[00:00:00] under this reality, that's what the end of history
[00:00:03] in his understanding,
[00:00:07] and the Soviet Union disappeared, but
[00:00:10] already in the last years of the Soviet
[00:00:11] Union, the West
[00:00:14] felt, Americans felt the grounds
[00:00:18] for this kind of
[00:00:21] dominance, when in
[00:00:24] the last years of the eighties,
[00:00:27] there were completely
[00:00:30] unjustified and... concessions not serving the interests
[00:00:33] of the Soviet people made,
[00:00:37] including, well, perhaps I should mention
[00:00:39] the reunification
[00:00:42] of Germany, firstly, we
[00:00:45] approved the reunification of Germany, not
[00:00:48] as a voluntary, equal reunification
[00:00:52] of the Federal and Democratic
[00:00:55] Republics, FRG and GDR, but as
[00:00:58] an absorption of the German
[00:02:00] Democratic Republic. And none of the state
[00:02:04] officials of the German Democratic Republic were hired, they were all fired. This
[00:02:07] kind of reunification was approved by the Soviet Union
[00:02:11] to our great regret, and
[00:02:15] the only country
[00:02:18] that had its
[00:02:21] armed forces on the territory of the Federal
[00:02:24] Republic of Germany and German, on the territory
[00:02:27] of Germany, let's say, withdrew them.
[00:03:00] Returning to your
[00:03:01] question,
[00:03:04] there is the United Nations organization, of course, I
[00:03:07] will have to take some time, you asked such questions,
[00:03:11] not easy, one word won't
[00:03:14] answer them, there is the United Nations organization,
[00:03:17] I fully agree with those, and there are
[00:03:20] many of them, who consider it absolutely unacceptable
[00:03:24] to change the UN Charter,
[00:03:27] the Charter remains fully in force.
[00:04:00] any unrest, processes, the West
[00:04:04] will always find a way to interfere, but this is also not a reason
[00:04:07] to abandon this rule, and many other things,
[00:04:11] including the very sovereignty, territorial
[00:04:14] integrity, and the right of nations to
[00:04:16] self-determination, and of course, the requirement
[00:04:20] enshrined in the Charter to respect
[00:04:22] human rights
[00:04:26] everywhere and always, regardless of
[00:04:29] race, gender, language, and
[00:04:31] religion, this is what I was
[00:04:35] talking about, characterizing the unacceptable
[00:04:38] criminal actions of the Kyiv regime,
[00:04:42] therefore the Charter must remain
[00:04:45] the legal, political, international legal
[00:04:48] foundation of the system of relations between
[00:04:52] states. At one time, when
[00:04:55] the West was after the Second
[00:04:58] World War, well, the Soviet
[00:05:00] Union, it...
[00:05:03] was somewhat focused, well not
[00:05:05] somewhat, mainly concentrated on
[00:05:09] its allies, on the Warsaw Pact countries.
[00:05:42] and these institutions will serve this end of history, ensuring
[00:05:46] the West's dominance,
[00:05:49] mainly this, so to speak, living at the expense of others,
[00:05:53] like how from Africa, the richest
[00:05:56] continent, practically all natural resources
[00:06:00] are exported by the West, all added value
[00:06:03] is produced in the West, I
[00:06:06] already recalled the case when President of Uganda, Mr.
[00:06:10] Museveni,
[00:07:47] to curb the natural development
[00:07:51] of states that are becoming new
[00:07:54] centers of economic
[00:07:56] growth, financial power, and accordingly
[00:08:00] political influence, and there is no more globalization,
[00:08:04] he said, yes, this forum is an indispensable
[00:08:07] forum, we still all, as I
[00:08:11] understand, almost all... have
[00:08:22] a quota that is significantly lower
[00:08:26] than their real share in the world
[00:08:29] economy, the reform is artificially
[00:08:32] held back,
[00:08:35] they add some fraction of a percentage, but this
[00:08:39] process cannot be stopped, the reform will take place and... the countries
[00:08:43] that truly shape
[00:08:46] the world economy will get
[00:08:48] decent votes, a decent number of votes and
[00:08:52] quotas in these institutions, and in the World Trade Organization
[00:08:55] it is in deep crisis, because for more than a
[00:08:58] decade the body for dispute resolution
[00:09:02] has not been working, because I already mentioned
[00:09:05] China, China
[00:09:08] sent a number of complaints against the pre...
[00:10:12] the economy of the continent remains
[00:10:15] largely dependent on former metropolises, there are
[00:10:19] also communities of Latin American countries, the Caribbean
[00:10:22] Basin, therefore...
[00:11:25] mechanisms that we are building in order
[00:11:28] to be able to, in any situation,
[00:11:32] to be able to trade,
[00:11:34] regardless of political affiliations, whoever it
[00:11:38] may be. The second question was about Iran and Ukraine, there are no
[00:11:42] direct, I read about these
[00:11:45] speculations that the US
[00:11:47] will help on Ukraine if Russia helps on Iran.
[00:11:51] Here, well, as we say, bargaining is out of place here.
[00:11:55] such rumors floated around, our American interlocutors
[00:11:59] never offered
[00:12:02] such exchanges, and I think
[00:12:05] they did, they did not do it, because they perfectly
[00:12:09] understand that, well, these
[00:12:12] are not our methods, to engage in
[00:12:15] this kind of politics, politicking
[00:12:18] like this, I proceed from the fact that
[00:12:22] an agreement on Iran will be reached...
[00:13:46] Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, this is all
[00:13:49] a tendency for the countries of the region to decide
[00:13:53] for themselves.
[00:14:55] Americans have long been constantly
[00:14:59] stating that Ukraine will be a member
[00:15:02] of NATO, Mr. Stoltenberg, the Secretary General of the North Atlantic
[00:15:05] Alliance, never tires of saying this, but
[00:15:09] the United States clearly said that NATO -
[00:15:13] we need to forget about Ukraine's membership in NATO, if we want
[00:15:16] to resolve conflicts, we need to recognize the realities on
[00:15:20] the ground, they call it a territorial
[00:15:23] issue. Mr. Kushner several times and
[00:15:27] Mr. Witkov several times they said that the territorial
[00:15:30] issue - this is the root, let them
[00:15:33] call it a territorial issue, for us it is an issue.
[00:15:37] of people, of people's destinies,
[00:15:40] uh, those who, who
[00:15:44] have lived for centuries in Crimea, in Donbas, in
[00:15:48] Novorossiya, whose ancestors founded Odessa,
[00:15:52] Nikolaev, ports, on the Black and Azov
[00:15:55] Seas, and whom the Kyiv regime,
[00:15:58] which came to power through a coup, called
[00:16:00] terrorists, not people, and
[00:16:03] creatures, when the president...
[00:19:07] with his Russophobia, with his laws prohibiting the Russian
[00:19:11] language, and with all the other Nazi
[00:19:14] tricks. And uh, what
[00:19:18] will this mean, that under this regime
[00:19:22] many normal people will remain
[00:19:25] in that territory which this regime controls, they will be
[00:19:29] deprived, most of them speak Russian, and
[00:19:33] want their children to study in Russian and
[00:19:36] preserve it.
[00:20:38] the Islamabad Memorandum,
[00:20:41] it opened doors, but they were instantly
[00:20:43] slammed shut, including due to what
[00:20:47] this memorandum implied.
[00:20:50] The cessation of hostilities against Lebanon, and
[00:20:53] they did not cease, and for Iran this was fundamentally
[00:20:56] important, actually on
[00:20:59] Palestine, well Trump's
[00:21:03] plan was approved, but it
[00:21:06] is not moving forward, not moving forward, yes,
[00:21:08] and already over 60 percent, if
[00:21:12] not 70% of the Gaza Strip is controlled
[00:21:15] by Israeli armed forces, 72,
[00:21:18] 72%. uh, that's
[00:21:21] it, and as I understand it,
[00:21:24] no changes are currently planned in this
[00:21:27] ratio, the commission that was created 8 months
[00:21:31] ago, has not met yet,
[00:21:34] no, and there is an executive director, Nikolay
[00:21:37] Mladenov, I think he is also not active
[00:21:41] in any way, not active,
[00:21:44] and
[00:21:47] the other part of Palestine, the West Bank, there...
[00:21:50] settlements are expanding, and frankly speaking,
[00:21:54] if
[00:21:57] you look at the map, and
[00:21:58] the last
[00:22:02] plan, I don't remember how many settlements,
[00:22:06] but in East Jerusalem, if these
[00:22:09] settlements are built, they will all probably be built,
[00:22:13] then physically on the ground, a holistic
[00:22:16] Palestinian state is not possible.
[00:22:27] exactly this area, here and also for me, you know, the Israeli leadership publicly
[00:22:31] states that there will be no Palestinian state, I
[00:22:34] understand, elections are soon, in
[00:22:37] many countries elections
[00:22:40] have an influence, when they need to prepare everything more
[00:22:44] or less for the declaration,
[00:22:47] but also another interesting statement, I think Mr.
[00:22:51] Smotrich made yesterday, when he said
[00:22:54] that Palestinians better stop hoping for a
[00:22:57] return to Gaza,
[00:23:00] well, of course, some conversation is brewing, I very much hope that
[00:23:04] after the elections in Israel it will be possible
[00:23:08] to try to reach a common
[00:23:12] agreement in a calmer atmosphere,
[00:23:14] yes, the last thing, if we are talking about elections and
[00:23:18] Palestine.
[00:23:20] I would very much hope
[00:23:23] that Palestinians,
[00:23:27] various camps in Palestinian politics
[00:23:31] will still try once
[00:23:35] again to unite.
[00:23:41] Oh, very good, good
[00:23:42] news,
[00:23:45] thank you very much, League of Arab States, please,
[00:23:48] then Brazil.
[00:23:51] Thank you Mr.
[00:23:53] Minister,
[00:23:58] I have one
[00:23:59] question,
[00:24:03] I am the ambassador of the League of Arab States,
[00:24:07] I have one question and one request,
[00:24:10] the question, let's go back to the 18th
[00:24:14] summit, which was in India just
[00:24:18] now, discussed.
[00:25:20] About BRICS, Ukraine was
[00:25:22] not discussed,
[00:25:25] mentioned in his speech,
[00:25:28] our colleague, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil, he represented
[00:25:32] President Lula,
[00:25:34] he mentioned,
[00:25:38] given that Brazil was among those countries
[00:25:41] that expressed willingness to assist
[00:25:44] in the settlement, he called for it to happen as soon as possible,
[00:25:48] which everyone wants and... Naturally, we want
[00:25:51] these negotiations,
[00:25:54] President Putin has spoken on this topic
[00:25:57] many times, including when he said during
[00:26:00] the current ones.
