[000:00:00;00] a ah, the us is our paying pressure on nations that refused to rule out any friendly ties with moscow and be a being the latest to get lecture down. threatened by washington. weapon is 500 meters of be a designated here. there would not be left of the building behind me. we travel to the southeast and ukrainian city of melissa fall, which despite it being under russian military control, still faith, ukrainian ballistic missile getting through it most go and k. f struggle to come to an agreement on key issues i have resolving the ukraine conflict. not as fighting continues with reports of civilian casualties and destruction of residential areas

. we sat in the basement for a week, hiding from the shooting with thanks for joining us. aeronautics international where it's just turned 9 pm here in the russian cap. so i'll top story this. our, the us is ramping up. pressure against countries traditionally friendly to russia, saying history will be on america's side. india is the latest country being lectured by the west, though, if it's appears to be back firing, as ortiz told, quarter reports, neutrality is just not good enough for washington anymore. has the ukraine conflict raises on an india considers buying discounted russian oil?
3:02 pm
the white house is telling the world to decide, are you with us, or are you against us or message to, to any country continues to be that obviously abide by the sanctions. but that we are, we have put in place and recommended. i don't believe this would be violating that, but also think about where you want to stand when, when the history books are written in this moment in time and support for the russian leadership is support for an invasion. that obviously is having a devastating impact. new delhi isn't the only one being pressured by the western camp. china to has been accused of picking the wrong side despite beijing saying i would rather stay out of the whole thing. well, china is already on the wrong side of history when it comes to, to ukraine and the aggression being committed by russia. as for the us, it seems like no matter how many toes it steps on, washington will say it's still one of the good guys. it doesn't matter that oil prices have risen 40 percent this year,
3:03 pm
and india could seriously reduce its energy bills with discounted imports from russia. the us even threatened india with sanctions for the recent purchase of s $400.00 missile defense systems for moscow. it's as if the white house things india, the world's largest importer of russian weaponry, should just radically change its trade deals at the drop of a hat. india not only depends on russian weaponry, but it also relies hugely in moscow for military upgrades and modernization as it moves towards self reliance in his defense sector. at the top it all off, washington is offering nothing to replace what it's asking india to give up. i would like to ask our american friends, what kinds of defense technology have you given us? what the u. s. is offering is the f. 16 fighter aircraft re branded as the f 21. the f. 16 is obsolete from the unimportant view we went for the mig 21 in the 1900 sixty's because the f 104 was denied india were seeing the same kind of thing. on the other hand, it's not for nothing that india is enjoyed friendly relations with russia for so
3:04 pm
long. over the past 69 years, new delhi and moscow have only diverged a handful of times that un votes. throughout the pandemic, russia has sent 10 tons of medical aid to india. and what is the u. s. offered demands, threats and smack talk. give me a shout on india because it's one country which has. busy substantive relationship with russia, and that's also, you know, white teams pick, those are the economy and in national security, i mean you can smell reading well that we are not good at block mentality. so that's the, that's just a worry here also that you don't, don't know, it becomes all one more difficult. it dependence on russia for india in the us national security. it will collapse without definition. sure. so, you know,
3:05 pm
they're talking to us on the track where there is really no far back decision for him. the u. s. is also pushing china to join anti russian sanctions. so president, she apparently refused to be coerced on a friday call with his american counterpart, washington has also warned not to provide material support to russia and american lawmakers and now seeking to sanction chinese financial institutions, helping russia conduct transactions after it was barred from the international swift financial payment system. diplomats and journalists, gregory clark says the west is using the ukraine crisis to provoke china and disruptive warm relations with russia. china, china. her will put his interest 1st, but his interest at the moment. i think, in cooperation with russia. because it is quite clear that it will not get much
3:06 pm
corporation from america. worse is trying very hard to use the ukraine issue to, i should say, provoke china or to find some something guilty in the chinese response. but i, so far they have not had much success. and i don't think they'll have much success in the future. south africa has lay the blame for the situation in ukraine, squarely on nato. the countries president point sounds even the us lead military block. so both is had repeatedly admitted the dangers of reckless expansion rights to russia's border. the war could have been avoided. if nato had heated the warnings from amongst its own leaders and officials over the years that its eastward expansion would lead to greater,
3:07 pm

3:22 pm
ukraine wants to be and it's majority and settled with that and quit because this is in sanity, it is utter insanity. it is making a pariah of food. and i understand that the george kevin j. k. diplomat told colin powell about easter, the expansion of nato and the dangers of it when he was his chief of staff absolutely was 98 or 9 years old at the time. and he actually said it was the biggest strategic mistake american made in the post cold war era. and might be the biggest one that we made in the so called cold war panorama. and i agree with him it, it made no sense whatsoever. it was done principally for arms, merchants and arms sales and money to be made. i think you're looking at an alliance. it's looking for a purpose and it's been looking for a purpose ever since the goal oriented
