troops making a last stand in the devastated city. putin said garish. have been misled about the situation on ground. do you remember? there are no military actions being conducted in the style steel factory. we had from the ukrainian government that there are civilians inside the compound. in that case, ukrainian military personnel are obliged to let them go. the simple thing is with regard to evacuating those people. mister secretary general, you have been deceived. under misled over a 100000 people have left mary paul. they can go anywhere they want. some people want to go to russia, some to ukraine. we need to work together with the armed forces of russia and the armed forces of ukraine, so that we can resolve the problem. this would be an initial operation to evacuate . the villas from the factory. russia has constantly accused that this evacuation was never coded, doubts. russia also declared that safe passage has never been used to. if i could

go civilians proposed closer to mary was monitoring the talks from moscow. the un secretary general, i was here on a mission for peace and we have just received a read out from the united nations press office who are issued a statement following a 2 hour meeting between flatter me a prudent and antonio terrace. and according to, as the un as statements, the russian president vladimir putin has agreed in principle to i an agreement that would see the united nations and the international committee for the red cross. it facilitates the exits of those civilians that are held. i hold up in the as of salt steel plants and this evacuation would, of course be with the coordination of the russian defense ministry as well as ukrainian officials. according to this as statement from the united nations at the

russian president, her and the as secretary general have agreed to conduct a follow up discussion with at the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs, as well as the russian defense ministry. so seemingly the impossible task of achieving any kind of a resolution to any of the ongoing crises that are happening in ukraine has been achieved for now. in theory by antonio terrace, you guys intelligence agency says about 15000 russian troops have been killed since the war began. russia has only acknowledged $1300.00 trip deaths and says a few than $4000.00 others have been injured. versus defense secretary told parliament the actual figure is far higher. russia is also believed to have lost 2000 and vehicles along with 60 helicopters. and fighter jets or 40 countries have agreed to meet monthly to discuss arming ukraine. the 1st meeting of the broad coalition was held at the u. s. s. ramstein in germany,

and after coming under pressure for refusing to provide ukraine with heavy weapons, the german government performed a major policy you 10 step with that. after his surprised visit to key if last weekend u. s. defense faculty, lloyd austin, more than 40 defense ministers and officials of countries worldwide that they needed to do more for ukraine to win the war. so we don't have any time to waste the briefings today laid out clearly why the coming weeks will be so crucial for ukraine. so we gotta move at the speed of war. and i know that all the leaders leave today more resolve than ever to support ukraine in his fight against russian aggression and atrocities. he used ramstein, airbase in germany, the largest us be outside africa and asia together. the location was significant

because especially germany had been reluctant to send heavy weapons to ukraine, not anymore. guest and she does. we decided on monday to support ukraine with a pot anti aircraft system, which is exactly what you cry needs right now to security is face from the ground. this has become clear again today about the gay part or teter, anti aircraft systems are not the combat. thanks ukraine had asked 4 weeks ago, but it is seen as a breakthrough after the german government was worried about being drawn into a war with russia. and chancellor all of shows want a few days ago for the possibility of a nuclear war. while many in europe are looking at germany to lead efforts to support your grand united states has now stepped in. with this meeting on german soil, united states has managed to convince countries like germany who were still reluctant to send happy weapons to make a turn around. but the main question now is how nervous this will make people hear that the war will expand beyond ukraine. steadfast and from the ramstein base in

germany. again, my cough is director of institute of political studies and a former spokesman for president putin jones. his lie from moscow, thanks very much for being with us. we saw antonia good tears just visit that to, to russia. and he said, one thing that was true and obvious and no arguments can change that we have no ukrainian troops in the territory, the russian federation. but we have russian troops in the territory of the ukrainian federation. what will it take for russia to come to seize, fall and to remove those troops from ukraine? ah, russia publish a claim in the months of all stopped political depression liberating called all difficult prisoners and the most support trended or lessons of what you paid him on because those political prisoners, my friend, for example, if you need to get up and put your friends and we do all that, i mean,

a position to train the new course. now you capture it, and there's a room in texas and cetera. so if you great also didn't cation of your grades, it's me and all passion a sense will be good. but i have it in all precious war criminals should be uncharged. and so the military station, its meaning that no military division of the nato countries all that you can direct me on demand to your demand a similar to the store. but in the meantime, you, there have been a lot of losses. we've had from say, from us defensive to note austin today that russia's arsenal is being depleted. he reiterated what he said on monday, we want to see russia, we can, to the degree that it can't do the kinds of things that it does in invading ukraine, does putin, except that there will be a risk for russia if it continues with the war and ukraine that it will essentially

keep on losing material and people to know great avail. you know, russia during kids i should say, often defend them. good country because of the loss was many of this was started out from not successful mid term, but you lost the flagship of the black sea fleet. the mascara you've apparently lost, according to the defense of trees, lost a quarter of russia's pre invasion strength, more than 2000 ahmed vehicles. out at least $530.00 tanks, 60 a craft. how long can russia keep on with those kind of losses? because to the russian people, russians submit a strong belief that now the united states are medical supply, your grades and making on pay rasa. rome you create yes,

and we have to pull this on the russia anyway. it will be much more biggest threats in the future. what will you do the, the moment at least 5000000 people have left ukraine. so the suggestion that people were wanted to be liberated, this is perhaps people watching from the outside. perhaps rather incredible. what you can do if you keep these areas and people don't want to go back to them, you can move people forcibly from russia into ukraine to occupy them. what you're going to do. because well, people left not from russia, people left the rooms at war digits of people like and people with conditions which they kept in europe in the concert as a union concert was a social subsidies. and it just, i think i did it and i would be upset after recovering calls, normal government, if you create one so that people will be back. and as you may know,

most of the criminals doesn't like me on that. it's not to get a couple of support, no more than 2 percent, but nevertheless not to play a bit important role is that ukranian government, if you look at the structure, but that seems to be very few neo nazis as far as we can figure out. actually operating and you can, there may be some right wing groups, but it's not certainly the government lensky is not a no, no he's, he's jewish isn't. he's not unlikely to be a no, no, not see. if i can bring you back to what you have to general, so to raise today, the issue of war crime is during the visit to moscow will rush back an independent investigation into crime. this in ukraine, of course, would be fully support independent nation. but depending mitigation meetings have been home, i joined a job, a native members imongary investigations and granted us which is june and july

all the united states of america such as japan and south. but i did vendor to the case investigation. such cancers like south africa or a z, d, indonesia, malaysia. it's really built relcom by us. so you're michael, thank you very much need for taking the term shorter us. nice. 3 people have been killed and 7 injured in the latest rush and asked strikes and shelling in the city of hawk eve as, according to the regional governor, ukraine's 2nd largest city is seen some of the worst fighting since russian forces withdrew from around keith. are you crazy? russian rockets flew at a low altitude over europe's largest nuclear power plant before hitting a nearby commercial center. and this is use of richer killing one person. parisha is the last large city under ukrainian control in the southeast when ukrainians fleeing the front lines have headed there. but reinforcements are being sent and
