That's exactly what it is, "setting the narrative". Russia never claimed to conquer the whole of Ukr.

It all changed after Ukr abandoned negotiations and conducted long-range strikes into Russia.

Инфляция в РФ действительно тревожная в этом году. Я не уверен что мне, кстати проиндексируют зарплату в СМИ близком к государству. Знаю что у Германии проблемы.

[@МихаилПашков-ф3х]

@@guccicacao Попробую с вами поучаствовать в дискуссии. Может и автора привлечём. Я учился в Великобритании в Лондоне в 2004-ом. Меня тогда порадовало что цены в среднем были на уровне РФ в магазинах. Услуги стоили сильно дороже. В СтарБаксе которого тогда не было в рф мне приходилось платить 10 фунтов за кофе а это было прям больно. Экономически Лондон мне не казался сильно богаче Москвы, но превосходил значительно мой родной город Ростов-на-Дону. Что прям смущало, это обильное количество мигрантов из арабских стран. Для меня это было диковинкой и слегка пугало. В тот момент мой подростковый мозг видел в каждом из них потенциального террориста. Было чище чем в России, но искусственные газоны выдавали собой искусственный натянутый лоск богатства. В нём всё время были чёрные дыры из земли. Зато на нём можно было безопасно сидеть... Смущало ещё экономия на атрибутики для студентов. Почти все аксессуары для спорта были поломаны или ломались быстрее чем за месяц. Еда была прям дрянная, но это скорее не про времена а про Лондон в целом. Для меня было большой удачей когда я открыл для себя хлопья с молоком на завтрак. Их делать умели, правда не на кухнях а на заводах... К слову для местных еда считалась очень даже топ в том месте, где я учился. Однажды готовили BBQ на какой-то праздник. Это было очень вкусно. В самом Лондоне меня очень восхитила историческая архитектура, особенно викторианской эпохи. Современная скорее разочаровала. Но я был подростком и я ретранслирую свои воспоминания через призму нового опыта.

[@antoniodomene]

These BBC interviews, no matter who the journalist is, consistently adhere to the same war-driven rhetoric emanating from Downing Street. It seems that the journalist's role is reduced to merely reciting a pre-written "script" handed to them, leading to repetitive and predictable questions. This lack of genuine inquiry and critical journalism often detracts from the depth and diversity of the conversation. What truly stands out in these interviews, however, is the composed and measured responses of Ambassador Kelin. His ability to maintain a "cold-blooded" demeanor amidst pointed and often aggressive questioning offers a fascinating insight into diplomatic poise and resilience. It is not just the content of his answers that is noteworthy, but the way he navigates the interview with calm and calculated precision, providing a stark contrast to the one-dimensional approach of the questioning.

They clearly didn’t do any research on her. Her reputation was so bad that the ANC told Nelson Mandela he would have to divorce her. She had numerous affairs while he was incarcerated, but was also leading her own political agenda. There was a truth and reconciliation committee which roundly condemned her. She proudly boasted to have invented the rubber necklace which she used to burn her own people alive. She was sentenced to 8 years for murdering a 14 year old boy but didn’t serve it because of who she was. Then there was the diamonds smuggling and Oxfords intelligentsia invites this criminal and gives her a standing ovation.

Could have been a good and informative interview..but sackur demonstrated his ignorance and gave the moral high ground to the polite Russian ambassador..

[@pillowcase2006]

Very transparent of Russia to post this and no one else.

[@67philipo]

Thanks Mr Sackur, I’ll get my info from people that know what they are talking about. Mearsheimer for instance

[@checkmilu]

Stephen Sakur, is this what the British Media get 😂 embarrassing and ashamed, no wonder why the old great British Empire has turned into a lap dog of the US.

[@goranborjesson5593]

So much propaganda from the BBC reporter. He is a joke.

[@dusancville]

Clown has socks appropriate to his questions. Nose high up, knows everything, the question is why he asks while he knows all the answers ? Typical BBC school of journalism.

[@WhiteWallsRU]

Journalism in Britain is dead!

[@mikaellindroos1594]

Russian bots are soon disappear. Kelin is a funny guy, difficult for him to say one word of thrut.

[@samirzemmache]

No one is more russophobic than a brit ! But soon UK will learn to respect Russia as a great global power…

[@globalwanderer360]

The UK government has a compulsory licence for television users. The money is used to fund the BBC.

[@Vlad-em6tn]

One can opt out of a so-called TV license, stating that he is not watching live BBC broadcasts. As far as I understand

[@tellog3406]

Honestly, all I see is a foreign diplomat defending his country's national interest, pride and international influence. I've got absolutely nothing against that. In fact, only makes me jealous.

[@wertykromagnon]

This journalist had to do the homework!! It’s not Russia turned economy to military industry!! Russia was always military industry megapower

[@despertaferro1094]

This is an ambassador. Deserves respect. Can you imagine if the russians spoke to the British ambassador in such a way?

[@ItWasReallyNothing1408]

Journalist is dum and just rude…..

[@douglashobden]

14:00. Simply amazing. A mouth piece of the UK government asking another country's diplomat what right they have to meddle in another country's affairs. Enough irony there to build a tank out of.

[@kimberlybazant1763]

"You make me laugh" Brilliant.

[@samsungtap4183]

Love how the ambassadore starts to explain about the children he is cut off. Like wow he was just going to explain the situation ...unbelievable.

[@Theworldparrot]

What a stupid journalism 🙄

[@davidthompson7812]

this is a disgrace dam the BBC

[@vikiguri5395]

Britain is asking another country what right they have to interfere in the affairs of other countries!!!!!Are you serious?!?🤣😂😂

[@paulparoma]

This Sackur character is an embarrassment. He knows nothing, and his rude, condescending, didactic tone is completely unacceptable.

[@madalinailie8243]

True diplomacy from His Excellency, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the UK, Andrei Kelin.

[@StasLS]

This show name should be changed from Hardtalk to Propagandatalk...

[@irinep2480]

Британец так переживает за нашу экономику, что я аж за него за него стала переживать 😮😂

[@brianjunior7571]

Long Live Mother Russia

[@TheUnderdog6]

'your masters in Russia'. how low can you go when speaking to such a high level diplomat. europe has stooped to new lows

[@vasilnanev-peltekov1786]

So pathetic .......... and this guy calls himself a journalist...

[@Mots_Art]

A fool may ask more questions in an hour than a wise man can answer in seven years..

[@972vein]

What an absolutely obnoxious being. The bullshit he sits and espouses is beyond belief. The Russian diplomat is, as usual, diplomatic and calm.

[@KONAMAN100]

Well, his job is diplomacy, what else would you expect.

[@reginaldpoofta5]

Interviewer is unprefessional provocative disrespectful and delusional.

[@wolfcookerBack]

I though an interviewer's role is ASKING QUESTIONS, not stating his wishful thinking nonsense. Very disappointing job of the British "journalist"

[@vadimalmil]

Oh man! What an interview.

[@stuartwray6175]

"The war shows us Russia's weakness and vulnerability" - yet if Russia isn't stopped, it will take Poland... and ultimately onwards to France. Lol
