[000:00:00;00] the me a 3rd rhonda piece talks between russia and ukraine and with both sides, committing to reopen humanitarian corridors. is a question open of life. who cares where they go? do they go west, east, north unsold. wherever many people remain trusted in their cities amid claims, the ukrainian army is continuing shelling and using humans. they use our human shields was our own ukrainian military. they shot it civilians and children with europe mulling ways to sever its dependence on russian energy resources. the us discussing at problem non russian or the import moscow warranty could be

disastrous for the the one minute power for in the morning here in moscow, my name's uno nailed welcome to the news, our own art. with the conflict in ukraine now into a 13 day, let's start by taking a brief look at the main developments. the 3rd round of piece, talk somebody neldon bell roost with parties agreeing to open humanitarian corridors. once again. nevertheless, bottles on the ground continue. but don't yet, army claims you freely enforces forwarded the republics territory. 30 times throughout the day. while ukrainian trips are said to have been forced out of the entire lu county region. president vladimir, as the lensky said, he still expecting western governments to agree to a no fly zone over the country or ship in combat fighters on earth. defense systems,

on more sanctions are being imposed on russia. this time by side, korea, which says spend transactions with russian banks, new zealand as well. sub restrictions on almost $100.00 prominent russian figures. the head of the russia delegation in the peace talks with ukraine safe. both sides have agreed not to reveal details of the negotiations. although his comments at the end of the 3rd round of talk suggest any significant accord is still some way off. this is not available. what's with this in mind? do you really see any test results? they said it's practically impossible. i see a big difference between impossible and practical impossible. both this issues are weitel for russia or for more on those developments,

let speak to ortiz, ramon cost read, who indeed, recently returned from net. good morning to you remark. there we have yet another round of talks wrapping up, but it does appear suddenly no real breakthrough as yet. absolutely a 3rd round of thoughts, sand they keep on talking, but so seemingly there are no visible results at this point. for perhaps several reasons for that. perhaps so ukrainian delegation have. i are not authorized to make any decisions on the spot while a russia comes in prepared. they have the documents in hand ready to be signed, while a key of the legation need to get back to the gradient capital to consult with other people there as well. so it's constantly being delayed and speaking of delaying negotiations, ukrainian delegation, keep on switching the place of talks that keep on delaying the times. they agreed

to meet at 3 pm for example, but then the last minute they change it to 5 pm. so that's certainly not been helpful either. now in the thought, so 3rd talks, like i said, it's their main corridors are our center stage. but it's not really clear how that works and everything the agreed upon because they agreed on humanitarian corridors and safe passage for civilians previously for but so according to the russian defense ministry, ukrainian army or crating nationalist battalions are not observing the ceasefire, thus preventing civilians from leaving, so, once again, they agreed on humanitarian corridors, but hopefully these decisions will stand less here from the, the head of the russian litigation. this is a question often of

a life. who cares where they go? do they go west, east, north and south. the purpose is to lead civilians, women seniors kits to let them go out of the cities. that's actually is absolutely understandable by us and by ukrainian delegation. i hope that starting from tomorrow, they promised it the situation will change and i do hope they will keep their vote . thank you. all. there is a hope that the next round of talks is just around the corner. ah, we do hope that aside will continue talking, continue making decisions and we will move beyond the humanitarian corridors. it's hope that this decision will stick and that people will be able to leave those affected areas in moodle. the in yuki of in are you paul, and everywhere else in ukraine. now the talks are set to continue,

but it's hard to predict at this point whether they will produce results or not. but it looks like ukraine's liter vladimir zelinski is ready to continue talking until the solution is found. let's hear from him. mumbled him a horrid blue. the more we will talk. we will insist on talks until we find a way to tell our people. that's how we will reach peace. now and another seas fire is bland for at 10 am. this tuesday, it's just a few hours away. hopefully people will be able to take advantage of the fire if it sticks and we will see the civilians finally making it to say to me, as you see at the very least they are talking remind thank you very much for mon costs or bring this up to date on delegation talks while, but all throughout ukraine are still happening regardless according to the russian

military done. yet lou gans forces their advancing on taking are there areas well rushes and making another attempt that cease fire to ally as civilians to flee as roman talked us through there. this, by the way, on verified footage shows a fire to oil plans in the region of mere ukrainian authorities said it was the result of earth strikes. one fire that's already been contained. there were no reports of any injuries. and these are photos from the to near republic, allegedly showing the aftermath of ukrainian army shelling of a civilian area. 5 people were reportedly injured at the local nursery was also had very little information on that though. and then this furnish from melli to poll. you can see weapons of ukrainian forces which were abandoned us. russian forces took control of the area. the city has been under russian military control since february 26th. well, amid the unfolding crisis,

western countries are being urged by moscow to help with the evacuation of civilians. a number of attempts had opened humanitarian corridors to dates have ended in failure. the next is expected to be made in 5 ukrainian cities and to being the country's capital to day international women's day. or one of the cities, people are desperate to flee as marie awful in the country, south east, where the situation remains grueling. the russian defense ministry is claiming locals are still having to shelter in their basements without gas electricity. after coming under shelling from ukrainian nationalist earlier to people who were shot dead while trying to escape the city via green corridor. very few people so far have managed to successfully leave their shirt while they've been with them. all the shots are being fired from residential buildings. everyone can see this happening from their windows, the ukranian 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 ukranian army. right 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 believe that will me and leave with that guess walsman with them usually with digital,

which is also at disturbing claims that fighters from nationalist battalions have used locals as human shields to escape mario apple at. we heard one witness report law explicit gazelle. they use us as human shields with our own ukrainian military . they shut it 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 open fire on us steeper the russian defense ministry has recently commented on the situation in the city saying, milon, since there are using terrorist tactics, opening fire on all those who tried to flee was low on we're, we're sure. so shows my up 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 it or the militants are

dispersing them, or her nationalists open fire on all civilians who try to leave their homes. and i feel that people are forced to paint on the walls and doors of houses don't shoot knuckle. there are children here. dorothy school lunches. let's find all the difficulty. some refugees have already arrived from ukraine to russia. they were taken to the city of tegan rog, where a temporary reception facilities were set up in a school chin and tell coley, people who were given hot meals, medical care, and psychological health. we spoke to the president of the international committee of the red cross. he gave us an overview of the humanitarian situation in ukraine. you may hear in situation obviously as far as we see is extremely serious. it is particularly serious in urban areas of the country. we see the proximity of civilians and

battlefields. 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 want engage with the parties in order to find consensus and precise agreements about evacuation rules about access into the feature and fighting areas, as well as voluntary evacuation and voluntary escape routes for civilian population. as we see, this is a highly contested issue. it's not the only place in the world where we see difficulties. so having precise agreements between the military switch are able to work 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 parents can access masses of african students stuck inside ukraine claim to have faced racial discrimination in their bid to fleet. they say they were being forcibly detained by guards who were only allowing white people towards the border . nigerian student alexander some to or a told us he finally managed to flee to poland. after spending 4 days trying to escape give i thought to the address to come on which is called rosanna on the toes are women and children are allowed to and $1.00 to $3.00 more do we are pushing african women between you will also push out young when i talk between you, we are, we only if we not on, on a white. so we protested. then after the whole thing,

we were able to get to look the army started tracking 3 quarter with more and half it to the goal. when we got closer to the water, there was a fire jim said, hope i did it. you can immediately school in the bar and get disappointed us. then why people on the other side than day africans in the us on the middle east. on the other side. so the total on that, we have to wait till to why people, you saw the why people we are moving. we were left there for 3 days, 2 days on india for 3 days. somebody there for 2 days. they only state your produce . so the military gone on threat to shoot us and we, we are trying to fire. all right, because we came to study, we are not illegal immigrants aren't holding not holding those box. why? why to move it is, is a crime is a walk, right? because we have a constant, we want to leave the refuse and we started protesting them. well we go to the

bottom, the thought of asia and africa. if you're an engine, all middle east, you should leave the and go to go my number. the thousands of people desperate to flee. ukraine was a major focus of discussion of the un security council on monday. all countries stress the importance of reaching agreements on humanitarian aid. that means a sustain pause in hostilities to allow the safe passage of civilians who wished to leave areas of active conflict. the safe passage of humanitarian supplies and the free and safe movement of those delivering humanitarian assistance. we need russia's firm, clear public and unequivocal commitment to allow and facilitate immediate, unhindered, humanitarian as access for humanitarian partners. then ukraine liberal look,

which we once again wish to emphasize that safety for civilians in ukraine is not a problem for, for russian. right? because we're not bombarding them, but rather ukrainian radicals and neo nazis who were holding hostage whole towns and cities and making use of citizens as a, as a human shield. not allowing until you cities, despite the fact that there are humanitarian corridors, and that russian units have declared a ceasefire. there are a panoply of examples of this. it is even more appalling though the russian troops open firing on iraq ease and a recreational vehicles, shall the roads allocated for human bearing corridors. for easter, for instant they shout, the depot loads with iraq creation buses near mar you bull. and that's just the areas where these corridors are being opened up. so i was ready to provide whole hearted assistance and guaranteeing safety for the evacuation of these people. we informed the un secretary of all of this in timely fashion. however,

the radicals in mario paul violated disagreement, as is clear from call re conversation rate, a conversation that was intercepted between 2 commanders of the nationalist battalion as all that is involved of the radicals that were told to shoot at the legs of those who had heading for who had put the monitoring corridors, those who risk life and limb to try and leave mario pole when they reach the tech points to. to exit, the city was shot on side by ukrainian nazis. i was delighted to welcome live onto the program ellis under bruno independent political unless speaking to us from a candidate today, i listened to welcome. you can have repeatedly stress the importance of humanitarian car doors and yet both keep leaving each other for violating agreements. why is it so hard to implement something? both sides similarly agree on? well, we have, this is part of the fog where i think we have

a complete narratives. of course the the ukrainians cannot agree that the russians are providing the adequate humanitarian corridors because that it is not in their interest given the background in which they are operating. and that is for the government of ukraine has decided to gamble a playing poker. you know, in a sense, the thinking that they can hold off the russian advance. and given the repeated please from president zalinski of ukraine to get your opinion aid as if the europeans are in a position to intervene. militarily, we've heard, for example, the biggest whopper i think in the part of the weekend was the apparent green light to the use of former russian jets from the air forces of poland or

a check republic to be refurbished and then used for from bases there to in ukraine that i believe has been proven, largely felt because of course, that would imply a direct intervention of nato countries in the conflict and causing a much more dangerous escalation of situation. so i think admitting humanitarian called or exist and that the russians are doing their part is a problem that sense and of course, rush in the trying to get these a new nationalist out of the eastern regions and controlling their actions with which are aimed that causing a provoking the russian forces to intervene because of course, the,

one of the most important things to realize about this complex as far as i understand . and the reason, perhaps that is taking long time we have meet the western media complaining or at least reporting how, how little progress the russians have been making so far. because the russians have been focusing on a different strategy than say, the americans did in iraq or afghanistan, there isolating cities rather than intervening directly with carpet bombing after all the, when the us attack iraq in 2003, they went straight for the presidential palace in back that we didn't see that in this circumstance. in fact, there is no evidence that that is the ultimate game to get to, to get rid of the last day. so i was just gonna tell you that was an important explain or can i just focus on one particular aspect as well, alessandra that you might want to give your take on given the claims of

nationalists attacking evacuation. do you think the decision by ukrainian authorities, the 100 rifles to basically anyone, is something they would stand by now? i am afraid that they would stand by now because this is the, this is the aim. if there is a media we're going on and particularly a media war for the, for a western audience, given all that's been happening in the west, we've seen that. so yes. k censored as well as orchestra directors and opera singers like and on it have go. and professors of russian history or with a certain take have been identified, you know, as pro put in, for example, i even heard that the canadian dish routine which is sort of in, in the back has been as come under fire. and i checked it, it is true. so given what's happening in the west, this is exactly the kind of warfare, a media warfare,

a psychological warfare that the, that these forces can apply. so that is responsible decision is i think would, would not be within the today, given what they know you're mentioning all those examples. it's also coming from countries from, from independent states as well. we have albania going so far as to say that all reports on the struggles of the people have done boss, or fake news, why 2 countries are and in the, the media as you've been saying, react in such different ways to the plight of the people of done boss and ukrainians. well, and we've had 8 years to learn about the problem, the dumbass. and we've had 13 years to learn in detail that the of the problem that russia has with nato's expansion into ukraine and why it is such a red line. and it's not, it doesn't take

a genius to of international relations or of the caliber of steven cohen, for example, the sadly departed stephen, going to figure that out in the the dumbass simply was completely served under the carpet. and in fact, since 2014, when the problem came to the 4, all we've heard about russia was russia gate and a campaign, demonization of, of the russian government, and in the russian nation. culminating in it to the point that we have now. in fact, the, the armaments to that have been going to ukraine since in december this campaign was in full swing so long with at least 3 months before the war actually began. that was,

that also flew in the face of the situation in dumbass where we've had no, i'm not sure of the reports, but i've heard 13000 dead. not, i don't know if they're all civilians, but certainly there is when you have 13000 that in this, in the course of 8 years since 2014 there's definitely a humanitarian problem in place. and clearly the what's happening overall in general, i think if you want to put it in a big picture, is much closer to a civil war than an actual war is not. this is a problem that has come out of the unresolved issues of the breakup of the soviet union in 1091 and the boarders that were not decided with accuracy at the time. and this is the, the situation allison drew it. thank you so much for going through all those different elements with us. allison bruno independent, political analysts, speaking from kind of thank you. amid the conflict and ever growing

sanctions from western countries against moscow, oil and gas prices have skyrocketed. major european leaders have called in nations to abandon russia's energy supplies, to punish the country for its actions in ukraine. however, russia's deputy prime minister essays countries should think about the consequences of such in guess, boom, boom is doable. need sweet gas from a fully fulfills its obligations to supply gas to europe. moreover, the supply through the ukrainian gas transportation system has been increased. at the same time, we understand that due to unfounded accusations against russia regarding the energy crisis in europe and the introduction of the band or note stream to we have every right to make a mirror decision and imposed embargo on gas pumping through the node stream. one gas pipeline, which is 100 percent loaded today. everyone knows that oil supplies from russia are the most competitive for the european market. it is obvious, the rejection of russian oil will lead to disastrous consequences for the world market. the search in prices will be unpredictable if you want to refuse the

delivery results from russia. that's okay. we know where to redirect these volumes when well, the u. s. is considering a ban on russian oil imports, where president biden urging european leaders to think of doing the same. however, the white house said no decision has yet been taken our taste on quarter reports. and how is such a decision could affect western countries themselves all around washington, the call to ban russian oil can be heard. america's bigwigs also claiming its putin's main source of revenue. food news, weaponized, energy. i don't believe this country should be importing any thing from russia by banning import of russian oil here. united states, we the opportunity to work with our allies to stabilize the energy market across the world safeguard our nation's energy security and boost our own energy independence. it's time to ban all imports of russian oil never and the history of warfare has

a bad guy been so exposed as putin is today. the revenue from all and guess keeps on the float. if we can isolate the oil and gas sector produce more here at home, that will do more to in this war than any single thing i can think of. banning oil imports from the world's number one, ex porter will no doubt come at a cost. nevertheless, some on capital hill are ready for americans to pay even more at the pump. i would, i would gladly, if they've ever supposed be in taking. they said jose, you pay $0.10 more galvan to support the people ukraine. stop basically, the support of russia. i would gladly potentials more ago, someone should probably lead mansion know that americans are already paying not 10, but $0.30 more per gallon. in fact, just a week after the most recent waves of us sanctions against russia were launched, the price of oil nearly reached its 2008 all. busy time high, which caused more than a little anxiety across the us. as nations increase economic pressure on russia, president biden has warned that some of those moves could also end up hurting. you

ask consumers, as we all know, prices, americans are paying for the basics, food gas, housing are all high and they could go even higher. ok and get some bad news for you. the u. s. gas price has reached a national average of $4.00 a gallon the highest in over a decade as the byte administration now considers banning russian oil a ban isn't even an effect. and yet the economic consequences show just how reliance the u. s. is on russian oil. last year the u. s. doubled. it's crude oil imports from russia, bringing them to their highest level in 2 decades that totaled over $4700000000.00 . so what we will get is the big, big crisis. everybody wandered across the ocean in, you know, new york and so on. so what we, what we will see now is that whitney price increases the entire financial system will fall apart. and i think this could already be the. so that brings

everything into into a crash. 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 of the democracy in a new voluntary and i think they are planned for ages already were not really necessary who are voluntary and i think they are planned for ages already, but not a well thought rule. i think while banning russian oil would almost certainly mean even higher energy prices for your average american washington's energy giants could be looking at some mega profits. anthony blinking has been busy trying to get your opinion leaders on the anti russian oil bandwagon. and the european commission seems in favor tomorrow. 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. not everyone in europe is on board though. that's mostly because it's simply not possible to do what washington is suggesting. 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. president biden said nothing is off the table when it comes to sanctions aimed at russia. ok, but can america's president afford such a policy when he's also promised to keep gas prices low? the white house seems less than willing to find out how the president has been approaching. any of the steps we've taken as it relates to russia and the actions of russia and holding president putin accountable is to take every step to the
