i think a lot of the people at the pentagon are sprinkler heads tonight, lot of the people in brussels, the joint command are completely caught off guard by this. i think any sort of military intervention plans. i mean, again, binding. the said he doesn't intend to send american troops into your brain to pike russia and i think was very, very clear as to what kind of response russia will level if something like that happens. i think there's going to be a lot of rhetoric, a lot of angry rhetoric coming from the west, but i don't believe they're going to actually pull off. britain enters world war one type thing i could be wrong. get into if that, if that's the case, we're all going to die very quickly. i'm sorry to say, but i don't think that's going to happen. now the use foreign policy chief is alleged that the entire crisis of ukraine was manufactured by russia. if it all russia's fault, no, i don't think so at all. no,

i mean ukraine has been doing this for 8 years. i was on your i was on your programs back in 20132014 commenting on my don. and back in 2015, commenting on, on the midst to agreement that i hoped would would slow stop things and resolve them. but even at the time, i was pessimistic, they had 8 years to do something about it. and they kept saying, no, no, no, we don't have to do anything. the west has their back to west has their back. and then in response to, to what they claimed was accumulation of russian troops. preparing for an invasion, they started talking about getting look, nuclear weapons. so no, of course not. i mean, the ukrainian government bears the lines. sure. the responsibility here. thank you for joining us on the program today. i think, well, let's just hope that there will be cause for com and people can stay level had to do no be no need reactions to they said this tidal waves information were receiving and their last few hours or so. thank you for joining us on the program. jonathan

malick, thank you. when you kinds president luke zaleski has said that moscow law is being imposed in ukraine and that ukraine's military infrastructure is on the attack. helium made an emotional appeal to the population of both countries and said that he tried to call president putin, but no one answered him. ukraine's foreign ministry, meanwhile accuses rush of unleashing a war against you cried. according to local reports, explosions can be heard across ukraine. residents, a blog of rock, the city of ca, call, which is in the east explosions have also been reported in the area of bar sell, poland airport, which is near kias and ukrainian military command post reportedly coming on the walk in the attack as well. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has denied all claims of locket in our tanks on ukrainian cities and ministry spokesperson said that there are no threats to the civilian population in ukraine, as high position weapons are incapacitating military infrastructure,

including defense facilities. if you have been, he said, get rich with according to the article, 51 in the 7th chapter of the un charter with the sanction of the federation council . according to the friendship and mutual help treaties with dynette and luc ganske, the public's, i have decided to conduct a special military operation. the goal is to protect the people who for 8 years of the bullying and genocide from the key of regime. and for this, we aim for the demilitarization and the next, if a cation of ukraine will bring to the court, those who committed multiple sanguinary crimes against civilians, including russian citizens. we do not plan to occupy ukrainian territories. a response to russia's recognition at the dumbass republic, the sanctioned a number of individuals. these include russian, m, p, 's hu,

back to the decision and includes a number of other prominent russian figures. well, to discuss this further, joining me in the studio with our correspondent and johnny armstrong done a thanks for coming in this morning this morning. let's tell you how it is all a little bit rattled by the headlines this morning at tell us what has the west done so far and who's on the use sanction lifted the implications of all this. you be absolutely right by saying we are just a little bit wrathful that mean that would be putting it lightly. perhaps what we've seen is basically what we've seen over the past few months of the west, promising sanctions and threatening sanctions. and whatever russia might do, and then following through with them, the e. u drew up a package of sanctions against russia, the included $571.00 russian entities of them. 351. do they do my deputies who voted in favor of the independence of the 2 regions and guns and

the net sca there's been asked it freezes, travel benz prohibition of making any kind of capital in the e u. there has been also restriction put on the russian government on their ability to raise any funds in the e u. markets. now you chief, joseph beretta has said these sanctions have been drawn up and designed to hurt russia a little bit hard to hitting those promise by the u. s. and the u. k. is targeting pretty much anyone who has a material connection to the support of the independence and the vote for independence of the 2 regions. we can expect more of the same, especially after president putin's announcements of this special military operation in the dumbass to finance ministers of the you are expected to meet on friday and

saturday. we can only guess what they would be thinking up in terms of more sanctions to be moved out. so russia, what he's actually on the table, of course, would be the nor stream to gas pipeline that runs from russia on the ukraine and into germany. joe biden, who has already signed a decrease to bring in sanctions against russia, said that that is something he will put a stop to. if russia went ahead with anything you would like a military operation in ukraine. at the u. k. his said they will act decisively as we've heard, parish johnson would say, said say he would act decisively against any russian movement. said the people on those you sanctions list quite prominent. there is the game show you the defense minister, the foreign ministry, spokesman marie, as a harvey, who was called those sanctions illegitimate. and last but not least, of course, marguerite simonian de editor in chief of

r t. lawyers for marguerite 7 young has said that any sanctions should not legally have anything to do with ortiz rights broadcast. so that's what we've heard from you. the sanctions, much hard hitting in the u. s. new cable was still to see more sanctions to come from the e u, and of course, the west as well. here the, let's just focus on that. no string to pipeline. yesterday. we already knew that germany had pulled the plug. oh, that's a now more sanction being imposed on the company who built the russian gas pipeline . the united states was terminated waivers imposed more sanctions on the parent company on the top executives. and this was announced or wednesday nights. and of course now these high profile, more high profile russian figures, including ortiz, editor, and chief, of course. and it makes you wonder, you know, what's next? what, who else could they impose sanctions on president peyton himself would be like b,

alternate target. so do you think we can expect a fled more sanctions against that particular individuals and companies like today? well, the e u has some e u members have been quoted as saying they want big bang sanctions against russia . again, this is very ominous. we can only guess what they mean by that, but there are people in, within the e, you have already sanction 27 high profile russian entities. that's one. incidentally, for every member states, the e. u. after this announcement, my president, putin, as you would expect, perhaps more sanctions of course, from the west in the e u. what they would be and is still up for debate that have been some kind of toothless sanctions promise and, and carried out by the us. of course, joe biden said he would target the economies if you can scan. and annette by

imposing trade sanctions on the to region, despite him having no kind of trade relationship between the u. s. and those regions, we are expecting more sanctions. what they will be is still there. yes, we see. okay, well i'm sure you've been with us throughout the day. danny, thanks for bringing us up to speed on the latest se on the armstrong cave. well, the usa key is russia of launching an invasion when it availed its latest sanctions according to the russian. i'm basset to the us. these will affect the global energy markets where the most pain will be felt. and president joe biden did acknowledge that the new measures may backfire on the united states itself. ortiz sounds good. taylor picks up the story. oil around a 100 bucks a barrel, your weekly shop might empty your wallet. inflation might reach record highs, but don't worry. it's all was it. defending freedom will have cost for us as well. and here at home, we need to be honest about that. now,

american pay might ask 2 questions. one which freedom all through ukraine's not topping any democracy indexes to. whereas ukraine, you see back in 2014 a poll so that 84 percent of americans couldn't place that on a map. maybe they've googled it since, but maybe they haven't so that probably not keen on goading a new can power to defend it. in fact, that definitely not over 50 percent of the american thing, washington have no business in ukraine, especially if it means that they take the hit. sometimes i think we should just do our own thing in the world. not be worried about everybody else. they don't really appreciate this anyway. obviously things are not going great at home here. there's a lot of divisiveness and people don't seem to like each other very much and you're worried about the rest of the world's problems. maybe you've got a few things to straighten out at home 1st, clean your own house 1st before you go to trying to clean somebody else's. you know, i think that a lot of the focus overseas is definitely getting more attention and in the us we

do need more attention on things that are happening here are home. we have a lot of issues and they, they aren't addressing the needs of minor of business. the sanctions will topple putin. never mind that they haven't before. and the u. s. will defend, he has multiple democracy to hell with the citizens and affordable petrol confrontation war with russia is and will be very costly to the american people, beginning with increased inflation, making it harder for us to afford gas food and other necessities of life. but bite in administration and war mongers, republican and democrat, couldn't care less across the atlantic. the political lead barney justice keen, the sacrifice that people for a good p r, campaign. germans are split right down the middle on what to do with north stream too. but still that chancellor haunted the pipeline certification. spoiler alert, no cheap, natural gas for you, but at least we to moscow a lesson. if you sanction a lot of the one country, then it's going to affect

a lot of other countries. so maybe the sanctions should be ruled if there are sanctions, it should be more minimal, minimalistic and rather than major hits sanctions as a whole, just generally don't work economically it on the funds part of us in the finances or so. now i suppose sanctions don't ever work, nothing works rarely and it will hurt, it will hurt the ukraine. it will hurt all sorts of people with the sanctions. the good news is the politicians have promised relief. don't worry, it's temporary. help is on the way. is it, though russia provides, i think, 30 to 40 percent of the supply to europe. there is no single country that can replace that kind of volume. there isn't the capacity to do that from liquefied natural gas. history is a great teacher and it so that trumping on the people as part and parcel of politics. hundreds of thousands, marched against the vietnam war. millions protested the invasion of iraq. but

nothing changed. after all, it wasn't the politicians sending their sons to the front line or they who this time won't be able to pay that bill. so it's all good. but you have to admit it takes a special kind of hate to wage a campaign that hits your own people more than your enemy will. earlier, my colleague, peter scott disgust rushes, special military operation with former pentagon security analyst, michael maloof. he says that a military operation was an option of last resort. mr. newton warned about how he was concerned about the security of the federation with the encroachment of nato and the possibility of assistance to ukraine through with, with nato. busy assistance and, and that, that's probably why mr. newton decided to take action because it was the last resort. the implementation of men's to ukraine was not interested. washington

basically, is that once again, it coerced, ukrainian leadership not to go along with it. and, and, and again, it's, it, the leadership of the country is not in control of its own destiny. it's really controlled from the outside. and this was another manifestation of that. there wasn't agreement. and there's just one more agreement in a whole list of agreements that were. ready ignored or violated and mr. newton clearly felt that he was left with no other choice. do you expect that to continue or to ramp up, given this developments where it's going to be difficult to, to, to provide any more assistance if the country is under attack already? i think it's going to be difficult to move any more supplies in unless certain

corridors are. but i think mr. clinton has probably already calculated that this military strategist already figure that out and basically will cut off that logistical support very rapidly. well, as we heard from our correspondence in don boss, earlier things are really hating up civilians are fleeing across the border and into russia has so far more than 100000 and have been evacuated in a 3rd of those children. we've got a correspondent on quarter reporting next from a check point out the buddha. as you can see here at the border, we've had to put on these bullet proof vests. it doesn't mean that the situation here is extremely dangerous, but there have been several reports of artillery shells falling on to the, the territory of the russian federation. so it's simply a small precaution. ah

mm. around 100000 done boss of activities have fled to russia over the past several days. and right now i'm at one of the many check points that divides the don bus region with the russian federation where people have been crossing all day. and just about 500 meters, that way is a temporary housing encampment. it's going to be the 1st stop in a long journey for all the evacuees crossing through this area. so let's go check it out. with raw stops, regional government has set up over a 100 temporary housing facilities for vacuum ease, but they differ quite greatly depending on where they're located. as for this one,

it's quite close to the border. so people don't usually spend longer than several hours here. at any rate, people are given food and water as they arrive here. and as you can see behind me, there are tense equipped with beds. this one over here is for women and children. and the one you see right over here is actually to provide 1st aid for those who need it upon arrival, as for the rest of the 10. so you can see down there that is just generally for people who arrive every year collazo because i'm originally from 20 eskoville edge, but i found it impossible to be there. now. i survived 2014, but in 2022. i have decided to leave a little and leave it simply unbearable. we'll speak ukrainian side if he'd been so hard, everything is already broken. nothing is left. not even a change of clothes, nor a change of shoes. now we're going to get the chance to go into one of these tents that i just showed you and talked to some of the people that have just arrived at

this temporary housing facility in north. and we will surely summarily just coach smith and cooper. fayette property with shesha contribution and were had 2 or 3 witnesses because that would be much purpose. bother will take it home. yeah, no, it does. it of the book or just yet no more, less professionally to move you. do you this boy at the mom who at the new spoke with a bus boy. 3 was the forget keith, even with your little said, the more we william said those are the more so than yes, rushes emergency services along with volunteers from all over the russian federation have also arrived here to help in temporarily housing these evacuees and making sure that they can live as comfortably as possible in these locations, just as bushes issue a willing to and there are more than 60 volunteers. here volunteers help refugees get set up in their temporary accommodation. they help them with heating points and

find rooms for mothers carrying small children. refugees receive medical and legal assistance they receive help crossing the border and psychological support, which is especially important for them given they've had to leave their homes less recently. browse women that i have almost just operate 25 tons of humanitarian aid has been sent from service turkle to the rust off region, the amos to improve the quality of the conditions for refugees and assistant questions. they may have regarding paperwork. 3, well, they are in exactly the same situation we were in a few years ago. but by and since we have a broadly connection, we need to stick together help each other did. according to the russian authorities, over 15000 new don barza evacuees have entered the russian federation just to day. and thanks to these volunteers and emergency services, workers that these temporary housing facilities and continue to function and continue to help people fleeing the ferocious conflict. in done boss, donald quarter r t ra stove region will ukraine's president the landscape that that marshal law is

being imposed in ukraine, and that ukraine's military infrastructure is under attack. he earlier made an emotional appeal to the population of both countries and said that he tried to coal president putin, but no one answered him. ukraine foreign ministry. meanwhile, phase russia has unleashed a war against ukraine. meanwhile, nato representatives on to convene an emergency meeting. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has denied all claims of rocket and air attacks on ukrainian cities and ministry spokesperson said that there are no threats to the civilian population in ukraine. as high precision weapons are incapacitating military infrastructure. including ad defense facilities. while only a we spoke with independent war journalist, patrick lancaster, who's on the ground and on yet yesterday, when we were at the sight of the id, is to revise explosive device attack on the road. going from done yesterday to lift

. we were documenting the aftermath and as we were there, more shells started coming in. it was a little bit of a nervous situation. thing definite increase in the showing coming from ukrainian territory and a increase in the use of improvised explosive devices. yesterday there were 3 civilians killed on the highway where tween don, yes, can go look. and this morning there was an explosive device outside the tv station . the main tv station headquarters here exploded and knocked out almost every window in the building. luckily, there was no civilian casualties, but this shows a definite increase in the hostilities from ukraine and increase in the targeting of civilians. the fact that they are showing areas,

this is something that they've been denying to the last, almost 8 years now. they've never admitted that they were showing civilian areas. so i don't think we can expect them to admit it. but the fact is, it's happening are bringing you a recap. now of the latest vladimir putin announced a military operation in dumbass. during an address to the nation, the president said there would be no occupation of ukrainian territory. he also called the cranial troops to lay down the weapons. he say the russians goal is to bring justice to those who committed numerous crimes against civilians, including russian citizens. this comes off the people's republic, some dumbass turned to russia for military assistance. meanwhile, reports have come in that artillery can be heard in the dorm bass republics. and in you train local say that sounds that explosions in the area of boris awful, airport nikki, as can be heard, ukrainian military command,

post air force control centers, air fields and key as on call give. have all been hit by rocket attacks, reports say. and there are also reports of aerial bombardments martial law has been imposed in ukraine. the russian defense ministry denies all the claims of rocket and era talks on ukrainian cities, the ministry on that there are no threats to the civilian population in ukraine. meanwhile, 12 at 7, russia has been closed until march, the 2nd and nato is planning to hold an urgent meeting. so if you get rich quote, as to the article, 51 in the 7th chapter of the un charter with the sanction of the federation council, according to the friendship and mutual help treaties with the nets. and luc ganske, the public's i have decided to conduct a special military operation. the goal is to protect the people who for 8 years of

a bullying and genocide from the key of regime. and for this, we aim for the demilitarization. and the next, if a cation of ukraine will bring to the court, those who committed multiple sanguinary crimes against civilians, including russian citizens. we do not plan to occupy ukrainian territories. well, for those of you just joining us, you're watching arty international and you wake up today to a tidal wave of information regarding the situation and ukraine. we're going to be guiding you through all the latest updates. i do stay with his hair as we try to make sense of it all. we'll be back in just a few minutes. ah, it's been 30 years since the soviet union collapsed in miss called a little chill on to what the problem yet nuclear you talk,
