thought it was, we were willing to make sure you're not holding the in rushes, defense minister orders safe exit route for you, claiming soldiers willing to surrender as a military operation on falls off the russian president. order the special operations thing. the aim with defense, the people who don't boss from aggression by the pay, the military. let me put in a stress, russia has no plans for occupation. a kid has cut diplomatic relations with russia and the west to bill and, and he put in coalition. while the us and its allies throughout the criminal operation as a ball barrack attack and vow the harsher still sanctioned me, the law from

oscar. thanks for joining us this evening and all the teams. and i show, daniel hawkins, who are you, are this our welcome to the program? now, all the tasks assigned for russian troops that i have been successfully completed. that's according to a statement by the russian defense ministry and comes off the criminal started a so called military operation, which it says is aimed at defending the dumbass from the cleaning aggression. russian armed forces of destroyed 83 ukrainian military targets. the defense ministry also added in this statement, no civilian areas. what targeted in the strikes were aimed only at military infrastructure. they also said they are providing safe exit routes for cleaning soldiers, who have surrendered. ortiz, siena, correspondents, moral garcia, reports from the grounds crew, public. i was thou, that hasn't been a any exclusions, and the gods sca oh, in the suburbs in the outskirts of the city as we had seen in previous days with, with constant shelling between the 2 sides. so shelling from the ukrainian side and

from the self proclaimed all as the now recognized republic of lugens. nevertheless, the operation, the offensive that they have launched this morning following, following a very sustained, very loud and very sustained artillery. shelly campaign this morning as the the operation they say is progressing according to plan. they say they have penetrated 3 kilometers into, into ukrainian lines more i believe on that than yet. side just south of us. nevertheless, the front line stretches for, for hundreds of kilometers and we haven't been able to, to get close to the front lines. we have been turned back because of the dangerous situation that as we were told, nevertheless, the cross you crave as a whole loose has been a chaotic day. a complete surprise for every one we saw russian. the units russian forces launch caliber cruise missiles at various military

installations. the for the ministry of defense came out and said it themselves that they lodged positions strikes against ukrainian military infrastructure against air defense sites, as well as against airfields and assets of the air force of the ukrainian air force. there was even a port that was struck multiple arms, depos fuel depos. we saw the fires characteristic foss raging throughout the day. nevertheless, the russian, the russian defense minister came out and said that any ukrainian that wants to surrender cancer and that he will be treated with respect. he ordered russian troops to treat any ukrainian a regular with respect the, the brunt of the resistance of way, hearing about a is coming from nationalist battalions neo nazi elements. for example, such as as off battalion battalion, which for years as used

a nazi symbols on its uniform and, and in its brochures and the likes, the organization, for example, us band band and russia, and many of its members are of wanted by courts. nevertheless, the, the situation in ukraine is developing very rapidly, very quickly. the russian of the russian ministry of defense or it is also said that they have destroyed about a dozen f fields or struck a dozen or so. and fields are more than 70 various military infrastructure sites around ukraine, which presumably includes those. i am a amunition depots that, that i talked about. and the other side such as 0 we've, we've seen footage unconfirmed as of yet. and for example, ukrainian military vehicles destroyed a convoys entire convoys of tanks, bassett, and burning across ukraine. it remains very difficult to, to verify various footage and information coming out. there's a lot of

a lot of fake information recycled footage from previous wars that is a being leveled here and pushed on social media. nevertheless, the picture will become clear in days to come the the, the hot spot now is keith, obviously, where russian paratroopers or russian special forces have been cited at a number of apples, including one just 25 kilometers away from 25 kilometers away from keith authorities in key of have said that the russians or the vladimir putin isn't going to go off to civilian infrastructure or civilian targets. he wants public support, and that would destroy his public support. they also said that they want the going to try to denies a beast russian troops out of the airport. i keep of, i believe airport near keith, which is where they are now stationed and they have been reports that more russian

units, a board cargo planes. i could perhaps be headed there again while the russian president is also calling for ukrainian soldiers to be treated with respect to art, he obtained this exclusive video from a russian war reporter in the dumbass. he claims it shows ukrainian troops surrendering to don't ask republic forces or the reporter says there are soldiers who have voluntarily lay down their weapons. authorities and financed calf shed pictures of one of the soldiers whose apparently wounded and being provided fast, ain't no rush of thanks. have apparently been spotted in ukraine sumi region near the russian border. one resident sent us this verified video of military vehicles that shall voice and cust together. oh no, no, no, he ocd

english, but it was tuned. i'm still good bundle i machine. good. ah, ah, we heard from people living in ukraine, scarce on region near crimea, one of them express surprise the ukrainian army was they were to be seen a still with

a well the latest updates. the ukrainian government is saying russian forces have seized control of the should. i will nuclear power plants. the facility will shut down off to the infamous dis, austrian 1986. and has been in exclusions or surrounding it to have a sense. you're going to the official and say russia took the zone off to a fierce battle low. so far we've heard no confirmation that from moscow. russia says ukrainian full whose have fun shelves across the border into russia's bill growth region. investigative committee released this footage with official saying that 2 adults and a child were injured in the assault. one residential building was destroyed with multiple others damaged with a criminal case launched

a stock. i thought well, this video was filmed while crew on the front line in an escrow public where i was going to stand. they had to suddenly flee due to incoming shells, rushes defense ministry says ukraine force is a following. it said he's in the don't bus though. ukraine says russia is carried out more than $200.00 attacks since the start of the day in the region. now a series of powerful explosions were reported across ukraine. this morning, loud blast rocked several cities. off the rush, launched the military operation. its being reported, the explosions were caught by oh, caused by missile strikes from brushing forces. we've just received these images from marie pole. you can see fixed smoke is blowing across the sky. you can see a diamond ukranian radar system throughout the day. powerful explosions have been reported throughout the ukraine. when here you can see a map of that and i can look out to people's republics. the 2 reasons out there

independent from kiev, shortly after the 2014 my dad revolution and have it claimed been repeatedly shelled, ever since that's led to numerous civilian casualties. now both republic say they will liberate that territory still on the key of control. up to now they've held only about half of that area. president putin says russia recognizes these 2 states as defined, why this map of other improves in announced. so the decision in a nationally televised speech earlier saying there's no intention to occupy you crack says that you've been with a quarter to the article, 51 in the 7 chapter of the un charter with the sanction of the federation council, according to the friendship and mutual help treaties with the netscape and lu ganske. the public's i have decided to conduct a special military operation. the goal is to protect the people who for is

a bullying and genocide from the key of regime for this aim for the the militarization for the next. if a cation of ukraine will bring to the court, those who committed multiple sanguinary crimes against civilians and including russian citizens, we do not plan to occupy ukrainian territories. and now we spoke earlier to the russian foreign ministry spokesman, one who said moscow was apparently left with no choice, but the defense civilians being shelled in a dawn bus since 2014 shallow. it is a danger national community. and you said notice so options guar i for 8 years. so there was a lore reads in the gong bass. is that when they have to say that it was wrong to kill civilians are there. they had seen how many people actually died when you had talked about human rights about how the conflict she the result. but

they preferred not to notice any of that. they prefer not to notice you actual people living in these regions. i need, they also did everything in their power to make sure that the media would present, but he's the situations and i will on the keeps perspective in there is no reason to say that this is aggression on the part of russia that was before 8 years we've been trying to, you know, just different options and we put forward different proposals to resolve the crisis in these agreements where russian initiative and i like to remind everyone i to be sure that if you don't want to see the obvious ukrainian officials started saying publicly but i see they should probably consider that ukraine should get as nuclear weapons and we're talking about entre,

torn apart with way. so crisis ukraine was being hung up with weapons from different places. yes, britain, europe, they all supplied you crazy with arms. why can you complain? wanted peace. why did they get this money? weapons fool? it was clear, these were all weapons you to use boy in an offensive, or that who are they fighting? what you needed? they were fighting their own citizens in the south east part of the country and not about waiting for a match to light it up. no, not the blood appeared over the last 8 years. would anyone really not consider that yet? and the main aim is to stop the escalation of the war that has been going on or 8 years to stop this war. west doesn't want to see that would be another day.

they have made plenty seals throughout the theory. no, i think is ukraine has several different relations with russia or water cause a full scale invasion. your greatest president, let him use it and sky claims his country did not choose the path of war, but offered ways to restore peace. and he made some further accusations against the russian forces in its wheat the russian occupation forces are trying to see that your noble nuclear power plant, or defenders are giving their lives so that the tragedy of 1986 will not be repeated reported this to the swedish prime minister, this is a declaration of war against the whole of europe. a president's landscape vowing to fight russia though not only in politicians share that view. 7 members of parliament of call for different arctic solution and direct negotiations with moscow. president zelinski,

we urge you to immediately start talks with russia as president putin on ways to end the bloody confrontation and negotiate a treaty. or there are scenes of panic and your crimes capital care right now along traffic jams are falling as people had out of the city mainly to the west of the country. however, the local officials are urging residents to stay at home and not block the roads. some in care of taking shelter on the ground in the metro system authorities, i've been telling people to use the stations as bomb shelters. as metro trains have temporarily stopped running. now we heard from some locals witnessing the chaos in the ukraine in capital. i hear it, it's somewhere in t f. sirens can be heard. they are bombing without really, you know, when we landed in the airport, we heard some bangs. it was unclear what they were. we didn't see any damage. we heard the banks while in a taxi. nobody knew what it was. so people started leaving here packing their

cars into a huge traffic jam. everything was crowded, but most people stayed home. my friends and i hope things will be ok. we hope that kia will not be bombs over. there are huge keys perpetual stations on the roads, several hours long. it's impossible to refill even. it's good that i had a full tank, but i still have to refill somewhere. we've been leaving here for 4 hours already. it was her bordinez also condemned the russian operation on a veil. what he called a devastating set of sanctions. tell him open as more well, when we heard from joe biden, the u. s. president. he laid out new sanctions on russia. these spoke specifically of some banks that will be targeted. he specifically talked of products being outlawed to export to russia. u. s. companies will not be able to export certain products to russia later in the press conference. he was pressed about this swift international banking system. and he gave kind of a mild answer and said, well,

the european allies don't seem to agree and essentially admitted that while the states might want to kick russia out of this web system, it seems united states is not going to be able to do that at this time now the narrative that joe biden laid out throughout his remarks was the same narrative we've been hearing from us officials all along. apparently, this whole crisis, according to joe biden, has just happened simply because of russia. there is no other factor. it is simply russia's malign activities that has caused the whole thing. this is what we heard from joe biden laying out his interpretation of the dance 4 weeks. we've been warning that this would happen, and now it's unfolding largely as we predicted. now, it's important to note that russia has repeatedly raised the issue of its security guarantees. in addition to that, russia has made clear it has no intent to invade ukraine. however, at this point,

they are engaging in an operation to protect the people of don, ask, and luc guns, and make sure they do not continue to face the shelling and bombardment they have been enduring for the past 8 years. it's important to note that unlike what joe biden said, these republics were not declared by the russian president vladimir putin. they were declared by the peoples of these regions in response to the u. s. coup in 2014, and it has been 8 years since then that russia has waited to declare the republics . now what was also interesting is when pressed by report, joe biden revealed some rather interesting lack of knowledge when it comes to events. one of the reporters actually asked him, it is prudent, threatening a nuclear strike, to which widen replied, i don't know what he is threatening, so we have the president of the united states saying, he doesn't know if nuclear war is on the table. now of course, russia has not threatened

a nuclear strike nuclear war is simply not on the table. russia is engaging in an operation to protect don ask and lou gone from attack. the idea that this is some kind of nuclear confrontation is pretty outrageous. the fact that biting responded to such a question was, i don't know is something that a lot of americans have got to find very concerning. a european reaction has been pouring in since the thought of the russian operation of ukraine porter slayer, breaks it down. the president of the european war, back to europe. now this is factually incorrect. you need to a member of course, that the war has been ongoing since 2014, so that's 8. yes. and the western media, and we're excited to say i see on the phone for no point from that out. in fact, in the last 4 years. so if we're looking at just simply from 2018 and a load that they have been 381 civilians who have been killed in the don best region and that is according to united nations figures. this is 5 times more

measures the, the number of people who have been killed in territories that are controlled by kids. and the vast majority of these people who've been killed, in fact, of 80 percent are in these hoops. you would have makers who have decayed independence. this is what ocean the fun, the lion had to say. my children are dying of fear for their lives. we condemned this barbaric attack. and the cynical arguments to justify it. it is, president putin was bringing war back to europe. now we have received a leaked text regarding this meeting that is currently underway. and it says that e leaders will call for sanctions also to be imposed against bella worse for supporting russia in this military action. and i decided to follow who is g? i representative of the new full for foreign affairs made these comments rather

than do b and conceal regina michelle high school for our meeting. are due to be and gone, show this evening. and they will agree and provide food together guidance to adopt the stronger package. they ha, shirt, baggage. those sanctions we haven't ever implemented is not the question of blocks . these are not the question, know the from the power games. it's a matter of life and death. earlier the g 7 mate virtually, and they say that they will and poured by unprovoked and unjustified attacks by russia. they said that this military action was preceded by fabricated plains and unfounded allegations. the g 7 saying that this is fundamentally changed. united you add an antique security situation way and the thing to when full way. so here and co ordinated economic and financial and thank sanctions on all public figures.

support a mass kind of notion of russia. australian journalist john pills are a think so worse than politicians have at least some share in the blame the hypocrites on parade. watch them on cnn. the bbc read them wall to wall. now imagine a strategic enclave of britons or french, or germans or americans under violent siege. sheldon, terrorized for 8 years. would this be tolerated by the rulers of the world? and nato has condemned the russian operation, calling at a horrifying attack on ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked political analysts, unequal america, which thinks the worse than alliance is in no position to accuse others of aggression. if you look at brown university's analysis of american and natal strikes as since 911 attacks in new york, we're counting today more than 900000 dead. we're counting over 50 to 60000000 p

refugee across the world. and these are wars and the consequences of nato led and us lead wars across the world. and jen stoughton bird is going to give lessons today on, on what the acts are. i think this is really something that you should refrain from saying, i think this is just a lot of rhetoric as reaching are coming out from nato. if he gets positive news that nato said that he will not intervene. but we must bear in mind that these past years and since 2014 and the us nato led in leading to a nancy russian government. let's read the switch from the point there were always read this in mind. we've seen counselors, we've seen weapons, we've seen a funding coming out of nato countries into ukraine to finance an army which is fighting against russian speaking people of ukraine. so it's good that nato does not intervene directly in this pacific war. but nato is also this passive has been intervening in ukraine and has been encouraging ukraine to attack the russian speakers of dumbasses. so i think this is something we should bring to mind to just

oldenburg elements. agreements of lice, both sides of the equation, conflict withdrawal weapon from the front line. and all he commentary follows the lives of people living in the conflict zone over the past 8 years. you can see the full version dot com, a warning. those of you, as you might find some of the following scenes distress. hi, alexandra leon. tv is one of the grandsons, most nob hill resident. he's the only electrician still here after the civil war broke out in the settlement of alexandra for him. the frontline stopped just outside the gates of his own house. i think that a while for yourself or to play ruth, a yellow boy melissa. prefer hello with a with

a boy he did alex on to keeps a special note book when he records every one of his cools to repair power lines damaged by shelling in the last 7 years. it's become a real chronicle of an undeclared war. didn't like the auto to really only focus, scream it with a push in with shocked. b. a . with

a new entry and alexander's diary for january the 16th 2015 or that was the day his family was killed by multiplying a room. i'm not sure how military officially they come on. i use a whitish process. so somewhere, petrie, bush is really, really cuz she just was crucial. so yeah. it's a score of course. okay. it's a mental cuz i don't she doesn't or dishes. are chosen with him washing is with chris, are you that are for, for a zone, or is there a way to have it?

well, those are the headlines for this hour here. and i'll change the national way back in 30 minutes with all the latest headlines, including all not crisis in do crime. we're back at midnight moskowitz, i'm join us again that ah, hello german by drink, shaped as in a. there's things we dare to ask.

oh is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed? what will make you feel safe? ah, isolation, whole community? are you going the right way? where are you being led? somewhere? direct. what is true, was his faith in the world corrupted. you need to descend to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah

by the way, i am if jenny. yep, of course, the more gunner with the assault section of the 2nd platoon 3rd special forces unit blue, we're always only allowed for an armed conflict. because if we get intelligence about militants in the neighborhood,

it's usually reliable with the squadron has played a part in conflict before with, but this was the 1st attack. if it's kind on to rain like this, we would expect from them. we were ready for them at any moment, but it was a very difficult area and they were able to open fire 1st. was not one you have to do with one of the for a special forces soldiers, the thinking is paramount. that hell he makes the right decisions during that 5 minutes stride to outflanked the 3 soldiers led by apple and started throwing hand grenades at them. sergeant, he again yep. of covered one of those grenades with his own body. of course i was frightened but i tried to compose myself. i was thinking somehow i .
