with what some politicians on the media calling for putin to face the toughest punishment for this latest military escalation in a neighboring ukraine. and we have a correspondence on the ground across the entire country bringing you the latest on the hour every hour. for the meantime, we are working to confirm this report that a small town at dawn yet has reportedly now come on to shelling from the ukrainian army. as we understand a school was hit by artillery. we're also working to confirm whether or not there were 2 teachers killed. the school was not open for session, but apparently there were some people taking shelter there. policies, roman culture ref has details. well, the schools here in the nest people's republic have been completely shut for children since their evacuation to russia was announced that children, of course, or some of the 1st evacuation, however, the distance learning format is

a still taking place. it is the school year and some of the teachers are indeed at schools of broke providing a service to those kids that sir wants to learn. now the town of girl has been on their shelling for many years already for, for the it's are 8 years of this war that has been happening and her to day on friday. another one of those isn't, isn't, is the incidence took place and the after ukrainian shelling 2 people were hurt in that a blast, a very graphic footage that were received from there. and this has been confirmed to us by the mayor of a girl of good ivana, brianca and our crew. we've been working there on the scene and spoke to some of the local residents who told us about the shilling that that continues for quite a long time. the lawyer, my wife and i were lying on the bed, she can walk,

we were watching the news. then i heard a loud crack. the kitchen window had blown out, but we were not hurt. our neighbor was injured and there is no more heating right now. of we've heard a blast, sir, here in a sensor of funds anesco had blasts throughout the city. and one of those blasts happened as one of the oil storage facilities here in the city. and the one of the pipelines from the storage facility was also damaged apparently. and now we have a witness, sir, report from one of the locals that live there. let's have a listen. thank you so much. lucy. i was at home watching the news. i had just come home after work in the shelling started an hour later and able to show that 1st one we did not pay any attention. then they came closer and closer with 1st our windows were blown out. now then i decided to look outside to try and work out where the shelling was coming from and where to hide it. i was at home with my mother. i

wanted to protect her. the 1st blasts occurred near the garages, so then i opened the door, but i was thrown back. after the shelling was over, we came outside to look around. the house has been destroyed, not completely, but still with you lou. 3rd, we haven't seen anything like this since the war started in 2014, a shell landed in the yard of the neighboring house, but it didn't go off. and i can i, since the very beginning of the war, there been no blasts here. let me know, and now right at the end of the war, this tragedy has struck, answering me right at the start of the war. and i decided to stay in donnette sick and i will not leave it. i will stay here and protect my territory that he shall cut my give now that sir, not so the only explosion that so we heard in the city of the nest to they local emergencies, ministry, you know, they have reported that their crisis sensor was also damaged by a shilling that also took place on friday, a people's sa militia here in don't ask people's been the sion legans,

can russian defense ministry confirming that as well that they're moving a deeper into the territory that it is now controlled by ukraine? russian defense ministry are saying they've moved said vans as far as the i, 9 kilometers. however, the fighting here is still very intense, especially in the south of the nest people's republic near the city of murray will . that's the most people's republic is trying to liberate. but according to reports from the people's militia, that city is now controlled and encircled by the us of battalion. so the so called the territorial defense battalion that has been known to well, many around the world already for its affiliation to i neo nazi beliefs. now, according to reports there preventing the residence of maribel from evacuating from this city, and basically using them as a human shield. now denise,

pushing the head of people, serv, i'll look at them as is said earlier on friday that there are merely days left before the entire republic is liberated by here in different reports from, from the entire ukraine. for example, here, san region that's a bordering rushes, crimea we had report from the a locals that the ukranian army is nowhere to be seen as to be seen. and there seems to have a baffled them as they find themselves in this. well, the new reality now we have recorded one of those conversations in her song from the local. let's have a listen. it because it just avoiding what i've got a deal with

that they're not, not monday. so with, of course, the situation my, the difference in ukraine and so on. the front lines here in jeanette square, they crenan army is actually fighting, but going back to ukraine. russia's federal security service have made an announcement on thursday that there are no ukrainian border guards remaining on the border with russia. and actually, 16 of them have crossed into crimea laying down their arms and surrendering to a russian law enforcement saying that they no longer wish to serve under the ukrainian flag. now ukraine's border authorities are all so issued a statement saying that some of their border guards have been relocated to reserve pose and they'll be further rotated according to the to the situation at

hand. meanwhile, a back here in dentist despite the fact that we're hearing a blast, well on a daily basis though we hear them well less and less frequently. people are still hoping for peace, and people are hoping that this 8 year conflict will and, and their loved ones will soon be safe. from any shelling and any more hardship there was a working to confirm some of those details in romance report. you just watch now, on the 2nd day of roger's our so called military operation labeled by most as an all out invasion of videos and reports coming in from all across the country. one of the in the just film that right the from his car you can see that it's believe to be a missile strike new ukraine city, a person apparently the mist all his local petrol station. you can just just about

make it out that the window is now. pictures of russian forces are coming in from southeastern ukraine as well. local say that they've actually occupied the city of milly to paul. mayer apparently confirmed that in his speech of the city has rendered. meanwhile, air raid sirens are being held across major ukrainian cities where the residents told us seek shelter as the u. s. foreign secretary says that putin wants to oust zelinski this, me the get a feeling of the panic that those people, the residence that must be feeling during all this. early in the morning, the capital key was rocked by powerful explosions. a key of claims that shot down

a russian cruise mile cruise missile, i should say, other poets also suggesting that a russian fight was shot down as well. so that deborah, though apparently from the missile came down on an apartment building starting a fire in injuring 8 people. now, there are also, i witness reports of an on going battle for the ga system, l l. field, nicky, f. as we understand around $200.00 russian troops of entered the field, but both sides are exchanging ammunition. should we say a report suggested the 5 things be now going for 2 days. we have no idea which side is doing better. the u. s. former deputy sucker general says countries and the security council can't seem to come together with this the position has to be expressed in a certain solution. so the security council, whenever this situation looks like that she's been

so long as you know, the then completely different positions in the security council of russia and china and some other dentist on one side. they go on there. so i don't expect any positions of the united nation so far, maybe in the future, maybe in the future, if they would be some kind of address. so the you, ukraine is only part of the whole big issue of the security in the europe in europe. so for 8 years they years, they graham actually sir, but that means a grievance that was adopted by the way, when the security council should i mean, just keeping across all the wires around the world today. some media reporting now

we're not reporting this, but we certainly see can confirmation. some media reporting that troops are entering kia, but even residents, they reportedly being told to make petrol bombs to neutralize the occupy address to the various mixed batch of reports. we're getting here at our national, we're working very hard to these channels and confirm every little detail that we get here. now during his last speech, as we understand the ukrainian president vladimir of water, mister landscape as an office, president putin, to sit down the negotiating table to end the bloodshed. had you sure of it? i would like to dress the president of the russian federation. once again. there are battles going on all over ukraine. let's sit down at the negotiating table to stop the killing. or the statement from keith have just moments off. the rushes for minister held talks with the leaders of a don bass republics, or recently of course recognized by moscow other discussed the ongoing military operation and the opening of embassy even that far. well,

let's get some details on these saskia taylor joining us. you had the chance to speak to love ra fo during this whole media briefing, he did seem pretty annoyed, to be honest with the associate, looks like he's running out of patience these days are what were some of the key points of our lover of speech? well, just a short while ago, a historic event wrapped up here in moscow in the building, just right behind me, the frost at that meeting between russian foreign minister such a law broth. and of course, his newly established counterparts from the danielle, a new gods. republics was held, the majority of the press conference that followed was dedicated to questions posed by western john less and perhaps on surprise me. they really press mister love roth on the special operation currently underway in ukraine. now on this, mister brofy can be said was very, very clear. nato and its allies had pushed too far. when asking, must it go to compromise on questions of national security in a way that he says no other question a country has ever been asked is look,

for example, at the cuban missile crisis to see how america reacted in a very similar situation. he argued that the primary goal of what is currently going on in ukraine is to allow you all ukrainians and all the ethnic diversity to live as equals. his view was that ukraine, after many years, has been controlled, not just from a broad as a tool of containment of russia, but also from within by what moscow is cooling far, right, fascists. foreign minister. what is the objective of this operation? in to remove the democratically elected president of ukraine president lensky from power prison? we see no chance of recognizing the government as democratic that uses genocide against the round people were. moscow has consistently express concern about discrimination against the large russian minority with an ukraine. this is not just, for example, key of imposing an economic blockade on the dawn pass republics,

but also laws. russians of our booth are misty on that language under attack on a constitutional level, meaning that some russian speakers can even be fine if they're speaking russian in such a context. leverage off the question. if island, for example, did a similar thing to english language speakers? would england just town apply, die? he claims that it's highly unlikely as for wet to go. now, given that we are hearing reports that mr. lansky is hiding in a bunker though he did, of course, asked president putin to sit down and talk well to this miss lap. ralph said the wall moscow is always open to dialogue. they can only proceed with caution. given the president to lansky has particularly in his consistent refusal to abide by the middle protocol, shown what they consider to be sabotaging effect of the dialogues. but one particular feyerick exchange came between him and a b b c reporter. and what he really did was blasted, the western hypocrisy,

especially when it comes to picking and choosing one to abide by international law . law, bro. lead spirit, your thing is miss away. it's not a special military operation, isn't it? that's a full scale russian invasion of your train. how can you justify invasion of this whole nation of your neighbors? while talking about euclid museums and we have, we have a lot to learn from anglo saxons. just look at the description of all the interventions that were made against yugoslavia and they were actually fighting for democracy that wasn't the same as him. so i understand it now. look at iraq, destruction of the rock destruction of libya there. the also promoted democracy, hundreds, thousands of casualties. so i'm not even going to compete with you in terms of your them isms. the final thing was saying is that miss lover off seemed to address all those who had by zoom,

joined the conference and he really expressed not just disappointment, but i think i've got that over the last 8 years. none of them, or either went to the dorm bass or re chose not to report and what they say is a consistent shelling of innocent civilians. so sought me a very kind of fiery press conferences with a lot of tense moments. and miss lover of stephanie, not missing any was are you. thank you. now the russian defense ministry has published his latest report on it's so cold, military operation, a invasion of ukraine. according to the report, don yet got guns, troops continuing their incursion with the support of russian forces. one group of finance soldiers has penetrated a kilometer deep into the kia battalion defenses. meanwhile, lugens forces of advanced 9 kilometers, now numerous ukrainian sub as members are reportedly laying down their weapons voluntarily surrendering to various russian units. we are confirming this russian

airborne troops are taken full control of the territory or on the channel nuclear power plant. ok, well i think we'll have to try and go back in the studio with us now for some updates on what the defense ministry is, has basically been saying as of later, can you wrap it up for us or kind of shanker, right. what was, what was he saying now? well, 1st of all, blood talk about the numbers, according to mr. cornish and go more than $118.00 elements. the grading military infrastructure have been ruined pretty much by the russians strikes. and also the armies of don, it's kendall guns, 5 fighter jets have been taken down and also 5 armed drones. and we're also hearing from the russian ministry of defense that the grading service men are surrendering in different parts of the grain. but just to remind you, the russian side will allow them to go, they will not capture or hold them as long as they sign a paper that further these people won't take part in any military action. now you

just mentioned to nobles, that is, of course, a very important location. it was the site of the worst nuclear disaster in history . now yesterday we learned that it's now under control of the russian army. today, there was actually a surprise announcement by the spokesperson for the russian army. yes, i put cool nick on the road that your noble nuclear power plant was taken under full control. an agreement was reached with the service men of the ukrainian security battalion to jointly secure the power unit. and the sarcophagus of the chernobyl nuclear power plant is sort of the radioactive background in the area of the nuclear power plant is normally one wire is what we really like to hear about though our particular announcements about the advancements of the russian form forces, sorry, outside key of because we're getting media reports where are getting videos from the social networks from the locals, where we could see the fighting. we could see the russian troops, we could see even bits of russian hardware there. but what we really want to know

is the official information from the ministry of defense. for now, we've not got that from mr. carter shank of hopefully that'll happen in the next few hours. now, when it comes to these, an amateur videos that are being filmed all over ukraine, really to understand, you know, the difference of how the grading people are taking it, how they're treating this russian special or be just they to listen to some of the things that are being said, in some videos the people are cursing and others, though they are filled with joy. have a look at this one for you as well. but assuming that i live in new orleans in the north atlanta laurie, as soon as we hear from mr connor thank of again these, the does that every 5 to 4 hours i'll let you know. and hopefully we will get an

update on the advancements like i said outside key of and in the northern parts of the country as well. cuz that's obviously very important too. i appreciate the opportunity to really for tanka, thank you. well, i meanwhile rushers investigative committee is present proceeding i should say with a it's investigation of what it calls, genocide allegations and that donates can look guns republic sir of he's donald quarter has some details on this. i'm right here in russia's roster region in the town of tucker rock, but we actually have here on russian territory. i heard that that there have been artillery strikes a number of them. i mean, just last night there were over, over 14, at least 14 artillery strikes on the territory of russia's ra stove region. and just yesterday, when the military offensive began, there were other other reports as well. in belgrade, there were a number of artillery strikes that hit there and damaged people's homes. we have

indeed seen shelling on russian territory. and this has caused the, the russian authorities, the regional authorities, that border don boss and ukraine to take measures. they've closed down the air space of rushes to southern region. all the flights are basically canceled from at least from ra stoves, 12 airports, roster regions 12 airports until march. second. that's just at minimum that can be extended depending on how the situation unfolds. the another measure they've taken is that they've closed schools that are near the border that aarp, it could potentially come under shelling as we've seen, has already happened in border areas. so they want to make sure that kids there can be safe. and like you said, the russian government has now opened a criminal investigation into these instances, but not just these instances also into the, the 8 years of artillery bombing of civilian villages, towns in done boss, 8 years of that. and the russian government is going to investigate specifically

the main perpetrators of the leaders and, and affiliates of neo fascist armed organizations. like as all battalion and right sector that have been the most ferociously anti russian in this situation. so let's take a listen to what the head of the investigative committee had to say here crystal, blue goose food shows. we've named the perpetrators of all the crimes that were committed into nest and le ganske through shelling russian murder and so on. with genocide, we have enough evidence, the killing of people on the basis of nationality. now it's important to mention that what we just heard, these acts of, of genocide, the artillery strikes of don boss and that have been going on for 8 years. this is created a crisis. i mean, there ever, ever since the don boss people's republics, it declared an evacuation just about a week ago because they had information that suggested that the ukrainians were going to going on go on an offensive. over $100000.00 evacuation have left the don

boss area to russia since then. and they've been a bit temporarily being housed a temporary, temporary housing facilities and the boarder regence of ra stove and others that i mentioned before. it's there that they were given food and water. a stipends of around $10000.00 roubles are around to $14150.00, and a warm place to stay at night. this is where they've taken their children. this is where those who are, we're not of military age or not strong enough to fight, have gone with little more than the shirts on their backs and whatever they could carry, leaving, leaving everything behind. and now they've a many of them have either gone to live with relatives in russia if they have them or if they don't, then to other areas deeper within the russian federation that are outside harm's way. we did actually it here yesterday that the done done yet. people's republican delgado people's republic have declared a suspension of this evacuation. it seems like they see that the situation there

has gotten a bit better than it was before the offensive started. but we're gonna have to see again how the situation plays out. well, among the many guests we've been featuring here one or 2 international, one of them was a political analyst, alessandra bruno now he says that russia's military and coaching as a last resort measure. i think the decision became inevitable and i think he was pushed into it, but they refused to discuss the situation from the russian perspective. so in the end, they gave him little choice and they cut off any possibility for a reasonable dialogue. the rest could have done many things to prevent it. starting with, of course, persuading president allowed to marry lensky in ukraine to abide by the men's agreements, which everyone seems to have remembered only after. the.

the recognition of the box republics as independent agreements were made in 20142015. so we've had 7 years to implement them. instead we've had a continuous military operations by militia, some apparently neo nazi militia, the ukranian army. so, and i believe 14000 people have died in that conflict since 2014 alone. so the situation does not come out of the blue. hopefully the best outcome now would be for the deterrence to songs from russia to ukraine. no more attacks into the dumbass or at least that we can hope for and then

a civilization. i don't think the rhetoric from the west, particularly again from washington that put in, wants to install a puppet regime and key of change the government, innovative key of that is not in the cards. and frankly, i don't see but hold to talk. russia are wanting to become an empire again, inexpensive, too. i think the last thing that russia needs is more territory. one of the major bones of contentions and major frontline issues as to how we got here today is that minutes agreement. many agreements are obliged to both sides of the ukrainian conflict to withdraw their weapons from the frontline. this goes back to 2014 post the my don qu. now what are the documentary follows the lives of people who been living in this conflict zone is basically called the greys and they've been there for 8 years now. this is how long it's been going on. an awful lot of bailey shelling in the region, taking out a lot of collateral damage to we want to show you that commentary where you can watch it in full that author dot com for the meantime. a quick except the may well

find disturbing my legs on the really until it is one of the gravestones most not residents. and 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 and took i do think that i should go a while to play ruth, a hello, a hello with a keeps a special note book when he records every one of his schools to repeat power lines damaged by shelling in the last 7 years, it's become a real chronicle of an underclass, a

bit deeper with a with a new entry and alexander's diary for january the 16th 2015 or that was the day his family was killed by motor, a room. i'm not sure how military officially they come

on. i use a whitish process for the summer period. bushes. really, really cuz she was christian. so yeah, it's another puzzle, a ssl for it, of course. okay. it's a with her though. it's like a realism mental cause actually more dumb. she doesn't or dishes, or is there any chance, i mean, sim washing is with chris, are you that a triple a zone or is there a way to have it so i will.
