Vladimir Putin

As for BRICS, where Russia took over the presidency this year, the BRICS countries are by and large developing very rapidly. Look, if memory serves me right, back in 1992 the share of the G7 countries in the world economy amounted to 47%, whereas in 2022 it was down to, I think, a little over 30%.

It has nothing to do with the events in Ukraine. This is due to the trends of global development and world economy, as I mentioned just now. And this is inevitable. This will keep happening. It is like the rise of the sun. You cannot prevent the sun from rising. You have to adapt to it. How do the United States adapt? With the help of force, sanctions, pressure, bombings and use of armed forces.

This is about self-conceit. Your political establishment does not understand that the world is changing under objective circumstances. And in order to preserve your level, even if someone aspires, pardon me, to the level of dominance, you have to make the right decisions in a competent and timely manner.

Such brutal actions, including with regard to Russia and, say, other countries, are counterproductive. This is an obvious fact. It has already become evident.

We'll support any proposals that lead to a sustainable, just peace. But for this, we have to understand what's at stake, what are the details. And I hope to God that we know all these details so that the partners talk to us. Because there are two sides in this war, Russia and Ukraine. trying to negotiate without Ukraine, in my view, will not be productive.

Russia is one of the undisputed leaders in reserves of these rare earth metals. We have them in the north, in the Caucasus and in the far east. These are quite capital intensive investments, capital intensive projects. We would be happy to work together with any foreign partners, including American ones.

We told them. This NATO expansion, don't do it. It violates our security. Still, they did it. Is that just? There is no justice here and we want to change that and we'll achieve it.

Using this intelligence, using satellites, we are able to foresee Russian Red Army actions, to understand what kind of supplies they provide to the front line, to understand what kind of attacks they are already doing. By cutting that, we become almost blind. We still have some access to our own surveillance, but it's mainly short, mid-range surveillance.

You cannot prevail or you cannot destroy the enemy if you don't understand its actions.

This is a bitter election result for the SDP.

If to achieve peace you really need me to give up my post, I am ready. I can trade it for NATO, if there are such conditions. I'm focused on Ukraine's security today. Not in 20 years. I'm not going to be in power for decades.

I have to say that the situation is changing drastically. You know that very well. I just want to confirm that. We see movement all along the front line every day. And, as I have already said, it's not about moving 100 or 200 or 300 meters ahead. Our military men are regaining the territory by square kilometres every day.

Warfare is complicated, therefore it's hard to think ahead and to foretell the future. But we are moving forward and, as I said, we are getting closer to solving our primary tasks that we have outlined at the beginning of the special military operation.

How will the 30 days be used? Would that allow Ukraine to continue the forced mobilization for weapons to be supplied so those mobilized can be trained? Or will that not be done? And how are control and verification issues to be resolved? How will it be guaranteed to us that nothing of the kind will happen? I hope this is common sense. These are serious issues.

Who will issue the order to cease fire and what is the price of such orders?

We agree with the proposals for the ceasefire, but our position is based on the assumption that the ceasefire would lead to a long-term peace, something that would remove the initial reasons for the crisis.

If he had been the president, if... The victory wasn't stolen from him in 2020. Maybe the Ukrainian crisis that arose in 2022 appeared. If it hadn't been stolen from him, if it hadn't been stolen from him, Putin saying this,

We, by the way, would be ready to offer our American partners, when I say partners, I mean administrative, government structures, but also private companies, if they would show interest in working together. We have, of course, a lot of work to do. I want to say a significant amount of resources of this kind in Ukraine. Bingo.

They were happy to carry out any order from Washington on Biden. They just don't like Trump. They fought him actively, really interfered in political life, in the election process in the U.S. And then they were confused when Trump suddenly won.

But Trump has different ideas about what is good, what is bad, including gender policy and some other issues.

Хорошо.

What can I offer to the President-elect Trump when we meet? First of all, I don't know when we will meet, because he doesn't say anything about it. I haven't spoken to him for more than four years, and I am ready for it, of course, at any time. And I will be ready for a meeting if he wants it. Politics is the art of compromise.

And we have always said that we are ready for both negotiations and compromises. It is just that the opposite side, in the literal and figurative sense of the word, refuse to negotiate.

The result of these negotiations is always compromise. Do you believe him?

Thank you, though.

The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely coincides with our vision.

The radical neoliberalism destroying traditional values. The obsessive emphasis on race. Modern cancel culture. It turns into reverse discrimination, reverse racism. They invented five or six genders, transformers, trans. You see, I do not even understand what it is. Share toilets for boys and girls. Cats marrying dogs.

Our position is based on the assumption that the ceasefire would lead to a long-term peace.

Because we agree with the proposals for the ceasefire, but our position is based on the assumption that the ceasefire would lead to a long-term peace, something that would remove the initial reasons for the crisis.

This was done. But honestly, I am surprised by the restraint of the newly elected President of the United States, Trump, regarding his allies, who behaved in such, let's say, a rude manner. He still behaves quite politely towards them, but they do not hold back. After all, if we talk about the Ukrainian settlement, The United States is working with its with European allies.

Mr. Kellogg, as far as I know, is currently in Cairo. Right. Before this, he met with Europeans. Now the president of France is going to Washington.

Thank you. Without any jokes or irony, I want to thank you. And with pleasure, really. When there is an opportunity, which I hope will arise, I will definitely come to you. And then, who knows, maybe Pavel Borisovich will not be stingy. That's what I'll tell you. We already have a tandem. Okay. Thank you very much.

I myself recently said we will press them. There is reason to believe that we will finish them off. I think that realization should come within the Ukrainian people themselves. As for our armed forces, they are gaining momentum and are acting more and more effectively.

Vladimir Judy owns a few here in cold water. He te came to the U. S. Legally by former president Joe B He says that many of thes under trump administration be a disaster for his bus a big mistake and there i together that he's doing Vladimir Judy says he believes migrants are a big force driving America's economy. He tells me, like so many others, he came to the U.S.

from Haiti for a better life with more opportunities.

Judy says so far none of his workers have been deported, but it's a major concern because of recent attempts to deport some migrants legally in the U.S. That includes the deportation of a Maryland man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, to El Salvador. The Trump administration claims Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang, despite providing no evidence.

President Trump is also trying to undo some immigration programs which allow migrants to work in the U.S. As for Judy, he has a message for migrant workers in West Michigan.

Like Trump, of course, had said that he could have the war ended even before he took office. I assume that's not going to happen. We're just eight days away from being sworn in. What is the realistic timeframe for at least a ceasefire in Ukraine? What do you think? What's the goal?

nuclear saber rattling from the Kremlin this morning with Vladimir Putin.

They're being pushed to the limit by Russia's full-scale invasion with attacks across Ukraine from areas near those pro-Russian enclaves in the east. to the capital Kiev in the West.
