you're saying, i agree with that, but i have a question that i would like to get an answer to, because when i hear how it should be, and i agree that...

everyone, in ukraine, in fact, everyone is already fighting, and here some part is fighting, some part is in the war, some part is helping voluntarily or by enlisting in the armed forces or how...

domestic, we've already seen german tanks on the kursk bulge, we've already seen them, and we we saw what russia did with these tanks at great cost of blood, and you are right, when russia decides that this war is patriotic, then in general russia turns out to be able to handle a lot of things that our opponents cannot imagine, at least that is how it seems to me,

and this requires some new approaches, there is such a word inventory, so i really want to see an inventory of two things, all of russia's capabilities for this fight, and an inventory of the vulnerabilities of another country, and for me , another country in this case is not only and not so much ukraine, but the whole collective is for it. exactly, we're going to commercials, and after that we'll talk to andronik, well, about the american election campaign, but most importantly about what these people in the white house in congress think they can do, and how far they think they can put pressure on russia, including by military means, we're going to commercials. "we're helping to establish normal

life in iraq, you're helping a military dictator get what he wants, raw materials for biological weapons. dmitry andreevich, we've agreed on the first contract, all the signatures are there, the conditions, you know, all that's left is get approval, england will vote like america, the rest don't care, but they will vote like america, so i need to convince the american one." exactly, i'll try to help you with that now. trader, tomorrow after the program is time. i wanted to discuss how to help you get your contract approved by the un. well-known favorite artists have gathered at our table, who will tell funny stories and curiosities that happened to them. forgive me, i accidentally broke this new vase, don't worry, it's not

that big, it's new, it's only 200 years old, i i invite you to the program, i need to play the uterus, i think, but it will be some piece dedicated to honey, i come, so the next day in ostankino, all the makeup costume, one of the women brings me such a big velvet circle, it has two such things hanging from the sides, and let it be an unusual uterus, these are testicles. she died, how was this cry produced? german, bending over, with a fork in his hands, comes up at that very moment in ... he sticks this fork into her, she does, and it sounds: stop, cut, ruslanova only rubbing, says, i didn't know, that directors work with actors like that, and as zapashny told me, a long time ago , the soviet circus, a tiger grabbed a father, he quietly tells them: and how much, take a stick now and hit him on the head with all his might, and now the tiger, on

saturday on the first, in the united states , the presidential campaign is in full swing, and many of us, including me, did not fully expect that donald trump would lose so quickly, literally shield days after the assassination attempt on him.

now five countries have a significant nuclear arsenal, we cannot allow that because of people, like joe biden did something stupid. and then trump claims, generally with a certain degree of specificity, that if he were president,

it wouldn't have come to this conflict, a military conflict between russia and the united states. again, let's listen. when i left the presidency, they started to form a large army on the border with ukraine, i thought that in the case of putin, and he is a good negotiator, they do this to negotiate, and then biden started saying stupid things, for example, he said that ukraine could join nato, for as long as nato existed, russia said that it would never agree to this, here we go and declare such a thing, because we have a president with a low iq, his was low 30 years ago, now, probably, it is zero, russia.

i will not remind you that it was under him that lethal weapons were sent to ukraine, sanctions were tightened, how seriously should we take what he says now, and what are his chances from your point of view of getting into the white house again? i am more than sure that there will be a very serious fight, of course, the outcome of this fight is still unclear, the outcome can be anything, but i personally think that...

which they do not refuse, so that everyone leaves biden as the leader, because all the others were very leftist, they threatened the future chances of the democratic party, they left, biden, in fact, it was also a coup, because after that he sat in a bunker, did not participate in the election campaign at all, because today another very important thing happened.

channels, social media and everywhere dominate democrats, so what image will they give to candidates, who will they vote for and recommend, they have more opportunities, of course, but what is the peculiarity of today's situation, why do i think that trump has serious opportunities, comala haris really has zero iq, she does not understand anything at all.

stop personally insulting and saying some bad words about haris, this does not help him and this does not work at all. trump should focus on three problems, this is the economy, this is the border, and this is crime. in all these matters, haris understands nothing and can offer nothing. plus, what the republican strategists say, it is necessary to draw harris into conversations with journalists and opponents,

the fact is that she has been a presidential candidate for three weeks, not a single press conference, not a single serious conversation, and because she is simply without a teleprompter, she cannot talk about anything, therefore, if you show american society. only on september 10, everything else, no, at least not yet, but it seems to me that in any case, it would be good for trump

agree anywhere, on any channel, because this is a sure-fire win-win for trump, because he really is in the things he talks about, except when he talks outright nonsense, of course, but when he talks i'm for...

as soon as a very short period of time passes, and of course, in the public space they will demand that kamala harris answer questions, so that she deals with journalists and with her opponents, it will immediately become clear, but because it is not the electorate of the democrats that decides or republicans, independents decide, independents.

or are these mostly words, words for you? well, i would probably say that in my understanding, any representative of the american leadership will pursue an anti-russian policy, but for me it is very important that, well, i cannot say that never, but for a long time the topics that our president, well, not only our president, but also many other sensible politicians of russia talk about have not been heard: that we should listen to these statements about nuclear weapons, about the need for a negotiation process, this is said by the americans, sometimes it costs much more, because we are deprived of this opportunity, there is an information blockade, and for them it is very important to throw in this information by their own citizens, especially those who are applying for such a high post, and

i think that this is not happening in vain, in my understanding, i am not so familiar with the so...

yes, the thing is, look, she just laughs, in principle, if it seems to me, 80 percent of her speeches, her performances, are laughter, just if she, for example, with elon musk imagine that she was talking, i think it was also bet 40, just such a laugh, and with this laughter she really attracts someone, she really hypnotizes, but this is already america, in my opinion, completely

crazy, america that has re-watched marvel, women, i am a minority, this combination of absolutely irrational things, hyper-aggressiveness, plus pity, which causes the minority is called, all this creates an irrational complex, that is, in america there is bipolar disorder now trump - this is american rationality for us, because it is not very rational, for americans it is rational, as it should be, american irrationality

does not compete with each other, we will not fully know these... what is more there, what is more there, but in fact, i think they are now approximately 50/50, because before there were republicans with their programs, is trump a republican? trump is in himself... it's just that american is so pragmatic, completely extreme, hypertrophied, egocentric rationality of a merchant, is kamala harris a democrat, nothing like that, is she really a marvel character or a dc comic, sister night is like that, that is, two characters from comics that are understandable to america are fighting each other, which side will win, that is, the left... we will find out, but i still think that russia will have a much clearer deal with trump,

because these elections may be difficult, may be tough, but within the framework of some rational model, that is, trump still understands what he says and does, and kamala haris - this is about something completely different, she shouldn't understand anything. of course, what will these presidential elections become, danik maffeevich, yes, i wanted to draw attention to one more circumstance, which i consider very important, it really happened that in recent years, right from the morning

, i start watching american television, then reading american newspapers and magazines, and then american television, so there is one very important circumstance, which, in my opinion, is double-edged. and here it is also very important, as it will work, because recently there has been an obvious movement of the american government and this administration, especially, towards authoritarianism, that is , human rights are being violated in a completely monstrous and unceremonious manner, especially the first amendment of the constitution, freedom of speech, that's it...
