the situation there is dire, with ukrainian forces fighting against entrenched russian troops. last week we discussed the situation with the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in brussels, and speaking of additional assistance, of course, we are concerned that our funding period has expired. congress needs to step in and provide funding because, as director young said, at this point there is no magic pot of money that we have hidden in a corner somewhere. and could take money from it for ukraine. it's simple, congress must provide funding, otherwise the united states will not be able to support ukraine. of course, we will motivate others to do this, but these others look at us and say, well, you don’t give money. this sends a message to europeans that if you cannot rely on us, you will have to fill this vacuum. europe helped ukraine well, and there are the same problems with financing kiev as here.

the united states, of course, is the main sponsor of ukraine in terms of providing military support, against this background there appears concerns about whether eu financial assistance could become a major theme ahead of next week's summit in brussels. the white house will try to resolve the funding issue before the christmas break because they don't want it to be interspersed with other funding that needs to be decided on. this is not good for their morale and is also bad for support from their european allies. from the very beginning , it was clear to many that superiority in human resources, with all the advantages, what russia has in front of ukraine, finances and so on, it was clear that ukraine could not win one on one. it was heavily dependent on

american aid, which should be constant, but the us gave ukraine false hope that they would give them as much money as they needed, and this forced them to take a certain position, to sacrifice their people in those battles that the us knew, that they will not win, but america has always said that it has invested in only one thing - in weakening russia, so if ukrainians kill russians on the contrary, this is a success for the usa, but ukraine has other interests, but they were used for these american games. chairman of the house judiciary committee jim jordan said that preparations for biden's impeachment will be completed in the first half of 2024. there are only two witnesses left to question, the case is ready. bank records released by the oversight committee show that biden received money every month from his son, hunter's company. remember this on.

the title avaska, now we will hear it often, the company was financed from china and other foreign sources , including, possibly, russia, took rubles and yuan money from the most terrible enemies, that is, the president of the united states, a foreign agent, when a journalist asked the white house press secretary about this, karine jeanpierre said that she had not seen any report and finished right away. shocked by the criminal exploits of the bayton clan, even the main american killer, former gangster, salvatore gravanu, nicknamed sami the bull, who admitted his participation in nineteen brutal murders, and then became an informant to the fbi, well, that is, he turned over all the members of his bank group. now he has appeared in. fox news,

the bandit said that in the background of joe and hunter, the killer sammy the bull is a real good boy, because biden is not just a murderer, he is a real traitor. gravanana said that his friends received 22 years, and biden deserved the electric table. but what’s also terribly funny in this regard, just organically, is the surrealism that is happening, news of american democracy in florida. the local executive committee of the democratic party announced that in the upcoming primary elections on the ballot only one name will be indicated, but to ensure that they choose, as you already guessed, the name is joe biden, that is , it will be possible to vote only and exclusively for him, and these people condemned the one-party system in the soviet union, and these people say that in russia now...

the state of florida has already elected incumbent president joe biden as the democratic candidate before even a single florida resident has cast a single vote. why? they canceled their democratic primary, so biden will literally be the only democrat on the ballot during the florida primary. one member of the florida democratic party said this: this is not what presidential candidates should do. about the disgusting steps the florida democratic party is taking. and that's what happened, representatives of the florida democratic party contacted three candidates on wednesday, november 29, the day

before the deadline for the party to send the names of candidates who were supposed to appear in electoral, but they were informed that the executive committee of the party. the state has already gathered for the state congress on october 29 and has already submitted its candidacies. the approved list of candidates was submitted to the secretary of state on november 1. the deadline is november 30th, but unbeknownst to anyone other than the florida democratic party members, they had already held their convention on october 29th, they were like, look, we've already voted and biden got all the votes. they canceled their own. biden will be the only one. this is incredibly authoritarian and undemocratic. does it mean the virtual abolition of the florida democratic party primary with voter suppression. i can't talk about this, why? you will have to contact the company. does the white house have any thoughts about,

i can't say, voters. i will not discuss this, you are talking about the elections in 2024. you speak. i'm just not going to talk. about this here, if all the polls say the same thing, then the polls are probably accurate, the democrats are not including anyone other than biden in any process, look at their calendar, they completely abandoned ayova and newmsher, they are doing everything they can to protect joe biden, so they will wrap him in bubble wrap again, this is a president who hid from the american people, it worked, they knew he took bribes and laundered money.

it's mind boggling, i don't understand why the country is just sitting back listening to these things and not taking any action, if you want my opinion. i know so many guys who got twenty to twenty life sentences for crimes like this when it comes to the president and the vice president, it's not even theft, it's treason, and i remember that in my youth, when i was in the army, you were executed for treason, because you betray every man, woman and child, every race, black, white , latinos and asians, there is no more heinous crime. what is it? oversight committee chairman james comer said the committee had found a link between the biden family and money that was fraudulently used for loans from china. comer himself said that the republicans now have enough votes to get the ball rolling.

on the impeachment of the president. the circle is closing in on the biden family. hunter was at the heart of a global influence machine that made millions of dollars. for the biden family, using a very complex system of bank accounts and shell companies. james kommer said that hannter biden paid his father from his bank account, which received money from a chinese company associated with the state. we are talking about the company avasca, here is the redacted bank statement that will be attached to the court agenda. it shows that avasca pc was created so that hanter could make monthly payments of $1,380. did the president accept these payments? why did this even happen? if they allegedly did not have joint affairs, i will be honest with you, i have not seen these documents, so i will redirect

you to my colleagues from the white house counsel's office. bye everyone, i'll see some of you in boston or wednesday, thanks everyone. karina left. well, now turn your attention to the screen, this is the new christmas cover of the british journalist, world turbulence is depicted on it through a snowball fight, putin, who... was drawn in a hat with a red star, has the largest snowballs, putin himself with a grin, zelsky is confused, the ukrainian president, who is depicted with bulging eyes, has already arrived several times, but the kiev actor’s snowballs are the smallest and there are only three left. in the background, president iransi and israeli prime minister netanyahu are fighting over a large snowman, and behind. everyone in a jacket, they will sing in a snowdrift, the same joe biden is standing and scratching

his gray head, well, that is, the hegemon does not seem to understand at all what is happening, he is surprised by the absence of the leader of china, his snowballs, which he uses against taiwan, are apparently still being made. the new chairman of the us joint chiefs of staff, charles brown, said that the us is already following. china is in taiwan, but russia's isolation looks something like this. time magazine included putin on the shortlist of candidates for the title of person of the year. putin, man of the year? ukrainians are crying, they say russia just bought itself nomination, they promise to never read time magazine again, which is not even sold in ukraine. in total, there are nine candidates on the list, among them there is sidzenpin , there is even the king of great britain, but biden

is not on the list this year, instead of him, you won’t believe it, a barbie doll, last year the winner, by the way, was the president of ukraine zelsky, and so on the so-called spirit of ukraine, this year does not even smell of the spirit of ukraine, zelsky is not among the precedents at all, he was not included. the shortlist did not live up to expectations, by the way , they shouldn’t have thought to include zaluzhny, but for zelensky to turn himself into arms, time magazine's shortlist begins with a trio of world leaders, first the kings. the coronation took place in may after a decade of waiting for their turn to the throne, and it is a moment

of change for the british monarchy. i will strive to follow the inspiring example that has been shown to me. russian president vladimir putin continues to wage war in ukraine. now, as we approach the second anniversary of the full-scale invasion. the russian leader became a nominee on the final list, right as he's been in charge for a year and a half now. invading ukraine, causing hatred among much of the world. putin’s role in the world is difficult to overestimate, this is unambiguous, well, everything else, this is not the only magazine that makes such nominations, what is clear is that, of course, putin plays an extraordinary role in the world. putin was named time's person of the year in 2007 and has been named to the times 100 list multiple times, including in 2022. russian president vladimi. served as president or prime minister of russia since 1999 continues to wage war in ukraine. in 2022

, time's person of the year was the president of ukraine vladimir zelsky and the spirit of ukraine. we have to respond to the constantly growing military-political pressure. i have said more than once that we did not start the so-called war in ukraine. on the contrary, we are trying to finish it. china's shinzen ping, who was elected to an unprecedented third term, cementing his role as one of the most influential and controversial leaders, is next on the short list for the twenty-third year's chief newker year, countless headlines over the past week have focused on sam altman after he was fired and quickly reappointed as ceo of open ai, the company behind gpt chat that is at the forefront of the it revolution. the federal reserve was also on the short list. powell faces a difficult task, he needs to overcome record inflation here

in the united states. next are the prosecutors in the cases against trump. for the first time in the history of our country, this team brought charges against a former american president. trump indicted more than 90 charges in four separate cases. the shortlist also affected hollywood and the protesters who paralyzed the entire industry. the actors and screenwriters went on strike for almost the entire year. an agreement was reached on better pay and working conditions, and a new hollywood icon was also on the shortlist. this movie became the highest grossing movie of the year, it earned 1.4. finally, global superstar taylor swift, a grammy award winner, had an incredible year. every year time chooses a person or group of people who, like him, says, for better or worse, were most

influenced by the events of the year. i would choose. biden, i would choose biden, because in my opinion, he pulled his weight, whether we like it or not, he participated in all the global changes that took place in ukraine, israel, palestine, in 2007 they did a very strange thing, they put a mirror on the cover of time magazine with the words you are the person of the year, this is very stupid, that's all they are, what do you think, it will be taylor, you think, i won't be surprised. this issue of the magazine will simply be swept away shelves, guess what, we will soon find out, well , the so-called ceiling on russian oil prices has failed, politico reports, having analyzed the latest report of western officials on the topic of anti-russian sanctions, the culprit is the very same loopholes that

western countries use, and bypassing is especially effective sanctions began to work in the second half of this year, russian oil is now consistently sold at a price of $70, that is, $10 above the vaunted ceiling. another shock, almost half of russian oil cargo is transported on tankers, which belong to or are insured by eu countries. also, the europeans bypass their own sanctions through oil refining by a third. countries, for example, through india, and oil prices could rise even more, and already tomorrow, when putin visits saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. the visit comes after opec countries have already agreed to cut production by almost 2 million barrels per day. oil prices have crept up,

the brand exceeded $84 per barrel. in this regard. europe will again remain at the extreme. today it became known that 70% of all lng produced in the usa goes to the old world. at the beginning of last year , the americans supplied the european union with about 90 million tons of liquefied gas. but appetite comes with eating, so these volumes seem to be not enough for washington. the share of russian natural gas in european imports is now only 15%. that is , three times less than in the twenty-first year, but the state department promised to reduce russian indicators to zero, as stated in congress, russia has the potential to become an exporter of lng number one in the world, but we intend to prevent it, the europeans apparently were left the role of freezing, they, apparently, do not

mind at all. scholz proudly reported that by the thirtieth year germany. 80% of electricity comes from so-called renewable sources. the chancellor himself made the statement at the climate summit in dubai, apparently his head got so hot that olaf forgot that germany and the middle east are in different climatic circumstances. on the very first day of winter, the german publication ndr reports that energy sources in germany have been distributed. something like this, 50% went to coal, 25% to gas, that’s the sun that scholz dreams of in the energy sector. germany amounted to less than a percent. the largest german concerns have already announced that they have begun to produce less, have begun to save both oil and gas, and the entire european union, secretly from the united states, continues to purchase

bohemian russian fuel. a shameful fact for the eu. the block is the largest consumer of liquefied natural gas from russia. it purchased more than half of the supplies in the first 7 months of this year, which is more than $5 billion, which may support the kremlin's military budget. for russia, this means that the european union and the countries that buy mainly russian gas help fill the russian budget and finance the war that russia is waging against ukraine. it is natural gas that has been converted into liquid form to be transported around the world on ships rather than through pipelines. it is 600 times smaller in volume. most of the russian lng

entering europe arrives at ports in belgium, france and spain. but most of the gas remains in europe and is supplied to other countries of the european union. pressure has increased on european port terminals to stop accepting lng imported from russia. and the eu has already imposed sanctions on imports of russian oil and coal, significantly reducing incoming volumes, but experts we spoke to say that until the eu decides to impose sanctions on gas, these types of imports are unlikely to decline. in brussels , the european commission says it wants russia's lng supplies to stop, but says overall supplies of pipeline gas and lng have fallen from 40% before the invasion to 15 now. the eu celebrated. the fact is that as winter approached, he managed to increase gas reserves by 90%, but a significant part of this volume came from russia. since february 22

, the european union has received liquefied natural gas from the united states in the amount of almost 66 billion 700 million euros. according to the european statistical office, without sanctions, american companies would have earned 52 billion 200 million euros less. european union data showed that for 20 months from february 22 to september twenty. in 2018, the european union purchased about 61 billion km of gas, an average of about 3 billion 100 million km per month, for the amount of 3 billion 300 million euros. before the start of the war in ukraine, the united states supplied an average of 1 billion 250 million cubic meters of gas per month worth 725 million euros. the data shows. according to the data, additional costs as a result of sanctions against russia for us gas companies on the european market amounted to 36 billion cubic meters of gas over 20 months, this led to the fact that the eu incurred costs in the amount of 52 billion 200 million euros. moreover, european countries paid twice as much for gas as in the pre-war period.

the fundamental problem uni faced was that russian gas was no longer coming in and we were the counterparty to many long term gas contracts, this meant we knew we had to sell gas forward to consumers, gas prices had risen uniniper were serious. financial problems, then the government intervened, from that moment we announced a new strategy, in the short term changes in strategy means that we must generate about 25-30 g of new gas power, some of which will be ready-made hydrogen, some will be converted into hydrogen or other environmentally friendly gases. i don't think this policy is inherently effective. today's gas price is approximately twice what it was before the crisis. in other words, the offensive against russia on all fronts failed, on the military front, in the war in the literal sense of the word,

failure and not success, on the economic front it also failed, on the ideological front, the americans we also broke our teeth on the russians, so never, perhaps, recently we have not been united as we are now, we are transported to the front in direct communication with our war correspondent nikolai dolgachev. kohl, hello, can you hear me? let's really start with a failed counteroffensive. zelsky said that the armed forces of ukraine were going on the defensive, that fortifications needed to be built from donbass to western ukraine. how much does it cost, is it possible to do it now, when it’s frosty, when it’s cold, if in three lines how to do it... is this even possible or are we just putting an end to zelsky? hello, well, it’s completely impossible, there is nothing, but this is an extremely difficult task, yes, the enemy has

experience in creating fortification lines, various lines of defense, but we must understand that the scale that we have now, the length of the front line and weather conditions, yes from a purely economic point of view, the volumes that are necessary to create... a truly effective and powerful line of defense are not a fact that the enemy can handle; in any case, this is an extreme and an extremely costly and complex task in conditions when our units have now become more active, when very active artillery strikes and missile strikes are being carried out, our aviation is now working extremely actively and assault groups are moving forward in a number of directions, well, we can say that the task is to reach impregnable lines of defense the enemy is impossible, well, let's see, in any case, they are making such attempts

to create experience. structures on the ukrainian side, the current regime exists, we have seen more than once how quite effectively they managed to do this, but in any case it is impossible to do it in a matter of days, especially in those current times we have a problem with communications, war correspondent nikolai dolachov works on the front line, just to continue the conversation, ukrainian... filled with videos of how they are trying to dig in, obviously , they should have started a little earlier, we hope that they didn’t start earlier, that everything is really exactly as it is in these rather nightmarish and at the same time amusing shots, look, they had to go to the turbine, they had to buy in this dugout not a battery, but a hammer drill.

comrade general, let’s not start with the quiet ukrainian military, let’s start with a serious date, today is the 82nd anniversary, the beginning of the counteroffensive near moscow, the counteroffensive that dispelled the myth of the invincibility of hitler’s army, which marked the beginning of everything that ultimately led us to berlin . and other european capitals, by the way, then the red army went on the offensive in advance, prepared defensive lines, a lot has been said about this, a lot has been written, but we must always remember this and be proud, this is what our guys did, in the spring it allowed us to withstand all these famous counter-attacks and

led to the fact that today the operational initiative is completely in the hands of the command of our group, why operational, because well, there are constant active offensive actions in different directions, today, for example, we attacked in three operational directions, in eight tactical ones, if you take it internally, this creates constant pressure on the enemy, this makes it extremely difficult for him to maneuver his forces means, does not allow transfer from one direction to another, well, plus, in other directions there is an active , targeted and powerful fire defeat,

which not only inflicts direct losses on the enemy in personnel, weapons and equipment, but in his moral- psychological state. if we talk about the fact that they want to build something, uh, do something, the famous wall of arseniy yatsenyuk always comes to mind, remember such a character in modern ukrainian history. he told me that he would build a wall on border with russia, so far no one has seen this wall, but money, money was spent, 3 billion hryvnia, exactly like that, so it’s most likely that for the construction of these lines ze, line for, line i don’t know who who else will also spend money there, and

maybe that’s why the american... the shifts thought, thought, well, where are they giving these dollars, it’s clear that they don’t have a magic bag, they have a famous machine , a magic one, on which they they print everything, well, well, well, well, as much as possible, as much as possible there to give everything, here is the last performance of their famous one, this is the commander-in-chief naz, which begins, what do they, in order to successfully counterattack on... forgot 17 million shells and 350-400 billion dollars, what is this about?
