end in itself, but it means to achieve all the more meaningful goals to policy through the day and helps you to get things done. reviewing all footage we saw that you were still training in 2015 to 2017. to learn to play ice hockey. and you were good. i saw you school quite a few goals that yeah, yes, i 1st started skating 10 years ago in fact before, but i couldn't even stand up on the ice. but then 10 years ago i got into hockey. not been playing it ever since. so it's not that think of the post, i'm still playing, it really makes me happy. i've always loved the team support so much emotion, excitement, and also i chose to take appropriate break from the daily grind. so you learn to ice skate and play hockey at the same time. yes, absolutely. it was one and the same for me on that noticed, i hope that brushes partnership with china in the realm of sports will continue to expand as well. i don't want of russians love what you and i hope that the popularity of chinese marshal lots will keep growing. russians on that part, we'd like to introduce our chinese friends to own national sports such assigned.

but when i go to china, i will definitely bring this subject dealt with present sheet. i'll ask him to support the initiatives of all young acetates the wish to expand russian chinese corporation in sports. what kinds about well then let's get started with the entity . please go ahead. i didn't even put you on hold president pollutants. let me start by thanking you on behalf of the china media group for accepting this invitation. i know this is the 1st interview to a chinese network and 2 years earlier in march elite has signed the rush of china a joint statement saying that relations between the 2 countries are as in no time hi. just recently, during your speech at the vows i for him, you said that the russian chinese to operation is an important factor of stability in the world. could you please expand? and the way you see russian china partnership and elaborate on its prospects. especially name is the i see the and when it comes to relations between russia and china, you know that it cuts me just now when i heard your questions that are relations on shaped by short term political developments, then also a product of circumstance or result. the current global political context in states

they have been evolving gradually, smoothly for 2 decades now. depends. it's every step by the russian shine, a guided, 1st and foremost by the national interest. the way each side understands that when either of the 2 sides sort to take the next step, it always may show it to consider the opinion and interest of the other. whatever issue we addressed, we always have to compromise, even in the more complicated matches that are rooted in the past. the cool of our partnership has always been about goodwill. this is how we were able to resolve the board, a demo cation issue that until then have remained on the dress for 40 years. we sold at the desire on both sides to remove all the obstacles that prevented us from moving forward was so great that we arrive to decide to compromises, tradeoffs that were mutually compatible. next, we started building up the can no make relations again. this was done gradually as both sides filled nations that had once belonged to other countries that were not as effective. that energy is just one example. it is

a sector of special significance in up on the ship that gradually step by step, russia has risen to become chinese number one, trading fall, not in terms of energy in terms of the price of the contracts, the number one trading pond that mind you in a is time sinus, let me move to become brushes, top trading partner in terms of volume, or brush it fine to 6 place and the list of china is business. bottom is also a different times. we have very different ratios of exports and impulse. russia on it spots sought to supply will be chinese economy needed, and all chinese friends would always listen to us regarding certain imbalances, primarily in manufacturing. gradually, little by little yeah, of the yet we've improved on trade balance on the same a positive trend is true for every area of our partnership. it's not to mention the role of russian chinese relations and ensuring global stability. that alone is a fundamental component of all relations combined. all of these fact suggests that we've been going in the right direction and that it serves the interest and by the

chinese and the russian people's this because i'm telling you, so the mr. president says, you have mentioned the trade in economic cooperation between russia and china. the goal was to achieve $200000000.00 in trade by 2024. but in fact, the 2 countries essentially approach this target in 2022. and the numerous changes are easy to see or coming to mosque. at this time, i see more and more chinese brands in the streets and then shops including online platforms. in the meanwhile, russian natural gas powers, chinese households, and more and more chinese stores. now kerry, for example, russian meat and dairy products, how do you see the future of trade in economic links between the 2 countries? especially in york city, let me get off the can on make relations have been diversifying from yes, yes. indeed, i have already said that, for example, we work together last in energy and cooperation that is very diverse. going beyond the oil and gas supplies. as far as oil is concerned, it goes through a pipeline that's working steadily and the volume is increasing. the same goes for

the power of siberia gas pipeline. we have good prospects that way as an agreement already signed on the far east breed and another route to the power of siberia to volume on gallia is being developed. the supply of cold and electricity is increasing. russia continues to build nuclear power plants is not just nuclear reactors, it 2 power points. we're also working on the foss neutral react to which will allow us to cooperate in this high tech energy sector and a completely new way paving the way for the so he to fuel cycle. we've also very good prospects in other industries such as call manufacturing ship building across manufacturing and electronics. speaking of call manufacturing, just yesterday, i was talking to some people who know it last about costs and have a lot of experience. they didn't know about this interview and what quite sincere, according to these ex, best chinese causes of getting a foothold in our markets. not just because there are a few other brands. now that because that quantity is improving, the quality of chinese cost is improving. so consumers are happy to consider chinese color brands,

especially for the price of us value. you mentioned in the agriculture corporation day or is expanding as well. there are certain issues related to meet product supplies and so i was working on them. we know that chinese consume is interested in buying no need agricultural produce, but also some items that the people's republic of china needs to produce agricultural products on its own land. number of areas where we work together is constantly growing, especially lately as new heights of areas of corporation emerge. can we expect theresa? $200000000.00 mark? this is. yeah. but i'm assuming you are, but i say cautiously, i'm almost pulled different back over the previous period. all trade grew by 32 percent, which is very good. we have the grounds to believe that we will reach the 200000000000 target. so though it's the whole bill hopkins on to mr. president on the one belt one road, i would like to talk about energy such as russia in china, corporate and renewable energy fighting climate change, and the u. inclement agenda would impactful of have for the entire world and

humanity. listening to just the good. but speaking of the un, sustainable development goals is not just one or 2 or 3 or a total of 17 of them. i think protecting the environment and fight and climate change, very important issues, but not the only ones. for example, we can't forget about the goal of eradicating poverty. how can one say to people in african countries, you will not get any oil petroleum products, since you should use renewable energy like wind and solar energy and so on. those are largely on affordable for developing economies. does it mean people that have to solve this is why all decisions must be balance in this regard. present change and things one, build one road initiative introduced about a decade ago, most at the right time and is evolving well because of the hearts of this idea is an attempt to bring together the capabilities of many countries to achieve common development goals. today in one way or another, present changing things. ideas have been put into practice by 147 countries or 2 thirds of the world's population. so in my opinion, this is already

a success. it is a positive, appropriate and well prepared technology wise initiative that is moving forward. yes, i may see it as an attempt by the people's republic of china to bring them to hail . but we do not see this. what we see is just decide for cooperation. i wrote an idea is to promote the region economic union, for example, all the great, so you raise your for the coincide with china as ideas as part of the one belt one road initiative. so call you raising countries, members of the ration economic union have received $24000000000.00 and investments as a result of working together. what's bad about this? at the same time, each country is free to choose within bilateral, on multi lateral formats. what is favorable and favorable for it? no one dictates that mistakes, but it does help move forward, paving the way for future progress. the same is true about logistics and infrastructure. we've recently built to bridges across the i'm a river to link our territory with china. in my opinion,

this is good for people as it increases the number of human to human ties. it is good, the business, it is good for economy because it boost trade. therefore, we welcome this initiative by present changing things. we're working on it together and we'll continue to work together you know, going into mr. president, you've also mentioned the alignment of the ration economic form and the belgian road initiative, which would bring our integration to the next level. you will be attending the delton road for him. do you have any expectations of what the of the schedule a student? i did mention that the ration economic union member states already invested 24000000000 dollars as part of the belgian road initiative. and this paper is growing since the number of win win projects is also growing, but still benefit, not only those nations that receive loans under this initiative, there's benefit to the people's republic of china because these projects also give china both and products and provide the right environment for prosperity. again, it's a win win. so we have a number of joint projects. it might be a little too early to mention it, but i'm sure the new contracts will be signed to many businesses will make new

contacts, heads of government, some industries and agencies of what together will hold meetings here. i don't think i need to mention all these things. now, what about proposals have been drafted and that's quite a few pages. and the scope of each project would ensure alterations, begin head, maybe even a decade, which is why have some very positive expectations. and i'm looking forward to meeting with my partners to of what kind of that, what we've also seen that the international community has divergent opinions about the belt and broad initiative. what are the advantages of developing wrote initiative and endeavor that has made a significant progress over the past 10 years? delivering multiple projects. the benefit will, if you manage, it goes to the store. i believe that the key advantage of the cooperation based approach that's been proposed by china is that it offers a framework when no one is trying to dictate that will to whether it's cooperation as a result of the joint search felt when, when solutions as well as when, when projects and the best implementation frameworks to reach all shed goals, this is what distinguishes the presentation shines is for an policy under the

presidency of changing things. now, when dictates anything to others, or forces them to do anything, instead, opportunities are presented, and in case any difficulties arise, all the stakeholders look for compromise, and they always find it. as i already said, this is one i believe, singles our presence, she's belton wrote initiative versus many others that the nations with numerous colonial pulse a trying to implement globally up to a dollar don't go a little by laterally rusher and trying to have a lot of common interests and many joint projects, including some in sports and humanities. for example, the russian education ministry has reported that the number of russian school students who take chinese or the unified state exams we dumped into many recent generations of people in china. so been influenced by russian literature and music . we are holding, watching the progress of the amazing russian sig, escape institutions, i believe, and sure, because they have a huge internet community offends in china. and they trying these funds often called and competing series. or do you think our cooperation in schools and

humanities is of high value to our friendship is doing this separately? you just look up just it. most certainly is corporation in sports as part of the overall corporation in the area of humanities is very important because it brings people directly in touch with each other. the fact that china now has funds of russian estimates is no big surprise, because these are real styles, the russia we thought of the progress and achievements of chinese athletes with great respect. and we always pay attention to the way sports is run in your country . and will, you know, are there any athletes or sports in particular that you feel like, you know, can use them? was name. we certainly know a lot about chinese athletes. we know you have outstanding gymnasts and athletes in other sports is very important of the entire high performance sports industry in china is very professional. however, it is just as important to promote grocery context in physical education and organized competitions between regions, schools and colleges, between chinese preferences and brushing territories. i believe we need to explore this, that would be an exciting project. as far as i know, we do have this kind of cooperation on the regional level. my cabinet is actively

working on this and i'm sure we'll make headway in this area. what is important is that on cooperation in sports transcends any political and economic agenda. unfortunately, international sports is getting more and more commercialized. cooperation in sports is nothing like this, and i hope it will never come to this to wait until williams mister president, you once mentioned that if you had not taken up due to your last motive taking a very different positive and why did you say that as a success is maritsa can suggest that everyone knows that it's no secret. i come from an ordinary working class family. and at the time i had plenty of free time to spend on the streets. i don't know how my life would have turned out if i hadn't taken up support. doesn't really matter what kind as long as it's sport and i devise it a lot of effort to it. it helped to get my priorities. ride straight away. i would a certain myself not in the streets, not among some let's put it this way. not very disciplined young men, but i'll just set myself at a sports venue in this case on a to tell me back right away, i develop certain views on how to build relations with other people. how to treat

partners with respect to refrain from doing things that could undermine relations between people in so long sport shapes you as a person which is very important. so it is extremely important to develop our cooperation in this regard as well. and in today's world where there are so many threats emanating from the internet, from the spread of illegal drugs and so on, sport is crucial in helping young people build character and develop appropriate inconsistent attitude towards life. mr. president recently have developed a forum you talked about a fed multi polar weld order. you said that there was a need for it. you've also mentioned such a thing as a german isn't in morals and ethics and values. you also said that the rules based world order is a manifestation of colonial thinking. what do you think? so what should be done to make international relations more democratic? and if i move and build a multiple world folder with researchers because there by the other, you just mentioned the read space to order. have you ever seen those rules? no,

because no one's ever put them in writing and no one is ever run them by anyone. so how can one speak of the order based on rules and i want to see from the point of view of common sense is nonsense. it is probably called. but it is beneficial for those who propagate this approach. because if no one has seen these rules, it means that those talking about data making up these rules as they go as it suits them. this is what colonialism is all about. because colonial countries have always considered themselves to be 1st class people after all, they've always said that they bringing in like men to the colonies. but they all civilized people bring in the blessings of civilization to other peoples who they regard the 2nd great. so no one to today's political elite and let's say they don't to states, speaks of its exceptionalism. this is a continuity of this colonial thinking. so when they say in the united states that they are exceptional, it means that other people, awesome 2nd class people. how else can you perceive it? this is the best egypt, claudio, thinking nothing else to our approach is quite different. we proceed from the

premise that all people are equal, all have the same rights and the rights and freedoms of one country and one people . and with the rights and freedoms of another person or an entire state begin, this is how a multi part of wealth should gradually imagine. this is exactly what we're striving for. and this is what forms the cool of all cooperation with china in the international arena. susan, the bricks has recently expanded from 5 countries to 11. in your opinion, what historical progress does brakes expansion represent. also, in 2024, russia will assume the presidency of the organization. in your opinion, what role will russia play and breaks in the future and during his presidency in particular, what futile or just college to what some of the 1st thing i wanted to say that the expansion was not easy. it was a challenging, i would even say difficult conversation, but largely through the efforts of all she had the present to the republic of south africa. mister, run the post. i want to emphasize his world. once again,

we are able to find a consensus and reach an agreement. what underlies these prices of expansion. this process is grounded in objective reality. the multi posed a world is emerging on its own. as a matter of fact, we can expedite this price. that's what we can or someone else can trying to slow it down and perhaps succeed in storing the construction of the multi part of weld. but his emotions is inevitable that is happening on its own and it is happening because of the growing capacity of many countries, including nothing, but least the growing capacity of the people's republic of china. india is growing in asia, indonesia is growing. and so many other nations, rosanna, is growing in latin america rusher is getting back with the speed on growing strong countries have their problems, but who doesn't throw always problems. this is not the point to the point is the ground capacity. and this growth is evidence including the economy as for break. so ready, by the time of the john, his book summit is the balance between the g 7 and bricks economies was in favor of the breaks in terms of purchasing power. parity of to 6 more members joined, the brakes to balance shifted even more in favor of the brakes countries. i will

say it again, this is a manifestation of the objective process of the multi point of world imagines. this means that all those who have joined brake support the idea and vision of the emerging multi part of wells, that one wants to play 2nd fiddle to some silver. and everyone wants to be treated as equals. and they see if they've joined the brakes that through expanding through string something such a format, such relations between countries, we could achieve the goal foster by joining forces. you know, mr. president, you are well versed in history, more of the you shape history or by yourself. there are others who believe that certain models governing into state relations. for example, realism, we did nothing to result in the challenges, human kinds, faces in terms of its development. we all know at the historical cross roads, how important a comrades using things, ideas on building a community of shed destiny for humanity, as well as initiative regarding global development, security has global initiatives, scroll to civilization. what kind of values do they represent in your opinion? especially of a story about an exponent. thank you for raising this issue. why it is my

understanding, but these ideas was set forth for the 1st time back in 2013 during president changing things visit to most guy. he delivered a speech at mcmurry university and this was the 1st time he mentioned this to make no mistake what we have here is a global vision of human history. everything is in connect said there was no doubt about that today with the multiple weld order emerging on our watch, these ideas even more relevant. but he talked about this back in 2013 and today these idea is becoming reality. this is very important. once again, i want to return to what i said at the very beginning, none of us including present changing things, a guided by any kind of movement tree considerations. we seek to have a listing vision and look to the future. you see he came here to talk about the emerging global order and the fact that old countries and nations around the world interconnected gigi and ping went on to announce the belgian broad initiative. which basically embodies the idea. is he put forward more or less, i believe what sets apart by his presence using,

paying on trying his policy in general in terms of called nice thing. the developments on folding on our watch is a consistency and commitment to achieving coleman objectives and they're planning on holding you. mr. president, you've already had 40 meetings or shooting things. and what kind of person is he in your opinion? what kind of lead to is choosing? think would you share with us any stories you have to give them? was made to a specific is as soon as being is right. and yes, we enroll them. you know, personally, she's in pain calls me his friend and i called him my friend to tell me who your friend is and i will tell you who you are as the russian st goes. therefore, if i onto your question to buy sydney praise to present, she's in pain, we feel kind of embarrassed, and this would amount to praising myself to. so let me try to answer your question in all object tibbetts, he, of course, he is a recognized world leader. thank you for recording his 2013 speech and making the university. as you can see, it rhymes with the belt and broad initiative. as i've demonstrated, this goes to say that instead of being guided by short term considerations and the

decision making for leaders, i've, i've already said twice during this interview, seek to assess the situation, get to the bottom of it, and look to the future. this is essential, this is what set score related is apart from people whom we refer to his placeholders for them for an instant, i need to show themselves on the international stage and then vanish without leaving a trace. of course, this is not the kind of person present changing thing is, is a solid composing no nonsense person. and a reliable button to, to this is something i would like to emphasize. whenever we agreed on something with him, there was no doubt that both sides would deliver on agreements. as for our meetings, we did have quite a few of them and this is a good thing. i see that you've done the math, but i do not really remember if i there was about 40 basics. indeed. one time i did not remember what year it was, but i think that we were as in a peg meeting, maybe in indonesia. and it was my birthday, so we celebrated it together. he died after that we were in deshawn by and that was his birthday and we mocked it as well. oh, well, working together on our agenda,

we had a great trip there and present. she didn't bring, visited russia after that, we traveled to some piece by together and visited the crews at aurora and took a boat down the ne bucks and had a lengthy detailed conversation on the situation around the world and bilateral relations. and it typed in neutral, impulsive atmosphere, i think, but this was the frame, the as that was where you can have, we just talked in salt and covered all the matches and charges we face. we discussed everything. and we did this in a very substantive and co manner while remaining composed and positive, sustaining this convivial atmosphere. he has visited brush or any recently, as you know, this happened in march. this was also a very productive and results driven visit, which played a major role in promising our relations that full. i do believe that this tradition would stay in place as we prepare for the upcoming meeting in china to the that's what i want to you on the ukraine crisis mister present. what do you think about the prospects for cheating? a peaceful settlement? when will peace come? you've also mentioned the political roadmap for the ukraine crisis as proposed by

china. what do you think about it now? and what are the initial conditions? the type of thing you do? yes, we're very grateful to our chinese friends for that considerations on ways to end this crisis. and over the last, i'd like to remind you that hostilities in ukraine would trigger it's not by our special military operation, but not generally. i eat in 2014. when weston countries acting as guarantors of the agreements between president of coverage and the opposition back peddled on their guarantees just a couple of days later and what is more facilitated, occluded tom on us officials explicitly stated that they spent lots of money on this project. i think they mentioned 5000000000 instead, we should accept the outcome. it is not the right time to debate whether it was a revolution, whether it was a color revolution or not. but in fact, it was a kuda tall. true part of it was due to mistakes of the then leadership of these freight is, should have been address. nope. with the help of minutes. it's almost straight through democratic procedures. the western countries prefer to act differently. i need to facilitate the code. it's uh, like the, with the hands of the key, every gene, the lowest hostilities in south east, in the crate,

in the don't pass and conducted these hostilities 8 years coming, women and children, no one in the west paid any attention to this. so pretended not to agreements was signed in the capital of bella roost minutes, cold uminski agreements and brushes, did everything to push the implementation and resolve the conflict. however, they did not allow us to do it either. what does more, eventually ukraine's lead to simply said that they did not like these minutes agreements, and we're not going to deliver on the, this attitude on the, pushed by the united states to drag the crating into nature like to an escalation to now let me remind you that when you crane gained its independence over claimed his independence. the fundamental document that was the foundation for an independent ukraine was the declaration of independence. the main provision of this declaration of independence is that ukraine is a neutral state in the, in 2008. for some reason. there was no crisis yet. they announced that ukraine was expected to join nato. why no one still does not understand this. and so, yeah, of the year of the year, the situation escalated in the end,

the 2014 crisis and hillstone sees broke out later it led to a new escalation. precious special ministry operation is not the start of the wall . it's an attempt to stop. it will not pass for how and what should be done to bring this conflict to a peaceful end. we've never objected to this. all right, but we agreed in is done bullet one time. we were ready to do this while ensuring i would like to emphasize this brushes legitimate security interest. and you kind drafted a very tough security framework and we practically agree to it. but as soon as our troops moved away from the capital of the crane key of ukraine, immediately through all these agreements into the dustbin, they were even initialed on paper by the heads of beat negotiating policies. not all of the documents but a memorandum. they announced that they would seek russia's defeat and victory on the battlefield. brushes strategic defeat. they started active combat operations, the so called counter offensive. it's been going on since the fault of jude so far . there were no results or any huge losses. the last is the simply enormous one to

8 roughly. we are aware of cost of the proposal, so i'll try the sprint. we appreciate these proposals. i think they are quite realistic, at least they could be the basis for peace agreements. but unfortunately, the opposing side is i'm willing to conduct any negotiations or over the present top ukraine issue to decrease, prohibiting everyone on himself from holding piece thoughts with us. how is it possible to negotiate if they do not want to do site and have also issued a legal document? that forbids these negotiations, are, is, could you train brandy once this, it seems appropriate to start with canceling, this decrease and declaring they are ready, but the talks we are ready, for example, we could focus on the proposals about chinese friends. so when the hotel thought mister president, china is always said that he was interested in building shared common, indivisible, secure to, is there any chance of bringing all stands as close that on the ukraine crisis down . and we figured that the but them go to me as we've always talked about this to, we've always said that the security of some states cannot be built at the expense

of the security of others. there must be equitable security for you in this regard . and on aligned nature of ukraine is extremely important for us. we've been told back in 1991 by the us administration at the time that they would be no east would expansion of nato since they had there been 5 waves of expansion. and each time we'd voice talk concerns each time we would told us we promised you not to expand, they did to these. but those were verbal promises. but where is the pay but with all signature, you know, piece of paper. that's it. good by. you see it's very difficult to have a dialogue with such people. i've already cite today's example, the a brand new and nuclear program. we negotiated for a long, long time about the arabian nuclear program. they've reached an agreement, reached a compromise, signed document, and then another administration came in and threw everything in the trash as if those agreements had never been made. and how can we negotiate if each administration would do it from scratch, starting from a clean slate. this applies to any issue including the one we're discussing. so one of the key points is to ensure equal security for roles and russia has the right to

this just like any other state. if we believe that nature is expansion, by incorporating ukraine poses threats to us. we won't talk incense to be heard. well, you know home, but thank you very much for the interview. thank you. yeah. 0 to so that was some. yeah, i did it with pleasure for the benefit of our chinese view is on list this and they want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. a said my best wishes to the citizens about friends, the neighbors, the people's republic of china. thank you. bye, this is the who is the aggressor today i'm authorize additional strong sanctions. today.

russian was the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing, but i think the pitch of the senior assist click on the most, the more in the will shift for banning all in portion of russian oil and gas news happening. another country. hope all's well. we're going to reset the fed said this thing for the little, you know, very good job i, in imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's a boomerang, the the,

the way, whatever is the death sold in gaza suppresses it's $2700.00 to the un says the region is on the verge of the a bit. even those residents taking celts and refugee comes confiscated, the atrocities they kill innocent people. in 5 days. we have witness ponds on the houses, roofs, and campuses in the streets. wattsey sources say the border crossing between jobs and egypt remains closed as well as preventing life saving aid from entering the region civilians. so unable to escape from the escalating conflict expressed their outrage. i don't think this makes.
