dissolves dealers that we must not be ashamed of then or left the explosive, if it strikes the russian consulate in the french city of mar, say, edit. a tab of moscow is calling terrorism all just a week ago. russian intelligence services warned to that the european diplomatic missions could become ukrainian this target a war of resolution united states is urging the un general assembly to vote for a resolution on the russia ukraine complex. this monday, which is reportedly drafted with less aggressive language toward moscow. during the wartime yukon have elections, many countries having their constitutions point so that you can't have election. european officials give blood or as well as the a past on elections, despite the failure of ukraine's parliament to rally the votes needed for

a resolution supporting his continued frame. the i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. this is archie international. we start with news from france for the russian consulate in mar, say has come under attack. officials of the compound and the french port city have confirmed the explosions nearly a week ago. moscow intelligent services issued warnings that ukraine is planning terrorist attacks in europe to disrupt the peace talks. the russian foreign ministry is called the aggression an act of terror. this is what happened on the territory of the russian consul, it and mercy. obviously has all the hallmarks of a terrorist act, we demanded from france an immediate comprehensive investigation and of course measures to strength and security. thank god, no one was hurt. now as we understand that local law enforcers are working,

but the relevant demands from the russian side have been made for the most important thing right now is that there were no casualties reported. and that whole area has since been to court. and all we know that there was a stolen car found nearby, with a reaction from all score by the way, foreign ministry spokes memory as a harv upset that this has all the hallmarks of the terrorist beside. and that moscow is demanding a thorough investigation from french authorities and from france itself. here's more from the conflict itself regarding the incidence that happened this mode at 7 30 am local time and there's 3 on identified explosive devices were thrown at the consulate general. said you to have them exploded and one did not. i didn't give you the emergency services were immediately called and the police and a fire brigade arrived and a bomb squad was called in just now all necessary actions are being carried out to investigate the area and the object that did not explode is leaving it there are no casualties of all the building of the consulate general has been cordoned off,

and the consulate general accordingly is not working right now. we will provide all necessary information for local services investigations or underway. we will also follow the development of events. yes, of course we were aware of the threat and light of the situation natal, so we were prepared that what she's referring to there at the end is a series of warnings that were received by the russian intelligent services which they made. public message is coming from europe. that cube is actually planning a series of qualifications against russian diplomats of commissions in europe. here's what they said. according to reports, european countries are alarmed at ukraine's extreme unwillingness to agree with moscow if it requires key is to make excessive concessions according to the information. one of the options being considered by the ukranian regime to disrupt the negotiations involves a series of terror attacks against russian diplomatic missions in european countries. and they asked me,

or was actually very specific about the warnings that it receives. because we're talking about terrorist attacks, that cube is most likely to commit in germany as well as baltic and scandinavian countries, as well as more specific slovakia and hungry. now what we do know is that this could be potentially kias final acts of desperation, as they see that this is coming to an end. we also know that russia right now is increasing security measure. it measures out of all diplomatic emissions for now and friends, but we'll see of course, how this story develops. j a political analyst, serial. the luxury says, yeah, we'll try to sabotage any attempt that piece by using these types of methods to attack russia. one kind of deal really surprised about this because zalinski is really in facing deep, deep, deep, deep problems. uh. and they were trying to find any kind of solutions they knew kind of means to sabotage the piece though that should spout soon and that

a ready started in way. so i'm not really surprised. plus the, as the air had already won all the community that it was to expect such and such attacks. and maybe it's not going to be the only one regarding the place, the word that app on the, in france. it's not really surprising because frances, unfortunately has not understood anything and still a big supporter, ukraine. so it's, it's not really a surprise to the training and parliament has failed to rally the votes needed to back a resolution to continue zalinski that reign in office. the european commissioners were there to see the defeat, but the text of the failed resolution, we're seeing here declared that zalinski should keep his grip on presidential power . but only $218.00 deputies raised their hands in support. well, short of the necessary 226th of the landscape. that term of office expired on may

20th last year ending his legitimate position. as commander still some european officials are rallying to keep him on board. of course, during the war time, yukon have elections. many countries having their constitutions point so that you contact the elections and why? because in the election job is, you know, fights between each other not. so in a situation where you have actually the outside enemies that you have to focus your strength. a former ukrainian parliament adviser who served at the country is u. s. embassy told us this may be assigned the last legitimate, legitimate official body. and ukraine has lost support for zalinski to it is a big show that does it actually does his face, but he might lose all his power soon. and the problem and today is the old gentleman body and the print government that can send to you. it's so more i can continue to those issues was the russian federation with the united states,

as well as the cabinet of printer servers when you train, which is being appointed by the palm of the plaintiffs was a problem and for presidential public until the once due to the computer to cover them. so we're kind of say the what, what is happening today? the wes, this one is the last, these last these trying to go against the west today when expression the expression in washington. and a lot of the leaves are be fed by that and also so they are showing also their political so called support for the warranty or no support. they don't care about democracy. plan has no democracy in the last 10 years that has total dictatorship for the last 3 years after the war began. we saw that this is the destruction of the opposition that nobody was fired. we saw the, the closing golf position channels in your brain. everybody was flying to europe in the west and the western media. they don't care about democracy. they're fair about their own. so called democracy. they don't care about anybody else think they have

. there's no democracy in europe. there's no democracy in america. there's a democracy in the west, only the people who are in power and have the money to move the rules of the politics their use seems to want to continue this conflict and even at the expense of its relationship with the us, which is trying to get a piece of process going, i want to play a clip from the danish prime minister. let's take a lesson. i understand that many people think a peaceful solution or a ceasefire. sounds like a good idea, but we run the risk of that piece and ukraine could actually be more dangerous than the war that is going on now and his health more dangerous than illness. i would like to clarify with copenhagen as so peace is more dangerous than laura. now that's the reality. we're living in a state of 1984. what are your thoughts on that statement? they understood the problem is these people think that the sense that i try to undermine the piece to go change some stuff. so they're trying to do that as a long strategy undermining that piece of or she's that's what you're trying to do

. and i think this morning, so the dentist prime minister, she uh, why don't, why don't you say more would come to her doorstep for god forbid. i think she would say the opposite. what you say to a free frame because that actually for not dying there. yeah. there are stomach sites personally, praying for teaching and creating a military out of sight and they're dying, but possibly that actually isn't the garden so she can say whatever she wants. and i think this is the reality that these people are warm monitors. all right, let's discuss this further. now with my panel of guess sound to do some now to the left of the screen is michael. lucy is a former 16 senior security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of defense in the middle. there is one valium, so me, he's an international relations, political commentator and author, and on the right of the screen is nelson wong. he's the vice chairman at the shanghai center for impact and international studies. great to have you all on the program with us one day late. i'll start with you. the vote and ukrainian apartment

was designed to reaffirm black the landscape presidential powers and it fell short of doing exactly that, which is probably not. what does the less be was hoping for? what do you think is next for him? do you think you'll be able to hold onto power after this? well i, i don't think so because if you look at the conflict it's, it's winding down. notice it's going towards it and he's trying very hard to ensure that the conflict a prolong the caustic as much as possible because that's is only avenue of holding on to power without the conflict. then it forces the conversation which is already started around elections, for example, this and you create and he understands that if any election was to be held today in you create, he would not be you would not create a press to if you create anymore. so he is trying very hard once it arrives to hold onto a pallet itself in the last where your dog because his hold onto power is,

is attached to the, to the ongoing conflict. once the conflict winds died and finishes as it's about to so will his hold onto power and his presidency. and i, i see in the understand that very well michael trump is pushing for the landscape to hold elections, suggesting his approval is as low as 4 percent zalinski. um certainly is trying to hold his grounds. um, saying that his support is much more than that. of course we remember 3 years ago when everybody in the west was gushing over zalinski. but of quite obviously the support has fallen off quite dramatically since then. where's their crystal ball say about zillow is, gets future um, he just received this vote of no confidence. uh, and he either steps down or it will depend upon the military, the military,

if the military wants to bring him up, that he will stay illegally. uh and uh, but what if he wants to follow up the, the, the rule of law if you will, and saw him. and if the rado still has any semblance of authority left, then they will call for early elections. and so they can get the peace process underway. there needs to be in there is a serious problem of who legitimately signs uh on, on the dotted line on the go see agents. but i think were inch for a at a precarious time here. internally inside of ukraine, the either either the stages, a basic basic crew in the military bathroom or the, or, or the steps down or the, uh, they put it in in the, the hulu. what do you call it? the right uh, goes ahead and, and, uh, and holds a cost for early elections. it's gotta be done if they want to progress this thing

. but they, they, the outcome is a fait accompli it whatever, whatever truck and you decide is basically going to be what the terms of the negotiations are nelson? well, some european officials, for example, kaya, tell us support zalinski is ongoing presidency, even though his term has expired. even without holding elections saying things to be effective while it's a, it's a time of war and, and he has a right to counsel the elections. do you think this is a blatant disregard for, for democracy as well? i think it's almost a irrelevant what other european countries may say actually, or some of the leaders may say, i think the whole chessboard has been per around upside down was donald trump, the coming into the white house this time. so uh, i think there are several,

the avenues we have to look at. one is, for most of the european leaders all the it leaks when you have cultivated mistaken narrative for almost all of your political lives. it is difficult to, to exit the mental cage. you have been locking yourself updated. so this russell, phobia this a, i mean up to now right off to this munich security conference, i think the europeans do have a fully woken up. why this is happening and happening so fast. and then also on the other hand, we look at the u. s. yes. uh, president. trump is quite resolute in putting into them to this and will with his power. and of course, it is good news for, i think, for everyone that the conflict in ukraine can be brought to that. and that's one

way or the other. and so i think overall, i think the whole world understands that the days of the lensky is number. but what i would like to draw everybody's a page check is that this is, that's the most delicate moment. just because anything could happen and the people in the front should not be carried away, particularly all the negotiations from it should not be carried away by uh, what's happening because nothing is as it seems because there are so many elements that are stu moving. and so people are, have to be executed extremely cautious right now. perhaps then deadlines, like i'm only if i want to go back to you for a moment because we will know the former u. k prime minister boris johnson was instrumental in keeping this conflict in

going, when we could have had a peace agreement and april 2022. but johnson spoke a couple of days ago. it has something interesting to say. i want to play a clip of that 1st. we are late, let's face it. what wage in your proxy will wait? your proxy will, but we're not giving our proxies. the ability to do the job and let and for, for years and years now we've been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind their backs as it has been cruel. it is being cruel. michael. what are your thoughts on the submission? well, he's just admitted, lovely knowing all along a lucky even he and excuse me, victoria knew when it admit that they they, they basically coaxed ukraine not to sign them is to understand a so in order to give you credit, it's time to are from the west and at their so they're just admitting what we,

what we, we, we've already seen and 4 with our own eyes over time. but i think that we're going to be seeing these events moving very, very rapidly now. and i think the, the, the, the fact that um, a zaleski is attempting to hold on the truck was right in one. and so it was manson in terms of the, the europeans in terms of their outlook on democracy up with, you know, during world war 2, the united states hill elections for heaven sakes. and, and, and we went on roosevelt was re elected. however, in this case, this is a real sign that democracy really is not, has not really taken home in europe. and, you know, that's supposed to be one of our basic premises for, for the very foundation of nato. and, and the, and the creation of the you that they hold on the democratic principles that they,

the us been keeping turkey out of the you forever since 1987 because they didn't live up to a certain democrats democratic principles. so these, these are hypocrites and, and, and so when it gets down to the cross, they're not living up to the standards for which they said for everybody else in the world. and that's why you got to see a demise, perhaps in the whole structure of western democracy as we now know it and, and also the, the, the, the way of the united states, particularly as use that as it's basis for driving wage in other countries. and, and spreading a gemini can, and i think what trump is doing is basically conceding that we are back now involved in a multi polar world war. and this is what it is, what i'm seeing emerging from all of this chaos that said,

that's before us. and then you're going to see a different complexity and you're, you're going to probably see the device of nato. and you're going to see some other actions being occurring here in the very near future with the re establishment of us russian relations. because these are super powers talking to one another and look at a proxy such as ukraine. it was just that it was just that, it was just the means of trying to, to rein in russia and, and continue to russia. and this administration thankfully, has, has rejected that notion and sure there, there will be, can, there will be competition. but at the same time, there's going to be more cooperation in the future. and if you're going to live in a nuclear world, that's what you'd be up one day late. zalinski has refused to assign an economic deal under trump terms and says, king of basically doesn't o washington. anything which is interesting considering the billions and billions that washington has actually provided at the table. if you have ever gets there,

what kind of power do you think you pray and actually has to negotiate? you know, they, they, they don't, they don't have any need much power now, especially since the election of present donald trump. so europe as well, has very little influence at this point. this is now last week between the us and russia, coming up with, with a deal that i believe that ukraine once they realize that you will pass no into it . so nobody has no power to help them out. then they will be more receptive to the americans, for example, they're now starting to be more accepting of even the african piece piece class that chris, the pool. so in the data team of african heads of states going, it goes in rush. i presented that piece black, which at the time president zelinski was not open to to that plan which spoke

about things like security guarantees, but it's awful for russia and so on. so now we're starting to see ukraine coming to south africa and go to the applicant confidence and say ok, the piece, the www. that you presented about 2 years ago. can you screen and speak about that now? so it is very at the time it wasn't possible because the, by the ministration, you know, did buy them at the station was financing a year, and then emboldening them to make really ridiculous demands endemic overstates and table, leaving the dose aging table. so now this is a whole new era with reason and logic, hesitate, consensus dates. so i do think it's, it's a last take off a dying pause. they will be more receptive budnick and was accept the, the, the, and the number of agreements that the americans and then other types of stuff with

a present forward. because they're not being involved in any more likely. well, by the 5 digit administration. nelson trump envoy, steve, what pops says that the spring 2022 is simple agreement which was almost ready to be signed. it was about an hour away from being signs before it was cuddled by the west that it could actually act as a guide post. now for a peace deal to wrap up the complex in ukraine, but what do you think washington is ultimately aiming for now? i mean, especially given the western meddling that's initially scheduled. that disagreement . uh yes, i think uh from uh, oral the media i think is quite clear to the rest of the worlds that russia no longer trusts what was agreed before. not to mention the agreement in turkey, not to even mation means one love to know. so what russia has being

a aiming for right now, as i've read, is that it's a, it's the last piece and that's an overall structure. it's not only about you, craig, it's about the, the, the future to set the tones of set the parameters of future security at a much logic context. so. so i think, whatever is a lensky is doing, is trying to do now is uh, is really relevant. and, and i think this is that people who are stu, or, you know, want to be the proxy is of a, of another one about of the, the super power. i think they have to think twice the, the ending of one politician is nothing, basically. but what about the people? but someone who is offered to himself to be the proxy of another one of another

country. but what about the people you offer your whole country to be the proxy to flight of proxy will look at what has springs happening to ukraine. the country has been part of the part and that's the fact. so i think we should not be expecting a russia to be solved in the negotiation in the upcoming negotiations, even though we don't know, of course, what's, what's actually being discuss, been talked about. but i believe that russia is going to be very 1st. my goal is do you think you are paying leaders have encouraged zelinski to stand up against trump, even at the risk of their own relationship with the united states. and how do you think that will likely play out a? well, it's not gonna, it's not gonna fly. ultimately, although we see storm or, and from britain and even the french advocating the sending even true sent to

ukraine. that they, they basically talking about continue know more. well, that's not, that's not a solution to this process. so let's get into your p is that 3 years to, to figure it out? how does administered, but instead they went on a different approach to different ideological approach, which was, as i said, to, to continue russia and all, and maybe even try to have coverage the change ultimately. that was a goal. and, and they, they were, they didn't mention any words about that. and so it's changed. and yet the europeans to this day are still talking, no more putting troops in the ukraine, not as peacekeepers, but to help ukraine fight a war which will always promulgate hostilities. so i think that the direction and the trust of what's going on right now above both,

they basically as a trunk level has to go forward. and because these other actors didn't do anything constructive but want to continue. or i think that the, there's an outside line. yeah. they're, they're being consulted. but they're being informed that this is the way it's going to be. now with trump. wanted to buy into minerals and what have you, that, that locks in the ukraine in one says as a vassal state and, and consequently they're going to have to go along with whatever decisions are made by the, by the, by the superpowers. and the same applies to your, your, it really has very little cloud in any of this at this point. because they don't have the, the, the off and the ability to stand up to russia militarily. and they've demonstrated

that even collectively. and as i said earlier, i think it's the beginning of the end of nato a. okay, we're gonna leave it there. um awesome, thank you. my. thanks to my guess, michael maloof, he's a former senior, a security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of defense when dealing with so many international relations, political commentator and author and nelson, long vice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and international studies as well. as valid, i club expert, thank you to, to all of you. thank you. all right, well, the general assembly is in such a now discussing the complex in that ukraine. let's listen into that. mister president. mister president, excellency's colleagues today marks 3 years since the escalation of the russia ukraine war. we have all been concerned about the suffering and ukraine and the wars effects on the rest of the world. since the start of the war 11 years ago, the united nations has repeatedly condemned russia as blatant violations of the un

charter. multiple resolutions of the general assembly have demanded that russia withdraw its forces from ukraine. those resolutions have failed to stop the war. it has now dragged on for far too long, and it far too terrible a cost to the people in ukraine in russia, and beyond generations of ukrainians and russians have died unnecessarily. as the war has brought the world closer to a nuclear confrontation, the longer it continues, the greater the suffering for both nations. this war must end. now. it is time for member states to return to the purposes and principles of the charter, mainly to maintain international peace and security, including through the peaceful settlement of disputes to mr. president. as we gather today on this 3rd anniversary, what we need is

a resolution marking the commitment from all un member states to bring a durable end to the war. the draft resolution submitted by the united states makes this very point. our draft employers, a swift end to the conflict, and further urges lasting peace between ukraine and russia. this is what is needed now, and we urge all member states, including ukraine and russia to join us in this effort. a simple historic statement from the general assembly that looks forward not backwards. a resolution focused on one simple idea, ending the war. a path to peace is possible mister president. that is why the united states oppose putting forward another resolution . and that is why we cannot support ukraine's resolution. and we urges withdrawal

in favor of a strong statement committing us to end the war and work towards a lasting peace. the united states also requests the general assembly take action on the united states, proposed resolution immediately following consideration of the ukraine drafted resolution. i thank you. i assigned to the distinguished representative of the united states. i know give the floor to the distinguished representative of the russian federation to introduce the draft amendment, a slash e as i from 11 slash sale, the 1200 of use put input. so that was rainmaker lydia singlish. colleagues, today we are witnessing historic events with.
