most likely, zoya used it, and ignat saw the fox and believed in what he wanted to believe.

here is your ticket. the train leaves in 2 hours.

only out of respect for your father, you will walk out of here to me in a suitcase. got it. well done. good boy good evening on the air big game the world is rapidly moving towards a new global economic crisis its basis is a sharp increase in energy prices and as a consequence of food and between these two factors a direct correlation of a hundred million people, especially in developing countries in the near future time to face the problem of hunger. the west , of course, blames russia for this, but the true cause of this crisis is itself and, above all, the hybrid war that it is waging against russia and, of course, includes an economic war about it. today

, russian president vladimir putin very accurately said listen to sanctions in many ways and provokes a global crisis, their authors, guided by short-sighted inflated political ambitions, russophobia, to a greater extent hit their own national interests for their own economies for the well-being of their citizens. we see this primarily in the sharp rise in inflation in individual countries. it has already come close to 20% per annum, and in the eurozone as a whole. commodity prices added over 11%. it is obvious that , due to objective economic laws , the continuation of the sanctions obsession, if i may say so, will inevitably lead to the most difficult and intractable consequences for the european union for its citizens, as well as for the poorest countries in the world, which are already facing the risks of famine. stressed guilt in

this lies entirely with the elites of western countries, who are ready to sacrifice the rest of the world in order to maintain their global dominance. well, it is obvious that these are difficult to reverse, and the consequences that vladimir putin spoke about include for industrialization in the european union, a drop in the standard of living of the population due to inflation due to the rise in prices for both energy and food. and vladimir dmitrievich, taking into account these difficulties that the european union and the united states are already facing although they collide to a much lesser extent, and taking into account the problems that we see in terms of the adoption of the sixth package, and anti-russian sanctions, e, by the european union, given that biden's support rating is a record low in recent decades, and such

mainstream media like the new york times. they are already openly writing about sensions, that is, fatigue from sanctions. is it possible to say that the west has approached the limit of quality? on a qualitative increase in the sanctions policy and how much he himself can withstand here, uh, at least maintaining the sanctions that have already been imposed on russia, well, i would like to continue, firstly, what you said, really, just the other day, new figures on inflation in the usa for the month of april was expected to be 8.1%, probably, in fact it turned out to be 8.3. that is, in any case, these are record numbers for 40 years. uh, which the americans face. and i somehow already mentioned the figure of 35% increase in producer prices in europe, which is also in general record figures, uh,

definitely today. this is the obsessed sanctions, as the president said. it already represents such a kind of vicious circle when the start of sanctions provokes new new initiatives, and it seems to me. today, europeans are americans, they are just obsessed with their uh, decisions, nothing new. we can not see. we see only attempts even more sophisticated. uh, so let's say to limit the ability of russia to develop to receive well-deserved resources, cash receipts from the energy resources that we we deliver to the whole world a and unconditionally. this has the opposite effect. e in european countries, first of all and e, of course, the most acute problems are energy. uh, and so, it seems to me, so far, that this little somehow, uh, has received discussion uh in our press, but it seems to me that this very important one was signed. the decree is also literally on

holidays by the president regarding retaliatory sanctions against certain foreign companies, and, just the other day, a government decree was announced, in which there was a list of thirty one company. this is the former subsidiary of gazprom, which , so to speak, u got here, were under sanctions, what is the essence of what is in fact? these are the assets that germany tried to take from gazprom uh, completely uh, illegally, uh, they provided uh all the logistics of gas supplies, uh in europe and uh, as we can see, since these are still specific agreements, this is a commercial secret, so we can judge only by indirect signs, but a significant part of the possible long-term contracts. somehow connected with these companies and the exclusion of gazprom from the european market led to the fact that, apparently, the europeans expected to continue to exploit this, these contracts and this

infrastructure . uh, as even the germans themselves say surgical so to speak, so i tried, uh, i did. that's it, i made this decision and now, in general. the agenda is generally questions about the possible renegotiation of contracts and, in essence, putting forward new conditions for europe on the supply of gas and electricity, it seems to me that this once again proves that russia has something to answer. and uh, the most important thing is that this is a sanctions, so to speak, vulnerability. it's actually a double-edged sword, and yes, russia. hmm, shows a very high level of restraint in this matter. and uh, we see that the decisions are not made enough, so to speak, verified and uh , carefully, but nevertheless these decisions turn out to be painful. as for the economic problem in general, then, of course, we see this in the

example of other products that hmm turns out to be on the european market, so to speak, the plot flashed on the fields with rapeseed, but many environmentalists today are beginning to advocate that they generally reconsider plans for the use of such plant materials for the production of biofuels, because in fact the question is either nutrition, or, so to speak supply e with certain resources of vehicles. and even aviation transport, since there, for example, there is a backlash of gas, it is already separate, there flights have been transferred to volume. uh, biofuel, that's why the problem so complex, and if we assume that we live in the paradigm of the industry, there is four zero, in which, uh, there are, uh, information technology. uh, social networks, uh, industrial interns that consume a huge amount of

energy due to the fact that servers are working for it, then naturally it requires even more energy just to cool it. no, and uh, of course, these multiplier consequences, and they, uh, it seems to me, are far from always calculated by those politicians who, in general, apparently in they don't know much about economics, and even more so they don't get into these mercantile ties, but it seems to me that they really understand where they're creeping into, uh, the minister today. uh, for the german economy, robert habib just stated exactly what you were talking about, that these russian counter-sanctions against the former subsidiaries of gazprom are fraught with an even greater increase in gas prices for european consumers, respectively, there will be even more inflation. you correctly said that in the usa it is a record over the past 40 years, but in europe it is more than twice as high. and, by the way, speaking of those countries that have announced with great pomp,

for example, lithuania, that they are the first to refuse russian energy sources altogether. they are just you in the forefront. they just show the highest rates of inflation, uh, in uh in the european union, and from here the question arises. yeah, okay oil. and it can somehow be replaced, although with great damage to ourselves, again, precisely in terms of inflation in terms of price increases, but gas can not be replaced so quickly. here again i will give an example in germany, and recently it turned out that germany was trying to negotiate with kotar for a means of increasing supplies. uh, moreover, the conclusion of a long-term contract with qatar for the supply of lng did not work out. qatar did not agree to, those conditions that berlin tried to offer, respectively. and how do you assess the prospects for gas cooperation with the european union? and? is it possible in europe, in principle,

to abandon russian gas, as he again pompously stated about this and recently a on liana behr bog german foreign minister finding. in kiev, he said that we would reduce energy dependence on russia to zero and forever. these are empty words and and how can this threaten the european union? and is it possible, in principle, well, these are the words of a politician who, apparently, has to say something to somehow justify his actions. i will continue what you said about the negotiations with qatar. you understand, this is a very revealing situation, and the fact is that the europeans. well, in general, not only europeans, americans, too, they, in general, now they are in some kind of such, you know, well, i would not say a dead end, but in the crosshairs of some of them, as it were, in a vice on both sides on one side. and this is really a problem of replacing energy resources, because here is an example of gazprom’s subsidiaries, when sanctions were imposed by russia, it showed that shutdowns of electricity and gas infrastructure infrastructure lead

to the fact that in fact there is a question, but an increase in gas prices and supply problems. u in europe and uh, while they need to look. alternative, where it has been repeatedly said that in general such a volume of gas simply does not exist in the world, but on the other hand, others. so to speak, the other half of these vise consists, uh, completely. uh, good, probably, in terms of its goals and objectives of the program, uh, green economy, ecology, and so on, which is aimed at gradually changing the structure of the energy balance, but uh in such situations, it works like a vise, because e, what motivates qatar and not only qatar, this will be the motivation even of any oil or gas worker in order to supply today to europe or to another country in the world additional gas, or oil. i have to make an investment today. of course they are long-term costs, therefore, in fact, the cathars insist on a long-term contract. you will say that

now we don’t need more thanks, because we are again switching to increased, so to speak , the use of renewable production. cafe energy, why would i spend this money. uh, and when we see the statistics, so to speak, growth, uh, oil production gas and oil production of the same united states of america we see that to a large extent those wells that were previously drilled, but were mothballed, are being used. everything is different there. e, reasons, they are now starting to work again, that is, today the problem of new investments in the oil and gas industry in the world, but problematic due to the fact that e supports the problem of green economy, but on the other hand. they must inevitably exist, and before that, resources must be allocated. to do this, there must be long-term contracts to stimulate new investments, which, so to speak, would be adequate to the current situation. and from this

it will be very difficult for them to get out of this situation, and it is not even a question of figures for so many steam or so many cubic meters of gas there. you can replace them by numbers. yes , theoretically everything is possible. replace something somewhere somehow, but these are numbers, and we are talking about the real movement of resources, but in reality , the infrastructure of the same gas oil pipeline, which is fast, as it is built, cannot be changed in a day. well uh problem. in fact, it is global and the european union, it pays for its own decisions, but the developing countries of africa, the countries of the middle east, which are not to blame for the policy that the west is pursuing towards russia, and these countries are friendly russian countries, face much more serious difficulties. africa is one of of the most friendly continents to russia the middle east russia has the most extensive network of partnerships in the middle east vladimir alekseevich within the framework of the brix, he can be together with china, by the way,

today, as the deputy permanent representative. eh, china won also said that it is the western policy of the western sanctions that will not bring peace to ukraine, but will provoke, i quote, food energy and financial crises in the world. so , what should we do together with china and together with our brix partners in order, firstly, to strengthen relations with our friendly countries, which will now suffer more from the west and, secondly, maybe somehow will help solve their problem food security. well, firstly , you definitely need to agree with what you said with what you said, your chinese colleague, thanks to this vice, about which you said that yes, that is, in the vice of uh, in which the european union is located, and under the american oppression, but in fact, you can already say so, but hmm thanks to this, uh, the sanctions are not just an island. yes, they become many. acutely, that is,

they affect. eh, almost every country in the world. why does this lead to no good? can't lead to a recession in the global economy, huh? the fact that e is undermining the development of those very developing states that you have said is indisputable - we already see in many countries in turkey, for example, inflation of the order of 70% is already and this is just the beginning. and despite the fact that turkey has not joined the policy of sanctions against the united states, they insist that the turkish republic take this step and put pressure on it in every possible way, and so we can talk about many other countries, but the main question you asked. what to do against this background? that's inflation see 70%? what theft from the west of russian assets e, the emergence of artificial barriers of artificial dividing lines. well , uh, we're looking at europe. yes, in many ways, its economy is politics. both were very virtual. yes, there was real production,

for example, in germany it is still being preserved, let's see what will happen when they are not, if the europeans go to the adoption of the next package of sanctions, what will happen to the e-economy of europe, so against the backdrop of the virtuality of the west as such soap the united states debt bubble? yes. uh, the east can oppose this with reality, walking on the ground, not somewhere in the air there are services. it's good. uh, but in addition to services, there must be real production. real development. uh, the creation of some joint large projects that would develop humanity. this is what the east has always been strong. this can be transferred to both politics and the economy, the system of international relations itself. this is a set of elements of connection between them and the international political environment, if the environment in the west is so negative, which means that the epoch of the formation of the soup environment in the east is coming, as opposed to this negative environment back. from

how we will behave, what links we will build between elements between states. e will depend on this very environment. we can influence it, uh, and today, and in this regard, the answer is quite simple, but at the same time it is difficult, it is necessary to form as many connections with the strange east of a completely different type, uh, these can be large infrastructure projects joint we're looking and how the chinese colleagues are developing a network of different routes for movement. yes, goods and services from europe, but we can develop this partnership more actively with china. yes, this will contribute, among other things . but big big projects. we were able to create. uh, with turkey, the turkish stream project. we were able to create a blue stream project, uh, we are building a nuclear power plant in turkey, which is now the power of siberia

absolutely true, and major economic projects and major geopolitical projects today can and should unite us with countries, nor the west, this will give them and us the opportunity to develop. and they are waiting for initiatives, including, uh, from the russian side. uh, because china, of course, is very difficult, given its mutually acute dependence on the united states of america, but it is ready to accept russian initiatives. we have a strategic partnership with the post-soviet east, and we should not forget about our post-soviet brothers, with whom we can also build this cooperation. uh, whether it's the south caucasians or the countries of middle central asia, and the countries of central asia - this is the way towards india. and you need to remember about that very north, to form the yugiev , the corresponding projects. we certainly need to fully agree to intensify our political and economic relations with the bottom in every possible way, and because the

separation wall between russia and the west is getting higher, wider and stronger and a very important step in this direction, and i would say an important step not even a brick, but a large concrete block that complements this wall. e, today's decision on a the decision announced today about, but that finland and sweden will join nato, that this decision has been made, and today they said e, the president and prime minister of finland, the saulinists and san namarin, and is expected that sweden will announce this decision as early as, uh, next sunday. well, and ah, russia has, of course, already reacted. the russian foreign ministry announced that and in particular, this decision violates two agreements at once e with e, which bind to finland is a peace treaty, 19. by the seventh year, and following the results of the second world

war, and the russian-finnish treaty of the ninety- second year, as well, but here i have a question. igor yuryevich, after all, no one threatens sweden and finland at all and there is no one in the world, not a single politician anywhere even among the most russophobic countries who would say that russia threatens these countries. even the president of estonia today said that he does not see any threat, but from russia in relation to. eh, finland and sweden, but nevertheless, they strive to join nato why, after all, this threat will appear, and as a result of their entry into nato, and today it is absent, what are these strangest ones who are in a security situation trying to achieve? joining nato i remember, probably 8 years ago, i came to nato headquarters and i had an exclusive interview with

the secretary general of the north atlantic alliance scheduled. well, there was some kind of pause. there, one and a half to two hours before the nato secretary general received me in his office and i saw a large one in the old headquarters. a group of women, well, obviously scandinavians. this is quite simple, like not some kind of elites or journalists, well, ordinary scandinavian women, in appearance, they are such a large group of people, 35 walked with curiosity, looking around the corridors of nato and walked with them, accompanying nato. hmm, some employees and i asked the representative of the nato press bureau and who are these women? i was told that this was a delegation of finnish housewives, they were specially brought at the expense of the budget of the northern alliance for

in order to tell how nato strengthens security, including, including in the context of the possible membership of this neutral country in nato. that is, systematic, purposeful work was carried out. of course, public opinion from the political class and finland, sweden, will heal the decision that today has actually been announced. it's a choice. the current political elites in helsinki and stockholm, respectively, of course, no one ever threatened these neutral countries, and at the most critical moments of the peak the soviet bloc and e, the usa and nato back in that period. we have always considered the neutrality of these countries as a guarantee of their security, just like the generation of politicians of that time, but considered their neutral status as a guarantee against any wartime force majeure and, again, the

president, like a horse, they always adhered to other politicians in finland exclusively. i would say a pragmatic and benevolent policy of benevolent and pragmatic cooperation with russia by the soviet union, then relations with russia and sweden were more difficult, but nevertheless we also found a common language, although i must say that sweden has been in the early nineties since the collapse of the soviet union, a neutral country has already begun active intelligence operations, but i will remind you of a few episodes against russia. uh, the swedish military intelligence, which at that time in the nineties was headed by generals eric russander. well, the well-known operation, when hanspeter northrem, a member of the swedish military intelligence , arrived in st. petersburg. the day was held a general meeting with an officer of the leningrad

naval base and, uh, the swede received as a result of this reconnaissance combination, which was realized in the stockholm container. well, apparently three rubles, in which there were secret and photographic film materials with documents from the leningrad naval base. naturally, the operation was stopped by the fsb of russia by our counterintelligence then a very big scandal arose in sweden because sweden was forced for the first time at an official level at the level of parliament. there has been an investigation into a big scandal to admit that sweden is leading a reconnaissance against russia then was another episode of the recruitment of an officer of the reconnaissance department of the baltic fleet, captain of the third rand ganga velichko, was also carried out at the moment when the swedish warship made e, calling on a friendly visit to russia at that moment, as they say, was completely ver. the translator officer, who was, well, at the same time an officer of the

baltic fleet administration, was also an operation, then was stopped. that is, why am i saying this, that the elites initially considered us as an adversary, although public opinion. definitely didn't want to be a member. now, unfortunately, i think that according to the accelerated procedure in the summer, finland and sweden will become members of the alliance and a new geopolitical military configuration is emerging, because if we look at one situation, when, well, there is, estonia latvia lithuania and then, neutral sweden is neutral finland well nato, norway and suddenly. that's it. now it becomes one single block. nato is faced with the question of how to respond, given the enormous length of the russian finnish border. we're sorry, we can't there, well, to create some kind of corps of a common military army in order to deter in the first place, there are no such impossibilities, nor financial costs that will require huge injections. and secondly, uh, anyway, in the conditions of the current fleeting modern war, this is not a

panacea for how to ensure your security, so there can be only one bet. the transfer of tactical nuclear weapons to the troops of the western military district and to the ships of the baltic fleet may carry them out. uh, iskander-m operational-tactical missile systems already with a nuclear warhead part and calibers of sea-based cruise missiles . also with a nuclear warhead , i will quote president putin, who said that in the nuclear version of equipment, calibers. they can strike at ranges up to 2,500 km, right away i want to say we do not threaten anyone. this is not nuclear blackmail, but we need to have elements of a response in the event that some kind of aggressive attack on russia is suddenly carried out from the territory of finland or sweden or lithuania, latvia, estonia, poland, we can respond and deter an alliance based only on nuclear power, only other options. no. and of course now fate.

kaliningrad is our western enclave, the kaliningrad special region, judging by everything, following the upcoming i believe the severance of diplomatic relations with moscow to. what vilnius officially conducts its policy today will be obvious and contrary to, or maybe, from the consent of the eu, it will be terminated in railway transit to kaliningrad and is worth the task is to ensure the economic political military stability of the kaliningrad region. i am i think now our leadership will closely deal with the solution of this problem. in any case, we will not tolerate any unilateral security threats to ourselves. this is not our choice. we don't need a confrontation. we do not consider sweden to finland as an adversary, but sorry, when american bases appear there, the possibility of using this territory to strike at us, it is possible that tactical nuclear weapons from somewhere in italy from germany will be pulled up there,

we can only hold back relying on ours. nuclear opportunities in the field of tactical nuclear weapons, we will certainly still talk about the consequences of sweden's accession to nato in finland, but for now i want to understand the motives. and for me, for example, it is quite clear that the matter is not only in stri and not so much in striving. the elite of these countries to join nato, although you are completely right that sweden, for example, was, in principle, one of the most russofian countries within the european union, and it was sweden, in many respects, that stood behind the initiative of the eastern partnership of the european union, supported the entry of ukraine in every possible way, in association with the european union and so on. but it seems to me that the role played by the united states is much more important. well, they play this role everywhere, but on the other hand. i want to say. you see, here's the story. it spins in circles, sweden was once the empire of charles xii's ambition to defeat the swedes. near poltava, as if shining.
