2:00 pm
the the know it states via a repugnant piece about it, but this is also won't settle for it. so to solution the main get bonded on the front more than any is it supposed to me to stop the facilities right now. there is a depletion of combat equipment and munition. and most importantly, personnel on the part of ukrainian armed forces. our armies moving forward to stop for the week means to give the enemy the chance to gain a foothold from their positions. but the west side of the 21st, i think the jewel pieces, yes, they name with the cage of any number. any defense in a box rush that would find a new type of what to do with it. but that response says it is legit to concentrate
2:01 pm
all their air defense and missile defense forces there. and we will strike there with the original and see what happens. we are ready for such an experiment, is the other side reading events of questions i'm doing as many people in the hall, our present and say why, you know, most of us. so any info comes on why it's what you say is what you are. and this is done in my opinion, importance, and why should we demonstrate this important? we have enough arguments to state that we're positioned clearly the a very well welcome to you for the entire all to international new sealants coming to you live from boston. let's take a look at the top switch. so russia doesn't need a truce, it needs lost in pain. so that's the central method, followed by the net present about the plane conflict. during his math, i'm q and
2:02 pm
a session. it means that you are by healey. usually, this is a sincere attempt to find a solution taking your, you know, a view. this attempt is balanced and not imposing on either side. that is why it is being put forward by neutral countries that do not interfere in the conflict like western countries do who are actually at war with us using ukrainians as proxy. so they are actually a belligerent closet. is it possible to stuff the hostilities right now? there is a depletion of combat equipment, munitions, and most importantly, right? so, so now on the part of the ukrainian armed forces is moving forward to stop for a week and means to give the enemy the chance to gain a foothold on their positions. to take a break and get the necessary equipment and now munitions lane, people in ukraine are snatched from the streets like stray dogs. as i already said at the ministry of defense, they are snatched like stray dogs. but at least those are brought to shelters for straight animals, and then they tried to assign them to family. but here they simply throw people in the firing line. we need piece,
2:03 pm
long term lasting piece with guarantees for the russian federation and you're, it is a difficult question of how to provide these guarantees. but in general, we can look for it as for short term truces. here the prime minister of hungry mister orbits approached me with this proposal as to what's so difficult for you to have a christmas truth for a day or 2. i said, well yes, that's probably true, but the 1st people talk to the family inside. we agreed at least 3 times, 2 events of this kind of shipping in the black sea and on energy infrastructure and so on. then the gun also made proposals, and suddenly the head of the ukranian regime announces no negotiations, no true. so then i called him, i say, to the gun, what's happened? he says, well, that's what our partners are like i asked or, but to he also propose the christmas. true thing is he also proposed an exchange of prisoners. i did not refuse it the next day, the head of the regime announced that there would be no truce, no prisoner experience on the assess here say that we're right at the heart of the action during the direct line move. i'm able to see hold us the actions
2:04 pm
while a few creek. he needs especial off to that absolutely. marika and press conference my 1st time actually in the pool itself. what really stood out to me was how the energy of president pushing it just didn't this over the course of those 4 hours in 27 minutes. and he was just moving with such ease between a huge range of stories from the domestics to the foreign from mortgages, to military advances from natural disasters to the art open negotiation. no, of course a huge chunk of the presidents was what dedicated to the conflict in ukraine. that was one of the most off about topics when it comes to requests from russian citizens. a few highlights, i do want to bring you stopping with the patients. comment about the hypotonic missile edition, which was recently deployed a few weeks ago against a military industrial facility in ukraine. the preaching,
2:05 pm
it was very clear. this is a projectile that absolutely has no e quote. and if you don't believe, austin, why not happen? this will say so you can do some experts in the west believe that such imbecile is easy to shoot down. just do it well if those western experts think so, let them offer us and let them offer those in the west in the us who pay them for their analysis to conduct some kind of technological experiment. so your height taken dual of the 21st century. let them identify some object to destroy the se in key of concentrate, older air defense and missile defense forces there. and we will strike there with the rational and see what happens. we are ready for such an experiment. is the other side ready? what obviously, that was a little tongue in cheek, but something that i really noticed was one continuing thought. idea on when pitching was discussing. what ad defense is, key of has audits. disposal. he said, we need to ask all guys that what they have um and he said diesel is so people who
2:06 pm
want to where does that country? oh, it's 3 must elements on policy. i got the strong impression that the russian leader was actually in contact with people. most of the minutes really put potentially even the political a leads to would have goals to almost every single question that was about the was the focus was on. negotiation has to be noted, but the lay of the land, as he talked today, is very different course to the late of the land as it was in is to vote during those peaceful from the spring of 2022, which was stopped by the british prime minister at the time, forest johnson on a product that was actually just one of 3 deals that most coke and kia have signed with a key of each time, then tearing it up. what also cropped up was keeps the patrons, namely those on the european continent. and the view from the kremlin seems to be on this, the day of absolute is shop themselves in the foot, not just financially, but in terms of security to open
2:07 pm
a pi. a crew of ukraine has cut off our guess applies to european consumers. on the one hand, it picks from their hands because only with the support of the west, including from europe, can it exist not only to fight, but to exist, and at the same time, it creates problems for them by cutting off the supply of our relatively cheap gas to europe, there would be no such contract. everything is already clear. so well then all right, we will survive. and guess problem was advised this by the way, our special services recently reported to me that in slovakia, subject there is have been detained. and it is clear that they are ukrainians of what they're doing with maps of the location of gas energy facility. single. in slovakia, i will ask through partner channels about that. it's not enough that we have terrorist attacks. now the european countries have them as well. i repeat, once again, they feed from the hand, pick from the hand, and have already moved on to attempts to carry out terrorist attacks on the territory of europe. so finally, on the conflicting ukraine,
2:08 pm
i do want to bring you the response to question from the bbc, because i think very comprehensively covered. uh, the longstanding western aptitude towards this, the world's largest nation, that alternate about exactly 25 years ago, boris yeltsin resigned, handed over power to you and told you to take care of russia each. now after 25 years. do you think you have done that successfully? because from the outside, what do we see? we see significant losses in the so called special military operation that you announced, we see ukrainian soldiers in the course of the region. you criticize nato expansion, but nato has increased at russia's borders. there are sanctions, high inflation and demographic problems. so do you believe you have protected your country? yeah, sure. 3rd, i believe that not only protected russia but also pulled it back from the brink of the abyss. everything that was happening to russia before and after was leading us
2:09 pm
to a complete and total loss of our sovereignty. without sovereignty, russia cannot exist as an independent state. i would like to draw your attention to what you said regarding boris nikolai, which yeltsin everything seemed fine. he was patronizingly patted on the back, and no one even noticed when he occasionally had a drink while he was very well liked in old western circles. but as soon as he raised his voice in defense of yugoslavia, as soon as he stated that this contradicted international law and the un charter. and as soon as he said that it was unacceptable in modern europe to strike belgrade the capital of a european state without the sanction of the un security council, he was immediately persecuted and labelled an alcoholic and other derogatory terms . don't you remember this? i did everything to ensure that russia remains an independent and sovereign power, capable of making decisions in its own interests rather than in the interest of those countries that were trying to draw it toward themselves while patting it on the back for their own purposes. nothing. now, beyond rochelle pools, the crisis and syria was touched upon and that the energy that i saw was that most
2:10 pm
go was the tip toeing a little bit. it felt that have to be cautious and diplomatic because of course, it's a very complex region. so many players involve the summer to rush to cooperate with on international platforms. one thing though, the russian needed was absolutely categorical about and that was one to have the most to gain from the toppling of to, to, to deal with just to get those to buy a turkey. so he's doing everything to insure it security on it's southern borders during the developments in syria to create conditions for the return of record you freeze from its territory to other territories of syria, which are concentrated on the territory of syria, which is actually under the control of turkey can some think of pushing back perhaps in the kurdish formations from the border. all this is possible and perhaps to some extent it will even be done. but still, the main beneficiary of the events taking place in syria, in my opinion, is these real and you can have any attitude towards what is really doing. russia
2:11 pm
condemns the seizure of any syrian territory. so our position here is not subject to any adjustment, but israel is also solving issues related to security for itself. i show this is the line on the golden heights. a well known line of israel has advanced to a depth of 25 kilometers to a provocative question by the n b. c. you suggested the collapse of assets regime on the latest subsequent cling to moscow could be considered a strategic defeat for russia. the head of state absolutely disagree. the 1st one is about the president elect to a trump. mister president, you have failed to reach the objectives of your special military operation. large numbers of russians have died including a general assassinated here. we must go this week and the leader of syria who you supported has been over simone. mister president's, when you face president elect to trump,
2:12 pm
you will be the weak elidah. how do you propose to compromise? what are you going to offer? yeah, that was good to me. i am ready to meet with trump at any time the you said that this conversation will take place in a situation where i will be in some we can stay dear colleagues, interest, and i say dear. because despite all the persecution of our press and we allow you to work in russia and you do it freely, you and those people who say your salaries in the united states would very much like russia to be in a week and stay on was wondering if i hold a different point of view. russia has become much stronger over the past 2 to 3 years. why? including in the readiness of our armed forces today, i can confidently say it isn't the highest place in the world. almost all nato countries are at war with us. the internal state of the russian troops is such that perhaps no other army in the world has today. therefore, i believe that russia is largely in the state we were striving for. it has become a truly suffering country, and i do want to finally finish on what's the me and i think for
2:13 pm
a lot of people who sat in the school today was possibly the most touching moment of the entire event. and that was when boots and was all about how the war has positively affected him as being how have you changed in the last 3 years? was like to know which seeming yeah. you know, we only change. we change every day, every hour. i always tell you frankly, we are joking now, and there is left during the whole, my stuff, the joking list and almost stopped laughing. i will say, you know, it was astonishing that was just a moment just a few seconds off that those words were that was just awesome. i mean, truly deafening. silence in the room that remind go of hundreds, if not more of us here. and i think we will really taken aback not necessary if i to watch themselves from the sentiment by the sincerity. you know, i think we tend to humanize politicians, especially polls, heads of state and see and going out best suited them through ted star retract
2:14 pm
thinks defense committees are addressing parliament, the speaking outs. concepts attempted by hundreds of thousands. we lose anyone about the fox. they all just genuinely human at the end of the day. and that sentence just a few was really, i think, brought home to everyone in the room. how difficult that decision was. the bottom it puts back in february 2022, but also how fundamentally he is just a russian citizen, like the 145000000. all those who wake up and watch the news, to pray for that loved ones to come back safe and sound from the front line. he feels the sadness and the tragedy that of course, the whole country is going through at the moment. so i mean, it really was at pick that was a motion and there were a couple of, of funny moments to and i do want to show the even a month, there's slightly emotional and obviously very heavy subjects. but what will so a couple of moments of likeness to to come comes away. so what you
2:15 pm
say is what you are. and this is done in my opinion, out of importance. and why should we demonstrate this importance? we have enough arguments to state our position clearly yet, no, i have long built myself up to the fact that everything i have to do, i have to do with pleasure. then you don't wish that i don't think it will be necessary. just like some people from ukrainian political leadership went abroad, he's likely to do the same. he will be taken in by the people who the service today . if he pops up like the devil out of the note and says, i need political asylum. russia does not turn it back on any one with a different it's a. well, that's what biden, you know, he is a politician. and it's always important to consider what is more prevalent and you like the politician or the human being. it turns out that there is more of a human and bite in which i wouldn't blame him for that. i see it across you.
2:16 pm
of course is the map you can see here, 1st of all, like any country. these are huge territories, but it's not just the territory, it's the history and the culture. these are our customs and traditions that is old russia. but still, the most important thing is the people i see russia as a family or so. so that is a 2020 full press conference on the 21st so called direct line. over and out we are done. we stopped before and a half hours. i didn't get to ask my question, but you know what pitching has been doing this since 2001. so fingers crossed, i'll be back here in 2025, and maybe next time he'll give me a shout. all right, it's less the end of this topic for the monks, the body to the internet, from a fad security, as is joining us live mock. good to see you. i mean a lot to unpack from a lot of they put this q and
2:17 pm
a to the i'd like to start with. if i may put his dismissal of, of the idea of quick fixes or temporary truces. i mean, he was, he said that he was a instead of last thing details. so side, you know, with the legs he even read didn't hear proposed christmas trees. i'm present a swap. my question mark is all we any close to a resolution? so i think we are closer to a resolution, but i don't necessarily think that that is a diplomatic resolution. as, as putting also pointed out, russian forces are advancing on the battlefield. now, not in a span of leaders, but of, you know, square kilometers a day. sometimes betty square kilometers a day. so in, in that sense, i think we are close or even if that doesn't necessarily mean that in, in,
2:18 pm
in this site in, in terms of diplomacy. well, we'll have to see what president elect trump does when he's in office. but certainly all of the ideas being loaded around the west remains 3 media supposedly coming from people like general kellogg, with, with whom he is, is tasking as, as an on boy to, to start some type of negotiation process. all of the ideas that they're floating around there, they're not talking to russia, they're still talking amongst each other and everything that they're suggesting, such as some type of immediate cease fire, freezing the conflict, the goal upon its current lines. uh you quote unquote peace keepers. um, a more, a tory on, you know, a, a temporary suspension on, uh, the cambridge gaming ukraine, joining nato,
2:19 pm
all of these things are completely unacceptable to russia. so i don't, i don't think we're any closer to any diplomatic solution yet. but you know, hope guys last test in date and, you know, log in. when asked about 12 with trump, but didn't said he's open to meeting this is however, despite the west and claims that his country is weak of me, i didn't know if you saw those. uh, those need is a this, uh sorry, the ripples is from n b c. uh the of that. but they said no, you no rush. it was waiting to now, you know, how can you justify this a top? are you ready to have a talk with tom? how do you see that kind of narrative going on? yeah. that, that was, you know, a typical western mainstream media. it wasn't so much a question as an attack. russia is weaker. how can you, how can you meet with, with trump when you, when you're so much weaker now that you're weaker and,
2:20 pm
and you know, later a reference the, a, b, b, c, in the audience, bbc journalist. and he said, wait, you'll get your time to attack. so right, i mean, because that's what this was say, it was an attack, it was a statements and in opinion that, that he was essentially challenging the russian president on. and, you know, i'll put dismissed it. i, i think 1st of all he, you know, a quoting a mark twain saying that us, that reports of his death are greatly exaggerated, but that he went into greater detail and pointed out while he doesn't agree with that narrative at all. and that in many sense is if not every science, and it's a very sense is russia is much stronger and more solver and an independent now. so in terms of economically a free of western economic blackmail. and certainly in terms of militarily on the
2:21 pm
battlefield, the size of the combat experiences, the evolution of its military technological systems. and, you know, he, he says that russia has essentially come through the choir and is now lean or mean or, and, and, you know, stronger than ever. yeah. indeed. and sadly, without any of it, i always had good talking to lots of other international affairs. i secured the things that are the are insight. thanks again. thanks for having me as well. if you missed the after sentence, don't worry. we have a whole lot highlighted, some valid inputs is miles in q and a session on our website. c dot com the wow. layla kito souls as low as a miss also like on the south west some what up on wednesday also is defensive. as this, as you claim 5, at least 6 us attack of broke is
2:22 pm
a full what is still shut out in this house during the bold bother against the rest of the legion? oh, think or thought shave those as the details? yeah. well, it took place in a rock star, which is a russian territory a long way from the front lines and ukrainians, fired at 6 attack them as me. so i was an american miss on for storm shadows, a british long range cruise missiles. now one thing that you don't hear routinely in the western media, you hear about the strikes you hear about the escalation by supplying these weapons for use, onrush and therapy. would you don't cheer but the fact that the russian air defenses con and routinely to destroy them and shoot them out of the sky on this occasion? that's exactly what happened. all. but one of these missiles that were fired at the kaminsky combine plant in raw stuff were destroyed and they were destroyed by russian air defense systems like the s 400,
2:23 pm
like the book and 3 like the puns here. remember, russia is probably at the forefront globally of air defense systems. so, uh, you know, despite this escalation, rocher kind of handled them the russian ministry defense and said it won't go on on search. but what's also important is the fact that in the context that this comes in presidency, lensky is in europe. the talking to a so called partners and talking about, you know, demanding and immediate entry into nato. and while the corporate a group, if you like, of the nato block of who supports them and phones and are saying, you know, we will start to ukraine will continue to do so. separately, things look a little bit differently at countries like germany refusing to supply taurus at long range missiles at the landscape, which is another luggage like of the storm shadow and the scout was fired and the scope of the storm showed that was for the rough stuff you've got the belgium refusing or unable. it says to provide f. 16 jets further jets to ukraine this
2:24 pm
year. and you got the police saying, look, we can supply any more aircraft. we tend to actually support with much of anything else because we're at the bottom of the bag. we can't do any more for you claim. let's have a listen to exactly what they had to say. it just shows me that we really gave what we could. we support and will continue to support ukraine was not nothing all against that. that's what we can guess. let's say that we are approaching the extreme mock. it doesn't mean i see. we reached the wall. we are running into a wall. we are running into a wall for some folks. yeah. so as you can see here, the desperation continues the strikes, essentially in effective against russian territory. that the biggest risk of them probably isn't gonna have an impact on the front lines where russia, as present improvement said today isn't advancing in meters. it's advancing in kilometers. it's probably going to be on an attempt to escalate, to get russia to lose its nerve and to do something radical in response ahead of
2:25 pm
president trump's appointment on the 28th of january. and we've had michael carpenter and adviser to president at a bite and saying, look, basically right now this is all up to trump. we're kind of out of the game here. and we know the president trump has a very, very different view of the conflict and ukraine. he's promised to end this very quickly, and it's really this gap now between now and january 20th with key a may continue to try and escalate the military effects of which amenable as we can see. but the political effects hoping that russia will again break its poll ease and let him know the truth will do something, according to their schedule, is probably the biggest risk or likely but we watch this space was enough. our views have press charges against the main suspect to the killing of general in good care of a loss, the court order of the detainee, and is a national to be reminded in custody before the 12th. steve faces asked me with the
2:26 pm
faces of committing an atlas of terrorism. what was easily possessing an explosive device rushing, i'm is that goal? so these have been trying to then tell me whether he had any direct accomplices. is that that agent is rates of being opened, so he's in volume playing secret services, but of imposing to have spoken via phone about the incident with the president of his breakfast on, who offered his condolences to pledge to strengthen countries. i'm to terrorism efforts to them. it is a main days ready? news outlet has pub this accounts on. is there any more crimes with those? but i the phone is that you spoke about killing civilians in gaza. the forces in the field call it the line of dead bodies. after shootings, bodies are not collected. attracting packs of dogs who come to eat them in gaza.
2:27 pm
people know that wherever you see these dogs, that's where you must not go. it's military white washing, the division commander designated this area as a kill zone. anyone who enters a shot, a detailed report by as well as oldest newspaper i had, reveals rare and shocking testimony from serving his really soldiers and officers exposing open fire policies and goals on that has led to indiscriminate. the killings and rent and lawlessness and the so called nets having court, or it is a 7 kilometer wide strip of land stretching from these really boulder to the mediterranean sea. effectively slicing garza into the i. d. f has forcibly clear this area of palestinians, demolishing homes and buildings to establish military positions and build roads. all those i had spoke to chose not to reveal the names, yet they all share similar stories. troops patrolling the corridor have strict orders to shoot. anyone who enters everyone is treated as an enemy, whether man,
2:28 pm
woman or child. yes, the exact boundaries of these the remain unclear even to the soldiers themselves as one account describes the kill zone extends as far as a sniper can see. the report also reveals that the figure is published by the idea of often the notes reflect the true situation on the ground. what officer we called a case when the idea of folks person claimed that their forces had killed over $200.00 militants, while in fact, after inspecting the documents and personal belongings of the seas only tend to work confirmed as a mass all protects. a fact that was never made public. another soldier noticed that some units were even competing over kill counts. for the division, the kill zone extends as far as a snipe. i can see we're killing civilians there who are then counted as terrorists . the id f spokespersons announcements about casualty numbers have turned this into
2:29 pm
a competition between units. if division 99 kills a 150 people, the next unit aims for 200 and others really 5 for recalls as try paying more than 20 surveillance. drones posted for on, on dawson's walk and peacefully. and despite no evidence suggesting they were milton's a tank moved in and opened fire with his machine gun, the man remembers hundreds of bullets. 3 were killed instantly while the 4th wounded, but still alive, surrendered, unaware of what would happen next. we put them in a cage set up near our position, stripped off his clothes and left him their soldiers passing by spat on him. it was disgusting. finally, a military interrogator came questioned him briefly while holding a gun to his head, then ordered his release. later, officers praised us for killing terrorists. i couldn't understand what they meant is randy military added that after a day or 2, the bodies were buried in the sand by
2:30 pm
a bulldozer and others told her account of the incidents where they killed an innocent child. one time guard spotted someone approaching from the south, we responded as if it was a large militant raid. we took positions and just open fire. i'm talking about dozens of bullets. maybe more for about a minute or 2, we just kept shooting at the body. people around me were shooting and laughing. we approached the blood covered body, photographed it and took the phone. he was just a boy, maybe 16 that evening. our battalion commander congratulated us for killing a terrorist, saying he hoped we'd killed 10 more tomorrow. when someone pointed out he was on armed and looked like a civilian, everyone shouted him down to the out of the report comes some mountain concerns over these really military is controversial and traveling conduct and guy's own actions. the army itself has a times confirmed. we do is circulating a line so idea of forces bombing homes and entire neighborhoods in gaza,
