He did also pay special tribute to those who risk life and limb and all that to call that balance as ukraine show polling stations, not just in boxes, new and boston regions, but also along the folds up despite the terrorist attacks. And you and i already know this, well, the citizens living in these territories have shown not just civic majority. They show coverage and continued to show it. No one as i thought, assumed and said recently, no one intimidated them. And it is impossible to intimidate out people. Well, congratulations are coming in from all around the world, the leaders of india and china, just the latest to send the best wishes to Vladimir Putin. But you call me please the mold as a bit of us cooler reaction coming out from the west, which is just one of many, many things that we will be discussing right here in our phoenix studio where we are bringing you the latest. Not just on the russian president ial election, but quote that concept in all the hi, nancy realisation with ross has asked me for the a while a very sorry one. Welcome to archie into national in case you havent joined us before. We have no food, also lives in a Historic Hotel in the historic cold of the historic city. We are course in moscow in case you didnt guess from the criminal rules behind move up, bring you all special coverage on the russian president ial elections. And of course on that concept that i talked about, the numbers, lets just get them out of the way 3 days of focusing, historic baton out old about its counted not enough to to has a much to fix up getting more than 87 percent of the which means that he will be integrated inmate the ground criminal products, and well leave the country for the next 6. Yes. Like i said today, the 18th of march, all st. Marks 10 years since officially, the crime incident slow and very scenic black, c and uh, and the city of sylvester who officially well the russian se returned home to the Russian Federation. Celebrations of this historic moment in the event taking place all across the country. Like i say it must go always very for it, we get the best of the best. So the biggest concept is taking place, just a couple of 100 meters behind me. You can see on your screen, these are like pictures going on. But why look at live pictures when we can be joined live by our correspondence equals donald, who is that pretending to walk . But we all know really just enjoying the concept eagle. I mean, i doubt you can hear me, but im going to try any way. Whats the by that, is it beginning to fill out that well, thats good to make a bed that i just said about me pretending to work under. Ill give you that. It is very, very loud here, but im going to hold it against you some time later. But you all right, because this is not a working document, a tool, thousands of people all around me. This is very big. Lots of happy faces and lots of rush on the flags. And if you Pay Attention to the, to the same, to the stage, right, the hardware sense, cry me a russian service, scope of 10 years to get that. And thats because people on just celebrate the results of the election of the president ial election, of course, but also its been 10 years, but its been 10 years since the crime may have returned and then became part of the Russian Federation again. So this is a big, big topic here on the really getting here was a challenge in itself because central moscow has been completely blocked and tylers white, massive crowds of people floating under the sun has already set. Uh youre in most colt bucks via all the red flags, the past royce, as they i have to tell you because the world so many people have decided to show up here one thing. But i noticed in many dont face trouble to make one, but i would get more than maybe 25 years old. So im very, very young crowd, which is not something you would normally see. Or you maybe maybe say the president the generation. And here are just looking at this crowded soul ready and all it says it all really im here. Were saying though it seemed far shows the same people done things kind of thing getting on the thing and very, very, very choose to. So a very 1st of the house of most go again, we have no information if allowed to make uh will, will show up here as well for every single one of those who are here, they will be very, very the and makes the address to the nation in the capacity of the president who is answering another term. So definitely something to look out for again, no information about rocks, but we have had a chance to speak to some of the dogs in the selection on the off many of them on here. But so far, i think well just carry on with the enjoy. Oh, using the theres no need to tool and tell some of us here. How that was equal. Okay. That was equal or some of proposing of pulls from the unmistakable red square and joining the concept, like i said, well be keeping an eye on what the, the russian president does make an appearance. In the meantime, i have a chat in the future, but we have had thousands of guests who have been coming in and filling it up over the last 2 days. One of them was too political on the thrill deluxe, and it was very interesting. We were talking about crime a, he said a bit about the history. We talked about why dependence that has become such a fixation for the west. Im specifically, he commented on the french president to many, well not close. Recent comments about quote, seizing crime it back from rush. Lets listen. I do believe that if you really believes that he will be able to take your crime a uh from russia is even more stupid than what i thought because it doesnt remember the queue story and its very uh, its very pitiful because if me, i know this how come those historians . How come the keys come . Sellers are not even telling him the truth. And then background wants to appear like napoleon. Yeah, jim napoli on could raise an army of 300000 soul, yours to go in crimea. You did it, but with more chrome be able to do it. We have 2 or 3 days of and i, munitions, in case of intense high intensity. The war is not going to be able to raise more than 10 or 15000 soldiers. Then what after he knows that they kind of do it, its just the what i call the variables that yeah. Right. Yeah. You just need to justify you inside. You wants to play as well. He wants to be put on the 1st scene in order to get the something from wherever i know and the ok fine, let him well, that might be celebrations now, but unfortunately, the election process was slightly mod as voting wrapped up the russian board to region of bo grudge was again, showed by ukrainian full says now 4 people were killed and 4, moving to that was just on monday. Know, due to Ukrainian Forces targeting at the region and what they was specifically targeting, quoting to the governor with residential. So 10 houses damaged and not ukraine in charlotte and um, but i suppose um, this is something that guessing ive, ive talked about whats astonishing is that people were completely on the tubs. I thought they knew that by gutting and doubts and cost in the products they could potentially and dropping to tragic situation, yet they still felt the desire to exercise that democratic, right. They felt the need to be one of those 87 century 1000000, who came out to support the russian president s see oscar most 10 is a direct cause breaking unprecedented. It is 77. 44 percent for russia. This is a high 10 which this has not happened to the mold in russian history. To explain this, of course, theres several components here, says the political one here is all the time in the west. The elections arent on democratic and so on. And these have been in pays for many, a little actions in russian up free that everyone is full. And as people as actually go into the polls, at some point, this shows how permits is such thing can, is, lets say we have to understand the multinational people. So this is one of the raises and political as for the organizational want, of course, a 3 day vote. Its allowed people to plan their time and there are opportunities in many ways solution. But we can confirm, hey, from the h q of the Election Commission that this was our rank code 2 nights in terms of those who wanted to vote in this president ial election of it. 77 percent of those who are registered to vote to have done exactly that with the last few days. Were using comments, we pop them from the chairperson, the Election Commission. This is ella thomas, whos talked about this site for a tax. She said that they have been 12000000 times over the last few days of stripping the degree of external influence. This time the desire, if not, to disrupt, but to discredit the election, was unprecedented. In addition to traditional methods, several new technologies have been use including the d o s attacks. There were more than 12000000. 00 Cyber Attacks since the beginning of the president ial election campaign. This is 150 times more than usual due, and then the election kind of shows you chose to find out the terror attacks that have been taking place. Particularly in some of the newly incorporated regions in russia saying that this was used as a tactic to try and intimidate, to making stay away from the poles. And she said, actually it had the is the people turned off because they were determined didnt make that voices heard in this election. And well, they did. We knew that there was an over whelming incumbent president slot made preteen, who is now security itself to him as president of the Russian Federation. He will not be in office until the 2013. We support some 87 percent of the election voting, the black. It is booting the hand well about 24 hours ago, but last so i was in this very child has you know, neil with me keeping me company and the exit polls started coming out and we were both here. What about them a to to in came out to give a press conference and also address the nation. He did field questions from both local journalists and foreign. Just a few combats of questions that you really did cover a whole range of topics. Lets listen to some of the highlights chemo events. A database to just get that despite the terrorist attacks. And you and i already know this, well, the citizens living in these territories have shown not just civic majority. They show coverage and continued to show it. No one, as i thought, assumed and said recently, no one intimidated them, and it is impossible to intimidate out people. There are turnouts, both in the New Territories and in the border areas. The turn out is even higher than in the rest of the country. Its simply a response from the people to the actions, trying to intimidate them. Those who do it, dont understand who theyre dealing with. But in part, maybe its a good thing that they dont understand it because in this case, of course, they will be defeated. Now they are trying against trying to get somewhere there to enter. I was given you. They were destroyed. Almost 100 percent of them were destroyed. They moved forward by 100 meters, rush of 25 tanks were destroyed. The enemy has concentrated a group of around 5000. 00 in the border area. Not directly on the state borderline but in search, but somewhere in their immediate rear. But the overall loss is about 40 percent of these opportunities for about 35 percent r, irrevocable, 25. 00 tanks, dozens of Armored Vehicles and so on. If they like it that way, then the in principle which it suits us because they mindlessly attack, right. And its such a meat grinder for them, its even beneficial for us, let them try when you a few days before mister nobility passed away with them. Some colleagues told me not Administration Officials for you. Some people said there was an idea to exchange mister invalid me for some people who are in prison in western countries. Village you can believe me or not during the getting the start of the person who spoke to me and a barely finished his sentence. But i said, i agree. Yeah, i mean, yeah, but unfortunately what happened then you happen to get got the only on one condition that we exchange and so that he doesnt come back, let him sit there. Thats all it. But it happened. Yes, there is nothing. Once they do a bathroom, thats how much of pres, one user, which is go, he want to know my opinion on whether our elections are democratic or not. I think they are democratic. Conversely, in some countries, for example, in your contract, the problems with dish can be considered democratic to you as an administrator in resource and use of issue in order to attack. One of the candidates for president of the United States north distinctive and using traditional authorities. Truth, we have no preference for any of the candidates for president of the United States of america. We will work with whoever the voters track allergies, but the use of administrative resources, the judicial system. Its just kind of a dictionary and thats what a disgrace to the whole world for the night. It states united way or democratic or on a so called on the washing system. As youre more than interested, i have every reason to believe that we do not see any diversity for at least up during the electoral process. I know some western countries including the United States today, therefore except the return pack please. I dont think its just that simple. We throw these, im not completely stupid people and sitting in all the institutions that has been working against our country for decades. Even though when their problem is, in my opinion, is eliza or the fact that after the collapse of the soviet union, there were a very large number of messages. And to show that union still could not do anything else, it looks like the soviet union. And then with the russian that arose in front of a territory doing so, they began to convince their Political Leadership summit, public, and their countrys interest that they need to continue finishing russia. Offer such a way to go with the website themselves will not be left without a job. A salesman, new generations of specialists or Companies May realistically assess, be against taking place. I think they will be more sophisticated, but they will not change their goals with regard to russia. Well, like i have been promising you, ive been promising you ex, but opinion. Ive been promising you political pundits. Ive been promising it will. So a very experienced and knowledgeable correspondence. Im not going to not do that, but im joined now in the studio, but ill do a washington and then well make one chime and ill be african parliamentary is for him on population. And development is very good to have you with me. And just before we went live, you told me the 1st time you came here. 1989. Yes. Hear you. Ok. When see 24. Hows the russia chang saw has ross. Its a thank you so much that has been dramatic tins of their russia. I knew United States and 9 in that row. Sam seemed to the physical appearance of citizens, human relations of chains, and the transfer of russia in a. And that is our ability to stall most of the shops for people to buy has since, you know, it tells about this trend for the economy. And the things went on like this. And you came this time because you came to absolve the elections, the president ial elections . Did you visit polling stations . What was your impression . Oh i, i went to the siberia and then you know, the capitalist, i did a novel, novelist, threes, bix, and i visited the costs of the following stations, lots of the business of them.

How it has been organized and you know, the interest as the people to vote. I saw it all. I want to get your opinion specifically on the reaction because the global south, uh, thered been room wishes. Congratulations. Vladimir putin were ready to do business with you over the next 6 years. The west has either been silent or theyve been critical. Um, when it comes to a lot of my boots and im the global south, is he a lead to the nations field, but they can do. Oh, i did warn you off to, im sorry. I believe the platinum appear to me is just speaking in red square behind me. Lets listen to what he has to say. Thats what it, yes it was the bottom of my heart. So was, so you didnt even congratulate you about the end of the 3 of the reunification of trying when youre inside of a sofa with russia, which is 10 years ago. Did you guys what that i saw here say on the on the red square youll have to im still getting justin is that you put the blame on. I dont know a similar crowd than that, but it will allow me to go back to try me. It was cold, but i have moved out with the Aircraft Carrier which cannot so youd be just going to get somebody to try me is not only as strategically inclusive the territory overall shopping. I just not only parts of our history tradition at the pretty as the see the pride of russia to try me. It was points it let them change the people of some of stobel. I need not people of try me. This is you need your vehicle while we are immensely proud of that is due to elizabeth. All right, so they never separated themselves from russia or most of stuff stuff through decades. They kept notice identity, and this is what allowed them to come to back to the bus, to the russia. Who would you put it roy . She asked to the dumbass laross. Yeah, thatll give you some the, the people who lived there. Yeah. So im just letting you know also. So what ive noticed giving you the class, they are intentional because theyll say that of the go hold them. But that pos that i get you was much more difficult. No tragic. It was the only at the, however, yet the doors we did it, wed get that we stood in that time. This was the, its a great to be happening around the history of law states who will look now where walking hand in hand shows that to show that you dont start developing together living together, made that over. I dont know if this morning i would or how the report to that might be ran away from the rest of the squares. People and their dance has been restored. Today im gonna see about and soon it drains you, shell go straight to the set a sample that all the, and this will be another alternative. What did the cry me in bridge, and im almost done with that. Whats views to this is what we can we do that, should you mean that having a hand in hand to slow off . Im not, and its not just what it is, the actions which make us stronger. If you are the police were blood or they didnt, all this is happening has thanks to you. I see the citizens of russia the that i use it was yeah. Dear friend joseph kelly. I just met my colleagues but actually slowly put my colleagues hewick. Im assuming if she just walked that costs as much as the president ial candidates do, im not, and i invited them to move in the middle, but to come here, what else we need to revisit . Theres a defense annual auction or something. And if this festive occasions, we have different approaches to achieving our goals, but we have one model that i think and so they are here today. I congratulate them and i want them to say a few words as well. What are you, the different zip . Only 2 to 3 orders, maybe the remember the troubling time of wednesday or try a country is still good. I am well, send you inside about the feet of prime me about to we hope which is that it will for him. Come back and see what your thoughts motherland. Ok. Dealing with zillow as well. The president statement here and youre just your cool dreamer. We did everything and the president did everything. What is the morning to help people try me .

Nope on it is when the try me and the senate still pulls the bill. So the became part of the great russia on the political map of the world forever to you. But i swear those more difficult to do the what is or the but we didnt have any other solution where there was no other ways to help us with people reach that whole. Joshs uh, we remember the happy faces, the happy eyes, the smiles for those who managed to return home on. Yeah, its going to come back to the great russia. Mitchell did a good as we celebrate to your soldiers assess the 10th anniversary. This of the great historic day for is which has been tried with the history of the russian nation forever. I want to congratulate you on those courageous people the people of try me and so as to so the congratulations are sure to rush up to our great future. Good to the president of great question that i do believe you go to the use of your friends choose to. I will never forget what i felt on the minutes this friday i felt for my country and all my precedence of about 10 years ago, i was putting bradley, congratulations to the match licensee and the on the 3 tail russia. The well not him at 21045. 00 for the new pump kit on monday and handed to him by 87000000. 00 votes standing on the historic red square and talking about that historic event. Fast in the 60s of march 2014. From of the 96. 77 percent ton out. 83 point one percent. They say so what they say. Return home to some russian motherland about 2000000. Quite mans just so you understand. Now what has been a long journey for cry mandates and really back to the, the ninetys. But they have to have that russian identity and full. Finally, they had zach johnson the referendum about sense of home that they feel for sort of way back in the 18th century on the costume. The great worry. Im not going to talk colsons not to miss newton history lesson, but i will say that for crime in this is obviously a huge event. And i can say that safely because ive been quite a man. Ive spoken to the people the and i was very nosy, and i also, and how they voted in a very open about it. And they talked about the concrete transformation that has taken place on the pendant to increase the g d p growth by 3. 5 percent. Were talking about the increase of salaries, 300 kilometers of roads, felt a 15010 to gardens renovated things that actually have an impact on peoples daily life. But of course on to lining all of this the roads and the kindergartens. Thats one thing. But its a sense of being russian on a feeling confident and being able to speak to our language and being able to be part of russian culture and be proud of russian history. That was the most momentous part of that referendum. And of course not them, it boots and we can hear that still singing the russian him of course, offered a chance to speak to the 3 other man in this president ial race. That was her a ton of top on costs. And of course, slootsky all of them, although perhaps not triumphant in the president ial election speech very triumphantly opposed about thought reunification a decade has paused a concept 10 years later from the exact moment thought the officially crime in the city of so i scuffled, became integrated, and the Russian Federation being celebrated to the very hall of musket, the red square, a place that sees Christmas Market sees consists few is of course the knights of may victory prayed. That square has seen it all. There was no most fitting face to talk about a sense of being russian and i once now before we were rudely disrupted by the russian president himself, why would you want to come back to the wonderful guys to so i mean, the studio just again introduce some abdur, rashid piping in lou amaica, we were talking about settlement piece. I mean very confident speaking. The, of course hes confident 87 percent vote. And i like i just before we got to pizza and i asked you about how the west has been condemning. Its not enough hootons for his re election. The blues itself is not. What does not tell us . Well, it tells you about that just in whats to is nothing about interest. Or once you have this notion that interests, it is symbolized by his precedence that people of rosy have confirm. Its that this is that mind. We once hes busy and an interest which is our interest and fights and for us and the company in the other defendants. And besides that. And so what other westcan them said, donalds, it is russia and it says the entries you can, you can do it. Its not bad, thats that. By the way also has this interest is interest is that they shouldnt be any power, stronger than them. They shouldnt be any power equal to them. They should have dominance of the wealth and dictates as what it wants. So if anybody contradicts this general, i believe in principle, then you become an enemy and explicitly, if thats the relation between them, has in it into effect what theyre called or defined as she might arise that one definition of its own definition of the democracy and all of that then they become, you know, that they become hostile to you and thats going to pretend is not, this is not pretending to be one who we is
