it, oh, you're watching r t international life from moscow. my name is peter scott. and welcome to the program as the conflict in ukraine and says it's 12th day. let's take a quick look at some of the latest developments. the 3rd round of diplomatic talks between care of and moscow is due to begin today in belarus, and of course will keep you updated on how those negotiations are progressing. meanwhile, moscow slums care for breaking agreement from humanitarian corridors as officials have notified people about those leading to ukraine and bella roost. ukrainian officials insist safe exit, which remain short as they believe. the evacuation of people to these dates is an acceptable and over in europe, energy prices break all time records amid sanctions against russia, with ukrainian president now urging the west to boycott the importer of all russian

oil and petrol products. there was a huge explosion at little guns called f o. early this morning, this on verified video shows a raging fire and huge plumes of smoke rising into the sky. local authorities blamed a ukrainian miss are stroke st. hit to fuel tanks, reportedly known was injured in the instance, our t correspondence, maria phenomena has the latest we here in lou ganske this morning, walk up from a sound of massive explosion were rushed to the window. to see this, you now can see black smoke, but there was boys before that as well. firefighters are currently working on the ground to fix it. and now we hear from local military authorities that the cities, oil depot was hit by. they say tortuga, you may say this is a high precision tactical ballistic missile that they say this time expired from

around the city of sarah that next some 75 kilometers from where we are now. this is where the frontline lies and indeed they believe ukraine's armed forces ard behind the attack, and they strongly condemn targeting civilian infrastructure. we haven't heard any common. oh, any reaction on what happened here in logan's from key of yet will keep you updated on that, of course. and all that comes at the time when civilians in other parts of the country are literally trapped in shelled and war torn cities. and it seems that to day they may have another chance to freely evacuate a rush as president wideman put him, says that russia and now says cease fires, tightened 10 am moscow time everywhere here on the ground and open humanitarian corridors afore innocent civilians to leave from the cities off kiev hot cove ensued in the countries north and the city of muddy who put on the black sea. and i

said another chance because there was another attempt to allow. * us civilians to leave these cities, but it didn't work. it failed. because shelley never stopped. and there was information that people were not allowed to use humanitarian corridors with both sides, both moscow and keep accusing each other of violating cease fire. but this time glide more potent says russia informed all it international organizations. and of course keith about this humanitarian effort and rush is going to use drones, many of them to provide security for civilians. and they really hope that it is going to work this time. meanwhile, here where i am now, lugens republic, a local army is continued to advance, as you said, add on some a directions. they have already succeeded around like 75 kilometers. and we

hear reports from local military authorities that they have already taken control over a like, around a 60 villages. and here's my report on what happens when the army here on the ground takes control over at town or a village fighting attacking, advancing, capturing ground. that's how the military moves forward. but what happens next is perhaps even more important clearance. this is what the army has to do in every village. they take control off, they check every street. every house especially destroyed to make sure there are no explosives. they come on tactic by the you credit armies to mine aries, they retreat from this one is already cleared. but what's also crucial is the careful tracking of those who remain civilians are of course, free to go. but all those affiliated with the military are detained for further

investigation. this is what happened to tatiana, a former nurse in the ukraine, in armed forces. that shiana hasn't seen her daughter in 5 days. that's how long it took for the la guns republic authorities to check and make sure she poses no threat. now the fighting has moved on. i fits on level. sure. sure. why in the salvation army crane failure to laneesa barrows, we proceed. let us be scared. don't stalls us will re to come when you would you, if sure yours or has done sketchily, your crew was it a shot? settled on you submitted a kernel and elegance, garmin personally return shiana to her family. apparently, this is the 1st time this has happened in your book, at least in logan's all prisoners of war. i said to be detained until hostilities are over. seek for new food review, little go dozer, loader souk, door number warner oscars. him took that historical new crystal clear because the keyword and you would,

it was additionally the more the church for most of which i'm a new when you look in your gravy, i'm on your phone, your crystal clear because on the play of yours was moses with your computer or live to what you thought. if you play them away, it was a shame release. it was the know it going good fuel. we've got a 4 by bought november, see that they do not everybody agrees that she has neighbors say she helped keeps military. so should be in jail. but yeah, i joined ukraine's army back in 2016 to make ends meet. they paid, well look, now she says she feels betrayed. dominique, spa solve my, you chest, me as possible. it does, but it does not come, can appeal, no growing sale. okay. yeah. and the customer was personally tim content that was written and would kill new slurs it earlier in which is your, what they mean in you. when you duty to suckering it disappears. isn't this lame

seem young chretien is not the 1st member of your friends military to address her former uniform colleagues with such calls. as days turned to weeks, there heard more frequently. but as the war in this conflict, weary region rages on, it seems such voices and not always heard murray phenomena arte from the logan's republic. and as the fighting continues in ukraine, russia's defense ministry says done. yet gallo guns forces continue to take more territory. thus, as russian troops are also advancing in other parts of the country, these photos allegedly show the aftermath of ukrainian army shelling of a civilian area in the didn't danielle region. 5 people were reportedly injured and a local nursery was also a heads. and to the ne harker has also been heavily shelled a markets was hits and you can see the aftermath clearly in this footage, they're also reported to fight the jets was down in the area with both sides,

claiming credits for the it's art. and so mon verified footage is purported to show a missile strike in the prosecutor's office on the t. v tower been a ukrainian woman whose husband was killed by armed looters was left terrified and injured. thus after the couple fled key of with a child for this summer house outside the capital, no throne has been treated for a gunshot wound in the city hospital of mosier in bella bruce or shallow. it seemed like everything was fine. there were no soldiers or military vehicles in the village, but they were nearby driving along the central highway. my husband went outside, closed the door and went to his neighbor to collect water from the well. he was then shot dead by 2 people. they were not soldiers,

but most likely armed looters. weapons are being distributed to every one. now. they fired at the windows and then climbed into the house. they looked around but did not see my child in me as we were hiding. they left through the window, but then fired back at the front door. the bullet hit me, and then they were gone. and over to bella roost now, where the russian delegation has already arrived for a new round of talks, which is due to start at 5 pm. moscow time the previous meeting resulted in an agreement on the opening of humanitarian corridors. over the evacuations were repeatedly disrupted, with both sides blamed each other facies fire violations. according to moscow authorities, 6 safe routes were opened, although key of disputes thus said nothing yagni variant. it's an unacceptable option for humanitarian corridors. to be open, we are people's, i'll not go from ivan. coffee, which is near key at to valor is in order to then fly by plane to rush at him. so i hope that the french president latrell understands that his name and sincere desire

to help the civilian population of ukraine as well as foreign citizens of china, pakistan, india, and many other countries is actually being used and manipulated by russia. as you said, the 3 of the greys gets an official response from the ukranian side was only received at 7 o'clock in the morning to day. however, the key, every shame deliberately didn't mention the opening of the humanitarian corridors to the russian federation from kia ca, calls, maria, pull, and sue me with citizens of those and of the residential areas weren't informed of the opportunity to save evacuation a tour. this is nothing but explicit cynicism towards their fellow citizens. meanwhile, in the ukrainian regions, these unverified videos show people waiting for evacuation roots of train stations in evolve and the upper petrosky, where they reportedly been forced to waiting queues for hours to flee the cities. russian humanitarian aid has continued heading to those in need in ukraine convoys

. parts with food have arrived in the city of kent, san as after is taken by russian forces. what's as our senior correspondent rod goes d of reports. some ukrainian nationalists have reportedly been trying to intimidate those, accepting help in all these areas now under the control of russian forces and where humanitarian aid is being delivered. we see the same scene being repeated. and now these hundreds, thousands of people queuing a distribution points were desperately needed food and had always, i'm full of spoilers appear most often with, with mobile phones to film what they're doing. they'll stand there and, and shout insults that brush on tube. so the masses queuing the desperately needed food. they then upload that footage to social media or friendly western media outlets to create the impression that ukrainians are against rush an aid. when it

couldn't be further from the truth across liberated areas of ukraine, convoys of russian aid, food and essentials, are an increasingly common site. hundreds of tons have been loaded and sent a ukrainian cities and communities on the verge of starvation. but some people, but rather she thousands starve and cues that stretch for hundreds of meters. you'll find them holding phones in people's faces. they are few in number, but aggressive and loud. i believe this is tame compared to what other ukrainian nationalists are saying. they want to hunt down any one starving or not. who takes baggy needed food from the russian convoys. don't i'm finding out toward you more. not hulu. they do those. the kinds

wallader is a born him to them. buick machine with a me. but on when he was i'm, it was been us up a little more to those because of all of them getting they are a tiny minority, the nationalists said, neo nazis. but they have enormous sway years of murder, violence, bullying, and intimidation. have frightened people to the cool few dare to stand up to them, but judge for yourself, for every 1000 people the welcome rush, an aid, only a handful, appeared to insult and scream. you just got that, jim. i want to st. all of the citizens of hers and that i wish them health, i want to thank you. we are very happy and grateful. oh sir. oh not that the buttons on the street. we'll have a supermarket nearby. it's empty. there's nothing in the store except sweets. there's a shout next to us. i stood in line there to buy 2 slices of cheese and a pack of butter. i gave 197 hiena. this are and thinkable prices. they're like

more doors. there's a crazy queue for bread. people cannot buy bread rushes impaired, the d knots application of ukraine has already begun at will likely be an intense process given how grave the security threat ease. just kilometers from where aid workers were handing out food. russian forces detained a man with explosives, farms and orders just goes with what is your rank? what branch of the armed forces? the 124th territorial defense brigade, head of military civilian cooperation. the threat of terrorist attacks, bombings and subterfuge were likely grew as nationalists and neo nazis hunker down and go into hiding. but for now, it remains a tough balancing act for russia. juggling the needs of the people and their good will. while for filling its goal, the demilitarization and de nuts of vacation of ukraine,

or i'd gas div from here son. you grade while amid pressure to strengthen sanctions from western countries, oil and gas prices have skyrocketed over the last few days that says prison zalinski calls for a complete embargo on russian energy exports. and he's not clear though, whether western politicians are ready to take that risk to discuss this and the rising price as i'm joined live now by don corta in our studio. don, what are the implications for the west of these huge energy price rises while peter energy prices are really just skyrocketing across the western world? and though in the united states, we're looking at an oil price that is just under its absolute record high from 2008 in the european union. we're looking at gas prices that have actually surpassed their record highs. we're talking about $3900.00 for a 1000 cubic meters of gas. that's $373.00 per megawatt hour. these are prices that

people would have said were apocalyptic just several months ago. so really got to look at what caused this. it was simply the causing this jumpy was simply western leaders talking about banning or oil imports from the world's number one oil exporter russia. and this import band has not even come into effect yet. and, and yet, and still the european commission is talking about putting forward policies that would make prices go even higher. let's take a listen to morrow. the european commission will table proposals on how to quickly get rid of our dependency on russian fossil fuels. this means diversifying suppliers, switching to liquefied natural gas and pipeline gas re powering the e u by investing and renewables improving energy efficiency. i think it goes without saying, returning to these energy policies that europe had before this russian military operation before these prices got to this point were actually it was among the main reasons for why there was an energy crisis that began late last year. and among the

reasons why european energy prices were among the highest in the world. as for american liquefied natural gas, i mean, it's important to note that anti blinking was just yesterday. he declared that he was going to discuss with europe politicians about possibly banding russian oil as well. so i think we can, i think it's pretty clear who is going to win out in a situation like that where europe in europe is buying american liquefied natural gas. and in connection to that, the us house of representatives is already putting together a draft bill to discuss an all encompassing band on russian oil. of course, among the biggest proponents of this is also the ukranian president. now she dares, if it was morals, if the invasion continues in russia does not abandon its plans against ukraine, then a new sanctions package is needed against the war. there should be a boycott of russian exports and a rejection of oil in oil products from russia. this can be referred to as an

embargo, or you could just call it a moral choice. it is necessary to cast aside fear and forget about commerce. both countries and companies need to take a moral stance. now we've all heard the strong words coming from the west in these leaders, but they've, there hasn't been an all out been on russian oil exports yet. do you think it's possible for western leaders to do this without catastrophic consequences, back home without catastrophic consequences? i don't think it's possible. i mean, we can look at what some of the analysts have been saying. bank of america's analysts said that if russian oil were to be banned entirely, we could be looking at a doubling in the price of a barrel of oil. we also heard similar sentiments from j. p. morgan's analysts, we're talking about the potential of a barrel of oil rising to $185.00 by the end of the week. and a really irrelevant example connected to this for why banning russian oil could be absolutely a terrible idea is the fact that shell oil just bought 100000 metric tons of,

i'm sorry, yeah. 100000 metric tons of russian oil. and the reason for that is because it said it had absolutely no alternative if it was going to avoid supply shortfalls. well, don't thank you very much for the updates on those spiking oil prices. i trust you keep us updated if any more information comes along on that. thank you. out. meanwhile, the german finance minister says he's against an embargo on russian energy imports . as he's concerned, there's no reliable alternative european stressing any such action will only lead to dramatic energy price rise and power outages also next winter was the flesh this out some more. we can cross life now to a key hammer, achy welcome to the international. now what exactly is causing this energy priced spike and water? the immediate complicated complication and consequences of it's in my point of view,

this price rise for energy of process fuel has been planned for ages already. so of course, the war in ukraine is, is a good, like, not to reason, but an excuse, but this has been planned for, for ages the reset program and the new green deal that they have implanted in the u and in the u. s. and so on for ages means that they want to get rid of all the old economy and going towards new economies where america is the leader in the world. so basically it's an attack on the gentleman who is to to powerful in the world. but this is ridiculous because if you don't defeat the rise of china by crashing the european, especially the german economy and, and they're the german middle,

then this is just ridiculous. this has to do with some thoughts. busy plans of the elites who have been doing that for ages already weren't right at this property for us. an apologies for interrupting you. that was a faith. do you think this will have on the use green deal? do you think it will be show for now until some stability returns to the markets? what i think gave by destroying the german middle then by these high energy prices, will destroy the enter european union because the european union has nothing else of plundering up against germany since the beginning. so when germany economy is faltering, all the other port to the french emperor, spanish, and italian, and so on and so on. so what we will get a, the big, big crisis. everybody wandered across the ocean and you know, new york and so on. so what we, what we would see now is that with nice price increases the, the entire financial system will fall apart. and i think this could already be the

stone that brings everything into, into a crash. while i'm talking of which we know the consumers in europe have already had to pay, you know, record prices over the winter. do you think this could lead to political or social unrest? yes, of the price increase already go to go to unrest in the population. that's why they, they try to, to make a propaganda on, on the war and blame for everything. russia, this will not help because afterwards the, the kind of system is falling apart and the huge amount of debts. and this is the big, the big bubble that has to be birth and all the american analysts and so on. tell it already for years. but this has to happen. ambitious, whatever. and of course, in the end of the day is unrest. it may be even civil war,

and this is exactly what the powers that be in versus what while i'm moving across the atlantic to america, with the petrol prices in the us, or the highest since 2008. and we do know there are upcoming mid term elections. do anything, the binding ministration is ready to take the risk of bonding russian oil impulse given the potential impact you could have over the i think so. yes, because everything that came from the administration, what not really thought prove it was run in my point of view or in my sense it was run by greet short term great and not thought to the end. so. busy i could imagine that they would try to make it up and the midterm elections are gone for the democrats, if the price is right and people are in the us, don't know how to pay that bill anymore. so i'm very, very concerned on the democracy in the us and now due to the sanctions due to

these things, we're not really necessary who are voluntary and i think they are planned for ages already, but not a well thought through. i think, well, economists, ag, hama, thank you very much for your inputs on those skyrocketing prices and the potential fall out of them. thank you very much. you're welcome. thank you. the washington post is claiming ukraine has been publishing photos and videos of prisoners of war and a bid to demoralize russian society. and many of the images soldiers corpses can be seen, burned, ripped, apart and mangled in wreckage or abandoned in snow. and others, prisoners are interrogated by captors about the invasion as they shake with emotion . some of the men sick, crumpled hands bound, eyes blindfolded with tape. i'm just not going to let you be a good well,

the apartheid sake is in the hope of fermenting unseat government. protests inside russia with the aim of shutting the country from within. the parties has been widely used since the starts of the russian offensive, yet the obstacle wants it could lead to unwanted consequences. the tactic also could be interpreted as a violation of the geneva conventions, which say, governments must at all times protect prisoners of war from insults and public curiosity. it could chip await ukraine's ability to hold russia accountable for violating international law. former us marine co intelligence office escort with a say such options are a violation of the geneva convention and questions with outside influence could be a play. 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 on yet, dear,

are ostensible allies, friends, people. we train by the way, who are violating international humanitarian law by abusing these prisoners in people's. it was a lot of really abusing. they're just, they're filming them. load of the geneva convention is quite clear that you do not expose president award to ridicule or embarrassment by filming them, and then putting that film out there so people can see. so i'm not surprised at the washington post did this. i'm glad they did it. and what i am surprised is that, you know, we, we see a situation where the ukranian government has been working with various u. s. government agencies. more than likely the central intelligence agency to run a very sophisticated information operation. trying to um, build up a myth around the ukranian resistance that, you know,

they hope will demoralized russian citizens in, in russia and also encouraged europe to rally of the conflicts has seen a wave of ukrainians attempting attempting to get out of the country. some of whom have managed to reach the e. u by bosco o fought for now it's germany, which has become the main hope for refugees. while countries like poland also offer assistance, many are unable to hold back tears and having to leave their homeland behind. over not every european state seems to have the alms open quite as wide fronts and the u . k. a currently trading bob's over who should look after those currently stoked in the french ports of calais? fullest lia looks at the west's reaction to the refugees. hundreds of thousands of ukrainian refugees are crossing to europe in what the you in cause the largest migration crisis in essentially and it's politicians have been quick to explain why the you should take them in at the end of the me list that if we had

these women, children, and elderly must be welcomed in europe. anyone can now perfectly understand the difference between the flow of refugees that is happening now and the invasion of young men, of military age and of muslim origin that have been launched against different borders of europe and attempted to stabilize and colonize it. if he is still in doubt, the corporate media dots, the i's and cross the t's is really emotional for me because i see you repeat on people with blue eyes and blond hair being heels. this isn't a place with all due respect, you know, like iraq or afghanistan says a relatively civilized are relatively european. i have to choose those words carefully to. we were in the 21st century. we were in a european city and we have cruise missile far as though we were in a rock. just talked to put it bluntly. these are not refugees from syria. these are refugees from ukraine. the more they are christians, they're white, they're very similar just they seem so like us. that is what makes it so shocking

ukraine as a european country, it's people watch netflix and have instagram accounts. war is no longer something visited upon impoverish in remote populations. surely a little racist for such progress of countries. not to mention the fact that the crisis is at least in part, down to the failure of western diplomacy and foreign policy. when assurance or africans on a boat. these countries didn't even try to integrate them. they reject even the chance that any one brown could assimilate. your skin is too dark. you couldn't possibly bosch, but this disparity is not only about racism. ukrainians, fleeing violence and heading to the west are refugees, while ukrainians, flynn violence, and heading to russia to seek refuge or just migrants, apparently, 2nd class citizens, despite looking the same. what about the bombing of yugoslavia? also a white christian nation comparable to ukraine? it was celebrated not condemned. in large part, because nato itself was the aggressor. just remember this and compare it to this

spot. the difference, it seems, the west is okay with dividing people between those who are worthy and those not worthy. it's not only racism, it's politics while concern for those are forced out of their homes, plays 2nd fiddle while that's her up for this hour. my name is peter scott and i'll be back again with more news and any developments of the ongoing ukraine conflict on those possible talks as well as of the top of the hour. thank you. ah ah ah, a.
