this really appreciate life ah, russian lawmakers give the green light to send the military forces abroad. offshore request on the president about a man who to know says he has no immediate plans to use that authorization in the newly recognized on bus republics. that comes after president fulton recognized in advance of the romance can look out for public supposing to ensure peace in the region. here i am certain we haven't been abandoned and that we have a future. we greeted the knees with tears and we are happy. at least there will now be order. the bombings will stop and people will be able to lead normal lives was told, it's better to put on a bullet proof vest before stop working. we are now waiting for the red cross to who are going to deliver water to thanks for the people here are corresponding

reports from the don bath as a workers the liver much needed supplies and made reports of sci fi violations from both sides of the border and has reaction from the west. germany suspends an old stream to gas pipeline. as western powers, gore up the sanctions against moscow with from moscow. thanks for joining us tonight on our team international and daniel wilkins wherever you are this evening. welcome to the program. and we saw that with breaking news at the top of this, our, the upper house of russia's parliament has approved the president's request to deploy the armed forces abroad. and south for the low house ratified trophies of cooperation with the new to recognize students and low balance republics who can now cross life. so as to my jaw research editor at india to day, sir, thanks for joining us. good. have you on the program today?

india has remained very much neutral on this issue to refuse to support or condemn russia's recognition of the republics urging all sides though to de escalate the situation. to get back to the negotiation table was the view from new delhi. do you think? well, the 1st reason of course, is because of historic dies between russia and india. i mean, you know, russia has stood by india ever since india got independence on each and every issue . so in new delhi would not want to jeopardize it, you know, strong defense ties, strong economic links with russia. so that is one reason number 2. the reason is because i think you really feel that nato countries are following double standards. and when it comes to this whole issue of, you know,

recognition that russia has given to don bass, don't know why. and the west has double standards when it for example, big issue of course of all the west follow the different kinds of standard browsers completely different set of standards on donna's and so and, and then the code to principally the region india has is that india doesn't want to interfere certainly doesn't want to use to break out all 3 of you. big nation, india and russia. both are the younger nations. they will, they will one, she added thought he'll sovereign if you wouldn't want to sort of re, jones does your it does breaking out so. so these are all the strong concerns in india, and i must make this to put in is very popular actually among the indian population . so i think these are the various reasons why india taking such

a prince from sand is certainly interesting comparing the positions of various global powers on nathan. one thing i do want to speak about is media coverage, because obviously russia's recognition of the don't mass republics have been very widely condemned by western media. i want to ask you about the indian media coverage only great in crisis. what's been there there? angle, i guess on this obviously the russian side is viewing. this is very much a step towards pace and to stabilize and which ration western powers west the media viewing this as right, sitting up tension on hostility. how is indian press covering that delicate balance? you know, indian presses very large in size. we have over 100000 publications. we have about 424 into 7 and news channels. so i would say it's kind of mixed in the sense that, you know, there is a part of the liberal press in india,

which has taken it up in a very principal manner. and they have been critical of nato signed and the signs of the west, especially the european powers and the us. but there is a section of press and india, which is very gun, go very nationalistic, which kind of views that you know, the whole issue in, you know, sort of more i would say, influenced by western media somehow. and let me point this out as a small bit of criticism for russia hasn't played a very aggressive role in terms of making express international. it doesn't come with the west that i think it's high time. russia should do that. russia should intermingle with the indian brett influence. press all over, just like western media, dove, but despite the liberal press and india has been very much in support of russia

on this issue. very good to go of the nato countries just to get back to, to the salient issue of the day and not as the approval of the russian parliament for the potential use of deployment of russian troops abroad in a potentially peacekeeping role. that's what the russian side is, is saying. do you think the potential use of peacekeepers or russian peacekeepers in the don bus region, potentially inflating the situation further, or willis stabilize things and bring under control. the shelling that's been going on from both sides. really bring some stability to the region because 2 very different points of view with i would, i would consider it, it would, it would actually stay below. i mean, after all, you had the means agreement for the last 7 years. right. i mean that i think despite the failures and it did bring about

a certain kind of stability to the reason. so i think it would stabilize the reason rather than unless natal follows the very aggressive policy. and unless you know, you know, the. busy sort of influence of the entire issue and that the government and ukraine . otherwise i think it would have a very stable. i mean that's the only way you need to talk to both sides. you need to bring down the temperature. busy need to put down, stop violence has to be, you know, several sort of cds or border, i mean talks between the 2 sides. and i think the broad calling doors of the minced agreement would be followed in this case. so i think it would provide a very sort of stability is certainly hope that the both sides will get back to negotiation table. but certainly, joe botton, the us president said, and i'm quoting here,

but roger's latest moves confused on unusual and extraordinary threats, security threat. the foreign policy of the united states. do you agree with that sentiment? do you think that what russia has done does post some sort of threat to washington? well, if you, if you look after your own region and provide stability, why will it sort of falls a credit to the u. s, which is like pounds or miles of a number one. number 2, if you look at joe biden, i mean, he began as a liberal when he came, you know, he was supposed to be opposing the kind of steps taken by the previous regime. sort of very lot of international aggression by mr. trump. but as times boston, mr biden is again, going back to that by being doing father little of water mr. trump did on, i've got his on again, a similar kind of situation here. and i think is obviously on the fred because the

faces he faces an election 2 years later in which it seems that trump is becoming very popular. so i think this is an attempt to, by just dividing to kind of move a 180 degrees from his original position of being a liberal, to a more aggressive sort of stance that he's taking today. so he's obviously under a lot of threats. i think and he's playing died, but i think it would certainly if you look out, it's like india in india. it's a, it's a new nation, right. $70.00. if we take care of father population and i said it really, why should they threaten the united states or natal? it's a very similar situation. so i mean, after all, creamy, you know, you play and then russia, what font all historically they were considered doing countries. right. that will part of the soviet union. you know, the very much part of the history since i think what 11th and judy or something

like that. so i'm surprised that this is really become such a big issue, a threat to nato countries. and of course, the other problem is that then you would have nato, almost breathing down the neck of marcia, because this whole business of having, having some, you know, a buffering between would simply end. so i think, i think it's a, it's a nato is being rather aggressive on this issue. they have to follow. in fact, many democratic politicians have been critical of mr. biden. on this issue, dick consider that, for example, they have made the point that ukraine should never be a member of the natal, because if they do, russia wouldn't selected by nato directly. i could border and i don't, they had both sides really need to see each other security concerns and global priorities to come to some sort of compromise to my jaw in today. thanks so much

for your time. we appreciate it. thank you. thank you very much. now, just a little earlier aren't easily franco, wasn't a shooter with me to discuss some of the developments that have happened over the last few days. house. everything that's been said doesn't mean at the moment that the russian troops are marching across the border, that there was an army hardware is currently being sent over to the republics of don bass. mr. prudent pretty much said, well, for now we'll have to look at the situation. we'll have to see where this goes and if there is a necessity for it, in that case mister prudent could actually say, hey, well, now it's time to act. but at least this is something that the russian legal system requires. he's now got the green light from the opera house of the russian

parliament to deploy russian troops abroad. again, like i said, if there is the need for that, now, what that means for the locals. what that means for the situation on the ground perhaps, is that the, the ukrainian army won't be emboldened to further attack these 2 republics that have now been recognized by russia. we've heard from our correspondents on the ground that the night was much more silent. and this is indeed a sigh of relief for the russian speaking population of what used to be east ukraine. what used to be the regions of don, it's and logan's, now something else that was very important that mister putin made clear, was that pretty much the minsk agreements don't exist any more. but despite what the western leaders are saying,

president vladimir putin says that the key of is entirely to blame for it. because if we look at the 1st 2 key elements of the mens agreements, they are giving special status to the don't as can lugens cretins and also making changes to the gradient constitution that would give these 2 regions more autonomy and independence from kiev in many decisions but under petro porsha, ankle, hon dimmers, and n lensky. none of these steps have been made by key of and here's what mr. prudence that exactly about this particular thing. these documents are signed by the hands of the days, republics, and we plan back then we achieved this compromise. and it wasn't an easy thing to do because initially the hands of you make sure you get this republics didn't even want to be a part of the mains agreements. they didn't want to sign them. but finally we have

breach compromise. and it was really making a step towards reaching this fell agreement, resolving the situation by peaceful means. and yesterday, during the security council meeting, it was sad with the app or it's so the current keep authorities, it was all brought down to 0. that's why the man's agreements really it will meet the they were destroyed the long before. and then yesterday's recognition of the people's republic call. don bass. i mean, not by us, not by the representatives. we can get all this republics, but by the acting of authority, as in yesterday's recognition of these republics was dictated by the fact that public li, the leadership of the ukraine, which was the way he started saying. but they had no plan of implementing the

agreements. they didn't want to, so what else was left to said mister proven? went on to talk about how important these decisions are in the context of the actual will of the log was and he went back to talk about how the referendum inquired me happened when overwhelmingly the population there voted to join russia . we remember that about 7 years ago, the peoples of dawn and getting the guns these 2 don bass republics voted to be separated from ukraine. so mister reminded the west of how important it is to listen to these people and called it the highest form of democracy. referring to these referendums, you does not want to know should happen from both sides or from,

from key if so that we consider the situation saddled in long term perspective. so that the situation calm down and we wouldn't talk about any conflicts, especially aren't conflicts. so i don't think it's a secret that you are, is nothing secret about that. the 1st thing that must be done by everyone is to recognise the will of the people who leave and set us topple and crimea. i said with them, and i have said that i met with many times. so how different is these when you has these for a friend that was then in cost with this, will you expressing this will? how different is it from what happened cost? because there was a referendum there, and i would like to reiterate one more time. no one did that at gunpoint, no one for them to go to the voting stations. they did it voluntarily, and they made that decision to join rush and we should respect their decision,

of course. so the announcements that have been made by the most senior russian officials today are very important. but like i said, what will be more important is the final decision by the crumbling to physically send the troops and the hardware over to don bass. like i said, mister putin has the green light to do that. but the decision is not yet been made . when it happens, that will definitely be breaking news, as well as some proper reaction from the likes of joe biden, who still hasn't announced his full reaction to everything that we heard from the kremlin and other senior russian officials today and the day before. meanwhile, russia is evacuating it's m, as you start from care of after numerous stretch for the safety. the federal ministry is accused of grain of failing to meet its obligations under the vienna convention to protect diplomats on its territory. rushes recognition of the domain

republics has been welcomed by people in those regions here at the reaction from locals and some of those who floods across the border to russia. we certainly does not ac paula's region 14. i think he's a nice guy. i use it on over there and he said that it with he knew he shot it with . i'm certain we haven't been abandoned and that we have a future liada and well, 1st and foremost, because now our people won't be killed anymore. and i feel sorry for our people. it is a long hold for events. i think the whole de nancy watched the tv expectation yesterday

greeted the knees with tears. and we are happy. at least there will now be order. the bombings will stop and people will be able to lead normal lives or to and all, and he's been waiting for this for a long time. is the feeling that finally, if happened to, according to the find agreements, russia will help to ensure the defense of the 2 republics that includes protecting their borders. it allows the participants to create and use military bases on each other's territory. they will also recognise official documents, including passports. russia will provide support on financial and banking systems in the to republics. the treaties will last 10 years and can be prolonged automatically. now, russia's recognition follows 8 years of conflict in the dumbass. more than 13000 people have been killed there since saudi 2014, many of them civilians. more than 23000 have been injured and more than a 1000000 displaced. but for now,

several regions in door must have been cut off from the water supply due to heavy shelling. our correspondent roman cost, if is near. don't ask with this update. we are in the village of sy, glen of car, right outside the city of damascus. this place is a home to about 2000 people and it's so if a major, major white thing of the last few days, i was told, it's the better to put on a bullet proof vest before thought working. oh, we are now waiting for the red cross who are going to deliver water. thanks for the people here because as a result of shelling, water supply was cut off to the people here and to nearby towns as well. all in all about the well more than 20000 people have no access to drinking water. the moment we are riding along with the red cross delivering water tanks to the people here, we're driving right along the front line. the ukraine positions are merely just

basically hundreds of 5 meters away. but this, despite that, the, the red cross nice to deliver water tanks to a residence they deliver to these a water tank up to 5 different locations in the village. this is for so told and secondly called water. they have also delivered a bottled water for those residents that say needed. the international committee of that i cross is very concerned about the developments we have witnessed in the dumbass over the past few days and times of conflict and violence. it is essential that all sides ensure the continuous supply of a sufficient quantity of drinking water as well as other essential basic supplies to meet the daily needs of the civilian population on both sides of the line of contact. unfortunately, the recent intensification of the fighting has again put certain keys central services at risk of coming to a full stop. the ice

r c would like to stress that we vowed urgent action to protect essential services . in areas where the hostilities take place. we might face humanitarian implications at the large scale, much longer. shuttling over the last 2 weeks has become very frequent. people were evacuated from their homes and we were left without water. the red cross is bringing us water supplies. for 8 years, we have been waiting for the republic to be recognised and now it's happened. so we won. more than 93000 refugees of fled to don bus. i fled the dorm us to russia. all she's done a quarter is in the russian city of ross of on dawn with a group of volunteers helping the europe the past several days. we've been seen thousands and thousands of evacuees coming from the don boss region like that. it's just been recognized as independent from ukraine, and some estimates even suggest that somewhere near 100000 of them may have crossed

the border into the russian federation over the past several days. right behind me, you could see volunteers that have come from the suburbs of moscow for moscow itself. and even that's from the most part, even from other regions. they've come as well to help out in the efforts to make sure that these evacuees are living well bit while, until they come back home basically, you know, and you'll also notice that before the bit behind the volunteers, you see here are trucks, they're huge transport trucks those are supplies that the ruling party and russia, the united russia party has organized to be sent here to aid the evacuees coming from don boss. these supplies that they've organized, they consist mostly of food, water, unhygienic products, products, things that basically people need for their basic needs. now this is the, the 1st major shipment we've seen that it's just arrived in, rushes rust off region where over a 100 of temporary housing facilities for

a vacuous have been set up. where it, vacuous had been living temporarily until there moved to other areas in russia. for longer term stay. so as you can see, the people behind me are really excited about coming here to help volunteering to help those in need until they can go back to their homes. in don boss, we're gonna have to see how the situation develops there and know when they'll be able to go home. ukraine's president says he's now considering several different arctic ties with russia. at the same time, got him is lensky said he didn't think they would be an all out conflict. in an earlier address, he stressed ukraine that won't give anything to anybody. of the european union has unveiled sanctions against russia over its recognition of the dumbass republics. the measures include travel bands and asset freezes for russian. lawmakers. ortiz policy, a repulse? well, we're just hearing from you opin union foreign ministers saying that they will sanction

27 russians and entities. and this will include banks, the defense sector, and limit russian access to you appear in financial markets. it will also include members of russia's duma, which is parliament's lower house and will involve things like travel benz, an s at freezes. we've also heard from the e u commission chief saying, and i quote, we need to diversify our supplies and look for reliable suppliers. now all of this comes after a press conference. earlier on tuesday was held by yes, stoughton berg, the nato secretary general. he said the most dangerous moment for you appear un security in a generation is what is being faced now. so quite a dramatic way of looking at things. he also has accused moscow of moving from covert to overt operations, saying that he has evidence that moscow is planning

a large scale military invasion of ukraine. but he didn't give any examples of what that evidence is. and he went as far as to say that since 2014 russia has been operating in the don bus region. at the same time, he has accused the russian presidents recognition of little guns and a netscape as independent entities as a serious escalation by russia and a flagrant violation of international law. and in fact, that's what we've been hearing some many in the international community. and here in europe is that this recognition violates international law violates ukraine sovereignty. and at the same time, a call on russia to step back. now this comes as we understand that more than a 100 aircraft are on high alert and these are aircraft belonging to nato. and some, a 120 allied ships are carry and away certainly seems as if nature is preparing for something visa,
