9:14 pm
lot of this video was filmed by our crew on the phone line in the didn't yet republic, where as we understand they had to suddenly flee. due to incoming shell, fire rushes, defense ministry says ukrainian forces are firing our cities in the dom bus. although ukraine says russia has carried out more than $200.00 times since the start of the day in the region. a series of powerful explosions were reported across ukraine. loud blasts wrote several cities after russia launched that military operation. it's been reported the explosions were caused by missiles strikes from russia's aerospace forces. and we've also received these images from, are you paul, where thick smoke can be seen billowing across the sky. and you can also see a damage russian, excuse me, ukrainian radar system. throughout the day, powerful explosions have been reported throughout the country. here you can see
9:15 pm
a map of the done yes. and luke guns people's republics, the 2 republics announced their independence from king shortly after the 2014 my done revolution and have its claim to been repeatedly shelled, ever since leading to numerous civilian casualties. and now both republic say they will liberate their territories. this still under key control over to now they've held only about half of that area. and president putin says russia recognizes these 2 states as defined by this map. but he may putin announced the decision in a nationally televised speech saying there's no intention to occupy ukraine such, this is so stupid, said, dear riches to the court as to the article, 51 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 luc gant's republics,
9:16 pm
i have decided to conduct a special military operation. the goal is to protect the people who for 8 years suffer bullying and genocide from the key of regime. and for this, we aim for the demilitarization and the nasa vacation 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. the hacker group anonymous has declared cyber war against the russian government ortiz . websites is one of its targets on has been affected by outages. why am joined alive now in the studio by our correspondence eager is done of eager ortiz website has been sites by this talk, a group anonymous. what more can you tell us? well, absolutely, this anonymous hacker group is arguably the most recognizable and the largest in the world that is responsible and has claimed responsibility for a loss of bo,
9:17 pm
hacks and leaks that have resonated all around the world. this time, they have openly openly said that they are waging war on all of russia and the claim responsibility for bringing down the r c dot com. our website did as i'm speaking, as of now it can be reached really, unless you will get a you luckily can get through and after you refresh the page for like dozens of time, maybe again, it doesn't day doesn't really count as you know, working properly. anyway, so they claim responsibility for that and it follows a series of attacks on other russian websites, for example, the website of the kremlin of the russian government and so on and so forth. and in fact, our t has been targeted a number of times throughout the day, according to our editor in chief. but during the day we manage to manage to like repel those d dos attacks. but now while the website is down again, just
9:18 pm
a quick reminder, adidas attack, simplifying it is basically that's when a lot of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of fools requests are sent to the websites or the, the, the service. think that a lot of people are trying to reach this, the website at the same time. the servers can't handle below the so they go down. this is how it works. and interestingly enough, this will hacker attack that has been claimed by anonymous. it happens on the heels of an unconfirmed media reports that joe biden was presented with opportunities of, you know, provide of basically waging a cyber war on russia to like hamper its military operation in ukraine. again, according to the reports, no final decisions were made. but some of the ideas apparently floated in front of the american president, are the ideas to disrupt the internet all across russia. also to shut off electric
9:19 pm
power and to tampa with railroad switches. apparently this would allow to, well stop trains in their tracks or even well derail them. again, those are just media reports and there was no indication that any decision had been made. but clearly anonymous again, a group that well, there is no proven connection of anonymous to any official government. it has to be said, but they are a force to be reckoned with. and right now russia is that top priority was talking to the updates, eager just to keep us today as we get when we get more information on the high side to thank you very much. web site back open running. you can always follow our see on telegram and our social media pages versus foreign ministry spokeswoman says that moscow has been left with no choice but to defend the civilians been shelled in the dumbass since 2014. yes, let them is that the soul should give the international community has noticed that
9:20 pm
for 8, yes, there was a war in a dumbass. they have kept saying that it was wrong to kill civilians that they had seen how many people have actually died. they had talked about human rights and how that conflict should be resolved, but they prefer not to notice any of that. they prefer not to note, is the actual people living in these regions. and the also did everything in their power to make sure that the media would present this situation from the cruise perspective. there is no reason to say that this is and fresh and on the part of russia. for 8 years we've been trying to suggest different options, and we put forward different proposals to resolve the crisis. the minsk agreement was the russian initiative. and i would like to remind everyone that if you don't want to see the of this ukrainian official started saying publicly, they should probably consider that ukraine should get nuclear weapons. and we are talking about
9:21 pm
a country toner pulled by civil crisis unit. ukraine was been pumped up with buttons from different places. the u. s. ha, britain, europe, the old supply ukraine was alms. why? but it ukraine wanted peace? why did they gap these many weapons? it was clear that these weapons to be used in an offensive here who were they fight saying they were fighting their own citizens in the saw this part of the country. and it's noted alt waiting for a match to lie to top. no, there is a sea of blood that has appeared over the last 8 years. any one really not conceded that. and the main aim is to stop the escalation of the war that has been going on for a t s. i. if the west doesn't want to see that they would probably, and not a mistake on that, they have make plenty of throughout history. not older. u. s. president joe biden has also condemned the russian operation on unveiled what he called devastating
9:22 pm
sanctions as kelly molten explains. 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 is with international banking system, and he gave kind of a mild answer and said, well, the, the european allies don't seem to agree and essentially admitted that while the states might want to kick russia out of the slip 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
9:23 pm
what we heard from joe biden laying out his interpretation of a dance. 4 weeks. we had been warning, just what happened. 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
9:24 pm
. 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 got defined very concerning. well, reaction from europe has also been pouring in since the start of the russian operation in ukraine. the british foreign secretary lives trust, outlined new sanctions aimed at the devastating russian economy. policy has
9:25 pm
monarchs, 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 war has been ongoing since 2014, so that's 8 years and the western media. and when i understand the other folder for not pointing that out, in fact, in the last 4 years. so if we looking at just simply from 2008 a loan, that they have been 381 civilians who have been killed in the don bust 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, over 80 percent, are in these 2 republics who have decayed independence. this is what ocean of
9:26 pm
funder lion 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 you meeting that is currently underway. and it says that you leaders will call for sanctions also to be imposed against belive, worse for supporting russia in this military action united. so to follow, who is g? i representative of the new full for foreign affairs made these comments ready than due to be and gone to regina michelle high school for our meeting. are due to be and gone. she'll this evening. and they will agree and provide voted to guidance to adopt the stronger package, the harsh it package. those sanctions we have ever implemented, there's not
9:27 pm
a channels blash. these is not a question of live romantic power games is a matter of life and death. earlier, the g 7 made virtually, and they say that they will and a port 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 has fundamentally changed united you an antique security situation way and that they need to moisten, going forward. so here and co ordinated economic and financial thank sanction or not all public figures support the must condemnation of russia. australian journalist, john pilcher, things, western politicians are guilty of hypocrisy. the hypocrites on parade. watch them on cnn. the b. b. c. read them wall to wall. now imagine
9:28 pm
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 now? so has condemned the russian operation, calling it's a horrifying, it's hard on ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked political unless nicolo moore, cove, its things the western alliance is in no position to accuse others of aggression. if you look at brown university's analysis of american and nato strikes since the 911 attacks in new york, what we're counting today more than 900000 dead, we're counting over 50 to 60000000 p a refugee's across the world. and these are wars and the consequences of nato led and us lead wars across the world. and gens tolten birth is going to give lessons today on, on what the heinous acts are. i think this is really something that she should do and refrain from saying, i think this is just
9:29 pm
a lot of rhetoric as we seen is coming out from nato. if he gets positive news that nato said that it will not intervene, but we must bear in mind that these past years and since 2014 and the us nato led crew in kit leading to nancy russian government. this read this extreme to point that we always bear this in mind. we've seen a counselor, as 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 sit since this passage has been intervening in ukraine and has been encouraging ukraine to attack the russian speakers of dumbasses. so i think this is something also we should bring to mind of mr. chilton berg. well, that's a rob, sir. now my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again to the top of the hour with any updates on bush's ongoing military operation. thank you for watching. ah.
9:30 pm
when you have a pleasant teacher, it creates a large school of bachelors. so in other words, in our school of single man, for whom there are no potential mates. and that's the recipe for trouble. with the rush, military begun of song, people claim without provocation, without justification throughout the session. this is a pre meditated attack for hunter day in the president vice president think he is tracy a 2nd to foreign policy. but the warm breath.
