the feeling is that a please come on, look at that and answer those videos. the breaking news and r t a one a. the turn from loving there is ellensby who's a he will meets with lot of miracle, who to not know all or russian for peace negotiations. despite the infinity and law forbidding pups with the russian president also. and what i worry about is the threat from within the retreat of europe, from some of its most fundamental values value shared with the united states of america. no men, single words by us, vice president judy found southgate and united security conference. so security and officials are directly chastised for targeting free speech and counseling elections for delegates of thought, major security for them. we're still digesting this way to lend the phone

conversation between the american and russian leaders leading european elite scrambling to be included in peace towards all new 3 year job and mission. the next 4 years cannot only change the relationship between the us and other countries. but also the relationship between countries. let's not be deer, caught in the headlights. with big developments this our m. 23 militants, reportedly, and for another major city in the mineral and rich piece of the democratic republic . i'll put the today in nashville midnight in colombo, online, at nights here in moscow. welcome to the r t international news. we begin with breaking news for the mirror, zalinski. how's the 9th he's preferred to meet with? a lot of them are potent, but in time, normally after he comes to an agreement with his main sponsors,

the statement came on the sidelines of the munich security conference, a deal with this decision. so i will only be seeing one russian, and that is putting the only i for you. i prepared a common plan with try to get this lieutenant or the only in this case room is under these conditions on this problem. there will be no other platforms with compromises in. so last spring and r t correspond to remind cost row for more than what's on folded today. romano law the mirror. zelinski initially. brad, but it anyone from negotiating with volume or putting directly? no. the president is the only russian hill speak to the problem is nothing against the law and you pray well, of the former acts are and that can easy and zalinski seems to be contradictory himself. every time he opens his mouth and all that depends on the current script in his hands and is really far from any kind of reality. as we all just heard, zalinski said that she will only speak with susan. yeah,

that same guy issued an entire decree early or making it illegal to speak or negotiate with the russian presidents all are paragraphs on that particular degree and very from approval of the texas of address to may so requirements for a multi level security system that based on multilateral and bilateral agreements, a strengthening of ukraine's defense capability by increasing the supply of military assistance and recommendations of the sanctions against russia, but not speaking to boots ingles. of course, number one and most publicized part of that degree have listened to it was our state that is always offered russia to agree to co exist on equal, honest, decent in fair terms. obviously this is impossible with this russian president. he doesn't know what dignity and honesty are. therefore, we are ready for dialogue with russia, but with another russian president as seen while moscow has always been opened to

talks with ukraine about a peaceful settlements that while considering all the realities on the ground after the start of this special military operation. at this point, however, zalinski is no longer of any interest to russia because, well, his presidential term ends its last year, the former act or observed tower and ukraine. and if he cancelled presidential elections in the country and to subsequently in the hands of democracy in ukraine was gone, let him or food to knows, that's the end. it's off. so with the lensky or at this point. absolutely. if you follow the thick of this and just keep you to go to most of us can, you can negotiate with anyone. but zalinski music, illegitimate. he has no right to sign anything this. but if he wants to take part in the negotiations, i will send people who will conduct these negotiations. the issue is the final signing of the documents. this is a very serious issue that should guarantee security for ukraine and russia with

a serious long term and historical perspective. and there can't be a single slip. everything should be polished to use the savings. but if there is a desire to negotiate and find compromise solutions, let anyone negotiate there. so naturally we will strive to achieve what suits us, which corresponds to our interests we use in terms of signing documents to go everything should be done in such a way that lawyers confirm to us legitimacy. if those people who be authorized by the training state to sign these agreements would rely on something else surrounding this. ukraine's future in the nato alliance, a rapidly fading prospect. if we're to listen to the remarks made by at the us and other officials in recent days, mr. zalinski seems to be the last that had to respond to that to. that's how well the uh, we will soon be a part of natal montrose has been the goal to well cared on the stick if you will, for the crating and people from zaleski and officials off his regime. now those

words were publicly echoed not only by major leadership leadership, but the bytes by biden's administration, as well. uh, we will be in need, so we will be a part of a european union. now such promises were fetched to view crazy and people on a daily basis. positive sky has now changed his tune. once again, if they can listen to my post them phone call with the president biden. and my 1st question, will we be made to the said no, no. and i said we will see be wary, honest. united states. they knew of us toll aust, nato. they just spoke about it on the level of a leader of the country and the level of president. never, i heard this, but it doesn't mean that we can't change this, but we really have drunk army, which can really make from getting natal everywhere. we don't have natal rios nato,

we will make nature in ukraine. house or donald trump scene took over the white house and made to leadership have also changed their tea and, and are acting like ukraine were never really promised anything. so you can listen to this exchange only 8 months ago. you had a somebody said washington dc is 32 allies, agreed, and i know you know these words, but i'll read them to you. we will continue to support ukraine on it's a reversible call to full euro atlantic integration, including native men, which does nato still stands by those words were in those as line. so it says that it to be part of a piece of, you know, there's never been before and not even in that portion. some of the statements that been a, b, c. what would be done on your brain that's in that piece or to be natal things. so

there's not many things that part of, of the ceiling should be made to. but it has never been promised to your brain. now it's hard to pinpoint what exactly needs so and ukraine will come up with next so far has been a story full of contradictions bordering on blayton lives and manipulation. meanwhile, zaleski continues to demand more money, more weapons, and even threatens american soldiers. with this on the battlefield against the russian army life from dunbar. star t correspondent ramon cost red b e u is undermining its own democratic values. that's the firing admission. us vice president ged pounds kicked off with us. the munich security conference was the new trump team in for brussels, that it means business when it comes to ending. the thing comes with of the threat

that i worry, the most about face of the europe is not russia. it's not china, it's not any other external actor. and what i worry about is the threat from within the retreat of europe, from some of its most fundamental values value shared with the united states of america. i was struck that of a former european commissioner went on television recently and sounded delighted that the romanian government had just an old and entire election. he warned that his things don't go to plan. the very same thing could happen in germany too. now these cavaliers statements are shocking to american ears may be valentine's day, but there is certainly no love in hearing mean to get the security conference and not says you heard that fiery speech in the us vice president j d function criticizing. we were in many respects saying that because it was reeling

back from its own fundamental values and basically saying that there is a new sheriff in town. that's donald trump and things are going to go a very different way to how they, you know, for 18 years. but the last full use, his speech was so critical that mendez viewed it significantly didn't know whether they should be from the close at the end. it was calling devon, or could moment and we've already been getting reaction from europe in need is who was with roy king as particularly against the things that we've been hearing from, from between instruction regarding ukraine and not speakers just in the last few days. donald trump saying that he spoke directly with vladimir putin of russia, and he said, was great country, we want to be friends with them. again. he then spoke to a lot to me for landscape and laid out how things are possibly going to, to imagine ukraine and not as not music. the ease of many people here in europe, including the gym and the president who says that you must not be paralyzed for the

slurry of the night since it's coming out from the other side of the atlantic. but i'm on the 2 ish the ladies and gentlemen, of course, in that case, we are not just talking about the growth of european proves also about the reduction of american troops or the modem. i talked about this with vice president advanced this morning, and i told him that whenever you were planning to discuss it with us, the next 4 years and not only change the relationship between the us and other countries. but also the relationship between all countries will the international community maybe take all of the damage? my answer is very simple, but i think it's right. that's up to us. we are subjects not objects of the international order, so we must not let the flood of announcements and paralyze us. we must not freeze out of fear or as they say in english, let's not be deer caught in the headlights for loans. well, he's not the only person who's unhappy just taken, listen to this, a hell of ukraine. we can europe. but it was also re,

comes the united states edwards intensify or challenges in the, in the pacific and threat to know shared interest. well, does one view what we've also seen resilience few writing here. we mean a key may have come cap in hand, but it looks like i had of his meeting with j div on cus, vice president things on going exactly how he wanted. know she has heard was from the screen saying the last 3 days, what we've heard from the us secretary of defense, pete, to have with assess saying that basically you create needs to look at the reality on the grounds. and essentially, there will be no going back to the board is free at 2014, and also the ukraine shouldn't be looking to be a member of nato in the future of the is the lensky rejecting all of that? looking incredibly, it's why edge, incredibly dejected at the press conference he gave a, well,

we also been hearing from the german chancellor all of shows. oh, so talking about the consumes. he has the by what's happening in ukraine and whether essentially america is going to try and, uh, and the patients directly with russia as it is basically pushing not just ukraine, but the europeans, the sidelines in may. what they see to the table. they say hi to him, listen, do we need a reform of the debt break in order to invest in our security and defense? secondly, the bonus tag should make a decision as soon as possible, according to which the war and ukraine and its serious consequences for the security of germany and europe are to be classified as an emergency. well, an important point to, because we had heard from donald trump that they, what was going to be a very high profile meeting here at the munich security conference between the usa, between russia and potentially ukraine. you know, ukraine said it was going to turn up at the table,

but it also seems that russia hasn't been invited. we've been hearing from the foreign ministry spokesperson, who says that brush hasn't been invited since 2022 because that was a political decision taking until the most is any top of going to start taking place at ease. terry. meaning, well, some pretty leading remarks were aimed at beijing in munich with the conferences sherman seemingly attempting to embarrass china for buying russian gas. let's take a look at the exchange with the chinese foreign minister up to date, and resar has become what john mccain. uh, once the site is here at the munich secuity conference, china gas station, i would add um, it's a gas station with, with an army. do you see a possibility now that there is more pressure and find me more pressure to finish this or that form from your end to go?

so let me show you around on board china and russia are 2 neighbors with a long border line based on our mutual trust. we have built a comprehensive strategic partnership there from so about china, ending gas purchases from russia. i'd like to ask this, if china does not buy gas from russia, one country will be able to provide them with so much gas when she has to meet the needs of chinese people. it's not possible to do, and it's not safe because you know, some countries has some tend to politicize economic and trade issues and treat them as a tool to suppress china all along. we have advocated that all disputes and disagreements should be settled through dialogue. however, if the us is not willing, if it is bent on suppressing and containing china, then we have no choice but to play along to the end july, we will resolutely uphold china sovereignty national dignity and our legitimate development rights. and we will resolutely respond to the unilateral bullying practices of the us funds or by after we're talking about the renewed attempts to

cancel russia with our take on to be to college out take a lesson is just stating the facts, china and brush i had a strategic partnership law for a long time now. and when president sees him came visited mos copied specifically said the relationship we can try to china and russia is a no limit strategic partnerships. and it's always, it's, it's ridiculous for europe to expect china to stop having our normal tre relationship was right. yes. i mean, if, if china did not buy gas from russia, where is europe going to get rushing gas? you know, as we all know, lot of the rushing gas is being sold to china. india gets re package and re sell it to europe, malware. but in a very interesting time, because trump has specifically said, do you want to wrap up the war in ukraine? and this has throw a lot of european leaders into a tailspin because they, they don't know what to do. now for 4 years,

they have followed the washington line on ukraine and in regards to their relationship to russia. and now trump is saying, you know what? it was a mistake, the green worries, the mistake we should make peace. and so i think it's still very hard for a lot of european leader to make that adjustment most school safety of is attempting to frame russia. fred roland strongly on the defense nuclear plant, inter noble, the concrete shelter that covers the pumps destroyed former 4th power unit was head, sparking a fire that was later extinguished. the incident occurred just the day after the russian and american presidents agreed to seek a peace deal all new framed. the international atomic energy agency confirmed up last up the former nuclear side overnight with the kremlin, claiming not key of stage the attack as a publication turnover was the sides of the 1986 disaster that spread radioactivity across parts of the soviet union. on your apartment. or in the rushes former and

buster to the lovely mirror she's off. say such an auction in his views demonstrates how desperately acquaintance i am afraid, samsung, the so do you do the mental state of, of the lead to lee 2 years from now on that syria, him should have been expected the been expected. that least i believe that in reading story is like this. probably in this particular case nobody was injured. but overall, it's a major probation. wage is an additional element of escalation, deliberate, this belief not of the situation that you agree. so there is no other blogs or blog explanation. are they on the russian senior diplomat task by the russian foreign ministry with documenting alleged ukrainian atrocities is reporting

a spike in key of drone attacks on russia. the following up to is phone call with it's from do you think this is even further escalation? this increased intensity of drone attacks? indeed, there have been numbers going up and down every 24 hours on the number of the drum and the next step in different regions. not only to the media regions within the zone of facilities, but also a more far away places and buildings. regions quite far from you. great. uh and there have been some nice when there was a dozen uh, side drones or uh uh, in one case it was the number was over a 100. well, last night it was the the widget. so no,

this is again uh uh, a sign of frustration. oh, the key frame being left out from the focus of the right. another big story developing in central africa, insurgents from the m 23 militant group hop, reportedly captured a major airport in the democratic republic of the congo was mineral rich, east r t correspond in europe. and you can get, can tell us more. what has been happening is that the entering the city fights has, which have already captured gone. my eastern does see no solution to advance on the provincial capital of the couple in south keys, which happens to be the region, the 2nd largest city in east, off the deep sea. the group recently claimed in a post on x that to be situation in the region is worsening sites and ongoing killings and routines as well. now to spikes declaring a sci fi a just

a few days of goals to prove, continue with heavy shadowing along the front lines of raising concerns off a broad war comedies. government, however, has refused to engage directly with the mtv. so the fight is assisting that in the talks must include as the um, in a product peace process. the all serious allegations at this moment offer one to literally support for the into the city. which raises questions about the nature of international involvement and the regional dynamics of play. according to these reports are the london military forces may just have across the board that enabling them to the city to gain ground and intensifies operations. for now, it remains to be seen with up a comparable for i'm the, the m 23 control completely. now the international community has often been criticized. so it's a slow reaction to the developing crisis. was in the d r c. well, the have been,

if it's to broke a piece, add, provide humanitarian aid, the issues that we made last week, an interest in this whole conflict. and we do know that this current escalation, that we've all seen comes off to the east african community. and besides an applicant development community lead is directed the defense chiefs from both these blocks to meet within 5 days to assist in enforcing and immediate and unconditional . seized by a but it seems like those if it's over the cost $3.00 k to have fallen on disk. yes . even though it may be too early to tell way to see whether the outcome from the african union today on the conflict will change anything. and right now, with rising concerns of humanitarian crises and on rebellions the out of seas for you to have a missed the stand off between the governments available groups. as far as minutes you've got involvement as well. it's not just military metrics or government

strategies on the table. it's also the lives, most importantly on the count, the citizens, quote, in this turmoil of yet another davis day to conflict. right, let's turn attention on the program now to the middle east, where with the cease fire and 11 on hanging, essentially by a thread authorities in a brute top denied. and they're really in plain from lung thing at the cities international airport protesters weaving his bullet flags are blocking access roads to the building. in reaction, here's our t, steve sweeney with more pensions of fled. if i was international, abhor off the post test as class with members of the lebanese secuity for these hundreds, it descended that all the postage circulated online showed liberty civilians stranded on the runway around international airport. this was also the deputies governments, had refused to allow it to land roughly cover every international airport and as

well have to have paid to a residence to play, signed the, it contains it right in the, in cash. now the protest is set fires and they were confronted by the security policies to find, show, since the take us to liberties government. eventually charles to define for middle east allies to return those. it was stranded in around and bring them back to level to now, many of those civilians have been around for religious holidays. some were even believed to be coming from iran at sea level to him for the funeral of the slain has the secretary general house on those rod at now has a lot did issue. a statement to the protest is coating for them to carry out that protest peacefully. now, this again is seen as a nother intervention from the united states is believe that it is pressure from washington. and that, that the government to refuse to allow the place to land invite waste. of course this comes just a week off the,

the us and boy or deputy invoice for the me least move. and also it goes from the outrage off the comments she made it the presidential probably as in bob, the when she phrased as well for defeating has law and cool for the organization to be excluded from the government. now this becomes a very volatile time in lever done. the extension of the seas father, the dates is a drawing day on february, the 18th. and as well as the powers, the offices that deadline to be extended that has been categorically ruled out by the liberties government that board president joseph own of again as well, has escalated tension soon. all the, you know, the lives of the seas fall wouldn't be agreed to the extension of that safe box as well. 5, please find to just very little over the liberties come into play. root breaking the sound by we're closing these sony foods, which is very much seen as a direct threat to the lebanese government to pressure them into,

excepting those is really devolves to keep traits here in the south of the country . now, this also comes at the time where we're preparing for the funeral of the secretary general, pass on. that's rather so tensions, again, related carpeting, all the time of the, a huge number of delegates due to attend the funeral from around a little 80 countries across the world. so this is, see, again, is a threat to the liberties government who kind of you called and to the country. but the lebanese government well is being urged to take sovereignty over the apple and not allow outside is to dictate those tends to them not as well for its part seems to be escalating attentions that were 3 strikes last night on thursday nights, just on the board of the of the, the tony river in the number to the region. we don't know of any casualties at this

stage. but as that day for the extension of the c 5 draws nearer moving all to yourself was you set to return to the country on sunday, the 16th to february, and the go sions around any potential extension all due to take place. but the situation for now here remains incredibly folded towels, and whether it is right will be fine. the fed by 70, the i t related very much to be say, born and raised into conflict. the young don't bother us, have no no other life next. and our to documentary team is welcome to into the home of, of somebody who has suffered more than most, even in the war twins. it's a so ring 25 minutes ahead. but up listening to it all begins and moments. they close the

it needs to come to the rushing state. never as tight as i'm sort of the most sense community best ingles, i'll send send up the in the 6595 and speedy. what else calls question about this? even though we will fan in the european union the kremlin mission, the state on the rush for the day and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the senior said this is even closer to the

donald trump wrist repeating joe bible's disasters and you guys are allowing genocide to return to office claiming to be a peacemaker trumps of words and actions about the guys that demonstrate the opposite with donald trump does now will define his presidency and select the

a decrease to but i should use the restroom over the course to know what the community is. i just googled on screen and this will be just skipped. so let's be over soon as opposed to what you're going to get it done. so i think she was wanting to just because it doesn't come, you know, communicated the integrity most of the tools and stuff better. and would you like me to get to you see the list because i know i just came down here that i've used the e to to do with this issue of the.
