4:01 pm
the, i'm rachel rupe, i live in moscow. you're watching r t international. nato chief in suttonberg says the lions is not considering sending troops to you frame that comes and then reaction from russia to french president emanuel microns suggestion there could be direct involvement in the hot conflict. moscow says such a move could lead it to no good results. i'm not sure yet. we are well aware of mac cross position on the needs to inflict the strategic defeat on russia and so on. we have noticed the facts and that the topic of sending troops, timber crane was indeed discussed. we have also taken note that there was a very rich pallet of opinions on this matter. indeed, there was no consensus. okay, but the number of countries participating in the parents event remain sober in their assessment of the potential risks of such actions and the potential risks of
4:02 pm
being directly involved in a hot conflict. well out of. busy the leaders of all the nato member states macro on the is the only one who's suggested this plan, this idea that sending nato troops to crane to fight there is not off the table. a table gives us, well, everything was discussed this evening in a very open and direct manner. there is no consensus to day to officially openly and with endorsements and troops on the ground. but in terms of dynamics, nothing should be ruled out. we will do everything necessary to ensure that russia can not win this war book with us as foreign ministers. certainly alive, rob. explain the reasoning behind the shocking proposal as a means for the west to try and compensate for the lack of results that the ukrainians are seeing on the battlefield right now. but at any rate, a proposal like this is enough to set off alarm bells, but coming from the head of a major western state, it set the main stream media into a frenzy with headlines,
4:03 pm
talking about potential world war 3 erupt. and what about other european leaders? what are they being say? well many of them are not happy about the tone of monday's meeting. we for example, heard from slovakia as prime minister who said that piece was not even mentioned there that are so simple. it was completely bull like meaning to support the war at all costs and to do everything you know, is it for the boys to continue? i was very surprised that there was not a single was about any piece plan or piece that they should to. i can confirm that the all countries that are all ready to send their own soldiers to ukraine, all the say never so long case among them. there are also countries that say that this proposal should be considered all governments. this piece oriented rejection, the continuation of the war will not sound weapons to ukraine will focus on severely on projects of the apple settled. and that same realm of thought we heard from hungry for administer, who said that they are
4:04 pm
a flat outside that his country is not going to be under any circumstances sending troops to ukraine. this anti war, a message from slovakia and hungry comes as no surprise. what are we hearing from the other european countries in support of ukraine? well, even the more pro, key of figures, like germany's chancellor, the leadership of the european commission and even the secretary general of nato himself. they're all saying that they're not going to be sending troops to ukraine and many other nato states. sort of that, the very least saying that the, the block is divided on this outline, this idea really, let's take a listen. what they said. there was a heated discussion about sending soldiers to you frame, and there was no absolute mutual understanding on this issue. there are different opinions, but i want to emphasize that there are absolutely no such decisions. right now, we're busy sending advanced systems from sweden to ukraine in various ways. as many other countries are doing, it's a completely different matter. there is also no such demand on the part of ukraine
4:05 pm
. this issue is irrelevant. i want to assure you that there's no question of sending europe and nato forces inside ukraine. an issue that for greece does not exist and i believe doesn't exist for the great majority of our colleagues. and let's shift to the average citizen here. don't old, what has the reaction being from the french public to them across state, but because, you know, sometimes it's usually a disconnect between the leadership what the leadership of a country wants and what the people want. what have you seen? well, it seems that people are just as afraid as the kind of fear we've been seeing. and these mainstream media headlines, a lot of stuff has been echoing between those headlines and what people are saying specifically talking about the fears of world war 3, sending french ground troops to ukraine, cronies. crazy, completely crazy. it would obviously be war with russia. world war 3, sending troops to ukraine would make us belligerence. war against russia would be madness. this belligerent verbal escalation by a nuclear power against another major nuclear power is already an air responsible
4:06 pm
act. emmanuel, the chrome explain volts, but it's the children's lives he's talking about so carelessly. it's a question of peace over in our country. now, in terms of the actual idea of sending troops to ukraine, although there might not be consensus among european leaders, there certainly is a consensus among the general population across the west. but that consensus is absolutely against sending troops to ukraine. we've got statistics from polls here, sending us troops to ukraine, and people who strongly support that. that's the only 6 percent of the population. well, strongly opposes 41 percent in terms of europe sending uh, troops to ukraine. support for that in germany is 13 percent. i mean, the highest we have here is in sweden, 33 percent, which is still extremely low when you take the population as a whole. so there's no doubt that there's very little supports in the west or among the general population for starting a potential world war 3. moscow says,
4:07 pm
statements like this from the french president, raise questions about his adequacy, as a leader in palm and star, t rushes foreign ministry spokesman said parish, remember its own historical opposition to nazis and a beautiful white and what's 1st, just weeks ago, french president, my crown and his representatives denied paris having any official role in recruiting volunteers or mercenaries, quite a few of whom were on ukrainian territory. and despite the facts presented by the russian side, in particular by our investor in paris, the palace denied it in every possible way. then the french president says he is considering sending his military to ukraine is one of the options. the question arises as to the adequacy of people who mix of statements. but it seems to me that the problem is much deeper than that. it is that people who are running things in the e. u in france now do not know. and in the context of parents do not appreciate their
4:08 pm
history. i want to remind mr. my chrome that there are other pages in francis history that would be worth paris turning to now and realizing in the 21st century . for example, the emergence and growth of anti fascist organizations. an enter french resistance to naziism during the 2nd world war. and the joining the citizens and all of civil society and france and the fight against naziism, against the 3rd reich, when it was not an official trans in france. this is what needs to be done now, to counteract the rise of naziism in ukraine. and we understand very well that enough facts have been provided to make even those who didn't want to believe it to now believe it so whose side is background on? what is this is ridiculous to attempt to type, to make a spectacular statement to gather more hits, or is it just disrespect for his own heroes? the heroes of france, who gave their lives in the fight against naziism, this, this book, and then chief editor of finish and be led to says the narrative is
4:09 pm
a sign of an escalating war of words, which is the west reactions, russia's success on the battlefield. what i see that the war of words is escalating as fast as the russian troops are liberating the dumas region, the panic is growing amongst the western supporters. they see that the great in front lines are collapsing and the advance is very volatile. i see that the seas and has to be the bluff beats orchestrated very much from the frame size. we have seen the whole day. so one leader have to run out. there are convincing their own population that no, no, no, we are not sending our voice there. and of course that would be a madness. that would be a k is. so they are panicking out from their role and actions. what us being disgusting differently in france is basically another question, but looks like that the martin has to take his own off the steps,
4:10 pm
trying to make the discussion maybe distort the attention alt, from the real games, what the russian troops are doing and to create the west hispanic team, as they cannot do anything to prevent rush trouble for seberio or at the, in the battlefield. they are trying to escalate to world war on the words. russian troops are strengthening and battlefield positions on and then that's the front. and after the successful capture of, of the, of co city, they have liberated 3 more residential areas in one week. total personnel losses on the print inside have far exceeded 400000. according to the russian defense minister. she was older and during the russian special military operation, the ukrainian armed forces have lost a total of more than $444000.00 service men. after the failure of their counter offensive. the ukrainian military command is trying to stabilize the
4:11 pm
situation and prevent the collapse of the front at the expense of its remaining reserves. well, the russian defense minister was talking about the recent games made by russian troops down in ab df got in particular. and he said, in general, russian troops have been gaining more control of the don't ex region. he talks about the size of the controller and said since the beginning of 20 to much for so just this year the russian troops have been able to take an extra 327 square kilometers of territory. just to put you into context. what that means that is larger than the size of an ease state, that is the space of malta. he also talked about of ukrainian dead saying that soldiers, they were laughing at losing more than $800.00 individuals on a daily basis on average. and therefore, as you heard and not quite, russia was estimating the total loss of ukrainian sold as is some 444000 individuals since the source of the conflict back in february
4:12 pm
2022. that is very different to what we heard from ukraine this week. president zalinski saying that the law says was 31000 individuals. i'm but it's not as russia that saying that there's a huge disparity here. actually the fact is there a lot higher we heard from the washington post back in 2023 saying it had sources within the us government that was already pushing the law offices of recording and soldiers and around a 170000. so you can see that there was a huge difference to what you claim is pushing out it towards probably is a reality on the ground. oh, we also heard that this was the 1st time uh that uh, russian trying to been able to take out the american fm's tank. now, on this to a long list of military equipment that russian soldiers have been able to political right on the front lines from the beginning of administration. i'm as some what i
4:13 pm
needed to the fact that the numbers are incredibly low for 1000 compared to what the defense ministry is saying. here is 400000. what all the topics did he report on? he also talks about the threats coming from potential nuclear missiles we heard reported in the u. k. just didn't the last few days that the us could be putting me to. i'm michelle's back on you. k territory. once again, if it does so, that will be the 1st time. in 15 years. they have been us and you see and myself on you, kate territory. and the defense minister also talks about the all the threats that are being faced at the moment. because you are just you just as of now, the actions of washington, which is building up its nuclear potential on the territory of the european countries. and deploying advanced means of delivering nuclear charges, are provoking radiation, chemical and biological threats. in addition,
4:14 pm
the united states has formed a network of biological aboard tories to study the properties of pathogens and the particular region that can be transmitted to humans and cause pandemic. out of 330 such facilities around 40 are located inside ukraine. he also talked about the issues in the south pacific saying that need to have increased its exercises in, in the region, and also its presence in the region that said the as a result rusher is having to do what it needs to do to protect it. the eastern board is especially for, for those the washington continues to use the rising 10 sions on the korean peninsula and in the area of taiwan island as a pretext to expand the presence of its military forces in the western pacific ocean. because this year, the scope of joint exercises between the united states and this allies is expected
4:15 pm
to increase due to the military potential of nato member countries or persons to as well as a result of that they will be increased equipment put down into the eastern own so they will be moved, training of reserves in the east and russell to be carrying out international missions with several countries, including a loud vietnam and india. the escalating situation in the middle east led the discussion between the russian foreign minister and the many prime minister in moscow on tuesday. so collaborative expressed the conviction that the many since the selling of commercial vessels in the red sea was largely a consequence of these rally at posts as rarely palestinian conflict written. you know what else we do not condone to showing the merchant ships, but we also cannot justify the aggressive actions that the united states and the u . k. are taken against that service or of the republic of human and the bed protects, without any international mandate in the form of
4:16 pm
a un security council resolution that did not allow it to be formed. mid assessed. i grade level of over the course of the last 3 months has issued statements highlight of his position, but more upon highlighting bosco's position on this matter. that instead of the united states, along with the united kingdom are currently defiant international law. as opposed to an extensive right versus not really nothing of the point of moscow that the united states and being nice to have some means to justify intervention. so that intervention cannot be military intervention more so it can include the bombing of the stage or the southern states as well as the people, particularly the man that has been in the comes from a contract for the better part of executive which really highlight some of the kinetic german crises over that period as well for ministers, that grade level and that the money problem is on the but it kind of discussed a number of possible outcomes. and i didn't get many satisfied with things like no for this law. this is what page you have any prime minister,
4:17 pm
have to say for them. and i thought for us, we suppose the palestinian people say has the right to have their own independent states with the capital in east jerusalem. and we will work in this direction to mitigate the consequences of the humanitarian disaster that we're now witnessing happening that there a double standards applied to this situation. then we in the m a taking a class stance in regard to the palestinian issue. and we shared the russian approach to that issue for this. this is best document that hasn't been issued over the course of not just the last 2 months, but over the past 2 years, or even longer, back to united states or the collected less hasn't been involved in some sort of double standard where a double standard suggests that leaving by standing at any given time is by, without the theme do force of international law or the right security council carry out strikes or even wage war against the states. but more formulas, the russian position on the model is involved as a samsung washer is currently i think, as
4:18 pm
a mediator. despite the impressions from the united states under united kingdom, trying to ensure that this conflict does not spill over to send out your students are getting nothing for minister. we need to finish that if we haven't been only weren't that contented violence e n around the gather street will create additional political and mail to risk in the region. but instead of making a collective effort to de escalate the us, somebody u k. have chosen a forceful response. so here level is less than one, issued a statement suggesting that the united states or the collective, less physical interested when they go shooting. and that statement, he said that according to these dynamics and the names of these dynamics. so it'd be, the general sense of the west has been extremely negative, is getting worse, which really suggest faxed me less than i'm interested in negotiating on that list because potentially slight roll off of me. you know what works before it, let's say competitive. well, that's what america is, capital where a member of the us air force has died after setting himself a blaze outside the gates of the is really embassy in the video that began
4:19 pm
streaming just seconds before the tragedy. the man said he was staging a final protest against washington's backing of the war in gaza. the same and active duty member of the united states air force and i will no longer be complicit in genocide about to engage in an extreme active protest compared to what people have been experiencing as health science at the hands of their colonizers, extreme at all. this is what our ruling class has decided. okay, these are distressing images that shows the 25 year old aaron bush, nels shocking protests. he was heard shouting free palestine as he was engulfed in flames. he was later pronounced that at the hospital. however, it is not the 1st such act in december, another demonstrator self, i'm only aided outside the is really consulate in the us state of georgia. well,
4:20 pm
after aaron bush, nels dudley protest, crowds gathered for the vigil outside these really embassy in washington. the more into the us soldier as well as all civilians killed by the idea and called on the us government to stop. it's support for israel. all right, let's 1st live now to to were to retired us air force, lieutenant colonel turn petoskey and colonel us service members have been part of a very vocal blocked of protesters with some extreme examples, like the air force member who set themselves on fire. how does such a strong opposition affect the military unity as well as the armed forces relationship with the federal government? clearly it matters to the military and they can tell you publication of this information. reporting of what happened is, is it's been silenced in, in the western media. so this is
4:21 pm
a really important thing that the military and the government wish to hide from the american people. i know that in there has been several pro palestinian protests and major cities across the us. what does that mean for washington? if the government continues to work against public opinion? well, in the cities where we're seeing the major protest um, most of the cities are democratically controlled and they are vote so that the current president joe biden expected to have in his race for re election this year . he won't have those votes. we know that this causes huge stress amongst us within the democratic party. so this is kind of a different issue, because when you look at the military, it tends to be a little more middle of the road and conservative and its politics. so what it tells us between the rights and the cities which are very liberal and this,
4:22 pm
this extreme protest and, and what it signifies is going on in the military, which is tends to be a more conservative or middle of the road. a political perspective that all parts of america are protesting and resisting and are not in favor of washington's policy . and israel, it is unusual to see pro tests, you know, never mind is extreme nature of this particular one, but just protest in general when it comes to the military. i'm wondering what's the likelihood washington will change as policy toward israel given all the backlash and considering the middle eastern state is, is also the largest recipient of us military aid to date. yeah, well i think money money talks in the media is owned and controlled by defense corporations which are making money. they don't want to see these a shipment stop. they don't want to see spending reduced or contracts suspended. they don't want that. so it is really not going to happen. i think what,
4:23 pm
what you have washington doing is hoping that netanyahu and the idea will be able to exterminate enough palestinians so that they can then say it's over with. and then for as far as the american press and washington, they can say, oh, well, it's over, it's over now and then go on to something else. i think that's what they're hoping that they don't, washington does not intend to respond to this kind of a resistance by people, whether they're in the military or civilian population. they don't intend to respond to the intent to silence it and wait it out, hoping that it will be over soon. forgot that. what do you make of the disparity between government action and public support in relation to these really palestinian conflict? i'll also in a global sense because i know the us does have a long, rich history of, of protests that often do sway government action. but we're not seeing that in this case. how is that likely to affect the global community when it comes to this issue?
4:24 pm
well, i think um, the rest of the world kind of sees what this particular airman saw in terms of the ruling class in this country. the ruling class in this country doesn't listen to the people. it is not responsive to the people, and that is an integrative of a split, a political split in our country, which is not right and left, but it's the authorities versus the anti authorities. so the rest of the world sees america in many ways as weak, but certainly sees the domestic political situation in the united states as vulnerable. and that for a country that has nukes, when their domestic political situation is unstable, all the rest of the world has to worry. all right, we'll leave it there. retired us air force, lieutenant colonel. karen could tell ski, colonel, thank you. thank you. the fullest farmers have been expanding their protests against ukrainian grain imports,
4:25 pm
as well as you policies that they say are harming their industry. tens of thousands of demonstrators to the, to the streets of warsaw on tuesday. i to say mass imports of cheap crane from ukraine or threats to local producers. well enough and no standards are imposed on products from ukraine, which means that production costs there are much lower and we can not compete with this prizes at all possible. you simply cannot be that our farmers have to produce less in that ukraine by the fact that there is a war imposes its prices and its screen. our people wants to live to what is, what is the impulse of grain from ukraine has a negative impact on us because it distorts all markets. we have large stock, some grain in warehouses that valuable to exports. and if all market is this to buy the imports of rain from another country, we cannot even sell all grade to all mills or field processing plants as well. as
4:26 pm
farmers have been blockading the crane border for several weeks. they're angry that some of you creating products transiting through poland are being sold on the local market. protesters are demanding a softening of e u. green rate regulations, as well as more subsidies and compensation from authorities. farmers have also been rallying and even clashing with police and several other european countries which are affected by the same problem. the
4:27 pm
made the rising wave of mass protests. the commission has urged kia of to consider the position of the european farmers and start exporting grain. the countries outside the block elections, most of them do, will do the best way, would be disappointed gradients rides. the tense runs support to see ports and sun products to countries where ukraine has always to additionally sent its products. what we need for this is a positive approach from ukraine and some coal peroration o ukrainian partners must understand the situation to fall fall most no markets kind of stand such a level of supply increase. i heard from european the problem at number marcel degrass, the dutch politician said, there is a clear conflict of interest between governments and regular people within the you
4:28 pm
. the boss is willing to support ukraine by any means. so derek, considering the police beforehand as pro romantic there. um, i would say on the, on the, on streams of the united states of america. so they're absolutely committed in terms of folding the supports for ukraine, even when it's really damages the economy of the e. u. member states itself. so that's, that's really very uh, mentioned the conflict of interest. there is interest between the governments of the member states and you're being commission and the citizens within the member states. and that's a conflict that is heating up. and that's why we see also these farmers in brussels . we see them in service. we see them demonstrating with,
4:29 pm
with more and more though you can say a marsher meets the 2nd congress of the international risk of file movement. and a forum on global multi polarity have it kicked off in moscow. representatives from over $130.00 countries are taking part. we heard from his stomach scholar and ryder and we're on those are and was saying, he says russia is providing an opportunity for those who are silenced to come together and be heard the need for the one country and the was where this is possible today and this is in this country. i am not allowed to and united states of america now and is not possible for people like, gosh, who have the view, is it we have recognize your oppression all over the alone and who are resisting that over? i can come together, they wouldn't allow it,
4:30 pm
they weren't allowed to do it the way we could come together and credit. but if you're given digital is your log and eyes is gone through. and they've given us a chance to come together to meet each other. i just be creating a memory kind of is going into the sunset and the new uh this coming. all right. do stay with our to international up next, the documentary frontline diary of an american officer of the line. scott bennett, i'm a former united states army psychological warfare officer and he served in the state department counterterrorism office under investor del bailey. so i wanted to come here to russia in the dawn bass area and.
