the the breaking news in general valerie's illusion, the head of the ukrainian armed forces throughout the conflict with russia, has been relieved of his posts as follows. along the public rift between president and so lucy and the outgoing commander in baghdad says american forces to violate a rocky sovereignty and threatened to end their presence in the country as it condemns. press 2, it strikes on iraqi territory. they killed a commander of the cuts he has the less as the much anticipated tucker carlson interview with flood rebooting. it's scheduled to air on the journal, a streaming network at 11 pm gmc can watch the full broadcast on our team. does

decided to weaponized with the we would not by reading board, but it didn't stop all imports, desktop, google of import, but they will continue to import gas. they're continuing to import other critical minimum. so what is this? and the indian petroleum and natural gas minister has given an exclusive interview to r t, from the energy weak form being hosted in the south asian country. the rental rouble live in moscow. you're watching our t international. we're covering the top new stories from around the world's beginners. breaking news president vladimir zalinski has sacked general larry's illusion a who has served as commander in chief of the armed forces of ukraine since july 2021. alexander ser security has now been appointed as the new ukranian army chief . the media has been reporting on his afraid relations with the landscape over the

course of the conflict in the countries mobilization strategy after cubes failed counter offensive. all right, let's go live now to our to shape bows. say, what more do you know about these changes in the ukranian high command as well? this is the culmination of many, many months of competition. an entry between the president of ukraine and the head of the forces. the president zelinski has previously denied that there were issues between him and valerie's illusion of his 50 year old, very popular leader of the ukraine. united forces. he only took up the role as a uh, you pains top soldier if you like in 2021. but he has a long, a quite a luxurious career and the armed forces going back to 2005 exceptionally popular with this man. a local come on, there's no, of course, the lose the had a far more realistic approach to the conflict on presidents. so lensky. he recently

made statements to the economist and to other western media outlets suggesting that the conflict had reached a stalemate. that seemed to really peak the r uh presidency. lensky and kia have who suggested that they come out. there's jo, within the deliver results on the bottom of the field not to embark on commentary on the political situation. more recently, the finalizations of assassination attempts of serious competition of crude a time in t as involving mr. as a lose the mr. zalinski, we had rumors that he was about to be sacked and replaced by curial, a boot done off the head of the much feared s b u. that hasn't come to pass that he has seems to adopt out of the race or as don't seem to be interested in the job. mister, but done of what seems to be the head of the ukrainian ground forces has taken the job. he's seen as far more a zalinski lawyer list and we know,

wait to see where the general ends up. now he's been advertised. it's been advertised that he will stay on the team and there's been a very positive, a polish, put on the spike. yes. but when the head of the or so of a country involved in a significant conflict, that leaves, in the midst of the complex questions have to be asked about the solidity of the team that they say is illusion. he will be remaining part of so many questions indeed are to use that shape. i would say thank you. all right, let's cross it now to michael. i'm a lou, former secure senior security policy analyst, a michael, what do you make of this to change in care of as well? uh, thanks for having me on a well not surprising it. it is going to be a serious question as to what the morale is going to be among the troops themselves

in ukrainian troops themselves. as you pointed out earlier and he was, the solution is very, very popular. i think he has something like uh over 80 percent, the support from the, the general population there and, and, but, but he is a realist and that he, he, he did recognize that you know, you gotta have a negotiation at this point because there is that stalemate, and this isn't what the zalinski wants to here. and, but what, what doesn't so lensky have a that the, that's his, that's zillow's nice successor can bring to the table. the funding is virtually drying up the there isn't a logistical support of for, for ukraine to continue the conflict that it's how, how they're going to re recapture all the last land is unknown

and i think goes, you lose need was being realistic. and i think the troops appreciate that. so what, what zalinski is going to have to do is, uh, uh, is, is, uh try to get out and buy more of funding, find more, uh, means of logistical support. and it's not forthcoming right now as we can see it, particularly from the, from the united states. so i think that we're going to be a, and i think the successor is, is unknown, at least to me and probably to others in terms of his leadership capabilities. so, and this is a very critical time. and, and this is not the time to be changing your, your, your, your leadership in mid stream, unless you saw totally confidence. so that wasn't the case here. it, yeah, you say this wasn't a surprise move, considering zalinski and as others need

a didn't really see eye to eye on the conflict. and then of course we did see this discussed quite a bit in the media lately. how does this all look for? is the lensky, does he look weak removing so loosely at this kid came moment as well? it shows he's not realistic. he doesn't have uh, he questions. his own leadership capabilities, frankly. i mean, i think that, uh, yeah. just getting into this conflict in my, in my personal view, what was delusional on the 1st place. he had an agreement with me ask one of the minutes to just to implement. and this all could have been avoided all of it. but he could he listen to westerners, the listen to the united states, not to do that. and as a consequence we, we even that we now see what the, what the results are. the results are painful for the ukrainians. there's no question about it. and it has had an, in a very impactful reaction here in the united states that the

people in the united states are fed up. they, they don't have his, his, uh, they don't have a confidence since the landscapes see, he hasn't shown they'll proper leadership. that's necessary, so i, i question whether he'll be able to be able to carry on much further. he, he's it, he's between his own rock and hard place, frankly. because if he did try to negotiate at this point, other forces within ukraine probably with the killing. so he's, he's caught me, but i think he's groping. he does, but he does, realistically, he doesn't have the fact in the military and the financial backing to carry on a conflict that is lost. and the longer it goes on, the more entrenched russian forces become. and it will make it even more difficult

for zalesky to do anything. and i, i just think it's going to have a terrible ending. yeah. and as far as the timing, do you think that this what have any practical impact on the situation on the front line to oh yeah, i think it's going to it because he was very popular with the troops. i think i will have a, an impact, a could, as i said, it could be demoralizing to them because of the, the, and he, he was there with them. he knew what they, what they were up against. and now i think that they're probably wondering what, what are we hoping to accomplish? what is, are in the game? you know, as an individual soldier, you're going to be wondering that yourself can follow orders, but you know, to what to suicide. national suicide. that's basically what, what they're aiming at and you know, this is, this is going to be uh, be terribly demoralized and i believe. and also it's going to have

a reaction abroad. people are going to be wondering why zaleski is doing this. he doesn't have a firm answer because he has some ideological dispute with him and, and it doesn't agree with uh, his tactics. i mean we'll look at, look into a wednesdays background. he, he was a comedian, before he came to office and a poor one is that so it's, it's just him and then to pre job and then to 2nd guess experience commander like this is just folly and, and it's, it's a prescription for disaster. yeah. i mean, you have to wonder what is a lift gate is thinking, i know it's not possible to get into his head, but i'm wondering if this move is an attempt to buys the landscape, to pop up, possibly secure his own power position amid the printing army just being bogged down, i don't see how is reinforcing disposition of those. oh, i think he's i think he's undermining himself. but he's, he's done this since day one. he's undermine the as a leader of a country he's,

he's done this to the entire country by not going along with the misc one to minutes to now it's coming back to bite him big time. and he, if he had, if he had followed the, the, the, his own instincts initially and, and didn't want to push for nato alliance as a push for ukraine to become part of nato. it it right up against the rest of the federation. in spite of all the warnings, i think he would ukraine as a whole would be better off to that. but uh now i, i just don't see, i don't see an offer him for him whatsoever. and he may have to ultimately just vacate the country immediately. if not sooner, all right, we're gonna leave it there. michael mo, former senior security policy analyst, micheal, thank you. pleasure. i'm turning now to the middle

east. the iraqi government has threatened to end the us led presence in the country after washington conducted another error strike on its territory on wednesday, killing. i could tell you it has the military commander. baghdad has condemned the attack as a violation of the country's sovereignty. the american forces has repeated irresponsibly all the actions that would undermine the established understandings and hinder the initiation of bilateral dialogue. by this act, the american forces jeopardize civil peace, violate your rocky sovereignty and disregard the safety and lives of our citizens. even more concerning is that the coalition consistently deviates from the reasons and objectives for its presence on our territory to us and our allies theme intend on bringing more k off and violating the sovereignty of many countries more than a rock. but with a rock we've seen the echoes of the us we're in the right of 2 decades ago, that is still bleeding into today. and one that continues to affect the region

because the latest u. s. strong strikes, interrupt that killed the hezbollah commander. who, buck, you're all savvy, and 2 others was confirmed by us central command. and this was of course, to stays after iraq said that such an option would be unacceptable. now the pentagon has said that the commander was responsible for targeting americans. uh, forces in the region, so this was in retaliation. a major general though of the security media selling iraq. i stated that be a clear aggression is the stabilizing the region, and it's violating your rocky sovereignty as well. and driving everyone into dangerous situations threatening the security and stability of these country is now has the law of course, condemn this attack as well, saying that these are american crimes, any rock, syria, and the young man. and this is, of course, is another violation of international law as well as sovereignty. but what has to

us is reaction been there are no indications of collateral damage or civilian casualties. at this time, the united states will continue to take necessary action to protect our people. we will not hesitate to hold responsible all those who threaten uh, forces, so of the. so the reality is a deny and dismiss these allegations are saying there was no collateral damage, that there were no civilian casualties. but this is just one incident. as we mentioned, there had been other incidents and the were definitely civilian casualties during that point. and they're also not addressing the fact that this is a question about sovereignty. what is the united states doing there? why are they attacking iraq? those are the things that washington has been trying to wash their hands off. and indeed, washington has been in a rock for quite a long time. now, many people won't even remember when they won tinderbox, they what's behind they send and during stay, washington seems to want control the entire region. and let's not forget that they

have a role in radical eyes and certain entities in the region and have also used for proxies to do so. now the us government did admit recently that they did not actually notify died about previous attacks last friday, which targeted more than $85.00 sites across both iraq and syria. so clearly this is going at many uh, within many software and countries and this caused civilian casualties. and they had initially claimed otherwise, a speaking to reporters on tuesday, the white house national security council spokesman john kirby corrected a prior statement that had said that there was pre notification to a rocky officials before last week through. i deeply apologize for the year. and i regret that any confusion that it caused it was based on information we had for that. it was provided to me in those early hours after the strikes turns out that information was incorrect and,

and i certainly regret the error. and i hope that you understand there was no new intent behind it, no, no delivered to intent to, to deceive or to be, to be wrong. but it seemed hard to believe that there was no intent to deceive. in saying this was a simple error or shuddering that they had insisted that all of this was done in co operation with the rock the government. because until recently, the rocky government in the us had been having talks to cooperate further. but this statement is a literal opposite of what was initially claimed. and it seems like this is an attempt to also push away the fact that the us is responsible for collateral damage or civilian casualties as we would more humanly call it. and in other words, they lied and they got caught, we did inform the iraqi government prior to the strikes security. as for the specific response on friday, there was not a pre notification. we informed the iraqis immediately after the strikes occurred.

so again, this is just after us rights on off the stop and all came regions be strikes also killed, 16 people and the rocky prime minister also condemned it as forces us violation of international law and more and more us aggression. so we're seeing a repeat of all these violations, but the reality is there seems to be nothing stopping them. the american side deliberately deceived and falsified the facts by announcing prior coordination to commit this regression, which is a false claim and that misleading international public opinion. and disavowing legal responsibility for this crime, in accordance with all international laws. but one has any sort of plea to international law or violations of it have actually change the us as of russian in the region. we're talking about syria young men as well because we've seen an

serrano a go after israel and the us to protect and sort of flight of for the palestinians . and in fact the u. s. in the u. k. did carry out a series of attacks across a young man and syria and of course, that could easily escalate into a tit for tat situation. now russia also agrees with the russian permanent rubber tentative, saying that the united states is of slanting the flames of the conflict and conducting these all lawful strikes, all over syria or rocks and young men. and also saying that they are pouring gasoline into the fire and that these are our course not lawful because the mass just never gave the approval of us presence there. so the question has been, why is the united states they're in the 1st place? why are they even allowed to be there and why do they feel that have the ability to be there? and it would be islamic resistance, probably for a more drastic measure. saying that if your rock doesn't act accordingly, they will take more resolute measures. and that this will not go on punish. so this

is actually frightening because we're seen so much on the geo political stage. so many conflicts emerging, especially in this region, as well as the red sea. and so, it seems like the united states is continuing to stroke situations that could explode at any given moment. and washington's european allies seem to be distancing themselves from us or offensive operations in the middle east are to contribute to original. marsden brings us more on the story whenever washington wants to start bombing other countries, it always acts like that girl in high school. you know, the one i'm talking about, the one who can't just go to the bathroom on a room without driving along and entire onto rise. remember former us president george w bush's coalition of the willing for invading and retaining, changing saddam hussein in iraq. but the appearance of the involvement of a bunch of other countries and for and bombings always helps to create a facade of multilateralism. a show of supports and unity. and of course,

a sharing of responsibility for whatever damage the us is just going to decide to do unilaterally anyway. and this latest operation in the middle east that's already seen american bombs dropped on a rocky. i'm in, and syria is really no exception. this morning. we've launched the operation prosperity, guardian, under the umbrella of combined maritime forces. and under the leadership attached force, 153. that operation is bringing together in more than a dozen countries from around the world to conduct joint patrols in the red sea. i'm a gulf of a wow, that sounds really impressive. a lot of heavy hitters involved there in terms of countries. guest of all those guys are involved and who really cares if by didn't did not get authorization from congress for use of military force or that any of the very limited scenarios in which the american president can legitimately use

force without congress has permission like self defense, against the image attack or the rescue americans abroad haven't actually been met. but it wasn't long before some european countries named by the pentagon, started acting like washington's regime change. my bill was just a creepy ice cream truck that they really did not want to get bored into. we cannot join in sudden acts of war without authorization from parliament, even if they aim at protecting international c traffic we will most participate unilaterally. interrupts the operation, france does not want to get involved either at stake or europe's relations with middle eastern partners like egypt and saudi arabia who have opposed us airstrikes in the region. meanwhile, the european union's defense ministers figured that the block would start off its own red sea patrol mission. eventually one of the reasons maybe because the doesn't

consider the who these, who are launching, attacks on the ships in the red sea, in support of palestinians being hit by israel and gaza to be a terrorist group. unlike washington, the blocks chief diplomat sounds super psyched about the whole thing. every body should try to avoid the situation becomes explosive has been repeated once and again that the middle east is a boiler that can explode a it's not really that into it. a big chunk of the you also sees the gas a conflict as a power tag that could light up the whole region and would rather give the drama are wide for spain, belgium, ireland, slovenia, france, notably. and there's also no interest on the part of the block to get involved with washington is targeting of iran back fighters in syria and rock either. so it looks like the you is quite content with this idea of tying up the potential future launch of their proposed red sea operation in the usual brussels. red tape,

american journalist tucker carlson has announced his highly anticipated interview with the russian president will era at 11 p m g m t. today on his self titled network, you can watch the broadcast in full on our team. the problem says it will publish the interview friday morning and hopes it will be viewed by a wide audience. and well, mr. carlson's interview teaser has garnered over 100000000 views, the backlash over his one on one with president wooten is spreading across western media and among politicians, it's prompted some journalists to alleged that western governments are trying to suppress different opinions. and despite wide scale interests, the white house claims smith's not important for anyone. i think it's pretty obvious should be very obvious to everybody. a world history britain has done any grain. and the quote is completely bogus in the end and ridiculous reasons for what she tried to justify it. i don't think we need to have their interview

with ladder mervin to, to uh, to understand his brutality. i think the people who want to be in power, i believe they are, the people is that i don't care about law and constitution. they think that they can ignore that. so they, they try to silence people by either ridicule or say, in your own patriotic or you're telling a lie. that's what you're tapes. the most is the fact that he's thrived by breaking the chains of the mainstream media. he's thrive because people are starved for information and that's exactly what the latest don't want, because they're restore terry and at heart. they don't want you to even hear the other side. us journalists tend to political analysts, john, for all a told us there is no room for opinions different from the government narrative in the us and era. the american governor has been harassing him, hounding him. you know, he's, i'm, so of course i got a call to trade or they're going to call the trainer. they do everything possible to, to harass him, to try to discredit him. there's no free press look what they did. they tried to

destroy his career. they chased him from fox news and came back only, but through his incredible will power and strength and his belief. his belief in america is blinking. the american people is believe in true in modern europe and in north america there is no room for other opinions. there's no room for other things . there's one narrative, it's the government narrative. they laid down the law in all other media companies, journalists, and it is, they have to follow that narrative. there can be no deviation whatsoever. we just look at this reaction how strongly are for most of these are reactants and stuck across these simply doing his job. he's a journalist, his job is to interview people, to gather information, and then to let the public make their own conclusions. for no, that is no longer possible in modern europe. and in the united states, where most media companies are under the control the government either directly or indirectly. there again,

there's only one narrative and that can be no deviation from it. but carl, so sit down marks the 1st time latimer putting has been interviewed by western journalists since the outbreak of the ukraine comp, like 2 years ago. however, some incumbent and former american officials are not impressed. hillary clinton among them. well, it shows me what i think we've all know. he's what's called a useful idiot. i mean, if you actually read translations of what's being said on russian media, they make fun of them. i mean, he's like a puppy dog. it's larry. so hillary clinton would speak up on this and she's the one who presented a reset button to russian leadership. that was miss translated into over charge of which she was the secretary of state. again, the bottom line is tucker, is doing what journalists should do. let's hear the voices of those that may not be getting the attention in western europe and united states are generally when the truth about what's been happening has been so covered up that they have fond over themselves to dr. presidents and lensky, they use the liberties,

the huge movie stars, the sport stars, and dash the key to the doctor's a wednesday. and yet nobody has told the other side of the story. well, the bottom white house wants to continue to pour billions and billions of dollars that you trained with no accountability with the transparency of where the money has gone and they're pushing for another $60000000000.00. i think what terrifies them about the, the tucker carlson interview is it people will finally get more of the story that they've been denied through the mainstream media. and they can't keep that story down when the doctor is going to put it out on the internet. the hello world should be grateful to india for buying russian oil, and that's according to the indian petroleum and natural gas minister and an exclusive interview with r t correspondent, runjun sharma and energy week and the world's most populous country. you also said that in nearby and boys from russia has kept the prices of oil. absolutely. should the water be grateful? they shouldn't be very much. so whether we india and bought the address or noise.

and if everybody in baltimore and a lot of people bought a lot of us and stuff, so let's not get into it. you know, i'm not sure noise coming from through the pipeline to hungry was exempt. there's no talk about that russian noise going through the pipeline to china. it was exempt . russian oil going from the body, cycling to japan is exempt. so what is left of the, what the, these are those decided to weaponized that you're not to say i do logical is we will not by then go do the but didn't stop all imports, desktop, google import, but they will continue to import. guess they're continuing to import other critical minimums. so what is this new delhi and that's not important. the government doesn't want to import inside all entities that input or they did these out in the public sector. and in the private sector, they knew non cooperation, which is of the 7th largest company in the world and downstream. they're one of the

made an importer as what they do. and what everybody does is to florida, send us at the point of importation, let's say, please let us know how much of this this we need so much wonder the of this good. they live at this point. if it is heavy girl, part of the. okay, it was either maybe the other parts of importation different at the end of it. i shouldn't company quotes unless the price good is that i shouldn't company cause a high price then buy from the present list price. so they're also audited. so there is no decision then in february 2022. when did i show you can military conflict the place at that stage i would import from the shuttle is 0.2 percent. today then 30 percent is under decline. it's a massive into, oh, i live them every 33 of 24 comes down, but you don't even be in port 5000000 bottles or the consumer 5000000 barrels on a particular day. you might have it ok as a lot of pressure on maybe that then. so the maybe that it depends on price and

availability. today of the situation is that in parts of crude oil are the biggest item in that in port basket and equally vx border petroleum products is the biggest item in unexplored basket. so we will import from that over the weekend to be like sports or whatever. because now there are a lot of new plans coming on the block, whatnot. bottom oh, big plus a guy and as new i think of sodium is new. maybe as new, brazil as a lot that are members of, of big origins from. i also attended the farm and go and sent us a report from the event in the indian western state. the best lines, the g, 6 del, from all across the world have gathered their deliveries. they want collaborative opportunities at a time when the was.
