ah, ah, president putin urges ukraine soldiers to take power in the country to protect civilian lives. there's western powers, condemn what they call an all out invasion. that's the un security council meeting russia's and void. so the un says the u. s. has no right to preach to russia. russia veto the council resolution condemning it. special operation in ukraine. officials in the done yes. republic claim, a ukrainian army shelling has hit the local school killing to teachers. meanwhile rushes defense ministry accuses ukraine's army of allegedly committing a war crime by placing rocket launchers in residential areas. i appeal to ukrainian citizens, your nationalist leadership uses the same methods as terrorist. so they want to use you as human shields rushes, military operation, and ukraine,
8:01 pm
who's stated aim is to protect the people who don bass continues as russian troops move across the country with you're watching out see international. my name is peter scott and wherever you are joining us from welcome to the program. president putin has said he's ready to send a delegation to bell rouge. to negotiate with the ukranian government. as after blood volume is the lens his offer for talks. according to the kremlin ukraine has responded with a counter offer not for meeting in the polish capital warsaw. so far, no decision has been reached out to day 2 of russia's military operation. routine is also addressed. ukrainian soldiers directly urging them to take power in their country. you sure? so brochures, quail, smooth, ocean. what was on a hill? right?
8:02 pm
and once again, appeal to the military personnel of the armed 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 kiev, i would like to stress once again, but be very precise. he called the officials in charge of the ukraine, 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,
8:03 pm
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, but possibly we may find out in the near future. i'd like to go back to the proposal by van der zalinski that he made a couple of hours ago. he, he's in a situation where i believe he's desperate to start these direct talks with a lot of them are approved. and also i'd like to point out that this was
8:04 pm
a complete change in tone compared to what mr. zelinski 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 is to stay put and a 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 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 was much more nervous, but mister zalinski, according to the kremlin, as a 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
8:05 pm
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 to get been thrown out, it's an antigen and cia advisors talking ukrainian military leadership, how to place rocket artillery systems in residential areas to provoke return, fire against local residents. the used by the key of regime of residential areas to cover the firing positions of its artillery as a war crime. william, this handwriting is familiar to us. these techniques are actively used by terrorists supervised by the cia in the middle east and other countries and were spoken. i appeal to ukrainian citizen last year, your nationalist leadership uses the same methods as terrorists, or they want to use you as human shields that the russian armed forces will not strike residential areas of the ukrainian capitalism. assuming the ministry spokesman, also claim to ukraine, is committing
8:06 pm
a war crime by firing artillery from inside residential areas. but the russia military will not be drawn into provocations alleging similar side 6 have been used by ca, bites militants in the middle east. the un security council held a meeting on friday when members gave their reactions to russia's intervention ukraine. irish, a veto. the counselors resolution unslung the u. s. n. voids the united nations. let's cross live now to ortiz correspondence in the us, caleb moping. caleb, what's the main takeaway from that? you could you had security council meeting? sure, well, it was quite a dramatic meeting. essentially, the united states and their allies brought before the un security council, a resolution condemning russia and a vote was taken and the resolution did not pass because russia is a permanent member of the un security council and voted no on it thus vetoing it.
8:07 pm
however, the vote was preceded by a lot of theatrical speeches condemning russia. russia had an opportunity to defend itself from some of the extreme allegations made by you as allies. here's some of what we heard in this rather dramatic meeting, bye. russia's latest attack. on our most fundamental principles is so bold, so brazen that it threatens our international system. as we know it, president putin has launched a massive invasion of ukraine. his aim is to remove its government and subjugate its people. this is naught, self defense under article 51. it is naked aggression. it is an unprovoked unjustified war. and this council must condemn it. now at this point, following the resolution and the fact that it was essentially voted down because of
8:08 pm
russia's membership as a permanent member, the security council, we then got to hear the russian ambassador refute some of the allegations and the russian ambassador pointed out that lou ganske and don ask, have been subject to showing a food blockade and ongoing attacks since 2014, that russia has waited for 7 years for the mens agreement to be implemented that would deescalate the conflict and reintegrate the eastern regions back into the country. russia waited for 7 years before ultimately granting recognition to the republics. now, the russian ambassador was quick to point to the hypocrisy of the moralistic tone where it seems like us leaders have so much empathy. suddenly for the people in the ukraine. but they're not, you know, worried about, you know, pushing the country into a conflict. number one and number 2, they didn't have no empathy for what the people of the eastern regions have been
8:09 pm
enduring for the past 8 years. a lot of which came at the hands of the extremist as our battalion, a ultra nationalist far right wing fighting force. so. so from there we heard the russian ambassador taking the floor defending russia against these allegations. and then after that we heard the cranium representative who used his opportunity to address the 15 member body that leads the united nations. we heard him basically engage in a very theatrical speech, involved a moment of silence, followed by applause from us representatives. very, very theatrical. this is what we heard from the ukrainian representative will ask all of you to pray for so, so those who has been already killed for souls who those
8:10 pm
who may be killed. let us spend a moment in a complete silence crushing abuse. i do apologize, but if i'm moving to a moment of silence, i want to include in unless those people who perish over all these years and, and boss, they also are worthy of being mentioned any, all human lives are valuable. let's not forget them either. now that was the russian representative pointing out that while there seems to be so much empathy for those who are genuinely suffering right now. and ukraine, amid the current situation, there has not been empathy for what has taken place for the past 8 years in the eastern regions now, the russian representative, he also pointed out that in ensure noble, there has been a de escalation of the situation. the radioactivity is very low on the danger to the population. that the fear that there could be some kind of chemical explosion
8:11 pm
or a dirty bomb or something like that at this point is non existent. ger noble has been secured. he made that point and then bang the gap. while the meeting was over. now, many onlookers are wondering how productive this meeting was. russia vetoed the resolution and had no chance of passing as rush as a permanent member. the un security council. however, western leaders, the united states, britain and their allies, were able to use the euro un security council in order to engage in some the actrix and to make wild accusations against russia. but other than that was anything really accomplished in this meeting for actually resolving the problems in that country, bringing the world closer together, stopping this tension many are looking on and asking themselves if that meeting really served anything near that purpose. caleb, thank you for breaking down that drew quite dramatic un security council meeting for that's our t correspondence. caleb moore been reporting for new york. thank you. to teachers have been killed by a ukrainian artillery strike on
8:12 pm
a school outside done. yes. that's according to local officials. now warning, you may find the following for the disturbing to receive these images showing the aftermath no children were in the building at the time. fortunately, and is within one of the 2 don bus republics, which rosser recognized as independence. earlier this week on didn't done yeske itself, residential areas have been heads according to locals are ukranian shell, landed on a car park damaging several vehicles. the shockwave smashed the windows of a nearby warehouse and won't. civilian was reportedly severely injured. ortiz romani, call sort of reports from done yet. it continues here in the next people's republican women 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 a girl of co, earlier on friday, where 2 teachers were killed by a shelling at a school. thankfully,
8:13 pm
the school was close and there were no words were no children of presents. he would you mission good again, british like here, let me give you another tragedy occurred in our town to day ukrainian forces shall to 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's that? there is no answer. please keep us canada will be fired off. he grant has been killing us for 8 years now. he's left without parents. the deputy had teacher has a son, he's in 5th grade, he became an orphan. she didn't have a husband, he died. the geography teacher has a sick mother. no one knows what to do with her now. that's terrifying. when will this be over? we're waiting for a police everyone who is doing it just stopped this terrible war. innocent people are giant a deal. it's more. my shelling of that city continues for 8 years already and this
8:14 pm
friday was not any different. in addition to the 2 women who were killed by artillery fire, one person was wounded earlier on thursday. another 2 people were killed at a factory where they were working and all and all over 2 days with wall of as many as well. people had been wounded now from the city of gall, of co, which is about an hour away from where i'm standing to ride here to the city of done that square shilling. hit all nearly the center of the city about 2 kilometers away from where i'm standing. several civilian facilities were were here, and unfortunately one person lost their life. it was a woman who came under fire and in the 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 where
8:15 pm
heavy artillery jewels continue. and many of the local residents, so were forced to hide in bomb shelters, was speaking of firm murray. opal, well, according to the representative of the people's militia here, edward's bust, sir, and well, that city is currently encircled by as of battalion. 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 report. we've been hearing a lot of artillery fire here in the center on friday. of course has been it 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
8:16 pm
numbers are more than 14000 people had dialed over 90. children were killed in this conflict. 240 children have been wounded. and so many of them i became a disabled, so certainly the people here want peace. they want not nothing but these. and just some of them for the past 2 days in separation. again, they're saying that said, don, 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 out board and not into the city. earlier we heard from patrick heading said an executive editor of 21st century y a dot com. and he thinks the ukranian 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 to, you know, on many levels, ukraine has been a kind of
8:17 pm
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. leading a military, the units that russia and moscow's complained about that or not under the full control of the unified ukrainian military hierarchy. and hence this is why you probably have all of these a civilian casualties. shelling in the dom bass. and at the same time, the government key has been denying that they've been firing or broken ceasefire protocols regarding the mix accords and so forth. so that the level of deniability is always very convenient if you have sort of freelancing ah, units or within your military structure. the u. s. has sanctioned vladimir putin
8:18 pm
and the russian foreign minister said a gay lover of falling, a similar decision by britain on the european union following a television, a telephone conversation, a president biden held with a european commission president ursula underline and an alignment with the decision by our european allies, united states will join them in sanctioning president clinton and foreign minister leverage and members of the russian national security team expect to have more specific details out later this afternoon. for more on this, i'm joined to live now by ortiz egos done of in the studio figure, sort of russia's top officials have been sanctioned. what are the implications of this? well, absolutely. basically, the united states that you, the u. k. the western alliances, so to speak, they are, they keep applying pressure and mounting pressure on russia in a bid to try and will stop moscow in its tracks when it comes to its military campaign in ukraine. and of course, the biggest development here now is that, well,
8:19 pm
russia's top political officials are on the sanction list, starting with president vladimir putin. of course, this was the big development today. there you have it. vladimir putin is on the sanctions list along with the russian foreign minister, sir, you elaborate on the left and the russian defense minister should go who is on the sanctioned list as well. at least when it comes to the united states. now personal sanctions is not, of course, the only thing that has that the united states that you have announced today, russian defense ministry as a whole, plus russian intelligence, one of russian intelligence agency, the service of foreign intelligence has been put on the sanction list along with the rushes leading companies of the military industrial sector, for example, those that build military jets, those that build warships they are, they have been sanctioned as well. now going back to some of the personal sanctions, but in a broader scale. it was,
8:20 pm
it used to be that certain categories of russians like businessman politicians, officials, diplomats, they enjoy with a simplified and streamlined process of applying for an e u, v. well, no more. they enjoyed paying less of in fees they, the process was quicker, but now all they can do is apply through a standard procedure. like for example, i would also when it comes to companies, when it comes to the e. u and the us applying pressure to the industrial sector. basically they have band, the e u has banned all experts when it comes to oil facilities to the defense capabilities . and all sort of like, space stack has been a band from entering and from being exported to russia as well. so this is the long story short like again, as i said, they keep mounting this pressure. but russia so far has remained defined even before this round of sanctions,
8:21 pm
before any sanctions had been announced. the russian president, vladimir putin had said that while russia was preparing for the military campaign, not just like military wise, but also they have been kind of, you know, playing out and simulating all sorts of scenarios. so russia says that it is ready for anything that is yet to come or that has been imposed already. and well again the, we are already getting new reports of new, fresh fighting, fresh bombardments in and around the ukrainian capital. the city of the key of so russia shows no indications of stopping the onslaught. well, thank you for breaking down those sanctions. something tells me it's going to be another busy day. and they won't be too long to go back in the studio discussing it with me. thanks very much. bigger. the russian defense ministry says russian forces have entered the city of mili topple in se ukraine, according to the reports and troops were not met with resistance. earlier,
