00:00So we do pay attention when Biden president during the recent four years of being in office
00:10when they stated that they are concerned that Russia had sent a delegation to Nicaragua
00:17or Venezuela because this poses a risk to the United States security.
00:26Biden understands quite well what risks the United States creates for the security of
00:34other states because they have more than 200 military bases in many states and thus they
00:50cannot prevent anyone from having relations with Russia.
00:56This approach has no future and I do hope that the new administration in Washington
01:02will become aware of it.
01:07That is now endorsing its composition and that will take office on the 20th of January.
01:19We never cherish any hopes or illusions, you know, speaking about this or that president
01:26will come and it is going to become better in this respect or in other respect or will
01:33do something else.
01:34We will not do the guesswork.
01:36We will wait and see till the new administration is sure about its policies, is positive about
01:50its policies and sets them forth.
01:52We know that there is the Russophobic bipartisan consensus in the United States and irrespective
01:59of a party allegiance, the ruling elites will promote and pursue their policies or
02:09weakening Russia being their competitor.
02:13As I have said at the start of the press conference, any competitor, any rival, be it Russia, China
02:22or Europe.
02:25So if the message is that we can hear from the new Washington team to restore the dialogue
02:38that was cut off by Washington after the start of a special military operation, if all of
02:43that is in earnest, we will respond positively, but the Americans were the ones to sever the
02:49dialogue.
02:50So the ball is in their courts.
02:56So if they take into account our legitimate interests in Washington, the dialogue will
03:04bear fruits and will not be useless, otherwise things will remain as they are.
03:12So Secretary Blinken is known to publicly upholding the war in Ukraine, basing on the
03:21financial and economic benefits for the United States and many, many lands, arable lands
03:32and mineral reserves of Ukraine long ago were purchased by Western and American corporations.
03:40This is an open secret.
03:41So a multipolar world definitely would take for granted that other Western colleagues
03:52also participate without a doubt.
03:56But how can they position themselves, whether they will get through that psychological loss
04:03of domination that they enjoyed for half a century, all of that depends on their political
04:07culture and their real sound understanding of their place in this real life and their
04:15ability to act accordingly in accordance to their new situation.
04:23To a large extent, Europe also has fallen prey to the policy of the United States to
04:30eliminate all sorts of competitors.
04:32Joseph Borrell, that stepped down recently as the EU foreign policy representative, has
04:46recently stated after his stepping down that the West has not been able to isolate Russia.
04:55Now he's not bound by the official obligations.
04:59And the EU promised to protect Kiev for as long as it took, but nothing is endless.
05:05And he also said that China has substituted Europe and G7.
05:13The Minsk Accords were not an attempt, but a decision of the UN Security Council that
05:19was trampled upon with the connivance of the United States.
05:24And Mr. Poroshenko, then President of Ukraine, signed it, and the former presidents and leaders
05:31of Germany and France, Holland and Merkel, signed it.
05:35And they confessed a couple of years ago they were not going to deliver upon the Minsk arrangements.
05:40Just they played for time to pump Ukraine with arms.
05:45And now all those ideas in the air that are much less binding than the Minsk set of measures
05:53pursue a similar goal of playing for time for that Nazi.
