the, the, the, i cannot put agree with trump, that if he's been elected president, if he's victory and not been stolen from him in 202010, perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine to the rose back in 2022 of them are present reiterates that most goes never refuse communication with washington, saying it was a bite and that ministration kept the door firmly closed. now it says the russian leader says he hopes for pragmatic relations with the oval offices, new incumbent, the russian army, swift advance on are you pretty and strong mold and southern don't box splits, keeps forces into with the law. they're leaving many of its soldiers behind thousands protest in slovakia against the countries government and that size and major cyber attack takes place on the health care system which the prime minister

planes on foreign powers males. so coming up in the damage cod only 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 gary and 4 and the hunger in pm lay aside what the use on t rush of sanctions is costing budapest doubting that every member state is losing process. figures show despite sanctions, russian golf exports to europe have only grown since the start of the year, the across the world around the clock. this is our to you. hello and welcome to then use our. i mean, some of them are put in her said if the 2020 us election happen being quote stolen from donald trump. the conflict and 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 for us being, i would say, i cannot but agree with from that if he's been elected president, if his victory had not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine that a rose back in 2022, a lot of our opponent began by reiterating something he said, time and time again since the beginning of russia's military operation in ukraine and dunbar fed. russia is ready to sit down half a negotiating table and come to some sort of peace agreement. but the russian president also said that ukraine stance on fox is presenting a major problem because key of has actually banned any sort of negotiations with moscow. and until it's western sponsors for us, the wednesday, the width at van, it's going to be impossible to come to any sort of legitimate agreement just to

shoot glow at usually with the current head of the regime in see if, when he was still a fairly legitimate head of state issued a decree, binding negotiation stuff, how kind of negotiations be resumed. now, if that band, if negotiations begin within the current regulatory framework, they will be strictly speaking a legitimate. and this means that the results of these negotiations can also be declared illegitimate. with the current regime in kia, of, excuse, the simplicity of expression is happily going up hundreds of millions of dollars. but it is a no hurry to follow the instructions and responses. and 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 stopped data and most importantly, finished properly put and also said that trans 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, food is said that he had a, 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. some you are steven. 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 puss and he's at pragmatic password reset for most likely it's really best for us to meet based on the realities of to dates for com, the own. all those areas that are of interest to both the united states and russia and right, we already, that's good. that's also important. understand that donald trump says he's going to reach out to all packed 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 moscow is just waiting for the signals from the us. so the ball is really on the west port right now. so right, 2 developments in the ukraine conflict us russian forces advance in the heart coverage in a ukrainian torture route and has a legit leaping on covered a warning and may find some or a lot of the following images disturbing. this fun page was taken by a russian army unit. i'm a said to show you premium soldiers for today. the russian troops say the victims bought things up here to show traces off torture and not the men couldn't escape because they were shackled in chains. no official comment on the investigation has been issued, but those who saw the same claim the soldiers may have refused to be attack orders

. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has released best video showing the destruction of a brenda tank supplied by the us. one of the vehicles was hit directly by a high precision, lots that drone in the cursed region. and the russian and moody also say some offensive on a t settlement in that done yet. squared public has split ukrainian troops into 2 groups with more and how it was down on the significance of it. here's ortiz equals you them. essentially 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 circled 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 only 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 this situation alive is a 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 groups, how many ukrainian soldiers, uh, well made. i have to say the right decision and saved their lives, but according to ukrainian speakers and ukraine and ex military members of the law says that the ukrainian army is sustaining. and if any kind of a soul could actually kolosso desire to show them that we 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 can also on the one hand are not enough pontoons. and on the other hand, everything is on to find the situation is developed and now is critical. 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. that 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 loss almost as in the 2nd and 3rd rifle battalions. even the brigade no longer has information about those missing an action. when offices and soldiers tell me this, i understand that this has already become a system. yes, there were no people that because this everyone from recognizance decodes from chemical and biological protection troops to drive as the throwing it into the infant 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 ukrainian town. 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 or post, fully mobilize those who have reached the age of 25 years old. here's what he had to say. we're, we're 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 deferment or were discharged after the mobilization law passed. now he had specifically abstained from using the word mobilization in his speech, but again, it is unclear what are 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 uh, there's a solution that has been floated by one of the ukrainian john. this who is said to be close to ukraine's ruling leads, who has openly and downright suggested that the value of human life in ukraine should be even lower. or yep, i sure showing us fitness 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 retinue. they are trying to, well, to literally fights for they are literally fighting for the best negotiating position the that they can guess they are fighting for leverage so far. they all

failing on the russian sanctions have rick topic across europe with hungry alone, taking a 19000000000 euro head that's coming from the countries prime minister, who warned his e colleagues that it is time to reconsider such policies against moscow. those animals. how to me, if we look at the numbers from the past 3 years, we will see that hungry has lost money. $19000000000.00 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 hung. gary and treasury can the fees 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 a clinical so it is not acceptable for hungry to pass. such costs shall surely others are losing as well. that's the problem you don't mind for. it's not the hung gary in the states with no bound gary and governments,

but there's at least as much as well talking on the big figures, storing energy prices have taking center stage with an e u and u. k. spending some 750000000000 euro to subsidize prices over the past 4 years. germany, the e use biggest economy. so energy enrolled material prices skyrocket by 80 percent last year or not. if the trend continues, the bender stag predicts the country will lose. for a quarter of a trillion euro by the end of the decade. despite the looming economic hardship, a majority of european leaders continue to sup port bonds on russian imports, but their words appear to contradict their actions. according to media reports, there's actually been a growth in russian, l, n g in ports with the e. you buying more of last who was gas in the 1st 15 days of this year compared to the same period in 2024. it's old lead to european politicians, taking

a fresh look at the functions. assumptive 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 sanctions. 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. this is plainly a fall, so it in the western world, all business and politics are waiting to return to business as usual with russia. i think i've seen many european economies are feeling blow back in their desire to hurt russian or to contribute original. morrison broke, done one case in point earlier with my colleague richard as well. i mean, i could ramble off a whole lot of specifics. 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 going to 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 lives. can you see this is um, is he really impressed with this? and meanwhile, who's just saying, um, do you have a wallet somewhere in that mess? review of that's 3 out of 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 to that warning from oregon? i think it actually suits them just fine that victoria bomb 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 sold 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. richard victor, oregon is also urging his e 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 and even on the energy side because they weren't like gas come from russia to hungry. but it wouldn't be good for us to pay on one

hand over to help ukraine facing economic consequences from sanctions while they are messing with us. this is not going to work. 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. and this is nothing ukraine meant to if it's a question for you or i think central europe and if the ukrainians withheld, 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, at tanks of targeting, the russian volta pointing from which gas arrives and hungry from the south would stop this bet. we'll frushell this. all right, to explain this, 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 in, in my mind is, who is ukraine 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 i 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 crash. this whole adventure, this joint venture. again, you have to wonder who's,

who's whispering in his ear behind the scenes at this point. the fuckers have tried to knock. slovakia is health care systems offline and the country's prime minister stays foreign. actors are to blame. a sophisticated for week is just don't that there is another major cyber attacks going on right now. and this time targeting the national health insurance company. i will mention it as part of a textbook example of how unruly governments are eliminated. governments that have a different opinion on some issues that have no problem telling the ukrainian president that we will not be blackmailed by him. and we are ready to take counter measures of it to you know, this textbook example in slovakia was certainly not invented by the people who are protesting and whom we respect. but this textbook example in model in slovakia, people is being implemented by representatives of the slow back opposition sort of n g o's financed from abroad. a significant part of the slow back anti government's

media. and of course, trainers from abroad who are on the territory of the slow back republicans out to use that much in what comes on the back of mass protests in the concrete demonstrators claim, the prime minister is acting in moscow's interest when it comes to the ukraine conflict that was rallying or demanding his resignation and want an immediate boost and military and financial support to see if mister feet so alleges the demonstrators are being fueled by foreign powers. who he says previously orchestrated the mike. don cruz in ukraine in 2014 um the recent on resting in georgia. the still vac leader. he welcomes peaceful protests. but father responsive violence breaks. i mean another european nation romania, huge crowds made their feelings clear about the recently cancelled presidential election. the 1st round was won by independent candidates shopping for jessica.

however, the constitutional court a know the vote, claiming russian interference. the european court of human rights since rejected an appeal by the winner. mister jessica, who has called on people to take to the streets and a show of national unity. well, let's go live now to bucharest on speak to the presidential candidate for the patriots party. all the romanian people respond constant and ask you you're most welcome sir. thank you for your time at today. we're not seeing thousands of people on the streets of your country protesting the cancellation of the election. what's best to be expected? uh yes, it was expected. um, in fact, it was the 1st time that the rally in bucharest took place following the call of clean drug test today. uh for romania, the date of january 24 has

a special he story close even if he comes because after all or most city center is see is the union made by me. hi the route. the break in uh 1600. more adult. uh and by last yeah, head starting from for february, from january 24, 18 to see the 59 again. a single lead the ruler arctic sound of the one whose uh uh they work together again followed by the great union in 1918 when one of our last yeah. in pennsylvania. uh cuz it being the great rumania. therefore, the immunization made by calling georgia was by invitation to the celebration marked by the whole r, we'd use the romanian for dance that signifies union because we want to know

the, you need the means train the where there was very nice to day in bucharest, about the above the 12 degrees, i think we just surprising for this moment of the year to year in wrote me in fact the really turned into a pro this the more than 10000. but these 2 things also stimulated by the presence of good in georgia school to gather with his wife in the use by began to chant joy just to present them. and we want, we want the 2nd round back. should be noted that the main gathering place for the product, this name lee victories were, was already occupied by a so called pro test of a syndicate of military personnel. led by a guy, a guy called me

a job. they'll go with the mans floor fashions and the salaries. so the city hall was not able to allow, could enjoy just with doors in either 50 or a. this is extremely interesting how someone can, besides twice an agent, the make government for salary increases exactly on a day of celebration, very important day for our country. but of course, the ways of the lord are unknown. okay. they really started at 1 pm and it lasted for 2 hours. during almost entire duration. a flock of white birds couldn't deal so kind the sky above the use bar could enjoy just gave was speech. but we could only be heard

in the 1st few lines. yeah, it's, it's 3 pm. he left for the tom of the and no one the soldier in care of bar. and the other part, the struggles of white legs apparently followed him. their sides rallies were organized today all over the country. so we would say that our celebration date to date was very, very interesting for the whole because when we last spoke, am as oscar that interview with wait, we got reaction from other people who are the side room, many who who don't necessarily have the same politics as mr. george asked for you, but they have pointed out that in any election, whoever loses has to accept. that's the way democracy works in, in this case,

are there people within romania who didn't support at mr. george ask who, who, who feel that the vote is being dealt with the wrong way? not necessarily only his supporters. yes. uh for sure. is the 1st time in the history. i think in the words history that on election process is stopped by queuing. it's um, uh, fox chris, so being in the, the me though it's uh, it's process really. yes. yeah. so of course many of the people who didn't vote just who are now curious and um i, seeing he's of use fans are a lot more then before that. so all the people here are

afraid that could enjoy just will be stop. not participate in the following. so you don't know when the following the voting for assess if the election is held again. you say his, his support has gone up, but brussels is hoping that he would lose. how would you think the outcome would be if the election or the 2nd wrong and happens? and also there was, uh, government uh, decision to change the electoral rules. but for example, me as a citizen, i can not say in the social media what candidate i would like to vote what candidate i would like. this is against any,

any rules over and you like to recess. i've seen a, she's the percentage of raise to from, for example, piece do or 55 to much more probably she will we in with 70 percentage in the 1st around on the only condition for him to let to let him start this that extra. so let's can can do that. that's. that's quite to, that's quite a rise in support isn't that. we also saw it just before we started talking sir, a protest occurring in slovakia. now they're being people holding signs. they're in support of ukraine at ukrainian flags being wave. why is the issue of the ukranian conflict? why is it proving so critical in the internal politics of some european countries?

because the ukrainian conflict ruling and european economies and all the peoples so that that was not of that or of a fair. um so i don't know what to say. so everyone in your study sees that this conflict has nothing to do with this country. and yes, and the special a little bit ration which was because at the beginning of this of this war is something between russia and ukraine that has nothing to do with the,

the european countries the sell. busy on russian danger, it doesn't exist at the sofa prime minister alluded to the fact of how much money is going to key of on that. they have the ability that if they wanted to, to, to fund some protests in other nations. are you afraid that that could be happening in romania? yes, of course. our prime minister said that's 3.5 of our in don't know the product is going to ukraine to support the grain of economy and made it very support. that is much too much. and i think starting from twins, these of generally, when drum was

a duke to piece position, i think the whole lot of effort for sustaining the grain is for the you, europe and countries. and i see who mania has to say stop, we don't want this thing just before we go, sir. do you think these protests are going to last for? for some time it is hard to say because we are expecting every day for the constitution of the court to correct that agreement of decision to stop the elections during their receiving. okay, so we await to see that. thank you so much for coming.
