the leader of a country that is a permanent member of the security council, but he also positions himself and claims to be the leader of the whole, the entire european union, no more, no less. the fact that i do not have reliable data on the number and nomenclature of military specialists who are in ukraine, but the fact that they are there is a fact, despite the vehement denials by the united states of our former western european partners. there are people there who, and this is practically no secret, who help ukraine and the armed forces ukraine in target setting , targeting, satellite tracking, in determining where to hit them with missiles that they supply, so this is a secret of the prishinel, in fact, in addition to volunteers, there are military specialists, active specialists are there any member countries? attention, what they

are guided by, after all, why this is being done, well, obviously not by common sense, well , they are guided by their political, military-strategic guidelines to inflict a strategic defeat on russia or, according to at least weaken it as much as possible, and this is the thesis that russia should not win, and ukraine should not lose, this is pronounced officially, despite the fact that american and european union leaders say, they often contradict themselves, they say the opposite, but ... the goal, the goal is stated and in their understanding it is being realized, although these are, of course, of course, unrealistic dreams, judging by the reaction of the white house, these words of macron, well, at least that’s how they are trying to imagine it, came as some kind of unpleasant surprise for them , but at the same time despite everything, they continue to seriously, firstly , discuss military assistance to ukraine, the allocation of insane tens of billions. plus

, the pentagon again started talking about the fact that this year f16 combat aircraft will be delivered to kiev. well, the hackneyed phrase red line, it seems to me that it is not very appropriate, and nevertheless, this will be perceived by us as if airplanes are delivered or if these airplanes fly from airfields located in some place to carry out their combat missions. .. but we have already done this several times commented and the fate of these aircraft is unenviable, like the fate of the american and german leopards, abrams, which are regularly, regularly destroyed on the battlefield, the same will happen with the aircraft, you remember how ukraine announced in the newspapers a counter-offensive, this was done a month ago three. four, and maybe even more

, before the very beginning of the contour offensive, now that we have heard, and we have heard, that there are such plans, about the supply of f16 combat aircraft, our military commented on this, the minister commented on this, and of aircraft, which are theoretically capable of carrying nuclear weapons, we have time to prepare for this and find adequate answers if such aircraft appear in the skies over ukraine. i remember how 2 years ago, sitting in this room, shortly after the start of a special military operation, we talked. then we agreed, perhaps, in the opinion that now, in a sense , russian diplomats were also on the front line, these were all attempts by the west to designate our position as the position of people in isolation and so on, what are the dynamics that has changed during this time how we feel now in the organization of the united nations, and have we changed places with them, is there a feeling that now the westerners are at...

well, we always feel cheerful in the organization of the united nations, what now, that 2 years ago, it changed, yes , it’s obvious, it’s obvious to everyone, including themselves, fatigue from the ukrainian plot, including the fatigue of the initiators of discussing this issue in the security council and in the general assembly, here we have in the past friday, as you know, was the anniversary, the second anniversary of the start of a special military operation, which... which they wanted to widely celebrate in the general assembly in the security council, a landing party of european, so-called foreign ministers of the european union arrived. the meeting of the general assembly turned out to be very inexpressive; frankly speaking, they read their bravura speeches in support of ukraine. the ukrainian minister spoke, simply faded, a little more lively during the security council after lunch, i don’t know, maybe he smoked a cigar at lunch and...

i cheered up, but it left the impression that the majority of un member countries were set on edge by this, which, by the way, they talked about later in the corridors, this is always interesting, their such... sincere, lively, off-camera reaction, well, for example, even representatives of the countries of the global south , what is it like now regarding ukraine, some of the comments they give are not for broadcast, but over these 2 years they have probably begun to understand more about what is happening, that this is not unleashed by russia war against ukraine, and that this story did not begin in february twenty-two, much earlier, it has a prehistory, it has a genesis and...

a certain feeling of déjà vu arises and i want to check my own guesses, on the one hand, maybe we don’t know something, and some process is already underway, the second point , it seems to me, is interesting, well, zelensky himself has forbidden himself to negotiate, he insists on a certain zelensky formula, which westerners support there, while on may 20 zelensky himself will be outside the brackets of his own formula, will be multiplied by zero, like... . the legitimate president of ukraine, how we need to behave in this complex structure, what we need to wait for, does it even make sense to conduct any negotiations with ukraine before may 20 or wait until some other legitimate leader is there, no negotiations with ukraine does not go either directly

or through any intermediaries, we naturally welcome any constructive proposals for negotiations, we have always stated that... we did not refuse them, but our negotiations ended in two episodes: the first was in april of twenty-two , as you know, when ukraine refused to sign the initialed agreement in istanbul on the direct orders of boris johnson and the ukrainian transoceanic sponsors, this is the first second, when zelensky signed a decree prohibiting him from dealing with the russian leadership, now they are worn like decommissioned bags. with the so-called zelensky peace formula, which is not a peace formula, it is a mockery of the peace plan in general, in fact it is an ultimatum to russia , it is clear that this, that this in no way can serve as the beginning of any negotiations, the task is crafty, but simple, to drag

as many countries as possible there and portray broad international support for this initiative to ukraine, many countries of the global south have already understood this, which at first... were participants in this copenhagen process, because it all started in copenhagen, then in jidi continued in other places in dawas recently, they simply came out of there , they just don’t travel, china, the same brazil and many others, switzerland, recently there was a meeting of the general assembly and the swiss minister of foreign affairs approached me, who mysteriously told me that they were going to hold some kind of summit on ukraine and switzerland. somewhere closer to the summer, this is an idea that zelensky himself has been running around with for a long time. when i asked whether this meant an invitation to russia, the minister avoided answering, saying that well, this is the first step, we are creating conditions for possible future sites where you could discuss something,

you understand that all this is not serious, absolutely not serious, especially since the opposite side has no desire to talk to us about anything, as for the fact that will be after may 20, i... i can’t comment on ukrainian domestic political life, but i think that zelensky will probably find some formula that will allow him to continue his vigorous political activity, he will find it, that’s how it will be be perceived even on the un site as who will sit there, kislitsa, as a representative of what, what regime, i don’t know yet, we’ll find out after may 20, you said that ukrainians in general are not interested in negotiations. but they are always interested in money, the same kuleba, then i just saw a video, acted like such a fitter of the swordsmen of ukrainian politics, he began to quote 12 chairs, talk about how money is in the morning, chair in the evening and so on, that is, they have already dropped to this level, and an interesting

statement was made the day before from washington, it was said that biden had no legal basis for asset confiscation. are they somehow related to the charter of the united nations? firstly, it’s good that kuleba knows soviet classics, i think, not only 12 chairs, as a person who gave birth in soviet times, i’m sure that he knows other classics, although now he’s unlikely to admit it, of course, there are no rules, in general, this is called in one simple word, this is an attempt at theft, so our western partners, they are racking their brains and ... they are poring over legal formulas on how to legally justify this and cannot yet find anything, because as soon as they

did this, they know that the europeans have frozen interest on deposits, on russian deposits, but they are afraid of the deposits themselves touch, because this of course, this will of course be a disaster for the entire system of the international, international monetary and financial system, they don’t have any legal, legally justified decisions in this regard, they want to, but they’re hesitant. and of course, of course, nothing like this simply exists in any un charter, or in any un documents. you often emphasize that the most serious crisis in the world right now is not the situation around russia’s special military operation in ukraine, but the situation in the middle east. scale what happens there is visible every day. recently news came that...

the united states, what are our complaints against the americans here, why is biden so confident that almost at the end of this, beginning of next week? is there a ceasefire expected? indeed, the conflict in the middle east is now the hottest topic that is being discussed all over the world, not only in the un, and it’s not just the situation in gas, which is catastrophic, we just discussed this topic yesterday, the topic, the topic of hunger in gas 6,000 people are on the verge of starvation, what consequences will all this have for the younger generation? it is difficult to predict, but this, in fact, is actually a genocide

of the future, this is being done purposefully, in our opinion, but in addition to the situation in gas itself, which is discussed regularly, perhaps even now there because of the position of one well-known country, there are risks that this the conflict will escalate into a regional, regional and, god forbid , global escalation, surprisingly, but you probably remember the forecast... regarding ukraine, that soon everyone will forget about ukraine, because in the middle east in the twenty -fourth year or twenty-third, he said, a conflict would begin that threatens the third world war, that’s how it is, that’s how it came true, what’s happening around yemen, how the americans and their british allies respond this is, in essence, aggression against a sovereign country, what is happening on the border. lebanon and israel, unrest in the arab world, this is all, this is all fraught,

fraught, the middle east has always been a powder keg, now the match has already been struck, but we are dealing with, well, outright sabotage one of the members of the permanent security council of its basic functions, we can talk about this, it is, of course, of course, talk about this resolution, this...

egypt, rush to the sinai peninsula, which causes great fears of egypt itself, and in general this is unacceptable , everyone is talking about this, i believe that not only we will not support this resolution. we are working quietly, we come to an agreement, now there is a process for the release of hostages in an exchange, let us work quietly, this resolution will ruin everything, that’s their logic, so to speak crafty, in fact, of course, they are trying with all their might to prevent the security council from sending the only signal it can send to israel, and

an immediate ceasefire, only after an immediate ceasefire is it possible to provide humanitarian assistance. and any assistance to the unfortunate population of gas, look, these are the practices, delaying, blurring with a deliberate decrease in the rate of effectiveness of any diplomatic efforts, they are implemented not only in the middle east, take at least the investigation of explosions northern flows, at what stage is it now? well, you saw the statement from sweden and denmark on this matter, which stopped the investigation, saying that it was obvious , of course, it was sabotage, but they have no information about the matter - they have no possible suspicions of the suspects, accordingly the investigation was stopped, now we have germany is next in line, the last country in which national investigations are still underway. they, as you know, did not allow us to participate in the investigation, although we are the owners, the owners of these undermined

gas pipelines, so they are in a deplorable state, not at all, but they will not be able to cover up this topic. because we plan to raise it in the near future in the security council, first perhaps in a consultation format, and then we will talk in an open format, too, and this does not prevent them from accusing us without evidence of something else, but the last one was here a scandal, it is such an internal american one, but of course it also took on an international dimension, when suddenly , for no apparent reason, they began accusing russia of what russia was allegedly trying to place.

a meeting of a group of government experts on space, and i think that this will be one of the hottest topics, because the americans will probably promote there, we annually put forward initiatives related to peaceful space at the general assembly, including preventing the first from placing weapons in space, i don’t know what data they base their fabrications on, but according to one version, this was done, among other things, in order to justify the allocation. financial assistance to ukraine, which, like you you know, it’s slowing down, slowing down with the us congress, this is the crisis we ’re talking about now, the roots of it all go to the bottom, that is, there is clearly a need to rebalance the security council, in the security council there is a group

obedient to the hegemon or the former or losing power to the hegemon of countries that... with this group, yes, with their shouting, they create the feeling that then this is presented there to the western viewer, as the whole world thinks, the whole world thinks, we stand for reform of the security council at what principles, who would we like to see in the security council? the point is not only that they shout loudly, but also that they have a controlling stake, in the sense that they always have nine votes of obedient executors of their orders, and that the un resolution in the security council be adopted , nine votes are needed if we put forward some kind of resolution, they don’t need to use the right of veto, they just vote nine votes against, this is not considered a veto, but we are constantly accused of abusing

the right of veto, but we rarely resort to it and in exceptional cases only when we fail to agree, when they push through decisions that run counter to the interests of maintaining international security or against our national interests, the veto is an extreme case , which is a legitimate tool, after all, we we are not accusing the americans of the illegitimacy of their use of the right of veta in the last four cases, we are saying that it is not justified, but we are not saying that they do not have the right to do this, this the latter is the last resort if the members of the security council, especially the five, fail to agree among themselves, reform is overdue, it’s true, there is talk. here for a very long time, the problem is that the positions of groups of countries, and there are associations that promote the agenda on behalf of an entire group of countries, are so diametrically

opposed, and the point here is not in the permanent members of the security council, but in these countries, that it is not yet possible to reach an agreement we cannot, we are talking about what, of course, the security council in its current form does not reflect realities, the balance of power that has developed on the planet today, and there is an obvious...

well, are there, let’s say, nongrat persons on your list, for example, there are no nongrat persons on my list, communicate, we communicate regularly, and this cannot be avoided in the council, it’s simply impossible, both at the expert level and at the level of the spreaders, probably after 20 after february of the twenty-second year, especially at first, it was noticeable, especially among our anglo-saxon partners, relations changed, because before that they, despite all ours. ..there were disagreements in the council always friendly, i spoke about this several times, but then they came to their senses , it took time, i won’t name specific countries, but now, now this

communication takes place also in an informal informal manner, including in the format of working lunches , dinners, meetings and so on. what future of the united nations is it bright or is it unclear, never an easy life. there was no united nations organization, when they say that everything was before, everything was fine and we could make decisions, now everything has changed and the united nations has become impotent, this is not true, there have always been contradictions, including in the security council between the great powers, the question is that then it was possible to maintain a balance of interests even in the same palestinian-israeli conflict , when... the yom kippur war happened in the year seventy-three, the security council adopted three resolutions in 9 days, the first on an immediate ceasefire, the second on the provision

of humanitarian assistance and the third after 9 days demanding that israel and the parties to the conflict immediately cease fire, because this requirement of the first resolution was not fulfilled, then it was possible, now, as you see, a lot has changed, of course, the geopolitical situation is changing. new realities arise, new centers of power arise , new contradictions arise, this will always remain in the organization, but there is nothing to replace it, no one can invent another wheel, it has already been invented, it is a universal organization, of which almost all countries are members peace, so the future in the future of an easy life for the un, of course, i don’t promise, but it will remain, reform... there is an itch in the organization, especially, especially on the part of our western partners, because they would like to dilute this organization, which bears is still purely intergovernmental

in nature, despite the fact that it has an element of civil society participation, to dilute this intergovernmental character, to introduce topics for discussion at the un that do not enjoy consensus support, which are the priorities of these countries, this concerns both the social block and the economic block, human rights, of course. negotiations are currently underway on the so-called pact of the future, which should be adopted at the anniversary summit of the organization during the high-level week of the next session of the general assembly. difficult negotiations because the future of the country and the group of countries see differently. what kind of future we will put into this document will be very interesting to see. thank you, vasily alekseevich. thank you, valentin. this was america, all the best to you. public

control. how many cameras are they filming here ? no, cameras are needed so that voting can be observed. there are observers at the site, and all important places are under constant video surveillance. tables of members of the election commission, places of issuance, storage, movement of all ballots in redemption packages. ballot boxes and ballot counting locations, and all completed ballots are sealed. in bags and stored in separate safes or metal cabinets. i wonder who watches these videos? they can watch the broadcast candidates, parties, public observers, and if necessary, the recording can be rewinded and watched again. everything is transparent and under control.
