one minute past 5 in the morning here in moscow and this the 1st sunday of march. i'm you know neil, welcome to the news. our with the war in ukraine now into it's 11th day. let's take 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 a rebuttal to the russian defense ministries, accuse ukrainian authorities of not allowing civilians to flee saying they're being used as human renewal. the ukrainian foreign minister met saves us counterpart anthony, blinking to discuss military supply sanctions and the international isolation of russia. speaking of everyone and mastercard, both suspended operations in russia. not the lu ganske army claims it has advanced more than 100 kilometers since the start of it's

offensive on his taking control of iran. 60 settlements ortiz, maria phenomena visited, one of them to talk to locals about their experience of life under fire. while the army of delegates cru, public continued to advance more territories fall under their control, these bridge over 70 ski danielle scriver is very important. it's part over 3 take jig road. while the river itself was a border between the 2 fighting sides back in 2014 cave courses, bridge completely out to kind of the enemy. now, logan's forces took it back and they can use it again. military trucks go in both directions, carrying weapons, food, water, and people to the front line. 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 hand 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. you walk in my house, the doors and windows are covered with blankets because they were knocked out, smashed the exit from the basement is also broken, and therefore, i can go in there and take my groceries. all the sheds will also blocked the

greenhouses with smash. bo those on on it is scary when shells are exploding in the yard. there was one shell bursting, then another. everything was falling here and there i'm during the explosion yet the doors were smashed. they fell into hallway and the fire started. if they hadn't been knocked out, we would have burned. but wait, you lose ukraine denies using civilians as human shields. but local see differently . aha, the what all this whole near us is a mock. the ukranian army put an old style infantry fighting vehicle 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 work 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 dinner. waiters because there is no electricity here at all. is this the of ski severe as a village of council? here i going to register myself and my family for the exchange of passports. i've received number 163, and if we came to get some bread, but there's a cube, 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 ukranian army, when they were here, used to take the cars from civilians for their military purposes. so there are no cars left and 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 de logan's, gar, me trying to do everything they can to restore some semblance of normality as soon as possible. more if notional r t from the login's, great public ukraine on russia are both accusing each other of violating agreements

to evacuate civilians from the siege cities. despite of ceasefire breaking down, some marie awful residence had managed to escape done yet. republic official, sadly 17 people left the city in se ukraine rushes defense ministry has repeatedly claimed the printing army is placing heavy artillery in residential areas. people then find themselves coming under miss armstrong. the few that escape to safety are not being accommodated in shelter. setup virus you wouldn't want to use my local wanted him to a 1000000 associated with your in your job,

which is pretty much several more or the radio or bridges are being targeted in an attempt to hold the russian and months one in the loop guns republic was head leaving thousands of locals having to use boats to crash the river there. the ukrainian army said to a detonated another bridge near kiev, while one was destroyed in the region. and some people who knowledge to flee from that area to russia that got destroyed bridges were just one of the our village is generally cut off as bridges. we have a small child feeding, but all pharmacies are closed and there is nothing anywhere near when everything is closed and you're not allowed to leave the house at all. there's no chance of staying there. you that concern the crystals are flying from the ukrainian side of

the fire with rocket launchers. only rainy and military themselves are trying to stand next jar houses that the return fire comes towards residential buildings for those of them. the you many, an army stood near the house and started shooting. when the russians responded to the missiles hit the house. they were standing right behind the fence. yesterday, 2 houses were burned down on my street. you test to me from people fleeing that region, no less than a day after ukraine's president's slum nato fritz quote. weakness in the u. s. sectors. they travel to the polish ukrainian border to show support for kia, ukraine's top diploma in turn, demanded fighter jets, and hinted that the beloved civilians may be on those who refuse the plea. the entire world stands with ukraine. just as i'm standing here in ukraine, it's no secret that the highest, the, the,

the highest demand that we have is in fighting jets, 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, former us marine cord intelligence officer, scott ritter told me the problem of providing ukraine road fighter jets is a bigger one. and it seems, amy, there's a secret plan that does that only ease aware of um, 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 the ukrainian air force that you had existed operated out of fixed spaces, where you had logistics facilities, maintenance facilities. you had trained pilots train loads, 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, i, my understanding is every now and then a, a ukrainian plane takes off a 2 to inject a new, a new air force, which is pretty much what the for ministers asking for a one. you'd have to source the aircraft where 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

europe. but there's literally no realistic a formula that i can think of that has combat capable aircraft entering ukraine and being able to participate in a meaningful fashion in the ongoing combat operations. scant richer amidst the fine thing footage has surface showing and blast burning through the night sky. over from a thorsten in that and yet republic it's been claimed. it's ukrainian ur defenses shooting down a russian cruise missile will ammunition communication equipment on uniform supplied by nato countries. you can see when ensures here were among the items left behind by ukrainian service men when they retreated from hark, called the russian military also sees than anti tank missile system or similar scenes in the horizon at region where russian forces to control of ukraine in

military base or senior correspondent rock as the of who's now on the ground. there can tell us when out a ukrainian military base in the province of here saw missed these base 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 there 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 in working order over there, there's 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 where all these ukranian troops of

god is a something that nobody and nobody knows. they may have mingled with the civilian population or moved for the further west. toward swear, the front lines our way at certain gradient, elements of their military are still putting up a flight in all dozens of tanks and armored personnel. carriers were abandoned here, along with repair keats and spare parts being towed and stored elsewhere, pending a decision on what to do with them, that done adviser of novels and all go to the 60 units of military equipment in 40 units of ahmed weapons were found at the base also at the base a storage facility with ammunition was found about $4000.00 tons. another armored personnel carrier of the ukrainian military that was abandoned here also in full working or does our most vehicles here a we've been told. but just to give you an idea of how chaotically are the ukranian

troops, he abandoned this place. we have entire trucks filled to the brim with personal belongings of soldiers that have been left behind. we've been told not to touch too many things here, though, though it is unlikely, it is still possible that ukrainian troops left behind, for example, booby traps or mines, but again, unlikely because of how quickly they, they abandoned this military base. and this is being seen scenes like lisa being reported from all over ukraine, from areas that have now been seized by ukraine by russian forces written them, or when authority was only seal glaylock. apparently, the military personnel of the unforeseen crane was misinformed and abandoned by their commanders. because according to what it looks like here, all the military personnel just fled this equipment here, this in good shape and could be used by them for leaving. and i believe now was abandoned to the salesman party, dispersed the homes,

which most lightly indicated that no one wants to fight, and they're probably being forced to do this. animals though, that the model, the space was vos, an estimated 6 or 7 square kilometers housing, thousands of troops from all sorts of services, from engineers and supply crews to marines and special forces. none state to fight . and this is a vast ukrainian military field camp that was abandoned by the troops here from what we've been told. there were 3 to 4000 ukrainian serviceman 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 are personal documents i. d, 's of ukrainian troops, also military uniforms. apparently the soldiers here 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, 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 voices 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. the arms deposed. dotted around the base, off testament to the may hammond anaki that unfolded here.

$4500.00 tons of ammunition. that's 4 and a half 1000000 kilograms of armaments were left behind. they were neither destroyed nor sabotaged by deserting ukrainian troops, which they would have been had any semblance of order remained. his also a, a huge ammunition. 7 dump of the ukrainian military. there are crates, packed with various i munition explosives all over the place. 122 millimeter mines. morton ah rounds a tank shell along with with a charge for example in this protected depot. are even more explosives, for example, guided missile canis those rows and rows of them

as well as here. you have the the exclusive heads that amazes for mines of the, in these crates. 8080 millimeter more thought rounds. and again, these stretches into the news distance crates and crates of various bullets mines and much moisten. ha, save here. these believe the at least the ammunition dubs that the they all mind that they're all booby traps and explosives. the surprise for russian troops since day one of the russian operation, ukrainian servicemen were offered and encouraged by moscow to lay down their arms and returned to their homes and families. we are not here for you, the russians said, don't throw away your lives fighting for nationalists and neo nazis. more and more

ukrainian troops up taking the offer and seating these particular fight out or at gas d of from have san ukraine. k, something else. interesting that bring you a former us ambassador to russia, warned washington years ago that nato enlargement could provoke a response from moscow. the concerns were highlighted in the cables sent from moscow, which was later leaked by wiki licks ukraine, and george is 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 diplomatic telegram, the venom boston william burns also said moscow won't tolerated security concerns being ignored out in the kremlin. believe the question of nato membership would

divide ukraine as the ethnic russian community, their holy opposed joining the alliance, burns concluded it could potentially lead to civil war. earlier on the program international affairs ellis marks the buddha told us he believes other us officials have continually been warning about the 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 for 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, 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 the ukraine is no longer a neutral state on russia, borders at all costs. and i say dramatic scenes in ukraine keep on falling. many

are simply trying to wrap their head around why it's all happening in the 1st place . with an explain are in that regard of the roots of the conflict. here's hard to policy or 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, the 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 of 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 is just only a russian for eurasia. moscow's request for security guarantees from the u. s. and

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 missile systems and other military infrastructure in the region. the requests fell on deaf ears. mother, with nato moves its forces to our state borders while we strictly fulfilling the agreement that can not re i go these i can use in any way. i think it's clear that nato enlargement process has nothing to do with modernizing his alliance or ensure the security in europe, from a williams or even the emergency precisely the 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 a phone 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 a criminal ends aim is to have less laid on its borders, it will all get more on april. this appeared to be a $180.00 degree turn around a former agreements. here's a map of nature, members in 1990 and in 2022. so the promises would 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 nato 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 1991 meeting and bond between political directors of the foreign ministries 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 wanted 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 force ukraine to implement the minster cords . key of pledge decentralizing reforms to provide bored autonomy to the eastern regions that declared 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 children, 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 stale mate and suffering,

the don bus republics requested rushes help in putting an end to what they perceived as ukrainian military aggression. russia sees 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 on ukraine, remember how the same outlets cover u. s. attacks when the u. s. bombs, 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 trumps. to talk 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 say, a consequence of a consistent pattern off by a license of international law by us, by the united states, and by nature, by saying that it would have been super easy for the western powers. ah, 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. right. just before we go

a word and how you can watch our tea right now around the world, because there's being one or 2 questions about that. all the ways are late. i've had r t dot com slash where to watch, including how to choose your satellite receiver to reach are single, are available in europe, africa, lot number account, right across the globe that way to head to our website for the full load. and that is where we leave unusual up for now, but stay close. it says more great programs get going in moment. see what showing where you are. oh i.
