but in fact its de- matthew bryce , secretary of state of the united states, and mark feigin , ex-deputy of the state duma, a member of the russian opposition in emigration, will talk about this and the other on our broadcast, now on the espresso tv channel will work matthew-bryza extracts of the secretary of state of the united states former director of european and eurasian affairs in case of national security of the usa glory to ukraine dear mr. ambassadors i welcome you on the air of the espressova tv channel 7 zinna's visit to russia we understand that there is a formal part there is an informal part so we understand that there were certain statements were made , but the key story is what xi jinping and putin could actually just talk about and agree on, and what, accordingly, putin could ask from china. we also plus or minus guess

about military aid, financial aid and not only, but here is another key story: did the insinpin want to receive something from putin, we do not know because there were no such plausible applications, except for the usual joint statement on this issue, which did not say anything concrete. so, washington was waiting for any what are china's calls for a ceasefire in ukraine at a time when russian troops occupied so much of ukrainian territory and did not say a word about it, nor is there any official statement about energy cooperation, in particular about power it seems that the goal of president putin at this meeting was to obtain a commitment to continue the construction of this huge gas pipeline, but we have not heard anything about it, except that china and russia have a strong dominion, so i must say that the very fact that the family came to moscow shows that it is difficult for china to play the role of a mediator, if china at least had the intention to do so, then sieden-pin would have to come to kyiv and meet with president zelensky

, zbigniew brzezinski's prophecy about a possible the creation of a large cooperation between russia, china and iran is starting to be realized, and we understand that this is an extremely dangerous scenario from the other side, how much salt , jingle, foam, how much will china be ready to do this great global literally rooking on the chessboard, at the moment it is too early to talk about the realization of a prediction about the creation of a kind of strategic triangle between iran, russia and china, since it is not clear what goals china is pursuing, it is obvious that russia also wants it, iran desperately wants it to increase their trade with russia with china they will see who but what i don't understand so this is the ambition of china as we have already discussed xi jinping went to moscow this means that china is inclined to support russia in this war but if you look at i am sure we

will talk about it later the 12 -point peace formula regarding russia's invasion of ukraine, which china recently made public, the initiative itself does not necessarily indicate support for russia , the fact that china acted as a mediator in the established peace or restored normalized relations between the saudi arabia and iran, in my opinion, does not mean that china is taking sides. on the contrary, it means that china behaves or tries to behave independently, otherwise saudi arabia would not allow china to play the role of a mediator, and all because china is looking for benefits for itself, not for russia or iran. i think that between russia and china, there is still some tension in the relations regarding central asia, this tension is only growing. so now the main point is that china is increasing its influence in the middle east

, central asia is probably trying to to do in europe, acting as a mediator between ukraine and russia, russia is now in a situation where it is becoming a raw material addition to the chinese economy. i don't know how far this process will go, but in any case, we understand what russia needs from china. russia needs to provide certain possible international guarantees in particular, through the organization of the united nations and councils , at the same time, russia needs economic assistance . russian raw materials will be laundered passing through the chinese economy and so on. putin also needs weapons, he needs military support for his army . how far do you think china will be willing to go to meet

putin 's demands? that beijing shows no signs of readiness to do so, it could do so at any time , while many chinese companies appear to want to try to avoid sanctions from the united states states and the european union this leads me to believe that the bikinis are acting cautiously because the chinese government and especially qin ping do not want to be seen as those who fully support russia, but china is happy to sell certain goods, especially computer chips, which russia cannot where they do not want to get russia needs to restore its armaments and china is happy to buy russian oil at a significant discount in the interests of china, so china's position is quite understandable. returning to china's peace initiative in the usa and europe , the main attention was focused on the fact that china is inclined to support russia because it is calling for a ceasefire, but if you look carefully at the city, it says

that china hopes for a de-escalation of tensions and eventually a ceasefire, which can be interpreted as china saying we understand that ukraine needs to continue fighting for some time to fulfill the first point of our peace formula, support the territorial integrity of states and not interfere in their internal affairs, so i think that everyone is now carefully weighing how much benefit china can get for itself in the economic and in the strategic plan, if he gives putin some of what he wants, but everyone is clearly not going to give him everything he wants. well, in general , as far as i understand putin's dilemma is quite simple and in everyone's conversations, of course, i am primitivizing and vulgarizing. his vision of this formula of the russian-chinese agreement or arrangement. therefore, putin needs something to keep him in power, and xi jinping made

an extremely eloquent gesture. all zenping said that the russian people would rather support putin in the following presidential elections, well, there will be no elections in russia, we understand that putin will re-appoint himself, this is one moment, the second moment, rather, putin could have told him, ok , then we need ukraine. and if you need russia and russian resources, they can be yours. the main economic agreement between china and russia is in the fact that russia actually needs china to continue buying their energy carriers and china needs cheap supplies , so it is about mutual interest that actually has nothing to do with the territory of ukraine i think that everyone is saying ok, volodymyr, take as much ukraine as you want, because he still hasn't done it. this is an extremely important point, on the other hand , officials, i would like to ask you about

the so-called chinese peace plan, it seems to exist and at the same time it does not exist. in reality although i rather, i am more than convinced that putin and xi jinping discussed the chinese vision and the russian vision, in particular about possible scenarios, and since i participated in the preparation of such a statement regarding other conflicts , say after the russian invasion of georgia or even before that , i see certain hints in the text about china's motivation . so, the most important element that is not in the text is a call to russia to withdraw its troops from all of ukraine. vladimir putin, other elements of the formula also implicitly criticize russia and call on its children in a different way. again, as

i already mentioned, the chinese peace plan covers the fundamental international legal principle of the territorial integrity of states and their sovereignty as well as vladimir putin knows that putin grossly violated this basic principle of international law and the un charter with his unprovoked invasion of ukraine, which began back in 2014, so considering that this is the first point of the peace plan, we conclude that xi jinping does not blindly support putin , but now he understands that in order to achieve a just peace, of course, russia must withdraw its troops from ukraine, because otherwise russia will violate the territorial integrity of ukraine, so this is very subtle the formulation of the position on the open invasion of russia into ukraine would be much better if the chinese came forward and frankly said that russia should withdraw its troops from there

. it would be possible to go on to condemn the threat of using nuclear weapons and undermining the security of nuclear power plants. these are important components of criticism of russia's behavior and that it is important to call for a ceasefire is not part of the plan, in fact , this is not a call for an immediate ceasefire, but rather for a reduction in tensions and a gradual movement towards a ceasefire if everyone wanted simply support russia 100%, he would say that we are calling for an immediate ceasefire and the troops must remain in ukraine, wherever they are, but this is not what the formula is about, it is about a gradual reduction of tension and eventually achieving a ceasefire, which means that everyone understands that ukraine will continue the struggle or return its territories that are currently occupied by russia, so i am not so pessimistic about the chinese peace

initiative, but this is not yet a plan, but only a statement of principles that should be discussed between the parties to formulate a real peace plan, this war of russia against ukraine is not a war of a political plan, it is a war of a non-territorial plan, it is already an existential war of russia against ukraine, unfortunately, putin raised the stakes so high. i do not know in what way it would be possible to influence the de-escalation with on the russian side, on the other hand, we also have to be aware that if there was no joint statement or no agreed joint plan spoken between putin and xizenpin, it means that they either did not agree or agreed on all this in reality. as you said existential war for ukraine that is what putin calls it, and therefore it is a genocidal war in an attempt to destroy ukraine as a country and also in the way he is waging a war killing

the civilian population. so it is a genocidal war and you need to constantly think about it. that is because if russia, god forbid, achieves success, it will of course be a huge tragedy for ukraine and also for all of us, because georgia will be the next moldova of the baltic countries. i am sure , although i have never talked to xi jinping , that he does not want a war of extermination on the territory of ukraine. china has strong trade deals are not with ukraine, besides, everyone knows that if putin is left to float freely, he will expand the horizons of the war, can use nuclear weapons and create mass instability , to put it mildly, not to mention the catastrophe in all of europe. and china really wants to have strong trade relations with europe china has its expansionist ambitions in the eastern and indo -pacific regions from the chinese point of view it is simply restoring its

territorial integrity by returning taiwan in our view - it would also be an aggressive war, and yet china is not interested in mass catastrophes in ukraine and most of europe, so president zelensky is in an extremely difficult situation , in fact, i would like to ask you about the possibility of a scenario of correct behavior on the part of our top political and military leadership, so on the one hand, an endless international the perimeter of the negotiations , which can continue for many years without ending with anything from the other side, the possibility that zinping will put forward certain formal or informal proposals from the other side we understand that there is a clear position of the president of the united states, the state department, and so on, that is, america also has its position, the answer is simple success on the battlefield, war, as we have already said many times, is a continuation of politics by other means, from this it follows that

military success also generates diplomatic success, as we all know putin hopes that the usa, europe, canada and japan will lose patience and attention to ukraine. i think that putin is praying that donald trump will be re-elected as the president of the usa and that he will stop supporting ukraine this is the worst that can happen that has so is that ukraine will launch its military offensive that will be successful will push back the russian troops immediately will put putin in a situation where it will be absolutely clear that he cannot win that there is no chance that he will ever win on the battlefield white the house of washington constantly declares, like the allies , that they should continue to support ukraine , provide it with the necessary military assistance and help prepare for the moment when serious negotiations will take place, when

the diplomatic path can be successful and when the world is actually listening to ukraine's point of view, i am convinced that the world is listening to ukraine's position of course there are selfish businessmen who want the war to end and that they can go back to buying russian natural gas and oil in germany as well they are completely discredited ukraine enjoys strong support from all its friends, allies and for the sake of those allies , it is necessary to win a decisive series of victories on the battlefield this spring, dear ambassador bryza. yes, we understand that one was an extremely important symbolic moment putin in front of everyone, dwinpin found himself in the honorable status of criminals wanted by the international criminal court, such a similar status at one time had the duffy brand, and not only do i not think that president putin will ever be arrested if he finds himself in a country that is a member of the international criminal court, and i consider it a shame that the usa never signed

the rome statute and did not make themselves a party to it then the us undermines the value or meaning of recognizing putin as a war criminal this is a huge humiliation and the only response maria zakharova in the russian foreign ministry is that she is not a party to the international criminal court and its conclusions mean nothing to them, but they know what a huge condemnation and shame it is for all of russia . it cannot be denied from the russian people that their president was recognized as a war criminal by the international criminal court criminal, or at least received such an accusation, so i think that the practical effect is to further weaken putin politically and geopolitically and thus strengthen the moral position of ukraine, which then has

translate into further economic, political, and military support of ukraine from its friends, on the other hand, we understand that putin is not going to back down, well, at least it looks like he won't do it, but the question is how much will become of his available resources , taking into account the fact that he is gradually beginning to develop and activate his defense industry. yes, we understand that russia is preparing, perhaps, for some kind of longer protracted military scenario. putin will wage war against ukraine as long as he can, and i think that the signals indicate that he is less and less able to do that so he mobilized 300,000 men sent them to the front at the moment of mobilization in september and they could not make any significant progress in the offensive yes they completely destroyed bakhmut but this is not a strategic gain the price was huge and ukraine succeeded surprisingly successfully withdraw all this military power from russia and this will

continue in the future russia will never defeat the ukrainian military and we see that in economic terms the deficit of the russian budget is growing rapidly, they are burning their currency reserves and they are obviously not able to produce more accurate guided missiles that end up similar that's why they repurposed the s300 missiles to terrorize the civilian population of ukraine but they have a number of artillery shells that they continue to use in order to destroy as much of ukraine as possible i think putin will stop when the european union will be able to buy 2 million artillery shells for ukraine when they hit the battlefield and when the us can transfer more equipment to ukraine eventually we will see more fighters after poland dared to brave years handed over its mig-29 and i hope that in the end we will see

the american f16 but regardless of how the situation with fighters develops , more and more powerful western weapons are coming to the arsenal of ukraine, it will take time to undermine putin's wishes continue to fight, but if the usa and its allies continue in the same spirit by providing ukraine with more and more powerful weapons, then in the end putin simply will not be able to continue this war in at some point he will also run out of human resources , not now , but we have to wait, but such a time will definitely come when you thank you, dear sir, choose the embassy for this extremely important conversation on the air of the espresso tv channel. of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the national security council of the united states

gateless america glory to ukraine glory to the heroes now our guest will be mark feigin, a member of the russian opposition on emigration, an ex-deputy state duma iconic video blogger glory to ukraine mark i congratulate you as a hero glory to all, hello viewers channel plus anton well, for a long and boring time they dragged the carcass of sisinpin around russia in their teeth, so for almost three days we met with him and discussed and so on. well, in fact, we saw that russia is definitely becoming a raw material an appendage of china yes, but about the rest of the cases , in particular, about the military affairs and the affairs of the so-called diplomatic settlement, xi jinping remained silent, they were silent about this case in the kremlin too.

conclusions that are possible . -a this was expressed both in public and in public secrets, eh, let's agree, which, in my opinion , took place quite obviously. well, in parallel, he showed strength and power in relation to his vassals to moscow. well, how does the head arrive of a neighboring state, even if someone says that you will elect him next year, it doesn't matter what he is like as the president, it doesn't matter what the circumstances are, and it's not diplomatically permissible from the point of view of a political skepticism, well, let's say

that, er, ethics, if you want morally and politically, he says, he will be, oh, you know, we’re still not going to decide, and so on. well, it’s called turning on the fool. yes , it’s paid late. as they say, of course, yes. well, the owner told you, i’ll leave it here. here it is. and they won't play back here and they won't say that oh no, you know. we are friendly partners and so on. putin himself speaks, we say, we envy you , i envy you, yes , i understand him directly, quotes . the facts of the fact that russia is in power now is a traitor about the chinese party headed by the trigger, they have already ceased to be turned off by the rhetoric of the conversation , you know what we are talking about, well, you know, it is in a mockery . who seems to be prosaic and who is about the chinese? yes, no no, no, this is a concrete statement that teaches that, we talked about

it with you before it became mainstream , so a couple of years ago, before the full-scale russian invasion, and so on. and will absorb a significant part of the so-called russian sovereignty . fake quality, that's even from china peacemaker yes, but nevertheless, just the day before there , a few weeks ago, there was a signed agreement between the tehranians, or poison, yes, the old sworn enemies , and china has not passed away from you. that's what he says, you know, the racks are agreed, it's not worth much , that's all these conversations about the fact that we always mean between the saudi area and tegerah, there are no more contradictions, you know, grandma needs to, you

said. well, nevertheless, the quality is i liked china ponravilsya zemfin it liked it and they will decide the fate of the world in different regions in different parts of the world and here, how would he if he managed to represent himself and further in this, in short, in china for the solution of these international problems as a mediator , they are shocked, they have influence on moscow, in particular , but they are morning, by the way, you also had an almost decisive influence in this issue, and this will be successful, and the fact that, in principle, moscow, yes, and kiev is comprehensible. what gender is kiev? according to his rules, in general, they refused any possibility of peace negotiations, it did not hurt china much, but the visit was smeared because even in the canon of the visit , the date of the visit is not even indicated, the chinese country declared that it will be about peace in ukraine, and the negotiations are work or ukraine, you are the rest of the questions have long been resolved about the atasco-self-liquidation of the political subject of russia

, the questions in which they discuss it have long been resolved . the company of the vestin company, remember, eh, it ruled india, eh, it was colonial, so the policy of the british empire was offended in this , and somehow the technique was already brought to mind. well , i want to say that we don’t look at them, we didn’t communicate after four, and then there were six. i think they already talked about it behind closed doors, but i think they met there in the evening in the magazine, etc. evidence that there is nothing to discuss, even more so, i was surprised by the fact that putin stated that we were familiar with the plan about whom the chinese are talking about the plan by example. these are the 12 declarative points published by the chinese country on the anniversary. well, there is no plan, this is not a plan - these are principles and the first point will be exhausted in general. everything is

for the recognition of international law , statehood, international recognition of the border . rejectors accept - this is a declaration that must be mandatory for a country such as russia to be a permanent member , and a passion than to ask for the guarantors of this peace and stability and security in the whole world. plan and putin even if the park was promised, well, in particular, i no longer remember whether piskov or someone or ryabkov promised to return, so to speak, after the meeting, we are all zimpin and putin, and if they did not do this, they did not make two points public here or did not agree on anything or agreed on everything and decided to quietly carry out this work, you know what to do quietly , yes, quietly

, nothing. after starting the game , what will it be like if this offensive is successful, sorry, and no chinese plans will be successful, there will be a western plan, an american plan. or will not reach the goals as much as possible, who will probably return to some mediocre piece, i allow it, which will represent russia on its behalf, they will speak for china, america is what they think and they want to solve the global issue and security, but i somehow do not believe that if even under the plan, they assume some kind of general concession in moscow that they want, well, like , let's leave krym partially there, donbass , the rest of the party, we leave there, but the conditions of what ukraine enters are necessary, but it's not pleasant, but no one accepts it here. i don't like the latter's eyes. china, they have pointed out many times that return your lips to the east, return to your region and

solve the problems of your enemy there . they solve and solve problems with north korea alone. why don't you have a stepchild and a hat, yes, to this, how in principle, how does it usually not react, well, nevertheless, this is a position, of course, the request does not want to see china as a negotiator, peacekeeper, etc. чего мира а с другие строны well, really, china has suddenly turned into an equal partner of the west in collective demand. it's not only the usa, it 's all the same, like how china depends on this trade turnover of the usa and, uh, europe, first of all. that's why, at the request of he does not agree with these, of course, tomorrow he is an ally of ukraine, ukraine protects its souvenirs .
