Russian President Vladimir Putin said he hopes the conflict in Ukraine will end “the sooner, the better,” but stressed it can only happen once the objectives of Russia’s “special military operation” are fulfilled. Speaking during his visit to Kyrgyzstan, Putin discussed sanctions, Russia’s economic pivot toward Asia, relations with the EU, and long-term cooperation with Kyrgyzstan in energy, education, migration, and high-tech sectors. He added that Russia is open to renewed economic engagement with Europe “if they decide to return,” but only under current economic realities.
00:00Russia and Kyrgyzstan in less, but also very ощутимо for our economy, made the sanctions on the West.
00:07How do you think, Russia and Kyrgyzstan can be united together with the opposition to the sanctions?
00:15Well, if there are any issues against someone, then, of course, those against whom they are looking for some problems,
00:23they are looking for decisions.
00:27And this, of course, they are united.
00:30But the deal is not in this, in my opinion.
00:32The deal is that Russia and Kyrgyzstan are united in a different way.
00:37And even not in our regional organizations, such as the DKB or the EUROZES.
00:47The deal is that the Soviet Union has given us things that are not coming.
00:55This relationship between people, this relationship between people, this relationship between each other, this relationship between each other, this language.
01:07I have to say many times, and I want to say that we have a lot of respect to the decisions that were made in Kyrgyzstan as a Russian language.
01:17We have a lot of respect to the policy of the government.
01:20We have a lot of respect to the government in Kyrgyzstan.
01:24We have a lot of respect to the government in Kyrgyzstan.
01:27We have a lot of respect to the President of Kyrgyzstan.
01:31We have a lot of respect to the new schools.
01:34We have a lot of respect to our teachers.
01:36We have a lot of respect to the people who have been raised in Kyrgyzstan.
01:43We have a lot of respect to the students.
01:46We are very excited to see that all these areas in the humanitarian-related, education and culture will continue.
01:55This creates a basis for us to move forward and move forward.
01:59There are issues about the human rights and other areas, they are well known, this is an immigration issue.
02:06We need to make sure that our citizens were in order to be in order for us to be in order for us to be in distress.
02:16But for this, the citizens of Kyrgyzstan, who wanted to work with us,
02:22would also be ready to live in Russian, to use social guarantees and so on.
02:30This requires a constant, constant work.
02:36We need to take care of the consequences,
02:40to use the advantages that we have made from the past,
02:44which we can now set up.
02:47We need to take care of the economic cooperation.
02:51We need to take care of new opportunities.
02:54I mean, work in high-tech areas.
02:57I just spoke with the representatives of our press.
03:01We need to take care of the company Yandex.
03:04It's not only delivery of food or taxi.
03:07It's also development of artificial intelligence.
03:10And this is the future of Kyrgyzstan, but also Russia and all this post-savet space.
03:18And all the world.
03:19So, I don't talk about traditional energy,
03:23where Kyrgyzstan gets from Russia oil and gas,
03:27which is the most minimal price.
03:30And for the community, for the citizens of Kyrgyzstan,
03:34for the people of Kyrgyzstan, for the people of Kyrgyzstan,
03:36for the people of Kyrgyzstan,
03:37for the people of Kyrgyzstan,
03:38they create a good and competitive environment.
03:41We have, in fact, a lot of cooperation.
03:47Well, of course, if something happens,
03:48we think about the issue of minimizing these restrictions.
03:55But, on this even,
03:58we think about the future, about the future, about the future.
04:03In Russia, in recent years, they say that Russian economy
04:08makes an invasion of the West.
04:10Indeed, the war with the countries of Asia,
04:12in particular, with Kyrgyzstan,
04:14but soon after the conflict in Ukraine will end.
04:17Is it possible again the invasion of Russian economy
04:21in the US in case of the end of the United States?
04:24Well, I also hope that the conflict in Ukraine will end.
04:28You said, early or late.
04:30The sooner, the sooner, the better.
04:32Well, during the conditions of our goal,
04:34for the purpose of the special military operations.
04:36But, the case is not in that we, in the case of Ukraine,
04:42we have a strategic invasion of a strategic invasion.
04:45Well, starting from 2000,
04:48I've already talked about this many times,
04:51and I've said that we really started to work on this side,
04:54on this side of our cooperation,
04:55we have to pay attention to our cooperation.
04:57It's not because we have any problems
04:59with our European partners.
05:01No, it's because the economy of the West and the Gulf of the East
05:06is developing more times than the economy of the West.
05:12The time of the West is just here,
05:15and not in the European part of our continent.
05:21It was a natural change.
05:24We didn't stop it, we just saw.
05:28We started to buy our products,
05:31and we started to buy more products.
05:33In the same time, in the same time,
05:35in the National Republic,
05:37began to appear such products,
05:40which became more competitive than European countries.
05:44The last example is the electric vehicles.
05:48They do better and cheaper than European countries.
05:52And in the European countries,
05:54all this is not because of the Ukraine,
06:00but by the way,
06:03the economy of the Asian countries
06:08and the economy of the European countries.
06:12This is what happens.
06:14Yes, this is not very fast,
06:16but this trend is growing in this problem.
06:20And we have to consider it.
06:22Well, after the beginning of the event in Ukraine,
06:24the European countries themselves started to get out of us.
06:28Well, I mean,
06:30we have to find some important results in our history.
06:35It is clear that the critics of the European countries
06:36know that the military forces are not going to do better,
06:38and the economy of Germany is falling into rather than the European countries.
06:40Well,
06:42that's what I can say.
06:43If they decide to return, please, we are not against, we are open to everyone, we are ready to work with each other.
06:50But, of course, with the reality that we have in this moment, many niches on our market are, first of all, Russian manufacturers, Russian manufacturers, and some of the countries of the S&G, of the EURO-ZEVS, and of course, we do nothing to do with these partners.
07:20But, of course, the dialogue is ready to be with all of them.
07:22This is your second international visit to Kyrgyzstan.
07:26He has a special status, a special status, on this is the list of agreements, which were made by the end.
07:33And then, how did you meet Kyrgyzstan?
07:36It is the most beautiful and interesting, which is the rich culture of the country.
07:43In this case, how did you characterize your work-based relationship with Kyrgyzstan?
07:48We have a friendly relationship, without any importance.
07:52We have a strong partner, and a strong friend.
07:57As for the protocols, I always have a very strong relationship.
08:04But, time and time, it is necessary to emphasize our national national association.
