Transcript
00:00And of course,
00:01we paid attention to the revelations of the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Budanov.
00:07On July 13,
00:09in an interview,
00:10with the Ukrainian publication NV,
00:12he admitted to futile attempts to assassinate the President of the Russian Federation.
00:18There is no doubt,
00:19that such crimes were planned,
00:22and financed,
00:23with the direct participation of the Anglo-Saxon masters of the Kyiv regime.
00:28Money flows in colossal streams.
00:32And not a single atrocity,
00:35not a single terrorist act against civilians,
00:39against the civilian population,
00:43against representatives of various branches of government,
00:48has ever during this period been condemned by Western countries in their national capacity,
00:58or collectively,
00:59neither in the public sphere,
01:02nor within the framework of any -or active work on international platforms.
01:10Neither the American,
01:12nor the British,
01:14nor the French,
01:16nor the German representatives ever expressed even a word of any criticism.
01:25Therefore,
01:26in combination,
01:27with massive funding of the Kyiv regime,
01:31and endless flows of weapons,
01:34of course,
01:35these crimes are financed and sponsored by the collective West,
01:41which becomes an accomplice in this criminal activity of the Kyiv regime.
01:48But,
01:48despite this,
01:49and despite the fact,
01:50that this terrible bloody rain of money and weapons is pouring on the Ukrainian government,
01:57which does not stop,
01:59all this does not bring the Zelensky junta the desired result.
02:03According to the same Budanov,
02:05this is a direct quote,
02:06the Armed Forces of Ukraine are experiencing problems,
02:09and they tend to worsen.
02:10This will continue to happen.
02:14That is,
02:14if we speak without any symbolism,
02:17if we speak openly,
02:19then Ukraine is suffering failures one after another on the way to inevitable defeat.
02:26And,
02:26of course,
02:27this worries the West,
02:28which is trying,
02:30with all its might to prevent Russia from winning.
02:33When there are no other ways,
02:37terror is used.
02:38We talk about this regularly.
02:42As we understand,
02:43the Kyiv regime is no stranger to terrorist methods.
02:49They already have enormous experience in carrying out terrorist attacks.
02:55Now a few words about mobilization in Ukraine.
02:59On July 16,
03:00as you know,
03:01the deadline for mandatory updating of military data by those liable for military service,
03:07provided for by the scandalous law on tightening mobilization in Ukraine,
03:11expired.
03:12According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense,
03:17approximately 4 point 7 million people did this.
03:2375 thousand people did this abroad,
03:28that is,
03:29every tenth Ukrainian of mobilization age.
03:34The leaders are the so-called Ukrainian refugees in Germany,
03:37Poland,
03:37the Czech Republic,
03:38and Canada.
03:38Moreover,
03:39as of April alone,
03:40more than 800 thousand Ukrainian citizens were registered in the countries of the European Union.
03:47It is planned to put approximately 300 thousand people under arms.
03:52But,
03:52as you understand,
03:53such indicators are far from being met.
03:57Citizens of Ukraine prefer to hide or even go to prison instead of going to the front.
04:07Well,
04:07I think this is very revealing.
04:09The number of draft dodgers in Ukraine has increased almost 3 times compared to 2022,
04:16and this figure has reached 417 thousand people.
04:20The largest number of draft dodgers were recorded in Western Ukraine,
04:25where the absolute leader is the Lviv region.
04:27There,
04:28in 2023,
04:30and the first half of 2024,
04:3385 thousand 800 cases of men,
04:37who went on the run or were hiding from Ukrainian military commissars were put on the wanted list.
04:45In Lviv,
04:45there is a whole network of telegram channels,
04:49which has approximately 150 thousand subscribers,
04:54that is,
04:54approximately one fifth of the population of this city,
04:59which notify the population in advance about mobilization raids.
05:04Is this,
05:05what is called Ukrainian democracy?
05:11As the West said,
05:14is this the young Ukrainian state,
05:17that is on the right track,
05:20which is sovereign,
05:21independent,
05:22and nationally oriented?
05:25The number of criminal cases initiated in connection,
05:28with desertion,
05:29and unauthorized abandonment of military units is also growing.
05:33In the first half of 2024,
05:36almost 30 thousand such criminal cases were opened in Ukraine.
05:40And in total,
05:42since 2022,
05:45according to law enforcement agencies of Ukraine,
05:5063 thousand such criminal cases have been opened.
05:57According to German media,
05:59in particular Deutsche Welle,
06:02in reality these figures could be three or even four times higher.
06:09Judging by messages on Ukrainian social networks,
06:12in the country they are mobilizing men aged 20-25,
06:17although the law on tightening mobilization adopted in April does not include this provision.
06:24Talk has intensified about lowering the mobilization age in Ukraine to 18 years in 2025.
06:34Every time such plans are discussed,
06:39the Ukrainian authorities deny them.
06:43They always do it,
06:45as it seems to them,
06:46convincingly.
06:47They give their word,
06:50they promise.
06:51Then everything happens the other way around.
06:55There is no doubt,
06:57that it will be the same now,
07:00and the mobilization age in Ukraine will be lowered.
07:05And I think,
07:06that age 18 is not the limit.
07:09Former US permanent representative to NATO Ivo Daalder added fuel to the fire.
07:14On July 14,
07:17in an interview,
07:18with Euronews,
07:19he stated the need for Kiev to use existing human resources,
07:25and recruit citizens aged 18-20 into the troops.
07:31I will repeat who stated this.
07:33This was stated by the representative of the United States to NATO.
07:37That is,
07:37this is the structure that,
07:40strictly speaking,
07:41is engaged in developing aggressive anti-Russian plans,
07:46and,
07:46which uses the Kiev regime for these purposes.
07:51Who else,
07:51but the American permanent representative understands,
07:56knows,
07:57and is obvious,
07:58that Washington will demand from the Kyiv regime to implement its criminal plans.
08:05It is also not surprising,
08:06that the plans announced by the Zelensky regime to strengthen control over the location,
08:11and movement around the country of persons aged 16 to 60 years.
08:16In general,
08:16the amount of money,
08:18that fugitives spent to leave Ukraine has long exceeded the 6 million euros provided by Western countries,
08:27which were allocated for an extra-budgetary project called:
08:32preventing,
08:33and responding to human trafficking amid the humanitarian crisis associated,
08:39with the war in Ukraine;
08:41as it was formulated there.
08:43According to Ukrainian law enforcement agencies,
08:47at least 200 people try to cross the border illegally every day.
08:52As you understand,
08:53it is almost impossible to do this legally.
08:56That is,
08:56this is approximately 6 thousand people per month.
08:59According to various unofficial estimates,
09:03this figure could reach 20 thousand people.
09:08What does this mean?
09:09This speaks of the complete chaos,
09:12that is happening on the territory of Ukraine.
09:15This indicates a lack of law,
09:17legitimacy,
09:18legality in the actions of the authorities.
09:21This speaks of the lack of faith of Ukrainian citizens in the bright future promised by Zelensky,
09:30and the West,
09:31which must be ensured at the expense of the lives of Ukrainian citizens.
09:37This is what's going on there.
09:40It seems to me,
09:41that the West should not be shy.
09:43Let them call,
09:44what is now happening in Ukraine liberal democracy,
09:48so,
09:48that everyone to whom this liberal democracy will later be offered,
09:54promised,
09:54or imposed,
09:55so,
09:55that they all know what really awaits them.
09:59By the way,
10:02in continuation of the topic of mobilization in Ukraine,
10:05there is a very interesting trend.
10:07I would like to say a few words regarding the recruitment of Ukrainians,
10:13with second citizenship.
10:15As I just emphasized,
10:17there is such a shortage of manpower in Ukraine,
10:20that the Ukrainian authorities are going to recruit even those Ukrainians,
10:26who have a second citizenship or residence permit in other countries.
10:32In general,
10:33now I will not even try to build some kind of logical chain in the actions of the Kyiv authorities,
10:40who refused citizens of their country,
10:43citizens of Ukraine,
10:45to have a Russian passport,
10:47despite the fact,
10:48that they were connected by family ties,
10:51and history.
10:52They had to make a choice:
10:54either a Ukrainian passport or Russian citizenship.
10:59What is happening now defies any logical or legal comprehension at all.
11:06Considering,
11:06that the citizens of Ukraine have already mixed everything:
11:10they have passports of Ukraine,
11:11and passports of other countries,
11:13including Western ones.
11:14For some reason this does not raise any questions for anyone.
11:18Well,
11:18you know,
11:19it's such an absolute legal mess.
11:21Well,
11:22let's get back to the Ukrainian mobilization.
11:24Now Kyiv is discussing,
11:25with a number of European countries,
11:28in particular Poland,
11:29the Baltic states,
11:30Scandinavia,
11:31but so far without success,
11:32the idea of luring out Ukrainian citizens,
11:35who are on the territory of the mentioned countries of the European Union.
11:40EU countries are increasingly talking about their desire to help the Kyiv regime not only,
11:45with weapons,
11:45because someone must hold these weapons in their hands,
11:49but also in terms of recruiting personnel.
11:51Although things have not yet come to the point of mass deportations of Ukrainians from Western Europe,
11:57they persistently offer refugees to join various kinds of volunteer formations to participate in hostilities.
12:04Moreover,
12:05you see,
12:05how in the countries of the European Union it is sometimes announced,
12:10that support,
12:11payments,
12:12allowances,
12:13and other benefits for so-called refugees from the territory of Ukraine are ending.
12:19Why is all this being done?
12:20This is done so,
12:21that they return to Ukraine,
12:23and there they will be met by Ukrainian military registration and enlistment offices.
12:29They will immediately send them in transit across the front line to their graves.
12:33On July 11,
12:35Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Soder,
12:38in an interview,
12:39with the Munchner Merkur newspaper,
12:42said,
12:42that the regional authorities could send Ukrainian men of military age to their homeland if a corresponding request was received from Ukraine.
12:54Well,
12:55in my opinion,
12:56only those,
12:57who do not want to face reality can not understand or hear this.
13:05And this is already reality.
13:06It is no secret,
13:07that the German intelligence services have long been actively pushing refugees to join the German volunteer corps as part of the so-called International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine.
13:21They lure them,
13:22with the possibility of simplified acquisition of German citizenship,
13:27but with only one caveat,
13:29only after the end of hostilities,
13:31if someone holds out.
13:33Whoever survives may receive German citizenship.
13:39I can immediately say,
13:41that the Westerners made millions,
13:45tens of millions of such promises.
13:48If you want to know,
13:51how it ends,
13:52look at Afghanistan.
13:55They didnt even allow their citizens,
13:59recruited assistants,
14:01people,
14:02who voluntarily trusted the United States,
14:06who worked for Washington on the territory of Afghanistan,
14:12to board the planes.
14:15Those people clung to the landing gear of the planes,
14:19dying on the fly.
14:21This happens all the time.
14:24But on the other hand,
14:27in order not to repeat mistakes,
14:29you need to know history.
14:31When they cancel history,
14:33then they will have to repeat the mistakes.
14:36The security cooperation agreement signed between Zelensky,
14:39and Warsaw on July 8 should be viewed in the same light.
14:43Among other things,
14:44it says,
14:45in a direct quote,
14:46that citizens of Ukraine temporarily residing in Poland,
14:49and other states can take part in the process of training personnel of the security and defense forces of Ukraine on the territory of Poland.
14:57To do this,
14:57they are going to use the Lithuanian-Polish-Ukrainian brigade stationed in Lublin,
15:02Poland,
15:03which was created in 2014.
15:05On its basis it is planned to form the so-called Ukrainian Legion.
15:09Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski reported on July 11,
15:13that several thousand people had allegedly already submitted applications to join the legion.
15:19Warsaw does not hide the fact,
15:21that they intend to encourage Ukrainian citizens to return home to serve in its Armed Forces.
15:26Well,
15:26once again,
15:27this incentive is not for service in Ukraine,
15:29but this is an incentive for voluntarily giving up life.
15:32It is noteworthy,
15:33that at the beginning of July,
15:35the Polish authorities reduced benefits for Ukrainian refugees,
15:38as I already said,
15:39and tightened the procedure for entering this country.
15:43This liberal democracy lies softly,
15:46but it will be hard to sleep.
15:50The Baltic states are similarly inclined.
15:52On July 15,
15:53the Lithuanian authorities announced,
15:55that they intend,
15:56at the request of Ukraine,
15:57to stop free education for Ukrainian students in their universities.
16:00This is fine?
16:03How do you like the vicissitudes of liberalism?
16:09There is every reason to believe,
16:11that soon the Wests desire to fight to the last Ukrainian will take the form of open deportations of Ukrainian refugees to the front.
