many african counterparts. first of all about ours, my little relations with amber yield the african nations. we have a consistent trend to the crew with the trade turnover and investment activity. and of course the speakers are far behind the company with the european or especially chinese companies. god very great prospect or growth. there are a lot of projects, a lot of lands and we grab package of agreements for the 2nd summit of rush africa that we plan to hold in the middle of next year. and then you ask for food security . obviously it is of interest for everyone to see the poor, happy one, support samford efforts to get because the top is trading obstacles you were billed by the european union, london, and washington in relation to ask for russian fertilizers in russian grain. everyone, welcome that package. deal that was completed by the journalist secretary and that

was signed and needs to go through and that it's made for the landscape to do mine . ukrainian because he refused to do this. in margin, official in march rushing target suggested him to new lab that ships that he was keeping hostage there to go missing or the for the full and bus for school probably would know that we are ready to get them up to the eucharist. restraint of the ukrainian brain who it's of when they're still got the poorest countries that are sniffer, that i'm in the lease of the world health because of global health program. just some small amounts of grain was working faster than some other country. and you mind, you got your pins whose attention we went through to the fact that on the top of it, the bottom when you export it to them, we were told that the are going to redirect the grain to the african nations as well. but nevertheless, i see sure it works somehow, i guess,

as for the russian part of video that was true near the but in you not q food, of some not doing fertilizers as separate articles are not mentioned in the sanctions by the us or the you for some other things are mentioned there, for example, russian vessels and frame for in ports or for a new samples entering rushing ports are also was bunk glove and he says, she'll house bang the main agriculture and fans on the country that is servicing the lion's share of all the deals with fertilizers include script or is being sanctioned and against for all the threats at the west is always stuff throwing around the insurance for us. we're, our ships were increased for times and in bad part of the agreement that concerned the russian drain. so you would also use the start of the secretary channel that has sent that he will make sure your opinion in the us to leave the sanctions. i

met him the day before yesterday and he reaffirm that there is still a lot has to be done. and publicly he said that there are still some obstacles, but there is still some promises that he is getting. so it's in the hands of the hedge funds that are trying to ship the responsibility to wise. but in reality, no one was hungry when the west was bomb, being iraq and afghanistan and libya for a year when their mom being syrian. now when there is war in yemen, haven't you could have factored? the global situation hasn't really come and you the gas bag. then the commanders were parting, read his orders because we were implementing there. i took the sense of superiority of our sense of impunity goods and now than harry kenslowe. your wood needs are stopped when you start from he. good. are you going somewhere? someone is not allowing them to destroy your culture,

russian language and everything else. and someone is stopping them from crying to like you throw russians away from their end of total sneak of been in response. we got his package of sanctions said when you no one has biskugoma seen anything like that. and with that were introduced, we bowed at you any care about those countries about those developing countries just to show you such a group of wood, hopefully that that would be affected by this actions by the us sands or a saddle ice. when this is allan doug from mtv low, can you please elaborate more? was the role of the saudis, and the turkish and easing the christ that they showed will to join forces maybe to help maybe solve this because this happening between these 2 nations. and can you tell us if they are communicating with each other before of bringing any draft or a try to give any help to the russians? nominal, you pred logo busted and still flew u. haul a lot of people such as will gerald see thought cisco, mediating or service as,

as upper turkey, the blade, an important piece of art when be invited, ukrainians and russians and the u. n. representatives to the yahoo, eastern bull word this agreement was reached, that, that i had just talked about. and now, you know, we are expecting from the secretary channel, then from the turkish side when you sandwiches the yards to as a new party to this agreement. we expect from them, are you ready to snatch you with your pre blanca thought of being an american, to leave those obstacles, to implement the russian part of the deal as what i see here on. and i was watching greenwich windows and low believe medium link, lunch, bigger roles, and clean and grain. and i haven't mentioned also that 300000 thompson hurdle lines are replaced your water margin long in the european per cent. more a month and

a half. now, we stand that we are radio or companies are radio to you still, when you renounce from the rise sunday fertilizers to send them fast to the needy country like that. many of them are interested in 4 months and a half. now they are opinions who are trying to make the decisions and, you know, fertilizers, so they don't boost that along to us. and even more they belong to the european union countries. so lamp been given to these countries that are on the lease of the global food program as saudi arabia was announced that they found brains. and then solomon participated in the details of basically if you change this positive shift and as for other kind of mediation, you know, look at it. well, i mean, a lot of people are offering very hard to say we want to see what count from days without any mediators in march and march of this year. so can i ask is really good

. separately. we agreed with the ukranian delegation, but on the principles of compliments, the new car sales principles were drafted by the craniums themselves. we accepted down without any changes, and then the next day changes started to happen. they said that it should be different. and then there was a predication in the town of future religion that to the received when troops with the it withdrawn from there at the gesture of goodwill. when they were lab work, the mayor of the cd came there for 2 days. he was making statements on the tv and there was saying that how light is getting better. and then on the 3rd day they showed as the huge st, wide, st, with the dead body of the corpses flying all over it, the mayor and his team were there for 2 days. and then he did not. is that for 2 days. and he only nodded back if you'll only on the 3rd day that's for the color. and i would really like you also to influenza ukrainians and their friends. we miss

it's awesome. it's not the 1st time that we asked because everyone was in. we think on the investigation on what happened in months now we are asked them to tell us the names of those people that were shown most on t v or online and we only get silence and response. i haven't mentioned that during the security council meeting, and then i also as good terrorist for him to take care of that to take charge of that scandal. you spoke with you to know how can explain that? so they turned the scandal. they used to have another package of anti rushing sanctions. they demanded investigation. so what should be the 1st step and basic prob, at least 2 of them. i didn't find that people that were allegedly were killed by the russian with the army store to go to you brucely. and then there was the town

of israel. something worthy announced that there was some kind of them which in the sky regionally, because they only see one semester burial side of people to return and what you learn ukrainians. so they show the grade side, but that's not to ask them. graveside, every grade had a orthodox cross above it, so people have word buried and then cranium scheme and started to dig them out. yes . so there are not least of just for your information. there was in transit from a number of turn, leads it from or internally to guild their seat with their own eyes. and the training inside does not allow them to go there. and no one is writing about is zoom anymore. so please just leave it in the note, but the commission sets it no, think about these things because keyboards, they really like to hear all these groups. but the responsibility is on those who are trying to publish these kinds of scripts under the current conditions region.

so even more so evelyn and lee is 2 questions, one by one. those are if you have spoken in detail about ne, tell encroachment, do you see perhaps after this war and that you call it a war not seems to be one on any kind of talk with the united states to make leisure feel more secure about what you call me can quote, you know, to me, years ago she would new, you know, when i insured us sanibel bad monday. and i can read parade yet because we do not will you look it up us to part with a not for noun promotion context and when we have proposals of this kind,

which re to them. but you horoscopes that it's showing. if there was no in partners one, those who need the looters highland leave. so, but no one learned that. okay, it's fine with us because it's always better to speak than not to speak. but the situation that we are currently in deal with russia is not going to make any 1st saudi social and shouted pink was destroyed, back and plenty for clean. when the european union stopped all go conducted. rashel rosier context destroyed dirty architecture, a fall relations with the european union. when fitted the wilder well came into the we told them when you have been crazy, you move into anything. so just more. tell us it. we'll schedule our interest. do then of all siegel mother and wife had sans then natal wasn't cooking in the heat of the conversation on how we should build the european infrastructure architecture through duke of nashville, puts that it's to put another grim at them was a lucas got sort of sent away almost all the represented himself each,

our delegation was in the city of them was accordingly. and then we had down this already put us on the representation. at least we put it in hold the activities of these, you're positive, you get the total, but it goes to the body of the game. so these context, those which mediators that made any suggestions because we heard a lot of battery, and i told them we're just here, but i see president lance, he was saying that we aren't going to finish russia off. we are going to liberate everything. and in my space, all the old, there'll be no neutral status. so he was heating at dam being admitted to nato again. and as for americans, americans security. so nice. well, you know, what kind of attitude americans have coverage? you're most canadians can and that is the ukrainian, nationally, they were saying that for some time now ukraine is europe or more americans from what i see the want to promote another slogan,

europe is ukraine. clear skies collaborate, but it was sad when he was as if ukraine wants to join lay to now after his lansky, literally a that is not from your playing groups because there will be no deal with our neutral status. he said nato will now join ukraine, not the other way around. he's not politically said, you know, i didn't know maybe for some political, insidious comedy show you the issue. it would be some interesting thing to say yes . then you know, but sure body you be, are going to pro charger vans will see, but we will not be the one to approach them. so we go to special have from all the conclusions that they cannot be negotiated with. they are selfish to the bone. they are only thinking about their interests about themselves. i me new boots. they are

not going to follow the balance of in craig with you're not going brush. wanted to look for one. i was asked for by brainers and a by eternally from germany. but it's hard to reach for a force of nature. these questions m as up a, it's necessary for the alley, the worst of all their western country to do with the to continue to demonize. russia were processing, yet these questions did not reflect any interest what storm could shook. i thought it was the soya pros the it's the way that you are, but if you're from a lady your question, is that a dialog possible evey approach as well? so thank you. very much, mr. lester, and i know you're back in an old home i'm edith letter of from the associated press. on this week, we have listened to heads of state and heads of government repeatedly call

for an end to this conflict in ukraine which has had global ramifications. we've also heard military experts saying that there seems to be no desire on either side to negotiate because they believe that they can win militarily. ah, howard, you respond to both of those views. will yoga ya. so she stitched none of it. so i have you heartily responded to this question, which i am hello. and i said again, soon out for the launch shall fall, regulatory abil nights your ration you train, which was suggested to starting rotation, is to say all this,

nascar is all this conflict agreed. there was a few rounds. think oceans 1st and bellows, then green. so that online where you ukrainians could not even explain what they were suggesting. then there was a meeting and a total and margin $29.00, where a principal gave us handed us over her dad. it's a sad principles of settlement and we agreed to these papers without any changes to the rain suppose use and we turned these principles into legal language and we gave it back to the train. then there was that i mentioned the name. so if you read it to people that we still want to see and we will spend another, so we're trying to get them and then americans told ukrainians that he should not agree to the napoleon boy. but in any agreement with roger, you shoot for his diploma on z, achieve something on the battlefield and burrell, who is supposed to be people

a matter. he's sad that this conflict should only be resolved on the battlefield with victory. oh, be great. and now just listen to them, you used to listen devoris johnson. and now listen to the trust. the are a saying the same thing, the nato, and all of them that the crimea should be taken back. and what kind of negotiations are possible under these conditions. and you got the last thing that we had at the mass or the context with ukraine as was agreeing to vary paper on the principles of unusually under resolving that, trying to vend the when the wages read. the letters statements are made from europe that day before yesterday. they know compromise your pieces war. i don't know what we can talk about in this position because we have one group of mediators that i mad here as well. respectable, international, regional organization. and they were saying, so we can be able to hear what do you want us to tell them and you could well,

but you know, i think that i told you that they were the ones to stop the ocean after which in the middle of the summer, i was asked why russia, when your cousin refuses to have negotiations, and he said, we do not refuse to have negotiations. but those who do, you should understand that the longer because they will be using bending and they harder will it be to come to agreement eventually once again the field with our goodwill. but the other side does not want to you. and those mediators who are going to go to kfc and i would ask them, did you talk to american citizens with your, as part of your mediating efforts? made one stop for a moment. and then they said, we only have mandate on negotiations with russia. ukraine, why is that? how's your, is that that is listed for you and you, when you my it, any one grade or what you say. you said you understand. i understand that ukraine is being planned by the united states and by london,

the youth values the need. when these ashley's questions are asked by the term lease from europe, from england, from the united states. but you mean you got why we are not ready to have your com . thanks a lot of the key. i'm telling you that they for be the president of cyprus to meet with me. i do actually, and it's your queue that always was or was a move that i'm open and the yonder hook up the leader is she she skipped from the respectable stitch countries and they were asking for the secret meeting. i told them okay, good. and then they disappeared from the reader and on us there was one more prime minister who did that. so please don't put this label on us that we are the ones for refusing every think about. that was the last one thing. well, i think he's had enough, there's the russian for him. and so 30 last row, spending a lot of time taking q and a,

with the press and attendance right off that he did is big address at the un general assembly. he went to the back door to the press for q and a, and he offered an awful lot of questions. we'll just run down a few of them for you here on our team to national. hopefully, we're going to patch through at some point soon to a corresponding kellum off, and who has been monitoring all this q and a in new york life rough was asked to clarify the question about the possible use of nuclear weapons by russia. of course, in the heat of the ukraine conflict. lateral said, no one remembers that in january this year's lensky, the ukranian president, even before russia thought that his military operation, soleski stated in the public address that it was a big mistake for ukraine to renounce nuclear weapons when the soviet union collapsed. this conversation was started by zelinski not by russia and russia's nuclear doctrine is available to everyone. it explains cases when russia can use nuclear weapons. it was also asked the questions if the republics and the referendums during our special coverage, by the way,

here and see if the republics and eastern ukraine do, join russia off the referendums. when a strike against them be a strike against the territory of russia, and could it lead to some sort of world war 3 lateral said the entire territory of the russian federation in shrine to the constitution is to be protected by russia. everyone can see what's happening and ukraine law. ralph said it's being flooded with weapons. and every day, so lensky says to europe, give me more. europe or nato countries are providing vast logistics, support ukraine, including hundreds of satellites, some of them private, but also 70 military satellites. belonging to nato in america are also being used. american nato weapons are all over the ukrainian battlefield. it is a direct participate, but of participation in the war. and yet they say they're not a party to the conflict. laughter offsets who would believe that western countries are pumping weapons into ukraine and they cannot call themselves neutral. even the government websites were appealing to westerners to get involved in the conflict in

ukraine. the u. s. also is by no means neutral in the ukraine conflict with a lot of other questions that are off there on. so you can find more of the information about all of those at r c dot com for the meantime. let's get back to our special coverage off the international so it is day to voting was well under way, of course, upholding stations of clothes. now it's about $1022.00 down in that part of the world right now. but of course, the historic referendums being held for don bass and to other regions on whether or not they will join russia. we continue on special coverage. ah.
