to justify the criminals whose blood is civilians during a special operation , russian military personnel, like the red army during the great patriotic war, perform feats to act courageously and decisively. this testifies to the continuity of generations. loyalty to our heroic traditions and the desire to protect civilians from neo-nazis. today, from four in the morning to five hours and fifty-six minutes, an attempt was made to hit our objects in the crimea in sevastopol with unmanned vehicles , all devices, all three devices were destroyed on i would like to draw your attention to the fact that two vehicles were also destroyed by a contract service sailor. to awards and accordingly in

accordance with our decisions. journalist hersh claims that biden made a stupid decision to sabotage nord stream and is now forced to lie. well, now the live broadcast from sochi position is well known. we strongly advocate that the africans themselves determine how to solve african problems without interference. from outside a the international community should promote the moral political material, and you are the implementation of those decisions that african countries take to resolve conflicts in e. on the continent, and unconditionally speaking about the un, we cannot

pass over in silence, but the topic of the reform of the united nations, the specifics of the reform of the security council, our position here is unchanged, but we see a frankly obvious one. the insertion of developing countries into the security site and we advocate that the reform of this central body should take place solely by providing additional seats to countries africa asia and latin america i thank my colleague for a very useful conversation , a productive conversation, which will certainly help to advance our practical cooperation in all areas. thank you

lavrov deepen our fraternal dialogue in this beautiful city in sochi remind you of what you witnessed recently. you have led talks with president isais of contacts between our countries, but it is also a sign that we have similar positions.

sovereign equality of the state in accordance with the composition of the un in the month we oppose the economic pressure of unilateral sanctions and blockades against fabletor police hegemony containment that pushes the world to the edge of the abyss against the vilification of countries and their leaders of the international criminal court, which is not interested in restoring justice to the country. sovereignty of states we also

oppose the plunder of resources and extrapolation of the assets of states we stand for peace for the right of states to their values ​​and environment. in the cultural arena, including as part of

of today's talks, we outlined concrete steps that will allow us to move closer to achieving these goals. let me take this opportunity to express our country's unchanging policy to the people in ukraine are used to weaken by any means.

please ask questions from the russia today tv channel sham and who will condemn the american crime around the world? usa

we always say that we do not accept such a policy, because it is a lie, we are directly talking about it and we have published, related statement on the subject. i can only agree with my colleague and me on a broader level, the united states has never made a secret of the fact that it views

itself as an exceptional power. and that this exclusivity covers all areas. uh people's lives, including international relations, and including the uh self-mastered right to judge people, and judge themselves without any uh legal process, and when the legal process in an international context concerns the united states, the united states can calmly punish those who question. the right , uh, to dictate to everyone and all your will, and to violate, uh, any written and unwritten rules and laws. well, today many people are talking about it, and let me remind you that the situation in the international criminal court is at the beginning of the 2000s, in the middle of

the 2000s. e prosecutor of the international criminal court, then it was a representative of developing countries, but opened a case, and on war crimes to investigate war crimes that the united states and the coalitions led by them committed in afghanistan uh, washington reacted very simply. uh, announced sanctions against the prosecutor of some other employees of the international criminal court and the case was closed now the international criminal court is headed by a prosecutor who is, well, a naturalized anglo-saxon. i will say so, and which, of course, as we all could see, fulfills orders, and their owners, about which they prohibit this body from investigating the crimes of nato member countries and incite it, and

not even to look for far-fetched pretexts some existing facts in order to advance the agenda of the so-called collective west, this is it. what the united states is doing a, but i'm convinced. uh, such behavior. eh, no one likes it. even the majority of washington's allies have no doubts, and such behavior will not lead to good , and it is impossible to claim exclusivity when you violate everything very often. ah, international law. and very often you break the rules written by yourself, and when you constantly climb into any business in any part of the world, under incomprehensible pretexts other than the desire

to dominate everywhere to the detriment of the accumulation of huge problems within the united states , which, after all, someone has to deal with. tv channel zvezda sergey petrovich will first allow you to congratulate you on your past birthday, the first question is for you. and tell me, against the background of the upcoming meeting, which took place in moscow since the jinping. and vladimir putin sheep. uh, military extremists armed extremists shot nine nine chinese, and c. the same days in kenya there were riots. here, in your opinion, can the situation be swayed artificially, especially against the backdrop of building up relations between russia and the african continent, and the second question , mr. usalihu, to your state last year, did not support the anti-russian resolution at the un general assembly and in. thus, in her position on moscow on her own in ukraine , she expressed a special military operation after your decision. did they try

to contact you, but the countries, and america or from the side of the allies and try to somehow change your decision to put pressure on thank you regarding the question addressed to me. uh yes, we were concerned about the uh situation that has developed in the central african republic as a result of extremist attacks on chinese workers killing. e nine of these workers. uh, the fact that there were parallel uh, riots in kenya, uh, but we are also not particularly surprised, because our western colleagues. uh, constantly uh, demand that african leaders from leaders of other countries follow their advice. and those who show some minimal independence, uh, get so side of the west various provocations. i do not rule out that i do not affirm, but i do not exclude

that this was the case this time as well. and i said that i do not rule it out, because, well, there are situations that develop. in the economy in the social sphere, the objections of the population that cause protests, but in the vast majority of cases, the west seeks either to create such situations, or to use them in its own interests. that's why you ca n't even go to africa. and you can look at e, the european continent when a is in moldova obviously spurred on by the west, and all sorts of protesters were elevated to the rank of fighters for freedom, for human rights, for democracy, and, and those processes that took place , e.g., other images were planted in georgia, but in a

way that met the interests of the west and the suppression of processes in moldova it was actively supported, and the suppression of the protest in georgia was called an attack on democracy. so here we have special special illusions. no, e yes, in fact, even apart from incitement, but such behind the scenes of the west publicly demand that african countries not support russia not be friends with russia e not be friends with china refocus on e. western countries in the development of their economies. this is spoken openly during official visits by american and other officials to the countries of the continents. recently, uh, there was an interesting sketch of a video sketch, when

the german ambassador, at a reception with the president of the democratic republic of the congo , complains to him, what? there are too many chinese in drc. well here's the outrageousness of it this. eh, well, i would say this is an unethical statement, in my opinion, you don’t even need to prove it, but for some reason they consider themselves right. these are the lectures given by the president of african countries. this is not about colonial thinking, which is categorically rejected by africans by us. and by the way, the president of the democratic republic of the congo gave a very useful lecture on words and organization. did she go to him for the future that she reflected a principled position, and dna - this, i think, is very important. repeat your questions from

last year's state of headphones. in past year, your state did not support the anti-russian resolution at the un general assembly, thus you emphasized your attitude to the topic of moscow’s special military operation in ukraine tell me after your decision, were there any attempts by washington or their allies to contact you somehow to put pressure on and change your position?

damn, what the russian federation is doing, but like i said, we are always under pressure and the united states is always attacking us in geneva on various issues that concern, and human rights topics, he called democracy and always they try

to change the position of the retream. they say that the territory should act in the interests of the us it seems to me or three was not the only country that the us did not invite to the summit called us africa there are several other

countries. they didn't receive an invitation and now it's interesting, now the americans will hold themselves for democracy against autocracy. and where did they invite a rather interesting group of countries? far from always meeting their own american criteria for democracy, but going in line with the fairway foreign policy of washington and therefore considered worthy of participation in the event, that is, the americans are decided by the democrats. whom they call democrats to call washington autocrats determines adherence to not just some kind of democratic values ​​​​so globally abstract, if

you support the policy of the democratic party of the united states in addition to the fact that the united states has arrogated to itself the right to determine who is a democrat. and who is the truck crane, they still in the case themselves there with african countries appropriated the right determine the geography of the african continent, because under the name of the usa, africa itself did not include all the countries of the continents , that is, the usa even takes on functions here, but by and large the lord god who created our sinful earth good afternoon dear ministers alexander burmistrov agency tass, my question is addressed to sergei viktorovich lavrov, and yesterday it was reported that the british authorities were going to supply

shells with a combined uranium to ukraine, and president vladimir putin has already commented this is london's intention but could not clarify. what measures are moscow ready to take so that, if such deliveries do take place ? moreover, a serious build-up of a qualitative build-up of escalation. uh, the statement of some western representatives that there is nothing to worry about. eh, nothing is forbidden. e from the category. uh, depleted uranium ammunition we not violating any conventions, but uh, still remember how what the results of the use

of ammunition with combined uranium. yes, led to yugoslavia in iraq when tens of thousands and civilians. yes, and actually the nato military who used these ammunition troubles. muranam e suffered a sharp surge, oncological yes and other dangerous diseases for a decade the soil was contaminated. this, by the way, to the question that the west, a, cares about increasing agricultural production in ukraine and, e, cares about the export of ukrainian grain, developing countries, including africa , the use of ammunition with combined uranium will sharply reduce, and if at all retain ukraine's ability to produce high-quality food, not contaminated. but if, and if we say that, uh,

there is no international convention prohibiting the use of ammunition with combined uranium, then yes, there is no such convention . there is not yet. e because a number of countries prevent the development of such a document, including leading western countries, and it is significant that a in in the absence of a convention, the general assembly regularly considers resolutions calling for no, use, do not produce and do not use munitions themselves during the day with uranium , so every time judge for yourself, as far as our reaction is concerned, of course we will take this into account, and in our actions we have a commitment to international ones. on the norms, and

the introduction of war we have military doctrine, and as the president said, as the minister of defense said, we will have to take into account. and the fact that our british colleagues are taking this escalation to a new very serious step. the press conference is over. thanks to all. thank you. it was a live broadcast of a joint press conference of the foreign ministers of russia and eritrea from sochi, cooperation in the military-technical sphere, energy and other areas. russia and moli are developing cooperation in a number of areas of work. this was discussed today at a meeting by the speaker of the federation council and

today we really had a promising meeting with madam prosecutor general, and we agreed to develop our relations in various areas of mutual interest. i suggested uh, madam general work bankruptcy about teaching students, and in the russian university prosecutor's office. we are also ready to come here on a systematic basis. and this is to give a lecture, uh, to an employee of the prosecutor's office and with another employee of the authorities about different e modern practices that still call for a statement of interest and now the national presence is very important

for us last year. i was at the economic forum in vladivostok, we met. stay there with president vladimir putin and this gave a new impetus to business ties in the states. now your trip strengthens the established friendship, trust and mutual understanding between our countries. this morning, the russian military repelled a drone attack in crimea, as sergei shoigu reported three drones to the collegium of the ministry of defense they were supposed to hit objects in sevastopol, but they were destroyed, it is noteworthy that two of them were shot down by girls by a senior sailor and, uh,
