ah ah hello, good evening, you're watching a r t international. the un general assembly is underway in new york, and the russian ambassador is talking right now lies at the feet of the current ukrainian leadership as well as our western colleagues. to day it today. we wish to emphasize that that to this is been inflated by the lie, the seat miss information from the ukranian armed forces and the nationalists, western media outlets increasingly shamelessly are portrayed in our military operation as a result. as a negative consequence, we constantly hear lies fakes about indiscriminate shelling of ukrainian cities.

hospitals. the schools kindergarten to the russian army does not pose a threat to the civilians of ukraine, which is not shelling civilian areas in areas and cities where a russian armed forces have taken control. and these areas are seeing buses in a living their lives normally. basic infrastructure, transportation, local info, infrastructure, and lauren order's being held. venice includes the pal, electrical station, the power plant, which is jointly care patrolled by russian representatives and the special ukrainian police who are present in the area. the chernobyl plant is also operating normally the threat to the residence of ukraine presently is post by the ukranian nationalists, who have effectively taken hostage to the residence of ukraine. and they are using them, their hiding cells behind them and using them as human shields. there's a abundant evidence from ordinary ukrainian, the nationalist, despite their protest to have been employing heavy equipment and multiple rocket

launchers in residential areas. this is an egregious violation of international humanitarian law which needs to be duly condemned effectively. this is the same tactic that is being used by iso terrorist, all of the responsibility for the possible recovery cautions for the lies at the feet of the my don regime. the residence of ukraine are also threatened by the unfettered, uncontrolled, a radical elements giving to all those who wish, including criminals was specifically been released in prison. they are now receiving weapons and the looters, m. r, a doors and criminals and are using them to target civilians. that there is sufficient an abundance of evidence for of this from residence of key of in other cities. this demonstrates the recklessness of ukraine authority to be their women. just now we received a letter from the ukrainian of human rights, civic organizations, a social policy and social protection institute. and the name of the nina british neu bid is not for 8 years. and this body has been informing international

instructions about how the new naziism was born and proliferated in ukraine and how it has been and continues to we have held at the state level. i briefly quote, today he's been up the apogee of the recklessness and lawlessness of neo nazis in ukraine. was that condemned criminals have been released from prison. they have carried out a grave crimes murders, et cetera, only in key of those who are willing received 25000 machine guns without any documentation. killings, looting, crime is ongoing. those go through of so called territorial defenders of you, of the ukraine. a shot at a car, killing it, killing parents, and a girl. a young girl, 2 children are in hospital, critically wounded, the former, acting up president and following the unconstitutional. cool. in february 2014,

13 of called on all the citizens who are not indifferent to, to so lot her russians throughout the territory of the country. and this, despite the fact that to the most recent course, but a documentary crane of 2019 is to sets out that 16 almost 17 percent. and actually far more people are russian. they're now against the russian federation. in social networks and information war has been unleashed in so far as evidence of destruction of civilian infrastructure. a by a russian military does not exist. ukrainian attacks and, and accidental attacks over a board bear out the fact that ukrainian nationalists are carrying out this biling social networks, have training manuals about how to create fakes to taint our military operation throughout ukrainian social networks. there 1200000 such pieces of fake

news and the correspondence that was read out by the ukrainian ambassador. oh that, that, that, that part, that conversation that was read out is also part of these. maxine, this is these fake said this is well known. we also did not support the draft resolution for this issue to move from the security council and debbie addressed by the general assembly special session. today we are guided by the fact that this measure proposes that we register that the security council failed to comply to uphold its main responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. and at the same time, there was not even a human hint at an attempt to find a constructive solution athletic council attempts to circumvent the position of the russian federation to disregard. the position of the russian federation runs counter to the very bad rock of the united nations. there's a need to find common ground regardless of our western partners, attempted to avoid this, including when they disregarded our legitimate concerns in connection with nato

policy and western countries. breach of the core principles of the o. s. c. e. on in the visibility of security. to conclude mister president, i wish to state that the russian federation did not begin these hostilities. the hostilities that were unleashed by ukraine against its own residence, the residence of dunbar, and all of those who are dis, centers in russia is seeking to end this war. thank you. i don't the distinguished representative of the russian federation. ok, we're just listening there to the russian envoy to the you and the city in the men's ear speaking at the un general assembly, an emergency meeting of that has been called to discuss the situation in ukraine. he was very critical of what he said was a fake news brumley. he says in west the media of indiscriminate russian shelling and he said that russia categorically does not target civilians. he also said that

ukrainian nationalists are using civilians. he says, as human shields, those were his claims and he said that that needs to be condemned. he ended thereby saying, in his opinion, the hostilities were unleashed by ukrainians against russian citizens. russia is trying to stop that war. that's the summary of what we've just heard. there from the russian envoy to us. now, diplomatic talks on resolving the conflict in ukraine are under way with the ukranian delegation having arrived at the board with batteries to meet russian officials, keith is said, is seeking an immediate cease fire. and the withdrawal of russian forces, while the leader of the russian delegation has expressed concerns about the talks hadn't been early postponed, saying that such delays, he said, could have cost lives in conflict areas. well, with more details is constantine. rosh coffee sent this report from the beller

russian gama region. the meeting has been held behind closed doors sun. we were only able to see the 2 sides walking into the room and sitting face to face around the table. no opening remarks were made for the media, but were expecting to learn about the outcome of this meeting by the state statements that we expect the 2 sides will make after this meeting is over. of course, the main question is whether this a summit will yield any tangible results. expectations have been really long and judging by the public statements of the 2 sides, their positions are remain far apart. the office of the training presidents that earlier this morning that the countries main goal in the negotiations with moscow is an immediate cease fire and withdrawal of russian troops. some members of the ukrainian delegation also tried to act as if they have an upper hand in the upcoming talks because as they put it, their country has been successfully repelling the russian offensive. this also

echoed in the latest address made by the crowning president, but lateral zelinski also had to admit that his country has been forced to reserve to desperate measures. he mentioned that he is going to release all prisoners from jail. so those prisoners who have military background now, moscow has an absolutely different perspective on its military campaign. russia's military officials claimed that keith is losing control over swathes of its territory, that ukrainian troops are either treating or get in circles and a spokesman for rushes, ministry of defense said that he trains authorities dash for it as they have been handing out firearms to civilians. which lead to quote unquote, looting, gangs rampaging through the ukrainian capital. so quite a contrast between the 2 sides perspectives, but of course that's why these talks are so important because there is a chance to stop hostilities and blah now there has been fierce fighting in the

train, 2nd city half cove on day 5 of the conflict to large explosion has been reported in the area with low consuming change plumes of smoke, amid what they describe is ongoing battles. and next we will show you another video from ukraine. the 2nd 50 words warning, though, you may find it disturbing because miss sellers are hating residential areas. russia says it is completely avoiding such things and claims that ukraine is putting forces in residential buildings and using civilians as human shields that they were something that key strongly denies. now a lead should artillery. shelling near shopping center has been reported in a northern part of the city claimed to have come from a nearby residential building. this map shows what is happening further east, the red dots highlight the cities where the russian army is currently fighting with the ukrainian army. and national formations,

the russian defense ministry says that against militia have retaken territory from the ukrainian army, 60 kilometers beyond the previous front line. while then, yes, the forces have reportedly advanced some 21 kilometers marquee have accuses moscow of aggression and says around 5000 russian soldiers have been killed in recent days with 30 russian planes. and helicopters shot down and about $200.00 tanks destroyed moscow. their refutes, though use claims, although hasn't disclosed concrete figures and says he's been making major advances against the training military. now in the capital kia, these are on verified imaging, showing defense systems actively operating kiev authority say the city was surrounded. but then back down from that claim. and they now say that groups of russian saboteurs is trying to bring chaos to the streets. although that is denied by russia's military mission, as flooded with armed gangs of looters robbers and radical nationalists,

they were given guns in an unlawful decision by the authorities to hand out lethal weapons to any one without checking. i am addressing all residents of g f. everyone can leave the capital freely by a designated road. this road is open and safe. i want to emphasize once again, the russian army is attacking only military targets. the civilian population is not under threat. now you can see the tell you dumbass republics recently recognized by russia is independent countries. red dot sir, locations here that russia's military with troops, ogden, yet can against troops is currently fighting for so as you can see, there are numerous battles for times throughout those 2 don bass regions. and then i wish that don't bass front lines. this video proportionally shows an explosion near the se, in cities matter, you pull the target, which is still unclaimed. we're still trying to confirm what has happened in that area. my residence of east in ye crying liberated by the current operation,

say that they may finally see their families after a is a full and never want to go back to the crenan rule. this is that, have a bunch, come out with a list of look at the learn you. you get the example when you come near to the go to the i deal with proper you had and i'm waiting. you, you you train troops. i believe to have been surrounded me more by russian army forces, navy se in city of matthew po,

reporting on this. and other developments on the front line. his more at gast yes. what we are hearing is that the city of mario pl, which is ukraine's largest boat a 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, 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 the 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 mines, for example, to, to surprise that the devastated 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 fun, directed fire into 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

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 trying 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 mud as 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 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 vehicle. 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 of the majority from what we understand of ukraine samples has been destroyed many huh. before being able to take off many jets, many helicopters before being able to take off in stripes directed at airports and as heals and hangers, and other objects belonging assets belonging to the ukrainian 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, r. p g's 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 that, that the boxes and, 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 it is making all efforts to avoid civilian casualties, which, which includes a bad on bombing blog to looting a rocket to missiles at indiscriminately at cities and trying to keep all stripes procedure, stripes 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. when it says the net scan against troops to advance,

many of those soldiers do now have an opportunity to see loved ones. one of them is, is alexis a daughter of who managed to see his parents the 1st time after years of being separated by the conflict with . ready you know, mom, you have a couple students over some of the of a fortune a now the russian and french presidents have held a serious and thorough conversation on the situation in ukraine according to the kremlin. but it does come as the pressure grows for more sanctions on moscow. so

let's get more in the snack across. i like to paris speaking, charlotte kapinsky. he's across this for sir. charlotte. good evening, tejas. what more then can you tell us about what was said? well we know that the use of burrell, this is the high representative for the e. u has been outlining details this afternoon in a press conference saying that the you need to spend more money on defense and it needs to spend that money better. he said, this isn't just about supporting ukraine at the moment, but this is also about the stability of the world. now he also talked about the sanctions, which we've discussed over the last few years that have been labeled against russia . and there is a suggestion that even more sanctions to come, but he warned that while the sanctions are costing having a high impact on the russian economy, they will also have an impact here in the e u. but he said it was better that that price was paid now than paying

a bigger price in the future. and he said the ear needs to fight what he called the aggression coming from the put in regime. now switzerland, meanwhile, has also aligned with the you and it comes to these sanctions. it says it's going to freeze the assets of individuals and companies. and that includes president putin and his foreign minister circ a lover of now joseph burrell. c said that he welcomed that decision by the swiss, who are normally neutral in all situations. and he said that this showed solidarity with ukraine. the grease good as to run as far as i know, the swiss government has decided to alliance fully with european sanction, to exact the same things as we doing, which is great. perfect bad news for russia. no use of brawl went on to say that they would be a hiking sanctions, including against countries like belarus. and he said that there would be warning

for any country that decided to side with putin in this war that's happening in ukraine. now in the mean time, and you mentioned that president michael france is haven't had discussions once again at with his russian counterpart. we understand from the eliza palace, the president, mac on urged president putin to stop any bombings, any strikes against civilian areas. and also says that president putin are promised to preserve civilians in ukraine. we've since heard from the kremlin about that call, or who has as said that president putin said russia is open to talks in the mean time or a very different story. but still on, at this situation in ukraine as a sailor, in the spanish island of my lucca, who is ukranian, has been arrested by the authorities there after he attempted to apparently sink

the super yacht over russian ali ark, this is a russian ali arc. alexander meek, if i, who is the owner of a russian arms exporter. apparently this ukrainian sale had been working as a mechanic on the c p out for about 10 years, but decided to try and sink it in an attempt to have revenge for what's happening in care of at the moment. okay, thank you for that update. charlotte, there is arte shot at the bins. give me can discuss a bit of that a bit further too, because we can talk to anthony webber. he's a political commentator based in the u. k. and thanks for coming on to me, let's just start with what the eu has said about the sanctions. it's putting on russia because it has admitted that sanctions on russia will also affect you. but it is a price worth paying. what's your response to that? well, i think the year being,

being had to be irresponsible with our actions because they're not looking at our issue piece and how people are going to be affected. and what we want to patient aspire. so you don't be opposite tab a lot of the strong and the the member is to create instability and then security and the credit reach. i'm actually in charge. the 2nd chinese, i'm the west and we've had a situation recently ready for the the as amazing rate decided to spend 500000000 the year is on funding weapons to go to you trying. now, you can see results in increasing the thing my son

anthony, as you, as you, as you know, the argument is that they have to take these actions to stop russian aggression. last to be a very, very firm stance. now, that's what they're saying. and obviously that comes in the form of more military weapons. they say that military, a defensive weapons to, to ukraine. and we see these sanctions on russia when you hear that argument, they feel that, that is a perfect reason to do what they're doing. and now i don't grade because just to saw with be years, never given the military residency and the con shane, any conflict, but also the she tell about resistance in weapons . i mean, i haven't made anywhere. this is very selective and it appears to be helping invested in fast. but we need to look at the position. we need to settle down to

the arguments and they all have been sick. why? a trick i see really russia is we're concerned about is ability, security and yard. and if you're trying request to be a member, which they did all actually happen miss night conflicts and the area because i don't think if you look at the situation, there's many, many russians ends running the 18 percent of population as long point 9000000 russia being nice sort of being with the shelf, and he is done. phone fights outside, so it's faithful with vested sense of encouraging this,

this, this slide chicken, the deepness or loss of law age. and one of each look. oh, i'm indeed the world said yes. okay. so it's so that it already is the we've had major wise and it's hard to say more than double and not going to anthony. we're going to have to leave that because we're running out of time on this occasion. but we appreciate your thoughts. seeing that was a political commentator anthony rather, thank you. thank you, andrew ricky. now i'm at the sanctions in a slump in the value of the ruble. russia has moved to stop the exodus of foreign capital from the country and we can talk about this further. got you go don, off in the studio a good evening ego. just run through them because it's been a heroic day for russia's economy. what's been the government's response?

well, absolutely, andy, by far you're absolutely right. it has been the most difficult day for the russian economy. in the past, well, in decades, really, the rubel has plummeted. so the government and president vladimir putin, they had no other choice, but to react to these all these batches of sanctions that have been imposed by the west lately. and so let me put you called a meeting between like the top, the top government official is the prime minister, the finance minister, the head of the central bank. and so the all will came up with certain will certain plans as to how the russian economy can be helped, and bladder my food. lately, he has signed the document according to which all tax residents of russia, including companies and including private citizens, basically they no longer, they are no longer allowed to put them, you know, to put their foreign currency earnings to put basically dollars onto for an account . so basically if they receive something, if they receive, if they basically get

a profit, if they profit in dollars or in euro's and so on, then this money stays in the country. and again, this is, this measure has been required due to a, an unprecedented what has been called an unprecedented exodus of foreign capital from the country. and during that meeting, vladimir putin essentially said that the russia has to react, have listened to get to the prime minister mikhail michigan. and i discussed this topic naturally bearing in mind the sanctions that the so called western community as i called it in my address the empire of lives is now trying to implement against our country. so, so the empire of allies, this is the wording that plasma potent chose to describe the well collective west and this decision of this document it is far from it's only one machine produced by vladimir putin. other government institutions have also moved, for example,

have also moved to alleviate some of the suffering of the russian economy and the ruble. for example, the central bank has hiked its key rate to 20 percent. that that is more than double than what it was before. so this, well, after this was done, the russian rubel at kind of showed a bit of a slight recovery because it did go over a 100 rubles per dollar. so it was, it was, it wasn't even worth one cent of an american dollar. now it is slightly below that it is that according to the official raid by the central bank and also it announced a whole slew of measures that will help banks. those that have been the sanction that those have that have been cut off from the swift system and so on and so forth . so right now it is the 1st such is the 1st step that russia is making to help. it's.
