Think president putin alluded to this in a speech that is the strength of feeling and sheer joy on the sides both in russia and the cranial nerves. La marque while when were alone listening to present address in discussing of the highlights of his speech on this now we cannot talk to our correspondence whove been also listening in and watching this occasion. I believe we can talk to me or this cannot do. You nor hello there well its a chance to listen through what president was saying in a statement or upper house of parliament dont bring us the highlights well indeed this was the very detailed and comprehensive statement from the president has talked about ancient and recent history the deletions between russia and twenty and ukraine in the west making it absolutely clear how important claim year is to moscow and also on making it clear that moscow is fully aware also of the sort of consequences in that city too when it comes to its relations with the last president commented on the accusations saw that russia is violating International Law. In the grainy a saying that moscow has not exceeded twenty five thousand to win it. Caden has the support of the black sea and eighty three. It is also not talking about stuff and commented on the accusations about the recent events in saying that there is no example in the history of the military interventions in another country without a single shot fired on life we all remember these pieces said the attacks on yugoslavia iraq afghanistan and waited the eels to a mall police and the winston you or they say that we are finally seeing the norton said the festival. Its good that they remained that the team snatched a more sedate its sped away than ever. Crimea was used to call settlers the president. The twisted up the steps to the stresses and themselves with their own hands. I know in this situation which is going to be the same. Soon the situation carney and faith to recognize kosovo and they proved that she didnt actually need permission from central authorities to declare your country has suffered long the president is saying that costs a buck. I was an enormously important precedent which was greeted by the west and he said that what were seeing now the western approach to the situation in the crimea is not only double standards he called it a few work cynicism as saying that you can call one thing of black and then the next day cold the same thing y same time he stressed that russia is not so is not against nato it was to cooperate with nato but it does not want to see the notes the alliance light on its back door and he said that he hopes this position will be understood of by russias partners including those in the west of living person also spoke a lot about moscows relations with ukraine in fact the address tonight ukrainians directly saying that russia does not mean any harm to the summation of what he is saying that. Now is a consequence all floaty violence. We are in your forties came to power there by the un said that he sympathizes two goals the Peaceful Protesters fourteen for if rallies that in ukraine since im supporting says he understands why he needed this political change after so many years off of political turmoil but he said the un force only as a result of phone calls aside and neo nazis came to power who were sick and even negotiate with since even if they wanted to meet up with our ukrainian minister right now we need approval from gunmen up on my diet. It also will win executed at sea and on since nationalist and anti semites and seven. That is seuss was staring up into russian sentiments and the silk define the political stage show in ukraine. Many of the nice thing. What is the number is the supplying of people who claim to the official state to control the situation in the in country so we have no one to negotiate with their self control but the colts. See you visit someone in the mean distance. You kinda need to get permission from the gunmen. All told them id done. Each. The president also talked about how for all these years in russia to recognize the ukraine situ integrity and without any questions. Saw the grainy as part of ukraine but he said unfortunately the rights of ethnic russians believing there were millions of ethnic russians living in that region were violated including mine. Several new laws passed just be sitting by the new wellington government scheme of storms to bow in the inside talking about when the ants off of was it was and said that the referendum which has just taken place there in which over ninety six percent sell local population billboards to re unite with what he called it a truly at a historic event. Talked alot about the history. Between russia and twenty as saying that its one sort of thought has scored by the end to this post signs that said the pad thai she said that to save us all with in itself is a city legends with tremendous historic importance on and designs. And you would buy me new options as the russian city of hindu also looking to shed some light on the Political Class is that some are still had passed. If on the radio was to become part of the Russian Federation saying that to know all of. Peoples living there i mainly use of eft questions twenty and send to twenty and that the russians ukrainians rather than koreans are daughters of the wood wall. Share the same rights and going into the equal rights and that said there would be a police state languages russian ukrainian and tartare. Your sink is so much for bringing us out of the highlights of the present within the said statement made to the upper house of parliament regarding the situation in the crimea and now we havent missed a few marks the blog is for somebody maybe just doing this here on Rt International market we have been talking about prisons with the statement and get on it to sink in to get your reaction on two of what he was saying also how what happened today. This truly historic moment that both of us who witnessed here in the studio will be received elsewhere in the world look kind of reaction can you predict coming out of the west to what we just saw and heard. Of course the reaction from the west will be entirely negative they have already denounced the referendum and the craig meehan said that they will not recognize it. And they have recently initiated sanctions against members of the russian and the creamy in government structures. Um bought the west is not the world and the wider world will vary will have very different reactions towards this in his speech president putin up alluding to a word of thanks to the governments of the peoples republic of china and india for their understanding of china abstained during the Un Security Council vote. And as statements from the Indian Government it said that russia had legitimate interest in the ukraine. And i think this counter pose with the strong denunciations of the west and actions. Not only now but through the years that have led to the situation is a further indication that Russian Foreign policy will increasingly. Not of its own choice be moving further east and looking towards a more multi polar world. And moving itself away from the western or in what is going to say in effect asking you that you know what you do sending the present with unthinking china and india. I for one of your support. I mean does that signify a certain rush is moving eastward in his policies in economics as well and we look after. Sanctions imposed in russia and again threat of more sanctions and then isolating russia economically politically its address. As you sad. The west is not the whole world and theres also eastern partners that ever so how do you see relationships developing in the future. Ok well. Russia is any uncritically europes economies are at the moment extremely interdependence of in europe and the us hopes that european sanctions on wood how russia. Just surrender its interest in the ukraine and accepted bids which governments of russia realizing that any ad and european actions would also um now. For them as in weve seen recently resistance to sanctions against russia the European Business leaders and several governments. A week in the European Union then they are so independent of this point in that beanie and sanctions any kind of economic maneuvering would only hurt each other. In this way. Russian Foreign Policy it feels that its being held hostage at and which will flow with power in the world increasingly moving to asia to the east. I think this would be of very wise opportunity for russia to galvanize economic and popular sentiment. More uplifting line with putins earlier announced eating it right. In other words for this position in the east and look for more partnerships and alliances they are both economically and politically but then again you know la looking at the sanctions and a comedy or detrimental effect on the relationship between russia and the west and also the treaties that chua have been signing on looking at the difference of partnerships and trade with the euro and other things i mean look isnt all really worth it. Why is it that the west was prepared to sacrifice that. Wealth thats been extremely important question and he gets to the heart of the matter the Ukrainian Government and russia both repeatedly in the beginning of this crisis when in the eu was trying to force the ukraine to make what they call the civilization of choice enjoying this new Association Agreement on that night. Any possibility of tri lateral negotiations between the three parties i e when it was requested by the uk me repeatedly. They have that indicated a complete lack of desire. To accommodate that russias interests and the reflections of the economic realities on the ground of the importance of russia has by far the biggest trade partner with the ukraine. On this the a is a biggie mystique in european Foreign Policy and are starting to recognize its now i in fact there is over reportedly opened big disagreement even on sanctions where. European Union Members such as cyprus finland latvia and the pigs portugal italy greece and spain which of course are suffering economically very hardly themselves are reacting very negatively to the idea of harsh sanctions on russia because it would hurt their own economies. In any speech its actually walmarts here at this point that we have been discussing the agreement on task on crimea economies integration on to russia has been signed we saw we witness this historic moment here i will send her president and with making a statement to the upper house of Russian Parliament. Addressing the situation in ukraine crimea make very important key points theyre saying that russia does not one set of the breakup of the ukraine on and on. Just embracing different of very very important issues there. I will return to the studio to talk about the significance of what we just heard and the implications and whats up. What were the possible things that are likely to happen next but before that we can talk till course finally trc asking. Racing gambling as the mood and the atmosphere at where you are now whats happening there. Well like where im standing right now an essential of central for the capital friday me and the plot he hasnt started yet but people are gathering and considering that theyve been watching since sunday this is the referendum even though it was delightfully about whether russia would actually accept crimea as part of its territory theyve been celebrating and theres no doubt that they will be celebrating tonight again at will so seeing pictures coming from a set of stop it from delta from the cities in the south of the peninsula by the seaside people have been watching the address by president put into the Federations Council live on tv screens and already pretty much in celebration mode and other historic moment i can describe to you right now behind me the building of the Crimean Parliament and people are now taking down the left is off of the parliament which way on the walls ever since. Ukraine became a sovereign state in nineteen ninety one so this is pretty much history in the making as we see it he added to put into perspective also i want one five Million People who were eligible to vote in the referendum on sunday one point two Million People actually voted. But to be part of russia and as little as thirty two with thousands actually vote its to be part to remain as part of ukraine have actually struggled to meet baby crying its here in central clinical out war against the referendum. I did meet some of those tied to be on this but it was that it was a reader that the vast minority i would say the vast majority of the people here have been im really wanting to join our live rejoined once and for them its been Something Like we are going home that is the sentiment that the here and here in central and with such an expecting it to squash tonight he and several but just as every way across the peninsula. I liked very much up for bring us of the very latest in fact to have the mood in the atmosphere from su basketball right now we can look at other implications in fact what the sanctions have been doing. Russia has been suspended has been suspended from participating in g eight summits. According to the French Foreign minister in a senior official in moscow and the decision but said it would affect russias relations with Member States would not discuss this further away now respond fully legal. Well colleen as we chanced to see and hear the threat and this might happen it looks like it has and what more can you tell us where funds for and the French Foreign minister on friday is tweaked it and applied in that russia has indeed been suspended from participating in th mood swings and some mates to rebrand the point and he said that that would be an empty set a new thing this evening at without bob says that conclusion. Now thats nitpicking is still however invites me to see fronds in june along with all that today i did say was saying that there is the sacking of state for arms shipments of basic rights as well in the crime in using type of thing that has upgraded its business as usual the president russian president s press secretary center for the idea that one since russias Foreign Policy hasnt changed. But despite the varied contracts rights come from g seven nations in most state continues to whack with that farrakhan is in much the same way they did to the full but its true that the us and eu didnt see it that way they made it very clear that if russia was to recognize the crimean my friends and love and that would be repercussions indeed as talking about that right now. See there will be additional and far reaching consequence is inside the new executive order that expands the scope of our sanctions six matches against twenty one individuals disposal to either of the pages. In the future the jokes. This threat. He said. As a direct consequence of the toys that russia may abate not choose to make here. They are. So yesterday we had that would be asset freezes and travel bans for round twenty one calling me and and russian officials are links to the cranium referendum. A constant effective than sanctions will cure this Christmas Lights on and sat on the one hand we have days a year at us saying that that sanctions are cautioned not to add to that critique to threats when the other hand there theres politicians and Business Leaders in europe they say that in its current Economic Situation your sympathy card to fourteen in paddys cautious sanctions on russia to take and listened to the pan as foreign minister talking about an hour the blue spruce.

A genie that is impossible to conclude really alone and to global security. Linda prior to and from each country and juliet it turns out to the front and back. It was wonderful. When i watched myself determination. Doesnt stand up. Thank you. I dont think is so much for this and get up.
