9:30 am
one montage association with us. it does, it does make sense. i think in a way, yes, i do think it is a proportional responsive, especially knowing that russian propaganda stations will use imagery like that to make it sound like scotland is with them. when that is not true, i'd say there's thousands of flags for literally everything. there's a bunch of different countries where they already mix up flags. they kind of all look the same just depending on the color. so really i wouldn't say it's that big of a deal. it seems a little bit over the top. i think i probably would kinda like the 2 together to be honest. i will of associated them both over in the ukranian city of sue me far rides, forces had allegedly shelled accommodation, housing, housing, excuse me, indian students. as, according to the russian defense ministry, according to the original authorities, 5 people are understood. the been injured in the dark while the fates of another 11 is still or known. in this video, you can see now which was from
9:31 am
a low cost using coordinates. he says around 600 people remain stranded in the building with no electricity or water. and we've been sold, some people are even using melted snow as drinking water. now we can cross live now, so i get crew my jaw, who's a research editor for india today. welcome to the program. like, you know, we understand there are allegations that the nationalist brigade did shell, this university accommodation, housing, indian students. what more can you tell us about what happened? well, what we came to know from going to general because millions have is that, you know, there was the neo nazis had fired at the hall at the hospital where indian students were living in. so me and that, you know, 5 of them were actually heard. and then the other reports which tell us that about
9:32 am
11 indian students are missing actually. busy so, you know, there are all kinds of reports coming in from all quarters. you know that out of the 76000 foreign students in, inside ukraine. more than 20000 are indians. now fortunately, in the last one week, quite a few will have returned because president putin and prime minister nor in durham or d, had had long talks. and in that they kind of came to an agreement that they would be a fuse fire. while, while these indian students are being brought back, in fact, president putin actually promised that he would ensure that indian students return home safely. so quite a few, a 48 to sort these are brought back, you know, played sub, brought back indian students. but still, quite a few remained back in ukraine. ukraine, you know, is the 11th,
9:33 am
the largest destination for indian students specially studying medicine and journey engineering, business and all kinds of other subjects. so many of the students that the indian, you know, india news, a cost as i've spoken to have spoken about very bad conditions, sub 0 temperatures walking 4 miles and miles, trying to reach the border at times, having a hard time with, you know, the guards quite often facing lots of problems like did your ward not blame? no place to sleep inside bunkers, with no electricity in putting on the mosques to prevent them from getting duster. so it's a pretty pathetic condition and not not very helpful with these attack by the neo nazis on these foreign students. i know some, certainly some very disturbing reports coming up now you've,
9:34 am
you've switched on this in your previous answer that, but we've also had reports that some indian students and indeed are the foreigners in ukraine are being harassed. what more can you tell us about dots? and if so, why do you think it's happening? well, 11 reason one can only speculate. one reason the attacks on indian students might be there is because of the standard that india took in the, on the entire issue in this sort of conflict between ukraine and russia. obviously, you know, india has abstained from voting in the un. india considered russia all where the friend they have been friends since india got independence. in 1947. they had had groupie, rober, trade, enormous defense links, other kinds of links. and given the fact that ukraine is closer to the nato a, you know, ukraine wants to be
9:35 am
a member of the natal. ukraine has not been as friendly to india as lead to russia has. so i guess there might be apprehensions with regard to that. sometimes it borders on racism. i mean, all kinds of reports are coming. the fact that, you know, these are non white students. one has heard report from even africans, poland students, arab students, and several indian students that sometimes these are bordered on racial attacks. but largely i have a feeling, it's because the fact that some ukrainians at least feel that india is not supporting the cause of ukraine and now, but as i mentioned, the reason of course is the great friendship between india and russia, and that we've had historically very close relations, so that, that, that is perhaps the main reason for this. now again,
9:36 am
you did just search on this for there have also been reports that the us will be applying more pressure to india to condemn russia's actions in ukraine. have you heard anything about those reports and if it's true, do you think that ukraine will resist this pressure from the us? oh, oh, the are you talking about the pressure by the us on india or you green pressure by the u. s. on india to condemn rushes actions in ukraine. well, you know, india has a rather independent policy in the past. in the i used to have this policy of non alignment. and russia, as i pointed out, has always been sort of great friend of, of india. india has enormous amount of defense and economic links with russia. technological people to people, russian students would come to study in india. indian students go and study in
9:37 am
russia. do remember that almost the same number of indian students study in russia as in ukraine, more than 20000. so i don't pay and of course india also has very close links with the u. s. but on this issue i ping india has taken a principal stand and i, despite the pressure in the i would try to diplomatically sort of talk to both sides and ensure that somehow this, this entire conflict is resolved rather than fall into a trap. and as i said, india would have to walk despite the rope, walk between friendship with russia, friendship with the u. s. at the same time. but india is obviously very, very close to russia. is with russia on this all the way. so i'm of course, yes, very, very close ties with us also been
9:38 am
a bricks member as well. now the 2nd round of talks finished with russia and ukraine, and they did agreed to provide those humanitarian corridors for people wishing to leave what you expect from the 3rd round of talk. do you think there be any breakthrough? well, we hope that we should be a breakthrough. i mean, obviously the conflict has gone for more than almost 10 days to 2 weeks. and what we hear on the ground, you know, lives have been lost on both sides. the economy is under strain bolt in russia. in ukraine all over the world, you know that while prices have really risen very, very high. and so, i hope that it resolved soon. president, dean has, has argued that if you crane listen to all the demands of russia, he's ready to have, you know, a cease fire. so i think, i hope this sort of resolves to the benefit on both sides. and this conflict ends
9:39 am
because it's hurting the entire globe, specially holding russia and ukraine at this moment. and india would like to play this role where it can help resolve the differences. and it's obviously, it's a great friend of the set of russia. it's also close to the us and to some of the u . s. to europe and powers. so yes, i think we hope that the co drown leads to some kind of resolution. and but to that is a bit of skepticism. given that, you know, this conflict has dawned much bigger than what it was. i mean, especially given the fact that the, you know, there are these nuclear stations in ukraine. one of them we hear is now under the control of russia. russia is trying to reach the 2nd nuclear and sort of station
9:40 am
so, so this is something really is very urgent. that there is a resolution soon. well, yes, i think everyone's keeping their fingers crossed, that this conflict resolves as quickly as possible. and of course, those standard indian students make their home, make their way home safely. i can only imagine how worried the relatives and friends are back in india. article much research at india today. thank you very much for your time. thank you. thank you very much. i'll meanwhile, protestors have hit the streets of belgrade and serbia to show their support for russia. the raleigh started with the russia answer be a national anthems and thousands in the crowd waved russian flags and carried pictures of president putin. many of the protesters were also sharing unseen nato sentiments and this combs, as many ordinary serv still hold the memory of nate, so's bombings of their country. back in the 1990s was 7 guide professor. the institute of european studies in belgrade says that despite receiving little media
9:41 am
coverage, protest is flocked to the rally after it was advertised on social media. the rally was not really advertised very much except for the telegram groups or a size that are really very small. busy the, their, their scope is not large or is their audience, but from word to words, from off the mouth of the word spread. so people came in great numbers, actually to support russia. and there is a simpler place where that is because russia was supporting for last 20 years, serbia's territorial integrity in the you. and when it comes to the cost of all issue, russia was supporting and still is supporting the resolution. $1244.00, that guarantees a real integrity, and there is
9:42 am
a strong and 98 percent demand that only grew over 2 years. which is why people actually know that these kind of brought us our finger in d i a, in, in the western. let's say media in the western, even a public wallet. another rally in georgia, protesters stood in solidarity with ukraine. thousands gathered in the capital to make their feelings felt over. russia's actions during the rally, ukrainian president followed him. is the landscape address protested in a live broadcast, urging them to bring more people into the street and to show us before the russian paralympic team is about to return from basing to moscow. that's after the international paralympic committee bod, russian, and bella, russian athletes from participating over the conflicts and ukraine. $83.00 athletes
9:43 am
in total were bond, and the move reversed the committees. previous decision that allowed us leads from both countries to compete as neutrals. oh, this video was taken right after the decisions above the athletes was announced. the par olympians were seen singing the national anthem and removing stickers, showing that mutual status. some said they were no longer afraid of being barred from events over displaying russian national symbols. one athlete told us how the team was feeling following the decision. and usually the shock, it's shocking for us for some it was a 1st chance, but for some it's the last chance to take part in the paralympics. they might never be in such good shape. again, of course the athletes are innocent, they're just paralympic sports men and women who just do their job, who train a lot, who sacrificed a lot to succeed, to get their medal, to hear their national anthem, to motivate and inspire others are paralympic committee will do everything to
9:44 am
protect our athletes, they will hire the best lawyers to find a way to lift the ban. i think we will get through it and take part in the next paralympics. i think the whole international, olympic and paralympic games concept was created to unite people to show our kindness, to remind that we live on one planet and we take care of it. we should respect each other. moving russia has rejected allegations from ukraine on members of the international community that it was responsible for an attack on europe's largest nuclear power plants. that position was reiterated during a un security council meeting. his art is caleb moping with more the united nations, a meeting of the security council was convened, called by britain with russia being accused by the united states, as well as by britain of endangering the world by engaging and fighting at a nuclear power plant. when the ben via the permanent representative of russia, the united nations took to the floor, he refuted many of these allegations and gave
9:45 am
a correct narrative of the dance. he pointed out that russia assumed control of the power plant peacefully and guarded the power plant. and then from there, there was a provocative attack by ukraine nationalists. they opened fire on the russian troops regarding the power plant. the russian troops returned fire. then the ukrainian nationalists retreated and as they retreated, they lit a fire. all of this took place on a property adjacent to the power plant. it did not happen at the actual site of the power plant. however, when the bends he spoke, he pointed out that this wild misrepresentation of events fits a pattern. so when you're done in this meeting is another attempt of the key, eval, sorry, seems to for men's artificial. his theory are about what is happening in ukraine. their western patrons direct calling them, and today we heard another line, russian troops allegedly attack the policy and nuclear power congress with all of that is part of an unprecedented campaign of lies and disinformation against russia . you were trying to present the case in such
9:46 am
a way that the support john clark was allegedly show by the russian military and the fire broke out there. these statements are not true. furthermore, he pointed out that this is not the 1st time that ukrainian nationalists have used power plant in their provocation back in 2014. this very same power plant was targeted by ukrainian nationalists in the hopes of drawing western allies into the conflict in ukraine. bens the also pointed out the brutal atrocities being committed by the ukranian nationalists fighting force. these ukrainian nationalist fighting forces have taken half pages. they prevented people from playing to humanitarian corridors. they've opened fire on chinese nationals who are trying to flee from ukraine. so you know, a lot, it's not being reported. and western media was highlighted by the russian representative when he took the floor to defend russia from the allegation that they were attacking a nuclear power plant. and one of the main points that had been to the made, he said that what would russia gain from having
9:47 am
a huge amount of nuclear fall out right on their board? or if there were some kind of disaster at a power plant in ukraine, it would most certainly blow over into bell roost and into russia. and russia wouldn't benefit from this in any conceivable way. he pointed out that russia is doing everything possible to make sure nuclear power plants are safe and protected, and that russia wants to minimize civilian casualties and any potential dangers in this unfolding. conflict taking place in ukraine. russian diplomatic missions abroad her foulness, so the targets of hades over the countries actions in ukraine. stuff. working at the embassy in dublin, said the families had been abused, including the receiving of death threats. the russian embassy in paris was vandalized with pain on the back pipe with an incendiary mixture. inside was thrown on land surrounding the embassy in amsterdam. we heard from the ambassador in both front, on the netherlands about what's been happening. are so smooth,
9:48 am
some one slipped blends filled with paint, and the russian embassy covering the front of the building on the wall of the embassies orthodox church. they wrote words that are not allowed to stay on air. we do our best to ensure our employees safety and encourage them to take any necessary safety matches. we ask them not to leave their homes unless it is absolutely necessary. we suddenly came across some fake news that claimed russian students had been kicked out of french universities. we conducted our own research and found out that wasn't true. moreover, the heads of some top french universities promised that they will not expel russian students because of the political situation. now, french president emanuel micron is playing an active role in solving the ukrainian crisis and talks regularly with the russian president. france understands the need for a new european security system, but now we're at the very peak of the conflict. frances agreed to all the sanctions against russia, including economic, they're risking their own companies. it's sad news, but i hope that soon they'll realize that these actions are damaging for their own
9:49 am
economy. it's also sad to hear that the french ministry of culture and the ministry of sports have been russian, are to snap fleets from performing in france. it's just nonsense. should her original a backpack with a handmade in century device like a molotov cocktail was thrown into the territory of our embassy. fortunately, it did not explode. liquid in the bottle did not ignite the motives lie on the surface. this is an attempt to intimidate us to make us make mistakes. in addition, letters with white powder was sent to my address and to my colleagues, we gave him to the police who conducted an analysis. it turned out to be flour also before that flares were thrown at us. as for russian citizens living in the netherlands, indeed, we hear that they are receiving threats, discriminate, reactions had been committed against them. some have been fined from their job simply because their russian, others had denied rental housing, forced to move out immediately, and some one was threatened with physical violence. well,
