Who blew up nordstream you for sure I was busy that day I mean have you achieved your aims uh no we haven’t achieved our aims yet because one of them is the nazification this means the prohibition of all kinds of Neo-Nazi movements this is one of the problems that we discussed

During the negotiation process which and inul early this year would you be satisfied with the territory that you have now I will finish answering the question you just asked a question about neo-nazism and the nazification look the president of Ukraine visited Canada the story is well known but being

Silenced in the Western Country the Canadian Parliament introduced a man who as the speaker of the parliament said fought against the Russians during the World War II well who fought against the Russians during the World War II Hitler and his accomplices it turned out that this man

Served in the SS troops he personally killed Russians bus and Jews the S troops consisted of Ukrainian nationalists who did this dirty work the president Ukraine stood up with the entire parliament of Canada and applauded this man how can this be imagined the president of Ukraine

Himself by the way is a Jew by nationality really my question is what do you do about it I mean Hitler’s been dead for 80 years Nazi Germany no longer exists and so true and so I think what you’re saying is you want to extinguish or at least control Ukrainian

Nationalism but how how do you do that listen to me your question is very sub and I can tell you what I think do not take offense of course can you imagine a scenario where you sent Russian troops to Poland only in one case if Poland attacks Russia why because we have no

Interest in Poland lvia or anywhere else why would we do that we simply don’t have any interest it’s just threat mongering well the argument I know you know this is that well he invaded Ukraine he has territorial aims across the continent and you’re saying unequivocally you don’t Absolut

It is absolutely out of the question you just don’t have to be any kind of analist it goes against common sense to get involved in some kind of a global war and a global war will bring all Humanity to the brink of Destruction it’s obvious there are certainly means of

Deterrence they have been scaring everyone with us all along so tomorrow Russia will use tactical nuclear weapons tomorrow Russia will use that no the day after tomorrow so what in order to extort additional money from us taxpayers and European taxpayers in the confrontation with Russia in the Ukrainian theater of

War the goal is to weaken Russia as much as possible who blew up nordstream you for sure I was busy that day Nate do you have do uh I did not blow up north stream uh thank you though you personally may have an alibi but the CIA has no such

Alibi do do you have evidence that NATO or CIA did It you know I won’t get into details but people always say in such cases look for someone who is interested but in this case we should not only look for someone who is interested but also for someone who has capabilities because there may be many people interested but not all of

Them are capable of sinking to the bottom of the Baltic Sea and carrying out this explosion these two components should be connected who is interested and who is capable of doing it Services your inel services you would that NATO the US CIA the West did this

Why wouldn’t you present it and win a propaganda victory in the war of propaganda it is very difficult to defeat the United States because the United States controls all the world’s media and many European media the ultimate beneficiary of the biggest European media are American financial institutions don’t you know

That so it is possible to get involved in this work but it is cost prohibitive so to speak we can simply Shine the spotlight on our sources of information and we will not achieve results it is clear to the whole world what happened and even American analysts talk about it

Directly we negotiated with Ukraine inul we agreed he was aware of this moreover the negotiation group leader Mr Aria is his last name I believe still heads the faction of the ruling Party The Party of the president in the Rada he still heads the presidential faction in the Rada the country’s

Parliament he still sits there he even put his preliminary signature on the document I am telling you about but then he publicly stated to the whole world we were ready to sign this document but Mr Johnson then the prime Minister of Great Britain came and dissuaded us from doing

This saying it was better to fight Russia they would give everything needed for us to return what was lost during the clashes with Russia and we agreed with this proposal look his statement has been published he said it publicly can they return to this or not

The question is do they want it or not further on President of Ukraine issued a decree prohibiting negoti with us let him cancel that decree and that’s it we have never refused negotiations indeed Evan gersovitz who’s the Wall Street Journal reporter he’s 32 um and he’s been in prisoned for

Almost a year uh this is a huge story in the United States and I just want to ask you directly without getting into the tales of it or your version of what happened if as a sign of your decency you would be willing to release him to

Us and we’ll bring him back to the United States we have done so many gestures of good willll out of decency that I think we have run out of them we have never seen anyone reciprocate to us in a similar manner however in theory we can say that

That we do not rule out that we can do that if our partners take reciprocal steps when I talk about the partners I first of all refer to special services special services are in contact with one another they are talking about the matter in question there is no taboo to settle

This issue we are willing to solve it but there are certain terms being discussed via special services channels I believe an agreement can be reached
