all your civil crane. also in the program gas and oil prices jump to record highs and mid western threats to could rush or off from their markets. ah, you're watching arts international. my name is peter scott. i'm ready joining us from welcome to the program. as the conflict in ukraine entered his 12th day, let's take a quick look at some of the latest developments. the 3rd round of diplomatic talks between kevin moscow has just come to a close in bella. ruth will keep you updated on any information we receive on how those negotiations went on. meanwhile, moscow slums kia, have seen it, is broken agreements on humanitarian corridors. it claims ukraine and officials didn't notify people that they can now safety leave by those leading to russia and

belarus. ukraine officials insist safe exit routes remain short as they believe. the evacuation of people to these dates is unacceptable. and in europe, energy prices break all time records amid sanctions against russia, with ukrainian presidents now urging the west to boycott the importer of all russian oil and petro products. however, the german chancellor has just defended decision to maintain energy supply from russia to the european union. a huge explosion wrought a loo, ganske oil devil. early on monday morning, local authorities blamed a ukrainian missile strikes in its head to fuel tanks, reportedly known was injured in the incidents ortiz correspondent, maria financial. how's the latest we hear in lugens this morning woke up from a sound of massive explosion. we rushed to the window to see this you now can see black smoke, but there was boys before that as well. fire fighters are currently working on the

ground to fix it. and now we hear from local military authorities that to the cities. oil depot was heat by. they say tortuga, you may say this is a high precision tactical ballistic missile that they say this time was fired from around the city of sarah that net 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. meanwhile, here where i am now, lugens republican local army is continued to advance as you said, and on some 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 60 villages. and here's my report on what happens when the army here on the ground takes control over a 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 ukrainian armies to mine areas. 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 logan square public 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 stall just will re to cook. when would you? if sure jojo has done sketchily. okay. was that a shot? settled on you submitted a kernel and elegance, garmin, personally with her since ya 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 her new bird grubby, little co, dozer loader souk, door number warner oscars. him took the test over pony crystal clear because the keyword annual that was additionally the more feature for was a butcher. my new when you look in your gravy, i'm on your phone, your crystal clear because almost play of yours was moses with your computer or

live to what you thought. if you put them away, it was a shame release. it was the no, it's not going to school will settle for my book not familiar spicy, but they both. not everybody agrees that janice, 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. thorn, meaning spa solve my you chest, me as possible. if there's periodontal stood for communism. parental law is growing . so gray in our sample scholarly tim content that was listed and would kill near slurs it earlier in which it your what they mean in, you know, duty to for her. i need to see business lame seem young, but she on is not the 1st member of you 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 are not always heard. murray phenomena artie from the la guns republic unders fighting continues in ukraine. russia's defense ministry says done yet. gun la guns forces continue to take more territory that says russian troops are advancing in other parts of the country. or the 3rd round of talks between russia and ukraine just finished moments ago. let's hear from the head of the russian delegation on the results. a complicated affair, so we cannot speak of free or anything but so far. but we came with a move from 0 to country, a bulk of a written documents with a specific contracts,

agreements and treaties and proposals. and we hope that those points and those items that we had already have come arrangements about how we hope that we will be able to sign the civic agreements. but the planning side took those documents home with them. i mean, they weren't able to sign anything on the spot and they said, we would just go back to this issue at our next meeting. so our expectations of these negotiations or should i submit submit to deal with will not fulfilled. but we hope that next time will make a more substantive step forward and continue the talks. which does anyone want to say anything else? i will say a few words these difficult partners and we had

an idea of how it would be and of course, we did want to put the grid over to reach specific shit arrangements. today, at least 3 stephen with regard to the topics we had already discussed. it was news that we wanted to go back to moscow with a specific results on the key topics. on our agenda, we see that flores, this is turning out, it will difficult. so these talks will be continued at a swift pace the solution showed you and we will not have any illusions that we will have a final result at the next step further, which it will be a difficult work with you and to do it will be mostly college step by step for your group projects. and we of course,

do not hope that our counterparts will take of use very similar to ours at once. who are these consultations will not be easy? but as mr. minsky, head of delegation, said the key issue is humanitarian corridors. thousands of people waiting. it was in mary paul involve aka. they're waiting for an opportunity to save their lives, the lives of children and parents, and those who shoot at them and don't give them space. we don't give them the opportunity to use these humanitarian corridors. those people were off hatteras. those are people who lose 4 civilians as living shields. we went to the books and we had a detailed discussion today portraits on this topic. we'll look at the church and i'd like to thank the leadership of the russian research. and i would like to

express my hope that the 3rd attempt to bring the people out will be more successful than me. we had a detail discussion with a specific geographic names and approaches outlined. so we hope that serve the next attempts to bring people out who will be carried out shortly, unsuccessfully. thank you. well, unfortunately, no significant breakthroughs. after the 3rd round of talks between the moscow and kia negotiating teams in bella russo both hope express that there will be some progress coming towards or these photos allegedly show the aftermath of a ukrainian army shelling of a civilian area in the den. yes, region 5 people were reportedly injured to local nursery. it was also heads on to

the north east car curve has been heavily shelled a markets was hits and you can see the aftermath quite clearly. in this footage, there are also reports that is a fighter jets was down in the area with both sides, claiming credits for the attack. and someone verifies footage is proposed to show a missile, striking the prosecutor's office on the t. v tower. the russian defense ministry has shared this footage of what it claims to be abandoned to positions of key of forces. authority say these are destroyed ukrainian armored vehicles as well as fortified areas, dugouts and concrete bunkers. ukraine on the west view. russia's military actions as an unprovoked all our invasion and they are calling for the immediate withdrawal of old russian forces. the ukrainian woman is being treated for a gunshot wound in the city hospital of mosier in bella luce. thus, after she was short, when her family fled keir for this summer house outside the capitol,

whose band was killed by armed looters outside the house. while she cowered with her child inside. or someone. 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. meanwhile, the 3rd round of negotiations between russia and ukraine has just finished. the head of the russian delegation said before the negotiation started that the humanitarian issue would be one of the main topics of discussion i cisco delagarso fibula. the russian delegation has arrived as agreed upon to start talks. the

ukrainian delegation is late. we found this to be a diplomatic tradition on the parts of ukraine rules. we will discuss the same 3 sets of issues with the political resolution, the international humanitarian issue, and the military issues as well. so says, as you know, at the last meeting, we achieved an agreement on humanitarian corridors for the civilian population to exit house balls. as fair. russia was prepared to open those hotspots, and a cease fire regime was in operation. and fortunately, none of them were effective. we conducted observations using a man darrow vehicles and saw ukrainian nationalists preventing the corridors from being operational made. and i will relay one episode in particular that occurred yesterday. and the east and outskirts of mario post an area which has been surrounded by the dumbass people's republic militia. all of a national battalion tried to escape the city of shoals. so just as in the great patriotic war, they had about a 150 civilians, including women and children in front of them,

forcing them to go before them as little. then they commanded the civilians to lie down and then open fire teachers can as a result, as we know, 4 civilians were killed and 5 injured to put on my rule. these nationalists were also partially destroyed and the rest of them fled customization. this is an example of the way humanitarian corridors work, according to some ukranian authorities and some warring factions. we have reached the laws of war and ana. i will allow you to make your own conclusions option. we will try to continue toast and ensure humanitarian corridors are operational to put us off on our side. our armed forces have enacted a cease fire in the air is necessary now and people have the ability to get out. sadly though, the nationalists, who have held the cities, you civilians living shields both directly and indirectly. and this is undoubtedly a war crime which will be investigated in due course. but i spirit the par builder . well, as the head of the russian delegation has just mentioned, the agreement over humanitarian car, close to the sides previously agreed to is yet to be implemented properly by the

ukrainians, allegedly ukrainian vice president's claims, the corridors that lead to russia or an acceptable while. moscow says the citizens haven't even been informed of these roots. said the green yagni variant. it's an unacceptable option for humanitarian corridors to be open. we are people will not go from ivan. coffee, which is near kiana to beller, is in order to then fly by plane to rush at him. so i hope that the french president la cron understands that his name and sincere desire to help the civilian population of ukraine. nancy, as well as foreign citizens of china, pakistan, india, and many other countries is actually being used and manipulated by russia. as you send the 3 adult grove, an official response from the ukranian side was only received at 7 o'clock in the morning to day. however, the key of regime deliberately didn't mentioned the opening of the humanitarian corridors to the russian federation give from kia was the harkin i marry you, paul, in sumi, up to the citizens of those and other residential areas weren't informed of the

opportunity for safe evacuation at all because this is nothing but explicit cynicism towards their fellow citizens. ukrainian ports of maria pulleys at the center of the conflicts right now with fighting in the city continue in an all attempts to evacuate civilians failing a day by day. however, some have managed to flee and they shared with us what they've been through. oh melissa, so they use us as human shields office, our own ukrainian military. they shall take civilians and children. 4 days ago, my husband, my child and i left the basement where we had been hiding to go home because we were told that everything was quiet. and then they opened fire on us. if you please release the move, the shots are being fired from residential buildings. everyone can see this happening from their windows, the ukrainian army, dr. tanks there and launch rockets and mortars from passenger cars. people aren't being evacuated at all. they are sitting in basements, even small children, and there are a lot of people there. when russia opened humanitarian corridors,

we decided to go. we got 100 meters out of the city and they started shooting at us from behind the ukrainian army bright at us. we lay down and didn't move for an hour and a half. and then when we got really cold, we decided to run again. i really that will me and leave with water that mentioned that as of the others that guess horseman for them to as is if you have to finish with a solution with them emotionally with digital, which is the russian defense ministry has recently commented on the situation the

city saying militants, the using terrorist tactics, opening fire on all who tried to flee, was low on we're sure. so shows my old when i muted according to civilians who escaped from mary you, paul, yesterday the situation in the nationalist occupied city is difficult. people are hiding in basements and due to a lack of electricity and gas in homes, they are forced to cook on the street on bonfires air or the militants, or dispersing them over her nationalists open fire on all civilians who try to leave their homes and assume that people are forced to paint on the walls and doors of houses don't shoot, knock on their children. here, there is the screw done. meanwhile, in other ukrainian regions, these unverified videos show people waiting for evacuation roots had trained stations in evolve. and if a patrols where they've been repulsively false, awaiting cues for hours to flee those cities. we spoke to the president of the international committee of the red cross, and he gave us an overview of the humanitarian situation ukraine. oh,

you may tell in situation obviously as far as we see is extremely serious. it is particularly serious in urban areas of the country suite. see the proximity of civilians and battle fields. at the same time, we tried the best we can to respond to a increase the landscape of need hundreds of thousands of people in need. but we also wanting engage with the parties in order to find consensus and precise agreements about evacuation the roads about access into beseeched are, are fighting areas as well as a voluntary evacuation and wallet voluntary escape routes for civilian populations. as we see, this is a highly competitive issue. it's not the only place in the world where we see

difficulties of having precise agreements between the military switch are able to work for in real life. but i appreciate all the efforts from all sides in order to come to functioning agreements, precise agreements, so that the civilians can find safe places can be protected and you, many periods can access. this is easy. monetary nate has continued heading to those in need and ukraine convoys. pipes with food have arrived in the city of hassan after is taken by russian forces bots. as our senior correspondent, rud gasdio reports. some ukranian nationalists have reportedly been trying to intimidates 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 that is hundreds,

thousands of people queuing at distribution points for desperately needed food and, and always a handful of spoilers appear most often with, with mobile phones to film what they're doing. they'll stand therein and shout insults, brush and troops or the masses queuing for desperately needed food. they then upload that footage to social media or friendly western media outlets to create the impression that ukrainians are against brush an aide 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 to 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. when i google theses tame compared to what other ukrainian nationalists the saying, they want to hunt down any one starving or not who takes badly needed from the russian convoys door dumping out toward you more no zulu. they do those because all of them have the form to them. beautiful machine for me, but don't want him. so i mean there's been lots of other horrible programs because of all of them. good feeling. they are a tiny minority, the nationalists said, neo nazis. but they have enormous sway. 2 years of mud 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 that welcome russian aid, only a handful appeared to insult and scream. you're just going to assume i want to say 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, co on us at the but on the shackle, the street, we have a supermarket nearby, it's empty. there is nothing in the store except sweets. there's a shock 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 in thinkable prices. they're like more doors. there's a crazy q from bread. people cannot buy bread, so not rushes intended. the knots of vacation of ukraine has already begun at more 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, firearms,

and the orders we just looked at. 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 application of ukraine, or at gas div from here son, ukraine. amid pressure to strengthen sanctions from western countries, oil and gas prices have skyrocketed over the last few days. the us is present zalinski calls for a complete embargo on russian energy exports. but it's not clear though, where the western politicians are ready to take that risk. early i spoke with ortiz, donald court on the matter, prices,

energy prices. they've been skyrocketing across the western world in the u. s. first of all, we've got oil prices just under their historic peak that came, that was in 2008. and in europe we've seen a gas prices even surpass their record highs. we're talking about over $3900.00 for a 1000 cubic meters of gas. that's $373.00 per kilowatt hour. these are prices that people just several months ago would have considered to be apocalyptic. and so we have to ask ourselves, how did we get to this spike in prices? and the answer is, western politicians have simply been talking about the potential of a ban on all oil imports from the world's largest oil exports. and that's russia, an actual ban hasn't even come into effect. and yet we have on the one hand, the european commission talking about putting forward policies that would potentially raise these prices even higher. and on the other hand, we have germany,

which is saying we can't just ditch russian oil at the drop of a hat 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 ease by investing and renewables, and proving energy efficiency. the federal government has been urgently working for months with its partners in the european union and beyond to develop alternatives to russian energy. this cannot be done overnight. it is therefore, a conscious decision on our part to continue the activities of commercial companies in the field of energy supply with russia. i think it goes without saying that european energy policy, even before we got to this point, was one of the main reasons we saw the energy crisis begin late last year. and a, one of the main reasons that europe has long had some of the highest energy costs in the world. as for american liquefied natural gas, we have to look at what antony blinkin said. yesterday he said he was going to be

discussing with european politicians how to get them on board on with a anti russian oil embargo. and it's pretty clear who's going to be the only winner in such a scenario. of course, washington that selling this american liquefied natural gas and how the u. s. house of representatives is already drafting a bill to put that into action. but among the other major supporters of an embargo of russian oil is, of course, the ukranian president vladimir zalinski nashik desert, his 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, we've heard the strong talk and you said, you know, the talk in itself was enough just to send the prices sewing,

but so far the west has stopped short of implementing an all outbound on russian energy s. exports. but do you think no, be able to do it without catastrophic consequences back home while, according to the experts, it seems that without catastrophic consequences, it's not going to be possible. we've heard from analysts from bank of america who are saying that if russian oil were to be entirely blocked for from import in the west, we would be looking at a potential doubling in the price of oil. we also heard from the analysts at j. p. morgan, who said that by the end of the week, the price of a barrel of oil could be as high as $185.00. and in regard to the situation, we really have to look at one relevant example as to why banning russian oil would be a really bad idea. that's the fact that a shell oil just recently bought a 100000 metric tons of russian oil because it said it had no other alternative if it were not to buy the soil than it would have been facing us. the shortfalls in i,

let's take a listen to the official announcement from the company yesterday. we made the difficult decision to purchase a cargo of russian crude oil. r refineries produce petrol and diesel, as well as other products that people rely on every day to be clear without an uninterrupted supply of crude oil to refineries. the energy industry cannot assure continued provision of essential products to people across europe over the weeks ahead. cargoes from alternative sources would not have arrived in time to avoid disruptions to market supply. now, while we're hearing these kinds of statements from, for example, shell and the german chancellor that it's just not possible to ditch russian oil overnight. at the same time, we're hearing comments from ukrainian officials, basically trying to shame people who are still doing business with russia in the oil sphere. one example is ukraine's foreign minister who asked shell over twitter if the oil it just bought, smelled like the blood of ukrainians. but whatever.
