11:01 am
explosives. strikes the russian consulate in the front of the city of martha and moscow pauses a terror attack. prussian intelligence services gave warning just a week ago that european commissions could become the print in the target. the you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. a war of resolutions is gripping united nations headquarters in new york this monday, with united states facing off with the you and urging the general assembly to back it's draft on resolving the ukraine crisis. the us has rejected the recycled ukrainian version in favor of new language proposing a lasting peace. a path to peace is possible mister president. that is why the united states oppose putting forward another
11:02 am
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. it's all right, let's get more now for marty correspondent on this stuff. so you have a lot of this here in the studio now. last year you in general assembly a session is still under way. what's been said so far? well, from what we've just had the last 4 so mentioned the multiple recommendations that demanded a withdrawal of troops. the that was proposed that the general assembly actually failed and will the, this will vote the wild place the to the new correct confrontation. and it's time to maintain peace need a what is um, they also said the us also mention that it can not support the ukraine proposed
11:03 am
resolution. we also heard from the russian side, who if i see that you've been to actually stated that a ukraine's the re shame a launch the attack, i should one back up to 2014. and he mentioned the ukraine to launch the attack on the russian population. and the misc agreements would actually have ended that will, but actually the west to use this time to arm ukraine and i use that for, for the 2 spots. the conflict. and, you know, she also mentioned that nato is expansion. eastwood's had strategic risks for i showed that for when override the red lines were crossed, russia had to spout, especially in that special military operation and ukraine. and he also mentioned the key of as on the break of military defeat, and it refused the key of refused us to talk about peace. and that ukraine actually became some sort of private ministry company fighting against russia for the benefit of the west. on, you know, he also mentioned that the draft proposed by the us is actually
11:04 am
a step in the right direction. yeah, i thought it was quite point it when the ceiling vents, he has said that russia laid out it's red lines and nobody listens. no one to the brushes seriously, and so they were really were, were left with no other option. unless there can you break down for us? what this draft resolution that washington has proposed is all about. while there are actually 2 recitations one, the one is proposed by washington on the other one is proposed by ukraine alongside the european union of the differences like us use this less critical language when it comes to russia. special been issue oppression in ukraine and on country the draft resolution from ukraine on european union actually refers to the so called full scale innovation on demand and media as an unconditional withdrawal full russian forces. and you know, early a mock reveal actually reiterated that the main aim of the american resignation is actually peace. the united states has proposed a simple historic resolution in the united nations that we urge all member states to support in order to chart
11:05 am
a pass to peace. this resolution is consistent with president trump's view that the un must return to its founding purpose as enshrined and the un charter to maintain international peace and security, including through the peaceful settlement of disputes. we strongly believe that this is the moment to commit to ending the war as well. we also know so far as the washington's resolution actually impose a swift end to the conflict as well and the that what reports that us resolution bull nose includes uh, cleaning rushes, the rest in this conflict. but this is obviously just reports on previously. washington actually reportedly demanded k of to withdrawal. it's resolution the one with the you and replace it with the american one to which key of office you refused to do so. what support is there for washington's you and move here? well, what we know so far as well. again, according to the media reports, they're full countries that supported washington's resolution. and they are north
11:06 am
mustering at georgia, israel, and hungry. and apparently, according to the media that was co sponsoring the resolution and according to the hunger and for administer hungry was the co move out of the resolution proposed by the united states. us and uh, hunger in for administer will say, stated that hungry will support it in the voting. and he also mentioned that you need us are actually escalating the conflict we will prevent pro. busy or liberal european leaders from to p during the us russia agreement. that brings hope for peace in europe. and according to the one general assembly washington of reportedly, as for a no vote for the resolution from what we see now. obviously there is a class in between the 2 recommendations, but we'll have to wait and see how everything was going to turn out later on. right, amount of stuff we have a lot in the thank you of the the current in parliament has failed to
11:07 am
rally the votes needed to back the resolution to continue. zalinski is rein in office and european commissioners were there to see the defeats. the text of the failed resolution, st here declared that zaleski should keep his grip on presidential power. but only $218.00 deputies raised their hands in support. well, short of the necessary 226 boats salons cuz 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 elections, you always, you know, fights between each other, not. so in a situation where you have actually the outside and a means that you have to focus your strength. a former your current in parliament adviser who served at the countries the u. s. embassy told us this may be assigned
11:08 am
the last 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 bought in the print government that can continue it, so more can continue. so the issue is, was the russian federation with the united states, as well as the cabinet of printer stores. we train, which is being informed by the problem of the plants, was a problem in for presidential public until the wants to the computer to cover them . so we have to understand the what, what is happening today? the wes, this one is the last these last is trying to go against the wes today of an expression . the expression on washington. and a lot of the leaves are be fed by that hand also. so they are showing also their political so called support for the warranty or no support. they don't care about
11:09 am
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 this the destruction of opposition. i remember you, what squire, who saw the, the closing golf position channels in the frame. 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 listen. 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
11:10 am
like to clarify with copenhagen. this piece is more dangerous than laura. now that's the reality. we're living at a straight out of 1984. what are your thoughts on that statement? and the answer that the problem is these people think that they can try to undermine the piece to go change some stuff. so they're trying to do stuff as a lot of these strategies undermine the piece of goal. sure, that's what you're up in front of you and i face this morning. so the dentist prime minister, she uh what, what would you say more would come to her doorstep for god forbid. i think she would say the opposite. what you say get a free frame because that actually for an a dime there. yeah, there a center sites personally, praying for teaching and creating a military out of sight and they're dying, but possibly that are citizens are not dying. so she can say whatever she wants, and i think this is the reality that these people are warmongers on out to france, where the russian consulate in more se has come under attack. officials have
11:11 am
confirmed with the explosions and the russian foreign ministry is called the aggression an act of terror. nearly a week ago. moscow intelligent services issued warnings that ukraine is planning terrorist attacks in europe to disrupt the peace tax. 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 it, 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 off. we know that there was a stolen car, found nearby, with a reaction from us gore vidal way of foreign ministry spokesman. maria's a harv upset that this has all the hallmarks of a terrorist attack. and not moscow is demanding
11:12 am
a thorough investigation from french authorities and from france itself. here's more from the conflict itself. regarding the incidence that up on his mode at 7 30 am local time, there's 3 on identified explosive devices were thrown at the consulate general. so you to have them exploded and one did not. and even during the emergency, services were immediately called and the police and a fire brigade arrived 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. there are no casualties. 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 are underway. we will also follow the development of events. yes, of course we were aware of the threat and light of the situation. so we were prepared that what she is referring to there at the end is a series of warnings that were received by the russian intelligence services which
11:13 am
they made. public message is coming from europe. the cube is actually planning a series of provocations against russian diplomatic missions 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 the s v r was actually very specific about the warnings that it receives because we're talking about terrorist attacks like cubans 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 on desperation, as they see this is coming to an end. we also know that russia right now is
11:14 am
increasing security measure. it measures at all diplomatic emissions for now and friends, but we'll see of course, how the store develops to a political analyst, serial the launch raise says key of will 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 problems. uh and they were trying to find any kind of solutions they knew kind of means to sabotage the piece. the oaks 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 happening in france. it's not really surprising because frances,
11:15 am
unfortunately has not understood anything and stay on the beach border, b crane. and so it's, it's not really a surprise the, the, you and the u. k. are set to introduce yet another round of anti russian sanctions . suggesting the package is the largest of its kind that to date. all right, let's get more on this now and speak to in proud of former borders. senior diplomat, an officer of a mr. in moscow. her british diplomacy failed in russia in both the you and the u. k. are gearing up for more sanctions on russia. egg were given the repeated rounds that we've seen so far, many sam, boomerangs, back at the west. what do you expect to come of this slightest effort? we'll find that it's a 60 to mind of sanctions from uses a little because less as it can be. seems to be before we move a bus the compared to us up in the us and say, sanctions haven't worked. and they've been in place for over 10 years now. not just
11:16 am
it says, thoughts of, of the war. it feels like a loss, task, effort to distract expansion from what donald trump is trying to do on base talks to bring this worked on it. yeah, it really seems the west is adamant at keeping this approach, but is it at the cost of their own economies? because what we've seen is russia has become more successful at avoiding this kind of economic warfare. we just saw the results in the general elections last night where the a, if the ball to one over 20 percent of the by told in the bottom of jeremy jeremy is up with my sis, that comic publish cost by, for example, customer supplies of bushing pipeline gas, lots of decisions that you've been policy make is take, seem to have more harm on the economy then on, on russia itself. and i see now is the time to think about a new plan, a new way for the impulse find the bringing peace to ukraine. most sanctions,
11:17 am
you know, really, but make it make a difference of the stage of the game a, a in the us trump is in power now as we well now. and he seems to be looking to resolve the conflict, which of course he promised to do as he was campaigning for president. he's ripped apart biden's tactics, basically, and fear writing all of europe in the process of calling an end to the conflict. it's a remarkable narrative that calling for peace would enraged people. but here we are . do you think americans partners will eventually have to follow washington's lead? well, they will, and they're already starting to fall a little bit reluctant. they should be seen from these kind of advance of sanctions . even the polls have been suggesting that zalinski is, you know, gets on board with, with trumps a piece of time. in a french of the movie, even the hard line bridge 40 the hardest line of all the big you paid. the nation's said yesterday that i see we have to recognize needs to negotiations with
11:18 am
a present page. and that's the 1st time in that case, but is recognize the need. but, but he gauge with you involved in regression to kind of resolve these difficulties to rephrase so, you know, the us is by far the biggest buy a here, the big capital t sides of may to a spending but a couple of shots and like it, or not, you know, the pin consensus is slow, the going to have to ship behind trump. yeah, we've really seen a big change of rhetoric um, even up to you and, and just the last hour with the us calling for a, you know, a resolution for a positive piece as opposed to the rhetoric we've seen over the last 3 years. what do you think are the chances that americans desire for the war to end eventually becomes the leading voice? because again, we are seen a big push back against this. but i think the push back is, is kind of lost off even in the nice and by the sanctions. they were talking about
11:19 am
a negotiated set to model. so even the pin that tube is changing, recognizing the need for a negotiate assessment to the was a, the trump, or very much leads on this and you know what, we have limited power to kind of take your sense of, of punch. i don't see you being countries must be increasing that funding simple for ukraine to along this need. this one he, for, i think you all to the have to come a line move on the americans doing and was slowly seeing these tectonic plates start to shift before wise. you know, right now the, even though you know, you've been state some of the still breathing, lots of cult steve about, you know, i was so much as both and, and the, know, and the tribes. but yes, you know, the us, as you say is up ended situation in a now going to grabbing the not now to buy the stuff in the neck. you know, as we say the, you can a, you push even more sanctions on rush. so what do you think the chances are america
11:20 am
will drop all of its sanctions and do you think that russian us can repair relations that were essentially dad was by then or, or do you think this is going to be a real issue going forward because of course trump is only going to be in power for 4 years has, has the us reverse of lead damage that possible relationship with russia. it was, you know, bad something may be past 4 years, the cost, the scale for the j, the vast going to continue that. so let's see, you know, what happens there, but i think the us, unless you've made a really good start with the initial piece, talks in saudi arabia last week to meet music. come in to pete. but so again, up at all, i know she calls and others, you know, it was like positive about that. i think the heading, you know, i direction. city sanctions going to believe has to be part of the, the kind of piece plan, new comp, just the, you know, to expect to wash it, to kind of see for peace when it's kind of winning on the battlefield and not getting get these incentives invitation. so successfully must be part of that kind
11:21 am
of piece plan, but i get the impression that you may have cars are kind of fighting that into the thinking. anyway, how surprised are you in, by the difference of approach now between the us and europe and resolving the conflict between russia and ukraine? because of course, they were on the same page up until trump became president, but it seems like europe is willing to, you know, damage that relationship with the us to keep supporting your trade no matter what the most of the plan is to be. clearly the, when the came us so close the lined on to bind in his terrible policy if by much provoking uh, you know, this one and extending the bus. but sounds quite page in the election campaign to buy these plans. basically come as no surprise to us, and the thing always say now will the noise that's being generated by now on the pin side is just the kind of final you know, death. now hopefully i can of failed policy as
11:22 am
a gradually kind of shift positions to a line that present some of the huge can you comes challenges because you have to accept that they failed. so that process of kind of giving up on the boss and they're basing something you may still taken of a 6 months, you know, the transition, but that transition seems definitely to of science is already. mm. the okay. prime minister care storm or has called for security guarantees to ukraine. um many people though, believe these measures actually would undermine any possibility for peaceful negotiations. what, what's behind that? you think a few kind want to share. this is the new they wouldn't be of a invited again, but the cost of also want to share this is as well on it side. so really, it's the, you know, the real kind of negotiate isn't this, which is the americans and the russians and some point, you know, the cravings to agree what the shape of that feature piece. it will look like.
11:23 am
pretty good news kind of get into phasing in this from of a weak position. you know, but ultimately that the shape of any kind of agreement on piece in ukraine will be called back between the crate and most yourself with the us. and probably is donald trump the suggest as in the vast country like china involved as well, i think, gosh, the u. k. as a base mobility shaping what the final deal looks like. mm hm. you know, the british prime minister is also calling for the us to stand by ukraine with security guarantees. and that really of is kind of in conflict with washington's clear goal to end the, the conflicts in ukraine, but by speaking with, with russian and trying to, for the past past the piece. how do you think the us could force the hand of the european politicians to change or rather i couldn't even lift their sanctions on russia? well, the name of the us is kind of nobody engaging here the till it is discussions with,
11:24 am
with, with lesson. i think that's probably the only surprise for me that the us will kind of set the agenda for this. i assess and i think it may have to be if you, if you need is, will be forced to kind of fall into line or they think there's any sense of them being forced to do that. so i think it would be a difficult position for the europeans to maintain if, if the us is pushing for some of the sanctions relief on its side in your you know, doesn't do the same. and in any case, you opinion, sanctions were different from the american sanctions. they have to be renewed every 6 months as you probably know. so it could, you know, seem as a ceasefire as a grade in ukraine. then countries in century a like congress of like a romanian must be last year it will be will have a right to veto the sanctions going forward anyway. so i think actually enough to be the sanctions, has a console start to top off to any any piece pines agreed. right, well it with our and proud from our british senior diplomat and author of
11:25 am
a mr. in moscow. how british diplomacy failed in russia and great to have you on. thank you. thank you. all right says top and diplomats like i love rob is in turkey where he met with president erewhon and foreign minister for the on the officials that touched on bilateral and global issues. notably, the conflict a new crime lab, rob underscored moscow's position, that it will not accept a repeat of the deception that saki evidence western backers double cross moscow on the escalation deal in april 2022, and insisted its military will keep advancing until russia's terms are met to you so could i usually we are ready to negotiate with ukraine, europe and any other intermediaries that you would send in a rush or will not be satisfied with the option of immediately freezing the conflict for margaret this we will stop the fighting only when the settlement negotiations, we produce a clear farm result to that suits must go to the position that moscow is currently
11:26 am
taking. is one that is trying to facilitate dialogue and discourse and negotiate an end to this conflict. whereas the average dream is in a position where some would suggest is trying to hustle the united states out of more money in that statement. so the level of said that's uh, the average dream. of course, it did funnel a great deal of money in terms of military and financial support and the current position that so that's, he is taking so suggests that he is trying to leverage his current position, leverage the fates, or at least the prospect of negotiations to put an end to the conflict on the line just for and more financial or military support on the russian 4 minutes. it was quite vocal in his position about what comes next, as well as what happened in the past. the put me in the president, putin said several times that in april 2022 in his danville. we were just one hour away from signing an agreement. but then british prime minister boris johnson prohibited ukraine from doing so, could i answer later?
11:27 am
ukrainian official representatives. he publicly confirmed this fact the ukraine was ready to sign, but london and washington stopped it with you, a desire to send and today, march 3 years since the start of the ukraine conflict. turkey is committed to establishing peace in the region from the very 1st day we have been advocating for a diplomatic solution. we want to put an end to this conflict as soon as possible that we did everything we could to make the 2 sides meet for talks and his stand bowl. one more great matter of concern that was on the agenda was of course, the idea of security guarantees. and looking back at the assembled talks in 2022, there were guarantees that were provided by the russian federation that were facilitated by regional partners, as well as guarantees that were put forth by the head of the ukrainian delegation at the time. and those, of course, guarantees were taken into consideration concerns all across the board. most important knew, of course, was that the prospects that ukraine cannot and will not join the nato alliance. and
11:28 am
that was, of course, a fundamental red line. one that the ukrainian delegation had initially agreed to, but was essentially backtracked by western pressure, much like the situation of ukraine. it appears moscow was in a position to facilitate negotiations and discussions with that of the interim us here in government. there was a great deal of the emphasis about the transitional period, and there's a great deal of discourse with respect to the united states and its position within syria. more importantly, of course, in russian form is the 2nd level of did tough touch up on the topic of us basis within syria, as well as us support. but more importantly, highlighted the importance of the territory integrity of the country. let's assume . well, even if it's a signal before the power change in syria, even though in the us military presence played a negative role there, this will stay illegitimately occupied areas. and we're plundering the syrian people's resources suits you, then they use the revenues to fund the positive state structures created in the
11:29 am
northeast of serious issues in particular to support the courtesy. separate is of course, in addition to syria, the topics of palestine were also on the table, the turkish for a minister, how gut feeling was actually quite volcom, adamant, and unconscious position. but he also went one step further highlighting something he says, is something that is not said aloud, but he decided to say so. recent events have shown that nothing yahoo in his government want to expand their influence and provoke more crises and evict palestinians from their lands. beside jordan, syria 11 on israel wants to weaken these countries too, because they want to prevent these states from strengthening their military potential. sullivan, but they say we don't feel safe, so they continue to expand against muslims. and when they can't do it on their own, they call the americans. this is their policy, a risky policy that can lead to serious consequences. i'm a big company that is listening to the responses provided by both foreign ministers
11:30 am
. we understand that there are interests that align with moscow interests that align with unclear, but more importantly, based on the, on the position they presented in that joint press conference. there is a great deal of emphasis on working together, much like in syria in palestine as well as in ukraine. the general's consensus between the 2 sides is that the 2 sides must work together to ensure that there is stability within the region and are elements that threaten to destabilize that. and that in itself is of course important. and one more important thing that the russian 4 minutes instead of grade level did say, is that despite our disagreements with turkey, it's important that we come together and have discourse. and that in and of itself is a civilized way forward. and that is of course what on career. so you think that is what must go seeking with respect to the conflicts and ukraine as well. so that will do it for me for now, but this stay with us. my colleague una neil is in next in half an hour with more news by.
