Important events of the day. Building a new world. Valdai club. Vladimir putin about the west having lost its sense of reality. We hear all the time, it sounds all the time you must, you must. We seriously warn you. Who are you anyway . What right do you have to warn someone . What is the essence of the just cause that is being defended in the special operations zone. The ukrainian crisis is not territorial conflict, i want to emphasize this. Russia is the largest, largest country in the world by territory , we have no interests in terms of conquering any additional territories, the question is much broader and fundamental, we are talking about the principles on which the new world order will be based. How the countrys shield is strengthened in a turbulent world. We have actually finished work on the sormat, a superheavy rocket, the question is that we move on to mass production of them and putting them on combat duty, and we will do this in the near future, we have almost completed the work on modern types of strategic weapons that i spoke about and which i announced for several more years. Ago, the last successful test of the burevestnik, a globalrange, Nuclear PoweredCruise Missile, was carried out. Why is talk about International Isolation meaningless . The world is changing, and climbing back and forth through the window all the time means tearing your pants, but its not the best thing to do, why climb through the window when there are other doors. But we are not going to impose ourselves on europe, if she doesnt want it. Karabakh, as agreed by the ip with armenia and without azerbaijan. But this was the inevitable consequence of what was done in prague in brussels. In essence, the main, absolutely key issue, which was the status of karabakh, was resolved. How else should you react to this . Armenia recognized, but what should we do, no, but we dont recognize, well, this is nonsense, thats right , some kind of nonsense, into what corner did the canadian speaker drive himself with nazi gunka in parliament, but if he doesnt know that during the war hitler and his minions, then he is an idiot, and if he knows, then he is a scoundrel, when in our common house the windows to the west, to the east are updated, i am a fourthclass carpenter, i know how to build windows, dont worry, we will expand it if necessary, if it suits ours national interests, security and development for all , the multipolarity that russia sees . So, the main source of news today is the Valdai International discussion club. Vladimir putin spoke to 140 politicians, diplomats and economists from 42 countries. Conversation like in previous years. Session valdai, now the twentieth, is a discussion about the very essence of world affairs, but right now there is a time of fundamental changes in them, in which russia plays a visible role, no matter how much the western countries, accustomed to their order, wanted otherwise, Anton Vernitsky listened to the president. The valdai club, as a discussion platform, was created in 2004. The discussion was initially intended to be about the future of russia. At that time, our country, which had been under the iron rule for many years, was just beginning to be recognized. Russia tried in every possible way to build new relations with the old peace. When we first met at a club meeting almost 20 years ago, our country was entering a new stage of its development. Russia has overcome the most difficult period of recovery after the collapse of the ussr; we, with all our energy and good will, have joined the processes of building a new, as it seemed to us, more equitable world order. Unfortunately, some misunderstood our readiness for constructive interaction, understood it as submission, as agreement that the new order will be built by those who declared themselves victors in the cold war. All these years, we have warned more than once that this approach not only leads to a dead end, it is fraught with an increasing threat of military conflict. But no one was going to listen to us. On the contrary, the west, as putin emphasized, has headed for confrontation, military, political , economic, and even cultural, trying all these years to build relations with our country as with a huge new colony that can be dictated to and robbed. As it was done for centuries, with all the other colonies, well, here are your colleagues, many are missing here, but they do not deny that the welfare of the west was largely achieved thanks to the robbery of colonies over the centuries, but this is a fact, western influence in the world is a huge militaryfinancial pyramid, it constantly needs new fuel to maintain itself the most natural ones, i have already spoken about this publicly to our allies, our partners, because there was a moment when your humble servant simply suggested that maybe we should join nato, but no, such a country is not needed in nato, no, so what . Something else, we they believed that we were already one of our own, excuse me, as our people say what else is there no more ideological confrontation, what is the problem . Apparently the problem is in geopolitical interests and an arrogant attitude towards others, thats the problem, selfconfidence. And for this, the United States, its satellite to the very collective west, which is now essentially waging war on our country at the hands of the fraternal people of ukraine, has always needed an enemy. In such a scheme, the very concept of any sovereignty is simply denied, thrown out, from. It is obvious that adherence to bloc approaches, the desire to drive the world into a situation of constant confrontation between us and them, the vicious legacy of the century, is a product of western political culture, at least its most aggressive manifestations. Russia has to respond to such aggression by the everincreasing militarypolitical pressure, as, according to the president , any sovereign state, a state that is not persecuted, should act. Some blocs like nato, created to threaten those who do not obey the hegemon, then the United States has a state that cannot be given an order and a decision cannot be imposed, for example, in the economy, but this is exactly what is happening now in relations between the United States and the European Union, which is literally forced into a war with russia by the hands of the ukrainians. I have said more than once that we did not start the socalled war in ukraine, on the contrary, we are trying to end it, we did not stage a coup in kiev. Unconstitutional, it was not we who intimidated the crimeans with the bloody coup detat, and the sevastopol residents with ethnic cleansing in nazi spirit, we werent the ones who tried to force the donbass into obedience with the help of shelling and bombings, we werent the ones who threatened to deal with those who want to speak their native language, listen, well, here are all informed, literate people, you can use your brains, excuse the bad manners, reality from the media, well, you know what happened, for 9 years they bombed, shot, tanks were used, war, a natural war against donbass was unleashed, and no one counted the dead children in donbass, no one in others countries, especially in the west, did not cry for the dead, the war started by the kiev regime with the active direct support of the west is already in its tenth year, and is a special military one. Lost, crossed all possible boundaries, in vain. Counterparties in the west a sense of reality the ukrainian crisis is not a territorial conflict, i want to emphasize this, russia is the largest, largest country in the world in terms of territory, we have no interests from the point of view of developing siberia, eastern siberia, and the far east, this is not a territorial conflict, and not even establishment. The question is much broader and more fundamental, we are talking about the principles on which the new world order will be based. Lasting peace will only be established when everyone begins to feel safe, understand that their opinions are respected, and that there is a balance in the world, when no one is able, at his own request, to force, force others to live and behave. The way the hegemon pleases. At the same time , the hegemon has more and more enemies; we, according to putin, are historically accustomed to the fact that russia is their enemy, but the United States is trying to mold the image of an enemy from everyone who is not ready to blindly follow their course, from anyone, from the peoples republic of china, in certain situations, at a certain moment, from india from the same sweat, now they are flirting, of course, we understand these perfectly well, we feel and we see the situation in asia, everything is clear, well, uh. I want to say that the indian leadership is independent , very nationally oriented, i think that these attempts do not make any sense, but nevertheless , they continue, they are trying to mold an enemy from the arab world, also selectively, well, they are trying act carefully, but nevertheless, in general, this is what it all comes down to, and they even try to mold muslims into. Some kind of hostile environment. Ultimately, all this cannot lead to anything positive. No blocs that are created solely to fight unwanted or disliked countries will help. There are plenty of examples, including libya and iran, attempts to overthrow the government in syria, and before that there were vietnam and externally organized coups in african countries. After all, this is precisely why the United States is always trying to replace International Law in some order. In what order . Based on certain rules, what rules . What kind of rules these are, who invented them, is completely incomprehensible, but this is just some kind of nonsense, but they are trying to instill into the consciousness of millions of people, we must live by the rules, what kind of rules, and in general, if we allow our western colleagues, especially from the usa, they not only establish such arbitrary rules, but also teach who should implement them and how. Who and how should behave in general is done and said, this is all, as a rule, openly boorish form, this is all, all the same manifestation of this colonial colonial thinking, we hear all the time, it sounds all the time, you must, you are obliged, we are seriously warning you, who are you anyway, what right do you have to warn someone . This is simply amazing, for those who say this, maybe its time for you yourself to get rid of arrogance and convey, stop behaving in relation to the world community, which thus perfectly understands its tasks, its interests, its time to get rid of this, from this thinking of the era of colonial rule, i would like to say, wipe your eyes, this era is long over and will never return, never. I will say more, over the centuries, such behavior led to the reproduction of the same thing, great wars, for the justification of which various ideological, or even pseudo moral justifications were invented. Today this is especially dangerous; humanity has means that, as we know, can easily destroy the entire planet. And manipulation of consciousness on an incredible scale leads to loss of feeling. Reality, russia a sense of reality, as Vladimir Putin put it, can never lose, due to the fact that we are a unique state, a civilization, this is exactly what is said in the concept of the Foreign Policy of our country, this is a fundamental difference from western civilization still built on colonial past based on enslavement. These times have passed, our understanding of civilization is completely different. Firstly, there are many civilizations. And not a single one. None of them is better or worse than the other, they are equal in rights as exponents of their aspirations cultures and traditions, our peoples, well, for each of us this is different, for me, for example, these are the aspirations of our people, of which i was lucky enough to become a part, and one more very important thing, ones civilization, of course, cannot be betrayed to anyone, this path. To general chaos, this is unnatural and disgusting, i would say, for our part we have always tried and are trying to offer solutions that would take into account the interests of everyone. Understanding. Then what to do in an era of dramatic changes that the west is trying not to notice, according to putin our country exists, russia knows where we are going and what we want to achieve, according to the president , we are talking about gigantic, incredibly complex processes throughout the world. First, we want to live in an open, interconnected world, in which no one will ever try to erect artificial barriers to peoples communication, their creative realization and prosperity. Secondly, we want the diversity of the world not to be preserved, but to be the foundation of universal development, imposing on any country or people how to live, how to feel should be prohibited, third, we are for maximum representativeness, not one person decides for everyone, and not everyone even decides about everything, but those who are directly affected by this or that issue agree on what and how to do. Fourth we are for universal security and lasting peace, built on respect and interests of everyone, from great , large states to small countries, we just need to put aside pride, arrogance and stop looking at others as second class partners, or as outcasts or savages. Fifth, we are for justice for everyone, everyone owes access be provided. To the benefits of modern development, attempts to limit it for any country or people should be considered an act of aggression, exactly that. Sixth, we are for equality, for the difference in the potentials of different countries, this is an absolutely objective factor, but no less objective is the fact that no one is anymore ready to obey, to make their interests and needs dependent on whoever it is, and above all on more rich or. According to Vladimir Putin, these are the principles that we want to adhere to ourselves and to observance of which we invite everyone to join. Russia was, is, and will be one of the foundations of the world system, ready for constructive interaction with everyone who strives for peace and prosperity, ready for tough opposition to those who profess the principles of dictatorship of violence. We are confident that pragmatism and common sense will triumph, and a multipolar world will establish itself, because the future of president putins ambassadors is being created today not only before our eyes, but with our hands. Anton vernitsky, ekaterina yarovenko, yuri yarchenko, channel one. Vladim vladimirovich, thank you very much. The valdai club participants, listening to the president , undoubtedly received new material for questions, different experts, different countries, different topics, at 9 00 pm the communication was still ongoing. Konstantin panyushkin managed to collect the most significant and interesting things. This is what valdai looks like after more than a year and a half of a special operation, a full hall of the Plenary Session and 140 experts participating from fortytwo states. Another question is, what did this trip to russia cost them . Of course they are they require certain courage. Is there any doubt that you will gather the hall . No serious ones. Unlike the ministry of foreign affairs, deldai does not divide countries according to the principle of friendliness. Or not, so in the hall there are only friends from the west, east and global south, in the first row , bakri horses from indonesia, a year ago, when the risks of traveling to russia seemed even higher, she became a guest in aldai for the first time and immediately became famous by asking the president for photo. Oh my god, you know that in my homeland they call me madame putin, but heres what else you need know about the guests, she is an analyst in the field of defense, military and intelligence activities in indonesia, in this regard, a question for another participant in the valdai conference, retired colonel of the svr, andrey without hands. From a professional point of view, in an intelligence sense, are you evaluating the participants here . Well, look, they are all great professionals in science, and lets say, in the media space , i think that there are huge parallels between what intelligence does and what science does, there are so many intersections that i am here, so to speak, as a quasi scientist and scout, in general, deep down, i just feel great pleasure in my native atmosphere. In my native atmosphere, and the discussion began immediately with a topic well known to Intelligence Officers , you once said, a long time ago, in a very, very vivid phrase, that russias borders do not end anywhere, if russias borders do not end, then civilizations russian and russian apparently there is nothing to talk about here at all , thats how to understand it, where is it, you know, it was said. For the first time in a conversation with one of the former president s of the United States im home to the states, it was said jokingly, of course, when he looked at the map of the russian federation. Well, if we are serious, then of course, this, first of all, has a civilizational meaning , there are many of our compatriots living in the russian world, it has a global character, the russian language is one of the official languages of the un, if we speak seriously, to repeat, then in the civilizational sense, of course , there are no borders, that is, civilization for you is not territory, but people, yes, of course, first of all these are people, but if you still talk about territory a year ago, journalist gabbar shtir, at a captive session in aldai, asked putin, in short, whose odessa is, then Vladimir Putin avoided answering, but has answered now. Last time i abstained, i can say that odessa is, of course, a russian city, well , a little bit jewish, as we are saying now, just a little bit. In general, the first topic of discussion is special operations. And in this case , you can characterize the special military operation as a civilizational conflict, did you say that this is not a territorial conflict . Well, this is first of all. I dont know what kind of civilization is being defended by those who are on that line, on that front line, on that side of the front line, but we are defending our traditions, our culture, our people. Since we are talking about ukraine, the issues of military support for kiev from the west, against the backdrop of problems with the allocation of funds, primarily in the United States. In europe, it seems to me, they felt that they would have to take on the financing themselves. Do you think they will cope and what do we expect from them . But we are waiting for the manifesta
