present the world was donald trump, brands ukraine's lot of music landscape, a big page to trick us into funding on the i'm and winnable conflicts against russia. i would be happy to meet with donald trump. we haven't seen each other in a long time in those previous 4 years when he was president, we met and discussed the relations between our countries. lot of ed putting says that he was welcome to face to face meeting with donald trump as there's much to discuss what he says, 80 p d low. but you crate has to be acceptable to all 5 and europe. mazda support these negotiations and have a good neighborly relations with russia. that's the view of jump. i've never upon them and said in that was the name is an exclusive interview to our to europe has
4:01 pm
become a victim of its own subservience to the us. for 3 years, we participated in the war against russia on behalf of the united states and ukraine. by supplying weapons, engaging in an economic war that almost destroyed our domestic economy. the now we're continuing our coverage of the latest trend, shaping the world right now. this is our international. i a michael, quite a dictator without elections and only a modest least successful comedian. that's how donald trump has brutally described you created zaleski, who he says, tricks the us into financing, and on the window of war against russia. to think of it, a modestly successful comedian vladimir zalinski. talk the united states of america into spending $350000000000.00 to go into
4:02 pm
a war that couldn't be one that never had to start. but a war that he without the us and trump will never be able to settle. the united states has spent $200000000.00 more than europe, and europe's money is guaranteed, while the united states will get nothing back. why didn't sleepy joe biden demand equalization in that this war is far more important to europe than it is to us? we have a big, beautiful ocean as separation on top of this. so lensky admits that half of the money we sent him is missing. he refuses to have elections as very low and ukrainian polls and the only thing he was good at was playing bite and like a fiddle, a dictator without elections, zalinski better move fast, or he is not going to have a country left. in the meantime, we're successfully negotiating an end to the war with russia. something all admit only trump, and the trump administration can do biting, never tried. europe has failed to bring peace,
4:03 pm
and zalinski probably wants to keep the gravy train going. i love you, crane. but zalinski has done a terrible job. his country is shattered and millions have unnecessarily died. and so it continues. now, civil rights activists run the credit co believes that the lens key is seeking to avoid the elections. by all means possible. a j asked for percent approval rating. that's why he goes, i mean, you probably need to, when you the point you got 4 percent approval rate. why would you really have no chance these guys you can have demonstrations? why would the mothers and the windows of those who we through will not be grinder? he knows that he drag them off the street and make it look like they've got an army . they're getting slaughtered and then he's put his hand out to get money from washington. all right, so everyone's give to the list you right now. he is bottom line. go there as people even what s b you would probably murder and torture? anyone to get a sense of look, we don't like so wednesday, but um,
4:04 pm
but you know that he is not like, you know what he has done. there's no free press there. there's no free anything. there's no electron, he call them or dictate, or he is a dictator. he is a dog, he's an elective dog. and he's a small scale dictator, but he's caused a lot of damage to this country and he's a, you know, he allowed all the while i was there and in a, in the don't ask it very awful last year or year and a half ago. and i saw, but they were doubling. they were taking those timers, missiles, they were blowing up, but open markets. they were blown up. universities ever blowing our school children in boxes. i was there, i saw it for a week and was scared to death. because all i was missiles and that's what millions . all right, so that's where he's done with the result. we've given him the us national security advisor also didn't means his words when he comes to let them use the landscape. mike ward stated that the war era is over and that the washington plans to get the
4:05 pm
return on its investment in kias. not everyone has as gotten the message that the era of an endless grinding war with death and destruction on all sides, costing hundreds of billions and costing hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives that arrows over. yeah, and just as an important subject to that is that, you know, we look at the type of a, the europeans are providing. and it's often in the form of loans it's being repaid with the interest on, sees rush and assets. we believe the american pat taxpayer deserves to recoup, i know to much of their investment, all of that's an opportunity for ukraine. they need to see that for what it is. and instead we had this kind of escalating rhetoric and pushed back in the presence not going to tolerate. now, earlier i discussed the drums post with audi. could you be guitar read a? she explained why the president is urging zalesky to move fast. they're trying to
4:06 pm
get a long last, it's sustainable piece. and so in order to have that, there needs to be a legitimate president of ukraine. and you know, i had said this before and earlier marks that without that, that with an illegitimate president. how can you get these legal documents signed that need to happen when you're trying to reach piece? and so she's made some valid points also. you know, what are the wins key really pushed pope to the bear, so to speak, with trump, by insulting him earlier and complaining about not being in saudi arabia instead of just gracefully staying silent. he's out lot of the language, the russian language he blew past the election cycle and there's no, he's not, he's there illegitimately, that is not a democracy. and uh, you know, and i think that you're creating people know it. and, and mo, most importantly, they know, he doesn't care about them. they've lost a generation,
4:07 pm
a generation of people in this conflict. he's, he use them as cannon fodder. basically for financial games, he has a bunch of villas, some ukrainian oligarchy, got some lamborghini, and their children, of course, were safely in europe, while ukrainian men died needlessly because of the money laundering that happened to give kickbacks to us politicians and to zalinski and his cronies. what do you even think specific any trumpet said with all the elections? the last key is effectively a dictator. what did you make of that? well, absolutely. what else could we possibly be? i mean, i just outlined some of the actions that he chose. outline the language of treating russia nationals as if they were less then it and it's killing his own people. a trump has towards the last get to move fast or otherwise he will have no country left. what are you been trump, ned?
4:08 pm
by that, he meant that he needs to cooperate with the p steps that they're taking. so as they're suggesting and demanding an election, the printing and people probably are demanding election, especially without logan approval rate, of course. but you know, so he needs to cooperate. and if he doesn't, well i think they'll be consequences for that. but you know what, however it all shakes out, he will definitely be investigated for we're friends with all of this, a sudden done. all right, the vice president ged funds accused. uh, the last key of turning on the us, the very country, which means that the ukraine is didn't exist. that's. that's the reason why your credit is still here. what do you make of that? it's like biting the hand that feeds you, right? that's the expression we have in the us. um, so he's basically it cornered, you know, and you see this with, um, you know, an animal that gets cornered, right? they lash out. he has no where to go. he doesn't have an exit strategy. he is not
4:09 pm
wanted by his people. he has lost a generation of men. they've lost this conflict, and he's been caught out with many more crimes. i mean, you're, you're talking agree just, you know, be between the labs between and you know, the us was complicit and, and part of this and funding it. and this was all in many people's opinion, a money laundering operation for a week predator class. and he was part of that, the us national security advice up michael watts has recently said that the us would want you crate to pay back for, you know, the investments over this past few years. do you think that's going to happen? no ukraine doesn't have the money is in your bankruptcy. black rock owns part of bits of ukraine. russia, of course, has advance and owns now on portions of it. and 22 percent of the minerals that they're talking about. when they're talking about the mental risk like lithium,
4:10 pm
that funds, you know that, that like helps with phones and that helps with other like cars and things. those richman knows will 22 percent of those belong to russia. now they don't belong to ukraine. so it's not a marketing tool that zalinski can use and, and the land that is left has been battered right and at war and then much of it belongs now to black rock international. the last key insist that he has about 57 the, you know, in these responses that he's has about 57 percent approval ratings that get, he's afraid of elections. why is that? why that contradiction? well, of course, he's going to inflate the numbers just like bite and tried to, until he just couldn't write. he had the lowest readings in us history. zalinski doesn't have a contingency, obviously a new crane. and let's face it. we don't even know the real number of casualties, but it's very high. so you're talking to people that are left are basically in
4:11 pm
survival mode, and i'm pretty sure they're not taking part in polls. and they, i'm almost positive that as a majority, that they know that she has corruption, has led to this, you know, violence and so to speak. while as 10 to the steps are taken to improve ties between russia and the united states. that have been put in says that he would welcome a meeting with donald trump soon. yes. so there was no surfaces that i would be happy to meet with donald trump. we haven't seen each other in a long time. we don't have close ties, but still in those previous 4 years when he was president, we met and discussed the relations between our countries. i would be happy to meet with him now. i think he would be as well. that was evident from the nature of our telephone conversation, but we are in such a position that it is not enough to meet to drink tea or coffee to sit and talk about the future. we need to ensure that our teams prepare issues that are extremely important for both the us and russia,
4:12 pm
including in the ukranian direction, to reach solutions, acceptable to all parties. vladimir important seems to be quite satisfied with the results of this meeting here. saudi arabia, which it seems really made the 1st the real step forwards towards the normalizing the relations between the 2 countries. in fact, moscow and washington agreed to start normalizing the work of their diplomatic commissions, which was hampered by the previous us administration for years. and in fact, this meeting itself was the 1st high level meeting and high level talks between the 2 countries in years. so the president did say that to the nature of the interaction with the americans now is completely different from how it was with the previous administration club. another beloved in general, as i was informed, the meeting and re add was very friendly. as the russian delegation told me on the american side, there were new people who were open to the negotiation process without any bias,
4:13 pm
without any condemnation of what had been done in the past. they are determined to work together, open to cooperation. the purpose and subject of our negotiations was the restoration of relations between russia and the us. as for other sides being involved, 1st of all, russia has never refused contacts with the europeans. russia has never refused to negotiate with ukraine. never see our partners for those negotiations refused at the same time. vladimir important as accused western europe of attempting to intervene in the us presidential elections. and we know that throughout the presidential race, several western european officials made some unpleasant comments about donald trump, publicly while he was still running and flattering important, says, russian never supported any one of the candidates, even though he was always pretty clear, cool. moscow's favorite was in that race. nevertheless,
4:14 pm
he says that he understands washington continues working with its western allies and what do you create and as well, it's all part of a large ongoing process. quoting says that he will also inform russia as partners within bricks telling them that moscow and washington had agreed to join efforts in resolving the ukrainian question. in fact, again, last night here in saudi arabia, they agreed to put together a special teams which will join efforts to find a diplomatic, sustainable, and final solution. most importantly, final, they're not talking about something temporary. they're not talking about freezing the conflict. they want to bring an official, diplomatic, and to this conflict together, a lot of my parents and did make a comment about what's happening on the front lines that seem to be quite a recent, quite dramatic to that of a. could you just tell us what we know at this stage?
4:15 pm
bloody air boozing announced that the russian armed forces are advancing on all front, said that he was informed that and this has been much of wasted use for russia, that the army have crossed the border with ukraine encouraged scrooge at some we busted in 5 months because the latest information i was told just an hour ago is that to night, soldiers of the 800 tense brigade across the border of the russian federation and moved into the enemy's territory as since the minutes. and so the key of regime invaded occurs region. they've lost over 60000 soldiers, in fact is closer 262000. as, according to the russian defense ministry, apart from that more than 300, thanks, 50 multiple loans, rocket systems, and thousands upon thousands of various armored vehicles and all the ukranian and nato equipment was destroyed that. meanwhile, the crating attack on the caspian pipeline consortium in russia's cross the region looks like it was coordinated with europe according to
4:16 pm
a lot of air pollutants on monday, ukrainian drones filled with natural projectiles and explosives to attach the facility which prompts to mainly oil from american and european companies for the projects done pens last year. us companies control some 40 percent of uh, oil supplies the ship via this cdc. and this federal strike on the group bought these guys station there for which american oil was farmed. uh, could zip provoke, high energy prices on the world markets, according to the russian president vladimir poaching. also notice that said, there were no russian air defense systems at the cdc facility because it is well, it is an international facility. in fact, meanwhile, a more use coming uh from uh, europe, from brussels, where the european you didn't have it, having posed a 16 package of functions, i guess, russia now this time they include a band on the primary on the menu main ports, sales of gaming consoles,
4:17 pm
and the listing of 73 shadow fleet vessels, which allegedly carry russian oil. now we must support the peace settlement for ukraine. stopped functioning each other and have good fruitful relations with our neighbors, including russia. those where the take away messages from the german opposition to m. p 7. dr lane and then exclusive interview to r t. the politician discuss how part is view on the you, the feature of nature, as well as relations with moscow. why is the scientists, europe has become a victim of its own subservience to the us? for 3 years, we participated in the war against russia on behalf of the united states and ukraine by supplying weapons, engaging in an economic war that almost destroyed our domestic economy. and continues to destroy it. and at the same time,
4:18 pm
training ukrainian soldiers on german soil, i believe that this is not in our interest. so we must support a peace agreement. we must also stop imposing sanctions on each other in the hope that the other side will change its behavior as this strategy has clearly failed. and it is for this reason that europe is not sitting at the negotiating table, but what is completely unacceptable for us. german politicians is that we are again being asked to pay for this war by the united states. the german tax payers are being asked to pay for it to pay the bill for the reconstruction of ukraine. i think this is completely unacceptable. and at the same time, it is also completely unacceptable to send german soldiers to the border to reach a peace agreement between ukraine and russia. i consider this complete adventure as um, as well as impractical. and therefore, unrealized people we actually design case the we, the zora wagner act alliance or b, s w, unequivocally reject ukrainian membership in the you for various reasons. firstly,
4:19 pm
it would completely ruin us financially. the u commission estimates that ukraine's integration into the european union would cost 186000000000 euros. and at the same time, the conditions for this are not even met. ukraine is a completely corrupt the country. there is no democracy as opposition. parties and opposition media are banned. even former presidents, such as portion co, are under sanctions to prevent them from returning to power. i think this is completely unacceptable. of course, this is also a problem from a military point of view, because according to europe and treaties, there was a military obligation to provide assistance. this means that we would have the same problem with ukrainian membership and nato as in the you. but i can say for myself that we reject ukrainian membership in the you. it would also be arrogance on the part of the european union. the you cannot afford to have ukraine as a member state the not to do not to get gibson. i will, i don't think a split of nato will happen because of the us president nato is
4:20 pm
a geo political geo strategic tool for americans to defend their interests around the world. therefore, they will not abandon this tool. on the contrary, they advocate for the further arming of nato. nato already spends $1.00 trillion dollars a year on weapons and the army, and they want to spend even more, for example, to be able to confront and challenge china, which nato has now identified as its main enemy. i think it is important that we need in europe to consider our own security interests within the context of the decline of the unit polar world order under the leadership of the united states and the simultaneous emergence of a multi pulled her world order. this means that europe must create an independent pool of security policy based on its own interest. this is to pursue a policy of good neighborliness on the european continent to have good and peaceful relations with our neighbors. and this of course, includes russia. you need to speak diamond, i'll see you inside the main stream. media and other parties turned against us. they are determined to prevent the b s. w from entering the german parliament
4:21 pm
because abra volume connects alliance is the only party that defends economic commonsense. we want to import cheap gas from russia again, and have good relations with russia. again, this also means that we oppose the expansion of nato to the east and north until the middle east. now, anger is mounting 11 on over the continued presence of ease ready troops along the pots of the south and border. and that's just by the agree deadline for the withdrawal expiring on tuesday. beverly says that the idea of the continued presence isn't in direct validation of the truth and international law. israel claims that the area is of strategic value and serves as a defense line again passed by. a local, meanwhile, have been gradually retarding to see what's left of their homes in the south. but some of them had been seen carrying the yellow flag associated with the has block. we heard about the plans for the future. and all of the towns landmarks have
4:22 pm
changed, but that doesn't matter. to us, prays to god, we return to the town, thanks to the blood of monitors. we will rebuild the town even if it is destroyed. another 100 or a 1000 times. we are here because of the blood of the monitors, the tomato heights, our house was down there and the road went from here to the lower part of town. as we were accustomed to, instead of to the upper part as it is now, the road didn't go through here, it seems to be new. the towns landmarks have undergone significant modification. i mean, the most important thing for me is to come here and stand with the families of the martyrs to comfort them. because were it not for the blood of these martyrs? no one would have returned to their homes. it is difficult for us to lose them, but in the end, it is their blood that gave us victory 1st and foremost, her son, this rolla who gave us patience, steadfastness, dignity, and pride, alive or dead. her son, as roland makes, is real angry. the flag of hezbollah will always fly,
4:23 pm
and the enemy must not think that we can be intimidated. but all this mass destruction proves that israel is defeated of the car and sees 5 between these reland has belie, was broken by the us in france, 3 months ago. are these div sweetie, it has been assessing its effectiveness. he is ready for us is have now withdrawn from the last remaining settlements in southern lebanon that remained under the occupation. they did so in the early hours of tuesday morning, when the extension to that seems fi agreement run out. now the lebanese army entered a number of a settlements that was carrying out investigations. it was checking for any unexploded ordnance and again this morning. so he's really just now started to return to that line, many of them, of course, for the 1st time in around 18 months. what that finding is a scene of us a devastation. many of those homes have been completely destroyed by the way, the forces. however, despite the support for the resistance remains very strong amongst the people we
4:24 pm
see cause entering. the villages we've seen has blah flags and pictures of those that were mounted during the is riley bum bob. and in the south, however, the president, joseph luna, he gave a speech at the presidential policy and bob the on monday. and he spoke about not trusting what he described as the enemy meeting at the is why the forces he said he expects them to leave the liberties solving territory a by the end of tuesday. however, this is contradicted by statement from the user id on false is which say that they are planning to remain in 5 points across the board that we've seen. and we've even filmed them constructing minute tree bases in those areas. these are areas of strategic pulled, and now these ladies have said that they planned to stay there for several months. now. this is a clear breach of the terms of the c 5 agreement president will well, he issued the appeal to the united nations. he asked for the united nations to help
4:25 pm
remove the is ratings from lebanese solver and type of a weeping. speaking to the people in the villages that they have very little confidence in the united nations. they said that they did very little to protect them during the is right on bowman. and they also have, he lives in confidence in the liberties on the of course, the liberties army has been pretty much helpless haven in southern lebanon, is the, is ready, forces have open fire on women on children, on the elderly. so what the general feeling is, of course, today is one of unbridled joy people are returning to the land. and they've said very, very clearly that if the uniform, lebanese government isn't able to remove the is radio and forces the people will do it themselves. this is days for any fidelity in southern evidence promising to reshape regional cooperation between these 5 member states. iran is hosting
