00:00Please, I am listening to you.
00:03Vladimir Vladimirovich, good afternoon.
00:05The Easter truce has ended.
00:08How would you assess it, and what is its current status?
00:11Has hostilities resumed after the end of this truce?
00:15Hostilities have resumed.
00:17We said so from the very beginning, when we declared the truce.
00:21We always have a positive attitude towards truces.
00:24That is why we came up with such an initiative.
00:26Especially since we are talking about the bright Easter days.
00:32This is a holiday for all Christians.
00:34That is, how it turned out these days, for Catholics, and for Protestants, and for Orthodox Christians.
00:43That is why we have always said, that we have a positive attitude towards any peace initiatives.
00:49We hope, that the representatives of the Kiev regime will have the same attitude towards this.
00:54Although we saw their initial reaction, I think, that everyone noticed it.
01:00A statement was published according to it.
01:03Which our proposal was considered a game with the fates and lives of people, and so on.
01:10But there must have been someone smarter there, most likely foreign curators, who suggested to them.
01:15That rejecting such initiatives was a losing position for the Kiev regime.
01:19And they quickly agreed.
01:20Now we see, that the Kiev regime is trying to seize the initiative, and talk about expanding the framework of the ceasefire, both in time and in terms of targets.
01:38But we must think, of course, and carefully evaluate everything.
01:42We must look at the results.
01:44If you noticed, I said from the very beginning, when I met with the chief of the general staff, that we would see, what the experience of declaring the Easter ceasefire would be.
01:56What does this mean?
01:59In general, we are seeing a decrease in combat activity on the part of the enemy.
02:04This is true.
02:07These are the assessments, including of the commanders of our military groups.
02:11But, nevertheless, there were almost 5,000 violations.
02:15For 1,900 violations, of these,
02:18there were 6 attacks and 90 attempts to strike by aircraft type UVs.
02:26And, in my opinion, for 1,900 artillery attacks.
02:33But overall, there was a decrease in activity.
02:37We welcome this.
02:39And we are ready to look to the future.
02:44As for the proposal not to strike at civilian infrastructure facilities,
02:48this needs to be sorted out.
02:50Well, for example,
02:56everyone is well aware of the strike by our armed forces on the Congress Center,
03:00in my opinion, of Sumy University.
03:02Is it a civilian facility, or not?
03:04It is a civilian facility.
03:07But there was an award ceremony for those
03:09who committed crimes in the Kursk region.
03:13These were units of the Ukrainian army.
03:16These were nationalists.
03:17And these are the people whom we consider criminals,
03:23who should receive deserved retribution for their actions in the border region,
03:27including in the Kursk region.
03:28And they received this retribution.
03:31This was done precisely to punish them.
03:33Is it a civilian object, or not?
03:35But the Kiev regime uses these civilian objects.
03:38Or just recently, a few days ago,
03:43a strike was carried out by our armed forces in the Odessa region.
03:47It is a small settlement in the Odessa region,
03:5082 kilometers, I think, from Odessa.
03:53What kind of facility is this?
03:55It is an agricultural facility.
03:57These are the hangars of an agricultural enterprise.
04:00But they're the Kiev authorities.
04:02Together with foreign curators and assistants,
04:05try to organize not only the production,
04:07but also the testing of a new missile system.
04:10That is, where the strike was carried out.
04:12Is it a civilian facility, or not?
04:14It is a civilian facility,
04:16but it was used for military purposes,
04:18where they hold some kind of gatherings in a restaurant somewhere.
04:22Those people,
04:23who deserve the most serious punishment for the crimes they committed.
04:26That also happened.
04:27In the restaurant they hold gatherings,
04:31meetings,
04:31conferences,
04:32they celebrate something there,
04:33drink vodka,
04:34and so on.
04:35One of the missile strikes was carried out there too.
04:38Is it a civilian facility?
04:39Yes,
04:39it is a civilian object.
04:41But what is the target?
04:42It is a military target.
04:44This needs to be sorted out.
04:45This is all a subject for a thorough study.
04:48Perhaps this needs to be sorted out bilaterally.
04:51As a result of dialogue,
04:52we do not rule this out.
04:56So we will analyze all this.
05:00And we will make appropriate decisions for the future.
05:04Vladimir Vladimirovich,
05:05what is your attitude to the fact
05:07that European officials are already threatening European leaders
05:10regarding their arrival in Moscow for the celebration of May 9th?
05:13Well,
05:14in order to threaten,
05:16you need to have the necessary tools to carry out your threat.
05:20That is the first thing.
05:23And secondly,
05:24you need to be ready to use these forces and means in order to implement them.
05:29Do any European officials have all this?
05:31I do not know.
05:32If the potential of the countries
05:36that stand behind them is limited to 1,300,000 people,
05:43and they call for continuing the war to the last Ukrainian.
05:53Then questions arise about whether this is sincere
05:55and whether such people are in their right minds
05:58when they propose something like this.
05:59But I think that those
06:03who are going to come to Russia
06:10have much more courage
06:11than those who are hiding behind someone's back
06:13and trying to threaten anyone.
06:16First of all,
06:17in this case,
06:18threatening those
06:18who are going to celebrate
06:21the historical merits of people
06:23who gave their lives in the fight against Nazism.
06:25The Vatican has since sad news.
06:29The Pope has died.
06:31You have met with him many times.
06:32You respect each other.
06:33He has come up with various initiatives.
06:36You may remember.
06:37You have already sent a telegram of condolences.
06:39But can you say a few more words about this person,
06:42the Pontiff?
06:42Well, you are right.
06:43This is a person
06:44who had an extremely positive attitude towards Russia.
06:47I can say that for sure.
06:50We met him in person many times.
06:53And we maintained relations through various channels.
06:57This is a man,
06:58I want to emphasize once again,
06:59who had an extremely positive attitude towards Russia.
07:03We will remember this.
07:07The fact
07:07that the Pope passed away precisely during Easter.
07:11I do not know about Catholics.
07:15But Orthodox people have such an understanding.
07:18There is such an internal tradition.
07:21A traditional understanding.
07:24That if the Lord calls a person to himself during Easter,
07:28then this is a special sign.
07:30That the person did not live his life in vain.
07:34He did a lot of good for people.
07:38And the Lord calls him to himself
07:39during these festive Easter days.
07:41I think
07:43that this is how it was.
07:46I mean
07:46that the Pope did a lot
07:49not only for his flock,
07:50but also for the world as a whole.
07:55We offer our deepest condolences
07:56to the entire Christian world.
07:58And, first of all,
07:59of course,
08:00to Catholics.
08:11To the people who they existed,
08:12forget that they were
08:26none of the exclusions.
08:27This is how it was in cur会 interacting with us.
08:29Foriantes peoplemage
08:29have been sy residents
08:30from there.
08:31Well...
