your watching our international live from moscow, my name is peter scott and wherever you are joining us from. welcome to the program . now as the russian military operation in ukraine enters its 5th day, these the latest updates the videos of what appears to be mr. le talk coming from the south of ukraine, where locals are reporting ongoing fighting. this video purportedly shows an apartment building, allegedly hits by an overnight walk. it's. it's like in northern ukraine, the lower floors were damaged where a fire ruptured and report say one woman was injured and the blade has been extinguished. meanwhile, forces of the didn't yet allude guns, republics are advancing westward. ukrainian ships reportedly in retreat among the

liberated areas is the village of nikolai of cur. when elderly woman said she narrowly escaped shelling ah, hook up with the right. meanwhile, ukrainian troops are believed to be surrounded by russian forces. that's near the south eastern city of murray. you. pl, reporting on this. and other developments on the phone lines. his correspondence more, i guess the f. what we are hearing is that the city of mary opal, which is ukraine's largest port, is, is now almost surrounded with, with the garrison. that is there. the russian side has said that it is nationalist elements that are putting up the stiffest resistance. and that those units

belonging to the regular military to regular formations, that they are choosing to negotiate. and in some cases, lay down their arms and return to their homes. but it is very difficult to verify this information at this time because events are developing too quickly. and because there are so few reliable reports close to the front lines where it is extremely dangerous. the situation there is that many roads have been mind. we have received reports from the city of the dance, which is a half way between the crimea and mario ball, which is at the axis of russia, the advance, which is, which is where you credit units have planted in the city itself. and in the outskirts mines, for example, to, to surprise that to devastate advancing force as it is very difficult to reach mario below the vicinity of mario pal. at this point, they have been,

according to reports, more than a dozen civilian casualties. here in the city of the near victims of sons directed, find and to neighbourhood civilian neighborhoods. places where, whither are apartment buildings and, and other houses we have seen or, of course soon over ukraine, different reactions to this operation. there are certainly civilians who have been happy to see the russian forces but there, but they have also been those who have been less than happy to see again. russian troops advancing through through you crate on the whole with some authority is with the the good the good with that the, the administrations of various villages and towns there has been contact. they have a been somewhat responsible. i have tried to fly to agree trying to negotiate with russian forces by responsibilities, for example, about joint patrols with police being with police being kept up to speed and

allowed to do their job to prevent looting, for example, to prevent crime murders from taking place in the anarchy that is often left behind after military operations and the lady, we discussed the actions of the military claim to enter the city and sure order and reassure residence. they convinced me that this would not affect the life of the city in any way. there will be order in the city, our police will patrol at any info. there is, of course, also also the fact that the russian military has been keeping us up to date on it's statistics, which is how many various military infrastructure sites, objectives they have destroyed, which is at this point over a 1000 as well as the majority from what we understand of ukraine's air force has been destroyed many before being able to take off many jets, many helicopters before being able to take off in stripes directed at airports and

airfields antagonists and other objects belonging assets belonging to the ukrainian air force via west bank of the west bank of care. this also said to be under the control of the russian military def cook, the situation and care fees. of course, desperate made much more so after authorities there, boosted that they had handed out almost 30030000 assault rifles. 10000000 rounds of ammunition, our p, jeez, as well as grenades to the civilian population. we heard at 1st that the only a passport was required than that. there was footage of people just coming up to the to boxes and trucks picking up guns by the dozen and, and leaving, which has resulted in as we have seen on social media, get a verified footage anarchy in the, in the capital a capital of ukraine. nevertheless, the russian side says it is making all efforts to avoid civilian casualties, which,

which includes a bad on bombing blog, lunar rocket missiles at indiscriminately at cities and trying to keep will stripes, procedures strikes to our military infrastructure sites. and again, have reiterated that they are offering ukrainian forces. those that don't, don't belong to nationalist or neo nazi battalions. they're offering them the chance surrender that they will be treated with respect and allowed to return to their families. moses to believe that the russian ministry of defense will continue to treat all ukrainian armed forces service men who lay down their arms with dignity. we understand that they took an oath to protect the people of ukraine or some of all who lay down their arms and cease resistance will be returned to their families. but on the whole, of course, there is a mood of escalation, international escalation, that is the big fear. now,

a runaway escalation that could lead to disastrous disastrous consequences. we have heard the european union and nato countries say that they will supply arms, including heavy munitions, to, to ukraine, to ukraine. some forces were corridors seen in west and ukraine. we have fall to her tremendous numbers, thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands of guided missiles as well as anti anti air missiles. and even reports of jets, jets fighter jets that they are planning to hand over to ukraine. it is unclear how they will be able to do that, especially in you of a statement by senior russian official, the any such transfers could, could potentially be targeted by be targeted by precision stripes level as the situation of course, developing at a very rapid and a very concerning speed, but we will try to keep up with development here, especially nice than is the new crane in that the nets republic as it is recognized

by, by us in russia now as the nearest a little guns soldiers advance, many of them now have the opportunity to see loved ones. one of those is alex, a cedar of he managed to see his parents for the 1st time after years have been separated by conflict. here are you still with. ready me, you know, mom i this is a little strange though, were similarly a fortune a, let's now have a lot. are developments on the ground in ukraine. martin,

red and blue on this map are the 2 don bus republics, according to the borders recently recognized by russia. the russian defense ministry says that 2 guns militia forces have we taken territory from the ukrainian army, 60 kilometers beyond the previous front line. while the nets forces have reportedly advanced 21 kilometers and zooming out to ukraine, these are the cities that russia's military claims have either seized or to be currently fighting for these on verified images are coming in from the ukrainian capital where local, say, air defense systems are actively operating and this video for quarterly shows an explosion near mario paul, the targets of which is still unclear. and we are working to confirm what is going on in that area. diplomatic talks are to resolve the conflict, are expected to begin soon with the ukranian delegation, arriving at the border with bella roost to meet russian officials.

we are joined, alive now by our t correspondent constantine rush, called konstantin. what's the latest? what's the latest news about these possible talks? yes. hello peter. well, the negotiations between russia and ukraine haven't started yet, but this might happen any minute. now. the valve was foreign. ministry has already confirmed that the ukrainians are in deliverers and that everything was ready for for these talks to begin. according to a bela russian politician who's been involved in the preparations for this meeting, the delegation might want to have some breast after a long journey they took through poland to bella, roost, to avoid areas hid by heavy fighting. so let's have a listen to what this politicians that we've been the was not ukrainian delegation and on the talks by a long route through the republic,

poland and them for the territory of the public capacities for the walls or bridge border crossing. they said this with down to security issues, since i've seen some ongoing on the russian border area and in, in the county gulf region. i think that they could become the victims of either accidental rock in fire or territory defense. because they tribute to tens of thousands of machine gun grenades and then all the g, the civilians about checking over the medical certificates or criminal records that i'm out there. while the meeting is exact, location is kept secret for security reasons, but understand that the 2 sides will sit down for the talks in the bell, russian region of guerrmo near the border with ukraine. this is where we are now. and we also know that the meeting is going to happen at a government residence provided by the, by the rushing side. and we're also expecting public statements from the to

delegation. as soon as this meeting is over, i got to tell you that chances were initially low that these talks would happen. the russian delegation came to mention yesterday on sunday, only to hear that kids have a gave, has no desire to send it to go. feet are here and engage in a dialogue. the russian delegation set an ultimatum that they are going to wait until 3 pm moscow time yesterday, and then they going to leave. and as they were about to depart from moscow, the training president vladimir lansky made a u. turn and he boned to his ballad, russian counterpart to alexander lucas shank, and said that he is willing to stand his people and sit down for it talks all in all. it's hard to tell if the 2 sides can find common ground here. what if in moscow said publicly in the past couple of days, indicates that the positions of the 2 sides are far apart. but let's wait and see

maybe something will change after this meeting. indeed. lost the weights and the cost. yeah, i hope you keep us up to date on any news when you get on those possible folks. that's all the correspondence. konstantin ross, co report in lie from gold bell. thank you. now journalist and preschool analyst java runner believes that these negotiations are one of the best ways of resolving this conflict. there are, there are no box. there are no peace talks. that means more miners in the you can know as the situation exist on the ground, it seems that the russian forces were dick order. and are you kidding me? it was maybe in a matter of days and weeks. so i think it is an option with the u. green in government, not to directly speak with the russian government and whole negotiations and get concessions. unfortunately, it seems of bigger a game plan which is being being played up on the ukraine. and that is there a vest, perhaps it has been infused by the military industrial complex be they are they

want the reference to resort? now in the euclidean and i think that may be a part of the problem because it was very well known. everybody that there is no match to the russian military. and nonetheless, there, then there will be new gram is not often father wishes that that means that the perhaps rest wants more wall in inventing that part of the world. now the united nations security council has called a red emergency meeting to focus on those tensions in ukraine. that's as the u. s. on this western allies seek to isolate moscow. russia recently use his veto as a permanent member of the council to counsellor resolution against moscow. while china, india, and united arab emirates all abstained on new york correspondence, caleb bolton reports the representative of the united states hurled a lot of allegations at russia, accusing russia of many things,

and blaming russia for the entire conflict. here's some of what we heard. we need to take extraordinary actions to meet this threat, to our international system, and do everything we can to help ukraine and it's people. just this morning, president putin put rushes nucular forces on high alert. even though he is invading a country with no nuclear weapons, we urge russia to tone down is dangerous rhetoric regarding nuclear weapons. now from there are a number of countries aligned with the united states echoed these allegations from the united states, placing the blame for the conflict solely on the shoulders of russia. now we heard china take to the floor of the un security council meeting. and when china spoke, they called for a d, ask elation they urged dialogue. china supports and encourages or diplomatic

efforts conducive to a peaceful settlement of the ukraine crisis and welcomed the earliest possible direct dialogue and negotiations between russia and ukraine. at the same time, china supports equal footed dialogues between the you and russia on european security issues. now from there, we did see russia take the floor and debunk a large number of the allegations and he did rhetoric we heard from other countries . one theme that was very key in the remarks made by russian ambassador and a band via was fake news than the fact that there are videos circulating throughout the internet. that purport to be from ukraine showing russian atrocities. when in reality, some of them have been filmed in libya, some of them have been filmed in syria. some of them have even been filmed, come from video games and united states. and these, this crisis broke out not as a result of the launch of the russian special military operation in ukraine,

but much earlier when for 8 years you turned a blind eye to the crimes perpetrated by the ukrainian nationalists in dunbar. and again, today you did not mention at all the suffering of the residence of dunbar. that's the russian ambassador, pointing out that while there is so much concern for the people of ukraine, there seems to be no concern over the past 8 years for the people of the don boss region. the peoples public of don adds the people's republic of lugens and what they've been enduring. the shelling the food blockades, the ban on their language, the threats against them. we had the russian ambassador taking the floor and just kind of refuting a lot of these allegation. now that was followed by a very theatrical speech by the ukranian representative in which he spoke in both english as well as russian and which she, you know, did a lot of dramatic things and made personal appeals to members of the security council. not a lot of agreement between great powers represented in the meetings,

some pretty big gaps in their understanding of world events. but it seemed like one thing that did bring everyone together was a desire for the fighting to. and it seems like everyone wanted the conflict to come to an end. everyone wanted there to be some kind of resolution. so that is at least one thing the countries had in common despite the fact that they had very, very different interpretations of events. benjamin shaw, who is an economist, the paris school of technology and business said that nato is in no position to lecture moscow. he 3 should not become an outpost for consultation between major powers. we must ask the question, is natal a defensive mechanism or is it it a, it aggressive, you know, mechanism to, to disrupt keys in the region. so we are not forgetting what is happening in yugoslavia. right. and why is natal still an expense

eastward expect is were 5 times white. is natal renege on what is promise he has promised to russia about not expanding to the east? why is natal see are expanding to the doorstep or russia, o. e u foreign policy officials have agreed to provide lethal weapons worth 450000000 euros with policy direct. so your sir barrell say in the block will freeze a substantial amount of rushes. financial reserves reporting the latest on the use measures his correspondence, peter oliver, and these are some of the most forcefully u sanctions that we've seen so far. we heard from the you commission, president earth lafond ally and he said that there would be some potential economic blow back on europe in citizens, but that the sanctions and the measures that were taken were necessary. now one of

those measures is the cutting off of russia from the swift banking payment system. and we heard from jo, said barrel, who's the, you high representative for foreign affairs, pretty much the european union's foreign minister. and he said that it wouldn't involve all russian bank slow to disconnect the financial system of a country, which is a strongly interrelated with other answers. another economies cannot be laid this with seizures over night. we have to keep the possibility for the financial system to work in order to people. ready to use it and to send money to their relatives, but don't worry. the degree of disconnection. ace, carefully calibrated in order to create the maximum damage to the financial system of russia. on the line confirmed that all russian aircraft would be banned from entering you aircraft. in a comprehensive move from the block,

we are shutting down the e u. air space for russians. we are proposing a prohibition on all russian owned russian registered and russian controlled aircraft. these aircraft will no more be able to land in take off over fly the territory of the european union. and that includes the private jets of oligarchs to hi representative for foreign affairs. burrell also announced that all t and spoke, nick would be banned from broadcasting in the european union. he made the announcement on sunday night. we also heard from our tea editor in chief following, not news that taking a crucial step to turn off the tap before the russians. information manipulation in europe may, banning russia today and sporadic broadcasting into the p and union.

you would say you got to renew the e u. that for years has been selling the whole world. how much of the treasure and love freedom of speech, how they appreciate and love diversity of thoughts, diversity of news and information. today in response to the actions of russia, ukraine meant to protect russian speaking citizens. there that you announced that we won't broadcast there anymore. 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 lot of talk of freedom of speech costs. yes, the you have promised more sanctions while russian troops remain in ukraine would

be looking to see what form they will take of political expert john laughlin to express concern about the you bonding artsy thing. it says a disturbing precedent when it comes to freedom of speech. 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 r t and sputnik, that means european union citizens will no longer be able to watch those channels. no one forces them to watch them. it is a measure that she is announced which drastically reduces the liberties of you citizens. it. 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 so this is in the same category. in any case what, what laws is she is claiming to be operating under the you doesn't have that

authority any more than as the authority. by the way, as far as i know, to close air space, as you mentioned in your report, above all, i mean independently of the issue between russia, 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, galks in london. well, 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 russian president vladimir putin has reacted

so what he described as aggressive language by nato members. and as well as those pledges for big new arms supplies to ukraine. he reacted by puts in russia strategic forces on high alerts, which includes the nuclear weapons, was very wiggly, as you can see, western countries and not only taking unfriendly actions towards a nation in the economic sector. i'm referring to the illegitimate sanctions that everyone is aware of. however, top officials of nato member states are also using aggressive language towards our country. that's why i'm ordering the defense minister and chief of staff to put the russian army to turn forces on special alert. rushes, strategic forces include both nuclear and non nuclear units, long range bombers, submarines, warships, and jets. the highlights also links up miss our warning systems and defenses against attacks from space. now, western leaders have expressed grave concerns about putin's decision while ramping up their military presence in eastern europe, which russia has long cited as

a threat to its national security. this is really a pattern that we've seen from president couldn't, through the course of this conflict, which is manufacturing threats that don't exist in order to justify further aggression and the global community. and the american people should look at it through that prism. this is dangerous rhetoric, that's the reason why we are both provide support ukraine, but also why we all the last 2 weeks a months, i have a significant increase the presence of nato in the eastern part alliance. the you and other foreign powers are providing millions of euro's worth of military supplies to ukraine with the you saying it. so give 450000000 euros of weaponry. germany is sending a 1000 anti tank weapons and 500 stinger anti aircraft systems. while denmark has also announced plans to send anti tank weapons, sweden meanwhile is sending 5000 onto tank weapons as well as body armor. and over

a $100000.00 field russians, we heard from the human rights and labor lawyer done cover leak, who expressed concerns that nato has, in fact, little interest in resolving the conflict. i'm very concerned about that. i mean, so, 1st of all, let's face it, it seems to me that nato, and in particular, the united states did everything they could want to provoke this war to provoke russia into it, and to egg ukraine on, into acting in aggressive ways themselves. for example, with zalinski saying very recently that maybe she get nuclear weapons again, that's what i understand, may have tipped it. so in the meantime they provoked this, then when it happened, they basically stood back and watched it happen in ab and watching it happen. and now that they're entering piece talks, they're sending and lethal military 8. again, what's nato do to me this is only adding fuel to the fire. it does not contribute

to peace talks. and again, it's just or probably cake. well, that's all for this. all right, my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again in just over 30 minutes with all the latest updates on that ukraine crisis as well as possible. no get negotiations. thank you for watching. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk move when i would. so seemed wrong when i

just don't hold any you yes. to see proud disdain, because of the applicant, an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah ah, north atlantic alliance recognizance aircraft wash ships cruising close to russia's borders, have become commonplace along with military hardware redeployment and large scale exercises.
