00:00Now we have more information and we are moving on to other topics.
00:04Now we go live to Russia to broadcast live the latest statements of that Central Asian country top officials regarding the Donbass region.
00:11This is the breaking news.
00:13The decisions we are making about possible steps in this regard.
00:17Once again, I would like to underscore that Ukraine is not just a neighboring country to us.
00:23It is an inherent part of our own history, culture, spiritual space.
00:27They are our comrades, relatives, not only colleagues, friends, but also our family, people we have blood and family ties with.
00:44Since ancient times, people from ancient southwestern Russian lands were calling themselves Russians and Orthodox.
00:52That was not happening until 17th century when part of these territories rejoined the Russian Empire, the Russian state.
01:01And after that, it seems that we know all about this, that we are talking about facts that everyone knows.
01:09But at the same time, we need to have understanding what is happening today to explain motives and aims that Russia has.
01:18We need to say a couple of words about the history of this matter.
01:22I would like to start by saying that the modern Ukraine was completely created by Russia, to be more exact, by Bolshevist, Bolshevik-Communist Russia.
01:36This process has started almost immediately after the 1917 revolution.
01:40And Lenin and his supporters did it in a rough way, if we talk about Russia.
01:50They were alienating parts of historical territories of Russia.
01:56And millions of people who lived there, obviously, no one asked anything.
02:06Then, before the Great Patriotic War and Alfred, Stalin added to the USSR and handed over to Ukraine some lands that belonged to Poland and Hungary.
02:18And as a compensation, Stalin gave some ancient German lands to Poland.
02:27And in 1960s, Khrushchev decided to take Crimea away from Russia and also gave it to Ukraine.
02:33That's how the territory of the Soviet Ukraine was formed.
02:37But now I would like to draw your attention to the initial stages of the establishment of the USSR.
02:46I think it's of utmost importance for us because we have to start from afar.
02:51I would like to remind you that after the October revolution of 1917 and the civil war that followed Bolsheviks, started building a new state.
03:04And they had some differences among them.
03:06Stalin, who in 1922 was at the same time Secretary General of the Soviet Communist Party,
03:14and people, commissar on the merits of ethnicities, decided to build the country on the principles of autonomity,
03:23thus giving to the republics, to the future administrative units, wide authority, when they were supposed to join the state.
03:32Lenin criticized this plan, and he suggested to make concessions to the nationalists,
03:37the way he called them back then advocates of independence.
03:44Basically, that was idea about creating a confederation and give the right to every nation for self-determination.
03:52That was the basis of the Soviet state.
03:54First, in 1922, it was enshrined in the declaration on the establishment of the Soviet Union,
04:00and then, after the death of Lenin, it was also enshrined in the constitution of the USSR of 1924.
04:08And right away, here, we have a lot of questions.
04:11It's a lot of questions.
04:12And first of them, and the main question,
04:14why were they making all kinds of concessions to the nationalists at the outskirts of the former empire
04:26to give to the administrative units that were haphazardly formed huge territories,
04:35oftentimes that had nothing to do with them.
04:38And they were giving these territories with the population of historic Russia.
04:44And these administrative units were given status and shape of the state entities.
04:51And once again, this begs the question.
04:54Why did they have to do such generous gifts,
04:58even the most blatant nationalists couldn't dream of,
05:02and at the same time give the republic a right to withdraw from the new state without any preconditions?
05:10At first glance, it doesn't seem clear.
05:13It seems like madness, but only at first glance,
05:16because there is an explanation.
05:18After the revolution, the main goal Bolsheviks had was to keep power,
05:22to stay at power at any coast.
05:25And for this, they went to any length to sign humiliating conditions of the breast truce
05:35when the Kaiser's Germany were in the dire economic situation
05:40and the outcome of the World War I was already almost decided,
05:45and by giving any concessions to the nationalists inside the country.
05:49From the point of view of the historic destiny of Russia and its people,
05:54Lenin's principles of building the state weren't a mere mistake.
05:59That was much worse than a mere mistake.
06:03After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991,
06:06this has become absolutely obvious.
06:10Of course, what happened in the past cannot be changed,
06:14but at least we have to talk about it in an honest and direct way.
06:19Without any political agenda, without giving any political color to it.
06:24I can only add that the ideas of the current political realities,
06:30no matter how beneficial they might seem currently,
06:34under no circumstances cannot and should not be a basis of the building a state.
06:42I'm not blaming anyone, accusing anyone of anything.
06:46The situation in the country back then and after the civil war and before the civil war
06:51was incredibly difficult, was critical.
06:54And now I only can say that that's how it happened.
06:59That's a fact.
07:01That's a historical fact.
07:02And as a result of Bolshevik's policy, the Soviet Ukraine was created.
07:11And we have every reason to say now that it's Ukraine created by Vladimir Lenin.
07:19He is its creator and architect.
07:21And it's fully confirmed by the documents from the archives,
07:28also including the decrees, Lenin's decrees regarding Donbass that was added to Ukraine.
07:35And now, grateful, the sentence demolishing all the statues, all the monuments to Lenin.
07:41They call it decommunization.
07:45You want decommunization?
07:47Well, we are quite happy with that.
07:50But don't stop halfway.
07:53We are ready to show you what would mean actual decommunization for Ukraine.
07:58Coming back to the history of the matter, I would like to remind you that back in 1922,
08:07the territory of the former Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, was established.
08:14But the reality showed that keeping this territory and ruling this territory using the principles of confederation
08:24deems impossible because it had nothing to do neither with the realities nor with the historical tradition.
08:33And the red terror and switch to the Stalin's purges and the monopoly of the Communist Party,
08:40nationalization, planned economy, all that in reality was turned into a formality, nothing more.
08:49Principles that were declared but didn't actually work.
08:52In reality, the Soviet Republic had no sovereign rights, none.
08:59In practice, what was created, strictly centralized, unitarian in its character.
09:05A state that was centralized, Stalin implemented not Lenin's ideas, but his own ideas of how states should be built.
09:14But changes to the founding acts, to the Constitution, he didn't make any changes in this regard.
09:24Lenin's principles about building the Soviet Union were not reconsidered, technically.
09:31It seemed there was no need in this.
09:33Under totalitarian regime, authoritarian regime, everything worked well, and it looked nice from the outside.
09:39It looked more than democratic, even.
09:42But still, it's a shame.
09:45It's a shame that from the formal foundations our state was built on,
09:51they didn't clear out this audios, utopic, brought about by the revolution, but destructive fantasies.
09:59And in the future, how it often happened, no one thought about it.
10:06The leaders of the Communist Party seemed to be confident that they managed to build a strong governing system,
10:13that using this policy they managed to finally resolve the national issue.
10:18But replacing the notions, manipulating the public moods, could cause dearly.
10:28The infection of nationalism did not disappear.
10:31And that bomb that was undermining the state with this infection of nationalism was just waiting for its hour to come.
10:39Because once again, any republic had the right to withdraw from the USSR.
10:45In the middle of 1980s, against the background of raising problems,
10:52the crisis of the planned economy, the nationalist issue,
10:57that was caused not by some ideas of the Soviet peoples,
11:03but by growing appetites of the current leaders, was escalated.
11:08But the USSR leadership, instead of analyzing the situation and making thoughtful decisions in the economy
11:17and in the political system, in the governing system,
11:21they were only talking about restoring Lennon's principles, about national self-determination.
11:28More than that, inside the Communist Party there was a struggle for power,
11:33and each side wanting to expand its support started to encourage this nationalism.
11:43They were trying to play with it.
11:46They were promising anything to this nationalist.
11:49And when they talked about the democracy and bright future based either on the market economy or planned economy,
11:57but when in reality people were getting poorer and poorer and their deficit got stronger,
12:03no one from the authority was thinking about tragic consequences.
12:06And then they went down well through the path of satisfying the ambitions of nationalist elites
12:17that were raised inside the party.
12:20Because the Communist Party doesn't have these tools anymore, which is good.
12:24So they couldn't keep the power and they couldn't use such tools as dictatorship or purges.
12:32And even the governing role of the party was diluted like the folk in the morning in front of their eyes.
12:41And in September 1989, at the plenary session of the Communist Party,
12:46was made a fateful decision, the national policy of party, under current conditions.
12:54So that, these are the stipulations it had.
12:58Soviet republics have all the rights
13:00to exercise their status of the sovereign Soviet republics.
13:08And the highest governing bodies can stop any decrease and any loss of the Soviet government in their territories.
13:19And finally, every Soviet republic has its citizenship that is given to all its citizens.
13:30Wasn't it obvious what will be the outcome of such decrease?
13:35Now it is not the time and the place to talk about the constitutional right
13:39or give definition of what citizenship is.
13:43But still, it begs a question.
13:44Why?
13:46In those difficult conditions, they needed to make the situation even less stable.
13:53But the fact is still a fact.
13:56Two years before the Soviet Union collapsed, it was doomed.
14:00And now radicals and nationalists, including, and first of all, in Ukraine,
14:06they take the merit of winning independence.
14:10But we can see that that's not the truth.
14:14What happened to our country was caused by the mistakes done by the leadership of the Communist Party,
14:21made at different stages and at different times in their national and economical policies.
14:27Because the collapse of historical Russia, named the USSR, was brought about by them.
14:35And despite all this, despite stealing from the people,
14:40our people agreed to the new realities that were brought about by the collapse of the USSR.
14:46They recognized new states, new republics, not only recognized.
14:52Back then, Russia was in dire situation, but it tried to help its partners from the CIS,
14:58including Ukrainian partners, because starting from the moment of proclaiming independence,
15:03they started making requests for material support.
15:06And our country was giving this support with respect to the sovereignty of Ukraine.
15:13According to the estimates of the experts,
15:16that can be proved just by looking at the prices of our energy carriers,
15:21by our loans, our trade preferences that Russia was giving to Ukraine,
15:26the total profit for the Ukrainian budget since 1991 to 2013
15:31was about 250 billion dollars.
15:36But that's not all of it.
15:39By the end of 1991,
15:41the debt of the USSR
15:43in front of other states
15:47and international fund was about 100 billion.
15:50And initially, it was
15:52thought that
15:54these debts would be paid out
15:56by all the republics of the USSR
15:57in proportionate terms,
16:00in proportion with their economic potential.
16:02But Russia took the burden
16:04of paying out the entire Soviet debt
16:06and paid it out eventually.
16:10And we completed this process in 2017.
16:20And the other Soviet republics
16:22had to renounce from the Soviet assets.
16:24And this, such agreement
16:27was signed
16:28in late 1994
16:30with Ukraine.
16:32But Kyiv didn't ratify
16:33this agreement.
16:34And later,
16:35they refused
16:36to implement it.
16:38They were talking about
16:40golden reserves
16:40and about
16:41all kinds of assets
16:43of the former Soviet Union abroad.
16:45And still,
16:46despite the known problems,
16:49Russia has always cooperated
16:51and worked with Ukraine
16:53in an open and honest manner
16:55with respect
16:56to its interests,
16:57our ties
16:58in all kinds of areas
17:00were developing.
17:02So,
17:02in 2011,
17:04the trade turnover
17:05was more than
17:0650 billion dollars.
17:08And allow me to mention
17:10that the trade turnover
17:11of Ukraine
17:12with all the EU
17:13countries in 2019
17:15before the pandemic
17:16was smaller than that.
17:17And at the same time,
17:19it was not as well
17:20that the Ukrainian authorities
17:21preferred
17:22to act in such a way
17:23that
17:24to have all the rights
17:26and preferences
17:26in the relations with Russia
17:28but to carry no obligations
17:29at the same time,
17:30assuming no obligations.
17:32So,
17:33it wasn't really a partnership.
17:35They were just trying
17:36to get more from Russia.
17:37And sometimes
17:38it was,
17:39it looked
17:40unshriemoniously.
17:41for example,
17:43remember the blackmailing
17:45in the
17:45gas transit,
17:47stealing gas even.
17:49I would like to
17:50remind you
17:51that they were trying
17:52to use dialogue
17:52with Russia
17:53as a tool
17:54to blackmail the West.
17:56They said
17:57that they were,
17:58well,
17:58would get closer
17:59to Russia,
18:00trying to win preferences.
18:03They were saying
18:03that
18:03if not,
18:06the Russian presence
18:07in Ukraine
18:07will grow.
18:08And from the very first
18:10steps,
18:10they started
18:11building their statehood
18:12by renouncing everything
18:14that was bringing us together.
18:16They were trying
18:17to twist
18:18the historical memory
18:20of the generations
18:21of people
18:22who lived in Ukraine.
18:23So,
18:23it comes as no surprise
18:24that the Ukrainian
18:25society faced
18:27the growth
18:28of the radical
18:29nationalism
18:30that became
18:33russophobic
18:34and nationalist.
18:36That's why
18:37there are no
18:38nazism
18:39and joining gangs
18:41in eastern Ukraine.
18:44The territorial claims
18:45against Russia
18:45were voiced
18:46more often
18:48and the outer forces
18:50were also
18:52using their special
18:53services
18:54to raise
18:56their people
18:58in Ukraine
18:58and to move them
18:59into power
19:00into the government.
19:02Ukraine has never
19:03had stable traditions
19:04of their own statehood.
19:06starting from 1991
19:07they followed
19:08the path
19:08of the mechanical
19:09copying
19:11of foreign models
19:13that had nothing
19:13to do
19:14with their history
19:15or with the Ukrainian realities.
19:17Political
19:18and state institutions
19:19were changed
19:20to benefit
19:23the clans
19:24with their own
19:25interests
19:25that had nothing
19:26to do
19:27with the interests
19:27of the people
19:28of Ukraine.
19:29The whole idea
19:30of the so-called
19:31pro-Western
19:32civilizational choice
19:34of the Ukrainian
19:35democratic power
19:36was and is still
19:38not in creating
19:39better conditions
19:40for the good
19:41of the people
19:42but to serve
19:46the geopolitical
19:48adversaries
19:48of Russia
19:49to save
19:50billions of dollars
19:51they stole
19:51from the Ukrainians
19:52and hidden
19:53by oligarchs
19:54on the accounts
19:55in Western banks.
19:57Some financial
19:58groups
19:59paid politicians
20:02first
20:03they based
20:03on radicals
20:04and nationalists
20:05others
20:05they were saying
20:06for good friendly
20:07relations
20:08with Russia
20:08for cultural
20:09and language
20:11versatility
20:12and they were
20:14coming to power
20:14using the votes
20:16of the people
20:16who really wanted
20:17to see it happen
20:19including the people
20:19from the Southwest
20:20but after they were
20:22assuming office
20:23of forgetting
20:23high positions
20:24they were betraying
20:26their people
20:27who elected them
20:28their voters
20:28and they followed
20:30the times
20:31they were even
20:32punishing people
20:36who wanted
20:37to cooperate
20:37with Russia
20:38who wanted
20:38to keep
20:39both languages
20:40viable
20:40and those people
20:41who supported
20:42them
20:42of moderate views
20:44who are used
20:45to trust
20:46the power
20:46unlike radicals
20:47they would never
20:48be aggressive
20:49to use
20:49unlawful means
20:50but radicals
20:54were becoming
20:54more and more
20:55brazen
20:55their claims
20:57were becoming
20:58bigger and bigger
20:59so they had
21:00no problem
21:00to
21:01influence
21:04the weak power
21:05that was
21:06weakened
21:07by the virus
21:08of corruption
21:09and they were
21:10replacing

21:24in Ukraine
21:25and political
21:28electoral procedures
21:29served just
21:30as a screen
21:31to divide power
21:35and assets
21:36between
21:36oligarch plans
21:38corruption
21:39that is a problem

23:45them
23:45brought
23:48the situation
23:48to the
23:49deadlock
23:50they pushed
23:51Ukraine
23:51into the
23:52chasm
23:53of civil
23:54war
23:54and
23:55eight years
23:56later
23:57the country
23:58is divided
23:58it's going
23:59through
23:59dire
24:00economical
24:00crisis
24:01according
24:01to the
24:01estimates
24:02of
24:02international
24:02organization
24:03organizations
24:04in 2018
24:06almost
24:066 million
24:07Ukrainians
24:08which is
24:09almost
24:0915%
24:11not
24:11of the
24:12able
24:12population
24:14but
24:14of the
24:15entire
24:15population
24:15had to
24:16move
24:17abroad
24:17looking
24:17for
24:18jobs
24:18and
24:21as a rule
24:21they were
24:22doing
24:23some
24:24basic
24:24work
24:25and
24:25qualified
24:25work
24:26and
24:27here
24:27is
24:27another
24:28fact
24:28starting
24:292020
24:3260,000
24:33doctors
24:34and other
24:35medical

24:38the

24:41increased
24:41by almost
24:41one-third
24:42energy
24:43prices
24:43increased
24:44manifold
24:46many people
24:47have no
24:48money
24:49to pay
24:49for the
24:50utility bills
24:51they have to
24:52survive
24:52literally
24:53what happened
24:54why all this
24:55is happening
24:56the answer
24:57is obvious
24:58because
24:58things that they
25:02inherited
25:02from the
25:03Soviet Union
25:04from the
25:04Russian Empire
25:05was
25:06literally
25:07stolen
25:08hidden in
25:08pockets
25:09hundreds
25:10hundreds
25:11of jobs
25:12were lost
25:13that were
25:14giving stable
25:15income to the
25:15people with the
25:16participation of the
25:17Russian Federation
25:18such areas as
25:20machine
25:20engineering
25:21power
25:22industry
25:23plane
25:25aircraft
25:26manufacturing
25:27they are
25:28either
25:29in crisis
25:30or destroyed
25:31and the
25:31entire Soviet Union
25:32used to be proud
25:33of these industries
25:34in 2021
25:36the
25:38shipbuilding factory
25:40in Nikolay
25:41was

25:50Yuzhmash
25:50factory
25:51that was
25:52building
25:52a space
25:53great
25:54machinery
25:55they are
25:56almost
25:56bankrupt
25:57same like
25:58the
25:58Kramanchuk
25:59steel factory
26:01as for the
26:02gas
26:03transport
26:04system
26:04that was
26:05built
26:05by the
26:05entire
26:05Soviet Union
26:06it has
26:07become
26:07so
26:07dilapidated
26:08that
26:09using it
26:11as a lot
26:12of risks
26:12and in this
26:13regard
26:13we have
26:14a question
26:14this poverty
26:15loss of
26:16the industrial
26:17and technological
26:18potential
26:19is that
26:21the choice
26:21the pro-Western
26:23choice
26:23that
26:24was put
26:26into the
26:26heads
26:26of the
26:27people
26:27for years
26:28now
26:28is that
26:29it
26:29in reality
26:30everything
26:31comes down
26:32to the
26:32fact
26:32that
26:33the
26:33collapse
26:33of the
26:33Ukrainian
26:34economy
26:34goes
26:35along
26:35with
26:36robbing
26:37the Ukrainian
26:37people
26:38and
26:38Ukraine
26:39itself
26:39is now
26:40being
26:40controlled
26:41from the
26:41outside
26:42it is
26:42perpetrated
26:43not only
26:43by the
26:44instructions
26:45from
26:45the West
26:46but also
26:47locally
26:48by a network
26:49of foreign

40:46insisted
40:46on increasing
40:47potential
40:48of
40:48collective
40:48security
40:49that was
40:50supposed to be
40:50deployed against Russia
40:51first of all
40:52and it was happening
40:53back in the 1990s and early 2000s
40:56when because of the openness and goodwill
40:59our goodwill relations between Russia and the west were at high level
41:05Russia fulfilled all its obligations we threw troops from Germany from the central
41:14and eastern european countries and it made a huge contribution in overcoming
41:18the legacy of the cold war we consistently suggested all kinds of cooperation including
41:24in the format of the russian nato council and osc more than that i will say
41:30one thing that i have never said before in public i will say it for the first time
41:37back in 2000 when president bill clinton was visiting moscow at the end of his term
41:43i asked him how would america see russia joining nato i would not give you all the
41:52details of that conversation but the reaction to my conversation looked well resort let me put it
41:59this way and how did americans really look at this possibility you can see it in their
42:07practical steps in regard of our country open support of the terrorists and north caucasus
42:15ignoring our demands and our concerns in the security area withdrawing from the treaties arms
42:23treaties and so on and so forth it still backs the question why why did they do that what
42:29for okay you don't want to see friend in us and ally in us but why do you want to make an enemy
42:37out of us the only answer that we got was it's not about our political regime or anything else it's just
42:44they don't need such a big and independent country as russia so that's the answer to all the question
42:52that's the source of traditional american policy they pursue in the russian track that's why they
42:59react like this to all our proposals about security you only need to look at the map to see how did the
43:07western countries keep their word about non-expansion of nato eastwards they just lied to us we had five
43:15waves of nato expansion in 1999 poland czech republic hungary were joint nato in 2004 bulgaria estonia lithuania
43:25slovakia romania and slovenia in 2009 albania and croatia in 2017 montenegro and 2020 north macedonia
43:36as a result the alliance military infrastructure is drawn really close to the borders of russia that's
43:44one of the reasons of the key reasons of the security crisis it affected the entire system of
43:51international relations the mutual trust was lost the situation continues to get worse in strategic
43:59area as well in romania and in poland as part of the u.s project they deploy anti-missile defensive systems
44:09we all know that the launchers deployed there can be used for cruise missiles tomahawk that is a
44:17strike weapon strike system and usa is also developing standard six missile it can not only be used as
44:26an anti-missile defensive too it can strike targets on land and on the sea so they are expanding their
44:37infrastructure and they get new offensive capabilities from the information that we
44:41get we have every reason to believe that further deploying the sites the facilities of north atlantic
44:49treaty organization this decision has already been made that's just a matter of time we understand
44:55clearly that under this scenario the level of military threat for russia will be increased manifold
45:02i would like to draw your attention once again that there will be a bigger threat of immediate attack
45:09against our country in american strategic documents their doctrine there is such a possibility of preventive
45:19work against the missile complexes of the adversary and who is the main adversary of the united states
45:25we all know that russia in nato documents our country is officially directly called a main threat
45:34to the north atlantic security and ukraine will serve as the platform for such an offense if our ancestors
45:45heard about that they would probably thought that it's impossible we don't want to believe that either
45:50but that's how it is now i want people from russia and ukraine to understand that many ukrainians
46:00airfield are positioned close to our borders and strategic native airplanes using high precision weapons
46:10can strike targets and like a grad samar and kazan and astrahan using reconnaissance tool will allow
46:17not to control the airspace of russia up until the urals and finally after the u.s withdrew from the inf treaty
46:26the pentagon has openly started developing a whole range of the land-based missiles with a range of 5500
46:39kilometers if such systems are deployed in ukraine they can hit the targets in the european russia and also
46:45behind the european russia and the travel time of the tomahawk missiles to moscow will be less than 35
46:53minutes ballistic missiles seven eight minutes and the hypersound offensive weapons four five minutes
47:03that's like having a knife against our throat and i have no doubt they plan to implement these ideas
47:10and as it has been done previously when they expanded nato to the east moving infrastructure military
47:19infrastructure closer to our borders ignoring our protests and our warnings they just didn't care about
47:28that they did whatever they deemed necessary and appropriate and i believe they plan to continue
47:34doing like that because they see us as a dog barking at the caravan we have never agreed to that and we
47:44never will russia was always standing for resolving the most difficult issues at the negotiating table
47:52diplomatically we understand our response responsibility for global stability back in 2008 russia has come up with
48:01an initiative on signing an agreement about european security and its idea was just was that no state no
48:09international organization and european atlantic could not enhance its security at the expense of security
48:15fathers but our suggestion was refuted from the get-go because we can't allow russia to limit the activities of
48:26nato we were told that legally binding guarantees of security only nato members can have such
48:35guarantees and last december we have sent our partners the draft document about security guarantees
48:45and also the draft agreement on the measures of enhancing russian security and nato member security
48:53in response nato members and the us were saying a lot of words there was some reasonable ideas but they
49:00were talking only about secondary things and it looked as an attempt to bring this discussion away
49:07from the main point and we reacted in kind i would like to emphasize that we are ready to negotiate but
49:14only on the condition that all matters will be considered as a package in complex without going away
49:20from the main proposals made by russia and those have three main items firstly non-expansion of nato to
49:29the east non-deployment of offensive weapons next to the russian borders and finally bringing back the
49:38military infrastructure back to the consideration of 1997 when the founding act was signed between russian
49:46nato these principle proposals were ignored our western partners once again they were saying same old words
50:02that every state has freedom to choose ways to enhance its security to provide its security to join any
50:09military alliances so nothing changed in their position they talk about the same open doors policy more than
50:19that once again they tried to blackmail us once again they threaten us with sanctions and i think they
50:27will still impose those introduce those as strong and as more powerful our country becomes
50:34we will always find an excuse to introduce more sanctions regardless of the situation in ukraine that
50:44is the only goal they have is to contain the development of russia and they will do that like they did it
50:50before without any formal excuse only because we exist and we will never concede our sovereignty or national
51:03interest and our values and i want to be frank in the current situation when our proposals about
51:10equitable dialogue about principle matters had no response from the us and nato when the level of
51:16threat for our country is becoming greater and greater russia has every right to take countermeasures to
51:24enhance our own security and that's how we plan to act
51:28as for situation in donbass we can see that the kiev elite keeps stating publicly about lack of willingness to
51:41implement the minsk agreements to settle the conflict they are not interested in peaceful resolution vice versa
51:48they want to start blitzkrieg like it happened back in 2014 and 2015 and you remember what those how it ended
52:01now almost every day they are shelling settlements in donpes they have amassed large troops they're using
52:09offensive unmanned vehicles and other heavy machinery torturing people children women elderly people it
52:23doesn't stop it doesn't cease we see no end to it and the so-called civilized world
52:29and our western colleagues proclaim themselves as the only representatives of this free world they
52:42prefer not to notice this as if there is nothing like this happening there is no genocide perpetuated
52:48against 14 million people and the only reason is that these people didn't want to back the coup d'etat
52:55in 2014 they stood against the nationalist movement the movement towards nationalism stone age nationalism
53:10and nazism and they want to defend their basic rights to live on their land to speak their native
53:16language to preserve their traditions and their culture how much longer that could go on how much longer
53:25can they bear it russia did everything it could to keep the territorial integrity of ukraine we tried
53:34hard to implement the resolution of the security council of u.n 2202 that endorsed the minsk agreements on
53:44resolving the situation in donbass but everything was done in vain the presidents are changing the
53:50parliament members are changing but the idea of the aggressive regime is still the same regime that
53:57seized the power in kiev it was created by the coup d'etat of 2014 and those who chose the way of
54:10violence they admit they see no other way to resolve the donbass crisis other than the military way in this
54:17regard i deem it necessary to make a decision that should have been made a long time ago to immediately
54:24recognize the independence and sovereignty of donna's people's republic and lougansk people's republic
54:31and i would like to in request the federal assembly to support to back this decision and ratify
54:39the agreement of friendship and mutual help with both republics we will draft this document and sign these
54:46documents in the near future and those who seize the power and keep the power in kiev we demand to stop
54:56hostilities immediately otherwise all the responsibility for the possible continuation of the black bath will
55:05be on the consciousness of the regime that is ruling in kiev by declaring these decisions i'm confident that
55:14i will have support of the people of russia all the patriotic forces of russia thank you for your attention
55:20all right there we are with the russian president of darame putin they're giving us
55:23all right there and i will say what was
