but since the beginning of its special operation, ukraine. moscow has always been stressing that russia has no plans of occupying ukraine and has no plans to target residential areas or affect our ordinary people, innocence, civilian population. but still, it's clear that people are afraid, and we now hear from you, and they say that around 4000000 people have possibly already left ukraine without his fighting continues across ukraine on day 6 of the russian military intervention. this map shows what's been happening with the red dots highlighting the major cities where fighting has been reported versus defense ministry claims. de la guns. people's militia has advanced against ukrainian army by another 3 kilometers beyond one day's front line. as for the nearest forces, they reportedly advanced 16 kilometers beyond previous front lines. and this is the

latest footage we're getting from the dumbass region. amid the apparent shelling by the ukranian army, miss alice destroyed cars and residential buildings in the city of done yet. the number of casualties is not yet known. however, the city's mayor has warned that there may be victims still under the rubble as rescue operations continue. this footage from the don bye shows an abundant t 64 tank near the settlements of google. it appears that ukrainian force is simply left the vehicle with all its equipment anomaly in sight. videos posted on social media, show cars destroyed in care of across the capitals, nearly empty streets. this comes amid warnings of escalating crime in the city. as the government is said to be handing out guns to civilians and even released prisoners, the russian military is calling on residence to leave kia via a designated highway heading south west and his footage from done yet. so showing

the aftermath of an apparent shelling civilians are trying to survive in the conflict zone as cities and towns are caught between the front lines with buckles raging on local resident. a terrified with people's lives and home stove in last, 8 years after the conflict began, arthur corresponded rodriguez. b of reports. the sound of war is deafening, across the nearest ah. north west and south war rages. very close to go with the friendship launched by the republic of them yet skis. very much in full swing, the city of mario put the heart of the as of sea and the bastion of ukrainian

troops and nationalist battalions. it is needy surrounded coats between advancing troops. of the nits and russian units spreading out from crimea, ukrainian troops have fallen back and from a distance reeked destruction on villages and towns they once ruled. as you can hear from the sounds of flood tillery the battles he had just just west of than yet, still still rage. this used to be until hub. we could go a village. well beyond the front lines. the ukrainian positions went but east of here to woods than yeske 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 den, yet people's republic began moving into here and were met with

a firestorm of artillery which, which devastated these village. there were many people here, there now much fewer. we've heard about 3 people killed in their house and other 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 these 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 stayed 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 shelling he ran for help. well i started out when you were looking for a loaner star surplus. the z brewster consistently wasn't neopost along with a kick. bernice mother last me. her i nearly booker. i nearly kinetic cookies cuz it looks a bug, but a boy put valuable of dominion like it was. you left, i'm sure. at least using it was more num culture, sir. ah, yes, 40 stover? thought kenneth. bon bonded. yes. the nourish. those were smuggling. brazil. 3. right. and i said the net net at double but the as the door will 3rd lower talk which it is d that a nearby nickaligha which is much bigger. the onslaught was much the same here. terrified civilians, women children, the elderly hunker down in a school basement,

waiting for ukrainian military bombardment to 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 heat. this is all about survival even though the front lines of have moved on. they don't dare leave for fear of yet more shelling, which is claim the lives of, of so many people already. it do it. yes, this is too much like 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 to use my data shit. and they're still shelling. of course, it's carrie,

but i reassure myself and everything will be fine letters. they destroyed our houses, but yes, there are no windows in our house. any more. shells fell right here. antibiotics now we have to rebuke and clean everything out if it's coded to your pointers or chassis link only this year to the right. now i'm sitting and thinking, if i leave hair, where will i go on? yeah, we get now do, estes, every ceiling is broken. i do not know where i should go now. it only been aka lynn, which cut my grand daughter, has had a fever for to day and so my house was destroyed. my husband was operated on, his leg was torn through by a shell, cut it on the outskirts one family, apparently decided to upgrade the shelling at home. it would be their last decision . these house sustained a direct impact shell. landed the middle of the house. you couldn't 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 here. nevertheless, this she is being repeated across the dorm bus as fighting rages here in the ukrainian military retreats firing back, perhaps in revenge as they flee o care of accuses moscow of aggression and says around 5000 russian soldiers have been killed or wounded in recent days. with dozens of russian plains on helicopters, shot down and about $200.00 thanks, destroyed. moscow refused those claims while not disclosing concrete figures and says if he making major advances against ukrainian military ukraine. presidents has made an impassioned plea to join the european union at the special session of the

e. u. parliament. valid him is the lensky stress to kids willingness to recede. as in the wake of signing official requests, to become part of the block. more refined to be equal members of your own, which i believe today we're all showing that a union with us will be stronger and without you, ukraine will be a large slate, proven our strength, proven we're at least the same as a pros. you aren't letting us go, should we, could you really, europeans, the life of the fidel light will defeat darkness. sheesh ah but despite the loud applause, european lawmakers and officials have not given any direct response to zelinski is plea referencing quote, sensitivities within the you on enlargement. artesia davinsky reports in the you views this war in ukraine from very different eyes to how it's been seen in moscow

. or we know the ear is said to be preparing even more sanctions against russia in the wake of this war. this invasion as they describe it in you in ukraine and they said that the sanctions have already had a massive impact on the russian color. we know that the rubel has tanked in the last few days and that there are many people trying to get hold of a savings at banks and saying that they can't do that. however, the europeans have also warned that the sanctions, while they are hitting russia right now, there will be a sense of them also hitting here in europe as well. this is what ursula yvonne delane had to say. i am well aware that the sanctions will come at a cost far economy to i know this, and i want to speak honestly to the people of europe. we have endured tool is years of pandemic, and we all wished that we could focus on our economic and social recovery. but i

believe the people of europe understand very well that we must stand up against this cruel aggression. yes, protecting our liberty comes at a price. but this is a defining moment, and this is the cost we are willing to pay. because freedom is priceless, honorable members, this is our principal. freedom is priceless. well, just to give you a sense, what b e u is doing right now, it is sending arms to ukraine, some 452500 at 1000000 euros worth of weapons that are coming from countries that have previously been neutral. for example, finland, we also know that switzerland has decided that it will support the sanctions that have been laid down by the e u. so far against russia, against companies and individuals. now just to give you a sense that you k o who is also which has also been sanctioning russia and

originally close, it's a space to russia prior to the e. you doing this? we know that the british prime minister was in war. so today in the capital of poland and he was questioned about the situation, a rather emotional question coming from a ukranian journalist and korean people are desperately asking for the west to protect our sky. so you are coming to portland, you're not coming to kia, prime minister, you're not going to leave because you are afraid. i see that by family members that might timbers. i think that to be a grade. you don't to go to rub. this is what is happening feminist. well, thank you. thank you very much for for questions and, and when you talk about the, the move pricing. unfortunately, the implication of, of that is that the, the u. k. and i will be engaged in, in shutting down russian planes. i will be engage in direct combat. i with russia.

that's not something that we can do that we've, that we've envisage use kept. so president has accused moscow of engaging in what he describes as g u political terrorism. he said that the rule based on international that democracy, human dignity, this is the quote from shaw. michelle are also under attack and he said, this geopolitical terrorism is pure and simple. however, despite that, being the majority view, at least here in europe, there are some dissenting voices who are suggesting that the e u has perhaps dragged ukraine into this war. as i hang the fall off, it was a fatal mistake to tease ukraine with impossible promises. joining nato and the eel toll europe has dragged ukraine into this confrontation. it would be smarter to do so, so that ukraine could develop. it cannot be any one's out. melson, nato membership is a red line for russia. the russian federation will not allow this. it has been

talking about it for 20 years. but of course, a 1st set of talks were held on the border with galleries between ukraine and russia on monday. and there is the suggestion that those talks will continue, and that is what pretty much everybody wants to see at this, at this stage for both countries to be sat down and to be able to gauge in talks to find a way out of this crisis out of this war while to further discuss this ongoing war in ukraine, we are joined live now by alfred desires, who's a former you, an independent expert on the promotion of democratic and equitable international order. welcome to our international reasoning a good evening. now, do you think this conflict was inevitable, and what do you think could have been done to avoid it? or? well, we're certainly not inevitable. and there were many little paternity to reach a sensible compromise. i mean, the russian government has made implementable pragmatic proposals,

which unfortunately, my secretary of state done to me blank didn't have simply dismissed as also the leadership of america has dismissed. remember about 10 days ago, again, starting back in munich, saying that the russia doesn't want to have natal outage or door step one is going to get more natal not less. now this is still pain, the pension. this is throwing fuel on the fire. others is provoking now the united nations talk, which is the world constitution, obviously prohibits the use of force. so the aggression on not ukraine is illegal. on the other hand, it also prohibits the threat of the use of force and nato has been provoking

again and again and again. and also while leading article 20 of the international calling on a civil and political rights that prohibits propaganda for the nato. once it's so i'd say that it would have been super easy for the western powers to accept that the best solution would be to have a declaration of neutrality for ukraine. and then you grant could have the best relations commercial. another eyes where the west and with the east. what we have here a problem of on information war in which the level of line, the level of fake news and sake history, i'm fake law has reached such points that people cannot talk to each other. it's

very, very tricky, isn't it? i'll for the moment to, to, to figure out exactly what is going on. i apologize for interrupting, you know, talking about the west role in this conflict. what do you make of the weapons that are being supplied to ukraine? you can, you can certainly understand if you are the ukrainian side faith things such a force. you would appreciate some backup on. certainly, on the one hand, it's not wise on the part of nato because you are, you want to stop the fight. you want to stop this war. the only way to stop this war is to reach a compromise. now, back in 1962 cuban missile crisis was a quick protocol. so we have stuck the missiles away from cuba, mary, to miss all away from turkey. now, russia says, look,

you made assurances in 19899091. they're counting the make minutes. we can confirm them. you're not supposed to expand influence now. nature or product already around 1997, expand the eastward. there were warning our mesh diplomat at the time. 5 your foster can alert to this was a needless provocation. the last american ambassador in the soviet union was jack matlock explained that it was really responsible, unprofessional, of the united states. and they took to do this, and the responsibility goes to bill clinton goes to george

w. bush and goes through obama. now. many other expert already indicated that there are what may be term precedent of permits ability when nato destroyed the are totally integrity of your lobby. 999. while like you, when charter aggressive commerce, your rock libya, syria, without any approval by the united nation, to get away with it, made to commit for cra, frame, for against humanity, gets away with it. well, obviously the authority offer you one chart, your story of the united nations weaker. similarly, when you have the health think the final act that would prevent it, all of this was happening when you have the main agreement article. and then

neither she nor shelly state want to implement the main agreement. the organizational security corporation in europe does nothing, norman, the group does nothing. well, i mean that was asking for trouble and trouble. we have got time for one more question. you mentioned a series of interventions the on previous conflicts, given the way this one is shaping out. do you see the chance of becoming a protracted conflicts not dissimilar to the gun? it's done. well, it won't be like i've gone to time because after all is your but i don't see the use of nuclear weapons in europe. i don't see a 3rd world war what i do see the possibility of a protracted conflict. my hope would be that it's going to go shaders in tomorrow and realize that someone has to give here the only

one has to do something there. so some sort of commitment ukraine will not enter nato. that might be enough to stop the way. well, i think everyone is keeping their fingers crossed for breakthrough in those talks for design. thank you very much for your time and your insights, us for desires, for me, are you an independent expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order? thank you. now we have received a exclusive from what used to be a don bus resort on the 3 of us of which appears to show its complete destruction by ukrainian militants used to be a base for ukraine's far right. as of battalion before be reclaimed on monday by the netscape people's republic forces. now, in a disturbing you turn, facebook will now let's use as praise a neo nazi military units previously. buns along with his. i'm x state under ku

klux klan facebook. he's bunning c in the u. u both he's promoting the far rights of battalion, which we've just mentioned in a bid to improve coverage of the ukranian army for the time being. we're making a narrow exception for praise of the as a battalion strictly in the context of defending ukraine or in their role as part of the ukraine national guard. the policy tweak though, still forbids quotes, any praise of violence committed by the extremist group. the battalion emerged as an anti russian militia and ukraine and joined the ukrainian national guard back in 2014. its infamous for its neo nazi ideology and usage of associated symbols. the un accuse the battalion of torture and rape with the u. s. congress, blocking military aid as of on the grounds, all base idea, logical propensity. now the battalion has again, made all the wrong headlines after ukraine's army tweeted a video showing

a soldier from the neo nazi regiment, dipping bullets in pig thoughts as part of a threat to kill russian muslims. now we requested facebook for their comments on this, and we'll let you know if and when they get back to us. we joined live now by independent journalists, benjamin norton. benjamin, welcome to asi, international. what do you make of facebook reversal of these hearts restrictions? and now the ability to back this neo nazi group. well, it clearly shows the political hypocrisy of facebook and its parent company meta facebook. let's not forget we're meta has numerous contracts with the u. s. government including the pentagon. so this is an organization that has a kind of revolving door with the u. s. government. in fact, many of the people on facebook security team, our former u. s. government officials, including people from the white house. so the reality is that facebook, in many ways serves the political interests of united states and we see this so

clearly with facebook allowing users to praise a neo nazi group. a's off is explicitly neo nazi. it uses the neo nazi german wolf's angle symbol. this is a symbol that was used by nazi germany. it preaches at white supremacist ideology that portrays russians as a g attic and portrays ukrainians as a pure white race. this group is explicitly fascist, and the reality is that this group has also been armed and supported by the united states. you did mention that after several years, the u. s. congress did eventually take action against a's off, but early on when the us back to qu, in ukraine in 2014, in which a soft played an important role. and after that, when is off was incorporated, these neo nazis were incorporated into the crania national guard, the u. s. military and also the canadian military sent officers to ukraine to train members of a's of and they're actually photos that we have of us in canadian

military personnel in their uniforms with the patches of the us and canadian flags meeting and posing with these neo nazis. so this group is not just some isolated neo nazi militia. this is directly part of ukrainian state. and unfortunately has received support from western government. and i know your article on this neo nazi battalion was recently censored by instagram though. what do you think was behind that move? well, it's quite ironic because meto, which owns instagram and also facebook said that it would allow posts of people who praised a's of i wrote an article and my independent news website, multi polar reached up about this tweet of asia. rather, excuse me, the, the national guard, the official verified twitter account of ukrainian national guard sharing a video of a neo nazi from a's off dipping bullets in pig fat to kill chechen muslims from the

russian army. i wrote an article about this completely factual as a journalist, and then i posted a screenshot of that article and instagram and instagram censored it and said that it, it violated their content on, on promoting violence and hateful groups. but ironically, meadow which owns instagram says that it actually allows people that praise is off . so i guess they don't allow people who criticize these ukrainian, neo, nazis apparently. but they do allow people who praise these neo nazi extremists because they're killing russians. and that happens to serve you as foreign policy. interesting, as i'm sure you're where ot see has been blocked in europe under youtube was also blocked saw channel. why do you think big tech appears to be moving in lock step to send said russian networks like caught c, unspoken whose interest do you think that serves? well, we should never forget that most of these big.
