[000:00:00;00] the, the i cannot but agree with trump. the days he'd been elected president if his victory and not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis and ukraine that arose back in 2022, loving or approaching reiterates that must go, never refuse, calling to tax with washington saying it was the buys administration that kept the door firmly closed tasks out, the russian leader said he hopes forth fragmatic relations with the white houses new incumbents. also ad on the program, the russian army swift advance on the ukrainian stronghold in southern don't boston splits, keeps forces into with the loss or leaving many of its soldiers behind the if we look at the numbers from the past 3 years,

we will see that hungry has lost money, 19000000000 euros due to the sanctions, which translates to 7500000000000. i'm gary and for instance, on gary and prime minister at least 12, the use of the russian sanctions is costing hungry. i think that every member state is losing out those figures show despite sanctions. russian gas exports. the europe had only grown since the start of the year the mid day and talk to hey, not midnight in jakarta and 8 in the evening here in moscow. welcome to the r t international use. rob. love america has said if the 2020 us election hardly being quote stolen from donald trump. the conflict in ukraine may never have started a suit and because the pressure has never refused to have contacts with the us administration,

and it is not our fault of the previous administration refuse these contacts with the current you as president, i've always had business like, exclusively business like, but at the same time, pragmatic relations and trust thing. and i would say, i cannot but agree with from that if you've been elected president, if his victory had not been stolen from them in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine's that a rose back in 2022. well, let's discuss this further now with our t correspondent donald quarter, who joins me in the studio, some direct comments there are from the russian leader, take us through. what do you have to say surrounding that? well, vladimir putin began by reiterating something that he says, he said, time and time again for years that russia is ready to sit down, happened negotiating table and come to some sort of peace agreement. but the russian president also said that ukraine stance on talks is presenting a major problem because key of has actually banned any sort of negotiations with

law scale and until it's western sponsors for. so wednesday, the width that fam, it's going to be impossible to come to any sort of legitimate agreement and use to shake low, but usually with the current head of the regime in key. if, when he was still a fairly legitimate head of state issued a decree, fanning negotiations, how can negotiations be yours, dm's? now, if that band is negotiations begin within the current regulatory framework, they will be strictly speaking, illegitimate. and this means that the results of these negotiations can also be declared illegitimate to put her in, raise the main key of excuse. the simplicity of expression is happily doubling up hundreds of millions of dollars, but it is in no hurry to follow the instructions of its phones. as we know that such instructions exist to cancel the decree finding negotiations. but i think that in the end, as you pay the money to still force, keep to do this until this decree is cancelled. is quite difficult to talk about the fact that they can be started. and most importantly, finished properly. a solution is, you know, putting also said that trump's predecessor, joe biden, made

a lot of bad decisions that ended up hurting the us economy primarily by trying to prevent russia from using the us dollar and undermining it. as a result, on the other hand, pollutants said that he had a great relationship with trump during his 1st term in the white house. he called reading the relationship between the 2 presidents and not a business like relationship and a pragmatic one. so, you know, and also said he does not believe that trump is going to actually launch new sanctions against russia, which are inevitably going to backfire on the us economy once again, for most respect to some new or even if we hear about the possibility of introducing additional sanctions against russia, i doubt that the current president of the united states will make decisions that will harm the american economy itself. is not only a small person who's at pragmatic, possibly stand for most likely, it's really best for us to meet based on the realities of, to dates for calmly on all those areas that are of interest to by the united states and russia. right. we already cause gallery,

i'm sure that's also important to understand that donald trump says he's going to reach out to opec to lower the global price of oil. and for his part, vladimir putin said that he has a common interest with trump in keeping the price of oil not too high and not too low because after all, right, russia and the united states are both, some of the world's biggest producers of energy and also some of the world's biggest consumers of energy. so again, the russian president said he's ready to make a mutually beneficial agreement with the united states. but must, i was just waiting for the signals from the us. so the balls really in the west port right now. watch the space parties total quarter. bring this throughout. thanks. don't. all right, let's go now 2 developments on the ground in ukraine, conflicts of russian forces at funds in the heart of the region. a ukrainian torture room has allegedly been uncovered. a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. take a look at this. at footage, taken to by

a russian army unit is what we are looking at. and they said to show you print in soldiers for to death. the russian troops said the victims bodies appear to show traces of torture and not the men can investigate because they were shot golden chains. no official comment on the investigation has been issued. but those who sold the scene, the trips here, saying that the soldiers may have refused to be attack orders more on that as it comes. and now the russian defense ministry stays on the offensive on a key settlement in that then yet square public has split between the entrance into 2 groups. with more on the significance of thought here at ortiz ego shes out of sensually. we have had to have seen reports, which we have managed to corroborate via our own sources on the ground with the fight is that the russian, the russian troops have managed to effectively split the ukrainian garrison in the town of villa nova. she will come into hobbs,

which means that those ukranian troops that was stationed in the southern parts of that supplement. they have been completely cut off and encircled on the basically the only route that they could potentially use involves a crossing a river. and right now the temperatures, they have been steadily above freezing, so the con for you need use it by crossing all nice because there's no ice right now on rivers here in the don't boss. and so a congress swim across it. so the only way to get out of the situation alive is the to surrender. and this is something that the russian troops have been cooling on the ukrainian soldiers to do that. in fact, they even gave them special like breaks throughout the day during which they could use and utilize the opportunity to surrender right now. it's unclear as to how many ukrainian troops, how many ukrainian soldiers, uh, well made. i have to say the right decision and save their lives,

but according to ukrainian speakers and ukrainian ex military members of the law says that the ukrainian army is sustaining. and if any kind of a silk actually kolosso does have to shoot them, well, know that it's impossible to evacuate the issue of what did that, this is what the fight. just say those who can get out themselves, i guess out for the rest controls on the one hand or another enough pontoons. and on the other hand, everything is undefined. the situation is developed and now is critical. the situation with personnel is also critical to finances of the $110.00 to say that with the values assigned to them, they cannot carry out. the board is and they are not enough people. there's to be not enough people who can hold a weapon for those to say that they can be transferred from other units already. this was done even earlier to last. the last is in the 2nd and the rifle. battalions in the brigade no longer has information about those missing in action. when officers and soldiers tell me this, i understand that this has already become a system. yes,

there are no people there because this everyone's from recognizance to codes from chemical and biological protection troops to drive as the throwing it into the engine free because someone needs to plug the holes. this is the use of internal reserves, but these are not reserves from internal needs. everything goes to the infantry recently they brought in, people told unsuitable. not everyone can be in the infantry like rifleman needed now by the battalions and the brigades, one of the ukraine. and tom, i was one of them. creating an offices has suggested that and has revealed that they are looking for a ways to recruit new people, starting from the age of 18. because right now they can only full school, most forcibly mobilize those who have reached the age of 25 years old. here's what he had to say. we are trying to make an honest contract aimed at attracting mainly 18 to 25 year olds who are currently exempt from mobilization. it will also be

targeted at ukrainians who have the right to the permit or were discharged after the mobilization law passed. i know he has specifically abstained from using the word mobilization in his speech, but again, it is unclear what of the ways ukraine has to incentivize youngsters to join the ranks because those who were motivated they did so a long time ago. and many of them i have to say have already perished now, but there's a solution that has been floated by one of the ukrainian john this who is said to be close to ukraine is ruling leads. who has hopefully and downright suggested that the value of human life in ukraine should be even lower. because i sure of showing us tedious notes cause i believe that if we increase the value of human life, it will create a problem for us in further survival in the war. he can see it the only way for ukraine to survive. the next years of war is to lower the value of life on what

time you might right now with the from, for donald trump in office. of course a zalinski and his red knew they are trying to, well to literally fights for. they are literally fighting for the best negotiating position the but they can guess they are fighting for leverage sofa. they all failing on the russian sanctions have re topic across europe with hungry alone, taking a 19000000000 euro hit that coming from the countries prime minister, who warranted you colleagues. it's time to reconsider. such politics are those animals how to me if we look at the numbers from the past 3 years, what we will see that hungry has lost money out of the 19000000000 euros due to the sanctions to which translates to $7500000000000.00 gary and far in the place is an enormous amount, much more than one old on gary and people pay an income tax to the hon, gary and treasury in a year for that. and now of course the issue of extending the sanctions is on the agenda. and i us the european leaders to understand that this cannot continue to

nickel, so it is not acceptable for hungary to pass. such costs shall surely, others are losing as well. so that's the problem you don't mind for. i don't know behind gary and states or setting up a hung gary and government side, but there's at least as much as victor or button, well, storing energy prices up taking center stage with the e u and u. k. spending some 750000000000 euro to subsidize prices over the past 4 years. germany, by the way, use biggest economy of course, has seen energy roll material prices sky rocket by 80 percent last year. so if the trend continues to bump this diag predicts, the country will lose over a quarter of a trillion euro by the end of the decade. well, despite the looming economic hardship i, majority of european leaders continue to support bonds on russian imports. but the words appear to contradict their actions. that's go through this. because according to media reports,

figures show growth in russian elegy in ports with the ear buying more of most coast gas in the 1st 15 days of this year down in the same period in 2024. and that's all led to european politicians taking a fresh look of the sanctions. something funny, i don't think the sanctions policy should be such that the one who has sanctioned suffers more than the one who imposes the sanction. that's all, unfortunately, in the case of the sanctions policy imposed by the european union, it is partly the opposite. the reset and relations with russia will happen regardless of what anyone thinks in poland. we live in a world of propaganda, where it is believed that the western world has definitively severed ties with russia. so this is plainly a fall. so it comes in the western world, all business and politics are waiting to return to business as usual with russia. i think i've seen that on a midst it all, major european economies are feeling the heat. archie contributor rates and morrison brakes done one case in point as well. i mean, i could ramble off

a whole lot of success. x for example. people here are paying 20 percent more for food than they were before the ukraine complex or they're paying 40 percent more for electricity. i could just go on and on with stuff like that. never really ends and there is no end insights. but let's just face reality of what's really happening here. it's kind of like saying that if we're gonna talk about statistics, is it really worth it? if you're, you've just been hit by a truck in your line, in the ditch with it. right on top of you. are you gonna ask yourself, you know, how much does this thing weigh? or you just gonna say, wow, i'm in deep trouble. and i, i really need help. you think that's what the would be doing, but know instead what they're doing is they're looking around with a truck on them and they're saying it is my girlfriend's whiskey. see this is um, is he really impressed with this? and meanwhile, he's just saying, um, do you have a wallet somewhere in that mess did a review of that's 3 all the of the situation here in france, lake to oregon said,

all of europe is suffering from the sanctions on russia. what kind of reaction do you expect of that warning from oregon? i think it actually suits them just fine that victoria bind is very frustrated with the situation and hungry. gives them a lot more power. the fact that there's no gas or their risk being no gas coming into hungry if something happens to that church stream pipeline, which is really the last slide, left for hungry at this point. means that he's going to be even more dependent on their program, which is they control the money they control what get stalled out from the big slash quite a bit. all of the tax payers and other countries donate to. and also they can say, well, now's the time for you to make that green transition. and again, that's something that really allows them to turn the screws on the european citizens. and the governments as well. uh, richard victor, oregon is also urging his e u colleagues to pressure ukraine to reopen the gas and trends that route. so i want to play

a clip of the oregon had to say 1st and i'll ask for your comments afterwards. and now the ukrainians, they messed with the hung gary ends even on the energy side. because they weren't like gas come from russia to hungry. it wouldn't be good for us to pay on $1.00 hand over to help ukraine facing fee to know, make consequences from sanctions while they are messing with us. this is not going to work and i told my european colleagues to be strong, should you let them understand this and see we ask that they tell the ukrainians that they will restore the gas root and please open it again. this is nothing ukraine matter. if it's a question for you or i think central europe under the ukrainians was held, for example, to sanction the russians. then here we go again, opened the gas pipeline and please allow the central european countries including hungry, new we to import the gas. we need 3 cranes and all kinds of semi legal and legal military equipment should not be used to attack the route which is currently carrying gas. because in the meantime, attacks or targeting the russian volta pointing from which gas arrives in hungry

from the south, which stopped this belt was frushell. this originally explained, that's why haven't western allies been able to convince ukraine to take action to help out as partners. you have to wonder that is a really interesting question. and the question that automatically pops into my mind is, who is you trained actually taking orders from? is it coming out with it this all into itself? because if that was the case, you think it would be pretty easy for the european union to say, hey, look, you know, we'd love to help you and your situation and we support you and all this. but we have to put her oxygen mask on 1st or we're going to crash and you with us. so again, you have to wonder who is pulling the strings here and always when you have to ask who, who benefits? i think it's a pretty obvious candidate that pops up, given that the european union has become extremely over dependent on the united states for energy,

particularly at this point. so why ukraine isn't listening or being reactive or responsive to the use please to is not fresh. this whole adventure, this joint venture. again, you'll have to wonder who's, who's whispering in his ear behind the scenes at this point. rachel marston? there are no. i mean the wreckage in war torn gallons and people are beginning to clear debris and hope the ongoing cease fire will allow them to finally rebuild their lives. a big undertaking. galvan police, by the way, who are kept off the streets of young, save for 15 months by the idea for not returning with security forces. also patrolling roads and guarding a con voice. they say they are committed to ensuring people safety and preventing looting. most of all the mining teams have also started their work, so that's the displace palestinians can return to their homes. since the agreement to end the war of genocide against the people was signed,

we have instructed police officers in various parts of garza to take to the streets and provide comprehensive services to old people because they deserve a decent life. we have also designated them to be in public and private places for the protection of people's property. while the spread of security forces is evident in various key areas in strange to ensure the return of displaced persons survival in building a future. this is part of our responsibility to the citizens who sacrificed themselves and supported resistance, paying a high price for this bloody war. so we must provide them comfort and protection. i control the situation in the field and maintain order to prevent any outbreaks or by lessons that will speaking to ard, see the head of the palestinian ministry overseeing prisoners. the 1st claimed israel was doing all it code to delay the progress of the current. the ongoing fraud job will cease. fire is the israel has clearly tried to create conditions for

the negotiations to fail or the rail. it has actively sought to blame the palestinians for this failure and to justify its crimes of genocide. israel has resorted to blackmail in the case of prisoners, although this was only the 1st stage of the exchange. the other prisoners will eventually be discussed in the coming negotiations. however, it has tried to slow down the resolution of some issues. israel has the means and resources and will try to repeat the atrocities again and again to reject the symbols of the palestinian national struggle. if it were not for the serious pressure on israel from the international community and regional states, the cease fire in gaza would not have been agreed upon. israel, as you know, has been inventing excuses since may 2024, to delay the tox. what with a gas a cease fire? no, i being in force. the adf is able to focus attention on another palestinian surgery

. the westbank, the idea of offensive targeting, janine refugee camp is not into it's for the day with scenes of homes and infrastructure being demolished. reports of raids, interests are not coming from several locations and data across the west by people in janine describes a life under seat and none of the automobile we have been under siege for 4 days. we cannot move, we have children, and we are unable to provide them with food. the situation is very difficult. palestinians want peace and if is really truly wanted peace, we would have achieved it by now. and how long it has been 70 years of bloodshed between us and that we simply want to live in our homeland with dignity and freedom . now nothing more, nothing less little of the all night long there was showing and bonding. our homes are full of scared children. we were terrified beyond belief. they are doing to us exactly the same thing they did in gaza with displacement, exile and threats to blow up the camp. the plumbing in bed,

well fried israel's so called anti terrorist operation, their ideas, bulldozers helping, film destroying westbank infrastructure and painting medical workers movements. israel is also set to bottom, the u. n's relief and works agency which many palestinian refugees depend on. the band follows accusations that the agencies members are affiliated are a number of them, at least with on us, on the policy ending this lumnick g. hi, grouping. i mean the least corresponding brief notion of met with on read chief and ask them how the work has been effected. and we're now at ballasa soliciting in refugee camp in the, in nablus in the northern parts. although supplied westbank, it's relatively small, less than one square kilometer, but it's home to more than $30000.00 people is the biggest cab. and these people have been living relying on it was held for decades for generations. and this is where we meet state agencies, director for westbank affairs and the director of communications. hi,

is this maria? nice to meet you were like no or how is that the tech finder? yeah, that's tough to ireland. how is the dirt is expected at the tech point? the reason very busy. one hour, 3 hours for you on your end car, this does it make it easier for you to go through check one normally these days and those special missions for that in a matter of days, the agency could be forced to ended separation only in the west bank where we are now. button gas is what will happen when the deadline comes. do you have any clear message from these readings? first of all, i wish i knew what wouldn't happen because i don't know and no one knows what really happened on the morning of the 30th of 5 of january. our commitment is to

stay in the mayfair and whether here in the occupied westbank or in golf, don't we stay and deliver until we come up. the visas of all the international staff working for a while my whole team. more than 20 international staff members and the families, the visas only valid until next wednesday. so if there is indeed fully implementation, that would mean that very likely our international team would not be able to oversee and manage your operations here. just a the last thing it might turn into another time was bank has been doing for quite a while. it's been a more on there. the radar isn't before the 7th of october attacks underwear and garza started so there is always. busy fear fancy is going to continue to get worse

and worse. what comes of us most to ask and right is the impacts. that's all of this as on civilians. in practice, all of this house on women and children, the impacts of this time house on, on, on services. so something our schools as, as wanting something in the morning that with um, instability, violence operations. um, the more the children cannot go to school, we have 50000 children who go to another school. that's just one example. you made an situation, janine is extremely difficult. journey in the city, the reference she kept there were reserved for almost 20000 people. have been exposed to numerous is really the security for the operations most recently to kind of sit in operations that have last to too high you minute, 10 costs, lot of suffering. one of the people was always meant to be temporary that for and we provide our services because there is no political solution to the conflict, or indeed, no visible pathway, as we speak to each are political settlements. that within allow went about to

transfer services to a kind of suicide or another kind of send an entity. and we need to have that political pathway for we don't want to be able to then based on an agreement handle that services. following the vote, which by these really paula means to outflow it's operations on there was may soon seize it's 75 years of service in the west bank and gaza. if the band is an acted, hundreds of thousands will fail. the immediate impact and the future like that till the agency itself remains on are ready for the ocean all to you are reporting from ballasa, a palestinian refugee camp in the west bank right to africa. and so done where the country's army have blane, the part of military rapids support forces of deliberately setting fire to the nation's largest or the refinery. just north of the council. in continuation of its criminal and hateful behavior towards the country and its people and often forced

these types in the news on old come back from the terrorist melisha deliberately set fire to the costume refinery in al jelly in a desperate attempt to destroy the infrastructures of this country of the despairing of achieving its illusions of seizing its result, stays on land. well, they are a sap itself sit in these army for the same, saying it's targeted. the facility with borrow bombs during firefights image is circulating on social media show a mazda of black cloud hovering over neighboring towns. residents appear the health implications of the place with medical authorities urging the public to wear mosques. we'll sit down as largest or refinery has been under the control of the rapids support for assistance. war broke out in 2023. the certainly is government is a partial loaner of the sites with the china national petroleum corporation controlling the other half to political specialist. nelson wong, though stays chinese companies, should pay more attention to the political risk when it comes to overseas

investment. as a single case, i don't think this is going to have a significant impact on the china is oil supply because he is china does in board and buy oils from, from different countries. but and so tom is one of the souls, but this is not the only source that china is relying all this the point i'm trying to make is that it's small that this particular volume, all your refund, the rate is going to be uh, anything that happens to this all your re father is going to seriously damage. john is supply souls. it's, it's, it's more of, you know, the situation. how you can control security issues like this, full this government. and also for chinese companies. actually, i think it's a, it's

a matter of how to pay more attention to political risks when it comes to investments overseas. so this is not the only lesson and there are many lessons. and i think chinese companies where have to pay more attention to that. now popular method of shipping, done to pay today is accusing someone or group of being for russian that covers a whole multitude of criticism that is, according to the president of trends and extreme speaking exclusively to archie the phone interview for me to try to head the

the, [000:00:00;00] the
