the, the breaking news moscow accuses a key of, of a fault flag attack on the turntable nuclear facility only a day after president fulton, and trump agreed to work toward ending the ukraine conflict. having a meeting in munich pressure is going to be there with our people. ukraine is also invited by the way, donald trump claims to have organized a try lateral talks on your brain in munich. but russia says that hasn't been invited to the security conference there. and european officials are on edge as relations with washington, our over trumps commitment to ending the war that brussels is fueling the

you're watching archie international live in moscow. i'm rachel ruble. we start with breaking news. moscow says key a is attempting to frame russia for a ukrainian jerome strike on turnover. this comes just one day after the russian and american presidents agreed to seek a peace deal on ukraine. the international atomic energy agency confirmed a blast at the defunct nuclear side. overnight the kremlin has called the attack a publication. most of which teacher, there is no way that any nuclear infrastructure could have been struck. so any claims that this was the case or not true, the russian military do not do this. we just in this is most likely just another propagation, another fudging this is exactly what the keepers him sometimes does not shy away from doing. all right, joining me live to discuss this further as r t correspondence from one customer of everyone. what more can you tell us about

the situation so far? well, it seems that so the key of regime is so desperate for any type of attention and view of the recent contacts between moscow in washington. and it's ready for absolutely anything, even nuclear terror. that's, that could result in a major catastrophe, not only for russia, ukraine, and other neighboring countries, but for the nations of the european union as well. and then the parents, the attempts to disrupt any peace negotiations as an s t seems to be going all in by attacking the sarcophagus on the journal nuclear power plants. and of course, the so called officials of the cube, or she were quick to blame a rush, shuffle that attack by the way, just day before this attack on the sure nobles it asked you spoke to the media, had the committee needs key and you tear power plants and, well, it's hard to describe his words as anything, but fear mongering. has he promised this in that sold to the american soldiers

against russia? take, i listen to this, would you give us any bilateral talks about ukraine? i'm not talking about other topics, any bilateral talks about ukraine without us. we will not accept it. as i said yesterday, when we talked with the minister for me and i told him that, you know, what are your american brigades, which are they nato troops? they are located in europe, and if there is the invasion, it will be fast. so your military will fight. i told him that they have to save the lives of the people, because there are around, i don't know. there are 100000 americans in europe. they're going to fight, and not everyone will survive the meanwhile, the head of the international atomic energy agency, uh, rafael grossi, uh said that, and uh, let me quote, she said that the incident, that your noble and the recent increase in the military activity around the,

the for all she needs their power plant, underlined, persistent needs are safe to risk and that there is no room for complacency. as they have stomach energy agency remains of very high alerts. now they increase in the military activity that draco rossi spoke about probably refers to the fact that i a monitors stations at the supper origin, nuclear power plants had been trying to road states very team since the beginning of february. and the license attempt resulted in the disruption of that rotation as ukraine attacked, the military convoy by carrying international monitors on the i a. now the disruption of the rotation of the experts occurred solely due to the deliberate actions of the ukrainian side. if, according to the russian defense ministry has, they added that russia has entirely fulfilled all of its obligations to ensure security and established a social regime of ministry. silence in the area of the rotation,

all the experts at the same time, the minutes. and so the key of, or she made yet another attempt to attack the nuclear power plants using drones. and one of them crash just 300 meters away from the 1st 2 units solving nuclear power plants and stuff are all you have. meanwhile, the international atomic energy experts have returned to the separate rogia nuclear power plants as well at the moment to continue the monitor emission waiting for another rotation. if it happens r t is ramana customer per month. thank you. alright, let's discuss this now live with the 1st deputy chair of russia's federation council committee on defense and security body mirror cheese off mister cheese. i've good to have you on the program with us. the black mares zalinski has accused russia of attacking the term level nuclear plan to this preventative claim comes just 2 days after the russian and us presidents spoke for the 1st time since trumps

in i'll get ration with the the side says set on beginning a peace negotiations, what do you make of this? well, i'm afraid sampling the so do you do the mental state of, of the lead to of lee to you now on that series him should have been expected or have been expected. at least. i believe that in reading story is like this. hopefully in this particular case, nobody was injured. but the overall, it's a major probation wage is an additional element of escalation, deliberate, this belief not of the situation the you agree? so there is no other plausible explanation where the under russian, a senior diplomat task by the russian foreign ministry with documenting alleged

ukrainian atrocities, is reporting a spike in t of drone attacks on russia. the following up is phone call with it's from do you think this is even further escalation, this increased intensity of during the tax or indeed there have been the numbers going up and down every 24 hours on the number of the drum. and thanks to get different rest and regions not only to the media regions within the zone of facilities, but also a more far away places, including regions where it's far from you. great. uh, and there have been sick nights when there was a dozen uh, side drones or uh uh, in one case it was their number was over a 100. well, last night it was, it would,

you know, so now this is again, a sign of frustration over the key frame, being left out from the focus of international events. following from a phone call with the russian president, we heard a trump echoing, but put it has been insane for basically 25 years about nato and ukraine being a red line. as far as nato expansion is quite a dramatic, you turn from biden's approach to the ukraine conflict, which has caught washington's european allies off guard wire. we've seen this change in town from, from america. it actually is, this is the dentist not only from uh, drill biden's position, but also that the keys bring the services. uh, i vividly remember what happened back in 2008

uh at the nato summit in, bu, good as the remaining and capital where there was, uh, i would say very strong with them by then us administration. um, and it was uh, president obama in charge in those days. uh that uh a membership plan uh for your brain and you are to be approved and handed over to those 2 countries. um major p and countries, particularly german and products they play the oh, i would say uh a roll um, uh, and the limit the uh those efforts and the, uh,

the outcome was that the vital community said uh that ukraine in georgia will be terminated. the members without mentioning any conditions without mentioning any time. uh so that's how things stood then and ever since they were quite recently with advent though. um not the drum. uh for a 2nd. uh, this position was uh, i would say key element of the overall escalation uh, around new brakes and those, uh, uh, uh, major multi buyer of a foreign policy. you need the member states of course, every native country uh follow that soon. a line within the

frame within the framework over this general position. uh some uh, were more active by those not, but not. uh oh, that was the situation and deal. uh, president. trump mentioned that uh, this prospect though, are you going to be coming here? need the member was an unrealistic go uh and i would say from the rest of the point of view its souls to a go uh, which is a totally unacceptable spokesperson. dimitri pest. gov says the kremlin and white house already preparing for future talks between vladimir putin and donald trump. and trump says, uh the, the initial um, in person talks will take place in saudi arabia. do you have any more information on that? have the top spin scheduled,

and how are these kinds of contexts carried out which agencies are involved in this process? well, i can only tell you one thing, such complex r o was handled in a confidential manner. so i don't see a reason trying to find out whether it is so they read me or not, or where it, whether it is this month next month, the one after that. uh so uh, the less uh publicity around those uh, uh, working uh, complex between the countries, the better. all right, fair enough. donald trump, that has, uh, as we've all know, made is view of how the war started quite clear. same jo biden's statement that ukraine could become a nato member, was the trigger? what effect do you think this admission could have on current realities as well as these future negotiations?

well let me remind you of the events that unfold it at the very end of 2020. well january 2020 the rest of the uh launched. unload them with that then. um i have uh 3 vanity uh escalation in the round new brain. uh, even that the, of the famous owing to most of the, depending on your point of view, minutes, uh, negotiations failed. so right, sir. uh, so i'm the, to doing this. if there was one name, then the united states, the other nato, in order to provide getting these u a, b, and security. and for all a c member states, which was nothing i would say elusive. never because all those elements had been included in documents adopted. a b,

o is see by heads of state of government though. um 50 plus countries of us see a new scramble in 1999 and then reconfirm the last on uh uh now cuz uh in 2010 and they namely say yes, every guntee has the right to choose its own uh fed them of security. however, uh no country should seek uh, through uh, increase uh the level of security get the expense of others and no organization or group of countries now who have them in a position in the area of europe be in your atlantic security. those are

basic elements. so where rush, i propose this one, ready to propose in the actions that we got were the negative from uh, the side of the united states and uh and neighbors. well, uh, as that was, as there's already said, an ultimate effort to prevent further that ation of the situation had they been adopted or accepted, then things might not have come to the uh to the launch of the special minutes ago. but i mr. chase of natal has been fading ukraine with

accession promises for 2 decades now. but following trump's latest announcement announcement, we heard from the natal chief margaret to walking back. that pledge it's quite the flip flop. what do you make of that? well, i believe it's a show of common sense as from him. so good going say the sense dictates that as a grade can all them should not a thing go with the sales of ever becoming a member of need. so that's a position. there is a groups of boys in the rest and the broad still be great. and looking ahead, there are reports that european officials are concerned that they will have to pay for ukraine's reconstruction. once this conflict is over and, and there's a peace deal. do you think that's a realistic scenario or who might else get stuck with the bill of reconstruction

and ukraine as well? i believe it will definitely be fair because you're being guntee. those who have been supporting the gate of regime for quite some time, even before the launch of the special manager of the ration, they share the responsibility for what as well, what has happened so they should not expect that uh, the, the uh the support in your brain, in their words, as long as it dates uh, sending a weapons, providing the system so they gave review. and then when there was a peace deal. uh they would just a blow the or a rumble depending on their privilege. uh, and there are no way, no,

they are responsible for a uh, a large degree of the damage of their brain and the peoples of it. mr. trump also voice hopes that the us russia and china will agree to cut military spending. but at the same time, he's urged in europe to ramp up its own budget. so it's a bit of a mixed message. why should europe ramp up? it's military spending? well, russia and china full, there's back is indeed what it is. well, you know, therefore they gaze uh, we were monique, during the military situation across europe. and uh, we um, work towards um, lowering the degree of, uh, military uh,

military forces opposing each other across here. and that was positive, for example, in not send you a box of outcomes and then we'd be game, i would say a window for everybody showing that a low are much lower than oh, you repeat a level much lower levels of military presence in loveland. europe would be positive elements. so the situation and actually an example for uh, other countries to follow. well, today unfortunately, 2 countries have enough and you choose to switch from being around say a very i respect the neutral countries. a bunch of kids above their weight

in international politics, i would admit to becoming a native bank the, i mean finland is sweet and uh this is where it says lead the rest of the data system decisions to increase its own military potential in that part of you, which is not helpful, but it's inevitable. so overall, uh, if uh, united states rest of age and i agree in a certain set of measures decreasing their military potential ways to think about that adventures. do like, do the nuclear bowers situated in europe, that is the united kingdom and for us and their new potential cannot

be, you know, in the view of covering new grounds. me to further point the about nato expansion. nato does have a long history of breaking its promises to russia with the failed minsk agreements and further damaging moscow's trust in its western partners. so how is this likely to influence any talks held over the ukraine conflict? it was uh going into negotiations which i hope uh will happen um in um in the closest possible timeframe then. um, we would uh certainly keep in mind not only us statements made uh during the last uh say, days, weeks and months, but also the big around. uh, oh uh different uh,

negotiating rooms in various formats. uh, which took place. uh, in the uh, last years and they said because uh, history is not uh does not consider. oh certain. uh, i would say actually the chapters it is. uh, a certain gross is a certain, uh oh, certain city uh, extending uh from the boss into the future. and this year, when we model the agents in adversity, oh, big city uh, in against nancy, germany, the and the band name, the 2nd world war. we certainly not only remember the fees, talk about grandfathers, great grandfathers,

but also remember the lessons learned after that. and we vividly remembered who were our allies during those days and what's happened. all right, we're gonna leave it there for 70 chair of rush this federation council committee on defense and that security vladimir choose off. thank you. thank you. as for moscow denies having been invited to the munich security conference, which has just kicked off in germany foreign ministry spokesman. re, as a harv, i pointed out that russia has essentially been blacklisted from the event since 2022. but i cease gear. russian officials are not invited to the munich security conference. this decision was made several years ago. it's a politicized decision. it's a strange decision. accordingly, there will be no representatives from the foreign affairs ministry, as well as other official russian structures and bodies. i can tell you that for

sure, i'll repeat it again and remind you since the start of the special military operation, russia has not received an invitation to this event. knew of the russian spokeswoman was responding to the us presidents claim of a plan to try lateral discussion in munich. they're having a meeting in munich, and tomorrow russia is going to be there with our people. ukraine is also invited, by the way, i'm not sure exactly who is going to be there from any country, but high level people from russia, from ukraine and from the united states. things to do seem to be quite serious. and that i have to say that the pace at which these events are unfolding, it's just remarkable. just on wednesday, the 2 presidents spoke and it seems that now we're looking at higher level meetings, which are rapidly being prepared. and this has also been confirmed by the kremlin, you already know, they talked and agreed that even the most difficult problems should be solved

through peaceful negotiations. in this case, president putin agreed with this thesis of president trump put in and has repeatedly said that we are ready to enter into such a peaceful negotiations and achieve our goals. specifically through peaceful negotiations. this has been confirmed through political and diplomatic means. and in fact, this is how the heads of state expressed their political will towards this process . this is a very important achievement of this conversation, which continued in the form of the instructions given by the presidents after their talks, which has already set in motion the machine of assistance departments, etc. cool, now gradually enter into a dialogue and prepare for further contacts. both at the working and at the highest level, it feels almost overwhelming that's being developed, but it's moving along so rapidly. and so many announcements coming from a trumpet as well. just to talk us through the key points coming from washington.

donald trump made quite an important point. he says that he will not allow ukraine to become a member of nato. and he says that he understands that that is a red line for moscow. and he also says that if joe biden would have understood the same thing, then the whole complex could have been prevented. i don't see any way that a country in russia's because sion cut allows them just in their possession, could allow them to join their. i don't see that happening and low before president button. russia was very strong and the fact that i believe that's the reason the worst started because by the went out and said that they could join nato. and he should have said that as soon as he said that i sent you know what, you're going to have a war. and now when i was right about that, this is a war that would have never happened to the wordpress vladimir food. and also said before that he things, if donald trump would've won that election back in 2020, then most likely of the conflict would've never started in the 1st place is oh really? okay. very positive, isn't it? but heads a spinning?

no, it shows do you know, i think the people in europe as well. so just a global events. do we have to look forward to with the trump in the white house, which is now it seems that trump has quite a lot of ideas and thoughts. i mean, he's been making executive order since day one, focusing not only on domestic and regional issues and not even on ukraine, but it really seems that from is thinking on a much wider scale happen when things straightened out, which i hope will be in the not too distant future, the meeting i want to have 1st is a meeting with china and a meeting with russia on slowing down, stopping and reducing nuclear weapons in particular. and also on not having to spend that kind of money. we're all spending on weapons, military weapons, generally remarkable statements. and just imagine that for us or the united states and china would have agreed on something like that, that it would been just global. i mean, that would have had

a massive effect on the entire world, perhaps comparable to the alto conference which laid the foundation for the current global security structure. the question is, would they have enough political will and perhaps most importantly, mutual trust to do so. all right, for more on the stores are coming here on our to international. do visit our website r t dot com bye for now. the take a fresh look around it. life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by tell us to do vision with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images present?
