the well de club in the city. he said with a 1000 sofa. i believe his day the niece was a patient diplomacy. we are dealing with real issues affecting peace, cause nobody to give us a piece, the price of cost and no bill noble piece. fact the same, what never give to us. i can't resist sharing that with our audience because i learned it from, from the lecture that the china is language used to have a special term for the russians. which literally translated as the old harry man and metaphorically, man, worse than barbarians to the european barbarians of the christian barbarians. i suppose. i wonder if you have point any new term for us, the russians now it i don't have a new new orders. i think. well, you, you cause a, uh, some, a bravo hood, i will say, uh some, uh, yes, its not as i said, relationship improve based on the sincerity of both dice to resolve the real issues

. and, but you also, you don't have to pay attention to the original organizations, china, and the russian initiate, which is shannon hi corporation organization. this is the only regional organization china, actually initiate and a to participate. you know, in order for that to proceed. uh, the 2 sides had to believe in some sort of ecumenical a piece rather than the conditional democratic piece. i mean, maybe they know a tap side if your concept, but there, there should have been some idea that we are on the equal basis here and peace and is in our mutual interest. based on that, do you think it's fair to put the russia in the western county? because i think that all the russian history on, throughout many wars we have to stop was, we have always saw um, you know, fair piece with our adverse service rather than uh, you know, making advantage of them. but the russian has one historic problem. they have

not been able to deal with that's my view. the so called the you're asian complex. whenever they had a chance, they prefer to integrate with west and part of the, of the russian world cup. but so often used to say common your open house. it's a wonderful idea, but so they all from the encounter rejections on the west and pardon for one reason or another. at that time, russian seemed to be moving towards the east. this is a typical rushing behavior. now, my personal view is russian still have that complex with them. of now asian sites become far more important full then they are, they seem to be able to overcome the complex. they begin to realize the rushing china relationships plus central asian countries together. a quote created a common community. dogwill meant

a peaceful euro ation hostile as well as lever or point to asian part. we don't know about the euro part, but the professor shrank. we have to take a very short break right now, but we will be back to these fascinating discussion in just a few moments station. the the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy on foundation,

let it be an arms race and it is often very dramatic. the only personally i'm going to resist, i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the the

welcome back to the parts with licensing chang distinguish fellow as the students and center in washington to see professor showing before the break a we were discussing the so called the russian your region complex, which i think would be more accurately termed as russian inferior or it's a complex before the europeans because they always saw that everything you know, most inspiring and enlightening is somewhere in the west. but i think this shift that you mentioned is happening not only because of rushes, newly discovered interest in the east, but also because of the russian realization that we ourselves may be a civilization in our own right. and that we don't need to. we can corporate with all nations on an equal basis, but we don't have to will change our selves to be lived or approved. i wonder and

i, i would ask for an honest answer from you. do you believe that russia rises up to a level of civilization? it's hard to say, i'm sorry to say that because the russians they oh is spelled for a barrier between a t button rose. from the very beginning. you will have an empire. you never have a russia that meet in the strict sense as a nation state. so you are used to empire, but you don't know how to run the state basically. so this is, i think you only have a state of russian state in the very short period of time, which is very different from china. good. china has a state centralized states since 221 b. c. there is no dispute about the timeline. so rush up probably still need to learn quite a long time how to make russian state or a civil suit of civilization. um, i do not see it for now,

but i think the russians were striving for it. i think this support team has a great edition. try to make it's a russian civilization of i have delta to believe it because it happens every so now professor shines regardless whether russia is a state or civilization. it wants to leave its own national destiny. it wants to develop to, according to its own, the vision, according to its own necessities, rather than serving somebody else as bidding and the many multiple believe that this is the crux of the tension. so with the west and the current conflict in the ukraine, i wonder how do you see what's happening in your credit? is it a regional conflict, or is it part of the largest trundle, including a struggle for, for the meaning of peace as well. first of all, it's a regular tragedy. this is including the sign. it's a brother killing brothers. no matter what. it's a sad story. this uh yes,

but it's also on, as i explained before, i believe it's the western blocks. it could, it can nervous about recent history or refused to accept recent history. that is primarily uh, uh, responsible for leading to that's a sad situation. having say that's another combo. anybody who evaded any by the surgery. i mean, as a scholar, i don't, i don't accept that, no matter what, thinking about that many, a russian experts believe that the russian military intervention in your credit came out only when the crumbling calculated that. a military confrontation with the west was inevitable regardless of what we do, we cannot compel the west uh to retract uh,

by goodwill i one day and that conclusion about the never to bill it to you. all of a class with the west has already been reached with beijing because your red lines are also being actively pushed right now. well, yes, there is no question about dogs in china cause a tie. one is the issue here. chinese actually says it's the core of the core interest to china and the even more about tie one issue now. you, you, you obviously right, date, it looks like united states in particular seem to be pursuing the same pattern of behavior, ignoring the core of to call interests of china ignored or purposefully destroying more neglecting it. what the united states wants to do is they want to pursue a policy called one child and the one tie one policy, united states claim. they never a funding one china policy. they are not pursuing to china policy,

but they choose something in between. that is a puppy to a sheet of one china, which is a legal one, but there is other one which is not really legal by international says. but if capitulate that the taiwan independence. so it is a defect to pay $1.00 independence policy for china. this has already across the red line and you have written before that we are now leaving in the pre world war one situation and obviously nobody before. 1914 knew what couldn't become a fait accompli, but i still want to ask you what could possibly constitute the red line for china, the crossing of which may become the point of no return. well, in the case of china, it's the, the us for the alibi to tie one's international status. so you see you have nancy pelosi visit,

which already credit crisis. if you have anthony berlington, i'm sure china will start. it's a military operation. there is, i haven't even have notes. i don't have even doubts about that if depends on the level americans, but try to elevate to tie once international stuff. it's that will be the red line . saudis cannot so, but the colorist, besides, besides this is not your cree, probably one legally is part of china that the, there were some tell the, even the dispute about that in some, that's an international committee. and, but the, i mean, we live in a, in a, in a day and age when illegality or international law is not a, uh, estimated, as the highest value. just uh, as uh, for example, peace is now taking a as a highest value. so i wonder, uh, what kind of a responsive account measure do you think uh, china will be in uh, in the case of, uh, a 4 more open provocation from the united states. because nobody wants the war. right?

nobody wants to an open conflict, but the american strategy seems to be cutting the dogs the tail piece by piece. you know, this slow encroachments, so when enough will be enough for china. i think if i send the military large number for military personnel to tie one either for training purposes for other purposes, or begin to supply a large number of at the valves offensive weapons. so the same thing that happens in ukraine, you mean the same thing happened in your credit with the triggered the interaction? well, it's the same thing. i think it's unfortunate that disputing was taken in by means to me we, we now know, i mean, on glen merkel and all along. they all saves, you know, missed the 2 is it's just fine time before re army ukraine. so chinese learn the

lesson there. we will not, we will not accept another me. so now to speak speaking about being turn is position in the ukrainian conflict, then i know your claim on neutrality, but uh, in observing what's happening there. i wonder if china at this point would be more interested in the defeat, though not so much ukraine by the western actions in ukraine. um, do you think that would lead to some humbling on the part of the west or do you think on the contrary, the defeat in ukraine may from the west to look for, you know, some compensation elsewhere and for opening event of another war theater person. the i don't see these to a directory lease. i don't think so. i'm a chinese, what chinese really wanted is to somehow work out a fees via i don't believe it's on these have any capability to work out

a peace treaty that, that's not in the cards. but if they can work together, maybe with back home or some other lead has to have a cease fire. stop pretty basic. that will be extremely important for china. but do you think the russians would, that would agree to that without accomplishing their strategic goals? because as you mentioned, the misc uh piece, there was essentially a ruse for allowing your credit to re are, is it in russia's interest to, you know, allow for another c spar and the wait for a war a couple of years down the line. what so might want to do building already got new territories, maybe the territory to develop, you know, the professor is, wasn't development search results from a b, as he said, it was about natal encroachment constant encroachment. and the trouble is it's one of that's read well but, but if you already got the full uh territories, which means at least you'll have

a buffer. so you created an impractical sense. i would say mr. podium should have interest with this. these 5, it is semanski. cool, may not be willing to do it because he lives on the west and a does not want these a plot line to be cut all. mm hm. uh, so the really hard part of the facility that's my i personally, i think rushing should be able to do it now. perfect. perfect. so can i ask you about this? uh, a line uh issue because like a couple of european thinkers, including the prominent german sociologists, vogue and streak express their concern recently that washington is now trying to your p. a nice that's for that is to have that is to ship the burden alpha, financial responsibility, the burden of arming the burden of training onto the european union. first and foremost onto germany. do you think that's possible?

do you think b, b or piece have enough resources to fly that hor, 4 for the americans and support. that's more for the americans or i don't think of that. how is your solution? so what than system or resources, but they have money though. europe isn't not poor the countries the rich countries . mr. trump is right to criticize european native men, but it's a paint too little for nato. um, so yes, united states now support to ukraine. eventually they will validate the duty to european part of nato. that's the american plan. so and the simple i see it is. and finally, if i'm a mini and russia to come out of china appointing its own algoy for dealing with the ukrainian crisis, do you think china can offer anything to ukraine? not to russia because service the russia, your good friend, the terms, but can you offer anything appealing enough to ukraine to make it interested in the

so called ecumenical piece? well reconstruction help in reconstruction. remember, china is an investor and maybe to a trade fund to with ukraine. uh, they sold the war ukraine. it's 1415 percent to a trade would sign up. and we invested in not listening to the war. actually, you know what that mean? it's a lot of chinese investment, so your cranes know that and that they have interest for the future reconstruction . i think this is one called chinese will play. besides, chinese may be able to persuade semanski that's a ceasefire. it's not a bad idea. she's fine. yeah. think about the permanent zone in korean peninsula, 9053. so used by a hold. it's for almost 70. yes. anyway, despite you don't have a peace treaty, it's a and also so let's get this not to have to recognize the territory taken by russia

. if you have a ceasefire agreement, i truly hope the chinese can be a, as active in that, i'm sure, as will serve the interest of, of the russians. they are craniums and pretty much the entire world if they succeed in doing that. right. i hope so too. i the also to, well, we have to leave in there, but thank you very much for joining us today. thank you. thank you very much, bye and thank you for watching hope to syria again on walter part the the

russian states. never see as tight as one of the most sense community best. most all sense of the in the 6595 and speed. what else? suppose question about this. even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia to day and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the payment services. for what question did you say from stephen twist, which is the,

the headlines on off the international as a russian warship destroys 6th street brand new enabled drones that attack the festival in the black sea amid us with common sense activity in that area. the economists role in south africa could lose up to $32000000.00 in trade revenues for simply remaining neutral on the ukraine conflict. romania apologizes under a coal since i'm positive that can you offer the diplomatic joke that a troop of monkey f for goods representative to the local me to go to you and and boys and nairobi. the, the running down at your top

stories for the past week or on the international. it's so good to moscow. it says ukraine has used naval drones in an attempt to sink a russian war ship and the black sea. according to the ministry, the attack failed and the enemy vessels were destroyed. we understand the russian ship was that it was very key in that region to protect that of the tux stream gas pipeline. a few more details. now, with all these equal, the russian defense ministry has reveals that ukraine used at least 6 maritime drones to carry out an attack against a russian warship, some 300 kilometers away from the coast over the crime in peninsula. now, according to the russian ministry of defense, old 6 on the vessels would afford to buy the russian voice, and it was left on the hummed again, this is not the 1st time that this sort of incident happens just around a month ago. a similar attack was carried out against another russian naval vessel uh, by re unmanned drones,

which was also unsuccessful. and also was 3 ukrainian drones were destroyed both times a nato surveillance plane was spotted uh, in the direct vicinity you from the place where the attack took place. now, most importantly, such attacks, they jeopardize the so called grain deal because russia accuses ukraine of exploiting safe passages, safe maritime rooms that we agreed on within the frameworks of the great deal. and that were meant only for cargo ships that moved great and around the world. and so russia, of course accuses ukraine of exploding these roads and carrying out these attacks, basically these, whoops, they allow ukraine to use these drones to, to carry out attacks against russian vessels. also, when the crime in bridge was blowing up last year, fresh also said that if russia finds out, if most go,

even investigators find out that well, these routes, the safe passages of the great deal were used to smuggle explosives that were used in the bombing of the crime in bridge than the grand deal would be offered the table. so this is yet another incident that jeopardizes a vital part of the, of the will global order really. and that helps bring of food on the table. all the less fortunate ones in africa and other poor regions of the world. so meantime, 94 russian p o w 's have returned home from ukrainian captivity following negotiations between moscow and kia. as we understand that to be taking the medical facilities for treatment and rehab of the trip instead of paying for the happy frankly to be back on a well tariff on our home soil and i guess getting on their phones and quoting their loved ones, the ones that are the same, which as you can see from the news, i feel only joy and said nothing more so far. to be honest, i still don't believe that all this has happened to me,

so i was in captivity for almost 15 months. as soon as i was released, i called my mother. she was happy crying into the phone with joy. i want to go home and see my son already is chosen wallace. i'm feeling better now than before. my relatives happy. i want to see my family. they will be even happier when we see each other. i don't know something that is to be honest. i still don't believe i've returned to my homeland. my mother has been crying with joy. my family has been waiting for me. faith helped me get through this a milk breakdown. the 1st time i spoke with family was 6 months into the it's the allow to make phone calls. i hope to come home soon and see them as an update to you on some of the latest from the contact lines as ukraine did law, and just long promise to cut her offensive against the russian defensive lines. on the southern front. however, it rushes defense ministry says old attacks was repelled and basically over the

past week, approximately. oh sorry, we've been getting a lot of reports about this separate orgy region right here. this is a by some of the most intense fighting has been taking place. so also incidentally the same, a well part of a map, right, that way, residents last year voted and an official referendum to become a part of the russian federation. now, we're tracing footage here some records from the front line. he drove thousands of soldiers and german supplied 11 times the battle, but well, the western weapons didn't last very long, and several of us supplied and vehicles are also among the wreckage. now ukraine has suffered very heavy losses since the offensive was launched, as is, according to the russian defense minister. let's bring out some numbers for you here on the program. so you can basically understand exactly what we're talking about, whether they are right the know throughout the week, ukraine's been very quiet about his activities with the president savanski only recently confirming the cover offensive had kicked off a cover offensive. the black. it's not improved and says, as failed. so there's no solution that it can be stated with absolute certainty

that this offensive has begun. this is evidenced by the use of strategic reserves by the ukranian army. furthermore, the ukrainian troops did not achieve the objectives assigned to them in any of the combat areas. over these days, we have observed significant losses of the troops of the ukrainian regime. their losses had been substantially greater than the classic 3 to one ratio expected during offensive operations all this week. a huge flock devastate to the heart of san regent after a key dime on the river was breached. moscow says you have deliberately released vast amounts of water upstream before destroying the barrier to exhaustive pay. the flooding in the region videos are most apparent. it shows that intentional release of what has to done right, that you can see the solute scapes or open rushes and security council secretaries as nate. so must accept part of the blame for the disaster, as it typically gives the green light for kids actions. the serious damage done to the dive, a couple of sky, a hydro electric plant happened on monday night. the surrounding areas down stream

flooded very badly. the russian defense minister called it an active terabyte ukraine food and called it eco side. in terms of human costs, the local officials say at least 8 civilians died them in the flooding, thousands more were injured. while some 7000 people was safely iraq from the region . and over the course of the week, the water levels of the napa river have lowered significantly, especially north of the down. however, many areas still remain small town in the russian. that region of belgrade on the border with ukraine has been under ukrainian shutting war for now, least more than a couple of weeks i should back in a residence there in that town was basically a ghost town. now most of the 40000 people living there will be in effect, but also use shape. bose is the speaking of volunteers and local sort of decided to stay as we arrived here. we have just periods the significant sounds of heavy artillery strikes,

which we believe are hitting the town and villages ahead of us. we can see smoke rising from the settlement and tragically, over the past month for if people have been killed by this indiscriminate ukrainian shelley. we believe by a 155 millimeter and nato supplied artillery rounds and grad rockets which are quite indiscriminate. and they've hit the settlements, they've, they've injured dozens of people who we've met in belgrade and we've just heard the artillery strikes and some of the air defenses going up as, as well. it seemed to intercept some of those a, a tax. now it's remarkable to see that still some people here in, in the area are staying in the homes. nichols on you. thought you were not going anywhere. my son lives in saint petersburg. he's worried about us. he calls me, she's nervous, but i don't have a son. i'm not going anywhere. i'll never leave my home and my mother. i didn't

have anything else besides this, which you will talk to you for it's fine. we're trying to cope with the situation. when the show installed, we hide in our basement, we have a good one. we sit down there and light candles. our friends from boulder bring us some food and the results in humanitarian 8 here. not only residential buildings have being targeted and destroyed or re businesses like this grocery store being hit also, which is why the humanitarian aid that's being delivered by the local humanitarian groups is so critical for the survival of local residents. we're here at one of the then the road me front, which is a civil organization, political civil organization that helps people in need. we're just outside belgrade and we're going to go in and have a look actually one of the distribution centers in hubs. you can see the vehicles and what the goal is here are doing is the packaging of ordinary pieces of food stuffs, clothing,

and they're bringing it out to some of the villages that have been hit by this. a ukrainian, shelly and these a ukranian assaults on russian territories and i was fucking ears, a bag with all the essentials, food comes to our warehouse here from all of russia. many people have been evacuated from she bacon, not because of the showing by the ukrainian forces. we're now focusing more and helping residents of the overall builder region. the narrow road in the front is a humanitarian organization that delivers a 2 villages because there is no electricity and no water, the stores are working. it is difficult for residents to move around because of the showing for the businesses. um, donors are also assisting general the front in their critical work to get aiden helped of those in need on the front lines narrowed the front as best buy socially responsible businesses that help us by contributing various humanitarian aid, including children, supplies, such as baby clothes, stationary and more and those.
