ah ah agreed humanitarian corridors around the city of mario full breakdown. a small number of people managed to escape that the russian defense ministry says by the far right of battalion prevented refugees from leaving. this is just the name of this town. sounds exactly the same in russian any credit languages it means had been in england, but it wasn't exactly lucky thought. the visitor town, which spent 8 years in the firing line between ukrainian and dom bus both as we speak to people on the ground ukraine's president slums nato's decision not to introduce the no fly zone over the country. as the russian foreign minister claims the lens is trying to push nato into direct conflict with russia.

and it turns out that he seeks just about a patient in between nato and russia. also in the program, a 1000 to take to the streets of bell grade in support of russia. while an opposite rally is seen in georgia with ukraine's president by a video link urging more people to protest against brushes, offensive. ah, you're watching all the international monies, peter scott and wherever you're joining us from. welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis with the war in ukraine now entering its 10th day lead star by taking a look at some of the latest developments. nato has rejected the idea of imposing

a no fly in ukraine in response, ukraine's president for the mid lensky, accused of the alliance of weakness. the un high commissioner for refugees said further conflict in ukraine may result in reversible damage on political and humanitarian levels. meanwhile, 2 german tv channels, a r d d f, a joint scene in bloomberg and then moved to temporarily suspend broadcast in russia. this comes as face fighting ukraine continues with losses on both sides. we'll be looking at some of those headlines in more detail ahead in the program. rushes defense ministry says more than 200000 refugees have been cut off from the humanitarian car doors. that's after moscow agreed on the sci fi with care of, along with the provision of a safe exit route for locals. ortiz ramon cars has the latest on that. they were agreed upon. now, in the talks between russia and ukraine, in a bill,

a ru says when all that was happening, but after humanitarian corridors opened up at 12 pm, ah, this is saturday. a rush of defense ministry reported that out of the 215000 people expected to evacuate from city sofa, murray, opal, and the city of all of our the neighboring cities. well, no 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 pool. but so those numbers are too low, like 5 here, 3 here. so not a lot of people managed to escape and it was very dangerous since these people, they made their own roots and really risked their lives. now, according to the russian defense ministry of humanitarian court doors were open throughout the day. people could saker an opportunity and leave, but unfortunately they said, ah thousands of locals and foreigners,

they're blocked in the city because the city is encircled by the searchers. are all 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 follow back along the agreed humanitarian corridors. muzzling at the residence 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, your group is new to the unwillingness of the ukrainian side to influence the nationalists or prolonged the 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 application to begin. and he said

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 russian army had begun. now, on the other hand, we had to rush in defense, but as free, who also made a claim that they have ariel footage, showing that there were absolutely no attempts made to gather its 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 murray whipple and buried at least $200.00 to a local residence in the rubble. now, once again, this is 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 pitcher of the situation in multiple. now in 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 to make a very important little where to distinguish between the ukrainian army. and so the so called a territorial defense battalion to the city of variable that battalion is called as off. and according to the next people's republic, authorities of battalion are using their tactics in order to scare a peaceful civilians. now we do know for a fact that this as a battalion has a neo nazi affiliations. they've even been accused by the united nations of committing war crimes over the years and they've been present in the city of maria

paul for the it's are 8 years that this conflict had been going on. now i worked 3rd in the don't 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 often there's another one called i dar door present in different territories and have people's republic and i saw mass graves, i saw the results of executions. i saw the uniforms carrying and nazi symbols. so quite a lot of people in the world, but certainly not enough. know about what not will not see as all battalion is. so here's a clip for you take a look with

while the problem with humanitarian car doors continues to. so now you for resident service to, to manage to escape. they've now been accommodated in a shelter settled by russia. and then yes, 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 associated with,

with with meanwhile, the russian foreign minister authorities in the city of get sold in ukraine, self refuse to accept russian humanitarian aid lover. i've also blamed about you pull authorities and done yet screeching for not letting local residents leave the area 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 at regional capital,

that just to recently fell under the 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 mr. oliver of had to say. did he go to printers? got a susco ukuleles scheme, a good, a good fit during the talks between the russian and ukrainian delegations, it was announced to 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 corridor walls with him, which cal military provide security today. information has already appearing on social networks that minutes. republic has said that the mary hugh pally or forty's is refusing to provide residents with the opportunity to leave for the humanitarian

corridor, which was created by russian forces mid to la rove. 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

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 fierce 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 stay seemed to have turned into quest for survival, you 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. book 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 closed 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 there a commendation for population and how to behave during war during showering, like find a concrete wall. if you are outside a lay down on the ground,

if you are in the field and hear what's marked rad is not exactly a good idea, 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 authorities 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. ration osha, r t from shes here in la guns republic. in other parts of ukraine fighting is ongoing. in the don bus region, the retreating ukrainian army is allegedly destroying infrastructure along the way . that's according to the russian military. meanwhile, forces from the done yet skilled guns republics continued to advance with russian military help. thus again, according to moscow, this unverified footage from the ukrainian capital shows

a huge explosion set to be in the western parts of the city. air raid sirens are still being founded occasionally and here with authorities asking people at home. and his footage from the russian defense ministry, which claims to show forces advancing further in the key of regents, while also string thing, the current position. i know for some more video this time from called a curve in the north east of the country, which shows a smoke rising above a residential area after an allegedly missile strike. local authorities said ukrainian 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 here. yet another bridge has reportedly been destroyed. now it's not clear who is responsible, both ukranian 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 the ruble of water left with you 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 russia. the foreign minister believes that the volume is lensky is trying to push nato into direct conflicts with russia. ukrainian presidents, meanwhile, hasn't held back on his anger, nate, so claiming the alliance will have blood on its hands. for a jason ukraine's demands the implements a no fly zone over the country. at the sloppy sammy, the nato summit was a very weak and directionless summit in this 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 to suitable against summer zalinski still 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 he does not hear the constant statements coming from washington, harris, berlin, and of the 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 politician tokyo sex quali, who says nathan involvement may lead to disastrous consequences. if the war in a new client spills all right, this can't, 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 ways about that. it is our, well, we are part of this job. we have got to say as well because when these what weapons happen disputing often actual or the nucleus will not happen. he doesn't juice,

you know, what happened in ron long island in the united states. you know what happened in your shima and i guess 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. the particular they're all going to do. so is the same as you can see, the pun debbie, which this pandemic, whenever it comes from it here, all of us in the world, the nuclear weapons, when they are fire food stamp we'll, we'll achieve that. so why should they end up meant for both 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 is what is the structure people must see, don't single of the children meanwhile, president putin has criticized any talk of the west, placing nuclear weapons in ukraine, saying such news would quote, hold russia at gunpoint. the rest of these deals, they will build up,

make crazy, and they will also get, hold him 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 this very 2nd, the fate of russia will be completely different. because then our strategic adverse theresa will not even need to have ballistic inter continental missiles. right here . they will keep a sudden come point with a nuclear weapon. and that said the spam, how can we move hospitalization, these are absolutely real threatened with knocking off that nonsense and our eyes who are now fighting and laying down their light. was it an appointment for our future? you don't need to completely obvious the thing. and people who do not want to understand this, especially those among the current leadership in 5th grade. so must understand that if they continue to do that, they are calling in the question the teacher of ukrainian state. no, you got to do anything with air force. employee stress currently has no plans to impose martial law in russia. and the destruction of ukraine's military

infrastructure is almost complete. also note, the different options are on the table for the demilitarization of ukraine, and all of them could be negotiated with kia, because in the door, ukraine views, russia, the military actions as an own provoke invasion, calling for immediate withdrawal of all russian forces for the us and busted its russia, warned to washington that nato enlargement could provoke a response from moscow. the concerns were highlighted in the cable sent 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 ukraine, as the ethnic rushing 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 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,

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 your grain so that ukraine is no longer a neutral state on russia. borders at all costs. now sweeping sanctions have been

slopped on moscow in response to its actions in ukraine, among the latest bronze to close stores on pause business operations in russia. i looks your name included hermes, katya, and chanel bloomberg and the b. b. c are also temporarily halting the news operations here, while cnn will stop broadcasting in the country with a significant number of bonds and 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 dispute and 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 in uniform, or the people in charge. i mean those responsible for sending them to ukraine. it's like we're witnessing a grand international canceling 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 sweetest furniture designed to keep, to abandon russia house, throwing moscow out of inter paul and international police. you am going to help to de 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

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 joined to and 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, how's bids for cancelling russia award? the likes of dizzy and hollywood studios have decided to put on hold their movie releases in washing theaters and if banning russian pair limpy in from beijing 2022

wasn't enough for the russian army he a sports has initiated processes to remove the russian national team in all russian 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 the 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 it stall 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 were waving russian flags and carrying pitches of president putin. many of the protesters were also sharing unseen nato sentiments. and this comes as many ordinary serv still hold the memory of nature's bombings of their country. back in the 1990s, a 7 gauge professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade says that despite receiving little media coverage, protesters flocked to the rally. i see it was advertised on social media. really was not really advertised very much except for the telegram groups or internet of 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 explanation where that is because russia was supporting for last 20 years,

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 our 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 the i a, in, in the western. let's say we're media in the western, even a public at another raleigh in georgia, protesters showed their supports for ukraine. thousands gathered in the capital to make their feelings felt over russia's military actions. during the rally, ukrainian president zalinski addressed protested in a live video broadcast,

urging them to bring more people on to the streets in a show of support. and just before we go, a quick update to our satellites broadcasting around the world from the express am 8 satellites in europe, you can find as it's r, t global s d over in africa, it's r. c global. and in latin america express a. m 8. at 14 degrees west. you can find a detailed guide on how to tune into as it's r t dot com slash where to watch. well, that's all for this hour for the latest developments on the conflicts in ukraine, head over to r t dot com. my name is peter scott and thank you for watching. ah ah
