the proposal which was actually put forward by the opposition. so we will take the view that you probably have done. everything must be done in order to settle the problem and don't bus. as the, as the jim trump said, 1st of all in the way emotion have to look at the number of elements of the men sca agreement. we hope very much that partners across the ocean and in europe a festival and particular today front. so we'll put that influence they care last government to do that as far as the shredder and no stream to is concerned. today i said to the jim johnson that we agreed in the beginning of

2000 with prison, the coachman, as he was at the time the project, which was mentioned by mister shredder. and we agreed. and we actually signed an agreement to set up an international consortium, russia, ukraine and germany and possibly other european partners. and we did a consortium for the governance of that. not about buying it to anything like that, but to take you to governance under wing. and to make sure that the resources that should be strategically development, then the new ukrainian government on the next to present to opted out of it. and then of course, we looked at the whole questions, reliability is applies to germany. here we decided to go for, you know,

stream to where it will be today. much germany is receiving through that route, 55 bit in many cubic meters of gas. and that on a long term contract, which she did as ever is certainly not $34.00 or 5 times easy. 7 times less at us. 7 times less the price you probably needed, but then it would be that you would have otherwise syndrome. isaac, this is the benefits of course, household, sir, industries. it's 5 times cheaper. it 5 times cheaper. you've got that didn't even get off on the federal or the which is of what the lifting that it was. i got the functioning is that i think you ought to ask the germans to open their wallet and say, are they prepared to pay 345 times more. they don't want to do that. and that is thanks to mr. trader,

because that's the result of his work. woo. as far as or his presence got boomer on the board of directors of gast promise concern to day. many people in europe are worried about whether they will be regular supplies of russian energy. so says, so from russia to germany, i think that if that decision is taken gospel, tucker, still it is the decision to make him a director of her guess from easily because it, it will obviously be monitored by independent expert. you know, that is, you know, the order of the day which we respect. i think you to play thoughtfulness that on the feeder kimberly's book. and of course, he will be looking at it clearly at the entrance of his own country, the federal republic of germany healing and your europeans. and he will be able to

influence decisions which are taken at the board gas boomer object. you move on issues with us and we can, of course, on insures objective information from guess from i think that was any to the benefit. all of us we use whether or not it's going to be done. i think the elections are coming with june. that's a question for guess for them and follow independent assessors as far as the stream too is concerned about his presence there on the board of directors is very important because he wanted to know stream one and he knows experience of it yet. and just like to recall j a, just like recall that 5 gen companies are actually funding that got to explore issues to get this no stream to is ready for has been ready for industrial,

for expectation, as from december last and you know, we can supply by that route, that's all since the fog enough, in the midst of all the cher regarding the meanest agreement, everyone needs to comply with this. this applies to the government of carrying russia, germany, france, whoever is part of the political staff for it is important that everyone contributes one contribution to the legal law. it's hard to resolve on task which i had already mentioned before, had in my introduction to say when sasha's

elections officials my formal and the constitution and then in the trilateral form is more for much 3 in russia and b o. c. we need to talk every one nice participate should actually be respected by everyone and everyone. just description and complies. the question is, is the next step, they will be done, then the preparations are all available. all we need is that everyone gets a grip and of course, the result otherwise would be to ignore the men's agreement if the solution had been their reality today. so therefore,

we need to realize it's not all about the resolution. otherwise this'll be than a political catastrophe. which means, which would mean that everyone would return to the bins agreement and often slide the drift to provide the 2nd point 5 p. m. if is i would not like to comment. the bacteria is of her. former doesn't leave us losses. german politicians in regards to that, the pipe line itself, these are all resources. we agree that the pipeline works via ukraine, belarus and poland in altogether. the agreement, if we become victim and a whole bunch of ensure piece,

whole development in europe and avoid declaw aggression in the ukraine. therefore, then there will be consequences. and christina, to pull it from the alley tipton and windows and doors that get your theme that's been assigned to the political realities in which we are currently on the bible up. ah, isn't it after to listen pimping often among titan and he does. we should not point a finger at 10 the other the or make sure to maintain this is the piece. yeah. michelle fisher

fumed on have one is conceptually asked of hog as you have many language for mr. chancellor. you mentioned just now that i'm walking, i'm a member we, i don't really discuss it. it's good to know that if it costs memorial envoy, traveler, or other topics as well as get there the medicine killing. i'm the horse for tess. nonsense. the douglas watson by president. did you discover those the questions and up and what is your conclusion regarding the german russian conflicting dis, relations altogether? the next and talking and talking by target and vital to organ kenzie and uncle or to our listen. am what father to can you with

the nato by crying. i believe this was a question to mister putin. can you room alone for on in the next? like future i it up to be in the see man in the von is friends for life and move to all humans like yours with not yet. and the question could be was not really all of the live as some technical issues regarding mr. vonny phillips, my response i need i need to put in many opportunities. i made this position clear regarding only

a few which left with the fail. i'm did, i should have the option to answer your question, much of the beard. we're stuck with dealing with this that will move into a shadow and we are based on the real circumstances. i used to work with scott. the feed is breaking up. this is the interpreter talking, the feed is breaking up and i can't hear anything door to the 3 to not talk. and i was quoted today, but can you talk it as i said, you know, when, when i mean, if we didn't 3 minutes or so, but to go, what nationally, part of your, i mean, but you have a pro, some category when they will be made diplomatically that you might just keep which

are in the but we need to know this patient is a person staring here at the show you another machine. yeah. well, you mean to deployment of military infrastructure yet, elimination since 997 and ship. i'm going to buy new assault weapon systems from frontier. we are prepared to talk about the problem of pollution that might be in the answers which will be received. but what i have is of major importance and prior to now with regard to scottish social workers. and what was the 2nd part of your question? it's terrible. i scribbled something in the can't read it

is asking, asking on, in talking up talk from that we're kind of from cleanser, went on pulling back off the it actually just a withdrawal expands our data with a map on the decisions of nato. you came up with a wonderful sentence there. they say that in the coming years ukraine will not be in nature. what does that mean? they said that was, i mean, those are pretty much, but we're good. yeah, we have to agree. what they say in international relations mean for 30 years, we've been told that there won't be any kind of nato expression, not one inch eastwood. and today we see the infrastructure of nature one outdoor stereotypical green. moreover, a whole question of ukraine joining nato is raised and they say what it won't be

tomorrow. i mean, yeah. what about day after tomorrow? what does that actually change for us? historically speaking? absolutely nothing with lisa. we here screen that got to ukraine is not ready to join nature. we know that torture you go out and at the same time after that they say like i did, they open tomorrow. it's not going to join little bit. but you know, by the time they got ready for it, it may be too late for us, so we have to decide this question. now, just right now we do in the very near future, we have to have a negotiation process for face. we very much hope that you're worried partners will listen to this and we'll take the appropriate steps.

but you know, my 1st question i should like to put to prison, which and by team is that i see i see yesterday you said you were good to go to just one of my did not talk about the outlook for negotiations. what do you foresee a regime of the protracted negotiations in the future? and do you think that the main points which you mentioned that will be addressed? and my 2nd question is to, to show the petition, yet you get a minute. what was more into what the vision, what about, what was most of the do you think that there is a constructive, what is, what will you do when you come across them? more with atlantic settlement of the question is going to

be so that is say, a broadcasting deutsch avella to love russia and r t to germany. well, as far as the touch failure is concerned, we did actually address that with the chance today. you know, the work of the weather in germany and she in the federal republic. i don't really want to go into detail so, so not to complicate matters, but we agreed that we would think about a solution to that problem. as far as the next point is concerned, whether or not it is whether or not these stations are good to be lengthy and not end up being then thing. not the fission. we have been thinking about that a lot, particularly with the false ministries and so on. and the conclusion essentially is

that we are pretty, losing the apprehensive the negotiation process diverted by us about our essential questions. very worried that to should not be drenched out by partners who tread national felicity and that we should not have opposition worse. and in that her presence at the schedule, one of the as has happened to hit the 2 in many, many cases at the store. and obviously, when you mime from our point of view, we understand because it's a little too much source that measure. but to me and we will be discussing with our partners, we know what we're going to be discussing and what we will not allow to miss

parker. first of all, regarding the apartment in, and i'm thinking a state eve cation can be for the on legal grounds, and they can be process like and ratified. you can all be assured, the boss is fuss. there is 1st of all legal process within the rule of law in regards of negotiations and the positions are different, therefore, it took us a long while to talk. it is important, however, to talk and the last 4 to top and nato has responded to the interests of russia. russia is not

of you has not victory. however, the questions that need to formulated be don't agree with them, but it is good to discuss some of those points and it is important to avoid a dangerous situation in europe and everyone knows that has been a small condition for future talks. fee begins with the questions of resolving of the conflict in the ukraine, and that means agreement to which everyone needs to comply and we all need to talk. so get that this also applies to the different positions of the of nato's expansion. this is, however, not on the agenda. everyone knows about it,

and this is not the topic she will come across in our offices. i don't know how long mr. prince is planning to stay in office. i believe it will be forever. therefore, we have this task today to do something to come to a political agreement without anyone having to give the principal and the political principle. and this is how we have the political peace and security in europe prevents them to the can, the issues, the transparency and the control of me and veterans. and this is

a starting point and this should be used to e responsibility and justify our responsibility. i exert the press conferences over that was sir, that was russia's president vladimir putin and germany's chancellor. all of shots they're speaking to the media after their meeting today. chancellor shaw said that he expressed in that beating with president putin, that the west seas at russia's military troop build up as a threat. he said the de escalation is urgent. the necessary president putin said we don't want war in europe. that's why we set forward security proposals. he said, so far there's been no constructive response to our proposals. there are some elements in the response that are up for discussion. he also said that there is genocide in ukraine's don best region. let's go live that

a moscow on to cirrus dawson barriers their daughter. what do you make of what you heard? well, it seemed like the 2 men had a lot to discuss. the russian president said that the meeting was comprehensive and useful, and the 2 men met for over 3 hours behind closed doors. and i think they seemed to have managed to. i have some really positive discussions. i think the russian president said that he is willing to talk to the united states as well as nato, to hammer out the issues that he has with what is happening within their 30 member alliance. he said that the issue of ukraine is part of a larger picture and that it needs to be addressed. now, nato's further expansion is not something that can be delayed any longer. he said, russia wants to have this conversation now whether or not ukraine joins not today or tomorrow. that's not the issue. the fact is,

what they say is whenever they decide to join or if they decide to join some day, if they decide to join these kind of language, he said his political language, that is very ambiguous and it needs to be addressed now before it's too late, and he also announced that there are a lot of economic ties between russia and germany. he said the germ russia will invest another $10000000000.00 in the german economy. and a, he also said that, that 2 thirds of germany's energy needs are supplied by russia, and that, that relationship will not change when it came to talking about specifically the nordstrom to gas pipeline, which has yet to become operational at the russian president was hopeful that it will be soon and did the german chancellor managed yet again, not to answer any specific responses to the possibility of that pipeline, not becoming operational as a result of possible us sanctions on russia. should there be an a, an incursion,

or, or any kind of invasion into ukraine at the russian president said that just like his a german chancellor there. he does not want war. he said, our generation certainly does not want to see another war. and i think the both men shared the sentiment that dialogue is the way forward. we saw a very but relax, flatter me, put in. i think his demeanor was very telling about how comfortable he felt with the german chancellor. and i think their dialogue was, as he said, productive and comprehensive, whether or not ill translate anything as substantial in terms of a diplomatic push. in the coming days, we'll have to wait and see when the russian president was also asked about the a withdrawal of some of those troops alongside the border with ukraine in his country's western borders. he said, this is not something he wants to comment on, but he said this is something that was planned as a,

as that the defense minister survey chicago during a meeting with vladimir putin on monday. so i think we got a better picture of where things stand at the moment. but the one point he was very much strongly criticizing. the ukrainian government was about dumbass region in eastern youth crane. he said, what is happening? there is a violation of the minsk agreement that was signed in 2015 and he also said what is taking place in that region is tantamount to genocide. so he, i think he said that the normandy format needs to be much more seriously pushed forward in terms of carrying out that a pcs fire that is supposed to be taking place there. so all in all, very comprehensive, one, nearly one hour press conference by the 2 leaders. still somebody thanks to the dosage marion moscow. let's go to berlin out there. historic cane has been dominic . what did you make of what you, how to what extent was charles lot shoals trying a fine line between between what is western allies expected to hear that?

what is domestic audience expects to hear? when you consider what mr. shots is saying, what he's been doing? both here in moscow and then when he was in care of yesterday and then when he was in the white house, the monday before last, he's been very careful to use language which is not inflammatory. so he has never, in terms of public consumption that is referred to nod stream to. that's the thing to say here. and he has been very clear about saying that germany doesn't want to give weapons to ukraine. he's been very clear that the european position is that they don't want war in europe, but let's be clear about the parameters within which mister shots is acting. he has, as was made clear by president putin. he has an economy that shod says an economy which depends to a large extent on russian gas, natural gas piped into the country,

and which then also goes on to western europe. so what you have effectively there is a box within which mr. shots is trying to act pretty clear that he's saying normandy format. let's use all forms of diplomacy, but he's always talked about de escalation. but from his perspective, de escalation is a process not an event. so when he sees the troops being withdrawn, that he's clear that he wants more troops to be withdrawn in order to make clear to the ukraine in. so this is a permanent peaceful move. dominic belief exit out. his daughter came there live in berlin, they'll be much more coverage of what we heard from that press conference. and it did the crisis on ukraine's border, coming up with a user with come aisle, which is just minutes away. now, i'll see you again. thanks for watching. bye for now. ah.
