here while threatening to abandon their non nuclear status in such a contacts, in order to establish peace and the don boss, and to prevent the obvious threats to russia emanating from ukraine. we had no choice but to launch a special operation to d not to fi and demilitarize ukraine, the goals of which are being successfully and steadily fulfilled. i repeat once again. if the minsk agreements had been implemented, no special operation would have been needed. but the regime and key of decided otherwise, what is the criminal shelling of the republics of don bask, continues in the donuts people's republic. more than 840 people are so maids of died on the line of contact since the beginning of the escalation in february, about 2800 injured in the law. hunks people's republic, 80 people were killed in more than 250, were injured. approximately 100 civilians have been killed in just 4 weeks. since the previous meeting on july 29th was also in the armed forces of ukraine or

purposefully destroying civilian infrastructure, including kindergarten schools and medical facilities, power lines, and gout gas pod plans you're going to go, but they do not spare even those cities. and don bos that until recently were under their control such as las a chance, for example. and our former western partners instead of condemning their ukrainian mentees are supplying them with more and more new types of weapons which reach areas that key of could not previously reach in doing this, they're becoming accomplices in crimes against the civilian population. and given that the use of summer tillery systems, as the craniums themselves admit, is impossible, without coordinating the targets with suppliers, they are becoming cor perpetrators as well, which is primarily concerns the american hi mars multiple launch rocket systems which were used for instance, to strike the correctional facility in july of july 29th,

claiming the lives of more than 50 ukrainian prisoners of war. we know that the president of ukraine is well aware of the fact that it is the armed forces of ukraine who are behind this crime. despite the fact that he sold us a false version today of russia being responsible for this mister president. from the very beginning we warned the ukrainian arm groups were actively using civilian facilities for military purposes. meanwhile, local residents are prohibited from leaving their homes and all their attempts to independently evacuate to safe areas are brutally suppressed. and there have been so many incidents of ukrainian, artillery and ammunition being situated on the territory of education on medical facility. as over the 6 months that even pro western human rights organizations, such as amnesty international can no longer ignore them. however, instead of forcing key of to comply with international humanitarian law or western

colleagues after the tantrum thrown by ukraine, authorities were used to getting away with everything chose to publicly castigate amnesty international itself instead. and today miss decarlo found words to express concern in connection with the upcoming trial of off nazis and said us, but i said nothing of the horrific crimes. they committed in their violations of international humanitarian law, including brutal torture information regarding which is available to the international civil service community and including miss decarlo herself and the united nations has we're for enough information about this as well, who from the you on whom miss decarlo represents this all frankly, it looks extremely cynical and denigrates the values of freedom of speech and

it's a shame that you don't understand this, but ordinary ukrainians are well aware of this. they encounter the atrocities of the armed forces of you credit, the national battalions and their inhumane mat methods. louise site, just one example at the meeting in july, but he showed you a photo of the lepus stock or pedal anti personnel mine to day for greater clarity . i will show you the training models for these mines, which ukrainian troops scattered by the hundreds and the don boss and the territories liberated by the russian army and even throw them into the territory of russia. with the recruiters imagined such an inconspicuous tuttle lying on the ground in the grass. it can also be camouflage colored, which makes it virtually invisible on the ground when you are considering that the ukrainian armed forces scatter. these mines in towns and villages far behind the front lines. it is not soldiers that they pose a threat to at all. no, they are purposefully designed this target civilians,

especially children who risk stepping on them or picking up such a toy. out of curiosity, 47 explosions of such minds have already been recorded in the dynamics, people's republic. this pedal mine is living proof of the sadistic savage nature of the ukrainian regime and a symbol of its true attitude towards the people of the east and south east of the country. and of course, the people see and understand this hands the treatment of russian soldiers as liberators, which is widespread in the liberated territories. this in no way fits into the narrative promoted by give, and its western sponsors. ukraine is therefore resorting to terror and intimidation tactics in her son's aversion. hark of regions. but this cannot change the minds of people who have seen the true face of the key of regime key of is losing the battle for mines and its western backers who are waging a proxy war against russia to the last ukrainian are getting mired, deeper and deeper and supporting this anti popular anti human regime. turning

a blind eye to manifestations of neo nazis. i'm extreme nationalism marissa phobia . they are also shooting themselves in the foot with futile attempts. shy, slee russia, politically and economically than again, that is something you will have to answer for, to your own voters and taxpayers in the loop, as you will have to answer to the international community for the unprecedented mandation campaign at to discredit russia that you have unleashed never before, since nazi girls propaganda has a russia that has the world encountered such a degree of falsification which western and ukrainian sobs experts are using. there is no doubt that history will be able to give the correct assessment. all those are obedient colleague, most for one, for pounded to day. i'll albin, as you will, will about russian prisoners that are allegedly being recruited by the russian authorities. however, he forgot to mention those released from ukrainian prisons,

ukrainian prisoners who are handed out weapons in the very 1st days of the special military operation and who became made themselves known by pillaging and murderers, and continued to terrorize ukrainian towns. we will go into this in detail at one of the future meetings of the council, mister president, he till at one of the future meetings of the council. mister president, the so called block see initiative of the un secretary general is considered to be a sort of success story, especially in terms of the unhindered expert of food from ukraine. however, there are alarming trends here as well. over the 40 weeks of export operations, only one of the $34.00 dry cargo ships went to africa. this is completely inconsistent with the originally stated goal of combating hunger and countries in dire need of grain. here, of course, it is also worth recalling the public image failure with the sending of the 1st vessel rezone, which essentially,

instead of bringing long awaited weeds to lebanon, brought corn instead in corn for animal feed and died renewals work in this context . there is much to think about regarding the comment made by the secretary general in the port of odessa on august 19th, when he said that green exports and reduce price is on global markets will not bring relief to needed countries who cannot afford to buy them anyway, brooks is a huge in this situation, clearly reveals the true causes of global food security issues. ukrainian green has nothing to do with the main reason is western countries own economic miscalculations and the consequences of anti russian sanctions, which we have repeatedly spoken about in this chamber. it was the sanctions that ruptured logistical and financial chains, which in turn provoked a sharp dragoon market supply as supply excuses about the supposedly target nature of unilateral measures cannot feel hungry people storming rooms. we call in all those involved to take the package nature of the black sea initiative with full

seriousness and not to postpone resolving the financial and logistical problems that impede the export of russian food and fertilizers to the global market. we emphasized that the extension of the great deal, the term of which is $120.00 days from the date of signing would be facilitated by tangible results for russian foreign trade operator is equivalent to those we are seeing for ukrainian exports with you so far. there are still significant reserves in this part of the grain deal. mister president, it is no secret that the western colleagues who requested today's meeting were resolved to have it coincide with the independence day of ukraine. much has been said about this today. a number of our colleagues directly point to russia as a threat. ukrainian independence. we cannot agree with this was 8 years after the launch of the my don project. it has become obvious that the mean and in fact, the only threat to the independence of ukraine is the current government and give

over these years robust was the mechanisms have been formed for the external governance of ukraine, which are visible to the naked eye. we know that at all levels of government and all the key agency of the current, she agencies of this country, there are western advisors without whose concurrence not a single major decision is made. it is enough to recall how in 2014, the notorious victoria knew and resolve the issues regarding the formation of the ukrainian government by phone with the american ambassador in key of or recall the current president of the united states, joe biden, boasting that he had used crude blackmail to remove the prosecutor general of ukraine. if this is independence than what is dependence. and is there anything for ukrainians to celebrate on this day throughout zalesky rain and particularly since february 24th, the opposition has been completely eliminated in the country. descent has been suppressed opposition, media have been shut down. people are being persecuted, arrested, and put in prison. just for reading russian language, news,

and watching russian channels. and now in accordance with the new law and collaboration, as they are also being present for accepting humanitarian assistance for ukraine from russia, ukraine has become fully transformed into a backwards ruthless anti russia and is constantly moving towards a complete, logical, and political bankruptcy. in order to assess the degree of this profound rissa for the degradation i would like to once again caught the word, said the other day by ukrainian ambassador to gal kazakhstan, petro verbal epsky. after the murder of daria do again, i, he openly declared, and i quote, we are trying to kill as many of them as possible. the more russians we kill now, the fewer our children will have to kill, that's all and of quotes. and this was said by the ambassador of a country in which these seem russians not only live, but make up a very significant part of the population. does such a country and such an inhumane regime have a future. our western colleagues can prolong its agony,

but they cannot prevent its fiasco. therefore, in conclusion, i would like to express my wish for the brotherly brotherly people of ukraine to finally gain freedom and the opportunity to build a society that would respect fundamental human rights and national identity. and would live in peace with its neighbors. that our is already close, despite all the efforts of the key of regime and it's western patrons. thank you. well, there we are, that sir roches ambassador at the un security council meeting regarding the war in the ukraine. he said, responsibility for this lies with a key of reason and glorification of nazi criminals. he said quote, we had no choice but to launch a special military operation. he also talks about people who don't bus region describing actions there as criminal, shoving and made some comments about the grain deal. but kristin, that's when he joins us from the united nations now. so kristen, what did you make of the russian federation?

a master's comments there. well, we heard the russian ambassador pushing back against accusations coming from the west and nato, a lion countries that it's purely rushes invasion of ukraine, which is causing the strife that is being felt not only in ukraine, but across its borders. i, he accused the west of a double standard when it comes to the situation. they are often ignoring abuses by ukraine from its failure to live up to the minsk agreement to placing weapons and military equipment in locations near schools and hospitals, or using land mines in russian controlled territories. and now it's important to note out point out that the u. n as well, has a called russia's invasion of ukraine, illegal and at the base of this conflict. but what i think we heard there from the

russian ambassador in pointing to double standards is an attempt to continue to drive wedges in the world population. and if you listen to other council members who've been speaking as well, places like can yet representing places of countries like kenya or india. are you here growing concerned about a return to cold war era politics and the impact that that is having on other countries around the world, whether it's in the form of food prices or growing a hunger and instability and governments as well. so i think the russian ambassador was attempting to play on those fears. i'm not likely to change any of the nato countries talking points on this, but maybe to a, make more concerned more for the un and international community to deal with in terms of fall out from the conflict of her kristin. stay with us because her

earlier ukraine's president addressed the security council. mister lensky, accused moscow of nuclear black malice listening. what's happening right now is that russia has put the world on the brink of a radiation catastrophe. its effect that the russian military has turned the territory of the largest nuclear power plant in europe. does a parisian nuclear power plant into a war zone. russia is responsible for arm provocation shelling and deployment of terrorists on the territory of the station under the russian flag. now, europe and neighboring regions faced the tread of radiation pollution and the un secretary general and target harish highlighted the devastating effect the war is having to lay marks or serve and 3 magic milestone. 6 months since russia's 24th was of horribly invasion of ukraine. during these devastating periods, thousands of civilians have been killed and the injures,

including others of children, and countless others have lost their family members, friends, and loved ones. well, there seemed great violations of international human rights law and internationally that in law committed with little to no accountability. so back to our question that the u. n. so lots of speeches there, marking independence day in 6 months since russia's invasion. can we expect any further action from the international community? well, the security council is divided with a, for all of the reasons i just talked about with russia on one side in nato aline, countries on the other. so the security council taking action is out of the question, what we have here is the united nations being left to pick up the pieces of this conflict in terms of trying to get more food out of ukraine and more fertilizer out of russia to help deal with rising food costs and growing instability in many

countries, and also to mediate between the sides when it comes to how these average a nuclear power plant is being run at the moment. that is a something that the u. n. is concerned about and trying to address by helping the international atomic energy agency get a mission, a team of investigators. and to take a look at the situation. com. tensions and hopefully come to some sort of agreement to keep that plant out of harm's way as this conflict continues on the you and also being called to investigate human rights abuses being alleged by both sides. so what we're seeing in the council meeting here is no signs of backing down from either ukraine or russia, but increasingly the united nations and the international community being left to

deal with the fall out of that conflict. kristen sumi at the u. n for us. thank you both to raise a bow as more from kia on the how the days being marked by ukrainians. we're here in my dan, in the center of keep not far away from independence where, where people have been coming here steadily in a way to remembers those they have lost or to talk about the war of something that has been very, very traumatizing for them. we're here writing a memorial that's been put with flags right here. it's a with people that have been killed in doing the war. thousands of people have been killed and injured and millions have been displaced by the conflict. and people are coming here and they're writing on this book that you can see. right where i am. there are stories of personal loss and what has been happening to them all this months. pictures of soldier that had been killed and other types of stories when

they're telling us that they want this to be a part of history of what has happened in this country this past month. and right behind me, all those russian tanks that have been destroyed. in this past 6 months, they had been put here as an act of defiance or government authorities were saying that there were russia was hoping to be parading their troops through this plaza when this war began. and this is what they got instead destroyed tank. so suddenly there's to have lots of meaning on this day for people here. and when you talk to them, they say that independence day for their means being closer to europe, being closer to freedom, being closer to human rights. and they want to be further away from moscow's authoritarian rule. but we just reported the bible administration is announced its biggest military aid for ukraine will. it's across a live to our white house correspondent. kimberly how could so kimberly, what more can you tell us about the state almost $3000000000.00. this is

in addition to the 10600000000 and security assistance that the united states have provided over the past 6 months. but what makes this latest security package different is that this is essentially a security package for the long term app till now. what the pentagon had been providing is the security that was to address ukraine's immediate needs. in other words, weapons and ammunition that the pentagon had in stock that could be shipped quickly and really could address the security concerns that were immediate. but now be a security concerns for the medium to long term future are what are going to be addressed through the department of defense's long term contracts. so what we know is this could be anti armor, anti aircraft missiles to be used against russian helicopters, as well as tanks. now, what this also means is that this will allow the ukrainian military to acquire anti

defense systems, anti air systems, and munitions and radar. and essentially, this is coming at a very significant time because as we've been pointing out, not only is this the of marking the 6 months since russia embedded ukraine. but this is also the 6 month anniversary of their rather this is barking. the 1991 split from ukraine's flipping from the soviet union. so this does have a significance, but we should also point out there what is significant to is the really commitment of the united states. because in giving and signaling this latest security package, what the u. s. the saying is that the united states is here for the long haul. because what this means is that if you're giving this kind of assistance, there would have to be us soldiers that are going to be a part of this package signaling that there are going to be u. s. troops in europe for the foreseeable future. kimberly how cats and thanks for

that from washington d. c. ah, israel says it can't accept a revival of the nuclear deal with iran warning it will be used to destabilize the world. it follows accusations from iran's nuclear chief that israel has been waging psychological warfare to sabotage a return to the 2015 agreement. iran has denied us media reports that it dropped some key demands from the deal. israel is not against any agreement. we are against this agreement because it is a bad one because it cannot be accepted as it is written right now. it would give iran a $100000000000.00 a year. this money will not build schools or hospitals. this is a $100000000000.00 a year. that will be used to undermine stability in the middle east and spread

terror around the globe. santa towel for her badge on the joint comprehensive plan of action was the result of years of negotiations. the final agreement was meant to end all allegations that under the deal, iran excepted to restrict his nuclear program. and he brought access to inspectors from the international atomic energy agency to have in order to restore trust with yes. and at the same time, all sanctions imposed under the pretext of the nuclear allegations that were supposed to be lifted as now a criminal regime which has a legal nuclear activities and doesn't give access to the i. e i. e has stage psychological operations against iran over the past few days. we don't expect the i . e a to continue it demands him, do, and it's not acceptable for it to do so. shock. the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court is in sedans are for region to meet survivors of the fighting that began in 2003 kevin cons visit comes after war crimes trial began.

early this year. the alley mohammed ali abdel rahman, who is the former leader of the government backed militia, known as the jesuit. he denies all the charges. well, it's the 1st such trial connected to the conflict in offer you an estimate. the fighting has killed at least 300000 people and displaced more than 2000000. and the chief prosecutor of international criminal court came con, joins a snout from nailer in. dr. thanks for joining us. so i re abdur rahman is already on trial. so what do you hope to achieve there now once ensured that cooperation or improves to ensure that her we can conclude effectively the case against mister abdur rahman. but there's other warrants that are well known the warrants that the court issued regarding former president omar bashir. mister said, and mister harun data in custody in khartoum on other matters and to make sure that

they can be held accountable for the allegations in relation to a war, crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide effectively. so it's really to build cooperation to hear from the victims and to move forward because we need to show that international criminal justice can have an impact. and why did bringing him to trial take so long? do you think well, i think for number of reasons, i think there was a lot of, there was no cooperation form for my president or my i'll be share my predecessor hi beneath the situation between in 2012 until the fall of former president to omar bashir, in the end of 2019 and also because sir, these are difficult cases, but i think really what i'm trying to do in the one year since i assume my new responsibilities is to create a new dynamic being in the countries. whether that's a here in dar for,

but we need continuous field presence when need to move forward more quickly and actually show that international criminal justice is not of historical interest. but it can have a real effect in people's lives. and we need to catch up with the demands, the legitimate demands of x of the states, but mostly of victims and survivors. and i think her, this is what we're trying to do on this mission. and what i've been trying to do since i assume my new responsibilities last year, you mentioned demands there. how does all this impact your approach to this trial? well, you know, i am grateful things are a much better now than the word during the time of former president. omar bashir, i mean saddam yesterday for the 1st time since the security council referred the matter of dar 4 in 2005. i briefed the security council from sedan, i had the opportunity of going to a south daf for and central dar 4 and going to the cam. so all of that is,

is positive. but what we need is to move beyond the words of promises and actually have the type of concrete cooperation in which archives are opened up. we have an office here in khartoum, so we can be continuously here. work with more focus, more engaged to the government, a government of sudan, and with victims. and actually get some answers to the requests of for assistance so that we can actually move forward and her, you know, close the situation after all these years. but we can't close until they some wide justice that is felt by the communities. and that's what we're trying to focus on when indeed, when you talk about victims and, and families just how devastating has this been for people over the years. i think it's very difficult to put that into words, and every time i speak to victims and survivors around the world, it's a deeply humbling experience. and the individuals in sudan to people i met

in da for our no exception. i went to the coma camp in south dawn and i saw the physical injuries that some of them wanted to show me. i've read the accounts i opened the trial against mister alec reshape abdur rahman, and i see a combination these extreme hope. they're actually extreme gratitude to the international community and folk for, for my office for doing work. and actually, i think we don't deserve that type of gratitude. we need to work much more and make sure justice has a wider impact than just eliquis shape. but one thing i will say very clearly to your viewers, justice matters to victims enormously at not because it's some abstract concept. but people that have been marginalized people that feel that their lives don't match at people that have been violated in a parent ways. they want to have validation that their lives mattered, that their lives continue to matter. and what the insured was not normal. it was not acceptable. and yes, that it may well be illegal and criminal,

and that's why we have a judicial process to separate truth from fiction. and i think it means an awful lot to those victims. but what they endured in 2003 in 2004 is actually continuing. because when i was in cut, my camp, which is open in 2004, which is the time period that we are also looking at in the, in the trials and in the warrants. i saw children that were newly born children, that was 7 or 8 years old. they'd been born and you know, in those camps, father's, grandfathers of died in those camps. and every day they are reminded that than they're not at home and why they're not at home because they fled in fear of their lives. and i think this is why we need to feel with a greater sense of purpose that international criminal justice needs to be seen as relevant and a collective obligation. it's too important, just leave it to the i, c. c. and it's too important to leave it to states alone or to the victims alone. we need to feel a collective responsibility bound by together, by our humanity,

as well as legal obligations to make sure that we fulfill the promise that we keep uttering of never again. but which becomes a fiction because we see time and time again, people's rights are shredded to pieces against the power of the bullet or the bully . ok, we leave it their chief prosecutor of the international criminal court. kareem khan . we very much appreciate your time. thank you. thank you sir. a fuck his starnes, that prime minister has met cutters in air doing a 2 day visit to the golf state. shake time im, been hammered of fanny and chabarise sharif reviewed bilateral and economic ties. sharif is seeking long term investments as his country struggles with the severe economic crisis. ah.
