the energies, countries, valley or these country sorta sorta jump in, but every country, the top 3, they all have to deal with external actors, external players getting involved, right? absolutely. and that is what is very dubious about these list. and i think one of the things that we've noticed about western media, at least from the vantage point that we have in india is the fact that, you know, there's a lot of narrative been doing and very little factual basis to whatever the ratings of whether it's a united states permission for religious freedom, which diamond again, what's some dubious countries at a higher reading that even india or eighty's less likely are you going to listen to this? you know, yeah, you could in, if you look at the media in the us, it says it was right off to these selections. that media like m and a m s. c is nbc a. cnbc or drop the viewership by about 30 to 40 percent. they have to sac over

$300.00 employees. yeah. you know, it says not about the kind of beat that the news that the big link has e m, by the or for just so i think, you know, this should be taken with a pinch of salt rory. i don't think you know, the reason is that that really behind these list tonight. yeah. he just started the 2 bedroom a narrative more than to really give any sort of legitimate readings. i think he just now the around a that what is narrative peddling those narrative, so glad you're nailed that one that i mean that and john decided to stay which felt of the india foundation live on our program. thank you very much for your time. as i think if i don't answer this program life or i'm most cobra and you just getting warmed up, there are lots of guests and correspondence still to join us when we were ton i will be the

the senior rates here. uh, how do you assess the progress of the special military operation which has been going on for almost 3 years? has victory become closer and that finishes the floor? and the of course i was expecting questions of these kind to get on a lot of them on the sending the volume that was received over the previous days and more. i am also grateful to you for this because it gives us the opportunity to show what is happening and what our guys are doing on the line of contact the plumbers to the fight. there's one with whom i communicate to regularly. give me all sorts of souvenirs has given me a pull. let's give me some kind of weapon. and so we can just recently, the soldier single of the 150 feet marine brigade of the pacific fleet, or is this candid me a copy of their buckled banner? the what's the yes,

it's the i took it with me for this. the 1st of all, i wanted to think the guys for this gift or 2nd, let's assume that this is the bundled of the 155th brigade of the couple of pacific fleet. the marines slip here representing all the bucking flags of our fighters, who are now fighting for russia for their homeland on the entire line of contact. i must say that the situation is radically change to it. so you know this, well, i just want to confirming that there is movement to kind of follow along the front lines every day. as i have already said, we have to think about moving to north 100 meet. there's 200 or 300 meters. you, our fighters are liberating $33.00 by the square kilometer. i want to emphasize every single day. why is this happening? first for the previous year? and so it is, in principle, such a classic picture of the development of military which operationally squint at 1st

. they let loose the enemy claims, and then he is seriously overcome in terms of equipment, munition, and personnel. then the one on our personnel begin to move forward. that's exactly what is happening in this case. fighting is a difficult problem. seeing it is difficult to think ahead. we are moving towards solving the primary tasks that we outlined at the beginning of the special military operation test for the guys they are working. i'm constantly talking about it, and i will repeat it because there is every reason for this. they are acting hit or weekly. the capabilities of our armed forces are increasing. i say it's a mean always press each, but it was, i mean, i can't help but ask about the statements that we have heard from you over the past few weeks, maybe seeing the 1st come by the tests of the new arrest. nick, miss arnold with the videos being spread all over the world. it seems that the missile really has no flaws. but in the west, for example,

they continue to claim the rational because the modification of old soviet weaponry meet. they say the missile can be shut down by defenses. even at the launch stage, how would you come into about this or the to? the 1st is about how old or new or modern these weapons are. this is a modern, very new weapon. everything that is done in any field of activity is based on some previous developments on previous achievements. and then people take a step forward with it to deal with. does the same for the ocean? the controls are certainly yes, there were developments in the more than history of russia here on this basis, scientists, designers, and engineers, and thought about what else to do. thank. what did they did, their positions with the defense ministry here comes with the customer in your, in the end it came to me. and i also took part in the final decision on whether to produce it and to what extent, when and how. this is a new web link. i repeat once again. these are medium range in short range weapons

and a many you said that some experts in the west to believe that such a me so could be easily shut down and destroyed. what can you say to such experts? there are several types of air defense systems. if you're the patriot and more modern type systems, i don't know whether cube has them or not. those type systems are more modern, somewhat similar to our as 400. we will ask our guys in ukraine so that they can perhaps tell us which ones are there. when i talk about our guys, i say the so more than sky, without my or any. we have people to talk to in ukraine. there are many of our guys there, there was who, together with us, also dream of reading the country of the new nazi regime. 0 to the next to sean. so there is no chance of shooting, don't these me sales if those western experts think so let demo for us and let them offer those in the west and the us who pay them for their analysis to conduct some kind of technological experiment. and let's say a high tech dual of the 21st century and let them identify some object to destroy, say,

if concentrate all their defenses and missile defense forces there. and we will strike there with the original condition and see what happens. we are ready for such an experiment, which is the other side. ready? go with the 2 questions in english. if you don't mind. sorry, i missed the best of the 1st one is about the president elect 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 lead of syria who you supported has been over simone. mister president's, when you face of president elect to trump, 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. you said that this conversation will take place in a situation where i will be in some weaken state for dear colleagues. and i say,

dear, because despite all the persecution of our press, we allow you to work in russia and you do it freely. you and those people who pay your salaries in the united states would very much like russia to be in a week in state. 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. they said, for i believe that russia is largely in the state. we were striving for. it has become a truly silver in the country. that's what i want to remind you about. another question that a colleague asked about the murder of general care allows us to get all the kids to . can you about the murder of general cumulus you said an assassination attempt? i am grateful to you for this because you in directly acknowledge that this is a terroristic reason. why? because this is a murder committed in

a way that is dangerous for the lives of many of the regime in cuba has repeatedly committed such terrorist crime. terrorist attacks against many citizens of the russian federation and enforce canal when they shoot civilians cannot. i mean, in the course region and other territories of russia, journalist and your colleagues were killed. they committed federal reset tax against journalists. we have never heard. i'm not referring to you personally right now, but we have never heard from the western journalism cool condemnation of such a terrorist attacking is over them. but i am grateful to you at least still remembering this. all you prepared to compromise in any way over. you cried, and you say that keith should compromise, ukrainian, should come to mice. what are you prepared to offer potential negotiations potentially led by president like trump. the politics is the art of compromise. and we have always said that we are ready for negotiations and compromises. it's just

that the other party, literally and figuratively, refused to negotiate. and we are always ready for this. compromises are always the result of these negotiations. after all, we reached an agreement in eastern bul in 2022. and i repeat, for the 100th time, the ukrainian side initialed this document which means that it generally agreed with it. then for some reason they refused. while it's understandable why? because you had outlined mister johnson who came here with his good hairstyle, and he said that they need to fight to the last ukranian here they are fighting. so for these ukrainians who want to fight will come to an end soon. in my opinion, there will soon be no more people who want to fight their we already what we need that site to be ready for negotiations and compromises on the cover, which is the duties book. and mr. trump mentioned that his assistant keith kellogg believes the war could be ended even before his inauguration on january 20th. if we entertained this idea were simply talking about the possibility of a cease fire at a moment's notice. is such a ceasefire achievable as russia prepared to take this straightforward step?

can your p in an american partners persuade key up to agree, especially since the entire world seems fatigued by the ongoing ukrainian crisis. it appears that people in russia also desire peace. now this could be a simple decision with no one losing anything. could it be possible just to stop where we currently are? so to advise you in new york, this is a sincere attempt to find a solution of you. 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 proxies. they are actually a belligerent party. is it possible to stop the hostilities right now? there is a depletion of call about the equipment, munitions, and most importantly, right? so, so now on the part of the ukranian armed forces, our army is moving forward to stop for the week 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. people in ukraine are

snatched from the streets like stray dogs. as i already said at the ministry of defense, they are snatched like straight dogs, but at least those are brought to shelters, frustrated animals, and then they try to assign them to families. but here they simply throw people in the firing line. we need peace, long term lasting peace, 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. the prime minister of hungry, mister oregon 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 1st people talk to the ukrainian side, we agreed at least 3 times, 2 events of this kind on shipping in the black sea and on energy infrastructure and so on. the gun also made proposals, and suddenly the head of the ukranian regime announces no negotiations, no true. so i think then i call him, i say, to the gun what's happening? he says, well, that's what our partners are like. i asked or been to he also proposed the christmas truth. he also proposed an exchange of prisoners. i did not refuse. the

next day, the head of the regime announced that there would be no truce, no prisoner exchange open. a new crew of ukraine has cut off our guests, applies to europe and consumer city. 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 and gas, the euro, there would be no such contract to, to work out. everything is already clear. so well then, all right, we will survive and guess from wizard by this, by the way, our special services to recently reported to me that in slovakia some of those have been detained and it is clear just like that they are ukrainian. so what they're so good with maps of the location of gas energy facilities. in slovakia, scott, i will ask through partner channels about that. if 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 unit is higher level shot mission is realize violating international law by killing tens of thousands of people, including children in palestine and 11, uh, israel is now taking advantage of the situation in the region to occupy syria and violated sovereignty. how would you comment on israel's actions in syria and in the region as a whole? did you have a conversation with turkish president or to gone to the thank you? and when the himself, we are in constant contact with president there, don't like them. i can't remember the last time we talked with him, but of course we discussed the situation in the region in the middle east. the attitude of president the gun and to a 2 year towards the events taking place in the middle east is well known to everyone. and our position is well known regarding both lebanon and palestine. our position is not subject to any current environment. we have always believed and currently believe that the only way to resolve the 1st thing in the problem is to

remove the cause of its occurrence. it was decided by the un security council at the time that 2 states should be formed. israel and palestine more than israel has been created. 20 talestine has not actually been created. yes. and that's the whole problem. so more over the so called the legal settlement activity continues on the part of israel. i do not know what the final goes. is it really is pursuing, and that goes a strip. but what's happening is reprehensible. most of us, we have repeatedly condemned this almost all levels, starting from the public level and ending with our position in the un security council. there's nothing to add here. the same goes for lebanon, or what about syria? i think that so frankly dorothy is doing everything to insure it security on it. southern borders. i'm in the development of the situation in syria to create conditions for the return of refugees from their territory to other territories of syria, which are concentrated on the territory of syria, which is actually under the control of turkey. to move perhaps the kurdish

formations away from the border. all this is probably possible and maybe it will even be done to some extent tournaments, but still the main beneficiary of the events taking place in syria or in my opinion . so is israel, and you can treat what israel is doing as you like. russia condemns the seizure of any city and 3030. so it's obvious. our position here is not subject to any adjustment of the way to the to what is it really is also solving security related issues for itself. that line on the go on heights. a well known line is the real advanced. 6263 kilometers along the front to a depth of 20 to 25 kilometers. it entered the fortifications that was stipulated by the soviet union. it's like the most, you know, line a really serious fortification. we hope that israel will one day withdrawal from the territory of serious people have come, but no, it is bringing additional troops there. i think there are several 1000 troops there . now. i have the impression that not only are they not going to leave, but they are going to strengthen their motor over the local population has already

asked to be included in the jewish state. and that would be another problem even then. so if everything that is happening leads to the disintegration of syria, then these are issues that will have to be resolved by the local population in accordance with the child that of the united nations and with the right of nations to self determination is not possible. this is a difficult question. it is not for today's discussion to, to you as a decades long problem with the goodness done workers party. i hope that there will be no escalation. but some european politicians recently told me if meetings that after the 1st world war with the kurds were promised their own state that they were deceived. and so on the well, there are codes in this region in georgia. yes. how many millions are there? 10000000 sending me wrong, so i just continue rock at the to put the live, come talk to me. how many codes are there like you know, better than me? well, at least 30 to 35000000 issues. this is a serious condition problem. and the codes are serious guys, serious fighters,

because each problem needs to be resolved, it was necessary to solve this within the framework of syria under president decides. now we need to decide things with those authorities who control the territory of syria to you. also needs to ensure its own security somehow, ethically we all understand this. this is not for our meeting today. so as not to waste time. i just want to say that there will be a lot of problems so, so, but we are on the side of international law and for the sovereignty of all the states while respecting their territorial integrity. and so, bearing in mind syria, including bearing in mind the position of the current authorities on these issues, which controls the territory of the syrian republic today. so i think in the sense, we are on their side, by the way, we are in contact with them. so we are in contact with all the groups, including the main ones that are now in control of the situation in syria. algonquin, i've seen that it's in the how do you assess the current state of development of china russian relations? please tell us what are the main results of co operation between now countries. the

2nd question, next year, china and russia will jointly celebrate the atm anniversary of victory in world war 2, as well as the 80th anniversary of the founding of the united nations. in your opinion, what role does the interaction and coordination between china and russia play in maintaining global strategic stability as well as international justice. thank you very much for me and you were just to go with him. we often talk about the interaction between russia and china. next year, we will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our country. over the years, a lot has happened in our relationship, but in recent decades, the level of quality of these relations has become probably better then if before too, i will know, talk about the economic component. but 1st of all, it has to do with mutual trust. everything we do in relation to each other and how we do it is based on full trust in politics on one side and on the other. we are not doing anything that would contradict our interest system and we are doing

a lot that meets the interests of both the chinese people and the people of the russian federation. i have already talked about the economy according to various estimates. the 3 turnover is $220.00 to $230000000000.00 up to $240000000000.00. over the past year. the growth has continued, but it is moderate. in my opinion. there will be 3 percent growth, but there is growth. that's the 1st part. the 2nd is investment activity. we have almost $600.00 projects for joint investments, also in the amount of $200000000.00. what does this mean? the suggests that the future is assured. and finally, a very important component in my opinion, is that you mind if they're in part as much as we constantly hold a cross cultural year a year of youth exchanges. this is all very important for specific people. this is the basis for the development of economic dice and political interaction. the most important part is regional cooperation from a regional leaders communicate with each other. here,

there is also multi liquor and vodka of course. but everything is very motivation. as far as i understand, it's the personal chemistry that matters. and there are exchanges between students, between higher education institutions who are now to the great picture of the core . the russian federation and the people's republic of china were the most effective countries which achieve their victory during the 2nd world war. as a result of the heaviest losses, we used to say 20 or 25000000. now some historians say 27000000 people were killed in the soviet union. they were even more than china. they don't talk much about it at all. but there were more in china. there were more than 30000000 to what the japanese soldiers were doing on chinese soil is to williams. the chinese people were put through so many horrors. but we worked together. we were together then and we have together now. and this is the most important factor. i keep talking about it of stability in world affairs. such an instrument of stability was created for

this purpose, such an instrument as the united nation, certainly russia and china, our founders of that organization. we are members of the security council, permanent members of the security council. we very often almost always coordinate our actions in the international arena. this is a very serious element of international life. we will continue to do this um, with the best regards to the leader of the people's republic of china, among whom i consider my friend, president eugene thing and, but the exports. ricks has reached a fundamentally new level after because then somebody that much is clear and most for me. in fact, i cannot recall the time when dozens of world leaders gathered in moscow and especially with gigi and pings, not render amadi, and others at the forefront of how well have your expectations been met regarding countering the western world order. that's my 1st question, and here's a little follow up question. are you considering the possibility of establishing

the bricks, headquarters and cause them? i thought it was because you mentioned that such a large number of leaders from various countries haven't gathered in moscow. correct? there hasn't been such a gathering, but there was one in cars on let's thank you cause then for providing us with this opportunity, that's the 1st point. and 2nd, it seems we aren't really creating a headquarters per se, and there are separate instruments being established that operate in the interests of the entire organization. we will certainly make use of all the capabilities of the capital of thought this done that had been developed over previous decades cause on has made an incredible leap in its development. this is no exaggeration. i believe it is one of the best cities in europe, and i am glad to say so hopefully we are proud of moscow. it is one of the largest and finest mega cities in the world and cars on is developing rapidly and actively . we must give due credit to the tags and the culture. you know, everything is clean and tidy that are delicious and check checks next on the table and so on. because i know people of various nationalities live together in peace and harmony, respecting each other's traditions. there's another point i'd like to highlight.

you said that bricks is developing as a tool against the way that is not true. you are mistaken. bricks is not the tools account of the way. we do not work against anyone. we work for our own interests for the interests of the member states of this organization, like we do not build any confrontational agenda within bricks. however, the organization is growing quickly, and many states are showing interest in expanding bricks. why? because this work is based exclusively on mutual ality respect for one another, and the consideration of each other's interest. decisions are made by consensus, which is very important to, you know, there are no small, large states. of course, no more or less developed ones. it is a union based on shared interests. the interest is to develop new tools, assaults, and created to ensure the pace of economic growth and to change its structure to meet the future needs of humanity. so the tricks and the entire union can become a leader in this forward movement and looked at the just some time ago as you know, us president joe biden pardoned his son hunter who was convicted of making false

statements while purchasing a firearm. because everyone to share their opinions on this, it seems there was quite a stir about it. you remain silent. perhaps you have nothing to say on the matter. what do you think about it later, as well as for biden, you know, he is a politician and it's always important to consider what is more prevalent in you, the politician or the human being. it turns out that there is more of a human invite and i wouldn't blame him for that because the store to adjust the questionnaires, then you know, it feels like the world has either gone crazy or is going crazy because the potential for conflict in all parts of the world is actually off the scale right now. the world economy is also in a difficult situation. how does russia manage not only to stay afloat, but also to continue its growth? i don't us, you know, when everything is come, measured, stables, we get bored and i'm stuck. nation. we want to move. as soon as the movement begins, everything we saw was by your temple. the 2nd still kind of bullets, but unfortunately, the bullets are really whistling. now it's scary for us, it's

a harder, well, not a complete horror. everything is measured by economics, despite your somewhat provocative question. so let's go into the economics now. everything is based on economics. when you, this is the basis of the basics. this is the basis for the standard of living of citizens. this is the ability. this is defense capability. everything depends on the economy. the situation with the economy in its entirety, in russia, is normal and stable. here we are developing no matter what, no matter what, external threats and attempts there are to influence us last year. as you know, what economy grew by 3.6 percent this year it will be $3.00 possible and maybe even 4 percent. we will have to look at that because the calculation of the results of the end of the year is counted almost in the 1st quarter of the next year, or $0.20 in this case. and maybe there will be for this means that the economy has grown by about 8 percent in 2 years. because as experts say,

i exchanged opinions this morning because tense looks like a hundreds of percent is a virtual thing about 8 in 2 years. in the united states, 5 to 6 percent in the euro zone one percent in the leading economy of the euro zone . in germany, 0 on apparently, there will be 0 there next year for international financial and economic institutions have ranked russia 1st in europe in terms of economic volume, purchasing power parity, enforcing the world china, united states and india. overhead to last year, we over to germany and this year over to japan, so sorry, but this is not an indicator on which we should fall asleep and come down. no, of course not. everything is developing so everything is actively moving forward. and what if the euro zone has fallen asleep? then there are other centers of global development. they are also moving forward. and the situation is also changing in the euro zone. and in the united states,

we must maintain the momentum and improve the quality of article. but also that was exactly 25 years ago, boris yeltsin resigned handed over power to you and told you to take care of russia . 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 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 best system. everything that was happening to russia before and after was leading us to a complete and total loss of our sovereignty. without sovereignty, russia cannot exist as an independent states. and i would like to draw your attention to what you said regarding boris nikolai, which yeltsin everything seemed fine. he was patronized, only patted on the back,

and no one even noticed when he occasionally had a drink. 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 build rate, the capital of a european states without the sanction of the un security council, he was immediately persecuted and labeled 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. the, the, the,

[000:00:00;00] the, because the headlines here, what are the ukraine withdrawals from positions outside the strong, the whole city of put a couple of dots in the don't bass. as most of those troops continue to reclaim more territory and russia and leaders up by roger retaliatory strides across ukraine, fitting that, come on central the nation security services, and some top bra supposedly killed in the striking days off of ukraine assessment. i did a russian general here, and most of the ones he refuses to print on the russian gas transit agreement to europe. it's set to expire in 2 weeks, potentially leaving europe in the cold is the landscape biting the hand that feeds
