about the impeachment proceedings in america to which sergey lavrov said something like. well hey i'm not an american you are this is something for you to assess and this was pretty much the end of it a question came from a journalist. in austria in response to the dissolute to the departure of the russian government by dmitry medvedev socialist obviously everyone is curious as to whether sergey lavrov will remain the foreign minister of this country in fact he's been the top diplomat of russia for 16 years i can say but if you know sergei lavrov for quite a while you actually do realize that he's someone who never responds to these questions directly what sergey lavrov responded to that was i get. tasks from my bosses in particular he's talking about the head of the government and also by the president vladimir putin and what i do is i just do my job and i don't care about all these speculations they tell me to do my job and i do my job this was the answer from sergey lavrov. our to their potential thank you for bringing us that report. more news coming your way after th

sergei, good evening. is there any news? sergei does not write back. we can see from the complete string of text messages that a couple of weeks later, lev tries again. hello, sergei? hello? that's a couple of weeks later. then a couple of months later, question mark. are you blocking me? in fact, sergei schaffer never writes back to lev again just as lev said. he said he cut me off from that conversation. and then what happened next after he didn't hear back from sergei schaffer on the night of the 12th, according to lev, he relayed back to religion in washington, or at least in the united states, that it was in lev's words, a no go. remember the threat was vice president pence would cancel his plans to attend the inauguration unless they announced those investigations. the way lev told the story, he relayed home it's a no go. they're not going to do it. rudy told him, they'll see. the next morning, mike pence would cancel his trip to go to zelensky's inauguration. the way lev explained it, the way lev laid out this bombshell assertion about vice pres

again sergei's words."when he heard castro countenance a first strike in the united states, alexiev stood speechless, frozen, holding his breath as he heard castro telling him it is either we or they. cuba and the communist world or the united states. if we want to avoid receiving the first strike, said castro, if an attack is inevitable, then wipe them off the face of the earth." "alexiev," writes sergei "was crushed, by his comrades' thinking." crushed. not waiting for an answer as castro started to write his feelings on paper, which seems like he was writing last testament, a farewell. fidel was ready to go, to go up in a giant mushroom cloud, for marxism. so khrushchev, as khrushchev found this out, he immediately called a late sunday night meeting in moscow at the kremlin. the soviet leader did with his advisers. they met in the code room of the soviet foreign ministry. and khrushchev ordered immediately, exact words, remove quickly ase them as possible, get the missiles out of there. because these tw

shaffer, good evening sergei, is there any news? >> sergei did not write back. a couple of weeks later, parnas tried again. hello? question mark? hello. are you blocking me? in fact, sergei safer never writes back to lev again. >> he cut me off from that conversation. what happens next after he did not hear back with shefir. he relayed back to rudy giuliani in washington or at least in the united states that it was in lev's word a "no-go." the threat is to cancel his plans of the inauguration. the way lev told the story he relayed home to washington, it is a no go. they're not going to do it. rudy told him they'll see. the 13th, mike pence would cancel his trip go to zelensky's inauguration. that's what lev threatened on behalf of the white house. the way lev explained it and lev laid out this bomb shell assertion of vice president mike pence of his involvement in this scheme on this pressure campaign in ukraine to make a visit and all these other things that the ukrainian government wanted and needed from the u.s. government making it contingent on announcing t

sergei would become his biographer. 1959,ober 12, this is sergei, by oct 12, alexi avenue, top sovieticial, was already made with check avera and on the 15th he met with fidel castro. in february, 1960, he organized the soviet international trade exhibit. so they were already having communications. and it looks like by 1960 there were already soviet military advisers. that were in cuba. definitely soviet political officials. and it looks like even way back in 1960 that mccoy and and khrushchev and others were already talking about putting soviet missiles in cuba. at that point. so that is all going on in 1960. all right. so all that happening. here is a date for you. ready? 1961. 3, that was the date the u.s. formally severed all diplomatic relations with cuba. so if you are looking for kind of a flashpoint, january 1961. at that point, i can still president. jfk is inaugurated a couple of weeks later around january 17, january 20, 19 621. so jfk comes into office and he is trying to figure out what to do with castro and wants to get rid of castro and he finds out the previous ministr

time after time at this press event the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov it seems had nor their choice but to keep talking about washington's behavior in terms of how it deals with other countries according to the tactic of constantly building up pressure while at the same time turning a blind eye on the international law it's not only that it hasn't changed in the previous year but actually expand it take for example the russia japan relations moscow believes that they have fallen victim to washington's alliance with tokyo which according to circle of rob is being used by the americans to continue convincing the rest of the world that russia is an enemy and a threat you can get that you put in is hosting us anti missile defense systems and our japanese colleagues have been telling us all along it's meant as defense against the korean threats and that's only the japanese military will have control over it but it's the very same u.s. launches that have been tested by the u.s. not only for launching anti missile defensive but also offensive missiles and have a look at the u.s. mil

today by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov. if you put in the terms to me and lie about our country both was regard to reasons and outcomes of the 2nd world war and attempts to now use these lies to undermine russia's position in the international arena a bound to continue we know for a fact that our polish colleagues are trying to get western countries attending the commemoration ceremony in jerusalem to poland's viewpoint on world war 2 you know it's simply beyond the pale especially given the tragic context of the event when articles from geneva trinket was on that press conference for lover of made those remarks let's cross live to him now. seems like russia's foreign minister then was was putting the focus on the lessons of history. while indeed. neal hi the world will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the defeat over nazi germany this year and this is a really big deal for this country which lost millions and millions of lives in this war so several times the russian top diplomat called out some countries baltic stat
