Propaganda, lets see it, the call of the socalled opposition to come to the elections in the holding at the same time. Their action was called against putin, but in the end she turned into the president , a record apple both in russia and outside our country. I have heard calls to come to vote in the south, and this. Would be a manifestation of opposition, well, if they called to come to vote, it is, as i say, in such cases similar to those queues abroad, well , i dont know if you can call it some kind of phenomenon, but the fact that it really surprised everyone, because no one expected that so many people would be mobilized for putins electorate outside the russian federation. They called come to the polling station and express your opinion, dont vote, or come to the polling station , vote, putin, well, that s the kind of action that turned out, which in fact, well, legitimized the elections, but the question is not only that they legitimized the elections, actually legitimized putin and this is his , well, lets say, appointment there to be elected emperor, raised the turnout, but in addition, they simply showed that this is not the way at all, well, because the way of peaceful resistance is makes some sense, when you really have elections, and when you have an imitation of them, well, in principle, well, thats it it then happens like this, that is, here too, it seems to me, it is necessary to draw some kind of conclusion, that this is not the way at all, not what the west should go. Well, in principle, i would not go that far, that is, it is necessary to clearly understand, it was the deep mistake of the opposition , they dont want to admit it, i understand them, they dont want to admit it, i think they will do the work on the mistakes, the following things, that is , first, from the first day of the war, the opposition has been controlling one way or another, well, its controlling incorrectly. Word, but will support the opposition approximately 23 of the population of the russian federation. The question here is not about khaderkovsky, kasparov, navalny or anyone else. The problem is that there are 23 of russians who oppose the russian government. At the moment, on the whole, it is difficult to think of a sociological firm more loyal to the russian authorities than in this country. Sociology has been made. 72 of russians said that they believe in the election results, i. E. 28 . Even more than all 23 do not believe in the election results, in this case, what is the task ahead the kremlin and all these hopes of davankovo and so on, what are they doing . Their key task is not to oust khadarkovskii or kasparov from their positions, their task is to split the 23 and split approximately 1015 from them, well, 15 is in general a super success, which will move from antiputin to the category of doubters, actually speaking. And everything that the russian authorities are doing now, and will do in the near future, in relation to the opposition, will be an attempt to work on turning these people into doubters, or ee controlled pseudoliberal or antiwar opposition, that is , it was necessary to look very clearly at the agenda proposed by nadezhdin, and judging by everything , the entire kremlin proee. Supposedly antiwar opposition, the essence of the program, apologizes vadim, very thank you for joining us, we are forced to take a break now, because the 20th ramstein meeting in germany has ended, what was agreed upon by the allies of ukraine, we are watching live, the press Conference Following the results of the meeting, and we say goodbye to you, until tomorrow, to the secretary of defense of the united states, mr. Austin , for their, for his leadership, for being the head of this coalition, thank you to the minister of defense of ukraine, mr. Merov, thank you for the resistance and the efforts that he is showing. Now such meetings are extremely important in order to provide such vital assistance to ukraine. As i already quoted president roosevelt today about how intercoordinated peace is on a global scale, that is why putin now, having unleashed this war, he has drawn us all into its solution, because at stake is global security, and therefore peace, peace. In ukraine, it will reflect peace in the whole world, only recently another, another dose of Russian Troops entered ukraine, we know that it does not stop, but ukraine has been defending its homes for more than two years, defends its territory, thanks to what, what weapons it has at its disposal. During the first days of the fullscale invasion, ukraine managed to restrain russia and prevent them from entering kyiv. And from the beginning to the fullscale invasion , ukraine managed to win back half of the occupied lands. The price you pay russia, it is extremely large. They pay. With the lives of their soldiers, they throw enormous resources into this war. In the beginning, ukraine asked for training for its soldiers, and now, thanks to the support of the coalition , to repel the attack with its own strategies and tactics, which ukraine adopted. We know the price on the battlefield. But what we are doing collectively is hitting russias economy, despite the fact that it will receive aid from iran and north korea. Over the course of two years, we share the gains, share what we have achieved. Russia plans to wait, wait until we get tired, wait until we dont provide ukraine with the help it needs. And we cannot allow this to happen, because, when we generally talk about how much investment in the Defense Sector has grown within the framework of, we are now talking about our partners, our friends and european countries, this helps us strengthen our security, collective support for ukraine will ensure success of ukraine on the battlefield, as well as a peaceful future not only for ukraine, but for the whole world, therefore the united states. Will be continue to support ukraine, we believe in peace, security, and all this requires joint efforts, so we will continue to meet in the ramshtein format, thank you, i look forward to your questions. The first question is from a representative of the washington post. Thank you, mr. Minister, i congratulate you. Please tell me how much. There is a great risk of russia actually breaking through the whole in some place on the front line. Please tell me, given what you said, is there any responsibility on the shoulders of the us to dig, dig into their warehouses and provide ukraine with what it needs. Tell me please. Mr. Brown, how will the us military, in particular, act in order to stabilize the situation in israel, in particular regarding the provision of aid, because we see the Current Situation of the civilian population. What is your opinion . Thank you, congratulations to you, too. Regarding a potential breakthrough on the part of the russian federation, we have seen that yes, russia manages to partially win small military victories. Thats how they put huge resources for the sake of those pieces of land that they seize, mine colleagues, as well as the commander inchief of the military of ukraine, they have this confidence that they will be able to defend their homeland in the future, so they need ammunition, they need. Help in order to continue the defense, and here i just want to add that we lets hope that the next package of aid to ukraine will be adopted soon, of course we understand how important what the us provides to ukraine is, and we see, we believe with optimism that the next steps will be taken, but you know, it all depends on congress, no it is possible to somehow make predictions, because i will continue to work with my colleagues, in particular with my friends in the congress , to make all this possible, you could see today that representatives of 50 countries gathered today, this is the 20th meeting in the remstein format in order to. In fact, to understand how to help ukraine in the future, and you know, i keep hearing the words unity, effort, search, search for specific ways, readiness to increase our efforts. But the support from the us, of course, remains very important thank you for your question. Of course, we do not have a plan and business or other groups in this regard. How and what they are planning, and of course, even if i had, i could not reveal certain details to you, but we continue to work, we have experience on how to ensure concrete peace, but we cannot somehow speak and to dictate to israels leadership how to act. But we can provide their rear and they can rely on us for that, especially when we talk about the prospect of airstrikes and things like that, its very important, again, to protect civilian population and minimize collateral damage, we will continue and plan future operations. Thank you, i have a question for both of you, is there a plan, lets say, to somehow reformat such a meeting in the ramstein format into a meeting within the framework of the nato structure, it would be much easier to work, in my opinion. Thank you, yes, i think that the meeting in this format, it was actually very effective, thats it. 20th meeting, each meeting is attended by a huge number of participants, this is a very Important Forum for participants to express their given aid to ukraine, and that is why ukraine is the focus of attention here, we are looking at the longterm perspective of providing aid to ukraine so that its capabilities do not decrease, instead. Only increase, the countries that agreed to lead such meetings and eventually a coalition of capabilities, they actually understand how important it is to restrain such aggression not only today, but also in the future. Of course, there will be a certain transformation, in the future, i am convinced, but at this stage, this is the format for providing successful, providing what she. I think this format will remain the same for the foreseeable future. Thank you very much minister, please tell me in december you said that if israel does not protect the palestinians in gaza, it will not be a tactical victory, it will be a strategic defeat. Please tell me, there are already so many palestinians in. Please tell me why you think the us can still do peacekeeping. With the help of certain airstrikes and the like. How else can the civilian population be protected . And a question for general brown. Tell me, be it please, or when in what way, in fact, will the Us Armed Forces get out of the conflict in the middle east, and what will it do, how will it affect the actual fight against terrorism . We know where the conflict started, because hamas attacked the israelis, we know the number of victims, and a lot of people were kidnapped, they are still in prison, and that is why we initially stated that israel has the right, fundamental right to selfdefense, and so we will continue to actually help them to. They had what they need to protect their population. We also understand that people in the lane should gas, so that they are safe, we are talking about the civilian population. Of course, when youre dealing with protecting your sovereign territory, when youre supposed to protect your civilians, right . You have to do that and you have to provide corridors for humanitarian transfers to take place. Aid, in this regard, we continue to encourage the leadership of israel to do Everything Possible to increase the delivery of humanitarian aid to the gaza strip itself, accordingly, what can we do, we can actually drop such humanitarian cargo by air, this is one of the possible options. To do this by sea, by sea, and this will precisely help to increase the supply of that food, which is lacking in the gaza strip itself, and therefore we will continue to work in this direction, of course, israel has every right to defend itself, but there is a very great need to protect the civilian population who are in the conflict zone. Thanks for. Questions for me during the week as you have seen, of course, there have been statements regarding the signals that we have received, respectively, if the relevant decisions and plans are approved, because we are constantly developing plans, we are preparing for different scenarios, we are considering whether we will stay or. Not , yes, of course, we aim to defeat terrorism, but in order to do this, there must be a certain effort, and that is why we look at how other countries are acting, in particular in north africa, how they fight terrorism, we have meetings with the heads of these countries, representatives west africa, we are developing such all. Approaches to how we can collaborate on this issue in the future. Thank you, and the last question, please, i will follow up on my colleagues question about the gas strip. The israeli army is conducting a lot of airstrikes, in particular the town of rafah, and we know that there. Watch this week on the collaborators program. How did a doctor from mariupol treat Wounded Ukrainian soldiers . During hostilities, many ophthalmologists left mariupol. But which of the teachers in kherson worked for the russian fsb for years. Each of us, to the extent of our strength and capabilities , brought this union, the union with russia, closer. Greetings, its me. Olena kononenko and this is a Collaborator Program about traitors who, following the call of their hearts and wallets, went to serve the rashi occupiers. A largescale war not only exposes the collaborators, who have been masquerading as decent citizens for years, but also forever frees the Ukrainian Land from putins puppets. All these politicians, doctors, teachers, artists, opinion leaders and Security Forces sat quietly and waited for the moment to betray insidiously and painfully. Them they promised positions, status and money, but. But as a result, blind rashka fanatics themselves became a target, and those who shouted the loudest glory to the liberators, are now buried the deepest. This issue is a reminder and. Warning to all collaborators about what fate awaits them. A doctor from mariupol received a life sentence for handing over seven wounded servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine to the russians. We are talking about chekhova valentina pavlivna , born in 1966, a native of the village of rose luxemburg, now oleksandrivske, donetsk region. In peaceful life, she was an ophthalmologist in mariupol. She graduated from Donetsk Medical University named after gorky, from 1991 she started to build a career as a doctor, worked as a doctor of the first category in the mariupol City Hospital number 2 and in the regional intensive care hospital. When mariupol was under the russian flag, chekhova, instead of saving people, decided to destroy them. According to Law Enforcement agencies, when the medical institution where the traitor worked came under the control of the enemy army, russian soldiers began to search the hospital to find our Wounded Soldiers, walked around the wards, interrogated doctors and. Nurses, and while some tried with all their might to protect and cover the soldiers, chekhova literally pointed her finger at the ward where the Wounded Soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine were lying. After that, the rashists imprisoned the seriously Wounded Ukrainian defenders and took them to the russian torture chamber. An act in the best traditions of the kgb, surrendering ones own to serve and show obedience to the killers. Of course, after that, chekhov was given the position of head of the Ophthalmology Department in an intensive care medical facility. In mariupol during hostilities, many ophthalmologists left mariupol, but our department continued to work and provide Emergency Care to residents of mariupol. In the media field, this traitor does not shine often, but we managed to find a video where she reports on how the hospital works in the occupation and what help she receives from razka. The ministry of health decided to create field teams of surgeons to provide assistance. Recently , a yak came to us. Surgeons, they brought with them 250 lenses, free of charge. By chakhova became suspicious of her actions, then the case went to court. And so on december 11 , 2023, the october District Court in dnipro sentenced chekhova to life imprisonment with confiscation of property. So far, its not working, but we really hope that when mariupol is liberated, this traitor will spend the next years of her life behind bars. By the 22nd year, we received a generation of children and teachers, by the way, who did not remember their true history, especially children who mostly do not read, especially russian classics. Precious to you and a loyal cadre of the russian system, which for decades planted a red star culture in ukrainian educational institutions and collected information for the fsb. This is kuzmi. Tetyana oleksandrivna was born in 1968. For most of her life, she worked in educational institutions, from 1988 to 2007 she was a teacher of russian language and literature in kherson. In 2003, she created and headed the Russian National community rusych, which was financed by the russian peace fund. This geoshka was engaged in the promotion of russian values through education. Also with the support of the Russian Peace Foundation kuzmich held the pushkin regional competition. Beautiful and competitive project russian culture in mediaptor. Since 2003, instead of developing childrens love for ukraine and our culture, zaprodenka began to sow russian seeds. Long before the events of 2022, each of us, to the extent of our strength and capabilities, was approaching this union, the union with russia. Love, peace, formation and unity, this is the basis of russian peace. One can only imagine what thoughts kuzmich instilled in children all the time while she was working for russia. To thing, it became known about her work at rashka in 2020, it was then in the kherson region that the counterintelligence of the sbu exposed a network of agents who worked for the fsb of russia. Among the agents , kuzmich was detained on suspicion of treason. According to the sbu, she was recruited by an fsb employee during her stay in. The temporarily occupied territory of crimea in 2015, she was tasked with collecting intelligence on military facilities, as a result, kuzmich was arrested and tried, but after some time she left sizo under a pledge of 5 million hryvnias, but it did not stop the progress of the case. In 2021 , the preliminary hearing in the case of treason against kuzmich began, and within a year she managed to avoid punishment due to the beginning of a fullscale invasion. Our president Vladimir Vladimirovich putin visited the kherson region for the First Time Since the beginning of the svo. This suggests that he personally controls the events that are taking place. Putin is an experienced politician, a professional manager, and he is also a very spiritual person. On the orders of your spiritual person , adults and children are killed every day, cities and villages are destroyed, the genocide of the ukrainian people is being carried out. It is this spiritual person who seeks to destroy everything that has even a particle of ukrainian in it. Of course, such a traitor, who faithfully and truthfully served russia for many years, could not stay. From a position in the fake ministries, so when the kherson region was temporarily occupied, kuzmich was first appointed as the socalled deputy minister of education of the kherson region, and then as the deputy of the fake governor for work with evacuated residents. If you call a spade a spade, the traitor was responsible for it deportation of ukrainian children and residents of the occupied territories to russia. The children were sent to camps, these were Childrens Health camps in crimea. It was yevpatoria and the camps of the krasnodar territory, 1,740 children were sent to yevpatoria alone. After the deoccupation of part of the kherson region, kuzmich, of course , fled with the russian army to the left bank of the dnieper. This made it possible for the sbi to search kuzmichs residence in 2023. Law enforcement officers discovered russian propaganda materials and symbols. Guides for. Retraining and rewards for active support of russia. The sbi investigators also established that kuzmich planted russian education in the region, persecuted teachers who did not side with the enemy, forced parents to send their children to new russian schools, and actively campaigned for a pseudoreferendum. A true fanatic and a faithful executor of the tasks of war criminals. The case of kuzmich under the article collaborative activity is currently in court. We hope she gets a harsh sentence. Putins henchmen must understand, everyone will have to pay for insidious betrayal of ukraine. And this is lilia pulyaeva, gaulaitark of the chaplin community. Each resident must make his choice, it is a choice for the future, the future of our country, russia, the future of our region and the future of our children. She is 42 years old and comes from the village of nadezhdivka, kherson region. Studied at kherson state agrarian university. After that , she worked as a bank teller. Then polyaeva became a Telecommunications Operator at ukrtelecom. Since 2017, she has been a project management specialist, finance and Accounting Department accounting and reporting in the chaplyna settlement council. But with the arrival of the occupiers in the kherson region, pulyaeva saw unprecedented Career Prospects for herself, and in order to get them, she became a traitor. Without thinking for a long time, from 2022 , she worked for a position. First. Helped with the holding of a pseudoreferendum in the kherson region, then there were various smaller tasks from the kremlin, which pulyaeva performed excellently, and already on october 18, 2023, she was finally installed in the chair of the leader of the chaplin community. I, the head of cheplinsky of the municipal district, is grateful to president Vladimir Putin for his high assessment of the work of the municipalities. Like a head without a head, she continuously worships the iconostasis. Makes sure that the tricolor hangs at every step, so that as many local residents as possible get passports with a chicken, and before that he tries to sit firmly in such a coveted chair. We, in turn, offer her to change the chair to a bed. In prison, you can not worry that she will be removed, because gratipulayev will obviously be in prison for a long time. It was the Program Collaborators and i, olena kononenko. If you have information about the kremlin sellers, write to us. To this email address, or simply on facebook, together we will send all the traitors on the trail of the russian ship. See you in a week on espresso. According to the governments calculations, how many shells will be enough for ukraine, what important equipment of muscovites was destroyed by the russian rebels and the sale of drugs from prison, how the criminal scheme was eliminated in khmelnytskyi. Good evening, the newsroom is talking about the most important thing for today. Anna eva melnyk is with you
