look at what's going on in the ukraine, where the proxies be destroyed before seriously tried to pro russia. but at least they're going to go through the motions of ted so, so it's very interesting here. so there is no longer a pretense to pan european security. because if you want pans, european security, you have to include russia. but really what now we've had and scott's ride from a, i would say it shows the century from the very beginning of nato and, and of course, after the end of the cold war, this is directed at russia, excluding russia. you cannot have pan european security without russia. that's something they don't seem to understand or want to acknowledge. go ahead. you don't have to agree for many years. i've been saying that nato claims to have partnership arrangements just not more than that with which it's about everyone in europe, although very clearly that's not the case anymore. and you know, the mask is finally slip that gets finally out of the bag. but for many years it was, it was only practical allies like said germany, we didn't want conflict with russia who insiste

well, in particular, of course, and pro-russia, too. are you with us? congratulations.so, the united states of america japan they stopped buying russian gold, the eu is also thinking about it now, it was discussed at the meeting of the g7 countries, is it so important for russia to lose this market of gold products or gold bars, any sanction against russia, this specific policy is not critically important, but their totality and should dispose of the economy of russia. if it is gold, russia is one of the largest producers of gold in the world, its exports of gold bring about 19 billion dollars to the country every year, in fact this is quite a substantial sum, the only thing is that of course, again, this embargo will be incomplete because it will be a country of the civilized world, and the gold chip is such that it is loved more in uncivilized countries, we remember that at the beginning of the 90s, when many people appeared from with huge gold, have they now become a little bit lazy? and the largest, for example, the largest buyer of gold imports a lot of gold , and

, at least looking quite bizarre to me, there lots of people who you could not accused of being pro russia or food tennis. so something like that. obviously we know that the ukranian authorities have been cracking down on political opposition. what do you think this says about key of attitude towards concepts like freedom of speech and democracy? i think that they're, they're kind of taking a walk out of the playbook of a lot of what american liberals do it just do just accuse everyone they disagree with them being a russian propaganda. of course, we see this all over democratic party, propaganda and liberal media in the united states. what strikes me is more that you have this callous and not true for argument in the western world that you are crying is a perfect democracy that is queued in the western world where people must know that that is not our perfect democracy with the freedoms that officially, the western world are emphasizing and advocating and have been advocating the order over the world with bad results. and now becoming more and more authoritarian themselves, they say that

look at what's going on in your brain where the proxy is being destroyed before seriously tried to pro russia. but at least they're going to go through the motions of test. so it's very interesting here. so there is no longer a pretense to pan european security. because if you want pans, european security, you have to include russia. but really what now we've had and scott's ride from a, i would say it shows essentially from the very beginning of nato and, and of course, after the end of the cold war, this is directed at russia, excluding russia. you cannot have pan european security without russia. that's something they don't seem to understand or want to acknowledge. go ahead. you don't have to agree for many years. i've been saying that nato claims to have partnership arrangements just not more than that with which it's about everyone in your below very clearly, that's not the case anymore. and you know, the math is finally slip that gets finally out of the bag. but for many years it was, it was only practical allies like say, germany, we didn't want conflict with russia who insisted that

choosing closer trade ties with russia, the president was forced out in a violent crew the talk, and the pro european parliament took charge of ukraine and invited foreign specialists to advise them on how to run the country. the relationship with russia had been badly mismanaged, trying to bring georgia ukraine to nato, was truly overreaching recklessly ignoring what the russians considered their own vital national interests. not everyone was happy with this pro western sentiment, especially in the southeastern part of ukraine, which has always felt closer to russia. some of its residents are ethnically, russian, or have relatives in russia, most ukrainians speak russian and is the predominant language in some regions. attempts to balance only added fuel to the fire. ukraine's neil ne took advantage of the situation and began to literally wipe out the russian speaking population. they formed fascist battalion, some of which even became part of the country's armed forces. crimea was the 1st ukrainian region. so express discontent and voted to return to russia. later the people have done boss

further there helga is a cloak, the founders, the president of the schiller institute , are pro-russian in russiaom of speech, unlike the usa and the west in general, the usa is enslaving ukraine, if a digital examination proves that it is this narrative that you asked about that appeared on february 20, the third in russian, well, it was repeatedly duplicated and the person clearly fulfills the task, then what are we talking about about coordinated inauthentic behavior and this is another responsibility and we hope that what we need to talk about today is digital documentation of a crime, you just started talking about it. i just immediately remembered when it started. well, it didn't start, but it would have been continued for mariupol. and in the end, the rashists, well , they occupied it, then they organized it for journalists, or rather, for propagandists , and that's how i tracked it. exactly the so-called well, no so-called western journalists who were also invited there by the russians, and one guy caught my eye, his name is john mark dugan, and why is it that the russian media, as journa

they, i have a clearly one sided bias, slant pro ukraine, anti russia. anything. and they're great now appealing to silence and censor russian media when it is russian media and independent media on the ground here that are actually reporting are ukraine's daily or crimes against the civilians have done yet. a dumbass, i'm sorry. and again, in this case, against ukraine's own army. just one more question here for you will, eva. russia's defense ministry's position, of course, is that this was the provocation, aimed at intimidating ukrainian soldiers and preventing them from surrendering. what do you make of that? i mean, that's possible, we've seen similar things in syria, we had in syria a terrorist, whether there are al qaeda for syria, army, isis, et cetera, intimidating civilians from it wouldn't be the same as surrendering. but from crossing from terrorist held areas into syrian government areas intimidating down by threats that the government would rape or execute them. so we, and we've seen the same kind of strategies that have played out in syria being pla

the russian federation you know, it even reminds me of 1996, when yeltsin's russia was preparing to seize crimea and the then pront yury mishko , do you remember that too ? was headed by a citizen of russia and the presidential administration was also headed by a citizen of russia , that is, the russians do not even think that these so -called natives can manage anything, even if they run with the tricolor. well, they have been developing this scenario for a long time. remember the times when yanukovych had a minister of defense even two defense ministers of russia are russian, 20%. in one committee there was how he became the minister of defense who killed his subordinates with a chair. so this is all a scenario that has already been worked out in them and they traditional and they want to include everything in their composition. that is, there is such a movement of the empire to expand, because the empire cannot exist until it expands. i am only the empire is beginning to narrow, dying, that is, and you are sure that it is the empire and not the mafia. look, we remembered this of yours . a so-called colleague

s. reverts to its usual narrative grasping at straws in an attempt to put the blame on russia and pros. testers take it to the streets of paris, arguing that ukrainian refugees are being treated substantially better than those from war torn countries in the middle east and africa. we've heard from some of the demonstrators, we've all seen the ukrainians go through difficult times, but africa has also been going through the same thing for decades. why do they deserve to be better accommodated than other refugees? french from war and misery. we see many women and children who france has left behind on the street today with broadcasting from our studios in moscow. this is our international and john thomas from the glad to have you with us. russia has temporarily a halted gas supplies at through a key pipeline to germany, north stream for 10 days of scheduled maintenance work. but berlin fears it must prepare for a potential permanent halt to all russian gas imports. that's what germany's economy minister robert k back warned. as russia announced, the maintenance would begin on monday. now

that russian peace has landed on some good ground which fueled by the same propagandists in russia , including pro-russian parties and pro-russian politicians, we saw that over the past 30 years we had a whole pool of politicians who worked openly for moscow, that is, moscow gave cheap or discounted gas, and more than one generation of politicians and businessmen grew up on this and people who, let's say , used this service. although this service was in exchange for loyalty to moscow, i remember the endless negotiations between ukraine and russia. before every winter period, russia and constantly blackmailed the leadership, starting with kravchuk and ending, well, in fact, under poroshenko , this blackmail came to naught, in fact, but this whole generation in ukrainian politics also, uh, obviously needs a certain kind of reboot , because uh, well, probably 70 percent of ukrainians politicians were still formed in these difficult conditions, do you think that after we finish the final battle with the russian federation, which has already been going on there for not even 8 years, but 300 years or 40
