saturday will be successful, very difficult, time time to sit down and talk with russian defense ministry accused as ukraine of allegedly developing a biological weapons program with the u. s. assistance. bushes military says it has destroyed another ukrainian air force base in the countries west is part of the militarization campaign. also ahead with local from southeastern ukraine, blame ukrainian forces for saturdays failed evacuation. only 300 civilians managed to leave today. according to the nearest public officials with both sides, accusing each other all these violations all over the place of

personal documents, ideas of ukrainian truth, military, uniform for parity. the soldiers here shook off these left them here and put on civilian clothing before mingling with civilians. in a chaotic retreat from their faces ukrainian service men leave vast amounts of equipment behind as they flee. rush is offensive. ah, coming to you live from moscow. you're watching our t international. my name is peter scott, on wherever you're joining us from. welcome to the program with the conflict in ukraine now in. so it's eleven's day. let's take a quick look at some of the latest developments. the russian ministry defense says it's found evidence, apparently proving the development of biological weapons components in ukraine, with assistance from the you,

a nathan weaponry and ammunition fall into the russian ministry hands after being abundant by retreating ukrainian troops. canada has refused to send fight to just ukraine. the local pilots are not trained to fly them. that's the key of demands more military supplies from washington and more sanctions against moscow. and speaking of which visa and mastercard has suspended the operations in russia. in the latest fall out of western companies, also a serious stalemate is occurring in several besieged cities. give accuses russia of indiscriminate shelling but moscow. blaine's ukrainian far right forces for using civilians as human shields are not allowing them to leave the human humanitarian car doors. the russian m o d has accused ukraine of allegedly developing a biological weapons program, assisted by the u. s. a spokesman added russian forces had apparently discovered documents concerning the urgent destruction of all traces of the program for the

union. during the special military operation, we discovered evidence of the key of regimes urgent destruction of traces of a military biological program implemented in ukraine and funded by the u. s. department of defense. we have received documentation from employees of ukrainian biological laboratories concerning the urgent destruction on february 24th of highly dangerous pathogens of plague, anthrax til arrhythmia. cholera and other deadly diseases. on february 24th. from all this i am joined live in the studio now by r t correspondent paul asleep will tell us what we know. so bob about this a legit biological weapons program. we've been hearing from the spokesperson for the russian ministry of defense saying that while they were conducting the operations in ukraine, they came across evidence that prove that there was a biological program being conducted in ukraine with the assistance of the american department of defense. now, among the evidence they found is

a whole cache of documents that they're currently reviewing, and they are analyzing and will release in the near future. but what we understand amongst those documents is confirmation that these ukrainian bio chemical laboratories that were close to russian territory were involved in this biological program. and apparently we talking here about pathogens of plague and threats to leverage to low remy air, cholera and other deadly diseases. at the same time, they seems to have been a major panic when the russian operations started in ukraine because there are documents that are dated february, the 24th, that call for the immediate destruction of any kind of stockpiles or any kind of evidence that pinpoints and shows that this was happening. now we know that obviously when the russian military operation started, they would have been panic in the pentagon to try and hide any kind of evidence. and one of the documents that has already been released i,

the russian ministry of defense, comes from the ukrainian health ministry. and it explicitly cause on all kinds of biological laboratories in ukraine to me, to get rid of any kind of evidence that they have. so this is the document and before we take a look at it, let me mention that the united states has so far not given any kind of response to the health ministry of ukraine due to the martial law that was implemented on february 24th 2022, according to the president's decree, requests to ensure the emergency destruction of biological pathogenic agents that are used to provide control systems for laboratory research. well, if proven what the possible legal repercussions of this development while it's in place in violation of international law, and more specifically, it is in violation of article one of the un convention on the prohibition of biological and toxic weapons. now,

will be back off to the 1st world war there was signed into law, the banning of these kinds of weapons because the 1st world war did show just how dead the they can be. and this was then reinforced with so the banning in 1972 and 993. and what those specifically prohibited was the transfer the manufacturing and the development and stockpiling of such weapons. what we do know, of course, is that diseases caused by these type of weapons are deadly, and they, they are not limited to national borders. so you talking about yeah, something that has an impact on the international community. so so me, it would be a situation where both washington and kids would be in violation of international law. well, thank you for bringing us the latest on that. paula. just keep us up to date if and when you get more information on it. thank you very much. we can cross live now to george galloway, former

u. k. m p. welcome to international george galloway. now back in 2003, the u. s. used assertions of biological weapons being manufactured as a justification for the the iraq war. now russia now accuses the u. s. of apparently helping ukraine develop such a program. again, the u. s. is not commented on this yet, or do you make of these claims? while you read my mind, these are weapons of mass destruction. and if true, this story is of quite devastating proportions, not only is it brazenly legal under international law, particularly the law governing the development of biological weapons. it is exactly the that the united states falsely accused the iraqi regime of having developed immediately prior to their invasion and occupation.

as it turned out, the round, no iraqi weapons of mass destruction. if it now turns out our american weapons of mass destruction brought all the way close to the border with russia. this puts an entirely new gloss on what has happened over the last 11 days. i was looking forward to all kinds of documents being found in ukraine about but is mine the oil and gas millions, maybe billions, the biden family and all the rest. but this is far, far more dramatic, far more deadly. now of course, it's is early days, this news is only just broken to day, and there's been no response from the u. s. yet over moscow's allegation. but what do you expect washington's reaction to be on the international community as a whole? it'll depend on how much actual evidence has been preserved. after all these

documents, we're telling people to eliminate stockpiles eliminate evidence of this blatantly illegal. dr. strange love operation, but if evidence did survive, if scientists and technicians will testify then it's bang to right. so i'm afraid for the united states should, if there was a free media in the world, should call into very serious question. just how much the u. s. has been using the people of ukraine using them of biological weapons dump, using them as, as a catch pull against the russian bear. and who knows what else might yet be discovered what next black presents. after all, these have been found in many parts of newly america, unoccupied,

eastern europe. now, of course, this is all very new and you know, a waiting for this to be confirmed more specifically. but what would the legal consequences of such a program be if it was conclusively proven? well, i'm afraid the international legal system in the end doesn't end up too much in the court of public opinion. if this was properly known around the world, people would be, i think, horrified, but russia will no doubt go through the motions at least of trying to force the international legal system to live up to its responsibilities in this, in a way. busy i finish where i started. iraq was completely destroy done. this still destroyed 20 years later, almost on false allegations of harboring biological weapons program. and then the united states is not found to have been developing biological

weapons right next door to russia. well, i'm almost speechless. well, george galloway, for me, you can pay, i'm afraid that's all we have time for now, but thank you very much for your input on that developing story or not into national welcome. now in other parts of ukraine fighting is ongoing. according to the russian defense minister, la guns forces continue offensive of actions while the troops of the done yet the republic of established control over a few settlements on the border. previously, on the key of control, the russian defense ministry is confirmed. the russian forces struck ukrainian air force base near the city of the needs. the local authorities have published this footage of a fire on the fields territory. moscow is said, russian armed forces continue to targets, ukrainian military infrastructure, continue in what it calls the demilitarization of the country. the defense ministry

assured this footage of airborne units in the key of region. meanwhile, humanitarian corridors in don bus were once again opened on sunday. thus, according to don't bus officials. now this video well actually shows buses heading from the west institute for georgia to murder you, paul, to take part in those evacuations. and yet, scores his claim around $300.00 people were evacuated before both sides claimed each other for a cease fire violation. saturday, safe exit routes were closed for the same reason, leaving those who hope to flee devastated a

buckling. meanwhile, some of those desperate to be evacuated decided to leave matthew paul on their own, including this 8 year old man who fled the city on foot. a little. sure, so with a 4 year old thing for, you know, school a so total new home for a new procedure to surgery with let's take a look now at the ukranian military base in a song region which russian forces have taken control of abundance. thanks. cause

armored personnel carriers and equipment which service men left behind while retreating can all be seen on senior correspond. the broadcast div is there when out a ukrainian military base in the province of kept so missed 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, and markie hood over there now as an arsenal. so small arms rocket propelled grenades, vase quantities of ammunition, also f, 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 of god is a something that nobody a nobody knows, they may have mingled with a civilian population or moved full that further west toward swear. the front lines on last certain ukrainian elements of their 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, morton ah rounds a tank shell along with with the charge. for example, in this protected depot are 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 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 more it is, it's ha, save here. these believe the at least the ammunition dubs that the they are mind that there are booby traps and explosives. the surprise for russian troops, president zalinski, has again asked nato to provide combat aircraft and close the sky above ukraine. thus, as the ukrainian government has accused russia of an all out invasion of a nato countries seem not to keen on helping ukraine, as they fear it might further escalate the conflict. ca, my zealous, there was a good in latin. the world has the power to close our sky from russian missiles from russian combat aircraft helicopters. if anyone still doubts, ukraine, needs plains. in fact, it's simple when you have the will to make the sky safe. this is not a nato conflict, and it will not become one. no ally has sent combat troops to ukraine. we have no

hostility toward the russian people, and we have no desire to impugn a great nation in a world power. the european union is definitely not at war with russia. europe ian funds will not be used to finance the delivery of combat aircraft to ukraine. meanwhile, by the mid person spoke to french president manuel, my crohn assuring him russian troops have full control over ukraine's nuclear power . plants is also stressed to his turkish counterpart. the operation ukraine will end. as soon as kiev stops fighting, saying moscow's terms must be met on stolen negotiations would be counter productive. present or to one said searcy, we'll do everything you can to help resolve the conflict. but earlier we spoke with turkish political scientists, eunice sewn, and he says, turkey has its own concerns over nato's military expansion. and thus, despite being a member of the alliance itself, we have lived here in to get through 3 different coup tops organized by the united

states. and its nato allies in 1971 in 1980. and lastly, in 2016 turkey faces natal supported the ethnic separate this organization, p k. k. in the north of syria, it is a contradictory both a situation for us being a native member, but being an 8 member, we have been threatened by by natal for the last 50 years, including with nature allies supporting tre organization's insights and along turkeys borders. this is not a conflict between crane and russia. this is a conflict between natal, expanding towards what i would call your asian countries. currently, it's russia, but tomorrow it will be turkey. and let us listen to what us present buys and recently state in his state of the union, where he and i quote said that the free world has been shaken. well, free world in that context means the world free to join nato and to accept us dominance within the alliance. so he's defending actually cranium, government,

freedom to submit itself to nato control and dominance. so this is a serious conflict and we are facing concerning the sanctions. the u. s. claim of the so called unipolar world. they are trying hard to organize this unipolar world . they're trying to, hard to organize, is insecurity in energy. they are intervening into global energy markets. they are trying to force everyone to sell strategic reserves of oil for instance. and they are trying to keep up the system going under their dominance and guidance. and we can simply measured their success by taking a look at the oil price or the gas price. they fail in that. so this is a reflection that sanctions are failing as well. and i think this is a profound conflict. it's, it goes well beyond. this is very important to acknowledge that this conflict is

about u. s. global dominance. and it's very contestants right now currently in a crate, but in other parts of the world as well. we spoke earlier with a former ukranian prime minister, who says president zalinski expose his country to a strategic danger by encouraging a us military presence in his own country. limited cleanser broadly to remove the americans have been conducting a huge number of exercises on a permanent basis. moreover, last summer they took part in practicing a nuclear bombing of the russian territory from the air space of ukraine for the fact that the key of regime had agreed to such absolutely provocative actions means only one thing. russia should launch a retaliatory nuclear strike on the territory of ukraine. meaning president zalinski exposed his own country to this strategic danger. the exercises were conducted not only by the americans, but also by the british and of nato countries. but none of its leaders have ever said they were ready to defend ukraine. that task was to drag ukraine into

a war with russia and to simply pull chest nuts out at the fire. i was always saying this possible to negotiate only with those who have the will desire and ability to negotiate, who have the opportunity to give orders to the troops. zelinski gave the command, but no one began to carry it out. they began to come up with excuses if nato had not been spreading so aggressively to rush his borders. everything could have been adjusted, and now the hatred towards russia is being inflated. if you watch any western tv channel, you'd be surprised by the madness of people creating fakes, which are then embedded in the consciousness of citizens. and then people are bringing to power some insane idiots. i have seen the level of european politicians degrading. they're getting crazier a more responsible and why they are responsible because those who choose to elect them have caught the wave created by the military industrial complex. as a result, nothing positive can be born from hatred. only war, which is a game beneficial for the military industrial complex. i would many western media less men now be too keen on here in russia side of the story. it seems there's less

concern about airing, the thoughts of a parent, ukrainian ultra nationalist. phoebe us news interviewed warner, local ukrainian may who had a blurred portraits of controversial far right leader step on bendara hanging in his office. now bendara was a nazi collaborated during world war 2, allegedly taking part in atrocities against jewish and polish civilians. b s interview with a ukrainian ultra nationalist with a blurred photograph of known and nationally revered in ukraine. nazi collaborator, sta upon bon dera, was extremely instructive because not only was this poster behind this ultra nationalist, that p b. s chose to interview, but the interview subject himself said that he wanted to crush the bones of russians and quote, referred to them as cockroaches. meanwhile,

some mainstream media journalists have taken sides by reporting on how to craft homemade weapons. molotov cocktail is, is pretty simple, flame going while it's thrown, and then when the bottle breaks that ignites the, the explosion. the man here was saying that there been using styrofoam in these to, to make it sticky. you can see is c, n, n correspondent understand cooper, presenting a feature on how molotov cocktails are prepared and used while others have taken a shed images on twitter. the highlights think the best way to targets russian vehicles with via bombs, all dots despite some states, as of ukraine's ultra rides being condemned by western states. back in 2015, the u. s. bond providing the us of battalion with training and ammunition due to its links with nazi ideology. the bun was late to lifted. and recently the u. s. national. public radio interviewed it's foreign fighters, chief. i'm the head of the foreigners fighters will come from you tube as over 30

on. this is my group and i want to make a tactical training with them. they're going to go to the front. so let's talk about the as our battalion, despite their new nazi affiliations, there are folded into ukraine's national guard. and it seems like a lot of people are coming. look on the come from bills. yeah, it wasn't something which includes even put in both of them come from united states, germany, switzerland. that was we sent in your group. we had them. it also labeled on the way or us media has routinely profile the neo nazi as of battalion, which is sponsored by the ukranian national guard and has been armed by the u. s. government. we know a lot about the as of battalion because of mainstream media coverage, showing it displaying neo nazi symbols, issuing fascist salutes, making homages to nazi war criminals, such as our romans. you cave it,

your step on bendara. we know a lot about them through us mainstream media and eventually led congress to issue a ban on arming the as a battalion. but now the conflict is out in the open. mainstream media is completely ignoring the seminal central presence of neo nazis in the field. and while the world focuses on the russian military operation, ukrainian politics of pits are become more turbulence in the last few days and opposition politician is reported to have been placed on an international wanted list by the current government charged with treason insert. the parliamentary deputy said he left the country 2 months ago, a fleeting political repression. just days ago, a member of the team negotiating the war with russia was found dead in kiev. shortly after the 2nd round of talks. thus, it's still unclear what's happened although ukraine security services have claimed he was a russian agent. prior to his death,

the head of ukraine's national security won't politicians from getting too close to kias miniature guards stressing they could be killed. i would like to say directly to the deputies of the opposition platform for life. if you wander around our checkpoints, they will simply kill you there. stay at home. earlier, we spoke to political analysts to meet you. bob is about to present zelinski reaction to the crisis and if he's still in control, august is not very successful, but it gives you the control. you log. you know, he's all security actions at the moment when the bad, the radio raging deeply inside your brain. he meets chopin in all the actor. at the moment when the country is decided, you may think it be or take your brain if you are being cool. we'll take

a war in country into your be and just position on the lane boundary ball. if you want me to go weeks ago, nothing now, i mean the why would be and he pronounced that one in the days over who did immediately respond to that then again. and then they disappeared for 2 hours and never mentioned the one again. and one of the members of the negotiating team, they were great and was shot there by you. great insecurity. his name was daniel dave. and it was the deal that he was an agent all the security service. so i mean, what kind of negotiation that we have ah, among the sanctions imposed on russia, those affecting the automotive industry with many companies subsequently forced to

hold imports on production. we have w for fog i mercedes are among those who have announced production costs due to a lack of parts of materials. they're also worried that global electric vehicle production will also be affected as large amounts of nickel used to make batteries comes from russia and the european jobs is also vulnerable and estimated. 250000 german jobs alone depend on russian carport exports. professor banking and finance, richard vernon says the you needs to adopt a more balanced policy towards russia. the impact is significant. it is very, very large. germany, of course, europe's largest economy is actually particularly badly affected as it is now hitting very directly the automobile industry before we really have seen the develop.
