my dear colleagues, this week was quite dramatic for both ukraine and the european union, as another summit of european union leaders took place in brussels on december 14-15. december 14, the day this summit began. and it was not known how it would end, on that day , december 14, fortunately it ended with the opening of negotiations for ukraine to join the european union. at the same time , putin emerged from a four-hour press conference in the information space and tried well, at least to convince the russians that he is still uh-huh, as they say politically, and of course he said the main thing is that the war in ukraine will continue, because he wants denazification,

demilitarization and all those and the goal that was declared, i'm starting.. from february 24, 2022 , it remains in force. olga, i know that you were quite meticulous at times just analyzing what putin said. what do you say about what kind of condition he was in, of course, you can answer this question very simply, say that putin as always lied, and this is his main credo, he always lies, and yet, what putin was during this final. conference, it's a pity that at that time there was no decision on the opening of negotiations between the european union and ukraine, it would be interesting to see his face, of course. well, it's very, you know, so strange , because it looked as if he wanted to appear so very gentle, so directly all-union grandfather, and it really looked like that, his all these conversations about

eggs, about cars, about some such , well, we understand that there was no question, which is not... it would first be moderated and staged and thought out, that this is exactly what is needed , what was so interesting there, well, you know, on the one hand, i absolutely agree with the opinion of our colleague vitaly pornikov, who said that it was all very banal and there was nothing new, i absolutely agree, there was nothing new, it was all old, it was all what had happened 150 times, that is, there were no questions, no one answered as a result... actually received, therefore that the main thing that everyone was interested in was the actual war, how long it would last plans, they drummed it up very quickly at the very beginning, that we will fight until we achieve them as a whole, and these goals are not clear to us and they were such that, in principle, the russian population did not really understand them, denitrification,

demilitarization, well, what nonsense, prigozhin also said that as a result of the war, on the contrary, they achieved... well, in essence, the national raising of national consciousness in ukraine and the terrible militarization of ukraine, which has never happened, but even that is not the question, the question is, that he did not answer the questions that really concern for example, a large class of people who went to fight there, as if for mobilization, did not receive an answer, and when he actually intends to release them from the army, and this is really the question that interests russian society, secondly, no one... heard the exception nevertheless, the answers that there are territorial encroachments in this war, although we also wanted to hear , there were attempts to raise questions about the payment of everything, but the answers came down to the fact that, in general, all the answers came down to the fact that

we are considering all issues and let's decide it's not about anything, it's just me saying it frankly, it 's about nothing, well... in the end, the only thing he answered so-and-so was that he said that there would be no mobilization, instead of mobilization there would be a maximum deployment of the contract army and accordingly, well i.e. buying people who don't have another job or don't want another job, well , look for it somewhere, and well, it looks like that in principle, well , their general military orientation, that's how they act. moreover, as we see and know, and again at this press conference it was heard, that as a result the payments that they they promise those contract workers, well, somehow they don't reach them, for some reason, well, you mentioned this joke about eggs, because before giving the floor to bohdan, after all, i suggest watching putin's answer, well, what about the eggs in

russia, and this was quite such a revealing answer, let's listen. just recently i spoke with the minister of agriculture, i asked him how his eggs are, so they say that everything is fine with them, to which i mean, i noted, absolutely, honestly , this is direct speech, i say , here our citizens somehow have problems, the growth of chicken eggs is 40%, in some places it is more, for chicken meat, you know what happened, the demand increased. it was a relatively cheap protein in general , popular among its citizens . in general, i could turn 10 right away in the morning, here, but - what happened , the demand increased, but

there was no production volume, and the first and second were not opened on time, they were not opened - import, my dear, this is the passage about eggs, well, in principle it requires , probably a question. and what does putin have with eggs? i will say to be honest with you, from my point of view there is absolutely no meaning in what he says , you all know, as in the song, everything all the things and you understand, the question is that putin has long since realized that he is alive right before moment while he is in power, and he will be in power until the moment this war lasts, or until this war ends in a full negotiation. accordingly, in the grand scheme of things, he will become king next year, he tried to raise the stakes there, well , we haven’t heard anything new, and we can’t

i've already heard the big account , that is, it's interesting that eggs are not eggs, honestly, well , it's clear that they are showing off that they are so strong and powerful and nothing can stop them and they have enough resources, of course it's not so, absolutely not so, but nevertheless now they are yes ... nevertheless, now they will press all winter, it is obvious, until the elections themselves, at least as long as there is enough strength. probably the most important signal was given that in fact no one will end the war, by the way , many people did not like it very much rashists at the front, why? because in fact there were very active rumors among them that they were saying that we will now take avdeivka and that putin will run for president and that's it, and there will be negotiations. here, and from what i even saw there. closed, where i am also, they are there a little bit, as if, to speak their language, discouraged, because it turns out

that we will fight for a long time, and for a long time, and in principle it is already obvious that putin has made it clear that they will fight, no less before the american elections, then they hope for trump, who will solve these problems, well, actually , i don't know what else they will solve, the only thing i want to say is that you, and i, are completely serious. and i read the posts of some idiots who say, oh, class, look, what stupidity , he has such a question, such a question, guys, i will reveal a little secret to you, if you do not understand, just like with this woman speaking in putin's language with reduced social responsibility from the first channel, which is how i scored the last name, do you remember when they raised their papers there in march, all kinds of dolbodyatlye shouted: "oh, what a brave woman, look , she told the truth"? less than that, i just want to say that guys, all the questions that

appeared absolutely randomly during this whole bullshit, they were very much, specifically, thoroughly reviewed and approved at the highest level, if you don't understand why, i explain because, first of all, russia is now very actively trying and will continue to ... promote the thesis that they say, look, we are actually a democratic country, we are not afraid, we have putin on a yellow-blue background wait, your zelensky could speak on a white-blue-red background, he could, he couldn't, they don't ask him any questions on a single telethon, you're joking, friends, and it's not funny, it's that they already they are dispersing, that's why, you understand perfectly well, that with this they showed, tried to show, that in russia there is freedom of speech, so that there is something to talk about, so that fools really believe that something is possible there. there is something, there is something like that, this is not so, so to speak , this is the story, friends, by and large, i don't even see what to discuss anymore, the only thing is that what you said about eggs is a very good sign, because i simply will not get tired

of saying that there will be no disintegration of russia due to the awakening of national consciousness, this is all someone else's dog, people live in captivity of some illusions about the soviet union , the soviet union is not russia, and russia, if it does fall apart, will begin to fall apart only through the stomach, only when in russia. there really won't be anything to eat, so it's really good with eggs that's happening, because it's not the first serious crisis that really all russians really feel , this is the rest, but no, no, this is not the first , the first was literally a couple of months ago, when they ran out of gasoline and became terribly expensive, this is already the second crisis, that's why everyone is so excited , because the gasoline crisis has not yet ended, but it has begun. some real, let's

say, scenarios of destabilization of russia, this is really the accumulation of a huge number of economic problems managed by these systems. plus, when putin takes over the throne next year, it will mean that, well, in principle, it was it is clear after the assassination, that by and large this is the main social contract of russia that existed, which said that if putin gave someone his word, he would keep it. now everyone understands that there are no more words, there are no more words. rules, except for the tsar's will, i think, and i think that i am far from the only one who thinks so, that there are many representatives of this elite, they are silent, they will not publicly protest there, but they do not like it very much, because they understand , that they are a little bit not thanks to this, my mother grew a flower, so to speak, and it can become, under certain options , a certain, you know, nourishing layer, so that some kind of protests, not protests, but protests in the elite, which

then somehow can happen. manifested, well, again, this is a question of the fact that this war must become more and more unpopular, because of these economic troubles and so on, but all the same , it is far from being a matter of one year , unfortunately, that is, yes, indeed, if everything will go the way it is going, and even with those sanctions and so on, really already in the 25th year serious problems will still begin in russia, much more serious than now, but still, believe me, they still have something to eat, and putin perfectly understands that russian society is simply more afraid of the unstable 90s. not only to eat, but also to drink, because today there was information that the ministry of health of the russian federation wants to reduce the consumption of alcoholic beverages in russia by 30%, and this is basically, i believe, i believe that they are simply following the path of the soviet union, when gorbachev tried to introduce a dry law. and

people at weddings poured vodka from teapots and from under the table, and because all of these weddings were alcohol-free, it seems to me that russia is basically going the same way, because what is 30% alcohol to take away from russians, well, it's just nonsense their life will simply disappear, well , nothing, they will catch up with the cheerleaders from the other side, they will chase someone from some kind of shit, and well, this is actually this... there will be such a normal, usual life at last, and they are used to some good drinks, well, that’s it not in russian by the way, bohdan mentioned that what useful idiots , some began to disperse the topic that putin is such a good man because he answered there and was not afraid of any questions, and these questions were highlighted on the screens, but one of such useful idiots is the former adviser to the office of the president of ukraine oleksiy

aristovych, who ... trashed putin and literally wrote the following: putin gives a press conference on a yellow-blue background, if zelensky spoke on a white-blue-red background, he would have already been burned. putin calls us brothers and a united people, and we are their pigs and orcs. on the screen, putin has uncomfortable questions from russians. we are more and more immersed in not looking at the mountain, well, this movie is meant. what do you think, in cop. the advantage is with us or with them, but we have the advantage, mr. aristovych, because mr. aristovych, because we call them pigs and orcs because they attacked us, and what they are doing and have been doing in ukraine can only pigs behave like this, and the fact that they simply do not deserve it in any other way, here is the story of aristolych, it basically demonstrates how

a person is. tries frankly to work on russia and to get this carte blanche for the pro-russians, if they still remain, but they will probably be in some form pro-russian forces in ukraine, or those who are nostalgic for russia, or those who are oriented towards the russian language, aristovych is now trying to them, as they say in russia to akuchivat. olya, what do you think, is it not enough already? the sbu just made some kind of gesture towards aristovych, because , well, in fact, a person just takes and drowns for the russian federation and a person who was admitted to some, i don’t know, big or small secrets, but at least there was admitted to the first persons of the state and for a long time was the voice of these first persons on a single telethon, well, in general, the sbu should have taken an interest in...
