Professor Sachs is a rare and exceptional human being that the world and in particular American leaders need to listen to. Professor Sachs summation and course of action is the only sane and sensible course. The Washington war mongers need to pull the heads in and do what is right for humanity. Not there war machines or misguided egos if they want humanity to survive.
American leaders don't even care to solve internal problems for decades, you think they will listen? It is only possible if prof could be US president, becoming the American leader himself.
Professor's narratives all based on facts from the past 30 years and unbiased, fair, justice and high spirit views. Many many thanks from a Taiwanese to professor Sachs.
The problem in the United States is that there is no government that decides. Those who decide are the military-industrial complex. Now that the Afghanistan war is over, they must have a new war for their weapons. It is completely inconceivable that the United States in 2022 will not get better. Had Zelensky been able to implement the Minsk Agreement for the United States, which they approved in 2015, the war would never have started. But that is when big business money is more important than human life.I have listened to Jeffrey several times before because he seems sensible and I have many other Americans on my favorite list, but the power in Washington is regardless of government in the hands of the military-industrial complex that is now looking for replacements for Afghanistan and Iraq.
Putin is massacring Ukrainians, but the US is to blame? In that case I know another one: how about Germany being responsible for Putin's war, by daily financing its war machine. Germany is after all the key importer of Russian fuels and has permanently closed its eyes with its 'Ost'politics
@@Ed-bq4rpEd, I do not blame everything on the United States, but the United States held the gun while Russia pressed the trigger. From the beginning, both Germany and France wanted Ukraine to be neutral like several other countries in Europe. Why did Zelendsy not want to follow the Minsk Agreement that Ukraine approved in 2015? If he had done that, there would probably not have been a war. Zelndsky won the 2019 election, likely because he would negotiate and end the war in the Donbas. Why nothing has happened during these past years? Biden also did not want to call Putin's card, Biden could have promised that NATO in Ukraine will not happen, just to see Putin's reaction. All indications are that the war was planned and that the military-industrial complex was behind it. Nordsteam 2 would never be approved and then the EU would need to buy LNG and new weapons from the United States. The world does not need more weapons, it needs leaders who can compromise and agree as JFK and Khrushchev did in 1962. Cuba is still not part of any military alliance.
Lasse L Agree with your conclusion. However, let's be clear: Russia didn't start this war. Rather, Russia entered Ukraine to ended an 8-year US initiated war which has killed over 14 thousand.
When a country’s poltical parties are so polarised as they have been in the last few year, a politician’s supposed objective to act in their constituents best interest goes out the window but rather to criticise on the other side even If what the otherside makes sense and said it first. Many government’s principal objective now to secure votes in elections and maintain control in legislature, and for the US, war makes people happy as they pretend to be saviours of the world as they don’t feel the pressure on themselves. It’s like lighting a fire and watching it burn and consume and kill whilst they enjoy the show.
Prof Jeffrey Sachs, Prof John J Mearsheimer and Prof Stephen Cohen are few in the western politic, even in academic still being rational when it comes to anything with Russian. We need more of them to make the world a safer place.
Mearsheimer's view is that US shouldn't be picking a fight with Russia but to focus on containing China's rise even if it risks WW3. His view is that US must remain the global hegemon at all cost. So I'm not sure how rational he is.
@@Time4Peace You read him right about China but I never find him support the notion of escalate conflict to possibly starting WW3. Mearsheimer simply suggest US should focus on China as soon as possible to gain the upper hand because he believes there will be limited but still dangerous confrontation between US and China as China continue to rise in power.
@@philipng476 Mearsheimer has a zero sum mentality - either China or US wins. He is an advocate of defending Taiwan militarily if necessary, a situation that will surely risk WW3.
World leaders won't listen to him and the handful of like minded experts because what these "leaders" wanted is just money and definitely not peace ! WWIII is not if but when ! Hahaha !
Jeffrey Sachs is truly a great thinker of our time and a very impartial one too; and also an expert international economist. Keep up the great work and sharing your opinion for solutions to world peace.
It is clear that the world has absolutely gone crazy when people like Prof Sachs who think rationally and always hold peace as the ultimate goal represent the minority of opinion
I don’t think mr sachs fully understands the requirements and perks to become a member of NATO and how that attracts countries to join it. Countries decide to join. That’s the key terminology. It’s been proven that other countries don’t fear a NATO invasion. What they fear is a united defensive NATO collaboration against autocratic governments extending corruption unto neighboring NATO countries.
President Putin have 80% approval rating among young people.Russia don't want Ukraine just to live there Russian citizens in peace and aliminate nazis from Ukraine teritory.
@@vajmong I don't think you understand what "opposing sides" means. Why would countries that are already controlled by the US/NATO be afraid of US/NATO, anyway?
@@vajmong Oh yeah? How many excuses do you need to make a saint of a military machinery and a war monger eternally starting wars on fo reign territories??? Thank you Jeremy Sachs, for a fair and honest update of the very dark and dangerous spillout from the Ukraine tragedy. Leaders of the US, UK and Nato together with leaders of the countries in the Western Alliance never learnt from their past of bringing 2 world wars. Today we find that suddenly we, the hoi-polloi of Britain and Europe might be on the brink of extinction though the war mongering oligarchies and their govts have their 5 star bunkers to support them decades longer than US. All of us will immediately turn into plutonium dust... I m sure talks of this nature, given by well informed, non-partisan but honest and just individuals and groups must mushroom quickly so we can help bring a pause, cool down the heat and persuade the warring parties that our lives, the 90% of humanity, our sophisticated world and our planet earth is worth saving. I guesd it'll take millions more talks and strong actions before they 'll get war fatigued and pause to negotiate, if at all.
I'm an overseas CHINESE... I would like to remind SACHS that the US is totally NOT interested in peace anywhere in the world EXCEPT FOR THE US........ the US MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX that controls all the corrupt politicians will NEVER AGREE TO A POLITICAL SETTLEMENT. THEY HAVE ALREADY DECLARED PUBLICLY SO MANY TIMES THAT WAR IS GOOD FOR THEIR BUSINESS... .
Prof Sachs is a visionary, I saw an interview of his about Syria and it was smart and true to the point, now he puts his finger on the wound again, I hope someone at the US administration would hear and react , but of course, they don't need someone to tells them they're wrong, they need blind followers.
I am sure US administration knows what is going on..... they just pretended not to know because they have their own priorities... selling weapons for corporations that supported them in election funding? lol
The arrogance of the EU and the US is unimaginable. US- OK we are sending weapons to Ukraine because we want peace. Give me a break the US wasn’t interested in peace in this particular situation.
With all due respect , Jeffrey Sachs is very relevant whereas Biden is almost obsolete. When Prof Sachs speaks we can gain something . Thank you Prof for your contribution.
Total agree and support Professor views and opinions. I pity normal ordinary Ukrainians who already die and more to come as a result of US + NATO + UK + Canada + Australia Hegemony Continuance. Sad that citizens of these countries are not able to see the self inflicted harms to themselves coming soon if not already affected.
@Beast Mode reserve currency status.. you have to look at that.. What is the percentage of currency reserves in dollar .. ? And you have to check what was its percentage a decade.. ago . I am sure you will be able to see a pattern..
@Beast Mode israel including remenmbi into reserve currency recently.. Days ago. Saudi Arabya discussing to price and sell oil in yuan.. These are not some random acts. US currency reserves are at the lowest in history.. a transition does not happen over a day. It takes time and as the usa spirals down into an abyss the trend accelerates. And the Chinese saying.. the things that they say.. What do you expect them to say..? That we are trying our hardest to distroy the dollar and at the process of replacing USA as the dominant political and ecconomical entity on the planet?
@Beast Mode well that ecconomy shrunk 1.4 % in the first quarter.. any donkey with half a brain wouldn't be senseless enough to say the thing that you did taking into consideration of these circumstances.
@Beast Mode 😂 US will fight off anyone who dumps dollar? Well guess who holds the largest US bonds.. a trillion of it?? If any country in the world is in a chinese debt trap its the USA. And your arguments are really dumb.. And the USA choosing death. Yeah thats a probability.. people will starve to death and those who Owens all wealth will take it and leave to China.
Very clear and comprehensive honest delivery . Why doesn't White House take heed of what this brilliant professor says . Sadistic and disingenuous of US policy makers. Here is this truthfull professor conceding that Putin is right. Thank you its always heartening to hear Prof Sachs . Indian Military Veterans .
Prof. Sachs is a brilliant public speaker, thinker and writer. However, I don’t agree with him on a small part. I believe Russians’ demands are pretty reasonable.
If Ukraine is to remain one country it needs to be neutral and allow the disparate population to achieve disparate goals and needs. No forcing one future on everyone. If the Donbas republics are to remain separate then their existence should be recognized and respected. Their people shouldn't be forced to be a part of a country that wants to kill them, force them to change, or imprison them.
Exactly. Neutrality is best for Ukraine. What is the point of picking sides and causing division in an already divided country which has been fighting a civil war for 8 years? Unless as the leader you are a puppet dancing to the US's tune and with some neo-Nazi types holding a gun to your head.
Indeed, sanctions imposed on Russia has plunged the global community into a deep catastrophic depression and starvation for millions around the world...and various economic collapses
I agree with Mr. Sachs. USA wants Russia to stay engaged with Ukraine to keep Russia focused on the western border for geopolitical reasons. Putin put his rationale out, which should not be disregarded. Whole thing is tragic and pathetic at the same time. Zelensky is more about being actor then the leader and he created pathetic figure on the world stage. The world has no chances to stay uninvolved, neutral in the phase of globalism.
Here is the person better than Bernie Sanders on a kinder world, economically. His honesty is similar or beats Jordan Peterson of Canada. His vision for world peace is above average. My differences with him is I wish he emphasized the need for Africa to learn and apply. It is shameful for year round warm Africa to suffer on food because relatively small and one season Ukraine is in trouble. Investing smartly and better land policies can help Africa feed itself and the world with relative ease. Invest in free water more than tractors+... My bonus: Bad Trump got elected because of worse Clinton and worst u.s election system. Some guilty one -eye Americans are blaming the good , bad, or OK Trump voters, Russia, Wikileaks, FBI director, etc. Your terrible system even contribute to 01/06. Open your eyes and act, or stop opening your mouths to waste our time.
Unfortunately the walk backs the USA and the EU have to make is far too humiliating for that to happen. Putin and Russia will not relinquish territories won and with the 30 year history of non-compliance to negotiated Russian-US/EU agreements, Russia is right to do so. The only expansionist parties today seen to be the USA and the EU. The NATO or proposed "global NATO" is nothing more than expansionism under another name. Russia and China are far too busy and prooccupied trying to lift the standards of living including the security of its people to think about expansionism. Their relative self-sufficiency indicated by their relative low external debt levels attests to that. They've little motivation to adopt expansionist agendas. Taiwan has been recognised as an unrelinquished rogue breakaway province of China since after WWII and the civil War that ensued. In fact for decades the Taiwan-based Chinese Nationalist Party laid claim to be the legitimate government of all of China! Taiwan reintegration into China is a non-negotiation issue.
How correct is this man everything he has said on my opinion has been correct apart about donbass the people who have lived their want to stay under Russia so donbass will stay under russia
i like Mr Sachs.. but like all America he can be a little arrogant.. what does he mean.. Quote ''yes'' it hurt Russia but it also hurt the world.. no it should be ''it affect Russia a little''.. but the collective west has just committed Hara-Kiri.. and cut its own head at a stroke..
Professor Jeffrey Sachs is a true champion of peace. A brave and honest American advocating for a multipolar world that considers the well-being of all countries.
Professor Sachs, you are monumental ! I had the privilege to be a student of yours! Thank you for your integrity and the principles you stand for, something scarce nowadays in our Western institutions. Fortunately, people like you, Professors Noam Chomsky, John Mearsheimer, Stephen Walt, Ilan Pappé, Shlomo Sand aren’t afraid to speak out and be on the side of what is right and morally acceptable.
It's August tomorrow and everything Prof. Sachs becomes reality of the world now. Even IMF admittes that Russia's economy is better now than before the war.
Regarding the former declarations of some European leaders, as French, do you think that the US is flawing,EE lowing the European economic power just using the good opportunity of Russian Ukraine war.
This man is so interesting and able to see the whole picture of what is happening now. American politicians has no excuse for the horror they inflict on the world. This intelligent man is American but they (American politicians) are very greedy.
I have followed US sanctions on several countries for more than 20 years. It has usually been the opposite, because the people unite in the sanctioned country against a common enemy.
Thanks your show with Jeffrey Sachs is yea opener I listen to others channels and basically (independent) they view is the same but Jeffrey put in such language like nobodies' Thanks again and I would like to mention language is a powerful tool.
I agree wholeheartedly with Prof. Sachs. If a peace treaty is to be signed where Ukraine will not join Nato n will be a neutral country n Eastern Ukraine will be given autonomy or even allowed to be independent countries, n if Russia withdraws its military completely, then what is stopping a peace treaty from being signed. Why go on fighting. Does the US need to approve?
I played games with some Ukrainian and Russian players, we had been playing together for a year and this war torned us apart 😭😭😭😭😭 The Russian and Ukrainian are fighting each other now in the game and our alliance collapsed.
Respected this guy's commentary up to the inclusion of climate. It really does baffle me how these people are allowed to push climate alarmism so blatantly when there is no evidence at all of there being a problem and CO2 is clearly not a large factor in the natural changes that have always occured. If any culprit for any warming is to be acknowledged look at the water vapour increase due to agriculture now that is a ghg that can be proven to effect change....
Food for oil In 1992, Putin was investigated for a deal he oversaw while an official in the mayor’s office. The deal involved the export of $100m worth of raw materials in exchange for food for the citizens of St Petersburg. The materials were exported, but the food never arrived. Marine Salye was put in charge of a city council investigation into the deal, and fastidiously kept the documents from that time. Papers granting export permits to companies involved in the deal appear to show Putin’s signature. Salye told Bureau reporters working for Al Jazeera’s People and Power: ‘The raw materials were shipped abroad but the food didn’t materialise. There’s 100% proof that in this Putin was to blame. As a result in 1992 - when there was no food at all - the city was left with nothing. The evidence I have is as solid as it gets.’ Salye continued: ‘We also found out that Putin - well, his committee - made bartering contacts to get food for the city. He issued licences. And commodities - wood, metal, cotton, heating oil, and oil - flew out of the country.’ The investigation at the time did not turn up any evidence that Putin had personally benefited from the deal. The Kremlin denies Putin ever signed the documents. Salye died of natural causes weeks after talking to the Bureau. Twentieth Trust Putin moved on from the oil for food scandal, rising through the ranks and being elected president in 2000, after serving in the role for several months following the resignation of Boris Yeltsin. Despite his rise, rumours continued to bug the politician. In June 1999, as Putin prepared for the role of first deputy prime minister, a criminal case was opened looking into his past. Lt. Col. Andrei Zykov, a former senior investigator at the Russian Interior Ministry, was put in charge of criminal case number 144 128. Zykov was given the task of investigating a construction company, Twentieth Trust. Officials suspected the company had been used to siphon money from St Petersburg’s city budget in the early 1990s, when Putin worked in the city office. The company continued to receive government funding despite being in debt. Zykov told the Bureau, ‘The question was, why? A corporation shouldn’t receive any public money if it is in debt. But it was getting more and more funding. The answer is they were bribing the St Petersburg mayor’s office.’ Unlike Salye’s investigation, Zykov feels Putin did personally benefit from the scheme. He alleges: ‘We investigated and found out that the Twentieth Trust corporation built a house for Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on the shores of Lake Komsomolskoye, as well as a villa in Spain,’ said Zykov. Putin’s dacha compound on the banks of the lake was set up by Putin and colleagues in 1996. However, in 2000, Russia’s prosecutor general shut the investigation down on the grounds of ‘insufficient proof’. Zykov was fired a year and half later. We asked the Kremlin to respond to Zykov’s claims. It declined to do so. Sign up for email alerts from the Bureau here.

Washington/Wall Street corporate regime's military complex are extremely successful at creating hugely profitable markets for their exorbitantly overpriced underperforming products. They sold over $1trillion ($1,000,000,000) worth of weapons to Western Europe/NATO countries. Expanding NATO, waging proxy wars is not only very good for business it is essential for the survival of these golden goose corporations. Hence, the endless wars being waged all over the world by their beneficiaries in Washington. Of course this is not the only source of great wealth from war mongering, there is even more to be made from the plundering of targeted/occupied countries that resist having their assets plundered. This is the bedrock of American global monopoly corporate business, the plunder of the world's wealth for the chosen few mega rich.
7;20 “ they say we don't really know what the endgame is but boy, Putin, is he finding out he doesn't have an army, he is humiliated, his head is exploding by the latest development, that's what I heard today...” My word, this guy is hilarious!
Is the USA even a democracy? Or beyond the marketing & propaganda is it really a decades old plutocracy?… would explain their direction/choices in a lot of matters that is ignoring or contrary to the good of their own citizenry.
Prof Jeff Sachs hits the nail on the head surprisingly no Senators in the USA would like to land an ear and bring about peace through diplomacy. May God bless you Sir.

Zelensky is more about being actor then the leader and he created pathetic figure on the world stage. The world has no chances to stay uninvolved, neutral in the phase of globalism.
Be blessed be economists intellectual cell if production unit is that
No matter all the rumors say, I'm Chinese, I will fight for Russia if you really need it.
I love listening to this sane rational guy. Why isn't he the US President?
Just imagine Jeffrey Sachs president of the US...
He's not a psychopath, so that can't happen.
@@MariaMaltseva I have to admit that you are right. I just imagined...
Professor Sachs, how I wish the USA politicians and EU leaders litsen to you! My salute to you for your pragmatism and support for the poor nations.
Very good discussion. Jeffrey Sachs is right and knows what he is saying. He is very sensible.
Prof Jeffrey Sachs absolutely correct.
Well said. I hope world leaders put pressure on America to change it’s distractive path. We have some dumps in the Biden administration.
Mr Sachs has been always right on the point ever since I have been following from 2008 Financial Debacles and Enron WorldCom era
Here is the person better than Bernie Sanders on a kinder world, economically. His honesty is similar or beats Jordan Peterson of Canada. His vision for world peace is above average. My differences with him is I wish he emphasized the need for Africa to learn and apply. It is shameful for year round warm Africa to suffer on food because relatively small and one season Ukraine is in trouble. Investing smartly and better land policies can help Africa feed itself and the world with relative ease. Invest in free water more than tractors+... My bonus: Bad Trump got elected because of worse Clinton and worst u.s election system. Some guilty one -eye Americans are blaming the good , bad, or OK Trump voters, Russia, Wikileaks, FBI director, etc. Your terrible system even contribute to 01/06. Open your eyes and act, or stop opening your mouths to waste our time.
All excellent and intelligent commentary on this intensely concerning subject and exposes the truth and reality behind it all.
What about the mire that America and Turkey are involved in Iraq and Syria?????.
maybe Ukraine President received huge amount of money to continue this war?
He's a corrupt puppet of the ruthless NeoCons.
Great interview! Professor Sachs’s analysis is spot on.
Great guest! Thanks
Unfortunately the walk backs the USA and the EU have to make is far too humiliating for that to happen. Putin and Russia will not relinquish territories won and with the 30 year history of non-compliance to negotiated Russian-US/EU agreements, Russia is right to do so. The only expansionist parties today seen to be the USA and the EU. The NATO or proposed "global NATO" is nothing more than expansionism under another name. Russia and China are far too busy and prooccupied trying to lift the standards of living including the security of its people to think about expansionism. Their relative self-sufficiency indicated by their relative low external debt levels attests to that. They've little motivation to adopt expansionist agendas. Taiwan has been recognised as an unrelinquished rogue breakaway province of China since after WWII and the civil War that ensued. In fact for decades the Taiwan-based Chinese Nationalist Party laid claim to be the legitimate government of all of China! Taiwan reintegration into China is a non-negotiation issue.
👍👍👍👍👍
It's between Russia and U$~UK~I$R~€U~NATO~UN
How correct is this man everything he has said on my opinion has been correct apart about donbass the people who have lived their want to stay under Russia so donbass will stay under russia
Glad to hear one of the few intelligent and wise voices from the U S. Pity that the U S regime is not listening.
Agree With Professor Sach, sanction would not resulted as desired. Only it will Buberang.
Russians and Ukraines are brothers and sisters, that is their strength after the war....and they can have a prospores future together
But the NeoCons want to use Ukraine to destabilise Russia at all costs.
That´s really very very good. I am translating this to Greek.
And I say, let´s make Sachs the general secretary of the UN - before it´s too late.
A voice of reason.
First normal and reasonable reaction I hear in three months!!!!
Strong analytical assessment, very healthy criticism with highly plausible solutions. Thank-you
Spot on! Professor.
Brilliant.!
Prof should start a 3rd party in US and run for presidency. Then, he could lead the 15% of the world (the West) and make world peace possible.
i like Mr Sachs.. but like all America he can be a little arrogant.. what does he mean.. Quote ''yes'' it hurt Russia but it also hurt the world.. no it should be ''it affect Russia a little''.. but the collective west has just committed Hara-Kiri.. and cut its own head at a stroke..
Professor Jeffrey Sachs is a true champion of peace. A brave and honest American advocating for a multipolar world that considers the well-being of all countries.
Professor Sachs, you are monumental ! I had the privilege to be a student of yours! Thank you for your integrity and the principles you stand for, something scarce nowadays in our Western institutions. Fortunately, people like you, Professors Noam Chomsky, John Mearsheimer, Stephen Walt, Ilan Pappé, Shlomo Sand aren’t afraid to speak out and be on the side of what is right and morally acceptable.
Prof, I am a big fan of yours, you are wise man💪💪💪👍👍👍
The US has never want to end this war … assuming they are winning. LoL
only sane solution thx Mr Sachs
You will never see Mr Sachs or any other person that thinks like him on CNN or any MSM terrible
Just love Jeffrey- please lısten to him.
It's August tomorrow and everything Prof. Sachs becomes reality of the world now. Even IMF admittes that Russia's economy is better now than before the war.
**Thanks for watching send a direct message right away I'll love to hear your thoughts on it and for more enlightenment...*
Regarding the former declarations of some European leaders, as French, do you think that the US is flawing,EE lowing the European economic power just using the good opportunity of Russian Ukraine war.
Yes
The Usa( terrorists hypocrites) is flawingg
This is a fact
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Jefferey Sachs!!!!!!!!!!!
So far the best speech from the west
Amazing video
War never changes. Because it's good for profit to some people...
This man is so interesting and able to see the whole picture of what is happening now. American politicians has no excuse for the horror they inflict on the world. This intelligent man is American but they (American politicians) are very greedy.
**Thanks for watching send a direct message right away I'll love to hear your thoughts on it and for more enlightenment...*
I have followed US sanctions on several countries for more than 20 years. It has usually been the opposite, because the people unite in the sanctioned country against a common enemy.
**Thanks for watching send a direct message right away I'll love to hear your thoughts on it and for more enlightenment...*
Thanks your show with Jeffrey Sachs is yea opener I listen to others channels and basically (independent) they view is the same but Jeffrey put in such language like nobodies' Thanks again and I would like to mention language is a powerful tool.
I agree wholeheartedly with Prof. Sachs. If a peace treaty is to be signed where Ukraine will not join Nato n will be a neutral country n Eastern Ukraine will be given autonomy or even allowed to be independent countries, n if Russia withdraws its military completely, then what is stopping a peace treaty from being signed. Why go on fighting. Does the US need to approve?
World leaders should think and be like Jeffrey
How much better the world would be
Thanks Jeffrey
👏👏👏👍👍👍
Lord help us all. 🖤♥️💛💚
I generally don't care for the guy but he is spot-on on this.
I played games with some Ukrainian and Russian players, we had been playing together for a year and this war torned us apart 😭😭😭😭😭 The Russian and Ukrainian are fighting each other now in the game and our alliance collapsed.
Finally a man with sense, pity there are so few of them.
Very sensible perspective
Respected this guy's commentary up to the inclusion of climate. It really does baffle me how these people are allowed to push climate alarmism so blatantly when there is no evidence at all of there being a problem and CO2 is clearly not a large factor in the natural changes that have always occured. If any culprit for any warming is to be acknowledged look at the water vapour increase due to agriculture now that is a ghg that can be proven to effect change....
👍👍👍
Food for oil
In 1992, Putin was investigated for a deal he oversaw while an official in the mayor’s office. The deal involved the export of $100m worth of raw materials in exchange for food for the citizens of St Petersburg. The materials were exported, but the food never arrived.
Marine Salye was put in charge of a city council investigation into the deal, and fastidiously kept the documents from that time.
Papers granting export permits to companies involved in the deal appear to show Putin’s signature.
Salye told Bureau reporters working for Al Jazeera’s People and Power: ‘The raw materials were shipped abroad but the food didn’t materialise. There’s 100% proof that in this Putin was to blame. As a result in 1992 - when there was no food at all - the city was left with nothing. The evidence I have is as solid as it gets.’
Salye continued: ‘We also found out that Putin - well, his committee - made bartering contacts to get food for the city. He issued licences. And commodities - wood, metal, cotton, heating oil, and oil - flew out of the country.’
The investigation at the time did not turn up any evidence that Putin had personally benefited from the deal.
The Kremlin denies Putin ever signed the documents.
Salye died of natural causes weeks after talking to the Bureau.
Twentieth Trust
Putin moved on from the oil for food scandal, rising through the ranks and being elected president in 2000, after serving in the role for several months following the resignation of Boris Yeltsin.
Despite his rise, rumours continued to bug the politician.
In June 1999, as Putin prepared for the role of first deputy prime minister, a criminal case was opened looking into his past.
Lt. Col. Andrei Zykov, a former senior investigator at the Russian Interior Ministry, was put in charge of criminal case number 144 128.
Zykov was given the task of investigating a construction company, Twentieth Trust. Officials suspected the company had been used to siphon money from St Petersburg’s city budget in the early 1990s, when Putin worked in the city office.
The company continued to receive government funding despite being in debt.
Zykov told the Bureau, ‘The question was, why? A corporation shouldn’t receive any public money if it is in debt. But it was getting more and more funding. The answer is they were bribing the St Petersburg mayor’s office.’
Unlike Salye’s investigation, Zykov feels Putin did personally benefit from the scheme.
He alleges: ‘We investigated and found out that the Twentieth Trust corporation built a house for Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on the shores of Lake Komsomolskoye, as well as a villa in Spain,’ said Zykov. Putin’s dacha compound on the banks of the lake was set up by Putin and colleagues in 1996.
However, in 2000, Russia’s prosecutor general shut the investigation down on the grounds of ‘insufficient proof’. Zykov was fired a year and half later.
We asked the Kremlin to respond to Zykov’s claims. It declined to do so.

Header image: Marina Salye looks through the records from her investigation into Putin.
Washington/Wall Street corporate regime's military complex are extremely successful at creating hugely profitable markets for their exorbitantly overpriced underperforming products. They sold over $1trillion ($1,000,000,000) worth of weapons to Western Europe/NATO countries. Expanding NATO, waging proxy wars is not only very good for business it is essential for the survival of these golden goose corporations. Hence, the endless wars being waged all over the world by their beneficiaries in Washington. Of course this is not the only source of great wealth from war mongering, there is even more to be made from the plundering of targeted/occupied countries that resist having their assets plundered. This is the bedrock of American global monopoly corporate business, the plunder of the world's wealth for the chosen few mega rich.
7;20 “ they say we don't really know what the endgame is but boy, Putin, is he finding out he doesn't have an army, he is humiliated, his head is exploding by the latest development, that's what I heard today...” My word, this guy is hilarious!
Sachs was being ironic or sarcastic.
Ukrainian should be proud. Russian treat your country special. That's why they do special military operations.
deciding to investigate....
Not corrupt. I don't know where that came from
Is the USA even a democracy? Or beyond the marketing & propaganda is it really a decades old plutocracy?… would explain their direction/choices in a lot of matters that is ignoring or contrary to the good of their own citizenry.
Brilliant contribution from prof. Sachs, very valuable!
Prof Jeff Sachs hits the nail on the head surprisingly no Senators in the USA would like to land an ear and bring about peace through diplomacy. May God bless you Sir.
