quote unquote alive shield you are familiar with these facts very well. we are aware of these on a daily basis. our officials, including the minister of defense, make announcements and through for the media with our on that respect to we also confirm that initiative from mounted by the russian party on the daily opening of humanitarian corridors. as it stands, it is still valid and generous for such corridors, and the timing for their opening should be defined by those who are in control of the situation on the ground. stemming from the analysis of the situation and looking at the need to choose the most effective and safe itineraries are for civilians to be able to be evacuated. so we also had a chance to remind our colleagues over the fact that during our last round of negotiation billows, the russian party came up with

a set of different specific proposals are written as a legal document. and the korean party actually took them for their homework to do . and keith in they promised to give a specific answer at all those proposals. that vow was a pretty attempt soon because we are keen on discussing these matters seriously. not just on a formal paper basis, but we need to focus on, you know, do ways for us to overwhelmingly comprehensively settle the conflict around of cranes so that we can ensure safety on europe in continent take into account. no question asked interest of every countries involved. so this is basically what we are discussed earlier today. so i'm ready to take your questions now. now channel one, russia yet away. come now go ahead with your questions and

no we don't have much on the i'm a single regression. hold on for 2nd of all, how get $100.00 then on a dollar go ahead place or claim back on for was you sean receipt? not a to come mind it that a tumble that a keys up let them get in. the 2nd for the interpretation is excuse me. so i same backer. so this is sharon ross did in order to come mind it. they did comma let a case up. let them give the men filed with the other lead a coach coach emerson. under the club was florida, but to them all crying or doesn't like guardian, it is with a tennis, did underwritten or kind of plug their top rack that additional the be to me the how did you she looseness some other act up on my other cornerstone the little duck pot shot that had ordered on take a couple of the deck. miss ellis, asking me,

said lemetre turning as i took my basic letter genuity in finance studios in. i'm not sure i understood interpretation well, but let's get 7000000 if further questions about how the special military oppression is unfolding. this is something that term is answered to by the minister of defense of russia and most importantly, by the present. our commander in chief who had many times emphasized as the oppression is going according to the plan with regard to the supplies of weapons to crane from abroad. yes, we do seem was how dangerously our western colleagues are acting, including the routine union. that in violation of all of their principles and values are quote unquote and encourage her supplies of lethal weapons to ukraine,

including thousands of portable air defense certain weapon systems. so that can be carried out some report affordable weapon system that can create a threats to civilians or airplanes as well. so we're talking about 1000 or defense corporate systems, sir. no, no, nobody knows where they will and wps but this we keep asking our re colleagues and they have been unit and when they did the interest with regard to how to put an end to the holidays we got followed but i didn't course that hes been building for years, there's no answer, we don't here answer who is going to control for those weapon systems her going forward. so this is going to create a lot of the threat to the safety of, as you will have yet not only in ukraine, but all across europe with her got your question of whether not you're planning to

attack other countries. no, we're not planning on attacking other we do not attack your credit for that matter . what we did a took a time to explain many times to keep explain that situation was unfolding the goals, threading into restoration, and we have been explaining this for many as many years, but nobody heeded. number to listen to our advice and put in her voice. so many times about that respect with regard to those 2 regions of low hand scan done it. and some attacks are, had been on the drawing board and quite often including this current month. there were some attacks being planned against those 2 republics. and the pentagon has been doing a lot of bad things as you know, using tax money or we're talking about biological and chemical laboratories. and

we're, we're used by the pentagon to produce some a jack that could be used as precursors for a chemical weapons. and looks like rumors have been spelled, which is no, it no wonder because they're happy and you know, so keep saying, hey, they do not have any information confirming the fact that the usaa has been producing chemical weapons in ukraine. also there's some does not want to win a winded, where the, such a react sand and the u. n. also a chipped and, and they also expressed that they did not have any feminine, but also no wonder because the americans conducted these activities are in secret to the same way as they have been operating in other former soviet states all across the period long. that perimeter is all around russia,

including maybe also in the people's republic of china as well. they had their own laboratory. i mean americans, but there's in the international convention on the band of chemical and toxic weapons. and every nation is required to report about every aspect of it, to the conduct both domestically and internationally as if i understood your question correctly. so this is the way i am answering it. but anyway, who, whoever is pumping ukraine with weapons, they should be aware of the fact that they shouldn't be held liable. they are responsible for that, including also those who we promote descending of mercenaries to train for them to actually in fact revise those embed, ultra right to radical can did or traditions which not a good idea soon. possibly as your excellency, 4 minutes. i thank you so much for taking my question. my name is holly campbell. i am with cnbc news, excellent. c, i'm russia has used and

a lot of different words to justify the invasion of ukraine. you've said that it's for the ukranian people, but how can you possibly justify the bombing of a maternity ward and a children's hospital? do you agree with president kolinski that that is an atrocity to target pregnant mothers and children is in fact an atrocity. and also for the russian people themselves to day russia face is a $40000000000.00 default. that's worse than we've seen, the russian economy since $917.00 and the bolshevik revolution. how do you justify it to the people at home that you've read their economy for an invasion that frankly, the rest of the world does not believe to be happening. thank you sir, but she was sure no problem with regard to the maternity ward. if you lost 1st time that was the some you know, but 30 cries about the so called allegedly legit atrocities had been committed by the russian military on the 7th of march 3 days

ago. oh the so i don't remember maybe the 6th of march anyway. we had a inhaled a month meeting of the security council and our the legation, those presented facts, testifying to the fact that that maternity ward had already been seized by the as old battalion, other radical elements. and there were no nurses nor personnel. no expecting mothers. there at all that was that building was used as a base for the as of the radical battalion. this information was presented to the n security council 3 days ago. so go ahead and make your an assessment, sir. and i've seen some reports including those of your media outlet. no saw the media outlets as they're pretty much emotional, of course. and shocking, hey, you know, there's all this, every story has another side. so you have to be aware of the other side of the

story for to be able to come up with an objective unbiased understanding of what is happening now with regard to our, the economic situation in russia. well, we are going to take care of this, the present, this taken care of this. our government is taking care of this, where they're dealing with this. so the current edition offers as another person, millard said, saw her to see what we have been committed already earlier with regard to what we're doing into credit for example. so a crane is being turned into an antique russia nation, and this has been the case for many years now. the west since the since 20 years ago, americans actually required your grains to make their choice, whether the side with russia or the side with as well. what kind of values are these are ladies and gentlemen that have been hammered into the heads of the

ukrainian, this san one choice. in addition to that, we have seen so many police chance whereby some pro western what and was candidates who were not successful in delusions about back in 2009. remember in violation of the grand constitution to west or force the constitutional court of ukraine to make an end, a constitutional decision allowing for the 3rd round of elections to take place and beg, then there were a lot of manipulations and nobody threatened anybody. but on a constant basis, their worst has been her turning friends into an enter russian experiment, right? they've been using it as a tool to counter russia. okay. now, next thing you know, natal joined in for them to. i'm in ask you ukraine to a join the lions sinners. so they started billing their a naval vase,

this in the black sea. and so now we can sell. so some of the information is we get information about biological chemical laboratories that operated in ukraine in yes, in secret, it was kept and secret from the rest of the world. and then we are asked to ask her for them to be reasonable and display some conscience and some responsibility, which we think birdie did talk or presented our suggestions. but nate, that nitrous response was no, we're taking care about ourselves. so extra net expansion poses no threat to russia in this is our business, but my question is, hey, how come there? um, since when nato has to define the way we understand our interests and what makes her our understanding of what safety is, right, this is something that russia will never let happen. so what happens is that we is

zant. it's our plans with regard to ukraine. if in a very specific fashion, we're against militarization of ukraine with net without and doesn't matter. and we're not happy with americans deploying some weapons that would keep our territory under control. number 2, we are again supreme turning into a neo ne, says ne, near san. and she's like, living old not says traditions with others, her nearness as to marching all across ukraine and so forth. re when those militants are trained in order to commit crimes and fag. so we want ukraine to be a neutral ne, san present put in has said many times or not. that was that insisting on.
