we have we are the government to winners and we will do whatever we think fits within in russia held to. the geneva accords on april the seventeenth and then we had a. declaration now i'd like to ask my western colleagues what is their contribution. in the. drafting political means to resolve this crisis and. of course the two parts in some of the agreements but the very next day they backpedaled on them and refused to your bag these agreements the security council russia. these documents forward to be approved by the security council by the see.

seen no political initiative from our western counterparts they say that russia needs to change its policy. and if it doesn't will be sanctions. i don't understand what they mean by changing our policy. western counterparts asked us to support february twenty first deal and we did support it we took an active role in drafting of course we supported the burley in decoration the. road map of the west did not support the roadmap we've invited always seen monitors. to check points and the waste of time has the ernie's of a reason but the west tried to block this process. they

insist on transparency but maybe they're a real desire to avoid transparency. of questions. much. at the very beginning i pointed out. there some of the partners are not truly ready to sign a deal to deliver on their commitments and i would like to understand what the reasons behind it as to the sanctions. but that was a look at the. russian president and survived about putin which is. a multiple times that sanctions never achieve the goals and in case of russia sanctions will fail that of course we're not happy about it and the new. he's not happy about it either. floorless the. like to assure you that.

russia we'll prevail russia will overcome the difficulties in the economy maybe we'll become more confident. more independent. when you look at that this is also a kind of benefits. but it's got. everyone's trying to punish russia. august everyone's going on vacation and i see a clear desire that they want to issue all of these sanctions schools impose all of the sanctions before they go in vacation. but the main thing. is that the western partners can not explain to us they want from us just saying that russia needs to change this policy is not serious it's a joke. that if the allegations of deliver is.

why they didn't. jump to our proposal to plays so we see observance. of course the there is. always see mission in ukraine as they can use any technical tools they need tracking tools of course you have satellites images and any country can share is the ones we then see who don't. even in the dark ages we live. where technology rules if there are. any specific pieces of evidence then the president mentioned. it forwards later into the table but it never happens the same with the. seventeen crash. they only publish them ten days ago we are not we didn't we don't

know what they did with the. images. but it seems that the west. going back to the containment policy it's also part of the the. political picture you've read a lot of comments. and everyone's getting ready for the upcoming summits of nato. what we're seeing is. that. the. principles of cooperation between nato and russia will be undermined. i believe there are forces who warns this ukrainian crisis to continue their warns to use this as an excuse to.

negate everything positive that has been achieved between russia and the west over the past years. how can you comment on their own calling. their ukrainian military. the fact that they keep their military operation do you think that if this way try to hide something. the statements made by president poroshenko straight after the crash. i mean. a cease fire within four kilometers. distance. of the site crash was the right staff but there were other statements which we will commit but in reality these statements. have not been implemented we see multiple rocket

launching systems being used. which. and other heavy weaponry is used human rights watch as i mentioned issued a report. and expressed deep concern the red cross the national red cross. has admitted finally that the conflict in ukraine with an internal military conflict that's not an international conflict. they say and. because of that that. they're both sides have to stick to the international rules are waging a war. there should be. attacks on civilian sides and serve the defense forces are called the tournaments. set forth in international regulations and of course they're also under protection

by the international humanitarian law or. it was more or. less the movies. look at. the realities that each. fighting continues. near the crash side and the reality is that in ukraine crain forces. that have. to stop their fighting and they have to respect. the resolution by the un security council the un security council called on everyone to you. provide full access to the crash diets provide conditions for a transparent. investigation some of the observers. should try to gain access to the crash site were unable to do so there were tanks.

those who have the. leverage show with the kiev authorities. to take the necessary steps. to block any attempt. with any. cover up the traces the words to gain the upper hand these attempts must be stopped. and the delivery time. is either during. president putting this is it to china they decided to carry out troy and. are dedicated to the anniversary ah of other victory over.

german militarism what steps have been made and. what can you say on japan is. our decision to restrict the defense policy. heads of state. must reach. an agreement on the joint serb aeration. than a verse or is related to. world war two two thousand and fifteen the seventy year anniversary of the victory europe and that for us is the victory of the great patriotic war and of course the same two year anniversary of the war and pacific. and heads of states instructed the military the military the defense ministry the foreign ministry to

arrange even. would mark the zone a verse series. would be events in china and in russia as for aleisha as with japan. it's a. long time. but very good neighbor we want to develop our relations with japan we want japan. you conduct an independent foreign policy and contribute. to the. security senior. in the asia pacific and globally. we want japan to take an active. shaping security arrangement in the asia pacific of course with regard to the

russian chinese. proposal. it was for us to several years ago and we reaffirmed by the recent statements. by the russian and chinese presidents the goal these two creates a security arrangement without any blocks. across the asia pacific and we want all the countries including japan to say connective parts. working out a sustainable arrangement last year we had a session of experts in. it last year there was a meeting with. moscow and we hold. that so by the year summits. but we will have in myanmar you will get some of the inside so from our experts and the very

spirit of the essence of the senior. looking for an arrangement where there would be no blocks no competing blocks. is very important. it will push. the. use of military force. still. one of the powerful tools which is on the table by many western politicians and we saw that in europe we saw in the me middle east and we saw that in ukraine we see the outcomes and i hope that in the asia pacific all of the countries who will be able to avoid this temptation. see.

that there is a russian in the u.n. security council have banned has been discussed. on the gaza war and it has stated that this is fire without any direct. this is fire said be done without end of the requisites. it means that hamas put down their arms and hamas wants the blockade. taken down activity i think it is. do you know referred to the statement well yes it was. unanimously. russia supports the proposal by egypt. we need to save the lives of civilians. and

because of this we need to act swiftly and we need an immediate cease fire when you american counterparts. for an immediate unconditional cease fire. mean what gods are. it's very good we would like them to use this same language in rhetoric to call for an immediate and unconditional cease fire in ukraine and nor with preconditions. for capitalization of protesters in the southeast. asked for the. conditions. said by each party is i mean hamas in israel well i think there should be in immediate cease fire and that's realistic and then you need to see some contacts. maybe in direct contacts.

to. see long term. characteristics. of a long long term deal but what you need to do is to. engage in a cease fire and then sit down and begin a shooting negotiate. negotiating table to discuss. a solution so that there is peace in gaza so that israel. feel secure i really hope that this will happen we do support the. undertaking by egypt. i really hope. they are very promising. hello mr love ralph.

get it off the wall street journal. so i question on the ukraine and sanctions so far russia has been able to employ the so-called sectoral sanctions from the e.u. . it looks like according to germany and brussels they still can impose sanctions like. we. did last year really does it still help that. can such sanctions and what is the reaction of moscow. we subscribe to the way you formulated we know tried to avoid these sanctions. it was not. we are trying to find

a way to. change the situation in ukraine. we warned the hostilities to stop negotiations to start and there is in line with the commitments taken. us in ukraine. mentioned. in the geneva accords. russia warned to renegotiate. the ukrainian authorities have these proposals. and they are condition is supported by. i mean the us and european counterparts. the reason maybe you have to look at the sanctions from another angle from another perspective of there was

a geopolitical projects. on the way and that was. my done square. on the artificial excuse. the president. said he needed to take more time to study the association agreement with the e.u. there's nothing wrong with the. considering a referendum. to leave the e.u. many analysts say it's just a way for the u.k. to. to get. more benefits more privileged position. in the u. they have a lot of exemptions but they still warmed her more privileged position of course that's live births mr unocal vege had the right to

take the time. then what we saw was the protests crane. we realized it was egypt local project to grab ukraine and that was done to the detriment of russia to the detriment of the russian speaking population they weren't able to do it. and they wouldn't be able to do it because you cannot impose these kind of things on an independent country. and that. of the country of the southeast part of the country. is very independent they regard the promise from the west of the country there's they. transparent you need to see governments and there would be a constitutional process instead they set off

a committee. the national parliaments they drafted something they never made public then the send to the venetian council. the council of europe and the. venice commission should come up with. a result. the various commission. might see. any draft law or any draft constitutional or mars to be on the gender of the nation why darla there was set forth. and mr poroshenko mentioned there were. never delivered on their promises. and none of the western part of who were in the presence. present during the signing of the. twenty first of february those who signed the deal

of. the year the seventeenth of april the no one tries to think he was sort of cheese to deliverance promises and first to launch a constitutional process. he's a pro says. that shaping the future of the state. and then brings me to the question. capable of delivering on their commitment was. some policymakers. trying to engage in sanctions. simply because they cannot force the kiev authorities to do or the warlords or otherwise the public would ask them what

have you done you know it's likely by. call for it to go you have to move forward you know. you have to use the paddles. of course the u.s. wants the you to proceed along with this kind of course read an interview with. john friedman. of stratfor for he was pretty straightforward. according to him the main threat in the long term. leading position of the us is not china not al qaida. the possibility of. russia uniting with the e.u. now was pretty straightforward. but i shall have no. a just give you the state quote from him.

what is the russian official reaction. to the sanctions. use the. principle. we were warned to. be sober about that's of course the president said we will have to consider that we do warm to. get panicky. to strike back. we own sense of dignity. newspaper the floor is yours thank you to questions about you. know one thing that gravels. it's highly likely that the rebels were the ones.

down the planes the plane they didn't provide any evidence do you think a bad their source is or secret. still they have some pictures published by the us and. these pictures are all the just proof that. selling your brain how can a comment this. i commented on this image. more than ten days to present this evidence to the experts to come and. this kind of evidence. once we've decided for tracking data. we made it public. we have shares then we see in the u.s. . some forty questions was asked to the. russian navigation agency

and the russian to me defense ministry these are very specific questions we don't understand why the americans who say they have some irrefutable evidence. why they're presented their evidence we can. trust them. we can trust their what we can't trust their words this should be an enormous. fear of. now investigations we can just come. to an american court and say you know we have the alibi but we. presented it because. it's classified it's not acceptable and of course communications. the air traffic control. presenter. according to the data we have

these traffic controllers. cannot talk to anyone they were not allowed to there's a lot of questions a lot of allegations. a lot of suspicions. so your first question is and then there was a good that is in. the u.s. doesn't tell us much. in using diplomatic channels less than what they do publicly . it's very. i think. your last are you going to negotiate for. these crimes because you care has a problem with that because the main figures who control parts of the dots alex on

a lot of the i'm going to go to king operates russian citizens and residents of moscow who do you think they should be negotiating with who do you think you should be negotiating with you are an experienced diplomat one of the most experienced in the world who do you propose they negotiate with and secondly do you think that crimea should the status of crimea should be part of those negotiations. move to move in pretty much the. u.s. in the. global the you little shit which is your second question news obvious crimea is part of the russian federation and there was no there are no there will be no negotiations on the crimea with a new one. the crimean people. decision which is march. has been taken ill just as that was done and over with as for the self-defense forces there were several teleconferences there were

representatives from the lugansk. and there are believed to be. problems by. year for including by former president kuchma and. some of other experts so you can find people who can talk to the southeast and i read a direct talks would start. very soon there will be no we shoes of who represents who are. citizens of other countries should fights on both sides have been. heard reports of polish. members of different groups. there are people from other countries you shouldn't.

just look at the situation in an oversimplistic way of us john kerry was the report try. that about a hundred to you were. military experts. and secured our spurts are deployed. the ukrainian security service building. a significant influence which he said i'll come back to you tried there was three months ago he never came back. so there's no smoke without a fire. does and. doesn't really matter to. you in this country belongs to the most important thing is to deliver on the commitments and as i say. very much that the ukrainian side capable of delivering on its

commitments for the serb defense forces just give this tool to channelise as i said review conference to take place and the group confirmed that the negotiations sides could talk to each other very well. or apologize for jumping in it's r t international that was russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov there speaking to the media on some very key political issues there here in moscow let's chat with her now who listened and listened to the whole thing as as was i marina very interesting covering ukraine not just the ongoing violence on the border with russia but also m.h. seventeen take it away what did the foreign minister have to say absolutely of orewa hardly a surprise there ukrainian crisis was the focal point and said again love it off that the reason why the.
