a group when you, when you're in with the school or some delusion, look a little booklet lucian with ah, yes, the, on joining russia, that's how the referendums been done by us. and 2 other regions ended with the locals voting to secede from ukraine. we hear from people on the ground on how they feel about with no one forces us to come. you can feed yourself people coming voluntarily. i'm so happy i'm about to cry. i'm really happy if you come along the way and i've been waiting for it for ages as western countries label the referendum to shana and refuse to recognize the results, rushes, i'm boss of that to the year when accuses them of double founded in more of what is

union recognition is such takes place only if approved in the west that out is critical referendum in the don't bus that up a roger on coastal regions where at one time at the forefront to support the customized independence. no referendums were held in kosovo told on poland former foreign minister, hence that us involvement and explosions that hits the north stream pipeline with very well welcome to you. it's tough, 10, 10 am here in the russian capital. you're watching all the international with the latest news out. thank is good to have you with us. now we take off this wednesday morning, is millions across for regions in ukraine decisively in favor of joining russia off . he brings you the latest on the referendums and the don't boss. republics have don't yet scans no down skin to other regions that but it was yeah, i'm just some final results and the don't yet were public indicate over 99 percent voted to join russia with the dance republic showing 98 percent voting in favor in

the regions of samples yet unclear, so the polling results showed 93 percent and 87 percent respectively voting in favor of joining russia, the highest turnouts in the pose within the don. yes, republic, whatever. 2000000 people caused that votes over 1600000 voted in the la guns republic, while in both cases and upper dozier regions. over a 1000000 went to the pulse. we spoke to the president of the brick, the international forum who was part of the international monitoring team in dumbass. she says, the mood of people that contradicts the western narrative. i found there 2 people about whom we were hearing, that they are under the gun point or they are having controlled by that issue. now to be found that they are very fee there participating. and i find them like a celebration and press to grimsley really giving message to the world that there

is no fear, nor any pressure, and they are taking their own right. you and russian government did not participate . do they only provided logistic and infrastructure to the along the lines and don't stick people to conduct the venue, come to the grounds, then you will understand what did the d n a d from our united nation office. you can not see everything. so this is not what they were in international media is going on. i think most of the time there is a fake news. during last 9 months. we observed that so many fake news circulated to the by the western media to eastern word code words. the votes was the key item for discussion at the united nations security council meeting, where the u. s. denied the legitimacy of the referendum, forcing rushes ambassador to remind the west of its own history with breakaway regions. recognition as such takes place only if approved in the west. in general,

the western version of democracy has deteriorated into a dictate of a liberal minority over conservative majority the loudest critics of referendums. in the dumbass laportia and kirsten regency were at one time at the forefront of support for castillo's independence. no referendums were held in kosovo toll. only a declaration of independence adopted by the provisional self governing body in excess of its powers was but back then it was enough for the west to recognise costello's independence. lina said exertion. well, the un security council, the 15 member body that leads the united nations, convened the meeting today in the security council chamber. now, immediately russia spoke up at the beginning of the meeting, making clear that they objected to the fact that latimer zalinski the grand resident was given a platform mobile to speak via video link to the un security council meeting. they said clearly that this was simply turning the un security council chamber into a place to put on political shows to serve in your political agenda. it did not fit

with the rules of the you and russia made clear their objections. then we heard from rosemary decarlo under secretary we heard from zalinski who then address live video link. and then when members of the security council spoke, he was very clear that there were differences among the major countries. now we heard about russia and the united states, both permanent members of the security council here is the clear differences between the 2. if you, we know the outcomes of the sham referenda were pre determined in moscow. they in no way represent a legitimate expression of the will of the ukrainian people who i'd like to say that the referendums were conducted transparently upholding old electro norms. more than $100.00 independent international observers from 40 countries observe the referendum, they gave the opinions to the media. but unfortunately, you weren't head is in western media story that might be carried out with weapons provided to kiya by the united states. this is what anthony blank and said shortly

before the un security council meeting. will the us still allow ukrainian troops to use us weaponry to defend against russians in those territories, no matter what the outcome of these referendums and this, these possible annexations ukraine has the absolute right to defend itself throughout its territory, including to take back the territory that has been illegally seized one way or another. by right now, the nato. she also made clear that while nato countries are supplying weapons to the key of government, that they do not consider nato to be part of the ongoing conflict. they consider this to be a fight between ukraine in russia, and while nato is supportive of ukraine, they are not directly involved. regardless, that was the context in which the un security council meeting took place. now the un security council is tasked with making sure world peace continues and deescalate

in conflicts. but it seems like, as russia pointed out, the un security council was just used as a platform for gram standing, just as a place to put on political shows to demonize russia when real danger to world peace and the possibility of this conflict escalating too much greater heights are hanging over our heads says results of the response of the united states and its allies to the referendum kennestone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war phase. he's not surprised these regions voted the way they did. there was an enthusiastic response on the part of the people of these for republic, for integration into the russian federation. and it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone because of these 4 areas where the most are opposed and to the a legal who that took place in 2014 in kiev, that brought to power

a hunter. nazi infested hunter that remove their rights to speak. russian and to, and to have political parties represent themselves. so, and, and then there's no hunter launched a war of aggression against these parts of the country. so it's no surprise at all . it shouldn't be that there was an overwhelmingly positive response in the referenda to joining the russian federation. the west has a key is russia as conducting referendums, quote ads gunpoint south, while ignoring ukraine's threats to punish locals for taking part in the vote. and the relentless shelling by key and forces ortiz egleston. authentic. this report from the city of la ganske, as the counting of the votes, is now over. it was a very emotional day for all the full regions that were taking part in the referendum. as all of them overwhelmingly chose to say yes to russia and well,

no to you, craig, but see you have to understand that a parent and your son are relatively new to this family of well regions that were seeking to join their big brother instead of the da nets, callaghan people's republics, they have walked a very thorny and difficult road towards this day. there were fighting for the right to be heard. of course, it's all about the people here and well they did not shy away from sharing their true emotions with journalists elsewhere. and i'm really happy. we've come a long way and i've been waiting for it for ages. gordon gordon. no one forces us to come. you can see it yourself, people come voluntarily, i'm so happy. i'm about to cry. the word in them for i think the ref ransom was more than successful and completely for joan in russia. i voted was daily. so we've been eagerly waiting for this for the 8 years we've had war here in the don bus line. yet that was there's a desire to see changes to have stability certainty in your life. a desire to just

live a peaceful life and see your parents calm. and care free. it is fair to say that the vote here and in all regions happened at gunpoint, but not in the sense that the western medium, our western politicians might lead you to believe. but raw that guns pointed from the key of sight at the people at the polling stations at the booths as a, even here in logan's people. and i just, the polling stations were shelled relentlessly by the key of military. our people had to interrupt the voting. they had to hide and bomb shelters, similar a similar situation and similar picture in many other regions in other regions, taking part in the vote. so for the key of authorities, this is something this vote they aren't recognizing it of who's there cooling at a sham and in fact they have threatened everyone taking part in the vote no matter how they're aware their mind and hearts ways are in favor of yes or no, they've threatened to everyone taking part in the vote with the legal action with

the prison terms if they were ever to get their control over these parts again. well, next, the heads of all the full regions, they will have to make a bidding in front of latimer putin on behalf of the millions of people who voted in favor of yes to join russia to make that happen as quickly as possible. we're going to be keeping updated on all the latest on the event in it on bass, republics and breakaway regions on what the future holds for them. so to stay with us for that the poland, former foreign minister, hence the u. s. involvement in the north stream pipeline explosions. it comes off the suite in said the cause of the damage could be down to an active sabotage without mentioning the possible culprits. there is no shortage of pipeline capacity

for taking gas from russia to western europe, including germany. thank you, usa. let's find out more join him in the studio is ortiz, marina cancer, as a marina, when the news broke about the damage to the pipeline. yesterday, it was a real head scratch. it wasn't like it could possibly benefit from damaging these pipelines. so what do you know? well, that sweets was very suspicious and rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman even commented on it, asking whether it was an official admission of a terrorist attack. because at the moment, all signs are pointed towards the united states on tuesday, german magazine spiegel claimed that the c i had warned germany about possible attacks on the gas pipelines in the baltic sea were also learn. and now about site savings of american helicopters hovering over that area along the roots of the pipelines. a few weeks ago. back in june, americans were boasting about conducting underwater drone experiments in the same

area we're, one of the blasts took place. also, most importantly, i would say back in february, you, as president joe biden, had warned that nordstrom to could become a target. and even the us media are making that connection right now. let's listen . it is true that blowing up north stream does not help vladimir putin. he would not do that. why would he? but that doesn't mean that other countries wouldn't consider doing it. they would consider it, and we know they have considered it because at least one of them has said so in public, if russian rage that means thanks for troops crossing the on the border of ukraine. again, there are no, there will be we, there will be no longer a nor stream to we will bring it. and how will you do that? exactly. since the product and control of the product is within germany's control, i promise you will be able do an end. maybe they did after all,

they used to get 40 percent of its gas of, from russia. and now we had reduced flows because of western sanctions. technical issues and now this leaks gas flow has been halted completely prompting european countries to look for alternative sources with america being a one of those sources. but of course no one wants to hear the side of the story. they're more interested in blaming russia. accused in that of an act of aggression . and this for us, or of course means they would be like should in itself in the foot. but again, they're more interested in saying that this is all russia's fault, and poland actually seems to be there a mouth piece lately. let's have a look. this is probably a signal from russia. this shows what means of mechanisms. the russians are capable of resulting 2 in order to further de stabilize europe. now, the head of the european commission said that whoever is responsible, whoever is behind it, will have to pay for it. of course, he didn't,

they didn't specify who yet. and ukraine, the cranes, ukraine's presidential advisor already jumped on the bandwagon accused rush of an act of aggression saying that it's trying to create a free winter panic and is asking for more weapons which is also very convenient. europe is already and equipment this energy crisis. how will the damage to the pipelines now affect the people in europe? what was seen a gas prices in europe skyrocket on these news? on tuesday they increased by 10 percent, but if we compare energy prices to the same time and september 2021, for example, the increase to 100 percent. so consumers are really feeling it right now. and especially when winter will start, they're very worried that they will not be able to afford to stay to stay warm bots . of the president of the german energy regulator has said that even though the market situation is tense right now,

germany and europe are no longer dependent on nordstrom supplies, and there will be just fine. so we'll see when, when for start. okay, i came marina me. thanks for coming over those details. moving a closer than the victory of a far right coalition in italy has caught shock in some parts of the media. while you chief live on the lion. i want to be starting to market to democracy, posed by what she described as autocratic trojan horse, i think, contributes a way to monitor, brings with more details. it was barely a few days ago that european commission, president ursula vander line in her american style. state of the european union address, spoke of the need to defend democracies from autocrats. we will not allow any autocracies trojan horses to attack our democracies from within sundays victory. of georgia maloney's populace right when coalition in italian parliamentary elections has underscore. the fact that a talker sees trojan horses that represent

a threat to the democratic will of the people of e. u. member states are indeed already inside the big u bar. actually they're running it and yes, they're foreign as in foreign to the country whose citizens have just exercised their democracy. italy will not leave the e you, but will block necessary reforms the you must not be naive when dealing with the new government. it's obvious. district, italy, of course, is a cause for concern. parties in this coalition have said and done things that should make us vigilant. this relates to russia and to financial and economic issues. but we need to give her a chance. it was woman talking to these are uncertain times and at times like this populace movements always grow. but it always ends in the same way in catastrophe because they offer simple short term on sister problems which are very complex. this is an authoritarian model that is contrary to the pillars of european construction, which is the basis of all prosperity. there is,

he said that the european establishment is having right now because the italian people chose a government that lacks the u seal approval. shows exactly why its grip on power has been slipping as proven by recent parliamentary votes in france, italy and sweden and municipal elections last weekend in the czech republic, where the populace party 117 of the 27 larger cities. rather than acknowledging what these recent votes represent, that is the rejection of the eas policies, including anti russian energy sanctions, which have created the current energy and cost of living crisis. and telling europeans that their democratic expression of will is being heard and adjusting their policies in course of action. as a result, what's happening instead is that the notion of democracy itself is being corrupted by those who claim to defend it. the western establishment is undermining democracy by defining it as something that can only result in an outcome that they approve and qualifying pretty much anything else as the result of some sort of foreign

meddling. when the obvious foreign meddling in italian elections is coming from brussels and being eco by its ideological foot soldiers across the block and brussels interference in the supposedly sovereign affairs of other countries, isn't even limited to elections or to its member states. serbia, which is still a candidate for you membership, made a deal with moscow last friday in new york, merely to have foreign policy consultations amid the crisis in ukraine. now any country should be free to do what it wants in its own best interest that just seems normal, right? democratic. but the e reactive like a toll control freak, it's a very clear sign of their intention to strengthen their ties to further strengthen relations between serbia and russia. and this is raising serious questions. we are taking this very seriously and we are following this up or isn't even a formalized relationship yet, between serbia and the e. u. and already brussels is acting like

a jealous controlling boyfriend. russell's authoritarian pension for imposing its will on member states under the guise of protecting and defending democracy proves exactly why it's losing hearts minds. and now elections. india has learned sounds at western attempts to block russian oil from the global markets following similar restrictions placed on a rainy and un venezuelan fuel. if you take iran out of the market, venezuela ross to the market, you want to take russia to the market. what is the world supposed to do? this is not about d risking. this is about keeping the markets alive. and these are policy choices which countries have made. the indian foreign minister remarks come amid a global energy crisis, while new delhi is also concerned over the spike and the price of oil that is quite breaking it's back. he also said that other developing countries are concerned on how to address that energy needs. while questioning the price cap on russian oil

proposed by the g $7.00 indian crude oil imports, when russia have drastically increased since april and now account for 10 percent of all crude bought from overseas. let's discuss the issue with critique affairs exit dr. profile gosh, now many thanks for joining us on the program. it's nice to see you. so what consequences could there be if it was those which countries like russia and, and the wrong, i just excluded from oil and gas markets? i think there's going to be a disaster because what all the, all the country supposed to do is there is no, i'm on your like, go minister mention minnesota, you know, russia then what do all dependent countries like us, we have to bring into the external reading 5 percent and major shock all or so. oh yeah, you're concerned obviously i could buy indian foreign minister. he's that the blocking countries like iran, russian, venezuela from trading in oil,

puts the global energy market at risk. but do you think that western countries are really worried about wells, energy security? see us as we are interested in the national interest novels. the reason why we are enhanced, if you remember before the, your grand crisis. we only wanted about one percent. now it's nearly about 80 percent on russian. all the other basically got important. dikes was known as the you. ross on the other is known as b o. r. we bought we my through the use, the amount of your ceo not want to didn't watch. we all ready botch here to take russian oil on. it just goes to the fuel. oh well, roll over me. so it's not national interest. you're going well, the russian oil, which we are getting other good,

strong not. nobody's initially go 16. then it went got to go dollars per barrel. now i think less it's about 6. 0, what about allows i for the brent? yeah. like in there which are mostly dependent on on it or no one from outside. we have no choice. i think russia provides the ideal solution. what do you think then, despite exacerbating the are opinions and he's a crisis of his governments, i insisted on pressing ahead with the sanctions on russia. see they have in fact what the jobs that do gaps basically. wow. the one on the products is going to come in in december. the other one is going to come in for february 1st. 2023. not done. i don't think is acceptable loss. it doesn't work at all for

i'm, by the way, mind you even do you think in about 1000000 bottles, or i'm not even mentioning just, you know, 1000000 bottles or from russia you're trying to reduce it. and it's not even a national address. we have to look at the article addressed, i will say done. so i don't see any reason why we try dig russian oil out on the market. what happens to be other countries on board over countries which are not real? well, good, good economy, tree, long island. but yeah, russia, boy is the saloon. i even china taking

a lot of russian. so i don't want it with the i don't ever day. no messages. national interest isn't all about it. wouldn't trust the big rush or not. and that's what i'm thinking, i'm an example lightly united states and cuba which co operate in areas such as counter terrorism, yet restrictive and bother continues as washington 6 to remove the havana government if are fat and does it allow, keep to choose its own path. see, bob, we have been trying to do a seal on so we are having exercises. i'm. we're also collaborating with americans on disaster. again, it's a question of national interest. we feel that certain aspects be done through

the united states or not only cooperation, interoperability, etc. done to organization. so does that feel like you have to look at what works out best for the countries soon? well, you know, the west, the continues pressuring countries to stop trading with russia. for example, ankara has been threatened with sanctions. if it continues economic cooperation with moscow, why colon countries be left alone to make their own decisions. what can i say? oh yes, in fact we have the digital decisions and we have been looking at all all in trust. good. awesome, good. like you said, i was trying the fence. yeah. but dollars of course i was trying to ship or listen. oh, i'm off. no countries walk balls. sure. people do the lesson,

school bus it. i'm not against the was go. i was going to discuss what i'm saying. got my money. the news that we should be pretty close on strip to me is a very big thing that is done. you all done for you, just so many bang, all it then he, thanks for joining is on the price on the really appreciate your time and your insight on the matter when speaking to strategic as, as ex, but dr. pipe out, gosh, thinking and thank you for joining us here in asi international. as always, you can find plenty more of the latest news updates on our website, r t dot com, but will be back in 30 minutes with more. see then ah, with
