issues of digital transformation of federal executive authorities of russian subjects and state-owned companies and will consider issues related to the implementation of the federal project for the formation of a comfortable urban environment. we continue to follow the most important events in the federation council . see you in a week in the senate program. you can’t drive past such a route, general inspections stopped the car, as we were told with weapons, we go to look on our feet, sometimes there are so many and will be. married under upset but i knew that i had no other options. assistance by the local internal affairs body, which are just being formed people and the city in principle, need

help. wow hello this is news alexander kireevsky summing up the informational results of friday and the whole week. relations between russia and the united states remain extremely difficult, despite some events that seem to indicate that at least some kind of dialogue is being established between our countries. uh, at least in some areas, for example,

of course, this is the release of viktor but, nevertheless less constructive now. well, it’s a stretch to call the russian-american dialogue on strategic stability, we’ll talk about this with anatoly antonova, anatoly ivanovich, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of russia to the united states, hello well, let’s say a few words at the beginning of not strategic stability, but victor, but you ministry of foreign affairs today. and you, in particular, did a great job so that our other departments and other employees also praised this great work, but nonetheless. i am i even remember him as the last. uh, your visit says trumpet, then to the prison, where he is, and our colleagues filmed a report about it. and i also understand that this was not the only visit, uh, to viktor, uh, words about how the release of victor alexander anatolyevich became possible, uh,

thank you very much for the invitation, of course. it's a big event for us. this is the release of viktor anatolyevich, and i can sincerely tell you that our embassy considers one of its priorities to be taking care of our people. ah, compatriots who for one reason or another, they ended up in the american dungeons. yesterday, the events, and your, uh, channel was very actively showing, what was happening, but you know, let's be honest. i am very pleased with your words. thank you very much for the kind words about the ministry of foreign affairs of russian diplomats, but the channel created by the presidents worked. and a year ago, two presidents determined that the special services would deal with this problem, and they dealt with it. uh, difficult environment and got this result, which suits us completely, and our role is the embassy. uh, she's quite modest

. and for us, the most important thing. uh, no thanks, anything. the main thing is that our citizen ended up at home on the eve of the new year on the eve of his birthday after many years of ordeal. i was with him, indeed. you are right in jail. eh, the conditions are, of course, appalling. uh, viktor anatolyevich behaved very dignified, he didn’t ask me a single question about anatolyevich, when will i leave here, but i did, and i so wanted to take his hand and take him away from there. i want to tell you that what has been done is the result of a common effort, and hmm, i want to assure everyone that we will continue this work so that all our citizens are at home as quickly as possible. well, really , and part of the work of the main part, which we did not see them carry out. as you rightly noted, on behalf of the president, they are

not giving interviews to us, but to the special service. to anyone. this is clear. and this is correct, but nonetheless. your work was visible that is why we can comment on it. and, and a lot of work, they really rightly noticed, because the protection of the interests of our citizens, and, unfortunately, provocations against our citizens. i emphasize the word provocation. they are some kind of lawful persecution of a person who violated something, for real. yes, unfortunately they have been and are in recent times, and unfortunately, they probably will be. well, let's move on to the topics, but global a and this topic, of course, as i said at the beginning , the russian-american dialogue. uh, on the replacement of the cis treaty, this topic is the area where we as if looking for these points of contact. is it possible to say that some productive work is still going on? in this direction from both sides. your introductory speech of your eyeliner sounded several positive points, even though

today is friday ahead, saturday is sunday, when people with you will rest, but i want to disappoint. uh, i don't have such an assessment of the positive and even a hint of some kind of positive that exists in russian american relations, talking about strategic stability. we're missing gotta admit it and say it frankly. this is the result. not the russian position. this is the result of the russophobic policy of washington, which, in february, simply curtailed this dialogue, and i believe that the situation is not normal russia, the united states, the two leading nuclear powers. permanent members of the security council and under the un charter bear special responsibility for international security measures. it's a course of not having a serious conversation, a professional conversation between the two. our countries enshrined in the doctrinal documents of the united states of america in

there is not a word in the october nuclear posture update that this daga- this, uh, conversation is necessary between our two countries, but this document. i would like to draw the attention of, uh, all uh, viewers is a kind of guiding star for the current administration, the policy of supporting and weakening russia is clearly manifested now these days when discussing the defense budget for just a figure that is impressive 850 eight billion dollars 6 billion allocated to contain russia further more the pentagon is actively modernizing its nuclear complex. so december 2 took place in the presentation. well-wa-bomber. b-21, which in the future will become one of the uh key

elements of the nuclear triad, and in this context , alexander anatolyevich, a very serious question arises, are the americans interested in talking with us on strategic stability in a conversation that can only be based on equal mutual respect basis without any requirements or preconditions, and it is rather difficult to answer this question positively today. so far, the obvious desire of the united states to live the olden days of the military-technological development of the russian federation is being considered to impose such schemes, but potential agreements that provide for a secondary position of russia in the international arena. in addition, it is very important to obtain additional data on strategic weapons systems and force us to stop the production of some e-e from, as well, for

example. here i really don’t like the dagger in the angarde. well, of course, i will emphasize poseidon. we never aimed for an arms race always demonstrated openness to dialogue and i will note only one thing: we need legal, binding guarantees of the security of our country so that russia can fully concentrate on the socio-economic development of our society. we need the predictability in washington's politics that is so lacking. eh, in recent years. e alexander anatolyevich, we are now having a conversation with you at a very remarkable time in 2008, on december 10, 1987, the famous washington summit took place in washington, when the treaty was signed. about medium-smaller missiles ranges that i don't want to discuss the question today, is it good or bad, i can say one thing, that

this was a step taken in the field of real nuclear disarmament and which the americans. just thrown into the dustbin of history in this context. i would like to take into account two points or, if you like, two lessons that flow from those positions. first, despite the complexity of russian-american or soviet-american relations, the leaders were able to take a step forward to move away from contradictions. uh, and uh, change the paradigm find a compromise. secondly, despite the apparent intransigence of the position of our two countries, it is very important to be able to hear and listen to each other, to understand and accept concerns related to ensuring national security , and most importantly. do not try to cheat too many spectators and hide cheating simply will not work

. uh, the cis treaty is the only legally binding document. ah, which controls the nuclear deterrence relationship. a and. i understand how you rate. he generally performed essentially in spirit, and not swell. is it possible to talk further about legal agreements with this country, alas, this is the only, uh, legal, binding agreement between our two countries, in concluding this agreement, high-ranking representatives of russia and the united states called it the gold standard in the field of arms control , a lot of useful things were done to strengthen predictability and stability. however, in recent years, honestly. damn, the agreement began to slip yerevan, the americans tried to achieve unilateral advantages, we are talking about the processes of

converting launchers of ballistic missiles of submarines and heavy bombers for non-nuclear targets, speaking in a simple and understandable language for our e, spectators, the americans are making minor changes in installations and on bombers. and now they allegedly cannot perform the so-called nuclear thought emission. at the same time, our specialists are firmly convinced that in 3 years, when this treaty expires, the americans will have to tweak something, remove something, and again these launchers installation. these heavy bombers can carry out nuclear missions. we consider it unacceptable and do not recognize it. uh, position is such a thing for americans. today is very important. set e resume verification mechanism under the contract let me remind you. e that the suspension

of this mechanism was originally due to covid restrictions. this is obvious. this is understandable, but then after the collapse of russian american relations. and after the americans began to pursue a hostile policy towards. in russia, we have serious the fundamental problem with the overflights of our e -aircraft for verification with obtaining visas, these problems are widely known. and in these conditions, we are surprised by the perverse logic of local politicians with whom we meet, who call us for transparency, predictability for openness, er, and at the same time pump us up. e, kiev weapons, and which are used against our guys by our soldiers on yours are used against e civilians , and in the donbass ignore these

circumstances. well, just, well, from a sane point of view logic. it's just not possible, so the decision was made to reschedule. i emphasize not to blame, as the american media are trying here now to submit the issue of postponing the holding of a bilateral commission, which should resolve all technical and political problems at a later time, our decision. i'm here talking to administration officials all the time and, uh, the media is not focused on the word of the treaty. on the contrary, it is aimed at making the americans understand the essence of what they are doing, of the violations they are doing, in order to they began to fully comply with all the conditions of this agreement. we still believe that the treaty. meets the national interests of russia the united states and the treaty this treaty is an important tool

for ensuring predictability and preventing an arms race. well, at the beginning you already said that, as you correctly said on our television in the introduction, but to our conversation, you were too optimistic, but nonetheless. eh, i wish it was, but still. here , instead of realizing how just you they said, their actions and come to some kind of sensible just sensible behavior hmm nato countries are planning 40 billion dollars in the new budget, uh, to allocate uh to ukraine, uh, and an additional 800 million. and so on. in general, lately, it seems that opinions have appeared in the united states, in particular on republican, and tv channels of tackercars. he 's just already there. she will not be recorded as russian spies soon , and he is somehow trying to take a sober look at things, does this somehow still

affect us public opinion ? there from the inside, as you can see, alexander anatolyevich confuses me a little. you are trying to find the positive that i should look for. in fact, i am a person who works here on a two-way track, and i constantly pour some kind of cold water on you and say, that everything is much more complicated, that structural elements are not viewed by structural elements. here in the last days. i have had several meetings. uh, including yesterday we talked about the exchange. uh, will she griner talked about the meeting of naryshkin from bernstom and they only said maybe this is just a signal to improve relations. maybe this is a prologue to the fact that the relationship will somehow develop. i, alas. you must admit that it is impossible to consider intonation in this way. this is an exception and no prerequisites today to say that

russian-american relations. uh, have hmm a trend to improve or the first ones appeared. these are the signals. i would at least abstain, but as for ukraine, the generosity of the united states of america towards kiev is simply limitless unprecedented. it is necessary to recognize some successes, and the americans in their policy. firstly, they manage to keep the zelensky regime on the tsugundra. second, force europe to comply with the installation, and american foreign policy. uh, thank god for what's new. americans are malleable and ready to go in everything. e in the tail of the americans. and finally, the americans were able to destroy economic ties between europe and russia, especially in the field of energy resources, which the americans were striving for. many years. now it happened. i'm talking about

supply of russian energy resources to the european market in america has developed. the phobic consensus of republicans' control of the house of representatives as a result of the midterm elections doesn't change anything. uh, it would be wrong on our part to think that on january 3, when the congress in the new composition, uh, resumes its work, and the americans will reduce, uh, deliveries, and weapons to ukraine or there will be some kind of light, some kind of positive at the end of the tunnel with respect to russian american relations, there is no between republicans and democrats. unanimous opinion to the zelensky regime we need to help russia we need to weaken and the situation is heated up by the mainstream media turtles are overwhelmingly anti-russian no mention

of the tragedy in the house of the water trade unions when they were burned alive. people of ordinary ordinary people no mention of the eight years of shooting in the luhansk donbass. uh, when ordinary people died, uh, the image of russia in the american media uh, is of a negative nature, ukraine is presented as an innocent victim. uh, when you give examples like this in relation to the house of trade unions in relation to the war over the donbass with the americans, and i ask a simple question. why didn't you say anything before? why are you only today, and say something, they are some e crimes of the russian army. here, after all, there is silence of not a single argument, including from the side of e western european words with some of which i manage to keep in touch so far, by the way , partners have a lot of questions. e usa and as a

policy towards ukraine, for example, at the recent summit in the summer. descended themselves e latin america usa or usa summit america is so called there clearly, it sounded clear, what are you doing in washington, we ask you for some crumbs to deprive socio-economic problems. why do you, but allow ukrainians to swim, and in gifts from washington, what is it justified next week, by the way, will take place on their own. uh, usa africa, i would like to see how the calls of our african friends and the united states of america will sound there in terms of providing assistance to the socio-economic development, or rather, what will be the reaction of the americans to the justified despair and appeals of the african states? and anatolyevich has

one more question. this is the work of the diplomatic departments, in general, this, with regard to relations even at the personal level between our countries, but there were problems. today i know what kind of news i would see that the american embassy in russia fills the vacant positions of employees who were fired, who were not. what do you think, are these also signs or not? how do you work there with point of view here are human things. alexander anatolyevich, i should invite our embassy to work with you. he probably then your telegram to moscow would have been more positive, i am very pleased that everyone is trying to find some kind of positive moments that we supposedly do not notice here. as you know today , there really is not a single vacancy, but in the consular department of the american embassy in the usa no, we have issued visas to everyone. we are ready to do this now. let him bring us, uh, documents for

obtaining visas. we like exchanges. uh, we're ready for normal operation. but the situation around our foreign institutions in the united states, she reminded me tensely, we are talking not only about washington, we are talking about new york and houston, where our consulates general work, as well as through russia in the united nations, especially this feeling during the so-called spring. when there were non-stop rallies near the property, in fact, these missions were under siege, and our employees continue to be threatened on the phones there are so-called invitations to cooperate with the special services, they offer to give the homeland to go over to the side of democratic america well, of course, the american special services make approaches to russian diplomats, the americans continue their policy of reducing the

diplomatic presence of russia in the united states of america and on january 1, and leaves us 30 more people who are forced to leave the united states by force. uh, visa restrictions from the state department, the state department tightened the rules for issuing visas does not issue permits for entry. here, the ranks of officials themselves do not want to meet with russian diplomats prefer. all issues are resolved by phone or by e-mail, but even in these conditions, i want to assure, uh, the viewer that our embassy, ​​our depression, our consulate general in houston, in new york, will do everything that is not possible and necessary from us to defend the national interests of russia and one more thing. we have a lot of compatriots according to some data that require clarification to five million, and

the west coast on the west coast there is not a single representative office of the russian federation . as you know, the consulates general in san francisco and seattle were closed. by the way, now our diplomats are in alaska. before that, they visited seattle to the west coast, where they provided consular services for about 1,000 russians, we will not forget the memorable places of russian glory, the burial places of soviet and russian heroes, our comrades just laid flowers and knelt at the willow on the grave of the sailor. michael anisimov honored the memory of the heroes of alsib. uh, at the world war ii memorial in vankuwich. and yesterday, and in the capital, imagine what words of russian america, in the sitka, flowers were laid, er, to memorable places, and to the places where russian explorers appeared, who discovered america. and, of course,

we already talked about an important problem, an important a problem, it remains and will be, but for a long time, unfortunately, this is a provision. uh, us-, uh, provision or legal protection of russians who ended up in american prisons under any circumstances, we will seek their full liberation anton but good luck to you in this difficult work. thank you very much for taking the time for us, and let me remind you, we spoke with russian ambassador to the united states anatoly anton attacks by ukrainian president vladimir zelensky on the oligarchs may indicate that he is trying to seize power in the country, a ukrainian said in an interview with the washington post businessman rinat akhmetov according to him, neither the us nor the eu has a law on bonds that allow lists of undesirable persons to be compiled. this is democracy in

ukraine, and this is not his only stunt against the president of the country. for details, we will learn from anton podkovenko. he carefully studied this article anton welcome. please remind me that akhmetov zealously criticizes the laws. yes, i welcome the law against the oligarchs. it is actually called the law on the e. oligarchide oligarchization. yes, and that's hard to pronounce even for some experts. well, the oligarchs themselves say that he seriously ruffled their nerves. zelinsky breaks the ukrainian oligarchs on the knee, literally, and rinat akhmetov decided to speak out to his media tribune. he actually lost it now, and therefore wrote a post in washington that zelensky is attacking the oligarchs, that this is a seizure of power, and no reforms are complaining. plant named after ilyich

minus azovstal but this is understandable. they are in mariupol, but zelensky blocked it. uh, all his media assets are a whole group of tv channels, the real informational empire writes the washington post and akhmetov called the rejection of this empire difficult an involuntary decision, and everything is according to zelensky’s law on the village of oligarchization, the oligarchs should not have any media, they should not have any political parties. they can't get out. he took off the air, the tv channels of mr. poroshenko, the former president of the dash oligarch, he prompted akhmetov to free himself from his media resources. by and large, he plugged his past business partner and sponsor, mr. kolomoisky, into his belt and, probably, today

he is the richest man in the country, they are renat akhmetov zelensky well, like schwartz himself turned into a dragon, and curled up that he would kill the dragon. zelinsky made a list of oligarchs, who he wants to add to this list, who he wants to exclude, his government is developing additional antitrust laws, as they say, the world is not civilized to do this with business. actually, akhmetov writes about this, and in the states he says they don’t do that. in fact, they do very well. just not at home, but in the colonies. well , how else to call today's ukraine? what we are seeing now is not personal ambition at all. zelensky it's not his plans to take revenge on someone or to crush everything under himself. no, this is a person's function and it will not be difficult to replace zelensky with another person's function. for those who are now really in control of the

situation in ukraine, everything that an oligarch earns instead means money past the cash register of a large international corporation. according to one version, zelensky is clearing a place for american mega-corporations, primarily squeezing out the oligarchs in raw materials, so as not to get in the way of their uncle sam in addition, washington has another reason to let zelensky off the leash so as not to pay quickly, the growing count hinted that he won’t have so much money now, because public opinion in europe and america is changing congress, and congress - this is the main body of the american legislature that writes checks to everyone, and this help. so that's for sure. so he starts frantically looking for money in the bottom of the barrel. and apparently he was given the go-ahead to shoot his own oligarchs, who at one time he was helped, so mad dog in action.

well, will the oligarchs allow themselves to be milked by them, after all, all of ukraine until recently belonged. they had their own armies. well, remember, at least the national battalions, and the americans never put all their eggs in one basket. they can shift fear at the bank at the click of a finger according to rumors, they communicate with poroshenko and other moneybags independent it is possible that akhmetov is not lost sight of, well, it’s not for nothing that he is paid in the washington post vest. thanks to anton and the criticism of the richest businessman of ukraine in the address of vladimir zelensky on the pages of the american press said anton podkovennykh. now a short commercial, we'll be back in a few minutes.
