ah you're watching the international moneys pizza scott on wherever you joining us from. welcome to the program. as the russian military operation, ukraine, and this 5th day. these are the latest developments. mm. videos about what appears to be a missile attack are coming from the south of ukraine, where locals are reporting ongoing fighting. this video purportedly shows an apartment building allegedly heads by an overnights rocket attack in northern ukraine. the lower floors were damaged where a fire ruptured repose, say one woman was injured, but the blaze has now been extinguished. let's have a look at this map are marked in red and blue. are the 2 don bus republics which

were recently recognized by russia. the russian defense ministry states that lou guns militia re taken territory from the ukrainian army or 60 kilometers beyond the previous front line. while the nears forces have reportedly advanced by 21 kilometers, and zooming out to ukraine, those dots of the cities that russia's military claims to be the seized ought to be currently fighting for. ukraine's military says that more than 5000 russian soldiers have been killed in recent days with 30 russian planes, and helicopters shot down and about 200 thanks, destroyed. now russia refutes those claims without disclosing concrete figures and says he's been making major advances against the ukrainian military diplomatic talks on resolving the conflict. are expected to begin any moment. now that says the ukranian delegation has arrived at the board with bella bruce to meet with russian officials. giver said is seeking an immediate seafront ceasefire, and the withdrawal of russian forces are

t correspondence. constantino's coff has the latest costio, joiners live now from bella roost with news about those negotiations. what are the latest developments? hello peter, while of course are all eyes are on the upcoming talks between russia and ukraine. and we're expecting them to start shortly. maybe within the next hour or so, we've already seen the footage of the craniums arriving at the place where the talks were going to be held on to helicopters. although it didn't seem like the training delegation was looking to start working as soon as possible. aah! did several sources close to the housing side for the bell russians. i said that the, the trainees wanted to get some shot. i get some rest of before long journey that they took go when from now ukraine, 1st to pull it, and then to bell or rou. so we also know that the russian delegation has been at the place at this government or residence where the talks are going to be held up

for a couple of hours. and, ah, we can provide you with the full statement of the had of the russian delegation in these talks. ah, since we arrived here last night at a place agreed upon by the ukrainian side near the border with ukraine. we stayed up all night waiting for the ukrainian delegation to arrive. unfortunately, they have very complicated logistics for their arrival time was postponed several times during the night and only now we've received information that they'll arrive in about an hour or so at noon. we should start the negotiations just while 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 their positions are far apart? for instance, your brains, foreign minister, collab. i said that these talks are not going to be about surrender, and that key if quote, unquote, won't give up its land. the office of the cranium president has just said that ukraine's main goal in this negotiations with moscow is

a cease fire and withdraw all of all russian troops from ukraine. so all in all members of the cranium delegation, they try to show that they have an upper hand in this upcoming talks. because as they put it, they've been successfully repelling the russian offensive in ukraine. now let's have a listen to what of latimer zalinski. the prince president sat about this talks where you have 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 was president, did not try to stop the war when that was at least a sole chance, but to chance nonetheless, then i've been a while moscow has an absolutely different perspective on this. russia's military officials claimed that key of his losing control over swathes of its territory is that ukrainian troops are either retreating or getting circled russia. the ministry

of defense spokesmen said that the, for any of the doroty is, are resorting to desperate measures heading out firearms to civilians which lead to, quote unquote, looting gains running rampant through the ukraine's capital. so that was the head of the russian. a delegation ladder, millions it has told that each hour just brings more casualties and more damage to the training armed forces to the civilians. and it's in keeps fast interest. you a lay down their arms and engage in dialogue. constant scenes. thank you very much for that. day thought the corresponding constantino's called reporting life from the gulf region, the bellows. now, while russian and ukrainian official seats and the conflicts, the you and the foreign powers are providing hundreds of millions of euros with a military supplies to ukraine. with the you saying it, so give 450000000 years worth of weaponry. germany is sending

a 1000 nancy tank weapons of 500 sting and see aircraft systems while denmark is also announced. plans to send on to tank weapons. sweden, meanwhile, is sending 5000 anti tank weapons as well as body armor and over 100000 field russians. our guests expressed concerns that nato has little interest in actually resolving this 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 watching and happen. and now

that they're entering piece talks, they're sending and lethal military 8 again, what's nato due to me? this is only adding fuel to the fire. it does not contribute to peace talks. and again, it's just more provocation. the aggression has been ramped up and nato contains to say, we are not a threat to russia. well, in the meantime, they're providing billions of dollars with the u. s. together billions of dollars in weapons for ukraine to kill russians. so here's a real proxy war going on here between the u. s. e u and russia ukrainians are in the middle. they're the ones that are the ones getting shot on. they're fighting and dying for the us, not for their own independence. united nations security council as cold or emergency meeting to focus on the situation in ukraine with the u. s. on his western allies. seekins isolates moscow. russia recently used his veto as

a permanent member of the council to cancel a resolution against moscow. while china, india and the united arab emirates all abstained on new york correspond kellum open 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 de escalation, they urged dialogue. china supports and encourages or diplomatic efforts conducive to a peaceful settlement of the ukraine crisis. and welcomes the earliest possible direct dialogue and egos, nations 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 in a band via was fake news than the fact that there are videos circulating throughout the internet that report to be from ukraine, showing russian atrocities. when in reality, some of them in been filmed in libya,

some of them been filmed in syria. some of them have even been filmed, come from video games in the 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 to the crimes perpetrated by the ukrainian nationalist 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 ads, the people's republic of lugens and what they've been enduring, the shelling the food blockades, the dan 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 seemed like everyone wanted the conflict to come to an end. everyone wanted their 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. can stone from the harmon hamilton coalition to stop the war? says western media outlets have not sufficiently conveyed the suffering that the people of the dom bus have enjoyed for years in the conflict with the ukrainian military. for one thing, people in the west,

i have no idea generally about what was going on, the war against the people of the don bass region. it was hidden from them, hidden from them by the mainstream media here. but hopefully they'll now learn that out. the cool that was sponsored by the usa in ukraine in 2014, brought in a government, they proceeded to take away the autonomy and language and cultural rights of the russian. speaking minority in the don bass region in the east of ukraine, there was an uprising, and the government was so wage a war against a russian speaking people in the dark bass, which was right on russia's doorstep. and 15000 people died and tens of thousands were made homeless and had to become refugees. this is not known. this is not well known at all in the west. and over now to the don bus front lines where

this video purportedly shows an explosion near the south eastern city of mario pal and targets of which is still unclear. but we are working to confirm what is happening in that area. meanwhile, forces of the done yes, unless guns republics are advancing westwards with ukrainian troops reportedly in retreats among the liberated areas. is the village of nikolai africa, where an elderly woman said she'd narrowly escaped shelly with all the might ukrainian troops are believed to have been surrounded by russian army forces near the se, in city of mario pl reporting on this. and other developments on the front line, his correspondent broadcast df. what we are hearing is that the city of mary opal,

which is ukraine's largest, bought a ease ease. 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, 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 a mind. we have received reports from the city of dance, which is a half way between the crimea and mario ball, which is at the axis of russian advance, which is a,

which is where you credit units have planted in the city itself and in the outskirts minds for example, to, to surprise that to devastate advancing force as it is very difficult to reach mario below the vicinity of mary opal. at this point, they have been, according to reports, more than a dozen civilian casualties. here in the city of the near victims of fun, directed, find and the neighbourhood civilian neighbourhood, spare places, wet weather, apartment buildings, and, and other houses. we have seen, 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 so far it 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. they have tried to fly to agree try to negotiate with russian forces about responsibilities, for example, about joint patrols with police being with police being kept up to speed and allowed to do the job to prevent looting. for example, to prevent crime murders from taking place in the aisle key that his cellphone 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 residents. 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 it. 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 and hangers, and other objects belonging assets belonging to the ukranian air force via west bank of the west bank of kia is also said to be under the control of the russian military. viv could the situation and care fees of course. desperate made much more so afterthought. is there boosted that they had handed out almost 30030000 assault rifles. 10000000 rounds of ammunition are 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, to boxes and trucks picking up guns by the doesn't and, and leaving,

which has resulted in the has, 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 that he's making all efforts to avoid civilian casualties, which, which includes a bad on bombing blog polluting, or rockets, missiles at indiscriminately at cities and trying to keep all stripes procedure 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 to surrender, that they will be treated with respect and allowed to return to their families. as done. yes. can look guns, troops advance many of those. so just now have the opportunity to be reunited with loved ones. one of them is alex, a cedar of who managed to see his parents for the 1st time after years have been

separated by the conflict with with no mom i this is a fortune here, a here foreign policy officials have agreed to provide lethal weapons with 450000000 euros to ukraine with policy direct. your said burrell saying the book will freeze a substantial amount of russia's financial reserves. reporting on those latest you measures his correspondent peter all over. well, these are some of the most forcefully u sanctions that we've seen so far. we heard from the

e u commission president earth lafond ally and he said that there would be some potential economic blow back on you repeat 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. we heard from yoseph burrell, who's the, you hi, representative for foreign affairs, pretty much the european union, foreign minister. and he said that it wouldn't involve old russian bank slow to disconnect the financial system of a country, which is a strongly interrelated with other countries. another economies cannot be done late this with the 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 by warning, these degree of disconnection. s 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 u. s. face. and a comprehensive move from the block. we are shutting down the e u. air space for russians. we're proposing a prohibition on all russian own 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 sputnik 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 spun nick, broadcasting into the p and union. you would say you scott, him know the e u that for years has been telling 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. the e. u 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. the you have promised more sanctions, while russian troops remain in ukraine, would be looking to see what form they will take. of political experts, john laughlin to express concerns about the e u binding r. c said it would raise a disturbing precedent for freedom of speech. what's wrong with it is that it's totalitarian. 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. that one forces them to watch them. it is a measure that she is announced which drastically reduces the liberties of you citizens. and i'm sure it doesn't make a slightest bit of difference to russia. but it does make

a difference to people who want to watch r t and sputnik. and i mean, we got used to, to tell attorneys and for 2 years now with all the cobit madness. but this is, this is, 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 that has the authority, by the way, as far as i know, to close as 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 all right. you mentioned just now in your report from london about the seizure of assets belonging to rationale, goths in london. well, what happened to due process? what happened to property rights? 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 pull the alarm bell on this and say that these kinds of

measures undermine the very thing which the british government, another european governments claim to be standing full, namely the rule of law and democracy. russia's rubel currency has punished about 30 percent in recent days as us under the western powers, impose a harsh functions over the ukraine conflict. some russian bunks have been excluded from the swift international banking system, a journeyman. now in the studio, his art correspondents, eager to dawn of eager like many people today i woke up this morning, check the news to find that the rubel had had plummets. i guess it's fair to say that it's been a k k off on the market for the moment. well, it is quite bad because over the weekend we saw some of the most hard heating sanctions imposed by the west. and of course, over the weekend, there were, there was no trade. so our so the ruble didn't really didn't really move anywhere. so everybody waited for monday. and of course, pretty much everyone anticipated for rubel for the rubel to go down. because again,

a batch of russian banks, including the largest one, has been cut off from the swift system, also personal sanctions against boot and the war is not over. i mean, of course, we are expecting for the talks between russia and ukraine to start shortly. but there's no guarantees that they will yield any results. so for the russian currency, it has been a difficult day. it is over a 100 russian roubles as of now, per dollar, just to put it in context before the war broke out. it was just about above 70. so again, i mean, ruble is not the most popular currency in the world, but to give you perspective as to how much it has fallen from 76 to over a 100. so it is a so it is a significant dive. and again, the situation right now is quite hectic because for example, on the russian currency exchange, it's one rate on the london currency exchange. it's another rate. and for example, if i was to go to a bank and try to get some dollars, that would be a 3rd rates,

and that would be the most well the, it would be the worst rate because banks they are, well, they're kind of, i mean, they've already been ahead by sanctions, so they ask way more for 1 dollar than it is then you can get on the well on the exchange. so there's that also the moscow stock market is still to open. it is unclear whether or not it will open at all in london. some, some russian stocks have lost more than 50 percent in value. so, i mean, it is so far the worst day for the russian economy since the beginning of the operation and ukraine. but again, the russian government remains defined and the russian key monetary institution, the central bank of russia, has already begun to, well to take some steps towards, well do towards helping the economy announcing and well an era of measures helping

out banks and helping out the economy. in general, so we'll have to see where, where it goes, we'll have to see how much ruble will, how much of a hit it will take in the future. whether or not the stock market will open. and of course, if it does, it will go in the read very, very quickly. that mean there's no, there's no doubt about that. and of course, the thing to watch right now is how will, how the talks between russia and ukraine fair and whether or not anything can be yielded from that. i guess it's of time for invest a moment and we can't rule out more volatility to come. thank you very much. i'll update eager. well, that's all for now. my name is peter scott and i'll be back again at the top of the hour with all the latest developments on not crisis in ukraine. thank you for watching. oh

oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to somewhere? direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows.
