us, we don't like the question, what was his push ahead of the front clearing minds left by were tracing ukrainian soldiers. while the french president doubles down on coals to send troops to ukraine as fox conformity for trying to get nato allies on india say that stuffing up trade with russia in defiance of western pressure. we sit down to discuss the prospects with this flux pumps, and i've been to use a routing positive p b b, b, r dictation from device and board regarding russia or any other kind of people that might do. the week's top stories involve way kicks out the controversial usa

mission from the country off the washington's sanctions on the applicant dates licensed top officials. the i would welcome this is the weekly bringing you the latest news from across the globe along with around the, the stores the shapes the week. it's great to have you with us. i started the with the ukraine conflict. what most go sizes troops all as long as thing on the southern front of these i photos, the region, the russian defense industry has what he's supposed to be send today is clearing the ground from ukrainian mines and other munitions. the, the, [000:00:00;00]

the, it does with a fail unless this was taken as a trophy by a comrade roof during the advance on the same front. it's an american grenade, or we had those, and this is a german split to coordinate with someone for to the enemy mostly uses em. 70 mines . these are american mines. they are deployed remotely, approaching them is forbidden. just and so i mean you to a such remote mining affects the magnetic field of therefore such minds are the most difficult to destroy. and as you do not know how close you can approach them. therefore, if we have to use some new technologies of our own to know we can, we figure out how to destroy it, all those fonts that could deploy troops to ukraine if russian forces involves towards key f o, a desa that's according to the french president speaking behind closed doors with local policy leaders empowers this week earlier and monument quote and tried to wiley further. the politicians were a possible military intervention,

but it appears to be little appetite for that in neighboring germany. it seems that the whole do we are certainly approaching the time. and now europe, when we must not be cowards, we never want to see the dramas to come. the fact that war has returned to us soil . we want success powers that have become on stuff people are extending the threat every day. attacking us shows we have to be meet the challenge of history and match the courage it implies. so can you feel that can offer more? who is more coverage is who is more, whatever it is, not about them who wants to do more. you have to focus on that. this is what ukraine really needs the most. we don't need to really from my perspective, at least discussions about boots on the ground are be more often having more coverage or less coverage. this is something which does not really help solving the issues we have last month. wisdom of chrome sent shock waves across the west when

he said nato could send troops to ukraine, strong times, reports of a solid training it so just for a potential class with a powerful opponents. but the country, the allies in no rush to do the same with several states, hopefully saying they have no such plans of to be friends. going to double down on these calls, washington reiterate this refusal to put boots on the ground problems, words and then he certainly has every right inability to, to speak for himself and his views. all i can do is speak for president by a commander in chief and the president has been clear. we have been extraordinarily strong and leading international efforts to support you credit for the last 2 years . he's also been very clear since the very beginning of this war, there's not going to be us troops on the ground fighting. and so you create a, it also comes against the backdrop of an intercepted coal release by all t that revealed and explosive conversation between 12. a and generals,

they discuss plans to send the long range missiles to ukraine, to destroy watches, crime in bridge, but then admitted the coal was authentic, but has also tried to shift the blame. so the scandal to the crime then glued us, that's the telephone lot. in the reason that the phone call could still be recorded in the range of the air force is due to an individual application error. not all participants adhere to the secure dialing procedure as prescribed reviews for, according to current knowledge, data was leased from the participant, and single point of view is connected via and unauthorized connection i. e, virtually via an open connection. this is exactly what kootenai wants to achieve over the course of several months, or at least several weeks. she sets the agenda for what we're discussing here in germany. whether it is support for ukraine in one form or another. how successful ukraine is, whether it can win the war or not time and time again. this is an agenda imposed

from outside by certain events. i am very angry about this story among other things because we have been dealing with only this topic for 3 days. like i said, on monday, the gentleman and boss of that was summons to the russian to foreign ministry to offer an explanation. he declined to give any comments as he was swollen by journalists while entering the building. well then as being scrambling for damage control loss, police coal was released by all these editor in chief last week. never mind the full you in. that's 38 minute conversation. german forced off, including 2 generals, laid out that plans to send the tourist cruise missiles to ukraine. they discussed potential targets including the crime in which is that it would take thousands of missiles to bring it down. the verified coal also. so the mullin guys a how to ensure plausible deniability for berlin is so the commission also came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets,

the bridge in the east and the ammunition depos above the originally east is hard to reach. it's a rather small target, but the tourist can do it. the emulation depos can also be hit. we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us top of the conflict. might i'm exaggerating a bit, but if we tell the minister now that we plan meetings and we'll drive by call from poland and all so that no one notices that's already participation and we won't do that on monday. do you think it is possible to hope that ukraine will be able to do everything on its own right? after all, it is known that there are many people there in civilian clothes who speak with an american accent. meanwhile, a po, so that more gym and stave an end to the ukraine, conflicts through and negotiated settlement versus seeing the fighting drug as nice as activists when the countries free socks and the policy found a lawsuit against the military style. quote, white honda did not lakes conversation accusing them of trying to carry out

inactive aggression as a revelation, spread that around the world but, and has been struggling to contain the full out his aunty contributes the original mazda and stay. so it's real, the german government tells the western press the half hour long tape of germany's air force. chief, plodding with fellow military brass to deliver long range torres missiles to ukraine and blow up the crime in bridge in a way that gives chancellor off schultz plausible deniability is indeed authentic. they got caught wanting to launch themselves down the slippery slope towards direct more with russia, but ended up hitting a snag ripping their pants. and now their butts are hanging out for the entire world, the sea and the opposition. christian democrats are not keen on tossing. every one involves a bathrobe for modesty. the report so strange in 2 respects. on the one hand, security related conversations are obviously being overheard by the russians. on

the other hand, the chancellor may justify his rejection of taurus deliveries with a misrepresentation. the federal chancellor must explain himself to the bonus tag. in this situation, the committee of inquiry cannot be excluded so much for all that plausible deniability that was being built up in the boonies died recently with all that theater where sources government voted down and opposition resolution to specifically give you frame tours missiles only to then introduce their own motion instead that more vaguely specified long range weapons without explicitly mentioning the key word, defense minister boris. the stories didn't even know what was in that motion. he said, because, well, he didn't write, it may be, it includes torres is or maybe it doesn't. who knows? not the german defense minister. in any case, not that anyone with stopping schultz or pin stories or their government from explicitly outlined the transfer to ukraine of german missiles of exceptional 500

kilometer range capable of doing what it's french or british counterparts, couldn't. that is straight deep inside russian territory. apparently, they just couldn't be bothered explicitly writing it in and now german politicians are spelling out why perhaps they should have. you talked terms of legion bundeswehr offices with a gentleman through his me, solves torres and russian territory on the compatible with basic law. no, with international law, these madness must be stopped immediately. put in despair. generals are said to have made an assessment that the crime in bridge could be attacked with german taurus, missiles. the symbolic acts would drag germany deep into the war notes of torres delivery. the league effectively underscore as an unexplained discrepancy between army brass and what they're saying on one hand, what schultz has been saying publicly about not wanting in our school asian with russia over ukraine on the other. now the chancellor is demanding answers,

is just not very clear what exactly he's demanding answers to start. first of what is being reported, there is a very serious matter and that is why it is now being investigated. very careful, very intensively and very quickly that is also necessary. what's the more upset about the fact that his own military was plotting against what he claims are as explicit which is not to deploy tyrese's? and even more explicitly contemplating a terrorist act against russia or the fact that everyone now knows about at the bonus tag, special commissioner to the military. eva, whole goal from salts has very own social democrat party sunset. the week itself is the real outrage and that it's the guys in charge of keeping military communications secure that need comprehensive training, not the high ranking german officers whose bit bawling about blowing stuff up risk getting germany into yet another world war. the events of the last few days once

the game show how lot of them are poor doing is trying to have a mess of a negative influence or know, open society, especially in your money through these information destabilized station and spanish . yeah. maybe after they finish looking into how put in for part of the we blew up his own gas supply to germany, then they can tackle the big mystery of how put in hijacked the mines of german military officers for a plot to blow up his own bridge. my 1st reaction to that was total, discuss. they were just trying to turn the table around and the argument was, well this, there was the scandal is not the content. it's not the facts. with high ranking offices have total disregard for an international conventions. have to go through this or even for security regulations, how and where they're shopped, discuss such things. if they do, i know it's uh that the entire narrative. and the whole thing is, this,

the scandal is the russians are apparently a recording such conversations this, this from, from that perspective as the scandal and the defense minister historians stated last night. that's also these offices will not have any disciplinary measures. they will not be punished. maybe they will even be upgraded. uh, that's what i said, and that's there is so that the narrative has changed as no embarrassment. and so far we have not seen any embarrassment when it came from the german side or from the partition in all of these various steps of involvement. and over to the latest developments in the ukraine, conflicts of the number of statements, all nato troops being sent to the what was the us present joy by didn't misspoke time. the admitted the washington should have se balance of ukraine before quickly correcting himself. don't make some mistake. american. american made a mistake. we went after been logged to a job, but we shouldn't have gone into the training. how many we usually we should have

got into know the whole thing in a rack in afghanistan. it wasn't necessary. some a saying the bite and confused ukraine would have gotten a strong, he did not. he could no longer hold back what everyone understands that the united states has blood really embarrassed itself with the ukrainian project. western countries discouraged ukraine from signing a peace agreement with russia. that's the state been made by slogan and prime minister of at fits. so in his recent interview, he also stated that western tactics against russia on not working. he's a book which i'm it will do the demo. we are trying to open the topic of an immediate cease fire to stop fighting and the start of negotiations. i think it is better to portland to negotiating table for 10 years, then to leave the russians and ukrainians, killing each other for 10 years. the question is, once was, seems to me that the west is extremely supportive of this work. so this message originated in 2022 when some western countries discouraged ukraine from signing

a disagreement with russia saying, let's use the war and you, queen, to we can russia. let's give you queen military and economic 8. let's impose sanctions on russia and we can rush it internationally, politically, economically, and financially. it's not working. what has been going on for 2 years? we are learning that russia's tutorial gains are greater than ukraine's. there's huge number of dead soldiers wounded soldiers on both sides, having a rush, how he's doing well economically and politically present. putting has a lot of support. so perhaps we have the right to ask whether the strategy of the west is a good one. i argue that the west strategy and ukraine is not working at all. so what could i have lost is on the battlefield. seems to be pushing a growing number of people towards the negotiated solution to the conflicts and a recent in to be put from. so stay to that, it's time for ukraine to negotiate, to pay still, in my case, ok, april. 4th. i believe that the one who sees the situation is stronger than the one

who thinks of the people and has the courage to raise the white flag and to negotiate in the events today. it can be negotiated with the help of international powers. when you see that you are defeated, that things are not going well. you have to have the courage to negotiate, negotiate in time, look for some countries to act as a mediator, turkey 8, for example. don't be ashamed to negotiate before things get worse. while there's a lot of law and because of a majority of ukrainian being willing to negotiate with russia, a recent key of institute research posters that of a 70 percent agreed that the country should be seeking a diplomatic way to end the war as compared to a 2022. so they went only 59 percent of respondents believe that kids and most guys need peace talks. popular support for negotiations is not a growing but the new crate in society,

but also across the us. and europe. recent polls in europe suggested of a 40 percent of respondents agree the you should push your grade to negotiations with russia and to and the conflicts to us post just the nitty 70 percent of americans won't be bite and administration to encourage key up to end to pace talks with most of these numbers, suggested west and the public support, the credit is slowly but steadily decreasing. as the conflict strikes on, the french president a monument crone has reported the said there is no red line, and the ukraine conflicts claiming that there is no limits when it comes to back in k of is not the 1st such statement from a crown who earlier discussed the possibility of sending weston troops to ukraine and was made to box by the polish foreign minister who came to sending nato troops to ukraine, his quote notes on thinkable. that's no cost a lot as to discuss this with the ads, political analyst, and nicholas and the $20.00 thanks for joining us on the program. it's good to see

you. so what are your thoughts festival on biden's race in statement about us involvement in new trade. him and it is very likely that he missed both. but could it be revealing about the us starting from the conflict? do you think i in the united states are responsible for the catastrophe that ukraine is going through? we're going to stop forget that the us find mass, i'm not even was even president in you. great. before the end of the soviet union has finance and juice has way to to that with you were made in a demonstration which led to, to acquitted a tough and which led to all this mess with the civil war between ukrainians that we tend to forget here in the, in the west, and now it's transformed into a quagmire and the us doesn't want to handle it anymore. and we see that a lot of people have us out of americans who just don't understand why their government is spending billions and billions of taxpayers money into this for which is not a success. and all the rhetoric coming out of washington coming out of the new concept, victoria news and blink and bided are just not working. and we see that a couple of months ahead of the,

of the elections in the united states advised as lost in the us. so instead of washington, depending on their own loss, and they don't know what, what to do with actually they, they started up and ukraine except that the problem is which one is much more difficult to be sending you credit because it's all russians border and rushes involved and the whole world is looking at it, it's much more complicated to manage business than it was managing afghanistan, iraqi with saga sierra, which, sorry, i mean, i was a message organized by the united states, but many people weren't as interested as they are now because this is having an immense effect on the economies of other people in the world. so once again, i think with the finger pointing has to be oriented towards the washington wood shop which is responsible for the situation. and that they just don't know what to do with it. like they didn't know with many of similar situations in the past, and it's a invest expose confidence. it seems like we've reached a point where many people in the west are now aware of it because that, that the worries take it in a deciding to speak up and say,

now is time for negotiations. performance is being the latest example. what do you make of his recent statements in which he, on the lines k of the face ends? it proposes negotiations. the whole process is definitely a matter of peace. and i think he's speaking with a lot of common sense. anybody who is in favor of peace care, not whatever us, i would say side you're on or whatever your police are on this config. nobody can be enthusiastic at the size of a i would say that is this brother, brother is uh, fighting between the russians in new praise is really, which is it was i think reached over several 100 and thousands of a day. but i think it's very positive that maybe amount of piece kinda into the forefront of basing. now it's in time just to say, just to take out the white flag and negotiate piece. i mean, this is in the interest of everybody. and especially if we look at the sentiments in russia and new grades in, in the united states and the rest of the wrong many people, most people won't be. so why are we not advocating the 2nd, which is quite strange and awkward in this situation as this is

a conflict on european soil and we've got the po process beginning the names of millions and millions of questions. us wants peace. turkey was piece china, which is not a european nation, is advocating for peace. why are we in the west of europe in paris and burden in london doing everything to avoid the world? what am i speaking about war and the rhetoric of war? it's very bellicose rhetoric we're having to in western europe, but we do have prominent figures, important figures, and um, and other roles seen which are advocating for peace. i think it's time that our western eaters, in western europe and in the united states, listen to these a, these menus and women using commonsense who, who think that now it's time for us to stop and that ukraine take out the white flag as it is it shouldn't be a shame you didn't make them, but we're not just talking about kids to take up the white flag. they're losing, they should stop probably what, rubbing there at this stage because they're probably made will be more taxes for them in the months to come with a small, vague,

about 5 minutes to face. so as stated, the western countries have discouraged new crane from entering into a waving considering pace talks with russia. does this give more insights into the, into who controls a key of foreign policy? and do you think they might be changing that soon? anytime soon? i, of course, it, it does, and that's because our us, who as a prime minister of ukraine a several years ago, said that as the lensky was perfect. and let's not forget that he was elected by a majority of your guidance on his promise to get in ukraine, back. com to solve the path of peace. this is what the time it was. a civil war was withdrawn, best zaleski, putting the russians ukrainians discussed together in spring of 2022. they had broke a piece of ground and we've got a prominent figures from israel frontier to you from both countries. ukraine. none of us have width of knowledge. this and then we know now that for a johnson came all of a sudden unannounced and checked and said stop this. and we know that the west has

been telling a zalesky since that time you must continue the war with russia at a time. where is it? let us do was actually negotiating for a peace panic. and this tells a law on uh the, those are backing. is this the now they're telling him what to do? and he just a base. and today's the west, the west is that the origin, as we said at the beginning of this conversation, the west is that the origin of this conflict and they want this construct. they said it again, they don't wanna rush it when they want to damage restaurant this. i'm using just the words that they themselves are using, whether it's in paris, washington or whatever. and so they're doing everything so that there is this war. and i think zalesky, unfortunately because of what's right, he has a copy of the people from neither of the people from the west. don't want a multiple, this is world. want to keep the dominating western europe. they want to increase the domination. the to the point is that russia and damage rush and their objective is not peace is not stability is not, i would say better. it, it cannot. and

a better economic situation, social situation for us, all of us citizens of us. it's only damaging russia that's thrown a goal and we see it because concepts when it's risky to negotiate immediately he's losing that he will be using more in the weeks to come. so if he was free to wind up and go to negotiation table with moscow right now, i think when someone liked the pipe and decided to speak out and say, you know enough is enough. we need to negotiate to bring an ends to this 5 to a given system. hope that it will end soon, but then we have metering college law, some comments from the police department. as to for example, you're saying that nato troops are already present in ukraine. what are your thoughts on that admission? and we, we know this, they've nato troops have been a new credit since 2014 since the quoted time. this was the goal. they wanted with this quote, it went that you were made and they wanted to transform ukraine into an anti russian country. this is why there was this uh, civil war between ukrainians. and since that time,

we know that there was the presence of nato chosen. and we've even got pictures of the american senators of american generals been hodges giving out metals to create disorders before 2022. and now even the new york times, a couple of weeks ago just admitted that the c i had 12 bases where they were training ukrainian troops to ease drop on russia to re re, to break fundamental strategic, i would say information from us and even train commandos which are going to be fine, rush or not to, to, to attack russian assets. so this is the way there, i mean, we know, need to, has been on the ground port all the time. i think he's just a say the minister of defense of pulling interesting is now to justify sending more . and we also know the lot of the people who say the or mercenaries weren't actually, or are actually a military service man from the west side. some did, i think this is just a secret for me for mainstream media people for on the ground. been there know that there's a strong presence of,

of nato. nato is giving satellite information. nato is giving a lot of information on the russian military to ukraine. and we know that even some of the materials they know has been giving as to ukraine, can be managed by the train disorders because they don't have the tech. they don't have the training for they don't know how to do this. so when they don't members are already on the ground. the reason why my parents spoke about this above possibility that pull it again is speaking about this and admitting that they're already native. james is just for some people were just desperate to destroy russia, to find an excuse to, to send even more troops. they're just saying that to justify the sending more troops, thinking that this may damage even more russia. it's the, it's quite telling to see how race impulse within you create new societies suggest that the majority of those polled actually want to see it in to the war through negotiations. what do you make of these changing sentiments within you create itself? this is ukrainians. don't want this war they've been, they've been,

i would say not all of some of them. again, let's not forget that ukraine is a recent country. it's a complicated society. it's just, it's, it's, it's, it, it's, it's never wanted really the war and that's why they voted for. so let's keep, there's been a lot of manipulation as to the median. let's not forget that. so that's just not really the friends of democracy. you have the freedom of speech, his opposition has been bad. he, you set the jail where the prominent uh, because of the opposition and all media today is controlled by the state. i mean 7 concerning the war. so ukraine's there's had been ukrainians, have a filter considering the choose today's, but they don't want the war their, their boys are getting killed in this war and they're sitting there really just getting destroyed their economy is, is getting worse every day. they're only living on a i would say are from finance is coming from the wrong bank. the, the i m. s. the situation ukraine before the war was already a catastrophe. it was the poorest countries in europe even before the war,

assuming gotten worse. and that is not forget that millions and millions of ukrainians have fled the country because the situation, political situation, economic situation, social situation is, is a real catastrophe. and i think that the fact that these polls are saying that the ukrainians, wrong piece, and i think something is usually trimming positive. that if we really want to respect democracy, what we should maybe let the ukrainians themselves tell the way stop reading and our 1st stop advocating more between us that is good around the negotiation table. let's discuss, let's find a way out of this. let's take out the white flag as full process says, and that's go towards peace. i think everybody on location and every, anybody who's been to or so knows that i mean the sooner piece arises, the better it won't be for everybody. and so let's get you credit is one piece discussed in the name of the rest of you create enough these warmongers which are financed by the west. absolute name. anything specific interest today is good to

see you also on financial analyst at nicholas markovich. thank you. a thank you. stable um friendly, that's how india is. foreign policy chief has some relations with russia. i'm at the backdrop of western pressure of the ukraine conflict. everyone conducts a relationship based on past experiences. if i look at the history of placed independence, india, russia has never heard of our interest. we've always had a stable and very friendly relationship. and all relationship with moscow today is based on this experience. india is expanding to operation with russia despite west and sanctions against most of us on the u. officials as being quoting for approx down on indian enforce of russian commodities. like when exxon skids hang the tubes with the spokes person for india is rooting policy to be j. p. who broke down. how most go and new delhi doing business in defiance of the way the ratio patient is

a student and know you don't face all kinds of lives and then videos. right? yeah, we did for a, i mean, did for russia, the halls of victor, starting from defense starting from investment in problems starting from the investment in boy, starting the up into a way for us. yet the most important point in this is for india foreign policy. you may not russia hold of a very important please. e d. i will not be any pressure from the list. and board in the does not see any certificates or the patients from the rest of the work regarding it's at a time with russia or any other country for that matter. india will continue to do engage with russia to explore the photos active on energy off. i will call them off the cream of defense, which has to be got really for long. but i do specifically want to ask you about
