the, the, let's see, i, it reveals its presence in ukraine as well as equipment in trading for key of intelligence ever since the 2014 that might in that, that's asked the new york times, published as a bombshell report revealing sick with c. i a basis near ross as board as present 4th has taken out the online town on the bottom of the field following this week's capital vs. now it's pushing your tree and farther back in the across and region. the following is a cause lift sanctions imposed on molly and booking alfonso when it comes out of the true of nations threatening tweaks exit the

others involved international reaching you live or my new center in the russian capital. i a michael fletcher with the updates. i'll kicking off on news right now . western media has exposed washington spied games, assigning the spotlight on the sea ice peasants in ukraine ever since 2014. in a bombshell report, the new york times sides of the american intelligence agency has had a dozen and secret basis near the russian border. to those impulse and the ukrainian force is a part of a c, i a support network of spite bases constructed in the past 2 tiers. that includes 12 secret locations along the russian border in the ca also help training new generation of ukrainian spice operating side. russia, across europe and in cuba and other places where the russians have a large presence. this is big for the new york times, but many other independent journalists and even the russian government have alluded to this being true, and now they're vindicated. the new york times states, many details of this intelligence partnership are being disclosed for the 1st time

. and they also write that this partnership between washington and cab is crucial and key 4 k up to be defending itself. and they wouldn't have the ability to do so . without this partnership. now, this didn't begin a year ago or 2 years ago. this began a decade ago when it was carefully crafted. the bombshell is that the c i, a and other us agencies, provided intelligence for targeted missile strikes, the tracking of russian drones and troop movements and support forced by network. now, in over 200 interviews from current and former officials and ukraine's united states and europe, they describe this partnership that was literally built initially from this trust. they weren't sure. and then uh, built up to a very uh t intelligence hub that for past more communications from russia, then they could actually handle. now, according to the article, the united states intelligence apparatus said they did have some red lines that you

print ended approximately. the new partnership started producing so much more intelligence, blood pressure that it had to be shipped to language for processing. but the see i did have red lines. it wouldn't help to create ian's conduct defense if lisa operations was the distinction that created on the ukrainians. now, because the us and nato never admitted that they're fully fighting a war with russia. and the idea is that a proxy war has a hands off practice meeting that they can provide info, but they never are behind pulling the trigger. so they have to follow certain laws . now, such an incident occurred in 2016 when lieutenant colonel boo done off at the time . let commanders across a narrow gulf and inflatable speed. both that landed in crimea in the middle of the night were rushing commander unit was waiting for them the ukrainians and fought the russians. and a uh, a russian supp fighters actually died, including the son of a general. then they, the ukrainian swam back to shore into ukrainian control territory. now this was

a p r nightmare for the united states because it was a disaster and president put himself a two's ukrainians of committing a terrorist attack. and then promised to avenge the death of the russian fighters. meanwhile, obama, who was, i'm the president and joe biden said this caused more problems and made things a lot more difficult. now, there was another case when a mysterious aspersion happened in john. yeah, it's occurring in an elevator carrying explosives, exploding, and an elevator that carried a senior russian commander named arson pop off, who was known as motorola. mysterious explosion through an elevator carrying the senior russian separate this commander named arson. pablo. oh no. but he's known the garr motorola, the ca, some learned at the assessments were members of the 5th directorate despite group they received ca training. some of the mr. obama's advisors were furious, but the ruling ducks the presidential election speeding donald j trump against jewelry. what him, clinton was 3 weeks away, and assessing nations continued. so either the us didn't have the control of

ukraine that they thought they did, or they're just simply distancing their own role in this. but we have some of those, some of those who have been watching this deeply have said that this c i, a key of partnership is not only about the right ukraine defending itself, but well, for this type of legislation of law, russia. but in all of this, we understand this, this whole partnership has, has roots decades back talk to us about that. right? so as you know, this goes back a decade under 3 very different presidents. you have president obama, then president trump and bite. and now donald trump, of course, did include anti russian hawks and key positions including a mike pompeo, a c dies, c i, a director, and john bolton, his national security advisor. now that shows that no matter whose president the foreign policy largely remains the same. now these uh, under trump, they actually visited t of and they continue to expand their secret partnership,

which allowed more specialized training programs and the building of secret basis. now it's 1st on to point out that the new york times claims the size partnership and you frame can be traced back to 2 phone calls at the night of february 24th of 2014. during of course of might on to the key of the permitting use 5 to one to an office and called the c i a station c and the local head of the m i 6. and ask for help in building the agency from the ground up and therefore this 3 partnership, 3 way partnership was established as, as the part the ship deepened after 2016, the ukrainians became impatient with what they considered washington's on due caution and against agent assistant nations and other legal operations which while aided the terms the white house bought the ukrainians, had agreed to if you read officials in washington, threatened to kind of support, but they never did. now this of course was all part of the victoria newland, jeffrey piatt apparatus during that time. that of course removed victory,

an accomplishment power and then of course, initiated the might on to so this indicates a lot of the people that said the c i was involved at that time. now another point to mentioned really quick is in 2016, the c i a c and training and elite ukrainian commando force known as unit 2245. they captured russian roads and communications gear. so that the c, i a could actually reverse engineer this information and crack moscow's encryption system. they also then went onto train a new generation of ukrainian spies who operated inside russia, europe and cuba or other places that russians had a large presence. they frame ukrainian intelligence officers out of spite and assumed paper soon as in garner information. this was called operation gold, fish. now they've since been building upon this pro program, and it's interesting, of course, nothing new york times. we publish this report at this moment. the question we have to ask ourselves is why, why did they do that? we've seen a shift in the sentiment and us americans on the economic status of the united

states while giving more money to ukraine. we've also seen russia succeed and it's military tactics of d, f got and also on the deal political stage. so what we're seeing is that, why is this happening now? perhaps they want to distraction, perhaps are trying to distance themselves from another field. proxy one, a thought the new york times report reveals washington's a to key of is not only the root of the conflict, but at the see. i also have a handing fee of policies. today are the corresponding collab bump. it brings us more on this. well, the new report confirms what russian officials had been pointing out from day want that the us intelligent services are very entangled into the ukrainian forces and into the conflict in ukraine. the newer. busy it says that when the special military operation was launched by russia at that time, the c, i, a officials that were in ukraine, were operating out of a hotel. and every day they met with contacts at this hotel and carried out their

operations. got reports about contacts and networks that were being built bite and what house authorized by agencies to provide intelligence support for lisa operations against russian forces on ukrainian soil is senior us official set of the c. i a sizable presidents. are they pulling triggers? know, are they helping with targeting? absolutely. now the new york times report goes on to explain how us central intelligence agency as well as m, i 6, the british intelligence agency. they both operated in ukraine and the lead up to the special military operation. building networks, training them to recruit sources, to gather information, as well as build clandestine and part of the networks. and in southern kiersten, these words has moved into action. murder, people that were accused of being collaborators with russia and helping target russian positions along with ukrainian forces. now it's also important to know that

according to the new york times, uh, there was a meet, it convened in the hague, a secret on which the us central intelligence agency coordinated with other intelligence agencies throughout europe to kind of a launch an anti russian front. the representatives from the c, i brigands, m, i 6, the a true off the dutch service, but critical intelligence ally and other agencies be great to start pulling together mulder intelligence on prussia. the result was a super good coal ition against russia and the ukrainians were vital members of it . now it's important to know that the new york times, as well as other mainstream media outlets in the united states, are generally used by the sky for what they refer to as limited hangouts, where they reveal certain information, but not all. and with this report coming forward in the new york times, we can assume from this that this is just the tip of the iceberg. they deal with need to at least acknowledge this much activity. there's probably quite a bit more that has taken place. the timing of the report is particularly

interesting as well, right? we have the a package in congress for ukraine that has failed to pass. the mog or republicans and others are holding up the aid package for ukraine requested by the us white house. and this comes on the heels of information that former c i a director william burns, paid a secret visit to ukraine on thursday and was hurriedly reassuring ukrainian officials that american aid would come through. they would get the aid that was promised. however, not all of them found his words to be so reassuring. the question that some of you creating intelligence officers are now asking their american counterparts as republicans in the house where you were the to caught of billions of dollars in a is one of the see i will abandon them. it happened and it's getting some before and now it's going to happen in ukraine as soon as your credit officer set the acting us deputy secretary state victor. a new one said that she has strong confidence that the aid package will be passed despite the disagreements in

congress between republicans, democrats, monitor republicans and others. we have to remember that the bulk of this money is going right back into the us economy to mix those weapons, including good paying jobs, as in some 40 states across the united states. so that's the beginning of the conflict. russia has made clear that this is not a fight between a solver and country and russia. this is rather a country ukraine that has lost its sovereignty and become a vehicle through which the united states and its allies can antagonize and threaten the rush. and after such a long period of these antagonisms rush, i felt it had no choice but to move in with its special military operation. this is what russia has been saying from the beginning. and this has been pretty much fully confirmed by this new report from the new york times of the latest update from the russian defends ministry states, a key of attempted to carry out

a terrorist attack using 2 guided mess all over the black sea of the ministry added that they were taken out by russian ad defense as before, reaching the targets. and the meanwhile, russian forces are advancing on the battlefield. and they have now taken the key location in the castle and region. and that's according to the nation's defense minister in his report to president the on demand, put him going to this issue, the village of cranky has been cleared. our forces are standing all along the river bank. it's not just an observation point. our troops are stationed there, operating at maximum efficiency, some individual enemy soldiers remain on the left bank of the deep river. we are working on that they are being offered a chance to surrender. others cons just there is also russia now as the head cap to adopt the guy and doing its republic used to be that had been under the control of keeps forces for almost a decade of the bottle for the strategic area to many months before k. optic to retreat by you create in force as moscow says, a key of loss,

nearly 3000 soldiers during its retreat. russian forces also to buy the main. but what i feel trace inside which supplies a number of cities in the republic, including the regional capital in ask ortiz eagle as donald spring says, this explicit report. so this is the, the next quote of filtering plots. and until early 2022, it used to provide fresh wood safe use to provide access to fresh water for the entire city. in early 2020, to kind of switch sides. it used to be in the grey zone, kind of the no man's land according to the mask agreements and the ukrainians. they were the 1st to gain a foothold here. the 1st thing they did, the 1st order of business for them here was to deny was to strip citizens of the nets of something as basic as the right as the access to tap water. the station hasn't been a safe place for years. it's operating company would have to repeatedly implement

shutdowns to ensure workers safety back then all hopes were pinned on the o is see, and it's you and backed monitoring mission and it's piece making skills. now the station that provided water for over a 1000000 people looks like this. the you to call was that we took your up. dave got read the scripture on the wall, left by the units who entered the territory of the batted station 1st. little because we're no significant battles here,

but it's an interesting story. we're preparing for the salt and how to make our way through the tunnels. here. in the end, everything happens so spontaneously with our drone dropped leaflets calling for surrender in the red, we will kill you and had the phone number of our division commanders and they called and said that they wanted to surrender. we gave them half an hour, so they jumped out of their positions and then a chain reaction began them. then emmys fled from of they ask of that is there were no harsh clashes. they simply fled and were shot as they ran away, throwing their weapons, the 2 issues. it won't be soon until this facility will be able to pump the water to people's kitchens and bathrooms. ukraine still holds hostage the river of saber ski the next. the main water supply of the don't pass rusher has to claim control over its upstream too. so the issue, clues of black smoke rising on the horizon show that it is doing just that. how much is done of approaching from the dog boss oxy

wash as foreign ministry of slammed light, it means the landscape will say, got the news, confidence that only $30000.00 you train in troops have been killed in the conflict . the fact is, the landscape lying is realized by every citizen of ukraine festival, but every ukrainian soldier early as the president did not consider the russian speaking population of don't bosses people. now he has stopped considering the population of the remaining pulse of ukraine as people threats. it's not 31000 ukrainian troops have died. and this was the last key also stated that the crime lena had information on ukraine's comfortable offensive of patients laid on its table before they even begun. but these words were not the only ones that drew attention. you guys want me to add to the i'll tell you frankly, i'll counter offensive operations last thoughts and were on the kremlin table

before the counter offensive began. middle, the summers literally in the most live with little we're doing everything possible and impossible to make a break through. the 2024 plan is already in place. we do not talk about it publicly is powerful, it is strong. it gives not only hope, but it will give results in 2024 and i might disappoint you. but what we do now is that he actually died of a blood clot, as to the look of being at a key at the c, and then they don't have them. this is all false, less non across live to international consultants, l rosabelle said joining us on my washington dc. it's good to have you join me now about what do you make of the landscape claims that only go to 1000 ukrainians a died in the ongoing conflict. so my kid, i think the media, the move in yet woke up yet from

a dream. so he's obviously delusional. perhaps the just dropped a 01. the numbers or flip flopped the notes from russian cash and leave ukrainian casualties. but clearly, or maybe it's a budget issue. so i only claim $30000.00 until the max. and so i only pay a paid out to the families for $30000.00 soldiers. so it's clearly, it's misplaced. i mean, we know we have more casualties and they're just in the, in the recent counter offensive. so which is a complete the bottle. so it's, uh, yeah, it is, it's, it's delusional. it's, it's, it's for political purposes solely and, and he knows as the numbers are already very low. the actually provided real numbers. you'd probably be out next week. all right, not back in november just to add to what you say a back in november 2022 european commission president or some of under lee and said

that you trade in last around 100000 troops. and now is the last key say, is that it is just fair to 1000. 0, where did they actually get this numbers from all from, from, from your assessment. this service to this, less them to be payoffs in the complex fronts that they're supposed to have to get to. what do you say? yeah, we have uh what we have been realizing for the counter offensive that they have $100000.00 uh, soldiers last we have uh us assessments anywhere from $70000.00 plus um, russian assessment. so obviously around the what $3.00 to $400000.00. um is that i'm not sure what to say. maybe it's new math, but um, yeah, the facts on the ground, the intelligence sources for more reliable and for intelligent sources clearly do

not support the numbers the most is the one steve saying, i'm not sure where he's getting numbers from, or maybe he's, he's better to get them themselves, but it's a, it's clearly is a, is lying to the training public. maybe it's to pitch a better than uh, kind of shape the reality to maybe get more support. maybe it's partially to kind of shift and say, hey, hey we're, it's think you're not going as bad as they are. please give us more funding, more support. so maybe it's tied to the budget issue as well, but, but you're right, it doesn't, it doesn't even come close to western estimates within the last year. so it's a, it's order of magnitude off. uh, at least of course, a lot of people live and asking if that is the number. so why is the desperation to recruit, mobilize women or people who are physically challenged to these all questions but, but these are they totally. yeah, exactly. i think we've got the age limits,

have been expanded. we've got women being brought into the service and, and we've got a rounding up another five's network. well, i don't think they're going to be able to get 500000 of them and we're asking countries to send back to the port ukrainians in that, in their draft day, just back to ukraine. so why you have these measures? if you've only, if they've only lost the $30000.00. so that's the big question. you know, even with the messenger rays coming from all around the west to join hands about your trend. cost is the demands of many tree and financial aid from the west complaining that the country is on the brink of disaster. how wants to west responded? well the, how is it responded to the numbers, voiced by the trade in president, and if not, what kind of reaction can we expect from this? yeah, i, i'm sure we're going to see uh, i mean,

because they've already released their estimates earlier. oh, i'm not sure how we're going to can be at this. i mean, we, maybe they'll state that the, you know, well, we have wrapped in this you know, we're not counting the missing and we're assuming more of the missing or uh, our data as well. so they'll play with the numbers somehow to kind of spin it or maybe they'll counter him directly. so it's uh, you know, the west is already on record for, for saying earlier that they have more depth. and so how they spend this to yet still provide support to him politically. um yeah, how do you count the numbers that i mean that they may, they may adjusted somehow to to reflect the totally casualties or, you know, somehow to play play a numbers game on this to the kind of balance that to some degree but, but it's,

yeah, purely, i'm sure the, the western countries are trying to look at this and see, okay, how can we spend this, or we just come out and say, well, he's a little bit off. so right now the ukranian president also said the key of cancer offensive was, leads to the kremlin before even spotted. i wonder what interpretation you are making of a statement like this? yeah, that's so he's trying to, well, one of my view is that the counter offensive was poorly placed. they should never have occurred to begin with from a, from a pure military perspective. but it's probably trying to shift the blame. maybe he's trying to shift the blame, that's the loose name. maybe he's trying to shift the blame that, that the intelligence of apparatus was, was loose, and somehow it got leaked. and perhaps some of that information was like the,

the russia has a very, very, a competent intelligence separate um, but um, regardless of, of whether his plans released or not. it was, uh, it was a suicide mission to begin with. and never should have been, uh, never should have an pursuit from day one. if it just was totally plan, they had no uh, no chance of succeeding at all. there was the one slim chance to kind of penetrate through to go all the way to mural. okay, the see and try to cut the supply line. so it probably be uh, but the probably of success was that was minuscule. and so whoever supported this and whoever encouraged this, and i have a feeling, a sort of a little western powers were behind this. i of that. yeah, it just was a, it was a suicide mission from day one. and this whole talk of having a 2025, the regrouping of having a 2025 in

a sense of this ukraine still around in 2025. it's uh, it's another poorly place to delusional. um placement and i, i just, i feel sorry for them and people that are going to die as a result of that too. all right, of course they'll keep making those plans so long as the funds. i promise i'm not coming out to washington, but we have to leave you here now. thank you so much. l rasmussen. international consultants. thank you for your insight. thank. stringent functions slapped on molly and booking of fi. so bobby echo as a group of west african states of stopping lead being lifted at the block, had recently made a similar concession towards new jersey while leaving some still in place. a comes after the trio of nations had threatened to quit. the grouping are now people on the streets of the jazz capital where seems celebrating the decision by echo ruling

will go into effect immediately. however, the block maintain that southern political assumptions are still imposed on these are public. after a cool up ended the leadership in the country last year, local reports, and what you'll be is it has the details. the authority of heads of state and complement of that course said the decision to the lift economy expanse was imposed on these. there was based on humanitarian consideration siding, the hoss imparts of the sanctions on citizens and regional economy. f was suspended, the closure of light an ad borders between its members states and these are the freezing of assets and all service transactions, including utilities and for travel ban on government officials and their family members and reversed the suspension of missouri from regional financial assistance . and transactions for the region of upsets target individual santos and political sense has like limited access to f. west summits and minister assessments will hold

firm. political sanctions has not been lifted. border polluters have been lifted. the commercial sanctions have been lifted, but they are targeted functions as well as political functions that to remain in force. of course, also called for the immediate and open base with all release of all sudden missouri and president mohammed pursued the ex ordinary summit from space off a general. yeah, people got one like curious farmer, head of space and one of the founding fathers of the regional blocks made of lead to the block to reconsider its measures to restore constitutional order in the region for the sake of regional integration. but the decrease of to lift the band comes out of the critical john to for it, pull us on january the 28th. the newly formed allows us to hell, which includes molly and these are and for jennifer also announced withdrawal from

the blow on the grounds at airports had viewed it from its founding ideals, and was foundering to foreign powers airport. as denies these allegations, my dear in president ball at suitable, who also doubles as eric was chair said the commission is put in its citizens 1st and said reserve molly and also also with not perceived the commission as the enemy demo. chris is nothing more than the political from work on the past. so addressing the basic needs an aspiration of the people. this is why we're malls the exam in the course to approach to request for post solution uh for that info of our main by states. and you have full arch in total close to that the vision of these 3 dishes through x

h o notes to by steve and nice ation. it has the end of course, was traded in 1975 to promote economy prosperity among member states. but it has been struggling to deal with a wave. of course, in recent years, the block was criticized for being heavy handed on these are off of the july also freshman assume. last week, the alliance of the house, they said it was working to create a confederation and may soon welcome a new car and see known as the house. but for now, it is not clear what may happen next. august. lifting sanctions can restore of a trust in the regional block, which may have been broken. timothy pieces are to apologize material. all right, that's a update for me and my colleagues more about him not me, will do with.
