stop considering possible timeframes or candidates and criteria from membership expansion. madam president of the steam representatives, once the western pulse in boston, nato expansion, things moved with extraordinary speed. all that was needed was to tell the russians that what was actually happening wasn't really happening, but it was all the segment of their imagination. for example, president bill clinton author assuring president yeltsin that the publish it for peace program was an alternative to nato enlargement. and not a preliminary step towards it, immediately went back with his work in january 1994, it prod. clinton declare that yes, authorship a piece was indeed the 1st step towards nature membership, partnership for peace. he said, quote, is not a problem and then holding room, it changes being time they to dialogue so that now the question is no longer with a nature will take on you members. but when and how? well, really, even at the moment,

clinton was already indicating that the eventual goal was ukraine's conduction into later a the end of july 1995 memo written for president clinton, then national security advisor anthony lake, post the us incentive to ride roughshod over the qualms with some europeans that nato enlargement was moving too quickly, lake boasted quote, some allies reacted to russian criticisms of enlargement. by suggesting that the outlines slow, the process we successfully consisted, make to stick to the time table. getting public us and nato leaders was saying something different, something that was manifestly untrue, namely, that nato expansion was bold about ending the visions. i'm bringing stability to your, for example, in 1994 secretaries said warren christopher declared quote, the expansion of nato will advise america's fundamental go a peaceful on devices and democratic your nato enlargement will enhanced ability

reduce tensions and prevent you dividing. line some of your us secretary of state, madeleine albright proclaimed in february 1997 quote. nato has held, bring within, as well as the most elusive of the century, and on divided your peace in which every nation is free and every free nation is a positive for those not invited to join this year, but wish to join nato, his door must remain open, but how could that be stability? how could that be no new dividing lines in europe? if nato expansion was to be directed towards the exclusion of russia, the russian leaders repeatedly expressed an interest in dates of membership in the december 1991. let us in day 2 liters written shortly off of the soviet union's dissolution. boris yeltsin propose exploring a framework for russia as possible. membership is native in 1993 in conversations with us and european leads is you also the game raised the possibility of russia's

joining beta, delton told nato secretary general memphis on a rush might consider nathan membership. if the alliance what to become a political organization rather than the military present, because in both those but the russians interest in nathan membership in march 2000 off by bbc presenter. so david frost, with a rustic with positive joint nature, boots and replied, i don't see why not. i would not be without such a possibility. if and when russia's views are taken into account. as those are equal partners booked and discuss possible needs a membership with president clinton, clinton report to the responded, i have no objection later on, clinton told him, you know, i sold to my team. no, it's not possible that nathan lee, the show not the slightest interest in exploring these offers of genuine partnership, genuine dissolution of batteries and genuine crane was unusual security. but native expansion directed towards the exclusion of russia towards the containment and

supplement of russia would end in disaster will solve this season. the observers of international affairs, renowned diplomat and historian, georgia kennedy, expressed is discussed at this bad rushed. it was late to involvement. i think it's the beginning of when you cold war he won't. in 1998. i think the russians will gradually react quite diversely and it will affect their policies. i think it is a tragic mistake. there was no reason for this whatsoever. no one was threatening anybody else. and all this question arises, what was behind this rush for nato enlargement? what was the need for it? no one was threatening anybody else to the country relations between russia and the west with unprecedented in their conviviality. you also incorporated with nature when you have a slot of you even working against the interest of reference for additional allied subs. this go operation continued with fulton fruits in was the 1st for a lead. that's a cool president bush off of the $911.00 terrorist attacks. and for

a claim, the brochure would become america's partner in the global war on search engines permits of the united states to transmit troops and weapons across russian territory on route. so after this, uh, president clinton has explained the rationale behind this bush to expand. they took writing in, in the april 2020, 22 additional. the atlantic clinton explained that it was all about the sphere of russia. suppose if quote writs onto ultra nationalism replacing democracy in. ready operation with aspirations to empire like people. the great and catherine the great . if rustic chose the rebuttal, ultra nationalism area was fueled by natural resources and characterized by a strong, well, sorry, 3rd, in document with a powerful military and a large nato and a growing european union with both the continents security so that we have nothing here about ending divisions your of about extending security throughout the your be

and confidence and all those other grandiose declarations need to lead is every day with us. with for the past 3 decades, it was full as russian leaders had suspected, all about containing. and he had surgery, russia with a hostile military alliance. mister president met him present from sir esteem representatives over the years. russian leaders have made their feelings plain, but they protests were repeatedly dismissed and ignored. in an interview with the telegraph in 2008 for the soviet president, gorbachev said quote, the americans promised that nature wouldn't move beyond the boundaries of germany up to the cold war. but now off of central and eastern europe, a members. so what happens to their promises? president yeltsin repeatedly express bafflement as to why major was expanding at breakneck speed is, is nathan rusher was supposed to be pompous in a november 1994 left at the clinton. y'all's been warned that the russian people

were increasing the seeing needs of expansion as quote, the beginning of and use that in your, in the, in december 1994 yeltsin aust, quote y, so the lead, so use of mistrust. after all, we are no longer the enemies in may 1995 in a one on one conversation with him at the kremlin with clinton. yelton declare, i see nothing but humiliation for russia. if you proceed, how do you think it looks to us? if one bluff continues to exist while the warsaw pact has been abolished, it's a new form of ins supplement. if the once dividing caldwell bluff expands right up to the board as a rush for the russian leaders were only too aware that nature had long set its sides on eventual ukraine membership in march, 1997 in helsinki clinton to just disclose the yeltsin that yes, the former republics of the us as a would indeed be joining nato, and that would of course, include ukraine. from that moment, things move quickly. main. 1997 sees the opening of the official nato information

and documents documentation sent that to you. july 1997 sees assigning open data ukraine, shonda and the stablish a little bit later. you bring the mission november 2002 season they to ukraine action plan. in april 2005 president george w bush. and then you bring president victor, your shrink to don't declare a quote. the united states supports nature, ukraine's nature aspirations, and is prepared to help you frame achieve its gates. the united states supports an offer of an intensified dialogue on membership issues with to crate. april 2008, of course, sees the nato announcement in both of us that ukraine would be a member of nato. and then just to take matters up to the present day. we have us defense secretary lloyd austin, announcing october 2021. that's a dual to nature. membership for ukraine was open as to how the russians would like

it to view ukraine's membership of late. so there was never no better source for this. then the car on c, i a director william burns in 2008 as us impasse that the must go. bronze wrote an e mail to us secretary of state police or rice, which explained, quote, ukrainian entry into nature gives the brightness of or red lines for the russian that leads in more than 2 and a half years of conversations with key russian players from knuckle, dragging the dr assistance of the kremlin to bolton's shop, as a liberal critics, i have yet to find any one of use ukraine in late to anything other than a direct challenge to russia's interest. madam president of the steam representatives, but the current war in ukraine was always about nato expansion. and not about caesar of territory, was all this from the author of the peace negotiations that took place shortly off of the side of the conflict for us in men's. then in his son. ringback in april 2022 in the sample, russia and ukraine and reached and initialed an agreement. the most important part

of which was that ukraine would pledge to become a permanent unusual state. it would never join nature or allow foreign military bases and 2 inches on it. so ukraine could, however, seek membership of the european union. crucially, however, ukraine was not lost to forego it's southern plains. oh, we're premiere on it. and look at those matters. what the be a result if you, to discussions between the president of russia and ukraine. however, this eminently reasonable agreement that would have brought the war to any immediate end, was not of a liking of key and they to leave this. washington became alarmed that ukraine was about to agree to this deal. according to the new york times, us officials told their ukrainian counts of us quoted. you understand this is unilateral to unilateral to some of that right. to find that the u. k. prime minister bar is johnson includes

a cab and search the landscape to drop the idea. holton was a little criminal, johnson said they should be crossed, not negotiated. ringback even if you crane were ready to sign a deal, johnson told him, the nature of powers was following. the collapse of the tops talk is foreign minister declared quote. there are those within the native. remember, states that once the war to continue and russia to get weaker, they just ball this is us, remains unchanged. despite everything that has happened, despite the experience of the possibility is despite the obvious fact that the expansion of the russians borders is generated, instability, and war. despite all of that, what does need to do? it continues to insist that ukraine must and will be a member of nature. in other words, the war must go on for the sake of a cause, ukraine's membership of nature that guarantees. ready nature's leaders are like the bull bonds. they have lost nothing and forgotten nothing. thank you very much for

your time and attention. not, not the whole mom to call. so you can switch the members of the council who would like to make a statement. i get the phone to the representative of the russian federation. dispose of that and president. we'd like to thank the representative of european civil society, george samuel is for his sobering report about what's actually happening and what triggered it. tends to be the current conflict. conflict that's not fitting ukraine against russians, but to russia and to the west. that is russia and the us in nature. we can add to his report, something that was added yesterday by this so i can permit us to rebecca because in europe we no longer use the word piece that were doesn't exist. anyone who speaks a piece as seen as fueling for anyone who speaks of war is deemed to be fighting for peace. and of course, we use this as the well in reality,

in which western states reside in today he's, they've decided to use the hands of the cube regime to inflict strategic defeats onrush. i'm going to give us, but their plans a cs go to the head of the cabinets. the hunter is concerned. he's concerned that him and his pulse, they are going to be thrown under the bus to put it simply is even black mailing the world by saying that ukraine might get and you click web. and this is something we discussed in detail on the 21st of october. yet a wisdom colleagues didn't say what about that notes with the carrier or sometimes the dk of hunter is getting involved in military escapades. for instance, the one in the coast region where the creating army suffered losses of over 25000 people, including getting the best trained reserves. there are no effective plans the sea otherwise which could be used to change the construct situation for the cleaning on the me. the key of no washington, no london, no brussels have such a plan nor can they come up with one. it's clear that without the west direct involvement in the war with

a nuclear power or something that to the cost you create in president, obviously wants to create in military will continue to retreat and sustain catastrophic losses. this is that of critically supported by information from the front with the russian army is successfully and gradually leading it's offensive campaign. it gets key and key areas. this is something that cannot be denied even by wisdom military experts that the, according to the data in october low. and we liberated 478 square kilometers in october loan by the end of the month that this was happening at a pace of thirty's. click on that as a date. there's millet trade in just a few. the last few days liberated such a large and strategically important settlements, such as go next to lead of a. could you read of god the reward you will give then? cuz my look a unacceptable check. jessica, and there's, nobody asked me to remove the counter offensive that ukraine seems to me when he lived in 2023. and during that campaign, it was

a got just 250 square kilometers, which we've since then liberated. so in 2023 as a whole, it seized 2 times less territory than we've managed to liberate per month. use. the most of the cables start to use are working very hard to hide the truth from the people. and there were some sponsors, as we don't yesterday because ukrainian meant service meant what audits to use in the discussions with drug lift, the with victory moving forward, pushing out the enemy to use those and not to use the words retreat or the enemy broke through our defenses. on top of that, we're going to use the pros, propaganda of the camp regime and these instances quickly deems cities. it's lost as being ones without any strategic importance or heavily subsidized examples, uh crock of a garage sequoia to risk across and to the remainder of the done bus that remains in the crating on forces control. and yet, the west continues to supply the cambridge game with military equipment,

including the tree artillery systems you a, these and tanks, including to ensure that western defense companies can make a quick penny and to use up their outdated and the old motor equipment. and the cube hunter is also remembering to line his pockets depending on recently conducted an order the according to which $2100000000.00 sent to create in between january and just to december 2022 soon. i mean, that was the oldest at the end. uh, it was found out that $1100000000.00. what i'm accounted for undocumented, it's unclear how we can check those payments. as for the corruption that goes hand in hand with the deliberate treat, deliveries of military equipment to ukraine is something that your list to look into later was it doesn't seem to me. and yet already washington and it's village are realizing that there's a list of reasons problem lies not in the fact that it doesn't have enough weapons, munitions. the main reason for the cleaning forces pulling back on the front is the fact that the people no longer believe the x x to which last or legitimacy back in

may. we believe that we believe soleski campaigned using slogans about peace with russia equal rights for russian speakers protecting orthodox christianity. that's why people voted for him. however, subsequently, in order to please wisdom to political interest, he chose the oaks at pucks, turning his country and to uphold in the game against russia. in the hope that with the us has help you crank can be the kind of queen on the chessboard this. this is a treacherous pause. tricked reciprocity, the cranium people, and the so is the landscape sold, photo, land, and strategic. that's w companies to western corporations for pigeons. this process is ongoing, as we found out from the secret annex to the so called the let's keep peace plan. could ukraine is ready to provide the us the use of strategic resources in ukraine, uranium titania, and lithium and graphite. these antics is probably secret because according to

article so teen, of the creating costs. the church and the crania in sub soil does not belong to the government belongs to the people of ukraine and giving away these resources to foreign companies would require a referendum as a bare minimum. so i like to remind you that the u. s. has already been, i got these deposits. senator lindsey graham suggested that to us could provide assistance to, to you and exchange for access to mineral, which he valued at $10.00 to $12.00 trillion us dollars with us, including selling off all of ukraine's assets as something of a sponsor that the cambridge emerged resting on and european council decision on giving out loans against frozen russian assets is in that document is a condition to on the transfer to brussels of the ukrainian military industrial complex assets. recognizing that the current creating leader is acting in the best traditions of faith traitors and against the people had been realizing that you

create into turning away from zalinski on this as a result of creating ami is experiencing a catastrophic lack of servicemen and to their normal volunteers turning up at the dropped of assessment in order to solve this problem, the regime is using all sorts of tricks into inventing more and more sophisticated method method to get the hands on recruits in order to plug holes in their front lines. young men not only be great being grabbed in the streets in public transport and small cities. imagine in fact the dropped off the line and wait for the concepts and restaurants into places where the menus to be able to go without fearing being snatched by the draft office. and then a few days later, after them present retraining ending up on the front lines, the hug for men is very harsh. it is not regulated by any laws, according to information that made it online in ukraine. as part of a force mobilization of a hot 100 men have died at the hands of this draft officer pallet size. no one's be

detained now has been punished and the information about these incidents has been hushed up and yet to still there is not enough for ken and photo on the front at the behest of kids. back as increasingly we're hearing calls to lower the draft aged 18 to 21 years old. in this context, many a hiding at home during the draft leading the country online. there are many videos showing ukrainian men have managed to cross the border congratulating themselves on sling, what they call the landscape concentration camp. you will lose me quite a few of them up to go to russia between february of 2022, in which 23 it seems to be in that period alone. 5.3000000 ukrainian refugees arrived to the russian federation. now there are many more on us or with this and yet to zalinski and his policy in sense that those who move to go to the west when you say that these ukrainians, when they encounter ever, they problems,

communication and discrimination based on the language they speak not only decide to move to russia, but they're actually moving to the very regions which joined the country following the referendums in the fall of 2022. and they're doing this on the ukranian men who haven't managed to flee, who are being sent to the front line forcibly. they decide to they've decided to surrender right away or to visit. but according to the data from the public, prosecute to the office of the crane. in the 1st 8 months of 2024, almost 30000 cases was opened following incidence of soldiers going able back in 2022. they were only 6 and a half 1000 in such cases, according to experts and actual facts, the number of visitors runs into the hundreds of thousands between 800170000. all of you crazy to do, discussing what's happening this free for all surrounding and mobilization process . and it is only keeps west and sponsors good. tried to turn them lined. i to this

fatal trend, trying to convince the head of the cambridge and to continue sending these parcels to the front desk of robust ukrainian soldiers who were taken prisoner had said to is that that in order to avoid the motivated decree and recruits from fleeing right away in the rear guard 0, well motivated nationalist and you're not seized. who uh, basically into a truthful says shooting them in the back if they tried to please. it's another way of keeping up the fighting spirit. and you creating ami is pumping the army full of the farm listeners. since we can't begin to special metric operation, at least $15000.00 missionaries from over a 100 countries have arrived in ukraine. most of them have been liquidated, but private military companies from poland and the us are trying to and list more, trying to entice people to send the 50 there. so it's meant to ukraine as cannon photo, just as to what, specifically the following private military companies are actively involved.

academy cubic conduct has benefits the incorporation forward observation group. hi, pier and services in the st of liberty fund of liberty international and the polish private military companies. aisd's, otago, and european security academy. it is mercenaries and nationalists who stand behind the most notorious, most chilling crimes and violations of international mature and law, including those committed by bandits and moreau does. when they invaded the course region. we have incontrovertible evidence of the most serious crimes being committed by the care of regime these to be the civilians and spending the infrastructure in russian cities. this is something we conventionally demonstrated at the right formula meeting last week. the fact that you, craney and soldiers shot at the civilians in the course region who are fleeing is something that even american journalists tend to recognize just a few days ago and president. without a doubt,

none of the truth. i've just told you that will be repeated by with some colleagues today, just like we won't hear any comments from them. regarding the countless violations by this lensky regime of the convention on certain conventional weapons. and usually they have been deliberately mining you creating a unit. so being deliberately mining broad shoulders, bridges, and territories surrounding residential buildings, hospitals and educational institutions. they've been using the civilian population, mining and with interest personnel, mind circle petto, the trips and mining the bodies of full and civilians and service men. for instance, just a few days ago video a pay it online and which he craning his soldier is dusting explosives into a child's toy, saying that this toy will be sent to the cause, the region, and then move it to the heck need narrative is repeated by the west and that's easier then assessing the fact which shows that the creating them forces have been

systematically using against the russian armed forces and civilians, toxic chemicals which uh, scheduled in the commitment on the chemical weapons, a visit and clerk. but for him as well. they've been using other agents, including right, control agents, these facts either hushed up or as could with tradition. they're trying to accuse of the russian federation of using these chemicals. on the 25th of october, the representative of savannah had tried to lay the blame on russia. the blame for using chemical substances, toxic substances into the same river. so to keep a got that back on the 13th of september industry chamber, we want against the potential release of toxic chemicals in the following room is the same and the desk now. and this could be done by a motor, the industrial complex company, ukrainian one in this too much. so me region, better president for the conclusion, i recommend that i wished and colleagues muster up the courage and recognize that the course they have chosen was the fighting. russia using ukraine,

enhances and justified the hopes of inflicting strategic defeat on our country and forecasts about to the inevitable. to those crash in our economy have not come to pause no matter how much the u. k. representative tried to convince us of the movie opposite yesterday. the facts, very stubborn. and they showed that the short sighted policies pursued by washington, london, and brussels at the moment and energy crisis of hit western countries and this citizens, the hottest. where is the russian federation managed to withstand thousands of sections. our economy is growing last year it grew roughly 3 and a half percent this year, economic growth is estimated at 4 percent. 3.9 is and yet the, the you, the years or economy is teetering on the brink of recession. we've heard that the will, the biggest, the germany's biggest company will try again, plants to close at least 3 plots, a to layoff tens of thousands of stuff and 2 and up to pay cut to between 18

percent on the remainder of its stuff. same. and in the meantime, said that investing in germany is pointless, and the company will now only invest in broadening its capacity abroad. attempts to isolate our country were proven to be in vain last week when yesterday, last week. in fact and cars on we held the brakes summit attended by leaders from $636.00 countries and 6 and special organizations which the state are the drivers of a process of finding, just sustainable and lasting peace and work to do creating crisis based on respect for the you and try to info, not just the bits about to reach all the integrity. what are the pieces that was the quote for the resolution of its root causes coming up with the last thing and the quote security formula which take into account the interest of old global plays . this is a serious approach. it's not just some attempt to impose ultimatums on russia, something that's divorced from or tell me what is the reality. i like to warn you that we cannot have

a repeat of the scenario with an agreement. we caught simply freeze the front so that the, so let's get regime kind of gets winds, just like we would have ukraine in nato, in any form units. our special military operation aims that demonstrates ation engine education in ukraine. all of the objectives are made in force there and changed what is changing and precipitously. so is the size of the territory under the control of the kid regime. i suggest those cheering on the korean sidekicks to remember the specs and just like to note about the zalinski policy. but rather about the interest of the creating people feel long term interests. lie in peace and good. and they believe relations with the russian federation sofa with some colleagues and managing to do so very well. i think you miss each of us up of the frontier. i give the thought to the representative of all here. let me go to some, i live comment here right there from the united nations in new york. the last speaker was about saving the band 0, the russian rep to the united nations. he's basically saying when it comes to ukraine, does not ukraine, but as russia, it's the west and they tow versus russia. you said they are well, it mentality the,

the west of trying to use the key of regime to inflict a strategic defeat on russia is a key of is basically black. marrying the world saying is trying to get a nuclear weapon and west and colleagues basically say nothing. 25000 ukrainians killed encoder. and for wat depends your thing. key of london in washington or brussels have no plans and no interest in getting out of his conflict. he said the russian army is winning across the board and ukraine and even western military experts con, deny this and just performed a bands. here was a georgia is on the wiley, who is a frequent guest here on this channel. jeremy wiley saying when it comes to the coffee and ukraine, the role of the company they could have been prevented is the responsibility of western countries. had nato not continued to expand, so russia's board is ultimately breaking an age old promise from the west of the hot george that nobody said of russia's proposals was no more in nature of expansion. i know members, membership for you pray, and it really was that simple and even going back

a number of years you crate and stays within a piece of legislation and want it to be a neutral state. but at the end of the day though, russia has wanted nothing more than just to be left in peace to rebuild his economy since the collapse of the us us off. but immediately after the collapse, wisdom power started in, circling russia and hammering its economy. many more details from the ongoing session of the un in new york right now online at odds, e dot com for now, here on the program is driving force debility in an unstable world. and that is a pledge of russia's top different about, we've been speaking that a q your ration security conference on the way in bell over is not the model that we might need to do. this nature has had enough of the board on least against russia, by the hands of the legitimate authorities in kiev. now the united states and the satellites and trying to turn the whole of your agents into an arena of g, a political compensation. the line says written in these documents that threats to .
