7:05 am
and the only evidence they provided was a number of photos showing armored vehicles on roads in an identifiable locations the e.u. and nato expressed their concern at the news however the un and washington say they can come from any russian unit across the border was very true a number of political analysts and investigative journalists on the matter. this is a vision that happens the ukrainians and nato would have been desperate to get video of this of photographs are up on the internet it's on the t.v. see here is proof of a russian putin led invasion of ukraine they also have to ask this if the russians were going to invade ukraine would they just send in some armored personnel carriers lightly armored vehicles this is the twenty first century in modern times you don't wage a war by rolling in twenty three tanks warfare in modern times as waged with drones and fighter helicopters there were an actual russian military invasion of ukraine we would know about it and there would be no debate about it would be absolutely

ineffective and could only lead to a spiral of worsening relations that achieve nothing that divide has deepened even further after russia's retaliatory ban on western produce food that left many european companies without access to a key market earlier we spoke to the european union's ambassador to russia he expressed hope for a quick quick turn to business as usual of course some companies. may face some losses. will be looking for alternatives as i said especially those countries and those exporters to the russian market who have been under scrutiny of appropriate russian situations here face certain sanctions and barriers they have successfully overcome by finding new munitions however of course we came to maintain the trade value russian customer and i'm sure the russian customer
7:08 am
values product and i hope will come back to business as usual soon. kier has once again said it doesn't know where the missing russian for talk of the andres denon is the interior ministry suggested that he could be held by government forces he disappeared in eastern ukraine ten days ago and the ukrainian military seems undecided whether they have them or not at first they denied it an interior ministry spokesperson confirmed in an interview to eleven radio station the indeed held senate captive on accusations of assisting terrorists but then backtracked blaming a bad translation russia the u.n. and international human rights groups are demanding the correspondent is immediately released several flash mobs have taken place all over the world following a free entry campaign launched on social networks. the

7:10 am
a lot more we need to learn about him especially in relation to you know his actions after he shot by going before he shot those things are crucial to determining what happened and we spoke to some people about this latest information i'm kind of confused gold is like the information being released today you know with the name we kind of wanted all the information back when you know we said before things got to this level initially i was afraid to come out here because when i saw all the militia you know the police out here showing our prisons are you threatening our weapons in just are presenting themselves in a threatening manner i was afraid to come out here because when i started to tear gas and in a manner that they were approaching and read arresting people the atmosphere here is certainly shifted somewhat because for the first four nights what we saw were pretty violent clashes between of mostly a very heavily militarized police who were using tear gas and rubber bullets people
7:11 am
