00:00You have said, talked a lot about security guarantees, and now we've seen your proposals.

00:05You also say you have no intention of invading Ukraine.

00:08So will you guarantee unconditionally that you will not invade Ukraine or any other sovereign country?

00:14Or does that depend on how negotiations go?

00:18And another question, what is it do you think that the West does not understand about Russia or about your intentions?

00:26Speaking of the security guarantees and what it will depend upon, or if something will depend upon the negotiations,

00:39our actions will not depend on the negotiation.

00:41They will depend on the unconditional compliance with the Russian security demands today and in the historical context.

00:49In this sense, we have made it clear that any further NATO movement to the East is unacceptable.

00:56There is nothing unclear about this.

00:58We are not deploying our missiles over at the borders of the U.S.

01:03No.

01:03On the other hand, the U.S. is deploying its missiles close to our home, on the porch of our house.

01:12So are we demanding something excessive?

01:16We're simply asking them not to deploy their attack systems over at our home.

01:20What is so unusual or peculiar about that?

01:24So what would the Americans think if we, for example, decided to come to the border between, say, Canada and the United States or Mexico

01:36and simply deploy our missiles over there?

01:39Well, did Mexico and the U.S. never have any territorial disputes?

01:46What about California?

01:47What about Texas?

01:48Did you forget about that?

01:50But everything seems to have come down.

01:52Nobody remembers those things just like the way they remember about Crimea.

01:57We try not to remember the situation in Ukraine.

02:02Who created that?

02:03Who started the crisis?

02:04Was it Lenin?

02:08Yes.

02:08When he declared the Soviet Union in 1922 and then the Constitution of 1924 following his death,

02:16was following the principles of Lenin.

02:20This is a matter of security, not just history.

02:24This is about security.

02:26It is not the negotiations that matter.

02:28It is the outcome, the result.

02:30I've reiterated this many times, and you're well aware that we said not an inch to the east.

02:40That was the NATO guarantee in 1990.

02:43So what became of that?

02:45They fooled us.

02:50We've seen five waves of NATO expansion.

02:54Now they're in Romania and in Poland,

02:56and they're deploying the relevant attack systems over there.

03:00That's what we're talking about.

03:02You should finally understand.

03:03We're not threatening anyone.

03:05We did not come to the U.S. borders or to the U.K. borders.

03:09No.

03:10They came to our borders,

03:12and now they're saying that Ukraine will also join NATO,

03:14and they will deploy their systems there.

03:16Or not just NATO.

03:18They will simply deploy it on a bilateral basis.

03:21They will deploy their military bases and their attack systems.

03:23That's what we're talking about.

03:26And you keep demanding some guarantees from us.

03:29You must give us the guarantees.

03:31It is up to you,

03:32and you must do this immediately, right now,

03:35instead of keep talking about this for decades.

03:39And use this small talk and soft talk

03:42about the need for guarantees of security for everyone.

03:46This is exactly what we mean.

03:48We are not threatening anybody.

03:50And now to the second part of your question.

03:55Could you repeat that, please?

03:57What is it that you think that the West does not understand about Russia

04:00or about your intentions?

04:03Ah, yes, exactly.

04:05Well, you know, what you understand or what you don't understand,

04:10sometimes it seems to me that we live in two different worlds.

04:13I was speaking about very obvious things.

04:16How can you not understand that?

04:18You say you will not expand, and then you keep expanding.

04:21You say we will have equal guarantees for everyone

04:24on the number of international agreements.

04:28And then we see there is no equality or no equal security.

04:33See, here's the thing.

04:35Back in 1918, one of the assistants of Woodrow Wilson,

04:41the U.S. president, said that the whole world

04:46would feel calmer and safer if today's enormous Russia

04:53would be replaced with the states of Siberia

04:57and four more states in the European part of Russia.

05:03That was set in 1918.

05:06And in 1991, we separated into 12 separate parts.

05:11It seems to me that our partners were not satisfied with that.

05:15They think that Russia is a tad too large.

05:17Even the European countries have turned themselves

05:20into a union of states.

05:22They are quite small states with populations

05:26of 60 to 80 million people.

05:29But even after the dissolution of the Soviet Union,

05:31we only had 146 million people,

05:35and that is too much for the West.

05:37I think that is the only explanation

05:39for their constant pressure against us.

05:41Back in the 1990s, the Soviet Union did everything it could

05:46to build normal relations with the West,

05:48with the United States.

05:49I will keep saying this, and I will repeat

05:52for your viewers and listeners out there

05:55from the media that you represent.

05:57I didn't quite get that, but that doesn't matter.

06:01Our nuclear sites, our military nuclear sites

06:06had experts from the U.S. intelligence authorities.

06:11They were going there.

06:13It was their job to visit the Russian military nuclear sites.

06:17They spent their whole days over there,

06:19and the Russian government had advices from the CIA working inside of it.

06:25What else did you need?

06:27Why did you have to support the terrorists in Northern Caucasus

06:30and use the terrorist organizations to reach your goals

06:36and break down the Russian Federation?

06:39This was exactly what you were doing,

06:41and as a former director of the FSB, I know that.

06:44We were working with the double agents,

06:47and they were reporting to us on the tasks

06:49of the Western intelligence agencies.

06:51Why did you have to do that?

06:53You should have done something different.

06:56Perhaps treat Russia as a possible ally and strengthen trust.

06:59But no.

07:00Instead, you tried to keep breaking us up,

07:03and then you started the NATO expansion to the east.

07:06We were saying, don't do that.

07:07You had promised you wouldn't,

07:09and they say, where is it put in written form?

07:12Nowhere.

07:13Well, then laugh off,

07:14and we don't care about your concerns.

07:17And every time we kept responding

07:21and trying to make obstacles,

07:22we were expressing our concerns about that.

07:25But they say, no.

07:28You can do whatever you want about your concerns.

07:32We will do whatever we need.

07:33One, two, three, four, five.

07:36We witnessed five waves of NATO expansion.

07:40Why can't they understand?

07:42What is unclear?

07:43I believe everything is clear.

07:45We are thinking about our own security.
