the, the financial is one of the undisputed leaders in reserve. so these are levels, we are happy to work collaboratively with any foreign products, including american. vladimir putin weighs in on the rush for rare earth, for the pits to consider joint projects on any russian territories with the u. s. and the idea is that code by donald trump for world peace and lasting peace. the russian president also hailed the american leaders approach to ukraine. paul saying, that's the lensky is an obstacle to ending the conflict. president tom was in the house, but he wants to make peace, by the way. so do we. and as soon as possible,

and the kind of head of the machine is pending in the way of achieving that goal. plus, there is no criticism of russia at the un security council for the 1st time and 3 whole years as the top world body adoption, american drafted resolution on ukraine. however, the same draft is heavily distorted by european powers before being passed. that the general assembly, which even it is clear that today the militarize in europe, is the only international player that wants the war to continue and is resisting any realistic initiatives to settle the conflict. the just afternoon here in los gal, russia in your watching or t international. my name's donald quarter. welcome to the program. now ukraine is not the only country where the us can find rare earth minerals. russia has a lot of them and president pollutant has offered to jointly develop the resources

with washington under donald trump. the arrows, metals are very important. they constitute key resources for more than the sectors of the economy. so far we have done little in this area and we need to do more. we wouldn't be ready to offer administrative resources for work in this direction to all americans partners. when i say partners, i mean not only administrative and governmental structures, but also companies should they show interest in collaborating with us. we undoubtedly have significantly more resources of this kind than ukraine. let me emphasize that. russia is one of the undisputed leaders in reserves of these are they on earth models? these projects require substantial capital investment. we are happy to work collaboratively with any ford and fondness including americans, by the way, regarding the new territories, the same applies. we are ready to attract for in partners to our so called new

historical territories that have been returned to the russian federation. there are also certain reserves and to the, all the get more on the story now are joined live in the studio by r t correspondence alignment issue har. my mike, can you tell us a little bit more about what vladimir putin said regarding this cooling of relations between russia in the united states? of course, this is a very drastic and important change considering how stagnant relations between moscow and washington were under the bite and administration. but with this new administration, it's and it's new interest in diplomacy and restoring. relations. ross has made it clear that it is ready to work with foreign partners when it comes to rare earth metals development, including the ones in the new russian territories. now what's an also suggest a joint work between washington and moscow when it comes to aluminum production, specifically in the cross? my are region. and the russian president also held

a meeting with russian officials discussing this very same issue in which he describes the metals as a strategic reserve viable for russia's mutual competitiveness and economic development. and he also highlighted the seats in new materials and chemistry projects, which essentially tackled the complete cycle of the where are, where every minerals of industry, from extraction to the production of high tech does. now, was even more interesting is the fact that this meeting comes or came as a trump expressed interest in developing economic relations with russia in this industry. you know, we're trying to do some digging out a lot of things and we want to have massive, rare is a very large section of the largest in german land is by far

very very busy for world peace and lasting page. now it seems like it's all about economic cooperation now and cooperation and partnership are you feel fund of the discussion, a huge change from before and now washington and moscow are making most towards one another and they're ready to better relations between one another. but yeah, that's mineral deal definitely has a lot to do with the bigger picture of what the united states and donald trump actually want out of ukraine at the end of the day. and this has to do with something else that a lot of our uprooting was asked at this interview is let's take a listener. what do you have to say about that? i think he wants to improve the political environment in ukraine to consolidate society, to create conditions for the survival of that you king in states and on the whole it is not so much in favor of russia hospital. we have a conflict with

a cut and switch him, he just for the benefit of degree in itself. and those are an interest in words from for them to put. and he also added that donald trump has a free hand on ukraine. unlike european leaders, russia seems to see that the united states is looking for peace and strengthening relations that and this was the interview of lot of put in was also ask whether he believes the trump is taking action based on emotions. now his response is, the approach of his american counterpart is rational. it is donald trump acting on a motion. well, of course not just as naturally to the cotton head of the key for she gives the reason to show these emotions. but from what i said earlier, something completely different emotions, these actions are based not on emotions, but the cold calculation on the rational approach to the current situation. and then the current situation, to be honest, we would be interested in him sitting there. and for the,

the come posing that regime with which we are in the conflict. now you have leaders of 2 of the world's most powerful countries, almost seeing eye to eye and hopefully with joint efforts and joint actions. it seems like this is pap heading towards a piece and moving forward. well, donald trump also said that the lensky was a dictator without elections, and vladimir putin is not exactly the landscape biggest fan either. so could you tell us a bit about that? yes. well, donald trump cold as a landscape, a dictator as a risk to this, when to add the both leaders continues, lot of and put in is not very fond of the man either. while speaking above loved him, is the lensky be russian. president believes that this is becoming a toxic, said the one that is not necessarily good for you quite as soon this is low and the keys are caught and had the key effort. she is becoming a toxic figure for the armed forces all ukraine,

because he's giving ridiculous folders dictated not by media type of considerations, but by political considerations. and it is not clear what they are based on. this leads to on justifiably hiawatha is even though it's a very high, it's a catastrophic loss for the ukranian army. it becomes toxic for society as a whole, among other things incumbent president tom cars in the house. but he wants to make peace by the way. so do we and as soon as possible and the kind of head of the machine is pending in the way of achieving that goal. that's hands the position seems to me or the president of the united states. it has nothing to do with russian interests. it's more likely in the interest of you cran, all the ukrainian states in order to preserve ukrainian state which we have nothing against this either. all little, of course, we would like this territory not to be used as a breach, had for a tax on the russian federation. not used as a hostile,

but each had for us. so that eventually turns into a friendly, neighboring state. and according to russian data, it seems that the legs is chances that went in the presidential election are essentially non. and just a day ago, the ukrainian parliament has failed to back a resolution to support lodging. there's the landscape. now russia continues to state that he wants his viewpoint as soon as possible because it loves feet, is the one that is spending in no way. interestingly enough, so while trump hold zaleski a dictator, he feels different towards bought them and put, and it seems less like listen, when the american president was asked whether he would call put in a dictator and here's, here's his response. that's the same, was a really good settlement now, while europe continues to slum russia and slammed blah, the my put in on the other hand,

it seems that washington finally has some sort of positive feelings towards russia . yeah. okay. so we know that obviously relations have cooled between russia in the united states. but where's the european union play and tall? now, when it comes to europe, of course, the situation is a little bit more complicated, but for blogger may put in, he sees it as very important for europe to be part of the negotiations process. now we must remember though, that russia never stood against that. in fact, that's what russia has been calling for for the past 3 years. but it's that europe kept on refuse, and now list that the listen at was allowed them to put in, had to say about your apples to the europeans, continued demanding the right to participate in the negotiations over ukraine. what do you make of this to? yes, this is susan. i see nothing wrong with bass. perhaps no one can demand anything here, especially from russia. bless them demand from someone else, they have demanded anything from their muscles for thousands of years and now they

are being demanded in the return. therefore, they should sit at home and think about why they leave the way they do. however, they are participation in the negotiation process is still important. we have never given up on this, and we have been discussing that with them constantly at some point on their all sorts of fire faced ideas to defeat the russia on the battlefield. v themselves refused to contact us and now europe wants to be involved, but not necessarily with an open mind, like the current us administration as they keep on something ukraine with more weapons. so how will negotiations really happen when one side wants to hear nothing from one of the parties that is involved in the conflict, as lot of are put in, has reiterated time and time again, that it has nothing against the preservation of a ukrainian sovereign states. and we were quite in state heard, it just wants to watch to stop using the territory as a threat towards washington security. so while we see we have,

we will have to wait and see how the situation will develop with europe. we do know so far that washington, on the other hand, it looks like it's headed towards peace and a strong restoration of ties or pieces. all always good news, of course that's archie corresponded to my master heart. thanks for bringing us those details. now issue inside senior editor john cadillac told us that washington and moscow are now focusing on each other's strengths, instead of biding arrow weaknesses. presidents like a fellow presidents who can sometimes do what the other one can't. and in this particular case, president trump looks at present important and says you can make a lot of decisions and everyone has to go along with the president. trump likes that president put and looks at president trump and says, well, you're able to do, you know, quite a bit and influenced people. um, in a way that,

that i'm not able to. and also what you think, and what you decide president trump can very much impact what the future is going to be for russia, the future we have to present important and then the future that comes with the next president of russia. so i think in that regard, they look favorably at one another, and i think there is a, a personality i think that they probably do like one another. but that doesn't mean they, each one is not going to try to make advantage of the other. each one wants to get the best of the other one, but they realize they have to do it in a very polite way. because they do have a goal. president trump, once president putting to agree to a cease fire and present a potent once president trump, to help less than some of the sanctions and re under great,

the russian federation into whether, you know, they that the, the g 7 didn't have it become g 8 again, for state visits and then and that sort of thing. so it's sort of, they try to complement each other. president vladimir potent as also welcomes donald trump's idea to massively slash the defense budgets of the world's top 3 spenders. yeah, because i cannot comment on how china will react to this. there were different approaches from the american side on strategic offensive arms and other very serious issues. therefore, this is a matter of the people's republic of china, but we could negotiate with the united states. i don't mind, i think it's a good idea. the united states could reduce its defense budget by 50 percent, and we could reduce it by 50 percent and china with van join. if it's $1.00 to $2.00, we believe that the proposal is good and we are ready to discuss it further or take

contributor carl john told me that the suggested military spending drawl down would be a historic move. a. this is a proposal for peace and for russia having one is objective on the battlefield. now it's to time to prepare for supposed and where transition, which means necessarily means drawing down of the arms. and, and this by extending this a proposal to all 3 powers. that is to be in for washington aid let's uh, let's, let's focus on the piece rather than compensation. and i think president trump also has some interest in cutting government ways. and you know, this, why do you have some villamore skills in charge of dodge, whereas china might have its own um, a strategic priority. so, you know, hooton's address this proposal right now. it's being working out, worked out between us and,

and russia like china is always welcome to joining in if they felt the need present improvement also suggested the idea of joint grant or it's development projects between russia and the united states. what do you think moscow is maybe trying to play here? what russia it's expressing, interesting piece. i mean that it's the president, trump basically pull it out of the olive branch. this is a recognition that rush that you back as one in the battlefield. so, you know, you should rush out, can't afford to be magnanimous here because russia is a victor of the complex and it's, it couldn't have hold the door open for negotiation or even possibly partnership with united states on the postal work involvement. i mean this, the walk coming change and as far as important, as i mentioned, this change has also walk them by the members of the bricks. nations who have long sought to have a peaceful negotiation. 2 ends. are you kidding conflict?

it's really come to the united states finally coming to the realization this fantasy of the feeding rush out of the battle b o is only realistic and so don't, which won't be in the business when he knows when to caught his lot losses. and that's exactly what he's doing right now. so you, you leaders are still quite resistant because they haven't invested so much of their old political capital in following along biting misplaced for proxy where you, ukraine, they stand to lose faith. and if they were to do a $180.00 degree change on this matter, but it in the and europe is not in a position to continue this conflict under all of this. this was united states more and us had decided it's time to bring it to and, and, and that's what's gonna happen. europe and zaleski, just have to accept the, i'll call on r t dot com. we've got the full breakdown of president putin's extended media

interview on the 3rd anniversary of russia's special military operation, head to our website, to check it out. and also have your say in the comments the. now for the 1st time in 3 years, the un security council has passed a resolution on ukraine without any direct criticism of russia. the draft was put forward by the trumpet administration, and moscow has appreciated washington's new stance video games. people like that is, i do see we consider the american draft resolution on the ukraine crisis. a common sense initiative, a step in the right direction, which reflects the will of the new administration of the white house to really contribute to the peaceful settlement of the conflict. it is clear that the militarize in europe today is the only player internationally which wants the war to continue and is resisting any realistic initiatives to settle the conflicts. or you can a resolution brought a neutral approach to ending the ukraine conflict while dropping the bite in error

. a claim that russia is an aggressor. 10 members of the security council voted in favor of the american draft. well, 5 european states chose to abstain. us strapped was also put to a vote at the un general assembly where it was passed after some heavy changes. european states refused to green light the document until pro ukraine points were added. after the amendments were made, the us abstain from voting on the altered draft and at the same time ukraine, and that's europe and allies presented a different bill blaming russia for the ongoing come on conflict, washington now refuses to support that narrative. 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 urge his withdrawal in favor of a strong statements committing us to end the war and work towards a lasting peace of the united states also requests the general assembly take action

on the united states, proposed resolution immediately following consideration of the ukraine drafted resolution. you mentioned political issues, they tried to ignore the fact that the winds of change in a clear demand for peace has been formed with the only obstacle being the key of your server and his european accomplices. everyone who will press the button in this hall at the moment of voting on the you. ukraine project faces a choice either to play along with zelinski and his sponsors supporting their fantasy detached from reality. or to make a clear choice in favor of practical and realistic steps that can stop military action and ukraine in the very near future do not let yourself be deceived. we need to confirm that the question shouldn't be condemned and discredited. not rewarded. our position must include substantive elements and ensure that anything we should present it should as aligns with the principles of the you and try to. this is the

russian knowledge behind the drafting solution, the back of the own. i tend to use today on behalf of the broad group of co sponsors. my delegation moves that of the hearings of introduction of all the l documents. the assembly immediately proceed to the consideration of a draft resolution, a slash b s 11 slash l 10. on the understanding that the debate we do is you immediately us to action on the dropped a solution. conservative view, as political commentator jo ultman told us that the security council resolution shows that the world is finally waking up to the reality of the ukraine conflict. the verifications are, if everyone follows it, that it should lead to a little bit of pressure being put on a piece deal between russia and ukraine. so it's a, what i, what i found interesting is that there was no nase against a resolution, but there were 5 of stains in the,

in the resolution. so i think what we're doing is we're starting to signal that there is no appetite globally for the conflict that exists between ukraine and russia. and recognizing that in, in essence, it was a proxy war between the united states and russia that they used ukraine through it . they were able to set aside the differences. they were able to come to a place where they extended grace to each other and have conversations long conversations about what the issues were that were present in ukraine. look, uh, president trump deserves the credit that he was willing to set aside. this idea that we can create this, this, this, this conflict out of out of nowhere and started looking at what was really in front of them. he was able to identify what was happening in ukraine identify, you know, some of the things that, that the president put in was saying specifically about, you know, the reasoning behind why they had the offensive to begin with. and that led to, i think, better conversations around things that present trouble is that able to go and verify that when he got the verification of those things,

that's when he stepped in the middle and said, okay, i've had enough of, of the little midget and, and ukraine and and frankly, we're gonna get to the table and stop people from die. the rest of the security council secretary is due to sit down for defense talks with the indonesian president in jakarta survey. chicago has received a warm welcome already in the south east asian country present in probable sub bianco met with the russian official for a formal red carpet ceremony. they'll be talking about expanding bilateral tides between jakarta and moscow. indonesia has long running relations with russia, which have improved in many spears recently, including trade, energy and military cooperation. circuit shy goes regional trip will last until friday, as he's also due to later visit, milch seems even to you itself is getting lost and it's long list of sanctions that just are not bringing russia to its knees. officials in brussels went straight to work on package number 17,

apparently because they already know that the 16th uh well will just be passed, but just won't do the trick either. here's the reaction from russia's foreign ministry spokesman. right after announcement of the 16 sanctions package, the you announced the 17th. i used to think that they were just foolishly stamping out these packages against russia. but the sanctions are not working. and there are more and more packages, while things are getting worse in western europe, the logic is as follows. there will probably be as many packages as there are e u member states. so that there will be something to wrap them into. the way the sanctions focus on 48 individuals and 35 entities, 74 vessels, allegedly used by russian fuel x borders have been blacklisted. and then yet another crack down on media freedom. 8 russian outlets can no longer broadcast in the european union. also targeted are 13 banks and 53 companies, including ones based in china, india tortilla,

and several other countries. european commission chief is optimistic about the restrictions. what we see is that the sanctions already have a massive effect on the russian economy. but there are skyrocketing inflation, the is filing interest rates. so the effect as visible um, come from companies are leaving the russia. you see the that really grinding a sanctions and fighting sanctions. the sections are part of our approach, is that the one piece to strength. and it's very clear that unless russia demonstrates by fax the to building this to achieve last thing and just piece agreement, we will increase punitive sanctions against russia. so the precondition is 1st, we have to see that this action on the side of rush, i was just and lasting peace of we meant presently,

there is no lasting peace of women. so that is much too early to speak about anything of potentially maintaining or increasing or lifting sanctions. this discussion can only be let after we've seen concrete steps on the russian side. aside from that, the u. k. wants to slap even more restrictions on russia for and secretary david lam. he says he will soon unveiled the sanctions, which he called the largest package since the early days of the ukraine conflict. british premier care storm or meanwhile is urging us to stand with key of but the trump white house has not announced any new sanctions. we do get reaction to the latest developments from former senior british diplomat in proud lots of decisions that you've been policy make is tight, seem to have more harm on the economy than 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 piece to ukraine. most sanctions, you know, really what make it make a difference of the stage of the game. well, 5 is the 16th round of sections from you, so as long as it gets less, as it can be, seems to be before we move above the compared to a set the in the design. so sanctions have worked and they've been in place for over 10 years now, not just instances of the will. it feels like a loss task. effort to just trying to sanction for more donald trump is trying to do on the stoops to bring this war to an end. pretty sanctions kind of relief has to be part of the, the kind of piece plan, new comp, just because you know, uh expect to wash it. kind of see foot piece when it's kind of winning on the battlefields and not getting get these incentives invitation. so successfully must be part of that kind of piece. pine thing as parliamentarians have hosted

a shocking display as they saluted a neo nazi veteran and convicted, war criminal and copenhagen. the catch is that the man in question fought against russia. so you seen as a hero by hawkish europeans, thank you for, for, for the applause. that would 1st go to our military, one of whom is here with us today. and for all of them go our home. and if the of the man at the center of it all is dimitri cooper, proudly displaying what many call a badge of horror. in other photos, cooper can be seen wearing the logo of the so called misanthropic division, which fought alongside neo nazis in the as of unit is drip lost the battle of mary opal back in 2022 where he and many of its members were taken prisoner by russia,

moscow court sentenced him to nearly 3 decades behind bars for the war, crime of opening fire and a civilian vehicle, killing 2 on arms people, and then later shooting a 3rd person on the street or can over was eventually released as part of a prisoner swap and returned home in september, the scene that played out in copenhagen is highly reminiscent of what was witness in canada back in 2023 global outrage interrupted after an elderly ukrainian man who served in a neil in a nazi rather german access division was given a lengthy standing ovation in canadian parliament, prime minister justin for though later claimed he had no idea who the man was. we heard the thoughts of former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott writer who says that the west is so obsessed with the risk of all. but the idea is it forgot about the horrors of nazi as it's not just the danes. it's not just the canadians, it's the united states,

it's great britain. it's the entire collective west, which has been infected by the rest of phobia to the extent that they've, in effect, had their memories wiped clean. of what the reality of nazi ideology is. and that's the idea. ology exist today in the form of its, you know, successor, a band tourism, the band terrorists, and the, the, the, the individual being applauded and the danish parliament. there's a living breathing example of bad dearest ideology. a war criminal who killed innocent civilians, i think as long as the united states in europe continue to view russia as the adversary, we will empower a historical revisionism that is taking place today. uh, one that forgives the.
