degraded, and, i emphasized this many times, not through our fault. the anti-russian propaganda campaign, in which very senior european figures are participating, is accompanied by speculation that russia is allegedly planning to attack europe. i have spoken about this many times, in this room there is no need to repeat it many times, everyone, we all understand that this is absolute nonsense, only justification.

sanctions against them are introduced after against economic operators in europe, they are imposed for a sweet soul without any embarrassment, now are forced to increase arms supplies to ukraine and expand their capacity for the production of artillery shells. listen, who will need these shells when the conflict in ukraine ends? how can this ensure the military security of europe? i do not understand. the us summits are investing

in military technologies, and in the technologies of tomorrow, in space, in modern drones, in strike systems based on new physical principles, that is, in those areas that in the future will determine the nature of armed struggle, and therefore the military-political the potential of powers, their positions in the world, and this is now given the following role: invest money where we need it, but this doesn’t... increase the potential of any european, well, god bless them, even if for us, maybe it’s and that’s good, but in essence this is the case, if europe wants to maintain itself as one of the independent centers of global development of the cultural and civilizational fields of the planet, it certainly needs to be in good, kind relations with russia, and the main thing is that we are ready for this , to this really simple...

an obvious thing, this thing was perfectly understood by politicians of a truly pan-european and global scale, patriots of their countries of people who thought in historical categories, and not extras who follow someone else’s will and prompting, charles de gaulle spoke a lot about this in the post-war years, i remember well and the same way in 1991 during a conversation in which i had the chance to personally participate. as for the united states itself, the ongoing attempts of the liberal-globalist elites ruling there today to use any means to spread their ideology throughout the world, maintain their imperial status, their dominance. only increasingly depletes

the country, leads it to degradation, and comes into clear conflict with the true interests of the american people, if not for this... dead-end path, aggressive messianism, complicit belief in one’s own chosenness and exclusivity, international relations would have been stabilized long ago. third, to promote the idea of ​​a eurasian security system, it is necessary to significantly intensify the dialogue process between those already working, multilateral organizations operating in eurasia. we are talking primarily about a union state, the organization of a collective security treaty.

fourth, we believe that the time has come to begin a broad discussion of a new system of bilateral and multilateral guarantees of collective security in eurasia. at the same time, in the future it is necessary to work towards a gradual reduction in the military presence of external powers in the eurasian region. we understand, of course, that in the current situation this thesis may seem unrealistic, however this is now, but if we build a reliable security system in the future, there will simply be no need for such a presence of extra-regional military contingents, and by and large, to be honest, today there is no need to pay for it. ultimately, we believe that the state and regional structures of eurasia themselves must determine specific areas of cooperation in the field of joint security. we proceed from the fact that we ourselves must also build, based on the fact that

we ourselves must build a system of working institutions, mechanisms, mechanisms agreements that would really serve the achievement of common goals. in this regard , we support the initiative of our belarusian friends to develop a program document, a charter for multipolarity and diversity in the 20th century. it can formulate not only the framework principles of eurasian architecture, based on the basic norms of international law, but, in a broader sense, a strategic vision of the essence, nature of multipolarity and multilateralism as a new system. international relations, replacing the western-centric world. i think it is important and i ask you to thoroughly study such a document with our partners and with all interested states. i will add that when discussing such complex, complex

issues, of course, we need maximum broad representation and consideration of different approaches to positions. fifth, an important part of the eurasian security and development system, of course.

mischief, theft, will certainly remain theft and will not go unpunished on the other side, but the question is even deeper, having stolen russian assets, they will take another step towards the destruction of the system that they themselves created

and which ensured their prosperity for many decades, allowing them to consume more than they earn through debts and obligations. attract money from all over the world. now it becomes obvious to all countries and companies and sovereign funds that their assets and reserves are far from safe, as in the legal world. so in the economic sense of the word, the next in line for expropriation by the united states and the west could be anyone, these funds, foreign states could be them. and already now there is growing distrust in the financial system based on western reserve currencies, and there has been an outflow of funds from securities and debt obligations of western states, as well as some european banks. which until recently were considered an absolutely reliable place for storing capital, now

gold is already being exported from them, and we are doing the right thing. i believe that we need to seriously intensify the formation of effective and safe bilateral and multilateral foreign economic mechanisms, alternative to those that control west. this, among other things, involves expanding payments in national currencies, creating independent payment systems and building production. from household chains , bypassing channels blocked or compromised by the west, and of course, it is necessary to continue efforts to develop international transport corridors in eurasia, a continent of which russia is the natural geographical core. through meade, i instruct you to facilitate the development of international agreements in all these areas as much as possible. they are extremely important for strengthening economic cooperation.

i want to say right away that the crisis associated with ukraine is not a conflict between two

states, not a conflict between two states, especially two peoples, caused by some problems between them, if this were the case, then there is no doubt that the russians and ukrainians, united by a common history , culture, spiritual values, millions of related family and human connections, would find a way to fairly resolve any... issues and disagreements, but business, business the situation is different: the roots of the conflict are not in bilateral relations, the events in ukraine are a direct result of the world and european development of the late twentieth, early 21st centuries, that aggressive, unceremonious and absolutely adventurous policy that the west has pursued and is pursuing all these years long before how the special military operation began. these... the elites of western countries, as i already said, today after the end of the cold war, as i already

said today, after the end of the cold war, set a course for further geopolitical restructuring of the world, the creation and the imposition of the notorious order based on rules into which strong, sovereign and self-sufficient states simply do not fit, hence the policy of containment of our country, its goals of this policy are already openly declared by some... in the usa and europe. today they are talking about the notorious decolonization of russia. in essence, this is an attempt to provide an ideological basis for subdividing our fatherland along national lines. well, actually, the dismemberment of the soviet union, russia, it has been said for a long time, everyone sitting in this the hall knows this well. implementing this strategy, western countries took the line of absorption and military-political development of territories close to us. five took place. and now there are six, a wave of nato expansion. they tried to turn

ukraine into their springboard, to make it anti-russian. to achieve these goals, they invested money and resources, bought politicians and entire parties, rewrote history and educational programs, fed and nurtured groups of neo-nazis and radicals, did everything to undermine our interstate connections, disconnect, pit against each other. our peoples, to carry out such a policy even more brazenly, unceremoniously, was prevented by the south-east of ukraine, territories that for centuries were part of a large and... historical russia, people lived there, and still live, who, including after the declaration of independence ukraine in 1991 stood for good, closest relations with our country, people and russians, ukrainians, representatives of different nationalities, who were united by the russian language, culture, traditions, historical

memory, position, mood, interests and voices of these... these people, millions of people who live in the southwest, were simply forced to take into account, take into account the then ukrainian presidents, politicians who fought for this post, used the voices of these voters, but using these votes, they wriggled out, then maneuvered, lied a lot, talked about the so -called european choice, did not dare to go. for a complete break with russia, because the southeast of ukraine was configured differently, it was impossible not to take this into account; such duality has always been inherent in the ukrainian government throughout all the years after independence, recognition of dependence. the west, of course, saw this, it saw for a long time, understood the problems that exist there and that can be stirred up, raised

the deterrent, raised the deterrent importance of the south-eastern factor, as well as the fact that... most people in the south-east of ukraine, wipe out of them, including from the younger generations, a good attitude towards russia, a sense of our historical community, therefore again decided to act by force, just break the people in the southeast, don’t care about their opinions. for this purpose they arranged, organized, financed, of course, took advantage of difficulties and complexities of an internal political nature, but in ukraine, but still consistently and purposefully, they prepared an armed coup d’etat. the cities of ukraine were overwhelmed by a wave of pogroms, violence, and murders. power in kiev has already been completely seized and usurped

by the radicals. their aggressive nationalist slogans, including the rehabilitation of nazi there were henchmen. elevated to the rank of state ideology, the policy of abolishing the russian language in the state and public spheres was proclaimed, the pressure on orthodox believers to interfere in the affairs of the church increased, which ultimately led to a schism, no one seems to notice this interference, as if it were so necessary, try to do something else somewhere, there will be so many artistic whistles that your ears will fall off, but there you can. because against russia, millions of residents of ukraine, first of all, her eastern regions, opposed the coup in, as you know, they began to be threatened with reprisals, terror, and above all, the new authorities in kiev began to prepare a strike on the russian-speaking crimea, which at one time in 1900 54, as you know, was transferred from

the rsfsr to ukraine, in violation of everyone. the rules of law and procedures then in force in the soviet union. in this situation, of course, we could not stop leaving the crimeans and sevastopol residents without protection. they made their choice in march 2014, as is known, the historical reunification of crimea took place and sevastopol with russia. in kharkov, kherson, odessa, zaporozhye, donetsk, lugansk, mariupol, peaceful protests against the coup d'etat began to be suppressed. was untied.

the question immediately arises: in general, people could express their will in this way, they could declare their independence, but those sitting in this hall understand that of course they could, could, had every right and basis for this, and in accordance with international law, including the right of peoples to self-determination, you don’t need to be reminded, but nevertheless... since the media works, i will say that article one, paragraph two of the charter of the united nations gives this right, let me remind you that in this regard, the notorious kosovo precedent, many times...

started a war, but within the framework of a special military operation, that it is the aggressor, therefore, in including on its territory, attacks can be carried out on its territory, strikes can be carried out using western weapons systems,

ukraine is supposedly defending itself and can do this. once again i want to emphasize that russia did not start the war, it was the kiev regime, i repeat, after after the inhabitants of a part of ukraine declared their independence in accordance with international law, hostilities began.

once again they deceived, instead of a real peace process, instead of the policy of reintegration and national reconciliation, which they loved to talk about in kiev, donbass was shelled for 8 years.

they staged terrorist attacks, murders, and organized a severe blockade. all these years, residents of donbass, residents of donbass, women, children, old people, were declared second-class people, subhumans, they were threatened with reprisals, they say let’s come and get even with everyone, that this is like genocide in the center of europe in the 20th century, while in europe and the usa they pretended that nothing was happening. nothing, no one notices. at the end of the twenty-first, beginning of the twenty- second year, the minsk process was finally buried, buried, and kiev, its western patrons, again planned a massive strike against the donbass. a large group of ukrainian armed forces was preparing to launch a new offensive on lugansk and donetsk. of course, with ethnic cleansing and huge human casualties, hundreds of thousands

of refugees. we were obliged to prevent this catastrophe, to protect people, we could not make any other decision. russia finally recognized the donetsk and lugansk people's republics, because we did not recognize them for 8 years, we were still hoping to reach an agreement, the result is known, now on february 21, 2022, we concluded with these republics, which recognized a treaty of friendship for mutual assistance. the people's republics had the right to turn to us for support if we recognized their independence, and we had the right to recognize them independence, just as they had the right to declare theirs, their sovereignty, in accordance with the mentioned articles and decisions of the international, they had the right of independence, they had the right to declare independence, but if they had such a right, took advantage of it, then we had the right

to conclude an agreement with them. we did this, and i repeat, in full compliance with international law and with article fifty -one of the charter, at the same time we appealed to the kiev authorities with an appeal to withdraw their troops from donbass, i can tell you, we there were contacts and we immediately told them, get the troops out of there, that’s it, everything will end there, this proposal was immediately... practically rejected, simply ignored, although it had long given a real opportunity to close the issue peacefully. on february 24 , 2020, russia was forced to announce the start of a special military operation. addressing the citizens of russia, the residents of the donetsk and lugansk republics, the ukrainian society, he then outlined the purpose of this operation, to protect the people in donbass, restore peace, carry out demilitarization

and... our thought, respect the choice of donbass, the will of the people living there, withdraw the troops, stop the shelling of peaceful cities and towns, nothing more is needed, we will resolve the remaining issues in the future, the answer was: no, we will fight , it is obvious that this was exactly the command from the western masters, now i will also say this, at that time in march, in february-march of the twenty

-second year, our troops... as you know, approached kiev, this account is in ukraine, in the west, then there is now a lot of speculation that i want to say about this, our formations were really stationed in kiev, the military departments, the security bloc, there were different proposals on options for our possible further actions, but there was no political decision to storm the city of three million, no matter who said, speculated, or it was, in fact it was nothing more than...

and moscow.
