Country. Debunking the cult of personality. On are the west tired of the heroic image of zelensky . With what brand will he remain in history . In an army tshirt, he walked around parliaments begging for more and more money for weapons. A country of triumphant overproduction. Why are there giant cemeteries of electric vehicles and bicycles in china . And why do they build ghost towns in the shadows . Look. Right now, hello, this is the Meeting Place on ntv, the place where everything becomes clear, i am andrey norkin, my colleague Ivan Trushkin, we are working live, as i promised, ivan has come to us, ivan has come to us dear sergeevich, whom we joyfully welcome, joyfully welcome , please stand there, oh, you see, that s right, youre wearing a gift, i ll tell you honestly, it means dont worry, its not an edible gift. I havent yet understood whats there, but its fragrant, youll look in the pause, in general, theres a huge number of greetings from pskov, too, when will it be possible to send the next gifts to ivan sergevich, ill be at the beginning of the next hour, but there will be more, no, im a schedule, a schedule of offerings, i understand, look, it means we had an argument yesterday, well, i dont i know whether you watched Yesterdays Program or not, but in my opinion, there was viktor zhezevich and maxim anatolyich, so they wont let you lie, theres a bit of a dispute, i said that the shelling, these use of the armed forces drones, its already kind of becoming for us, such an ordinary thing, unpleasant, which means that the guests from this side, first of all, alexander kazakov, they began to prove to me that we really are not sleeping, we are striking, it just means that we do not always inform about this, but they are trying to respond spontaneously, this. This heres a conversation, vanya has just the opportunity to answer such skeptics and how can i answer right now, which means the first thing well show you now is footage that we received just a few minutes ago; today a regular meeting of the board of the ministry of defense took place , defense minister Sergei Shaigu spoke there, we will now show you a part of his speech, but i. Would like you to Pay Attention to the following shots, these shots show the commander of the black sea fleet, viktor sokolov. The fact is that since last friday, the ukrainian and then the western press began to spread the fake news that sokolov was wounded , and maybe even died, in a missile attack on the headquarters of the black sea fleet in sevastopol, this was last friday, however, even mr. Kirby, one of the talking heads white house, i couldnt confirm this stuffing, but. All this continued no less, well, now all doubts seem to have been removed, although they will probably still believe, sokolov is alive and well, the provocation failed, so as for the speech of the minister of defense , let us listen to a small fragment from Sergei Shaigus speech, this is the result of the september successes of our armed forces. Over the current month, more than 1,700 people and more than 2,700 weapons have been destroyed. Including seven american infantry fighting vehicles, 77 american m777 artillery systems, 51 selfpropelled artillery units from germany, france, poland, the United States of america , as well as two german leopard tanks, one english tank changer. If ukraine, attacking russian territory with a drone, acts on this principle, i wont eat it, then they bite, then russian strikes always have specific goals and objectives. Thus , ukrainian ports again came under attack from our drones, these are izmail and ryn in the odessa region, through them ukraine also receives western weapons. Hey. These shots were published online at night by residents of the romanian districts bordering ukraine; the footage captured a drone attack on the ports of izmail and reni in the odessa region, which was visible from the neighboring romanian city of isaccea. It is reported that attacks on Port Infrastructure on tuesday night lasted about 2 hours. Here you see the footage. Authorities in the odessa region confirmed that they suffered damage as a result of the attack. As well as 30 trucks, six of which were burned to the ground. We just showed you footage filmed in the romanian city of isaccea, but on the other side of the danube, the ukrainian side, there is the orlovka checkpoint. The kiev authorities announced today that , apparently, it also came under attack, because now it does not accept cargo, all transport flows from there have been redirected other checkpoints. Oh, in the Russian Military telegram channels they report that kiev from. In kiev they began to spread hysteria that this drone attack created a serious threat to the passenger bus, which was located next to this checkpoint, but in the footage that got into the Network Shows that the bus is intact, the bus is unharmed, the words of the passenger are heard, you will hear them now, who of course is unhappy, but she is definitely out of danger. Damn, it would be better if we didnt go, that is, shes not running away anywhere, but ukrainian publications agree that these russian attacks on ports followed after the water corridor for grain carriers, invented by ukraine, became operational. In fact, the goal of our ukrainian publication is that we are trying to show shipowners that it is completely unsafe to use this very corridor, in which security is guaranteed only by ukraine, but not by russia, frenchpress publication. Reports that upon the arrival of the second ship in turkey, along the socalled temporary corridor, which was declared by kiev, the ship under the flag of palao, loaded, it is said to be wheat, left port of chernomorsk with transponders turned off, so as not to appear on Observation Services again. The ukrainian authorities have already announced that in addition to grain, ore will be transported along this temporary corridor, and the exit from the ports after loading and the route will be classified. They just havent yet come up with a mechanism for how to stop these ships, just torpedo them, listen, any examination will establish that a russian torpedo is stuck in this ship, people, foreigners will die, it will be difficult to explain this to the russians, but for now they will rake you for provocations only kiev, remember, in november last year we showed you a certain rocket on polish territory, these are the shots, it fell on some polish collective farm, there were two people there. One tractor, two people died, one tractor was actually destroyed and they desperately tried to tell us that it was a Russian Missile that flew into polish territory , and so the publication rzeczpospolita, citing its sources in the polish investigative authorities, reports that the investigation in warsaw is confident that this missile was ukrainian, it killed two poles, but they refer to some as yet unpublished results of the investigation. According to the publication, the polish investigation concluded that on november 15 in the city of przewodov. A Ukrainian Missile of the s300 complex, a russian made missile, fell out. It has a range of 7590 km, but russian positions, like belarusian training grounds, were too far away at that time. On that day, according to the poles, missiles were launched at the ssu in pairs from the lviv region, one of them allegedly hit some target, and the other continued to fly somewhere. In such a situation, according to investigators, the missile that did not catch the target should have selfdestructed, but for some reason. Did not happen, as the polishlithuanian commonwealth writes, ukraine did not provide poland with any materials for the investigation, the poles are still waiting for an answer to their numerous requests, while official warsaw confirms the conclusions of the investigation, but has not yet publicly spoken about them, andrei vladimovich, if you look at to the malaysian boeing, what the nonukrainians can get to the bottom of, they say that podalyak said, what kind of investigations, all this is obvious, so the poles can wait a long time, in general, of course, a lot of water has flown under the bridge. Since the destruction of this polish tractor, because of course, hardly anyone last november could have imagined that polishukrainian relations would now be so, well, kind of ambiguous, so today i saw the picture in a new edition, but this is the famous photo when dudo came to kiev, came to the rada, they hugged zelensky on the podium, remember, well, you remember this photo, its been done many times published everywhere with different captions, which means that today she looks like this, they are hugging each other, these bubbles are written above their heads, in the bubbles it is written, one is a bitch, and the other is a nit, well, in approximately this language, well, yes, they are approximately they communicate the same way. Well, it must be said that, of course, western partners continue to somehow try, well, not to greatly influence, but at least somehow turn vladimir zelsky towards, well, i dont know, common sense, now this is a big story, of course, we are yesterday they told you, you probably also know what a scandal there was in the Canadian Parliament, thats where we are now, by the way , well come back to it a little later, yes, yes, yes, there is another direction in which they are trying to lead with zelensky that. Consultations are a necessity for Holding Elections on the territory of ukraine. In principle, we already touched on this topic once, then spirinon pavlovich was also in the studio, and he said that zelsky is afraid not of president ial elections, but of regional ones, but now information has accumulated there, again it makes sense to return to this topic. Lets see. According to sources in the washington post, the western establishment has been pushing for president ial elections in ukraine since the summer; they say that refusal could push partners away from supporting terrorists. Zelsky. Back in may, the head of pini cox insisted that ukraine could demonstrate its commitment to european democracy through elections. A little later , washington began to press on kiev. The same demand was made to zelensky by the congressmen who came to see him. The white house is unhappy that in ukraine, the cancellation of the elections is explained by the martial law introduced in the country. We must demand real results from zelsky in exchange for our support. Cannot be carried out in wartime by law, unless the Ukrainian Parliament allows it. Bidens policy boils down to the fact that we will support ukraine to the end and let ukraine itself determine what that end will be. They plan to return crimea. It turns out that we will be doing this for many, many, many years. Zelskys president ial term expires this coming spring, if there was no military man. The elections would have to take place in march next year. However, the leaders of the g7 believe that hostilities will last another 67 years. Therefore, zelsky intends to hold on to his post all this time. However, if the west gives ukraine 135 million dollars, then the terrorist president is ready to hold elections. Republicans call it outright extortion. Zelsky threatens to abandon democratic elections if americans. The people will not provide the 135 million in funding that represents the new level of extortion. The leader of ukraine is ready to sacrifice his countrys credibility as a democracy in an attempt to get even more money from us taxpayers. Zelsky himself came up with another successful argument in favor of canceling the elections; it is impossible to guarantee their holding in the current situation; he blamed the issue of the safety of foreign observers, and the organization of elections for refugees, of whom, according to various estimates, from 5 to 7 Million People around the world, the west itself. Im ready, im ready, absolutely. Security is a complex element Holding Elections. The first difficulty is that the elections be held democratically and transparently. This requires independent observers from around the world, as is always the case in ukraine. Democratic and transparent. It should be the same as it was in the last elections. Millions of ukrainians abroad, how to organize this process, this is also very difficult, regarding infrastructure, there is no answer, but i ll be honest, i still dont have an answer to this question, why is there such pressure, last time , when we, well, this was quite a long time ago, probably not at the very beginning of the season, so our guests explained to me that this was necessary in order to demonstrate some kind of additional legitimacy to the ukrainian regime. Everyone, maxim anatolyevich, well, at least the pressure here is not decreasing, western, once again, why is it so important for them that elections take place, in these conditions, what do they want from him, i dont understand what will change if these elections they wont hold it if it doesnt happen, you see, just like we discussed several programs on last week, in my opinion, they also touched upon yesterday, and zelskys visit to the United States, to canada, how he behaved there , well, lets say, in a peculiar, specific way, how at some moments, well, simply shocking, even for his western friends, it seemed that he was out of touch with reality, this is the height of idiocy, out of nowhere , to start this unnecessary scandal with poland, and to publicly insult his main ally, who is known for his arrogance, from the rostrum. Un security council, this is what is in the Canadian Parliament, with this guy from the galician divisions observed, well, in general, one, two, four evidence that the current ukrainian government, well, in general, i wont say that it is not entirely adequate, it is of course, in some ways convenient, to have an actorpresident in the midst of a war , who plays the president of a warring country, well, there was probably a plus in this, but this plus has already begun to be exhausted, now in the west people are asking themselves the question how long can we look at the world through ukrainian eyes and think about the possibility of stopping this. Change the president ukraine or make him more accommodating or really introduce some forces into parliament that could influence him, because well, you have to be completely blind not to see that the situation inside ukraine is changing, there is less enthusiasm. I was talking with a western expert, theres another moment, here it is, he said that its interesting , such a thought, it also occurred to me, but i didnt expect to hear from him, the ukrainian victory, in their eyes, is what, to liberate crimea, yes, to make a refugee, a territory, without people, because people are not for them are needed to make 2. 5 Million People refugees, but now you are indignant when the same thing happens in karabakh, when a colossal humanitarian tragedy just happens, the standards are not surprising, but if they themselves Pay Attention to this, what is the goal of the ukrainian, so that we, so that we do not go far from yours, bogdanich, that is , presumably, this is the pressure to carry out and carry out. Elections may be due to the fact that in this way, well , legally, the west hopes to replace the president of ukraine or show although i remained, but yours is simply not very good, from my point of view, the west is a very rational force, so carefully monitor the sociological space of ukraine, they will study how popular he is, if zelensky does not find support in ukraine among the population, if he does not he is popular, but if negative things are associated with him, then yes, with the help of elections, he will be replaced, but for us, for russia, this will change little, and if he is, accordingly, popular, if he remains so, well, then he will be reappointed and demonstrated, that we support this legitimacy, democracy, transparency and so on, its the same as everything was in Southern Vietnam , if its bad, you dont agree with maxim anatoyvichs remark that recently zelsky has somehow outdone himself so much that from his performances, everyone knows a little that he is an actor, well, everyone knows that these are performances there and so on, but he is convenient, if here he is, here is poroshenko at the end of his reign, he is also proamerican, he is prowestern, but he was not popular with the population, vasily you actively pumped, because although he agreed, it seemed to me that he did not agree, but it seemed to me that he did not agree, if possible, you showed this polish incident, or rather, that poland has information that these missiles are still were ukrainian, this is the first second, and a year ago the nord streams were blown up, according to information from the western media, they were stopped by ukrainian sailors and so on, that is , ukraine is to blame again, ukraine has been to blame for a year now, now another year for the killed poles and highways, when zelsky was in the usa, an investigation article was published that the missiles in kramatorsk were Ukrainian Missiles , kramatorsk was even earlier, then there was no such big investigation there, it was just when blinken came to us, this was the beginning of the Election Campaign of accusations, accusations, accusations, accusations, the accusations must have a person responsible, all the responsibility in the west is laid on zelensky, that is, the west has already identified the culprit, so he has become toxic, he needs to be removed, he needs to be removed to someone, by the way, what zelensky may not even be a president ial candidate, but yesterday for. His wife , who, well, okay, so be it, yes, but nevertheless, she travels around the world, she is in london, she is in the usa, she understands the smell here are the western ones, those who say the cat smells, whose, absolutely correctly, yes, that is, finally, two internal ukrainian moments, you know, when in the summer of last august, in august of this year , the Central Election Commission decided that elections would be held wrote how much money is needed to hold parliamentary elections. Exactly since august, in in the month of august, new time, the soros newspaper published Public Opinion leaders who will lead ukraine to victory, in the first place of the chair there is already a new popular leader in
