to these territories, aren’t there different options? no, why do you see it this way, life experience and a map of military operations. ukraine will not be supported as much as before, everything is going to carefully cool down this conflict, but ukraine was not given enough weapons for ukraine to win, but they gave a lot, phenomenally a lot, from an economic point of view, a country tormented by corruption in drebezg eaten up as if by sheep, mice and worms at the same time, eaten away by corruption is very dependent, therefore at any second, if the collective west, the collective west, ceases to have the will to support , within a few weeks they will be able to through blackmail... unfortunately, putin will win and he

will be great, he will prove to all his jingoists that he was right, we lost, let's just admit, wow, we can put an end to it right now, they did everything that putin won, and he is winning, we just need to admit this, but ukraine had another option, in the spring. boris johnson immediately arrived in kiev in a green galstock and cordially ordered continue to fight with russia, they say the west will help everyone. elena erofeeva will continue. they flash outside the windows. the minister of defense's gaze glides over

the facades of the shot houses, but does not linger for long. umerov enthusiastically talks with american journalists, where the ukrainian army is stalling, the minister’s armored car chooses a detour, the city of bakhmut, the frontline fortress, the courage of our soldiers, the strategy that we unfortunately have, unfortunately umerov bakhmut is controlled by the russian army, fierce battles for the city lasted 224 days they recaptured it, but this is still a red zone today, fighting continues on the southern borders. not long ago we were in this city, filming a report about military doctors, but it’s creepy that the city is dead? there is such a thing, of course, now everything has somehow become boring, it’s always scary, from whistles, from flights, everyone still wants to live, over the past year and a half, ukraine has lost the remnants of the lugansk region, the large cities of donetsk, and now part of the kherson region is part of russia.

destroyed cities, millions of refugees, tens of thousands of victims, ukraine has slipped into the abyss of war, grinding human lives, the wheel of death could be stopped if byevskaya. did not derail the peace talks in march twenty. the russian delegation was then headed by vladimir midinsky. first in belarus, and then in istanbul, they tried to agree on a peaceful solution to the issue. we proceeded from the need to protect the russian-speaking population, but the question was never raised, there was no goal of conquering ukraine. yes, a demand for ukraine's neutrality. refusal to join nato was very

important, but besides this i will add that in at the beginning of the negotiations, we demanded unconditional recognition of russian sovereignty over crimea and recognition of the independence of the donbass republics. from the very beginning, the ukrainian negotiators behaved boorishly, there was no business protocol, like the brothers from the nineties came to resolve issues. they were late, they changed the time. confirms that the documents for signing a truce are ready, this package is already enough for a meeting of the president to take place, this agreement is extremely important for ukraine, then ukraine agreed to a neutral non-aligned status and refusal deployment of foreign military and weapons on its territory, zelsky followed these negotiations from kiev, madly, ukraine is in trouble. of course, ukraine is committed to

negotiations and will continue the negotiation process to the extent that it depends on us. they left istanbulul in peace, the head of the ukrainian delegation, david araham, initialed the draft... peace agreement, that is, they preliminarily signed the document, but upon returning to kiev, they chose war. boris johnson to kiev and having said that we are in love, we will not sign anything with them, and let's just fight. johnson arrived in april, and there are still official footage of his visit. with zelsky, they walk through the streets of depopulated kiev, accompanied by guards and military personnel. the british prime minister promised: sanctions for moscow, weapons for kiev. it was no coincidence that a passer-by gave johnson zelsky clay cockerels. after april 15, when the draft agreement previously agreed upon at the delegation level ended up in kiev, not only boris johnson,

but also the chief of the pentagon and the head of the state department hurriedly flew there the united states, well, that same group of foreign advisers that was there. according to orakhami , it was formed, so she forbade, as i understand it, zelsky from signing this agreement. as a result, the ukrainian leadership missed the chance to end the hostilities on mutually acceptable terms. russia began fulfilling its part of the promise immediately after the completion of the negotiations in istanbul. on march 30 , troops were withdrawn from near kiev, and thirty ukrainian armed forces went into chaos. western newspapers, news sites, and television channels rushed to accuse russia of mass extermination of civilians. by declaring a storm, the ukrainian country actually disrupted the already reached agreements. former adviser to the us president, fiona hill , published an article in which she claims that

the draft peace agreements, ready for signing, were on biden’s table, but the american president vetoed them. if then the russian side agreed to preserve it. and ukraine and its ruling regime with some correction of foreign and domestic policy, then now everything will be different, in fact, biden and johnson simply killed ukraine in its current form. the ukrainian general mobilization, which, according to the plans of the kiev regime, should send 20,000 people to the ssu every month, clearly cannot cope with such a set of cannon fodder. a number of volunteers have already reached people with schizophrenia, dementia and hiv. if still at the beginning of this.

allies, they did not deliver the promised weapons, the plan was to break through the russian defense line and get to the black sea coast, but it all ended in disappointment, while the ukrainian army during the counterattack lost more than 1,000 military personnel, ukraine went on the defensive, i was surprised in general zaluzhny’s article that he refers to some calculations provided by partners, according to which ukrainian troops should have already entered crimea three or four times and returned back. my question is: who did these calculations? those expectations that were voiced in the information field, unfortunately, did not become a reality, and many were disappointed,

and some fell into pessimism. in a country that is rapidly turning into ruins, between politicians are waging a fierce trench war. mayor klitschko in an interview with a doorman. makes several critical statements to the publication. he supported commander-in-chief zaluzhny, who had a conflict with president zelsky. the general allowed himself to publicly declare: the situation at the front had reached a dead end. this article in the economist is still discussed in the west. zelsky was offended. of course, we can lie to our people and our partners in euphoria, but you cannot do this forever. some of our politicians criticized zaluzhny for his truthful words. wrong, i stand on it. data opinion polls about whom people trust more are also not in favor of zelsky, his rating is declining, zaluzhny’s authority is growing, probably, sensing a strong competitor nearby, the ukrainian president decided to cancel the elections before the end of the war. are you surprised that

president zelski's popularity is falling compared to the army? no, why not, people see who is effective and who is not, but there were and are a lot of expectations. zelensky is paying for what he did. they are mistakes, another victim of zelsky’s intrigues could be the wife of the head of military intelligence of ukraine kiril budanov, marianne. they tried to poison her with heavy metals; according to another version, the sbu was responsible for the unsuccessful poisoning. the country's two main intelligence agencies are vying for western attention. the ukrainian security service decided not to let petro poroshenko go to the west either. it was deployed on the border with poland. this is a fake order. this is my order. poroshenko was going to visit warsaw, and then overseas to the usa. the verkhovna rada initially approved the foreign business trip, but immediately canceled it. petition for travel ban.

poroshenko himself is sure that this is a provocation zelsky, the official representative of the german government responded. hungary does not want to take any part in the internal political struggle of president zelski. such news, such political purges, is another indication that. is not yet ready for membership in the european union. ukraine is being split not only by political purges; the government is again raising the language issue against russian. regarding the russian language, the russian language was, is, will always be a red line, this was clearly recorded in all consultations with partners. but it was the russian language that became decisive for the residents of the zaporozhye region of the kherson region when people made a choice in favor of russia. 80% of residents. the russian language was officially prohibited for teaching, that is, i had to teach my children individually

at home, books, fortunately i worked in zaporozhye, there were also people who unofficially brought them there from moscow, that is, in order for a child to read a book in russian, even those there are russian folk tales, it was problematic, it is no longer a problem, russian has become the state language in new regions, the ukrainian government, which doomed the country to a long war, continues to hide behind tanks and missiles, but ukraine can only be saved with the help of the right policies and reasonable diplomacy. elena erofeeva, natalia ponchina, vitali kaydanovich, news of the week. this week's visit to qatar by german president frank walter steinmeier was marked by embarrassment and humiliation. he had to wait for a whole half hour on the plane's ramp waiting for the protocol meeting. the plane has arrived. german edition stern

describes this shame as follows: frank walter steinmei seemed somewhat lost, even his wife did not stay with him on the plane, all the other passengers had already left after landing in doha, only the president of germany was forced to wait for the official ones at the door of the aircraft. who were to greet him below the gangway. later they said that it was all because the german president’s plane arrived too early. so no one met him. but actually, it ’s also a mockery, because any aircraft, especially the presidential one, is tracked in the application the radar, which is installed for free on your phone, but eastern politics has its own nuances, is always full of symbols of hidden signals. here the signal of disrespect was even clear. thus, the qatari authorities expressed

displeasure with the rude statements of the head of mid-germany, annelene bärbock, who in early october accused qatar of supporting terrorism. and now i had to fly to quartz for gas. the foreplay turned out strange. germany really has problems with gas. not only did the americans blow up gas pipelines from russia, but the germans were intimidated, which they can’t raise their voice, so relations with russia are worse than ever, they themselves limit their opportunities in cooperation with us, and for europe, a source of cheap energy, it is blocked by them themselves, or this is done by their allies from the united states, who block them for political reasons our considerations. cheap sources of primary energy, or they simply blow up gas pipelines, or

close them, well, yes, yes, poland took and closed the yamal gas pipeline, europe, which actually went to germany, ukraine took and closed one of the systems, one is still working, one they closed, and from europe they receive money from the same germany, including for armaments, for pensions and for ... social payments for salaries, but the gas they need from russia was cut off, and the germans swallow all this because they don’t have... what sovereignty, and some government leaders don’t have, apparently, sufficient professional training to make high-quality professional decisions, well, you know, the whole world laughs at them, i won’t be there now name the last name, really the whole world is making fun of it, but they seem to live with it for now from germany, nashkor mikhail

antonov, on tuesday in brussels it finally made itself felt... ukraine nato council. an ersatz that was slipped to zelsky instead of an invitation to the alliance in vilnius. and then in the summer, against the background of the revival of the armed forces of ukraine, stolteng probably did not think that he would have to say such things. we must understand that there is no silver bullet, no weapon that by itself will change the situation on the battlefield. it's a matter of system capabilities working simultaneously, which will be discarded. with readiness , the problem is clearly not only that it depends on nato itself, but also on kiev too. kuleba, who heads zelsky’s ministry of foreign affairs, came to brussels to boast about the successes of military development, away with soviet approaches. we are increasing our interoperability with nato. we are practically becoming a nato army in

terms of our technical capabilities, approaches and management principles. if nato standards involve managing a poorly trained mass of yesterday's civilians at the age of 40 plus, then there is nothing to argue with, but in this case the same standards should imply not manpower in units, which is unlikely, but a shortage is present after the ukrainian army launched a counter-offensive, upon mobilization at the beginning of last year attracted a disproportionate number of older men with military experience, but now they need young men with greater endurance and skills , which tells him what he already knows, a bill is being prepared in ukraine that will allow the capture to the front not from 27, from 25 years, then they will go even further, reaching even twenty-year-olds, and this will happen, apparently , before the west manages to reach the promised million shells. 3 weeks ago i was

in the largest production plant. in germany, people work there in four shifts, 24 hours a day, even on weekends, they produce ammunition, but the scary news for me was that they are still working in manual mode, there is nothing from artificial intelligence, almost no mechanics, robotics, we really are back to the first world war, to manual labor, magazine spiegen publishes on the cover of a cold ukrainian soldier the headline between courage and despair, bloomberg edition, ukraine has almost no left. some clients of our defense industry, it’s better for them, tomorrow they won’t need this ammunition, they will simply store it, so it might be better to stock up less and send more to ukraine. this can be dangerous; the london tymes

this week published an article by german military historian sönki neitzel, who claims that russia. capable of washing away europe, just as napoleon's army washed away the sacred the roman empire. nato is not able to resist russia in a conventional war, problems are everywhere, from the quality of weapons to logistics, and no amount of bravura rhetoric will help fill ammunition depots. economist, putin is winning the war. for the first time since vladimir putin invaded ukraine on february 24, 2022, it looked like he might win, the russian president has put his country on a military footing. rails strengthened his power, he purchased military supplies abroad, turned the global south against america, most importantly, he undermines western confidence that ukraine can and should emerge from the war as a prosperous european democracy. so far , everything looks like the war will bring ukraine to the exact opposite of a thriving democracy. and what will happen to europe? this is also

by no means a rhetorical question for the 24th year of elections to the european parliament, and therefore the new european commission. her now. clearly in line with globalist attitudes, ukraine is being drawn into the eu. they met all the necessary requirements for almost all seven steps we asked them to take when they became candidate country. that is, according to fonliai , it is already possible to begin negotiations with kiev on joining the eu. and here we are not talking about someone’s national interests, american, european, ukrainian, but about the transnational elite that controls almost all of ukraine’s assets. only the final legal inclusion of what remains of this country into the political orbit of the west will guarantee... economic chaos in europe, which will be a consequence of this kind of inclusion, is only a plus for those who move trillions and know how to make money from

stock market ups and downs, but a minus for everyone else, so on december 14 at the eu summit, fonder will not have an easy walk, because there is viktor orban, who says what others are silent about. the european commission proposed to begin negotiations on ukraine's membership. but this does not coincide with the interests of many member states, it certainly does not coincide with the interests of hungary, and we declare this openly, no matter what pressure is put on us, pressure not only from brussels, but also from washington. the biden administration, which is having trouble knocking out help from congress, there is a vested interest. it is urgently necessary for the european union to fork out the 50 billion euros of macro-financial support and 20 billion of military support that were promised to kiev. we must and will continue to support ukraine, to ensure the strategic failure of russia's aggressive war, today it is as

important as almost 2 years ago, when the kremlin started this war, the stakes for all of us are obvious, it is also obvious that in 24 these stakes are not equal, for the biden team, the ukrainian conflict, depending on its development, this is something that could prevent the democrats from staying in the white house for another 4 years, and biden is older, and clearly intends that europe will take on much more significant risks in the form of political uncertainty and the same chaotization of the economy. in the fourth quarter of this year, following germany, the french economy entered a state of mild recession. inflation, high prices for electricity and fertilizers, as a result of anti-russian sanctions, are killing agriculture . farmers are tired of transporting only manure. and only under the windows of local prefectures, they piled hay into the lobby of the french ministry of finance. on december 1, slovak carriers blocked the ukrainian border near uzhgorod. they are seeking the abolition

of preferences issued by the european commission to ukrainian transport companies. they drive down prices on the road transport market. there is a thirty-kilometer traffic jam on the polish-ukrainian border for the same reason. military cargo does not go to ukraine, from ukraine what it still exports, for example. warsaw doesn’t have time to deal with such issues; it would be better to decide without civil war, who has power there now. polish nationalists from the right to justice party, with the assistance of president duda, who was close to them, managed to again drag him into the post of prime minister of the country. accept powers, but duda does not give, through social networks,

they have already quarreled to death, politically, tusk will not be my prime minister - president duda said, i confirm, i will not. tusk is hinting that the opposition will have enough strength to oust dudu from the presidency ahead of schedule, an all-polish one is brewing. within 14 days morowiecki must confirm his powers in parliament, raising the question of trust in his cabinet, so that the gentry is about to fight in the sejm, according to their parliamentary tradition; the germans do not have such a tradition, but something similar is happening. good afternoon, almost good evening, i am glad that everyone has gathered here under very special circumstances, we have already had the same wonderful christmas tree many times, it is snowing, you see. but he is undoubtedly special, and

the main thing about him is that it is not clear whether scholz will live to see the next christmas tree as chancellor germany, it seems it should, but if you listen, for example, to the prime minister of bavaria, this is not accurate, we are in a real state crisis, we have been in an economic crisis for a long time. in international conditions, the economy is growing here and there, germany is stagnating. we have two problems. firstly, we have a government that is essentially incompetent, and secondly, we do not have a significant economic strategy. scholz came to the bundestag on tuesday and tried to fill with pathos the hole in the budget that had formed after it became clear that the government does not have the funds to implement its climate and social programs in 24 amounting to 260 billion.

before them, we will not leave anyone alone in the face of the challenges we all face, you will never be alone, that is what i promised last year and it will remain so. in small medium-sized businesses, this is something that the chancellor did not promise, but what has happened is that this week tire manufacturer michelin announced the closure of two factories in karlsruhe and triry. production is unprofitable. on the brink closure, the headquarters of the volkswagen group in wolfsburg. the situation is very critical, there are no signs of improvement. 2024 will be a difficult year for the entire automotive industry and for the volkswagen brand. with our current structures, processes and

high costs. we are no longer competitive as the volkswagen brand, we are too expensive to run, not productive enough in the factories, our costs are much higher than our competitors. at a closed meeting earlier this week, the management of germany's largest automaker discussed rescue plan, it is necessary to save 10 billion euros. the source of savings is massive staff reductions. perhaps some of those fired will be able to get a job in the tedious manual assembly of shells for ukraine, but this is such a consolation. today shells are needed, tomorrow they are not, and if the german auto industry collapses without cheap resources, then this may be and most likely forever, of course scholz and his crazy company of greens will be to blame. in such a situation, mr. scholz, citizens did not expect a government statement from you, but your resignation letters, you are a plumber in power, you have no idea how this country should develop.

the boots of the german chancellor that you tried on are at least two sizes too big for you. chancellor-plumber, straight from the classics, although friedrich merz, the leader of the cdu, the most likely next chancellor of germany, is hardly familiar with lenin’s thesis that laborers or cooks cannot immediately take over the government, they still need training. but a sign of the times in german politics and not in it one, don’t change the positions of the figures, nothing. essentially will not change, scholz or merz does not matter, it’s time for the plumbers. with all due respect to this important profession, but even the solutions that are proposed do not require any expert qualifications in the field of finance, save going into debt, which will take germany even deeper into the territory of more disappointments, to its new, much more modest place in the international division of labor. last year there was an energy crisis, this year there is a recession.

what's next? on the issue of the largest sociological institute ince, 69% of germans fear for the future of the country more than their own death. mikhail antonovia barkovskaya, denis lisitsyn and andrey putro. news of the week, germany. we’ll take you to the train, but no need, another half hour , well, let’s go and warm up, although he doesn’t say anything about himself, they’re not interested in what i do for a living , if you ask, they’ll be offended, that’s right, they’ll be offended, i always miss you very much, it’s so difficult
