ah, ah ah, top headlines right now here were an arty international according to the kremlin official say ukraine is refusing to negotiate and the military incursion will continue. he has apparently, it is not satisfied that the conditions that russia is offering for peace. folks will have more details on that in just a moment. meantime, a source in moscow is defense ministry says ukraine, not russia. it a residential towel block in cuba. welcome to confirm, apparently a case already. he said, she said we are working to confirm those details. and the russian president, according to him, he ledgers the ukranian radical nationalists to using civilians as human shields by

deploying heavy weapons and densely populated areas. again, that is according to the russian president with ukrainian radical nationalists to deploy heavy weapons including multiple loans, rocket systems, right? in the central areas of the large cities, they plan to provoke a response from russian strike systems on residential areas from southern europe, all the way to the north where a russian cargo ship was reported to being intercepted by fronds in the english channel. as we understand as something to do with sanctions being imposed by the e. u of a russians devastating military action in ukraine with well, a good evening to you from all of us here at r t international in moscow on days of special rolling coverage. continue. we are working very here, very hard here at auto international. bring you all sides of today's top story. all eyes were made on ukraine and of course our thoughts with all of those caught up in

this devastating conflict. now we can without breaking news for you here on archie into national. according to the ukranian president's office, key of is not satisfied with conditions for negotiations, for a peaceful surrender with russia. that's after the kremlin spokesperson said ukraine refused to hold talks. russia will continue, though, with its military incursion. yesterday, when we were expecting negotiations with the ukrainian leadership, the russian president ordered a suspension of the russian armed forces advance. but as the ukrainian side has refused to negotiate, the advance of the main russian forces resumed this afternoon in accordance with the plan of the operation. but seems alia. there are both sides who are involved in this company that would like to see a peaceful resolution to and what we're witnessing here is history in the making

off season track. joining us here in the studio. so what is the latest on this? because, you know, i, i keep hearing from the russian defense ministry for example, in the ministry of foreign affairs. we're also hearing from you, crane and officials as well. and we're working really hard here at all to, to national, to make sure we are covering all sides of this conflict. bring us up to speed. well, i'd like to make it clear after these latest announcements from key of and from moscow that for instance, late on friday, the messages from the crating government and from the russian government work contradicting as to what's going on with these prospects of negotiations. because at one point we heard that border ms. lensky. he actually did it in a televised address. he called on lot of our to put him to immediately sit down and talk as then no, we heard about some kind of changes being proposed by the grady inside because 1st

they were talking about men sc using the bell, russian capital as a location for the talks then the grandmother said that the crating side decided that war, so it was a better place for it. and then somehow they disappeared for the night, the ukrainian side after that denied it, said that all along, they have been ready for talks. now though, we're hearing that the prospects of talks, at least for the moment, have been buried pretty much because recording to the grainy inside key of isn't happy with the terms that were put forward by russia. now that's no surprise that really i'm sort of jump in, but no surprise of course kip is going to be unhappy with his minutes. you know what day 3 of his military escalation in his country. those reports, if you check out all seasons to ground, for example, it looks like they're pictures of guerilla warfare happening on the streets of what's essentially a southern european capital. i mean, i wouldn't be surprised. zalinski is saying, no,

i'm not ready for talks or i don't like these conditions. he's right now a target. in his operation, i mean person was essentially calling the other day for a military coup. well, dro, you're absolutely right. definitely. europe hasn't seen this amount of violence and destruction since world war 2. and now, you know, it's evident for everyone. but at the same time, we do have to point out that according to a statement by doing to pass off the press victory of the bladder more potent because the russian leader at one point when these negotiations were actually being discussed or these, the prospect of sitting down at talking face to face mr. potent told his troops to stop. so perhaps this could have been a signal to key of that the, the, they should agree to these talks, or at least some of the terms that they were there was a tiny window. apparently there was a tiny window, the cracked open for a moment of opportunity, but potentially for peace. ok but, but he didn't get didn't hear what he wanted other p. m. and i guess he slammed the

door pretty quickly. it sounds like because the military operations continued. well, roy, it's not for me to decide whether that was quick are not all where trying to do is to tell you what the messages from both sides are. and like i said, this is a very important message from the russian side. mr. poodle told his troops to hold on and not to advance, apparently, then after the cranium side didn't accept his terms. now, the operation is still ongoing and we don't know what exact stages of it are next. at the same time, it's very important to hear what older murs lensky saying. he said, one of the state is that ukraine should immediately join the you and be allowed to join the you. so let's listen to that particular part of mister lansky speech. to understand what he means messed up with you. for the moment. the decisive moment

has come to close once and for all the issue of ukraine's accession to the you are you. i hope that germany and hungary will have the courage to support this decision as well. though, there's also something important. i like to point out the baltic states and poland . they are ready to welcome you grain with open arms. however, we do understand that this could act as a quote, sorry, this could be crossing the red line for russia. and in that case, mr. poodle, we don't know what his next steps are going to be. perhaps that will be the continuation of this military off. so indeed, accepting ukraine, just like that very quickly, could also be very dangerous, but at least they're not talking about joining nato anymore for the moment. yeah, i guess so, i guess so. meantime, earlier, nato's talked about sending, which for the 1st time in natural history, they're going to activate $40000.00 nato troops. and you know, their fears because people, you know, at the end of the day,

people don't actually know what tutoring is going to do. this is the one thing that a lot of people are saying they don't know his next move, and that's why i think there's so much fear going are going on around the world today in the project. don't go far. thanks for that. we'll see you soon. while we're bringing you all sides of the story here on artsy, international and rushes, military operation in what many of the west are labeling as an invasion of ukraine is now into it's day. the international condemnation is reaching fever, pitch and the conflict is worsening. more exposure is now being reported in the capital key f. let's bring out some pitches for you right now. that appears to be the result of a missile strike on a residential tower. on the outskirts of the capital flaws were damaged, unclear if any victims, though the russian defense ministry says that was caused by a mis all guidance failure in ukraine's defense system. but of course, opposed to that. she says it was a russian missile strike. and we do understand that russian officials are

investigating that right now. so we're getting accusations flying from both sides of the conflict. meantime, officials are telling people to seek shelter and any number of them you can see right here is a video. this is apparently on verified a, allegedly, from one of the shelters in key f, people are also going into the underground of the tube stations to seek shelter down there as well. now, the situation continues to be fraught for the don bass region. shelling continues to hit various buildings more than 120000 people have already been evacuated from the area over just the past week. but as we understand, many people remain. and as romana calls are f was reporting over the past few days, and don don bass and on. yes, he was saying that there are some people there who, who are having a sense if you fauria, because they've been living under an attack of sense of war for the past 8 years. however, there are many others who are living through a terrifying time. right now. he is a, his aunty roman culture if you visit an area that was recently shalt this

kindergarten in one of the next districts. it's just one of the places that was shelled on saturday morning. you can see shattered glass all around me. pieces fell off the building. at least 32 windows here had been shattered. and this is the place of impact if you can point the camera this way. right next to begin kindergarten. thankfully, i was done overnight. no kids were here. no teachers, i saw nobody was hurt. but you can take a look all around me. this is a heavily populated residential area. there are people living in each and every one of these houses. and i can see absolutely no military positions here at all. but the front line is located not very far away from here. but this place in the nest is being shelled throughout the 8 years since this conflict existed. room on cost for a hearty, don't ask. or now,

according to don't yet script public officials that malicious have taken control. they've c settlements around nikolai. of these images from the also, so they've taken 2 territories in the direction of the city of model as well as a nearby roads and areas as well as well as other various settlement. so let's, let's try and bring up a map for you here to give you an idea of what we're looking at. are the red and the blue areas just a moment. there they are, right? that these are the so called don bass republics, according to the borders of course, these borders were recently recognized independently by russia. that's basically how we got to where we are today. the russian defense ministry saying, saying that it's a assisting local forces to retake areas from ukrainian troops. but one of the key points is that they're actually pushing further penetrating at least 25 kilometers beyond what was the contact line. and if you just have a look at the larger scope of ukraine as a whole, you see

a number of cities that listed on the map that ukraine, i beg your pardon, that moscow is saying it has seized those cities. now meanwhile, the russian president, vladimir putin is alleging that ukrainian radical nationalist are in the army and they're using civilians as human shields by deploying heavy weapons and densely populated air is once again, this is according to the russian president. if you'll notice the ukranian radical nationalists are deploying heavy weapons, including multiple loans, rocket systems, right? in the central areas of large cities, including kia and hark of they plan to provoke a response from russian strike systems on residential areas. in fact, they act in the same way as terrorists do. they hide the truth and hope of playing the russia. it is reliably known that this is happening under the direction of foreign consultants, primarily americans. now obviously in a state of a war, conflicts such as best and as many laboring it though, certainly with western professional partners, calling this

a real estate of russian aggression. but look at that picture, right, that, that is a verified photo. it was just a moment ago there verified picture of ukrainian artillery squad, apparently, as we understand it was position in the middle of a residential area. now, a russian defense ministry spokesman says he says that the russian side will not be drawn into provocations. they will not attack heavy weapons in side cities. meanwhile, ukraine has scrapped the age limit for army entry, that bounding old men between 18 and 60, from leaving the country. cranial authorities are also issuing guns to anyone who will stand and fight in the key of region alone is reported that more than 10000 rifles, 100 out of volunteers. and in the northern city of children, they golf. it's mayor. it's calling up on all the citizens to take off arms. good morning, sidney is susan. this amazing fellow citizens of churney. cough i have urgently address you. we need to prepare for fighting on the streets. that's why anyone who

knows what i'm talking about. prepare, lighter fluids. another thing committed citizens, guys. i'm asking you to proceed to the dislocation center of territorial defense living. it was a very trying time for all involved. in this military conflict, we discussed the shoe of civilians drawing up arms to defend the city. with charles, shoot bridge, a former counterterrorism intelligence officer to give out weapons to anybody the office to use them against somebody is probably quite of that. cuz obviously it sparks desperation, of course. but the problem comes when weapons are given out freely, that festival you're giving it to people who might not be coffee trying to how to use them in the 1st instance. and secondly, you've got an issue that you've only got it on trusted as people are going to use those weapons against the invader off to they could be going to actually any. but you know, once you introduce those weapons freely into an environment,

yet will you kind of keep control of those weapons? right? now we are fielding reports from all over the conflict zone of you. crane. overall correspondents are embedded in various parts of the country, giving us all sorts of details that we are working very hard to verify here at oxy international. one of the latest angles with potential hot spots is the southern stuff region where apparently shells have been in coming across the border. still working to get all full confirmation on this. but the early reports now from donald quarter, ukrainian military just fired 3 mortar shells at the russian federation to ra stove region where i'm located right now. you should be able to see on your screen right now footage of the devastation left from it. luckily nobody was injured, infrastructure wasn't damaged either, as you can see with your own eyes, it landed in a forested area. now, the ukrainian foreign ministry says that its military has not been shooting at the territory of the russian federation, but this is not the 1st instance in which bombs have fallen here yesterday,

in this very same region of ra stove. at least 14 artillery strikes took place on border areas within the region and right after the beginning of the russian military offensive. there were other such instances in brand screech and there were, there was shelling there where houses were destroyed and 3 people were injured. the same thing happened in belgrade infrastructure was damaged, shelling happened, and 3 people were also injured there. interesting. interestingly enough, more recently, near belgrade region, a ukrainian soldier had been trying to escape to the russian federation, trying to basically defect and neo fascist groups. there that had their hands on artillery artillery batteries had fired out at him and unfortunately killed him and injured another servicemen in the, in the russian, a federal security services as well. now, because of this violence that's actually been happening on the russian federation, the authorities have taken measures. they've closed down russia,

southern air space. basically there's going to be no flights out of this area until march 2nd. that's at a minimum that can be extended. there's 12 airports in ra stove region alone, that will not be having flights until after that date for now. another thing they've done is close down all the schools that are located in boarder regence of that border. the don boss, people's republics. we have to remember that there are at least 3000 children from done yet can lugens cologne that have left that have evacuated that region to the russian federation and are connected to educational institutions in these border region. so that's another task. the russian authorities now have on their hands. what are they going to do? where are they going to put them so that they can make sure to continue their education? well asides with the latest updates from this odd military aggression and conflict in ukraine. all sorts of sanctions are being dropped at the punish russia for this

. and if we move from southern europe to the northern area, france now seized a russian cargo vessel. as we understand it was seized, had something to do with the latest raft of sanctions. now the e u u. s i new k, they've all, they're all announced announcing almost every day now. and you list of sanctions against moscow following deliberations between a various european leaders in brussels. a short time ago. i did discuss these sanctions without correspondent policy. however, i will listen to while they set the spelling out in some kind of spiral, they are growing with the u. k. imposing harsh sanctions on russia. they've now imposed an extra travel ban in terms of not only russian aircraft not being allowed to land here, but also private chase. at the same time v t b bank, the 2nd largest state own bank and a number of other russian banks have also been sanctioned. the u. k is no longer accepting visa applications from ukrainians who are stuck in that country unless

they have close family. here in the u. k. and beat bella was ambassador to london has been summoned and told that new members of the ruling elite also to be sanctioned. for supporting russia's military moves, the opposition leader has said that more sanctions are necessary, as one of the members of parliament from his party has started receiving death threats for search for criticizing and speaking out against nato expansion. the prime minister by his johnson earlier recorded a twitter video in which he called for an end to what he has termed a crisis. it was also an opportunity for him to show off his knowledge of the russian and ukrainian languages. putin's actions are leading to complete isolation for russia, shuttled by the rest of the international community, hit by immense economic sanctions and facing a needless and bloody war. these already costing countless lies from innocent

ukrainians to your russian soldiers who will never see their families again. and to my russian friends, your new view store davina advanced over empty this crisis. this tragedy can and must come to an end to show 32, but 3 mna villa to sabrina, who craner slow grey me. now the european union also says that it is imposing harsh sanctions that these it says will cripple the russian economy. they include sanctions on individual state owned companies and can sectors of the russian economy. all members of the russian parliament will now face asset freezes and travel bands at the same time in an extremely re move. the e u has frozen the assets of the russian president vladimir putin and his foreign minister. so gait live rav, although neither certainly not at this point,

are being subject to an e. u. travel ban. the european union and european leaders saying that one of this is necessary. but to want to for decent, we're adding president putin and foreign secretarial of rob to the list of sanctions. they are responsible for the deaths of innocent people in ukraine and for trampling on the international systems. london. we as europeans do not accept that. i'm in canada, the united kingdom and the united states have also decided to freeze the assets of president putin and minister liberals. and sophie, this is part of a co ordinated action. but one step further is being taken by the united states who has also imposed a travel ban on the pair following a television, a telephone conversation, a president biden held with a european commission president ursula 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. these sanctions,

i'll expect to trickle down and affect ordinary russians, so can here in the u. k and elsewhere in europe, russians are wondering what impact will have on them and on the families back home . so like abolish continues or we continue to see. these are tragic scenes coming out of ukraine and it's capital letter, joy and alexander, cut turbo, economists and political expert who are coming on the program with us right now. a very good, thank you. so we wanna, we want to address different countries for a moment, or can we just touch down with some of the economic aspects of this right now? because a ton of sanctions of a drop that i just basically, every day new punishment is coming out to target russia. and the us is right now cutting off 13 major russian companies from raising money on western markets including gas problem. of course the state state bank spouted bank. do you think things sanctions could bite? looks like they might? yes, i think you did. i think the, the liquid bite and they have already started to,

to bite actually because of the markets. you know tissue paper in the future and market expect ations already buys nina sanctions and the related and funding give and says we have seen the russian stocks plummeting and also taking and now with the sanctions, it goes further down on the sort of isolating direction economy from each western counterparts and more generally from the national financial system, a true sanctions that that are targeted us major russian financial institutions and to do lightly off of russia for amusing switched into bank system. let's say that there is discussion going. that's right. as you say, that has been discussed right now as we speak,

mr. cuts hip, i wanted to ask you, i've been looking at some of the online commentary regarding how people are looking at russia right now, of course, that they're rounded and russia, that there's a huge amount of worldwide condemnation to this, this ministry conflict that's being played out in ukraine, some people are calling this a 911 moment. others are calling this and iran moments. some people are saying that this is going to change russia for the next 20 years. i would you read into that what it's difficult to see. oh, it will change russia because everything can happen honestly, but from the point of view of european leaders and the european peoples there will be a change or radical change in the view the russian threats. so to say we are not talking. yeah, it kinda makes me security related and the economy is only compounding that, but primarily nobody wants to do business with someone they fear. and actually

there is this fear that the malicious power has no limits and that it can threaten any country. that is, you know, neighboring it to, obviously this, the fear is exaggerated and they don't account for all the alliances. that would be events such a scenario to unfold us. but at the moment, there is clearly dismissed the rejection of the move, the country, the, the european security consensus that was established after one or 2 and regarding the economy. well, the russian economy has already been impacted by sanctions since 2014 actually. so there is a kind of resilience and these false risks, russia syndrome that we have seen and follow the anger, but other all the test close direction. they're going to need billions of dollars

for us to grow up close to technological. not just that mr. content, but surely a military operation, such as this is going to cost a fortune to right. it will cost a fortune, but this is something that we should state in finance. so far we need a huge reserve. the problem is that maybe russia will not be able to access some of the reserves, and the u. s. reserve has been preparing to actually direction central bank from its official dollar reserves, which will be really an unprecedented mover in history in modern history. but should these happen, us? this would be really, really radical, brick, out of all financial architecture that has been in place seems world war 2.

and it will be faster than the development of alternative systems. we have the systems to be efficient enough to you know, manage some of the negative impact. it's difficult to say in the long run probably, but in the short term, they will inflict a massive damage to the economy. yeah, i mean, as, as you say, i mean, it's, you said a few moments ago the russia can, can finance this military conflict whether or not russia can cope with a political and she monetary a blow back. that's really what we wait right now or the economy and political export. thanks so much. we appreciate your opinions. thank you very much. thank you . well, it ought to continue to take a lot of flack during this military conflict. we're doing our best to cover all angles for you. leading australian pe tv company fox tail will no longer distribute

r t a. citing the situation in ukraine. we got reaction from our channels deputy editor in chief. our teacher was tirelessly, were to bring valuable facts and use to an audience really around the world where they organizational government either call 4 or $430.00 to be taken off the air. it's simply highlights the policy of media freedoms in the nation. they were present to look at the association of your injury. analysts, who i'm the one hand, so practically declared themselves as the founders of journalists right yet. so readily turned back on the very founding principle to support the suppression of news and journalists under political pressure ever were time to recognize the importance of all gathering news and understanding the old use is now. so folks tell, has sent a letter to ortiz saying it ended distribution of a quote concern about the situation in ukraine. the channel added that it considers it does have the right to do so under the license agreement with this network. well, does it come with, amid growing pressure on this channel?

internationally we are feeling it here. artie was already banned by potent national broadcasting council of the russia started. it's what's calling its military operation in ukraine. the british culture secretary is calling to reconsider off his license. meanwhile, even before the current crisis erupted, as you probably know, is brand new, just a channel? archie deutsche a r t d e was blocked in germany almost from day one. actually, a political analyst respond to says, moves like this, a worrying. i've got a number of debates on our team, and i've discussed many times with people who dealt with my disagree on many opinions when a lot of people, i mean, so there are a lot of debates on a lot of different subjects. r t has brought people together from different different political horizons, have brought them to debate, to discuss some agree, some disagree. and that is the purpose of journalism. and that is the purpose of the media meant that people who are watching make their own opinion, r t is not an ideology. it's a place where people can meet, discuss, debate on ideas. and that's fundamental. if we take that out or democracy is there

is no more democracy. so it's extremely important, maybe the mission down to be said stations, we have to find something on the internet. if the internet is close down, we have to find something else. it will be tough, these times are extremely tough. now, i don't know if they will get better, but we have to continue the fight for free speech. everybody is entitled to free speech or in our democracy. is this based on that? isn't that what we're taught, isn't that what's written in, in our constitution, we've got to fight for the right for to free speech. and i mean, we have access to all the media and that the people choose what is right and runs wrong. call every day that goes pasta. there's more condemnation towards kremlin with this military operation as potent is calling it in ukraine. of course, western leaders are calling it something quite different now when it comes to those who are opposed to this, there are a number of protests that are happening in different parts of the world right now. it's not just in parts of the world is also it's also in rush.
