from virginia said he sent a letter to all of the tech companies, asking them to get rid of r t and get rid of with nick. so they don't want to have a debate. they don't want to listen to people who are saying, hang on a minute. let's look at this objectively. and let's not look at it as if it's some sort of a sporting of it because it's deadly serious stuff. or i don't know, thanks for coming on with falling this closely of course, dire situation tonight done mcadams, executive director at the wrong pool. peace institute have a good evening. thank you. rushing, ukrainian delegations are traveling to as mentioned, the ukraine. better as border talks this morning. after kim's authorities agree to the last moment to attend negotiations with no preconditions, there's been a lot of back and forth, but it's safe to say now the peace talks are happening. the russian delegation is now in the global region in bella, luce, where the negotiations are expected to take place the exact location, those captain, secret for security reasons. but we understand that it's going to happen right on

the border between ukraine and ballard. bruce, near the tripage river, perhaps one of the border crossings. the media are not invited, obviously, but we expect the public statement from the russian negotiators. as soon as the meeting is over, russia's chief negotiator of latimer 1000000 ski said earlier that the parties are now deciding on logistics and security arrangements. so let's have a listen to what he sat. we have received information from the ukranian side that it agrees to negotiate talks will take place in the common region as we proposed earlier. now we are creating a path for the ukranian site to pass through safely. they wouldn't we awaiting here . so the ukranian delegation, kansas were initially low that these talks would happen. the russian delegation came to minutes earlier on sunday, only to hear that key of has no desire decided delegation to valerie on the grounds that meant allegedly took active part in russia's military operation in ukraine. this is something that the battle russian president, alexander lucas shank,

or vehemently denied than the russian sad. we're going to wait until 3 pm moscow time and i will leave. and as they were about to depart from moscow, the ukrainian president phone, his bell rushing counterpart and said that he's ready to send his people and have negotiations. however, he said later on, but he doesn't have high hopes for the outcome of these talks. it's going to be honest, i do not believe in the outcome of this meeting, but let them try so that not a single citizen of ukraine has any doubts that i, as president, did not try to stop the war when there was at least a small chance but to chance nonetheless, it's hard to tell exactly what has caused this new turn from the craning side earlier, the printing president suggested other european capitals like warsaw brought his lava boot past, as well as eastern bull and turkey and the capital of another former soviet, for public by john bach, who but as the deadline said by the russian side approach to vladimir zelinski,

all of a sudden changed his mind and confirm the training. delegation headed by a deputy foreign minister is on its way towards the valor with border russian delegation. and valuation includes a deputy foreign ministry deputy minister of defense had of the foreign affairs committee in russia's parliament, russia's envoy and valor roost, as well as russian presidential aid. me treatment in ski, he is the had of the russian delegation. we know from what the russian president said earlier that the russian offensive was hold it on february 25th wednesday. lensky 1st mentioned he wants to talk and discuss a natural status for ukraine. then he changed his mind and the operation was reserved. it's also hard to tell if the 2 sides can find common ground. here you watching out international are continuing coverage of the rush. ukraine crisis continues out of the short break. ah,

a, it isn't with us, but i'm on the one, you know, maybe a with

the, with a hard to do a yeah. a yes. you have to work with a ah

oh good morning from moscow's it out international. it's now coming up to 20 to 1 in the morning. moscow time. my name is kevin owen. let me take you through best. i can have the latest developments on the ground in hugh crane on day for coming today 5. now this conflict with reports advances by russian troops and dumbass forces against the crania army in various parts of the country. a map next marked in red and blue, the 2 don bass republics, according to the borders recently recognized by russia, the russian defense minister announced that lou ganske militia forces of retake and territory from the crowning army, 52 kilometers beyond the previous front line. while the next forces of advanced by 12 kilometers eye witness video next, appearing to confirm multiple accusations of ukraine's military using civilians as

human shields. we had that mentioned in the un security meeting earlier on by, by mr. vaseline benzo, the russian representative there. and they also say they're operating inside residential areas as well. will this footage is showing frightened residence trying to get kids armored personnel carrier out of a public court yard in front of residential building. this new pictures coming in. i've not seen himself yet, which one woman says is for the children hiding from the wall? oh, i mean, despite the russian army to advance, they don't ask and against republics, claimed that several times were targeted in missile attacks, including in nicholas care were russian, military forces rescued. an elderly review are different from what you are sure, because you do are covering for, for that if you follow up with

saying in the do not scan against republics. next parties, roman cosser, if in the don bus region with the latest from their the ukrainian army are retreating. but so they are destroying everything on they are on their way on this, on this retreat, according to a local officials are the creating an army or targeting civilian infrastructure in people's home. and they're using a so called a scorched earth policy against the civilians and not the military. now they added that to ukrainian military, the ones who are still fighting or placing their positions in near civilians, homes and schools, and kindergartens, and virtually turning civilians into a human shields. once again, this according to local officials, and of course we can hear artillery strikes here in zone ned square. i am right now on saturday. a massive, massive artillery attack was heard throughout the city,

and they were 152 millimeter hold, sir haulitz or shelves that, that lands. it's about 5 kilometers away for war, around standing right now. and it wants to villian was reportedly killed during those at sac sir. the city of the nest suspended public transportation. many houses had been destroyed the apartment buildings. and so here is one witness account from saturday night of what can you do? you just can't do anything about it. thank god, or at least i am alive. god is looking out for me. well, the total number of civilians who were killed sir, during the ukrainians armies at sax. now stands at 8 people this only over the last as 72 hours ends of scores of people had been in, had been injured as well. like i said before, civilian infrastructure had been targeted here in the nest,

as the thousands of thousands of people now have no access to water or electricity . now, over in logan's people's republic, an oil depot, a fuel depot was sir, ah, struck by a ballistic missile. ah, creating a huge a fire. apparently the missile is called a tortuga, or it's in may to classification assessed $1.00 to $1.00 scarab and it is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. that wasn't the case. in this instance. however, it weighs 2000 kilograms and a very, very 5 frightful weapon. now, people's sir militia reported that there had been no fatalities or there in logan's . however, some people were, are wounded as a result of this ballistic missile attack, according to a local officials. and according to the russian defense ministry are done. african logans, peoples or militias are moving deeper and deeper into the territory formerly controlled

by ukraine and both or both. the republic, sir, report that they have liberated several settlements in le ganske and in don't ask as well. they're also reporting that the summer ukrainian soldiers are actually surrendering and switching sides as that they've been promised a safe package, a passage back home and an amnesty from this a war on our head of the nest people's republic. denise bushland said that this operation will, i will last for a few more days, but he said it will not stop until the rest of the nest people's republic is liberated and that's a statement is echoed by the soldiers on the ground as well as them here in my personal opinion, we must get our territories back from these evil peoples to there will be peace and every one will sleep well closer to roger. the enemy is behaving in different ways and most places they run, but sometimes they fight to the very end. but that's mainly those fighting for

political reasons. basically every one has running away and giving up. it's been relatively quiet here and anesco this says sunday as the fighting is moving further away a from a, from the city. some of the most fear. so fierce fighting has taken place in the south of the republic, near the city of farmer rouble, which is currently encircled by other than neo nazi us off. but sally, which has been linked to o. war criers by the united nation sends a, reportedly, they have a place their positions around the civilians using them as a human shield. next on the prom pill of the gray zone, independent new site told us that in her view, washington's influence is a major factor in the situation unfolding in ukraine. at the moment it's been going on for 8 years. ukraine's sovereignty was initially violated in 2014, when the united states supported openly a coup in kin, installed the public government and then sparked off conflict in the country east.

the suffering of the people of don bass who have experienced shelling and artillery fire or the hands of the ukrainian military over the past 8 years. leading to the death of nearly 15000 people. what their story has been completely erased in u. s. media. i think if you pulled the average american individual u. s. american individual, they wouldn't have even known that there was a war in ukraine for these past 8 years. president biden just approved $350000000.00 in weapons to be released to ukraine to the training of rent. i wonder where the weapons will go, considering russia has all but wiped out ukraine's main military capacity. it's disturbing because just in recent weeks in the united states report surfaced in media, showing that and this is according to u. s. officials, united states have been covertly training ukrainian courses in order to respond to

a potential russian entry into their country. creating the kind of pretext for a situation as we saw in syria where the u. s. isn't officially conscious working with the government or the military but training paramilitary group in order to destabilize ukraine and embroil russia in a prolonged conflict. i think that is the worst case scenario we could see play out . at this point. i went, this is a fill this footage next to show you, which they say shows russian forces entering ukraine's 2nd city hall called something also played by the mother. he added that russian troops already in the city center. meantime, fighting being reported in the suburbs of kiev earlier. some buildings catch fire amid the clashes. the local met in the video addresses ukrainian forces of repelled russian attacks. video in from earlier on over night. unverified video appearing from kiev apparently showing crossfire just kilometers from the heart of the

capital. closely infrastructure ministry building around 25 kilometers from the capital vendor reported explosion, causing a large fire and oil f o. this, i'm verified, video shows the plays with plumes of smoke billowing into the night sky. and also in the suburbs of kiev hushes defense ministry says the ukrainian army is use ammunition filled with phosphorus as well as rockets. internationally banned by the un. ukraine is not commented on the allegations. if we do get a response, we'll let you know what they had to say about that. resilient wilmington kramer, ukrainian units of desperate to stop. the russian army begun the mass use of ammunition filled with phosphorus in the suburbs of kiev. and near the gusto mil airfield. they have used 122 millimeter how it's their shelves in rockets for grad installations from soviet times. the use of these munitions is prohibited by the 3rd protocol of the 1980 united nations convention uncertain conventional weapons

shall not. with russia, forced to stop flights to europe, the only way to get there now is a long way around. for instance, by train much maria, for now. she's on her way to the front lines of the fighting and guns takes us through travel. there looks at the moment we arrived to rocephin rushes southwest. usually it's a 2 hour relaxing flight from moscow, but instead, this time it took us more than 15 hours on a train. all major airports in the area bordering the conflict have been close since the beginning of the operation, as you can see, security side even here, while it's more than 200 kilometers away from the fighting. also remember, and her meeting with russian count bought, rich, foreign secretary said the written will never recognize ra, stop. and we're one is regions as russian mistaking them for the nance and logan's republics war tone areas no far from here. that's here. thousands of iraqis have escaped hearing the last 8 clean to fighting the ball to course in just a couple of our driveway. and we are now taking the same tree but opposite

direction . oh, very good. we crossed the border lugens. he's now some 65 kilometers away. bullet proof jackets and helmets is a mouthful. old journalist working now here in both lugens and, and he has peoples republics. we're going to be driving. they sway through the tertiary now on the total control of the republican forces. but every day, it's still shall. i haven't been here since 2014 when the conflict between ki of and then the countries breakaway east and regions of the guns and the news started

. thank you. russia haven't seen this. they sign a period here half to those events. the road runs through little towns in your villages. there was one tech point just behind us, 3 lives. traffic lights have counted 5 cars. i've seen a couple of people here in there and i can tell you, it does seem quite abandoned. it's hard to count of course, but a couldn't to different estimates in 8 years. the conflict took around $15000.00 lives, plus many fled and do not will to come back yet. and now with peace talks, hope to high that the war will end finally and here and peace will return. and we journalists will no longer be required to wear this while we're can here brief notion of party from lugens, great public people to take it to some of russia's biggest cities to protest

against the military operation. oh, wow. yeah. hundreds out on the streets, the central st. petersburg, jumping known to me would have chosen to testify in taking the police. and there are also reports that more than 300 people have been arrested in 32 cities across russia. similar demonstrations also being held around the world with biggest is in the german capital, where more than a 100 thousands have been taking part in ukraine solidarity march, according to police, some flu, ukrainian flags, m o masks in the country's blue and yellow cover. their heads of the u. s. foreign ministry agree to provide lethal weapons to ukraine worth 450000000 euro. according to the u foreign policy chief, he also added that e u sanctions will freeze about half of russia's financial reserves. now, the use also announced a ban on this channel r t and sputnik. the news agency and subsidiary companies for broadcasting in the

block. our editor in chief, margarita simonian has responded to news of the restrictions from the you foreign policy chief, joseph bar. the peoples and entities that are going to be subject to restrictive measures, political figures who whole key role are deployed in system in russia. both the ones who'll disseminate propaganda, propagandist and military. we are going to ban russia today and hispanic from broadcasting in the union. because he had a champion self information, mighty polish. you were to say, you are scott, i'm normally at the desk of the ear that for years has been selling the whole world . how much the treasure and love freedom of speech and how they appreciate and loved diversity of thoughts, diversity of news and information. today in response to the actions of russia. ukraine meant to protect russian speaking citizens. there. the

e. u announced that we won't broadcast there any more. what the president's decision to start, the operation has to do with us is unclear. it's absolutely obvious that no matter whether we continue broadcasting or not, the operation would proceed. it's absolutely clear that it's just an excuse. they wanted to close us for a long time, but it would have looked bad in the eyes of their own citizens, our audience, because it's against freedom of speech anyway. and now it convenient excuse appeared and they decided to get rid of the long lasting, uncomfortable issue of us. and our huge audience in this way will find some other way to communicate with our audience for sure without direct broadcasting. but the people of the european union today can see how much the la to talk of freedom of speech costs yesterday more. margarita simonian earlier political science lecturer, john laughlin told me that europe span of all to international raises, disturbing issues and questions. nato saber rattling to in countries outside the military block, nato is the most powerful military alliance in the history of humanity. its

expenditure dwarfs that of russia, its power dwarfs that of russia. how can anyone say after these decades of natives was in yugoslavia in libya that is not a threat to any one, particularly when the british foreign secretary britain is one of the most important nato powers. it seems to imply that moldova is part of nato motive, or is not part of nato. she also says we have to fight for ukraine because otherwise we will be threatened. well, nature does not have to fight few crane. nature has to fight for its members. states, it doesn't fight for other countries, it fights for its members states. so everyone is losing their heads at the moment. and therefore, it's entirely understandable that russia should be raising the stakes in this way by saying ashley von delay on the european commission president. and i am saying that, so the, you, i'm just reading your, the quote will ban russian media outlets. that's r t a and sputnik accusing us is spreading harmful dis, information. we try our best to put a balance across,

and we know we're licensed by off. come in the u. k. and europe. they've deemed us to be ok to license. we are of course, going to put the russian point of view. what's wrong with that? well, and what's wrong with it is that it's totalitarian. if you don't suppress media outlets, that's a basic principle. if the e u is going to suppress artie and sputnik, that means european union citizens will no longer be able to watch those channels. no one forces them to watch them or it is a measure that she is announced which drastically reduces the liberties of a you citizens into. i'm sure it doesn't make a slightest bit of difference to russia. ah, but it does make a difference to people who want to watch out in sputnik. and, i mean we've got used to tell attorneys and for 2 years now with all the coven madness. but this is a, this is a, this is in the same category. in any case what, what laws is she is claiming to be operating under lee?

you doesn't have that authority any more than it has the authority. by the way, as far as i know, to close air spaces, you mentioned in your report above all, i mean, independently of the issue between russia and nato and ukraine. i think anyone watching this, any european citizen watching this should be deeply preoccupied by the assault on his own rights, his or her own rights. you mentioned just now in your report from london about the seizure of assets belonging to rationale, goths in london or what happened to due process. what happened to property rights. and we really saying that from one day to the next, somebody's property can be taken away just because they are deemed to be politically close to russia. this is literally dictatorship. i don't want to sound hysterical, but somebody has to a, pull the alarm bell on this and say that these kinds of measures are undermine the very thing which are the british government and other european governments claim to be standing full, namely the rule of law and democracy while if you can still watch us in your part

of the world, thank you for choosing and to art international. that is the latest from moscow. so father, so thank you for watching this extended will be addition with me. kevin owen, harty dot com has got more fierce. well, 247 us. this serious and fluid situation continues to develop for now for me in the team. good morning on our coverage continues just a few minutes from now. ah ah . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race group is often very dramatic development. only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk who is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led? direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the

shallow a. christy or it isn't with the one you know, maybe a bomb ah, with

no difficulty in getting a lot of the life demons. b a . c all your bills and those are the radio with the driven by green shaped banks control center. those with there's things we dare to ask

look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is a conflict with the 1st law. show your identification, we should be very careful about personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear a very job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with the

aah tonight. following a raft of aggressive nato statements and huge new deliveries pledged by blog members, president potent books, russia strategic deter, unfold, including nuclear units on jaila. ah, i'm ordering the defense minister and chief of staff to the russian army, the tearing forces on special alerts. in other development, the you announces the closure of its air space to rush and flights, as well as a band on our channel, our to international and split. nick could use agency and subsidiary companies from broadcasting in the block. the russian and ukranian delegations are on the way to the ukraine, the bellows border and the coming out after you have agreed to negotiate quote, without freaking.
