u. s and moroccan citizens, as well as commanders from ukraine's, as of battalion. a battalion held out against a prolonged russian seizure. mateo poll ukraine is set free oligarch, victo med va chalk. he's an ally of vladimir putin and he's facing charges of treason. 54 russian prisoners have also been released. i dial us val landominium, congratulations and your return. our guys are heroes. it's good to see everyone. it's nice. after all, the time we've been on the phone, we're proud of you what you've done for our nation proud of each and every one of the users. and i'm very glad that the team got you out of russia, and i'm glad we made the 1st step. you are safe and turkey at law. the 2nd step is, of course, to get you home. that was also a separate deal negotiated by saudi arabia. 10 foreigners who fought for ukraine have been freed by russia and sent to re add the grouping clues, aiden ashland, a british citizen, citizen, sentenced to death by moscow back separatists ghetto. elizondo explains how ukrainians are feeling about the exchange in a word ecstatic. this is

a big victory for most ukrainians who wake up this morning getting this news. and they are thrilled, quite frankly. and the reason is, is because these soldiers that were released by the russians and his prisoners swap, any soldiers would have been considered a victory for ukrainians. but this is particularly bitter sweet for them if you will use that terminology. because of who they were. more than the majority of these $215.00 prisoners that were released were soldiers from the as off regiment that held out for weeks and weeks at the as a stall, a steel plant in marty, you pool. they are considered and have been considered for many months now national heroes for what many ukrainians consider their incredible bravery during the early and middle stages of this war. and you can see it all over the city. in fact,

right behind you can actually see this is the city hall building here and keep and they've had this huge banner. it's been on the front of this building for many months now, reminding ukrainians every day on how they wanted to free these soldiers from this regiment. so this is considered a very big day for the ukrainians. they feel that this is a huge victory because of these soldiers that were now released, did the rush is a senior fellow at the gulf international forum. he explains the significance of this prisoner's fault. both sides have a lot of incentive to do this to exchange prisoners. moscow clearly wants a situation where it's pres it's soldiers taken prisoners. they're not tried for war crimes even if they've committed. and what they've done to kind of put leverage on the ukrainian side is they generally announce that prisoners are held not by moscow, but by the to puppet states. they've set up in the don baths. that would also force

other intermediaries to deal with these countries or with these provinces, as if they were countries the same time, you know, the presence of foreign prisoners being released. moscow and moscow to puppets have threatened to try them as war criminals just because you know they're not ukrainians. so it's a very, very complicated issue and i'm not sure if the timing is as significant as, as we might think in this. and of course, you have the un general assembly going together. saudi arabia and turkey seem to have a new era cooperation. there's discussion of joint production of jobs, for example. but i think it's basically designed to get positive buzz in to enhance the status of both countries that have a feel that they're not getting the respected serve in the west at a time when all the leaders of the world are together in new york, protests are broken out in russia and response to president vladimir putin. partial

military mobilization, dozens of people have been arrested demonstrations. the monitoring groups reported detentions in at least 36 cities, including moscow and saint petersburg. on wednesday, president putin and that thousands of reservists will be called up to fight in ukraine. your friends president has told world leaders that russia must be punished for invading his country law. to me as an end ski address you in general assembly saying moscow is not serious about ending the war. alan fisher reports from new york. it's rare for a president to shoe up to the un general assembly and attack another world leader directly, but that's exactly what joe biden decided to do. let us speak plainly. a permanent member of the united nations security council invaded its neighbor, attempted to erase the sovereign state from the map. russia has shamelessly violated the court tenants of the united nations charter has comments coming just

hours after vladimir putin announced the biggest military mobilization in russia. since world war 2, an announcement which warned of a nuclear response to threats to russia is raul should see these outrageous zacks for what they are putting claims he had to act. because russia was threatened, but no one threatened russia. and no one other than russia sought conflict biden's address set the scene for perhaps the most eagerly anticipated speech of this general assembly from ukrainian president vladimir zalinski. it was prerecorded and that had to be approved by a separate vote. president zalinski demanded the un itself, do more to punish russia for what he called its aggression. arrange yet the right to wold deprive delegation rats remove the right of veto eve. it is a member of the un security casa,

cheaper premiums. this conduct can not be brushed aside and dismissed as some sort of good faith mistake. the statements, financial condition were greatly exaggerated, grossly inflated objectively false, and therefore fraudulent and illegal. some examples, his club in florida mar, logo, the likely worth was $75000000.00. but the trump's allege it was worth 739000000. 40 wall street in manhattan, likely worth 220000000. but they put the value at 527000000. antrim park avenue, likely worth $84500000.00 alleged worth $135900000.00. claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to the ard of the deal. it's the ard of the steel. trump responded to the allegations on his social media site, calling the attorney general racist and accusing her of doing this to win in election

writing. i never thought this case would be brought until i saw her really bad poll numbers. she is a fraud who campaigned on a get trump platform, but experts for these kinds of white color cases can be hard to when you have to show that there is intense a specific intent to defraud and the lack of emails. and if there isn't somebody who will testify against president trump and say that he had the intent to do fraud, that will be something that he can certainly use in his defense. this is a civil case, but the attorney general has referred her fine. insta, jurisdictions that can bring criminal charges, and the internal revenue service. she is asking the judge to band the defendants for being able to work as an officer for any newer companies, for life, ban them from buying commercial real estate or work with new york banks for 5 years . and she wants to trumps to pay $250000000.00. last month, trump had a chance to defend the practice. he pleaded the 5th, so as not to incriminate himself hundreds of times. now his lawyers will make the
