[000:00:00;00] and resolutions were adopted by the general assembly of the security council regarding the palestinian problem, however , none of them were essentially implemented, including by the israeli authorities, so what do you expect from a people who have a doctrine, an idea , but his rights are not realized. palestinians are a free people. they are part of the islamic mind, which is over 2 billion people, so, therefore, when we see the results, the consequences of this position, and we see that

the israelis insist that to act exactly like this, and as a result, spontaneous attacks on gas are carried out, there is destruction, while the israelis use the entire arsenal they have, so they openly declare their responsibility for these events, they decided to stop the supply of water and electricity not only in order to humiliate people who live there, they even call them words that i don’t want to say, this is an insult to all humanity, today the international

community must, some kind of agreements, international principles that regulate this situation and regulate the situation in the world, or nothing like that exists at all, and any country in the world can take its own steps at its own discretion, this is wrong, we live in a world in which, in which the forces of good need to unite, so mr. president , i appeal to you, as... the president of the country, a permanent member of the security council, the un, to come up with an initiative for a ceasefire, a real ceasefire, to find a real solution to the palestinian problem, since the consequences of these challenges we are not even can predict for the entire region we

are talking about. about the arab and islamic streets, they are just seething now, they see the events that are taking place in palestine, the murders , the attack on the gaza strip, i would add that the position of russia that you mentioned, i just outlined it, it did not develop today, not in connection with these tragic events, she folded. decades, and this position is well known to the israeli side, our friends in palestine, we have always advocated the implementation of the decision of the un security council, bearing in mind first of all, the creation of an independent sovereign palestinian state, this is the root of all problems, and naturally, everything that has accompanied this problem in recent years has aggravated it, this is settlement

activity, by the way, and... this does not mean that this is israel’s position this is that you need to do as the position of the united states does, that ’s what i said, there, solve only issues of a material nature, russia’s position is different, create an independent state, in fact the problem is more complicated and in the states there are many political figures and experts who believe that we need to listen and follow the path of creating an independent state, there are such people, but those who for decades have been trying to solve this problem by force, but unfortunately, lead to such tragic incidents that we are seeing now, let me return to mr. prime

minister of iraq once again, can this... this escalation expand and go beyond the palestinian territories and israel. don't be afraid of what might happen. the iranian-israeli confrontation, the continuation of the bombing of gaza, as we see it now, hints of what will be done, a ground operation, all this, all this leads to madness in the regions, as i mentioned, the islamic, arab street is heated, it sees all these crimes. and ignoring, not taking into account the opinions of ordinary people, very, very poses a great threat to the whole world, he is not

speaking on a microphone, moral, what is the impact of what is happening on the energy market, in particular the oil markets, how this can affect energy markets? first of all, this can affect logistics, it can immediately affect insurance. immediately fragt and so on, of course, all this can affect, of course, this will not affect production, but it can affect all other components that determine the state of the world energy markets, these are completely obvious things, if god forbid the conflict

grows, then this influence will be inevitable, in my opinion, i don’t understand why the united states is dragging aircraft carrier groups into the mediterranean sea, one they say there, they announce something like a second one, meaning. i don’t really see that they are going to bomb lebanon or what, what are they going to do, or have they simply decided to scare someone, well, there are people there who are no longer afraid of anything, this is not the way to solve problems, look for compromise solutions, that’s it . what needs to be done, of course, these are the actions that escalate the situation if, as you said, the conflict goes beyond the pastinian territories. let's see, i hope

that common sense prevails, can mr. prime minister of iraq, who o... that the arab street is now very excited. an attack on objects of american or western countries that israel supports, are you not afraid that something similar could happen, for example, in iraq, to ​​which i said that... this means that pressure will increase on the government of arab countries, so that they accept, take a clear position, the expansion

of the crisis and conflict in the region will undoubtedly disrupt stability, we as a government are trying to fulfill our responsibilities in de-escalation, in our countries, our tasks, it makes no difference whether we work with friendly countries or unfriendly ones, but it is important for us to respond to the challenges that arise, and answering the question that you addressed to mr. president, supplies, supplies of energy resources. there are also threats that these supplies may stop, this is a very sensitive region, a very important region that fills

energy markets with resources, the tasks of opec and opec plus also include responding to political challenges, among other things, in order to maintain market stability. but you can't flirt with security and stability in the middle east region, because otherwise it will be very difficult to bring the situation back under your control and stop the influence on the electricity market, thank you very much, mr. prime minister, from the conflict in the middle east, to the escalation there, to the ukrainian crisis to the development of the situation, there from the point of view of the impact on energy problems, and my question to mr. president vladimir putin, what is the impact of the special military operation that you

ordered to begin in february? i said this in in my speech, so indirectly, but i can repeat, to specify some things , some of our former partners, primarily in the united states in europe, mainly in europe, began to refuse our energy resources, introduce certain restrictions, price, there in terms of volumes, on insurance, on freight, well, there were a lot of all sorts of restrictions, i told you what the result was, well, firstly, yes, we could, probably, probably, our energy industry could have worked with better effect over the previous one and a half years years, but the result of the work is good, firstly, and secondly, we

fulfill all our obligations. within the country and in front of our partners who want to work with us, and those who impose these restrictions , uh, they are faced with problems that they cannot solve yet, well, they refused our natural gas, well, they sort of refused, but the prices have grown, simply to the skies, not to mention those prices that were clearly speculative. euro for 1000 cubic meters, well , now it’s somewhere around 350, under 400, well , it doesn’t matter, somewhere in this it fluctuates back and forth they go, but this is also a lot for the european market, this is a big price , they blew it up, which means the northern flows, no one is investigating, i am surprised by the position of many european countries, this is an obvious act of international

terrorism, and... apparently, on at the state level, because just like that, some team of people who suddenly decided to blow up gas pipelines, independently , without support at the state level , could not carry out such an act, it is not possible, it requires technology, specially trained people, and so on further, no one is investigating, our repeated requests to take part in this investigation are being ignored, well... all the leading industrialized countries of europe in their industrial production are going into minus and gdp growth is in minus and the federal republic of germany is 0.000, in my opinion , holland.

industrial leading countries of europe, the standard of living of the population has fallen , as i said, minus 1.2%, this is the real disposable income of the population has fallen, we have growth of + 4.4%, for the second quarter plus 5.3%, data for the eurozone for this no position yet. well maybe maybe it will be a little better than the drop of -1.2, but still, this is an indicator of what is happening in the economy, first of all , they are refusing our gas, the question is, why, look, we have two pipeline systems across the territories ukraine, one is working, transit is underway, europe is receiving our gas, ukraine has taken it. closed the second route, well, listen, she

receives money from europe, monthly 4-5 billion dollars, well, partly from the usa, but largely from europe, europe could well have said, well, open the route quickly, we need this, to support our economy, no, why is one route possible, one route can transport gas to europe, but not another way, i don’t understand, or... the poles took and closed emalo europe, a huge route, powerful, they took it closed, it was their initiative, but germany could have said, listen. uh you, we are the largest donor to european funds. poland, at least until recently, was the largest recipient of money from these funds. well, you could say, listen, if you're biting with this hand, don’t bite it, open up the route for us, turn on the gas, no, i don’t really understand what’s going on there,

but it’s clear that the modern political system sometimes raises not very competent people to the top, okay, but what mechanisms of public... well, parliamentary control over compliance with decisions made, at least in the economic sphere, whether this mechanism should exist or not, it should, but it doesn’t work either, well, what are we doing, these markets are all cancel equally, i gave examples and showed this is not our data and the data of international structures, how will the growth trend of markets, say, in asia in latin america, how will it decline in europe, and we... are leaving for promising markets, anyway, we still did this anyway before any crises, but this trend does not upset us, but surprises us, because we are not cutting anything, we are not

reducing the supply, they themselves refuse, but the result is like this, we expect the opposite, we have a saying like this, someone else's hole, into it myself you will fall into this hole, as for oil, my colleagues from object plus and i, this has nothing to do with it directly, it is, of course, indirectly related to the attempts being made to limit our capabilities in the energy sector, including oil, but , but you know, the point is not whether they love us or not, the point is that there is... objective data, here is mr. prime minister, he himself is a great expert in this area, because he runs the government, oil country, but there is a certain volume of production in world, and there is a certain volume of consumption in the world, if you decide to save, it means purchases from

us in some region, but the total volume of consumption is still maintained, which means you have to buy elsewhere, without this it is impossible. you have to be absolutely stupid not to understand this, and since the volume of consumption remains the same, it is impossible without our volumes, which means they abandoned us , they must buy elsewhere, what they do, and the volume that went to other markets, we we replace it there, but we can live without it it’s impossible, you know, and the world economy cannot develop, but they are forced to buy because it’s just a road issue. i'm not even talking about gas, where american lng is 30% more expensive than what mr. miller supplied to europe, 30%, so what has this led to, it means that chemical enterprises, glass factories, and some others are just gradually starting to move to the united states , they move there, work

there, and businesses here are closed, well, this is normal, but why didn’t they understand what this would all lead to, is it necessary? the west opens up and shoots itself in the foot. perhaps let's return to this, to this problem. again, but let me ask mr. prime minister, mohammed sudani, iraq, like others, members of the international system, experienced the full impact of the ukrainian crisis,

did this impact somehow affect your cooperation with russia in the energy sector, we have all heard. your speech, you said that russian companies that operate in iraq, a number of companies, that investments of russian companies in the sector have reached 13 billion dollars, this cooperation continues and corresponds to your ambitions in iraq, iraq has a clear position regarding this crisis and military operation in ukraine, this position comes from the political political

vision of the political system that we have adopted in iraq, the constitution for which the people voted and the principles that it provides and guarantees, iraq is one of those countries that has suffered greatly from wars and blockades, we know very well what we have to pay for these wars, for these problems, we strive for dialogue, we are pushing towards dialogue, since dialogue is the way to end the crisis, achieving an understanding that would ensure and guarantee mutual respect, we very much trust the russian leadership, vladimir personally, that they will try to find

channels for searching for peace even in the current conditions. since this crisis is associated with major economic and humanitarian problems. and iraq, within the framework of its obligations under agreements with russian companies, especially in the oil sector, continues to fulfill its part of its obligations, yes. there are certain difficulties associated with bank transfers, we are trying to find a solution to these problems on a bilateral basis, but norak adheres to its obligations with regard to already issued development licenses and is discussing new cooperation opportunities with russian companies, including in the field of oil . we are looking for

new ways to cooperate and circumvent sanctions. do you mean that these sanctions do not affect russian companies that operate in iraq, russian companies continue their work, as i already said, there are certain difficulties associated with bank transfers, we... dollars as investments in the economy of iraq, they have been working there for a long time, lukuk in the nineties, successfully, yes, mr. prime minister pointed out some of the difficulties of today days related to calculations, with some technical issues, but they are all solvable, this is all solvable, and most importantly, everything that our companies do in the countries of the region, including

iraq, are mutually beneficial contracts, so what if mr. prime minister and his colleagues in the iraqi government, first of all, think about national interests , of course, they support this joint work, only those who, despite seemingly external respectability, still do not possess full sovereignty, do not do this. by the way, you again spoke about our special military operation , i spoke at the valdai club, but this is a different audience, here are business people, they are busy with concrete things, not verbiage, so that’s why i want to say, i’m just for this audience , i repeat once again, war was started in ukraine in 2014, when , after a coup d'etat supported by the united states and europe, they supported the coup d'etat.

began military operations in the south, in the south-east of ukraine, fought for 8 years, killed women, children, old people, and no one paid attention to this, everyone only paid attention to when we began actions aimed at ending this war, that’s about what is this speech, this is a very significant addition to what i am saying, president putin. your comment leads me to ask the following question: is there a number of forecasts, there are, there are a number of observers who believe that what is happening in ukraine is a conflict that has been postponed for at least 30 years, like a conflict between russia and the west, do you agree with this? yes and no, partly why, because after all, after the collapse of the soviet union. we took a number of energetic steps over a long period of time, over decades, a number of steps aimed at

resolving the situation from a historical perspective, a security system in europe that would not infringe on anyone, was would be equal for everyone, an equal security system , i have already said many times, in western europe there were all sorts of ideas to create something new, a new security system, including the united states, and canada, and the central european state of russia, well, along this path, to unfortunately they didn’t go, they took a different path, they promised that they would expand nato and expanded five nato expansions to the east, they took on ukraine, began to drag ukraine there, plus they carried out a coup d’etat there, it became clear to us that there were no civilized ways to ensure our security are impossible, plus they started a war there, as i already said in 1914, and then they abandoned the plans

for a peaceful settlement signed on the basis of documents signed in minsk and... to respond with what we are responding with, because others there are no funds left, president putin about this confrontation between russia and the west, the history of this confrontation. old story , as we all understand, and as everyone understands, and mr. prime minister of iraq, perhaps some say that what we are living now, the world, what is now going through is a new stage of the cold war, the challenges of the threat that what is happening may influence the decision-making strategy in arab

countries, and especially, it is asked that , as for iraq. is iraq trying to work with different axes? there are peculiarities in the development of the policy of each country, as for iraq, we are trying to maintain a balanced one, it has not been an arena for such crises and conflicts as it has been for many years, we we are trying to implement this principle in our politics and believe that iraq, due

to the resources that it has, the weight... heritage, cultural, historical that it has, its strategic, geographical location, is capable of becoming the center of the meeting , resolving all disagreements, searching for mutual interests, mutual respect, this is the principle of our policy, which we are implementing, today we can say with complete confidence that national... we accept in iraq, this is peace, a movement towards peace, peace in the region, peace in the whole world, you are visiting russia for the first time as prime minister, at a time when the collective west is trying to put pressure on the government, on the leaders,

so that... in us relations, for example, with other western countries well, of course not , iraq has the opportunity to make independent, sovereign decisions , build relationships in the way we believe is in our interests, we will not allow anyone to dictate to iraq who our friends are, who our partners are. russian federation state, with which we have historical, historical relations with, we will soon celebrate the eightieth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, and therefore iraq cannot forget russia's role in supporting iraq, iraq during the war on terrorism, supplying
