the, the old old will in the headlines. you're not seeing. the french president cranking off his cool. cuz rhetoric over ukraine this time saying a ground operation against russia may be necessary. those and strong was about taking the fight some months ago, coming as a 16 year old girl is killed in the latest ukrainian shelling of rushes builder rock bridge also going into the final stretch. it's the last day of voting and restaurants. presidential elections, country decided to keep cha, we ought at every step of the way home and wait for the elections, not just confined to the countries borders. russians old around the world. they've been exercising that democratic right at the

car while you're looking at it. 51 on this sunday live for most go. it's a, it's a good to have your company this. i was a like both cost or not. so it does seem like the french president really has a, b, and is bonet it these days are seemingly keen to pull more fuel on the fire when it comes to ukraine, and his latest interview emanuel macro and now says a ground operation against russia. maybe next, it may be at some point it will be necessary to carry out operations locally in order to counter russian forces. frances might isn't our ability to do so, we are ready to prepare for any scenario. it would be a mistake not to do so. these are very serious comments by a french president and not even my con, what's behind all of those who really knows. but well, it's very dangerous when you have the president of a nato countries setting a potential direct conflict with russia. that is literally the definition of an escalation here. but at the same time,

it might just be all talks because in one of his recent comments, the 1st president make made it quite unclear on where the situation sense putting don't like really don't know. the president of the republic is responsible for national defense. if he makes decisions for the safety of the french people and i make the decision because after 2 years of the war, we systematically did what we said we weren't going to do. 2 years ago we said that we would never send tax bullet holes. we sent them when you only have 2 years ago, we said we would never send medium range missiles. so this is that's what we did was we said we would never send playing it. yeah. now some are doing it. we have set too many boundaries. so to speak about in our vocabulary and then your best, we are not aggravating things either. we are not at war with russia east, and we just have to clearly understand that we must not allow russia to wait on the other show. so what he's saying here is essentially doesn't really matter what western politicians say, because their comments don't align with their actions. the philosophy that they

have here is we're not at war with russia, but we will keep on doing everything we can to make the conflict even worse. so we don't know, maybe he's just trying to show that france is and it's for the long run. but then again, you know, given ukraine, all these empty promises is not really helping kids in any way, shape or form. it's really concerning to hear my crohn say these things. has there been any reaction from us go to this? no, not yet. but we, i previously hear from most goes on most of those views when it comes to my call statements. now, the kremlin spokesperson to meet your best call did state that france is not against increasing the degree of its involvement in the conflict. then this is what we read macross statements. the fact that russia is an enemy of france is obvious, because paris is already drawn into the war and ukraine, and is taking an indirect part in this war. and judging by the president statements,

frances not averse to increasing the degree of its involvement. so it wilma is mac crohn alone in his assessment of the situation on the ground. he was, but i suppose you're the rest of europe doesn't really want to be left out because you have your ukraine says, 2nd biggest donor in the 1st biggest donor in europe, which is germany. now, germany is making a whole scenarios on how russia is planning to take over europe listed. listen, you'll probably, you know, so i tried to even talk every day ukraine defends the piece of pose boats since romanians and norwegians, none of whom i located in the heart of europe like us, but whose countries pull directly on ukraine or russia. we haven't taken that concern seriously in germany before. that must not happen to us again. it's payton is not stopped by the ukrainians in eastern ukraine. the will will come right to our doorstep, both to can polish friends. keep reminding us of this, a decrease in support would bring the will close to to us, and we must and want to prevent that together. now this also comes, i met

a risk between german chancellor and his ministers on whether the centaurs midsize to ukraine or not. so the officials voted down another resolution which proposed to send these tours missiles through crane and opposition party leaders. fear that the weapons may just make germany defacto, a part of the conflict. and on the wednesday, the chancellor once again ruled out sending these tours smith's house to ukraine. the delivery also has been the subject of heated the bay. it in berlin and some german parliaments members, as well as the u. k, has been pressuring berlin to just do so. plus, we also have earlier this month and intercepted audio of the show in german defense officials discussing multiple targets in russia to strike the commission. also came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets, the bridge in the east and the ammunition depos above the originally east is hard to reach. it's a rather small target,

but the tourist can do it. the emulation depos can also be here. so we need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us off of the conflicts. might i'm exaggerating a bit, but if we tell the minister now that we plan meetings and we'll drive by call from poland from all so that no one notices that's already participation and we won't do that on monday. do you think it is possible to hope that ukraine will be able to do everything on its own right after all, it is known that there are many people there in civilian clothes who speak with an american accent. now if you're up continues in this route, instead of just negotiating, there is a very high chance that this conflict will escalate, not only to in ukraine and become even worse, but it may even go even further than the borders are for crane. well, the leader of the french patriots potty field, we have people. he believes that macro on a use is such focus language a to conceal this lack of actual power,

but be his will to cover his overall ineptitude. we use it to the dog as good when the crown says france is a power of bees. that's the only time he says the would be what struck me in him. i know my girl and speech was precisely the absence of the wood piece. the absence of the wood negotiations, which does not appear at all, but on the contrary, a continuation of a kind of dramatize zation. he used to exist as a fright defronzo in relation to the korean conflict. there is no is essential thread in this case. so he uses dangerous woods, explosive woods, and he doesn't tell the truth if we are under an exist angel for it. we have the right to use nuclear weapons. mccomb wants to show off his small muscles as he doesn't have many uses words that he can handle the de mccomb. his talking a lot because he wants to try to compensate for he's like a fellow at another time he lied a lot was when he said he did everything, he could to prevent it and keep the peace. he mentioned the means agreements. you

said the fronds in germany had done everything to ensure that these agreements with respect to it is not true on the country. but as the front salon wasn't valid, time german chancellor angela medicaid said last year that they did not implemented denise agreements when they should have as the french military have seen 40 percent of friendship. tillery already go to ukraine. what they think they think is crazy for our own safety. so in fact, we have already done a lot. and ma, chrome wants to do even more using weapons and money, which we don't have any way because we are, he's in debt and out on me has already been reduced to 0. i've seen that in french public opinion. they will not forget about macro and said, because the french of fed up officially sending nato troops to ukraine will be actually a past 12 was 3. that's the warning. the, it's holly and foreign minister who's pushing back on the comments coming from

congress. read more about that online use the website. right. that's the way. uh, 16 year old girl has been killed off to the russian city of belgrade. once again, it came under ukrainian, showing a size of the russian defense ministry said all attempts by keeps forces to breach the border in the last 24 hours with forehead. with at least $65.00 ukrainian troops killed the open house while producer not gonna end up with china with this report or another tax. this happened just this morning. 16 years 60 year old girl was born to life in her house and her father. he's wanted, he's in the hospital right now. he has concussions that eric huge from ukrainian. m o arrest walking into your house. you to bring in the mail for intelligence folks. this keeps saying that's the target only milfred targets. well, you can see one of these mail for it's on its way behind my back. actually the tax on the region intensified for replacing the laws that they usually add the funds

into september. most of the targets, all of them in some cases bought. and that's not just a real, a tax meal equally in the military intelligence on trying to take some of the villages and towns line right on the border with ukraine. the russian ministry of defense told us that over there to explore it, felt and would be repelled, which is the so the final day of fresh provincial elections on the people here in the region. how we like the whole thing. they want to share their, their consultants, name least they will not. they actually want to choose the fast and their country, it will, will stuff for and that they do believe that in such and such and such a background in the background. because i'm showing this is the most important things they can do. they need to promote. now, obviously, as i'm sure you're aware of the constant shutting by ukrainian forces is going on as russians are going to. the poll sits the 3rd and final day, or the presidential election, by the way, holding stations across the country are in that final hours of keeping the doors

open with the nations far east. decisions being settled a few hours ago to final jobs for people to have the say on who gets the gulf from the world's largest country for the next 6 years. now, as it sounds different will turn out is about a 66 percent of eligible voters. that means that over $75000000.00 people have already cost that balance, and that's not including the choices that would be made online. the true sunday voting has been on the way it will all of russia's 11 time zones in the far east. the accounting is not one to wait, but the search results especially than just a few hours. so obviously aside from the inside of a person who are the other contenders in the race right here, let us well, definitely because he's a well for the up and coming new people party form of business,

but and he says he's got the fresh young face that russia so badly needs. so the last of the full candidates, the cost is valid. earlier this sunday, he actually judged russian russians to come home and cost that choice for a better future. second, come, we'll see what now. yeah, and also some of them. well, today i am boating in my hometown of millions in my school, in that urge, all those we have not yet had time to come in vote for the future of russia. today i will with, with my friends and we'll wait for the election results. the next up, nikolai has gone off from the company this policy, a veteran of the russian pilot, with a very familiar face, frankly, in the world of politics. he's been around for more than 3 decades on the issue of ukraine. for example, he says that can be no more goodwill just yet. he was the run around when he lost it for the presidency in 2004. this year he cost is voted amongst go folding stations. and he and congress, those who haven't yet done so themselves to take part in deciding the country's future should i encourage everyone who has not yet voted to

do so today the elections are taking place in difficult conditions, but as an old, difficult times. today, the multinational people of russia have coast solar data in all parts of the country. people a willingly going to the polls. i have met with international observers from the c i s, and the c s t o from dunbar to the far east. they have no complaints about the conduct of the elections. this is yet another confirmation that our elections are going well. and finally, there is a me, and it is slootsky who leads the liberal democratic party. so being a politician for, at least about 13 years, also a member of the russian delegation of the east double peace folks with your credit . and that was back in the spring of 2022. on saturday, he headed to upholding station in moscow to cost his ballot. i know they are in our special coverage, most judo and the center of the russians capital by the kremlin,

i had a chance to speak with the presidential contender sunset. it is literally because the sanctions and restrictions of which more than 18000 have been imposed by the west against russia to date have failed. and our national economy and social policy are strengthening the world politics of the new century can only be multi polar, were every arbitrarily small country, its people, history, culture, traditions, religion, national language will become a separate decision make can centre in this multi polar safe and stable world architecture of the 21st century, which is already being formed. it is today, it is in these years. and russia has become the center of gravity in the formation of this new world architecture. this new global majority. we all miss vladimir wolf, of which is you ever know of the man who founded perhaps the most creative political party in modern russia. a man who really knew how to look into the future

with the power of his intellect. a completely unique person during his lifetime, inscribed his name in golden letters in the history of russia. and this is recognized by his supporters and his opponents. i'm his successor, and i don't want to create some kind of p r for myself on purpose. those who believe in the l dpr in our party, they know me and my popularity has grown. but i feel uncomfortable saying this about myself. as far as the renewal escape is holy name will always remain and not only with our party, it will remain as the name of the person who put forward strategic ideas for the development of russia. yes, awesome. is that supposed to be? was i saying right? the one name notice late notice be absent from this is violet, his doctor of letting me order, due to netscape following his death 2 years ago. and basically he stood in every presidential election for the liberal democratic parking since the creation of the russian federation. he was known for making some of the gulf stipends, although occasionally his predictions turned out to be totally less then professor

cabin looked at this the . it was no need to rattle your weapons. you have to say, let's do it. you refused to. then we can adopt another problem, and you will know what that entails at for you. on the 22nd of february, i would like 2022 to be peaceful. but i love the truth. i've been telling the truth for 75 years. it will not be a peaceful year. it will be a year when russia will finally become

a great country. and guess the claim was that it was those nations. i don't say try me as all right, do we turn their songs alive? zip are ours. you will guns, super big troughs part of an adult, so must return population. there is russian. it's never had anything to do with the the,

the moon would usually start. so with numbers you must, or we need to take into account the situation in the middle east by 2024 events will unfold. that will make everyone forget about the print. that's where the most terrible events will have. the

now the election come to the tense time for rush or of course with the ukrainian conflicts still raging or the west responds to it. is that a well considerable impact on the incumbent president stands towards rushes for my professional hotman's. overall. it's why he's murder costs are right, but she spent assessing pollutants perception across the world during his time and challenge. it's a very interesting piece of work right here. enjoy. well the person became ross as president for the 1st time. it was a breath of fresh air and not only for russians, it look good and promising of the beginning with the west appearance, a welcome rush. as near later i have come to moscow important time. russia, after all, has a new president, a new government, under doom. its economy is showing encouraging signs of growth. this gives russia i pivotal opportunity to build on the strong record of engagement between our 2 countries. it is also an opportunity for the united states. i welcome

president clinton's interest in building a russian that enjoys the enduring strength of a stable democracy. they evidently liked what he had been said, and they were eager to engage for some boots and went on to define. his vision is only the west had listened. instead they went on to prove that they only support those who follow them blindly. yeah, he found the recession of democratic principles in international relations. the ability to find the correct decision and readiness for compromise on a difficult thing. but then it was a european who was the 1st to understand how important it is to look for consensus over and above national egoism. we agree with that. all these are good ideas. it seem just recently that a truly common home would shortly rise on the continent. home in which the europeans would not be divided into east and west and northern or southern exams. today we must say one thing for all the cold war is done with we have entered

a new stage of development. we understand that without a modern sound and sustainable security architecture, we will never be able to create an atmosphere of trust on the continents. and without that atmosphere of trust, there can be no united, greater than a lot of our puts in the most optimistic about russians relationship with the west . we'll see what he have to say about this assessments in hindsight. but for now, let's say in the early 2000, that's when the russian lead or even consider joining forces with nato russia, russia, she's part of the european culture. and i cannot imagine my own country and nice solutions of some is from europe and what we often call the civilized world. so it is hard for me to visualize nato as an enemy. i think even posing the question, this way will not do any good to russia or the world. the very question is capable of causing damage to be enough. we are open to equitable cooperation partnership, some folks, even joe biden, a senator at,

but sign was singing his praises saying that no russian leader since peter the great has passed as long as lots with the was as boots and it has well, it was all good as long as russians leader did it in severe and international affairs, it seems, well the warsaw pact long dissolves and soviet you're a basis close. mass go will seemingly play into long and was expecting this partners. so do the same. washington, however, continued to expand nato, withdrew from the answer, ballistic missile, pretty well innovating. i've gotten this done before it moved on to iraq. well, experts say that was the turning point. russell's adamant that these developments require the let's have a look here that requires a political settlement. and they emphasize that the situation could only be resolved for international cooperation through the security council. and in compliance with the un charter. we stand for resulting the problem

exclusively through peaceful means. any other option would be a mistake. it wouldn't be fraught with the grievous consequences. it will result in casualties and the stabilize the international situation in general. well, we all know what happened there, a total and utter disaster, the west continued to ignore a lot of my pollutants. warnings was withdrawn from yet another treaty. this time on nuclear arms reduction. the big picture was looking very suspicious. let's not forget that one of the boots is main issues from the get go was for the west to stop expanding nato or a sports rush. so naturally saw it as a threats, but it says it's not as good as shooting. you mean nato expansion does not have any relation with the more than i zation of the alliance itself. or with ensuring security in europe. on the contrary, it represents a serious publication that reduces the level of mutual trust. and we have the right to ask against whom is this expansion intended?

and what happened to the assurances are western partners made after the dissolution of the warsaw pact. i would like to quote the speech of nato general secretary, mister warner in brussels on 17th may 1990. he set up a time that the fact that we are ready not to place a needle army outside of german territory gives the soviet union a firm security guarantee. where are these guarantees or that fell on deaf ears once again, because they had all continued expanded, have a look at this map right here. this is what it looked like before nato didn't just swallow up new members, both countries that used to be part of the warsaw pact with the soviet union and they kept moving closer and closer to rushes boars. the spies vladimir boots insane . stop for you, william. unless you're going to use the motion of russia cannot react to actions that undermine and security. further expansion of the military block is a problem for us. so let's leave amicably and have a fair dialogue. guys,

this is the way we are treated. we will react the same way, but today i felt that i was hurt by my partners, but they did unless it was towards the end ukraine, next on the list, the plans that are in georgia and so and, and so i rushed and stave didn't work out as pride, but america was on the church and essentially took it upon itself to make sure that the plan for kia was put into action as we all saw with the my down to in 2014. well, despite the fact that keeps the military had killed thousands of civilians in the pro russian don't boss for years, bladder were approved to remain calm and collected urgent all sides to negotiate that a miracle happened with both parties signing the men's agreements. so and all hostilities, yeah, feeling pretty seniors cuz i'm, we probably would generally join what has been said here. today's negotiators have adopted a final joins document the 3 of firms,

the risk ability of strict and consistent implementation of the minutes agreements of 12 of february 2015, and stresses the importance of establishing direct dialogue between the parties to the conflict. but it was all a hoax. i knew it was in on it. it was all as sold tactic aimed a given key of time to prepare and offensive. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to buy time. so you crane. you can use this time to become strong. the, as you can see you today, you created in 20142015 ukraine today. and the same week, the deal merkel was right when she said, that's because they thought it was put in who wanted to buy time. but no, it was us wanted to buy time to give you crane a chance to recover to strengthen its military capabilities, which will be today negotiations with pretend that would leads to a status quote view. so as long as you crane wants to keep fighting,

as long as you crane is able to force the russians to retreat, no negotiations or possible duplicates, you'll see the question is whether with the help it can get ukraine has the military means to force putin to back down, if it doesn't have the military means, then yes, negotiations are necessary. find to the lawsuit crazy and the force the raw service to retrieve there should be no negotiations. this is what they were really thinking as it turned out. but publicly, there were still pretending to be supporting a peaceful settlement. the normandy meeting was praised as a major achievement by all sides. because meetings in this format have not taken place since 2016. put in the grade, it was a warming of relations with ukraine. macro on said the sides, have made progress on disengagement. prisoner exchanges ceasefire and the political evolution. a new summit in the same format is set to take place in 4 months time.

it was all a scam, just like washington's promise not to expand nato, leaving russell with no other option but to use military force to protect the civilians. in former parts of eastern new crane, the west had been launching their interventions all around the world for decades in the name of suppose of democracy, which never actually comes to countries they invade. but when russia simply stood up to save some lillian, so she is military. natal cried file. yes, that was definitely neva t. i can tell you with absolute sincerity, despite the fact that i worked in the security services for 20 years, i still had an idea that the whole world and the so called, civilized world understands that russia has become a different country. that there is no ideological confrontation anymore. and i usually thought that it was the inertia of thinking and actions. that was a nice belief. and the realities are that after the collapse of the ussr, it was believed that russia would also collapse. then they wouldn't be able to pick

apart the pieces and use our resources and was only later that this realization came to me. that a light then never well now he knows without a doubt that the west cannot be trusted. just as the west now knows, the bladder were approved in means business, and he'll stop at nothing until he gets the job done a while. meanwhile, russians living abroad than all being excluded, either upholding stations or open all across the world, including in former soviet republics in central asia or an eastern europe. with context on cute, it gets done and took menaced on among those countries where russians have been able to vote. people also gathering outside the russian embassy is worldwide from asia to europe. you can see the lines in different locations that different continents people waiting to have the say, the following stations remaining open until 8 pm local time, where on the streets of cross these regions we heard from both is invalids. you

see the version that presidential elections, the voice being a particularly significant day to me and that is not being a single day since 1990 that i've missed voting in the elections. i believe that it is the own ruble and where the juicy of every citizen of russia at the federal level. so i know this is my 1st vote. the russian presidential election is a very important event for all country and even be in the malaysia. i think it is very important to take a civic stance and speak your mind. that's why i came here today and voted. i am very glad that the russian embassy and malaysia provides this opportunity. the adults in long to lot of these selections have very exciting. i am from crimea. we made our choice in spencer 14 and be a very happy that we are always together with russia. whenever last it hasn't been entirely smooth everywhere stuck in a couple of potty purpose. 19 through a file bomb over the fence of the russian embassy and the multiplan capital.
