Sergey Lavrov

There are talks between Russia and Hamas in 2006 of March.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in his talks with the Hamas leader Khaled Mashal, calls on Hamas to transform itself into a political organization, recognize Israel's right to exist, and to keep fighting.

previous peace accords.

We know that Hamas did not maybe keep any of those promises.

Yes, of course, we all agree.

Number two, the United States' position seems to recognize the realities on the ground, not just territorial changes, but the choice made by the people living there, says Sergei Lavrov, to which clandestine responds, Sergei says Trump understands the situation on the ground, and Putin has spoken highly of Trump and this administration.

Based on how the Russians are responding and how Trump in the past said that Ukraine would have to give up land, it appears Trump and Putin are somewhat on the same page.

Zelensky is the one saying he wants this war to carry on into the winter, but Trump wants it ended before winter, preferably as soon as possible.

All righty, guys, we've got some more crazy news coming out of Europe.

Germany is allegedly moving toward war with Russia, says the Russian foreign minister Lavrov.

And Katie, I think we've got another another country is talking about the same thing.

Interestingly, this there's something serious going on because Russia has also ordered Germany to close its consulate in St. Petersburg.

Well, right now the war has escalated more than ever.

As I reported yesterday, uh, Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said that we're basically at a situation where anything could, you know, be the trigger for a world war.

Um, and we saw major escalation in the past 24 hours.

Uh, and the, uh, Russia's gearing up for a autumn offensive and a winter offensive.

The discussion lasts, what, five hours, three hours? Three hours, it's over.

They're back on the plane and Lavrov is laughing at them.

I think Mr. Putin is too much of a gentleman to do that, but Lavrov has about had it, so I think he's probably having a good laugh.

This war in Ukraine is going to end on Russian terms.

Then you look at Western Europe and the West European globalists that have driven the train behind this war.

Before we get to President Trump facing an abyss or perhaps feeling like he's in hell, an analogy that you made in a great Substack piece you wrote comparing him to President Lincoln after the North had lost a very serious battle in the Civil War.

In addition to my interview with Foreign Minister Lavrov, Larry Johnson, John Mearsheimer, Alistair Crook, and Alistair's wife, Aisling Byrne, and I had a three-hour dinner with Foreign Minister Lavrov in his home and other Russian officials were there as well.

He spoke very candidly, and one of the takeaways is the Russians were very disappointed at Anchorage.

They were disappointed because the Americans made proposals to resolve the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which were delivered to the Russians about a week before Anchorage.

But they're also of the view that to them a handshake is an agreement.

And even though it didn't bear the signature of Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin, it was an American proposal reduced to writing delivered by Witkoff and Kushner five or six days before Anchorage.

When I asked Foreign Minister Lavrov if they trust President Trump, he responded by saying, would you after the violation of the memorandum of understanding with Iran? Would you after the violation of the handshake in Anchorage? So I think they see through all this.

But they're, they're diplomats.

Yeah

... claiming that Ratcliffe is now going to take over the, uh, the diplomacy part of Project Ukraine, even though he can't get a meeting with Putin or Lavrov.

[laughs] But, uh, we also, uh, we also have a drone incident with Zelensky-

Yeah

... uh, article.

Yeah.

Uh, once again, Ratcliffe pushing out Witkoff and Kushner, but Ratcliffe can't even get a meeting with Putin or Lavrov, so how exactly is that negotiation, uh, going to work? And, and finally, Alexander, um, comment on the UK Spectator article that dropped-

Yeah

You know, there's this feeling like Putin, he's literally 30 feet tall or something, talking to these, you know, everyone else, these midgets.

We don't really see, you know, you just see little snippets of Sechen or the head of Rusneft or Lavrov, but it's all just Putin talking, very Putin-centric.

But in reality, of course, that's not how things are.

Of course, it is China-centric, Xi.

Again, Russia, it looks like they flew an armed drone into a German airport.

And what we hear about is they're closing this cultural house, Russia house.

And then in response, Lavrov was threatening to close the Goethe Institute in St. Petersburg.

I took a few classes there.
