On audiences and home. And the way the election is not just confined to the countries borders of russians around the world have been exercising their democratic right to the im rachel ruble live in moscow. Youre watching r t international. Barely a day goes by right now without the french president seemingly keen to for more fuel on the fire when it comes to potential escalation over the war. A new crane in his latest interview. Emanuel micron now says a ground operation against russia may be necessary. Maybe at some point, it will be necessary to carry out operations locally in order to counter russian forces. Frances might is in our ability to do so. We are ready to prepare for any scenario. It would be a mistake not to do so. These are very serious comments by fresh president and not even my con, whats behind all of those who really knows. But well, its very dangerous when you have the president of a nato countries stating a potential direct conflict with vasa, that is literally the definition of an escalation here. But at the same time, it might just be old. Poke because in one of his recent comments the 1st president make has made it quite unclear on where the situation sense pleasant dont like to reach the president of the republic is responsible for national defense. He makes decisions for the safety of the french people. And i make the decision because after 2 years of war, we systematically did what we said we werent going to do. 2 years ago, we said that we would never send tanks. We sent them and you only have 2 years ago. We said we would never send Medium Range Missiles this. Thats what we did. We said we would never send planes. Now, some are doing it. We have set too many boundaries, so to speak, in our vocabulary then you, we are not aggravating things. We are not at war with russia. We just have to clearly understand that we must not allow russia to win on the other show. So what hes saying here is essentially doesnt really matter what western politicians say, because their comments dont align with their actions. The philosophy that they have here is were not at war with russia, but we will keep on doing everything we can to make the conflict even worse. So we dont know, maybe hes just trying to show that france is and its for the long run. But then again, you know, given ukraine, all these empty promises is not really helping kids in any way, shape or form. Its really concerning to hear my crohn say these things. Has there been any reaction from moscow to this . No, not yet. But we did previously here from most goes on most goes views when it comes to my call statements. Now the kremlin spokesperson to meet your best call did state that france is not against increasing the degree of its involvement in the conflict. Does this, we read macross statements. The fact that russia is an enemy of france is obvious, because paris is already drawn into the war and ukraine, and is taking an indirect part in this war. And judging by the president statements, frances not averse to increasing the degree of its involvement. So it wilma is mac crohn alone in his assessment of the situation on the ground. He was, but i suppose your, the rest of europe doesnt really want to be left out because you have, your ukraine says, 2nd biggest donor in the 1st biggest donor in europe, which is germany. Now, germany is making a whole scenarios on how russia is planning to take over europe. Political listen, you current, you know, so i try to get and talk every day. Ukraine defends the peace of pose boats fins, romanians and no regions, none of whom are located in the heart of europe like us, but whose countries bowed to directly on ukraine or russia. We havent taken that concern seriously in germany before. That must not happen to us again. Its payton is not stopped by the ukrainians in east and ukraine. The will will come right to a do step, a bowl to can polish friends. Keep reminding us of this, a decreasing support would bring the will close to to us, and we must and want to prevent that together. Now this also comes, i made a risk between german chancellor and his ministers on whether the centaurs midsize to ukraine or not. So the officials voted down another resolution which proposed to send these tours ms. Also crane and Opposition Party leaders, fear that the weapons may just make germany defacto, a part of the conflict. And on the wednesday, the chancellor once again ruled out sending these tours. Smiths house to ukraine. The delivery also has been subject of heated debate in berlin and some German Parliament members, as well as the u. K. Has been pressuring berlin to just do so. Plus, we also have earlier this month and intercepted audio of showing German Defense officials discussing possible targets in russia to strike the commission. Also, i came to the conclusion that there are 2 interesting targets, the bridge in the east and the ammunition depos above the bridge. And the east is hard to reach, its a rather small target, but the torres can do it. The ammunition depots can also be hit. We need to ensure that from the very beginning, there is no mention that would make us part of the conflict. I am exaggerating a bit, but if we tell the minister now that we plan meetings and well drive by call from poland, so that no one notices thats already participation and we wont do that on monday and do you think it is possible to hope that ukraine will be able to do everything on its own. After all, it is known that there are many people there in civilian clothes who speak with an american accent. Now if youre up continues in this route, instead of just negotiating, there is a very high chance that this conflict will escalate, not only to in ukraine and become even worse, but it may even go even further than the borders. If you claim the fleet or of the french patriots party, florrie, and philip all believes my crown only use such talk this language to conceal his lack of actual power. We use it to the dog as good when the crown says france is a power of bees. Thats the only time he says the would be. What struck me and im, i know im a grown speech, was precisely the absence of the would be the absence of the word negotiations, which does not appear at all. But on the contrary, a continuation of a kind of dramatize zation used to exist as a fright defronzo in relation to the you creating conflict. There is no exist angel thread in this case. So he uses dangerous woods, explosive woods and he doesnt tell the truth. If we are under an exist angel threat, we have the right to use nuclear weapons. Mccomb wants to show off his small muscles as he doesnt have many uses words that he can handle today. Im a chrome his talking a lot because he wants to try to compensate for hes like a fellow at another time he lied a lot was when he said he did everything, he could to prevent it and keep the peace. He mentioned the means agreements. You said the fronds in germany had done everything to ensure that these agreements with respect to it is not true on the country. But as the front salon wasnt bellwood time german chancellor angela medicaid said last year that they did not implemented denise agreements when they should have as the french military, who have seen 40 percent of french and tillery already go to ukraine. What they think they think is crazy for our own safety. So in fact, we have already done a lot and mcgraw and wants to do even more using weapons and money, which we dont have any way because we are, hes in debt and out on me has already been reduced to 0. Ive seen that in French Public opinion, they will not forget about macro and said because the french of fed up well if you crane is beaten on the battlefield, analysts increasingly believe it wont just be a defeat for to yeah. But also asked her to check failure for the west. As with predictions, the blow back will be fears and the costs high. You can read all about that and so much more on our website. Archie dot com. The meanwhile, a 16 Year Old Girl has been killed after the russian city of belgrade, once again came under ukrainian shelling. A man was also left injured. Archie, producer maga, met the child of reports from the scene. And all that has happened just this morning. 16 here. 60 Year Old Girl was on to life in her house and her father. Hes wanted, hes in the hospital right now. He has concussions. Direct heat from ukrainian em. Allow us to insure house you to bring a note for intelligence book. This keeps saying that the targets only mailed for targets full. You can see one of these milford on its way behind my back actually effects on the region intensified grey plate. And a lot of these usually add defends intercept most of the targets. All of them in some cases, but thats not just a real, a tax community, according to mil to intelligence on trying to think some of the villages and towns line right on the border with ukraine. The Russian Ministry of defense told us that over their tax for adults and who to be repelled, which is the so the final day of fresh provincial elections and the people he and theyll go to college and how we like the whole thing. They want to share their, their consultants, and they believes that when i actually, when i choose the past in the country, it will, will stuff for. And they do believe that in such and such and such a background in the background. Of course im showing, this is the most important things they can do. They need to vote for the constant shilling, but youre creating forces comes as russia is going to, the polls is the 3rd and final day of the president ial election and all pulling stations across the country are open. Its the final chance for people to have their say on who gets to govern the Worlds Largest country for the next 6 years. So well as it stands, that social turn out has passed to 63 percent, meaning almost 70000000. 00 people have it cast their ballots, and thats not including boats that were made online. But as of right now, the final day of voting is underway and all of a russia is 11 time zones in the west pulling stations. Ive only been open a few hours, compare that to the east, where theres just a few hours left about as part of our special coverage. Weve set up a studio in the heart of the russian capital with an enviable view of some of the cities iconic landmarks. And from there we are bringing new updates on all the latest developments. The hey, we are downtown moscow, the heart of the russian capital here with the Company Behind the bait and his glory is lights from one of us here wishing you a very well welcome to our special election coverage. Folding stations are going from 8 am to 8 pm. Now, admittedly, that happened a couple of troublemakers who have tried to solve the voting process. We can show you some footage to apparently some employees that opposing station prevented a woman from pouring green tie into a ballad. Box on friday, several similar cases store a total of more than 200. 00 pallets ruined across some 20 regions of the country. All the perpetrators, the thing they will face up to 5 years in prison because you cant do that. The state property. Now election, Officials Say the suspects were a penalty blackmailed by people that legit leave as they say, the Election Officials are blaming ukraine and some weston countries. Now of course, the vote is also being in full swing in the newest and baffled russian regions. Despite the constant ukrainian threat of shelling and one pointing station is that all she recently came under a drone, a top with no casualties, reported the key of did shell upholding station in the neighborhood of Southern Region on friday. I know you this saturday, are you crazy and striking that same area killed one severely and wounded for others according to local russian officials. And yet, despite all of that, the russians are still going out side. They are still going to the pose. Well, lets join a very special guest whos now in our studio here downtown to the heart of moscow, another international election. Observe a pet throughout the world of your to guess its great to have you. Here you are the president of bongo university. Youre from easy. Oh, sure, youre an election absorber here.

Does it seem legit because according to western politicians, this whole election is a show to be on us from my humble opinion i want to express to you. Is it as well as planned . We load gun lies. I have visited all the forwarding station. You see what surprised amazing is that, you know, the range of that kind of, for boy think my con is in, which is never seen in the history. Thats right. For what ive seen. Is it very much surprising academics, extremely excited. Have you seen anything that russia could do better with the voting process . Have you seen any flaws, any problems or any, i dont know discrepancies, but i mean, can you, can you recommend any improvements . No, no, i dont have any put them on the sides that i want to say is really i begun to write a memo for my son, for my country. Ive been, i am going, you know, back to my home to share the experience while to have seen here. This is 0 flight that a why should i forgot the addition to whole that im christian. So i should reason his wife to have seen here. Yeah. So thats is a very best example. Where do you see the relationship between africa and russia moving towards in the future . Whats your full cost . Of course, from my form of experience i have had in my life. And as a score of what im going to say is, is a friend to ship the browser would watch. We have Research Shows genuine from humble, you know, me a test phone. And do you know the pin number . This is what i want to save. Both russia, so from one of i say it was so grateful you could join us for a special coverage here with our lovely studio in the heart of moscow, with a beautiful cabinet in the back dropped a special election coverage will continue here on, on the inside so aside from fulton, who are the other contenders in the race . A lot of slavic down in costs is from the up and coming new people party from our business man. He claims to be the young, fresh face russian needs. He was the last of the 4 candidates to cast his ballad earlier on sunday. Next step, nikolai hart turned off from the communist party. Hes a parliamentary veteran who has been a familiar face and the role of politics for more than 3 decades. On the key issue of ukraine, he says there can be no more goodwill gestures. He was in fact to the runner up when he lasted for president in 2004 this year he tested so that the moscow fully station encourage. So this is still havent done so to take part in the side in the countries future. I encourage everyone who has not yet voted to do so today. The elections are taking place in difficult conditions, but as an old, difficult times. Today, the multinational people of russia have coast validated in all parts of the country, people a willingly going to the polls. I have met with International Observers from the c i s, and the c s t o from dunbar to the far east. They have no complaints about the conduct of the elections. This is yet another confirmation that our elections are going well. And finally, leon edit slootsky, who leads the liberal Democratic Party and who has been in politics for 3 decades. More recently, he was also a member of the russian delegation of the assembled peace talks with ukraine back in the spring of 2022. On saturday, he headed to a pulling station in moscow. The cast is valid ortiz royce. You should, i had the chance to talk and to the president ial contender, sons the slips, the sanctions and restrictions of which more than 18000 have been imposed by the west against russia to date have failed. And our National Economy and social policy are strengthening the World Politics of the new century can only be multi polar, were every arbitrarily small country, its people, history, culture, traditions, religion. National language will become a separate Decision Making center in this multi polar, safe and stable World Architecture of the 21st century, which is already being formed. It is today, it is in these years. And russia has become the center of gravity in the formation of this new World Architecture. This new global majority. We all miss vladimir wolf, of which is you ever know. The man who founded perhaps the most creative Political Party in modern russia. A man who really knew how to look into the future with the power of his intellect. A completely unique person during his lifetime, inscribed his name in golden letters in the history of russia. And this is recognized by his supporters and his opponents. I am his successor, and i dont want to create some kind of p, r for myself on purpose. Those who believe in the l dpr in our party. They know me and my popularity has grown. But i feel uncomfortable saying this about myself. As far as your renewal escape is, holy name will always remain and not only with our party, who will remain is the name of the person who put forward strategic ideas for the development of russia. And meanwhile, russians living abroad are excluded either or polling stations are open all across the world and sitting in the former soviet republics in central asia and Eastern Europe with kaz extend tier to san and took many stand among those countries where russians have been able to vote, but people have been gathering outside russian embassies all across the world from asia to europe, pulling stations will remain open until 8 pm local time. You heard from voters are currently in indonesia who believe its important to have those say. Well i think is the responsibility of every citizen into every citizen all over the world to participate and 2 volts. Yeah, i think its really important because now we have a hard time in the country. So i think its time when every citizen i have to give you his voice, his voice to the leader, fellow country. Because all the ones, the changes that i think its very important because some of the current political, institutional level idiots are on the roads are for train, crushes a real estate. Absolutely do not agree with them. They are harmful and theyre those uh those sides. Those can, those, uh, those thoughts are very damaging to all of us and we, i dont like that at all. So i think that its important for the person to go into expressing through throughout the 2 years of the conflict, a new crane there have been frequent calls from the. C hist for regime change in russia, but as our teaser goes down of reports, those hopes may come up sort. Theres nothing more the west one. So then to just erase latimer putting it from the political landscape. Well have a different search here, a Brighter Future router and democracy in principle, open lines of decency, dignity of freedom and possibilities. For gods sake, this man cannot remain power. I think presence the white house made the point last night that quite simply present to cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression. I guess ukraine or anyone else and im not walking anything back as an expression more our races. I feel, and i make no apologies for it, were able to see how much were isolating the russian regime right now because we need to do so we can nama, can we political into, to magically, and well tell the impact. So, so in society and how much we received potential regime change in russia, americas political pop, its in europe, i having the same dream, please, please just make a big, bad loud go away from our standpoint, up until the point the current regime is not in power the country surrounding it will be to some extent and danger, not just put in but the whole regime because, you know, one might change putin and might change his inner circle. But another pollutant might rise into his place. What we actually see instead in todays russia is the censorship for by gumbo, the leading voices of the opposition in the game. However, these, the so called elections are still unimportant elements of the Political Developments in the country. And us senator Lindsey Graham doesnt even hide his point blank diplomatic methodology because nothing shows your exclusive mastery or handling geo politics. Like suggesting a will lead or shouldnt be assassinated. Is there a brutus in russia . Is there a more successful kernel stuff and berg and the Russian Military . The only way this ends is for somebody in russia to take this guy out. You wouldnt be doing your country and the world a great service, or as successful as lee harvey oswald. Perhaps, isnt it right scientists . I wonder why that name was suit conveniently emitted from this speech. Anyhow, though russia has been repeatedly calling out the us and that you over the election meddling attempts for us to look up blue. We have been accumulating a lot of materials about how the European Union embassies in moscow are preparing for our president ial elections. What intervention mechanisms and supporting projects for our non systematic opposition just are being prepared in general. Things that embassies have no right to do. Having collected such information, we invited all the ambassadors of the European Union to a meeting with me. I wish i wanted to tell them we simply advise them in good faith, not to do this 2 days before the scheduled meeting. They sent us a note saying they had decided not to come. Can you imagine relations with states at the diplomatic level whose in passengers are afraid to come to a meeting with the minister of a country to which they are accredited . Where has that been seen . Thats the manners of the sworn partners, the russian language information resources of the us embassy in moscow are actively used to interfere in the president ial elections in russia. We regard such actions as interference in the internal affairs of our country. Well, russia might as well be talking to a stone goal here, though the outcome wont be much different because washington solemnly swears all these attempts done in the name of democracy, freedom and russians, right . To choose. I think its impossible to separate the elections context from the environment of oppression that i was just talking about. Russians deserve the right to chart their own course. And certainly what were seeing is that their ability to chart their own course through receiving impartial and from mation being able to exercise their fundamental freedoms. That is extremely troubling, as it makes it so much more difficult for russians to be able to express the future that they want for themselves. And that is, its a tragedy for russia. Quote, is it though . Because in that case, ignoring vladimir food is public support seems like a terrible, terrible oversight. This rating by the way, has been reported by no government affiliated pollster. On the contrary, Nevada Center has had repeated fully outs with the authorities and rushes and ministry of justice even declared it as a for an agent. But instead the us chose a different part. The parts of a hind picking political fig as they like, and showering with praise and love, like buddies and ideas in whose failure to properly read just as a president ial candidate who has been a pool in the west. Despite himself publicly admitting to screwing things up. This is, of course, an incredible how long the explanation might be. Much simpler. Washington and its allies are just used to regime change and level of back of truly what the leave behind is not pretty. The terrorist insurgents in iraq years of civil war and Gang Violence and libya. It took them 20 years to replace the taliban in afghanistan. With the taliban, we are experiencing air isnt changed operations and this operations. They are over a 2 or 0. 03 covered that always, america used a to remove energy instead. Does not please its policy that does not, was, was its policy. And most of the time this happened was their agent was the regimes that was elected democratic gates. So america is given your lesson that democracy is not allowed when the 1st that you elected does not match with our policy. Its not only happening in the middle east, its happened in south america. Acceptance and youre on, its happens, it started, was it should it being with the, and ways to do about it with you i of course this policy we need and there you can know where its we take it to make more or less than the was its its not doing good for america because people started the trusting the american politic in general, americas political establishment seems to enjoy this democracy delivery delirium and on laying its tactics to arrest for rules yukon. Teach an old rabbit dog, new tricks. Well in the dont ask repub, like one local family has been marked in the event with music. Its the 1st time the region has taken part in the russian president ial election, which for this group was a reason to celebrate that song. Meanwhile, group taken part of the election or from a mining family with roots in the region stretching back 500 years. But they say the vote is about looking to the future. Yeah, i might have some yacht each time. I mean, my family have been actively involved since the very 1st minutes of joining russia. They really loved the g at the 3 a part of the greats of russia. We have participated in various festivals and phone service that took place in vasa, in support of the new regions. This is probably the most i can do is mother to force at best truancies and in my children my senior since we came here with the whole family. Of course we will vote for families to grow even bigger traditions, very important to us. In the future we hold this things will only be better. We whole but right future is not far off. The local strong man certainly had the pulling power, literally dragging voters to the boots in the city of marietta wasnt because people didnt want to go. But rather part of a special ride to the election publicity campaign, along with other local is believe this is a historic day for the region here just because the opposite. We joined this campaign to light them up to day so that people can go to the polling stations in a good movie. Today is a historic day for all residents of done by us for the New Territories and for russia as a whole. Because there has not yet been such a unifying vote that most of what today is not just a festive mode for us, but the very fast if event overall, every one of us has to make a choice. This choice is our future for our children and the clear sky above our heads to see what is in that. Today is a significant day for us as we are choosing our future. Its such a positive atmosphere here. People are willing to go to the polls. The motions are overwhelming. So one of those having her say in the current elections is french journalist, custodian twos the editor in chief of the don best inside her. Shes been covering events and the reason since 2016 when she moved to dunn at cities saying she was motivated to give the other side of the story. I move to don bass to refute whats written by most media outlets. They publish a lot of nonsense and playing lies about this conflict. My goal is to show the reality on the ground. I wanted to listen to and give voice to the don best residents whom the regime and key of calls terrorist simply because they refused to recognize the may don qu data. I want to stay here even, and especially after the war, i have met wonderful people here who defend the same values as myself. People with big hearts who have become like a 2nd family to me are teaser mon customer. Ive managed to talk to chris stoney and herself as building began in the region. The president ial election continue here in the next peoples republic right now, election communities traveling across through a public. And im making sure that everyone who wants to vote and get to exercise
