russia straddle straddle europe and asia. part of you is where the west part of you is in the east. so russia is really in a very unique situation, and i think that kind of explains the kind of complex situation you are in. these are the, the west, or these are the europe. sometimes i, i make mistakes. i say, look, i told my german interviewer, for instance, i said, look, russia is not going away. russia is right at your a. but after i say that as russia is also part of europe. so this relationship love and hate, if you like it, between russia and europe. well, there's much determine how you get along with each other. but at the end of the day, you are not drifting away from, from each other. russia were all be there, geographically, europe will always be the germ. graphically, you have to find a way to coexist and people are feeling the pay we use when you start have to, when we are not able to do that. we open here pro western commentators that in a final analysis, china would always with material or even monetary considerations. first about everything else. and i think that's one of the reasons why many western animals were surprised by the ru

west, they will win. it wasn't just russia — west, they will win. it wasn't just russia that _ west, they will win. est, they will win. it wasn't just russia that may have - just russia that may have underestimated ukraine's ability to fight back. we have seen the response from the west change in recent days. was there a sense in the beginning that russia's military was too big to fail? i that russia's military was too big to fail?— big to fail? i think us intelligence - big to fail? i think us intelligence was - big to fail? i think us - intelligence was expecting, as the russians were, that russia would take the capital of ukraine in a matter of days or a week or two and of course they failed to achieve that at all. that is a major intelligence failure for western intelligence because those of us who know ukraine well, and i visited with ukraine's delegation injanuary and early february, we knew that ukraine would fight hard and well and it would take many months, and that russia is not going to win, they are not able to because they may have individual victories but to take control of the country

that russia's response will be maximum clear and lightning. well really. here, uh, i totally agree again that there is a risk of escalation. yes, the initiator of this risk is precisely the weakening westich today is waging a desperate struggle, and against russia, it is the west that is the cause of that disorder. we do not live now, nor in the world order after world war ii and after the cold war. we live in a world of turmoil causes that are emerging west, a emerging multi-polar world. we'll talk in a few moments. no, in russia there is such a family, wherever memory had its own hero. and the eyes of the young soldiers of the faded photograph look at this look, like the highest court for the guys that are now growing up and the boys cannot be returned in memory of those who died for those who returned from the war, a sign of gratitude to the generation of the victors of the immortal regiment. anxiety anxiety insomnia and so on you can help yourself in a circle afobazole helps to cope with anxiety and insomnia afobazon four weeks for the most pronounced action, just one registration and many banks at my service. percentage of time passes, and the joints remain in excellent shape revo

and russia also said that any weapons provided to ukraine by the west are legitimate targets and warnedt any future escalation. >> could lead to world war. 3. they key. back to you. you know, despite this escalation in hot coming from russia, is the u.s. still moving forward with restarting diplomatic operations in ukraine? >> well, that is still the plan. in fact, just today the state department said that that a few u.s. did temporarily travel back to livid. they call this a first step in the effort to reopen the u.s. embassy in kiev. but at the same time, the state department says the u.s. does have to keep a really close eye on the security situation in ukraine. >> all right. thank you, alexandra limon reporting live for out of washington. have a good evening. to get the latest updates on the war in ukraine and ways you can help here at home. go to kron 4 dot com. you can scan the qr code there and you'll be directed to our website. >> meanwhile, north korean dictator kim jong hoon is gonna puffing out his chest with a show of military force. this parade monday night in north korea m

that the events in ukraine are not ukrainian. russian confrontation. this is a confrontation between the west, led by the united states and russia, that is, absolutely yes which it is decided. will the west be the master of the world, without destroying russia, they will not achieve this, therefore, from here it grows from these roots. here is the show. well, this is what this feeling is called bogdan anatolyevich, i have a few words. here is a little bit of business, that we have not touched on the show business that we showed ukrainians are primarily focused on youth. excuse gazmanov, this is not youth at all. young people don't get it. in general, like pupo and these people are just youth mainstream musicians. we have such musicians in support of the special. they don't come forward, the second is that this whole idea was said here. she was born sometime in europe, even hitler copied english racial and other ideas. ukrainian nationalism once presented the book to me. all this has gone through such a course and food rings in ukraine in 1812. nothing new. this is the 19th century. this is a wild asian countess asian horde, and a dangerous, numerous, ve

payment scheme in rubles the negotiation process with kiev and the illegal sanctions of the west that russiaa will be able to overcome together these and other topics are being discussed today in new delhi, where sergey lavrov is staying with on an official visit, the russian minister of foreign affairs held meetings with his indian counterpart from the prime minister of fashion with details with details from new delhi dmitry melnikov in the evening from china during a conversation with the indian prime minister. sergey lavrov handed over the personal message of the president of russia vladimir putin to rendry fashion and before that, two-hour negotiations india respects mutual interests in russia with indian colleague minister of foreign affairs jaishankar suburmanyan, and indeed the whole circle of issues was discussed today. truth. contrary to expectations, sergey lavrov did not disclose the details of the negotiations regarding the introduction of a new system, payments in bilateral trade and the transition to settlements in national currencies . uh, the indian shifts said, and perhaps t

west understands. russia despite all attempts by the west to pacify it in quotation marks, that russia, despite this, hasessary to interact with it, e.g. here are two important facts. and then in germany will change. well, i want to say that the peak of information pressure on russia will fall at the beginning of may and this will be a very serious pressure. so, remember, remember this tweet there maxim anatolyevich when the active phase of hostilities in ukraine ends, new sanctions will not be introduced, but whether the imposed ones will be canceled, i’m not sure, for sure. i am anton valeryevich. you know, i will speak very carefully now, because i looked at these sanctions and, by their nature, i understand that they are much weaker than what has already been introduced. the fact is that they immediately carried out a very serious very serious. uh, there are measures against us and they hoped that they would quickly bring us, no matter how it turned out to be in a state. now they are trying to catch up. this, if the analogy is the first, the second has already been filed. and now, respectively, desse

don’t even introduce counter-sanctions of serious counters against the collective west, and russia also emphasizes thatt interested in any way in a military conflict with nato, and you are right that the relative weight of russia is of course less than the weight of the collective west well russia has very a powerful ally and that powerful ally is the non-west. which is striving for a strategic independence that does not succumb to these american secondary sanctions and history with india saudi arabia turkey many other countries. this is also confirmed from the russian point of view. the more the united states will put pressure on these countries, the weaker. they will show up on their own . they are actually chopping the bough on which they sit both in the geopolitical sense and in the economic sense. i mean the role of the dollar as a world reserve currency, but dmitry is extremely interesting to talk to you. many thanks. we will continue with you, and be sure to our, uh, conversation of the topic, inexhaustible, and the big game will return to this studio in a few moments. the most beautiful end of

it is the west that is sawing russia out of itself, and not so much russia is taking some kind of countermeasuresspring is compressed and beats back on the one who initiated this compression. please know i was very interested in the interview of the first nazi interested in me for several things, because unfortunately, it is uh very uh, consistent with my observations. we underestimated, unfortunately, and continue to underestimate the extent of the eu of the russophobia in ukraine that developed behind this person. i don't just mean this person. i have logical details of him when he was taken prisoner, despite the fact that he has been actively fighting against the russian republics of donbass since the fourteenth year. he got his pants dirty and the first for several hours of interrogation, he said that he was not a nazi at all, he happened to be here all these conversations, and about the orchestra. i had a little more. he correctly said among both the command and the senior staff of the armed forces. there are a huge number of people who share and support. i immediately remembered the ideas t

times about what, but in the west they do not quite clearly understand the russian red lines in ukraine that many in the west began to draw conclusions, at least to say that russia allegedly showed weakness er, lately, and that she's not as strong as she seemed a couple of months ago. what do you think after today vladimir putin’s statements will washington hear that, paraphrasing mark twain, the rumors about russian weakness are too much exaggerated and how , in your opinion, will washington in the biden administration react to this statement? dmitry the statement that putin made is very powerful and very dramatic it is not so specific that it is clear to everyone what he means and what kind of counter-attacks from the west would be, uh, enough to cause such a sharp, and i i would say a very sharp reaction from russia and to unfortunately, we already have a tradition that when people talk in moscow, they don't really listen, because well, how can i tell you? we in the west know that we are right. here you are wrong. we are right by definition, by definition we know that we are telling the truth. and you are not telling the truth. why you? in general, especially

and note, i believe that ukraine is complicit here in nato war crimes against the russian federation because the war was started. this is the whole war. the west against russiast itself and ukraine was fastened to this and, in fact, it was the united states that londoned a number of other states. they turned the asu into an army of mercenaries. that is it people who are hired, trained, paid for, trained to fight against russia, and in the performance of their these tasks, they today act exactly like mercenaries, because in fact there is no other normal one, including legal ones. eh, there is no explanation for this. now, as for the statement that it cannot be allowed, they say uh, russia's victories, i read it this way, i read it this way. russia's victory means a loss. the west means that we should not be allowed to lose in any way and suddenly the washington post. uh, your post is notorious, so this newspaper. well, very serious, by the way, american gazelles, a publication appeared yesterday, in my opinion, yes, that in the fortieth year of 2040. uh, the west could lose its ultimate hegemony over all sorts of other worlds out there. eh, but they understan

that in march electricity consumption in russia was 3.2% higher. the level of last year this suggests that gdp growth continues, meanwhile, the boomerang of sanctions hit the very westdly hard. according to eurostat, prices for gasoline and diesel fuel are unbearable for agricultural fertilizers. just a shock it is clear that this is only the beginning, because the component, fuel and fertilizers are included in the final price of any product. the recommendations of the authorities to save and save again is one of the ways to cover the pan with a lid. so you can cook the soup by reducing. at the same time, gas consumption by a third, however, the lid on the soup still does not solve all the problems of how things are. here is the so-called golden billion. from berlin mihail antonov on saturday afternoon the onion scholz was in the hay, north westphalia, land elections are coming soon. he campaigned for local social democrats. it was there that it turned out that the current chancellor managed to achieve one dubious result faster than his predecessor. schultz must go he heard. this is addressed to me six months after taking office, it took merkel more than seven year

pay attention to the bill you dress said that the war in ukraine is all a common war. west with russiahat is, the third world war and fight in london are going to complete victory. above moscow, the trails demanded to look deeper into military reserves and urgently find there are tanks for the zelensky aircraft. otherwise, europe is in for years of suffering, and putin will establish a new world order about nuclear war lisa did not warn, look, we cannot relax the fate of ukraine hangs in the balance, but let's be honest, if putin succeeds, untold misfortune will happen all over europe, so we have to be ready for the tough trials. we must double our aid to ukraine let's face it, the architecture that was supposed to guarantee peace and prosperity has failed ukraine the structure of economics and security that developed after the second world war from the cold war is no longer in shape, while they rather freed their hands they deterred russian aggression we need a new approach that combines military and economic security, one that recognizes that geopolitics is back britain has always re

but it's precisely that type of help from the west that russia is now blaming for an escalation in this conflict. >> this deal was even new russian foreign minister. sergei lavrov warned ukraine against provoking world war 3 and said not to underestimate the threat of a nuclear war. >> that kind of rhetoric is very dangerous and unhelpful. >> u.s. officials condemned the threats. nobody wants to see a nuclear war happen happen. it's a war that, you know, are all sides lose. the russians also claimed that by sending weapons nato is, quote, pouring oil on the fire. but un secretary general antonio guterres says it's quote, true and obvious that russia is the aggressor. >> we have not ukrainian troops in the 32 already of the russian said the nation, but we have russian troops in the as you could for the nation. monday, the biden administration announced hundreds of millions in additional aid to ukraine and lawmakers say they stand ready to rapidly approved even more and then game ought to be for ukraine to went out and we ought to do everything we can. >> yeah, them. russia also said that

that seems what my theory is that it does seem to put in its brandy as a fed to take russia ukraine. everybody of down with him is the west. is the united states ready for that? for now, the mood in washington is somber. the u. s. is said to be pushing for russia is complete isolation on top of punitive economic sanctions. but would that we computed or make him even more dangerous? and what of the man himself? is he a bluffer, gambler astute politician or ruthless bully? what was it that took him all the way to the most powerful office in russia, bath, and much more uncomfortable for need? of course, you're welcome to conflict zone. thank you very much. as the war goes into its 2nd phase in ukraine, mr. brewton continues to insist that everything's going to plan. nothing could actually be further from the truth. could it? well, we don't know what exactly the plan was, so i guess he can say anything. i mean, it does seem that the plan was to finish this war, or is they called the special military operation and then yes, can, will hands much faster, but now we are entering the 3rd month of it. and now actually, it seems to

superpower, that our sources, it's russia policy to the states that have traditional historical grievances with russia. you know, the polls the baltics and they get to dictate to the rest of the west of what the russia policies should be. so basically, i think the russia security guarantees back in december were litmus tests for what really was driving us foreign policy in that part of europe. and we now see that people who thought that was kind of a mixture of the 3, but more so the 1st narrative, this kind of geopolitical driving factor and this out sourcing was see the way the poles in the baltics are now in bold. and pretty much, you know, gives policymakers in moscow a sense that you, there is really little. you can agree with the united states as far as european security and your ukraine's future you know, and that's very sad because ultimately i think the, the piece would be saw, it would have to be solved between moscow and washington. let me, let me go back to peter. i mean, going back to what would mac said, the 1st narrative right there? well, they've won. russia has been cut off from europe. ok, so the europeans should be happy about that. is that good for europe? beca

and it's russia that supplies air bus with half of its total consumption. and boeing with a 3rd, even if the west doesn't, outright ban titanium imports from russia. just blocking certain russian banks from the swift global bank payment system, still disrupt supplies. that's something likely to hurt the west a lot more than russia, since the latter has already turned to different markets. most western buyers of russian titanium can see the writing on the wall. we are looking into it very closely to see we can insure it doesn't impact our supply chain and our ram pub. so western companies are trying to find workarounds to their dependence on russian metals. no doubt a monumental task that may leave them without enough metal for what some worn could even be the nails on their economies. coffins double quarter wrapping up this ours bulletin. well, a deeper dive into any of these stories in the bulletin can be fun and r t dot com plenty to keep you informed. unengaged there gives oh, ah, if you've been following the conflict in ukraine online and for media has been fed a steady diet of opinions like

that the west denies us today? the west realized that it is impossible to isolate russia. s moving to the denial of russia, the denial, as such, but he does not understand that the age is not coming of the west and this is not the west, and will dictate its own rules of the game. it is not the west that will exercise pressure through denial. west everything will be exactly the opposite. today we are talking about the fact that such players as china and india are rising , that they will be ready for the exchange in national currencies, that the very dollar that we have been talking about for so long has gone bankrupt in all parameters. i don’t understand at all how we can send a specific product and receive this very tick, and the one that can be taken away from us. i, of course, do not call for leading the gold of the border, but you can think about machines and equipment. is there a lot to think about? why do we need this piece of paper, which does not play any role, if you like, the entire system of international relations brought us back to earth from these illusions of

s. nato have over 600 military base is world wide. russia has just 18, but the west still claims that russia has aggressive intent by turning those russians to soviets. and to this danger is bogeyman that wants to take over the world. that was a content strategy to create this image in soviet. as out for world conquest, which was not the case, then bar now, ah, nato should have died, but they will give it meaning. it is about infect, created by, by nato. nato is business machine because you must remember. if nato were disbanded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large obs companies would lose millions and millions they'd only have one year instead of 2 yards each. their idea wouldn't that be a terrible. there's a simple method to put it right with the rest of the world. mm. ah, will say we were forced to seize the territory, bring order and maintained security. adult edler bring order security and democracy. the reasons used to justify modern was waged by nato and led by the u. s. b. not toys. i installment fun. feelin d, that's all the notes. the adam m d controller.

and it's russia that supplies air bus with half of its total consumption. and boeing with a 3rd, even if the west doesn't, outright ban titanium imports from russia. just blocking certain russian banks from the swift global bank payment system, still disrupt supplies that something likely to hurt the west a lot more than russia. since the latter has already turned to different markets, most western buyers of russian titanium can see the writing on the wall. we are looking into it very closely to see we can insure it doesn't impact our supply chain and our ram pub. so western companies are trying to find workarounds to their dependence on russian metals, no doubt a monumental task that may leave them without enough metal for what some worn could even be the nails on their economies, coffins, economists, richard wolf, full so questions. the haste that sanctioning russia, he believes western governments themselves will face major problems while preparing to transfer to other suppliers and not hurt will be passed on to the public. it'll take them some time to replace the orders if they continue not t

s. nato have over 600 military base is world wide. russia has just 18, but the west still claims that russia has aggressive intent by turning those russians. the soviets into this dangerous bogeyman that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy to create this image. it. and soviets, as out for world conquest, which was not the case, then bar now with nato should have died, but they will give it meaning. it is about infected created by, by nature nature, business machine does. you must remember if nato, what is bad shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions and millions. they'd only have one yacht instead of 2 yards each. there. oh dear, wouldn't that be terrible? ah, there's a simple method to put it right with the rest of the world with we'll say we were forced to seize the territory for in order to maintain security, a dell fiddler bring order security and democracy. the reasons used to justify molten was waged by nato and led by the u. s. he not toys? i installment phone feelin d, that's been notes. he hadn't own th

secondly, they proceed from the fact that right now, at the moment when the west can still stop russiand in kiev that they are sure that with some fifth, sixth, seventh package of western sanctions that they are pushing through, this is the only cry in order to stop as they consider the russian special operation. eh, not even that is confidence. this is some sort of dreamy performance. they have it. well this is partly true, it's not just fantasy. this is the very reality of the question said, and ukrainian colleagues. uh, what i want to say, one person does not always distinguish. you must understand one simple thing. uh, that those units, and i think now, i myself agree that ukrainian combat units are located there in the donbass. this is not a game, this is not the option when you know, they shot and fled there, it will be a fight and it will be the most cruel, in which we will lose a lot of people. then the question is whether or somehow this can be prevented. uh-huh or then. eh, it can't be prevented. this group will be destroyed, but the consequences for russia will be a way to p

by the west, against russia, to isolate russia's economy, and that the west has shown little willingness to sit down at the negotiating table . russia shut the tops on its gas supplies to poland on bulgaria, the energy giant gas problems cited the country's failure to pay for their imports in roubles on time down to any on ortho rise, use of transit gas destined for other buyers could result in further cuts but the u chief of slammed the decision was unjustified the announcement by guess from that its unilaterally stopping delivery of gas to customers in europe is yet another attempt by russia to use gas as an instrument of blackmail. this is unjustified and unacceptable. and it shows once again and reliability of russia as a guest supplier, you are, was quick, took your moscow blackmailing the to you countries that are almost completely dependent on russian guys. the president of the european commission now says that the work should be intensified to bring as much so direct with the union as possible to minimize the negative impact from this decision. and also she says, a very interesti

that was the case in georgia where we saw ellen turner armed conflict, lead c, at another stan between russia and the west. and that was the case in ukraine when president and the college refused to sign an e u association agreement. choosing closer trade ties with russia, the president was forced out in a violent could a talk. and to 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 in ukraine into 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 neo nazis took advantage of the situation and began to literally wipe out the russian speaking p

filling the gap left by western companies that fled russia after international sanctions , few expect johnson to be able to convince fashion. radically unite with the west noteworthy for russia that both of our countries are excessively dependent on foreign hydrocarbons. and we need to abandon them together, so now we are talking, among other things, about what can be done and the conclusion of partnerships in the field of hydrogen energy, electric transport, and offshore wind energy. anything that helps reduce the cost of electricity for the population with the help of green technologies, there are huge opportunities here. but as you rightly pointed out? we also have the opportunity to deepen our partnership in the field of defense and security. as for autocracy all over the world, we are democracies and want to stick with each other, everyone understands that the relationship between india and russia has historically been very different from the relationship that in the past few decades has bound russia into a united kingdom. we need to take this fact into account as well . i will talk about it on the render mod . the west has already understood. but

talking more seriously with his politicians, but it’s obvious that as the volume of trade and economic relations between russia and the westolume of russia’s relations with the outside west. here is today very interesting news appeared. uh, the russian consulate general in harbin said that by the end of this year 2020-2022, the volume of russian chinese trade could reach $200 billion . and how can we not reproduce the model that had place in russian western relations. thanks dmitry question. if i may. i briefly responded to what was said before and will definitely answer your questions. first, of course, i really liked about the american food chain, i completely agree that europe is becoming precisely part of the colonial world. only now it is exactly the opposite, and as a metropolitanate, as a colony, it is very important to understand here that the americans fall into the trap of their own illusions, that is, a trap. everything is very good, but they come across in e. the very trap in which it drives creatures. they cannot behave in order, otherwise they try through conflict. uh to divert attention from a large number o

we can imagine a long term break, a real deep break between the west and russia. that would simply encourage russia to behave ever more responsibly in europe and encouraged the european countries in the us as well. to really further deepen moscow isolation and set the stage for continuing and security tensions in crisis, the lex which we haven't seen since 956. 0 sure. how well i'm going to sleep tonight, but thank you for that analysis. joshua chef lawrence from boston university. thank you. on the diplomatic front. russia's foreign ministry. so came at germany today declaring 40 diplomatic staff persona non grata and ordering that expulsion. that's about a 3rd of japanese diplomatic corps in russia. moscow said that decision was in retaliation for jobs, expulsion of 40 russian diplomats. early this month, german foreign minister said the tit for tat measure was expected, but in no way justified of despite its actions against moscow and its support for keith, germany is under pressure over its apparent slowness in supplying weapons to ukraine . berlin stance has been

well, off shalt said that that could essentially pick the west against russia. and that could lead to world war 3. germany is not the only country that is sending heavy weaponry in to ukraine. we've also heard the saying from the u. k, the u. s. and poland between them, they say that they are sending in tanks ammunition for how it says at grenade launchers all because they say that this is what the ukranian army needs to match. the capabilities over the russian army and the u. k. armed forces minister has said it is completely legitimate with ukrainian army to use such heavy weaponry to attack targets in russia is completely legitimate for ukraine to be targeting in russia's depth in order to disrupt the logistics. that if they weren't disrupted with directly contribute to death and carnage on ukrainian soil, could they use british ordinance at all to do that is only concern. any of them weapons we've given him for defensive purposes, get used in that without causing problems. well, i think it is, i see the case that things that the international community are no

yes, sir, to that russia was withstanding what he called the blitzkrieg of the west sanctions and said that rising prices would put pressure on west and leaders. he claim that russia could not be isolated from the world all held back foolishness. he was named with your order. we know that today our offices are taking part in a special military operation in dumbass, in ukraine, which that old number is helping the dumbass people's republic sorta still know. they are acting bravely, you professionally, that you under effectively using the most modern weapons that have unique characteristics you or roman gone to ranko is from d w sir, russia, ukraine and the eastern europe department. and he gave us his thoughts on president putin's comments today about the war in ukraine. well, he made no reference to those atrocities, and i would just mentioned 2 points. one, president putin appeared to be satisfied with how the war is going. so he said everything is wine, everything is going according to the plan. he made no, no, no mention of the accommodation of all the possible chemical attack in th

even frenzy, that is, they began to make the parade ground for nothing from ukraine for the final suppression, and russia and the subordination of russia to that global system that the west russia was built by virtue of its history of its traditions, lavrov emphasized one of those countries that will never take a subordinate position anatoly lazarev evgeny stefanchuk, who is near danil channel one today, our colleagues working in europe and america noticed that the western press. the theme of the strike on the railway station in kramatorsk, which killed 50 people, has completely disappeared. here, for example, is the editorial of british newspapers, not a word, a tragedy, although on friday the western media were actively writing about it and they tried to blame everything on russia, perhaps such a sudden attack of silence is due to the fact that a photo was published with the serial number of the rocket, which serves as extra evidence for people. in kramatorsk, ukrainian forces fired missiles of the same series, probably, the nazis had previously repeatedly hit other cities of donbass. in addition, let me remind you that in russia, the complexes have been completely dec
