ah ah, president tooth, it makes the choice to immediately recognize this sovereignty of ukraine's dumbass republics. also signing treaties of friendship, cooperation, and mutual assistance. president of the russian federation, vladimir putin is signing the executive decree on recognition. all the don, it's people's republic with president called the russian federation for vladimir hooton's police event that if you citing the executive decree on recognition logan's people to republic, oh no shelling but fireworks in the don boss after recognition of the independence is

officially signed in the kremlin days of happiness and broad smiles, not only in done yet, little guns, republics, but also in many russian regions where thousands of found a safe place to shelter president biden claims russia's move to recognize done. yes, the guns for autonomy represents an unusual and extraordinary threat to us security and signs more harsh sanctions against moscow and the dumbass republics with it's just gone 5 am here in moscow. my name is peter scott coming to you live from my headquarters here in the russian capital, no lights. one story has been dominating the headlines. president putin has ordered the troops be sent to don bass to maintain peace in the region. thus, after earlier, recognizing the independence of the don. yes, little guns republics. earlier i discussed the details of the signed decree with

ortiz, elliot, petro anchor. first of all, we do have to understand that we can look at these treaties between moscow and donates, as well as lou ganske as an agreement between 2 fully fledged nations. because starting this monday, moscow 3 the 2 republics as full entities of international law. but it's more importantly, it's more important to look at what exactly russia can do under these tree teeth in the 2 republics on their territory. so let me just go through the other elements of it. besides the fact that troops will now be sent to the don, it's going lugens republics. now, according to this agreement, russia will be able to use the infrastructure and the territory of the 2 new states as moscow puts it for the military bases even possibly. and the movement and the maneuvers of its own army right there. besides this v,

a borders of donnie, it's going lugens. republics will be secured and guarded. not only by the troops belonging to don, it's gotten lugens, but also by the russian army as well, which is very important here because of you can ask for your guess, what are the immediate consequences of this decision to recognize the independence? well, there it is. now, key of will probably be hesitant to start an attack or a lodge further offensive against this to because and now the understand that they will be up against the russian military. in that particular case, there are also other elements of it. for example, the economic measures that will be applied by russia from now on because they will insure further security of the banking sector of the 2 republics and financial stability as well. but what i will also want to tell you about is lot of our food and speech should have been quite short. after sinning to as the most senior

russian officials, a lot of our potent held a conversation, a hell, the council with them. and we heard from survey sure ago we heard from other government ministers that it was high time to recognize the independence or mr. prudent could have just come out and said, okay, we're doing this. we've made the historic decision, but instead mr. brewton gave a full on history lesson about the historic connection between russia and ukraine, and explained a full motivation between the story behind the kremlin move. and one of the elements of it was, of course, ensuring the safety and security of the russian speaking population in east ukraine . that's on the one hand. on the other hand, that is the military build up, the whole military aspect behind it was that name a ukraine could have become a member of nato plus sir, we do remember that the military aid from the u. s. and other nato countries has

been on the up a year on year and besides this, mr. prudent also said that he believes nato has already begun treating the ukrainian territory as a theater for it's further maneuvers and possibly even war. let's listen to what exactly mr. putin said on that shirt, him out of the when it started to explore the territory of ukraine as the future theater of military action that the future battlefield and it is aimed against russia. last year alone, it had more than $20000.00 troops. and more than 1000 equipment hardware units. so yeah, i watched this address myself and you know, as he said, he could have done it in 5 minutes, but in fight it took about an hour, and it was a bit of a hitch, a history lesson. i said learned quite a few things myself about russian ukrainian history. and obviously did mentioned something that it never mentioned before and that was an encounter with a former us president bill clemson. what did he say about that earlier?

that was more than 20 years ago when duncan was still president, a lame duck. however, in fact, that is still a major role in international politics and vladimir putin back then just stepped in replacing boris yeltsin and mr. prudent said that he made a proposal that no one has ever heard of this. the 1st on mr. poo mentioned that, and at this time around nowadays, this kind of proposal would sound as completely unbelievable that is the prospect of russia joining nato. now. what sir? mr. brewton got in response was a call, told her from bill clinton, and mr. couldn't believe that that was the time when he actually understood that under any kind of use administration, be a democrat or republican at the us administration would always treat russia as an enemy. no matter what,

there is no possibility of becoming friends. if any tv you don't want to see friend and as an ally in nazareth, but why do you want to make a nanny me out of us? the only answer that we got was, it's not about our political regime or anything else. it just, they don't need such a big and independent country, russia. so that's the answer to all the question. that's the sort of traditional american policy they pursue in the russian track machine. now moving on to the military aspect of it. so we do remember how 1st it was non lethal military aid from the us and other major nato players. then i remember how i made a few reports on that. non lethal military aid turned to lethal military aid. and we understand that once the eastern european nations became members of nato in the

course of the last 20 to 30 years. soon after that, and in a few years, they actually became a location for further deployment of nato missiles, for example. and that is something that russia has always treated as a threat. but according to mister pooping, ah, our apologies is going so caught that package. sure. if it's a slightly, an urgent meeting of the united nations security council is starting in new york, let's hear what the members there have to say. you know, and miss rosemary decarlo balls under secretary general lawyer logical and for the lease building affairs to participate in this meeting. but anyways, just so decided to just so it is up the security council will now begin in consideration of item 2 of the agenda. yet, but it is so slow this plan out of the flow to ms resume to color. thank you,

mr. president. it's with great concern and sadness that i brief the council this evening on the unfolding dangerous situation in and around ukraine. in his statement today, the secretary general was clear. the secretary general considers the decision of the russian federation to recognise the independence of certain areas of the done yet sc and hans regions to be a violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine. an inconsistent with the principles of the charter of united nations. we very much regret this decision, which risks having regional and global repercussions. we also regret the order to deploy russian troops into eastern ukraine, reportedly on a peacekeeping mission. these developments follow the decision to order a mass evacuation of civilian residents of done yet in the hands into the russian

federation. we are concerned by the escalating showing across the contact lines, reportedly leading to a number of casualties. always c e 's, special monitoring mission has recorded a total of 3231 ceasefire violations and the number's area from 18 to 20 february, 1073 cease fire violations including 926 explosions and the 100 region. and 2158. these via violations including $1100.00 explosions in done yet screech and remind we remind all involved of their responsibilities under international humanitarian law and human rights law. although the united nations is not in a position to verify the numerous claims and allegations made by various actors,

we are deeply concerned about the reports of civilian casualties, targeting a civilian infrastructure and ongoing evacuations. mister president, we are extremely concerned about the possible implications of the latest developments for the existing negotiation frameworks. amid the current risks and uncertainty, it is even more important to pursue dialogue. negotiation is the only way to address the existing differences among the key actors regarding regional security issues and the settlement of the conflict and eastern ukraine in accordance with security council resolution 2202. before the current already dangerous conditions escalate. further, we call on all relevant actors to focus their efforts on an immediate succession of

hostilities. civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected and actions and statements that may worse and the situation must be avoided. over the past few weeks, key actors have been engaged in intense diplomatic efforts to renew a rupture of conflict in the heart of europe. the secretary generally fully supports these efforts and has deplored even the possibility that a new conflict could breakout. mister president, we are committed to our long term partnership with ukraine, a founding member of the united nations, as it continues to pursue the democratic reform agenda. 30 years after independence . and once again, we were iterate the full commitment of the united nations to the sovereignty independence and territorial integrity of ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. according to general assembly resolutions.

throughout the 8 years of conflict and eastern ukraine, the united nations has continued to provide life saving humanitarian support to all in need, as well as human rights related work. during this difficult period, we are committed to stay and deliver and remain fully operational in ukraine, including the don yeske and lou haskell regents. the safety and security of our staff must be respected by all parties. mister president, the next hours and days will be critical. the risk of major conflict is real and needs to be prevented at all costs. i can assure you of the full commitment of the secretary general to work toward a deploy magic resolution of the current crisis. thank you, mr. president. yeah, lou was, when would you go? i think mr. kado for briefing just here with my now give or to those council

members who wish to make statements. yeah, but it's not like the floor to the permanent representative at the united states. thank you, mr. president. since world war 2, the united nations charter, the key tenants of which this council is mandated to uphold, has stood as a ball work to the worst impulses of empires and autocrat. earlier today, russia's president vladimir putin announced that russia will recognize as independent states, the so called d, p r, and l p r. regions the sovereign territory of ukraine, an area controlled by russia's proxy since 2014. he has since announced that he will place russian troops in these regions. he calls them

peacekeepers. this is nonsense. we know what they really are. in doing so he is put before the world a choice. we must meet the moment and we must not look away. history tells us that looking the other way in the face of such hostility will be a far more costly path. rush is clear attack on ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity is unprovoked. it is an attack on ukraine status as a you and member state. it violates a basic principle of international law, and it defies our charter. what is more, this moved by president putin, is clearly the basis for russia's attempt to create a pretext for a further invasion of ukraine. the consequences of this action will be felt far

beyond ukraine's borders. we do not have to guess at president putin's motives. to day president putin made a series of outrageous false claims about ukraine, aimed at creating a pretext for war. and immediately thereafter, announced russian troops are entering the don bus. he claimed that ukraine is seeking nuclear weapons from the west. this is not true. ukraine is in fact, one of only 4 countries to have voluntarily surrendered their nuclear weapons, the united states and to ukraine. and ukraine does want them. and then president putin asserted that russia today has a rightful claim to all territories, all territories from the russian empire, the same russian empire from before, the soviet union, from over a 100 years ago. that includes all of ukraine. it includes finland.

it includes barouche and georgia and mel dover. cars extend kurdistan, and to gk, stan, turkmenistan, whose pakistan and lithuania, latvia, and estonia. it includes parts of poland and turkey. in essence, prudent wants the world to travel back in time to time before the united nations to a time when emperors rule the world. but the rest of the world has moved forward. it is not 1919, it is 2022. the united nations was founded on the principle of the colonization, not re colonization, and we believe the vast majority of you and member states and the un security council are committed to moving forward, not going back in time. the consequences of

russia's actions will be dire across ukraine, across europe, and across the globe. in our past 2 meetings on ukraine and mention nearly 3000000 ukrainians will need food, shelter, and life saving assistance. right now, the, you and estimates the humanitarian toll will expand significantly. should russia further invade? already russian proxies dramatically increased shelling and artillery fire over the weekend, killing ukrainian civilians and soldiers. if russia bays ukraine even further, we will see a devastating loss of life, unimaginable suffering, millions of displaced people will create a refugee crisis across europe. nevertheless, russia has decline repeated entreaties to status intentions before the world,

including by secretary blinking in the security council. last thursday. colleagues, president pohden is testing our international system. he is testing our resolve and seeing just how far he can push us all. he wants to demonstrate that through force . he can make a farce of the un. we must act together in response to this crisis. over the past few weeks, the world has heard the other 14 members of the security council speak with one voice asking russia to pursue diplomacy. other members of this council, even those who often align with russia on other matters, have been clear that the sovereignty independence and territorial integrity of every you and member state should be respected and safeguarded, including ukraine. that this is a basic norm of international relations. and that it embodies the purpose of the un

charter, the sequence of events that secretary lincoln spelled out for this council. last thursday, appear to be proceeding. exactly. as he predicted. to day president putin has torn the mask agreement to shreds. we have been clear that we do not believe he will stop at that. in light of present impudence, latest actions, we must all stand up for the principles upon which this organization was founded. president biden inch issued an executive order to day that will prohibit new investment, trade, and financing in the so called dpr, an l. p. r. regions to morrow, the united states will take further measures to hold russia accountable for this clear violation of international law and ukraine. sovereignty and territorial

integrity, but we and our partners have been clear that there will be swift and severe response. we're russia to further in the ukraine. in this moment, no one can stand on the sidelines. we must make it clear that an attack on ukraine is an attack on the sovereignty of every un member state and the un charter, and that it will be met with swift and severe consequences. we continue to believe that the diplomatic table is the only place we're responsible nations resolve their differences. that is the only place to preserve peace. thank you mister president. here a little bit is my thank the representative of the united states or the statement is known as will give the floor to the permanent representative albania. thank you,

mr. president. and the thank you is judy carla for another clear and comprehensive briefing security council on this issue of a nic. and then in the strongest terms, rational decision to recognize non government control. there is a claim as independent entities. this is a breach of international law and effort to view and charter, another blood and violation of ukraine. 17 total integrity, and it puts an end to the midst minutes agreements. this act of the russian federation is nolan void has no basis and has no international legal validity. we call him the security council and all the united nations member states to reject and condemn it firmly. i've been a reiterate, it's firm position in support of the sovereignty and a total integrity of ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. mister president, less than a week ago, we were sitting in this very room of the russian initiative to discuss the

implementation of immense agreements. today, we meet at an emergency meeting exactly because of the russian federation decision to violate the very means agreement. this is a disrespect not only to the counsel and its decisions, but for the entire inverse. the principles of international law. russia is set to respect and protect the whole world has witnessed how the russian federation has continuously work to undermine the sovereignty of ukraine and to determine its geopolitical orientation. what happened today is nothing less but a bit repetitive of what we have seen in georgia in 2008. and we're crimea into then 14 meaning and aggression by fabrication of phantom republics. who is next. every you and member states should be alarmed and realized, i swayed open. the consequences of instrumental is ation of national minorities as

the weapon to undermine solving states, threatened regional and national peace and security. we should not accept the middle russia model of this w zation be exported to other parts of europe or anywhere. we reiterate our demand for the removal or military troops from the ukrainian border from the occupied territories of ukraine, including troops disguised as peacekeepers when they are simply aggressors. we're just going to cut away from that un general un meeting to move on. some of the news now the canadian parliament has passed an emergency which keeps extraordinary powers in place to bring an end to protest against covian measures that at one point had the sense of the country's capital. at a standstill, the convoy received global support on us truckers have now jumped on board at least $1000.00 american activists name themselves. the peoples convoy ain't across the

country in support of the canadian protested. the demonstrators have published that own declaration urging the canadian government to lift the emergency. 6 6 6 me well, to discuss this, we cross live now to more in steel, who's the co organizer of the american movements, the people's convoy, welcome to the program. thank you, peter. nice to be here. thank you. so what made you set up the people's convoy and why now when we got involved with the truckers prior to the american truckers prior to the canadian convoy launching li, done desk to the world renowned human rights lawyer her and i had gotten on the phone with the doesn't canadian organizers before they did their convoy to find out what was going on up there. and what we learned was that it wasn't just the truckers revolting. it was the whole country that was rising up and that they were

going to the province quarter and they were coming down to the national border. and then we organized for the course of call met, the americans met the canadians at 4 of our borders. i know in the 1st time in history that 22 neighboring nations joined forces like that to protest their respective government. and it was after that that the convoy started to form. and so i jumped on board to help the truckers organize and now we have the people conway. and it's really use the people convoy peter and that it's not just for truckers, it is, you know, dr. pilots, teachers, nurses, everybody, and it's every walk of life, every nationality, every creating color is america, the life of americans and mass, and taking part in the people, carn voice. the point of it, and the proper declaration said, is, you know, we want our freedom,

we want our liberty back, we want the emergency powers lifted. and we want accountability, want accountability for what has gone on over the last 2 years. and it's devastated our economy. it's devastated the americans and it's devastated the economies of the world. yeah, i'm just looking at some of the pitches no on the screen now. is this more of a traditional protest or do you also plan to park big trucks in laurie's in central towns to bring the substance that all you just going to progress across america? in solidarity with the canadian movement? right, we're going to progress across america. when we park is going to be on private property, we have a tremendous amount of patriots that have come forward, giving us their private land for us to park on in the evening when we marshall at night. so our plan is to keep rolling and when we stop it'll be on private land. well, i guess that's sort of this is my 2nd question as well, which is,

given the canadian parliament has extended the emergency acts to tackle the protest . i guess given that you'll be parking on private property, you'll be less concerned of similar efforts in the u. s. the calm down on your protests. yeah, yeah, and we've been fortunate. i mean, the amount of patriots is step forward is, is heart warming. people are ready for this in our country and they've been, you know, i've been getting emails all day saying what took you so long to do this? i wish we would have done it a year ago, but it took our canadian neighbors to wake up the americans. you know, they, there was a brave me, my saw a couple weeks ago. the canadians were holding a sign and it said you will keep in mind. and i said, thank you guys, you guys want to sleeping fire breathing dragon. so, you know, america, freedom loving by nature. and it's slowly been taken away from us over the last couple years. and i think a lot of america have grown complacent with that. you know, become used to it and they need to wake up if you,

all these little freedoms are being robbed from us. and takes them back, the government that to absolutely stop and they use cope. it isn't do it. there have been reports from canada, of instances of violence by the police. what's been the response of the us police to your movements so far? so far, when we've spoken to the police, they've been very supportive, very kind, very gracious and you know, like the canadians, the, the americans, we have dealt with these on the police and have been extraordinarily disrespected, you know, by the obama ministration and by this administration. so i don't think the police are going to. ringback jump on board, you know, beating and trembling with horses, their grandmother here in the american street. i just don't think that's going to

happen. not, not here, not in our country. now we saw the canadian co boy initially started off with truck is discontented, having the currency when crossing the border to canada from the u. s. but since then, he seemed to have moved to express why did discontents with the government as a whole. if you're conveys to see, excuse of, excuse me, about vaccine mandates and restrictions, or as it taking a wider aspects as well. it was never about the mandate and restrictions, even in the decor of the, in the truck or declaration it was about getting our freedoms that are liberties, back, accountability and having our constitution rein cream. so our was never so much about the mandate. if our constitution re, re, me, then there is no mandate that's against the conference and the only way they can, you know, implement that and travel the constitution. if they say this emergency.
