Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Vlabir Putin is preparing for a longer and more intense
Speaker 3: war on Ukraine. In a speech carried nationally in Russia,
Speaker 3: the president said he will put up three hundred thousand
Speaker 3: military reservists to active duties.
Speaker 4: Vladimir Putin's been pushed into a corner.
Speaker 2: Warning the waist.
Speaker 4: He still has weapons of mass destruction read that as
Speaker 4: nuclear and he's prepared to use them.
Speaker 5: He will use all the means.
Speaker 4: At our disposal to protect Russia and old people. He said,
Speaker 4: this is not a bluff.
Speaker 6: Wow wow, wow. Seriously putin nukes. The n word not
Speaker 6: cool man, not cool, That's America's word to use. He
Speaker 6: does sound serious though. You heard him. You hear what
Speaker 6: he said. He said, this is not bluff. Will to
Speaker 6: be fair. This is not a bluff. Is what someone
Speaker 6: who's bluffing would say. Yeah, it wouldn't be very effective
Speaker 6: if it was, like a well, nuke entire world. But
Speaker 6: I am bluffing, so don't worry. By the way, I
Speaker 6: know this is random, but I found it funny that
Speaker 6: he has the two landlines behind him and the victor. No,
Speaker 6: I mean, like I get the one the one. Maybe
Speaker 6: that's for like the nuclear codes. But what's the other
Speaker 6: line for? Right? Is he also like a part time telemarketers.
Speaker 6: It's like mister anthrowbov, I'm preparing for nuclear war, which
Speaker 6: is why in life insurance is very important. Right now?
Speaker 4: Could Ian throw docil to it?
Speaker 1: Who am?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 6: One of the most frustrating things about this war is
Speaker 6: that the only reason it's still going on is because
Speaker 6: Vladimir Putin is trying to save face, right he he
Speaker 6: just doesn't want to be seen to be losing. And
Speaker 6: it made me wonder, do you think Putin knows how
Speaker 6: to lose? Like? Do you think he knows how? Because
Speaker 6: think about it, The dude plays an annual hockey game
Speaker 6: where the Russian team lets him score thirty two goals? Right,
Speaker 6: He somehow wins the judo contest against professionals every year,
Speaker 6: So it actually wouldn't surprise me that he can't accept
Speaker 6: the concept that he can lose. You know. It's almost
Speaker 6: like when parents let their kids win everything and when
Speaker 6: they're like, wow, Billy, you ran so fast. You win again.
Speaker 6: Then the kid grows up thinking that losing isn't the
Speaker 6: part of life, all right. That's why when I raised
Speaker 6: my four year old nephew last weekend, I smoked his
Speaker 6: ass bam left him in the dust death. Then I
Speaker 6: gave him a rematch and I smoked his ass again.
Speaker 6: I mean, yes, he cried, Yes he cried, but you
Speaker 6: know what he won't do? Invade Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Russia has invaded Ukraine.
Speaker 8: Why is this happening? What does it mean?
Speaker 1: Where is Hillary Clinton's email server? Well, I've been watching
Speaker 1: Fox News for six hundred and forty eight hours straight
Speaker 1: and I'm ready to Fox Lane.
Speaker 8: Why did Putin babe Ukraine?
Speaker 1: The answer is complex, but let me try to explain Bereizma,
Speaker 1: critical race gender, Minnie Mouse and a pants suit. Don't
Speaker 1: believe me, take a look inside the gender neutral bathroom
Speaker 1: in Hunter Biden's laptop. This is happening because President Biden
Speaker 1: is weak. When Donald Trump was president, Putin didn't meddle
Speaker 1: in Ukraine. He meddled in America. Puton is strong and
Speaker 1: Biden is weak. America needs a strong leader. By the way,
Speaker 1: why are we supposed to think that Vladimir Putin is evil?
Speaker 1: He's not the one poisoning our children with critical race suit.
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin is evil? I've always said that I have
Speaker 1: never said that Vladimir Putin is a handsome genius with
Speaker 1: the hotties' body. Let me be clear, Vladimir Putin is
Speaker 1: a handsome genius with the haughtys body.
Speaker 8: He is a tyrannical leader.
Speaker 1: He was not democratically elected, and he alone is responsible
Speaker 1: for this.
Speaker 8: I'm talking about Joe Biden. If that isn't clear, we
Speaker 8: need to.
Speaker 1: Do far more to support our allies in Yugoslavia, Ukraine.
Speaker 8: You know it hits all this crisis in minutes. I vermectin.
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin is evil, but in some ways he's a hero.
Speaker 8: But in more ways he's.
Speaker 1: A villain, a strong villain, a patriot, a tyrant. Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin wrote a bail He's evil, though yet subjective. Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin supports Trump. I also support Trump. Does that make
Speaker 1: me Vladimir Putin? Russia is basically being canceled. First, mister
Speaker 1: Potato hut, now mister Putin head. And that's pretty much
Speaker 1: all you need to know about the Ukraine situation. According
Speaker 1: to Fox News, NATO's run by Vampire.
Speaker 9: Are you a conservative who praised Vladimir Putin and now
Speaker 9: wish you hadn't. Then you need tyron all, the drug
Speaker 9: that makes you forget you applauded a tyrant who is
Speaker 9: now slaughtering civilians. This miracle pill can help you go
Speaker 9: from this.
Speaker 6: It might be worth asking why do I hate Putin
Speaker 6: so much?
Speaker 1: Going on in the conflict between a Kranin and Russia.
Speaker 1: Why shouldn't I root for Russia?
Speaker 8: Which I am?
Speaker 6: To this, Vladimir Putin started this war. He is to
Speaker 6: blame what we're seeing tonight in Ukraine.
Speaker 9: Incredible tyranny al works by invading your sovereign mind and
Speaker 9: attacking any previously held memories or beliefs. Just listen to this,
Speaker 9: satisfied customer.
Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin is a very talented statesman. I consider him
Speaker 3: a elegantly sophisticated counterpart.
Speaker 8: We've seen a Russian dictator now terrorize the Ukrainian people.
Speaker 9: And if you've been praising Putin for years, then try
Speaker 9: tyrannal extended release.
Speaker 3: Putin has done an amazing job.
Speaker 6: Putin has much better leadership qualities than Obama.
Speaker 8: President Putin was extremely strong and powerful. President Putin is shocked.
Speaker 2: He's a guy, he's very savvy.
Speaker 6: I know him very well, you have not only putin
Speaker 6: you of other people that are stone called murders and
Speaker 6: thugs and dictators that are very dangerous.
Speaker 9: Tyrannal extended release is not one hundred percent effective. Tyrannyl
Speaker 9: may cause side effects, including permanent resting, constipation face in
Speaker 9: some patients. It's time to stop regretting and start forgetting
Speaker 9: tyronl out with the vlad In with the good He.
Speaker 1: Can a leader be too perfect? He's a superhero, He's
Speaker 1: some kind of superman for us. Can his flawless intellect
Speaker 1: don unmatched strength make him somehow more than a man?
Speaker 1: At what point does a mortal lead become a living god?
Speaker 9: Will I be sitting here.
Speaker 10: Till I'm one hundred years old?
Speaker 1: This is the daily showography of Vladimir Putin. Democracy is
Speaker 1: super soar. Vladimir Vladimirvich Putin grew up with everything a
Speaker 1: Soviet child could ever want. Communal housing and that's it.
Speaker 10: We lived in a small room, all three of us,
Speaker 10: and it could mune, batmant and landingrids with no private facilities.
Speaker 1: We didn't even have our own bath or show. It
Speaker 1: was all the fun of a college dorm, but with
Speaker 1: way more drinking.
Speaker 2: From birth.
Speaker 1: Greatness was in his blood. His father was a party member,
Speaker 1: and his grandfather was a cook for Joseph Stalin, giving
Speaker 1: Vladimir access to all the flavors of Soviet Russia, from
Speaker 1: bland to cold to gray. It was a movie that
Speaker 1: set Putin on his life's path. The Shield and the Sword,
Speaker 1: about a dashing Soviet spy, inspired him to join the KGB.
Speaker 8: He'd be the.
Speaker 1: Russian James Bond, meaning the guy trying to kill James Bond.
Speaker 1: By nineteen eighty five, Putin was a lieutenant colonel in
Speaker 1: the KGB, stationed in glamorous East Germany. But in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty nine, tragedy struck. A crowd of Germans, driven mad
Speaker 1: by the decadent Western influences of Coca cola and blue
Speaker 1: gen descended upon the Berlin Wall. They smashed it to bits,
Speaker 1: and then, looking for more souvenirs they could later sell
Speaker 1: to history nerds, they gathered around Cuyton's stations. The Berlin
Speaker 1: Wall might have fallen, but a great man does not
Speaker 1: crumble so easily. Putin ran to the basement and set
Speaker 1: all the KGB's documents on firemen. Then he went outside
Speaker 1: and told the crowd. They would be shot if they
Speaker 1: didn't need. What an honor for those Germans to be
Speaker 1: there for the future leader's first death threat. Through his
Speaker 1: heroic actions that day, Putin survived, but sadly the Soviet
Speaker 1: Union did not.
Speaker 7: When I say that the fall of the USSR was
Speaker 7: one of the greatest catastrophes of the twentieth century, I'm
Speaker 7: talking about a humanitarian catastrophe above all. After the dissolution
Speaker 7: of the USSR, twenty five million Russians suddenly found themselves
Speaker 7: in a foreign country.
Speaker 1: That's right, millions of Russians had to order whole new
Speaker 1: address labels. With the downfall of communism really worth that,
Speaker 1: but Russia and Putin persevered. Under the steady leadership of
Speaker 1: the incredibly competent Boris Yelsen. Putin rose through the political ranks,
Speaker 1: eventually becoming Prime Minister. The Russian public wanted to know
Speaker 1: who was this young and objectively perfect man. To answer that,
Speaker 1: Putin commissioned a documentary about his life, just like Beyonce,
Speaker 1: and Putin's film was even cooler.
Speaker 9: He commissioned this rarely seen documentary about himself, presenting Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 10: The credits read in Power.
Speaker 2: Weirdly, the soundtrack is from the Broadway show Caps.
Speaker 1: It was, without question, the second most disturbing movie ever
Speaker 1: to feature songs from Cats. In nineteen ninety nine, Boris
Speaker 1: Yeltsen abruptly resigned from the presidency to spend more time
Speaker 1: with his drinking problem, and Putin became the second elected
Speaker 1: and first permanent president of Russia. He proved himself not
Speaker 1: just a formidable head of state, but a man of
Speaker 1: many talents, a beast master, an adventurer, a sportsman, and
Speaker 1: a born entertainer. Damn, Vladimir Putin is truly a quadruple
Speaker 1: threat quintuple if one of the threats is making actual threats.
Speaker 1: But most of all, President Putin is a protector of
Speaker 1: Russia's fragile democracy. Ooh do business, sweet machine, new style
Speaker 1: he needs, gives me dussin so you only takes so
Speaker 1: seriously that every election he does whatever is necessary to
Speaker 1: stop inferior candidates from winning. For this devotion, his citizens
Speaker 1: have rewarded him with the presidency again and again, but
Speaker 1: literally unbelievable margins.
Speaker 6: Vladimir Putin will lead Russia for another six years.
Speaker 4: He cruised to.
Speaker 3: An expected victory in yesterday's presidential election, winning nearly seventy
Speaker 3: seven percent of the vote.
Speaker 6: Check this brazen ballot stuff and caught on camera.
Speaker 10: In these videos verified by the AP, voters seem to
Speaker 10: insert multiple ballots.
Speaker 2: One election official appears to stroll over toolbox stuff it, while.
Speaker 1: No one in the room seems to mind. Yes, Putin
Speaker 1: respects people's right to vote so much that he lets
Speaker 1: them vote two, three, or seventy eight times in the
Speaker 1: same election. It wasn't all smooth sailing book. One time,
Speaker 1: Putin briefly had to let a friend be president for
Speaker 1: him until he could run again, and then he had
Speaker 1: to make a tiny change to the constitution so he
Speaker 1: could run again, again and again. As Russia has thrived,
Speaker 1: so has the man who embodies it. For his steadfast
Speaker 1: commitment to fighting corruption, Russian oligarchs and energy executives have
Speaker 1: gifted Putin with tens of billions of dollars.
Speaker 10: My personal suspicion is that certainly mister Peutin is the
Speaker 10: richest man in Europe, possibly on the planet.
Speaker 5: Bunny Mother, and that money would come in handy when
Speaker 5: unexpected expenses cropped up, like secretly buying a luxury apartment
Speaker 5: in Monaco for a totally random woman.
Speaker 1: And yes, one media outlet claimed that the woman was
Speaker 1: Putin's mistress, but that's ridiculous. Putin was happily married at
Speaker 1: the time, and also that media outlet has since been outlawed. Besides,
Speaker 1: these rumors are completely unfair to the woman's daughter, who's unknown,
Speaker 1: for there must be very proud of her and her
Speaker 1: face that looks absolutely nothing like Vladimir Putin. Of course,
Speaker 1: even a perfect country has some malcontents. But whenever those
Speaker 1: seeking to undermine Putin's streak of uncorrupt democracy begin to
Speaker 1: circle him like bloodthirsty sharks, somehow, some way, fate always
Speaker 1: intervenes on his behalf. There seems, for some reason to
Speaker 1: be an extremely high mortality rate among independent journalists and
Speaker 1: political opponents of mister Putin.
Speaker 2: President Putin dismissed accusations that the Russian state was behind
Speaker 2: the attack on mist In the blame. If our agents
Speaker 2: had wanted to kill him, he said, they have finished
Speaker 2: the job. Is Russia behind the poisoning of Serge Skufal?
Speaker 7: Look, we're busy here with agriculture, and you ask me
Speaker 7: about some tragedies.
Speaker 10: Get in to the bottom of things. There first, then
Speaker 10: we'll talk about this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why did that anyone ever ask Putin about his
Speaker 1: agriculture programs? Like these new bananas he's working on that
Speaker 1: grow with the poison already inside them. Sure, it's true
Speaker 1: that some of Putin's critics meant untimely ends. But on
Speaker 1: the other hand, let's move on. We should be talking
Speaker 1: about agriculture. Naturally, a true champion of democracy doesn't just
Speaker 1: want it for his own country. He wants it for
Speaker 1: all people, which is why Putin began tirelessly assisting with
Speaker 1: elections around the world, sending his digital democracy helpers to
Speaker 1: gently nudge voters in the right direction.
Speaker 8: Putin was so.
Speaker 1: Amazing at democracy that in twenty sixteen, even the world
Speaker 1: so called greatest democracy was asking for his help.
Speaker 2: Russia, if you're listening.
Speaker 1: And like the great man he is, Putin answered the
Speaker 1: call tonight.
Speaker 3: Russian President Vladimir Putin trolling the United States, joking about
Speaker 3: meddling in the presidential election and saying he'll do it again.
Speaker 1: You can handle someone's I'll tell you a secret.
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, we'll do it to finally make you happier.
Speaker 1: Just don't tell anyone you know what they said. It
Speaker 1: takes a big man to joke about himself, and an
Speaker 1: even bigger, scarier man to joke about destroying your country.
Speaker 1: That's why in all the world there is no bigger
Speaker 1: man than the Vladimirican. How grateful we are for his
Speaker 1: twenty one year Raine He's guaranteed sixteen year future reign
Speaker 1: and if we should be so fortunate, his one hundred
Speaker 1: year reign after that.
Speaker 6: My guest tonight, if Ukraine's representative to the United Nations,
Speaker 6: he's here to talk about Russia's war in Ukraine. Welcome, ambassador,
Speaker 6: Sir hey kis Litia. Ambassador, welcome to the dinner show.
Speaker 10: Well, thank you, thank you for inviting me.
Speaker 6: You have a rarely positioned, a really interesting position, and
Speaker 6: a difficult undertaking right now because you are representing Ukraine
Speaker 6: at the U N and Ukraine is in one of
Speaker 6: the most precarious positions right now. Before we get into
Speaker 6: where we are, let's maybe clear up the beginning. How
Speaker 6: did this start and what is the cause of what
Speaker 6: we're seeing in Ukraine?
Speaker 10: Well, do you want a long story or you want
Speaker 10: a short version?
Speaker 6: I guess we're on the.
Speaker 10: Version three hundreds right, three hundred years. But the short
Speaker 10: one is Putting came to power and he probably promised
Speaker 10: himself that he would restore the Soviet Empire. And ever since,
Speaker 10: we are in the state of war, and now we
Speaker 10: are in the state of hot war. I mean, actually
Speaker 10: the war started not on the fourth or February, started
Speaker 10: back in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 6: And you're in a position now where as you said,
Speaker 6: I like that you call it a hot war because
Speaker 6: it's a war that you know, people can see very clearly.
Speaker 6: There are many people who are being killed, there are
Speaker 6: tanks rolling in. It's a different type of war though,
Speaker 6: because everybody agrees that Ukraine isn't the right everybody agrees
Speaker 6: that Russia is doing something wrong. And yet because of
Speaker 6: Russia being Russia, it seems like the United Nations and
Speaker 6: many other countries are scared to overact for fear of
Speaker 6: causing a world war. How do you then ask for
Speaker 6: help and what do you hope will be achieved if countries,
Speaker 6: you know, have to balance this precarious position.
Speaker 10: Well, I think that as a matter of fact, for
Speaker 10: me or we are already in the Third World War,
Speaker 10: which may be quit of crazy to say, but the
Speaker 10: twenty first century is not the twentieth century where we
Speaker 10: have these standard wars, we stanks crossing the borders. So
Speaker 10: we are in the hybrid world and you don't really
Speaker 10: need to cross the border to attack the United States.
Speaker 10: You can do that in the cyber space, you know,
Speaker 10: or you can do like a terrorism or financial terrorism.
Speaker 10: So basically we are there in the United Nations, and
Speaker 10: the United Nations is a product of three old gentlemen,
Speaker 10: among which were Joseph Stalin. So it's not perfect, and
Speaker 10: we still in the hundreds days of the war, we
Speaker 10: still have Russia sitting in front of us, and we
Speaker 10: still pretend that we have to respect it. And the
Speaker 10: only reason we respect Russian Federation is because well, I
Speaker 10: do not respect, but they have to respect. That's a
Speaker 10: very important correction, because they possessed the nuclear arsenal and
Speaker 10: they are really paranoid that Russia may use nukes against them.
Speaker 6: So is your argument then that Russia shouldn't be sitting
Speaker 6: as one of those permanent members of the UN.
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, Russia is not a permanent member
Speaker 10: if you ask me, I mean Russia occupied the seat
Speaker 10: of the Soviet Union back in nineteen ninety one. The
Speaker 10: same way the Russia occupied Georgia the same way Russia
Speaker 10: occupied transmits in Moldova, the same way Russia invaded Syria.
Speaker 10: So Russia occupies, occupies, occupies, and we are all complacent
Speaker 10: with that. I mean, we were complacent with that until
Speaker 10: the night of the twenty third, and all of a
Speaker 10: sudden we were surprised as it happened, I mean, which
Speaker 10: was imminent for thirty years.
Speaker 6: But do you think that maybe this has been you know,
Speaker 6: everything in hindsight is twenty twenty, you know, and I've read,
Speaker 6: you know, some historians who would argue that, you know,
Speaker 6: there could have been a way for the world to
Speaker 6: bring Russia into the fold from the very beginning. Some
Speaker 6: say the problem was the fact that Russia was pushed out.
Speaker 6: Russia felt like they were being isolated. It felt like
Speaker 6: nature was encroaching on their territory. If Putin was brought
Speaker 6: into the fault, he would have had a vested interest
Speaker 6: in being part of the world. Do you see any
Speaker 6: credence in that argument.
Speaker 10: Well, you know, I saw many kriminal knowledgists of Sovietologists
Speaker 10: they are called often, and they are too old with
Speaker 10: their vision over the world, the same way like Germany
Speaker 10: was too old with north Stream. You know, they saw
Speaker 10: the world through the tunnel of north Stream, and we
Speaker 10: were all of us, we were guilty of leatin. Putin
Speaker 10: grow as a dictator of unprecedented scale in Europe, probably
Speaker 10: Hitler or only the one who can compare him with. No.
Speaker 10: I don't believe in the appisment. I believe in the need
Speaker 10: to fight the virus. And Russian Putinism is the same
Speaker 10: as Corvid. But it's only the international politics called it,
Speaker 10: you know.
Speaker 6: Right right, and and it is taking its toll as well.
Speaker 6: You know, your your your country is in a position
Speaker 6: now where every day we read about how Russia is
Speaker 6: changing its tactics. You know, it's slowly becoming a war
Speaker 6: of attrition as opposed to a direct assault. You know,
Speaker 6: Ukraine has inspired the world and how and how you're
Speaker 6: fighting back. You know, your your president has been there,
Speaker 6: staying in the country, you know, despite what everyone thought
Speaker 6: he would do. When you get to the point though,
Speaker 6: where it feels like European nations are almost encouraging Ukraine
Speaker 6: to in some way, you know, give up a piece
Speaker 6: of territory. You see many European nations saying, Ukraine, maybe
Speaker 6: you should just give them the Donbas region. Just give
Speaker 6: them that part that has already expressed some sort of
Speaker 6: interest in becoming part of Russia. You have said that
Speaker 6: is a complete non start.
Speaker 10: Why yeah, it's absolutely I mean, unless everybody is amnesiac.
Speaker 10: You know. Let me remind it what happened in nineteen
Speaker 10: thirty eight when Hitler signed a Munich agreement with Chamberlain.
Speaker 10: The New York Times literally literally ran an article and
Speaker 10: I can quote from it the world has never been
Speaker 10: pregnant with hope as it is now. And then what happened.
Speaker 10: Czechoslovakia lost one fifth of its territory, the Nazi troops
Speaker 10: moved in, and then in less than twelve months, the
Speaker 10: Second World War started and the whole Czechoslovakia was invaded.
Speaker 10: So basically, if people are not very cognizant of the
Speaker 10: history lessons, they have to go back to school, I think.
Speaker 10: And they said, you, you of all of us to
Speaker 10: make them study the history.
Speaker 6: Are you worried that European countries may at some point
Speaker 6: say this is too much for us, And we don't
Speaker 6: know if we're going to back Ukraine through this, because
Speaker 6: we've seen again through history, Russia is not afraid to
Speaker 6: fight long, painful wars. You know, it seems like Vladimir
Speaker 6: Putin's on a plate to send his troops out onto
Speaker 6: the front lines and have them perish because he doesn't
Speaker 6: have to worry about an election that he's losing. You know,
Speaker 6: approval is not his issue. And so if you're in
Speaker 6: that position, you know, Ukraine is in a space where
Speaker 6: you have your your your people who may get demoralized.
Speaker 6: You know, you have a nation that is constantly bombarded.
Speaker 6: You know, obviously the US is helping you. But but
Speaker 6: what would you hope the next steps would be. Then
Speaker 6: where do you see the world moving towards to help Ukraine?
Speaker 10: Well, forever, you just came from Europe onto you, right
Speaker 10: did Yeah, yeah, you see, so it was your own
Speaker 10: eyes that Europe is not really a homogeneous It's so diverse.
Speaker 10: It's like a bouquet of nations. Right, So it would
Speaker 10: be kind of over a generalization to say that Europe
Speaker 10: believes Europe says, I mean, we have wonderful, wonderful nations
Speaker 10: like Poland, like the UK, like Portugal. Just to talk
Speaker 10: to the Portuguese pasta, like Baltic states. They will fight
Speaker 10: hard until the very end to defeat the Russian despotism.
Speaker 10: You know, we have some countries that got used to
Speaker 10: live in comfort for so long that they're out of
Speaker 10: context altogether. But the thing is that if we do
Speaker 10: not defeat Putinism today, right, if we will be satisfied
Speaker 10: with just a military defeat of Russia in Ukraine and
Speaker 10: we will let this dictator to regrow his chopped back claws,
Speaker 10: they will hit all of you again, like in five
Speaker 10: or seven years from now, and then we all paid
Speaker 10: triple price for it. So even from the point of
Speaker 10: view of investing money in Ukrainian victory, investing money in
Speaker 10: Ukrainian victory is investing money in your own security, and
Speaker 10: you should be all grateful that it is the Ukrainian soldiers,
Speaker 10: not the British soldiers, not the American soldiers, who are
Speaker 10: dying in the front, defending the collective democratic world, you know.
Speaker 10: So I have to remind about that to all of
Speaker 10: our viewers and to all people in Europe and North America,
Speaker 10: and not only there, I have to bind all Africans
Speaker 10: who will suffer from the food shortages in two months
Speaker 10: from now.
Speaker 6: A lot of people don't know about that, you know,
Speaker 6: I I so many people complaining about food prices going up.
Speaker 6: Many people in the Middle Eastern Africa struggling with you know,
Speaker 6: a shortage of wheat and bread is you know, exactly
Speaker 6: the most important food sources. Many people don't know how
Speaker 6: much of that grain is coming from Ukraine. For the
Speaker 6: entire world.
Speaker 10: There are countries, there are countries that are seventy percent
Speaker 10: dependent on Ukrainian grain, and those countries are devastates with
Speaker 10: civil wars, or with drafts, or with climate calamities, have
Speaker 10: no way to go on the market and buy grain
Speaker 10: from somewhere else. So I mean, for them, it is
Speaker 10: a matter of survival. And the fact is that we
Speaker 10: have twenty one million tons of grains sitting to be exploded,
Speaker 10: and we can't do that because one crazy little person
Speaker 10: in Kremlin does not really allow us to do that,
Speaker 10: you know. And that's amazing. I mean, that's amazing, and
Speaker 10: one of the jobs we have to do. One of
Speaker 10: the things we are doing currently in the United Nations,
Speaker 10: we are desperately seeking the way how to save millions
Speaker 10: of people who are literally under the threat of dying
Speaker 10: of servation ten thousand miles away from Ukraine, you know,
Speaker 10: And that is why this conflict has so many implications
Speaker 10: that unlike in twenty fourteen, where when we were all
Speaker 10: happy to have one hundred nations voting in favor of
Speaker 10: the territorial integrity of Ukraine, we now have overwhelming majority.
Speaker 10: We have one with forty one nations that voted on
Speaker 10: the second of March and that identify Russia as an
Speaker 10: aggressive state. You know, there were only four countries, such
Speaker 10: wonderful countries as North Korea and Syria who voted in
Speaker 10: support of Russia, you know, and it's very important. It's
Speaker 10: very important because the world finally understood that it's not
Speaker 10: just about Ukraine, It's about the entire collective, democratic community
Speaker 10: of nations.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much for joining us about Thank.
Speaker 5: You for inviting.
