a, with an attempt to open humanitarian car doors to allow civilians to flee ukrainian cities and with only a handful of people escaping after a cease, fire breaks down with russia, claiming the notorious, neo nazi adolf battalion was preventing people from leaving a lot more territories. come under the control of the dunbar made its 1st task is to make the area safe again for locals. party talk to people in the region to recall the hearts of yours in my house. i know it did because they were knocked out, smashed them during the explosion. the door's worth, man. it into the hallway and the fire started. if they hadn't been knocked out,

we would have burned with thousands of units of ammunition and vast amounts of equipment are left behind by ukrainian service when they retreat from the positions in this town. all over the place are possible documents, ideas of ukrainian troops, military uniforms. apparently the soldiers here took off. these left them here at court on civilian clothing, before mingling with civilians with a warm welcome to the news r and r t. my name's unit o'neill is just approaching 2 minutes past 40 am. you're in moscow this sunday with the conflict in ukraine now into it's 11 day. let's start by taking a look at some of the latest developments. russia continues efforts to evacuate

civilians from ukrainian cities through humanitarian corridors, but ukraine has voice, safety concerns, and rebuttal to the russian defense ministries, accuse ukrainian authorities of not allowing civilians to flee seeing their being used as human shields. meanwhile, the ukrainian foreign minister methods us counterpart anthony blanket to discuss military supplies sanctions on the international isolation of bruship and speaking about sanctions. visa and mastercard have suspended their operations in russia. or on all of that, i had an approved ukraine and russia are both think using each other, violating agreements to evacuate civilians from besieged cities and the spider. cease fire breaking down some murray alpo residents sub managed to escape. let's take a look at netscape republic, official say at least 17 people left the city in se ukraine rushes defense ministry

has repeatedly claimed the ukrainian armies placing heavy artillery in residential areas. but people then finding themselves coming under miss, i will strike the few that escape to safety are not being accommodated in shelters set up by russia. here she was those who fled even when you went credit union and i want him to a 1000000000 assisted you was actually in new jersey which is 3 progress. you're pretty much every ready of us

and bridges are being targeted in an attempt to hold the rush in advance. one in the loop guns republic was leaving thousands of lopez to only use boats to cross the river there. the ukrainian army said to detonate. it was another near kiev, and yet another was destroyed in the har. com, where you belong. russia has delivered hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid to those in need. here you can see footage from melli to oppose central square with a huge share. number of people look about standing in line to get supplies. the loo, ganske army is attempting to help locals in the times. they are getting control over as well. at thus mostly being the case in the soviet serbs region where our t 's. maria flashed and spoke to people about their lives under fire, which they are all hoping is know something in the past. while the army of the guns

cree public continued to advance more territories for under their control, these bridge over 7 ski denise caribbean is very important. a support overthrow change a growed. while the river itself was a border between the 2 fighting sides, back in 2014 cave courses, bridge completely out to crowd of the enemy. now logan's forces took it back and they can use it again. military trucks going both directions, carrying weapons, food, water, and people to the frontline. there are many trucks, but the road is still closed for civilians. as they retreated, ukraine's military mind, the area it needs to be cleared before anyone can drive through safely. the locals have little choice but to continue using boats to cross the river. this was ukraine's army fortification and the last several days they have become very active and fully armed. they were attacking milligan's forces. position is on the other

bank of the river fiercely. but once they felt they were losing it, they abandoned everything in a rush. but the couple of days of fierce resistance left the nearby village is destroyed. they are not quite ghost towns, but the horror of the shelling has left local residence, ghosts of their former selves. good, look there now. it seems like it all happened, not with us, but with some one else, but on the other hand were still trembling and it is generally scary. dearly walking in my house, you are doors and windows covered with blankets because they were knocked out, smashed the exit from the basement is also broken, and therefore, i can't go in there and take my groceries. all the sheds will also blocked the greenhouses with smash. bo, there's one on it is scary when shells are exploding in the yard area. there was one shell bursting, then another, everything was falling here and there i'm during the explosion in the doors were smash. they fell into hallway and the fire started. if they hadn't been knocked out,

we would have burned. but we generally ukraine denies using civilians as human shields. but local see differently. uh huh. the, what all this whole near us is a mock. the ukranian army put an old style infantry fighting visual here open fire . nearby left a smoke, bowman left the and then a projectile flew to the same place. i darted back in 2014, 8 or soldiers told us that if they had been leaving what they would have smashed us, subject to shelling and fearing death. these people are also starving. then you authorities have announced that humanitarian aid is coming here to this village. and people rushed here because there is a lack of food water. but not only that, everybody, he needs gasoline, but not for cars for dania raters, because there is no electricity here at all this yeskis soviet or as a village accountable. here, i'm going to register myself and my family for the exchange of passports. i've received. number $163.00 of them. yeah, we came to get some bread, but there's

a q. there has been no humanitarian aid yet, which you can never village. we have visit here. i noticed people move around on bicycles and local residents told me that's because the ukrainian army, when they were here, used to take the cars from civilians for their military purposes. so there are no cars left in those who still have some wills. preferred to hide it, the front has now moved some 50 kilometers from this village and the only military on the ground is the login's, gar, me trying to do everything they can to restore some semblance of normality as soon as possible. more if notion a r t from the logan square public. amidst the fighting footage has surfaced online where a blast burns through the night sky over from a tourist in the next republic. it's has been claimed that shows you printing err defenses shooting down a russian cruise missile. in while in the hearse on region,

russian forces have taken control of the ukrainian military base abandon tanks, cars armored personnel, carriers and equipment which service men left behind while fleeing from the scene can all be witnessed. our senior correspond roscoe's be of who's covering the conflict on the ground. there can tell us more. when out a ukrainian military base in the province of kept san this, the space was abandoned very quickly by ukrainian troops. there wasn't much of a fight here. they left their equipment, these are, for example, t 64 tags, all of them in working order. they're now being evacuated, die from here by the russian military, which is taken over where they are being taken we, we haven't been told, but again, these are our tags all. and it markie hood over there now as an arsenal. so small

arms, rocket propelled grenades, vas quantities of ammunition also left behind. you can see armored personnel carriers as well as all, all manner of trucks that have been left here. when all these ukranian troops have gone is a something that nobody i, nobody knows they may have mingled with the civilian population or moved full that further west toward swear. the front lines on where certain ukrainian elements of the military are still putting up a flight. and this is a vast ukrainian military field camp that was abandoned by the troops here from what we've been told there with 3 to 4000 ukrainian servicemen stationed here. none were left by the time the russian military arrived, as you can tell they they left in how tremendous hurry all over the place. apostles documents,

high dees of ukrainian troops also military uniforms. apparently the soldiers him shook off these left them here and put on civilian clothing before mingling with civilians and in the city or in the various villages near by this as i say, a sheen of absolute chaos. personal items are everywhere. we have also been told that that the troops here were abandoned by their own leadership, that they weren't made aware that russian forces were advancing. and they only learned this from my news reports and from conversations with locals. again, this, these play sees is absolutely was these tenths rows and rows of tense stretch for

hundreds of meters. his also a, a huge ammunition, a dump of the ukrainian military. there are crates packed with various i munition explosives all over the place. $122.00 millimeter mines more tar ah rounds a tank shell along with with the charge for example, in this protected depot. ah, even more explosives, for example, guided missile canisters rose and bruise of them as well as here. you have the the exclusive heads that amazes for mines over these crates. a t a

g, a millimeter more rounds and again, the stretches into the nice distance crates and crates of various bullets, mines and much more it isn't safe here. these believe the at least the ammunition dubs, they are mine that there are booby traps and explosives. the surprise for the russian troops. murat garcia have taken us through that not less than a day after ukraine's president slammed nato for its weakness. the us secretary of state travel to the polish ukrainian border to show support fricky of ukraine's top diplomat in turn demanded fighter jets and hinted that the blood of civilians may be on those who refused the request. the entire world stands with your friends. just as i'm standing here in ukraine, it's no secret that the highest, the, the highest demand that we have is in fighting jets to attack aircraft and air

defense systems. if we lose disguise, there will be much, much more blood on the ground. and i don't want anyone to share responsibility for their blood. well, to discuss what has been a lot of developments. let's cross live to scott ritter sconce or former us marine corps intelligence officer and is welcome to the program. ukraine is foreign minister just said there. if they don't receive fighter jets and or defense systems, they'll lose control of the skies on there would be more blood. but do they have personnel train for assistance? is it actually viable on the surface? no, i mean, you know, maybe there's a secret plan that um, that only is aware of that. but you know, i don't mean to be facetious because this, this is a horrible war and i don't mean mean to make light of it. but the fact remains that

ukrainian air force that you had existed operated out of fixed bases, where you had logistics facilities, maintenance facilities. you had trained pilots, trainloads, logistical people. you had fuel, you had armaments, you had the infrastructure necessary to sustain this. and this has been eliminated by the russian air force. for the most part i, my understanding is every now and then a ukrainian plane takes off a 2 to inject a new, a new air force, which is pretty much what the 4 ministers asking for a one. you'd have to source the aircraft. where are they coming from? um and to provide aircraft to how are you going to deliver them? because the moment the aircraft cross over into training air space or they become legitimate targets of war, who's flying them a ukrainian pilots? and are they armed? because if they're armed, when they cross the border,

a case can be made that the faces they took off and therefore a part of the part of the fight. and so i, i just don't see this is being anything more than a, than your rhetoric designed to embarrass nato, embarrass a europe. but there's literally no realistic of formula that i can think of that has a combat capable aircraft entering ukraine and being able to participate in a meaningful fashion in the ongoing combat operations. yeah, appreciate you printing all that done. thanks. got another aspect of its u. s. senator rick, scott saith the deployment of us troops into ukraine, cannot be real dot high realistic is that on. if not, why do you think he would say it? well, right now. fortunately, we have seen mines in the pentagon who,

while they are vehemently opposed to the russian action, i don't think anybody should ever mistake the inaction of the american military or even nato military, as some sort of you know, agreement that the, what the russians are doing is okay, they don't, they don't agree with this at all, but they also recognize the seriousness of the russian president's warning that any intervention in this action, you know, will, will bring out a very serious response. and so, so far the u. s. military is divided sage advice to american political leadership. president joe biden, and others have said under no circumstances. and they see american troops entering ukraine. but now we get back to reality. in reality, as politics, all politics is local, meaning that if enough people in the united states or in europe become enraged

about something and put pressure, then this option may be considered. and one of the things that might be happening over the course of the near future is the refugee problem. we have over a 1000000 refugees already flowing into europe. there's the potential for many, many millions more in this created humanitarian crisis. and if there is human suffering taking place over the border in western ukraine, there will be a lot of pressure in europe need to need to do something about it. and there might be a mechanism where unarmed humanitarian support is, is projected into ukraine to take care of these refugees. ok? we were supposed to have seen a ceasefire today. both countries agreed to let people lead besieged cities. but it never happened. i suppose in such a 10 situation, was there ever much hope it would have held one would hope so. i mean,

why i don't believe that the russians negotiated in bad faith. i believe the russians, every effort to make this a success. unfortunately, i also believe maybe the ukrainian government and the military forces that are controlled by the ukrainian government to make a legitimate effort to make this succeed. but there's this wild card in the mix. these, you know, the as of italian and similar battalions, the neo nazi affiliation. extremists who don't want peace, who, who are using humans as a shield to save their own lives. and as long as you have that kind of. busy like i said, a joker in the deck, i don't see how you can have a successful humanitarian evacuation because that's that, that it hurts them. if you remove the humans, you remove the human shield and then there will be open for

a peaceful destruction. and the washington post has published an article with concerns over the ukrainian treatment of prisoners. are you surprised to see something like that emerging in the mainstream western? i thought not being talked about? well, i don't think anybody in the united states who is familiar with the law of war is, is shocked that we would bring this up. i mean, as you know, we don't have to support the rush in action to understand that any abuse or maltreatment of russian prisoners war by ukrainian forces is a violation of international law. i mean, we, we spend a lot of time accusing russia, violating international law, and yet here are sensible allies, friends, people. we train by the way, who are violating international humanitarian law by abusing these prisoners. and people say, well, they're not really abusing, they're just there. fill me the mo,

the geneva convention is quite clear that you do not expose president award to ridicule or embarrassment by show me them. and then putting that film out there so people can see. so i'm not surprised to washington posted this, i'm glad they did it. and what i am surprised is that, you know, we see a situation where the ukranian government has been working with various u. s. government agencies, more than likely the central intelligence to run a very sophisticated information operation, trying to build up a mis around the ukrainian resistance that, you know, they hope will demoralize russian citizens and, and in russia. and also encouraged europe to rally. and yet part of this appears to be this, this use of. busy images of russian prisoners of war to demoralize their mothers to

depart, allies, russian citizens, have us government to be involved in, in facilitating what is a violation of the geneva convention. no violation of the laws of war would be deeply disturbed. a very interesting point to, to end. and scott, thanks so much for coming into program on talking this through all the scott ritter, former us marine corps intelligence officer. thank you. ok. well, as the dramatic scenes and ukraine keep on falling, many count raptor heads around why this has happened in the 1st place. our teeth fall asleep has been delving into the roots of the conflict for us. i am angry at this evil act by this evil leader attacking an innocent nation, a democratic nature. he wasn't just threatening ukraine, that significant enough, but he seemed to be challenging that the post cold war order,

mainstream media narrative is self evident. you could be forgiven for thinking that that conflict began last week, but the timeline leading to this conflict is longer, in the short term western states, weaponized to crane on russian borders. explaining it as a response to russian military maneuvers on its own territory. later has started exploration, dec military technical exploration of ukraine. now, it's not possible for us to swallow. you said that there is no space for us to do that. he has just all the russian federation. moscow's requests for security guarantees from the u. s. a. nato, with numerous, their concerns seemed reasonable at the very least. halting the military alliance as relentless expansion to russian borders and the deployment of myths health systems and other military infrastructure in the region. the requests fell on deaf ears. mother nieto moves its forces to our state borders while we strictly fulfilling the agreement that can not react these action is in any way. i think

it's clear that nato enlargement process has nothing to do with modernizing its alliance or ensuring the security in europe. summer. williams in the air to motion to suicide, see these central concerns of ours that were unfortunately ignored. and the response is received on january the 26th from the united states and nato. in the absence of the readiness of the american side to agree on firm legally binding guarantees of ensuring our security by the united states and its allies, russia will be forced to respond, including through the implementation of military technical measures. washington was adamant in its own support of nato's open door policy. even though the apparently defensive alliance was from the very outset, aimed against russia back then, the ussr. so if criminal ends aim is to have less made honest borders. it will all get more natal. this appeared to be a $180.00 degree turn around a former agreements. here's

a map of nato members in 1990 and in 2022. so the promises were broken not once, not twice, but 14 times. that's how many countries have become nato members since the ninety's . yet now, nato and co chaired on by the mainstream media. pretend like they were no promises at all. i would like to state once again that neither the 2 plus for agreement nor the needle russia founding act contained promises to russia. that needle would not expand to the east. the 2 plus for agreement does not mention this issue at all. and any statements to the contrary, do not correspond to reality. is that written down? where is that promise written down? it's actually right here. the minutes of march 6th, 199 to one meeting and bond between political directors of the foreign ministry of the u. s. u. k, france and germany. we had made it clear during the 2 plus 4 negotiations that we would not extend nato beyond the l. we could not therefore offer poland and others membership in nato. is it any surprise that moscow has become distrustful all at

once? it was a document with a legally binding security guarantees, but it seems that the west was never interested in this the same way. it was never interested in keeping its promises to forced ukraine to implement the men sca cords here played decentralizing reforms to provide bored autonomy to the eastern regions that cleared independence in 2014. instead key of launched what a called an antique terrorist operation in the breakaway republics. ah ah, the fact that over 14000 people were killed in the don bye since 2014 didn't seem

to concern or to be noticed by the international community. the west also closed its eyes to the fact that many of the volunteer battalions accompanying the ukrainian military in a fight against the rebels. had nationalist backgrounds. ah ah! after years of stalemate and suffering, the don bus republics requested rushes help in putting an end to what they perceived as ukrainian military aggression. russia seized the military operation as a defense of these people. of course, the west narrative is one of aggression, despite their own military interventions in iraq, syria, afghanistan, and serbia, to name just a few. as us outlets cover russia's talk when ukraine,

remember how these same outlets cover u. s. attacks when the u. s. bomb syria in 2017 m. s. m. b c's, brian williams called the footage of the stroke. beautiful. he then quoted lena cohen, i am guided by the beauty of our weapons. cnn's for reads a car, it was simply enthusiasts about trump's attack on syria. i think donald trump became president of the united states last night. he talked to our international norms, industrial rules about america's role and enforcing justice in the world. all of us, including the iraqi people, are going to be very fortunate. did i think was the smartest thing george bush did? why would we intervene and libya because it be the right thing to do? because people are dying for altruistic reasons. this is, as i said, a consequence of a consistent pattern of violations of international law by us, by the united states and by nature, i 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 life, where the west and with the e. one we have here a problem of on information war in which the level of why the level of fake news and fake history on the wall has reached such points that people cannot talk to each other. okay, just before we go, a quick update on where to watch and how indeed to watch our see right now around the world's r t dot com slash where to watch is the place to go for a detailed guide on how to choose your satellite receiver to reach our signal, we're available in europe. i forget latin america, of course,

head on line for me and that is around you again and 30. this is our team the with there is a strong pressure or need to, to get involved in this conflict. in the more act to wait, something more than just supply reference to ukraine and sharing intelligence information or with the, with the plan you authorities. so, for instance, under the discussion about an old flight rule over you. great. and even need to try to have such an all flood zone.
