[000:00:00;00] news the difference a single day and makes in the headlines. there were now to the us on occasion, leading saudi arabia up to the 1st high level tools with russia in years, ultimately paving the way to rebuild bilateral ties with sites back on ending the conflicting new crime. conversation was very useful. we not only listened but also heard each other, and i have reason to believe that the american side has begun to better understand our position diplomacy ultimately is based on tax, based on commitments that are kept today or, or we weren't invited. well, you've been there for 3 years. you should have ended it 3 years. you should have never started it. you could have made a deal as your crime was sidelined during the told to saudi arabia. president trump

highlights key f i. d is to resolve the conflict. now it's time that you get so it's more important for them than it is for us. we have an ocean in between and they don't fit. brand naval showcases trying from around the world and we're on the side is massive naval drills kickoff in indonesia, west $38.00 nations including russia, are taking the just off the high noun here and most over to conversely, on stand by a comma tree from russia is foreign minister, so get off for all, for each fresh back re add back in most go today addressing the state. do much dig around for that. how much we, but for right now, your one off the top story for you right now. the american delegation has the left of the saudi capital of the basically historic told, with russia on tuesday. did you know the negotiations?

lofton went over for hours and the us secretary of state right? that moscow? rubio, heading back to washington following these thoughts and both russia and america praising the negotiations. i should say, that is the course is now being set for normalization of relations and a possible supplemental. the confidence in ukraine is donald trump, by the way, says, should never have started in the 1st place. and i think i have the power to end this war. and i think it's going very well. but today i heard, oh, well, we weren't invited. well, you've been there for 3 years. you should have ended it 3 years. you should have never started it. you could have made a deal. well, we have a situation where we haven't had elections in ukraine where we have martial law essentially marshall lower and ukraine. where the leader in ukraine, i mean i hate to say it, but he's down at 4 percent approval writing. and yeah, i would say that, you know, when they want to see that the table, you can say that people have to, when the people of ukraine have to say, like,

you know, it's been a long time since we've had an election. that's not a russia thing. that's something coming from me and coming from many other countries also over now as well. political correspondent. yeah, go to piss. got off in riyadh. he's been following the tools up and close 0. some of the high is quite an important meeting for the relationship between russia in the united states. you've just heard the, the 1st comments coming from president donald trump, following these talk, say, here in saudi arabia of the 1st high level official meeting between the 2 countries . in many years, i think it's fair to say that russia in the united states were able to make the 1st firm step towards normalizing their relationship. they've managed to cover quite a lot of issues from bi lateral ties to the conflict in ukraine. they said that they wants to move forward. they've agreed to start working on normalizing the work of their diplomatic missions, which according to rush, has 4 minutes to serve your lab or off was hampered for

a long time by the previous us administration. however, i've also said that perhaps one of the most important things that the 2 sides managed to achieve here in saudi arabia is that russia and the united states finally began listening to one another to go to deals at the beginning of our conversation. this is marco rubio particularly emphasized the fundamental importance of each country being guided by its national interest in international relations. and then we fully agreed with this with the temple these national interests of course, will not always coincide still, but when they do not coincide, that means it is very important to regulate the discrepancies with it, so not to let them slide. nope, the need especially not to provoke a military who would or any other kind of confrontation who script you from the so much. so the conversation was very useful on thought. so we not only listened but also heard each other because you know, and i have reason to believe that the american side has begun to better understand our position of the deal. and so these words were echo, did by us secretary of state,

marco rubio was said that this meeting was about dialogue, and it wasn't about a monologue. and that the, in order for any diplomatic solution to be successful, concessions have to be made by all sides. think diplomacy ultimately is based on the actions based on commitments that are kept. so i think they came away today convinced that they are willing to begin to engage in a serious process to determine how and how quickly and through what mechanism can in and be brought to this war. whether we can ultimately reach that outcome. well, obviously depend on every side and it's complex willingness to, to agree to certain things. so, um, i think it's important to have this meeting because we haven't really had much engagement with the russians for almost 3 years. and it's, that's the table for future conversations. how that turns out will be up to the parties and their willingness not just to make commitments but the live by them. that will be tested in the weeks to come. it's no engagement for nearly 3 years.

that statement just makes a message, doesn't it ends. but slowly and back to rush, as for administer, who said that moscow was also able to achieve another important thing is that they finally conveyed their concerns and their general stance of russia on any possible deployment of foreign peacekeeping. contingency in ukraine. see him on the topic of the potential deployment of some kind of armed forces for peacekeeping contingency, allegedly after the conflict has already been resolved or an agreement has been reached is of interest to the americans of depending on which countries are prepared to provide the question is being addressed to the members of the european union. we explained during our talks today that we have noted very well that president trump and several of his speeches was the 1st western leader to say clearly that pulling ukraine into nato was one of the main reasons for what is happening is that this is one of the biggest mistakes of joe biden and his administration, and that if a trump for president at that time, he would not have allowed it to happen. so in this regard, we explained to our colleagues today, the president,

putin has repeatedly emphasized that the expansion of nato, the absorption of ukraine by the north atlantic alliance is a direct threat to the interest of the russian federation, a direct threat to our sovereignty. so we have explained today that the appearance of armed forces from the same nato countries, but under a foreign flag, under the flag of the european union or under boost the national flags does not change anything in this regard. obviously, this is of course, an acceptable to us. now regarding the conflict in ukraine, both sides have agreed to start working on creating top level teams, which will then work together to look and find a long lasting diplomatic solution to the conflicts which will suit all sides. and i think it's pretty clear that both must go and wash, and there aren't completely on the same page when it comes to understanding that that solution has to be final. they're not talking about any temporary measures or freezing the conflict. so there's some, the,

some underlying principles this needs to be a permanent, into the war and not a temporary. and as we've seen in the past, we know just the practical reality is that there is going to be some discussion of territory. and there's going to be a discussion of security guarantees. those are just yet fundamental basics uh that will, that will undergird and underlie any type of discussion. so once again, quite an important event for the relationship between moscow and washington, which many thought was already on the verge of collapse. now the 1st steps are being made towards normalization. uh, the 2 sides that they are to say that they want to continue increasing the contacts boasting and the relationship even up to the point of the meeting between the presidents of brush and the united states, which donald trump said once again, just now in washington is possible to happen, even in february,

during those tools and re add both russian and us officials agreed to walk a powerfully in earnest in removing obstacles for trade and all kinds of cooperation. a beloved size, there was a great interest in removing artificial barriers and that to the development of mutually beneficial economic cooperation. during the discussion of economic aspects of our meeting today, the head of the russian direct investment fund was present and also presented some problems if that could be resolved quite quickly to the benefit of russia in the united states. beginning to engage in identifying the extraordinary opportunities that exist, should this conflict come to a acceptable and the trouble opportunities that exist to partner with the russians geopolitically on issues of common interest. and frankly, economically on issues that hopefully will be good for the world and will also improve our relations in the long term between these 2 important countries. i think that's essential in order for the 3rd piece to even be possible, which is our ability to work together on other geo political matters of common

interest. and of course, some pretty unique potentially historic economic partnerships as well. the key that unlocks the door for those opportunities, however, is the end to this concept. literally i was discussing the economic issues without it contributed chris items and he says, rushes economy has not any survive is actually out performing. even the worst full cost western partners could have hope for you out of the despite being the most sanctioned country in the world, the russian federation is now with the end of all of it, far less dependent what it's for my pockets a look at the russian economy now we live here with most of the economy is almost entirely been recalibrate that defies rushes friends throughout the house, lays friends of russia has obligations to these friends and assign treaties and all sorts of things that we know from such a lot of how much he respects international law and international treaties that russia signs. so yeah, i don't know whether we're going to see an, a huge embrace even if the americans allow it, every russians on guns and the fights swift. i think that the whole thing about the

switch where we, i mean you, you covered it, x in the in cuz um that there's so many limitations and issues. the main one is switch is supposedly a non for profit organization. hi. sit in belgium, but the us is very easy, easy. it's very easy for the us to obtain information from the system using basically category a cool tool. and it's so it's really not good for a lot of i think a lot of countries are realizing it's not good for that strategic interest, especially when it comes to uh, you know, results as of national importance, the global tribes using this with system. so really i, i think the conversation coming to the negotiating table now for russia, ross who was in my doing very good position is about to, isn't, doesn't need to sign a treaty with the us today. and everything's going to be rising ross with solve this issues. it's, it's fixed, its own backyard, it's not really up to the us to see how they can fit back into that picture and see for us it wants to be that friend again. exactly, very, very well said is, as we've old and i want us to buy, not all of these weapons sanctions against the russian. not only do they boomerang

back to a guy to issue them, but the russian economy has stabilized. it's improved, it's internalized. it's become multi poder, as well as running into the middle east into asia. meantime, i'm glad you mentioned china. i mean china, the factory of the world, fueled by cheap russian energy. meantime, hey, we see that lensky and ukraine essentially tried to pull one off or piece mail. all these are rare off minerals and ukraine, for example. the say he's saying that um is that it's the one step off of the u. s . these rhetoric, minerals as compensation for the support in already being given. trump is like, yeah, we want a lot of that kind of good stuff cuz it does remind me of little bit of iraq. afghanistan, syria, you know, they always end up going for the natural result. yeah. well really, i, i read it very interesting. specific, i would even go back further to the treaty of this style cfs, but more vs level of resources is more then then that was get been germany, how to give them reparations to the western powers off to the tree, to the site. you know, the oh the lloyd george who was the prime minister of the united kingdom squeeze. and so the pip squeak stops what it sounds like kind of goes from one to said if

it's being given to him. but i think the lonely last the invitations of doing that to the country we, what we saw happened often assessed by board didn't way i don't know whether it's sustainable. and i mean, and i don't know whether, how the new trainings can have this, this that's good and what is it take tight to this on the like to just give away a lot of that result is in reparations for money. that's basically been started anyways saying off of the money kind of council, the president, president trump told us that of that. that's what he told him. and that's the world watched the torch and rehab europe's the leadership, went into food, panic mode because much to it's hora, southern he found himself uninvited with the saudi capital. donald trump reassure them. however, the v, you will play some kind of financial role in the future of ukraine. i believe the president zalinski said last week that he doesn't know what half of the money is that we gave him. well, we gave them, i believe, $350000000000.00, but let's say is something less than that, but it's a, it's

a lot. and we have to equalize with europe because europe is given us a given a very much smaller percentage of that. i think europe has given a 100000000 and we've given, let's say 300 plus and it's more important for them than it is for us. we have an ocean in between. and they don't. and while the leadership scramble to try and stay relevant and quickly conveying to an emergency meeting and powers, mixed messages happening, coming in from europe, with some docking come sentiment, and now those looking to fail, the american void. well, that's good to take on this with a twist will contribute to rachel mazda. the queen ursula proudly declares that europe has contributed more to the big kids table. oops, uh, yeah, the negotiating table then, uh, anyone else? sure. with the money they conveniently reallocated from frozen russian assets to real free market fairytale stealing rushes, wallet, buying a gift with their cash, and then acting like

a selfless philanthropist. now she says the you wants to partner with trump for a quote, just and lasting peace in ukraine spray because nothing says serious diplomatic effort like freaking out every time from mentions piece talks. and then when he sidelines, you rushing over like an ex who suddenly wants to work things out or bond for one isn't buying it. he says, europe had it shot and missed it. and now that real negotiations are happening between russia and the us, the was playing catch up like a kid, grabbing the hand rail at the top of an escalator and pretending that they're the one pulling everyone up. hearing that russian and u. s. foreign ministers were meeting and saudi arabia without them be leaders scrambled to hold their own summit on february 17th, even if it was without ukraine. ironically, this is exactly what they've been losing their minds over trump and russia doing even funnier. most of you wasn't even that be you summit,

either just 6 you leaders to brussels bureaucrats and nato secretary general mark right to because, well, nothing screams piece like having the spokesman for the western arms industry at the table. meanwhile, the baltics in north x apparently had to wait for poland and denmark to send them notes afterwards. like kids who skipped class. sounds like a really big moment for you. unity there and speaking of denmark, they sat there talking about weapons for ukraine, like it's at the top of their priority list while trump keeps making noises on line just to apologize for jumping in. bear with the rest of the 4 minutes or so get laughter afresh. scott: from re uh, now with the state duma here at moscow covering the nation's top foreign policies. that's listed the highly value of the relationships between diplomats and lawmakers . these relationships so far my business life can translate for allowing to exchange opinions and views from the view of us. i'm sure the managers of the minister of foreign affairs, we appreciate you suitable and live benefits very much. is your key regular communication of the voters?

that's gonna show you what topics of the external baltic essentially that's nonsense because i'm supposed to be with the checks i'm aware of the blue mastic service. the concept significant has been and remains as you might as a sub for that role. the concept such a dish, just as a venue to the policy will go pretty up. information is the driving for a cyber, a bonus, international conditions. and i want you to continue so that even setup wizard, all kinds of icons, making sure, and it's economic and technology in the southern states and increasing a frequency of welfare wellbeing and live in standards literature. the russian people, cisco who are going to cause them. yeah. please, lots of their appreciation doesn't, they'll say, do you want to reach these on kind of mike. so, but the very simple a, getting them ready aligned over positions on certain aspects of you. you see what was national politics was a and today the option will and i'm frustrated so that we are continuing this order with the entire membership of the state,

the response of this government our was that i'd like to say which you right away while you are supposed to be sure what process that we received from many of you questions. we are grateful. i'm going up your ass vote and we have 3 of the past, the, the phone. yeah. do you have that? the make the of our answers move your to the duma. i'm going to go to a couple a truck. what i want is there's a lot of and i didn't talk long about so we actually it's national are we the see tasks was excellent. i, our president, actually up desk and city and say, but the order has formulated them many times instead of you at the end of the year conference and it is most of them to the words it's 11, i think, showing the key usually. and even then you, nothing is going with that thing for us to do this at this stage of world that the

2nd one is, is moving towards a multi colo polos furniture for the most of them is a historical process convincing that for you. but in the link to the objective trends, no, soon for a few weeks, less than i'm customer, nobody you know goes by imagine so new luggage centers of power, the countries of the world majority. today she was fearful. many of them that religious or significant of only compress the result was in the economy of socialists here they pursued. and nationally, williamson looks at the started on policy video. so you taking more and more responsibilities on the situation to the original size of the us style apartments and the global south and the global. these are the unique civilizations cultures and religions that part. so lots of different integration support. so give names and blocks of the united states or a commitment, and we are unable to support a continuous, ongoing development organization and free of any external pressures to know just like us advocates,

the national rights for nations define it determines the so this types of the service of the university of censured states emerging in different formats from the 1st thing and when he comes of corporations such as breaks the seal question for you to let them know 1st, this is a very positive trend of the point of view. even though is up at the same time, we can states all the countries of the collective listen to the lead to let you know clean. so it is just, well they clean to agree with a new multiple world water, the late insect. and that's that people. okay, want to retain, leaving that principal the book. see you so hopeless. the positions they're not really remove, they're not pulling yet to see that you encounter them. no, it's a little more of a single movie. but if you were to give these, give us a little bit of bailey, you studies, just remind me of me on the single out suddenly. and that pretty helpful in terms

of the officials for them while ignoring others. and if it isn't the case on ukraine, but it's out subsidies respects also sort of the tingling. so when the principal stuff about pushing the slides, such fundamental principles ask for the rights of nations or self determination and the lead to reason that came with the rights of basic for liberty, visible people, regardless of the race age, under language for religion. but these belong to mental, you can kind of bring a surprise with tramples why colonizers, who it is that this will push the to the stand they were never observed by the it will not say key of rushing it, something new, like i'm going to shoot and the last minute is we have no doubt usually, so the future belongs to an international affairs evening, but i believe there is a customer on the one satisfied to wish the world majority. and on the other side, there's the collective west using the internet here, which as you can observe on a daily basis you most of fails to bring and strength together. you agree with you

and fails to give up the vehicle just to go habits. did you study to kind of the, what is it to use for the last 5 centuries of visiting the store? the where the central, the rules of the world, where confidence that state can be no reasonable in terms of said to lower political course. one that i had some of the set forth by the leader of our state to see if she could that by yesterday looks up relying on national interest as russia has always been both understood to be global. if it's mutually respectful, cooperation to both countries were willing to work with us on the basis of a fair balance of power. it is a personalized body to come under these in security politics and calling me culture . human contacts stepped over. i don't know why they would just, they were always willing to talk, which is going to mutually respectful matter with every country. excuse me, i'm not sure if the memo, original priorities, but your performance trends in english liberally. and they really most of abuse and integration from. yeah. so it's huge with our near neighbors and things,

but being honest, you make sure you end insuring who's the village. i am great to see ration, but on next this is a task. is this the best thing that could i please hold on the base of my left filter through various states and dealing with instructions such as soon as he has to the rage and economic, your name, your seal, you showed you personally called them up category and other that's also a social structures and other formats of communication. so with our, you, with them, states of central asia is 5 plus one. and the category 5 is that something there is russia because their budget in the run because it's on a tremendous tongue who was to play media regionals for the extent in his speech in terms of the minister of foreign affairs is of course the russian president talks about the architecture of you ration security, replacing the know bankruptcy and offer plans like small little or be can you see on that structure we're talking about. we'll be open to both sides of our responsive into really great feel ration included as european thoughts. this was

emphasized, pacific wait, it was most exempt. everybody mostly boerger problems, perception that opportunity to contribute to the walk thing so or they come and come to that the biggest, the most populated of me. but the 50 most issues and arguably the most promising from the point of view of economic development in africa. there's the african union, utilizing all african countries in latin america that there is the coming and also that and everything is that's what i see. the thing is, i've seen you all of the states and there's no such organization that you raise year or as the, or see you have it up like this. just click on search using the goods and spoke to, to, based on the concepts of the numerous. yes, i'm originally structures and i see huh. what else give us the 15 and there is all the gulf states council, you know, for them. i mean you have some if there is no the, and the special nights that platform. so i swear all countries of the continuums

use, we shouldn't be represented with them just north texas. yes, absolutely. so we're going to push forward the concepts that are, i should, the president will talk to about this to work is already other ways to go to nowhere, especially as a new agreements are being signs on neighbors using developing ties there. and unions and blogs, zillow, i'm familiar with businesses that's going to probably, i should mention here, the developmental here, there's no frequency or mutual guarantees of security. so this investment villers, the concealment, investment strategic partnership between so you know that some of the name i used to with korea, one of the spelling of the menus is our membership. and particularly as a person, has to be embarrassed by left sold. unions such as the seal, the c s t o coastal acumen that's throw in there. so that's what you, what i see, that and other constructively minded of states should associate. we're always glad to see you know, through the ranks where something was signed on the switch,

the you with the wrong together with a bill of russian friends from city. i'm simply asking for you guys east coast. this is up to your existing service, the conferences and maintenance of the last 2 years. you would have to go with them . but, you know, drafted some projects for the duration that versus a have multiple arrows. the child turns 21st century, which is supposed to lay the groundwork mushroom continued to regulate, shrink round work for the news means configuring 6th structure plus based on our continents. and that's a 30 minute conference. i'll secuity this drugs. i will be here because i'm to the open, you know, go to suits and use that as far how the contacts with countries. i mentioned billers, this is our priority and we will text on building the union stage of the defense alliance and strengthening coordination with international arena. what was the way of simple the sky dish up? and i shouldn't, you should be able to show, particularly a continuing or use to skip the whole incandescent strategic operations with china

. so the, who, the switch as their leaders. so we'll say many times as a, as an old time hi me, was for the boss for you. most of your train you, we can assist you succeeding any and you go to say you was to let them go to a classical union this year. this year we expect further developments and you're interested level. see, so the people's republic of china, this isn't being through russian solution. chairman susan, being the 1st the, the time to the visit to moscow, just if it stays as you go through them. i have trouble writing the 18th and the restaurant. the victory. quite pessimistic was. present person is going to visit that. he's well, you have china, st. boston facilities for machines in jupiter, celebrating days these things ready for the so easy to any of those 3 of the jury over japan, the oldest for this year from warehouse was injured by shipping. do you think that was a modem and you'd be, have resumes the i'm new with the practices and also i'm in specificity administer

lorenzo multi businesses most co last year or through or go sions, tennessee, and as a result of service in the package of decisions you can see that we are currently working on, but your components things we michigan, the or the compare you what i was little dialogue is being held up a little slow already. so the neighbors to see us to ohms, easier for me to go see the united arrow been raised, so somebody arabia accomplished all of them. all confidence would have a meaning permanent disorder. the founders are listed in the system and to hold them. harrington have strategic relationships with the russians to the group you was sort of sees, go for the conscript zoom. i use the restroom, african interaction, so strong, stronger to we was through the menus deals good. last year we held 1st many serial concerns. so the russian african partnership, so suddenly let's see if it's a couple this but you also of be good to go to united states and go do you feel just found it at the west africa so much that took place and sustained no 2nd

generation. i think this one met together with a frequent trend is let's see, the good continue over contracts for realization of those agreements. this is what i see. i think it was actually a huge set of both rush africa segments and administering on trends of the screechy . i'm up to the point where it came all to things of us, potential corporation go to that for comes to the such that but it was it to the video was that us by the side school. so yeah, that's cooperation for quite a while after the collapse of the soviet union was loaded on those issues. the 2nd i do was was not exactly suspended, they're actually reduced as a rush. i had other priorities that was the assessment. now we're going back to go through the resist structurally. so when you went to the value in the appreciating our african trends. so looking at the assess, they appreciate our contribution to their liberation from the or solo nailed eeoc. some of the best types, there are very goods and we need as soon as

a gift key sports accidentally and promptly on us. we see this floor some growth of the test for our efforts in the us. just give us the motors last year. we started leasing collision. please the my goal til the prior antonio colonialists projects. but just let me know whether this efforts use the shuttle to use along with other affections initiated the international moment and you're going to use what is this level? do not see 5 seeing smaller of neil colonialist practices, the company you brush the minister of foreign affairs, less december 2 months ago was most of the world since you went. directives were from the red negation of colonial was low, you know, as forms and then it just takes pretty near to the 2nd step to be used to be able to be passing the resolution lead to cover their these channels such as did you set the announcing the full team of december 1960 semester could we get in the middle
