11:00 am
is just the right thing to do is by 2022 before the special military operation began on bass became a place filled with the most extreme. and you could say aggressive forces of global imperialism and kind of cranial nationalism and fascism. and it is certainly the place of the communist party to call for putting an end to fascism on our soil, especially since our land and people know i'm old to well out to fight it to get any from a. so i believe that the coal made by the communist party in 2022. prior to this special military operation was a normal reaction and response of any party in this historical coat of the communist party. and we had to put an end to fascism. the special ministry operation has exposed some divisions within the communist move and internationally . so the greek communist party, for example, characterizes ukraine conflict as
11:01 am
a war between 2 and pay with his powers. and the company's policy of britain has gone to great lengths to oppose what it describes as pollutants war. how do you respond to that? and how does the communist party of the russian federation see the special minute teen? yeah, can we see just the product? the divisions within the communist movement are certainly nothing new to us. we are aware of the view point supported by the communists of greece. and i'd like to give a historical example before and during world war one, both the communist movement of that time and the social democratic movement. we're quite divided on how the social democratic forces should act and during the re distribution of power in the world of world war one was about to re distribution of
11:02 am
power. so there were also questions asked during world war 2. we know that in most countries against fascism approve and by that time the ussr was already quite powerful. and the communist international already existed and was big fights, fascism today, some communist parties believe that under the current circumstances going war is between major capital as powers. and so the communists should not interfere more. but what we see in reality is that communists are no longer defining politics. so that is one thing when some of them might think they shouldn't interfere. but when we find ourselves right in the sake of this fight for that gives us an entirely different perspective. i believe that we are fighting fascism today. i really am fascism being the most advanced and most deadly if you will, weapon of the financial oligarchy. so i'm your, the demetrius of gave an excellent definition of fascism back in 1933 at the
11:03 am
leipzig fire trial. but for some most fight fascism. what comes next and we'll figure it out for each of our states, internally, one world from fascism. i don't know how so while greeks are entitled to their opinions, since we have ours. how van uh, recently hosted an international summit of communist parties, and the communists of the former soviet union were represented there by culture, a single named cope, the 1st secretary of the communist party of ukraine. he represented the communist parties of all post soviet states 1st. and as far as i recall, pals, 36 communist parties supported our position and said that we are on the right track and they support our fights against fascism. the young people were moving in britain because organized rallies and protests around the slogan. russian troops out what would loved on boss, particularly when thousands of ukrainian soldiers economy gathered on the boulder
11:04 am
for a counter offensive national. most of your lead members, deepest regret, all the western propaganda, including broadcast and prince medium talents of the events in dumbass. couple of it, but i often get to meet international reporters here, telling me that news coverage in britain, america and europe is one sided. vague, c, 210 invaded ukraine. he sent troops to crane he occupied ukraine show. that is their only narrative. and i understand why different movements including the one in britain that you mentioned do what they do is they consume this one sided narrative . and they say things based on what they see and tear on radio and television every day. pardon, you are more than that. they also say things that they have been asked to say, and i would like to give another example of the opposite kind of back in 2014. when we started our resistance. many people came here from all over the world in israel,
11:05 am
columbia, germany, spain, and many other countries. they came here, those were mostly left wing activists who saw our fight almost as a socialist revolution. there are many of them have stayed until today. and i've seen the other side of the us, but british trade unions are victims of western propaganda here. and certainly, no one is going to withdraw our troops from our territory, just because some trade unions or some other forces in britain and have called for it to me, who it is just a picture of what they're making pictures, which we've been here for a to years and there haven't been any russian troops here, but only volunteers, our coal miners, steel plant, and construction workers, teachers. everyone who rose up to fight and we have been fighting for 8 years. there's nowhere for us to go. this is our land. so we lived here in new york,
11:06 am
they came to us, not sure, not the other way around. when they tell me ukraine, this ukraine, that i say as an ukraine is the land you live on. and the people who come to our land, we come to take our home away from us here. but with many times we've heard ukrainian politicians say things like i said, we've got to surround on bass with barbed wire. or you've got to throw a nuclear bomb on bass, or let's put them all in concentration camps. the most charitable suggestion is to send them all the way to russia. we split, sent us a. what? from my home, where my sisters are buried, a human life? no, we are going to stay. this is our land that this land belongs to the russian people into the many nationalities that live here. here we will stand until victorious. no one is leaving the company. this policy has fighters on the front line. at the
11:07 am
moment i'm could you explain how that that is organized and why the policy made the decision to take part and not to come back? can we use these just part of to, can we use the come with the communist party and communist figures? we're the ones who founded this country, and i am proud to have been entrusted this a story commission entrusted by my comrades who created this country about the entrusted me to carry out the will of the people of dumbass. i am the author of the act and the declaration of independence of the don't ask people's republic who might oversaw the referendum in 2014 and held many different public and civil service positions. here i went inside me stood the other communist small people of left wing convictions for basically anyone who wanted to get rid of fascism from annoyed. so when people say weaver, our comrades were sent them out to fight. that is not true. true. we didn't
11:08 am
organize anything, they were following their hearts. it is what they wanted to do. they saw it as their sacred duty to go out. yes, there are many communists fighting in the armed forces. unfortunately, some have died 2 years after the start of the military operations, many members of russia's communist party joined our ranks to. they are our heroes among them. and there are service men who earned metals and military decoration for duty. you may recall that in the greek patriotic war that there was the slogan that went to the communists forward now. and it still holds true today. when there are fascists on your doorstep, when you call me this will always be the 1st line of defense. it is our sacred duty, our duty as communist, so our class duty and our rights to be at the forefront in ukraine. the communist party has been fund is buildings and assets have been turned over to the state.
11:09 am
there is widespread oppression of communist, including the can only reach brothers, but also have other political policies. what does this say about the state of democracy in ukraine? can i tell you have a mutual what democracy is there to speak of? there is no democracy all the more. so when you crane, oh, we see use a toe, tell it terry. and regime system run by america and nato ukrainian regime has no. what taught them is the communist party, wherever a communist ideas take hold and gain popularity with the masses. there can be no fascism or do the fashions, and their leaders want rather call them over seers fee, understand that they need to destroy the communist ideology. some and under liberalism, they will have free reign. it'll go away due to the anglo saxon world with all due respect to the british. people has a very good idea of how to hammer in liberal ideology into the heads of the people
11:10 am
because they are exceedingly good at it. but we the people of dumbass and the former soviet union, and in fact, many ukrainians to hold collectivist ideals. we are collective as in spirit. russia has been around for a 1000 years and we are still fighting for our existence for our survival. out of these thousands years. $700.00 were spend to be in wars. only together can we survive? that is why we have collectivism in our hearts from our minds and our ideas, our enemies, one to destroy the communist ideology so that they can easily break us up. we will not allow that to happen about have in, in don't yet. how was it like to be a communist? have you suffered any repressive measures as a policy here? i'm you come under attack by far right?
11:11 am
forces or other other policies. we are now preparing for the election, so we're going to have a banner up in the city that says proud to be a communist for clement is. does a proud to title come on? yes, we are proud to be communists. to continue with the glorious tradition of a great country, it is a matter of pride as for whether it's scary or dangerous to be communist here, look everywhere in the world. there was a needle, somebody to in vilnius a few days ago where they discussed what weapons to send to ukraine, rather, the probably realize that in response to their arms delivered by the other side, is that scary with i guess it is. but if the cause is just, then it is our duty, there is no place for fear to kind of have we ever suffered any right wing repression forces here? no, right? when groups in dumbass, so no right wing repression, but i would see,
11:12 am
well i guess you could argue about what the right wing is, what they stand for and see one thing's for sure. there are no far right groups out here. yes, there are people that don't cheer common, just views, you would rather call themselves capital is we have debates with them all the time . they don't like our ideologies, but it's a political what kind of struggle, what have we ever been subjected to? any other type of pressure? well, by and the large answer is no, for the part from the 5 attempts on my life and on the lives of my comrades likes to come to know each brothers. there is, was a well known case. what that happens on the other side, or we can ukraine. ask for don bass. we have a normal political struggle here, just perhaps a bit on the edge, sometimes so to speak. but it is not that bad. it's tolerable. following the precaution failed mutiny. western governments on western media were almost sun
11:13 am
inviting with vol. know all of a sudden becoming freedom fighters. but they also claim that a lot of made polluting have been weakened to opposition. parties is united the communist chickens. and some would argue that he's actually come out of this strong go. what do you make of it? uh, plus. uh no, no, i don't really think we're if this is a highly complex issue which has yet to be processed and why there are different opinions on the one hand, if we don't and over analyze it to the whack their march on moscow is something i don't support what they had done before, however, and their liberation of solid art. and our 10 most is something that i applaud. on the other hand, what we know today is that proof and met with wagner members, several days ago, he spoke with them for a long time. their meeting lasted 3 hours. they haven't least,
11:14 am
any information on what exactly it was discussed that, but probably so that's what i'd like to think at least if you need to find their role. wagner group is a large combat unit to do. it fulfills its mission and rush them like any others to be of interest around the world. if they feel filled their mission of protecting rushes, interests in other parts of the world, that's their job and their choice more than that. so you can have different attitudes to the situation. they do have a supreme morale. and from a military standpoint, they are a world class fighting machine put in to decide what they should do next to of course i've said everything i have to say on the subject meetings, if i'm not a military man myself, and i can be the ultimate authority on their actions trade unions in britain, all lobbying for increased almost production. that it will be in for more weapons
11:15 am
to be sent to you can assist the supporting trade unionists and ukraine. but those very same weapons of being used to co workers and trade unionists in new site to them. and all trade unionist and workers in don't boss really supporting the ukrainian worth it to use it, move out and let you know the trade unions. we begin this in 1st trade unions in britain are being brainwashed by the media, including british medium. but i also think we have a stake in this as well. do more of a war requires massive spending to make guns, shells, missiles, bombs, and thing up production and capital investment, which is good for trade unions. this means jobs wages and apparently from their point of view, better living conditions for workers. i'm a war can be a way for people to make money. and the last 4 ukranian trade unions. i am not aware of their aggressive stance or calls to fight against our territories. but i
11:16 am
would advise that some british trade unions should know their own history even back in the 19 twenty's, i'm afraid, unions across europe including britain, came out and demanded hands off the soviet really hands off russia. there were huge rallies scored and they realized that in russia. yeah, they are working class of brothers. if british trade unions have forgotten what fascism is and britain was one of them, then let's god be their judge as they say you have. but i am calling out to cranium and british trade unions here which comrades let us fight fascism together. fascism has no place on this valley or each other inside europe and which is no longer europe, but something crushed under americas. here with some true britain quietly left through bragg states. but the west is still putting me. so if you want to be
11:17 am
independent, sovereign states, then stop arming ukraine, then it will all be over quickly. and you will have peace trade and the foundation for all of us to develop our peaceful relations further. this is what trade unions must understand. we celebrated the 1st of may a couple of months ago with a photo exhibition here on lennon square, where we displayed photos from people in new york, london, and paris, dublin television, jerusalem and many other places. and i have them all on the desk over there. and they were saying no to war, no to fascism. and yes, but you have on the one hand, they're against russia. but on the other, people support our cause. but these are thinking people who understand what we're fighting for and against. and we should all stand together. we are brothers in
11:18 am
class. and our class. is it more with fascism? would it let us all fight together? how would this conflict come to an end in, in your view of the month of the communist party? is that going ship to some union yet? there is no doubt that it will end with a victory in a man with a red flag, and a russian flag flying over the rod of ukraine n t if they're willing to be a ukraine by then, the ukraine has failed as a state from who has no ukranian states before 1917 and it is not the bolsheviks who created it, but rather the entire abdicated and the interim government improved. unable to hold the reins of power, the empire split into more than gathered in t of and just said, we are ukraine now. they didn't hold a referendum or anything like that. just some people in an assembly hall holding
11:19 am
a vote. yes, because when we came to get we are the don't ask people's republic respect. we backed it up with a general referendum and 90 percent of those voters said yes to the don't ask people's republic getting up back then. however, nobody mother wouldn't referendums or they just did are themselves ukraine products and immediately invited the generalist of the french event of the japanese and the germans. first score a pod skate, then the directorate, and all the various rulers of that part of ukraine, who were only propped up by western troops. they were all liter kicked out, and the soviet union was established. tonya, ukraine did very well during the soviet union, thriving only of peoples that the ussr was certainly short. so we will have a brotherly union of peoples again. and our dream is right behind me. this is a bloody murder, lenin lydia who showed us the way along the new path where great linen did lead. as
11:20 am
the soviet down some went, our dream is to restore a great and powerful state and it will come true. there is no other way for russia . this is the only one. and that the communist party of the russian federation is telling vladimir putin today. and he acknowledges this to the past 3 decades that alyssa path have led russian nowhere for capitalism. 0 is that a dead ends, you can, you can. and pollutants said so himself. the folks have gone of, assessed a way out with them. socialism means the reverse of a powerful state. we believe in it. and we know that this is how it will be victory . will be ours, as joseph stolid, one said the
11:21 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic and into disease. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very unclear to get a time time to sit down and talk the of the the the the screen of the boss can do either speak with key at the
11:22 am
washington state. the girls, 1st of guys has to phone up, send 2 professional men city and to keep the list of all but huge. but they used to do this for the future. what happened is another terrorist attacked of the key of regime. this crime is senseless. there will be a response from russia. loved him or put involved is that military response mia? bridge branding in an act of terror. the incident left the mother and father did, and they're not working to offer severely wounded. also had on the program. effort should hold special priority you when it comes to oral exports,
11:23 am
as the 2 countries speak to bolster ties, despite western pressure, make good quality in africa a reality? nope, just that those word can you as president saves a just financial approach across the continent is the only way for it to prosper on financial so that save us us? no, we are not sure system that is fair for everyone. the around the clock across the world, this is our t international. let's get to our top story at 1 pm here in the russian capital. the russian defense ministry is reporting its forces have carried out the red tellier teresa stride called the port in odessa. it's in response to the from me and bridget talk, which claim to civilian lives on monday. must go save it, hit a site where you print enable drones. we're being,
11:24 am
we are done an oil facility all in the black sea city. russian forces also affords a huge utility and growing attack at was withheld today tuesday, with some 28 drones intercepted in all well, as we mentioned, the retaliatory attack by russian forces comes in response to the ukrainian strikes . again, you may be, he's on the crime in bridge, in the early hours of monday on killed 2 people, the russian president from the b instant, a senseless act of terrorism, and valid military response, a muscle boat. so this one actually didn't like another terrorist act, was committed on the bridge. civilians were killed, a child was injured and left without parents. the family had left to go to crimea from the belgrade region. i asked to provide all the necessary assistance to the injured girl and her relatives to f. s. b. the investigative committee and
11:25 am
a number of other agencies, had been instructed to investigate the incident in detail. what have you ever seen? this crime is senseless. from a military point of 5000000 bridge has not been used for military transportation for a long time, and cruel, because innocent civilians were injured and killed. of course, there will be a response from russia. the ministry of defense is preparing a corresponding proposal to the which we believe is happening today as we set against odessa just to expand as well of what the president said. rushes empty terrace committee said at to you couldn't enable drones, damage the bridge at around 3 am on monday. now the route is a key gateway from the russian mainland to the pending sure that the attack again has the russian leader said, killed the mother and father and injured their teenage daughter that happened on the family's 1st vacation trip to prime the russian. investigators have opened the criminal probe into the attack and said, early findings,
11:26 am
point the finger squarely at the cranes authorities say works already underway and repairing the bridge and reopening it fully to traffic global efforts and security specialists marks lebeau to the lead such incidents are you creating an attempt to shift public sentiment in russia. the only way for the coverage game, the only hope not only of, of not really of winning this conflict, but coming out of complete situation is to shatter the morale of the russian people to make them turn on the government. they know that conflict cannot be one military . they know that they're already exhausted out of artillery shells and vehicles that can usefully be supplied to the key every game. that's why they've always been more concerned about optics about the information war. then with any actual strategic value, which is why they hit the civilian and the united kingdom have green lake have for you know, uh, green light for the coverage seem to launch attacks and cry. mia. uh,
11:27 am
so there be on complicit. they're actively involved here. well, top us officials have distanced washington from the deadly incident. seeing the decision making for such attacks is up to you to determine legitimacy or illegitimacy of targets at the ukrainians. here they are fighting for their own country on the the courage bridge. this is a situation that we're, we're monitoring a force. you train us to decide how it conducts this war in defensive it's, it's territory, it's people, it's freedom. however, russia's deputy and boss, too richie coats the new york that the fox point to western involvement in the bridge attack. and then let me show. but it's like if there is evidence of what we still have to figure out to what extent intelligence services were involved in the preparation and implementation of the terrorist attack, there are too many indications of this whole. these facts indicate that there were no crimes that the west is not ready to commit in order to bring
11:28 am
a few tried to act as defenders of ukraine. your actions give you away. one of the main points made in his remarks. so was that the reason this war is continuing is primarily because of a system by western countries, most specifically the united states. now the united states representative argued that supplying of weapons, the key was not pro loaning the conflict that this was simply necessary to enable ukraine to defend itself or russian colleagues say that somehow this assistance is the reason the war continues for once again on his head the security assistance including weapons, the united states and more than 50 other countries are providing is for ukraine's self defense. now, prior to the remarks we heard for pointed out that washington is not planning to replenish its own stocks of cluster munitions and is instead sending them to kia
11:29 am
then is essentially turn ukraine into a dumping ground. now, china spoke before the council and also raise very serious concerns about the use of cluster munitions and the efforts by the united states. continuing to yeah, to inquire into an irresponsible transfer of close to bone skin, easily gave rise to humanitarian issues. humanitarian concerns and legitimate military security needs to be handled and balanced way. the block c grain deal was also a big focus of the in that regard. well, it's been only 24 hours since the blacks, the grain cancelled by russia not renewed. and in that time we've heard the united states began its old shatter, arguing that it's not that russia is trying to star the average ends. the russia is to be responsible for the details that were put forward before the security council by the russian representative of origin or that was provided under the deal was
11:30 am
being used to some of the weapons and for attacks to be carried out. a gas ross and targets, and that's a clear violation of the deal. furthermore, russia and put forward that if these violations of the deal were just sees, so they would renew the agreement. however, that was not put slow to that very little of the grain actually reached africa. much of the grain was consumed by prosperous european countries and efforts by russia to provide fertilizer to african countries at no cost for free. we're actually prevented and blocked by the west. uh, these are details. mustering leaders are not acknowledging. here's what was put forward by the rep, russian, deputy ambassador. but the 2 leading cause was throw. yeah, the grain deal was one way game. the least developed countries did not receive even 3 percent since the spring.
