mm mm hm. i with for headline story this, our a 3rd rhonda piece talk between russia and ukraine, ends with both sides, committing to reopen humanitarian car is a question of alive. who cares where they go? do they go west? east, north and south. over many people remain trapped in their cities and make claims. the ukrainian army are continuing to shell areas where civilians reside

with, with europe mulling ways to sever its dependence from russian energy resources. the you asked discussing about on oil imports from russia, industry experts fears such a move could lead to another global recession. ah, 247 news from the russian capital. this is our team. thanks for choosing us for your update today. i'm gonna real with the conflict in ukraine now into a 13th day. let's start the program by recapping the main developments, a 3rd round of peace talks been held in dollars with parties agreeing to open humanitarian corridors. once again, however,

bottles on the ground continue that done yet scar me. her claim ukrainian forces from far did the republics territory. 30 times throughout the day, while ukrainian troops are said to have been for side of the entire loop region. president law the mirrors, lensky said he's still expecting western government to agree to a no fly zone over the country or shift in combat fighters or defense systems. and more sanctions are being imposed russia. they stand by so korea, suspending transactions with russian bunks while new zealand snobs restrictions, and almost 100 prominent russian figures. the head of the russia delegation in those peace talks with ukraine, sees both sides have agreed not to reveal details of the negotiations. although speaking to r t, after the talks, he come to a climmer of hope in the response of k to russia, security guarantees. they said it's practically impossible.

i see a big difference between impossible and practical impossible. both is issues are weitel for russia, weitel ferocious people. and of course it's weitel for, for the position of our to negation. i hope sooner or later, we'll find a decision for that. so yeah, they got her on the table once again. let's speak up by thoughts with ortiz, remind cost her of who indeed recently returned from finance. good. the see remark, another round of talks wrap up. it appears at this stage suddenly no break through exactly 3rd round of talk. so like was said, not a lot of details are coming out from these talks, no visible results whatsoever, but we do know that the humanitarian corridors have taken their center stage. and this is something both sides are talking about. so all the time. now we have information that the safe passages will open up at 10 am

a local time and we have information where there will be opened up. that's key of hire coff czerny. gov sumi and the city of murray, opal in the da nets people's republic is hoped that the seas fire will stand unlike it, didn't all the last few days and the people will be able to get to save spaces alive . and well, let's hear from the russian, head of delegation. 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. thank you as well as we can see if there is a hope but, you know, let's see what happens. what kind of facts we have after the cease fire begins at 10 am. do we know more remote about the stance of the ukrainian side, or indeed something which was previously raised? how committed the actually are to the talks? well, it's so hard to say because the only common ground that the sides look to have and the moments are these are humanitarian corridors. now ukrainian side, they insist that the talks will, will continue for as long as needed. but at this point, having seen ran one and round 2 and now round 3, it's hard to say whether these talks will produce actual results that ukrainian delegation there might seem very committed there on the ground in men's but their

reality in ukraine. and in the next republic is very different. but despite that, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski says that they are committed to talk for as long as needed. let's take a modem, uncle worried boredom. we will tack. we will insist on talks until we find a way to tell our people that's how we will reach peace road was maryland? it does appear both sides speak in the name of talks as it were, yet this is already the 2nd time they've had to agree. again, to open corridors dot particularly what's the main issue there was shelling continues and humanitarian corridors have not been opened up so far. well, the could be several problems there. perhaps the lack of communication was the key of as well because you create delegation there in minsk. they're not really authorized to make any decisions. and every time they're forced to go back to a key of to extend those consultations. so that's certainly a big

a huge delay on time and just picking them delay ukrainian delegation. well, they're really very punctual and they have changed the location of the talks. several times. they are that they say the thoughts will start at 3. they come over a couple of hours later, so that's certainly not very helpful as well. and yes with we're talking about humanitarian corridors there, but it's not really clear how it works. is they agreed upon having this humanitarian corridors but the, on the ground in the ukraine and internet people's republic. russian defense ministry reports that people are not allowed to leave, are not allowed to use. this humanitarian corridors and a ceasefire does not stand at all and civilians have no safe passage. we heard that several refugees managed to break through this nationalist

encircled the towns with maribelle for example, but these are just friends and hundreds of people. so the problem there, perhaps a lack of communication with these negotiators in minsk and authorities and key if you will be going through some of the issues you raised from on through the program . but for now, thank you very much, our teacher on cost and just the overall picture and bottles to continue to happen across ukraine, according to the russian military done yet. and the gowns forces are advancing on ticking further areas while russia is making another attempt of a cease fire to allow civilians to flee something else to show you this on verified footage, demonstrate the fire at 2 oil plants in the g to mirror region, ukrainian authority said it was the result of earth strikes, one fire has already been contained. there were no reports of injuries. and these are photos from the den. yes, republic allegedly showing the aftermath of ukrainian army shelling of

a civilian area. 5 people were reportedly injured, a local nursery was also hit. and this footage from milly topple. you can see the weapons of ukrainian forces, which were abandoned as the russian military to control of the area. the city has been under moscow's control since february 26. at the same time, the printing army seen force from almost all the territory of the loot, ganske people's republic with 73 times and city theme. but as the front lines are redrawn, some harwick fields are emerging as ortiz refinished. tell us with war raging, bringing death and destruction, those alive dream about peace. but here it seems. this is something even the dead cannot yet find. these local experts, examine bodies from what they call this contain years. graves of those who died in shelling and hostilities,

one of 4 such resting places across the republic of logan's movie daily when we saw that those pets with approximately a meter is literally a 4 by 4 square with $10.00 to $15.00 bodies in each listen. it's just not right. we lifted out $292.00 bodies out of it show you the names should be remembered with . that's the price of our freedom. we witness the 1st of these grays. when we worked here back in 2014 on those hot summer days, local more gr refrigerator is were totally packed with courses. and as the city was shelled for weeks, non stop. they were not working properly. has power was cut off. committing bodies to the earth was urgent. see off on a small tree and we examined all bodies. took dna for further matching regularize. the remains and re buried them with mark numbers with accordance to the dignity and orthodox norms. we really hope the remains will be identified soon. this is where most of the buddies discovered in a mass grave outside lugens were re buried and i say,

but is because few have been identified so far. for now, who did the some was simple crosses in numbers, no names, work has begun to turn it into a large memorial to the victims of ukraine's aggression, its official name. it lies across from another monument right there to a local civilians kill here by fascist back in 1942 and it is also called we will not forget, we will not forgive. that was in 2014 now with shelling continued for days. again, the experts have received information about new mass graves along the frontline. she would treated for a nurse must, we want to be wrong, but our experience of working with nationalistic battalions and the ukraine security service shows it could highly likely be true. your me now they are waiting for the fighting to stop, to start rescuing those alive. healing those injured and to re barry those who are dead. marie phenomena

r t from the law ganske republic. and i made the unfolding crisis. western countries are being urged buying moscow to help with the evacuation of civilians. as mentioned to a number of attempts at opening humanitarian corridors to date have ended in failure. the next is expected to be made in 5 ukrainian cities, including the country's capital to day. one of the other cities that people are desperate to flee from is marie up all in the country, south east, where the situation remains. grueling. the russian defense ministry is the, is claiming the locals are still having to shelter in their basement without gas, without electricity. after coming under shelling from ukrainian nationalist not to people we know were shot dead while trying to escape this city by a green corridor. very few people so far have managed to successfully leave some who did church while they had gone through. but with them you don't get them. you

do that other. milton, when you get near, we would lose. you said yes, but, well, i went and did you did the them more with a little here. let's put it. that is like it. but i'm gonna be really pathologist with that with

while they are also claims that fighters from national battalions use locals as human shields in an attempt to escape mariano. we heard testimony from one ledge, witness law, his bosom zoe. he's not so great if you play. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha austin by and hilde again as absolutely solutions. they don't go mosquitoes. la douglas, as elect akiva e philosophy, a horn by one of the russian defense ministry has recently commented on the situation in the city saying militants, there are using terrorist tactics. opening fire on all trying to flee was low on we're, we're sure still shows my open. i mean, 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. the militants are dispersing them over. nationalists, open fire on all civilians who try to leave their homes. that people are forced to paint on the walls and doors of houses. don't shoot, michael. there are children here. dorothy still tucked, let's find all the difficulty. some refugees of already arrived into russia from ukraine. they were taken to the city of tag enrolled or temporary reception facilities, helping set up in a school gym and hotel building. people were given hot meals, medical care and it's like a logical while we spoke to the president of the international committee of the red cross. he gave us an overview of the humanitarian situation. the nuclear oh, you may care 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 landscape of needs hundreds of thousands of people in need. but we also want to engage with the parties in order to find consensus and precise agreements about evacuation. it's about access into each of our fighting areas as well as the voluntary evacuation and wallet loan to the escape route 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. 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 your many parents can access the thousands of people desperate to flee. ukraine was a major focus of discussion that the un security council on monday. all countries stress the importance of reaching agreements on humanitarian aid, particularly 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 in ukraine. it will look for trip to still be once again wish to emphasize the safety of civilians in ukraine is not a problem for russia because we're not bombarding them, but rather ukrainian radicals, neo nazis who, holding hostage whole towns and cities, and making use of citizens as a human shield not allowing them to leave despite the fact that they are, are humanitarian corridors, and that russian units have declared a ceasefire. it is even more appalling, that the russians hoops open firing on the rockies and either creation of eco's shall the roads allocated for humanitarian corridors. for recent, for instance, they shalt the deep boats with evacuation buses near mario pl. registered on russia wanted to provide a whole hearted assistance in guaranteeing safety for the evacuation of these

people. we informed the un secretary about all of this in a timely fashion. however, radicals in merry up all have violated this agreement. as is clear from a radio conversation that was intercepted from the 2 commanders of a nationalist as of battalion. that is a novel novak up, the radicals they were told to shoot at the legs of those who were heading for the humanitarian corridors. those brisk life and lame trying to leave mary apple when they reached the check point to leave, the city was shot by ukrainian nazis came up sisters. well, we'll have this is part of the fog of war. i think we have a competing narratives. of course the the ukrainians cannot agree that the, the russians are providing adequate communitarian 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 in a sense of thinking that they can hold off to russian advance. and given that repeated, please from president zalinski of ukraine to get your opinion aid as if the europeans are in a position to intervene militarily they've heard. for example, the biggest wrapper i think in the the weekend was the apparent green light to the use of former russian jets from the air force is of poland or tech republic to be refurbished and then used from bases there to in ukraine. and that, i believe has been proven largely sales because of course, that would imply a direct intervention of nato countries in the conflict and

causing a much more dangerous escalation of the situation. so i think admitting a humanitarian corridor as exist and that the russians are doing their part. concert is a problem that sent amid the conflict turn to ever growing sanctions from western countries against moscow. oil and gas prices have skyrocketed. major european leaders have called the nations to abandon russia's energy supplies in order to punish the country for the actions in ukraine. however, russia's deputy prime minister, safe country should think twice about the consequences of such a gas boom boom is doable, needs we can guess 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 crosses in europe and the introduction of a band or node stream to we have every right to make

a mirror decision and impose the embargo on gas pumping through the nord 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 surge in prices will be unpredictable if you want to refuse the delivery results is from russia. that's ok. we know where to redirect these volumes . meanwhile, the u. s. is considering a ban on russian oil imports. i'd writes with president biden urging european leaders to think of doing the same. however, the white, i said no decision has yet been taken. our taste on quarter reports on how such a decision could affect western countries themselves. all around washington, the call to ban russian oil can be heard. america's big wigs also claiming its prudence 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 in united states. we the opportunity to work with our allies to stabilize the energy market across the world, safeguard our nations energy security and boost our own energy independence. it's time to ban all imports of russian oil. never in the history of warfare has a bad god been so exposed as putin is today. the revenue from all and guess keeps them the float. if we can isolate the oil and gas sector produce more here at home, that will do more to end this war than any single thing i can think of. banning oil imports from the world's number one, export or will no doubt come at a cost. nevertheless, some on capital hill are ready for americans to pave and more at the pump. i would, i would them if they ever suppose being taken a st. joe's, you pay $0.10 more, galvan to support the people's ukraine. stop basically the support of russia. i would gladly pretensions more again, 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 a 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 totals over $4700000000.00

. what we will get is the big, big crisis. everybody wanted across the ocean in, you know, new york and so on. so what we, what we will see now that whitney price increases, the entire financial system will fall apart. and i think this could already be the . so that brings every 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, in the us. and now due to the sanction 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 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 blanket has been busy trying to get your opinion leaders on the anti russian oil bandwagon. and at least the european commission seems all 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 accountable is to take every step to the maximum impact that will impact president impudent, the russian economy. we are looking at options, we could take right now to cut us consumption of russian energy. but we are very focused on minimizing the impact to families. if you reduce supply in the global marketplace, you are going to rise, raise gas prices, you're going to raise the raise the price of oil. and that is something the president is very mindful of. and focused on washington got plenty of strong words for russia, but as the recoil from western sanctions causes more and more collateral damage. it may be only a matter of time until by the will need to play nice. a former austrian foreign

minister curren kinessa believes a balance on russian energy supplies would have a huge impact on people in european countries already struggling with sky high heating fuel and electricity built there was a clear start over the last few weeks not to effect. i didn't guess imports from russia, not even talk about it, not connected with exclusion for those actors connected to the energy business because everybody was aware that even talking about it, deciding on it would lead to the situation we are now in some you countries might have an easier way to get out because of the have a coal option that holds true for countries like poland plug area, and others are much more dependent on oil and gas. that's definitely true for germany. austria in the short run. the i bryce is defined by politics, politics as a law big say in the long run,

it's supply and demand. it's politics right now, but it's much early to say where we stand in the global energy mix in 10 years. because even though i've been now in this topic for the last 25 years of my life, but i've seen such a tremendous locality. 10 us dollars a barrel, $256.00 in 2008. now, did it only speak about the price hikes and falls and bring 2020? i mean it's a, it's an amazing leticia t and we will see what, what will be the ultimate outcome. but right now it's definitely a lot of politics, pos 5 in the morning here in moscow. that's her lot from the news room, but stay close because it is a fiery going underground. next option, i guess, talk through the ukraine conflict on where it goes from here.

ah ah ah ah ah.
