at the moment he's been sailing questions about 3 and a half hours covering many international issues, but domestic ones to that you heard there one about sir development in crime is let's go through some of the big ones he's been talking about with eagles down a few choices again at eagle. good afternoon and nato ukraine gas all up there. weren't they? with the main topics of conversation. let's just start with their, with ne town and what he said there. well indeed, andy, i would stop short of saying something along the lines that the subject of nato stole the spotlight completely. it just issued fell just short of doing that, but still it to heavily dominated, at least part of this media event. and essentially, as vladimir putin was giving his response, he was getting more and more animated as the subject seemed to have cruel, deeply, under his skin. it's something that you don't see often from the russian leader. and basically, his message has been rather unequivocal that the, the military alliance should give you should give guarantees of unconditional

security and safety of russia. and that means essentially no more eastwood expansion expansion, i should say. and that basically that the military block has blind repeatedly to russia, especially back in the ninety's when they gave verbal assurances and verbal guarantees in that nasal will not expand towards the russian borders. and then later over the years did exactly that. so now more school wants that on paper, and vladimir putin was of, very, very unequivocal about it. have a listen. saline is already new, around mercedes to will disease at near our actions will not depend on the negotiation. they will depend on the unconditional compliance with the russian security. you must give us the guarantees it is up to you. you must do this immediately right now, instead of keep talking about this for decades. but we would, so this is something of a diplomatic bomb using rhetoric like this such demanding and such well

uncompromising, i should say. so essentially vladimir putin as a, given an example that basically said it's not russia that is deploying missiles on the border of the united states. but rather it's the nato alliance that is doing the exact same thing on, in russia's backyard well, in eastern europe. and so on, even said that, well, while it is pretty, pretty much impossible to encircle russia and military bases more than technology well can plant and compliant the seeds of this thought in well week or mines or in, i should say, in more hawkish minds. that would be more apt, i guess. then the russian president also mentioned ukraine, obviously how can, how could, how could he not, excuse me, basically saying that, well, deploying missiles in ukraine is an absolute red line for moscow. and for the kremlin, let alone allowing nato, except long nato excepting ukraine,

within its ranks and making ukraine a member state. this is out of the question, as well as any agreement between us or other members, nato member states and ukraine, that would see natal missiles. so close to the russian because the flies time of a missile from ukraine or mostly and russian capital is so so sure. so again, vitamin who was very, very much on equivocal about said, but such a militaristic, well agenda, while it has dominated part of it has dominated, excuse me. i think we have to cross back to have to cross back to the media conference because i'd love to compete in fair way. doesn't that remind you the situation that happened before i saw your 2014 to see, but you me decision. unacceptable and misguided out of nowhere to them in my i saw was a long time ago,

one of the former presidents of the united states could you guess couple that was, well, he told me her blood there. oh, i live death. oh fun. julie says that this boycotting the way, sharlitra games in los angeles and in moscow was a huge mistake, including a mistake by the united states. and now they keep making the same mistake. mission deployed easily politically. why do they do that? why do they blow cold? china, politically and economically they, they want to contain its development with. there are no other reasons for them to do that. sport. derek, a schoolstore sports largely abena such as are like, art is as low as to unite people, not for the drive them apart, drive nations and show governments are foreign. emily and when sport says her, and unless you, through sheer human mission has service

a fundamental part of it taking away this damage is the not in the entire community in a way on the western of leon. yeah. but yeah, yes, there are many ways to support each relations and partnerships within countries. but also what is these policies are politicians guided by short term interest demolish of these are ways to improve relations problems. here there's nothing we can do. people make mistakes, you don't always repeat your mistakes, but this is one of the cases when mistakes are repeated. in fact, if you look at law and there's only one reason for that, thanks it. measuring all the sanctions against russia miss whittaker will reaching the failure to him. all of that is when you comes to one thing rockaway littlest, run the it's not about the last name of the head of state. it's not about some current issues or problems. it's just about why thing with because this is an

attempt that law suit can it saying all who was more the developments of your potential adversary political to have scored law to record that of each other using another. remember what i believe is old 0 about nato, expanding eastward message through the why would they do that? why did they feel like they need to do this? i remember egan borrowed from germany to the furthest the real fields, a system of security in europe, lately, who, whiskey that after soviet troops or mine, withdrew from germany and from eastern europe. no, no, they proposed, he proposed i new foundation, which would certainly involve nato. but which would not involve central european countries, he proposed to create a new mac equals system of security that will include russia. he, there chicago, canada, united states, is that he then his lead and go. i read this in the archives in his talks with the

soviet leadership. he, his sags to win. if we don't do that the earliest then the virtual was berlin wall will kinley see needed to move him eastward. and we will have will face the same problems as we have to day your body. that of this is our app. and why did it happen that way? that's an attempt to limit someone's growth to contain someone's development. this is a misguided policy just as misguided as the attempt to use in this case sports willy as a means to address your short term political interests and you, luckily ourselves and like to try and stop china from developing. but they must understand that it's impossible. but right now, china, in purchasing power clarity is greater than the us, it's economy is greater in awaken in several decades. china will inevitably to

become the leading economy of the world in all of aspects. when you my, you have to take that into account. you have to understand that's realised that we'll move if they don't. well, that's their mistake. as for us, we always stood against politicizing, your sports or we're going to rattle. now, i saw some from someone from the far east person in a blue jacket that he, that there were yes. past the microphone to them please. but i don't even know either. it's her loam you should put in the we are always glad to see you in the far east. oh yeah, i get up and i'm always happy to come to vladivostok, especially officer with the look at her this summer. there was that as g. e, a summit, a lot of her good things that happened to vladivostok hillock for innovation and i hope that people in the are in the city can also feel that you couldn't do awfully

. that's true, a bit pricey to what the changes are if you will not be drastic. also at 1st, pillsbury, i had to get single brim a pardon for 8000000. i'm not trying to sell it. isn't that? think is the licensee real estate prices in derby? far raised are reaching some unprecedented high sort of you are. yes. so the construction industry is that good level. okay. russia is vladimir pacing failed in the question there about pricing has price is in the far east, but that just shows the diversity isn't the criteria of gas in the afternoon. yes, everything is saying, but i'm just, prior to that he was talking about the diplomatic boycott. of the upcoming winter olympics in china, and he made it very clear, didn't he? he said from his point of view, it's unacceptable. and from that you can tell the relationship between russia and china on that. and he also said this is just the short term political gang with regard to that diplomatic boy come, well diplomatic boycott is not a full boy. so thank god, thank god. at least athletes can,

can go and participate. but i think these times in, with, you know, tried western tactics of using sports and culture as a means of political persuasion. even though it's hard to tell what the americans are trying to gain. and in this regard, because i mean whether or not the diplomats are present in china doesn't really affect chinese dance. if anything is going to make it more uncompromising, perhaps because nobody likes that. you know that own plot as being math in such a way. but please also mention the example of similar behavior or similar moved towards russia and he said that it wasn't helpful in sylvia time. so even most recently when russia was hosting its lympics and so chan, do you remember all sorts of issues emerging, all of a sudden in the western media,

that's where all bought, forgotten the afterwards. same thing happened. i have to say for the world cup in 2018, i mean a diplomatic boy caught again for many western countries, but all forgotten and a very good spec because, i mean, i think it's, it's also personal because somebody who likes more, he likes sports, rushes, investing a lot in you know, making physical activity more accessible to the people as well as, you know, traditional and historically it's been asking a lot in the, in the higher before than it being used in such in such a fashion and nothing essentially being sacred in these concent world of geo politics only. it's a bit. yeah. i mean nothing is off limits when it comes to containing bursary as he put it in. so it's hard to see what they can gain in terms of 5 containing china.

because i mean, you said before that it shows the quality of relationship between russia and china, but i think russia was sound the same sort of attitude, even if it was with regard to country with me. she doesn't have a good relationship, be the united kingdom a lot say i don't know of korean because certain things should, you know, sports to remain sports. we have enough of different platforms to vendor or political or geo political driven. she's in disagreements last year. the believe olympics, what it was supposed to be a place where we can all come together of humans, but for some reason that's not longer possible. and on china, i'm looking forward. he said, in decades to come, it's just except the china will be that if you don't mind i economy. well, i was ready to some extent, i mean, and he said in every aspect, i mean not just talking sort of g d p per capita or whatever he was saying quite clearly, this will be the major players, but it is a large country. i mean,

it's also, i mean, mentally, it's hard for russia to understand and maybe that's because russia feels that it is development has always been sort of constrained by the west. but the, it's hard to understand how you can deny something like that. if you are a country at one point, what is it 1500000 people? i mean, can you forbid them from developing and serving their own population? that's impossible. it's not because china still saw something from, from the west, is pursuing its own natural course. and you know, western analysts always say that china's development is, is a major threat for russia, but clearly not pulling. he was saying earlier, today we have 100000000 dollar trade in place at the moment, more than pre pandemic levels. john, i mean, you know, one with i think there are clear synergies in terms of both russian and

chinese economy and each country has its own fans. vulnerability is clearly china is, is a mighty power economically, but it also relies on some of the rushes expertise, for example, in military and g filled and russia to find advantages in not being necessarily aligned with china. i'm sure russia would be just as eager to do practical business with western countries, including the united states. and by the way, i think last year, the tray turnover between russia and the united states has actually increased pretty pretty significantly, despite all the assumptions. you know what i was thinking about is john line and make off not where. i mean, it was the point of trying to prevent each other's development. when we can all grow together. he used the phrase when he said he was talking to penguins.

previously i think it was just recently and he said that, you know, we are trusted friends may not so unusual to hear. to lead is that these days you do hear it, but it's not common. is it? well, put in personally, and russia as a, as a country has invested a lot in streamlining its relationship with china. and it wasn't without difficulties. i mean, when put in came to power back and they, i think late 9970. i think he became an interim later in 1999. we had major border disputes. under his administration, his team took a lot of effort into making sure that certain compromises that i found. and russia and china still have very, very sensitive issues on resolved between them. they are not always area in the media, but they're there, there are clear disagree, and sam conflicting interest, but instead of the times on the beach approach, you take it, you know, the practical approach to. we can sit down the,

you get something out of it. i get something out of it, but at the end of the day we old benefit from, you know, increasing our possibilities or on us, which seems to be the case where the, where, you know, some name calling and trying to, you know, prevent somebody else from developing while also watching, you know, preventing your own ability to capitalize on those synergies. okay, well let's go from boss good relations to bad relations because the train came up again. is everybody expected mrs. what sir? we're glad imitation. set it back. is situational? national washington? yeah. so quickly and tracy 2nd option would be great. hang on, and t, russia on, on that territory that will be injectors. and palm toys, state of the art arms and the, the residence there would face it constant brainwashing. and we'll have to look and control what new types of arms are supplied her baby. we shall keep track of

that. and you know, when they have these new alms, they could produce the radicals to try to resort to a military option for the non boss who are good at norman's groom with near attack . so they, i think he's referring to the military arms that he is receiving from the west at the moment in his fear that that could sort of spur on the radicals as he calls them into some sort of military aggression in easton ukraine, which has been rumbling for 7 years now, i'm still em resolved. from what he said, overrule today about ukraine. was there anything you say was there a sense that there's a chance that men's agreements could get for the re ignited? is there a chance that it could be some sort of deal broken with the help of joe by know, was it pretty much the stock that we've heard before? you know, one of the things that was significant to me or stood out for me was that he

said that we as, as the russians we, we are eager to go and extra mile for your crane because he's presenting the problem as a strategic military problem here. is a problem of security, but, you know, for the russians, it's more than that. it's a cultural, historic family connections and it's, it's a huge pain to be honest with you. i mean, i have relatives in the ukraine it's, it's very hurting, it's painful not to be able to go to cave, not to be able to maintain some of those family connections. and i think some times, i mean he, to me, he looked a little bit exasperating because russia has tried to 1st prevent the crisis in ukraine and he talks about that as well. but he saw that the, the younger coverage government, which by the way, it wasn't pro russian, it was a government of that try to get as many benefits from as many side as possible. and

manipulated russia and exploited rash on quite a number of occasions. but he said that when the, when the college made a decision to step down, we were all in favor of that. i spoke to president obama gave i provided him with assurances, but it was enough. and that i think is something that you hear in many of his speeches this, these believe the wes, disregard for the practical consequences of an actions, whether it's an ukraine or let's say in we be in syria in iraq and afghanistan and the, you know, the least can go on and on, you know, these determine nation by western powers to serve good serve goodness, to other peoples, without actually even trying to calculate the potential consequences of their actions. because it's not about ukraine's democracy. russia has disentangled themselves politically from ukraine a long time ago,

but ukraine still relied on russia economically, and it's clear that many of those ties and now a separate blad and it's a huge loss for russia. you can hear that disappointment in his voice, but what he's actually trying to say that sure ukraine is out for itself. it can be the western account that you use as a launch pad to attack russia or even to project a thread towards russia. that's not going to pass. and he, as i had said, as a commander in chief, he has that obligation. he has to be able to, you know, it's in the, the had what certain policies can result in to you said he was weary that the situation and certainly when he was talking about president length and he said, so my 3 point now we can't tools because he's being swayed by radicals as the same thing happened, as with a previous president, is it was if you know, what can i do?

this is a structural problem because he saw again that he saw no turn enough to diminish cremeans. this is an agreement between the break away republics and the central government. and keep with the problem with that agreement is that the authorities in ukraine have not been able to implement it. in fact, if you open up the ukrainian media, you know, there is no one who can even advocate for the implementation of, of that agreement would be considered as a national betrayal. so this agreement stands, it cannot be implemented for very clear political reasons in ukraine because and put, and actually also said that we understand that i didn't ask you was elected in part due to the population desire to resolve this issue with training leaders are in power they are dramatically constrained by their internal political divisions and

they can do nothing about it. and that's one of the reasons why, for example, russia is now eager to discuss the issue of ukraine with the united st holdings, at least because a washington washington can not provide some sort of apply sort of pressure on, on the crane that may be, you must make an offer that ukraine would not be able to decline. it's a, it's an interesting configuration right now. also interesting. yeah. new rochelle cook food is here. he agreement with guarantees, but i notice he didn't put any sort of specific one with an officer. his name is just sort of clever diplomacy and let's just start the to well, i don't think it's a, it's a clever and diplomacy, to be honest with the i think that's just a sign of the 2 sides reaching a total dialogue and russia is making it pretty clear to the west,

the post cold war security arrangement in europe is no longer sustainable of russia is no longer going to take it in. in fact, they have all the pieces of the military infrastructure in place already. russia have fortified in borders. it has new weapons to protect itself. it has a try catch, striking capabilities. that's not no other country in the world have it against tribe. they nodded states within a few minutes, so it feel pretty confident when it comes to protecting and border. so it is now trying to communicate that if you want to improve, we are in a strong enough position or a compromise. we no longer feel ourselves walner rebel, but we want to, if you indeed want to insure some stability, security predictability, all those goals, that present vibe, for example, communicated and expressed their wishes in the hope, the papers, ministration. we are ready for the discussion and i think there are also counting

on the fact that the white house is overwhelmed with its own problems and that is sick and tired of the ukrainian issue is there. most of this is the right way to put it, but this is a remote, a strong enough motivation to settle this quickly because i know they're going to talk. and i think give sort of feedback in january about what they think on these proposals. but if you would, you expect this to drag on an on an owner will that they are thinking west is biding his time right now because it's an interesting conundrum. because saying that now we're not going to accept any of that sort of gives degree to the crime. and i think that's the way it was perceived, at least in the western russia will, will say, ok, we try to reach out to you. you said, no, we do what we think needs to be done, so they don't want to reject it out of hand. but clearly what russia is asking is there is a lot. there is also very limited political ability and the west to say ok,

you know, you don't want us to take your crane will grant it to you even though in practical terms, i think everybody understands that success. what the wes sliding for is the opposite of what they want and the same for russia. what russia fighting for it has already secured that does not need western guarantee for that's why i think it's one. now one of those of you essentially cut the all this nonsense all this can still, it isn't get down to the business of governing because this is actually what both the vitamin station and the put in administration me has interest 1st. and of course, i've got many dimensions to tackle t. one of we are well, 4 or 4 hours we've been through, i know, talking through and we haven't learned and stuff about it. okay, let's just mentioned one topic that came up thought should russia prisons are, this is what was said with their use will logo lemme solution. but in this

particular case, concerning what you asked me when making an assessment of the situation, we need to see what the investigation is doing. there is an inquiry, there are 17 cases. i think there are dozens of cases, criminal charges have been brought already. the problem exists, but we need to be very careful, meticulous going about ad addressing this as you investigation. everything carefully looking into those crimes that have been perpetrated. and these as civic investigation has to be completed so that everyone understands that people's responsible for such crimes will be held accountable. okay, well let's go back to what he's saying right now. here is that lagging a patient, the fresco? i don't think i should like to think about it and because it is your colleague asked about how to help the elderly, how to help people suffering from high inflation. how we can look how we can combat high inflation. how can we help her with ideas and i despise our elderly french. oh,

that's what, that's what we must think about. what, what my at another 15 astray with nancy the, the issues that we must address. we are all across the government or body to what we're doing yet. your question was really just, we need to make people's lives and the quality of their lives and better. inordinate, a lot of money is being allocated to do that. and we need to use this money effectively so that people can feel that their lives are getting better. yes, you know, now when we talk about happiness in the able to not, that's what we must do, sister and i will even a complete drive. the government is, were to pursue work along these lines to achieve these goals as very important girls were in tedious grain, the interests of our citizens are still bonus variation of though and sir, maybe i would like her a woman to ask the final question. let's, let's,

i give the floor to one of the women here. when you will be sure when you go with, maybe you will pick some one when we can actually pull to rody, maybe brush shirt culture, i can said did release it. so the front draw the the center here last with yet. yes ma'am of luca. good afternoon, yana. what i was zika led him to lagrange culture which nap for a glacier more in the more we that's even the habit means pretty at the near fen. swinging the criminal procedure is strength in use in regarding the alpha promoting extremism or that you would buy something. that's what you skita was. yes. other things like that and even some authors, sir ryder is so play or a book, then you can be started. i'm still persecuted under atheist law or some people who

just applauded that picture and lined with the keys so they can also be persecuted . so where is this line where we can draw this line between protecting someone's feelings and the bride all the northeast to express themselves if the for the great well, because it lays things some pictures on line and derive some part as well. now placing the photo olva, i am not a hitler himmler on the website or all of the mortal regiment would that be considered. so freedom of expression or as a louisiana. let's at least think about english this side of the matter. of course, ultimately freedom of expression, freedom of artists, yoko, so many freedom in general must be protected because without freedom we cannot move forward without freedom, which in a gloomy future awaits us even a future without the happiness you manage to with one bright colors and the but we also must, it's realised that freedom. it also comes in conflict with leo,

with the goals that, that we must achieve when it's comes into conflict with the freedom as of other people. you are a member of the media ana. ah, the, the, the, your channel just got a bill channel culture is a risk collected channels or if you are able to offend, for example, the people who believe profit believe in profit mohammed is this freedom of expression. i believe it has not yet he nor oceania. i believe through the truth. it is an attempt to offense, the display of the feelings, the closest feelings of a person here who has his convictions. and if you do that, if you are a fan to be bold on people's faith, this leads to a further in extremism like what we have seen in the terrorists issues, or whether the, whether the entire newspaper star for moving shorthand,

somebody for neutral. so freedom is something that you.
