No one intimidated them and it is impossible to intimidate out people of the opposing kind of its secure, less than 5 percent of the total was the federal both the child was 73 percent. The phones are close, the official patty has these up the middle belgrade we have had continuous attacks on the polling stations from Ukrainian Forces because they have no to the to anyone from coming out. Unfortunately, 2 people have been killed considering the 10 situation, the feeling of fear was still present. Today i gathered all my civic responsibility, courage, perseverance, and pride in russia into a fist and came to the post or the. What is this going . 5 am here in the russian capital, and were staying with you throughout the night to bring the will, the latest twists and turns in this pivotal russian president ial election. Im the key, aaron, and i want to come on me. And as it stands out to me, a fusion is in size of a landslide victory with 87. 34 percent of the votes, according to preliminary results, with almost 98 percent of the. But its not kansas looking very clear what the russian people want for the next 6 years isnt dates. What about the turn house is reported to be around 73 percent vladimir, whos and has a very strong lead and a preliminary towns. The communist Party Candidate came in seconds with 4. 3 percent. That he was followed by the new people policy candidate deadline cove with 3. 8 percent. And then of course, thats slootsky all the liberal democratic policy with slight de over 3 percent. And hes a new face full that policy. Of course, this to get head is always been 0 and all ski and for say, many years. But he saw the died 2 years ago when i was the countdown prose disney this conclusion. Now Vladimir Putin did hold a press conference at these, his election headquarters, and he did talk about the continued ukrainian attacks on posing stations and buses, new regions, and how this didnt deter russian vote is from coming out to have that se to get at least just get back despite the terrorist attacks and you and i already know this, well, the citizens living in these territories have shown not just civic majority. They show coverage and continued to show a video as no one, as i thought it assumed and said recently, no one intimidated them, but it was impossible to intimidate out people there. Ill turn out to both in the New Territories and in the border areas to make the turn out is even higher than in the rest of the country. And its simply a response from the people to the actions or trying to intimidate them. Do you have condition those and do it . Dont understand who theyre dealing the most of the of that you can put in part. Maybe its a good thing that they dont understand. Because in this case, of course, they will be defeated. Now they are trying, again, trying to get someone back to enter. Do they were destroyed. Almost 100 percent of them were destroyed and they moved forward by 100 meters. 25. 00 tanks were destroyed because the enemy has concentrated a group of around 5000. 00 in the border area. Not directly on the state borderline, but somewhere in their medium here. But the overall loss is about 40 percent. Of these about 35 percent are irrevocably up to 25. 00 tanks, dozens of Armored Vehicles and so on. If they like it that way then in principle to show it suits us the families because they mindlessly attack, its such a me trying to for them. Its either been official for us, let them try. No, he did focus heavily on the military operation in ukraine because of the rule. Even though he has schooled a landslide victory here in russia, in the so called new regions, is that have just recently become part of the country that hes figures in the 90 percent territory like and then thats gonna look guns. Republics, for example, and allowed them to put in the russian liter has well made it very explicit. That he realizes what it means that he realizes that people are happy, that they are approving of the fact that flatter my booty, decided to take this step and defend them and send the russian army to defend them against the key of regime. And so he really is, is the version that it towards, on his shoulders at the same time, the voting in the russian border regions. And im talking about the border with human brain. Very happened to the tune of terrorist attacks that how well they range from terrace trying to reach and to, to in then to russian, tad for you to just real emphasis shillings, terry showings of strict disability in areas in towns like the town of belgrade and flat them approved and he did not say explicitly, but he did do kind of hinted at the fact that the, if these showings continue, if ukraine continues in this, with its terrorist ways than well, a time will come when russia will have to create a buffer zone. He, again, he abstained from saying that russia would have to grab any more land, for example, in the heart of region which borders the russian style. Good region. But he did say that the need for this buffer his own the well, it is growing by his in minutes. He also talks about into an old russian affairs. He talked about his political opponents and his vision full rush at the same time. Let him approved. He was confronted by western journalists by an american journalist with a question about the death of alexi, nevada, a political figure in no position figured who in the west, many viewed as of latimer pollutants, key political opponents expected. It was a few days before mister and ive only passed away. Some colleagues told me not administration officials, some people said there was an idea to exchange mister invalid me for some people who are in prison in western countries. You can believe me or not. The person who spoke to me had barely finished his sentence, but i said, i agree, i mean, but unfortunately what happened and you happen to get the only on one conditions that we exchange him so that he doesnt come back, let him sit there, thats all. But it happens, theres nothing one to do about him, thats how much referrals when you look, which is go. If you want to know my opinion on whether our elections are democratic or not, i think they are democratic. Conversely, in some countries, for example, in your country, the blooms was going to be considered democratic to use an administrative resource. And it was an issue in order to attack one of the candidates for president of the United States, including using traditional authorities truth. We have no preference for any of the candidates for president of the United States of america. We will work with whoever the voters truck allergies, but the use of administrative resources, the traditional system. Its just me become an addictions under disgrace to the whole world for getting either states, unanimously or democratic or on a so called publishing system. As youre more than interested, i have every reason to believe that we do not see any diversity for at least have during the electoral process. I know some western countries including the United States today, therefore accept the return part. Please visit the on 12 Foreign Relations came into focus as well. And especially russias ties with china. Vladimir putin stress the cordial nature of relations. And he made it very, very apparent that he is intending to stay on this course and to, to continue to strengthen the ties between the most cool and big ging at the same time a lot of my food and also acknowledge the fact that the western partners they have been doing their best to right. So the internal political situation in russia, in fact this was something that Russian Politicians of various colors had been cooling at the western partners out about and likely the Russian Foreign minister surg, elaborate accusing, openly accusing wesley diplomats over taking steps towards meddling in russias internal affairs this was something that i asked Vladimir Putin about because that fool, after all these efforts, he gets this mass of land slide when even bigger than during the previous elections. So i asked him if he believes western powers would draw any conclusions out of the situation, that all the evidence terribly, terribly backfired for them. The reception after all, these are not completely stupid people sitting in all the instead. Sions that have been working against our country for decades. You know, when their problem is, in my opinion, it lies in the fact that after the collapse of the soviet union, there were a very large number of specialists on the soviet union who could not do anything else, but fight the soviet union. And then with the russian that arose in part of the territory. So they began to convince their political leadership, them, and public of their countries that they need to continue finishing, rush off, and in such a way that they themselves will not be left without a job. But still new generations of specialists are coming. They realistically assess the events taking place. I think they will be more sophisticated, but they will not change their goals with regard to russia. Paula, the Media Conference was rather expensive and lengthy. But after you wrapped up, we just had a chance to pick your brain of the trip as carver who was the spokesman for the russian president. And he reveals that Vladimir Putin does not intend to celebrate simply because he has no time to do so. His schedule is passed and he already has several meetings, blonde, including the meeting with rushes, military leadership. At the same time, he reveals that they are working on a 4 and the visit on a, for in trip for a russian president. He hasnt had too many of those uh, in the past. In the past few years, he even went as far as saying that the know what country vladimir poor do is set to travel to. But he stopped just short of revealing the name of the country. We will, of course, well have her to see, but vladimir prudent, of course he has 6 years as ahead of him as president. So he has a new tab and with the new figures of support, with the growing support he is bound to keep the country on the course, he has received confirmation that the nation is very approving of what hes doing. So he will carry on doing so. But maybe with renewed vigor. Well, while the account hasnt officially been officially ended calls for congratulations to present about them, it doesnt have because begun. We heard earlier from the prism of venezuela, of course, nicholas murder. Heres what he had to say. A minor trim, c, c, c. And weve moved in 87 percent of the votes. Clinton has completely won the war against the collective west of toiling. It demonstrates the values of the russian people who are leading the way from the rest of the clintons victory. Come out of come the most, im on the long road. A vindication here. Recognitions for newman, russia, a great russian, or with the multi polar world and for world apartments. So our elder brother Vladimir Putin is trying out so they can be these are good arguments for the world and for the yeah, 2024. Congratulations from windham, but its not in russia. On financing on old battlefront. Certainly, an exception of the will message there from nicholas medea wrote, and i think its going to be any stokes of surprises when it comes to who comes forward to congratulate document present. And who doesnt. Of course, many leaders from the global south of a home ready congratulated putin on his face the term, another 6 years at the helm of russia. The west hasnt been quite so full come 1st coming. Of course, even before the election was held, we had those sarcastic headline sarcastic responses from some westgate, they dont know the else, but its a do other than, you know, look at russia cost and try on what theyre doing and basically whatever rush it does say, the complete opposite because honestly they want Nothing Better to do. We should be focusing on their own domestic issues. Here. Russia as the, the great country, big one of the biggest, or the Biggest Country in the world. That inputs and clearly has a lot to take control and you were saying earlier how it, how different it was in 1999 to how different is out. I mean, the people over russia really behind. So its an and they want him to take them forward for the next 6 years. They think, oh, well, absolutely. I mean that the figures speak for themselves started a russian, people made that choice. They want less than may pretend to stay the ship for another 6 years. However, weve got the west such as germany, calling this whole election prose as a pseudo election of the us that the russian pose wouldnt need any but free no 5. So earlier we did speak with us politician die on said she said that these accusations of just simply the examples of hypocrisy. And i saw an article in the New York Times to denouncing russia for extending the elections to 3 days, which i found quite hypocritical, because here in the United States, now we have an election. Hes been, its not 3 days, its weeks on and an accounting is weeks on end. And i found it somewhat humorous that they, he said, having an election period over 3 days made it easier to commit to front when our election season now extends over many days or even weeks and months. The western main stream media has become simply a propaganda machine. For more and let me also express my concern of that, i understand that russia had to stop or successfully intercepted 35 different drone attacks coming from the direction of ukraine. I believe even a couple of civilians may have died in belgrade. So the kind of harassment of the electoral process there i, i think is just out of reach of the western media also by the way has lost many of its listeners as you may know until they manage to stop the people from being able to access our tea very well in the west uh cnn. These mainstream oregon, hardly any, wouldnt even listen to them anymore because they have found them to be so remote, for most people themselves experienced or believed using their own judgment. What must be occurring in the world and in their own lives. And i think the election with this. Busy over whelming show of trust and support for putin indicates the situation in russia, at least its stable. I think thats good because it does. It creates the conditions for this crisis, this situation to be finally ended in a calm and irrational manner. Unfortunately, it doesnt appear right now that there are many people in the west who are prepared to do that. Now the police will come and take the books on. Oh boy, all the worlds apart. Small t shirts homeless, but the russian elections are in front, a sign of change, not only for russia, but for the rest of the world to think russia not only survives on a diversity reaches the typical uh, explanation of many of russians with foot forward. I think right now russia is also driving on its own sense of agency. I dont take it as a protest. Suppose i take it as the self actualization of both. Because over the last couple of years, in the many years before that, russia has to, you know, come to transfer it. What it is, is a country what a sense for how it wants to develop volts values believes to be its own. And whats Alison Dawson on believing . And i think what we seen this vote both in the turn out and the level of support for large and i put in as well as for other candidates, demonstrates that the russians that actually, you know, taking destiny into that own hands. I think its very important to keep in mind that every nation and we know that from Political Science with no thats from collect to psychology. But every nation has its own sort of basic needs just like individuals. Nations also have it, and one of them is special dignity. And i think those figures that were seeing coming up demonstrate that the russians are no longer ashamed or shy to claim the national dignity. Its not about, you know, pushing something on the ukraine or the rest of the world. So its about spreading your ideology, but its about, you know, being yourself and, you know, taking pride in, being yourself that may also encourage other nations to stand up for that own National Interest and for who they are ultimately felt about, you know, leading the world to some unknown destination thats about being clear what you need for your development, using your own resources and the fair way and dealing with others on that, on an equal basis. Not as a sort of 3 church, you know, some pupils but rather on the, on an equal basis. And you know, that may have, or if occasions for the west cells, because i think many people on the west side tire, those are the kind of politics that the they encounter ones that own basic interest. Im not considered one, its all about abstract ideas of some, undefined leads rather than, you know, materials, things that matter to all of us. You know, how hospitals around, you know, how schools around whether you have normal, Public Transportation of whether, you know, the government takes care of the, you know, public services, etc. I think those are the most important things. And those are, you know, big issues, the ultimate, the people vote on in every country as well as live now to and nelson and walnut. Im so gives me its a long time delay vice chairman of the Shanghai Center for rim pack. Im into the National Center studies vaulted club x, but that was that as always, a pleasure. Thanks for joining us here today on this beautiful as you can see, day in mazda and now nelson. We can see that both we can see, continue and see basically, continuity is whats important and vital inputs and of course now going into his face to seizing think id rather be opposed to the both of the monks. They feel like the democracy in the western countries moving forward. How important is this continuity for both leaders to well, thank you for having me. And i know its pretty early in moscow at this hour, but yes, as i said, its a Beautiful Day. We have a Beautiful Day here in shanghai as well. Uh, all the topic of, uh, the new election, the russian accessible i have to congratulate, uh, friends in boxes of people, of russia. Uh for that choice. And uh, so it actually shows that the, the, the boxes of the people of russia about, uh, who they both for and what kind of, uh, a leader they are expecting. So putting has proven himself to be a strong and a good lead. Uh, uh, for the country of russia when you have,
