00:00Several times, our French colleagues addressed us via restricted channels, secure channels,
00:10offering help and establishing dialogue on the Ukrainian matter without Ukrainian participation,
00:17violating the much-doubted principle of the West, not a single word about Ukraine without
00:26Ukraine.
00:27Well, we are ready to pursue context, we are ready to listen to what they have to say,
00:34but at the same time, France has been the main champion of sending so-called peacekeeping
00:44troops to Ukraine, and they have been training Ukrainian troops on their soil, and they keep
00:51saying in public that Russia should be hit further, and Ukraine should have stronger
01:02positions when talks begin, so you know it's very ambiguous, and we don't have thus a desire
01:13to take our French colleagues' initiatives in earnest.
01:17To a large extent, Europe also has fallen prey to the policy of the United States to
01:24eliminate all sorts of competitors.
01:27Joseph Borrell, that stepped down recently as the EU foreign policy representative, has
01:40recently stated after his stepping down that the West has not been able to isolate Russia,
01:50now he's not bound by the official obligations, and the EU promised to protect Kiev for as
01:57long as it took, but nothing is endless, and he also said that China has substituted Europe
02:05and G7 in a trade with Russia, we're open for any talks, if the talks are on the merits
02:13of which are the root causes and the principles that President Putin has mentioned in June
02:21this year, speaking here on the premises of the foreign ministry, and these are no preconditions,
02:29I emphasize that these are the requirements to deliver what has been subscribed when we
02:38approved the UN Charter.
02:40The Minsk Accords were not an attempt, but a decision of the UN Security Council that
02:46was trampled upon with the connivance of the United States, and Mr. Poroshenko, then President
02:53of Ukraine, signed it, and the former Presidents and leaders of Germany and France, Holland
03:00and Merkel signed it, and they confessed a couple of years ago they were not going to
03:04deliver upon the Minsk arrangements, just they played for time to pump Ukraine with
03:11arms, and now all those ideas in the air that are much less binding than the Minsk set of
03:19measures pursue a similar goal of playing for time for that Nazi.
03:25How can the Nazi regime in Kyiv represent the Crimeans, the residents of Novorossiysk,
03:32Donbass, etc., that were proclaimed terrorists right after the coup d'etat and a military
03:39reprisal operation was launched against them?
