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 the near side just south of us. nevertheless, the front line stretches for, for hundreds of kilometers and we haven't been able 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. this 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 precision strikes against ukrainian military infrastructure against air defense

sites, as well as against air fields 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, imo 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 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 airports, 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 and he wants public support. and that would destroy his public support. they also said that they want the going to try to denies that beats russian troops out of the airport. i keep of, i believe airport near keith, which is where they are now stationed. and there have been reports that more russian units, a board, cargo planes could perhaps be headed there. again. a pigeon is also calling for ukrainian soldiers to be treated with respect art. he obtained this exclusive

video from a russian wall, a porter in a dumbass. he claimed it shows ukrainian troops surrendering to the next republic forces. now the reporter says, there are soldiers who have voluntarily laid down no weapons authority and don't asks, have shared pictures of one of those soldiers whose apparently wounded and receiving 1st aid. mm. mm. now we have a series of un verified videos from ukraine showing some of the impacts of the so called special military operation. we saw just our mushroom cloud, our for powerful explosion and an air fuel in southeastern ukraine. in this next lip, you're seeing debris flies as a missile hit the military warehouse in a strategic port city of odessa. lastly, there is the sound of a cruise missile darting through the air over venus, or in the west of the crank. according to the russian defense ministry,

the criminal is only targeting military infrastructure. now, a meanwhile rush imagery expert, alex honest advantage, broke down what sort of improvement was referring to on thursday when he announced that so called special military operation. the special with the military operations, teresa complies the russian and the international law. according to where the boss 7, all the article 51 view in chapter name state member can use these type of activity to protect the national and international security of putting it was russian general was carried out to, to minimize casualties among the local population. russian armed forces use the entire set of hi tech tools that have selection so they can action. first

of all, they are directed against military infrastructure. they're not directed against the local population. the main goal is to save these local civilians. they all just use all their opperation or all black. it's dennis vacation and the militarization until the threat is totally remote. the operation will be carried out. according to the actual dynamics of the actual crease of the current operation will come to an end. in the coming days, russian tanks have apparently been spot ukraine sumi region near the russian border residents and assist and verify video of military vehicles. hello,

milton. oh, oh oh, oh, good osha, what up with soon dumps looked on good. pollution. good. ah . we heard from people living in ukraine scare us on region near crimea. one of them express, surprised, ukrainian. army was nowhere to be seen. as you like, because you're not, you're boiling water a deal with

all the while. it brought a lot. you're done really good some with well, another update. so the ukrainian government is saying russian forces have seized control of the noble nuclear power plants. the facility was shut down after the infamous disaster in 1986, and there's been an exclusion zone surrounding it ever since, including an official say, russia took the zone off a fierce battle low so far. we've heard no confirmation of that from moscow. russia says ukrainian forces of 5 shells across the border into russia's belgrade region. the investigative committee released this footage. officials say to outs on

a child were injured in their soul. one residential building was destroyed and each other's damaged criminal case has been launched. and also for international authorities, at least $400.00 shells of it, rushes rough, the region from ukrainian territory lis video was filmed by our crew on the front line and donut, screw public. where as we understand they had to suddenly flee due to incoming shells. rogers defense ministries as ukrainian for to the following. it said he's in and on bus ukraine though, says russia is carried out more than $200.00 attacks from the south of the day in the region. well, let's confirm that a series of powerful explosions were reported across ukraine. this morning. loud blas rocked several cities off the rush, launched a circle. special operation is being reported. the explosions were caused by miss

all strikes from russian forces. we've just received these images from murray poll . fix, smoke can be seen by living across the sky. you can see a diamond ukranian radar system throughout the day. powerful explosions have been reported throughout the country. where here you can see a map of the genetic lugens, the people's republic. the 2 regions announced their independence from kiev shortly after the 2040 mile and revolution. and have his claimed been repeatedly shelled, ever since that's led to numerous civilian casualties. now both republic say they will liberate their territories still on the key of control. so now they've held about half of the area or president booting, says russia recognizes these 2 states as defined by this map about him approved and announced that decision in a nationally televised speech. yes, that a thing. there is no intention to occupy the country. so if you'd be rich with, according to the article, $51.00 in the 7th chapter of the un charter with the sanction of the federation

council. and according to the friendship and mutual help treaties with the nets and lou ganske republics, 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 nurse, 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 or russia for our ministry spoke. someone says moscow's apparently been left with no choice but to defend the civilians being sheldon dunbar since 2014 shallow if the international community had notice. so before i for 8 years. so there was a more reads in the gong bass is that when they had kept to say that it was wrong

to kill civilians are there. they had seen how many people actually died that talked about human rights about how the conflict and she the results. but they preferred not to notice any of that. they prefer not to notice you actual people living in these regions. i mean, they also did everything in their power to make sure that the media would present, but the situations are bundled 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 were 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 go to see they should probably consider that ukraine should get us or nuclear weapons. and we're talking about the country torn apart with a serial crisis. ukraine was being pumped up with weapons from different places, the us, britain, euro, they all supplied you crazy with arms. why didn't you complain? wanted peace. why did they get this money? weapons fool? it was clear, these were weapons 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 it's not about waste thing for a match to light it up. no, there's no fee of blood appeared over the last 8

years. would anyone really not consider that? yes, and the main aim is to stop the escalation of the war that has been going on are able to stop this war. if the west doesn't want to see that would be another day. they have made plenty of throughout the theory. no, i think is a promotional, you know, ukraine's health minister has said 57 people have died and 169 have been injured since the special operation began. the country's severed diplomatic relations with russia over what it called a full scale invasion. moreover, president vladimir lensky has signed an order for general mobilization calling on civilians to join their response to russia's intervention. it comes off that he said kia did not choose the path of war, but offered ways to restore peace. earlier ukraine officials said russian force his seas to noble lensky said in a tweet,

it was tantamount to the kremlin declaring war on the whole of europe. now, the claims should i will, was stormed by russia, come after ukraine's president. lot of musicians came out on saturday, a need for the country to have nuclear power. then we have food in this branded, this statement as ukraine's intention to create its own nuclear weapon. presidents and entities vowing to fight russia, though not only korean politicians share that view. 7 members of parliament, of called for a diplomatic solution and the 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. now these are the scenes in the capital ukraine where panic has been taking place. long traffic jams have formed as people head out of the city mainly to the west of the country. however, local officials arising residents to stay at home and not block up the roads,

will summon key of all taking shelter on the ground in the metro system. authorities have been telling people to use the stations as bomb shelters. metro trains have temporarily stopped running. now we had from local is witnessing the chaos in the capital, which i hear it is somewhere in t. f. sirens can be heard. they are bombing about really, you know, when we landed in the airports, we heard some things. it was unclear what they were. we didn't see any damage. we heard the bank while in a taxi. nobody knew what it was. people started leaving kia, 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. that'll still there are huge keys perpetual stations on the roads. several hours long. it's impossible to refill. it's good that i had a full tank,

but i still have to refuel some latch. we've been leaving for 4 hours already. while you're bordinez also condemned the russian operation on unveiled what he called devastating sanctions. kellum open has 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 specifically talk to 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 is with 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 and 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 me. we can cross live now to

survive. foss, former us presidential candidate for i. thanks for joining us. kids happy in the program today. now just going to what president biden said, he said he's got no plans to talk with president person. do you think that's the correct decision or do you think that's actually talking now? could be a good idea? no, i think that they should have some sort of diplomacy or at least charged the speaker nichols, i'm very disappointed and bite and then the way how i see it as it stands in the united states stands has a lot to do with his own interest with the ukraine, i mean, we know there was a huge investigation that was ongoing. so it kind of where he needs to see if he's going to make this personal and it's going to affect the lives of all these people . and the president also said the us, and it's not always taking steps to limit russia ability to do business in foreign currency. how serious of us that do you think that is what impact will have on

russia? i think anything, actions, or anything that they're going to have is not really going to affect russia is going to be affecting us directly. the united states and europe, especially when it comes to the oil prices. we're going to be feeling get all these sanctions. all they do is they hurt the civilians. this is nothing to do with russia. i mean it's more of this personal way that the media is trying to perceive them as always. evil people, the villains in all the cases when that's not true. what who is doing? had every right to do at the day he was defending those 2 nations that he just made in the, from ongoing gears of war that the ukraine has been switched on. those people and put in already said that this is not a war. the media, especially the united states media in make sure the key to their words very carefully. because what they're doing is they're trying to push a narrative to try to push for award. and that's not something that we want,

nobody wants or we all want peach and pool. has said that many. and i really wish that the united states president biden would also be using that same, having that same goal as well, to try to be a peacemaker. more than anything, you know, there's certainly are 2 very different notions about russians actually said the criminal overseas saying it is a pc. peacekeeping operation. western leader saying it is an act of aggression and speaking of narratives, this channel is under some scrutiny, poland the just sent out the binding r t is one of the number of other russian channels. do you expect many other countries through the same and does this set a precedent for binding media? but you want me to tell you something, the reason why they're banding it is because they fear of what it is that you guys are saying. because you are one of the only channels that are actually talking about the truth portraying the truth without censorship to what's going on. i mean, i appreciate you and appreciate you for giving me the ability to be on here because

the national mainstream media of the united states, i've always, that is the 4th branch of government because it move public opinion is run by liberal narrative. they're all objective right. now is to move towards some sort of distraction and war to cover up all these things that are really happening. the fuel issues, the united states, the best thing that they. ringback can do, in this case, it per day, out of that, we really need to go back and put america 1st. if that's everybody's intention. half of these wars that have been going on around the world would have been avoided . if the united states would have their own business and stayed out of it, there's no reason for our people. our, our, our soldiers are taxpaying dollars to be funding these non defense wars that are going to be. and i think everybody woke up in a state of shock this morning and saw what was going on because nobody wants to see

war or conflict from either side here, given the situation or the gravity of the situation on the ground. what do you think is the best outcome in ukraine? is there any chance for the science to sit down and come to a compromise on a cease fire for this? to stop? to be honest with you. i mean, i haven't heard the latest last. i checked, the president of the ukraine was hiding in germany. i don't know if he's back or not, but they really need a leader, somebody who's going to be there to be able to dialogue, to be a peace maker. not somebody who's looking for his own interest with the government officials of the united states, which is not only illegal, but if there's going to be any kind of peace. ok, nato itself needs to disintegrate altogether. we cannot have, i like to have enemies. we cannot have people that are to the site at the end of the day, our goal is peace and unity world peace. and that's what i'm going to be great. all right, that we have time for, for now. so far for us presidential candidates,

thanks for your time. it's around the program. i appreciate it. thank you. now, the europe reaction has been poor in since the start of that russian so called special operation and ukraine. the british foreign secretary, for instance, are also outlined new sanctions aim that devastating rushes economy. flawlessly has more. the president of the european commission, a shallow funder lion has said that putin chose to bring wool back to europe. now this is factually incorrect. you need to a member of course, that the wall has been ongoing since 2014. so that's 8 years. and the western media and waiting 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 in the number of people who have been killed in territories that are controlled by here. and the vast majority of these people who've been killed, in fact, of 80 percent in these hoops, you would have makers who have the kid independence. this is what ocean the fun to lie and had to say my children are dying of fear for their lives. we condemn 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 you leaders will call for sanctions or so 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 way you full for foreign a. phase 3 made these comments ready?

than due to be and gone to regina michelle high school for a meeting all due to be and gone, show this evening. and they will agree and provide food together guidance to adopt the stronger package. they ha, shoot, baggage, those sanctions we have ever implemented, not the in of blood, not a question of diplomatic power games is a matter of life and death earlier, the g 7 mate virtually. and they say that they will poured by unprovoked and unjustified attacks by russia. they said that this military action was preceded by fabricated claims, an unfounded allegations, the g 7 saying that this has fundamentally changed united atlantic security situation and that they will bring forward with severe and coordinated economics and finance, finance bank sanctions. well,

those are the headlines for the sour here on auto international back in 30 minutes . little the latest headlines, including, of course, all talk story on what exactly is going on in ukraine. join us again, then on our things in ashburn. mm. ah. or across the entire russian capital. this is audrey international with.
