the the, the bridge in use the kremlin and couldn't find the said a top, but diplomatic 10 negation will have to saudi arabia on tuesday. they'll sit down with their american counterparts holding up hoff tools, a political settlement over the ukraine conference. we will listen to our american counterparts, and of course we will be ready to respond. we will report back to our leaders who will make decisions regarding further steps closet and didn't get an invite to the told fees decided to stay close to the accident anyway. in 1980, i need to insisting that without ukrainian representation, that can be no peace to the as far as it was in a certain sense that the so europe and nightmare. but at the same time,
10:01 am
it was also a very enlightening conference because we learned from the speech of us vice president that this america under trump, is living on another planet, called rhetoric from the us as the unix security conference needs. the europe hands on edge brings before and chairman lets me conclude and this becomes difficult. the power struggle is brewing in ukraine. a local man central forward using here, but no longer up to the task of running the country. and as the landscape is staring down the barrel of a military, the coming to your lot from most coastal attempt to national as always thank you for choosing awesome. so keeping me company this, our well, next stop
10:02 am
a re at the kremlin has officially confirmed the most as top to come up. so, okay, now for off, along with the presidential aid will meet with the us delegation in saudi arabia. on tuesday, they are expected to discuss the ways of potentially resolving the ukraine conflict . they are expected to hold discussions with their american counterparts on tuesday, which will primarily focused on restoring the full spectrum of russian american relations. additionally, they will address preparations for possible negotiations regarding the ukranian situation and organizing a meeting between the 2 presidents, the latest comments that we have from any sort of russian official on these upcoming negotiations that are set to take place in saudi arabia on tuesday are from sir, day lab, rob the russian foreign minister during his bilateral meeting with the serbian foreign minister. but they didn't just talk of course about relations between serbia and russia. lab, ralph, tony talked a lot about the expectations that the russian side has for these upcoming
10:03 am
negotiations. the sort of echoed something that the kremlin said earlier today that the russian side is going into this. trying to reignite reconstructs comprehensive relations between russia and the united states that have been cold and not working properly for so many years because of hostile u. s. foreign policy is why rob said, right, the main goal of the russian delegation is going to be not to make ultimatums or park orders or anything like that, but to listen to the other side and get past the sort of relations that have really played diplomacy between russia in the united states for many years, my peers issue whenever we go into negotiations upon the suggestion of our partners, the primary goal is to listen to them. so the former president's prudent and trump during their phone conversations agreed on the need to move past the completely abnormal period and relations between these 2 great power, not a month when essentially they were not communicating at all except about some
10:04 am
technical and humanitarian issues. the presidents concurred, that dialogue needs to be resumed on all matters that can be addressed with the involvement of both russia and the u. s. so this includes discussions about the situation in ukraine. see the middle east and several other regions around the world that are current at lee experiencing unrest. therefore, we will listen to our american counterpoint. and of course, we will be ready to respond. we will report back to our leaders who will make decisions regarding further steps. so everyone seems to have gone crazy. i mean, the headlines in years ago on social media and phone saying, the end of the whole, it's a minute. it's just around the corner. what's your view on that? is that slightly over optimistic some people even saying we've got an extra deadline to think that it's actually feasible. listen, i think that 1st we have to recognize this as a historic moment. the fact that us rush of bilateral relations were so abnormal over the past 3 years, especially under former president by that, who cut off basically any contact with his current and count the parts is really
10:05 am
something that we have to recognize of this period of time has been uh, something that we haven't seen since the cold war. so the fact that we are restarting diplomatic relations and at least having a dialogue is very symbolic. and something that can lead to some progress on not only the bilateral relationship, but, and possibly ending the war a new frame. however, i think we have to send for our expectations. there are a lot of complexities involved here for us as national security concerns. it's questions over it's kind of total integrity over the expansion of nato. does so many concerns, not to mention the numerous sanctions put on russia by the west. all of these has to be part of the negotiations. and ultimately, the rest has concern over the next vacation, demilitarization and ukrainian neutrality has to be agreed upon by all the partners involved. and so i think the fed as the complexity here, what could possibly happen is the rep for a month between united states and russia, but to get opinions going on a separate test on a wordpress. and we have to recognize that that's
10:06 am
a possibility in this equation was also interesting, just the things that we've seen moving around. right. and we sent it this morning. we sold it visa. mastercard might be coming back. and now everyone's thinking good is this all somehow involved? i don't. well, so we have to talk about the unit security problem friend. so lot roles lessons about today. um what specific team did he have to say about not events? well, at the press conference that he gave, which i mentioned before, he talked a lot about right, how this is connected to the european union kind of feeling insecure and its position. not knowing if it's going to have a significant spot or a spot at all at the negotiating table when it comes to coming to sort of some sort of peaceful resolution to this ukraine conflict and lots of asked. i mean, why should they have a position at all in the negotiating process when they've still got this attitude that they have had since the minutes protocols back in 2015? and this, just to remind our viewers was an agreement that was signed by
10:07 am
a number of parties, including russia, germany, france, to establish a cease fire in the ukraine conflict. and later on, european officials had admitted that this was just to buy ukraine time to prepare its military for a larger conflict with russia and russia had actually engaged in these negotiations in good faith. and now at the munich security conference, we've got people like the finish president saying that maybe they can cut another troops to buy more time and prepare the military for another confrontation for the european union is just more war war. no, no sort of understanding of, of what it's gonna take to actually come to a peace agreement in this conflict. and again, we're talking about the european sponsors of a regime that lab ross has called out for its many crimes. i mean, we're pressing the russian language, we're pressing russian culture, giving these basically for a free way to neo nazis,
10:08 am
to put their own political agenda at the forefront of the country. i mean, the end, of course we can forget about when the people's republic simple gone, has been done yet declared independence from ukraine. and that ever seem launched a military offensive against those people calling them all terrorist. so with a forest slab road said that these people need to be held accountable for notes. as for the outcome of the munich conference, i can say the following. everyone must be held accountable for their actions when someone engages in lawlessness for many years. and when a nazi regime is arm to kill its own citizens, all while hoping to somehow slip by and hide under a nuclear umbrella that will no longer be tolerated. people must answer for their deeds. that's even stated in the bible. if they attempt to push for some cunning ideas about freezing the conflict while continuing to wage war, as per their usual customs and habits, then why invite them at all. for washington's perspective, how significant
10:09 am
a part now out that negotiating table is brussels, we're seeing that there's a lot of hysteria coming out of european countries. there's also a fracturing into europe in countries we have to recognize for binding hungry. also, slovakia is leader dar many fishers and fractures within the european alliance. not only within nato, but in the european union itself and the populace. the people of various european countries are sick of their money going to ukraine and to enter the possibility of further expenditures in the military. so the fact that some is coming in and the 6 to have the restart in negotiations, the europeans are not necessarily interested in that decades of rooster phobia. and sort of ramping up this conflict and the futile mongering of a possible russian invasion of europe of the borders. russia has expressed no interest in, in reading anybody. right? what happened in, in kelvin, 2014 has to be understood within it and circle context. but there's been no indication that the russian federation seeks any other military conflict. so this fear mongering is actually playing into the cards of those will seek to create
10:10 am
a good opinion wide army, those who advocate as always for europe actually to move away from the us block and to be it's a block unto itself and to have its own policy outside of washington. the fear here is that brussels might eventually tell the americans if the american, instead of dealing say, we don't want to be involved anymore. russell, to say we're going to send our sons and daughters do you fain to fight. and we're willing to take that risk. the problem, of course, is that these are 2 european countries that are also nuclear powers. so we have to understand that there's still a lot of danger in this, and my hope is that cooler heads and sane people can prevail in brussels to forge a new restart to this entire situation, not only for their own countries, but for the good opinion global security at large. i'm also just, i would add, very interesting, we're hearing basically the usa. the queen is never going to get into nature. then a couple of hours later we hit us to the thing we need to speed up to create the session. to, to the blogs. the blog is very difficult to imagine, may find not actually right,
10:11 am
how brussels would be able to what the taking in ukraine would like that. or if that, i mean, just been totally rebuilt, how they would survive thought, don't just returning to the much anticipated summit in saudi. we know, pretty much who's coming from most go now, prof. presidential aids. i'm sure more in terms of the make up of the us team. what are we looking out here? well, we've already seen the video of secretary of state marco rubio. well, i'm sorry, we're just breaking just programming because russia has requested a meeting of the web security council a decade has passed since and adopted a piece resolution the eastern new credit. i want to listen to the batteries, the main 2 agreements. why are these agreements important? well, because the people of ukraine are divided. they're either pro russian or m t russian. i sense an objection somewhere out here in this
10:12 am
room of questioning my credentials. so forgive me a fearless source of. what does he know? he's just some old musician. well, i may be just a musician, but i'm here to talk about war and peace and love my credentials from the place. i do know this. hundreds of thousands of dead ukrainian or russian soldiers, no less sons and torches. and uh, some mothers and fathers, uncles, and cousins and friends in this room with us today. the dead soldiers want me to survive big loved ones on to me. i feel that pain. i feel their presence in this room energy so i won't
10:13 am
take my father was killed on the morning of the 18th of february 1914 full defending the n z a bridge check initially from the nazis. i was 5 months. so that day tomorrow is the 18th of february. so tomorrow i will have carried these credentials in this broken heart for 81 years going. so i mean, it's to the pro russian anti russian division in ukrainian society. so i guess we have to visit may done in november 2013 protests started to cave against the pro russian government to present. yeah, new coverage. these protests climaxed between the 18th and 20th of february,
10:14 am
2014. when for us fighting which we made an act, this police and an identified of those resulted in the depths of almost a 100 civilians and 13 police. like most of you don't really watch the don't tv. what suggested noisy and very deadly political clash between different factions and ukrainian society, or was it more complicated than that was the outside interference, for instance. did i see senator john mccain on the biology and sticking he so we've all listened to the famous cell phone call between victoria and and jeff piatt together, calmly picking out a new ukranian president who could forget victoria unions casual on the side the you whatever it was a told to and very nasty,
10:15 am
dead bodies every but who started it. who followed the 1st shot. this is one of the problems with regime change, isn't it? that body is there or somebody just love one. it looks is a full the talks and made himself to mouth that lead up to minutes to a year later. well, a very necessary and with the attempt to find a solution to a deadly problem in a deeply divided society. the links to smells like common sense to me, but there's another smile in the story though. some say it's a new government in key. if was on julia, influenced by right wing factions like the right sect and the photos of step and
10:16 am
then data. if you don't know who step and then data is or was it shouldn't be it. you should be at home watching the bill bostrad or reruns of the contact sheets. anyway, a me took me off to the change of government in 2014 crime is seated from ukraine, enjoying the russian federation. did it say it was a i next? thank you pick. we could always us the paper on the ground. that's have a look show way in a referendum held at the time. 95 percent a few trans in cried me a voted to secede for. okay. he is rolled by until in 2019 a new president was selected. a popular act of court,
10:17 am
low dom is savanski. he ran his campaign on a promise to resurrect and implement minutes to a one in a landslide. i am the man means to um, know them up. well then things got worse. the russians kept saying things are getting worse. 60 spite ridiculous, action. but this was the time of russia gates anything a russian said fellow definitely is. there was no grown up conversation about ukraine in the usa. no one in washington for instance, had taken a non best of william j bens cable of 10 years earlier entitled yet means yet it was about russia's concern. so for you here on nathan member, ukraine. i hate stores that, like many of the red line warnings,
10:18 am
it was ignored. the severity of territory attacks on the don't bass increased. the minutes could agreements long, forgotten, or a node. on february, the 24th 2022, the chickens game of the roost. russian troops across the border into the train and you trade in russian soldiers starting dying. my blog, dremco on that day was. are you serious? why wasn't disappointed? could this be an avoid? course it could have been avoided. it's called diplomacy. it's cool, common sense. it's cool talking to one another rule is only ever, ever,
10:19 am
ever an option as an absolute lowest result except of course isn't it. if you think about it, we have come to accept pool as a way of life. to quote general smedley, butler from 1935 quote. rule is a racket, it always has the it is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable. surely the most vicious at it is the on the bracket that these international and scrub profits from the racket, bridge people to all the calcs since the 2nd. well, the records has been a constant companion, korea, vietnam course. it though it broke afghanistan, libya, syria, palestine. well,
10:20 am
palestine isn't really a war, is it? it don't get me started. back to you crying. it looked as if the war and mute cray might die stobel because people started talking to each other. my sister lensky, started talking to mr. booted by the end of april. of ceasefire, but he went to be negotiated and agreed in his stumble. but then the british prime minister virus johnson arrived and keith with a message, a lot of media, a word in your yeah. forget just i'm bull in minutes, can do that between you and me. this will suits the americans down to the ground. they think it's a, we can russia. so it's been decided to continue it for as long as it takes.
10:21 am
and um, just between you and me to number it takes the best they'll keep sending you, i'm of course. and they'd like you to, well, you know, just fight. oh, wow. like to that? yeah. i wrote letters to fill out to me as wife, mississippi, and scott and president putin. i blather don't to missy. so then square about similarities between cuba and ukraine and suggested that the reason we survived the existential crisis in 62 was largely explained by the fact that leaders acacia cruise check from john f. kennedy spoke to one another on the telephone like civilized human beings. and common sense prevailed. wouldn't it be nice if our leaders today spoke to one another on the telephone like
10:22 am
civilized human beings and common sense prevails. all right. i've run out of time. i'm sure you all heard by now. the 2 of all ages already on. so that's cool. mr. trump and mr. pitts, you have spoken to one another on the telephone that gentleman is or could be in this is a sions humble opinion and move in the right direction. maybe there is a glimmer of ice at the end of this dark tunnel is come. 3 is an hundreds of 1000 surprise. this lives too late, but maybe just, maybe it says start is the president license and then
10:23 am
thank you for your attention. i've talked to mr. walters for his 1st day. i am now give the floor to those council members who wish to make statements. i'd give the floor to the representative of the russian federation. a. mr. president, we explained roger waters for his statement with an analysis of the history of the cranium crisis and the assessments of the significance of them is grievance for the relevant diplomatic efforts. today marks the 10th anniversary of the adoption of security council resolution $2202.00, which endorsed the package of measures for the implementation of the minutes agreements. having in this way spoken out in favor of the
10:24 am
solution. that means group solutions are right that several days prior to that and security council. it's assumed that their implementation and took into their implementation under its oversight and control, however hopes for the establishment of the long term. last thing piece, which emerged at that point for all of us were not faded to come to fruition. furthermore, today the words minsk agreements became something of a diplomatic, has become something of a different medic, euphemism supp, replacing the words failure or lie. so we believe that our security council has every reason to analyze why this happened, and why peace in ukraine in east ukraine after this did not come to fruition. first and foremost, i would recall that the 13 paragraph, the full 13 points of the package of measures categorically set out this the question of the implementation of concrete measures to normalize the situation in
10:25 am
ukraine and to bring the l p r and dpr into its fold the latter of the last of these the steps and so there was the ration of kids control over the state border and east to crime for this to occur. it was necessary for the ukrainian leadership to undertake a number of measures geared towards providing l. p r. and d, p i was brought autonomy and for the protection of the identity of the russian language speaking population. however, very soon it became clear that the, that those who seized power following the 2014 entered constitutional cool. i refer to the nationalist key of regime from the very get go. they have no intention of implementing a single one of the points of a document. we are well aware of what transpired events during the meeting of the trilateral contact, a group of how the key of representatives openly and explicitly sabotage to the
10:26 am
agreement. we consistently and continuously talks about this. nobody listened to us . this fell on deaf ears and continues to fall on deaf ears and the a ukrainian officials to do. we're not signing away from explicitly stating that since the minutes agreements at quota, significantly became the result of pressure from critical circumstances and external factors. the fate of its implementation, hinges solely on the goodwill of ukraine and the soul. and only through stratagem of the ukrainian government is to, to gain time and 2 and a 2 step sure. up as far as, as this, as a quote from mister garble and an advisor to create in a president the representatives of the key of regime a characterize the circumstance as a to which they signed onto as a, a news on the, on the, the, the, the the,
10:27 am
the neck of ukraine that was from mr cuff to and did history. this was the defense minister, mr. disney called they spoke in a tone suggesting that the agreements could not be implemented on a parent, on a, on russian conditions. this is with the words of a mr. collette but the for administer, and on the whole, the implementation, they said the means of the destruction of the country. and this with came from mr. daniel or the secretary of the national security council and defense council of ukraine. they clumsily drew the conclusion that they grab it and that in their view, their agreements were not binding in nature, allowing for the opportunity of various interpretations. that was mister zelinski, his words. and according to mister vision, the cause of a written need to be reformatted during a meetings of as a good counsel repeatedly drawn, a drew attention to these unacceptable statements and to the in admissibility of key of sabotage of a document that was endorsed by a security council resolution, we called upon all of the members of our security council,
10:28 am
which whole bears responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security to categorically demand that the queue that the ukrainian government comply with the obligations that it assumed. however, our western colleagues continuously avoided this and they even attempted to address grievances visa view, not in the implementation of a package of measures towards the russian federation. despite the fact that the russian federation was not a party there under, nor did it show there any obligations for their under later. the real reason for this policy came to light, as it became, as became clear from the acknowledgments of the number of senior apollo politicians merkel along and part of single specifically, the minsk agreements were something which the western sponsors, if you ever seem needed purely as a smoke screen to provide arguments so to ukraine, i to preferred for war with russia and this ultimately compelled us nearly 3 years ago to begin the special military progression in the ukraine. we repeatedly in this
10:29 am
chamber and not just in this chamber, we stated that's had them into agreements been implemented in good faith, you by ukraine, ended sponsors. there would have been nothing, nothing of what the subsequent pi transpired would have occurred. having ignored the clear messages about the key of regimes, unwilling the search and on the block of writing this to implement resolution 220. 2 western states completely failed in the critical mission of the city council, which is a single out when it comes to many other countries, specific situations. i refer to preventive diplomacy today. they are trying to denial if they split it, it is good to all of us. that it is indeed a that they held 10 years ago, instruments and lever. so to guarantee a peaceful resolution to the internal crisis in ukraine, which was triggered by the, into a constitutional cool in kia, of, in february 2014. but not only did they fail to leverage to the cit measures,
10:30 am
but they attempted to whip up ukrainian nationalism and the rest of phobia which they cultivated, thereby creating all conditions for direct confrontation between ukraine and russia . ultimately, they are reaping what they have sewn. mister president, today we are in a position to observe that the deliberate sabotage of implementation of the men's cabbage package of measures had a faithful consequences and regular questions for ukraine. not only did ukraine allow an opportunity to slip away for peace and the restoration of control and don't pass, but they deliberately failed to harness the best means of resolving the internal conflict in ukraine. an ex, an opportunity was lost to transform your credit into a civilized state with respect for the rights of all citizens is carried out with a new discrimination whatsoever on political, linguistic, or national ground.
