00:00:47Ukraine, the sooner the war will be over. Brussels adopts yet
00:00:51another package of anti-Russian sanctions with the EU hoping its
00:00:5422nd round of restrictions will do what the previous 21 have failed
00:00:58to, and that's bring. Moscow to its
00:01:01knees,
00:01:04and the European
00:01:05of Commission is orchestrating smeer campaign against Russia's nuclear energy
00:01:09agency
00:01:09in a bit to win Hungary off cooperation with Moscow.
00:01:13That's according to Russia's foreign intelligence agency which says the plot ignores
00:01:17Budapest's
00:01:18of interest. And India sees
00:01:21a third day of mass protests as demonstrators accused the ruling
00:01:25party of electoral fraud with the government rejecting the
00:01:29accusations. look into the root causes
00:01:32of of the unrest,
00:01:41in time for the news
00:01:42of on RT international, my name
00:01:43in is Igor Piskanov and it's great to have your
00:01:45company. Vladimir Zelensky will do
00:01:49anything to buy time to regroup Ukraine's forces, and that's the view of
00:01:53Russia's foreign minister, immediate more talk from Kiev of a
00:01:56ceasefire.
00:02:01In recent months, the call for a ceasefire has replaced the call for inflicting a
00:02:05strategic defeat on Russia, in the rhetoric of both Zelensky
00:02:09and his western
00:02:10of masters. The goal is singular and very simple, to buy
00:02:14a time. a He is
00:02:15of even said he is willing to hold a presidential election, provided he is
00:02:19given two months to regroup. During that period, Europe could flood
00:02:23him with new weaponry to continue his terrorist war against the Russian
00:02:26people, but his feined astonishment regarding president. Trump statement
00:02:30reflects only one thing, that he desperately wants to use any
00:02:34words, any initiatives and any ideas that enter the public
00:02:38sphere to promote his interest in a breathing space, by hook
00:02:42or by crook. I do not believe
00:02:44he has earned such
00:02:45a respit, nor do I think we will once again fall for assurances or
00:02:49promises. The President
00:02:51of has stated this very clearly. We continue to pursue the objectives
00:02:55of the special military operation. These objectives are well-known
00:02:58to everyone. have never altered them, unlike the zigzags
00:03:02and evasions of Zelensky and his European
00:03:07of masters, the political pressure on Vladimir Zelensky is mounting on
00:03:10several fronts. first, the American president
00:03:13of has stressed Ukraine is in need of new leadership. In
00:03:16response, Zelensky has demanded a 60-day total cease fire to
00:03:20prepare the country to go to the polls, but it's not just electoral
00:03:24issues that have brought Zelensky's old acting skills back on
00:03:28display. That's as he... appeared is surprised by
00:03:31Trump's recent
00:03:32of declaration of an
00:03:33of energy truce. The ceasefire
00:03:37announcement was new for me, but if Russians agree to an energy
00:03:40ceasefire,
00:03:42of Ukraine of will
00:03:43of agree.
00:03:44of Political risk consultant and a lawyer Adriel Kasanta says it's
00:03:47foolish for Zelensky to make an
00:03:49of enemy out of Trump. The recent reaction, the
00:03:53outburs of
00:03:55a anger from the Ukrainian leader after
00:03:59of the quiet. historical words coming from the
00:04:02uh mouth
00:04:03of the president
00:04:04of the United States Donald Trump
00:04:06of that uh the democratic
00:04:08a election should be um uh put in place
00:04:11in in Ukraine because the current leader is not serving his
00:04:15nation and the
00:04:17of its resonder rightfully
00:04:21um so basically um Mr. Zelinski is putting
00:04:25everything into one basket
00:04:27a so basically she's he's
00:04:29of playing of a... rulate quite simply put it uh
00:04:32because he's betting on uh uh democrats coming to
00:04:36power
00:04:37of after the mid-terms elections uh related to
00:04:40dispopularity uh
00:04:42of the Donald Trump in the United States due to his um
00:04:45unnecessary conflict with Iran so uh basically
00:04:49the the the thinking in Brussels and both
00:04:52in in
00:04:53in in Kief and Brussels is that once the democrats will take the
00:04:57majority in the United States - the the previous scenario,
00:05:01which is continuation of maximum pressure on
00:05:05Russia
00:05:06of and of supplying Ukraine
00:05:08of with of
00:05:10of money and weapons will continue. so - I think that this
00:05:14is the uh one way streak um for for Mr. Zelinski,
00:05:18because maybe even if the democrats will come to power,
00:05:21still the Donald Trump is a president and has a
00:05:24significant influence over the foreign policy of his
00:05:28own uh country, so I i think that making an enemies
00:05:31both with Russia and United States who is the main
00:05:35sponsor who has been the main sponsor of this unnecessary conflict uh
00:05:39is very dangerous uh a game plan from Mr.
00:05:43in his political circle, this
00:05:46comes as the European Union has approved another sanctions package
00:05:50on Russia, it's 22nd. Brussels once again
00:05:54claims it's important to keep increasing pressure on Moscow and provide more support
00:05:58to Ukraine. At the same time, it called out Donald Trump's new diesel deal
00:06:02with Russia. We acknowledge
00:06:06the agreement between the United States and Russia regarding the export of
00:06:09diesel. Russia will only negotiate seriously.
00:06:20what we
00:06:20need to do is refocus and redouble our efforts in keeping pressure on Russia, that
00:06:24has to be our priority and that is Europe's priority, this deal
00:06:28doesn't help neither the prices the oil products,
00:06:32nor the unity within the transatlantic community what concerns pressure on
00:06:35Russia, and it is not the European way, our way is to
00:06:39increase pressure buse we already seen how it works. We are not done
00:06:43here because for Europe
00:06:44this is the vital interest to help Ukraine to sustain
00:06:48uh this winter and continuing putting cuz I already said pressure
00:06:52pressure pressure on Russia. On Friday, Trump and Putin
00:06:56cut a deal with Washington lifting sanctions on Moscow's
00:06:59diesel exports. The news saw oil prices fall, although they
00:07:03remain above $100 a barrel. According to the agreement,
00:07:07Moscow will supply 300 thousand tons of diesel to American and
00:07:11global markets followed by. further half million tons in November,
00:07:15another 1 million will come after that with a further 3 million
00:07:18later, depending on the condition of Russia's refineries. The
00:07:22US treasury secretary Scott Bessent has accused European leaders
00:07:26of hypocrisy the heat Washington is now taking from
00:07:30Brussels. The
00:07:33Europeans have given the Russians more money,
00:07:37they since the start of this war then they have given the Ukrainians because they
00:07:40cannot win themselves. Russian energy, they had
00:07:44a failed energy policy, and Vladimir
00:07:47Putin,
00:07:49the they continue to fund him, so for them to
00:07:53say that we cannot have a respit in diesel
00:07:56pricing is completely
00:07:58hypocritical,
00:08:00and for more on this, I'm joined in the studio by RTS,
00:08:04so in the wake of this diesel deal between Moscow and
00:08:07Washington, Brussels is now adopting the
00:08:1122nd. package of sanctions, it seems very
00:08:15committed to to this approach that these restrictions will somehow improve
00:08:19Ukraine's situation on the ground. can you tell us more about
00:08:23it? well yeah, absolutely, and it is clearly message to Washington, their 22nd
00:08:26package of sanctions, you sanctioning all these Russian entities and uh
00:08:30Russian companies, firms, people, just individuals, and clearly this
00:08:34happening against the backdrop of this diesel deal, again it's a message to Washington,
00:08:38but realistically though, this has been the point that Europe has been making all
00:08:41along, like... need to apply pressure on Russia to bring the
00:08:45war, the end the war closer, well if you look at the state of things now, you
00:08:49know, 22 sanctions packages later, we are pretty much
00:08:53as far from a peace deal as we have ever
00:08:57been, so this is clearly not working, but you know this definition
00:09:00of insanity, one the definitions, insanity is you know
00:09:03doing the same thing over and over again and each time
00:09:07hoping for different result, well I'm sure they are already thinking what they could include
00:09:11into the 23rd. package, how can we make the 23rd sanctions
00:09:15package the biggest yet? now the 22nd, this one, it's
00:09:18the biggest one, wonder why the rest,
00:09:21the the all the previous ones you know were weren't of such a
00:09:24scale, the next one probably will be even bigger and probably won't bring us any
00:09:28closer to uh the end of this war, but you can clearly hear the
00:09:32rhetoric, for instance the what the Estonian prime minister has said, who
00:09:35openly openly defied Washington and
00:09:39called upon Ukraine to keep on striking the... Russian oil
00:09:43refineries, have
00:09:43listen. Such an
00:09:47agreement goes against the long-term efforts the western world to limit the
00:09:51flow of energy revenues to Putin. The US has already convinced its
00:09:55allies, including us, to abandon Russian fuel. The
00:09:58long-term goal of depriving Russia of funds is correct, and it must be
00:10:02continued. In Estonia, and at the European Council,
00:10:06it is worth discussing next week whether we can quickly contribute more to
00:10:09Ukraine so that they can strike Russian oil refiner.
00:10:13It is a bit ironic though that they cry foul in
00:10:17unison all together europe saying oh how can you give how can
00:10:21you fund fund putin's war effort with your money. with your
00:10:25diesel deal and it is ironic because this is something that Europe has been
00:10:29doing all these years, literally all these years, Europe has been
00:10:33buying gas, has been buying Russia's Russia's metals uh,
00:10:37pretty much just this year alone they purchased Europe purchased just about
00:10:4010 billion dollars worth of goods from Russia, six billions,
00:10:44just over six billions accounting for, well well with gas
00:10:48accounting for 6.1 billion of uh of this, now
00:10:52of course we don't know how how much Russia will get doing this diesel deal
00:10:56with the United States given how many steps in it there is, but
00:11:00essentially if you look at the at the oil prices and if you take the figure as
00:11:04to how much Russia has agreed so far to to supply the
00:11:08United States with, that's in the realms of 7
00:11:11billion dollars, yeah so 6 billion for gas in case of Europe, 7
00:11:15billion uh in case of diesel in the United States, Europe has
00:11:19been doing all the same things, they have been you know also funding Putin's war
00:11:23efforts and so on, just the... been doing it quietly, they've been doing it behind closed
00:11:27doors and with their militaristic rhetoric, this rhetoric
00:11:31was meant to draw the attention, the spotlight away from their actions and
00:11:35that's why Washington is now accusing them of hypocrisy, but this
00:11:38deal, it's good for Moscow, good for Washington and their
00:11:42relations, good for global energy prices, so it's good for Europe as well
00:11:46in the end, bad for Ukraine, in fact it seems like the only
00:11:49threat to to this deal is Kiev, because Zelinski said that he's going to
00:11:53continue attack. Russia oil refineries, but
00:11:57why is he so keen on uh sabotaging
00:12:01Washington's uh plans? It's pretty clear, you just have to look at what Kiev
00:12:05has had to say before that, they wanted this energy deal, but a
00:12:08very different, well shape and form, they wanted you know strikes
00:12:12against
00:12:13you know power stations to be included to be banned under this deal,
00:12:17strikes against port infrastructure against rail infrastructure, they
00:12:21wanted all of that to be banned under this
00:12:23you know umbrella energy deal. well Russia has from the very get go
00:12:27has been saying, well refineries fine, let's let's hold the strikes and
00:12:31well it's it's clear why, because well Ukraine doesn't really produce
00:12:34anything in this sense, so this deal is
00:12:38clear victory for Putin, is clear victory for Russia and the United
00:12:42States and well by proxy Europe, it's just they don't want to see it that way, and
00:12:45Zelensky, well he's been uh he's been making some very unhinged claim
00:12:49saying that well the United States should have come to Ukraine and made
00:12:53deal with Ukraine as if ' well, in his words, it
00:12:56does controls the out the Russian output. have
00:12:59a have a listen. why doesn't America
00:13:03conclude a diesel deal with Ukraine? let Ukraine offer a
00:13:07diesel deal. we influence whether these ships go or not, whether these
00:13:11refineries work or not. so yes, let's sign the corresponding diesel
00:13:15deal with the president the United States of America.
00:13:19again, this is also quite ironic to come from a man whose
00:13:22entire budget, entire country lives of... for whatever Europe
00:13:26has to give to them, otherwise they don't even have enough to pay
00:13:30salaries to the most crucial part their society right now and that's the you know
00:13:34servicemen, so uh it's ironic to hear him
00:13:37say that he controls something abroad elsewhere like in Russia
00:13:41when he doesn't really have a grip on things inside Ukraine
00:13:45without you know donations and uh well credits from
00:13:49the west, so now with the US openly uh working
00:13:53together with Russia on energy deal, it seems
00:13:57that uh the weight of supporting uh Kiev's war machine
00:14:01is now uh being pressed on Brussel's shoulders,
00:14:05so what does Russia have to say about this? indeed, it has been the policy
00:14:09the Trump administration for a while now, you know, let Europe pay
00:14:13for the war in Europe and the United States, they have pulled uh pretty much
00:14:16all financial support uh and Washington has been making money of this
00:14:20of this European ambition, well now you with
00:14:24Europe. down on this and potentially openly defying you
00:14:28know militaristically
00:14:29the interests, economic interests the United States, we are a bit of
00:14:33crossroads, but according to Russia, well Europe has already shown that it is
00:14:36not, they
00:14:37can say they can talk however much they want about wanting to bring this war
00:14:41to an end, but they don't, because every because we've seen everything that they have
00:14:45implied so far here it has failed, they decided to
00:14:49just self-exclude themselves out of dialogue with Russia,
00:14:53they have been slapping slamming Russia with sanctions, none of this has
00:14:57worked, so according to the spokesman for the Russian president and for the Kremlin Dimitri
00:15:01Peskov, Washington right now looks like a more of
00:15:05an impartial state, not impartial completely, because well intelligence sharing
00:15:08and so on is still a thing, but still Europe is definitely a
00:15:12party acts like a party in this war while Washington is trying to
00:15:16uh have look and try to trying to find
00:15:19solutions, the
00:15:22Europeans clearly do not belong to the party of. peace, the party that seeks
00:15:26ways toward a peaceful settlement. The Europeans are more like the party of war,
00:15:30which continues to do everything to prevent this war from stopping. We are far more
00:15:34impressed by the efforts the American negotiators, we are. grateful to them
00:15:38for continuing these efforts. We are not looking for a split here, we are looking for
00:15:42truly effective measures and responsible decisions that will make it
00:15:45possible to reach
00:15:46a peaceful settlement. The Europeans clearly do not belong to the party of
00:15:50peace, the party that seeks ways toward peaceful settlement. The
00:15:54Europeans are more like the party of war which continues to do everything to prevent
00:15:58this war from stopping. We are far more impressed by the efforts the American
00:16:01negotiators. We are grateful to them for continuing these efforts.
00:16:05We are not looking for a split here. "We are looking for truly effective measures
00:16:09and responsible decisions that will make it possible to reach
00:16:12a peaceful settlement. So right now
00:16:16we are a bit of crossroads here with one way being, well it
00:16:20could all with, I mean all of this huffing and puffing, if that will
00:16:24just remain that
00:16:25you know all talk and uh Europe and Zelensky will talk
00:16:29uh very tough but won't act on these words, or if they
00:16:33will decide to directly try and disrupt Russia's well shipments.
00:16:37to the United States, be it vessels or be it attacks against you know infrastructure inside
00:16:41Russia, and that would be interesting to see if they choose that that
00:16:45sort of course of events, if they choose the latter, then well Trump has quite a few quite a
00:16:49few means to apply pressure and to punish uh anyone well in
00:16:53Ukraine for in Ukraine and Europe for disobedience, starting with the
00:16:56most obvious options like cutting intelligence sharing and switching off the
00:17:00starlink you know dishes. All right,
00:17:03correspondent, thank you for breaking it all down for us.
00:17:23Zelensky is the main obstacle to peaceful settlement. I think his
00:17:2760-day demand is linked to the fact that he is working with European and
00:17:31American globalists and democrats against Trump. He wants to see
00:17:34Trump removed and deal with the democrats. very generous towards him and
00:17:38Ukraine, allocating $60 billion dollars. That is the arrangement
00:17:42he wants to return to. He does not want any elections. The Europeans are
00:17:46completely satisfied with Zelensky.
00:17:48He has become the kind of leader, the kind of Nazi who no longer needs to be
00:17:52pushed. Sometimes he needs to be held back. He is the number one
00:17:55rusophobe. What did the Europeans want from the conflict with Russia waged
00:17:59through Ukraine or by Ukraine's hands? Russia's defeat. Russia has
00:18:03already held two elections under these same conditions. I see no difference for.
00:18:07example, between the voting organized by Russia for its soldiers in the combat zone
00:18:11and voting for Ukrainian armed forces soldiers. That is why Zelensky does not
00:18:15want these elections, because he will lose. The Europeans are satisfied with him
00:18:19because the second stage is now beginning. We cannot defeat Russia, and
00:18:22nuclear power cannot be defeated, so you have to inflict irreperable
00:18:26damage, drowning the relations between Ukrainians and Russians in blood, and then continue
00:18:30along the same path. This is no different from Napoleon's campaign against Russia
00:18:34or Hitler's invasion of Russia, but now they have found accomplice. bander rights and
00:18:38Hitler in the person of Zelensky, that is why they support him. He also cites the
00:18:42constitution, claiming that it prohibits elections. No, that is a lie.
00:18:46I am telling you this as a lawyer and as member of parliament for three consecutive terms. That
00:18:50is a lie. Meanwhile, Russia's foreign
00:18:53intelligence service has accused the European Commission of orchestrating an
00:18:57information campaign against the Russian nuclear energy agency and
00:19:01Hungary's Px to nuclear power plant project. Moscow
00:19:04says the campaign ignores Hungary's national interest.
00:19:09"the main customer the dirty information campaign launched in Europe against the Ross
00:19:12Atom Corporation and the construction with its participation the Pax 2
00:19:16nuclear power plant in Hungary is the leadership the European
00:19:20Commission. The Pax 2 project is designed to expand
00:19:24Hungary's existing nuclear power plant with Russia's Rosatam serving
00:19:27as the main contractor. The project would see the construction
00:19:31of two nuclear new nuclear reactors which are expected to
00:19:35increase Hungary's electricity generation." capacity and helped meet its
00:19:39long-term energy needs, however, the scheme has faced
00:19:42scrutiny and political disputes within the EU, including
00:19:46concerns over its reliance on Russian technology and the wider
00:19:49implications of energy cooperation with
00:19:52Moscow.
00:19:56let's now cross live to the director of center for European studies
00:19:59at Renmin University of China one EUAE. welcome
00:20:03to the program, sir. now first off, what do you make the
00:20:07revelation? that Brussels seeks to undermine Hungaries ties with
00:20:10Russia
00:20:11in the energy sector, what's the rational behind such a
00:20:13campaign? first of
00:20:17all, I think the Europeans cannot compete
00:20:21Russians companies in hungarous
00:20:24nuclear plant projects, they also they use
00:20:28the name of national security or
00:20:32even demo, the Russians reputation or companies
00:20:35reputation there. "actually also not for the
00:20:39national interest the European Union, but even for the personal interests
00:20:43the like the president the European commission the Vonderland,
00:20:47which actually be accused by..." "the
00:20:50Americans companies influence during the COVID
00:20:53period that in
00:20:57the name of Europeans actually so-called the
00:21:00safety but actually intentionally work for the American
00:21:03companies because she want to retired and then
00:21:07get the elections to be the chief of NATO during that
00:21:11time, but even today actually in the name the Europeans
00:21:15interests against Russia, but for her personal
00:21:18political..." which they faculty
00:21:22worked with the American companies and
00:21:26Washington has been telling Beijing for years to abandon Russian
00:21:30energy, including trading tariffs threats, even
00:21:34now as the US itself is easing sanctions on Russian diesel,
00:21:37so how can the US threaten China with 100%
00:21:41tariffs for buying Russian oil while simultaneously negotiating deal
00:21:45to import Russian diesel for its own market?
00:21:49everything about the election election, the president trump want
00:21:53to download the inflation, particularly with
00:21:56the des more from farmers and the military industrial complex,
00:22:00so of course this is make deal with president
00:22:03Putin, but at the same time also the United States, particularly the
00:22:07president Trump respect president
00:22:10Putin because his powerful, Russia is most
00:22:14important
00:22:15in the United States like China, they are looks down upon to the European Union
00:22:18to always. is not just double standard actually at the cost
00:22:22the Europeans, but the thing about the
00:22:26presidentski is the opskar, the European support of him also
00:22:30make the the interest the united states be damaged, so
00:22:34that's reason the make deal with Russia about the
00:22:37diesel, but what do you make of such pattern though of
00:22:41Washington doing exactly what it's trying to ban others
00:22:45from doing? well even president Trump with the
00:22:48first turn also sanction to the chinese company
00:22:52huawei during that time the launched the trade war, actually the
00:22:55American companies bypass the
00:22:59sanctions, so in the name the sanctions actually is within the Chinese
00:23:02market, so always the American do like that way, because the
00:23:06thing about the American exception reason, so they are not follow the
00:23:10sanctions, so others should follow the sanctions, that's very
00:23:14traditional american thinking, all
00:23:17right, one yeway,
00:23:21uh uh from the director of center for European studies at renmin University of
00:23:24China.
00:23:25I appreciate you taking the time and sharing your thoughts with
00:23:27us.
00:23:32India has beefed up security in its capital as a mass protest
00:23:36raged for third consecutive day. Initially, the demonstrators were
00:23:40led by a youth activist movement called the cockroaches. However,
00:23:44now different opposition forces have joined the protest, accusing the ruling
00:23:48government of attempting. Fraud, something firmly denied by the
00:23:52authorities. Arty India's Vinak Dixit explains what has
00:23:56caused the prolonged unrest. Now if we talk
00:23:59about the protests that are happening here in India then at the heart the
00:24:03matter lies an allegation by India's opposition parties
00:24:07that the election commission's process of revising pole roles
00:24:11is soly to benefit the Narendra Modi led Bharatiya Janata
00:24:15Party, the BJP for winning elections after elections
00:24:19in state. after state now uh the Indian election
00:24:23commission's special intensive revision process was started
00:24:27in the world's largest democracy last year and it started with the
00:24:31northern state of bihar. now the intention the process was
00:24:35to remove the names of voters that have moved away, voters that have
00:24:38registered in more than one constituencies, voters that have passed
00:24:42away or voters that are due to any reason whatsoever,
00:24:46unregistered voters, so a thorough cleaning the election. pole
00:24:50roles or the list of voters, about 130
00:24:54million names have been flagged or removed so far, if you
00:24:57think that is a large number, then think about the total population of
00:25:01India which happens to be 1.4 billion people. now
00:25:05the final decision on removing any these
00:25:09names are yet to be taken, however India's
00:25:12opposition parties alleged that in the process
00:25:16the special intensive revision many legitimate voters name
00:25:20were also struck off from the list in order to benefit the
00:25:23भारतीय janata party or the BJP, they claim that
00:25:27these removals now mean that India's electoral process is
00:25:31no longer level playing field. the opposition parties also say
00:25:35that this process has already skewed elections that took place in the
00:25:39month of April where the BJP one three out of
00:25:43five states. Congress leader and leader of opposition Rahul Gandi has
00:25:47gone so far as to call this vote. left and says and
00:25:51argues that any laws passed by the elected
00:25:55government through the stolen votes remain to be illegitimate because
00:25:59the process in itself was illegitimate the
00:26:03party, the BJP as well as the election commission have denied
00:26:07any wrong
00:26:08भारतीय the जनta doings as far as the process SIRR are concerned, the BJP
00:26:12maintains that the uh that the process was aimed to remove
00:26:16illegitimate voters from electoral poll rolls. home minister Amit Shah
00:26:19also went on to say that it was to prevent infiltrators which
00:26:23happens to be euferemism that is used for illegal
00:26:27immigrants mainly from neighboring Bangladesh from
00:26:31voting in India's election.
00:26:33the election panel contends that any wrongly excluded
00:26:36voters can request revision in their names and their names
00:26:40can be included back in the list again this long
00:26:43simmering controversy around the special intensive revision became
00:26:47even more rampant after an Indian print daily the
00:26:51Indian express released a report which said that in the
00:26:55three member election commission where there is a chief election commissioner
00:26:59and two other election commissioners there was significant
00:27:03difference between the election chief election commissioner and the other two
00:27:06election commissioners as far as voted matters like
00:27:10voter registrations and deletions are concerned. the election
00:27:14commission on this acknowledged the objections but said that
00:27:18the final decision that was taken by the body was completely
00:27:21unanimous. it's another
00:27:25busy news day here in Moscow and make sure you stay with us as we hand
00:27:29over to Rick Sanchez shortly. he is actually joining us. now in
00:27:33fact uh Rick, it's always a pleasure to see you, what's
00:27:36in store for us today? you remember you and I were talking the
00:27:40night that I had a chance to talk or ask some questions a meeting with Mr.
00:27:44Putin and I asked him if he could figure out this uh,
00:27:48chatten Mutley routine that the West always plays where they're your
00:27:51friend, but then they're also your enemy, and why do you even negotiate
00:27:55with them, and I think we're kind of back to that, because you know over the weekend uh,
00:27:59Mr. Trump did a deal with Mr. Putin on diesel. At the same time the
00:28:03United States was bombing data centers inside of Russia, so which
00:28:07is it, right? Are you my friend or are you my enemy? Are you going to do
00:28:11deal with me? But then after you do the deal, you turn around and you start bombing data centers
00:28:15in our country, because that's what's happening, and it's kind of hard to figure out,
00:28:19and it goes back to that very conversation we had back then on that day, so
00:28:23yeah, we're let's talk about that here on the Sanchez
00:28:25Effect. Just another sign of how
00:28:29complicated this whole situation is, Rick and... Of course, that's Rick Sanchez whose
00:28:33flagship program you can catch right here on RT International
00:28:37in just
00:28:38moment. I'll be back with
00:28:42more news after Sanchez Effect, which is, as you've probably realized
00:28:46is coming up
00:28:47next.
00:30:28Okay, so this is what you need to know about today. First of all, Trump just came out and he...
00:30:32just said this about Zelensky,
00:30:35watch, that's a war that should have never started,
00:30:39and I think it's time for Ukraine to get new president. Wow,
00:30:43time for Ukraine to get new president, is that crazy to say
00:30:46or is it the truth about what even the people inside
00:30:50Ukraine are actually thinking? foreign secretary lease
00:30:54trusts and uh she told him that Britain's aim
00:30:57was for the war continue.
