ah, ah, street titles are reportedly taking place just kilometer is away from the heart of ukraine's capital live here as russia's military operation, entities the day the russian president ledges ukrainian radical nationalists. do you think civilians as human shields by deploying heavy weapons and densely populated areas? with ukranian radical nationalists are deploying heavy weapons, including multiple loans, rocket systems, right? in the central areas of large city, they plan to provoke a response from russia strike systems on residential areas. a un security council resolution condemning rushes, military intervention and ukraine is vetoed by russia, which is claiming western double standards of the united states sets the bar when

it comes to invasion. i will refrain from listing the aggressions that the united states has committed in its history, but it has no right to preach morality to russia. ah, well it's 9 am here in the russian capital and you're watching r t international as we continue to take you through the latest updates on the ongoing crisis in ukraine, including live reports from a correspondence on the ground. and of course, we're discussing the global repercussions of what we're witnessing or so i said, thanks for being with us. and the 3rd day of russia is a special military operation. ukraine is underway with bass was reportedly taking place in the streets of the capital key f. ah. so the, the unverified patrons reportedly so shooting on the explosions in kiev,

locals, the sharing videos of fires and smoke along the capitol central victory avenue. and the surrounding areas fighting is also taking place just kilometers away in my down square, where anti government protests held in 2014 cab officials are edging residents to hide in bomb shelters. and this on verified video from one shell. so you can see locals sleeping standing and the thing, whether it is also seeking safety in the cities metro stations. meanwhile, the ukrainian president states everything must be done to defend the campus of mammal property. we cannot lose the capital. i addressed our defenders on all fronts. the enemy will use all of its forces at disposal to break our resistance. the country house scrapped the age limit, needed to join the army and found all men between 860, from leaving the country. ukrainian authorities also issuing guns to any citizen

who, once one in the key of regional loan is reported that more than $10000.00 rifles handed out to volunteers. but we have charles schubert g format u k, in counter terrorism intelligence officer here live here in the studio. he says western promises to offer arms to ukraine could actually be against cubes, interests. i think if to west britain and america suggested that i would try macon occupied, you crying ungovernable. if they do that, i'm afraid that i may well flood the airy weapons and then they would try oh, what they would ton regardless of their intentions, as to risk that i would tense you kind into a new syria, a creating massive civilian casualties. and perhaps unsustainable a massive refugee flows as well if civil war, which it break out and be prolonged. that certainly is what the west britain and america, at least a britain especially, has been promising to do to make it ungovernable, for russia. but in doing so, of course, by flooding weapons into that, they are likely to create

a situation of civil war and endless, or very long, long term conflict. the chief, of course, are victims of which would largely be the ukrainian civilian population. we know that from what happened in syria and libya where weapons were literally flooded in without much concern as to where they ended up where they get a better handle on the situation in ukraine. now let's close life to i tease rahman conser refusing don't yet sca remedy good to see. could you give us the latest on base, the ongoing military operation place? well, russian defense ministry reports that the troops continued to neutralize ukrainian, army positions, basses, airports, air defense systems, and other equipment across the country. and we are getting reports from ukraine on the ground that in certain places ukrainian army are nowhere inside of course. so

we're getting a various footage from different cities as well, from the locals. for example, in the city all 5 minutes, all poll reportedly, russian troops had already answered and they encountered absolutely no resistance or now controlling all ukrainian army positions. now we've seen footage of for a large fire is in the city of article, for example, where reportedly an oil depot belonging to the army is on fire. and the russian tanks have also been seen in the city of us. so me, so once again, according to russian defense ministry operation to neutralize ukrainian, army continues and we continue getting reports from there as well as my mom. we've also seen reports on a tax in dumbass. do you have any more information you can bring us on that? yeah, unfortunately, shelling continues here and then as people's republic as well, and the civilian casualties also continued to mount on friday. for example,

2 people died in the city of boil of car. that was a 2 teachers who were killed when a school was shelled to, thankfully, there were no school children there as the school is currently closed. are also quite a lot of fun shelling here in de anesco over night when a kindergarten was damaged. also on friday and one more person was killed here in donnette skins. ambulance arrived and a woman died on the way to the hospital. also local emergencies ministry, so crisis center was hit by a shell on the friday as well. so definitely quite a lot of fun damage, also on the outskirts of the city of zone as civilian infrastructure was damaged to and as a result, thousands and thousands of people are currently without access to water or electricity. so situation is certainly alarming here in don't ask, as

a shilling continues, well, people here are hoping that the long awaited peace will soon come could you give us more information on what the, the role of the dumbass military is in all this well done. it's people's millis show or done. it are me to make it simple, are making advances according to the russian defense ministry. and according to them as well, they are fighting continues along the entire front line, especially in the city or the city of murray opal, which is now controlled by i've solved battalion and it's been linked to battalion has been linked to neo nazi believes. and it's been accused of war crimes by the un . apparently they have they're not letting the residence so far. you will leave evacuate from the city and reportedly are using them as

a human shield that's according to the representatives of people's militia here. now on the other hand, we are also getting reports that some of the ukrainian military, some of the soldiers are actually surrendering to the, the army. they are laying down their weapons. gordon. so with the call by vladimir boots and then the local authorities as well, who asked the ukraine and military to surrender, and they promised them amnesty and a safe passage back home. so a lot of reports like that, along with the very heavy fighting, continuing to monitor the situation here and of course will bring you the latest estimate. it's available many thanks for that. that's our team. corresponding among cars we're speaking to his life. and on the ask that now the russian defense ministry phase russian forces have entered the cities of sue me on color top in ne ukraine. according to his report, troops were not met with resistance. earlier than ministry also said troops from

the don. yes, can against republic are advancing with the support of russian forces. they've moved 25 kilometers west beyond the former contact line into territory that was until now held by kiev. numerous ukrainian soldiers have reportedly surrendered and laid down their weapons. russia force is now control the city of china. gov in north ukraine and gulf html al filled in the suburbs of kiev. well meanwhile, the russian president, vladimir putin is alleging ukrainian radical nationalists who are in charge of the army using civilians as human shields by deploying heavy weapons and densely populated areas, claiming also that is happening at the direct instructions of us advises, you know, the ukranian radical nationalists are deploying heavy weapons, including multiple loans, rocket systems, right in the central areas of large cities, including key f and harcourt. they planned to provoke a response from russia strike systems on residential areas. in fact,

they act in the same way as terrorists do they hide the truth and hope blaming the russia. it is reliably known that this is happening under the direction of foreign consultants, primarily americans. well, several unverified images have emerged at the ukranian army taking heavy weaponry into residential areas. i, russian defense ministry spokesman, say the russian military will not be drawn into publications and will not attack heavy weaponry inside cities, hills and noticed that similar tactics were used by c. i backed militants in the middle east. but despite the ongoing battles, there's still a glimmer of hope for a diplomatic solution. kiev said it was ready to talk with the kremlin about to cease fire and the status of neutrality as cross life. twenty's dawn caught and now to get more on this done was the latest on possible talks between the 2 sides. well nike, like you said, both sides are ready to sit down at the negotiating table. moscow has made its

demands very clear. it's what it wants. 3 things, the 1st one is demilitarization of ukraine. that's pretty clear. russia doesn't want ukraine to be a military threat to it anymore. busy and it certainly doesn't want it to have nuclear weapons, something that a lot of ukrainian members of parliament were talking about before the russian offensive began. the 2nd thing is d nazi vacation. this means holding accountable, these neo fascist armed groups, that russia is now saying are, are basically guilty of war crimes. they want to hold. they have an investigation ongoing already. they want to hold these people accountable. the most ferocious and russo phobic anti russia armed groups that have actually been indiscriminately bombing done boss for the past 8 years. that's number 2. number 3 is that they want ukraine to be a neutral country. they don't have to be friends with russia,

but they, russia doesn't want them to be a member of the nato military alliance. and this is something that russia has been saying for months already before far before this military operation began. but it's something that washington nato have rejected. now, these negotiations, these talks of negotiations they've been going on for a lot a little while now. and russia's already said actually that they, they would prefer to talk to the military leadership rather than zalinski. and the officials in the ukrainian government, let's take a listen to what was said. you sure of the brochures between a solution little room issue, right? i once again appeal to them in a true 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. so that's what pierson saying was the reaction coming out of k f right now. well, like i said before,

zalinski also mentioned he's ready to sit down at the negotiating table so far they've put, they put forward one simple demand. they want 3rd party security guarantees from a, from another country that if they agree to these terms, they won't be attacked. now let's take a listen to what ukraine said. nashville, no matter our goal is to stop the bloodshed, russia we'll have to talk to a sooner or later do talk about how to end the fighting and stop this invasion. so begging that now as for where these negotiations are set to take place, it's not really understood yet. russia 1st suggested that perhaps they could take place in minsk and bell roost. but ukraine rejected that. then ukraine came back with the counter offer in warsaw. poland, which russia also rejected. so it's not clear yet, but israel is actually being considered as a prime candidate for a 3rd party mediator to these negotiations because it's one of very few countries

in the world that has good relations with both ukraine and russia. so we're gonna have to see what kind of decision is made there. okay, thanks for the update that's not is don't quote that thank you. well, the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman say moscow is always ready to negotiate. maria's the however, also claimed that it was the ukrainian government's decisions that have led the country to disaster. we will always respond to request for negotiations will always hold them even with the most aggressive opponents you. it's important to understand that the person stood as the president of ukraine is inadequate for the job when you are in recent years, the decisions that ukraine has meet brought it under the guise of national interests, contradicted the interest they alert that would serve. and that's leading the country to disaster than they are the endless provocations in october and november 2021 alone. there were 5 provocations in the air space above the black sea that needed an answer. and it's being given. and we should note we're all connected. perhaps by friendship, by business,

but when the security of the people both ours and the people of ukraine is at stake . these connections will be redundant without demilitarization. so the goals are set and the operation is implemented. we have some patch kennings in executive ever south 21st century y a dot com. 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, 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 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 military units that russia moscow 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 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 of cords and so forth. so that the level of deniability is always very convenient if you have sort of freelancing of units within your military structure. you announce a raft of sanctions against russia, following deliberations between european leaders in brussels. the mon, as i live now in charlotte jeep as k, who's in paris. and charlotte say, good morning to you. what can you tell us about these sanctions? what's the latest? will these sanctions are really designed to attempt to cripple the russian economy . the e u says they are wide ranging and they will be able to do that now. being targeted

specifically are state owned companies, individuals who are incredibly rich and close to the kremlin, and also key sectors of the russian economy. we also know that all members of the russian parliament, the duma, will be targeted by asset freezes and also travel bands here in the u as will those members of the security council. now, bank deposits for just normal russian nationals in you countries will now be limited to a $100000.00 euros. and there will also be a ban on the sale of air craft a machine and any repair parts that are needed to russian airlines. now in an extremely an i mean this is an extremely rare move. the e u has also decided to freeze the assets of president putin. and his foreign minister said k, lovegrove. now as the

a european ministers say that these extreme measures are absolutely necessary, but to one of these and we're adding president putin and foreign secretary love raft to the list of sanctions. they are responsible for the deaths of innocent people in ukraine and for travelling on the international system. and then we as europeans do not accept that. it's not just the ease, it's doing that, canada, the u. k. and the u. s. of also decided to freeze their assets. however, the u. s. is going one step further than it has actually imposed a travel ban on president putin and said caleb roof following a television, a telephone conversation, a president biden held with a european commission president or shall of underline and an alignment with the decision by our european allies united states will join them in sanctioning president putin and foreign minister love rob and members of the russian national

security team. now some e u countries are actually creating their own specific sanctions. poland bulgaria and the czech republic have said that they will ban russian air crawford flying through their air space and from landing in their ports. and the czech republic has also said it will now not issue residency permits to russia, nationals, and this may not be the end of the sanctions. the e says it's already possibly mulling a 3rd round, which could include banding, russia from accessing swift, which is an international payment system. that's something that the u. k. is already on board with doing and has been trying to persuade the you to do for the last few days so far though there has been some resistance to that. now the e u blocks are chief of foreign affairs. i am chief. this is use a barrel, has said that these sanctions are not meant to target ordinary russian citizens.

and he's also congratulated those in russia who he says have stood up to their governments by protesting. i want to stay where we are not targeting russia people . many of them bulk against the senseless war. and they want to salute their courage, the cottage of their people that didn't. 5th, the age, russia, and see this had been demonstrating against the war that was certainly made. the difference between cameron and russia put in is not the russian people. so the sanctions i meant to target the lead to not only reaction russian citizens, but the reality is sanctions like this will trickle down through the economy will impact ordinary individuals and already russian nationals living in parts of european union and in the u. k. are already wondering how this will bite,

how this will impact them, and of course, how it will impact their families back in russia. indeed, charlotte depends key thanks very much for the update of the men's agreements obliged both sides of the ukrainian conflicts who withdrew weapons from the front line. also has a documentary following the lives of people living in the conflict zone for over the past 8 years. you can watch the full version at auto dot com his snippet good, like most who live in the grey zone. vidrowskow family tries to pay little attention to the wall that came straight to their house. they're getting used to their usual village life on the fire. their legible gardens have long been turned into mine fields in 7 years of civil war. the basement is where they mostly live now, and they are well aware that any time they venture outside, it could end in injury or death. ah, yes, he's robert vonner with

a, with a boy

a bit, but that was with sure. sure, sure. with the villages who ended up living on the front line don't want to leave their homes. i sure did a quote. ah, well the turning point for ukraine came back in 2014 when the government was

toppled and an uprising back then. a phone call was leaks in which u. s. diplomats. victoria newland was heard talking to the u. s. ambassador, deciding which ukraine and officials to put in which government posts. max blumenthal, the editor of the grey's own, independent new site thinks those actions put ukraine on the path to war. victoria newland is now the top state department, official presiding over russia, ukraine b and policy. so the architect of this qu, which created a backdrop for this war, the war's been going on for 8 years. that person is back in the building and americans aren't told this. so if you watch u. s. coverage of this war, you will not hear about my don. particularly in that context that is career suicide for any corresponding or any reporter to provide that context. and that is the most critical context, the context of what has happened to the people have done it. and lugens,

while with international condemnation of rushes intervention, ukraine, mounting and un security council meeting was convened. member states including the us that russia and ukraine issued statements. and there was a vote on a resolution condemning moscow's actions. russia used its veto to veto power to block it. this is not self defense. under article 51. it is naked aggression. it is an unprovoked unjustified war. and this council must condemn it. russia's latest attack on our most fundamental principles is so bold, so brazen that it threatens our international system. the new englander stop in the united states sets the bar when it comes to invasions. i will refrain from listing the aggressions that the united states has committed in its history, but it has no right to preach morality to russia. i will ask all of

you to pray for so, so those who has been already killed for souls. oh, those who may be killed ition with i do apologize. but before moving to a moment of silence, i want to include in the list those people who perished over all these years in don bass. they also are worthy of being mentioned. all human lives are valuable. let's not forget them either. hours before the vote, the text of the draft resolution was war to down in a parent attempt to gone a more support. for example, the word condemns was replaced by deplores. still, india, china, and the united arab emirates, abstained from the vote. rushes military actions that the roundly condemned by the u. s. media, but when it was washington, that was at war, that coverage was very different. his can up open us media coverage is always so

fair and balanced. i am angry at this evil act by this evil leader attacking an innocent nation, a democratic nation that we wake up this morning to a war in europe, a deadly one. he wasn't just threatening ukraine that significant enough, but he seemed to be challenging that the post cold war order food and wants to take over ukraine, faces on the screen, are filled with pain, anguish, and empathy for the people of ukraine. as russia moves in to try and stop the bombardment, the people of don ask and lugens can been facing for the past 8 years. now let's recall how these same outlets and voices responded to us missile strikes on syria in 2017 and act without any justification under international law. as us outlets cover russia's talkin ukraine, remember how the same outlets cover u. s. a tux when u. s. bombs, syria in 2017 m. s. m. b c's,

brian williams called the footage of the stroke. beautiful. he then quoted lena cohen, i am guided by the beauty of our weapons. cnn's for reeds. acore was simeon. susie austic about trumps. to tuck on syria. i think donald trump became president of the united states last night. he talked to our international norms in social rules about america's role in enforcing justice in the world. who can forget the invasion of iraq in 2003, based on lies about weapons of mass destruction. on the left is the economist of to push invaded iraq on the right is the economist of, to putin and voted ukraine, spot the difference. this is all about one evil dictator who possesses a brutal weapons with which he will threaten a and, and hurt a lot of people, including a lot of americans will us. we take them away from him. all of us, including the iraqi people, are gonna be very fortunate. did i think was the smartest thing george bush did? how about when barack obama rallied the world to destroy?

what was then the most prosperous country on the african continent with nato bomb? i'm been asking this question over and over, why would we intervene in libya and i still haven't received an answer that totally satisfies me, but the most consistent one is because it be the right thing to do because people are dying for altruistic reasons. some u, as bombings don't even get coverage if it wasn't for african tweeting it out, people would have no idea the united states was currently carrying out strikes in somalia. somali us forces engage insurgents and supports of the federal governments of somalia. why criticize what your own government is doing when you can just as easily virtue signal and pluck heart strings, feigning outrage about something that a government on the other side of the planet is doing. if only the russian military was headquartered in washington than perhaps mainstream u. s. media would be educating us about the beauty of the weapons. caleb martin, r t. new york. we spoke to journalists sound, artie contributes who we should med has. he says the west is employing double

standards. yeah, i mean the, the hypocrisy is unbelievable. i don't think we can possibly count the number of countries. the u. s. m, u k, have have together crude invaded bond since world war 2. it's quite staggering. we, i literally con, name them all. us was bombing, syria and brian williams was, you know, foaming at the mouth on live television. it's not isolated, they all do that on every network. i am old enough to remember when they were invading iraq and they were doing the same thing. you had a live stream from a tank on cnn. this is who these people are. they are spokes a person's. they are the mouthpiece for the weapons manufacturers. so it's their job to sell war, and i know this must be very frustrating for americans because when they see bombing on live television, they're used to seeing their own troops do it. so when they see russia doing it to defend itself, it's weird for them. they don't understand it and it causes a lot of it's.
