9:32 am
before the earthquake said sir, an economy was in decline and hospitals struggling to get medicine and other basic supplies. you can read much more about that right now at auto dot com well, surprise, surprise, spite western predictions. russia has actually survived under sanctions, according to bloomberg economic stats due to the continued exports of commodities which filled public and private coffers and stimulated investments within the country. and while foreign investments dried up inside russia, previous forecasts had predicted a 20 percent decline in capital expenditures in the country. however, in 2022 domestic investments grew by 6 percent. that's a result of the russian companies and investing to replace the loss of imports coming into the country, such as software and equipment. as off to the west, imposed 9 packages of sanctions on moscow. the local business has responded to the need to create alternative supply chains. in addition,
9:33 am
production declines fail to full to predictive levels, declining by only 2 percent, and vice president of the center for strategic research in russia boris of pekin. he explains the trend he movie conveniently completely new companies are now beginning to interact with russian businesses and those new markets that russian companies are entering or receiving significant benefits. there are several markets to which russian export deliveries are largely oriented, such as india, china, turkey, and other countries. we have to build new supply chains for imports to russia, raw materials, components, goods and services. and to some extent technologies. of course, all those countries that do not impose restrictions on the russian economy and business, our partners of ours, the investment situation turned out to be very positive with investments growing by 6 percent compared to the previous year. this was a surprise even to those in the government. if you look at the state duma forecast for the economic development published in the fall, it projects a slight decline, an investment. but now most economists agree the economic growth in russia will
9:34 am
resume in 2023. so today's protests in france are expected to be the largest in recent years after microns government pension reform raise the retirement age. the was done hundreds of thousands of people to talk to the streets all across the country. as several major labor units declared a national strike. while the reform has triggered to unrest. other issues like the high cost of living and the energy crisis in the country offset to be major factors . this is a developing story we'll bring in the latest update as they come into us here at our international, in most western threats, a blind eye to ukrainian atrocities, the global food crisis, security questions on. well, the russian attempts to resolve these issues moscow's top end void to the un
9:35 am
bustling the bins. you're addressing all these issues in an exclusive interview to archie. ah, well, mister ambassador, i do wanna thank you for this great opportunity to speak with you and also extend you greetings for the day of russian diplomacy. so i will begin by asking you recently we heard that zalinski, the ukrainian leader, has said that the minsk agreement was simply to was simply a concession that the language he described it with. and he went on to say it cannot be implemented. we've also heard from angela merkel. she has said that it was simply a tactics a by time for the ukrainian army. so my question is, does that change the possibility of future negotiations and on what terms would russia be willing to engage in such talks?
9:36 am
first of all, thank you very much for your congratulations and due to the survey means for us, this is a day remembering that the tradition so the russian, so it and russian diplomacy and well look to remember. oh, on what you asked me. i think i already gave an answer partly at least indeed we heard this citizen statements by zelinski, by i'm going medical by you a bible on the bipartisan himself, which simply betrayed the extra confessed that means agreement. so what a hoax to buy time for you create a besides means agreement. so use a keys of the failed you input events because have they been implement faithfully nothing. what were witnesses, they would be happening, but they were not meant to be implemented. so when people say this started to hear
9:37 am
the goals, some will mark the will model diversity, will say you are on chronology that started 9 years ago. 9 years ago we were begging you to listen to us. nobody did. now we've heard from a number of western leaders that they think the only way this work and is with the defeat of russia. so if that is the town, is there any hope for negotiations or peace? they're not just saying that it can only end with the end of rush. they are saying they're talking now about dismembering russia. they're talking about destroying russia. they are, they are a talking talking. some of the officials, high level officials, are talking about the russian leadership. what's that where they should be, where it is now, some state things go beyond the beyond more just simply diplomacy, but but still, i said civilized the communication a on
9:38 am
a possibility of negotiations, our position is very clear. we stated numerous times ah, we stated the goals of o special military operation. what the design tool we were ready and still already for serious negotiations which were interrupted so see stop by. but ukrainians, or of course on the, on the order from their masters and sponsors in april last year. besides, there are numerous statements by the ukrainian high level officials on a how they see a possibility of negotiating was russia. besides, that is a law had decreed that was signed by president zelinski himself, where he and where he prohibited himself to deal with the current russian leadership. ah, so we do not see any seated attempts from the cleaning site to engage the negotiations and all those initiatives that we're hearing from them on, on the piece plan on very assignments. so this is frankly joke. ah,
9:39 am
besides we know for good the they're not calling the shots. those who can enforce them for cities. english, asians are they leave her in this country somewhere in europe or on one of the aisles. a course the the, the english channel. if they are willing to do so, they will engage, but we don't see any willingness on the bottom of the sponsors of give to go to, to negotiations with russia and do it, do it's a city now besides, besides, we are not negotiating on the basis of all the meetings that were here. now at the united nations security council, you have repeatedly pointed out that pouring more weapons and the key is not going to bring peace, it's going to prolong the suffering, prolong the deaths. but we hear the u. s. representative. just continue to dismiss
9:40 am
everything you put forward about the danger of lethal aid and weapons going into kia. do you think that there is any hope for waking up the last about the long term consequences and what's going to result from pouring all these weapons into you grant? there is always a hope for waking up, but a, i'm afraid they're. they're still fast asleep on that matter. we just said the we had the security council briefing, which we requested luster of this week in effect earlier this week. her on the i'm supposed to clean and we're visited. an enormous efforts, money that pours into grain that feeds the conflict. you know that we invited the roger what to so for that briefing them and there were doubts that he could be a brief on that butter which he brought, he could, and quite a bit, quite ably. i would say we,
9:41 am
he was not the pro ration when he spoke. he spoke from what you think. we never when we invite brief us to the security council will never dictate them condition on what they should be saying, not writing scripts for them. you have what, what happened that the, at the meeting. indeed. so we're so far, this is a conversation between the deaf and the blank. now, there is talk of the western countries convening some kind of war crimes tribunal against russia. and if that were to take place, would it be possible for russia to then bring things to the front and go back to 2014, talk about the atrocities that have been committed. i, you know, talk about the repression of the orthodox church and other activities going on in ukraine. would this be possibly a mistake where things they don't want brought into the conversation would suddenly be a topic we've been raising these issues all is 9 long, 9 years a consistently we continued to do so. but so you have to recognize there
9:42 am
is an iron oil a night of media will i would say that we had the dying we're doing our best to bring that to that to the people. recently. lots of her not so long ago, we held the so called audio formula meeting on what is happening in don't bust then what has been happening there in not just all these years with this months because in recent months, the shelling of doors both residential areas anthem to intensify enormously, ah, $16000.00 in the couple of months. and if i'm not mistaken, we brought witnesses, live witnesses who, who gave her personally comes on what is happening. all is ignored. the read the monitors are from the script, but not willing to listen to anything. yes, many of those who are committing crimes in the grain today on the part of the key
9:43 am
version should stem time. and we are saying about that the officially that we're noting down all the crimes that the keep resume is commuting against its own population basically. and against the people of don bas ah, we will not forget it. and they will one day with another stem pro for the crimes they committed to, including on the battlefield fund when they used to civilians as a shoot with other uses as a shoe. they do all the time when they commit crimes against the prisoners of war. even those outrageous things like what happened to a couple of days ago with the killing rabbit that are kidding, killing a blank shots of the russian prisons. a war is a is largely a glory ignored by the worst. but the office of human rights
9:44 am
was, was forced to recognize that it looked to geniune and that it deserves being investigated now. and western leaders talk and they frequently reference this rules based global order. that's the thing they constantly are speaking about. my question for you is how is that kind of rhetoric and his talk of a rules based global global order? how is that viewed in south america, in asia, in africa? how is the world reacting to the words of us and western leaders? her where we've been speaking about the this settles based world or the a long time are saying that it's not international, which is a, in wooded, primarily in the u. injured. not many listen to our citizen the time. but now i think the, the opinion in those countries, the to that you mentioned sir, is changing. we just recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the of colin
9:45 am
powell v o. in the security council, which you may consider to be the beginning of the current face of this new rules based international order. we are saying 12 buttons that what is happening today. you should look at that carefully. m understand that. today they came after russia . busy tomorrow they will come after any country that will be not much in june with those who sinking thee on the world. and when a follow up by asking what do you see the role of russia being in a multi polar world that is emerging? the world is much bigger than, than the so called collect to west or the world is the africa, the world is a great the you asia, the world is late in the america and indeed indeed, the world is becoming more multi paula, multi paula perhaps or it becomes less and less multilateral on the parts of at least a certain group of countries. but the role of russia, you will,
9:46 am
you will never erase social from the world map whether somebody likes it on the russia will be always a major playing the world politics. okay, now let me ask about the un security council itself. how do you assess the work that they've been doing? i know there been calls for reforming the un security council and the representation on it. where does russia stand on all of this? we are not subjecting the reform of the school it cancel. ah, the process goes long time, more than 20 years. and that is not a, that there's not the a problem over over russia, or anybody else brookings, that are such grave contradictions between the positions of groups of countries, of individual coverage that we cannot achieve or anything that could be a could be construed as consensus or sometime shortly, so to say,
9:47 am
but we are saying that we, we, we recognize that the world to do it today. and the security council does not represent fully the world today that has changed since the time when the security council was established. we say that that such such religions as, especially african asia and that america under represented there. and that should be, that should be rectified. we do not see any of that value in adding for the security council, especially as primitive members of the campus of the so called collect to west because we have enough of them already. and we don't see that they will contribute to the work of the security council any anyhow differently from what we're seeing today. but again, i say the processor, this whole goal to integrate mental negotiations on the security council reform are going on in the general assembly. but so far we're not. so somewhere we can where we can, we didn't, we were where we can say we again,
9:48 am
the chief in chief agreement. so on this reform in the, in the nearest church. now, earlier in our conversation, are you referenced that horrendous video of the execution of prisoners of war and it's now verified, it's authentic, this crime was committed. what will it take for western media to kind of start acknowledging the horrible things that he had is doing? do you see any possibility of widespread acknowledgement of these atrocities? i mean, is western media just not going to acknowledge these realities, perhaps the other knology that's within themselves, but they're simply ignoring its own on the mass media. if you thought perhaps, or of course, remember her such a, such a horrible stages as you, as the so called massacre, witcher or the killing of people at the railway station parameters are on crowd
9:49 am
those. these are unfortunate people were, were, were hit the killed by the ukraine in me, so which was on the footer. now they're not talking about that at all. but in the public opinion, it is the russian crime. nobody looked so for the, for the details. what happened, how it happened, what was throwing up, so i'm not very optimistic that this horrendous crimes will be brought to the western public who by the west media. now, recently i, you talked about how western leaders were objecting to cooperation between molly and russia and the you use the term neo colonial to describe their attitude. why is it that they seem to be so bothered about russia's growing relationship with africa? and can you describe that relationship for us that are the relationship between russia and africa, with african countries where many but does, there is growing and that the causes jealousy and the pots of those companies who
9:50 am
consider that that to be their back yet, i will give you one example, i think i will not betray anything secret. now, by now, a couple of years ago at the high level segment of the general assembly minutes, talavera was meeting the current chief european diploma z. anybody who distinguished himself recently was some comment. is that the arrest confirmation among the public? and then the barrell was asking minister level of why are you dealing with my why? molly's trying to, to, to engage with you a to which minister laurel said 3rd, look at this is a southern country they decide was whom to do if they chose to deal with russia. that's their sovereign choice, to which the chief european diplomat said to him the following place. don't mess up in our book yet. can you imagine the while,
9:51 am
while it is repeated in western media, frequently that russia is to blame for the global food crisis, that it's all russia's fault? how do people see this around the world? there was a meeting recently her as a recent, as a late january this year, o d, e u, comedian agriculture, where they gave where they gave a quite a saba analysis of their problems in the agricultural sector. which is related to the but their, me, to inflation, to energy and food prices to their hiding green transition, etc. so when it comes to themselves, they are able to describe it to describe with a soberly enough while for the public. they blame the current foot crisis on the in fixed by the crimean, we are saying consistently that the put crisis didn't start one year ago. that it
9:52 am
was the result of their own policies which preceded that at least 3 or 5 years. but including massive her printing of her, of her money by the major economies, including the agrees to current policies on foot supplies, et cetera. so of course, this crisis is not the result of for over what was happening last year. now if you are referring to the drain deal, or other, not the grain, you were least of all agreements because there's conceit, they consist of 2 pots. one is the grain deal for ukraine and the other is memorandum on the extra rush and food and fertilizers are from the russian federation. so the, the grain deal is working full steam, but it's already more than 20000000, a dance of various grays that were exported from ukraine. and they are not flying to the most needed countries are mostly yes, some portion,
9:53 am
but very small. one like 3 percent of those who are really struggling with hunger at the same time, not a single grain her in singular and very little fertilizes, were exported. so according to the 2nd part of the do, yes sir. the 2nd that a gentleman, i recognize that he's doing his utmost to, to, to, to solve it. but he's a, he's a knocking against the wall because there are so many sanctions are there. they keep saying that the agreement that am i, those are, are not on the sections. yes. they are not formally, but friday's insurance is but banking, financial transactions are you named her. so that does not also contribute to solving the foods a crisis in the world. and it main exacerbated because one thing is the full crisis
9:54 am
and the, the, the, the, the food itself. the other thing is the future harvest, which depends a lot on the fertilizers and fertilizers, are russian fertilizers, which are, which are paramount for the future. future to commercial production. right. and i believe russia at this point is being blocked from sending fertilizer to syria. and i was wondering if this is actually being addressed at the united nations. it's not that a national was blocked from sending fertilizers to cedar. it is that the operators are not willing to do so because because these 2 devices are considered to do, you will use a shoe products which should come under the some famous caesar by this, by the united states. yes. either of the secretary general and asked him to help solve that problem because syrians needed badly, especially now in this tragic times of the living. so, but so far so far, no, they have not been shipped. and part of the grain deal and the negotiations was
9:55 am
that there should be a lifting of all sanctions affecting russian agriculture. but this, from what you're telling me doesn't appear to have been implemented. is there any hope for this being implemented whole was always there, but with the, with the multitude of rules and regulations on sanctions that these companies introduce has been particularly, you know, they say they, they made some delegation delegations, but in fact, when, when it comes to the national level, it is not implemented there. secondly, that is this so called a compliance when the companies are simply freights to be sanctioned themselves. who are dealing with the russia, even if it is in their view, legal, although it is illegal person, while i want to thank you for your time. i know you are very busy and you've got quite a, a task at hand. you know, standing up to all these lies at the on security council, i wanna say it's really been an honor to speak with you and thank you very much for taking time out of your day to put a thank you with
9:56 am
9:57 am
ah, since the beginning of its history, the united states of america has officially declared the striving for freedom and people's rights to happiness. however, in reality, having won independence, american colonists headed for the total extermination of the indigenous population of the continent, american indians were deprived of their land. local residents were driven into reservations and given the worst agricultural territories. while the best land was appropriated by white colonizers, the strongest blow to american indian tribes was the extermination of buys of native americans lived by hunting these wild animal, colonists slaughter the bison,
9:58 am
and in fact, made them nearly extinct. every buffalo dead is in india and gone, said colonel richard dod, a veteran of the bloody and vicious indian wars cynically the indigenous population was simply exterminated. u. s. army general phillips sheridan express the essence of this policy in the infamous worth. the only good india is a dead indian, the genocide of native americans of north america lead to a demographic catastrophe. the exact number of deaths is deal unknown, but the number of victims is in millions. having been the majority on the continent before the indigenous people make up less than 3 percent of the us population today . ah, ah, with
9:59 am
oh, today and never done before. we trigger the general. yeah. okay. that means national governments can come into the economy as much as a fanatical plenty to be holding them up. and yeah, we didn't have back and i'm not there yet. it to us on to that at all that i'm with my son. he got a message saying that you called me your staff any time on monday, the financial due to, to this visit for me, i need to just do this. and he said, i mean for the preset showing on fall shamefully from lam, i'm not sure who to they should be a couple not pretty much. he says these are not sure with this will be too old. and i like your view, my chima, a more stable,
10:00 am
not because i don't like them, but i give them the dog. last last you know, even a few meters away from me. this is where another ukrainian shell, a emergency workers are still working here. trying to clear out of the rubble perhaps to find more victims, ukrainian, shutting off the next to it, kills at least one civilian and wounds several others. according to officials, key of used us supplied hi mas rockets to attack multiple civilian areas. there's always that hopeful we can enough, but i'm afraid they, they're still opposed to sleep so far. this is a conversation between the different.
