a ban on all oil and gas imports from russia to the u. s. but the move exposes divisions between america and the u. as the block says, it won't go along with washington's strategy. ah, broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our t international. i'm john thomas. glad to have you with us as we have our continued coverage of the war and ukraine. now it has been almost 2 weeks since the conflict corrupted in ukraine. let's take a look at some of the latest major developments. the russian military has established a regime of silence for wednesday morning to enable civilians to safely evacuate from 5 ukrainian cities to nearby belarus. and russia, meanwhile, russian convoys with humanitarian aid have been pouring into those cities. ukrainian authorities have blocked

a previous attempt to establish escape routes and nationalist groups are reportedly trying to stop people from leaving those cities as well. key of in turn says past attempts to set up civilian safety zones failed because russian forces were allegedly violating, sees fires earlier. russia and give agreed on 10 humanitarian corridors in 5 different cities during the 3rd round of peace talks that's according to moscow. ukraine officials, however, claimed that only 2 corridors were opened as of tuesday in fisting. they hadn't agreed to any of those leading to russia. moscow's defense ministry says that only one corridor was confirmed open from the north eastern city of sumi to the central city of pole. then the evacuated can go from there to the polish border. now the 1st train is taking $400.00 ukrainian residues directly from

a check point on the polish border in the town of mondanca to crack off. it is hoped that these direct trains will help ease congestion at other checkpoints and make the journey less difficult. the united nations has reported that 2000000 people have fled ukraine since the conflict directed it 2 weeks ago, with more than 1000000 entering neighboring poland. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says that he is ready to compromise on the breakaway regions of done yet. lou ganske and crimea adding that it's important to ensure the safety of ukrainian loyalists living in those territories. moscow has said that it will withdraw its troops if ukraine recognizes crimea as part of russia and done yet, and lugens because independence states. and moreover, if ukraine vowed that it will not join nato, thousands of ukrainian families have been forced to, to seek shelter underground as showing continues. they are adapting to life in metro stations with their children. many of his fathers have joined the army or local defense forces,

leaving their families to cope on their own. and 27 people were killed and showing in ukraine, 2nd largest city, hud. gov on tuesday. this, according to a local police official, but moscow's defense ministry says no civilian areas were targeted by the russian armed forces. and in this video, you can see the remains of a partially destroyed residential building. the russian army says it's organizing an evacuation route out of the city to enable civilians to flee to safety. and here is another video from the southeastern city of medical, where a residential area came under, intense fire shooting can still be heard near by reportedly, and residents say how it felt to escape fidela close the loop would work. we spent 4 days in the basement and then we ran through the fields where we didn't go into the city. we left through the fields, and on the 12th day, they were firing mortars in our direction and we were just running over. so my

husband went to the donuts a commander and they helped us leave. they issued an alert that civilians were coming through, but i knew it was good. it was they didn't let anyone out of the village. those who managed miraculously to break through to get out of the village, they left alone with us cuz we were lucky. we got through and went into ukraine. let us then when we saw the russian tanks, we went along the military routes and arrived here in little wood bizarrely we were running and didn't know whether we'd reach this debts. we were in the open air with our 8 year old daughter, and bombs were falling a 100 meters away from me singing explosions. we were screaming we were afraid, but we didn't know whether we'd survive him. some who have managed to flee from opal to a safe zone near the russian border have shared harrowing stories, saying the ukrainian army is targeting civilians with mortar fire. but bodily bud staley. boucher seems to be kissed on the lease,

but we just even when machine a i'm at the mantra as well. that just might add the a young was mrs. teach me. so does she do this with fighting is ongoing in the don bass republics of logan's candid done yet, where many residents have found their homes turned to rubble and have fled as well . in this drone photos you can see deserted streets and damaged buildings in the loop. ganske people's republic as local authorities continue to report showing by

the ukrainian armed forces and she's mary. phenomena is in the area right now. she sent us a report from a village, reportedly just taken by the local forces from the ukrainian army. ah, the now in the village of cream scare, the army of the august republic just to control over it. and this is one of just a couple of buildings destroyed in this village. and now tom will now explain me why i was on the sill grey enough though. lily will for teachers keep his lawyer to his philosophy cardelia either while he was northerners, much on the still boucher was come with you for i saw or teased the business for the when you're already new. boy dear. thank you. i'm awesome because i didn't ask uncle cleveland willa blight if i see say, practitioner skill. could you please go there? go. was this near to his dear sir arthur luther's father now corporal has thought nor got by noon of dear senators. toilets above the southerners for coin on the southern sh noel gordon to proceed. nowhere near shaquilla both girls of ukraine denies it, uses civilians as human shows. but here we see

a proof of the opposite. clearer, minyaun hoarded her cup. i knew lara's machine, you're closely la goosenich. no boy would you think you was fluent, but i'm on the do gooders all monsieur. i saw quite enough to see me that i've not heard your steer. school. we are now in the very middle of residential area and this is where they were hiding. there are armored vehicles and tanks here. we can see trace does a movie do what's libby then the other british on correct. you are honestly a pocket bottom muslim financially. decide your 3 balboa mushroom before the ally bar system up a walk. oh awesome kirkwood, still i do sidney premier lu, bought your garage. hm. dilbert, and this is where the control and command center of the ukraine's armed forces station here used to be voted on. the very thing is that the ukraine and language, of course, christmas 3 seriously. and this is really weird. it's like march now with a or bubble in your bushel shirt america possessed. although in the evening was daniel was thrown of the thought. the shadow broadness used before no measure

dazzling video creatures ish like abolish. no stealing them any more. not that are more papa danny's thud was similar at all. miller milt, a list of the was walk me little more. the ladies come, said other with us on your boot. oh, now we can hear the sound of a tillery working. where is it, and how far is the frontline out of town? ah, dodge is 3 to lucy charles moore, motion solutions will get a bill to so nerve to live in norfolk waters on the silica thorough, but those her, but additional napoleon in the saloon, the condo sooner than yours, calissa charles, for those are the subordinated, little guns on the ground. oh, i'd sued ogden when the hold him so, but i've kept witness to kilometer. yeah, the front line is around 15 kilometers from here. so very far. but apart from the constant shelling and cross fire, the village still holds threats of another kind. the sign says top minds,

some areas in this village is still dangerous to go to we've seen some locals. those who remained as they had no way to flee too. but it is too early to say if others can come home. mary from ocean are r t, from crim scare in la guns, republic. and as the conflict between ukraine and russia, rages on people live in fear for their lives and try to cope amid the aftermath of the battles. you can really just run, you wouldn't be like i do for ya here though for to go down like for the food you this is footage from a village and logan sc republic where an arch reporter was able to pass through with the help of the mine sweeping team now you can see to unexpected minds stuck in the ground in front of a house where residence had been forced to hide in the basement. the stores are closed, and locals have struggled to get food as well. and as western governments continue

to use russia violating ukraine's territorial integrity, the don, yes, can look on republics. have meanwhile been suffering from continuous shilling from the ukrainian military for already 8 years. let's take a look at how the situation developed. ah mm hm. he rejects it. voila, bullying issue on the me. it is some

with oh, i'm sorry, posted yesterday here. there we was. was that she could i see you next week in chrome. it thornton pepper when dealing with joe biden is ramping up sanctions against moscow. this time announcing a ban on all oil and gas imports from russia to the us. meanwhile, fuel costs in america have had all time highs with drivers, feeling the pain at the pump parties. caleb martin comments joe biden addressed the

united states about new sanctions. he is imposing on russia. the main focus will be ending russia's ability to export oil to the united states. the united states will no longer receive petroleum from russia. now, in addition to that, there will be efforts to shut down the assets owned by russians in the united states. the jump department is involved in that, and there will be efforts to cut off technology and prevent rushes ability to import key technological products. joe biden also referenced how certain corporations are boycotting and shutting down their operations in russia. now joe biden emphasized that this was going to cost a average american, the price of gasoline is already soaring, and there will be a higher cost of gasoline for average americans as a result of this move. now joe biden said, essentially that americans should blame russia for this. this is what joe biden

said about the rising fuel costs sponder by his sanctions. this is a step that we're taking to inflict further pain on the front. there will be cost as well here in united states. i said i would level with the american people from the beginning. and when i 1st spoke to this, i said defending freedom is going to cost foods or is already hurting american families. the gas pump says prudent began, is military build up and ukrainian borders just since then. the price of the gas, the pumping american of $0.75, and with this action is going to go up further. now, joe biden emphasized that the united states would be taking these moves as the united states, as a net energy export or united states exports energy on the international markets. it imports energy as well, but overall, united states can afford to take this move while the europeans cannot be emphasized . european al eyes that are dependent or in his words, to depended on russian gas and russian oil. they will not be able to take this move . here's what joe biden said, we're moving forward this band,

understanding that many of our european allies in partners may not be in a position to join us. the united states produces far more oil domestically than all of europe. pretty can all the european countries combined. now these moves are not a very big deal for russia's economy, less than one percent of russian oil exports go to the united states. however, for americans, they are going to have an impact. the price of gasoline has already gone up. and we recently saw donald trump's speaking up on social media, the outlet that still allow him talking about basically saying, do you miss me yet? and talking about the impact this will have on average americans when they go to the car. when they go to fill their cars up at the pump. so it's quite an interesting move. we have the biden administration, essentially blaming russia for the ongoing suffering of americans. we have defensive statements from behind and saying that it's not true that he's trying to suppress domestic oil production eyes. his critics are alleging republicans continue to criticize biden,

blaming him for the inflation and for the rising fuel costs. however, at the same time, we have biden, and the democrats saying this is necessary, this is to punish russia, blaming russia for these moves. so that quite a divide. biden, speaking defensively about his position in the united states, while emphasizing that he is taking more moves or punish rushes economy amid the ongoing conflict. we spoke with daniel sharp, a professor at the city university of new york, who says, political leads in washington have dug themselves into an energy crisis. public ins and the democrats are blaming one another. it's a full informational war, a media war against russia. no matter what president biden does, or any republican does, they blame one another for not being, quote, unquote tough enough on, on russia. but the truth is objectively, they've dug themselves into a crisis because there is a certain dependency on yes,

in oil reserves from russia. they've gone as far as to reach out to nicholas my lord when the p s u v. and so i'm here is leadership in caracas in venezuela. they forwarded the idea of a new rounds of talks with iran, the china employee, the old, colonial tactical, dividing conquer. but the season in time period was leadership in caracas is going to know how to deal with the situation in venezuela. any oppress, blockaded country has every right on the international scene to have economic relations with any major power to alleviate the suffering of this blockade. this existed since the time of barack obama in 2014. so everything has changed in the past 12 days since the russian or intervention in ukraine. and the reaction out of washington is, is surprising. it's a very dynamic situation right now. the use of foreign policy chief says the block

can't follow america's lead and ban russian energy imports, but the european commission has announced a planet to slash its dependence on russian fuel supplies. before the end of this year. we are not going to ban impulsive russian energy. we are not following bite and on this matter, it is a meeting to have discussions on tuesday about this idea of reducing the reliance on russian imports of natural gas and also of oil. just to give you a sense of how important they have been to the block over 40 percent of the gas that comes into the e. u at the moment is from russia and around 25 percent of the crude oil is also from russia. so these are significant portions. what we heard from the vice president of the european commission. this is france timmons at that press conference, is that the block is now going to look to reduce massively. it's dependency on those energy imports from russia as this war in ukraine continue to run along. now

france, him and said that again, we're in ukraine. so lee, being blamed at the foot of president putin not at the russian people, was part of this quite the european union right now feels has to reduce this dependency on russian energy imports. and he said that a part of that was defending europe against it in the abilities this, he said, is one of those vulnerabilities. and the answer for the future, we'd be looking for security when it comes to renewable energy, and also diversifying supply away from russia. by the end of this year, we can replace $100.00 b. c. m of got some ports from russia. that is 2 thirds of what we import from them . this will and our over dependency and give us much needed room to maneuver todd, bloody odd. but it's possible if we're willing to go further and faster than we've done before. there was also a sense from france, tim,

and that they needed to be protection from those who are going to be impacted, particularly as that dependency on russia is weakened as price royces in a price is roy's here in europe. so that's the gas and electricity bills that households and businesses will have to face. we already know that prices have been hugely high since the last autumn. and the e, you said that russia's aggression against ukraine had exacerbated this energy crisis. and because of these extraordinary circumstances, france him and was also asked about the diversification of what people could do. and he had this nugget of advice in the short term, at least for people to look at, reducing their energy at home and help the european union. and reduce its dependency on russia, your choices and how much energy you consume, decide how strong call decide how strong we are in our reaction to russia. you know,

by lowering the temperature in your house. if you come by be more conscious in the choices you make that lead to energy consumption. you can substantially contribute to reducing our energy consumption and thus make a stronger vi's of erotic. however, they have been you countries that have been massively resistive to these sorts of sanctions on energy, particularly germany, which has a higher dependency when it comes to russian supplies coming in a 3rd of our fuel comes from russia. if we stop at now, in a few days, we won't be able to transport ourselves. we've also heard from some energy providers who say, you know, the idea of doing this will be incredibly difficult. and such measures will really impact europe. not right now, but they'll impact europe next winter where people could see their price really significantly increase unless governments are able to do something to mitigate that

elite is expected, discussed much further. these id is on tuesday. and of course, if those sanctions are implemented will be keeping up to date. here. problem is the german seem to be more realistic because of the germans now that without russian gas them, they are to switch of light, it will not be enough electricity even for living. and i'm not talking about the economy and i'm not talking about prices. so we really have to understand that from my point of view in brussels, we have people who are just fighting for ideology ideology, which is trust atlantic. and there's no real is no realism, no realistic view of the situation. that because whatever you want to do it's, it's simple. we have a limited gasp on earth and whether, whether you can change it or not. there is no way maybe russia starts to switch off this because it is fit uh, with head up with these changes. i don't know, maybe russian will make a decision without effects from the russian ukrainian conflict are already being felt across the continent in spain,

as supermarkets in barcelona have started rationing sales of sunflower oil as a quarter of the imports of that product to spain come from ukraine, consumers, fear shortages and higher prices triggering panic, buying in recent days, as the conflict continues, russia says it will keep its energy supplies flowing as usual. despite threats by western countries to impose and embargo, and russia's, deputy prime minister says any serious restrictions could lead to disastrous consequences on global markets. every one 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 wild 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. italians are also feeling the effects of ukraine war with gas prices surging as italy in ports,

almost 40 percent of its gas from russia. we asked italians on the streets to share their opinions about the price hikes. they want to see the sony. so sony be that it's become an unsustainable situation. arnold, i'm really struggling to pay bills. his prices for electricity and gas are increasing the gas supplies for europe should have no connection with what is happening in ukraine liberty. and i asked, i'm having a lot of difficulty paying all these bills, especially for electricity, which has even doubled compared with a few months ago. it's becoming an impossible expense. it's a big problem for all of us citizens see them on a russia supplies gas to many european countries. and it seems to me that it will be really difficult to live without russia gas shamburger. all the prices have increased from raw materials to electricity and fuel. electricity prices are up 40 per cent, and i find it difficult to pay for it figures. but i think europe can survive without rushing gas in by gas in other places. it's a question of organisation where logic, the remain for i don't think europe can do without russian gas because we

fundamentally need this gas. the consumers must be protected and what's happening shouldn't be connected with gas supplies for europe. after years of lucrative operations in russia, many famous western brands are leaving the domestic market, mcdonald's, coca cola pepsi co, and starbucks are just a few of those temporarily suspending their businesses in the country, stopping sales of their products and closing their restaurants and cafes in a sweeping response to the conflict between russia and ukraine, or the does it for me this hour in about $34.00 and a half minutes, i will be back with another full and fresh look at your news as we have special coverage of the war in ukraine. stay with us ah
