russia needs turkiye. turkiye needs russia. the west needs russia and russia needs the west.'s a kind of complicated world to understand because we are talking about interdependency. complex interdependency between other state actors and the international system. each one of these actors are actually bound to another one and this one to another one. for that reason, it is very complicated to tear one of these countries out and to say, well, it is ok, we are not working with you anymore. we have to work altogether. and this is about the humanity, it is about humanitarian purposes. in my point of view, we are seeing the elephants somehow in the room, fighting against each other. most of the time we are forgetting about these unfortunately poor countries who are really in need. they are being oppressed by the pressure that is being applied by the great powers. adrian: i want to kick you when two things you said, first on the suspension, and the fact that it could get up and running again. experts are saying that if it lasts longer than a few days, it won't be possible to get it

they gave a very clear answer to the fact that this kind of methods with russia will not work, that russiaill not allow this kind of disregard for its interests. russia came to this decision not easily, president putin just spoke, but very serious. i would even say russia's outstanding patience let's hear it. we extended this deal again and again, prolonging it showed simply miracles, endurance and patience tolerance. we hoped that our foreign colleagues would finally begin to fully comply with the agreed and approved parameters and conditions. however, nothing like this no contractual obligations occurred. uh, no one was going to fulfill, but only constantly demanded something from russia to do, to provide one or the other one second third. just frank impudence and impudence on the promise and empty chatter must say that sincerely. i believe that his employees sincerely strove to fulfill all the promises given by the west to the west. well, they could not achieve anything, but retaliation strikes. in fact, they were not just a punishment for ukraine, but then very brazen attacks that had

russia is naive.at she could make friends with the west and come to an agreement with the united states and great britain thought that they would treat her with dignity. you just need to change your rhetoric and behavior at the same time russia is not aware. that nothing can be done to be accepted in the west by russians considers the russian culture of an inferior culture to be half-human. it seems to me, in part. this is due to the fact that russia has refused to accept the homosexual agenda that has spread so far back in the west today, because there are so many homosexuals in the ruling political circles in the west. the media in the russian banking business is more traditional orthodox, so the question is, what makes it a threat? consider what the russians failed to realize the danger of nato expansion to the east, closer to the border of russia, remember in december 21. putin phoned zhubaiden and spoke with him specifically about the missile system that was deployed in poland and romania, they w

so how did how did we get to russia? how did i get to russia? i was running i was a junior partner in a emerging market fund. and i got calls from a number of people that said you have to look at russia. it's interesting, a market as we've never seen the berlin wall had fallen a few years earlier. the economy had the command economy had spun out of control and had basically frozen in by by 1992, the place was just distraught. there were no go to moscow. there were no cars on the street. there's no no no goods in the shops. everybody walked around with their head held low and. and then in 94, i went back and i saw a whole different picture. the the the green roots of the green shoots of the free market system had started. people were excited. everybody had a deal. investors were showing up from all around the world to look at the assets, assets in russia were trading it one 2% of the value they'd be trading at if they were trading on a western exchange or the u.s. and it was just a very exciting time and it was a really unique opportunity to make

russia must develop a plan. do we act in the conditions of this declared war , not declared to all of russia, not only to russia, but to the whole world we are ready to join russia you are at war to disturb and who will not try sanctions to demonize us to engage in psychological warfare to impose sanctions in war and multilateral activities should culminate in the adoption of similar strategies during their appearance in technology. tourism and other sectors, here is our plan tex we must consider the situation in a historical context. this is the continuation of classical slavery after slavery came the age of colonialism millions of people, the congo indigenous peoples of the north america who belonged to the criminal peoples when they received this land. they needed slaves from africa to cultivate the plantations of the united states the cold war the soviet union was the hope. unfortunately, the leaders of the soviet union made the wrong decision of the soviet union and this is a historical tradition. this is a

ambassador to russia. he talks about ukraine and the political future of russian president vladimir putin following the wagner group rebellion. >> hello and welcome to washington post live. i'm joined by john sullivan. mr. ambassador, welcome to washington post live. >> hey, misty, great to be with you. >> thank you, mr. ambassador. let's dive in i'm hoping you can share your expertise on vladimir putin with our audience and the extraordinary events of recent weeks and the rebellion by the russian wagner group led by evgeni prigozhin. how do you see this on president putin's grip on power and do you think that putin is more or less dangerous after this incident? >> well, it certainly affects his grip on power in several ways. first, it affects his standing in russia, in his own country with the military, with the security services, with the elite around him and the perception of his own people. second, it affects the most important thing he has going on, which is the war in ukraine and the special military

the armenian is part of the customs union with russia, meaning a car can go from armenia to russia completely, legally. back in georgia's capital tbilisi, we want to find out exactly how it works and try to send a luxury card to russia ourselves. this mercedes berman a ronnie and dealer catches are i. the car is in great condition with hardly any miles and a leather interior. we agree on $55000.00? no, yes, i was saying is there a way of getting the car to moscow? were told the car could be exported, the ron and the caspian sea to russia. another possible loophole. that's enough for us and we cancel the purchase. it's becoming clear that in this highly complex geo political region, many well intended western sanctions quickly failed when they clash with reality. our final test, we drive directly to the russian border. if trickery, dest eaten, smuggling, or even taking place here, then it's likely that turning a blind eye is happening by design. this, your number of trucks waiting here seems suspicious to us. this isn't what a dropping exports from russia is supposed to look like. we'd like to

it was russia attacking most of the time. the success we are able to push russia. now that you are going in it's more difficult to be on the defense. now this has changed. for russia and putin it has changed. they are demonstrating victory on ukraine. that's sort of changed it a bit. mr. putin and the impact and incentivized to wait and incentivizes to wait. it incessantizes to wait any domestic troubles will not. it won't cause the fall from power. it incentivizes to wait holding out to get the moment for russia. i was wondering for the west if that's f a challenge, we can't fight for ukraine. we can't be the ones managing equipment. ukraine has tore do it. we contribute to make this initial offering it's just resounding defeat. you change the political counter offenses. the two points changing the political contextat of ukraine. this is something we can influence. wehe can decide where ukraine place will be in europe. it's not about territory and defeat. de it's about bringing ukraine home to the west. i do think that's something where we will deliver in victory.

during the 2nd day of the russia after the summit in st. petersburg, besides even the contents grow enrolled in the world, as well as its colon values whose russia the run remote is government in india, face has a new confidence both in parliament over s and the crashes in the countries knows the piece. the as always is nice to have your company as we report live for most to ask if it is but on the russian after the summit. 2023 and the day is most important news. unless all is breaking news here on r. c. as russel defense ministry has a choose ukraine and conducting an attack on a sibling there is in southwestern, russia, that's off the 15 people were wounded in a massive explosion and the port city of target rogue on the sea of as of now. so jesus said it was a bit of it says, dean, i miss all, so i that and damage the rest of the, of the civilian air is the ports of the is located in order to be near the compet. within the next group, i make a large crowd of building smoke was captured, and videos posted on social media authorities. i've

a discussion with russia. we're getting good energy and highest rent because as you know, they can be industrialization without power. so we're having the conversational, wonderful course as way here. we're focusing on russia and we're getting the responses that we need was also joined by the head of ross awesome. first central and south africa, mr. ryan claudia. and he said that there are a number of nuclear projects currently under way that will the end of the day improve energy supplies for the entire african concept shots egypt suite. we've got 4800 megawatts under construction currency. and then sub saharan africa, we are progressing so you must realize that new tips projects on projects that happen over night is various key new to the infrastructure that needs to be put in place before you can actually move forward with it with the projects. but we're seeing a lot of countries that have been working on this new to infrastructure over the last decade on our stages where they can stop procuring the power a

working in russia with russia for them is that russia has never exploited the wealth of africa for itsefit for its own enrichment. as other countries did it, the same europeans, therefore , today the main leitmotif that we hear at the summit. e sounds like this our african friends tell us you helped us gain political independence as well. today help us gain economic independence and this

must be stopped, russia must be stopped, but these appeals in the council of state security that russia continued in the following that russia is now convening a council of state council and wants to listen to questions about terrorist activities at the council of state security already that is, ukraine was there even before the shelling or the launch of drones in moscow, but today they are talking about the fact that in the rostov region , ukrainians are shelling er cities er according to your when er russia will be excluded from the soviet union. that well, it is absolutely obvious in the current situation who is the provocateur and who is the initiator of the war that is currently taking place on the territory of the ukrainian state, or for many representatives of the security council it is not clear whether they are pretending or it is not clear that it is putin who is attacking the south of ukraine, what is this putin is destroying the historical heritage that is listed in unesco, this is putin destroying the grain that is needed for african countries sergius eh, unfortunately, eh,

our cooperation between us and russia, which is bilateral in the form of accompanying russia with thece front against the opposite front in syria and west asia, is a so-called cooperation that is being managed jointly anyway, and russia is first in the field of international law in continued in the military field, the villain attacked and in this company i want to explain that the bad things in the world are like an onion in layers. in russia, all those involved are different from each other in terms of action and even the declared policy. and in other countries , you see today in russia that foreign policy agents in russia mainly look to the west. and the foreign minister personally also likes this space wherever the majority of westerners visit the western minority , anyone who looks to the west in russia naturally has the opposite view to the islamic republic and the axis of resistance, dear viewers should keep this in mind. there is an atmosphere of layered governance and governments in all countries of the world china, india, other neighboring countries and countries of the world

what is the threat to russia? of course, russia is threatened.ow do you they aptly said that putin himself threatens russia with his dead-end politics, his worldview of the 16th century, he is somewhere, putin's worldview is the worldview of some boyar type, a little neat , close to ivan the terrible, so you can roughly outline what now in putin's head eh and that is why, in principle, it is very important for ukraine to press this whole situation despite the skepticism of certain politicians, and we saw during this and the summit and recent events that only great britain actually retains the desire to destroy the pu regime. well, poland also definitely and we have seen that washington is afraid of this, paris almost does not want this, and berlin is following the fairway of politics. actually , for washington, that is why the question is now really being transferred to well, let's say, the intention is on the talent on the understanding of the military the command of ukraine and we will all certainly pray for it and hope that this is what will a

i have read intensively and i extensively about russia, russia, russia, and ukraine, that essentially the same people. so what came up quoted are they have we in on a line continue. it's not for us to double into, so i fuse and is somewhat on much of the fits and he doesn't care whether the car is black or white. it's so long it to catch the mice. we have challenges. so under the bottom and we made resources to pay for what the distribution and insecurity. russia has the key hazard solution that help or really has an issue really apprenticeship and speaking on partnerships and friendship. so what is the importance of strategic cooperation between russia and africa? and what are some of those faxes that you see or other industries in 6 is that you see possible developments from russia produce has to include the 25 percent of the global grants. so russia would be an authentic partner in agriculture, create an investment roshana oil company, that's the problem. and the rates of some of the b gets less in the market. and i gave you how the 6 and like, just for the photographs in the world

vladimir putin, the president of russia, at the meeting of the national security council of russia, ordered that the dimensions of this incident be investigated in detail by the security organization . federal russian special that for that ensure the security of this bridge and also announced that this showed that the regime, which is a terrorist regime, the previous attack on the bridge was an attack, that in fact someone took responsibility for its products. the previous attacks, one of which was on the crimean bridge and similar attacks on different regions of russia, ukraine, did not accept responsibility, but today , despite disbelief, there was no need to beat ourselves up too much in order to announce that the afghans and some military officials announced on their own feet. that this attack on the ukrainian army and service forces well, it was in the news that the negotiations between russia and ukraine in the form of the united nations regarding the flow of ukrainian grain exports were going on, but additional news showed me that these negotiations might be stopped . what is the lat

what defeat looks like for russia. there will be no change in the attitude that russia has that you talked about earlier. the attitude, first of all, that it's entitled to dominion. it's entitled to empire, not only just over ukraine, but the other countries that president putin set out his position for in moscow and that military aggression is the best way to achieve it. that perception is not going to change until and unless it's demonstrated to moscow that it's a mistake. that's the first step in a very, very long process, not only leadership, but russian society as a whole reassessing about russia's place in the world and what it's entitled to do in order to achieve to the place it desires to be in. without that, we're going to see exact the same problem that you talked about where russia assumes that it is entitled to ukraine and ukraine, by the contrast, wants to join the west and the west thinks it should which is not going to be resolvable without a direct military class which should not have been used because

the russia, africa summit has wrapped up in saint petersburg. the much anticipated event attracted delegations from $49.00 african nations, the congress president, who's the current chair of the african union bank prussia for hosting the, for which he said was crucial for both moscow and the call to the concord or you from should appear not. i would like to offer my congratulations to you, mister president, because all of the decisions that you've taken you've made, you're not going to regret them because we have managed to secure a great success of it. it's not just for the president of the russian federation who has invited us, but it's also a success for african countries because of russia is a winner. everyone is the winner. russia stood with us during the most difficult times during the times of slavery, and during the times of apartheid, russia has always been helping us for many centuries. we've had good relations and i think these relations are going to develop. i think our success is assured, and we are satisfied with the outcomes of th

i have read intensively and i, it's sensitivity about russia, russia, russia, and ukraine. my extension even send people. so an email quoted or they have we in on a line continue. it's not us have double into slight fuse and is i'm what, how much of it it doesn't care whether the car is black or white so long if you catch the mice will have children use of under development. we may have resources to pay for what the distribution and insecurity. russia has. the key has a solution. right here. apple really has an issue, really friendship and speaking on partnerships and friendships of what is the importance of strategic cooperation between russia and africa. and what are some of those faxes that you see or other industries. and 6 is that you see possible developments from russia for this has to include the tents, 5 percent of the global grants. so russia would be an authentic proxima, a good time to create an investment, rochelle oil companies. that's the problem. and there is some of the b gets less in the market and i gave you have the 6, the largest deployment photographs

it's unclear with china and russia. so if they see a hypersonic system coming in which can evade you defenses and strategic defense has been kind of the black hole of defense in terms of money to try to get the desired outcome. is it a nuclear system coming in or a conventional one and that blurring conventional and nuclear which arises in a number of contexts like we the co-location of conventional and nuclear systems. so if you're talking a conventional system that's co-located with nuclear, you may be escalating it without. and barry posen from mit with wilson wrote a book and really didn't than the lead thinking on this inadvertent escalation from the co-mingling of conventional nuclear systems. so so the motto of the wilson center to peace might unofficial might an unofficial motto is to peace. long may it require study. we are. there are a lot of challenges there, analytical and otherwise. and the wilson center's role is to promote policy relevant scholarship, which is what i've tried to do in this publication and

they tried and even threatens them not to work with russia. they were also personal friends, but africa, it didn't budge. africa said that it would do what it wants you to do. so coming up in the program, the rent remote is government in india faces that no confidence vote in parliament, so red ethnic flushes in the countries northeast. the price of russian crew trades over b. e, use and pose $16.00 of borrow price gap. washington is expected to remind western treating firms and oil tank or owners the ruins of escape the line for most people, they say, sorry to tell you, my name's you know, no meal with all the latest global needs. the final day, one of the most anticipated forms of the year is in full swing russia, africa, stomach, 2023 big topics. important issues are currently being hunger died and the expensive expo for them arena in st. petersburg under team is there and making sure you don't miss a moment thought matters. let's give the floor then to the mind heading it all voice or shape the unit. thank you very much. my friend. we do c

and here russia also offers a lot to our russia, our african friends and colleagues , we will continueo cooperate with in the field of education and training, an increased number of african students studying in russia, including on a budgetary basis. through joint efforts , branches of leading russian universities will be created in african countries. secondary school , including teaching a number of subjects in russian, the relevant initiative were substantively considered during the meetings. and, of course, our plans include helping african partners to strengthen national healthcare systems, improve their reliability, technical equipment , efficiency and resilience in the fight against the epidemic. to do this, a large-scale program of assistance to african countries to combat infections until 2026 is being launched. the total cost is 1.2 billion rubles. our work during the summit continues, but even now i would like to once again thank all our african colleagues for accepting our invitation to go to petersburg and the invitation did it. he reiterated that russia is sincerely strivi

although if you look at russia as a territory of megacities, because in russia there are 20 megacitiesbe more precise, and the agglomerations of these cities can essentially be an analogue of the american ones of states or new states. it looks like the trans-urals may fall because there is a big, uh, insult on the brain, because 70% of all russian exports are generated in the urals, and uh, more than 80% of all finances are concentrated in moscow . thank you, mr. volodymyr, for the conversation. it was volodymyr tsibulko, political expert, friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our social networks and on the youtube platform, for those who are currently watching us on youtube, please vote in our poll, we are asking you about this, do you know how to do it in the event that russia commits a terrorist attack on the zaporizhzhia npp, if you know , click yes; if not, click no. at the end of the program, we will sum up the results of this vote, in addition, you can join our sponsor club of the youtube club of the espresso channel, now on the screen you will see a qr

so russia would be an authentic practitioner culture. and in business, we live in columbia to bid for assistance. no, we are here seeking for genuine hon of fraternity. i'm friendship unpacked to issue . do you see russia and the african continent working more closely and aligning the strategic cooperation and matches such as security and politics as a result of this particular summit? i believe so. i hope so that our relationship would have had them for june more. i would go in the sand bounds. so what i would kind of what i would would try to do and, and just share relationship. disney jones on 4 sides into optic contracts because it also get an opportunity for optic can move this to interact freely on if it is sort of the quality such that in the next couple of months and years. i really, we're going to a bunch of those have this front of this relationship. they are coming from the sound of rush at beta and russia is coming for under the sun. i appreciate that. be fair. better because of that for me to man, the russian government has

so russia was not what i felt. and kids weren't for many months that unless it seemed that it would be taken into account degree and you at some point would uh, would be aggregated. and unfortunately, unfortunately for everyone, it's has been aggregated. and at this point, it's a question of it and you're going to see it in a new going deal or supplying the forest space of optic and some states in the middle east with the, with green separately. it will not, it was not through the greens. you'll that was a, that's not no longer valid anymore. they will have what kind of support do you think african nations can provide to russia and is it in their interest? it's to be here to, but it's slightly, you know, of the above. so with studies tests i told you before, you know, multiple assist abilities to be so critical unless yeah, they are going to have a much will button a sheet. you don't much with this, but what is picked on the fact, you know, in pressure they're waiting to best off eco, and tablets, so full of decor,

and then we also found some of the goods in russia. for example, drones would come ro, i mean being supported by western kind of for something solid rush. so it's frontier that to western goods are going to restaurants, find disease, we drive to the capital to please see we have arranged to meet in the ministry of finance with otarre because the fall of the beginning of this options, we are doing our best to control all the goods and the old, a coupon. you or the persons who are in the sections least 5. these do some countries in the congress who tiny posts, all of the so assumptions. but statistics indicate a different picture. well, german companies have been reducing their deliveries to russia. they've been increasing their exports to rushes neighbors to georgia by 48 percent and the 1st quarter of 2023 compared with the previous year to armenia by 132 percent. and to cube this, done by 773 percent georgia in russia's other neighboring countries having suddenly become rich enough to afford the increased imports. the only plausible r

and we need to heal russia and the population of russia from that disease.r, you can do it from the luxury of exile. you left russia three days after the invasion of ukraine. that's why i have an opportunity to write this book. yes, but does it have any impact? you're writing columns in the new york times and in german newspapers. i'm going to publish... do you think it has an impact? i'm going to publish this book for the russian population. definitely. i'm not working... would they be able to read it? yeah, there is internet. there is internet, a lot of digital platforms, applications, definitely. russia is a very technologically advanced country and youtube is still not blocked. but even with different platforms being blocked, a lot of people are reading, a lot of people are trying to find the real information. and, you know, most people are terrified. they are not supporting the war. they are not supporting putin. they are just... they know... they are so scared. they are just lying under their beds. so where is this opposition going to come from? that's

we do not target the people of russia and do not seek to destabilize russia , i appeal to the citizensemies. and this is the secretary of state, damn it, let me i must tell the russian people directly, the united states is not russia's enemy, our strategic partner for more than 30 years, we have sought to maintain stable relations and cooperation with moscow because we believed that a peaceful, secure and prosperous russia is in the interests of america and the whole world. we believe in this and today we must say that right away. after these words, all sorts of different troubles begin on the territory of the former soviet union and in russia . yes, they say that they are not our enemies. but this is a lie. we found one very curious an interesting document is a report from jortan university, which is located in the united states , commissioned by the central intelligence agency, this report was written in 1960. section ukraine it is called so the factors of resistance and the zone of action of special operations in ukraine are the most interesting in this report. this is a description

, accordingly, the grain that russia used to go there will now find it in china, now russia is forced for other markets , thus confusing ukraine. position is taken by china and to what extent it is interested in the existence of the grain corridor and in general exports from ukraine in this matter . the regulatory and legal framework, it is forbidden after all, it is a communist country, therefore foreign policy, and on the other hand, their actions are more business or more only for domestic consumption, but no joke, if china is clear that it has its own political interests , it defends them and it is so much about money it's about the balance of power and the fact that there are certain pain points, let's say, or sensitive from the point of view of chinese interests, in which china calibrates the possibilities of russia's actions, this applies to nuclear weapons, it also applies to the balance of power in africa, there are a number of countries there in which the russian federation is a direct competitor of china, and even this came to certain moments of strength and the wagnerites

russia was a member of the group of eight, and there was also the nato russia commission.if someone had said 10 years ago that there would be such a beast in nato, people would not have believed it, but we worked with russia in brussels, and i think that in 2001 the usa was very focused on the war on terrorism, it seemed that we could attract resources from other parts of the world, including the former soviet union, intelligence resources, analysts , everything for the war on terrorism, the usa was attacked and at the time it was believed that the next attack on the usa was only a matter of time and we diverted attention from russia when putin started making outrageous comments i think we started practicing magical thinking saying that he doesn't really mean it and we just didn't pay enough attention and then the invasion of georgia happened and in general the defense did nothing after six months of sanctions it was not when obama came to the post of president, we had many issues on which we wanted to work with russia and we actively cooperated with russia on some of thes

russia is ready to solve problems with grain in africa today in the kula. the minister of agriculture of russia once again stressed that we have even set a record for the supply of wheat to africa. or almost three times more wheat in an african country than in the same period last year. and this is approximately 9 million tons. in fact, these are almost unprecedented figures , we have not reached such figures, but we see that the potential is far from being exhausted. we are working with african countries. and at the same time, i think that the talk of the leaders of the countries on exports will continue. the ukrainian issue will be discussed separately behind closed doors, however, as a result, we will learn about the decisions made and the opinions expressed. nikolai bulkin sergei vorobyov sergei preobrazhensky ntv petersburg again failed at when they tried to go on the counteroffensive, all attacks were repulsed thanks to the courage and perseverance of our fighters, as reported at a briefing in the military department , the enemy tried to break through

we know russia is our enemy, but what is russia? someone will say.that putin has lost his mind, but maybe it's the entire population of russia. this material is about the people who started the war with which we are now forced to fight for his hidden protected bloody desires and dreams, the sooner they understand that russia is ahead, the better we will show what is really happening in the heads of russians and whether the enemy is really ready to admit his guilt in what is happening in kiev, how would they perceive the so-called so-called war what are you most afraid of and the main thing representative material about the mood urf diagnosis russia today to find out the real mood in russia it is almost impossible not to support how they are all masks zakudrenny there are politicians, i myself work in the budget sector, they cut our salaries, they gave away this war, i don’t need to live. that in these rare surveys on the street, sometimes dissatisfaction with the so-called ied or, if you call a spade a spade, a war, but all this does not make it poss

considering how much russia has been successful in degrading -- integrating russia's military.here have been american senators here pressing for a reassessment of russia's military this far into the war because ukraine has been so successful at degrading the russian military that it perhaps has impacted our actual requirements on which we base what we think we need for that particular problem set. which is quite stunning when you consider how much ukraine has actually done. and again, that benefits obviously ukraine, it benefits nato, it benefits the united states of america to the extent that we can enable ukraine to successfully degrade the russian military. and the last point i will say too is that there's also a difference, i think, within the alliance that really -- a deeper point on the nature of the russia threat, but also on their willingness to actually see ukraine succeed. prevail, win, depends on which word you are comfortable using. but it is quite different than other members of the alliance, which seemed to be taking a much more cautious approach and are concerned

how to tear ukraine and moldavia away from russia besides , in marx's dreams, russia should again berders of asia. well, i can't help but quote one of my favorite writers. arthur conan share. he was in the twentieth year, when it was already clear that there was no question of any straits for russia in any constantinople. in the case of the telegraph , even if russia had won and remained an empire, would it not have appeared, it is for us in the absence of a german counterbalance as a source of a new terrible threat. well, this is the range here, you just don’t need to build any illusions. this is the confrontation from which we will never get away from time to time. ah, words will be voiced in our society, and sometimes among politicians, and such notes of leopold 's cat guys, let's live together, they are simply ridiculous friendship and cooperation, of course, beautiful and we must strive for this in every possible way, but there is no need to build illusions, and about this, the great english tells us the writer of all of us, the beloved father of sherlock holmes and the classic

from russia's side. don't think that anyone from the west could express such an opinion , even from my colleagues. i have never heard such a thing. russia wants to present it like this. russia wants to present to the whole world that the support of the west will run out, there will be a certain fatigue, this is based on the propaganda that spreads, in particular, in the countries of the west, semen but the most important thing is that such propaganda is aimed at internal consumption, this is one of their narratives from the kremlin - it is only propaganda, it is not reality mr. colonel, thank you for participating in the program and we look forward to the next meetings with you on the espresso tv channel. thank you very much . thank you. thank you. this was glen grand, a retired british army colonel. for those who are watching live now, please like this video so that it is trending on youtube. well, subscribe to our pages on social networks, in addition, join on our espresso tv website, we provide comple

president of russia has gone all the time.er what problems arise, the struggle for independence , russia has always been there, despite all the difficulties that africa has undergone the investments of the russian federation in african countries have allowed many states to take the path of development and mr. president in this regard. you can be sure that we are sincerely grateful to you for this. mr. president, this meeting really allows questions. you have arrived here, just for such a conversation with russia with other partners of the maydanse, you are in this report because, in the interests of africa or partners inside the dog, today the world is facing many economic climate challenges serious scale. we all recognize this, despite the potential. it is practically on the verge of collapse. african states suffer from this. we are becoming victims of such a policy of the american states. now subject to severe suffering as a result of other problems. unfortunately from migration to other countries. all. this is largely due t

so how did how did we get to russia? how did i get to russia? i was running i was a junior partner in a emerging market fund. and i got calls from a number of people that said you have to look at russia. it's interesting, a market as we've never seen the berlin wall had fallen a few years earlier. the economy had the command economy had spun out of control and had basically frozen in by by 1992, the place was just distraught. there were no go to moscow. there were no cars on the street. there's no no no goods in the shops. everybody walked around with their head held low and. and then in 94, i went back and i saw a whole different picture. the the the green roots of the green shoots of the free market system had started. people were excited. everybody had a deal. investors were showing up from all around the world to look at the assets, assets in russia were trading it one 2% of the value they'd be trading at if they were trading on a western exchange or the u.s. and it was just a very exciting time and it was a really unique opportunity to make

what will happen at the russia africa summit?hat will happen if putin decides to talk to the grain if he is held directly responsible? tension he can start to think, but it is obvious that at the moment he does not just want to think, he wants to destroy the infrastructure itself, that is , they say that it is conditional, he foresees a situation in which the countries of the global rooster will force him to return to the grain agreement. it was supplied in the first periods of its existence, it was no longer supplied in this way, in principle, he is barely now acting completely competently. he is waiting for the countries of the global south for their leaders to make claims. he thinks that he may have to. if these claims are already severe enough, or if erdogan begins to blackmail us with something, let's say, his money is mine in turkish banks. says well, well, well, i'm fine well, i will go to the meeting not in ukraine, not by violence, but in africa, because i want to save africa. i understand that it is not possible to save

i think in the case of russia, there's another element. russia is labeled understood in western europe. the final point is that west germany, in particular, has been integrated into western structures for 7075 years now. whether it reads a very great amount to pro, but got a and a you to gratian into western system. so thinking through education and to get his job in the out of town from west germany. but at least he, i think there is a much greater skepticism towards the receive western, no narrative. so it's costly, an east west to buy the europe because at the present dimension is complicated then from russia's positions, not necessarily the favorable way. because then you 30 years ago, um 35 years ago the soviet union dominated eastern europe. so i think the president is set a set of uncertain eastern europe is security, good sense. okay, well mister back, we have to take a very short break right now for the sake of our editorial security, but he will be back in just a few moments. stay tuned. the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy on foundatio

but as we see in russia, water will find a home. it will none the less bypass these obstacles and solutions will be found to all problems concerning logistics, cash, and financial settlements, and transporting goods between russia and africa. first of all, this is because there are colossal national interest involved in terms of food security. people need to eat, there isn't enough food. some 278000000 people are starving. of course african countries will look for a way out of this situation. and rush are produced as 20 percent of the world's grand production. so as they say in english, this is a no brainer for that with this as a partner with whom it is impossible not to work because therefore the national interest of russia and african countries coincide here. and we're on the same wavelength here, because there has been long term cooperation this trust between russia and african nations, was noted today at a number of panel sessions. our relationship has a very deep history from the times when russia aided in liberating african c
