[00:00:00] России, Украины, Белоруссии, равно как и территорию Польши, в
[00:00:04] of качественства жизненного
[00:00:06] of пространства, на которой через некоторое время переедут трудолюбивые немецкие
[00:00:10] клиники.
[00:00:28] The Ukraine needs a new leader. and
[00:00:30] of while Russia has yet to comment,
[00:00:33] of
[00:00:33] of Vladimir Zelensky is caught by surprise saying that Kiev will
[00:00:36] agree if Moscow does the
[00:00:38] same. The Europeans have
[00:00:42] given the Russians more money, they have since the started this
[00:00:46] war then they have given the Ukrainians because they cannot win themselves
[00:00:50] off Russian energy. Washington
[00:00:53] blastts the EU's
[00:00:55] of hypocrisy over
[00:00:56] a Russian energy imports as German opposition officials.
[00:01:00] man their own trump style diesel deal with
[00:01:02] Moscow. It is about ending the sanctions against
[00:01:06] in Russia, about building the capacity for peace rather than military
[00:01:09] of readiness. The
[00:01:11] of majority of people in the state have voted for parties that do not want to continue pursuing this
[00:01:14] course. At the huti's strike Riyad's
[00:01:18] main international airport three days in a row, killing more
[00:01:22] than dozen people and wounding over
[00:01:25] 300.
[00:01:35] Well, this is RT International, reaching you live from our news center in
[00:01:39] Moscow, I am my coach. Now Donald
[00:01:43] Trump
[00:01:43] of of has claimed that Russia and Ukraine both have agreed to stop
[00:01:47] attacking each other's energy infrastructure immediately. This
[00:01:51] comes after Moscow and Washington agreed a half-year deal
[00:01:55] on diesel
[00:01:57] me fuel. Effective immediately. there is an energy
[00:02:01] of sacefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine, both parties have
[00:02:05] agreed, do not break it. Well, this is the second time
[00:02:09] in the span of months that Donald Trump has declared surprisingly
[00:02:13] to the entire world that Russian
[00:02:16] of Ukraine had agreed to an energy for last time
[00:02:20] uh Zelensky came out very
[00:02:21] in quickly and said there's no such deal in place. This
[00:02:25] time Zelensky has
[00:02:27] of also come out and said that this is the first time. he's heard of
[00:02:30] it that if Russia
[00:02:35] of of and of the United States agreed to an energy seesfire that please inform Ukraine
[00:02:39] and Ukraine would be willing to join in, which is in star
[00:02:43] contrast to what Zelensky said previously,
[00:02:47] the last time Trump had declared an energy see fire between
[00:02:51] Russia and Ukraine,
[00:02:52] of Zelensky came out with all manner of conditions uh
[00:02:56] now under tremendous pressure. with
[00:03:00] Trump himself coming out, you as well as
[00:03:04] American senators supporting Trump, congress people
[00:03:08] coming out and saying that,
[00:03:09] you know what, perhaps it's time for
[00:03:12] of Zelensky to go, should have never started, you wouldn't have lost
[00:03:16] 30% of your country
[00:03:18] a already, you've lost 30% of your country and you've had
[00:03:22] over million
[00:03:23] in people killed, but he could have settled it many times and he chose not
[00:03:26] to, that's a war that should have never
[00:03:29] of started and I... think it's time for Ukraine to get new
[00:03:31] president, Donald Trump uh
[00:03:35] referring there of course to
[00:03:37] a
[00:03:37] in the multitude of peace deals that Russia had put
[00:03:41] forward, that the United States had approved, the
[00:03:45] deal made between the United States
[00:03:47] of and Russia anchorage in Alaska during
[00:03:50] of the meeting between Putin and Trump, they agreed
[00:03:53] in a framework there, Ukraine rejected it time and time
[00:03:57] again for years, Ukraine has either rejected.
[00:04:09] saying these person yous incapable of making a deal, perhaps another should
[00:04:13] come in, they should hold elections. Zelensky previously
[00:04:17] had dismissed any notion of elections, his arguments
[00:04:21] had been that simply too many people
[00:04:24] have left Ukraine, then Zelensky complained that simply too many
[00:04:27] people now live as...
[00:04:36] elections he said are simply impossible, never mind that
[00:04:40] russia staged elections in september, now the
[00:04:44] tune has changed, now he's demanding
[00:04:47] a c 60 days to hold elections in
[00:04:51] Ukraine, please tell Putin give us
[00:04:55] two months, 60 days of total
[00:04:59] cifire. 60 days and we will organize
[00:05:02] of elections, of course we will be ready for any choice of
[00:05:06] our people exactly ukrainian
[00:05:09] of people how quickly to... well
[00:05:13] changed his mind on elections, now that donald trump against
[00:05:16] senior united states official, even
[00:05:20] mask piled on saying that perhaps it is time for Zelensky
[00:05:24] to move on, for someone new to come in,
[00:05:28] nevertheless this is all you know in star contrast to Zelensky before, now
[00:05:32] he's what can only be described this panic
[00:05:35] mode, you you've had reports, endless reports of
[00:05:39] him calling European officials seeking their
[00:05:43] support in both the sp the United
[00:05:46] States regarding elections, but also America's
[00:05:50] insistence a halt to strikes on Russian oil
[00:05:53] refineries, and that is what what is at the root of this?
[00:05:57] Previously, when Donald Trump very publicly came out and said Ukraine
[00:06:01] must stop these strikes, Russia, of course before this conflict
[00:06:05] supplying 20 more than 20% the
[00:06:08] world's uh global gas supplies.
[00:06:12] and mass of course, a shortage caused by Ukrainian
[00:06:15] strikes, it hurts everyone, it is felt by everyone,
[00:06:19] but no one quise like the United States, where
[00:06:23] elections depend on the price of uh
[00:06:27] gas, petrol of diesel at the
[00:06:30] pump, and the United States and Russia have made it
[00:06:33] deal whereby Putin has agreed to supply the United
[00:06:37] States with diesel fuel again, which is
[00:06:40] manufactured or made. russian refineries
[00:06:44] which are under attack by ukraine previously when Donald
[00:06:48] Trump called on Zelensky to hold those strikes
[00:06:51] Zelensky came out and said no, we're going to
[00:06:55] burn all them, which led to Donald Trump of
[00:06:58] course coming out and say that's it's time for Zelensky to
[00:07:02] go. Stark contrast to what Zelenski
[00:07:06] said previously, why are they blaming
[00:07:10] you for the continuation of this war?
[00:07:14] because these people can't find
[00:07:17] a key how to stop
[00:07:20] Putin, because it's
[00:07:24] more difficult to stop
[00:07:27] Putin than to pressure
[00:07:29] others, because it's more
[00:07:33] simple to speak about the prices and
[00:07:36] connected with Ukraine, but
[00:07:40] obvious Russia doesn't depend on the good
[00:07:44] will the Congress the United States or any European
[00:07:48] leaders, Russia manufactures, it has its own
[00:07:51] economy, it has its own sovereign decision making
[00:07:55] process, Ukraine on the other hand, entirely
[00:07:58] dependent on the United States, nevertheless we have
[00:08:02] seen, happening in real time a
[00:08:06] change in Zelensky's demena from eternal
[00:08:09] war to much more flexible. approach
[00:08:12] where again he is trying to
[00:08:16] appease Donald Trump,
[00:08:19] now while Donald Trump is trying to broker an energy peace deal
[00:08:23] between Moscow and Keev. The Kremlin says the Vladimir
[00:08:27] Zelensky appears to have no intention of resolving the
[00:08:31] conflict peacefully.
[00:08:35] Zelensky is a state of histeria if he were capable of deliberate
[00:08:38] rational action he would be showing inclination toward peace negotiation.
[00:08:42] right now, but he isn't. Instead, he demands more capabilities, more
[00:08:46] money, infrastructure access and the green light to strike deep into Russian
[00:08:50] territory from all his overseas. He demands funds for air
[00:08:54] defense, long-range weaponry and so on. In short, his
[00:08:57] esseria drives him to favor aggression against Russia, aggression he believes
[00:09:01] will be effective. This is a mistake, a tragic mistake for
[00:09:05] Ukraine. So earlier we spoke with a former US
[00:09:09] Marine core intelligence officer Scott Ritter. He says that the
[00:09:13] expiration date for Zelensky making demands has long
[00:09:16] passed as he's not in the position to dictate any
[00:09:20] rules. Vlodimir Zelinski, I mean it's it's
[00:09:24] difficult to call him president, even though he claims that title is, it's been pointed
[00:09:27] out uh, his mandate expired a while back and he
[00:09:31] um, hasn't held a new election, but uh,
[00:09:35] Zelinski is in the position to dictate terms to nobody, uh,
[00:09:39] he's losing the war on the battlefield, he's losing. the war
[00:09:42] economically, he's losing the war uh politically,
[00:09:46] both at home and abroad. um, the the bottom line is
[00:09:50] that president Trump is absolutely correct here, that uh, it's time for
[00:09:54] Zelensky to go, the question is uh, who
[00:09:57] will replace him and will this alter the uh,
[00:10:01] the the the reality that currently has uh settled in over
[00:10:05] Ukraine, Ukraine is defeated state, the uh experiment that
[00:10:09] Europe and the United States foisted on Ukraine, in beginning
[00:10:13] this conflict um by empowering western Ukrainian
[00:10:16] nationalists, this experiment has failed, and unless you
[00:10:20] replace Zelinsky with somebody who recognizes the failure of this
[00:10:24] experiment. and acts um accordingly, you're just going to get a
[00:10:28] continuation the same. now US treasury
[00:10:32] secretary scott b has accused European leaders of hypocrisy
[00:10:36] after the EU foreign policy chief spoke out against
[00:10:40] Washington's diesel deal with
[00:10:41] Moscow. the Europeans have
[00:10:45] given the Russians more money, they since the started this
[00:10:49] war then they have given the Ukrainians because they cannot win themselves
[00:10:53] off Russian. they had a failed
[00:10:56] energy policy and vladimir putin the
[00:11:00] they continue to fund him, so for them to
[00:11:04] say that we cannot have a respit in diesel
[00:11:08] pricing is completely hypocritical. now
[00:11:12] Vladimir Zelensky has been stepping up his efforts to secure
[00:11:16] additional support by reaching out to leaders across Europe. now
[00:11:19] this comes Amid Trump's latest statements about the Ukrainian
[00:11:23] politician and need for elections in Ukraine. now he
[00:11:27] has spoken with heads of state from France and UK and
[00:11:31] Poland attempt to get their backing. now some
[00:11:34] the same countries that Zelensky has appealed to
[00:11:38] clearly have not benefited from breaking up trade
[00:11:42] relations with Russia, at least according to the data. so
[00:11:46] in the UK, the fuel crisis brought on by the
[00:11:49] sanctions on Russian energy have cost its economy,
[00:11:53] an estimated 100% and 83 billion pounds
[00:11:57] over four years, including higher household electricity and
[00:12:01] heating bills. now in France on the other hand, the
[00:12:05] government's energy tariff shield has helped minimize the
[00:12:08] impact on consumers with the bank of france estimating its
[00:12:12] fiscal cost at around 2.2% of GDP over
[00:12:16] to 2022 and 2023. now in
[00:12:20] Germany on the other hand, economic losses linked to mitigating the
[00:12:23] energy crisis, estimated to have exceeded 50 billion
[00:12:27] euros. now Claudia Witig, a German opposition
[00:12:31] politician from the BSW party argues that
[00:12:34] restricting trade with Russia has only hurt Europe and its
[00:12:38] consumers, particularly in
[00:12:40] Germany.
[00:12:44] In that sense, I see no major contradiction acknowledging that peace
[00:12:48] negotiations with Russia are not within the powers of a state government. In this
[00:12:51] motion, we call on the federal government to use every means at
[00:12:55] disposal, including an initiative in the Bundesrad to ensure that
[00:12:58] diplomacy once again takes priority, that the focus returns to
[00:13:02] negotiations, and that trade relations with Russia are normalized,
[00:13:06] the German economy is suffering greatly from the sanctions, which
[00:13:09] have clearly not helped bring the war to an end, instead they have seriously
[00:13:13] damaged the economy. Now after the inaugural
[00:13:17] session the German saxont State Parliament,
[00:13:21] opposition parties, the AFD and BSW plan
[00:13:25] introduce the first joint draft resolution, the
[00:13:29] proposal calls on the parliament to declare that sanctions
[00:13:32] against Russia as well as military and financial support for
[00:13:36] Ukraine have failed. now we spoke with law makers from
[00:13:40] both parties to understand the motivations driving this
[00:13:44] initiative.im
[00:13:49] that Ukraine can defeat Russia and the other they claim that Russia is about to
[00:13:53] attack NATO. neither these. is internally consistent, and it
[00:13:57] is our task including from within parliament, to refocus attention on
[00:14:00] the fact that these issues are being discussed a completely misguided way, and
[00:14:04] we are also showing here in Saxonian help, that a political shift has taken
[00:14:08] place and that the majority of people in the state have voted for parties
[00:14:11] that do not want to continue pursuing this course. For the BSW, one
[00:14:15] the central issues throughout our election campaign was the genuine and consistent
[00:14:19] implementation of a peace policy, and we also know from services that the
[00:14:23] majority of AFD voters won precise.
[00:14:55] and that is why this motion is so important, it is about ending the sanctions
[00:14:59] against Russia, about building the capacity for peace rather than military
[00:15:02] readiness. Chancellor Murtz said that we must become ready for war, no, we
[00:15:06] must become committed to peace, we want peace in the world, that is why
[00:15:10] it is so important to initiate this debate and revive it here in
[00:15:13] Germany, so that the war can be brought to an end through
[00:15:16] diplomacy. want to know more
[00:15:20] about what lies behind the diesel deal between Moscow and Washington
[00:15:24] and whether it's can be a turning point in the conflict, head to our
[00:15:28] website rt.com for more in-depth
[00:15:30] analysis.
[00:15:34] now on the latest edition of going underground, host Afshin
[00:15:38] Rathansi speaks economist and public policy analyst
[00:15:42] Jeffrey Sax about the recklessness of European elites and the
[00:15:46] growing risk of nuclear conflict with Russia. You can watch
[00:15:50] the full interview here on our website RT.com, for
[00:15:54] now here is a quick preview of it. You also have been talking to
[00:15:57] EU officials as far as I understand. What is your... I
[00:16:00] mean, you're unable to persuade them,
[00:16:03] but what is your impression
[00:16:05] of why they don't even seem to be that? fearful the prospect of
[00:16:08] nuclear war? well, first of all, we have
[00:16:12] pundits and we have officials that say, oh, that's a
[00:16:15] bluff,
[00:16:17] you know, this threat of nuclear weapons. these
[00:16:20] people are so unbelievably
[00:16:23] reckless with your life and my life and my children's lives
[00:16:27] and my grandchildren's lives. i can't even tell you how disgusted i
[00:16:31] am by this uh blaz
[00:16:35] attitude. we are. "we are
[00:16:38] at dire risk of blowing ourselves up and
[00:16:42] to deny it and then just talk provocatively
[00:16:46] and Russia hate talk and oh
[00:16:50] yes maybe we can take Calliningrad and on and on
[00:16:54] this kind of recklessness is shocking. don't these people
[00:16:58] understand anything? apparently
[00:17:01] not. this is
[00:17:02] but by the way when I spoke with uh
[00:17:06] one" very nice European official, and I
[00:17:10] said, just say NATO is not going to enlarge, he
[00:17:14] said, um, oh, well,
[00:17:16] you know, the United States has has said
[00:17:19] that to to President Putin, I
[00:17:23] said, uh, yeah, it may be true, they said it
[00:17:26] privately, they didn't follow through, and your government has
[00:17:30] never said it, so why don't you say it publicly, and he looked
[00:17:34] at a little quizically like, That was new
[00:17:38] thought. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, let me think about
[00:17:41] that. Do they not understand
[00:17:45] what's going on? I don't know, I really don't know. It's a
[00:17:49] shocking to me that this is continued in this
[00:17:53] way for years, but I think that there is
[00:17:57] a tremendous amount of incompetence
[00:18:00] and howardis and unwillingness
[00:18:04] these politicians to admit. basic
[00:18:08] truths and that that keeps this going, it's just
[00:18:12] absolutely
[00:18:13] disastrous.
[00:18:19] now Keyev's diplomatic missteps aren't just limited to its
[00:18:23] dealings with the United States. now artist Isabella Bloomberg
[00:18:27] explains how over the past month Zelensky has
[00:18:30] managed to anger Hungary's new pro Nato government,
[00:18:34] Poland and now South Korea.
[00:18:38] Keev's diplomacy certainly has one talent, that is
[00:18:42] making foes out of friends from east to west. Vladimir Zelenski
[00:18:46] picked a fight with the one backer he cannot afford to lose.
[00:18:50] Washington after Trump got a diesel deal with Russia.
[00:18:54] Any easing of sanctions against Russia without clear and lasting deescalation
[00:18:57] agreement with Russia is a sign of obvious weakness. It plays into Russia's
[00:19:01] hands, emboldening it to kill more, fight longer, show even less
[00:19:05] respect for America and inflict even losses and dame upon the
[00:19:09] world that top of zelensky publicly demanding president
[00:19:14] in shut.
[00:19:16] not we diplomatic are dead end, shut down his entire economy,
[00:19:20] so Russia's mouth shut. don't feed them with your sales, just
[00:19:24] impose sanctions on their weapons. open starling to
[00:19:27] Ukraine. you did open it when you were responding to
[00:19:30] Iran. there's another way to conduct negotiations that will help push Putin
[00:19:34] toward negotiations. he doesn't want this. "I think that President Trump
[00:19:38] can do more and as our ally, he should do more. Those words came
[00:19:42] after Zelensky reportedly ignored at least six American
[00:19:46] requests to finally stop striking Russian oil refineries, and the
[00:19:49] Ukrainian leader isn't stopping at America, because he's also been
[00:19:53] dragging China in. We keep waiting until China has
[00:19:57] its own Starlink analogue and hands it to the Russians. Where is the truth in
[00:20:01] that? Where is the honesty? What Zelensky left
[00:20:05] out is the fact that Ukraine..." already has Starling and its army
[00:20:09] has run on it since 2022. This isn't of Zelensky's concern
[00:20:13] as he's been busy with South Korea beef. This has
[00:20:17] already led Saul to announce it would recall its ambassador after
[00:20:21] Zelensky publicly revealed the transfer of North Korean prisoners
[00:20:24] of war, breaching confidentiality and putting their families
[00:20:28] at risk. Regarding the repatriation of
[00:20:32] North Korean prisoners of war, the Ukrainian side demanded confidentiality and
[00:20:36] agreed to it. but unilaterally disclosed it, and when the president the
[00:20:40] Republic of Korea expressed regret with the utmost courtesy, they claimed
[00:20:44] there was no agreement, making the head of state the other country out to be
[00:20:47] liar. If you continue to refuse to acknowledge the facts and issue a
[00:20:51] public apology, we will take additional measures, as this is matter
[00:20:55] concerning the honor the Republic of Korea's people and nation. We cannot
[00:20:59] overlook it. Instead of apologizing, Ukraine poured
[00:21:03] fuel on the fire by escalating tensions between north and South
[00:21:07] Korea. So what did Ukraine offer soul in
[00:21:09] response? I've
[00:21:12] been exchanging messages continuously with the Ukrainian foreign
[00:21:15] minister. He's very troubled by the situation and I receive messages.
[00:21:20] containing apology, however, it falls short the level that we
[00:21:23] expected, and so we intend to take decisive action.
[00:21:27] clearly for Saul, Kiev's version of apology wasn't good
[00:21:31] enough. another case in point, Kieve is now playing with its ties to
[00:21:35] Hungary's new government. last month, Hungary's prime minister traded
[00:21:39] barbs with Ukraine's foreign minister. Peter Magya denied that
[00:21:42] Budapest had joined the proposed Carpatian aight initiative,
[00:21:46] regional block to exclude Russia, insisting that Hungary...
[00:21:50] had never consented to membership. To
[00:21:54] claim that sovereign country is member of an international cooperation,
[00:21:57] Carpathian integration without prior consultation or consent the country
[00:22:01] concerned is completely unacceptable. Just to give you an example:
[00:22:05] hi, we have formed football team in the next village. We don't know each other,
[00:22:09] but you are in it, and you have to bring the ball. And if you think it ends
[00:22:12] there, remember Poland. Tentences escalated sharply after
[00:22:16] Zelensky named a special forces unit after the Ukrainian and
[00:22:20] surgeant army, also known as the UPA, a militia responsible
[00:22:24] for the Verlinea massacre of tens of thousands of Polish
[00:22:27] civilians during the second world war, that together with the
[00:22:31] ceremonial reburial of Andre Milnik, leader the organization of
[00:22:34] Ukrainian nationalists that gave the start to the UPA.
[00:22:38] Warsaw was outraged. Unfortunately, President
[00:22:42] Zelensky has demonstrated that Ukraine in terms of its mentality
[00:22:45] regarding the glorification of bandits and murderers from the Ukrainian
[00:22:49] insurgent. is not ready to be part the European family,
[00:22:52] because in the European family, bandits and murderers who killed women and children,
[00:22:56] murdered poles cannot be
[00:22:58] glorified,
[00:23:02] decisions regarding our shared
[00:23:05] that these history, and the glorification the UPA by naming military units after
[00:23:09] them are something that will not be accepted in Poland, regardless of
[00:23:12] political
[00:23:13] affiliation
[00:23:17] to block Ukraine and
[00:23:20] it starling funding or the Polish president strips Zelensky of Poland's highest
[00:23:24] honor, the order the White Eagle. So, with Ukraine's grid
[00:23:28] in ruins, its front lights starved of manpower, and air defenses
[00:23:32] gone, Kiev has found the one thing it still can do, target
[00:23:36] those, it can't survive
[00:23:37] without. And moving on
[00:23:41] now, an Indian frigate has arrived in Vladivor stock to
[00:23:45] participate in joint exercises with the Russian navy. Now
[00:23:49] footage show. the naval vessel entering the port
[00:23:53] and Russia greeting the Indian captain as he
[00:23:56] disembarks, the Russian commander noted that the
[00:23:59] exercises were not for protocol but were a symbol the
[00:24:03] strong friendship and the long-term strategic partnership between the
[00:24:07] two great nations. other visiting nation thanked its host
[00:24:11] for the warm welcome and expressed confidence that the planned
[00:24:15] drills will be quote productive and useful. now the official
[00:24:18] opening ceremony the Indra 2026 exercises is
[00:24:22] scheduled for October 13th and will run through
[00:24:26] October
[00:24:27] 18th.
[00:24:31] And let's head to the Middle East now the Yemen Hothies have struck an international
[00:24:35] airport in Saudi Arabia in the capital several times over the past
[00:24:39] week. Now this video behind me shows the most
[00:24:43] devastating of those attacks. Authorities say total of
[00:24:46] 17 people were killed in more than 300.
[00:25:28] These attacks are Yemeny attacks. We do not do this out of revenge or to take
[00:25:32] venge, but rather to force the saudi leadership to accept a
[00:25:35] comprehensive.
[00:26:23] Now when asked about the conflict, Donald Trump said that it could be
[00:26:27] possible that the Americans could join in the fight to support their
[00:26:31] allies Saudi Arabia. The IT correspondent Muhammad Al
[00:26:34] Rashid has that story. There are
[00:26:38] heavy casualties from Huthi attacks on King Khalid International Airport in
[00:26:41] Riyad. The death toll is expected to continue to rise with many wounded
[00:26:45] among Saudi citizens and foreigners. The coalition views these attacks as the
[00:26:49] beginning of a full-scale war and heinous act that is contrary to generally accepted
[00:26:53] values and moral standards. The response will be fierce and in
[00:26:56] accordance with the norms of international humanitarian law, amid
[00:27:00] international condemnation Islamabed. reaffirms its position under the
[00:27:04] Mecca Defense Agreement as well as its commitments to ensuring the kingdom security
[00:27:08] and sovereignty. Statements by the US president regarding the possibility of
[00:27:11] strikes against the hooties open up the prospect of definitive resolution to
[00:27:15] the Yemen crisis. The kingdom declares that the hoothi strikes constitute
[00:27:19] an act of terrorism that runs counter to moral principles and
[00:27:23] humanitarian values against this backdrop. Saudi Arabia is
[00:27:26] garnering international Islamic and Arab support for its position and the
[00:27:30] measures it is taking safeguard it. sovereignty and
[00:27:33] security, the coalition is threatening decisive response by
[00:27:37] invoking the collective deterrance mechanism under the Mecca pact a mid the
[00:27:40] prospect of US intervention, the standoff with the hoothis is approaching a
[00:27:44] dangerous turning point. The key question is how far the conflict will
[00:27:48] expand and whether new actors from outside Yemen and Saudi Arabia will become
[00:27:52] involved. So we spoke with Saudi political
[00:27:56] researcher Khalid Batarfi, and he believes that Washington has
[00:28:00] already been drawn into the conflict.
[00:28:04] the US is imported already by providing
[00:28:07] intelligence and cooperate in many
[00:28:10] matters, security
[00:28:13] matters, also by profiding what
[00:28:17] s forces needed of equipment
[00:28:20] and innovation, what you are talking about is
[00:28:23] whether the united state will help
[00:28:27] in attacking this
[00:28:31] sources of fire. and whether they will
[00:28:35] support directly the y government, well that's
[00:28:38] a matter to be considered and according to Trump he didn't
[00:28:42] decided yet, but a country as fast as
[00:28:46] Saudi Arabia, so many cities, so
[00:28:49] many oil installation, so many ports, we have
[00:28:53] 28 airports in Saudi Arabia, so
[00:28:56] protecting this much land and this
[00:28:59] much facilities, will
[00:29:02] require lots of investment, lots of
[00:29:06] work, and I believe they are working on this, the other
[00:29:09] side is getting improved
[00:29:13] abilities like the new missiles they
[00:29:17] are using against Saudi Arabia, they have all
[00:29:20] the the fingerprints of
[00:29:24] Iran
[00:29:24] on on that, and they have also Iranian
[00:29:28] expert and Lebanese and others helping them.
[00:29:32] to do that, so let us wait and see, but I expect
[00:29:36] Saudi Arabia to improve its facility as well, to
[00:29:40] respond to all this new
[00:29:42] development. Well, RT.com is
[00:29:46] where you can get further details of all our stories. I'll see you again at top the
[00:29:49] hour.
