And russias affairs. So media leap was such story up and become the 5 uh, the worldwide dropbox. Go with the front of your top storage. Ready to roll here on, on the International Book before we kick it all off. We do start this all with some news just reaching us. Now, as we understand, one person has been killed in 2 more wounded in a new round of ukraine. You know tanks on the belgrade region that is according to local officials. And this comes as russia is defense, ministry size, the old times by you creating and forces to enter the bell. Gordon coast regions over the past 3 days have been watered. Officials, se ukrainian losses are estimated up more than 1000. 500 troops. Is off. Who is Donald Cortez now investigating . And they all start with a report that the Russian Defense ministry recently released shutting some new lights on the attack that the ukrainian troops unused to attempt to breach into russias belgrade border region. Yesterday it said that the ukrainian groups that a launch these attacks were partly made up of 4 and mercenaries actually, and that they entered several buildings on the outskirts of a russian border town in an attempt to further penetrate into russian territory. This, however, was stopped by Russian Troops and Border Guards with the help of aerial strikes and artillery strikes and rushes. Administrative defense also says that they suffer just yesterday over 50 casualties and were forced to retreat. But again, thats just yesterday, over the past several days, there had been several different attempts by ukrainian troops to breach both into russia as belgrade region and course region, which has resulted according to the Russian Ministry of defense in over 1500. 00 casualties for ukrainian troops now, its also interesting to understand that this is all happening. This increase in a tax on russias Border Regions, right in the run up to the russian president ial election ship. And so you have to wonder what would be the point of that . It looks likely that theyre trying to create some sort of chaos or scare people in the Border Regions out of voting in the upcoming president ial elections. But as weve seen, these attacks themselves have been quite unsuccessful. Meanwhile, in its own yes, 3 children, 2 girls and a boy being killed of an item ukrainian shelling a residential building was sent in the attack. According to local officials, a total of 11 shells were fired into the city in the early hours of the morning. Well, this is all to international. So good that good company as a boating in the president ial election is officially under way across all of Russia Holding stations now open in every city. We understand 2600000 citizens have already voted. Thats according to the central Election Commission. And of course, here at all today, we are following every step of the president ial election with all special covering the, the chair of the russian. The Central Electric commission has given the 1st update about john out, accommodate yourself 11 percent of russian citizens of cost of votes so far of a vast expense. So the Worlds Largest country covers 11 time zones. So those in the far east and come check up and, and sell it with the very 1st the cost of dollars and building is actually close that for the day before re opening from all right. Voting is also wrapped up in the port city of light of all storm, as well as the island of cycling. A local authorities report a relatively high turn off the 1st day, roughly a 35 percent across the whole of the far east. Bidwell, some of russia itself, officials have be not seen taking 5 areas. Right. That makes sense. Okay. Now, for all the countries for administer, stopping by a local coating station in moscow, while the defense minnesota case showing good was seen voting in the southern ministry district, smelt the supervisors entire election. Russia has invited most of the vowels and observe us from International Organizations for more than 95 countries. We spoke to one who shared his experience so far. Primaries, objectivity is just observation and up to up the sense that i love. So things we can, we can replicate in my country, good lessons that we can bring with us. And then we can buy a plane, my country that can be the end of the 60, noting this, it look, sometimes we have experience like we are in a very busy and in back home we might run by very busy schedule, but many more things to the minute, so here we, i can see most of the things are mine is so nicely that that is the most prior and primary optimism for me and been we have visited some floating statements and boarding is being very peacefully. Well meanwhile, high above our head. So the russian, i assess crew is also a cost pilots in the president ial elections a to vote. The customer knows chose that trusted person on the head of the russian. Currently have City District eager to play form of the contact of the customer also via a secure channel to carry out the task in the people, the people in read the rest as a new regions, i should say very close to the front lines. They were able to the costs of votes ahead of time to force you to security reasons as well, molding stations and ill open across all of the devices i phonology and focus on regions of the local electoral commissions. The saying that i have a 1200 was voting notifications. Have been com with so much that is with them to do for the supplies. The pictures of people came to vote in the election of the us state departments post post and apparently not really sharing any of such enthusiasm in the United States condemns. Russia has continued efforts to undermine ukraine, sovereignty territorial integrity and political independence through sham elections. Held in occupied ukrainian territories, the United States does not. And will never recognize the legitimacy or outcome of the sam elections held in sovereign ukraine as part of russias president ial elections. To be clear, lou, hans, dont yet separate rita. Her song and crimea, are you crank . The results of these potemkin sell exercises will be dictated by moscow and cannot reflect the free will, the citizens of ukraine were being compelled to vote in them. However, you know, washington wasnt always so down beat about the peoples right to choose, and russia ought to use the english down off. Was me looking back to a time when washington was more than happy about who democracy was putting in the criminal in the have a listen to this. I had if its president ial election rush, i had one message to the west. Dont metal look up lou, we have sent accumulating a lot of materials about how the European Union embassies and mosque out or preparing for our president ial elections. What intervention mechanisms and supporting projects for our non systematic composition is, are being prepared in general. Things that embassies have no right to do. Having collected such information, we invited all the ambassadors of the European Union to a meeting with meetings at which i wanted to tell them we simply advise them in good faith. Not to do this 2 days before the scheduled meeting, they sent us a note saying they had decided not to come in. Can you imagine relations with state and zip on medical level, whose in passengers are afraid to come to a meeting which administer of a country to which they are accredited . Where has that been seen hill footsteps, the manners of the swarm partners, e. C. This might sound out of place to some given the 2016 russia collusion hysteria in the us when the roles were reversed. But it makes perfect sense to those who Pay Attention to americas intelligence routine overseas. Weve been doing this kind of thing since the c i a was created in 1947. Weve used posters, pamphlets, mailers, banners, you name it. We planted false information in for newspapers. Weve used what the british call king georges cavalry, suitcases of cache, and the russian battlefield in this war for the hearts and minds actually saw one of the biggest victories of the c. I a, it all started like this. It doesnt take collusion from the trump campaign. Right, for russian active measures to mess with our elections. Was we messed with the ledger . The funny thing, the thing is i was sent in 1994 to russia by the Clinton Administration to get involved in their elections seeking what outcome and from the other re election of Boris Yeltsin versus hilton inherited the shambles of the soviet union, which smarter in russia used to be in the early ninetys. He didnt do much for the country during his 1st tenure, the country. So a bloody qu, attempt suffered from monstrous terrorist attacks organized, crying flourished. The economy was in ruins and the population was stricken with the round pond poverty. But all that didnt matter to washington for them, yeltons keep straight and achievement was, hes absolute, a dollar fee and salvage you to the us. So when the poles showed he was likely to lose to his communist rifle in the 1996 election, it was time to take action for none other than the american president himself. No one will be able to succeed except to myself and 0 gone off. All others will get no more than 10 percent, but they can add the votes to his or subtract them from mine. So now i have to work with full candidates and make them favorable to me, especially if we go to a 2nd round. I have set firmly the task of winning in the 1st round, so i would ask you not to embrace, youve gone off in advance. You dont have to worry about that. We spend 50 years working for the other result. Soon off to 3 americans landed in russian 3 and for per now as in the business of the most cutting edge, most market innovation of the time, flat screen tvs or so was the legend. In reality, they were political science, heavy weights on emission to tip the scales in yeltons favor the communist had to lose. First is done to prove that the job yeltsin is doing 17 things will get any better. I prefer the communist approach. There exist any one very simple strategy, but winning 1st become the oneill alternative to the communist and 2nd, make the people say that the communist must be stopped on costs. The Us Administration displayed a very little understanding of this at all costs or the the agents what teach paid 250000. 00, and basically had a blank check to cover any additional expenses. But given yeltons public support, the task at hand was truly ga, again joined. In the us, you would advise a pull with those kinds of numbers to get another occupation to get americas favorite sons rating out of the got to event, president clinton was ready to spare no expense. Ill check on this with the ins and with some of our friends and see what can be done. I think this is the only way it can be done. But let me clarify this. I had understood that you would get about 1000000000. 00 from the i m. S before the election. No, no, only 300000000. 00. Ill check. Okay, apparently it was president clinton to convinced his russian counterpart to appear in a campaign video. And when the selection results came in, the 3 american political scientists actually sat in the Election Commission building the kid. They did it, it worked, at least for a while. Now russia is in a fight against a u as dominated world order. And this time, washington doesnt have the yeltsin way out. Well, one name notably absent from this years president ial ballot. His of lot of manager to know ski is following his death. Of course i was 2 years ago. He had to stood accurate in every president ial election for the liberal Democratic Party since the creation of the russian federation. He was a rather well known, perhaps a bit notorious for making outlander statements. Although occasionally his predictions turned out to be very prophetic. To use the radio is the was going to the, you know, the super duty soon does new civic keep. Those are the both coming down to my, the very at the generals in most cars. No need to rattle your weapons. You have to say, lets do it. You refused to, then we can adopt another problem and youll know what that entails at for you. On the 22nd of february, i would like 2022 to be peaceful. But i loved the truth. Ive been telling the truth for 75 years. It will not be peaceful year. It will be a year when russia will finally become a great country against the age of deals. I see you see the data because they dont lose those nations. I dont see crime. He has already returned for song. Make a live zip or are you little guns petrov park of an adult. So must return the population. There is russian. Its never had anything to do with ukraine. The number the, the other thing is we would usually start so with numbers, you must do. We need to take into account the situation in the middle east by 2024 events will unfold that will make everyone forget about ukraine. Thats where the most terrible events will happen. Is it was this deal for this . Do not spend me. It has been a little bit the im getting some new figures just in right here, the oil change, and after the mothership in moscow. Of course, this is the 1st day of election voting. The russian central Election Commission has given another update about turn out, and conversely, as we understand just over 13 and a half percent of russian citizens have so far cost that but of course it is de 1. 00, as i mentioned now, when it comes to the most comprehensive coverage of this selection, did you want to be watching this channel right here . A correspondence our experts are unless they all want to jump into the front row seat here and get involved a lot to be discussed over the next few days. So if you can stick around for us special cover the company with this program on our t. So it was earlier this month, the french president have annual macro and appear to be putting his country on a war footing by suggesting european troops might be sent to ukraine. But he said, is claimed in another interview. The piracy is, in fact only a forced for peace. Of course, you dont like to reach the president of the republic is responsible for national defense. He makes decisions for the safety of the french. People can only make the decision because after 2 years of war and i want to remind you of this, we systematically did what we said we werent going to do because theres a puzzling of the very strong statements that some people across europe sometimes make could 2 years ago we said we would never send Medium Range Missiles because thats what we did. We said we would never send the planes now some of doing it. We set too many boundaries, so to speak. You know of a temporary, but we dont aggravating things. We not, well with russia, we just have to clearly understand that we must not allow russian to with his own is simply if we want peace and ukraine today, we must not be weak. Therefore, we must look at the situation clearly and say decisively with will encourage you. Were ready to do whatever is necessary to achieve or goal, which is the rush. It does not with the ready is because were preparing the moment. This means were training phone. Well, despite those a piece making claims during the same interview, my phone actually doubled down on his view of the sending western troops to ukraine. You should not be ruled out. Those are reminded people, the from has Nuclear Weapons adding a good if key of loses a conflict of the credibility of the European Union will be shot. Will come in such a passion can meet your pest golf, says background, the stipends, simply prove from says, growing involvement. In the con deposition we read macro on statements. The fact that russia is an enemy of france is obvious, because paris is already drawn into the war and ukraine, and is taking an indirect part in this war. And judging by the president statements, frances not averse to increasing the degree of its involvement with the leader of the french patriots policy. If you dont have people, he believes macro and only use a such a hawkish language to conceal get. This is lack of actual power, and we use it to the dog as good. When the crown says france is a power of bees. Thats the only time he says the would be. What struck me in him. I know im a grown speech, was precisely the absence of the would be the absence of the word negotiations which does not appear at all. But on the contrary, a continuation of a kind of dramatize zation. He used to exist as a fright, defronzo in relation to the you creating conflict. There is no is essential thread in this case. So he uses dangers woods, explosive woods, and he doesnt tell the truth if we are under an exist angel for it. We have the right to use Nuclear Weapons. Mccomb wants to show off his small muscles as he doesnt have many uses words that he can handle the de la cronus talking a lot because he wants to try to compensate for. Hes like a fellow at another time. He lied a lot was when he said he did everything, he could to prevent it and keep the peace. He mentioned the means agreements. You said the bronze in germany had done everything to ensure that these agreements with respect to it is not true on the country. But as the front salon wasnt valid, time german chancellor angela medicaid said last year that they did not implemented demands agreements when they should have as the French Military have seen 40 percent of friendship, tillery already goes to ukraine. What they think they think is crazy for our own safety. So in fact, we have already done a lot. And ma, chrome wants to do even more using weapons and money, which we dont have any way because we are, hes in debt and out on the has already been reduced to 0. Ive seen that in French Public opinion. They will not forget about macro and said, because the french of fed up a former us treasury secretary appears to be around the golden opportunity. Hes trying to gather up a group of big time. Investors look at a swoop and on the possible breakup of tick tock off of the Chinese Social Media Company was deemed a Security Threat by washington.
