so i mean the ukrainians at the behest of the west, united states, new paying really put themselves into a spot because there's, there's no, there's the trust completely. i agree. and i think that's what made, that's the key obstacle to any compromise because it would have to be guaranteed somehow by hard power because trust doesn't exist anymore. and again, they are correct also less than from nice too, because even what a single poker openly, but not also many leading american officials. i'm also send them agreements, allow them to prepare for war for 7 years and, you know, and then yes, also that this simply doesn't become a peace agreement that becomes a temporary cease fire. so essentially rearm and then go back to the way things were still fighting. so i think this is why i think you russell liver hesitant to accept any, any deal. i mean this is just so this is just reality. 11 in which i want to fight later and i agree to the trust in most of both sides. and of course, i think a key problem would be for, for ukraine, of course, they could have some legitimate fear that the unfavor

time they didn't fill their side of the deal, so i mean the ukrainians at the behest of the west united states and you pay a really put themselves into a spot because there's, there's no lack of trust completely. oh, i agree. and i think that's what made this obstacle to any compromise because it would have to be guaranteed somehow or because it doesn't exist anymore. and again, they are correct also less than from ms to him because even cinco spoke openly about also if leading american officials also send an agreement, allows them to prepare for 7 years and, you know, and then yes, so, so this simply be, it doesn't become a peace agreement that becomes a temporary cease fire. so essentially we arm and then go back to the way things work to i mean to fighting. so i think this is why i think you rush would be very hesitant to accept any, any deal. i mean, this is just so this is just reality 11 in which i would have to fight later. now i agree it trust this problem in most them both sides. and of course, i think i key problem would be for ukraine. of course, you could have some legitimate fear

so i mean the, the ukrainians at the behest of the west united states. and you can really put themselves into a spot because there's, there's no luck, there's lack of trust completely. i agree, and i think that's what made, that's a key obstacle to any compromise. and because it would have to be guaranteed somehow, or because it doesn't exist anymore. and again, that you're correct. also lesson from ms to him. because even what i shan't go as openly about my also my leading american officials. i've also sent an agreement, allows them to prepare for, for 7 years, and, you know, and then yes, so, so this simply be, it doesn't become a peace agreement that becomes a temporary cease fire. so essentially we arm and then go, go back to the way things work to i mean to fighting. so i think this is why i think you rush will be very hesitant to accept any, any deal. i mean, this is just so this is just reality. 11 in which i would have to fight later. now, i agree like that the trust is problem in most of both sides. and of course, i think i q problem would be fo

and ukraine in the front with united states and they told behind it, so this is the complicating factor for the military operations in your cray. i think if anyone in the west, either the united states or natal members could have made it known that for ukraine to join nato is a dead end. it will not happen. and it shall not happen. then i think russia would have no reason to go into your crane to engage in this military operation to start with. now, on the other hand, russia has made it clear that the eastward expansion of nato should not continue to russia stall step. russia did not mention this one day. it has mentioned this for years, for several decades, as a matter of fact. and the continued expansion of nato is in control of it all promised this the united states made to russia after 991. when the former soviet union dissolved, as far as i'm concerned, it's not just a matter of broken promises. i think you even wrote about that in one of your articles that president putin had ample reason to complete that nader's expansion into your crenan, the deployment of a medium range missiles there would fundamentally change russia's security profile . and this

war because during the cold war, there was an effort by the united states and the soviet union provide proxy was bought in distance by the west nato united states and other they are fighting a proxy war right, to rush on the door and there are enormous risks in this because things can escalate it. and they can go out to happen to this policy of sanctions, which the west of the board and which others did. we did is being in the so called food chart, it is for short, it is commodity prices rising inflation, deception of supply chains and all the, and much more important the oil price hike. we did the engine for all the economies . so i think as a war going on, and if it goes on, the west is going to lose more and more support. because apart from some problems with itself, we'll face, but much to each of the modus losses that there was actually even stuff much more than the west will lead to claims the block does not one of the confrontation with most because it was, it will take on that statement, considering the fact that many ukrainian trips were trained by nato instructors and now fighting with weapons supplied by the us led

west. me. ah okay, let's go back to bruce. obviously the odd man out here, and that's why i want to make sure we hear your opinion here. do you want the united states and russia, the west in general, and russia to have good relations? is that a goal? do you think is worthy? i think you're going to be out standing and peter, i appreciate it. the fairness in, you know, always, always, always, yes. i do. i mean, i'm somebody who lives in the us, you know, the soviet in moscow during the soviet period. i've had a law firm in russia since 998. i've seen the dissolution of the soviet union and everything good. that's half because of that, i'd very much like to see a better relations between united states and russia. so how do we get there? how do we get there? well, you know, it's a very fraud issue. and the number one, i think the russian is to pull its troops out of the credit. i mean, it's an invading force. it's gone in the areas crane, which are early sharpen parts of ukraine at temple. here they've occupied all southern strip of ukraine along, you know, the black sea. i think they've got to pull their troops out of i don't think if they don't pull

united states. ready and the soviet union to find proxy was bought in distant geographies by the west nato united states and other they are fighting a proxy war right at the door. and there are enormous risks in this because things can escalate it. and they can go out to happened to this policy of sanctions, which the west of the board and which others are we did is being in the saw bought food shot. it is short that it is, commodity prices rising inflation and deception of supply chains and all the, and much more bought and the oil price hike with the engine for all the economies. so i think as a war going on and if it goes on, the west is going to lose more and more support because apart from some problems with itself we'll face, but they have much to each of the motors losses. that was actually even stuff much more than the west will. they tend to claim the block does not one of the confrontation with most because it was, it will take on that statement. considering the fact that many ukrainian trips were trained by nato instructors. and i'll fight with weapons supplied by the us led alliance. i mean,

disturbing u you are used to, besides, in recent months, that the west is the collective west the united statesnderstands every possible measure to infringe on freedom of action. e her russia. eh, as it were, respect for one’s own, e, interests, in all its own interest, does not suffer from this, but creating a moral environment of hostility around our motherland is, of course, one of the tasks. i think that the expansion of nato, and with its new members, is subordinated to this very task. but turkey. do you think it will yield to our turkish colleagues? not for us. we will carefully monitor this and do appropriate conclusions, but in the end the decision should be made no in turkey they mentioned about a just the same about kiev and chisinau about ukraine and moldova the new status of eu member candidates what do you think, uh, how much hmm does he weigh at all, yes or them, if you can use such an expression, they just threw a bone, yes, they threw a bone, giving them wishful thinking for real. in order to do at least something, i would single out the following. i think that the candidacy of

west with . okay, let's go back to bruce, obviously the odd man out here, and that's why i want to make sure we hear your opinion here. do you, what do you, what united states and russia, the west in general and russia to have good relations? is that a goal? do you think is worthy? i think it would be outstanding. and peter, i appreciate your fairness in, you know, always coming, always, always. yes, i do. i mean, i'm somebody who lives in this, you know, the soviet in moscow during the soviet period. i've had a law firm in russia since 998. i've seen the dissolution of the soviet union and everything good. that's happened because of that, i'd very much like to see better relations between united states and russia. so how do we get there? how do we get there? well, you know, it's a very fraud issue and the number one, i think the russian is to pull its troops out of the credit. i mean, it's an invading force. it's gone in the areas crane, which are early sharpen parts of ukraine at temple on here. they've occupied all southern strip of ukraine along, you know, the black sea. i think they've got to pull their troops out. i don't think if they don't pull thei

because during the cold war, there was an effort by the united states and the soviet union to find proxy was. but in distant geographies, but in the west nato united states and other they are fighting a proxy war right at the door. and there are enormous risks in this because students can escalated, they can go out. and in fact, we are talking about hybrid warfare. and what is happening is actually hybrid walk conducted by nato against russia. so we had already in that game, as for the rest of the world is concerned, actually there was a very nice movement, larger than any of the 2 blocks. we do not want to take sites in today's context. i think that this is not going to join sites against russia or for nato, for the simple reason that the was the this, the european conflict. deliberately august traded in because of a failure to accommodate us to genuine security concerns. it is a european conflict. we did it being imposed on the rest of the world to this policy off sanctions which the west of the board and which others did, which is helping in the so called food shortage is for short term is commodity prices rising inflation, deceptio

the pseudo control of putin and the russian elite that is now trying demonstrating the west, including the united states of america, leads to new steps and new threats from the kremlin, and in particular from lithuania, because we know that vilnius has imposed sanctions from the european union and banned the transportation of goods from russia by rail to kaliningrad and russia already in the person of the press secretary of the russian foreign ministry, maria zakharova, threatens lithuania because of this ban, let's listen to what zakharova says. of the entire joint statement of the russian federation and the european union on transit between the kaliningrad region and the rest of the russian federation from 2002, as openly the russian federation stated in this regard that if cargo transit between the knihograd region and the rest of the russian federation through lithuania is not fully restored in the near future in russia, insert with yourself the right to act to protect your national interests today mykola patorshev , secretary of the security council of the russian federation, arrived from working v

russia relations with the west state, with the 2nd world war affected millions of people during the conflict. the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3 nations. the united kingdom, the united states, and the u. s. s. on that piece, di him. when they did that, the men tried christa think up as normal thinkers, hitler was weak and knew healing weight and he was bluffing. he was the major political figure, certainly one of the most prominent political leaders of the 20th century. when they wish to report the germans of the germans, or when we support the russians and that way, let them destroy each other. there was that kind of sentiment in the west. at this time. the redrawing of european borders had begun. britain and the united states, and then just any plan to attack the ussr of britain to survive. russia had to be sacrificed, needs us to be like and dish davis, mr. boy from us was the luck with some ricardo in this capital and mitchell knowledge of knowing that the cold war had begun. l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders at conflict wi

number of times, the more the west helps ukraine, the smaller it gets, and it's the smaller its population becomes bruce. why mean one obvious answer is, is it the united states in the west hadn't helped ukraine russia would have taken over here, would have taken over the entire country. so as a result of us providing military support to ukraine, that they'd beat off the attempt to take over here. we don't know, we don't know that they're going to rush. we don't know. i don't know where to say this is one of these western medium means they got they so everybody knows what the general staff of russia it's wargames were. nobody knows that. ok. and so this is, this is a myth that's being built up, you know, a and another myth. and then this fighter you know, the, the ghost of, of care of another myth, the, even, even it made. it was a myth that just by peter peter was right. if you have you, have you b, have you been a key of i, have you seen the bombing there? if you, i, if the russia general staff want to destroy care, but would have been done in one day. but they don't want to do it. i mean, i mean, i don't you, why don't you find it comical, bruce, that much

extract people not always by exchange, but for example general gregorenko ended up in the west in the united stateshat is the situation now, what real effective mechanisms can be used to save people because the kremlin regularly demonstrates not just rudeness and brutality, but it does not appreciate its participation in various international organizations to withdraw from the european court of human rights. there are no problems and so on. and this worries me i think that it's not that they don't have problems, but on the contrary, they actually follow the principle if you don't want it. that's how we're even stronger than that, uh, even stronger, and we're going to ignore this international law, and so further and they actually say uh, it forces uh, as if uh, he would agree with that, even the minimum that is supposedly possible , ah, what you are saying. children for our children eh orphans literally and on eh exactly they are given russian citizenship, and here you can no longer protect them. yes, you are sorry. among the defeated, there are many children that we have in concrete facts. when th

both the south—west of the united states and khuzestan are dry and make heavy demands on their riverning here can tell me something about khuzestan. i'm heading to the hoover dam, 60 kilometres north of las vegas, which depends on its water supply. construction of this mighty piece of engineering began in 1931. explosion. the idea behind it was to regulate water supply and also to generate electricity. the same idea behind building this dam was also applied to building dams in khuzestan and other developing regions of the world. this is kaveh madani in tehran, promoting awareness about how water is used. there is finally a global consensus about the need to act strongly to mitigate climate change and to... at the time, he was deputy head of iran's environmental protection agency. following pressure from the intelligence services, he feared for his safety and fled iran. kaveh argues that politics has driven dam—building in iran, while human and environmental concerns, like submerging villages and animal habitats, get sidelined. and far from solving water supply problems, he sees dams

west relations? go ahead. michael martin. yeah. yep. he did. i think we do. i and i think it is something that united states brought on itself in the west for that matter. but at the urging and pushing of the united states took the by the minute administration and the near, near conservative sewer in it, like victoria newland. this is an effort and a purposeful effort by them to contain and ultimately have regime change in russia . and i think that this was the atlas for a mr. potent to say ok, enough's enough because the united states just pushed moscow to its own limits and, and, and in so doing push the, the european countries to, to follow suit reluctantly. they, they've dead and an already were stand splits there. but this is, this is something where moscow now is a look at to creation of a new multi polar world order. as i see it along with russia. i will, along with china rather, and iran, turkey and all the other members of the shanghai cooperation organization and the bricks countries. so i see that this is a, an irreversible trend and nice and i don't think it's a bad thing. i think it's going to

west relations? go ahead. michael in washington. yeah. yeah, period, i think we do. i and i think it is something that the united states brought on itself in the west for that matter. but at the urging and pushing of the united states, typically the by the minute administration and the nic neoconservative sewer in it, like victoria newland. this is an effort and a purposeful effort by them to contain and ultimately have regime change in russia . and i think that this was the catalyst for a mr. potent to say ok, enough's enough because the united states just pushed moscow to its own limits and, and, and in so doing push the, the european countries to, to follow suit reluctantly. they, they did an already were stand splits there, but this is, this is something where moscow now is looking to creation of a new multi polar world order, as i see it along with russia along with china rather. and iran, turkey, and all the other members of the shanghai cooperation organization and the bricks countries. so i see that this is a, a, a, an irreversible trend. and nice. and i don't think it's a bad thing. i think it's going to get t

ukrainian grain has become one of the discussed issues in recent weeks, while in the west , representatives of the united statesn countries continue to accuse russia of preventing export by sea. russia does not interfere. this is the ukrainian side categorically refuses, clearing the black sea, exporting grain through romania, you can eat the rebels port of constanta. at the moment, it is the main export port of ukrainian grain to the rest of the world. and what the west is completely concerned about is unprofitable for ukraine itself, this can provoke famine in the country, the harvesting that has begun shows a third less grain harvest than a year ago, the last few years we have been pursued all the way by droughts the authorities of the odessa region are not fighting the russian language in the schools of the region have banned the teaching and mighty. even as an elective from libraries. russian began to disappear literature. in ukraine, they no longer want their children to read woe from the wit of griboyedov and woe from the wit , they are no longer threatened with kidata. everything needs to be thrown away
