the republic of them yet skis. very much in full swing. the city of mario paul, the heart of the as of sea and the bastion of ukrainian troops and nationalist battalions. it is nearly surrounded, caught between advancing troops of the nets, and russian units spreading out from crimea. ukrainian troops have fallen back and from a distance reeked destruction of villages and towns they once ruled. as you can hear from the sounds of thought hillary the battles he had just just west of than yet still still rage this used to be until hub week ago, a village well beyond the front lines, ukrainian positions. what but east of here to woods than if, when this, this battle but gotten the offensive. the ukrainian military abandoned their

positions there. they moved further eastwards, further towards kiev. and that is where they took up positions when the units of the din, yet people's republic began moving into here. they were met with a fire storm of artillery which, which devastated these village. there were many people here. they are now much fewer. we've heard about 3 people killed in their house, another family that burned up the barrage of shelves and rockets, artillery, sped, few houses and try as they might not. every one escaped the devastation. the tragedy here is that this mother and daughter they, they hid in the basement, right? rise outside the house, the shell impacted a little further away. right above the basement. the irony,

the tragic and sad irony here is that if they had said in the house they might have survived, it's a grizzly scene down there, full of full of blood images that we don't want to show you. only the father survived wounded amid the shilling he ran for help. well, blessed also though, when you are looking for a loaner style, simplest, a z brewster cook, jesus lee, what neopost the only i king and his mother last me. her i nearly booker, i nearly exotic a good was correct except bug. but a boy put valuable dominion la kill was you left? i'm sure. at least eugene was more num career fair. ah yes, bullshit, clover. thought kenneth blunt. i'm dead. yes. an artist. those 3 smugly, brazil 3 are sitting at the other double by the as the door will bertha

talk, which it is d that a nearby nikolai of car, which is much bigger. the onslaught was much the same here. terrified civilians, women, children, the elderly. how good down in the school basement, waiting for ukrainian military bombardment, the end here in a nearby nickaligha in a school basement on the ground. people are existing in these conditions in the cold without power, without heath this is all about survival. even though the front lines of have moved on their own, their leave for fear of yet more shelling, which is claim the lives of, of so many people already a do it those. this is tim, might they don't even let him bury a person normally any more they bear than by the front door like animals and not

crying for myself and crying for my grandson for my son. my son came out of the basement 3 days ago and still hasn't come back. my data shit and they're still shelling. of course, it's carrie, but i reassure myself that everything will be fine. they destroyed our houses. there are no windows in our house any more. as shells fell right here. now we have to rebuke and clean everything up. or just using the only issue that you're right now i'm sitting and thinking. if i leave hair, where will i go? no windows, no doors, everything is broken. i do not know where i should go now. oh yes, if you're not good, much go. my grand daughter has had a fever for 2 days. my house was destroyed. my husband was operated on, his leg was torn through by shell. on the outskirts one family apparently decided to brave the shelling at home. it would be their last decision. this

house sustained a direct impact shell, landed the middle of the house. you can perhaps see the remains of the house, the still smoldering was consumed everything including a family that was in the house at the time their remains have been buried, but we have been unable to verify how many people exactly died. dear. nevertheless, this she is being repeated across the dorm bus as fighting rages here. the ukrainian military retreats firing back, perhaps in revenge as they flee a 1st round of negotiations between russia and ukraine had concluded in belive, recently the cranium border with both sides sang. they presented their positions. parties, constantine, vouch comparables. while at this point are the main outcome of these talks,

is that the are these talks to place and the 2 sides agreed to continue dialogue. it's not much, but in something that creates room for cautious optimism. there's going to be a 2nd round, maybe it'll bear more results. but for now it's a wait and see approach. this is what the crane president vladimir alaska said about the rap top talks in belarus. we're going as they might or why we do not have the result. we would like to see what russia has stated, its position and we have voiced counter points to end the war. the worst day department sat it would discuss the 1st round of talks with the craniums. now the members of the russian delegation were also cautious. talking about the outcome of the meeting. the head of the russian delegation reported to vladimir potent yesterday, and the russian president already gave instructions so that the necessary war can be done before around 2. let's listen to what the russian delegation sat about their talks. social workers are going to go with negotiations with the ukranian side have concluded they lasted around 5 hours. during the talks, we went through all the details on the agenda,

found some points on which common positions can be foreseen, and most importantly agreed to continue the negotiation process. the next meeting will take place in the coming days on the polen, bella rouge border was the 2 sides. negotiate the military situation on the ground remains tense. key f accusers, russian troops of shelling residential areas in cities across ukraine. moscow says it's specifically instructed, it's military not to do so. russia's minutes, rev defense legged key for using civilians as a human shield by placing military hardware next to residential buildings, provoking the russian military to respond and hit these areas. at the same time, the shipment of lethal weapons, since a crane has reached alarming rates, you and nato countries and in thousands of anti tank and air systems as well as ammunition. there is also been a lot of talks about providing keys with fighter jets ukraine's ministry of defense at it's expecting up to 70 fighter jets from bulgaria. poland,

and slovakia bulgaria has already denied. but poland seems to be on board and could even provide its air fields for ukrainian pilots. grains authorities really use prisoners with a military background and handout weapons to civilians without any supervision. this has already resulted in the spike of street violence and looting according to russia's ministry of defense, gave of course, but to blame on russia for 4 days. but nonetheless, moscow thinks that sending more and more military equipment into crane in this situation is reckless. in other states ascending weapons to ukraine, as well as amunition and medical supplies. as the e u has added another 26 people to sanctions list and post against russia over the conflict. with more on that to his correspondent pizza. all of the european union has stepped up deliveries of lethal aid to ukraine following russia's invasion of the country. the high representative for foreign affairs of the european union. yo

separate al says that old member states need to step up and provide ukraine with what it needs. in this situation, no issue for further change in our forces is crucial. crucial. they need munitions, your new health care material. they need to defensive purpose arms of any kind and we're going to provide them together by with the member the stage germany provided its 1st delivery of weapons on monday that marked a major policy shift for berlin. they previously said that they wouldn't be sending weapons into the conflict the arrival of russian troops in ukraine. well, that changed everything as far as berlin was concerned. denmark has also sent deliveries as well. 2700 anti tank weapons have been sent from copenhagen, sweden as well, have been sending weapons neutral, sweden, it's worth pointing out,

5000 anti tank weapons coming from them, as well as field russians. health it's, and body armor of russia has been extremely critical of the actions over europe when it comes to these deliveries. now, the masks are off, the e. u is revealing his true self with the decision on february 27th to send lethal weapons to ukraine. this means the end of european integration as a passive his project to bring your p and nations together. after world war 2. the e. u has definitely taken the side of the cranium regime, which has committed genocide against part of its own population. the european union has also expanded its sanctions list against a number of russian figures. these include the ceos of energy companies and airlines, as well as government officials, including the kremlin spokesperson sanctions have taken a heavy toll on russia as economy causing the national rubel currency to plummet and stirring panic throughout the country. with russians queuing up

a cash machines to withdraw their savings. people are worried that the new western sanctions will trigger cash shortages and disrupt payments. and some russian banks are to be cut off from the swift global payment system and central bank assets to be frozen. the e u has also banned russian flies into its territory, exacerbating concerns about russia becoming isolated moscow's central bank has that tend to stop the flight of foreign capital abroad. more than that, from ortiz, it goes on off. first and foremost, latimer pooty signed a document according to which russian companies and russian nationals are no longer allowed to send the dollars and store them deposit them in for an account. so basically all foreign currency like dollars, for example, they have that has to stay in the side country and within the russian economy. on top of that, russian tax residents like companies that will receive some of the income in

dollars. they will have to sell 80 percent of that income and exchange it for roubles. this is done, of course, to support the russian national currency, which it was again, it was falling quite heavily. it, su, su, surpassed the $100.00 rubles per dollar mark. so it was worth less than a cents. in fact, one russian rouble was worth less than a cent, but following these measures, following the announcement of these measures, a kind of back tracked and recovered at least a little bit. and now it is. well, it's still, the official raid basically is not. it is, is not reaching just below, just under a 100 rubles per dollar on top of that, the bank of russia has higher massively, the key rates. so now it's 20 percent and that's a, that's more than double compared to what it was just yesterday. so that is done, of course, all suit to support to support the national currency. now, of course some russian, some big russian, you know, businessmen,

they have criticize this because of course, with this with, with the key rates. so high money is so expensive. borrowing money is so expensive for the companies. well, but weld the russian government says it has to be done. but again, unfortunately for the russian economy, the west is saying that, well, this could be that there's more where that came from. so they might impose more sanctions and they have this intention. germany's largest operator of energy no work has rejected demands to shut down the nordstrom one gas pipeline, have sanctions against russia over the conflict in ukraine. local media have reported that the operator, germany eel, has refused to suspend the pipeline as poland has demanded. the newly built nordstrom two's certificate process remains frozen. on report to the states that stopping the pipeline would have serious economic consequences, as it has accounted for 37 percent of the total natural gas imported in germany by russia in 2011. when, meanwhile,

the sanctions against russia have cause to dip in other european markets with financial institutions bearing the brunt of this, the pan europeans. the u. k. stock indices have fallen by more than one percent with french and german stock, giving up about 3 percent reduction. meanwhile, crude oil prices have increased about 5 percent major investment firm goldman sachs expects overall price inflation in europe to reach 5 percent this year. we heard from former austrian top diplomat carrying kenesaw and economist, ica, hama you have expressed concerns about the sanctions. repercussions on the market. prices went up because the market was habits tread relevant. one, the rule, if you come up with a strategic commodity flag on yes. and so the price hikes there, this heat, inflation discuss about the purchase power of people if no natural gas is drunk or

to sue the existing more stream 1st than 2nd cube. when this will have an impact even more to the plane, the heating season is nearly over. we close the spring, but let us recall the gas. it's not only for heating, it's really over for production of electricity. so if you take all the sanctions who they set into place, it means that germany is paying a higher price for its gas. and it's or, and everything, and ross, i can sell the gas and the, or wherever they want in the world. in china, i mean, yeah, everybody takes it so it doesn't hurt russia primary, primary germany. and this is what we see all the time already. the only thing is that the americans wanted to prohibit the europeans to look eastward toward russia . they don't want the europeans to work together with russia because it would make them independent on raw materials from outside the us as expelled 12,

a russia un diplomatic saying there are threats to national security. but most cases that violation of the us agreement to host the you and then just to i think, a reciprocal response again another, another demonstration of food grows disrespectful the coast company agreement to the, to the commitments as i said to them within the framework of the overall legation on the boss on the un charter because country agreement, anviana conventions overseas. now that's a big announcement and it raises questions about the u. n. treating and the united states obligation to enable member states to maintain their staff even countries. the usa has no diplomatic relations with countries like north korea, countries like that, as well. at this point, have the right to maintain a un mission as a un member state, but it appears 12 un staffers to 12 staffers of russia's un mission are being asked to leave the country. now that came during the press conference that we heard from

russian ambassador na, benzene, he's the permanent representative of russia to the united nations. then he took questions from reporters, and he made a lot of very important points. how can you say that there are nazis and ukraine when the ukranian president is jewish, to which the russian ambassador pointed out that new ukrainian president doesn't seem to have the real power in the country. he took power on a platform of peace and bringing the country back together. however, at this point at new ukrainian president, he has proved himself a, he's proved himself to be weak and have no real power. she demonstrated that his weak, that he has no political will and following the circumstances, he found himself him to resist of 2 reasons. those radicals who, who are the main, the main political, the driving force in current in the 2 days you, you claim

a went on when confronted with allegations or that that russia had bomb civilian areas. he told other reporters asking those questions to verify the reports because there's quite a bit of a fake news going around. and there's quite a few videos videos that have come from places like syria or libya videos from even video games that are being circulated and claimed and passed off as showing russian atrocities the ide states and its allies put forward a, a resolution before the un general assembly to condemn russia after that, we then heard from, from the representative of ukraine a who thundered and made heated allegations against russia compared to world war 2, et cetera. this is what we heard from the un representative of ukraine when he spoke of the general assembly hall. deadlier strikes dropped on civilians, parents across the entire country, and the russian troops crossed through cranes borders from the territory of russia, billows, and they occupied bars. so ukraine's dunbar and creamier does it remind you of something, doesn't it?

now it's also important to note that in the un general assembly hall and a benzo, the russian ambassador had the opportunity to descend some of these allegations. he got up and he talked about the need for negotiations. he talked about how this resolution that was put forward was not a pro ukrainian resolution, as it does not put any blame on the forces that instigated this conflict with their shelling and attacks on don atkin, lugens, and all as well as that. you know, their continued escalation threats of ukraine to join nato piling, lethal weapons into grain. and from there he talked about the need to not believe everything circulating throughout mainstream media. this is what the benzine said when speaking to the un general assembly hall music suitable movement. but him would you look 1st of all direct dialogue between key of and the don't bass was needed. however, this been get more confirmation by the countries leadership that ukraine is not ready for such dialogue for taking steps to grant don bass special status as

provided full by the men's agreements in the, in this convinced us that we simply have no right to make the residence of don bass suffer further. now the and general assembly includes all member states. it's not simply the members represented on the security council. and it's worth noting that a number of un member states have granted recognition to the don at people's republic and the guns people's republic. and it appears that while there was a lot of podium pounding from the united states and its allies, this meeting of the general assembly did not really accomplish anything. this was a lot of smoke and mirrors and theatrics by allies of the united states in their efforts to demonize russia and obscure the real roots of the conflict. mainstream media coverage of the situation has shifted to the angle that the ukraine is not iraq, afghanistan, because this conflict is now in europe. and i am not talking about serial or

fleeing the sod regime supported by vladimir putin. i am talking about european. this isn't a place with all due respect, you know, like iraq or afghanistan, european people with blue eyes and blue here being here, children new killed every day. this is not a developing birdwell nation. your we heard from political analysts done. journalist daniel is our, he says russia is now facing the same allegations that the u. s. s. face in his conflicts in recent decades. the implication is that it's ok and far off, there are world countries that were free to bomb them as much as they want because they don't have blue eyes and blond hair. i mean it's, it's appalling. the american journalists enjoy the show that it was great fun. there was a wonderful display of us fire power. now it's now it's not so much fun because the fire power is being directed at a us our, i don't support this invasion. let me make that perfectly clear. but nonetheless,

the us and nato. that's the theme, you know. so shaka, not a lot of fun as long as you are not the one being shocked and awed, but when you are on the receiving end, this terrible really western hypocrisy. well, we also got comments from my veteran gym and politician who stays media out this. i choosing sides and even exacerbating the tensions amid the conflicts. he believes there should be a return to objective journalism ethics, dutch, aside from common seduction site and came out last weekend with the front page article about the enigma. there are 3 pages inside with pure regression, even on the children's page. i put in this picture there and it says, does he want war? and underneath it says, for weeks put has been sending tanks and soldiers to the border with ukraine. the world is worried. that's what they're putting our children through. there, you can see what all this agitation looks like. it's no longer controllable journalists obviously are controlling themselves anymore. there's something i couldn't imagine. and i lived through the cold war in the fifty's. i live through

and participate in the debt on policy, and we have fallen over in a corner in the sixty's if there had been such an awful media as the one there is today. back tends towards the side to help to make the detox policy. they knew how important was for germany to have peace, and they supported such things today. they're stirring things up. well, the back of this very short break. stay with us. ah, ah, ah. ah,

ah. herman died, rumor shaped bankers are those with who dares sinks? we dare to ask ah oh,

welcome back. no fighting continues across ukraine as the russian military operation enters its 6th day. video posted on social media shows cars that destroyed and here on the almost empty streets of the cap is element warnings of escalating crime in the city. as the government is said to be handing out guns to civilians, the russian military is calling for residence to leave kia via desi native rude heading. southwest is video shows smoke over ukraine, 2nd largest city hall, called with a massive explosion, reportedly caused by a project charlie, the city center near the regional administration. building local authorities are blaming russia. but media report say they were no russian forces in the area where projects, how reported became from waiting for comments from the russian military officials, his other footage from the city and the warning you might find it. disturbing. explosions have been reported in the city also on monday with locals filling huge
