Diplomatic Dispatch:A conversation between two ambassadors on NATO, Russia & relations with the West 

This is a rare sight, an Honest (enough) Brit... however... RF Ambassador is no fool, nor will he be played. All RF Senior Personnel are fully briefed and well informed. Ambassador does not pull his punches, with grace, finesse and aplomb. Nice references to Brit's own published historical bias... the use of Collective West's own mischaracterisation and caricature propaganda... since forever... BRAVO RF. "Mistakes"... on the part of The Hegemon and its Army of Conquest NATO... yeah right... RF Ambassador completely contextualises every aspect of where we "find" ourselves... One Nil to RF

UK can't get its head around the fact that Russia is strong, rich and has many friends around the world wanting multipolarity.

My view is that West's expansion of Nato is the cause of this conflict. If the roles were reversed the Americans would be hysterical. Nevertheless, its good to see both sides talking to one another. Global thermonuclear war will seriously ruin everyones day.

Thanks to Russia stopping Facism in Ukraine. Without Russian sacrifice in World War II ending would be different and our life today would have been different. - Best regards from Sweden

The hypocrisy of the British Ambassador's language is regrettable, as it has become evident through his tone of voice and body language...

A British diplomat trying to remain relevant, not realising that both he and the UK are notes in the margin of history.

lol 😂 UK is a “guardian of global order”…what a joke!

Russia is not a threat at all, only the nato.

The British diplomat speaks and reasons as if Britain is still an influential force in world affairs as before. For a long time, Britain can give the impression of a country of some importance in the world scene only by playing second fiddle to the USA. In this video, he doesn't say anything even barely "suggesting" the role that the American neo-cons played in the debacle of Ukraine. He tries to explain away America's deliberately designed policies aimed to harm Russia as resulting from misunderstandings. Nice try ambassador!

Well, you see, the problem of democracy in Russia is one thing, but a national threat to Russia is another thing. You might accuse Russia of being non-democratic, but even realizing this, ordinary Russians still have the reason to support the government in protecting it's national interests. That is an explanation why Putin's approval rating grows, despite the problems. What i'm saying is, the west has always been playing in Putin's hand, whether it realizes it or not. For Russians it shows that the west simply doesn't care, because they want to destroy Russia altogether, not fight for democracy as they like to say.

how it is posible British ambasador does not know Georgia attack South Osetia on american order. Russia did not attack Georgia.

What a great chat! European politicians have no other option but to establish peace with neighbours like Russia!

I like Tony Brenton, but cannot but be baffled by his statement that little Britain was in India to bring "civilization" to thousands of years old Bharat (India), and that the British could not understand why Indians saw Britain as Imperialists! Incredible dollops of hubris expressed even by someone as "honest" as Tony Brenton. Shocked the Indians wanted independence🤣😅😂

i guess the everyday people in ukraine,russia,europe and great britain just want to get along , go to work have a decent life and no bombs dropping on anyone ... this is just brinksmanship and completely out of control

The sad thing is that it was never about Ucraine it is about Russia and US !!! We the populations get sent to the meat grinder fighting ! Ironically for a piece of paper that was not made ... can't we all get along without hating each other ! So sad ...600.000 ucrainians army lay dead ...Russians too !

Thatcher said Gorbachev was a man they could do business with. Tells you all you need to know about him.

These conversations and the Western man’s ability to still influence his Western government towards peace will make the world better. Not NATO expansion, not Russo/Sino-phobia, not more neoliberalism/neoconservatism.

I'm a British citizen, ex services, like my father and his father before him. We don't see this war in the terms our ex Embassador does. Our family and circle of friends see Russia as protecting its people, its culture and its diaspora. We similarly see our own governing class at odds with our people, we see our history, culture and people being thrown away by these elites who believe in nothing.

Napoleon attacked Russia because Russia did not close its ports to England when Napoleon asked. When all other European countries, feared Napoleon, severed ties with England, the Russians said that we would support England and continue to maintain relations. This time we have NATO, which behaves exactly like Napoleon against England, but now Russia is in the role of England

Message to the Ambassador. Russia didn't invade Georgia. Georgia attacked Russia. Why did Bush announce Georgia & Ukraine would become members of NATO if that wasn't the plan? Brezhinski wrote about nato expansion in his article a Geostrategy for Eurasia in 1997. I'm British, nato should have been disbanded when the Soviet Union broke up. The reason it wasn't was because it was useful for Washingtons hegemonic goals.

Well done - finally some sanity from a uk representative

Smart Russian ambassador 👌

VERY INSIGHTFUL EXCHANGE. THANK YOU BOTH!!!

It’s always “over reacted” while they constantly poke you with a stick

Good to see two civilised gentleman talking sense and representive their countries. With media nonsense of hate in between in our media... Thanks for sharing.

In Africa, we love Russia.

Ребята, вы все-таки посольство РФ в Британии, а не наоборот, для граждан своей страны неплохо было бы снабдить видео субтитрами. А посол, конечно, молодец!

Stop the wars .Peace

Thank you. Always a pleasure to listen to men of diplomacy.

Good afternoon to your excellencies. Fantastic and constructive debate. It's absolutely vital to protect the Russian citizens living in the East of Ukraine. Warmest regards to his excellency Russian ambassador for the greates diplomacy in this difficult times.

EU is a stepping stone to NATO.

Kelin is such a star.

Wonderful, I'd say superb conversation. Hope I can get my trip to Russia when things settle down. Bravo to both

Cyprus always support our 🇷🇺 brothers & sisters 🇨🇾❤️🇷🇺🙏

This just shows the disconnect between bureaucrats and the British people, i spoke to a 84 year old soldier the day, and he told me, he could see Russia's point about NATO and a lot of businessmen are to be honest suffering from cognitive dissonance, as the economy is going into recession. Great discussion, there should be more like it, but the Russophobe attitude can be clearly seen, british investors putting 12 billion into business deals and " no russians allowed", in UK.

so fascinating to listen to the former UK Ambassador, his ability to stand firm, accurately identify the point of conflict, and do so in an objective and optimistic manner is a masterclass of diplomacy

If you see 2 fish 🐟 to fighting each other between them selfs in the dept of the Ocean check maybe before 5 min there was some British

Why UK have not expelled "ambassador" of terrorist country?

Russian economy is growing and has become number one economy in Europe at the same time as trade with UK going to zero. Perhaps having such country as UK in "opposition" is not a bad thing for Russia. There are big markets in Africa, Asia and other regions where Russian business is both welcome and more beneficial for Russia. Perhaps it is simply not worth it doing much with UK when UK itself is so hostile. UK cannot even sign a free-trade deal with USA. UK also lost access to European markets. And Russia clearly has not lost much by not trading with UK. On the contrary Russia gained economically and politically. There needs to be something useful for Russia in UK otherwise why bother.

This is exactly what is needed, less Russophobia and more dialogue.

England Past Cunning Glory & False Pride, Tells All Nothing More To Add.

Crazy how every russian believes that they are doing well.....

Thx, Mr Ambassador Kelin sir! Again a nice atmosphere to talk in btw... With all due respect to your conversation partner, but it is shocking to see how his moral and intellectual degeneration blinds him to reality. Sorry! 🇷🇺Ура!🇷🇺

It's fascinating to see dialogue, which is open and frank. Diplomatic leadership now is forgotten and undervalued for a perceived easy fix...Conflict and the money it makes particular actors. The media should be appalled in doing governments dirty work instead of hold them to account on citizens behalf.

"Not one inch east of the Elbe" was the promise.

The Russian ambassador knows more names and facts than the British ex Ambassador

Maybe I'm naive. However there is one single question I can't understand. We all know that Russia act because the security concernes. Russia wants to dictate the foraign relations of Ukraine. For example Russia dislikes the wish of Ukraine to join NATO. If I imagine being an Ukrainian I could not see any reason not to wish joining NATO. So my question: Why do some countries think they have more to say than others? And if we accept that there are powerful countries that are allowed to tell weaker countries what they are allowed to do, in what kind of world do we want to live in?

Why a British ambassador has such bad teeth. Its not that he can't afford a dentist. I am shocked.

Thatcher spotted a very naive character in Gorbachev. Because he was bending to ALL West's demands, he became.'friendly'. Therefore, the USSR was no competing force.

Very informative conversation.

It is critical not to make Ukraine a failed state. Russia and the United States did not want that even to Afghanistan.

Good to hear a relalitively honest discussion. The british ambassadors comments, that he has no idea about how ordinary russians feel about the ukriane war stunned me. I read (as an ordinary Brit) daily about Russian life for the people in the current crisis. Regarding the beitish people being fully behind the Wests stand for ukriane. The ambassador is completely out of touch. And the people who do support the uks position are largely blinded by the blanket propaganda in uk media, seeing only 1 side of the situation. RAR RAR Russia bad!

Even though I didn't saw eye to eye on many points raised by former British ambassador, both the Russian and British diplomats had a very constructive dialogue.

Great Britain is Monarchy not democracy - UK is *kingdom* actually and obviously, King is Head of State and others are Royal servants, and Brits have mouthful preaching "democracy" to everyone

Very interesting sobering honest assessment from both gentlemen The reality is the west has to stop the idea of dismembering Russia it was never going to work and now we have the impasse. The sooner leaders in the west admit this error of judgement the sooner this nightmare will be over.

Out of all countries the British criticizing Russia of invasion, while having a history of invading other countries and enslaving helpless people of those countries has something to say to other countries.

Ask Sir Tony if he speaks russian ,then it will be much faster to understand russian position if it is too difficult to deal with accent in his native 😅

I think its very good that diplomats engaged in diplomacy. Please make a peace path forward

British are showing their teeth on this video, POWER

Good to hear 2 adults have a serious conversation about this conflict. Miles apart at the moment, but they did agree that NATO expansion has a lot to do with it. AMB Kelin sounds and acts like a real professional.

14 July 2024. Band Practice. I learned the double-bass-kick from Arnie, now I work it into the groove, alternating single-bass-kick with double-bass-kick in a fast 4/4 beat. We're all in the pocket, dialed in, incredibly three men from three different generations, the bass carrying us like a river, the lead guitar solo hot enough to melt the face off a confederate statue. We play the tape back and I can't believe my ears - it sounds like rock & roll music. The drums sound better than I ever thought I could play. I don't know what this summer holds for our country, nothing good. For three transcendent hours I got to play drums in a no-shit rock & roll band and came home to my cat, so for the first time in a long time I've got something to live for. Do you like American music? We like all kinds of music. This week I will practice my rudiments, but only because Tre Cool from Green Day says to do so. God help us all. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TRVbFIO0lZE.html

Overreaction? Is that a quantifiable legal term?

Superb discussion. Well done to both ambassadors for displaying such wisdom

Ещё одно видео, класс! Балуете нас❤

NaTO didn't expand. Member join to seek protection from aggression. The Kremlin understand fully that NATO does not present a threat to Russia's territory

A tiny Island's audacity to threaten the Russian federation 😂

Misters, thanks for this talk 🤝

Long live Russia ! 🤍💙❤✌🏽

Ambassadors must comprehend Axis Forces' 21st-century grand strategy to explain the current events. Japan sent Francis Fukuyama to carry out the WWIII plan as the Policy Planning Staff at the U.S. State Department from 1981 to 1989. Fukuyama is a city in Hiroshima where the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb. In 1989, Fukuyama was the deputy director for European political-military affairs, leading to NATO expansion in central and eastern Europe, i.e., Georgia and Ukraine. Being inside, Fukuyama knew the Soviet Union would collapse due to Brezhnev's 'Era of Economic Stagnation' 1964-1982, so he published 'The End of History' on Feb 1, 1989, resulting in U.S. policy change towards international liberal order, aiming at against Russia and China. The tensions in Europe and Asia are caused by the Axis Forces wanting WWIII in the Atlantic and the Pacific theaters to achieve WWII's failure, expanding their territories. War requires planning; it isn't spontaneous: Ukraine against Russia or Taiwan province and the Philippines against China.

A great discussion.

We learned what the opinion of British was at that time about Russia. Especial how rich the country is and what business opportunities they had in Russia. Well ,probably Russians did not have that in mind at all having a long term strategy after the westerner taught and helped them how to handle infrastructure extraction industry agriculture , business polices , etc. .It is amazing how people in west thing that all can be done through business style relations that dictates politics in their country not seeing that in Russian and China is the opposite where states policies dictates first and then business (controlled by them) are following up.

At the end of the interview, Tony Brenton gives the Russian ambassador a lesson by explaining to him the path of Russian repentance to join the Empire of Good... Western arrogance, as usual... In Christianity, arrogance designates a capital sin, one that gives the feeling of being more important and more deserving than others, of not owing anything to anyone, which translates into contempt for others and the rest of the world.. 🙂 La réponse, avec une pointe d’ironie, de l’ambassadeur russe est excellente et elle est révélatrice des positons réelles sur l’échiquier mondial…

I support Russia and its war but I can't be blind either, militarily the SVO is a real disaster. And about the motorcycles it's better not to comment...

That's just such a senseless statement to make 'When india wanted independence' they didn't realize Britain was funding it's industrialization via deindustralization of India

But I will also say, it'd be nice to more of this. Biden is too ignorant to call President Putin and just talk this through. Instead they double down on stupid.

How do you compare India colony to Ukraine?

Diplomatic resolution is key to resolving this impasse.Fueling the conflict is inimical to humanity. Let’s talk,make compromises,sacrifices to get peace and development,however,we must identify the root causes of the conflict,with a view to avoiding similar circumstances

First principle, is an independent country allowed to voluntarily join any alliance it so wishes ?

To me this is the way to build trust and understanding dispite different views. I believe in talking rather then fighten!

We can only hope this public diplomacy will lead to deescalation of the conflicts and diplomacy restore stability and end insane wars so more people will be able to sleep better.

We assumed that we were benevolently ruling them and bringing them civilization😂😂😂

I have read several other comments and am surprised at what i find. I took this at face value as two men doing what they are both trained and skilled at doing - namely trying to use diplomaxy as an alternative to war to try to solve disputes between nations. The rights and wrongs are surely less important than the balance if power. Is not the hope that that balance of power is reaching an equilibrium where a compromise could be found and are not these men seeking to find that compromise and to look to the future and how we might ressurect - seemingly miraculously - better and prosperous relations again. No-one relishes the deaths and anguish It is becoming clear that a compromise is coming with the change of US president. Russia will keep some of its gains, the remainder of Ukraine will join Europe and will agree not to join NATO in a treaty lasting xxx decades. Trade will resume, generations will come and go and friendships between all countries will eventually resume I remember my parents saying we would never forgive the behaviour of the Japanese soldiers in WWII. My children know and care little about that - they both love Japan and the Japanese. Personally i remain optimistic in the long term - and admire both of these men for what they are saying and doing. I believe they have good intentions.

Time to work towards the peace efforts and diplomatic solutions. Britain should take a position of mediator instead supporting ex-president of Ukraine who is no longer having a mandate to represent the Ukrainian citizens.

Nigel Farage was right

Да здравствует Россия 🇷🇺 Ура!

I would buy and keep a pair of interview shoes, that are never used for walking, specifically for seated interviews. Used soles on shoes are a distraction, perhaps even paint the soles of interview shoes black. When standing just use the normal smart shoe as the soles will not be seen.

7 August 2024. Evening Dispatch. Not for nothing, but this comparison-of-military-records is exactly what I hoped to avoid by suggesting Kelly for VP. Anyone who volunteers for military service is a better American than the 99% of Americans who don't, so it is unseemly for us to attack each other's records. If she went with the Fighter Pilot/Astronaut, we wouldn't be having this comparison-of-records at all. I reckon there are two kinds of presidential candidates: those who are secure enough in their own ability to choose a Fighter Pilot/Astronaut for a running mate, and those who aren't. But "stolen valor"? That's a serious charge from Vance. To me, stolen valor is the guy wearing a Silver Star veteran ballcap in the bar in Colorado Springs who admits he didn't earn the award and is then ordered by another veteran to remove his ballcap (not by me, I don't like to be the stolen valor police). Has Walz in anyway misrepresented or lied about his military service? On what basis is he accused of stolen valor? Walz makes an excellent point, a point that could finally end decades of interminable argument about abortion & guns. We should indeed all mind our own business. This is country ethos - in the country they even have a song about it: "well if you mind your own business then you won't be minding mine." So the Americans who have assault rifles must mind their own business when it comes to abortions, and the Americans who have abortions must mind their own business when it comes to assault rifles. It's strange that these "Christian Men" are so determined to dictate morality to women, but not to other men. Very strange indeed. I vote for a military coup to restore the Constitution and relieve the suffering of the oppressed American People. Disband both parties, disband CNN & Fox, fire all Supreme Court justices for failing to uphold the Constitution, force term limits upon the derelicts in Congress, and then shut down the Stock Exchange with the National Guard until all Veterans and all Americans have homes in this country.

We need diplomats like these. Refreshing .

My wich is for a similar conversation between Stoltenberg and, for example, J.Sachs .

What they don't realize when they say Russia vs nato...it won't just be Russia...China, North Korea, India and Iran will also be involved.

Africa 🌍 loves Russia ❤🎉

Excellent dialogue

WHO WON THE GAME - RUSSIA VS. UK

Hello anybody from Russia or the embassy Firstly can i say the majority of the British public do not support Ukraine ..this is getting done without having a choice If NATO didn't expand as much as we have then maybe we could have been friends like our countries became in the early 2000,s To all Russian people stay safe i don't understand why our countries are enemies

Ty

The brit talks nonsense

On behalf of my state I apologise. All so unnecessary and a pointless waste of life.

Sim, é evidente que posdo resolver essa questao, mas isto é uma medida de contenção. Eu nao confio em ninguem.

well I like the furniture
