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.

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.

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.

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.
