With prechristmas carols, begging for money for weapons. And thats how amazing i am, i transferred all your bourgeois, even ukrainian christmas to the western style by my decree 25. However, in washington from kiev they expected much more than victory over the julian calendar. Zelenskys first stop was the small island nation in western africa of cape verde. For now president ial. We sat together on the balcony, if you can call it a meeting. If a person is asked and he is well mannered, he answers. I answered. It was not possible to convince orban. Another version of the flight to argentina zelensky, as the leader of the nazi regime, is trampling his rat trail to latin america. This is what his ideological predecessors did from hitlers germany after world war ii. Tens of thousands of nazis, how many exactly . No one knows, they lived quite calmly to old age in argentina. America, and on the way to a gas station in brazil. The office of the ukrainian president requested a meeting with brazilian president lula dassilba, but he refused, as the request was made at the very last moment. And isnt it disgusting to suddenly call , without preparation, the leader of a huge country with a population of 220 Million People to. The airport to exchange a few words with a man in green, his ardent acting speeches for democracy and freedom were not touched upon; everyone was simply tired of zelensky. Also with his boorish behavior, things came to the point that he directly called those congressmen who vote against allocating 60 billion to ukraine as putins puppets. It is not surprising that zelensky left america empty handed. The scandal became public. The leader of the french patriots party, florian philippot, became aware of the details of this closed meeting. The disaster continues for zelensky. Who leaves the United States emptyhanded, from the tap no longer its over, he even, in despair , insulted american legislators who refuse to give him money, calling them putins puppets. The consolation prize was still a measly 200 million from the press conference, where biden, at the moment when zelensky thanked the United States for its help, blew his nose with all his might, showing complete contempt and indifference. This is according to the coordinator of Strategic Communications at the Us National Security council, john kirby, another 2 weeks, thats exactly how much money we have at disposal. Whether the Offended Congress wanted to fill this ukrainian pot, we will find out in a couple of minutes from the story of our staff correspondent in the usa, Dmitry Melnikov. For now, lets trace the trajectory. Today i ask you one thing do not betray the ukrainian people and their faith in europe, if no one believes in europe, what then . Well, in short, if the ukrainian people do not have faith in europe, then there will be nothing left of the european union. It was a cool mess, but they still didnt give me the money. Christmas in ukraine on a new date, in western style, december 25 will be held without gifts from the west. Ukraine met its president. Sad, in lvov, where the soldiers are buried, whom he himself sent to slaughter, but all these victims could have been avoided back in march twentytwo, at negotiations in istanbul, but zelensky refused negotiations, but now we have the promised reporting from america, our correspondent Dmitry Melnikov reports. A visit of despair. Couldnt change anything, and few people believed that the postgrations would loosen their grip and vote for money for ukraine, but still biden called zelensky to washington to ask congress in person; the democrats also made a last attempt to mollify their opponents. Historians will appreciate this not in two weeks, but in years from now and will say that this was one of the turning points when western civilization took a dramatic downward turn when the United States abandoned its ally. Like this. Zelensky was received with applause with the ukrainian flag in Congress Last time, called the new churchill, defender of democracy, fascinating how the series ukrainian theme excited the americans to failure counteroffensive, the atmosphere on this visit is completely dull. Meetings behind closed doors with senators, members of the lower house and personally with its speaker mike johnson, without comments on the results, without concessions, like a mantra, the republicans repeat, no money for ukraine. Everything requires an account of what kiev is going to spend 60 billion on. I told the white house, starting from the first day i became speaker, that for clarity we need. The formulation of a strategy that will allow ukraine to win, we were not given clear answers, we must understand where the money goes american taxpayers, how it is spent and what the end goal is. Bidens mistake combining the protection of the us southern border with assistance to ukraine ultimately led to a dead end on both issues. The production skills of the successful show business figure zelensky did not help either; neither the show nor the business worked out. K street in the heart of washington dc. The center of american and all world lobbying. It is here that the offices of dozens of Political Consultants are located, who were engaged in promoting the interests of zelenskys team in the United States, and working for them, but this time even the wellestablished lobbying machine failed. Biden did not come out to meet zelensky on the central porch of the white house, as was the last time. The jeep drove up to the Side Entrance away from the Television Cameras and zelensky, pulling up his pants, quickly went inside. Thanks a lot. Mr. President is teaching Biden Zelensky to his chest. In the room with the fireplace, where negotiations are taking place, he looks into the hearth. The fire of hope still burns, and the owner of the living room offers a lot, seasoning it with fantastic stories about military successes. I want to thank our American Partners for their support. Our forces are advancing, we have successfully defeated Russian Forces in the black sea. With his head buried in papers, zelensky reports on how the economy is growing in. Ukraine is fighting corruption, and in order to console the guest with a trident on his jacket, biden still gives him a christmas gift, not what he wanted, but even before , how will journalists leave us, hey, wait a second, i have more to say, i just signed a decree allocating another 200 million from the ministry of defense to ukraine, money will arrive quickly. Bidens announced package includes 200 million rounds of ammunition for the hymars antiradar missile. I quote well done republicans, this is a speech without a cheat sheet from zelensky on fox news, a question that has been haunting many in america lately. There are critics who say that you are trying to consolidate power, in the media headlines there are news about the leadership of the Orthodox Church under house arrest, you took control of the television, canceled the president ial elections next spring. About he speaks of successes at the front here too, although literally on the day of his visit, the American Press published leaks of secret reports, according to which, back in the spring, sources warned washington about the inability of the Ukrainian Armed forces to achieve the results of the counteroffensive. Topsecret intelligence assessments, made public as a result of a leak even then in their own. That gloomy intelligence forecast contrasted sharply with washingtons optimistic statements about the coming counteroffensive. But even the American Press understands that there is time ukraine does not and will not have new strategies, as well as money for weapons to implement them. Ukrainian generals and highranking officials have unrealistic Artillery Ammunition that simply does not exist. The nights are still cold, dark, they need our help, and they need it now, not after the christmas pudding. The congressmen of the lower house are not upset by these admonitions; they nevertheless decide to stay and vote on the funding package next week. Like an evil fate that haunts ukraine, at this moment a new scandal erupts. To the network amateur footage of an aide to the democratic senator from maryland is leaking right in the room where the Senate Hearings are being held. Samesex act with an unknown partner, in an instant the whole drama with the vote on aid to ukraine turns into a farce. Assistant stood joe biden and his family, three congressional committees will continue to sort it out. The president s son, hunter, who was subpoenaed, refused to testify before congressmen and limited himself to a statement for the press. My father had no financial involvement in my business, neither as a practicing lawyer, nor as a member of the board of directors of burisma. I didnt accept it. Involvement in my partnership with a chinese businessman, not in my investments at home or abroad, certainly not at the hanukkah gala, joe biden suddenly announced that his father, who died in 2002, survived the recent attack on israel. After the attack on october 7, my father, my father, returned to the kibbutz to save what was left of his home, the destroyed house in which he was hiding with his wife and daughter. 20 hours, age and corruption weapons, how to pass an intelligence test. I took the physical exam and passed with flying colors. I also took a cognitive ability test. I said, doctor, give me whatever you want, i want to go through it. But in general, speaking about democracy, he quotes putin, referring to the lawsuits with the help of which opponents want to remove him from the upcoming elections. Now even Vladimir Putin says do you know putin . So, quote this is all political, the bidens criminal prosecution of their rival, and this is good for russia, because we are demonstrating the rotten american political system, which now cannot teach anyone about democracy, the whole world is watching bidens political persecution of his opponent, who will kick his ass. Amazing thing. They want biden to remain as president , while trump is now supported by almost half of voters, and the animal horror that grips democrats at the possibility of trump returning to the white house is pushing them to take preventive measures. Before leaving for the holidays, the democrats managed to push through a law that prohibits any president from withdrawing the United States from nato without Senate Approval or an act of congress, the specter of trump, with which opponents fear each other, looms. This is the degree of hatred that is constantly increasing in american society, where political, racial, gender, any kind of disagreements are ready and do result in violence, often massive, where many hundreds of americans die from Police Bullets a year, and they themselves shoot at each other friend, so hatred and lies, all this ultimately leads the United States to a real civil war. Listen, i dont expect everyone to like it, i know very well that with every film i make, i really anger a bunch of people, the film were working on now too. It will hurt a lot of people. Previously, alex garland directed such famous films as the beach, i said, i ll eat hooray its hot annihilation with natalia portman. Okay, we american, okay . Okay, what kind of american are you . You dont. The western forces will reach the white house on july 4th. Oh my god, get in the car, get in the car, indivisible with liberty. Didnt agree, our european correspondent Mikhail Antonov will continue the topic. On thursday evening at the eu summit, Hungarian Prime Minister orban went out for coffee. At this moment, the 26 of his colleagues remaining in the hall decided to begin negotiations on accession to the eu with ukraine. But we continue the dialogue and see how far we can go. Before the start of the summit, president of the European Council michel, head of the European Commission fondelaien, french president macron and chancellor. Last night you asked viktor orban to leave the hall, is this a good way to work in the eu, will we see this more often in the near future . We made this decision by mutual agreement, in accordance with. Unlike the start of negotiations on accession to the eu, 50 billion euros is by no means a symbolic thing, kiev desperately needs the money, otherwise, first find out what the same is. i do not accept any other moods, apathy, even from ukraine. In fact, we are not talking about ukraine and not about war, not about aggression, we are talking about our future, i have no doubts about this. Tusk , now again Prime Minister of poland, on week, president duda, feigning a smile and grimacing at times, was forced to swear him in, the centrists returned to power, in brussels in berlin, which in recent years warsaw has been irritating with various legal tricks and demands. I dont know who your grandparents were, but i know one thing you are a german agent, just a german agent. The leader of the losing justice party, jaroslaw kaczynski, clearly has a personal grudge against tusk, who immediately began a purge of personnel in the piri Intelligence Services near smolensk. How it is known that Yaroslav Kaczynski was not satisfied with the version of a crew error; while in power, he did not spare public money to prove that his brother. Was framed in germany . 17 of the joint eu budget will be directly allocated to ukraine if it gains eu membership, according to a report by a german economic institute. This means that almost all other eu Member States will become clean. Not to say that zelensky spent his time in germany completely in vain; he finally met people who really command his own army, with american generals cavali, williams and aguto. The latter will soon move to ukraine along with his headquarters and will actually take the place of commanderinchief zaluzhny. Zelensky also did not go to kiev empty handed. Germany has generously invested in a second pvtriot complex, a dozen allterrain vehicles and trucks, as well as shells, the quantity of which is due. Germany confirms its intention to finance ukraine in the amount of 8 billion euros. We will really have to give up subsidies to the germans to pay for electricity and gas, because it is known who is to blame. Energy prices have risen everywhere, food prices have risen everywhere, these are the consequences of russian imperialism. Prices have increased almost 10 times, sometimes more. Yes, russia stopped supplying europe with energy; it was the russian president who stopped the supply of cubic meters. Not a crazy game of the greens, not a transfer of energy to spot trading, not sabotage of the arch. Next year, electricity prices in germany will rise again by 1020 percent, most likely by 20, given the quality of scholzs government. The truth is that the government is not located here in berlin. These decisions, or perhaps the lack thereof, are killing the economy. Bosch concern, the largest manufacturer of Household Appliances and automobiles. Components last week announced the reduction of one and a half thousand jobs in germany. Notices of dismissal. These are now christmas gifts. In this regard , news from eurostat was expected. In the Fourth Quarter , the entire eurozone economy entered recession. And its not a fact that in the next one one might even get the impression that scholzs advice orban this is something from personal experience, as if the chancellor himself, instead of making important decisions, always goes out to drink coffee. Mikhail antonov, anastasia barkovskaya, Denis Lisitsin and andrey putro. News of the week. Germany. On tuesday, in the center of the bulgarian capital sofia , a memorial to soviet liberating soldiers began to be demolished. City officials said history. From bulgaria, daria grigorova. The workers are stabbing, chopping, cutting. Then they put the noose around the neck. An army man and a worker and even a mother and child. This is what restoration looks like from the point of view of the city authorities of sofia it was decided to cut the monument into pieces. The workers seem to be in a hurry to deal with the monument. In just a couple of days , only the torsos remain on the pedestal. The decision to demolish monuments in the country is not shared by everyone. Right in front of the entrance to the memorial, the city authorities decided to set up a festive new years market and a skating rink , from behind the pavilions you can still see the surviving sculptures. Local residents bring flowers here. Despite. All security measures, many bulgarians are trying to protect the monument in one way or another, holding protests. Activist dimitar petkovich was involved in protecting the monument to the soviet army from vandals, and there are complaints that people filed in court, so far we are waiting for an answer. The sofia city hall calls the demolition of the memorial restoration. The parliamentary opposition doubts the legality of the decision. Deputies of several parties blocked the work of the bulgarian parliament, demanding that all documentation be provided. Turned into pfoz lawlessness, which we have been observing in the last few days in the center of sofia. Without official permission from the center sofia is being rampaged by people armed with grinders. The Renaissance Party demanded a referendum on the fate of the monument; bulgarian president rumen radev also stood up for the monument to the soviet army. Its unusual, no matter, when there is no decision about the present and a position on the future, there is a war with the past. The barbaric destruction of the monument is an attempt to rewrite history. Doesnt have it. The actions of the capitals Mayors Office also violate Bilateral Agreements between bulgaria and russia. Moscow has repeatedly offered to rent the territory of the memorial from the city. Complex to care for the monument at their own expense, but all notes remained unanswered. We , of course, look at this with horror, because how else. He demolishes a monument of some kind of plastic history, this is a real deception to the soldiers, so to the soldiers of the Russian Imperial Army in a wellmaintained condition, one of those who monuments puts up, not demolishes tsvetomir vylkov, the other day he finished another of his projects. This place is an old ancient Village Cemetery where a soviet soldier, sergeant nikolai kobzalev, is buried. Sergeant kobzev died after victory day in a hospital in the village of telish, rural cemetery. Memorials, funds for repairs are donated from all over the area; in these places, not only the red army is well remembered, but also, of course, the soldiers of the liberators who brought bulgaria independence from the ottoman empire. Bulgaria is a plegen on its famous canvas requiem. Verishchagin created the painting under the impression of what he saw on the battlefield in october 1877, mutilated by the turks. Museum of socialist art, however, its director has already stated that for the monument of this size there is hardly room in it, and some politicians propose to go even further, get rid of everything connected with russia, rename the streets in the center of sofia and the Alexander Nevsky temple, and even change the constitution, where it is written that Independence Day is 3 march, the day when russia signed the Stephen Peace treaty with ottoman turkey. Ordinary people, in russian, as a protest against the erasure of women in the west, longawaited, thank you, all the best, special just for you, now its 4 oclock, yes they worked, but always questions. Listen, everyone saw this, why would you warn me against it . From naive imperial policy, and biden declares that if putin is not stopped in ukraine, then russia will attack nato. We always show the political behind the scenes. Certainly. And now they turned out to be its direct participants. I havent been to the store yet. Which store is putin talking about and new details of the recent story . Are you going to ask for forgiveness or not . Do you still remember how your mother put you in . Yes exactly, for what .
