according to the chief of ukraine's main intelligence directorate. as he explained how one of keys negotiators, dennis k rep, was executed by ukraine security service in march on suspicion of cooling with russia. the main task we set for mr. cray as was to delay the process in order to buy time since he personally knew to people in the negotiation process, who represented the russian side. ukrainian presidential advisor may help pollock also said that care of his death was due to a lack of coordination between ukrainian security agencies. russia and ukraine sat down for peace talks in late february, just days after the special military operation was launched. both sides even reach a draft agreement with russia falling back some of its troops. but the deal was never fully implemented as key at received western weapons and kept fighting. moscow says the u. s. and its allies persuaded ukraine to resist

a peace deal for new school. however, the west claimed it was russia that wasn't actually seeking peace since the 1st months of the conflict is by moscow being the one insisting on cease fire talks with key. as i am extremely concerned, how russia has been acting at the negotiating table. actually, i don't trust what russia is doing at all. any negotiations needs to be real. they need to be meaningful. they can't just be a fig leaf, full russian re all moment. and for the recruitment of, of soldiers. back in 20142015 during the 1st outbreak of conflict and on bass, germany and france mediated the men's deals signed by moscow in key at. 2 however, the western leaders who guarantee those agreements recently admitted they weren't actually meant to bring peace, as the real goal was to give you crane time to prepare for war with russia. to

2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give you a crane time ukraine use this time to become stronger as you can see today, the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of today. since 2014 ukraine has strengthened its military posture. it is the merit of the minsk agreements to have given the ukrainian army this opportunity. thus the time that prudent thought was an asset for him turned out to be in fact an opportunity for the ukrainians russians were of the place were waiting for us. ukrainians announced to come they delayed than 4 hours 4 days, so that the ukrainian part was playing for time. this is nothing you we have this, this map who thing from a, from from a chance levin article, which she opened. he said that, ah, with the uminski agreement was only 2 by time. the metal story was an interview in the german side, but no german news outlet. after that asked questions, put this topic on the, on the rule. nobody did it and this is the same. um wester,

news will not come with this. what he said about were playing on time and they will still say, hey, russia is the one who doesn't want to talk. but what we see right? no, they don't want. they don't want to negotiate anything. and we see from the past that music agreement was only 2 by a time and whatever they proposed to russia end of march last year. anyway, we, we saw whole march that she was ugly groceries that they will always play. and other developments south africa as foreign minister has underlined the countries independence and good relations with russia as the 2 foreign ministers that emperor toria, to plot a course for cooperation beyond western influence. we as africans need to resist, is this impulse of wanting to direct a double standard form of international convent toward us that what i do is okay for me,

but you cannot do it because you are developing country or you africa. that is an abuse of international practice unless you live in your school, africa itself must determine the ways to solve problems on their continent. we share a partnership for accelerated growth and wish south africa speedy development. the international community is obligated to support the paths african countries have chosen for themselves. during survey laboratory visit, both foreign ministers highlighted key points of cooperation. russia says they will keep peacekeeping missions in south africa while also teaming up to boost the country's atomic energy grid and other infrastructure. after wrapping up talks in pretoria survey la rob moved on to neighboring as for teenie, now this comes as the u. s. for she has its own agenda and africa with washington to send it's un ambassador to the continent for talk. this fall is

a recent visit by the u. s. treasury secretary to zambia and sydney gall, where she attempted to portray russia as a troubling issue for africa. which is were in with initiation of food, his exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering. and the global economic head winds caused by the actions of a single man president who is creating an unnecessary dram on african economy. artega africa, corresponding corolla delves into the details of the international scramble for the continent. africa has become the must fly to destination point for diplomats of global powers. last week, all eyes were cast on china's new foreign affairs minister who stop by for a 5 country tor. and while he was here, so to where his french and german counterparts, who made

a visit to ethiopia and this week kicked off with russian foreign affairs minister, sergey lover of who stopped by in south africa as the 1st up of his grand african tore. and the treasury secretary of the united states jenna deland, is also on the continent at the same time. and the u. s. ambassador to the united nations is also fair to be on her way next week. so what's made africa, the global frenzy for diplomatic meetings and recent times is because africa remains attractive. and who those who want to manufacture ah, the equipment that is important in the global economy. whether it's the natural resources that you need for cellphones or for i dig, or for computers, or just to keep the engines going, we have, we have what it takes. and in fact,

these are important of dramatic visits because of economy reasons. the united states has made no secret that it is desperate to woo african countries. washington host that the u. s. africa summit in december with rumors rumbling the president biden himself may be accompanied by his vice president. come on harris. later on this year. as the final christian due to, they are quite shipped with africa, but washington's message will face the competition yet, considering that prison, she and president putin will also be in south africa in august for the brick summits. washington is well aware of the self created as i am with the continent. and it's been that way since last march vote in the united nations general assembly when majority of african countries refuse to condemn russia over the u. crane conflict. and for month, the west has than everything in his power to isolate russia, but in africa,

nothing comes that easy. you can't be neutral for it, wrong car. and right now the evidence is showing clearly with the evolution of the award freight on that right. so africa is clearly a no show and signs of choosing site. i mean meeting with the russian foreign minister. and so africa as one top country. now there's also sending a signal to the rest of the countries that my goodness, we have to be able to, to take a stand on how, if the stand at 1st is a neutral stead. it can evolve into a choice partnership. but still africa is trying to balance out as much as i can. the partnership between the old west will know western nations and in new partners like russia. treasury secretary janet jaelyn, arrives in pretoria on tuesday and she will be welcomed by south africa's humming

sound of generated. yes. south africa, the continent, most industrialized economy is grappling with severe power cuts. and unlike jaelyn, they, i here to stay there. so africa should expect some backlash is not here, because when you are a loan, that kind of money 8500000000, zer, lot of cash. and anybody who gives such you or it's not a gift practice along it comes with conditions in the backlash. going to be into those fine prints of those conditions and certificates. going to have to play very carefully about that. and i think telling you, because as a young man working for the world bank in your environment and sustainable development, or should, i know well the speaks or so. so africa is going to have to be very careful. but only a came back that when that also for having accepted too early and quickly the

terms of wood and africa, everybody's called, the climate change. secretary yellen will travel to the ford motor company assembly just outside pretoria. a place does create that much needed jobs in an economy that's far too used to economic growth without jobs. but on friday, jaelyn last they here in south africa, she will travel to implementing the hat, lend of south africa's coal belt. it is day where she will need men and women who have built their livelihoods on coal. and she will tell them about the commitments made in the just energy transition plan. but she will hardly tell them how fickle those commitments are or what they can do to their lives. gonzales at fidelity and pretoria turning to south america now where brazil and argentina are planning to establish a common regional currency,

discussed by the president who touched upon possible participation in the initiative of venezuela and the presence of the countries president under salik summit. moreover, the 2 heads of state discussed the existing sanctions against venezuela as well as actions that make life easier for the people of this country. but in that, don't feel for them. i'm against interfering in the political processes and venezuela. the problem can be resolved through dialogue, not sanctions, or threats of occupation. brazil is going to restore diplomatic relations with venezuela them. we want venezuela to have an embassy in brazil and we want brazil to likewise have an embassy in venezuela. were determined to restore civilized relations between the 2 independent states. in issue the yellow f u b was a very productive dialogue between the van swelling government and the opposition. the elections were held transparently. all the rules were absorbed without any further questions arising over here. therefore,

we must encourage dialogue among venezuelans, that chief editor of the brazilian oper. i'm my news portal says that south america would only benefit from a common currency as it would help build a strong economy without dependence on the u. s. the great advantage of dis measure would be the possibility, the possibility of carrying out all the commercial in banking operations without the need for, for the ex and without resorting to exchange rates in dollars or euro's. another advantage would be the expand show of regional investments through integrated finance. so institutions without the backing of the dollar or the erode in the same way that you might have faith in the early seventy's and lincoln dollar is insurance front available go reserve, south america would partially eliminate the dollar as an anchor off. it's

economic activity. in any case, it could be irrelevant. it's that for was in south american into ration in that range is 30 zation of the economy and in the weakening of the dollar s. as in money currency, the turkish presidents as his country will not back sweden's bed to join nato. the announcement comes in response to the burning of the koran, outside anchor, as embassy in stock on hearing a protest sanctioned by local police. those who turn a blind eye to this outrage have undoubtedly calculated the consequences. it is clear that those who allow such blasphemy should not expect any support from us regarding nato, when someone dishonors us, when someone commits injustice, we let him know his place. if you are so respectful of rights and freedoms,

you will respect the religious beliefs of muslims if you will not. i'm sorry, you will not receive support from us during the nato membership process. the controversial incident took place on saturday when an anti islamic politician publicly burned coffee of the koran. this berg to severe backlash from the global muslim community. with the malaysian foreign minister describing the act as phobia and pakistan top diplomat, calling it a harmful gesture for more than one point. 5000000000 muslims. worldwide hundreds of demonstrators gathered in front of the swedish consulate and symbol to vent their anger. people in turkey, the largest city were seen burning a picture of the anti immigrant politician who in a recent interview said he had no regret for his actions. rallies also flared up and some other muslim countries, tens of thousands, stripped of the streets in yemen to strongly condemned. the desecration of the koran protesters were seen burning as rally and american flags across the inner

rock. clashes are wrapped in near the swedish embassy with protesters scuffling with police outside the diplomatic building. meanwhile, the u. s. has weighed in, suggesting that the koran burning act and stalk home could be employed by foreign forces aiming to undermine nato. we're also cognizant of the fact that those who may be behind what is taking place in sweden, maybe engaging in an intentional effort to try to weaken unity across the atlantic and within and among our european allies and partners. journalists, the use of aaron says that the scandalous incident in sweden in the northern country has lost any support and potentially still had for its nato bid inter kia well, the domestic atmosphere right now surrounding sweden's need obeyed after the burning of the koran is very, very toxic,

i don't foresee any turkish politician trying to garner support for sweden because domestically it would hurt them. and this being in the election year, i don't think anyone's going to go to back sweden right now, so i don't know if it's a done deal. if it's up forever closing the book on sweden's nato bid, but not there won't be any type of support for sweden becoming a natal member. at least for the foreseeable future, most likely for the rest of this year is the, is the burning of a cron. in sweden, a attempt to undermine nato. well, we need to understand that if this was an attempt to undermine nato, those who allowed it the swedish police, the swedish court. so the swedish politicians are, they are the ones that actually allowed this to unfold in undermined their own data accession process. and no one at the end, the day force swedish police to approve this very disgusting act. then it, the swedish laws are allowing for such

a 8 crimes to take place that i think that the sweets need to take very long, hard look at themselves and very long, hard look at their laws. why are they are allowing this type of hate mongering under freedom of expression. if this is a freedom of expression, one has to ask, it's a ask themselves, what's being express? i think very clearly 8 is being expressed in if hate is being expressed. this is that 8 prime and as such it should be illegal under any to any countries. floss, india and the u. k are edging closer to signing a free trade agreement. but there are strings attached online means terms. this initiative goes emitted growing cooperation between the 2 countries. their economic relations are on the rise with bilateral trade turnover reaching more than 29000000000 pounds last year, which is 33 percent higher than a year before the u. k. exports to india and 2022 amounted to more than 12000000

pounds, while india's exports to britain reach more than 17000000000. however, there are some serious obstacles in the upcoming deal, as is not expected to include the free movement of indians to the u. k. which was something and it had agreed on earlier in a similar packed with australia. we have to make sure that each trade agreement was signed is tailored to the specific country. the kinds of mobility off i can do to a country like australia is not going to be the same kinds of mobility alpha i can do with the country like india, which has good many times the population. and you're deli, base foreign affairs observer told us more about the contradictions in the upcoming deal, and shared his view on why the u. k. wants the agreement in the 1st place. see what they know of. yes. that what concrete have very different actually contradictory expectations of this report agreement, if the, if the,

if the india wants more will be related facilities. so escape to work curves in the long india. so you can go to written in large in them. it's a larger number, then they go and i know they are looking for a new market for right there, right to being for if you see and the employ diet and they they, they implemented the big and now you're still be political since they are getting it be public offense, so they are looking for a new market in the emerging market. india has lived relatively large market and many other parts of the world said. so they're looking for 1000000 to reach the indian market. but it cannot be happened

in unit 12. it, this will come from my age also and alone, more indians to work to fix if they are, as you can, military sums and job opportunities for now, it seemed they are not ready for their serbian president says he doesn't rule out the possibility of leaving his post in the interest of the country as well . great continues to be pushed to recognize kosovo. this is my last mandate. any way i know what my duty is, if there is a need to somehow save the state and when some time i would not hesitate. i live for the country, i am a soldier of my country, and i will act in the interests of the nation. the president statement follows recent times was in kosovo, the worst flare up and years on monday and ethnic sir was injured on a road not far from the kosovo capital during

a police raid. as he refused to stop his car. when asked you to similar accidents towards as next served happened earlier. president virginia has also said that the west has been threatening belgrade with stopping european integration as well as freezing investments and sanctions amid it's confrontation with christina return. they told us, you must have this plan of negotiations with christina. and if you do not accept it entirely, it will firstly face a halt in the european integration process. secondly, as topic and withdrawal of investments. and thirdly, comprehensive political and economic measures that will cause great damage to the republic of serbia. well, moral as the suggestion was clear, even before his statements about now, things are, let's say, are the blue and well known. because now we have a recognition that the western powers that be great 5 as that will cause them

chance. let's say more or less ultimatums are saying that they should the agreement with the so called causal. otherwise, they will do at least 3 things. as stated, 1st of all are further eel, integration with serbia will be blocked. second, a foreign investments will stop. and 3rd, and most important, assuming economy will suffer because they didn't say exactly sanctions economic sanctions. but they said that they have a mechanisms of punishing serbia for it. so there's a willingness to cooperate, let's say in that regard, he didn't mention the specifics of disagreement. he only said that it was arranged and agreed with all the you members. on 13th of december, and that even though the member countries didn't recognize also said that they are okay with the agreement then that they can go further with the implementation of it

. so now we will see what was the specifics of the agreement will be about what you said regarding the sentence side. there is not much to be joyful about there not much to be happier regarding the statements of the, of the agreement. so best to hear from the president the south and what he said about that topic premium, of course for i'm concerned, there's no longer a rational approach to solving problems. i saw the said, the g 5 meeting, no matter what i sat, no matter what facts i provided, no one, listen to me. intelligence no longer plays a role. they have their own agenda, which is the defeat of russia. and everyone who gets in their way will be purged, the pressure is everlasting and it hasn't stopped. basically, they said that the, even the barricades were which service would top as their means of self defense. and because their status and their security is being calmed, that even those americans were seen as

a matter of these fabulous issues by serbia. and as i said, the pressures are here and the ever present, especially since the beginning of the russian, especially the oppression in that regard. as the situation on the, on the ingredient frank lines are getting heated up. so is this edition goes through basically have like a correlation of the 2 topics and the in that regard, the due to the several abbas days on the, on the training front and several russian successes, we can say we see that the brush on serbia will basically it's, it's like a mirror perspective by looking at $11.00 problem. you see the reflections on the other and then the other way around and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah,
