Dreams, well, judging by the reaction of the white house, these words of macron, but in any case this is how they are trying to present it, became some kind of unpleasant surprise for them, but despite everything they continue to seriously, firstly, discuss military assistance to ukraine, the allocation insane tens of billions, plus the pentagon again started talking about the fact that this year there will be a delivery of combat aircraft. And f16 aircraft to kiev, well , the hackneyed phrase of the red line, it seems to me that it is not very appropriate, and yet less, we will perceive it as if aircraft are delivered or if these aircraft fly from airfields located in some nato member country to carry out their combat missions, that this will be, well, obviously it will be, it is unlikely that they will not be based on ukraine, but we. This has already been commented on several times, and the fate of these aircraft is unenviable, just like the fate of the american and german leopards, abrams, which are regularly, regularly destroyed on the battlefield, the same will happen with aircraft, you remember how ukraine announced in the newspapers a counteroffensive, it was done three or four months, and maybe even more before the start of the offensive contour itself, now that we have heard, and we have heard, that. To carry Nuclear Weapons, we have time to prepare for this and find adequate answers if such planes will appear in the skies over ukraine. I remember how 2 years ago, sitting in this room, shortly after the start of a special military operation, you and i talked, and then we agreed, perhaps, that we are now, in a sense, diplomats. Has changed, yes, obviously, obviously for everyone, for themselves, including, fatigue from the ukrainian plot, including the fatigue of the initiators of the discussion of this issue. Security or the General Assembly, last friday, as you know, we had anniversary, the second anniversary, of the start of a special military operation, which they wanted to widely celebrate in the General Assembly in the Security Council, a Landing Party of european, socalled Foreign Ministers of the european union, arrived. The meeting of the General Assembly turned out to be very inexpressive; frankly speaking, they read their bravura speeches in support. The other day Boris Johnson appeared in kiev again, well, a certain feeling arises and i want to test my own guesses on the one hand. Does it even make sense to conduct until may 20 some negotiations with ukraine or wait until some other legitimate leader is there. There are no negotiations with ukraine either directly or through any intermediaries. We naturally welcome any constructive proposals for negotiations, we have always stated that we have never refused them, but our negotiations ended in two episodes, the first was in april of twenty two, as you know. When ukraine refused to sign the initialed agreement in istanbul on the direct orders of Boris Johnson and the ukrainian overseas sponsors, this is the first and second, when zelensky signed a decree prohibiting him from dealing with the russian leadership, now they are running around like a discarded bag with the so called zelensky peace formula, which is not a peace formula, it is a mockery in general. Over the peace plan, in fact , this is an ultimatum to russia, it is clear that this, that this in no way can serve as the beginning of any negotiations, the task is crafty, but simple, to drag as many countries there as possible and portray Broad International support this initiative to ukraine , many countries of the global south have already understood this, which at first were participants in this copenhagen process, because it all started in copenhagen, then jida and. In other places in dawas recently, they simply left there, they just dont travel, china, the same brazil, and many others, switzerland, recently there was a meeting of the General Assembly and the swiss minister of Foreign Affairs approached me, who mysteriously told me that they were going to hold some kind of summit on ukraine, switzerland somewhere closer to the summer , this an idea that zelensky himself has been toying with for a long time, to my question. Does this imply an invitation to russia, the minister avoided answering , saying that well, this is the first step, we are creating conditions for possible future platforms where you could discuss something, you understand that all this is not serious, absolutely not serious , especially that the opposite side has no desire to talk to us about anything, as for what will happen after may 20, i cannot comment on ukrainian internal political life, but i think that surely zelensky will find some formula that will. Allow him to continue his vigorous political activity, he will find, this is how it will be perceived even on the platform, how someone will sit there sour, as. A representative of what, what regime . I dont know yet, well find out after may 20th. You said that ukrainians are generally not interested in negotiations, but they are always interested in money. The same kuleba, then i just saw the video, acted like such a fitter of the swordsmen of ukrainian politics, he started quote 12 chairs, talk about money in the morning, chair in the evening and so on, that is, they have already dropped to this level, and. Knows the soviet classics, i think, not only 12 chairs, like a person who gave birth in soviet times , i am sure that he knows other classics, however, now he is unlikely to admit it, of course, there are no rules, this in general, this is called in one simple word, this is an attempt at theft, so our western partners, they are racking their brains and poring over over legal formulas, how it is legal to substantiate, they cant find anything yet, because as soon as they did this, they know that. They froze interest on deposits on russian deposits, but they are afraid to touch the deposits themselves, because this of course, this will of course be a disaster for the entire system of the international, International Monetary and financial system, they have no legal or legally justified decisions in this regard, they want to, but its difficult, and of course, of course, there is nothing in any un charter, in any un documents Something Like this simply does not exist. You often emphasize that the most serious crisis in the world right now is not the situation around russias special military operation in ukraine, but the situation in the middle east, the scale of whats happening there is visible every day, recently news came that the houthis have already they are attacking communication lines, it is clear that all this is caused by. The actions of israel, so you made a statement the day before that russia will not support the draft resolution of the united states, well, what are our complaints to the americans here, and why is biden so confident that a ceasefire is expected almost at the end of this week, the beginning of next week . Indeed, the conflict in the middle east is the hottest topic right now. Which is being discussed all over the world, not only in the un, and its not just the situation in gas, which is catastrophic, we just discussed this topic yesterday, the topic, the topic of hunger, in gas 6,000 people are on the verge of starvation, what consequences will all this bring for the younger generation, it is difficult to predict, but this is actually in fact, genocide of the future, this is being done. Purposefully, in our opinion, but in addition to the situation in gas itself, which is discussed regularly in the east and now there, because of the position of one wellknown country, there are risks that this conflict will escalate into a regional, regional and, god forbid, global escalation. Surprisingly, you probably remember the forecast of the late vladimir volchichavsky, who, in my opinion, back in 2019, said that speaking somewhere about. Its fraught, fraught, the middle east has always been a powder keg, now the match is already presented, but we are dealing with, well , outright sabotage, and one of the members of the Permanent Security Council of its basic functions. Can we talk about this . So it is, of course, of course, talk about this resolution, this resolution is a spoiler, it was put forward by the americans, undoubtedly in defiance. The fact that they had to revise Council Resolutions four times, four times, demanding a ceasefire, the last one was last week, in their resolution. A ceasefire is framed with crafty words, when it will be possible, in essence, the americans are giving israel a license to continue killing ghaz civilians, because when it is possible, when israel achieves its goals, it will destroy everything that can be destroyed there, when it conducts a ground operation in rafah, from where people have nowhere to escape except to break through the border with egypt, rush to the sinai peninsula. Which causes great concern for egypt itself, and in general this is unacceptable, everyone is talking about this, i believe this resolution will not be supported not only by us, or, for example, china, but also by me it seems that it, it has every chance of not being adopted, because the majority of members of the Security Council will not vote for it, there may not even be a need for a veto, the americans say, there is no need for any resolutions, we are working quietly, we are coming to an agreement, the process is now underway about the release of hostages, in an exchange, yes. We need to work calmly, this resolution will ruin everything, so, so to speak, their logic is crafty, in fact, of course, they are trying with all their might to prevent the Security Council from sending, the only signal that he can send to israel an immediate ceasefire, only after an immediate ceasefire is it possible to provide humanitarian assistance or any assistance to the unfortunate population of gaza, look, these practices are delaying, blurring with. With a deliberate decrease in the rate of effectiveness of any diplomatic efforts, they are being implemented not only in the middle east, take, for example, the investigation into the explosions of the northern streams, at what stage is it now . Well, you saw the statement from sweden and denmark on this matter, which stopped the investigation, having said that it was obvious, of course, it was sabotage, but no information about possible suspicion. They have no suspects , so the investigation has been stopped, now our turn is germany, the last country in which a National Investigation is still underway. They, as you know, did not allow us to participate in the investigation, although we are the owners, the owners of these undermined gas pipelines, so in a deplorable state, but this topic will not be washed away, because we plan to raise it in the near future in the council security, first perhaps in a consultation format, and then we speak in an open format, too, and this does not prevent them from accusing us without evidence of something else, but the last scandal here was so american inside, but it of course, it also took on an International Dimension when , out of the blue, they suddenly began accusing russia of allegedly trying to place Nuclear Weapons in space, or perhaps even outer space through the efforts of washington. And allies are turning into a territory where theirs will dominate the proverbial rulesbased world. These statements by american officials have been repeatedly refuted by our colleagues. By the way, a meeting of a group of Government Experts on space will be held here soon, and i think that this will be one of the hottest topics, because for sure the americans. Will be promoted, we put forward annually at the General Assembly initiatives related to peaceful space, including preventing the placement of the first weapons in space. On what data do they base their fabrications, i dont know, but according to one version, this was done, among other things , in order to justify, justify the allocation of Financial Assistance to ukraine, which, as you know, is being slowed down by the us congress. This is the crisis that we are talking about now, but it all has its roots in one thing, that is, there is clearly a need to rebalance the Security Council, in the Security Council there is a group of countries obedient to the hegemon or to the former or losing power of the hegemon, which in this group, yes, with their scream they create a feeling the fact that then. They vote against, this is not considered a veto, but we are constantly accused of abusing the right of veto, but we resort to it rarely and in exceptional cases only when we fail to agree, when they push through decisions that go against the interests of maintaining International Security or against our national interests, the veto is an extreme case, which is a legitimate tool, after all, we do not blame the americans. In the illegitimacy of their use of the right to vote in recent four cases, we are saying that this is not justified, but we are not saying that they do not have the right to do this, the veto is the last, the last refuge if the members of the Security Council, especially the five , fail to agree between ourselves , reform is overdue, its true, there have been conversations about it for a very long time, the problem is that the positions of groups of countries, and there are associations that promote. An agenda on behalf of an entire group of countries, are so diametrically opposed, and this is not the case constantly members of the Security Council, it is in these countries that we cannot agree yet, we are saying that, of course, the Security Council in its current form does not reflect the realities, the balance of power that has developed on the planet today, and there is clearly a shortage of countries in the global south , first of all, africa , developed countries such as germany, japan, because of which, by the way, the organization itself was created, a permanent member of the Security Council, we reject, this does not add anything from the point of view, from the point of view of representativeness Security Council, developing countries, especially africa, asia, latin america, yes, new, new western countries, no, meetings of the Security Council are broadcast, many perceive this as the essence of work in the united nations, we are journalists who are here. Communicate, we communicate regularly, and this cannot be avoided in the council, it is simply impossible, both at the expert level and at the level of representatives, probably after 20, after february of the twentysecond year, especially at first, it was noticeable, especially among our anglosaxon partners, relations changed, because before that, despite all our disagreements in the council, they were always friendly, i spoke about this several times, but then they came to their senses, this required. The first is about an immediate ceasefire , the second is about the provision of humanitarian assistance, and the third, after 9 days , i demand from israel and from the parties to the conflict to immediately cease fire, because this requirement of the first resolution was not fulfilled, then it was possible, now, as you see, a lot has changed, of course, the geopolitical situation, new realities arise , new centers of power arise , new contradictions arise, this. Will always remain in the organization, but there is nothing to replace it, no one can invent another bicycle, it has already been invented, this is a universal organization, the members of which are, are practically all countries of the world, so the future in the future of an easy life for the un, of course, i do not promise, but it will remain, there is an itch for reform in the organization, especially, especially on the part of our western partners, because they would like. Discussion of the un topic, which do not enjoy consensus support , which are the priorities of these countries, this applies to both the social bloc and the economic bloc, human rights, of course, now negotiations are underway on the socalled pact of the future, which should be adopted at the summit, at the anniversary summit of the organization in the highlevel week of the next sessions of the General Assembly, difficult negotiations, because the future of the country and groups of countries see differently, what kind of future we will put into this document as a result, it will be very interesting to see.
