self-isolation of the west from the rest of the world, and this time the head of the czech foreign ministry was treated, he apparently decided to use the country’s chairmanship, which began on july 1, on the website for calls to revise the fundamental principles of interaction with russia of the current bilateral agreement, including the simplification agreement issuance of visas but on energy. no, you don't need to revisit. hmm , gas supplies and fertilizer food don't need to be reviewed from his point of view until they need it. nothing should be touched. come on, what kind of absolutely barbaric attitude to humanistic values ​​is this? by the way, it should be noted that even before this attitude, as i already said, the eu of our country was significantly limited by the ukraine-centric, so -called principles of hype uh hmm and developed in the european , foreign

service and friendly triads remember. yes it is absolutely absurd and very funny repulse of shackling and interaction. well, even a child understands that the one who is chained and the one to whom they gave resistance cannot interact. well, just not. well, it's impossible. well, such a concept was developed contained in helsinki, and such as it was ecology - these are the 10 principles of the 75th csce principle, equality of sovereign equality and non-interference in internal affairs, which we have repeatedly proposed. all these aspects for implementation by the european union were consistently rejected, as if they had not been developed by it at all, although all these countries that are now members of the european union actively promoted them at one time, and in the approved march the new military-political doctrine of the eu

strategic compass arrows in the russian direction have finally strayed towards confrontation. now, apparently, the move to dismantle the legal basis of relations with our country of the visa facilitation agreement was, i recall, partially suspended by the european union, and because of this, clarifications from the european commission were published, which calls for a biased consideration of any visas. citizens of the russian federation and some eu member states fully presented the acceptance of russian visa applications, otherwise, as a restriction of freedom of movement and visa discrimination based on nationality. this cannot be called taken by brussels a dead end line for self-isolation from russia this steel world is only deepening, surrendered by separate forces, already deep dividing lines in europe i apologize for the tautology and it is unlikely that all this meets the vital interests of the inhabitants of the countries on the

european union citizens of our country, because all this creates an artificial obstacle and accordingly the question arises. is the european union, in principle, capable of thinking strategically, and this is the brussels bureaucracy? these are the same uh, their so-called strategic documents of the concept of doctrine, i have just voiced to you. well, it says, but in principle, the absence of any sensible analytics. eh, can the european union and those who now govern it look beyond the horizon to think about ensuring security on the common european continent. this question is probably worth get an answer from them, because it depends on this answer. will the european union be able to become a responsible global player that claims, by the way , to be an independent center of power in a multipolar world? and or will trail like that, but in the tail. saxon duo so let's move on with us

. is russia today the world? russia today? yes with us hello maria vladimirovna hello, i see it. hello and hear. thank you. very nice. ah, he, if you will. we have two questions. uh, the program was released this week high-level weeks can not. just to ask me a question. yesterday during the interview, sergeevich lavrov chief editor. came out holding. e was in a very beautiful dress. same color. this is a color. e month in ria novosti, of course, he is a wonderful color wonderful. i hope everyone chose him voluntarily. yes, yes absolutely, if i may , i will return to the question, of course, the program of the high-level week of the un general assembly session was not made public for this, which states that russia will be represented by the head of the russian foreign ministry

sergei lavrov. can you uh confirm? uh, is it planned for the participation of the ministers, the upcoming events in september? where is actually the first question? e yes. well, come on, i 'll answer right away. as you know, the issue of approving the head of the russian delegation, its composition is always being worked out, is approved by the country's leadership, therefore, in this. uh. at this stage, the solution is being worked out, of course, you will learn about it. understood, thank you very much, if i may, the second question is how the situation with the issuance of visas is now a russian diplomat participating in events at the un venues. have you managed to achieve any progress in this direction? thank you but, in short, it's disgusting. and if you give specific examples, then i also have them. the fact is that the us authorities continue to abuse, and the countries that accept his apartment, in fact, simply continue to manipulate the issuance of entry visas

by the official russian representative, who are sent to new york to attend. e, in activities under the auspices of the organization. this applies not only to russian representatives, but now we are talking about our country, contrary to its obligations, the american side either refuses to issue visas to the head and a member of the russian delegation with reference to the provision of national legislation, including those related to espionage and sabotage, or simply deliberately delays, uh, issuance of visas in order to disrupt the arrival of russian delegates, including ministers, heads of departments of experts , to important un events. here i understand well, how, for more persuasiveness, examples are needed. eh, i'm ready to bring. here is the last egregious case - this is discrimination against the head of the delegation of the russian federation at the upcoming july 25-29 session of the working group open with a table on international information security, we are talking about the special representative of the

president of the russian federation on international cooperation in the field of information security, director of the department of international information security of the ministry of foreign affairs andrey krutskikh you know well who staged by and large. at the origins of the creation of this direction in our department, the state department said that a visa could not be issued to him, in principle, this is apparently such a new provision. uh, the new norm in the u.s. foreign service is like this, they took it and explained uh, we just openly show the united states disregard for international legal acts, including the 1947 agreement on the deployment of headquarters on american territory, according to which they are obliged provide unhindered conditions for activity of foreign depressions accredited to the un, in return, washington is once again trying to impose its own rules in order to make it as difficult as possible for us to work on the un sites.

of course, we consider such behavior absolutely unacceptable and without a proper response, american maneuvers. of course they won't. well, in this case, of course, there should be appropriate actions on the part of the secretariat, so we go further with us or reuters when i have one question, but there were any contacts with united states on the possible regulation of computer smoking. if not uh what do you think uh? why is washington silent in this regard? thank you very much, well, there are no official russian-american contacts in ukraine, uh, these contacts are not carried out, and technical issues are discussed at the level of our diplomatic missions of our embassies. uh, in moscow and washington, respectively, but then again, this is again, well, such technical, uh, problems

questions and so on. and why well, the reason is obvious is the destructive policy of the biden administration, and hmm who declared their goal to defeat russia in ukraine and their own wards in kiev huh? the administration forbids even thinking about negotiations with us, forcing us to fight to the last ukrainian. apparently, well, and, accordingly, in these conditions. how can you say e? hmm united states of america what uh? hmm accordingly, apparently, there, they will just need to accept and recognize the reality on earth. and well, as long as it makes no sense, we proceed from those actions and statements and those specific steps that, uh, the united states of america, i am taking on this direction. thank you very much, please

continue. hello hello how do you assess the prospects for russia's relations with sri lanka? in what areas is it possible to provide assistance to this country, you know, well, briefly, i already today enter into parts of this topic. well , speaking in more detail, this state is a longtime partner of russia in south asia, our relations from this side are built on the basis of the principles of equality, mutual respect and consideration of each other's interests. we cooperate on various international platforms, and this is facilitated by the proximity of approaches in our countries to the main problems of our time. in the long term, we see a significant potential for building up bilateral trade cooperation and its full implementation. of course, it will be possible to speak after the release of the elankan economy of the current crisis state. and hmm, as we noted today. as you know, uh,

there is a change of political leadership in this country. on the agenda of the formation of the government, respectively, only it can determine direction in which the country. well, answering the second part of your question, needs help in external assistance, assistance, and so on, forms, volumes and other conditions can be the subject of discussion within the framework of the dialogue. uh, colombo with foreign partners. well, including with moscow, i ’m talking again, this, of course, is a question for the leadership of this country. thank you for the second question, minister lavrov, in his recent article for izvestia war, already mentioned today that the multipolar world was talking about respect for the un charter, but did not say anything to the council un security council what is the fate of the proposal to hold a meeting of the leaders of the countries of the permanent members of the un security council well, you understand, he is russian foreign minister sergey lavrov speaks on these topics regularly, and the article was devoted to, but to such a distinctive characteristic. and of

course, it was not devoted to the issue of various aspects of the activities of the security council, because there was a theme of it. uh, just a little different, in answer to your question, i can reiterate, that russia has always been in favor of seeking a policy of diplomatic negotiated solutions to disagreements between the leading countries of the world. and, of course, including, first of all, in a crisis in crisis situations, let me remind you that in the twentieth year it was in january, and the president of russia called for the start of a serious dialogue between the five permanent members of the un security council on the principles of interaction in international affairs, solving the most acute problems humanity ways to preserve peace strengthen global regional security strategic stability. and soon the leader of the people's republic of china, the united states, france and britain sent

uh, written messages, uh, with a proposal to hold a summit meeting in uh in january 21 in a telephone conversation with the president. e between the president of russia and the united states was confirmed, uh, from the american side, the interest in this initiative further. the topic has been repeatedly raised, and at various levels, however, according to e. hmm, apparently for their own reasons and under various pretexts, the question was somehow postponed at the beginning of this year, when we were from washington and nato brussels a refusal was received to discuss russian proposals on security guarantees, it became finally clear that our western collegiums, instead of dialogue, chose the path to confrontation and conflict. this, despite the fact that right now the negotiations between the leading world powers are difficult. well, probably more in demand than ever, but this is their choice, we repeatedly. uh, for many years in various formats

they proved their ability and skill. uh, professionally conduct negotiations on the most difficult issues and have always proceeded from the fact that this particular principle, but is embedded in international law and must be adhered to. well, of course, with a similar attitude from the outside. uh, the so-called western partners. now we take it all in quotation marks. and the possibility of you yourself is not visible, however. uh, hmm this proposal is not off the table like the diplomats say. perhaps when the west comes to its senses, it will be possible to return to it, but i say it again, this is such a theoretical question. at this stage, thank you and the third question. are the diplomatic missions of russia in donetsk and lugansk open their opening was planned work is underway, huh? well, as a matter of fact, at present, foreign policy interaction is carried out

through the ambassadors of the dpr dpr and lpr, who are already working in moscow so, uh, are we moving on with us, uh, the italian news agency? hello. hello ah hmm this morning the italian prime minister fights moscow in italy probably, and here russia want to ask, what strikes me most strikes me is that well, okay. this would be done by hmm experts, publicists, bloggers, but this do officials. in italy, political reshuffles are being tied inward. i'm not talking about problems or programs of any kind, but simply internal political reshuffles are associated with russia. and

in general, this is surprising with foreign policy, to be honest, it shocked ours. i can tell you so. i now understand, but even more so. and i read in some materials, but it was true that it was not an official opinion, but such an opinion was expressed that it was almost the russian ambassador. it was involved in it. this is very funny, let me remind you the russian ambassador was on vacation when another political crisis broke out in your country. yes, this is also my question. unless, of course, but as far as we are going on the choice, and on which the parties closer to russia and against the european union can win the legs, not only in letalia. they say that the situation is beneficial, especially russia, as you can comment as you can. if you want, of course i'm wrong and how moscow is generally assessed, the government of the other em, the government of the drag. uh, italians should be judged by citizens of italy

probably, perhaps, to specialists narrow in international relations who write the history of foreign policy. it may be interesting who thinks what and how they remember dear ones abroad, but a global assessment should be given. italian society first, second i want to answer your question in general. i want me to be a representative of the russian foreign ministry but you ask me questions from italy and uh, i want to remind you that italy is a sovereign independent country that should not depend on anyone at all. e in this plan. and uh, why all the time there is some kind of internal need to explain the ongoing events by some external factors. i don't understand hmm i'll take it. perhaps this is my personal perception, but

i have always seen italy as a strong independent full-fledged country. we still have such a concept as a full-blooded side of a country that is independent in everything in all its manifestations of the economy, finance, and the international deya has a history that fueled not just other neighboring countries, which gave the development of an incentive development in many regions of the world, italy had a cultural influence, er, a constructive positive and very rich influence, again, on various countries and peoples. eh, and why? right now, uh, individual italian politicians have the right to subordinate italy, even in the public sphere, to whoever it is. i do n't understand. and, at least, i said about ours , about my own, but so many

citizens of russia think so, and the state of italy italy is an independent country. we have always taken it that way. if it’s not perceived that way somewhere, then that’s for sure. prettier has nothing to do with it. and then, i don't want to. let me emphasize once again that commenting on the internal political processes that your country is currently experiencing, we did this only when italian officials linked internal internal political events in italy with russia, we just, uh, were forced to comment on this from our side. i want to note that the accusations against russia coming from the pyatnitsky peninsula come from certain politicians. e provoking, as they say destabilization the situation in italy is unreasonable not wealthy. they just don't have the evidence base. uh, if they want to come up with something, at least let them say what they came up with as reasons, but i can’t even imagine that they can voice the diplomats

sent the ambassador on vacation, and unfortunately a lot in terms of information. they are simply blocked by the russian point of view, alas, not everywhere, but in many ways. how can one even think of one? here's how to get attached, at least to something i don't know, but hmm, the russian federation does not interfere and never interfered in the internal affairs of other foreign states, as far as, did you have any other question or not, yes. a question about elections. and well, not only in italy they say that they will move to russia e. hmm victory hmm let's say uh about russian artie and anti eu artik and if you can comment on this perspective of our relationship. you know, you're probably confusing us with someone else. this is how many western states treat each other

when they openly declare that it will be beneficial for them, so that in one country or another the waist, another, but a political force, wins. and by the way, this applies not only to the above- relations with washington to countries and nato, but remember, i remember it very well, how ah-ah strange the european union openly stated that it is beneficial and necessary for them i do not fully support hillary clinton on the post of president of the united states of america but i remember the president, in my opinion, it was land almost even sent a congratulatory telegram to her before the announcement of the final results, i think. they openly supported by many politicians and not by politicians, but by statesmen , the leaders of the eu countries openly consider it possible to support certain forces in other countries. they talk about what they personally or how they like, but for politicians - this is beneficial to the political

culture of our country, this does not apply. we never do it. we always talk about interaction with the side with the people on the basis of those agreements and those documents. in the uh of the agreements that we have, if you ask what is beneficial for us in the context of italy it is beneficial for us to develop cooperation in areas that are mutually beneficial and areas that give mutual results that italians and russians need, that bring, enrich our economy, culture, and the humanitarian sphere. the sphere of security, the sphere of information, for example, this is beneficial for us. and who, uh, when he comes to power, uh, in italy it's up to the italians, only the citizens of italy can decide for which parties, for which politicians, they vote and whom

they choose? thank you please. so if with us portal news.ru hello me two questions coordinates of strategic communications of the white house national security kirby said that the visit of the russian leader to iran allegedly demonstrates the degree of isolation of putin and russia and moscow is now forced to turn towards iran for help. here is how you can comment on such statements by the united states and here i would like to ask the context. the next question of the state department service, price stated that the united states has not yet seen the opportunity for negotiations with russia on ukraine and demanded that moscow change its an approach. uh. and so our question is whether or under what conditions moscow still sees the

possibility of starting negotiations. uh, between washington, you know, yes, that's the first question. i already commented on it yesterday. here is the truth in my telegram channel. if possible, i’ll read it out so as not to invent anything u you know, here’s the special coordinator john kirby u hmm for strategic communication of the us state apparatus the cis announced that the visit of the russian president to iran and participation from the donetsk process russia's isolation, you know, i think it seems to me, and isolation, like logic, either exists or it doesn't. uh, today there is no isolation of moscow and logic in washington, so here i don’t

want to say that this is some kind of logical error. this, unfortunately, is a series of logical statements that we hear from washington for the second moment, what are you talking about, what did you talk about in your first question a about the fact that russia is now turning to iran, because it is isolated to me only one question. and here is kirby in general, in washington, here is the state of the democratic party, in principle, they know that the astana astana format used to exist, in principle, they are aware of it. he did pass. he went through different levels. he sat. and then this is what it says, when it was until february 22. it was also a signal. then you need to explain. and what did russia want to show or demonstrate?

by those meetings themselves and meetings at the level of foreign ministers or experts, do you understand? this is absurd astana format deals with certain problems he met at various levels in this format. he held a meeting in the twenty-second year and before that, in the same way as the visits that were carried out by the head of our state to iran, iranian leaders to russia, they are carried out without taking into account the opinion of the united states on this issue, when the heads of our countries, when the heads of foreign policy the defense departments of our states need to hold a meeting, then and in the formats that are convenient for them, they and they do absolutely the same thing.
