1:03 pm
were agreed upon. now, in the talks between russia and ukraine, in a biller ru says, when all that was happening, but after humanitarian corridors opened up at 12 pm. this saturday, a rush of defense ministry reported that's out of the 215000 people expected to evacuate from city sofa, murray, who paul, and the city of all of our, the neighboring cities. well know, people had actually shown up on out. we did receive a report over the last few days that some people actually did managed to escape from nearby cities to mario full but so those numbers are too low. it's like 5 here, 3 here. so not a lot of people managed to escape and it was very dangerous. and so these people, they made their own roots and really risked their lives. now, according to the russian defense, ministry of humanitarian corridors were open throughout the day. people could saker
1:04 pm
an opportunity and leave, but unfortunately they said thousands of low calls and foreigners, they're blocked in the city because the city is encircled by this. there is oral defense battalion called the us alpha. let's hear from the russian defense ministry . what they said about that problem, not a single civilian, could get out of mary you, paul, and bono baccha. along the agreed humanitarian corridors, muzzling the residents of the cities are being held by nationalist formations as a human shield. nationalist battalions took advantage of the ceasefire to regroup and strengthen their positions quickly and due to the unwillingness of the ukrainian side to influence the nationalists or prolonged a ceasefire. regime on the offensive actions have been resumed. workers are running now the mayor of my rou, paula, he made a statement and he claimed that everything was ready. everything was in place for the evacuation of for refugees and that he said that they began to inform and collect residents that certain locations for the evacuation to begin. and he said
1:05 pm
that even the red cross was present to assist with evacuation, but he said it was impossible to to do to perform because showing by a russian army had begun. now on the other hand, we had to rush in defense, but it's free who also made a claim that they have ariel footage, showing that there were absolutely no attempts made to gather is people and to provide a safe passage for them out of the area. and russian defense ministry insisted that ukraine use this time of ceasefire to actually regroup and to strengthen their positions. now we also received unconfirmed reports earlier in the day that a building collapse as a result of an explosion in myrtle and buried at least $200.00 to a local residence in the rubble. now, once again,
1:06 pm
this is an unconfirmed. bush certainly shows how alarming the situation there is and how desperate the people are to leave this affected area where you certainly painted quite a grim picture of the situation in multiple. now when the sun ukrainian army has left the area, why has the evacuation not got on the way yet? is it purely because of the shelling? well, yes and no of the ukrainian army might have left. they might have not ever been present in the city of maria, and here we need to make a very important look where to distinguish between the ukranian army. and so the so called a territorial defense battalion in the city of variable battalion is called us off and according to the next people's republic, authorities of battalion are using terror tactics in order to scare a peaceful civilians. now we do know for a fact that this as a battalion has a neo nazi affiliation. they've even been accused by the united nations of
1:07 pm
committing war crimes over the years. and they've been present and city reasonable for the entire 8 years that this conflict had been going on. now i worked in the boss, have been covering the conflict there for the last 8 years. and i myself, i witnessed the atrocities that were committed by the, by the representatives of this battalion as off and there's another one called i dar door present in different territories. it doesn't have to people's a republican. i saw mass grades, i saw the results of executions are all their uniforms carrying and nazi symbols. so quite a lot of people in the world, but certainly not enough and know about what not will this not see as all battalion is. so here's a clip for you take a look with
1:08 pm
while the problem with humanitarian car doors continues the so now do you for residence own to still have managed to escape. they've now been accommodated in a shelter, settled by russia and, and yet republic officials say at least 17 people monies to leave the city, say, for the shelter. here's what those who fled to say with the way, assist you with
1:09 pm
your pretty much everyone with meanwhile, the russian foreign minister said that all thought is in the city of a soul in ukraine self have refused to accept the russian humanitarian aid lover of also blamed about you pal authorities and the dani screech and for not letting local residents leave the area of via those humanitarian corridors. mosquito, very much concerned about this kind of hostage situation. the civilians are currently in. we heard from russia's foreign minister speaking at the press briefing with his caregiver counterpart. he said that the reason information that to local authorities in here. so in a big city on the black sea regional capital that just to recently fell under the
1:10 pm
control of the russian army, refuse to accept humanitarian aid provided by moscow. while the innocent civilians in another city of muddy or pearl again in the south, are not allowed to evacuate using humanitarian corridors. here is what mister oliver of had to say. did he go to printers? no less. who school ukraine schema did a good sharing? the talks between the russian and ukrainian delegations, it was announced that everyone satisfaction, that there was agreement on the creation of humanitarian corridors. we expect, or at least expected disagreement to be clearly implemented. our military did all the work expected of them. the main thing now is for people to be let out of the cities through the humanitarian codle's, with in which cow military provide security today information has already appearing on social networks that minutes republic has said that the murray, you pally or forty's, is refusing to provide residents with the opportunity to leave free the humanitarian color door, which was created by russian forces met to la rove,
1:11 pm
also added that the fact that ukraine's president mister zalinski so unhappy with nature's decision not to interfere in the war here, could indicate that he's been interested in provoking a direct conflict between the lions and russia. russia's foreign minister also complained that the ukraine inside is doing its best to postpone to, to, to delay. the 3rd round of these talks between moscow and kia for the ukrainian side never accepted any of the russian suggestions about when to have these never set up any day. meanwhile, i am in the city of atlanta. now the capital of logan's peoples, republican. we have been traveling a lot across the republic in the last 7 days, and we have been able to speak to local residents who have been suffering here in the last 8 years. and everybody told us that they are waiting for the results of
1:12 pm
these piece talks with high hopes hoping for peace. of course, here's my report. this is just yet the name of this town sounds exactly the same in russia and ukraine in languages. it means happiness in english, but it wasn't exactly lucky. it is on the very front line. it has been dramatically destroyed. locals even compare it with stalingrad, located near a river, or nestor t. juke high point chest here. so fears shelling, 8 years ago, dear in caves, so cold counter terror, reparation in this region, racing battles over the town between the ukrainian military and the army of de la ganske republic, left even more scars, beersheba. there is some sort of melee combat going on endlessly for a week. i don't know where they are shooting from. maybe the trees may be somewhere else, but it forces us to hide in the basement home to at least 12000 people a decade to go. to day the town is deserted and the lives of those who decided to
1:13 pm
stay seemed to have turned into quest for survival. he might cure is some kind of projectile stuck. i don't know what it is. i am not a military man, but if there were no pillars, 2 houses would have been destroyed. look, bust martial law has been introduced. there are road blocks with constant checking . i don't know how to live normally if you can't do anything and go anywhere as everything is mine. when we were in town, there was no electricity, no gas, no running water, no connection. if you shop still functioning close before noon, church services are held only on sundays. the shelling left one of the walls destroyed. it's cold and dangerous inside. it's hard to believe this place is habitable. this is a commendation for population and how to behave during war during shalayna. like find a conquered wall if you are outside a lay down on the ground, if you're in the field. and here with smart rad is not exactly a good idea,
1:14 pm
like wearing uniform, for example, or approaching windows for renewables. we're not leaving. but moving to another apartment where they're at least intact windows, it's hard to live there with them being broken. then you authority say work has already begun to repair infrastructure and provide security for locals. there is still hope that one day, the town so brightly named happiness can finally find it once again, roofing ocean a r t from chest year in the logan's gray public. in other parts of ukraine fighting is ongoing in the don bus region, the retreating, ukrainian army that allegedly destroying infrastructure along the way. that's according to the russian military. meanwhile, forces from the done yes. going to guns. republics continue to advance with the russian military helped us again. according to moscow, this unverified footage from the ukrainian capital shows
1:15 pm
a huge explosion said to be in the western parts of the city. air raid sirens are still being founded occasionally and here with authority, asking people at home and who footage from the russian defense ministry which claims to show forces advancing further in the key of region, while also strengthening the current position. i know for some more video, this time from color cove, in the north east of the country, which shows smoke rising above a residential area after an allegedly missile strike local authorities, se ukrainian and military has launched a counter offensive against russian forces in the region. while moscow claims artillery has been deliberately placed in residential areas, one of your interest and nick, yet another bridge has reportedly been destroyed. now it's not clear who is responsible, both ukrainian forces have allegedly being blowing up bridges across the country to hinder the advance of rushes. military locals now navigate the river on foot across
1:16 pm
the ruble of water, left retreating. ukrainian forces have also allegedly blown up a bridge in the republic of lou ganske. thousands of locals must now use boats to cross the river, and the hurried detonation has reportedly left traces of explosives on the bridge. he is russians. the foreign minister believes the volume is the landscape is trying to push nato into direct conflicts with russia. ukrainian presidents meanwhile, hasn't have back on his own good nate, so claiming the alliance will have blood on its hands for a jason ukraine's demands to implement a no fly zone over the country. at the sloppy salmon, the nato summit was a very weak and directionless summit. for 9 days. we've seen a brutal wars will they want to continue and help them knowing that a new strike is inevitable, nato made a consenting decision not to close ukrainian air space. actual from this day, those who die will die because of you too suitable against the zalinski still
1:17 pm
relies on the resolution of the conflict by involving nato in this whole story to go and not through negotiations. so it turns out that it does not hear the constant statements coming from washington, harris, berlin, and other capitals is that nato is not going to interfere in the summer clothes. and it turns out that he seeks to provoke a conflict with the participation of nato, between nato and russia, took history me to sprout zeros. well, earlier we spoke to south african politicians, tokyo sex quali, who says nathan involvement may lead to disastrous consequences. if the war in ukraine spills all right, this country is it. thus i am seeing that once that happens, then a door is world war city. we cannot allow that to happen. we cannot keep wave about that. it is our world. we are part of this group. we have got it say as well because when these what weapons happen, disputing of an actual or
1:18 pm
a nucleus will not happen. he doesn't juice, you know, what happened in ron long island? the in those these, you know what happened in immuno shima and like us like you it, we can see also what happened in some of it ends and of course the weapons shot there to be hypersonic weapons to particular they're all going to do. so is the same. ok, but you can see that one day with this pandemic, whenever it comes from it hit all of us in the world. the nuclear weapons, when the fire stick will, will achieve that. so why should they end up meant for fake the lead us must sit down and stop competing about who can apply more functions on this one, the actual picture of the work is done as well as the infrastructure. people must see done single of the children. meanwhile, president putin has criticized any talk of the west, placing nuclear weapons in ukraine, saying such news would quotes hold russia at gunpoint. the rest of these deals,
1:19 pm
they will build trays and they will also get them across the oceans. and then they'll say that we do not recognize the nucleus states, they will put these complexes under their control. and from this 2nd, from the very 2nd, the fate of russia will be completely different. because then our strategic adversary's will not even need to have ballistic inter continental missiles. right here they will keep us on point with a nuclear weapon and not say, how can we move past all of these are absolutely real threatened with not flesh nonsense and our eyes who are now fighting and laying down their light. was it an appointment for our future? you don't completely obvious a thing and people who do not want to understand this, especially those among the current leadership train, some of the stanley if they continue to view that they are cooling and the question the future of ukrainians. statehood, you got to do anything with era for employee. stress currently has no plans to impose martial law in russia. and the destruction of ukraine's military infrastructure is almost complete. they also know the different options are on the
1:20 pm
table for the demilitarization of ukraine, and all of them could be negotiated with kia, because in the ukraine views, russia, the military actions as an own, provoked invasion, calling for immediate withdrawal of all russian forces for the us ambassador to russia, warned washington that nato enlargement could provoke a response from moscow. the concerns were highlighted in the cable send for moscow, which was later leads by wiki leaks, ukraine and george's nato aspirations. not only touch iran nerve in russia, they engender serious concerns about the consequences for stability in the region. russia would have to decide whether to intervene a decision. russia does not want to have to face in the cable. the then ambassador william burns also said moscow won't tolerate its security concerns being ignored. also noting that the criminal believed the question of nato membership would divide
1:21 pm
ukraine. the ethnic russian community would oppose joining the alliance, potentially leading to a worst case scenario of civil war. earlier i spoke with mark slew border, an international affairs and security analyst who spoke of all the us officials warning about the exact same consequences. well, this leaked document is particularly significant because it is from a former us ambassador to russia, who is right now the senior director. but he is far hardly the only or the 1st one to address these issues of nato expansion eastward into ukraine. the dangers that presents as a what would be perceived by russia as an existential national security threat. and also threatened to destabilize ukraine, george kennan the father,
1:22 pm
the geo strategic father of the u. s. policy of containment against the soviet union said the same thing. a jack matlock former us ambassador to the soviet union . the last us ambassador to the soviet union, when it dissolved said the same thing. bill clinton's defense sex secretary william percy said the same thing. in fact, he felt so strongly about the dangers of nato expansion to the east, towards russia that he considered resigning over it. so the question is, why did they ignore all of these voices, these eminent voices in international relations and on russia doing it because it is perceived now to be to u. s. g o political objectives to expand into ukraine so that ukraine is no longer a neutral state on russia. borders at all costs. now sweeping sanctions had been
1:23 pm
slopped on moscow in response to his actions in ukraine. among the late this bronze to close stores on pause business operations in russia, i look for names including hermes, katya, and chanel bloomberg and the b. b. 3 are also temporarily halting the news operations here. while cnn will stop broadcasting in the country with a significant number of bonds on restrictions already in place, there are still many more promise to ortiz ilia patricia has been looking into that issue. russia is being punished to make sure moscow behaves correct. the sanctions will end if prudent ends this war and helps rebuild ukraine, re establish his peace and recognizes the country sovereignty and territorial integrity. so it must be that the sanctions have one ultimate goal to make the russian army and it's offensive and new grain once and for all. but lots of the measures put ford already in place, barely have anything to do with the be russian men and uniform,
1:24 pm
or the people in charge. i mean those responsible for sending them to ukraine. it's like we're what the thing a grand international cancelling russia contest where countries and businesses compete and how they're going to make things worse for russian soldiers. but why also russian cats or russian interior designers. otherwise, how do you explain a ban on kitty's from this country? at international exhibitions or the decision by swedish furniture trying to keep, to abandon russia house, throwing moscow out of inter paul and international police un go into help. today, canada and other close partners are calling to suspend russia from interpol. we're supporting this because we believe that international law enforcement cooperation depends on a collective commitment to the universal declaration of human rights and mutual
1:25 pm
respect between interpol members. it's up to you to judge if that has much to do with the conflict. it's unclear though, how tourism or air travel will make vladimir putin change his mind. but 1st, the world's major jet makers like air bus and boeing decided to freeze part supplies to russian airlines. then among the latest industry decisions was won by a texas based airline software. giant to end the distribution agreement with air flop. we're taking a stand against this military conflict, we are complying and will continue to comply with sanctions imposed against russia . it means air flawed flights won't show up on online travel agencies or other 3rd party sites. now, house bid for cancelling russia award. the likes of dizzy and hollywood studios have decided to put on hold their movie, releases in washing theaters and is banning russian paralympic in from beijing. 2022 wasn't enough for the russian army he
1:26 pm
a sports has initiated processes to remove the russian national team and all rushing clubs from a sports fee for products including fee for $22.00 fee for mobile and fee for online were also actively evaluating related changes to other areas of our games cancelling the russians in free fall for the likes of play station pool. be aware, well, surely the businesses are free to decide what to do with their products. in some cases with the latest sanctions, it may well be a matter of pride or solidarity, but it seems most of that effort will take install on ordinary russians, not the folks wearing camouflage or whoever gives them their orders. meanwhile, protesters have taken to the streets of bel grade in serbia to show their support for russia. the rally started with the russian and serbia national anthems and thousands in the crowd waving russian flags and carrying pitches of president putin
1:27 pm
. many of the protesters were also sharing unseen nato. sentiments in this comes as many ordinary serv still hold the memory of natives bombings of their country. back in the 1990s, a 7 gauge professor at the institute of european studies in bo great says that despite receiving little media coverage, protesters flocked to the rally as it was advertised on social media. really was not really advertised very much except for the telegram groups or internet websites that are really very small. the, their, their, their scope is not large. neither is their audience, but from word to words, from mouth to mouth, the word spreads. so people came in, great numbers, actually to support russia. and there is a simple equation where that is because russia was supporting for long 20 years,
1:28 pm
serbia's territorial integrity in the you. and when it comes to the course of all issue, russia was supporting and still is supporting the our resolution. well, 44. that guarantees are serbia started to real integrity and there is a. busy strong anti to sentiment that only grew over the years, which is why people actually know that these kind of protests are finger in d i a in, in the western. let's say we're media in the western, even a public. as another rally in georgia, protestors showed their support for ukraine. thousands gathered in the capital to make their feelings felt over russia's military actions. during the rally, ukrainian president zelinski addressed protested in a live video broadcast,
1:29 pm
