BeO Onanuga, stated that President Bola Ahmed Tanubu has accepted
10
00:00:39,600 –> 00:00:44,079
the resignation of Jeffriuchen Naji, the Minister of Innovation, Science
11
00:00:44,240 –> 00:00:49,960
and Technology, following some allegations against him. President Tanubu appointed
12
00:00:50,039 –> 00:00:53,640
Naji in August twenty twenty three. He resigned today in
13
00:00:53,679 –> 00:00:57,119
a letter thanking the President for allowing him to serve Nigeria.
14
00:00:57,920 –> 00:01:00,719
Naji said he has been a target of blackmail by
15
00:01:00,759 –> 00:01:05,239
political opponents. President Talubu thanked him for his service and
16
00:01:05,280 –> 00:01:10,519
wished him well in future endeavours. Earlier, Nigeria State controlled
17
00:01:10,560 –> 00:01:15,560
media NTA had reported that the Minister of Innovation, Science
18
00:01:15,599 –> 00:01:20,200
and Technology, huch Jeffrey Naji has dismissed reports questioning his
19
00:01:20,280 –> 00:01:25,079
academic qualifications, describing him as politically motivated attempts to tarnish
20
00:01:25,079 –> 00:01:29,319
his image. The minister has firmly defended the authenticity of
21
00:01:29,359 –> 00:01:34,879
his University of Nigeria INSUCCA degree. Speaking through his spokesperson,
22
00:01:35,319 –> 00:01:39,760
Doctor Robert n g Wu, the minister said records from
23
00:01:39,879 –> 00:01:43,920
unn confirm he graduated in July nineteen eighty five with
24
00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:48,879
a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and Biochemistry, second Class Honours,
25
00:01:49,239 –> 00:01:54,400
Lower Division. He described recent reports denying his graduation as false,
26
00:01:54,719 –> 00:01:59,000
malicious and politically driven, alleging that the controversy began after
27
00:01:59,040 –> 00:02:03,959
opposition figures took key positions within the university. Niji revealed
28
00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:07,079
that the Federal High Court in Abuja has issued protective
29
00:02:07,200 –> 00:02:10,759
orders restraining the university from tampering with his records and
30
00:02:10,840 –> 00:02:15,680
directing the release of his academic transcript. Reaffirming his focus
31
00:02:15,719 –> 00:02:19,360
on national service, the minister said no amount of political
32
00:02:19,360 –> 00:02:23,240
blackmail or media trial will distract him from advancing innovation
33
00:02:23,400 –> 00:02:27,919
and technology in Nigeria. He urged the University of Nigeria
34
00:02:27,960 –> 00:02:31,319
to uphold its motto to restore the dignity of man
35
00:02:31,599 –> 00:02:35,520
and resist being used for partisan purposes. In a swift
36
00:02:35,560 –> 00:02:40,400
reaction on Tuesday, Enugu State Government denied sponsoring allegations of
37
00:02:40,479 –> 00:02:45,599
certificate forgery against the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology,
38
00:02:45,879 –> 00:02:49,680
Chief Fuche Naji, urging him to carry his cross and
39
00:02:49,800 –> 00:02:54,000
clear his name before Nigerians. The government, in a press
40
00:02:54,039 –> 00:02:57,159
statement issued in Enugu on Monday by the Director of
41
00:02:57,240 –> 00:03:02,280
Information in the Ministry of Information and Community Occasion, Mister Chukumechanivo,
42
00:03:02,639 –> 00:03:05,879
said it had no hand whatsoever in the controversies surrounding
43
00:03:05,879 –> 00:03:11,240
the Minister’s academic records. The Enugu State Government dissociates itself
44
00:03:11,280 –> 00:03:15,400
completely from these allegations. The honorable Minister must carry his
45
00:03:15,479 –> 00:03:19,240
own cross and clear his name before Nigerian’s instead of
46
00:03:19,319 –> 00:03:23,039
dragging the government into issues that are entirely personal to him,
47
00:03:23,039 –> 00:03:27,560
mister Nebo declared. The Director of Information recalled the Chief.
48
00:03:27,680 –> 00:03:31,599
Naji had invited journalists to a world Press conference scheduled
49
00:03:31,599 –> 00:03:33,960
for Monday at two p m to address the matter,
50
00:03:34,319 –> 00:03:37,919
but failed to show up. A large number of Nigerian
51
00:03:37,960 –> 00:03:42,000
and international journalists reportedly gathered on the Minister’s invitation to
52
00:03:42,080 –> 00:03:45,759
hear directly from him, but rather than appear before them
53
00:03:45,759 –> 00:03:49,360
to answer questions and establish his innocence, the Minister of
54
00:03:49,400 –> 00:03:53,400
scondid leaving behind proxies who could not withstand the barrage
55
00:03:53,439 –> 00:03:58,000
of legitimate questions from journalists who can narrate Chief Naji’s
56
00:03:58,120 –> 00:04:02,400
UNN story better than him. Why invite the media only
57
00:04:02,439 –> 00:04:06,560
to outsource the conference? Why send third parties who lack
58
00:04:06,680 –> 00:04:10,639
the answers to critical questions? If he truly has nothing
59
00:04:10,680 –> 00:04:15,159
to hide, mister Nebo queried, did he, for his screening
60
00:04:15,479 –> 00:04:18,519
present a purported degree certificate to the Senate showing that
61
00:04:18,560 –> 00:04:22,839
he graduated from the prestigious University of Nigeria in Succa
62
00:04:23,079 –> 00:04:27,120
UNN in July nineteen eighty five. Is it true that
63
00:04:27,160 –> 00:04:30,079
he deposed in a Federal High Court filing in Abuja
64
00:04:30,160 –> 00:04:33,399
that he was not issued any degree certificate by UNN
65
00:04:33,480 –> 00:04:36,360
and if so, how did he come about the degree
66
00:04:36,399 –> 00:04:40,040
certificate he presented to the Senate. Is it also true
67
00:04:40,079 –> 00:04:43,160
that while he claims to have graduated in July nineteen
68
00:04:43,240 –> 00:04:47,120
eighty five, he applied to the university to retake virology
69
00:04:47,360 –> 00:04:51,519
course code MCB four hundred thirty one in the September
70
00:04:51,600 –> 00:04:56,879
nineteen eighty five. Supplementary examination having failed the course. Is
71
00:04:56,920 –> 00:05:00,240
it also true that the university in a November eight, eighth,
72
00:05:00,319 –> 00:05:03,600
nineteen eighty five letter in form Duchain Naji that he
73
00:05:03,680 –> 00:05:08,319
again failed Virology course Code MCB four hundred and thirty
74
00:05:08,360 –> 00:05:12,240
one in the supplementary examinations, but could register to retake
75
00:05:12,279 –> 00:05:16,160
the course in the June nineteen eighty six examinations provided
76
00:05:16,199 –> 00:05:19,759
he paid an examination fee of four niras four nyra.
77
00:05:20,639 –> 00:05:23,639
Is it true that on January third, nineteen eighty six,
78
00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:28,199
he again applied to retake the Virology course Code MCB
79
00:05:28,399 –> 00:05:32,519
four hundred and thirty one examination in June nineteen eighty six,
80
00:05:33,079 –> 00:05:35,600
stating in his letter that the received for the payment
81
00:05:35,680 –> 00:05:39,800
of the four niras four nyra reset fee had been attached.
82
00:05:40,560 –> 00:05:42,560
Is it true that, while he claims to be in
83
00:05:42,600 –> 00:05:46,519
possession of a university degree, he only submitted his secondary
84
00:05:46,519 –> 00:05:51,439
school WASC certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission i
85
00:05:51,639 –> 00:05:55,959
NEC for his participation in the twenty twenty three governorship election.
86
00:05:56,839 –> 00:06:00,160
Why did uchen Naji’s proxy state at the Abouja press
87
00:06:00,199 –> 00:06:05,160
conference that the minister graduated while avoiding stating categorically that
88
00:06:05,199 –> 00:06:08,759
he was issued a degree certificate. Did he also present
89
00:06:08,800 –> 00:06:12,959
a purported NYSC discharge certificate showing that he commenced his
90
00:06:13,120 –> 00:06:17,279
National service in April nineteen eighty five, three months before
91
00:06:17,319 –> 00:06:21,319
his supposed graduation, and served until July nineteen eighty six,
92
00:06:21,720 –> 00:06:25,240
an unusual duration of thirteen months instead of the usual
93
00:06:25,319 –> 00:06:29,680
twelve months of national service. Whereas the CEO of the
94
00:06:29,839 –> 00:06:32,720
NYSC at the time he claimed to have undergone the
95
00:06:32,800 –> 00:06:36,879
national service was Colonel ed A Akpan January nineteen eighty
96
00:06:36,920 –> 00:06:42,319
four to December nineteen eighty seven, Huchennig’s NYSC discharge certificate
97
00:06:42,439 –> 00:06:46,639
was signed by Colonel Anamashawan Brimo, who was NYSC CEO
98
00:06:46,839 –> 00:06:51,120
from January nineteen eighty eight to December nineteen ninety. Is
99
00:06:51,160 –> 00:06:55,279
it true that NYSC certificates issued up till October nineteen
100
00:06:55,360 –> 00:06:59,439
ninety had six digit numbering devoid of alphabetic characters, but
101
00:06:59,600 –> 00:07:04,240
uche Naji’s discharge certificate supposedly issued in nineteen eighty six
102
00:07:04,600 –> 00:07:07,680
was numbered A two three one three zero nine, which
103
00:07:07,680 –> 00:07:11,800
includes the alphabet A and above all, is it a
104
00:07:11,839 –> 00:07:14,240
fact that he deposed to an affidavit in the suit
105
00:07:14,279 –> 00:07:17,160
he filed in court, the unn did not issue him
106
00:07:17,160 –> 00:07:21,439
any certificate and if that is the case. Nigerians want
107
00:07:21,519 –> 00:07:24,120
to know how he came about the certificate he submitted
108
00:07:24,120 –> 00:07:26,399
to the Senate of his own free will in twenty
109
00:07:26,480 –> 00:07:31,360
twenty three. These are the clarifications Nigerian’s earnestly yearned four
110
00:07:31,680 –> 00:07:34,639
and Chief Uchennaji is urged to brave up to clear
111
00:07:34,680 –> 00:07:38,199
his name if he is truly innocent rather than trading blames,
112
00:07:38,519 –> 00:07:43,519
Nebo stressed. Daily Post newspaper had reported that an Abuja
113
00:07:43,560 –> 00:07:46,439
Federal High Court has rejected a bid by the Minister
114
00:07:46,560 –> 00:07:51,399
of Innovation, Science and Technology huch Naji to stop the
115
00:07:51,519 –> 00:07:57,199
University of Nigeria in Suka UNN from releasing his academic records.
116
00:07:57,720 –> 00:08:04,079
The Minister of Education, National Universities Commission nuc UNN, the
117
00:08:04,240 –> 00:08:08,000
university’s vice Chancellor, its registrar and the Senate of the
118
00:08:08,040 –> 00:08:12,199
institution were listed as respondents in the suit. An application
119
00:08:12,360 –> 00:08:15,680
for interim injunction filed by the Minister’s lawyer asked the
120
00:08:15,720 –> 00:08:18,720
court to restrain the respondents from acting on a request
121
00:08:18,759 –> 00:08:23,600
for release of his academic records. However, Justice Houser Yil
122
00:08:23,639 –> 00:08:27,120
were turned down the application. The minister had prayed the
123
00:08:27,160 –> 00:08:29,720
court for an order granting leave to the applicant to
124
00:08:29,800 –> 00:08:33,000

00:08:37,440 –> 00:08:41,320
Senate of that school from tampering with or continuing to
127
00:08:41,399 –> 00:08:45,879
tamper with the applicants academic records at UNN. The Minister
128
00:08:46,000 –> 00:08:48,759
also prayed for an order granting him leave to issue
129
00:08:48,799 –> 00:08:52,799
the prerogative writ of mandamus compelling the third, two, fifth,
130
00:08:52,799 –> 00:08:55,679
and the seventh respondents to release to him his academic
131
00:08:55,720 –> 00:08:59,919

132
00:09:00,159 –> 00:09:03,159
granting leave to the applicant to issuing the prerogative writ
133
00:09:03,200 –> 00:09:06,840
of mandamus, compelling the first and second respondents to ensure,
134
00:09:07,360 –> 00:09:11,440
utilizing their supervisory and disciplinary powers, that the third to

00:09:11,759 –> 00:09:14,720
fifth and the seventh respondents released to the applicant is
136
00:09:14,759 –> 00:09:19,480

00:09:19,480 –> 00:09:23,279
interim order of injunction restraining the third to fifth and
138
00:09:23,360 –> 00:09:26,960

the applicants’ academic records at the University of Nigeria in Succa,
140
00:09:31,720 –> 00:09:36,519
pending the determination of the substantive suit in rejecting the application.
141
00:09:36,679 –> 00:09:39,960
After listening to the council. The judge held, I have
142
00:09:40,080 –> 00:09:43,639
therefore perused the thirty four paragraph affidavit and the sixth
143
00:09:43,679 –> 00:09:47,639
paragraph affidavit of urgency deposed to buy the applicant the
144
00:09:47,679 –> 00:09:51,399
grounds upon which this application is made, the exhibits attached
145
00:09:51,399 –> 00:09:54,720
there to, and the further affidavit of six paragraphs deposed
146
00:09:54,720 –> 00:09:58,480
to buy Martin Luther Acawi. I have equally considered the
147
00:09:58,480 –> 00:10:03,840
written address of Council. I shall therefore refer to paragraphs fifteen, sixteen,
148
00:10:04,240 –> 00:10:08,879

151
00:10:16,240 –> 00:10:19,480
the further affidavit. I’m of the humble view, from the
152
00:10:19,519 –> 00:10:24,000
facts deposed in the affidavits alongside the exhibits attached, that
153
00:10:24,039 –> 00:10:26,679
the applicant has sufficient interest in the matter to which
154
00:10:26,720 –> 00:10:33,240
this application relates. Thus this application is meritorious. Consequently, I
155
00:10:33,279 –> 00:10:37,559
hereby grant Prayer one, two and three only Prayer four
156
00:10:37,759 –> 00:10:41,679
is declined having been refused. The granting of reliefs one
157
00:10:41,919 –> 00:10:45,200
to three shall not serve as injunctive reliefs against any
158
00:10:45,240 –> 00:10:49,480
of the parties. UNN had disowned the Minister’s certificate in
159
00:10:49,519 –> 00:10:53,440
a letter addressed to Premium Times written by the Vice Chancellor,
160
00:10:53,679 –> 00:10:58,240
Professor Simon Autunie. In the letter dated October two, twenty
161
00:10:58,320 –> 00:11:01,799
twenty five, the Universe City maintained that the Minister did
162
00:11:01,840 –> 00:11:05,480
not complete his studies. We refer to your letter dated
163
00:11:05,480 –> 00:11:09,039
the twenty ninth of September twenty twenty five in respect
164
00:11:09,039 –> 00:11:12,600
of the above subject matter. We can confirm that mister
165
00:11:12,679 –> 00:11:17,120
Jeffrey Uchecha ku Naji, with Matriculation number one thousand, nine
166
00:11:17,240 –> 00:11:20,679
hundred and eighty one thirty thousand, seven hundred and twenty
167
00:11:20,720 –> 00:11:24,720
fifths was admitted by the University of Nigeria in Soucca
168
00:11:24,759 –> 00:11:29,080
in nineteen eighty one. From every available records and information
169
00:11:29,240 –> 00:11:33,159
from the University of Nigeria in Succa, we are unable
170
00:11:33,200 –> 00:11:37,240
to confirm that mister Jeffrey Uchecha Kunaji, the current Minister
171
00:11:37,320 –> 00:11:41,480
of Science and Technology, graduated from the University of Nigeria
172
00:11:41,600 –> 00:11:45,000
in July nineteen eighty five, as there are no records
173
00:11:45,000 –> 00:11:48,159
of his completion of study in the University of Nigeria
174
00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:53,840
in Succa. Flowing from above, the University of Nigeria INSUCCA
175
00:11:53,840 –> 00:11:56,919
did not and consequently could not have issued the purported
176
00:11:57,000 –> 00:12:00,519
certificate or at all in July nineteen eighty five to
177
00:12:00,559 –> 00:12:04,360
mister Jeffrey mucheccha Ku Naji, the current Minister of Science
178
00:12:04,399 –> 00:12:08,519
and Technology. This conclusion is also in consonance with an
179
00:12:08,519 –> 00:12:12,960
earlier letter dated May thirteenth, twenty twenty five, reference number
180
00:12:13,360 –> 00:12:17,600
run sr r V, issued by the university to the
181
00:12:17,600 –> 00:12:21,399
Public Complaints Commission in respect of the same subject matter.
182
00:12:21,639 –> 00:12:22,440
Copy attached.

00:12:22,639 –> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: Ortunia wrote, Lady Quindi Guinimo, Princess Ola Tourrea, Maje Kadonmyneru
184
00:12:33,440 –> 00:12:36,320
from Ogan State and a Commonwealth Award winner who is
185
00:12:36,360 –> 00:12:39,440
currently pursuing a Master degree in Law, has called on
186
00:12:39,519 –> 00:12:43,000
the Federal Government of Nigeria, under the leadership of President
187
00:12:43,080 –> 00:12:47,960
Bola Ahmed Tanubuta, immediately release the detained Biafra Republic Agitation
188
00:12:48,120 –> 00:12:52,840
leader Marzi Namdikanu, stating in a statement personally signed and
189
00:12:52,919 –> 00:12:55,399
made available to media Newsroom.
190
00:12:54,960 –> 00:12:58,879
Speaker 1: On Monday, that ten years of detention without conviction is
191
00:12:58,919 –> 00:13:02,559
a grave violation of the fundamental human rights of Marsi
192
00:13:02,639 –> 00:13:07,879
Namdicanu specifically stated verbatim that the continued detention of mister
193
00:13:08,720 –> 00:13:12,360
Karnu without conviction is not merely a legal anomaly. It
194
00:13:12,480 –> 00:13:15,480
is a profound failure of justice and a grave violation
195
00:13:15,600 –> 00:13:19,679
of his fundamental human rights. His prolonged detention exposes the
196
00:13:19,720 –> 00:13:24,679
widening gap between Nigeria’s constitutional expectations and the daily realities
197
00:13:24,720 –> 00:13:27,879
of citizens. We must have a justice system that acts
198
00:13:27,919 –> 00:13:31,320
with both fairness and decisive strength, not one ensnared in
199
00:13:31,480 –> 00:13:35,960
endless procedural limbo and mired in public distrust. According to
200
00:13:36,039 –> 00:13:40,200
the Princess, across the span of a decade, Marsi Namdicaru
201
00:13:40,279 –> 00:13:43,159
has endured one of the longest and most troubling pre
202
00:13:43,279 –> 00:13:48,919
trialed attentions in Nigeria’s history. Arrested in twenty fifteen, accused,
203
00:13:49,200 –> 00:13:53,200
pleading not guilty and never convicted, he remains confined in
204
00:13:53,240 –> 00:13:57,039
a blatant defiance of the most fundamental human rights principles.
205
00:13:57,759 –> 00:14:01,759
Whereas justice when a man stands uncer convicted for ten years,
206
00:14:01,799 –> 00:14:06,360
while those charged with upholding justice remains silent. The continued
207
00:14:06,399 –> 00:14:10,159
detention of mister Karnu without conviction is not merely a
208
00:14:10,240 –> 00:14:13,519
legal anominee. It is a profound failure of justice and
209
00:14:13,559 –> 00:14:18,039
a grave violation of his fundamental human rights. His prolonged
210
00:14:18,039 –> 00:14:23,200
detention exposes the widening gap between Nigeria’s constitutional expectations and
211
00:14:23,240 –> 00:14:27,120
the daily realities of citizens. We must have a justice
212
00:14:27,120 –> 00:14:30,679
system that acts with both fairness and decisive strength, not
213
00:14:30,799 –> 00:14:34,679
one ensnared in endless procedural limbo and mired in public distrust.
214
00:14:35,559 –> 00:14:39,440
No charge, however grave, should ever eclipse the principle that
215
00:14:39,519 –> 00:14:44,399
every individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty. That principle
216
00:14:44,480 –> 00:14:47,519
is the very cornerstone of law and must never be broken,
217
00:14:47,919 –> 00:14:51,519
regardless of who holds power. As we call for Marzi
218
00:14:51,600 –> 00:14:55,679
Namdi Karnu’s immediate and unconditional freedom, my heart goes out
219
00:14:55,679 –> 00:15:01,600
to millions of Nigerians across tribal lines, generations, and economic classes,
220
00:15:01,960 –> 00:15:04,919
from Buenau to Kuara to Legos, crying out for help
221
00:15:04,960 –> 00:15:11,240
against armed violence, force displacement, demolitions, unlawful detentions, untimely deaths,
222
00:15:11,480 –> 00:15:16,720
and the persistent scarcity of life’s most basic necessities. Beyond politics,
223
00:15:17,080 –> 00:15:21,240
every life matters. Marsi Namdicano’s health and spirit are at
224
00:15:21,279 –> 00:15:25,320
grave risk after ten years behind bars without a proven crime.
225
00:15:26,120 –> 00:15:30,559
This declaration is an urgent proclamation. We will count every second,
226
00:15:30,919 –> 00:15:35,200
every hour every day and continue to galvanize until Marsi
227
00:15:35,279 –> 00:15:40,200
Namdicano is restored to his rightful freedom. Nigeria now stands
228
00:15:40,200 –> 00:15:43,000
at a cross of roads where history will judge the
229
00:15:43,039 –> 00:15:46,080
true motives of those in power. The eyes of the
230
00:15:46,120 –> 00:15:49,480
world are watching, and the conscience of the nation is restless.
231
00:15:50,200 –> 00:15:53,360
The promise of our democracy depends not only on acts
232
00:15:53,360 –> 00:15:55,840
of courage within the halls of power, but also on
233
00:15:55,919 –> 00:16:00,919
the bold, united actions of citizens. About Marzi Namdi Kanu
234
00:16:01,480 –> 00:16:06,759
Marzi Namdi Kru born in Issiama, Afara, Arbia State, Nigeria
235
00:16:07,200 –> 00:16:10,080
is a Nigerian born British citizen and leader of the
236
00:16:10,120 –> 00:16:15,519
Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB. He has long advocated peacefully
237
00:16:15,559 –> 00:16:19,480
for the recognition and protection of the political, economic, and

cultural rights of citizens of Nigeria’s southeast. He has never

00:16:23,960 –> 00:16:27,360
been convicted of any crime nor accused of any act
240
00:16:27,399 –> 00:16:33,039
of violence. His prolonged detention, despite serious legal questions surrounding
241
00:16:33,039 –> 00:16:37,000
his rendition and years of unbroken pre trial custody, remains
242
00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:41,600
a striking violation of due process under challenged to Nigeria’s
243
00:16:41,600 –> 00:16:47,759
constitutional and humanitarian commitments. Princesso la Torrera Maje Codunemanneru stated

00:18:07,920 –> 00:18:11,759
Speaker 1: Voladimir Zelenski, the President of Ukraine, may have given a
263
00:18:11,839 –> 00:18:15,000
clearer picture on how some companies are apparently aiding and
264
00:18:15,119 –> 00:18:18,559
making more money from the ongoing war in his country Ukraine,
265
00:18:18,960 –> 00:18:21,960
saying since the start of the war four years ago,
266
00:18:22,240 –> 00:18:26,839
some unnamed companies in the United States, US, United Kingdom,
267
00:18:27,319 –> 00:18:34,680
uk China, Germany, Taiwan, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, Republic Netherlands are
268
00:18:34,680 –> 00:18:39,359
producing components Russia under President Vladimir Putin is using to
269
00:18:39,400 –> 00:18:44,279
produce weapons of mass destruction to kill his people. This Zelensky,
270
00:18:44,359 –> 00:18:47,640
in his own words, said on Monday that in the
271
00:18:47,680 –> 00:18:50,799
fourth year of the full scale war, Russia continues to
272
00:18:50,839 –> 00:18:55,079
obtain components for producing weapons. During the massive combined strike
273
00:18:55,160 –> 00:18:58,559
on Ukraine on the night of October fifth, Russia used
274
00:18:58,599 –> 00:19:02,240
five hundred and forty nine time weapons systems containing one
275
00:19:02,319 –> 00:19:06,160
hundred and two thousand, seven hundred and eighty five foreign
276
00:19:06,200 –> 00:19:10,759
made components from companies in the United States, China and Taiwan,
277
00:19:11,079 –> 00:19:16,200
the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, the Republic of Korea,
278
00:19:16,519 –> 00:19:20,119
and the Netherlands. Nearly one hundred thousand, six hundred and
279
00:19:20,160 –> 00:19:22,920
eighty eight of foreign made parts were in the launched
280
00:19:22,960 –> 00:19:26,279
attack drones. About one thousand, five hundred were in a
281
00:19:26,319 –> 00:19:30,480
scandas one hundred and ninety two in Kinsel missiles and
282
00:19:30,599 –> 00:19:34,680
four hundred and five in calibers. Zelenski stated this in
283
00:19:34,720 –> 00:19:38,599
a statement made available through his personal social media profile
284
00:19:38,680 –> 00:19:41,720
on Monday, after about thirty people were injured as a
285
00:19:41,759 –> 00:19:44,680
result of the Russian attack on a moving passenger train,
286
00:19:45,039 –> 00:19:48,599
killing one person in Shoshka district of Ukraine on Saturday.
287
00:19:49,319 –> 00:19:53,839
According to Zelenski, Ukraine is preparing new sanctions against those
288
00:19:53,839 –> 00:19:56,880
who help Russia and its war, and we have communicated
289
00:19:56,920 –> 00:20:01,240
proposals to curb the supply schemes. Rodners already possessed the
290
00:20:01,319 –> 00:20:04,759
detailed data on each company and each product. They know
291
00:20:04,839 –> 00:20:08,319
what to target and how to respond. This week, the
292
00:20:08,440 –> 00:20:12,000
G seven sanctions coordinators will meet and we expect a
293
00:20:12,039 –> 00:20:15,559
systemic decision to ensure that the sanctions are truly effective.
294
00:20:16,279 –> 00:20:20,079
It is crucial to shut down every scheme that circumvents sanctions,
295
00:20:20,440 –> 00:20:24,039
because Russia uses each one to keep killing the world
296
00:20:24,079 –> 00:20:26,920
has the power to stop this. In the fourth year
297
00:20:27,000 –> 00:20:30,799
of the full scale war, Russia continues to obtain components
298
00:20:30,839 –> 00:20:35,319
for producing weapons. During the massive combined strike on Ukraine
299
00:20:35,319 –> 00:20:38,680
on the night of October fifth. Russia used five hundred
300
00:20:38,720 –> 00:20:42,759
and forty nine weapons systems containing one hundred and two thousand,
301
00:20:42,880 –> 00:20:47,279
seven hundred and eighty five foreign made components from companies
302
00:20:47,279 –> 00:20:53,240
in the United States, China and Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan,
303
00:20:53,559 –> 00:20:58,400
the Republic of Korea, and the Netherlands. Nearly one hundred thousand,
304
00:20:58,440 –> 00:21:01,000
six hundred and eighty eight of five foreign made parts
305
00:21:01,000 –> 00:21:04,400
were in the launched attack drones, About one thousand, five
306
00:21:04,480 –> 00:21:07,319
hundred were in a scandas one hundred and ninety two
307
00:21:07,440 –> 00:21:10,960
in Kinsel missiles and four hundred and five in calibers.
308
00:21:11,720 –> 00:21:16,160
In particular, companies in the United States manufacture converters for
309
00:21:16,240 –> 00:21:20,480
KH one hundred and one missiles and shad Erran type drones,
310
00:21:20,960 –> 00:21:24,559
senses for those UAVs and for Kinsel missiles, analog to
311
00:21:24,640 –> 00:21:29,279
digital converters for drones and missiles, and microelectronics for missiles.
312
00:21:30,000 –> 00:21:33,799
At least fifty different microelectronic components in each shard are
313
00:21:33,799 –> 00:21:38,519
produced in China and Taiwan. Micro Controllers for UAVs are
314
00:21:38,559 –> 00:21:42,640
made in Switzerland, while microcomputers for drone flight control are
315
00:21:42,680 –> 00:21:47,279
produced in the United Kingdom. Opto isolators for cruise missiles
316
00:21:47,319 –> 00:21:52,359
come from Japan, switching connectors from Germany. Russia also uses
317
00:21:52,440 –> 00:21:56,240
processes manufactured in the Netherlands and servo motors and bearings
318
00:21:56,319 –> 00:21:59,759
made in the Republic of Korea. In a separate statement,
319
00:22:00,200 –> 00:22:03,799
Zelensky said, since the start of the full scale invasion,
320
00:22:04,119 –> 00:22:07,960
the capacity of Ukraine’s defense industry has increased by tenfold.
321
00:22:08,680 –> 00:22:12,200
Our production potential for drones and missiles alone will reach
322
00:22:12,319 –> 00:22:16,680
thirty five billion dollars next year. Already, over forty percent
323
00:22:16,759 –> 00:22:18,920
of the weapons in use at the front are either
324
00:22:18,960 –> 00:22:22,759
made in Ukraine or produced with Ukraine, and the share
325
00:22:22,799 –> 00:22:26,559
of our weapons will only grow. The task for manufacturers,
326
00:22:26,920 –> 00:22:30,680
for the Government of Ukraine, for all institutions involved, is
327
00:22:30,680 –> 00:22:32,680
that by the end of the year, no less than
328
00:22:32,680 –> 00:22:35,240
fifty percent of the weapons at the front must be
329
00:22:35,319 –> 00:22:40,160
our Ukrainian weapons, and this task must be accomplished. We
330
00:22:40,240 –> 00:22:43,119
need funding to unleash our full potential, and we are
331
00:22:43,160 –> 00:22:46,200
working with every partner who can help make this possible.
332
00:22:46,880 –> 00:22:50,880
It is time to start exporting our Ukrainian weapons, those
333
00:22:50,920 –> 00:22:53,920
types we have in surplus and can therefore export to
334
00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:56,839
finance the types of weapons that are especially needed for
335
00:22:56,880 –> 00:23:00,799
our defense. I have already instructed the govern government, the
336
00:23:00,880 –> 00:23:04,440
Office and the Secretary of the National Security and Defense
337
00:23:04,519 –> 00:23:07,559
Council of Ukraine to develop and present the key elements
338
00:23:07,599 –> 00:23:10,960
of such an export system. The working title of this
339
00:23:11,039 –> 00:23:16,400
program is Zebroya. Our export product agreements are already in
340
00:23:16,440 –> 00:23:20,240
place to launch export import platforms in Europe, the United
341
00:23:20,240 –> 00:23:23,519
States and the Middle East. The task is to have
342
00:23:23,599 –> 00:23:27,279
these platforms operational by the end of the year. I
343
00:23:27,400 –> 00:23:31,279
said this during the International Defense Industry’s Forum, which we
344
00:23:31,319 –> 00:23:34,640
are opening for the third time in Ukraine today. On
345
00:23:34,759 –> 00:23:38,759
the recent attack in Shosko area of Ukraine, Zelensky said,
346
00:23:39,240 –> 00:23:42,799
Russia ignores or rebuffs literally every opportunity to end the
347
00:23:42,839 –> 00:23:47,000
war and guarantee security. Putin wants to wage it and
348
00:23:47,079 –> 00:23:54,000
do it by terrorist, despicable methods. Russia must feel the consequences. Europe, America,
349
00:23:54,359 –> 00:23:57,119
the G seven and the G twenty have the power
350
00:23:57,160 –> 00:24:01,079
to deal with any terrorist. A savage Russian drone strike
351
00:24:01,160 –> 00:24:05,920
on the railway station in Shoshka Sumi region, All emergency
352
00:24:06,039 –> 00:24:09,400
services are already on the scene and have begun helping people.
353
00:24:10,119 –> 00:24:14,079
All information about the injured is being established. So far
354
00:24:14,519 –> 00:24:18,519
we know of at least thirty victims. Preliminary reports indicate
355
00:24:18,599 –> 00:24:21,519
that both ut salized nature staff and passengers were at
356
00:24:21,519 –> 00:24:24,519
the site of the strike. The Russians could not have
357
00:24:24,640 –> 00:24:28,319
been unaware that they were striking civilians, and this is
358
00:24:28,440 –> 00:24:31,920
terror the world must not ignore. Every day Russia takes
359
00:24:31,920 –> 00:24:36,119
people’s lives and only strength can make them stop. We’ve
360
00:24:36,160 –> 00:24:39,759
heard resolute statements from Europe and America and it’s high
361
00:24:39,839 –> 00:24:43,039
time to turn them all into reality, together with everyone
362
00:24:43,039 –> 00:24:46,680
who refuses to accept murder and terror as normal. Lip
363
00:24:46,920 –> 00:24:51,000
service is not enough now, strong action is needed. Andrey
364
00:24:51,079 –> 00:24:55,119
sibaher Ukraine Minister of Foreign Affairs, also said that the
365
00:24:55,160 –> 00:24:59,240
attacks were targeted and deliberate Russian drone strikes on passenger
366
00:24:59,279 –> 00:25:04,000
trains in shop Oska Sumi region, not one, but two strikes,
367
00:25:04,039 –> 00:25:07,079
one after another. This is one of the most barbaric
368
00:25:07,160 –> 00:25:11,319
Russian tactics, the so called double tap, with the second
369
00:25:11,319 –> 00:25:15,880
attack hitting rescuers and people who are evacuating. Russian terrorists
370
00:25:15,960 –> 00:25:19,240
must get strong responses for this deliberate and brutal terror
371
00:25:19,279 –> 00:25:24,920
against civilians. Words are not enough, New devastating sanctions, new
372
00:25:25,000 –> 00:25:28,079
strengthening for Ukraine. This can be done and must be
373
00:25:28,160 –> 00:25:30,519
done to raise the cost of this war for Russia.
374
00:25:31,200 –> 00:25:34,599
Putin must feel the danger of continuing this war personally
375
00:25:34,640 –> 00:25:38,720
for him and his regime. Jan Lipevsky, Czech Minister of
376
00:25:38,759 –> 00:25:43,319
Foreign Affairs, while reacting to the attack in the Shostka community, said,
377
00:25:43,759 –> 00:25:47,240
while we are voting on Chechia’s security, Russia keeps showing
378
00:25:47,240 –> 00:25:50,559
the world its true face. The attack on the train
379
00:25:50,680 –> 00:25:53,359
running from Shostka to Kiev is yet another proof of
380
00:25:53,400 –> 00:25:57,839
its barbarity and state terrorism orchestrated by the Kremlin. My
381
00:25:58,000 –> 00:26:01,079
thoughts are with all those injured and their love. But
382
00:26:01,680 –> 00:26:06,759
Victor Viktop, a commentator, in his analysis, said that Zelensky
383
00:26:06,880 –> 00:26:10,000
claimed that Russia allegedly targeted a passenger train at the
384
00:26:10,000 –> 00:26:14,039
Shoska railway station. There is video of the strike, but
385
00:26:14,200 –> 00:26:18,000
upon closer inspection, there was no mention of any passengers.
386
00:26:18,759 –> 00:26:21,880
The footage shows the strike hitting a diesel locomotive and
387
00:26:21,920 –> 00:26:26,000
a freight train loaded with containers immediately behind it. Video one.
388
00:26:26,799 –> 00:26:30,000
It looks like a typical military train. There are no
389
00:26:30,480 –> 00:26:35,359
pure passenger trains. Yes, one car looks similar, but the
390
00:26:35,400 –> 00:26:38,359
rest of the train is filled with containers. Photo ie.
391
00:26:39,200 –> 00:26:43,640
Most likely this single passenger train was used to protect
392
00:26:43,640 –> 00:26:47,759
the cargo, a common practice when military transport is disguised
393
00:26:47,759 –> 00:26:51,599
as civilian. Now, let’s look at the schedule. No passenger
394
00:26:51,640 –> 00:26:55,359
trains departed from Shostka today. The last train was on
395
00:26:55,440 –> 00:26:58,599
October third, and the next one won’t be until the fifth.
396
00:26:59,000 –> 00:27:01,880
So it’s logical assumed that there simply couldn’t have been
397
00:27:01,920 –> 00:27:06,160
any peaceful passengers there. The free movement of military cargo
398
00:27:06,279 –> 00:27:10,279
across Ukraine has ended. Russia has finally started doing what
399
00:27:10,359 –> 00:27:11,279
it’s supposed to do.
400
00:27:13,519 –> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: Possas huarandi, bring in your nice in a mortgages A win. Possashuiandi,
401
00:27:20,319 –> 00:27:23,359
bring in your nice in a mortgages our win.
