[00:00:01] Moscow has unexpectedly reached out to [00:00:03] Kiev regarding the end of the war. [00:00:06] >> It's always possible when several [00:00:08] countries, even two countries, come to [00:00:10] an agreement. We're always ready to [00:00:12] compromise. [00:00:12] >> Putin has dealt a heavy blow to his own [00:00:14] army. A major scandal has erupted in the [00:00:17] Kremlin. [00:00:17] >> Those who do this are scoundrels. [00:00:20] >> There is a law that must be followed. [00:00:22] >> For the first time, Russia is discussing [00:00:24] its post-war future and has admitted its [00:00:27] economy has failed. Okay, so the war [00:00:30] will end and our people will return home [00:00:32] from the front. But what awaits them at [00:00:34] home? The economy. We're in a recession. [00:00:36] Oh, sorry. In a technical recession. [00:00:39] >> Thanks for the likes and comments, [00:00:40] everyone. Make sure to subscribe so you [00:00:43] don't miss our upcoming videos. [00:00:44] >> It's impossible to ignore the recent [00:00:46] remarks by our foreign minister. There's [00:00:49] clear concern and confusion over the [00:00:51] erosion of the so-called Anchorage [00:00:53] spirit. It takes two to tango and a [00:00:56] handshake requires two hands. Moscow's [00:00:58] hand, for its part, is ready for a [00:01:00] handshake right now. Ready to work [00:01:02] together on something constructive. You [00:01:04] know, I keep wondering why this keeps [00:01:06] happening, why the Anchorage spirit we [00:01:09] pinned so many hopes on turns out to be [00:01:11] so fragile, why we keep hitting a wall, [00:01:14] why it simply doesn't work. And I don't [00:01:16] have an answer. I just wish the [00:01:18] Anchorage Spirit were more like an [00:01:20] expensive political fragrance, not some [00:01:23] knockoff American perfume made in [00:01:25] Alaska. The negotiations are ongoing, [00:01:27] and as the United States has begun [00:01:29] pushing Putin toward a deal unfavorable [00:01:31] to Russia, Moscow has started lamenting [00:01:34] the so-called Anchorage spirit, [00:01:36] expressing deep confusion over why the [00:01:38] American president refused to hand [00:01:40] Ukraine over to them and instead [00:01:42] insisted on fair security guarantees for [00:01:45] Kiev, as well as preserving the [00:01:47] country's sovereignty and independence. [00:01:49] For the fourth day in a row, Russian [00:01:51] Foreign Minister Sergey Lav has been [00:01:53] giving hour-long interviews to various [00:01:56] international and domestic outlets, [00:01:58] repeating almost word for word that the [00:02:00] West is forcing Putin into a peace [00:02:02] agreement with Ukraine, whether he likes [00:02:05] it or not. In this context, Lavro [00:02:07] sounding almost regretful notes that [00:02:09] Putin liked the agreement discussed in [00:02:11] Alaska, but does not like the one now on [00:02:14] the table. Yet, there's nothing they can [00:02:16] do about it. If the United States says [00:02:18] so, they have to grit their teeth and [00:02:20] actually begin searching for compromises [00:02:22] with Ukraine. What personally gives you [00:02:25] hope today that these negotiations will [00:02:27] actually lead to results? Hope comes [00:02:29] only from your own truth. Compromises [00:02:32] are always possible when several states, [00:02:34] even just two, negotiate. We are always [00:02:37] ready for compromises. Simply put, for a [00:02:39] balance of interests. The most important [00:02:41] thing is that the legitimate interests [00:02:43] of every state are taken into account. [00:02:45] We want to ensure our own security like [00:02:48] any normal country interested in its [00:02:50] continued existence and in its people [00:02:52] developing under the most favorable [00:02:54] external conditions. Compromises cannot [00:02:56] concern key fundamental principles on [00:02:59] which the life of the state and above [00:03:01] all the lives of millions and millions [00:03:03] of people depend. In Anchorage, we found [00:03:06] approaches that opened the path to [00:03:08] peace. On that basis, it was entirely [00:03:10] realistic to fairly quickly agree on a [00:03:13] final settlement treaty. The Trump [00:03:15] administration made an attempt in the [00:03:17] documents that circulated in many [00:03:19] different versions during the last [00:03:20] quarter of last year after the meeting [00:03:22] in Alaska. All subsequent versions are [00:03:25] the result of attempts to force the [00:03:26] issue. The American initiative coming [00:03:28] from Zalinski and above all from his [00:03:31] patrons in Britain, Germany, and France [00:03:33] speaks of security guarantees not with [00:03:36] Russia's participation but against [00:03:38] Russia. In other words, we stop and we [00:03:40] won't legally recognize anything but de [00:03:43] facto we stop provided that you give us [00:03:46] ironclad security guarantees ratified by [00:03:49] your parliaments and deploy troops. [00:03:51] According to what was recently written [00:03:53] in the Financial Times, these guarantees [00:03:55] would mean the automatic start of a war [00:03:58] against the Russian Federation by all [00:04:00] the forces of the contingents deployed [00:04:02] there, NATO forces, with direct support [00:04:05] from the United States. Any incident [00:04:07] deemed unacceptable would serve as the [00:04:10] trigger for such a war against Russia. [00:04:12] As for Zalinski and his clown's ability [00:04:14] to stage provocations, it probably [00:04:17] doesn't even need to be explained. [00:04:19] >> But the reality is that this is just a [00:04:21] story meant for a not very discerning [00:04:23] Russian audience. In practice, Russia [00:04:26] will accept whatever it's told because [00:04:28] it's in no position to bargain right [00:04:30] now. At the same time, we're seeing [00:04:32] Putin in the middle of talks, [00:04:34] effectively throwing his own army under [00:04:36] the bus. The very army he claims is [00:04:38] bravely defending Russia's interests. [00:04:40] After Russian troops lost access to [00:04:42] Starlink, sparking panic in the ranks, [00:04:45] another major blow followed. This time, [00:04:47] it was a stab in the back because the [00:04:49] Kremlin itself harmed its own military. [00:04:51] Russian authorities began throttling and [00:04:54] even blocking the telegram messenger [00:04:56] inside the country with Pescov saying [00:04:58] the company had failed to comply with [00:05:00] Moscow's demands. The problem is that [00:05:02] Russian frontline communication is now [00:05:05] largely built around that very app. [00:05:07] Soldiers and progovernment commentators [00:05:09] are openly panicking saying Moscow set [00:05:12] them up and without asking anyone simply [00:05:14] left its own defenders without [00:05:16] communications and at the mercy of [00:05:19] circumstances. Maybe Vladimir Vladimir [00:05:22] will hear us. The Telegram platform lets [00:05:25] us exchange information quickly and [00:05:27] effectively counter enemy drones. And [00:05:29] now you want to take this tool away from [00:05:31] us. Well, those who sew the wind will [00:05:34] reap the storm. We are worthy sons of [00:05:36] our people. We are not against it. We [00:05:38] are always ready to strike the enemy on [00:05:40] any front, no matter how hard or easy it [00:05:43] may be for us. But now the very process [00:05:46] of information exchange and coordination [00:05:48] built with enormous effort is becoming [00:05:51] more complicated. Believe me, I know [00:05:53] this better than anyone because I was [00:05:55] the one setting it all up. I'd like to [00:05:57] ask, did you ask us before deciding to [00:06:00] ban this? Did any of you come and find [00:06:02] out whether this would actually be [00:06:04] useful for Russia? My call sign is DJ [00:06:07] and I'm currently on combat duty. I'm a [00:06:09] member of the Albatross group. We fight [00:06:12] enemy UAVs to keep them from reaching [00:06:14] our beloved homeland, Russia. Telegram [00:06:17] is our only means of communication. [00:06:19] Please don't take it away from us. Who's [00:06:21] slowing down Telegram? Go to the front [00:06:24] to the so-called special military [00:06:27] operation. The guys shedding blood [00:06:29] there. It's their only connection to [00:06:31] their families. What are you doing? I'm [00:06:33] calling things what they are. What are [00:06:35] you doing? The people behind this are [00:06:38] scum. Scum. People are dying there, [00:06:41] dying for Russia, for the Russian world. [00:06:44] And what are you doing? [00:06:46] >> And many such messages, including [00:06:48] outright threats toward the Kremlin, [00:06:50] have begun flooding social media from [00:06:52] Russian soldiers themselves. It's easy [00:06:54] to see why. They're the ones dealing [00:06:56] with the chaos now unfolding in the [00:06:58] Russian army along the front line. Even [00:07:00] Putin's mouthpiece, Soliv, criticized [00:07:03] Moscow's decision, calling it almost a [00:07:05] betrayal. He accused the Kremlin first [00:07:07] of cutting him off from hundreds of [00:07:09] thousands of his telegram audience and [00:07:12] second of harming their heroic boys on [00:07:14] the battlefield. If they tell me this [00:07:16] tool is being taken away, fine. What [00:07:19] tool are they going to offer me instead? [00:07:21] How am I supposed to recover the [00:07:23] audience that's on Telegram? Yes, I [00:07:25] understand this isn't a major state [00:07:26] matter. It's simply a user's point of [00:07:29] view. I communicate with many people who [00:07:31] are currently fighting and stationed at [00:07:33] the front through Telegram. I wonder [00:07:34] whether they feel these slowdowns and [00:07:37] restrictions where they are. Given that [00:07:39] so much frontline communication happens [00:07:42] exclusively through Telegram. It's [00:07:44] neither good nor bad. It's simply a [00:07:46] fact. We are ready to offer them a [00:07:48] convenient, simple, and clear transition [00:07:50] to a secure system. We intend to work [00:07:52] only with a national messenger. To do [00:07:54] that, it must have competitive features [00:07:56] and most importantly userfriendly [00:07:58] functionality. So there are two [00:08:00] possibilities here. Either Putin has [00:08:02] deliberately started throwing his own [00:08:04] troops under the bus, which is entirely [00:08:06] plausible given the pressure from the [00:08:08] United States and an economy that can no [00:08:10] longer sustain the war in its current [00:08:12] form. Or he simply doesn't understand [00:08:14] how his army actually operates and did [00:08:17] this by mistake, exposing his men to [00:08:19] death or capture. It's extremely hard to [00:08:21] work when there's total boneheadedness [00:08:24] at the top. It feels like we act first [00:08:26] and only think afterward. You still [00:08:28] haven't managed to create an alternative [00:08:30] to Telegram. You're hurting everyone [00:08:32] into Max and Vontactia by force and the [00:08:35] result is broken coordination and [00:08:37] soldiers getting killed. I'd like all [00:08:39] these brilliant minds to come to the [00:08:41] so-called Luhansk People's Republic and [00:08:43] talk to the fighters. Or go to Shebakino [00:08:46] and hear what the locals really think [00:08:47] about them. After that, it'll be nothing [00:08:49] but swearing. Use your brains. What the [00:08:52] hell are you doing? Now, a few words [00:08:54] about Russia's economy and why I say it [00:08:56] can no longer sustain the war in its [00:08:59] current format. More and more people [00:09:01] close to the Kremlin have begun openly [00:09:03] complaining that the economy is in bad [00:09:05] shape. Notably, even so-called patriots [00:09:08] have for the first time started [00:09:10] wondering what happens after the [00:09:11] so-called special operation ends with a [00:09:14] budget hole like this. Recently, Soliv [00:09:17] openly said for the first time that the [00:09:19] Russian economy is already in recession, [00:09:22] that the situation is getting worse by [00:09:24] the day, and that once the boys come [00:09:26] back from the front, the state will have [00:09:28] nothing to offer them in return. As a [00:09:30] result, Russia could face internal [00:09:32] turmoil because it's only logical those [00:09:35] returning soldiers will eventually ask [00:09:37] Putin, "What were we actually fighting [00:09:40] for?" All right, then. The war ends. We [00:09:42] win. Great. People return home from the [00:09:44] front. And what's waiting for them [00:09:46] there? An economy capable of creating [00:09:48] jobs for half a million people so that [00:09:51] those used to earning over 200,000 [00:09:53] rubles a month would agree to work for [00:09:55] at least 150,000. Can you show where [00:09:58] salaries like that actually exist? Just [00:10:00] tell us. Moscow used to show impressive [00:10:03] numbers. Yet even in my beloved city, [00:10:05] despite the Moscow government's titanic [00:10:07] efforts, restaurants are closing, shops [00:10:10] are closing. Why? Because people lost [00:10:12] money. Entire districts of newly built [00:10:14] housing stand empty across the country [00:10:17] because who can afford to buy them and [00:10:19] what is the government trying to [00:10:20] achieve, right? The main thing is not to [00:10:23] use scary words like stagflation. If [00:10:25] everything is bad and we still can't fix [00:10:28] these terrible indicators, then we'll [00:10:29] just call it technical. We don't have a [00:10:32] recession, we have a technical [00:10:33] recession. And why technical negative [00:10:36] growth dynamics? What is all this verbal [00:10:38] gymnastics supposed to accomplish? [00:10:40] Explain it to me. this throwing around [00:10:42] of meaningless terms, stable development [00:10:45] trajectories. Just imagine someone [00:10:47] coming to Stalin and saying, "We finally [00:10:49] raised the Soviet economy and put it on [00:10:51] a path of stable growth." He'd say, "Are [00:10:54] you out of your minds? The central bank [00:10:56] acts in ways nobody understands and [00:10:58] makes forecasts based on the madness of [00:11:00] its own actions." No, they say the [00:11:03] economy simply cannot grow by more than [00:11:05] 1%. Well, of course, if you've strangled [00:11:08] it hard enough, it'll eventually just [00:11:10] die. [00:11:11] >> And that's it for today. Thanks for [00:11:13] watching, everyone. Let me know what you [00:11:15] think in the comments, and don't forget [00:11:17] to like and subscribe if you haven't [00:11:19] already.
