we heard from journalist and author, daniel lazar who says, microsoft processing of ukraine's data is yet another example of key of delegating its responsibilities to a foreign power. i think microsoft is. ready has it's very close to the u. s. government, and sometimes the great deal of overlap. so certainly, i think that the, that the ukrainian government at the b as to be half of the us has allowed microsoft to take over much of its data processing. and you know that, that, that, that certainly is not a good thing. and certainly, you know, micro, over the ukraine has essentially, you know, handed out huge amounts of authority to, to washington. so this is just another example of the ukraine delegating the responsibilities of government to an outside power microsoft as, as operated as a, as virtually as an armor. the u. s. government. during the whole,

russia gate controversy. microsoft issued reports that were very. ready for was the u. s. government government position. clearly microsoft thought it was important to cooperate with washington to avoid any kind of regulatory crackdown by washington. and i would see microsoft activities in the ukraine as essentially roughly the same thing occurring where microsoft hastens to do the bidding of the u . s. government. because it knows the us government could make life very, very unhappy for if it didn't do so. acclaimed american novelist stephen king has admitted that he's quite fond of world war 2 nazi collaborator, sta pon been dera, saying that he was, quote, a great man on a call with a duel of russian pranksters, one of whom pretended to be ukraine's president lensky. the best selling author even pledge to use his influence on the u. s. media to engage in information

warfare against moscow. there are our people who have flaws with human beings. we do that are bad choices and then there are things that we do that are great choices. so you know, on the whole, i think ben dera is a great man and you're a great and, and the value of the comedians, known as von and lexus. previously got renowned british author j. k. rowling to say that she had changed. harry potter's lightning bolt scar into a ukrainian trident symbol of that country's national identity. now they've exposed stephen king expressing admiration for ukrainian ultra nationalist stefan mendera, implicated in mass killings of ethnic juice during world war 2. king who appeared wearing a hat with the label. ukraine agreed to make up a report to support western narratives about supposedly evil russians and spread it

by using his influence as an author. we need some scenarios, like what's happened in the ukranian city of butcher. now you know what is happening in mario, pull our soldiers off as of battalion, our national battle, them as a battalion, as of hiding in the basements of the factory and the ration surrounded them, they circle circled them. we need to involve their world community, so that button retreats, and we ardently need to scream their terrible actions of the russian army. we have to screen that you understand you if we show how, for example, the rash and treat them cruelly, they will be scared. if you, as in kite, of, or write to us what the crime russians could do with their innocent nationalists as

of but that in, in the basements like, i don't know, lag that rape of their commander. we could submit this material is real and spread it to the media. we will agree with the commander. he will be alive. of course, this is unofficial, but we need to stand up soon, big before they kill them. so if you can help us, we will be really appreciate yes, we'll do everything that we can. ah, it's very, very important. are to keep this in front of the world to make to world she gave by day and not read out on the things take center stage. we need this creep to please write a script. like i have said, i'll see what i can do. and maybe you have journalists, you know, who could uh,

highlight this in west. i can certainly ask and see what happens. and i will, if i am off head of the simon wise and fall center in israel, says stephen king neglected to fully consider ukrainian history when express support for not the collaborator vendor. mr. king is a novelist. these matters story not quite frankly, i don't think people really take different kings seriously when it comes to politics. and they take it very seriously when it comes to these books. but he has no reputation of being a star and an intellectual or anything. it is the bank, there is a nasty collaborator, mr. but there is a murder. and the susan king obviously doesn't know the history. it's in the act statement yet again, he doesn't know what to do. he didn't know how involved he was in crimes against humanity. will crimes, it said or citing with the nazis and his men,

together with the invading nazis, were involved in the mass, murder of jews in love, and time on other places. and he doesn't, obviously there's no the history or he doesn't care history. all we know now is this the change that once you crate, why we don't know. we also know stephen change those virtually nothing about the history of the brain. and therefore, we should not even begin to take what he says serious joe biden is in hot water on the home front. after failing to drum up support for the struggling u. s. energy market from oil exporting air countries are to kill them up and has the details. all abiding ministration is facing a growing amount of criticism over the continue to high energy costs. in the united states, the cost of gasoline is squeezing. many americans. here's what some republicans

have said, speaking up, blaming the by the ministration for what they say are failed energy policies. how come it's wrong to produce our own oil and gas here, but you can go to saudi arabia and 5th, bob, to try to get it from saudi. i mean, it makes no sense. in fact, what he should have done, and what it should be doing is excavating energy here at home. we have the resources, we need to supply our folks with the energy that we all need. a fundamental problem is that the u. s. is the world's leading super power producing oil and gas. and joe buttons administration is trying to do everything they can, but sen hurt to reduce that production. now, the binding administration and the democratic party are committed to what they call the green agenda. moving against fossil fuels in the name of environmentalism, they have restricted and halted all offshore and onshore drilling on federal lands . in addition to that, they canceled the keystone ex l pipeline. now it's important to note that at this

point we have many leaders of the petroleum industry and united states, basically calling out the buying and ministration, saying, why are they willing to go overseas to try and get more oil when they could simply get more oil domestically this is what a leader of the petroleum industry had to say. instead of meeting with foreign governments to ask them to increase energy production, look to reliable u. s. energy sources here at home, join me and the men and women of america's energy industry. together we can tackle today's energy challenge with energy solutions right here under our feet. well, americans are frustrated with the high price of gasoline and the failure of the biden administration to deal with it now the by the ministration is face in a way of new problems related to this. for example, there is a government watchdog group that is now suing the u. s. department of energy, arguing that their use of the strategic petroleum reserves to deal with the rising

gas prices. what's the states in danger? because every time they make a release of strategic reserves, then those reserves are not there in case of a real national emergency. so people are running frustration with the bio and ministration, and hoping that soon the white house will offer some kind of real solution to the rising energy costs. why that does it for me this hour, but now we hear from russia is top diplomat foreign minister survey leverage in an exclusive interview with our team editor in chief margarita simonian. this is the day mister lovegrove. hello. good morning. this is player, you just got back from a trip and you are going back on a trip benefit. while we are in this international isolation the in somehow you're never home. that's an interesting isolation. so thank you for finding the time between your trips to meet up with us that this is a big privilege for russia, today's boyton, you can re, i always give court all our resources. i hope that i will be able to ask all my questions and i will start with some things that our social media followers and our

audience. i asked because we actually did a poll or you asked our subscribers, what they wanted to ask you. and the most popular question was the following. i will try to re you were dead when we redo when you can join us in order to claim hold talks, peace talks with ukraine or but if we don't, don't hold talks with ukraine. sometimes we say that it's impossible. sometimes we say that if necessary, and i'm saying we at different levels and my subscribers are interested to find out . and actually i want to ask you to, does that make any sense at all? or is it just like some decorum under current conditions? it does make any sense yesterday who's the president tom ford talks with the leaders with iran and turkey during the press conference late in the night talk 1st

. all the meetings were over. he spoke about that and he reminded once again that when in the very beginning of the military special operation, ukrainian leadership asked to launch negotiations. we didn't refuse. we were honest and open to this process. and the 1st rounds of talks that took place and billers, they showed that ukrainian party had no desire to discuss anything in earnest. and then we suspended them over our estimates and said if you want to wear it seriously, then give us something on paper. so that we could understand about which agreements you want to speak and they gave as a paper that we supported and yes for the president reminded about that we were ready to go to the principals as the days is and to sign a document. and that was drafted logical based on their vision of the

situation. and in a pro we had this document, then that was the end of it. we never heard from them. anything else we hear from shoulds and stories. johnson used to speak about that he doesn't speak about that anymore and nice, wonderful in my line and morale, the chief diplomat that ukraine should wean. beta tori is on the battle field that he crane should not participate in the negotiations because their position at the front line is week. and the 1st crane should fix that. when you change that, they should dominate over the rocks and armed forces. over at dawn, that is going to be against malicious and only then when they have stronger him, they should start negotiations. but when you use, it meant nothing basically because they can't do that anymore. so you go because ukraine won't be able to do that. what do you mean by this poor man's job?

you prosper and you get it built, they would not succeed and they will not be able to. she said he was moving. anything significant that desert, any attention from any serious face show us and what keeps them from any constructive champs? what literally they are not just pumped with weapons. they are forced to use this weapons in greece care ways increasingly rates care way. that's for instructors and service. men are sitting there working with all those weapons. hi emerson, the others. it's not a secret anymore. even though our american counterparts, through the counterpart spoke anglo saxon, i think with the active support from germans and polish and all the states, they really want to turn these were into real war. and to let these dark confrontation between russia and european states aid said vendor for don teachers

for and i knew that you asked for the cave. they are sitting behind the ocean. they are far away and it is your opinion economy, that software demos, there were data that 40 percent suffers from some sanctions from the you and american suffered better than one percent when we took a look at the comprehensive negative outcome solve those sanctions and restrictions . so here i have no doubt that ukrainians will not be allowed to partake and they negotiations until the americans will the thing that well enough with vegas enough with this case. now we can play this and let them do their things and we will see what they will do about it. do you think it's possible with this plan, the big war plan, as you called it, this conflict between russia and europe, because that means nuclear war. do you think that's possible at all americans? they don't really think about it. so the guys who aren't hold on please. now in the

us the, our client base is and they want to achieve for some new heights and their careers and their job site and know how they will try to achieve their skills within based administration. but they are acting wells that are responsible, i would say, and the plans and they make their building. so they really usually have some risks and we wouldn't need to tell them that. but they don't want to talk to us and we don't want to run out for them. so we use down dialect, and it was useful at least we could locate each other in the eye and explain our positions. but they interrupted it to operate the launch of their special military operation bud the fact that they are playing a very dangerous game. i don't, it seems the standard themselves, but in europe, a lot of people start to understand that you don't. of course we should or, i mean, they are not thinking about it, but what do we think? is it possible?

is this nuclear conflict between russia in europe? is it possible we initiated a lot of statements vibe, security console permanent members that there could be no big ter, in the nuclear war, it could navigate the when they started. bass has our stance and we are going to send firmly on the stands. and we also help our dock train that clearly stipulates what could be the case when we would be forced to use nuclear weapons and our partners counterparts. tribals as they probably consider themselves. so they say pho, that's what they call us. now we achieving the ship, and of course, obviously we consider the landscape as a legitimate representative of ukraine. i always wanted to ask you, but why? because we're fed so many times and that's justified. that's what's happening in ukraine right now. it's the result of the could at all. that happened well,

maybe not under the landscape before the landscape zelinski became president because of all those events. why did we recognize all of that? recently when there was no cron. and he had probably his ideas, selves, doctrine, when he did that, when he showed us it in put it out in the open, the phone conversations that took place or early february with potential for the. and so you can hear clearly couldn't vary. one micron tries to convince him not to delve too deeply into fulfilling the means good courage. so why don ask what lo ganske? so they are legitimate. you need to work within the context of those interpretations that we are suggesting. so that russia and ukraine found an agreement and landscape the ones that and put and told them that zelinski is the outcome of kuta taught.

true. and this regime didn't go anywhere if you remember how things and folded up are the qu, 1st of all, germany, french and poland. so those who perpetrated the qu, they speed in their faces because they weren't guaranteeing they weren't the grandparents. something was agreements any the very next morning. these agreements were forgotten and they accepted what happened to us for us and couple of years ago as the germans and french guys. so what about the cool? so how do you see it? what do you think about it? if you didn't demand from those who from the cheese to fulfill this agreements, man, they were saying, well that what happens with democracy is sometimes, and these are adults who are holding high positions in their governments. but up for those who took blades out for a crime, in some people from the east that the grain refuse to recognise these coo and

crimea at all. and it with the referendum about 3 and the cation with the ranch in don bad. and it, with the rick years old to talk to the central government and a leadership and you legitimate government, the launch this war and then pression, co runs for ran for president. there was a general election in may and france, germany allowed merkel other european leaders for us. they were basically begging, put not to say beforehand that he was not going to recognise the outcomes of the elections and put and sent back. then since per cinco is running with the p slogans that he wants to stop the war that he wants to restore the rights of all the craniums, including those who leave ben, don babs, we just didn't have anything against the legitimacy of that pro source of those elections, but as it turned out, person co,

immediately forgot about all his campaign, promises about his lecture 8, so he'd like to them and to he is western curators. and he started the new round of war. that was very hard to stop. in february 2015, we took a lot of effort to stop it and the main sk agreements were assigned and brushing goes sad recently that he was never going to fulfill them. he just signed them 2 months wrap, some strength, economic strength, and military strength to conquer back the lens. and that's why he signed me agreements. didn't we understand that when he was signing those? if you ask for my perception, i hope that you still have some good conscience on him, but he could only mean one thing that he's now at meeting about his true feelings. now he's in the true plans that he was never going to implement the document that was endorsed by the security council of the un. and once again,

this year was openly in the public here, reaffirm that he was not only jude him, a president because he didn't think about international law and the landscape who came to town. where once again, he came to power using promises to establish peace, that he wants to achieve peace and calm and ukraine, and that all citizens of ukraine, the one to speak russian, they should speak russian. no one is going to bully them, bother them knowing there's going to discriminate against them. now look at what he's speaking now. so he was the next door guy like a teacher, that person from the people and he defeated all those, all the guards. and he finally paid out every doubt to the international fund, and now everyone was free and corrupted. parliament was disrupted by him and he was always emphasizing and videos. there are footage out those statements. you cannot

hide from bed. and he was defending the rights of russian culture of russia language he's, he's a max term is a lover of he is an actor of you, he's an actor. and so it's easy for him to change opinions to change hard. but what he said this on the, when he was asked, what do you think about the people who leave undone dazzling. he said, you know, there are people and there are a species that some quoting him, mr. lansky now. and he was the one who said that if any one fails russian shamelessly, then for the sake of the children of their grandchildren, they should leave for russia. that was leisurely walk me through yardie said the very next day opera, kuda time, february 2014 russians will never think ukrainian they will never speak ukrainian. they will never honored our heroes and russians should go away from crimea. job sculptor, career center, nicola saucen, i think it's some kind of

a national code ambros speaking about these to lead to assumed office. it said in 3rd dna, there was yet a new can between gatos, but a sanguine savanski who go directly cold people in don basketball in human, non human home. so good luck. remember for a shampoo, says our children will go to school and your children and sit in the basement. he told it to his people, the people that he considered these people will, but you must resume and now they're saying that they will liberate arleas. but without the people who did the study, i don't know how they will communicate to those people. as liberal climate, startling, the pricing will go to the shop because they're just going to kill all down. was a high mercy from america. i was hoping that the had some conscience but not everyone is like us. if you have that not, it doesn't mean that all of our so called partners who at the same level of consciousness. and i deal with mary is a higher and i just discuss our partners and we of course made jokes because it's

hard not to allow you to see those jokes. like baseline widens, laser beam will look at the statement for her. mm hm. and bianca, all we know about this new one is that she's gay. she's lived in the bedford. well, she said once she took the new office and that's the only valuable thing about her . and that's the most it all she wants us to know about her. and when asked to, what by doing was doing for 2 days. she said, well, he was thinking about the american people. well, and the western leaders are just all the stepping down. many of them are stepping down and many of them are showing signs of world here. i'm a woman, so i can't really, i can't really say the exact words with whatever, but you will probably say it better because they are showing signs of limited just unable to me yet use intelligence. i guess

they're not really new. they don't look more adequate enough to me and may be those who will replace them, will be more adequate. what do you think are the rules of that? but we can describe it differently. we can say that doesn't go to class. that is training. now in the west they are restricted adequacy issues, so they are adequate in their own eyes, but they are restricted from the point of view, political experience or philip page and from there, no, no, but with the why is that when you know you that this is i don't know why it's that, but a lot of people, not as that in the case of everybody, he's that that's impossible not to notice that the shuttle and henry kissinger was talking about that he remembered trailer, into rack and fall, not in a rude way, but he made it clear that there is a strong contrast these average chatted hued tolerance, political processes,

and that we should collect people who are stuck with the question person glue clear and who will use very simple things to talk about. so now they have this green transition because everyone is choking. everyone is going to die. all things people base will disappear in the people will laugh alone in the dance urgently because so now they have this green transition and president putin spoke about it and how they were building it, escalating it and their policy as well. and it was a great failure because they didn't really think it through the glass for adequacy, which wow, i didn't know that sort of not yet. don't know why it's happening, but the lack of really what flint, boeing the dried leader is. so it's something really convenient for them. the democrats, i guess we couldn't child's rockefeller or her new models. so the earned your

appeal commission, 60000, tell them that's a lot with you. they become a thing and it's sell, poland, and hungary. they are asking close question, know, why do we have to listen to these people, including listed regarding those areas. we never let them make decisions for us. so it's the american type, the state in europe. and they are not that deep. so very lead european commission, the so like shell states railings. no, that's right. that's why it's and so this band limits swinging from one side to the other and the pendulum is now the is on the side that the rules of associated with the past integration. now it is going to swing to the other side, one imposed demands, imposing by brussels. like i said, they are not always based on some legal lawful,

grim and so they start to irritate. so you start to stand in the way for the nations to build their internal policies in accordance with their traditions, their politics. so now they are bothering and gary and about propagating done with non traditional values, but they don't want to like, we don't want to many others don't want to, but the european commission starts to demand to change or is stands or we one bond you want to allocate any funds to you probably would have done both of us . so that was already agreed upon. and i think that's it said for the european union. but it's a happy thing for us. then it's a good thing for us. i didn't think it is. so we should not be glad about people in europe living and poor conditions, which of course we don't want them to freeze to death,

but maybe if they get sick of all the impositions not may be good, things will happen. and national politicians will come to power who will want to have good relations with russia because it doesn't benefit anyone to have conflicts with russia. well, i guess it's a healthy process. when people get freed delusions, that brussels is going to make every decision for them. it is going to be the same thing every day. cheap energy, cheap food, everything is going to be well at the, i guess the deal with someone has to be done for the sake of europe itself, before the se called the nations that inhabits here, but young as how it is going to happen. i don't know, we are not going to be glad, i don't think we are going to be much concerned about this. i think we just need to take this position on the side. so you chose this, you want to leave,

and these conditions you want to get treat up those ties, nature types of vantages, ties that were billed for decades in energy logistics and supply chains and transfer communications. while fade is up to you, we are not going to impose ourselves on you. but when you will complete this pro, it's as if you would be able to complete it with the profit broker. so which is impossible, which would go to the stories. it will cost you dearly for a future development of european economy. then please don't ask us to return back to any agreements because you prove that you are unreliable. and we can't make any strategic investments. considering the development for a country and element of its external ties when we cannot plan, it had that coupon based on going with such a partner as we are going to have different.
