00:00It's quite otherwise in Zaporozhye where there's the NPP and where the Ukrainian armed forces are constantly carrying out strikes
00:08next to the station in the proximity and there was a recent strike, I think they lost their minds, they
00:15struck against the energy unit, but luckily there's been no consequences.
00:20It has been shut down but it was not damaged and yet the situation is very, very dangerous because there's
00:28spent nuclear fuel and should the vessels carrying them be damaged?
00:33A very big question begs itself whether wind is going to blow and there's no guarantees that it's going to
00:38blow in the Russian direction, probably it's going to blow in the European direction.
00:44So the Europeans that are condoning the actions of the Kiev regime should think about their own safety.
00:51Incidentally, quite unambiguously, unequivocally, this was mentioned by the head of the IAEA, Mr. Grossi, this is what he said.

01:53Incidentally, quite unambiguously, unequivocally, this was mentioned by the head of the IAEA, Mr. Grossi, this is what he said.
02:02So as for difficulties related to the sanctions in certain spheres, yes, we see that.
02:10But at the same time, it helped us to develop our own competencies.
02:16The same can be said about our European partners.
02:21For example, gas branches here, they keep working with them and our partners who were developing rapidly.
02:34If now they are leaving the market, then of course they come across difficulties and they are not happy about
02:42it.
02:43Under the blanket, they say bad words about their governments but they had to reconcile.
02:49So we now, they lost the Russian market but we have increased our competencies because now we have both the
02:59national reserves and the technologies.
03:02So we see this is a very short-sighted policy for some of our partners.
03:10My press secretary is a spokesperson, Mr. Peskov, showed this letter to me yesterday.
03:17Yesterday we had a working lunch with the president of Uzbekistan.
03:22Truly, I didn't have a chance to look in detail.
03:26Peskov has told me about this letter once again this morning.
03:30I had a glance at it.
03:33I skimmed it over.
03:35So there are several things I paid attention to.
03:40First, the author of this letter mentions my age.
03:44What can I tell?
03:47Well, everyone needs to think about their age.
03:49But I believe that at my age, many other political figures still keep performing their functions.
03:59Some of them are older than myself.
04:03Age is not the most important thing.
04:08Well, age is important but not the most important.
04:12The most important thing is whether you are capable of functioning properly, doing your job properly.
04:17So there are my colleagues who are older and who still are very energetic, whether they are doing the right
04:28choices or not.
04:29Well, that is not for me to say.
04:30It's a political assessment.
04:32But then she said about staying in power and an elected position.
04:39This is important.
04:40No doubt about that.
04:42But, you know, you've got to participate in an election.
04:45You've got to run and be courageous enough and always stick to the Constitution.
04:51Because if you cling on to power outside the constitutional field, this is qualified as usurpation of power.
04:59And that is a criminal offense.
05:00So one should not be afraid.
05:04One should run for office.
05:05And this is something I would recommend to anyone, especially because Ukraine was saying that they were going to hold
05:13elections.
05:14And then they started, they kept silent all of a sudden.
05:20The author of this letter says that the commitments achieved in Anchorage should not be observed.
05:28Moreover, he said that the search should be carried out for true guarantors of agreements between Ukraine and Russia and
05:36they should be searched for in Europe.
05:40Well, reliable guarantors are always a welcome thing.
05:44But why would they deny the American administration this order and President Trump in particular?
05:52I do not quite understand.
05:53They do want to get weapons from the U.S.
05:55However, they do not want to see the administration of the U.S. or President Trump as a guarantor.
06:03And this raises questions.
06:06We saw Donald, you know, instructing, scolding the author of the letter here pointed out about the way he dresses.
06:20You know, sometimes, you know, asking for blood is probably something you can do, but not everywhere.
06:28It's not always proper.
06:29Now, as for the manners, as it were, on the whole, I would like to thank Donald for this work.
06:39It's useful, but there are other things that still need to be done.
06:43This has to be continued.
06:46And now, on to the most important thing.
06:52The Ukrainian side has deemed it possible to give a public open dimension to our relations.
07:07They thought it proper to put it into the public field, which I do not think right or absolutely right.
07:16I think it's absolutely improper.
07:17But still, it gives me the right to say several things that few people are aware of or maybe no
07:23one is aware of.
07:24And this is serious.
07:28I'm not being ironic.
07:30Three weeks ago, a representative of our business circles gave me a call.
07:37And he asked me a question.
07:39He said, Mr. President, I've known this person for quite some time.
07:43We're not close, but I trust him.
07:46He is an honest person.
07:47He said, Mr. President, I'm being invited to Kyiv.
07:51I said, very well.
07:52Go ahead.
07:54What am I to do with that?
07:56But I wanted to inform you because I think they're going to talk about things related to the relations between
08:04our two countries.
08:05I said, I can't send you as an envoy, as an official capacity because only well-trained people from the
08:12foreign ministry, from the defense ministry, from special services have to be doing that as it was the case during
08:18our talks in Istanbul.
08:19Unfortunately, I cannot give you any official capacity.
08:23He said, I just wanted to inform you.
08:25I would go there, listen, and then I can tell you what they are going to talk about.
08:30I can't, you know, prohibit you, I said.
08:34And he went to Kyiv and he met there with the author of this letter, the aforementioned letter, at his
08:41residence.
08:42Not in Valdai.
08:48Then he got back.
08:50I met him.
08:54You know, there were many things, but the essential is as follows.
08:59Mr. Zelensky has asked for a meeting.
09:01I said, I never refused to meet.
09:06But meeting, you know, just for the sake of meeting, well, I've seen that.
09:14There is a reference to the Minsk agreements, I think.
09:17But we had been forging, hammering out those Minsk agreements throughout the night.
09:23And then the former leaders of France and Germany leaders stated that it had been nothing but an empty shell
09:32of an agreement.
09:34All the Minsk agreements were about one thing.
09:36That is saving more time for the rearmament of Ukraine.
09:41Why would we need anything like this once again?
09:45I said, I see no point in meeting.
09:49There is only point for Ukraine because they want to stop the offensive of the armed forces of Russia.
09:56What we need is agreements, arrangements, not for six months or a year, but for the long term.
10:03First, let experts work, work something out, and then we can meet to sign things.
10:11But first, we need to arrive at a solution, and that is the crux of the matter.
10:17And I think the audience will understand what I'm saying, especially people from Russia.
10:22I think it was on May the 21st.
10:25Whereas on May the 22nd, the Ukrainian armed forces carried out an atrocious terrorist attack
10:33against the college dormitory in the Lugansk People's Republic, killing teenagers.
10:42This is an atrocious crime.
10:44There was not a single military facility there.
10:46There was not a single military vehicle stationed next.
10:51The next morning, I gave a call to the school who had traveled to Kyiv.
10:56I asked him, what does it mean?
10:59They are asking for a meeting, and they carry out such atrocious, blatant attacks as the killing of children.
11:07What does it mean?
11:08He said, I've got no explanation.
11:12They're calling me once again, I'm going to talk to them, and then I'll get back to you.
11:18And I'm not going to talk to them anymore, I said very well.
11:21So this letter that you mentioned, indeed, it is rude.
11:28What is this letter about?
11:31Is it a means to create an environment for a personal meeting?
11:36Or maybe is this letter meant to make sure that no personal meetings can't take place at all?
11:42I think it's the second.
11:44So we shouldn't be addressing the authors of this letter.
11:52The ones to be addressed are our combatants, our soldiers at the line of contact.
11:57And I'm addressing them.
12:00And I would like to tell them, comrade soldiers and seamen and sailors, admirals, generals, officers,
12:13the country's gazes are fixed upon you.
12:16The country is proud of you and places its hopes on you.
12:20Keep working, brothers.
