3:03 am
the west to started to explore the territory of ukraine as a future theater of military action. joint exercises are aimed against russia. last year alone, more than $20000.00 troops. and more than a 1000 units of hardware to part in russia, recognition off the republics comes in a fresh escalation in don bath, doesn't the sci fi violations were reported overnight? a comp on when toughness center the guns came, was in cold and attempted assassination of a local official. while intermittent shelling has been going on for days on his mind. garcia, reports from dung ask for a situation here in the near could certainly much come of than it was yesterday as vladimir putin book pad recognized independence of lucon. thinking that the new things squatted down somewhat off of the decree we heard from the russian president . but that's only here in them yet. as we've heard from our friends,
3:04 am
our contacts across the east and you crate these the conflict line and this part of the country we've heard about shelling, endless shelling with gloucester throughout the day in areas just north of here in the bulk of in cost. the cost of it, and there was also shelling in la gods. we have heard their power station was hit yesterday. there was $122.00 millimeter artillery board to bear, which is banned by the men's agreements. it shouldn't be here, but again, seas for violations are being recorded and being conducted by both sides of the conflict. that is the ukrainian military, as well as the breakaway republics, now recognized by russia. so the security situation here while perhaps here. com with that it was yesterday remains critical, remains in
3:05 am
a sense of the state of escal asia. nevertheless, it remains to be seen what the hours the coming hours will bring. because obviously the situation is developing work very quickly. the international community focus right now on what is happening here. so there is a lot of pressure all sides. good to be on their best behavior. we discussed the recent events with form the united nations weapons inspector, scott ritter. he states the west wants to embroider your train in a war something russia is trying to avoid. the security guarantee for lugens can don't. yes, we're supposed to be missing the makes the meant to agreements that agreement gone . russia made it clear that it has no validity there, there's nothing those days are over. russia is going to guarantee their security. russia said that ukraine's membership and nato represents and a, an acceptable risk. there will be no one who benefits from this. and, you know,
3:06 am
russian president vladimir putin has said this over and over again that he doesn't want to invade nato in the united states don't seem to recognizes. it's almost as if they want to war. and the irony is willing to sacrifice ukraine on the altar of false false promise of nato membership. this is the tragedy. no one will benefit from this, but the people that are going to suffer the most, and the people of ukraine will be un security cal for convenience. emergency session, off the russia, ordered pace, capers into dumbass, the u. s. still a good branding yet to none provokes violation of ukraine sovereignty, while the u. k. warned off a fresh sanctions rushes un, possibly criticized. though those reactions is highly emotional and reiterated that moscow focus is on the avoidance of wool. while joining me in the studio right now is off, he is donny armstrong. danny, thanks for coming in again. so we had a range of occupations coming from the west. how did things unfold at the un
3:07 am
security council? but it's no surprise. it's the usual suspects that have played the parts in the ukraine crisis. of course you have and you can u. s. a u. n. security council in new york, the court called rather an emergency meeting in new york. we have seen from the west of much of the same, of course, calling this violation of the sovereignty and territorial rights of not only ukraine, but it then international law is mainly those who have been ramping up. the hysteria around him in an invasion of ukraine. of course, this invasion has been and for, for some months now, russia always said it wants a diplomatic solution to this. said ukraine crisis. what unfold in the un security council was more promises of sanctions, as particularly from the u. k. a. barbara woodard, the u. k representative there in new york was adamant about a new sanction. we've seen joe biden signing an order yesterday. promising
3:08 am
sanctions against the 2 regions in guns and then yes, let's just get a little bit about what was said from the u. s. and u. k. science rushes clear attack on ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity is unprovoked. it is an attack on ukraine status as a you and member state rushes actions show, blatant contempt for international law. the united kingdom will be announcing new sanctions on russia in response to its breach of international law and attack on ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity. so we kind of gotten used to these accusations and misinterpretation that russia is a threat, rushes, the aggressor, we've also, we've got usa, this rhetoric and we've also seen the west pays no attention to the increase shelling in the dawn bass region in recent days. and of course, no attention paid to the scenes of violence in the region. of course,
3:09 am
it is worth mentioning, as well as president putin is address yesterday did start off with something of a history lecture. when he began that talk, it seems as though the west is something of the same. of course it will be, it is accused russia trying to reinstate the ussr. of course that was a bogeyman to the west. it was threatening international peace threatening the whole world as it were. and this time the u. s. representative of linda, thomas greenfield went even further and use the russian empire as a reference would need is probably q, and a potent 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 bella, ruesch,
3:10 am
and georgia and mel dover. this is something that russians have become quite accustomed to, isn't it? these accusations of expansion is the tendency of dreams. how did they respond? of course, something else that they've been accustomed to. you're absolutely right in saying that they've been accustomed to this rhetoric. they've also got used to the idea that the west completely ignores russia. security demands, as we just heard linda thomas greenfield saying that having some trouble in actually listing some of the countries that were part of the u. s. s. i says that russia has designs on annexing the, in the complete list of countries that were parts of the soviet union as well as parts of that poland and turkey. now, of course, russia has gathered, gotten use to do as it were, to these attitudes by the west. it comes as no surprise the rest of the double standards there, of course, in the u. s. and you cave,
3:11 am
in response to russia saying that russia does not uphold this part of the bargaining minutes agreement. but again, when these violations of the mincing agreement come from any other side, it seems that to go unnoticed. now, the russian side has responded to this, particularly with brushing, representative bethaly and benjamin who was president that security meeting. he says that he doesn't want to know the ukrainian military adventure at 2014, to avoid war and a blood bath in the back. just wasn't, it's important to focus on how to avoid war and force ukraine to stop it's showing . and it's pro occasions in don't ask. and lou ganske dumbass is on the brink of ukrainian military adventure, just like it was back in 20142015. we cannot allow that. that is why the russian president heated the opinions of parliamentarians and members of russian security council. as we heard the,
3:12 am
the response from russian representative and security council meeting. of course, it just goes on the line, what has been going on the past few months versus seeing as, as the aggressor in this situation with the u. s. and u. k. this by ignoring russia's demands, still promise sanction. it's become almost exhausting, isn't it? just hearing russia repeat the same line over and over again. you know, it's just and no one's listening. it seems, but, you know, thanks for coming down with the updates. a thought is danny armstrong. well, let's go see europe now where russia also faces our sanction threads over recognition of the don. yes. can the guns republics elite is condemned? it is a violation of international law. his art is paulus lear from berlin with more details . well, certainly, sanctions are on the table, many in not only the european community, but internationally slamming the russian president vladimir putin decision to recognize the provinces of lou ganske and de next, the u. s. the u. k. and the
3:13 am
e. you have all now pledged to impose sanctions. there has been a joint statement that was issued by the european commission and the european council. the european council president has held a marathon of telephone calls from last night after that announcement by president putin was made one of the cause a was with the ukrainian president in which he said, and i'm quoting the you stands by you firmly and fully supports ukrainian territorial integrity, the european commission president had this to say. the recognition of the 2 separate us territories in ukraine as a blatant violation of international law, the territorial integrity of ukraine and the minsk agreements. the e u in its partners will react with unity, firmness and with determination in solidarity with ukraine. now the u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin is scheduled later today to meet with his ukrainian counterpart. he has said that this is to quote, a predictable,
3:14 am
shameful act on behalf of russia. it comes as the american president joe biden, issued an executive order, imposing sanctions on moscow. and at the same time, prohibiting any kind of new investments, trade, or financing by the united states, follow ganske and or dentist. at the same time, over night, the us state department pulled out all its staff from revolve in ukraine, and they spent the night in poland. the nato secretary general has said that the announcement by russia and mines any kind of settlement activity and is a pretext for russian invasion, which is a sentiment that we have heard from numerous other countries. latvian prime minister, for example, has said that this latest development is a continuation of what started back in 2014, and is an attempt by russia to redraw the borders of europe to day let fear will be
3:15 am
delivering javelin anti tank missiles to ukraine. this comes as the you already approved a package of some 1200000000 euros to assist ukraine. and we now hearing that the 1st amount of some $600000000.00 euros will be handed out swiftly. we hearing from estonia, they say that they will never, except what they call an illegal decision, and then foreign ministries around the world. for example, italy, sweden and denmark have also expressed their condemnation. the u. k. prime minister by his johnson has spoken via phone with the ukranian president. he has given the british support saying that the u. k. is exploring, sending further defensive support to ukraine. and at this russian or so called russian invasion could begin in hours. and while the west complains about russia is alleged violation of international agreements that moscow has his own axe to grind,
3:16 am
it claims it was given a promise that nato would not move further east and that this was broken. digging into that dispute, his ortiz, it's ask, is, hello. politics is a dirty game, full of scandal lies and broken promises. which promises you ask. we agreed that there is no intention to expand the nato securities own further to the east. this supplies in general and not only to the german democratic republic, which we do not want to incorporate that c, then german foreign minister in 1990 telling well that nato is done when it comes to members, no more web or fill up. now, here's a map of nato members in 1990 and in 2022 to see where i'm going with the broken promises. maybe he misspoke you say maybe, but here are the new, the u. s. the u. k. france and germany. we had made it
3:17 am
clear during the 2 plus for negotiations that we would not extend nato beyond the ill. we could not therefore offer poland and others membership in nato. you think being court and ally would make you humble, but no, sometimes so, so far in twit, the only thing you can do is keep it going. i would like to state once again that neither the 2 plus for agreement nor the nato russia founding act contained promises to russia that nato would not expand to the east. the 2 plus for agreement does not mention this issue at all, and any statements to the contrary do not correspond to reality. the reality of ink on paper of all kindful evidence. a video footage. there are only 2 options here, either native and co, don't know the history of their own military alliance, all the light and the media liked there lie so much. so they spread it was that written down where is that from? was written down done of the validity. right. and right, right, right,
3:18 am
right, right. well done. well done, correct. you've got a point. do you want to show him the documents or should i? for years russia has been called a myth, a maniac and a liar. but now black on white, it's there, nato has trampled on its promise not once, not twice, but 14 times. that's how many countries east of the were the alba had become members since the ninety's. now moscow, what find that me as nato missiles rolled towards it, but when they got to ukraine? well, that was just a bit too close for comfort. nature has started exploration. take me live, ruth, technical exploration of ukraine. now it's look more suitable for us to swell usa, that is no space for our students. that is just only russian for your asia. now you might remember a reverse, but it really similar situation in cuba, soviet nuclear, just a stone's throw away from america. moscow came,
3:19 am
they were just defensive. washington, called them lawyers and said it wouldn't compromise on security and brought the world as close as it's ever been to a new can a war. benito and its allies need to be careful that as you can shout about being right shout about being principled, shout about keeping your promises but nice. oh, well, i have a habit of catching up with you. in the end, like a reaction from the spike co, in the 2020 libertarian us vice presidential candidate. he says, western involvement in the crisis will only make things worse. and i think that vladimir putin is the head of state of one of the least militarily, one of the largest powers on, on the planet. and of a, one of the, one of the larger economy, the former member of the ga and, and i'm, i'm sure this does weigh heavily. i'm not sure that anything that can potentially lead to a hot military conflict, especially when we're already seeing shelling and things like that wouldn't weigh
3:20 am
heavily on him. i'm sure. honestly, i'm sure this is weighing heavily on everyone on all sides that are having to make these kinds of decisions, which is i'm hoping that, that weighing heavily in, that desire to try to avoid conflict will lead to you know, the, the tensions receiving from this in from just respecting the rights and autonomy of people to make choices for themselves and their own local governance. whether that will happen or not totally remains to be seen. europe actually has a history of this, right? there's a history of, you know, things that happen as a result of thousands or hundreds of years of history that often lead to long simmering tensions boiling to the surface. and as an american, again giving an american perspective on this. this is a perfect example of why i don't want our government even remotely involved in this, because this is something that isn't going to end with this. however, this ends up ending and hopefully it ends peacefully and hopefully, and 2 people respecting each other's rights in their sovereignty. but however,
3:21 am
this and it isn't going to end with this and having the involvement of a superpower that's clear on the other side of the planet, i don't see how that does anything but, but in flame tension even further, i, i suspect that what's going to happen next, if he, if he does move forward with, with recognizing the or it sounds like he already has move forward with recognizing these to break away nations or, or break away people for those who don't think a new nation has been form. i think that there is already, there were definitely going to be sanctions coming from europe and apparently from the u. s. and, and probably canada and other countries as well. i hope that this can remain in this realm in the realm of, you know, of saber rattling and political posturing. and i'm not a fan of sanctions. i think sanction separate people with the, the 1st thing you want to do if you want to create a war is remove any of the relational or financial incentives that people would have to not have that war, which is why they always start with sanction. but i hope it's there have to be
3:22 am
think sins or, or anything like that. it ends with that. and that this doesn't turn into a hot war because not only just the, the lives that are loss anytime that there's any kind of military conflict. but the fact that this is the conflict between multiple nuclear powers, and although i don't think anyone wants to go there, there's always that real risk that if some one or another side feels at that there's an existential threat here, that it could go far past the hot water into a much hotter war and i hope we can avoid that. and the flare up in shelling people continue to flee from don barza into russia. more than $61000.00 to have over the cross the border. all of our q e is being off of medical and psychological supports after they cross the border. they gathering, enroll stole fund from the 9 trains carrying refugees have deposited, taking them fresh and regions. donald quarter records from the wealth of regions, main rail station, where vacuum is arriving daily by the thousands. around 10000 don bos
3:23 am
evacuees have crossed the border into the russian federation over the past several days. and that number is constantly rising there, arriving on buses and cars, some even making the journey on foot. and you can see behind me, one of the major train stations in russia's ra stove region where they're arriving by rail. ah, you have to find you listed. i came here and asked if i could house, why not help people who are in a very difficult situation. these are children and women and there are the elderly, which is very sad. we take refugees and put them in a convoy. our work is not tricky. it is to accept and accompany so that people are not abandoned and confused. as you can see behind me, this is one of the many buses that have been stopping at this train station in
3:24 am
russia's roast of region carrying don boss evacuees, people coming here, fleeing the threat of war with little more than just the shirts on their backs and whatever they could carry, as they were forced to leave their homes, their coming here. and what as for what comes next, it's not entirely sure of the nov cook. they shoot at us on the outskirts in the center like they shit more or less quietly. the situation is heating up people and novice. nothing is clear, lushly at those at the city with all this has been going on for many years. huddled in 2014 is our central street was also on fire. it was a nightmare. glass flew out. bombs fell right in the yard, so everyone believes that one day the trouble will end them. after arriving at the station, just like this one evacuated are likely to be moved to a temporary housing facility organized by the roster regional government. it's there that they'll receive free meals, a stipend from the government and a place to stay over night. from there that they'll be moved to likely to another

one of brushes, many regions that have agreed to house people for longer term state. some though are being put on by average russian citizens who have selflessly opened their doors to those in need. we were lucky enough to get an exclusive interview with a pensioner couple that had no 2nd thoughts about helping their friends at the 1st sign of trouble before we rashly printed visions of is done. vasa sawyer gone through. vinny pitiless, this is not the 1st time was 9 years ago. we also hosted to families. we went to don, vice every month, but now we don't guntee you. my parents are buried there. my friends say don't you dare go. you will be buried in nearby some say don't basses on their russian occupation. it's not true. we have always considered them ours. russians run dumbass people. these are all for ducks people. my father is from western ukraine and we were always trenches there. i and they sped at us in in 19 eighties. i was
