who is your fax for you? go as like change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction. but again, we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way inside the reach the, the us brute test that is not afraid of an escalation of the conflict and ukraine's . there are many people in america with clear minds who do not want to call the 3rd world war, in which there will be no winners from the ongoing counter offensive to the blacks, the greenville russian president. but even if it's in, meet with the war correspondents to discuss the ukraine conflicts, also ahead of the exam in service and forces of repelling the crating offensive on the front line of the guns republic plus the 26th st. petersburg

international economic forum kicks off in russia's northern capital. as of 817000 participants from $130.00 countries attends the major events we bring you special coverage from by to announcing the mid day wednesday. it must go on and speak to scouts and welcome to 30 minutes of news analysis, you know, nazi or many people in the us. you don't want to trigger said world war, which will say no when is that's according to the russian president vladimir putin who met for a q and a with the russian war correspondence saying the west must stop on and ukraine. the email was, which is good. it is a mess, have gone through offensive with the use of prepared reserves. the enemy had no success in any of the sections they had, have it losses. all of their losses are close to the estimate of what is called

catastrophic in terms of personnel and the losses may be ones that can be healed or they may be permanent. usually permanent losses are 25 percent, but ukraine's losses are almost $5050.00. but we have 10 times fewer casualties than ukrainian as for armor vehicles. they last over 160 tags and over 360 armored vehicles of various types during that time of which we are sure we know. the amount of pharmacy used, inoffensive operations are significantly higher. at this point, the west has attempted to to warehouses of coal weapons for ukraine. only south korea and israel have supplies left to but soon those 2 will be gone. because there are over 160 thanks, 360 infantry fighting vehicles. and that's not all the native equipment. there is also, some of you have made hardware and far more to be costs are being destroyed. both bradley's and left parts furnace perfectly as we expected. 25 to 30 percent of the supply. the equipment has been destroyed. well,

essentially we covered just about everything, you know, and he's touched on just about everything related to the conflict, especially people, given the opinion, challenge and offensive it is under way now. and that is, by all accounts that isn't going as ukraine fluids, allies, it's phones is plans. ukraine is meeting very serious resistance. we're seeing goodman tags and american apc's and there is native vehicles funding in the fields of the bottle is here, regions and it's region. so it is an especially volume period and the front logic crane has heaped its hopes on these counter offensive. they, they promise to break, to move away to the black sea to the, to the sea of, as of but so far they have been in tati. unsuccessful fuel also touched on the grading color to say that the west and those behind the deal have refused or

have been unable to meet the sides of the bargain. so that is free of rushing shipments of grains and fertilize the ship them so ex pull to board. hey, they haven't been able to do that. you praises use the grading car to a car, to the lab ships carrying green and agricultural goods to leave you create as use that to launch attacks by drones and other methods against the against the russian vessels. liam, probably the guys who are fighting on the front line, don't understand why we need this grain deal. you see, we are doing it not for the sake of ukraine, but for effort and latin american countries that have friendly relations with us. because the green must be shipped to the forest countries in the world dealership. but as i have already said, many times, out of the total volume of the ukrainian grain that has been shipped only a little over 3 percent went through the forest countries. while more than 40

percent is being shipped to wealthy, you countries such as a summit, i asked the president about a potential piece flat and all the countries offering to be mediators in this math . and letting me put in and said we, we, we never rejected. we've always wanted a peaceful resolution negotiations. we must have a deal for beauty. one thing you can bring up the customer to see if we have never given up on negotiations that could lead to a peaceful supplement during the negotiations and this symbol we signed these documents with them. good. they just threw it away afterwards. that's all the us holds the key to a peaceful solution to the ukranian conflict. if they really want to negotiate, all they need to do is to stop supplying weapons to keep the us where it says that it is not afraid of an escalation of the conflicts in ukraine. but there are many people in america with clear minds who do not want to call the 3rd world war, in which there will be no winters to sleep. but although they may appear to and also touched upon the ukrainian counselor offensive during the meeting with the russian war, correspondence of these egotist done of examines our forces,

holding the line all across the front line. ukraine's troops are robust of the counter offensive has commenced, and russia spares no effort to nip that in the bud. these guns the refutation of a sniper rifle, and now a 152 millimeter caliber packs, a might see punch. the lies on the southern front chief has so far, pendants hopes on crushing rushes defensive lines there, but to no avail. he outside the town of lucy, chance ukraine is pushing relentlessly to. but all, to a similar result. the

big guns of the backbone of cubes, offensive. so counter battery fire is vital for russia. and that's what it does now. and that's our group as coal sniper is because we were very accurate, the shooting, heating and destroying and, and be targets. we even received the challenge for the ukrainians for know to redo roll, but we didn't accept it because they were very cunning. so the key to success is to work as fast as possible to work in a cohesive team score. everyone must perform that you just quickly and not to interfere with the others. one suffered in the don't pass artillery fire accounts for an overwhelming majority. it tends trenches into school,

which stuff it melts. my incentive rate's everything in its path. he tillery has proven once again that it is indeed the good of more i make is done every poor thing from the don't pass oxy. profiting from. busy the gym and alms producer ryan montalvo has seen its stock market value jump as the you continues to send weapons to ukraine. with the company's seo claim they expect to further boost the firms income. a lot to contribute to them often 60, the more evidence is rolling in of a decisive winner in the ukraine conflict, western weapons manufacturers, the ceo of leading german weapons manufacturer. ryan metal now says that his company is set to see its profit skyrocket, at least into 2025. i want to raise an income in 2025 should be budge 1500000000 years. now the even 1700000000 years for 5,

all the ation multiply that with effect. so if 11 or 12 that gives you an order of magnitude. now this is a company that makes the leopard to tax and munitions that have been given to you. credit, so it's not surprising to see that the company share value has been on a general upward trend from around the end of january when the german government agreed to send the tags after much bullying from ukraine and its western allies. and then when image is started circulating of leper tanks getting blown up by russia. well, the share value just happen to take up yet again. time will tell whether this particular trend holds, but it seems that blowing up old weapons that were just sitting around in germany's garage is good for business. after all, the european union has used you tax payer funding to rev up the blocks military industrial complex following in the footsteps of their us allies with billions of heroes, aaron bar to replace weapon stocks of european nations that donate their hand me downs to ukraine. it's kind of like a teenager who has an old clunker of

a car and their parents say that if they give up that old piece of junk to their little brother, let's say his name is vladimir zalinski. then mom and dad, mr. or mrs. brussels will buy their other kid a brand new ferrari and ryan metal. c e o is basically a meeting that you create is just one big cash cow. mazda of elk grove is due to the terrible in ukraine. no countries. europe is well prepared, engaged in regressing visit. governments have understood that, which is why the month full of products is rising. the performance of the weapons are kind of a moot point when they're reduced to a steaming pile of rubble, a fine missile strikes. but a weapon that needs to be replaced is more profitable than one that doesn't. the slovak he and prime minister also dropped the truth bomb recently about the racket, the b u has created by incentivizing european countries to flood you, crane with weapons warehouses across europe, or m t. o armies will very stuck in a weapon system and warehouses. and this is

a 5 to 10 year jo. today i'm your nation for ukraine is bought through a centralized european procurement system. and if we don't produce it in slovakia, provide an income and jobs for the country. it will be produced in a neighboring country and it will still get where it needs to go. it sounds like he's saying that the new has created a welfare program for weapons manufacturers who otherwise would be out on the streets, begging for money with a $10.00 can and an eye patch. and now you countries like slid back yard, getting out their sharp elbows to make sure they get the biggest slice of the pie that the you is serving up now, it would be nice. so if europe was also interested in where these weapons actually ended up once they were out of sight, we keep hearing about how western nations have committed to helping ukraine's defense, but don't want western weapons used against russia. now that seems to be easier said been done. belgium is under fire right now for weapons that appeared to have ended up in russia's belgrade region. when you look at the photo, so you can see that it's on athens car. does it come from equipment in belgium?

deliver this part of it, say to drain on monday, i send to lots of tomorrow, you can in defense constable. it's asking for clarification. i hope that at some point we'll know for sure you're free and present volume here. zalinski keeps asking for more and more gifts of weapons from the west, like a kid who breaks his toys 10 seconds after, on wrapping them on christmas morning and says, the tax payer's ultimately paying the bill. and his benefactors are seeing record profits as a result. well, they're only too happy to oblige as a full most senior defense against security policy analyst, michael mullis. well, he says, the major arms manufacturers have a vested interest in the warring ukraine. we're seeing this war continuing because of that continued lobbying by the, by the major manufacturers, the under secretary defense for a policy in the defense department in very recent days, as warrant that supplies are depleting so quickly that we may have to switch over

to a more of a war time production, that is, that would be a major decision that would be hotly debated in congress. and i would really think that's that because they would have to be paid. we can't keep up with this with this kind of a level of destruction of weapons and keep up with that says and supply indefinitely . if you have the united states wants to continue that conflict. and ukraine seems to think, based upon the rhetoric he hears from, with the politicians are these various nations. he's encouraged to try and continue . and that's settled this war once and for all of that's the problem we're running into. it's going to take a ground swell from a populations in these european countries and in the united states to say enough of that because there is no rhyme or reason for it.

in other news, the 26 st. petersburg international economic form has kicked off in russia's northern capital and hit on oxy will be bringing use special coverage throughout the week. the last some, 17000 people are set to attend versus biggest economic events. our team is hard at work at the heart of the 4 and the opposite is union. o'neill outlined the teams of the st. petersburg economic for him. 2023. a very warm welcome to space at 2023. and this and petersburg, international economic for them. people have been streaming in all morning for day one of the influential event. now, why they're coming here at people for more than a 100 countries, delegates from those countries as well as you've got thousands of participants here talking about the big global issues affecting the world. and of course,

at russia. now the focus this here is on, at the emerging world, the global side is a big issue, of course, in terms of at feeding the world in terms of, of getting those renew ties between russia and that area as well. just to give you a sense, there is a move away from, from e u countries from nate. so towards the middle east, of course, i mentioned the global south africa asia. so it's on central america as well. big number of guests coming at for that. the sectors here that's being spoken about, you're talking about the i t at tourism non show of course a lot of fonts around here at talking about how they can develop with the rest of the world as well. and i agree business pharmaceutical industry. so you can imagine for the next 4 days until saturday, there is a lot to discuss and we're going to keep the discussion team going for just joining

me is the host of ortiz world, a part r t corresponded at sound a boy or the senate, a lot going on today. business is the theme. but the overriding an issue face solve ren development for the for them, can you maybe breaks out done? why not? is the, the big feet? well, because i think around the world, there is this sense of, uh, exhaust trends from the way things have been going up until recently. these uni polar western dominate, it's modelled at a cruise privileges benefits primarily to itself. and we see these big development then it's also only about this here, but i mean, i think we've seen it for the last daycare so that many countries want to develop on that own terms. and they want to that own piece of the international pie. and they want to see the world not as a sort of melting cold, melted to american. there were some specific ations, but rather as a mistake, where each society,

each country kennels for their own solutions develop according to its own, to their own paces, or according to that own cultural specifications. but the discussion wouldn't be not about what those pieces need to be, how they should look like whether they should be like the west or rather, you know how we can exist in a mutually beneficial in synergetic manner. and this form is still pretty much international because many parts of the world are represented. new mentions lived in america, you mentioned the africa asia has huge representations. russian regions, various russian regions are representative here for those russian companies. it's, it's perhaps a daunting step into corrupt the territories that they weren't. so we'll favorites, but that's becoming more and more the common theme. some gaps going to be something that's going to be of a for most important going forward, say one of the foremost has been about local development and about local businesses

. small, medium size, big businesses. but this time around, russian businesses have no choice, but the is it to develop and depend on themselves in order to move forward. as you know, russia is under very significant of their western sanctions, which forced many companies to called the western connections. but they're looking for ways to develop here in the russia and also to establish new connections with the rest of the world with africa, with asia, with many other re doing that. but do is in a different way in a way that respects local populations and leaves and, you know, benefits and profits here. russian entrepreneurs, businesses have, have gone abroad often they, they've, they've gone into industries. they're not because of sanctions. perhaps it was forced on them. i think it was plate, so was a necessity. is the mother of all invention, that money that knowledge is coming back? no interruption. what?

what's the opportunities for the world's biggest country but something like the and know which but also capital. um, you know, uh, people, uh, new ideas. uh, yeah, it's either it was a hard choice for many of the businesses and some of the businesses here have to choose whether they want to develop here domestically or whether they have to go abroad. then the was made that choice, very sharp, but a lot of companies that certainly most of the companies representative here and made a decision that, you know, russia still have lots of potential and it's not just some apps or potential. i mean, this is a huge me reach of country not only in terms of minerals, you know, oil, gas, and metals, but also human potential and human capital. i mean, we, russia is leading in many technological areas. it's a country with very advanced public thinking, a logical services. you know, it has lots of people who are working and trying to, you know,

substitute some of the products and services that we use to get from abroad. you know, developing them here and uh, you know, developing them uh with a potential of exporting them around the world was the world paul balance continues to shift the foreign ministers of the brakes. countries are increasingly speaking of an irreversible change in the rules on the global stage of all gatherings must send out a strong message to the wall. this lot of people that it is re balancing and the old ways cannot address new situations. let's discuss the states of relations between those brakes. the country is that with the georgia symbol and i've presidents of the african united, a business confederation, georgia. thank you very much for joining us today here on the for the be well, it's great. it's great to have you with us. now, 1st of all,
