[000:00:00;00] a 2nd round of peace talks between russia and ukraine starts and bella roost after long delays are corresponded to there in the country, which creates a picture like in hollywood, locally with absolute good is embodied in the character who is the screen. right? so this action movie brushes, foreign minister wars, that western media and politicians have taken a totally unbalanced approach to covering the crisis. and ukraine. european union is preparing a 4th package of anti russian sanctions that could seriously back fire on to europe's own economy. while the west continues to push a heavily russo phobic narrative, a french journalist stepped forward to note that the ukrainian government has

actually been targeting civilians and on boss over the past 8 years. to set that all those people are you training that people showing the also conducted by ukrainian? yeah, definitely with your watching are to international special coverage of the war and you crate. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. the russian and ukraine delegations are holding a 2nd round of peace talks and bell roofs parties. constantine rough calls is there for us only a handful of media representatives, including our har t's camera, were allowed inside to film the 2 delegations as they walked into the room for the talks. and we already seen the footage of the 2 sides shaking their hands. it's anybody's guess, actually, how long moscow and key if, well, le negotiate for this time. the 1st round of talks lasted around 5 hours,

with no immediate result. both sides have stayed wide over what exact points are being discussed, although the head of the russian delegation, bladder remedy, and ski said that a cease fire is on the table. he also said that russia has military humanitarian and political demands without getting into specifics. there has been a lot of conflicting information leading up to these talks. initially, they were supposed to take place yesterday when the russian delegation arrived. but then the timeline was moved back at ukraine's required the negotiations were put off, have been further reported, because the training and delegation wanted to rest in poland before go into bella luce. anyway, officials in moscow seem to be disappointed by what they believe was a deliberate attempt to delay the meeting. the information that members of the cranium delegation bordered a polish helicopter and headed towards valerie, appeared several hours after crane's president gave a public address. his statements were interpreted by some as suggesting his country has

a strong position ahead of the talks. latimer zaleski said that $16000.00 former service members and immerse mercenaries are headed towards ukraine to fight russian troops . letterman food and also showed his determination to follow through on russia's military campaign and a phone call with the president of france. he said that moscow's goals remain the same. the military is ation of ukraine and ukraine's neutrality. the former director general of the united nations office in geneva told us that the current situation was provoked, making it practically inevitable. as the oldest like negotiations for the go spaces like for report administer group made that much better to have 10 years of negotiations. one daily work, but history group is inevitable,

whether you would like it or not. but we're in, in this case, was, there was no way actually war several times the publicly, privately dawkins misstatements. you get your grade, you read the aggression against that? yes. can look, ask woocommerce the russian response to the russian population, and we cannot tolerate such an enemy more than will will be used as a n d. as a semester, down in the politic and i got russia foreign minister, sir g,

a lab. ralph has given an interview to r t and other international media outlets to address the current crisis and ukraine . he says, coverage of the conflict has been artificially scripted. this was gonna, ukraine, has long been made, an anti russia springboard was undermining every notion of thinking about the diplomatic talents of the west. people have been dying by the thousands which none of the western media had the idea to go to the dumbass. you see how people lives in the ukrainian regime. james harris was, i think he's not attacked anyone. the west creates a picture like in hollywood. there is absolutely evil and absolute goodman and absolute good is embodied in the character who is the screen writer on this action movie. when moscow is trying to explain it's motivation and now or what is called a military operation against me. ukraine. it seems that the questions that follow from western media are,

are completely ignorant of what russia has been saying all along. so to that, mr. lab rav replied that he believes that at the moment the west is listening. but it's not hearing russia. i'm good at what you allude to, we're being told, don't worry, the exception of ukraine or any other country to know. so won't be a threat to russia security. why on earth should the west define what russia requires for insecurity? they hear us that they're not listening and they're trying to impose upon their own understanding of how to continue living in europe was with you. well, we do have to understand that it's not really being activated. it's something that they're calling here in russia to make it ready for some kind of potential response . and i guess response is the key word here. again, if we listen to what exactly as being said by the russian officials, this, according to the kremlin, is in reaction to the military build up of nato, its forces,

its hardware on russia's doorstep. so it's not really something that could be interpreted, i guess, as russia banning the drums of nuclear war or something like that. and this is what sir elaborate has been explaining it really is up at mislead you. the idea of nuclear war is constantly bouncing around in the heads of western politicians. not ours. i assure you will not allow any provocation to throw us off the balance. now just to follow up on what i've been saying a little earlier, the messages have been coming from moscow not only this time around, but in previous years, was about how the russian side is worried about the expansion of nato. eastwards. and also we heard from sir la ra, that nato really needs to follow up on its own mission statement that it is

a defensive alliance. and if it's about defense, the russian side, ben cannot understand why it keeps edging closer towards russia's borders. because i need to speak to show that it can dictate orders in europe, you see a line of defensive and it would have to defend itself. there's no one has attacked in those needs, has been constantly expanding eastward on each time union, terminating the so called lines of defense has already come close to the because i was away. i do quite a few things being said by foreign minister wild rob about nato. about the actions of western countries in the past, and during this conflict as well, that leads to consequences. but he also had a few things to say about the negotiations that are either about to start or that have just begun. the next round in bell rose between the delegations of russia

and ukraine. according to certain live robs kia, found a pretext which is unknown, to somehow change the time and at least try and change the location of these talks. according to the russian foreign minister, again, crane is completely not independent in this particular situation. like it's been because i've been 2014 after it was what moscow will keep calling the military to kiev when president, yada cobra georgia was asked right now i just want to make sure that we understand that most of these were the latest comments of survey lab before the next round of negotiations between key of moscow and bella, ruth was very important right now is to hear from both sides when they come out of that negotiated levels in the state of russia is military operation in ukraine, with many civilians fleeing the fighting. and others leaving the rebel at once was their homes. we've received footage of the destruction in the city of gordon and

the don boss region where heavy showing has been reported. the city mayor published this video of a home, guarded by the fighting as emergency services, tried to restore basic utilities like water and electricity warning you may find some of the following images from we're about to show disturbing. we've received this video from 2 villages in the guns people's republic who is forces say they've taken control of ukrainian army stronghold and a vehicle checkpoint. authorities add that more than 40 towns and villages. and the don boss has now been and now some footage from the ukrainian side. and this for did, you can see a small village, devastated on the outskirts of kia, didn't say a bomb, destroyed several homes on wednesday morning. and the ukrainian side has reported that 2 people have been killed and 12 injured in the village over the past week. now these are russian armed units advancing in the key of region with buildings and

infrastructure burned and damaged following intent. showing. the president says that more than 6000 russian soldiers have been killed or wounded over the past week . moscow has denied the claim, but says it has inflicted heavy casualties among the ukrainian military waters. lensky added that key of need security guarantees from the west. if it's not allowed to join nato and insists that ukrainians have rallied since the start of russia, special operation thing to me, which is that get on or see if we could go for am russia invade territory of independent country over creating a private act of aggression megalomania and persecution broke out hillary tank and other vehicles coming like a form of lucas. first hours and days of a full scale will will really difficult, but we will united, which means we, well drawn and us we, we will continue. we will stand that explain more russian representatives abroad, have faced unprecedented threats and attacks as a result of the conflict. moscow's embassy in paris has been vandalized with paint

earlier. russia's embassy in australia was mailed to on the lopes with a suspicious white powder inside. local authorities are investigating the incident as envoy to australia did tell us, though, that diplomatic staff are incur are being increasingly targeted. the sector for these recent days. the situation around the embassy has been very dense, and we haven't been massively targeted with the threatening and insulting messages. and actions is the 1st time a we received such a male. what we know by now from the police and the emergency services that the content of the 2 envelopes proved to be safe. in fact,

no dangerous. and why now it seems the situation has been the result. what i would like to know is say that the australian lo inforcement agencies should be credited. they take very seriously. it seems they're obligations of the convention and they take measures to protect the embassy to ensure the security around the m a. c is, is there, over $800000.00 people have fled the country since russia special operations started. that's according to the un. but there's growing criticism at the western media comparisons between those refugees and the millions who fled conflicts in the middle east, as well as in afghanistan over the past 2 decades. ortiz roma course or ever explains in times like these,

the ugly side always shows itself what hidden becomes revealed with her media are no exception. apparently, race is the factor that got them so riled up over ukraine. me or story is really emotional for me because i see europe, young people with blue eyes and lot here being huge. this isn't a place with all due respect, you know, like iraq or afghanistan says a relatively civilized i relatively european. i have to choose those words carefully to, we're in the 21st century. we're in a european city, and we have cruise missile fire as though we were in a rock rough canister. so for them people dying in iraq and afghanistan are, it's also a difference. it seems and nothing can stay in the path of a narrative. take this tweet, for example by b, b, c. it described savage racism encountered by africans in ukraine. didn't look good . so they replaced that with a milder one too bad. some one has spotted it. b, b c,

deleted this tweet about the savage racism faced by africans in ukraine and replaced it with one that soft petals the reality. they call this blatant white washing more context and clarity or take this map. the new york times seems to have divided the people of one region into separate classes. they're calling ukrainians, fleeing violence to the west. refugees, while ukrainian seeking refuge in russia are just migrants. but that's, of course, if you managed to spot it there graphically minimize to the points of being barely visible. and these are the very same people again, europeans. but for them, the hardships began not in 2022, but 8 years ago. according to jim shooter was cnn. ukraine was peaceful until just days ago, to us media. stenographers, the don bass ward that has killed $14000.00 plus people in ukraine since 2014, fueled by billions of dollars in

u. s. weapons doesn't exist. so media snog refers that on bus war that has killed more than 14000 people in ukraine since 2014 simply doesn't exist. peaceful. want to know more about the hardship of people in the don boss while i was there from the very beginning and person to witness the killing of civilians by artillery strikes. children, women, elderly, literally torn a port by the shelley of ukraine's army, ah, o. these atrocities all went largely unnoticed by viewers and readers in the west. why you ask? well,

the answer is simple. though skilled were proclaimed pro russian separatist. the reality seems too inconvenient for the mainstream media to report as they were nowhere near the nets core logans, because you are in the conflicts, no one's or it doesn't show ukraine in the best light, according to the united nations, more than 80 percent of civilian casualties in the dumb boss war came in a rebel held territory, and only 16 percent were in the ukrainian government control territory. i've just returned from the don boss, people's republic, where many residents have been in something of a state of euphoria since russia recognized their sovereignty for them. this period of uncertainty and hopelessness is now overt. it's doubtful. they even care now how the western media sees them, but it still doesn't. as it continues with its narrative, were the suffering of one group of people deserved coverage. in contrast, others don't, as they do not fit the agenda,

depaul courtesy at his best. when comparing the crisis in ukraine or yemen, any bombs being dropped anywhere deserves full media coverage. and the plight of civilian whether it's in ukraine or in yemen should be prioritized and the escalation shouldn't be the message, but from, you know, media pundits alike. but perhaps right now, the biggest hypocrisy in coverage that we're seeing is the complete outrage at russian's millis. russia's military action been ukraine by the western mainstream media, while simultaneously being completely silent for the last 7 years to the nearly daily bombings by saudi arabia and the you are a completely hypocritical. and part of the reason is because our media in the west has become the product of the military industrial complex. we conducted a study in mid press, actually looking at all of the up as an article published at the new york times,

the washington post. and the wall street journal, when found that 90 percent of those articles have taken a hawkish view on the ukraine conflict, written by pundits tied to the national security state, promoting nato as a defender of the free world, the lives that are being lost in the m in our lives that are being lost by weapons that are being manufactured and created by the west and natal allied countries. human life is the human life, no matter where war is waged and we have to end this very blatant racism or get more input on this. we're an across live to can work on last year and a syrian armenian political commentator. thanks a lot for joining us. the 1st thing i want to ask about is do you think there are double standards in covering refugees from ukraine as compared to those in the middle east? thank you very much for having me just quickly. i would like to say that i'm from

syria and i was also forced to leave my country due to the american origin change for so i know very well what does it mean to be a refugee in a different country. so my sympathy goes to the ukranian people and while the victims, whether they're going to rush out or to do, you are being contrast to some of the standard is not you look most of them. if it is that we have witness in the past few decades, are a direct result of either a direct military intervention or invasion by the united states or indirectly to regime change words in the region. and we can see if we check the demographics of the reproduce in europe, you will understand that this congress were targeted by the united states and they let their hire, this latins racism, that we see nowadays by the western corporate journalists. right. it's unsurprising for me to be honest, and this shows their real there, they must have fallen and they are showing their real faces. however, in my opinion, these

w standards and racism has 2 goals. they are aiming to each 2 goals. one is to shape the public opinion in the european countries that we have. the parents have to receive, maybe tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of new reproduce and to see if reduce or not are different from the fridge. is that a accept that? let's say in 20142015. those are coming from relatively civilized or civilized countries comparing to the uncivilized people like myself. when i arrived in 2016 in germany, the 2nd goal is to in directly urge the ultra nationalist in europe in order to go and fight in ukraine. this is very important because if we see this statement, for example, of the foreign minister of the u. k. she said a few days ago that she encourages the british nationals to travel and go to the u . k, sorry to ukraine and fight against russia. and during this times of who are you today?

i'm good to the words on the mostly the radicals and in my opinion, we will see the international lives, especially to radical drinks. they will join decides from european conscious and they truly travel to ukraine and they will most probably end up in the new nazi groups such as, as such as the national militia. and they will be in ukraine committing atrocities there. right. but the, in my opinion, the europe teen political ellis do not really care now about these details. what they really care about is to repel the, the russian attack on ukraine and foil the russian invasion in ukraine. and make it a quagmire for discussions in order to keep russia busy in a long term war that's exhaust economy there. we mentioned racism a couple times there. i want to ask you, do think that this coverage reflect some sort of endemic islamic phobia. and the you actually,

i'm not sure if there is like what is widespread is some of what we are in, especially in western europe. but it definitely exist, for example, in poland and hungary, already racist rhetoric. or the approach that the western corporate media adopted, especially during this time when there are tens of thousands of the bridges are trying to flee ukraine. they are playing this discard in order to mobilize the aeroplane ranks against one enemy for them. and that is russia, and the perfect example of this is that they are banning the not only the rash media as they're burning the russian literature banning russian sports clubs, banning russian arts, et cetera. even today in germany, russian shops are under attack here and the foreign minister of germany, she asked, she's asking the people not to attack russian infrastructure here or russian businesses because this media coverage is of course,

worsening the situation. and they are urging the people or the radicals in order to act as long walls against russian interests here. and this, this, i'm not trying to make any excuses for the russian attack on ukraine, but demonizing, russia as a whole, as a nation, as its people. it's civilization, it's contrary language and it's people, everything is simply wrong and it will, it will be contra productive on those who adopted this strategy. while on the topic of attacks, like you mentioned, what do you think about the shocking attacks we've seen on russian people and institutions that have nothing to do with political decision making? or even the embassies, for example, the, the, the envelopes of a suspicious white powder that was said that were sent to the embassy in australia . actually, it's horrendous. what we see, for example, in germany or in other europeans,

it is just increased hatred against russia. they are doing it, the media is doing its on purpose and they want to bring the public into one rank and they want to keep them on, on an alarm against the against russia. and in order to justify any future steps, whether economic sanctions or maybe sending arms, and i mean nation into ukraine because they want to portray putting president, put in some sort of hitler of the 21st century. so all this coverage is just it results into acts underground act of aggression against the russian nations. and i just want to mention an example very quickly. i know people who are some people in germany and they're against the russian a tie. you can't write. and after all these media coverage and demonizing, the russian people and they're being like, they cannot say that the russian is today. and so they started to feel panic. so now,

now they understand also they may be interpreting this war is not against the russian leadership, but it against the entire russian population. because what, how can you justify banning russian literature in, for example, italian university, or how can you justify banning russian football clubs? i mean, do the ban israel or turkey or the united states for occupying parts of syria? no. so the hypocrisy is so ridiculous here. in my opinion, while today we're going to see another round of russia ukraine talks. what do you expect from them? to be honest, i don't expect much from the storks. i think both sides, they still team that the military situation is not in their favor and they want to, especially the russian side. i think they want to seal this awesome part. they want to close the as of c and the black seen fund of the ukraine, ukrainian forces in order to make your grant an inland. and at the same time,

as the landscape thinks that the europeans or the americans will provide them with a type of equipment that he can turn the table upside down. so both sides are still in a position that they want to really continue this. we're at the moment until they reach to a point that both sides think that it's the time for diplomacy. but in my opinion, if you will really want to solve the situation. if the russians pick up with the americans, they need to sit on a table and discuss on a security arrangements in entire eastern europe. because in my opinion, he's just he's serving the interests of the americans on, unfortunately not serving the interests of the ukrainians. political commentator of arc, all nazi and thanks a lot for giving us your input on that. our french journalist has been criticized for saying that don boss residents have been targeted by the ukranian government over the past 8 years. she's been filming in the war torn region since 2015 and told about her experience on live television. the anchor was quite

skeptical about what she said. sir continued about dead and wounded. i filled them every day. i take photos every day, save us proof. i cannot have any political message press so you know, the conflict has been widely discussed. we will, but it has long been over the age. yes, it can cause the death of 15000 people who people are devastated to all of them. i ukrainian and they're extremely europe now aware situation of the title and living in basement heavy artillery everywhere. i was feeling this back in 2015 for me and i repeat, this has been going on since 24 to 20 on nickel. since we're not all of us know about the situation as much as you do that since you've been following. and so many years you said surprised him. he said that all those people are raining, ready filled out and showing it also conducted by cranium. definitely. this is something really important and somehow it's being ignored by their own government

in 2014 and speaking. so victim to government. it's true. i have proof, i can show it as soon as i go back. john's. all this is liza was showing is being carried out by russia premiums. you could crane the entire shooting where i am now training and government bomb the fit since children had to live in based on of the films that i made in 2000 and proof of crimes against humanity. but it came from, i was an edge to the other day. i was a school teacher ahead explosion. i met elderly women could not leave the civilians for him. victim to heavy artillery rocket, lone chest. i'm not very good with a weapon. i can confirm that here in the don't best in the russian speaking part residential area to show today the net square and you think that the bombings are

being conducted by the central cranium authorities. so yes, i'll stick with us in just another 30 minutes because we're going to be continuing our special coverage of the war in ukraine. see that? ah ah ah, it was in the 1950s that our secretary of state john foster,
