Transcript

00:00my friends today i picked out three topics for you that we'd take a look at and we begin with

00:05unfortunately the saddest story it's a russian war crime they have been committing this specific

00:11war crime for i would say years in southern ukrainian cities under ukrainian control like

00:16herson and mikolayev there is going on something they call uh ukrainian civilian drone safari or

00:23russian drone safari like the name suggests it's russian drone operators with fv drones who hunt

00:29ukrainian civilians on the streets of herson or mikolayev or other close to frontline cities

00:36and i usually don't show it to you although it happens almost every day i cannot or i will not

00:42ignore this specific instance we're gonna watch together so you at least know it's going on quite

00:47many people decide not to talk about it since youtube doesn't really allow to show much here

00:52that some people might not know that this is going on but i will show it to you now so

00:57we're on the

00:57same page this man here is a 52 years old ukrainian vegetable seller seller or merchant he has his

01:06vegetables or tangerines or whatever are they that you sell in a summer in ukraine on the street like

01:12that in these boxes it's quite common to do that you drive your car open up the shades put the

01:18boxes out

01:18and people buy them if they pass and then this happens this here is a russian drone this is not

01:28a front line this is not uh ongoing battle between armed forces this is a civilian and this is a

01:36russian

01:36drone operator somewhere behind the russian front just hunting this civilian seeing that these are

01:44vegetables they're not like grenades or kalashnikovs or whatever they're supposed to be in his eyes they

01:51are vegetables and the man is running from his life making circles around his cars much like the safari of

01:58bisons in the end of the 1800s in the united states of america when they shot the most of them

02:04just on

02:05trains for fun they didn't even collect the carcasses this is human safari done by the russian drone operators

02:15and it hits it deliberately hunts down this civilian selling vegetables this ukrainian man

02:21innocent ukrainian civilian every news outlet in ukraine picked this up and then western news

02:27outlets started picking this up this is a very well documented war crime that russians have been

02:32committing for years now actually it has been going on non-stop for years so russians felt like they

02:38needed to react somehow because now everybody in the west is also talking about this so they came

02:43up with the story i will read you this is a one of the russian telegram channels friends so i

02:48don't

02:49have to get up several times there the crests are circulating a video about a strike on dual use

02:55equipment this vehicle has been separately seen delivering dual use cargo and drivers are active

03:01in active contact with ukraine non-forces militia militants traders handle the logistics of dual use

03:06cargo yada yada yada and in the end he says we continue the pig is alive referring to the extremely

03:14lucky man 52 years old man who survived this drone blast i mean it doesn't really happen it's

03:20very lucky guy i mean this last sentence says it all the pig is alive this is how they feel

03:25about

03:25this the russians trying to make up some kind of a story that he was selling like i don't know

03:29weapons or

03:30drones on the street to passerby people it was a vegetable merchant i'm guessing a fruit merchant

03:37if it's southern ukraine on the street and actually i was glad to see and surprised to see that the

03:42ryan macbeth yes the ryan macbeth made uh personally geolocation on this video shows you how big this video

03:49is so thank you ryan for doing doing this these are scenes from the video located the fence and this

03:56is

03:57probably this is a roundabout a very big one this is probably where the attack happened on google maps

04:01it's an old photo there's grass here right now there's no grass there there was just like dirt

04:05you can see the coordinates you can go check it out if you want to and this is where it

04:10was filmed

04:10at thank you ryan for doing god's work also an extremely lucky man the victim people don't survive

04:17these drone blasts usually so close so directly hunted he did you must have a great guardian angel

04:23guardian angel let's see what he has to say what's his what's what's the story we were just starting

04:29to hang out hang out meaning like we set up our shop we just set up the umbrella and i

04:34was taking

04:35the boxes out my wife was there too and then uh well why are they honking asking like why are

04:41other

04:41people honking around me you can't even see him talking about the drone he claimed he came or it came

04:49flying out from somewhere behind the market right from those bushes flying solo

05:05my wife started running away and the drone started turning around and that's when it hit the car well

05:13i was signaling to the drone that watch out for the vegetables meaning like hey drone drone operator

05:20look i have vegetables here i'm a vegetable merchant or a fruit merchant maybe goes missing in the

05:26translation well it's like fruits or vegetable in the boxes but the drone started flying right at me

05:32so i started running and the drone hit the car i was right next to it and basically we ended

05:37up

05:38side by side that's the story i chose this specific one because there's videos there's a survivor there

05:45is a russian reaction and everybody's talking about it so i hope many more people will talk about it

05:51although this has been happening for years sometimes a very specific story is needed for the masses to

05:56know or acknowledge or look at it so i hope this story gets to the masses and they will all

06:02acknowledge

06:02that russia is a criminal state they're hunting civilians or trying to make by selling vegetables

06:09or fruit in the southern ukrainian cities later in this video this man said this car was probably one

06:14of the only things he owned and it's gone now the end of that story right now we'll keep covering

06:19it

06:19in the coming videos but now elections in russia i know this is a big jump but they are coming

06:2520th of

06:25september actually one and a half months there will be elections of state duma which is the russian

06:31parliament in russia people will elect and they have been playing this charade of democracy ever

06:37since you know 1991 even in the soviet union there was some kind of elections that they played to have

06:44this show i brought in this topic because like the elections get closer people on the street start

06:49talking and people on the street start interviewing other people and people say much more what they think

06:54or if they do elect or not elect what they think about the edin that i see which is the

06:59party ruling

07:00party russia united and this is so different than in the previous elections or the five elections

07:05before that that putin has been leading this country because russians now have been feeling the pains of

07:11this war for the first time ever in the last year ukrainians have brought the fires the explosions

07:18and the pains to the russian doorstep let's see how these pains have affected the people who elect

07:24the duma members are you planning to vote for the united russia party in the september elections no

07:30will you vote for the state duma elections in september i won't why because we get ripped off at every

07:37turn just effing scammers sitting up there overall no why not i don't trust the government you don't

07:43believe in the elections will be fair and transparent i mean whoever wins i feel nothing will change

07:49are you planning to vote for the united russia no why i don't think i even need to comment

07:58and this is quite usual what the russians do they say i don't elect or i feel there's no change

08:02or i'm

08:03apolitical and when you ask comment that i don't comment and they walk away it's very russian behavior

08:07they're still quite afraid to speak quite afraid to show they just say no because i'm apolitical perhaps

08:14or because i don't trust the government and that's that there's gonna be no analysis of it

08:18there's gonna be no discussion of it they walk away that has been bred into them for the last

08:22ever since putin has been a power it wasn't the case by the way uh during the 90s when they

08:28got a

08:28taste of freedom under the yeltsin times although it was a horrible time economic for russia there were

08:34roots of democracy going on and people were feeling that their votes meant something the votes in the 90s

08:41were a lot more closer to democracy than they are now and people took part in political activity

08:50quite massively actually but this has been rooted out of them in their minds rooted out you don't

08:56discuss this you don't give answers you walk away this is what we see here and it's russian propaganda

09:01the gears working in their heads they ask the question and immediately walk away no i don't comment

09:08if you do go would you support the ruling party united russia i doubt it why they don't do much

09:15good for the people is it hard to remember anything good yeah well you know not a single example comes

09:21to mind of the good thing they have done what are united russia's results in 26 years that putin has

09:29been in power it's putin's party if you look at it in the context of all of this geopolitical stuff

09:34it's a total show everywhere probably the most honest and realistically realistic answer there is

09:40it's a show always has been but ever since russian lives got better in the last 15 years 2000 to

09:482015

09:4914 russians didn't mind it they actually loved the czar because they could love booting they need this

09:55position filled in their heads this leader and their lives got better so they didn't need to take part in

09:59politics and their lives kept improving that changed now they still have this position in

10:04their heads but their lives are not improving there's a disconnection there yes they don't go

10:08out on the street to protest but they all feel this disconnection am i supposed to like this

10:13everything is and there's this one guy i'm supposed to love i cannot do love him anymore so you can

10:19feel

10:20this dilemma in their heads they're not taught to take part in politics but there's something in the

10:25inside the force that pushes them towards it and this russian propaganda is this wall in their heads

10:30that they cannot get through so talking about these elections what they do in russia when the leader the

10:35czar visits a certain town or place krasnoyarsk for example august the fourth was when putin visited

10:43krasnoyarsk which is it's in siberia it's in far far east well something very peculiar happened when he

10:49visited because for that one day morning to evening fuel prices were lowered for 30 about 25 rubles they

10:58were over 100 now they're like 67 63 96 they were lowered so putin comes in krasnoyarsk is like whoa

11:04look low prices i'm doing good goes on stage says hey low prices we're doing great all is good what

11:11are

11:11you whining about and immediately as putin left the prices were again in the real places they are 91 87

11:18and

11:18that's a big difference for russians so they are putting up a charade for him and people see this

11:23and say the czar doesn't know czar doesn't know i'm guessing there's a little bit of truth to it he

11:28doesn't know because they do have this charade for him but they always forget who was it that created

11:34this system of lies and deception it was the czar i give you a man a russian military analyst

11:42maxim klimov who now opens his mouth putting his life in danger and threat like a lot of russian

11:48to do nowadays check it out i'll show you one minute of his speech there is no doubt that the

11:53country's top leaders does not have an objective picture of what is happening which is the czar

11:58doesn't know but this doesn't it's not it this guy opens it up a bit more because frankly what

12:04he says is deeply troubling due to the enormous gap between what is actually happening and the way the

12:09top leader sees the situation on the one hand as they say the czar doesn't know take it from the

12:16mouth of the russian but on the other hand excuse me wasn't it the czar himself who created this

12:22entire system of total deception lies and so on or rather it was not created by him alone but with

12:29his active involvement and now the interviewer says i can see that you're having a hard time finding the

12:35words to answer these questions like you might be having trouble here you know the propaganda starts

12:39working this guy's speaking too much let's see he might be having trouble let's move on but check this out

12:44so you what i have no problem saying it openly and here it comes this is the execute execution

12:51sentence or they don't execute people now civilians in russia they usually send them to the war or to

12:56the jail is vladimir vladimirovich putin a strong leader no he is not he is a weak leader it's no

13:03longer

13:03just the king's entourage dancing around them as the saying goes it's now the very people in certain

13:09kremlin factions as the presidential administration structures themselves so this guy starts speaking

13:15in this interview very dangerous topics the truth which in russia is punishable by not yet death in

13:22some cases yes but usually by the front or the prison and the interviewer this face he makes right here

13:28this is when you're very uncomfortable because the guy you're interviewing speaks the truth oh that's

13:34painful look at that face keep looking at that face it doesn't change for quite a time including

13:40those behind the series of controversial appointments such as the appointment of the head of the combat

13:44training directorate and the aerospace forces commander mr chico is colonel general chico the guy who

13:51was just tried to be assassinated in moscow in the roti italian restaurants he was having his 55th

13:59birthday new leader of the airspace forces by the way previously he was big responsible person in

14:06russian syrian campaign then in the campaign near kiev where russian forces spectacularly failed and now

14:13they appointed him for these two failures syria was a failure kiev was a failure for the russians now this

14:20guy responsible for both of them in a certain way was now appointed as a leader of the entire russian

14:25airspace forces why because he's loyal to people he needs to be loyal to loyalty is rewarded honesty

14:32is punished in putin's system although this guy is a failure in military and this is what maxim klimov is

14:38here saying and it's very uncomfortable for the interviewer as you can see i will not continue this

14:43interview but this face says it all you're not supposed to make this face when you interview somebody

14:48but it's so painful to hear this in russia to end this here i bring to you a british man

14:55in moscow russia speaks fluent russian but just to illustrate how bad these things have gotten under

15:01putin's rule a lot of people eat cereal in the morning it's something you buy regularly when you

15:05buy stuff for your children or for yourself or whatever so let's see how it is in moscow

15:11guys i'm effing shocked can someone explain to me why coco pop cereal which are kellogg's by the way this

15:18is a western company costs 1898 rubles i'm in shock my shock is in shock and back home talking about

15:31england by the way where costs are not cheap england is not doing well economically i don't know it's

15:37three pounds which comes to 280 rubles and here it's this price bloody hell i get that i'm in a

15:44premium grocery store but this is just too much it's ridiculous i'm effing shocked someone explained

15:51that to me what is happening why is it like this if your cereal gets expensive like this something you

15:56buy every day well the pensioners don't buy this they don't have the money for this they buy potatoes

16:00they buy carrots they buy stuff which has uh discounts with coupons that's what the russian

16:06pensioners do usually these prices have also risen 100 200 300 percent all everybody are suffering only

16:13that in england when it's this expensive the wages are one of the top in the european union like amongst

16:19top five six in russia people are poor they're below the poverty line like tens of millions of people

16:27get a few hundred dollars per month can you imagine that so this is this gives you an idea of

16:35how much

16:35the regular russians suffer their life supposed to be getting better but now their groceries gets i'm

16:41not talking about 50 percent more year on year no 300 in one year on this cereal can you imagine

16:48what

16:48everything else might be now let's talk about farming because it is connected russia is a big farming

16:53country the southern of russia has quite a lot of steps quite a lot of farmlands and they export they

16:59were quite a big wheat and farming produce exporters after ukraine before the war well uh farmers as you

17:07all know in united states in europe in russia it's kind of similar story it's very difficult to be a

17:12rich

17:13farm it's impossible kind of to be a rich farmer maybe in the united states but in europe not so

17:18easy

17:18usually you get this european union support monies and it's all good thanks to european union estonian

17:23farmers are doing good but usually a farmer you take a bank loan you sow you reap and you get

17:29the

17:29zero that's a farmer's story pretty much you know what a farmer uses the most it's diesel everywhere

17:34diesel diesel prices have risen 200 300 percent in some areas while grain prices and the produce they

17:41sell have not risen they don't get money more money for that every fifth farmer is now on the brink

17:46of

17:46bankruptcy it's a huge sector in russia and i don't think i've much talked about it or nobody has

17:53because there's so much more interesting going on like wild berries and oil refineries but this is

17:57very important because these are regular people in russia and farmers they work 12 hours a day

18:02and these are the people who suffer now every third farmer actually sorry it's third farmer is on

18:08the brink of bankruptcy the first drug clouds have finally started moving and they will most likely be

18:15they last for quite a long time in the rosto region winter wheat was selling for 16 17 rubles per

18:21kilogram which is very very cheap yesterday our grain was accepted at just 12.5 rubles per kilogram

18:28which is one third of your expenses pretty much agriculture has entered a critical situation due to

18:34record low purchase prices part of this year's harvard is now cheaper to throw away than the harvest grain is

18:41simply being dumped onto the ground the reason is simple the cost of growing harvest crops is now

18:47three times higher than their market price so the cost of growing it like taking care of it putting

18:54fertilizers manure whatever you use on your fields the diesel for the combines to cut it down the

18:59workforce you have to pay to run the campaigns and look all of this is three times higher you sell

19:04entire works years work the harvest and you get one third of what you expected expended and you have

19:10a loan on the banks for your entire farmland you're screwed what do you do in the west this is

19:16difficult

19:17the country comes to help you in the european union that's the case but in russia they're just screwed

19:22this is back in july this is one month ago and the situation was already extremely dire now it's harvesting

19:27time it's august i spoke again with the farmers from cherepanova cherepanova cherepanova i don't know

19:36do you know what they told me lena if diesel reaches 100 rubles a liter we won't even start our

19:42combines

19:42because it's farming nowadays is pure math if the diesel is that expensive there's no point in getting

19:50the crops off the fields it's ready go and harvest it and sell it sell it at what prices you're

19:56gonna get

19:56cents on the dollar for that and the diesel you bought to harvest it will get you in debt you

20:03actually have to borrow money from banks to buy the diesel because it gets hundreds or thousands of

20:08tons you will need of it if there's a big farm you sell it all and you owe a bank

20:13a lot of money and you

20:14didn't make any profit you're in deep minus so the situation for working 12 hours a day for years

20:21is this for a farmer it's incredibly sad in russia and to end this specific topic i just saw you

20:27show

20:28you a chart of russian what russian state is doing under putin for the last five years pretty much

20:332021 national defense national security and law enforcement so this is not military spending this

20:40is but in russia it's already fused anyway this is spending of police military secret police foreign

20:47intelligence all that together putin's or more in police pretty much every security force in russia

20:54that keeps putin in power spending in 21 was 24 24.6 percent 26 31 38 40 53.8 percent

21:05in 2026 so half

21:07of the government spending is just the security forces everything combined and you can see this red

21:13is public debt servicing putin has been notoriously sneaky about paying the debts of russia or lowering

21:20the national debt in the last 20 years and putting everything to his war chest 300 billion in russia

21:25and another 300 in west frozen now this 300 in russia the liquid assets it's pretty much gone so they're

21:32now borrowing like crazy to keep this spending but servicing this debt i know this 9.2 percent is

21:40not big compared to some european union countries or you know even united states compared to the real

21:45numbers there it's not that big but it goes up it goes year by year goes up there's no stopping

21:49this

21:50this will go at 20 this will go at 30 if necessary and now altogether 63 percent of the entire

21:55government

21:56spending goes to either national defense forces security forces or servicing the debt so there's almost

22:02nothing left to use for the people the people who are paying for this and this is only the beginning

22:11of the downward spiral for russia just to illustrate where russia is heading straight down the train this

22:16is it my friends i apologize for having to start this video with such a grim news of the war
