the the war of words, donald trump, brad, the grains lot of me is the last key dictator who tricks the us into funding had on winnable conflict with 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 of putting says that he will welcome a face to face meeting with donald trump past as much to discuss what he says. a peace deal over ukraine has to be acceptable to all sides and europe. mazda support, peace negotiations, and have a good neighborly relations with russia. that's the view of jump on member of parliament 7, dr. lee, and then exclusive interview to
5:01 pm
r t. why is the 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. price applying weapons engaging in an economic war that almost destroyed our domestic economy. the what is our to international reaching you from the russian capital with the latest i'm around the world. i am michael watching a big page without elections and only a modest least successful comedian. that's how donald trump has the brutally described ukraine's law. that means the landscape who he says, tricks the us in to financing ad on a winnable war against russia. to think of it, a modestly successful committee and vladimir zalinski talk the united states of america into spending $350000000000.00 to go into
5:02 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 $200000000000.00 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 is very low and ukrainian pulse 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 are successfully negotiating and enter the war with russia. something all admit only trump, and the trump administration can do biting, never tried. europe has failed to bring peace,
5:03 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 a civil rights activism run. the credit go believes that zalesky seeking to avoid the elections by all means possible. they 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 have demonstrations? why would the mothers and the windows of those who we through and then the grinder 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 putting his hand out to get money from washington. all right, so every once you have to the list the right now you go there as people even like s b, you would probably murder and torture. anyone to get a sense of look, we don't like so wednesday, but um, but you know that he is not like,
5:04 pm
you know what he has done. there's no free press there. there's no free anything. there's no elections. he call him a dictator. he is a dictator. he is a dog, he's an, an elective dog. he's a small scale dictator, but he's cause a lot of damage to his country. and a, he's a, you know, he allowed all the while i was there and in the, in the don't ask you a variable 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 bulb and 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 the millions. alright, so that's where he's done with what result we've given them about this concept. donald funds said that ask is approval rating. it had launched to 4 percent, but that prompted an angry response from the ukranian who claims that the us president had fallen for moscow strikes. it says,
5:05 pm
i have 57 percent approval according to the key of international institute of sociology. i received 57 percent from a variety of polls. so if someone were to try to replace me right now, it wouldn't work. i mean, i hate to say it, but he's down at 4 percent approval rating. and yeah, i would say that, you know, when they want to see that today, but you can say that people have to win the people that be great and have to say like, you know, it's been a long time since we've had an election might. so it, so this informal, since we're discussing 4 percent, we understand this misinformation is coming from russia. we understand this and have proof that these figures are being discussed between america and russia when the old that's not a russia think that's something coming from me and coming from many other countries . also note of those not unfortunately, president trump is living in this, this information space. now the us national security advisor also didn't names his
5:06 pm
words when he comes to a lot of these, the landscape, say that trump will not tolerate this kind of rhetoric. mike wall, it's also stated that the arrows and this was, is over and that washington tends to get the return on it to investment in key. if 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 seas. russian 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
5:07 pm
instead we had this kind of escalating rhetoric and pushed back in the presence not going to tolerate the area i discussed a charm. supposed with arctic contribute guitar read and she explained why the president is urging the last key to move fast. and they're trying to 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 in 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 peace? and so she's made some valid points also, you know, a lot of her to the of the winds. he 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,
5:08 pm
he's there illegitimately, that is not a democracy. and uh, you know, and i think the ukrainian people know it and, and most, most importantly, they know he doesn't care about them. they've lost a generation, a generation of people in this conflict. if 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 to fax to us politicians and to zalinski and his cronies. what are you? it wouldn't be 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 you possibly be? i mean, i just outlined some of the actions that he chose, outline the language and treating russian nationals as if they were less then
5:09 pm
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 met by that? he meant that she 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 and all of this a sudden done. all right, the vice president ged vans accused of the landscape of turning on the us, the very country, which means that the ukraine is didn't exist. that's. that's the reason why you couldn't is still here. what do you make of that? it's like fighting the hand, the future, right?
5:10 pm
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 wanted by his people. he has lost a generation of men. they've lost this conflict, and he's been caught out with many war 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 set, but the us would want you crate to pay back for, you know, the investments over this past few years. you think that's going to happen? no ukraine doesn't have the money is in your bankruptcy. black rock owns part of
5:11 pm
bits of ukraine. russia, of course, has advance and owns now um portions of it, um and 22 percent of the minerals that they're talking about. when they're talking about the mental risk like lithium that funds. you know that, that like helps with phones and that helps with other like cars and things. those rich manuals were 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 in says 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
5:12 pm
doesn't have a contingency, obviously in ukraine. 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 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 his corruption has led to this, you know, violence and so to speak. meanwhile, as temper these steps are taken to improve ties between russia and the united states, blah, them and put insides a he will welcome a meeting with donald trump soon. yes. so those, those surfaces don't, 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
5:13 pm
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, 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 at saudi arabia, which it seems really made. the 1st real step forwards towards 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
5:14 pm
previous administration below. in general, as i was informed, the meeting and re odd 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, 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 our partners for those negotiations refused. at the same time, vladimir borton was 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,
5:15 pm
publicly while he was still running and flattering important, says, russian never supported any one of the candidates, even though it was always pretty clear, cool. moscow's favorite, it was in that race. nevertheless, he says that he understands washington continues working with its western allies and what are you creating as well, it's all part of a large ongoing process. quoting says that he will also inform russia as partners within brooks, telling them that moscow and washington have 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 end to this conflict
5:16 pm
together. the 13 did make a comment about what's happening on the front lines that seem to be quite a recent, quite dramatic development. could you just tell us what we know at the stage, bloody or posing, announced that the russian armed forces are advancing on oath. run said that he was informed that this is the much of wasted use for russia. that the army have crossed the border with ukraine. encouraged scrooge at somebody busted me. and i want to look at the latest information i was told just an hour ago, is that tonight, soldiers of the 810th 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 have 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 launch. iraq is systems and thousands upon thousands of various armored vehicles and all the ukranian and nato
5:17 pm
equipments was destroyed. meanwhile, the crating attack on the caspian pipeline consortium in russia's cross the region looks like it was coordinated with europe according to a lot of air boots in on monday, ukrainian drones filled with natural projectiles and explosives, attacks, or facility which pumps and mainly oil from american and european companies for the projects done pens last year. us companies control some 40 percent of uh, oil supplies. they shipped to the vist, i see the seats. and this for draw strike on the group bought these guys station there for which american oil was pumped. 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,
5:18 pm
europe, from brussels, where the european you didn't have it, having posed a 16 package of functions against russia. and now this time, they include a band on the primary on the menu, main ports, sales of gaming consoles, and the listing of 73 shadow fleet vessels, which allegedly carry russian oil a spot. despite on on certain economic outlook the you, the block is reported. the looking to splash the cast on risk falling rebecca very from of its defenses and more aid to keep the price tag is a whopping 700000000000 euros. barely new set to be the driving force behind the move and not has provoked on and responds from germany as opposition. we cannot be as careless with all public finances as perhaps some others and even with others. i'm starting to get very worried. the next financial crisis is coming. now we've
5:19 pm
heard from a former greek ambassador who called the reported e. you were spending plans for this, and deva it is a basic issue. is that why continuing? why should should take? why should the you continue to pour money into ukraine in view of the fact that everything is, is changing? and i just heard before that the, you adopted the 16th package of sanctions, which i also find ridiculous at this present moment. i mean, they have not understood that they have lost this war and they are trying to find a way to save face. but what is going to happen is that the, these people, these governments who are in power, had been in power for the last 2 or 3 years. they are going to change. and it's the new governments that are going to take care of, of the situation. and i hope in
5:20 pm
a much logical way driven you, of course, has problems at all of these problems that at germany has in other countries we in, we, in degrees to is a service is a result of the sanctions that you adopt it against russia and sections that the people of europe page rather than rather than russia. so it creates a serious issue for the you. and of course there's going to be a large discussions among the e u. member states because there's not an agreement on this. i also put a big role of stupidity here. i've been going because all these actions, i mean, look the whole position of say you have a p n junior for the beginning of the war until today is was stupid. that's simple to think that if that that i can see because at the west
5:21 pm
and you accept it to discuss the proposals that dresser submitted to december 2020, the water would not have taken place and the lives of so many people would have been saved to now we must support a peaceful settlement for ukraine and stopped functioning utah. go ahead and have good faith for relations with on a bus, including rasa. those where the take away messages from german, the opposition member of parliament 7, dealing in an exclusive interview to r t. a politician this cross hob, potties, v one the you the future of nature as well as relations with moscow. why is the end of 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
5:22 pm
continues to destroy it. and at the same time, 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 i'm, as well as impractical. and therefore, unrealized people in the accident design case, the we, the zora wagner act alliance or b, s w,
5:23 pm
unequivocally reject ukrainian membership in the you for various reasons. firstly, 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 u. it would also be arrogance on the part of the european union. the you cannot afford to have ukraine as a member state and not to not to get some. well, i don't think
5:24 pm
a split of nato will happen because of the us president nato is 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 pull their world order. this means that europe must create an independent pool of security policy based on its own interests. 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. it just keeps diamond, i'll see you inside the main stream. media and other parties turned against us.
5:25 pm
they are determined to prevent the b s. w from entering the german parliament because are a volume connected 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 to the middle east. now, i'm going to is mounting 11 on over. they continued presence of ease ready troops along the pots of the southern border, and that's despite the agree deadline for the withdrawal expiring on tuesday barrow . it says that the idea of continued presence is, i mean, is a direct validation all the a true is an international law, easily claims that the area is off strategic value. it's of as a defense line against has the locals been wild, have been gradually returning to see what is left of the homes in the south. but some of them have been seen carrying the yellow flag associated with hash block.
5:26 pm
and now we've heard about their plans for the future. and the towns, landmarks have 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 doing 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 on the 6th. 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,
5:27 pm
alive or dead. her son as roland makes, is real angry. the flag of hezbollah will always fly 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 cease fire between ease within, has belie was broken by the united states and funds. 3 months ago, the artist, the sweeney, has been assessing its effectiveness because riley forces have not withdrawing from the last remaining settlements in southern lebanon that remained under that 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 those settlements that was coming 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,
5:28 pm
the forces. however, despite the support for the resistance remains very strong amongst the people we see cause entering. the villages we've seen has below flags and pictures of those that were mounted during the is riley bum bob. and in the south, however, the president joseph. uh, 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 full 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 by uses in those areas. these are areas of strategic pulled, and now these ladies have said that they plan to stay there for several months. now this is a clear breach of the terms of the c 5 agreement president will well,
5:29 pm
he issued the appeal to the united nations, the aust for the united nations to help remove the is ratings from lebanese silver and type of tre we've been 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 righty, bump 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 opened 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 that land. and they have said very, very clearly that if the uniform liberties government isn't able to remove the is way the on forces and the people will do it themselves. this is days for any fidelity in southern evidence and close
5:30 pm
a home i lodge fire has broken outside the institute of cookie decides in solving moscow fix. smoke has been rising from the side into the night sky of the russian capital, more than a 170 firefighters and 40 vehicles, including of helicopter have been working to put out the blaze. and that's according to the russian emergencies ministry, such as people have been evacuated to safety. i will certainly bring you more updates from that as the unsold. i spoke with our international for all the latest from around the world. thanks for watching and by now the
