those criminal and the criminal for negotiations and ukraine says that could be a meeting in the polish capital war. so, so far, no decision has been reached us after day 2 of russia's military operation routine is also adjust ukrainian soldiers directly urge them to take power in the country. you sure so, but i should be in a solution lunacy i once again appeal to the military personnel of the own forces of ukraine. do not allow neo nazis to use your children, wives, and the elderly. as human shields take power into your own hands, it looks like it will be easier for us to come to an agreement. i guess you cannot underestimate the significance of these latest commons by the russian president and the tone, the toughness of mister prudent. that's something we've not seen before when he was referring to the government in key of i would like to stress once again, but be very precise. he called the officials in charge of the ukraine,
7:01 pm
a gang of drug addicts, and neo nazis. and that is a very serious thing, plus like you've heard just before, he called on the ukranian serviceman to take power and become in charge of the country. and i would assume that this is something, this is pure speculation, but still this is something that could lead to possibly a different group of people representing ukraine to head, to men's or war. so or somewhere else where potential talks between the 2 sides, that could happen. so this could be what the kremlin is expecting. now i do have to remind you that there are political forces in ukraine, including the opposition and the parliament that are a pro russian that have always been supported by the population in the countries east. and now they have close ties with the russian government. indeed, whether mister putin was hinting at these people at this time, we don't know,
7:02 pm
but possibly we may find out in the near future. i'd like to go back to the proposal by vol, dimmer, zalinski that he made a couple of hours ago. he, he's in a situation where i believe he's desperate to start is the right talks with latimer prudence. also, i'd like to point out that this was a complete change in tone compared to what mr. zalinski was saying about 2 days ago when the 1st stages of the russian military operation were unraveling. back then he was saying that the cranium army needs to stay put and victory for ukraine is inevitable. now he's desperate to have these talks that you should have it. i would like to address the president of the russian federation. once again, there are a battles going on all over ukraine. let's sit down at the negotiating table to stop the killing. well, we are currently seeing a man who is much more nervous,
7:03 pm
but mister zalinski, according to the kremlin, and being hot and cold. because, according to dmitri past gov, after suggesting that the location for the talks be changed to warsaw, apparently there were no more messages or attempts to get in touch with kremlin from key of the russian defense ministry has claimed ukraine is using his population as human shields. allegedly on the direct instructions of us advisors. so the given 3rd one that it's a pentagon and cia visor chuck mccraney and military leadership, how to place rocket artillery systems in residential area to promote return fire against local residence isn't used by the key regime of residential areas. they covered the firing positions of its artillery as a war cry william introduced this handwriting is familiar. john wizard, lumpkins techniques are actively using my terrorists revised by the cia in the
7:04 pm
middle east and other countries. general spoke my appeal to ukrainian citizen, but i share your nationalist leadership uses the same methods as carols or they want to. eugene was human. she of this that the russian armed forces will not strike residential areas of the ukrainian capitalism. assuming the ministry spokesman also claimed ukraine is committing a wall crime by firing auxilary from inside residential areas, whether the russia military or will not be drawn into provocations, alleging similar site 6 have been used by cia bites militants in the middle east. the u. s. as shug sanction buddy mit pruitt's in on the russian foreign minister said a gay lover all following a similar decision by the european union following a television, a telephone conversation, a president biden held with i. european commission president are still of underline . and in alignment with the decision by our european allies, the united states will join them in sanctioning president putin and foreign minister leverage and members of the russian national security team. i expect we'll
7:05 pm
have more specific details out later this afternoon. well for me on this i am joined, alive, knowing the pseudo, but she's eager to don of iga. what can you tell us? what is the latest round of sanctions, including those imposed on russian officials? well, absolutely. well, basically the united states and the european union and some other nations, they continue to apply pressure to russia in a bid to well, try and make moscow stop. it's military operation in the ukraine. and this time it's a new batch of sanctions announced by the us and the e u. they are quite similar, although they are well, of course they have been coordinated. but still, there are some little little differences in the well new rounds of sanctions against russia, for example, use sanctioned include new visa restrictions. they are very harsh. basically, some groups, some russian groups like for example, diplomats officials, business men. they enjoyed a simplified fees application process. they didn't have to pay that much in fees.
7:06 pm
and in general, it was well just streamline the process was streamlined, well, not anymore. so now they can only apply for you for an e. you visa through standard was through a standard procedure. now of course, the biggest development here is the both the us and the use sanctioning vladimir putin and his well close retinue. like, for example, the you sanctioned vladimir putin sugar lab of the foreign minister. and so on also, for example, the russian prime minister mico, michelle st in the russian interior minister and so on. so basically whatever assets they might have in the you, they will lose access to that. and well, probably some travel restrictions as well. but of course, summary of the heart of a spokeswoman for the foreign ministry she had previously said that well neither potent nor lab rove have any assets or have any money. on e, you bank accounts,
7:07 pm
the united states. they introduce to a very similar sanctions, but they also include, for example, surgeon sure go or the russian defense minister in this list. now it isn't the sanctions on just personnel you and the u. s. that also targeting brushes? well, industries, for example, they are banning export of technologies for space, for defense and songs like defense, tech space tech that has been banned also for the oil industry. basically, they will not be exporting anything to russia if we understand the language of the document correctly. so this is the gist of it. now there are some large russian companies that have been sanctioned as well. russian banks. so in general, they are building up on the sanction effort that they have previously on this sanction ban hammer that they have been wielding over the head of russia,
7:08 pm
russia's economy over russia's, you know, politicians, business men and, you know, big, big shot figures. so in total, the e u, for example, introduce sanctions against a 60 of leading russian sanction of leading russian companies. excuse me, over the russian while military industrial complex like for example, the ones that factories that build planes, factories, the builder warships and so on. and so forth. so this is the latest, and i mean there was a batch of sanctions introduced yesterday. now there's another one. and but so far, russia has remained defined. and vladimir putin has repeatedly said that russia has worked well. russia has kind of simulated all these scenarios, preparing to this military operation in ukraine. so according to the russian president, russia is ready to any, even to the worst scenario. so, so far russia is unfazed by the sanctions, at least according to the official statements for legal. thank you very much for
7:09 pm
that update. something tells me that this won't be the last time we have you in the studio talking about sanctions imposed on russian officials. thank you. now to talk more on this, we are joined, alive now by earl rasmussen, who's executive president of the eurasia center. welcome to the program. hello, how are you, peter? i'm very well, thank you. apologies that were joining you later than planned over us because the way lives that you're un security council meeting now we've been talking about the sanctions which have just been impose. they include us, it freezes on vadim, it puts in and the version for mississippi k lover off. now it's unclear what assets they have in the u. k. the u. s. and the e. u murray is a car of the russian for mr. spokesperson, so they have not in the you what price will impact? do you think the sanctions will have on those figures? i think the impact direct impact very negative. however, this is the malec impact,
7:10 pm
which i think is very dangerous. and it further goes to severance of diplomatic relations, which, which i think is stupid and very doing for even more issues. and they should expect counter as well. or now the years so far refrained from introducing traveled bonds. do you think they are likely to be imposed in the future? well, if you really want to do the pharmacy i, you wouldn't necessarily do prebble specially on senior diplomat. i also think travel ban are poor decision. depending where you're doing. if you're doing it nationwide, you're, you're impacting people, you're impacting business, impacting farm, or not just for russia, i would say more. so on the european side, it's a very poor poor strategy to go in that direction. now
7:11 pm
it's been described as the the nuclear option, the nuclear sanction cutting russia off from the swift banking system. the sofa also been referring thus not yet been imposed. what do you reckon? the likelihood of that will be? that is a nuclear option. and i would say more nuclear on the you're inside basically they'd be unable to buy pay their debts by energy resources, gas, food, wheat, metals. it would, it would put a huge. yeah. would it impact had roughly impact, right? yeah. would it impact europe perhaps more? absolutely. and, and your businesses would be barely hit. you would not only have an energy crisis, but i think you'd spend the go a spiral downward for the european economy struggling to recover that. and it would echo, i think also back, you know,
7:12 pm
sanctions have been the go to tool in crises and they've been imposed on russia for years. but there's very little evidence that they've actually made any difference or influenced russia's international policy and a, the only the only thing in the playbook really to try to influence russia. is there nothing else? there can be done rugged the diplomatic thing, but you're right. sanction sanctions do not work. any thing is it called the country together even more? look, look at that. that's what the u. s. foreign policy is thinking by foreign policy almost around the world. we can list so many things and let's take a military option. the military option is really not enough in the 8th. and in really got, we had to, you know, we would not be in this situation if it was for nato expansion wasn't or the attempt to coo and 2014. that wasn't for you, pray, not following through with,
7:13 pm
with the ministry bringing in the situation will not happen it and they've been pushed on this. and by the wes, unfortunately, and i think partially to take away from domestic issues that, that are troubling with the ministry. well rasmussen, apologies again for that delay because of the un security council meeting both. thank you all the same for your insights into the latest developments. as oh, rasmussen, executive vice president of the re just center. thank you. thank you and secretary council over russia's special operation in ukraine, which was held in new york has now concluded numerous countries voice to the reaction to the events that had gripped the world since beginning on thursday. so we're going to cross a live now to see the correspondence in new york. caleb more pink, kayla. what's the main takeaways from this meeting? the un security council?
7:14 pm
sure. there was a meeting of the un security council to discuss the situation. ukraine. a resolution was put forward by the united states and its allies that condemned russia. the resolution was put forward, we heard the representative of the united states speak in favor of the revolution. resolution echoed by britain echoed by others. and then it was voted on and because russia is a permanent member of the un security council, russia voted against it, and the resolution was defeated. now, at that point, various members of the un security council, including the united states, you know, they use the opportunity to hurl accusations at russia. russia then made a point of responding and pointing out that the resolution did not acknowledge the fact that the peoples of lugens can don ask, have been bombarded for quite some time. 8 years they've been facing shelling. they didn't, they didn't talk about the children who died and don boss that didn't talk about
7:15 pm
the food blockade to be done. boss, have been facing, they speak of ukraine as a democracy when the rights of individual citizens are being suppressed. the russian representative pointed out that essentially we have a government and. a that has been murdering its political opponents, killing them, shutting down tv networks and taking other moves to suppress dissident voices. but yet us and western voices continue to refer to it as a democracy. and from there, we had the ukrainian representative who took to the floor and gave a very performative speech, lots of allegations against russia, lots of emotional language. now, the russian representative acting in his role in the rotating position as president of the security council. he entered the meeting by pointing out that sure, noble and the power plant there, the radiation level is considered low, and that there is not a threat to the population that some kind of dirty bomb could be unleashed or that,
7:16 pm
or that somehow rate ation could be spread as a result of the fighting that the area is now stable. the russian representative made clear. he was not going to respond any further to the over the top allegations that have been leveled against russia. and then the meeting concluded. so it appears that the united states and its allies and the government, they basically wanted to use this meeting for theatrical purposes, to hurl allegations against russia to a course. ignore all the atrocities being committed by the extremist forces. the battalion that is aligned with the government and to not acknowledge all the crimes . kiev is committed against the people have done african regards to basically just use the meeting to hurl allegations at russia. that was the case. it was probably not a very productive meeting from the viewpoint of any of the countries involved. the resolution that condemned russia had no chance of passing as a member of the security council. russia just voted it down. i. it seems like this was a night for the un security council to be the side of a lot of theatrical performance art. and that seems to be what took place. well,
7:17 pm
caleb, thank you for breaking down. what was quite a dramatic un security council meeting. that's all these new york correspondence. sorry, america course. one moment. thank you. to teachers have been killed by a ukrainian artillery strike on a school outside danielle scott's, according to local officials. now warning you may find some of the falling footage disturbing. receive these images showing the aftermath no children. fortunately were of the building of the time it's within one of the 2 dom bus. republics, which russia recognizes independence earlier this week. and in danielle sk itself, residential areas have been heads according to locals are ukranian shell landed in parking lot damage in several vehicles. the shock wave smashed the windows of a nearby warehouse, and one civilian was reportedly severely injured. off caesar among coarser reports from the dentist republic,
7:18 pm
as shelling continues here in the nest people's republican. we've been here and it's in this censor of the city on the outskirts of the city. and of course, said the news came from the city of al gore lapka earlier on friday, where 2 teachers were killed by a shelling her at a school. thankfully, the school was close and there were no words were no children are present. he would you mission good again, british like heating tricky. another tragedy occurred in our town today. ukrainian force as shelter school. as a result, our colleagues, 2 of our teachers have died for 8 years. we have been leaving in fear that our loved ones may get hurt. die how colleagues may die. why is that? there is no answer. if people still will be fired, not. he grant has been given us for 8 years now. he's left without parents. the deputy had teacher has a son, he is in 5th grade. he became an orphan. she didn't have a husband,

7:20 pm
were hit, and unfortunately one person lost their life. it was a woman who came under fire and an ambulance came to save her life by. unfortunately, she died on route to the hospital now denise kiss quiet, a large city and many of its outskirts are right there on the front line. were heavy artillery tools that continue and many of the local residents, so were forced to hide in bomb shelters, were speaking of murray, opal, well, according to the representative of the people's militia here, edwards, bizarre and well, that city is currently encircled by as of but sally and it's a so called the territorial defense force which over many years the many have linked it with me on nazi affiliations and belief. well, they're saying here that there are members of this battalion. they're not letting people evacuate from murray or pool. we've been hearing
7:21 pm
a lot of artillery fire here in the center on friday. of course it's been a, it's sounds a lot more distant, but yes, there were explosions right here in the city for the atmosphere. you can definitely see people walking around me. of course, everyone here is hoping that vis conflict will soon and according to you and numbers are more than 14000 people heads idle over 90, chill for killed. in this conflict said, 240 children had been wounded and so many of them became disabled. so certainly, the people here want peace. they want not nothing but peace and earth. some of them are all over the past 2 days since they're breaking again. they're saying that said, don't, let's get the moment is probably the safest place that's in has been in the last 8 years because the fighting is now mostly going outward and not into the city.
7:22 pm
earlier we heard from patrick heading, sir, executive editor of 21st century wire dot com. and he thinks the iranian ukrainian government has little control over some of the more extreme forces fighting in the country. you don't really have a fully functioning state. and i think a lot of people will argue that, you know, on many levels, ukraine has been a kind of a failed state in some sense after the coup in 2014. but just by nearby the, the nature of the fact that they don't have the military hierarchy don't have full control over all of their a paramilitary units. we're talking about the as all battalions. and some of the more extreme radical right leaning extreme right. leaning a military, the units that russia in moscow's complained about that or not under the full control of the unified ukrainian military hierarchy. and, and this is why you probably have all of these a civilian casualties shelling in the dom bass. and at the same time,
7:23 pm
the government key has been denying that they've been firing or broken ceasefire protocols regarding the mix accords and so forth. so that level of deniability is always very convenient if you have sort of freelancing uh units within your military structure. the russian defense minister claims russian forces have entered the city of mili topple in se ukraine, according to their reports, tubes were met with little to no resistance. earlier, the minister also said troops from the daneen skull guns, republics are advancing with the support of russian forces. they moved 25 kilometers west to be on the former concert line into 30 that was until now held by key of numerous ukrainian soldiers have reportedly surrendered. and laid down their weapons. russian forces now control the exclusion zone surrounding the former noble nuclear power plants in towns and cities across ukraine,
