9:04 pm
amid the conflict. refugees have been provided accommodations in schools and other areas such as in russia's southern rust off region. many of the evacuees have been left in limbo, not knowing what to do next. so sure. they came to the basement and told us to run, we left everything then ran to the bus. i couldn't see my daughter and grandson. i don't know where they are now. i'm lost in. com, contact them. we sat in the basement for, for maybe 5 days. i was told the soldiers had moved into my apartment. they said the soldiers liked it. i have only my keys left. many residents of the dawn bus republics have done yet scandal guns remained trapped in conflict areas. amid airstrikes and intense fighting, rushes military has delivered more than 3 and a half 1000 tons of humanitarian aid to the dumbass this month with supplies including food and bottles, water handed out directly to women, children and the ukrainian troops allegedly opened fire while retreating from one

9:06 pm
civilians in the basement here. the fight is new, this is what i have. acute pancreatitis was very hard here. i went down to the basement only when the dynette troops came, we slept on the floor. then when a tank open fire at us, the ukrainian soldiers had enough pock received to come and ask how we are here. if we were still alive and only then we went down to the basement. rushes military says it repelled a multiple missile attack by ukrainian forces on residential areas in the south eastern city of mili topo on friday. now russian air defense systems reportedly shot down the 3 missiles with the ukrainian missile launch system. also being destroyed to prevent further attacks. no casualties have been reported. he has yet to comment on the incident. local authorities say the city is trying to rebuild since russian forces to control some weeks ago. our correspondent what i got your comments from the ground. the city have mellowed tubal, under the control of russian forces for weeks had just begun to come back to life.
9:07 pm
the fighting had moved on and fear had begun to dissipate. at about 430 this morning, the city of military people was, was woken up to 3 tremendously loud bluffs that echoed all over the city. as people lay to learn these with 3 ballistic missiles torch go ballistic missiles that were launched by the cranium military at the city had multiple, all 3 was shot down in the air. unfortunately, these are a huge things that are carry hundreds of kilograms of explosives. so the wreckage hasta fold somewhere. in this case it was on these 2 houses. this miss all by the way is the same type that was used in dan yet, sc lodged on the nearest city causing more than a dozen casualties. they're mostly pensioners who are in line at 80 ems to withdraw
9:08 pm
their pensions. as you can see here, there's also shrapnel damage and on this car, elements of the war had, must have survived. as they fell here, rained down on the city, a civilian a civilian neighbourhood. there were families in both houses, collision when my wife went flying and crashed into me, knocking me off the sofa. and then we both went flying into the wall, slamming into it. that is how powerful the blast wave was, which is yours. my son. he was in the room next to where it happened. we saw said impacted, intact. nothing would have been left of these houses. fortunately it was. they breathed rain down on the roofs. and the houses burned up rather than rosalind exploded. but this is an especially sorry situation. even though nobody died, nobody was hurt because this is a desperate time for many and in ukraine. these difficult to come by
9:09 pm
funds because most of most enterprises and businesses are currently shut. for now, the people that live here will have to stay with friends and relatives, mellot, opal got off light. all things considered russian air defenses are on permanent alert. if a single ballistic missile gets through the devastation would be her rendez. here now the remains of yet another ukrainian torch go ballistic missile. this one that, that fell, or was shot down, just shy of beard dunc city. over the last few weeks, we have seen the ukrainian side launching more and more of these ballistic missiles at towns and communities here in southern ukraine. the radius destructive radius of this weapon, he's 500 meters. if this had designated here,
9:10 pm
there would have been nothing left of those buildings behind me. here is another part of the me saw that was knocked down these weapons come with very different bull heads. there are explosive types which devastates the area. there also potentially new clip payloads for this, for this miss all, and also band cluster munitions. we have been told that this one in particular carried cost the munitions, this is the casing of a cluster bomb cassette. we haven't seen any more. the warhead babs felt in a different area, but it does go to show the danger that civilians here face. there seems to be no pattern who order to watch ukrainian batteries attack. targeted areas have little to no rush and true presence. the use of cluster bombs also suggests the goal is fear, as does the day bree of intercepted ukrainian missiles,
9:11 pm
this is one part of what remains of a ukrainian torch go tactical ballistic missile that was launched and intercepted by russian forces launched here at the port of john skate a simian port. these miss all wants into separate. as i mentioned, the damage that it could have done to the portal. since he's here work as if it hadn't been in to set that would have been catastrophic ballistic missiles given the grave threat that they pose, undoubtedly on top of russia's demilitarization, least for ukraine. be it the easy way, or the hard way. ornaments you winners it, give you the rugs russian forces detected where the missiles were launched from to prevent further attacks on residential areas to ukrainian ballistic missile launchers near the city of zap, rogia were destroyed by a scanner,
9:12 pm
missiles the increasing frequency with which ukraine has launched. ballistic missiles at civilian targets, said jess, desperation together perhaps with fear of losing launches and me selves to russian crews. michelle, all air strikes, whatever the reason, add defenses on a guaranteed shield. if even a single one makes it through hundreds upon hundreds of civilians could perish in an instant. and keith is well aware or at gazda of ot, from millet opal ukraine. meanwhile, in texas, supporters of moscow's military operation wave to the flags of russia and the done yachts people's republic. in a show of solidarity from on this, we can cross live to political analyst jackson. hinkle, thank you for being with us here on our international. thank you for having me on. so this demonstration is an awesome opposed the official us policy against the
9:13 pm
russian military operation. could there be any consequences for the participants there? i think that we've already seen consequences in so far as you know, a lot of the participants and speakers at this event are media figures. political analysts like myself, and we've been coming under much censorship from us authorities like you have yourself in covering the current conflict in ukraine. that as we all know, was really provoked by nato. so what about these demonstrations? do you think that the view of any of the demonstrators themselves are shared by many americans? most americans, is this a friends group or give me your thoughts? i think the beautiful thing about the people of this country is that they are waking up to the lies that are being fed to them by the deep state, by figures like victorian newland of the us state department. and the recognizing
9:14 pm
that as they've lied about, you know, other major stories and current events in recent years. that this is another instance in which the u. s. public is being fed lies by the likes of cnn and m. s, nbc and cbs, and so on. and so forth. so we're beginning to see more and more people recognize and wake up to these lies in see the propaganda that's playing outright before you know our screens in our televisions. and i think it's really incredible still though we have a lot of people who are either being directly manipulated or are buying into, ah, the pro war posturing of the us state department. for example. we have a majority of americans that currently say they support a no fly zone over ukraine. but then we also simultaneously have a majority of americans who say that they don't want the u. s. to participate in conventional warfare in ukraine. if you know what a no fly zone would bring,
9:15 pm
you know that it would bring conventional warfare and those 2 polling numbers are contradictory. so there still is a lot of manipulation, but people are waking up. um, in terms of manipulation, you mentioned earlier, the mainstream media and what inflation people have access to. but do americans know the russian position, that after 8 years of ukrainian military attacks on the dumbass, moscow felt compelled to protect those people of they're not getting from what i can tell any access to the other side as or i will say yes, it is very troubling that you have so many people in this country who are really only seeing one side of this, this travesty what is currently unfolding because you see a lot of people average americans who are outraged over the civilian casualties that are taking place right now in this current conflict,
9:16 pm
but never once over the past 8 years did they shut it tear or post something on social media about the 14000 individuals who were slaughtered in a ukrainian, a symmetric often military campaign against the people that can hans 25 percent of those 14000 were civilians and 81 percent of those civilians died on the side of ben. that's in law. so yes, unfortunately, people are not well aware of that history, nor are they aware of the history that the us started this entire conflict by the posing and leading a crew against the democratically elected governments of ukraine in 2014. 1 thing that america is famous for and it's good about america, is that people can have different opinions, but it does polarize extremely. so if we peel back who, who believes what, cuz we might not be able to change those ideas. but is there any potential for the
9:17 pm
us to find common ground with the russian position on the issue or are we had a deadlock? i think there definitely is potential for that to take place and i think we're beginning to see it. because again, as i mentioned, there's more and more americans who are waking up to the lies. and at the end of the day, the working families and working people of the united states have far more in common with the working families and working people of russia and of the people's republic of. that's can hans then they do have in common with the all the guards who run our country in the oligarchs. we're crafting the. 3 mismatch and this information that is leading people to become manipulated about this current conflict. so i do think there's the potential for that. we're already seeing that there is a very high amount of. busy non college educated white voters in this country, many of whom made up the trump mago base,
9:18 pm
who are opposed vehemently to any sort of u. s. escalation or involvement in this current conflict. all right, jackson hankle political analyst from the u. s. thanks interesting to hear thoughts on our attention. thank you. i know popular italian newspaper this week showed a photo of what appeared to be the aftermath of a ukrainian military strike on the city of done yet, but misled readers to believe the attack was by the russian military. this is according to russian foreign ministry sources spokeswoman res honda, who accused the paper less stump of prejudice in his reporting of the image shows scattered bodies and grieving people in the done yet with the headline quote thus key if is facing a final assault. so hot of accused the publication of committing a falsification as it apparently wasn't the ukrainian capital and the photo. italian photo journalist with substantial experience in the dumbass george o bianchi denounced la stamp as reporting and sent
9:19 pm
a formal complaint to the paper. that's what i'm but i mean, i think the stem from newspapers openly signed it in favor of ukraine against russia, and it's taking a stone against russia, encouraging its readers to think against russia. i think this is giving forth information to readers, trying to manipulate them with photos and misleading news. making the reader believe that it was the russians who carried out that massacre rather than the ukrainian. the thing the angles me of this real massacre was done with the intention of blaming russians. unfortunate information, italy is completely one sided. we're trying to re balance information in some way. but at the moment, the hope population rising on social media on the internet on websites has only one idea of going against russia. ross, a phobia is rising, going against most good, is going against russian culture against russian traditions. i believe that the propaganda being made in italy's even comparable to that been created in ukraine. it's shameful. the director of the newspaper was
9:20 pm
a guest on an important italian tv program. when he was asked to talk about what his newspaper wrote, the director embarrassed himself saying that the image published in his newspaper was correct. he was very arrogant. ukraine's foreign ministry shared these images taken by a russian photographer in done yet sc, showing the severity of the humanitarian situation. but russia's military says, it was a ukrainian missiles strike aimed at the residential area and a wanting for viewers. you may find that the following video particularly distressing the it is reported that 23 civilians were killed and 3 dozen wounded, including children. the missile was said to be carrying cluster munitions, prohibited by international law. ukraine denies committing such an attack.
9:21 pm
the u. s. is ramping up pressure against countries traditionally friendly to russia, saying history will be on america side. india is the latest country being lectured by the west. though efforts appear to be back fine arches. don, quarter comments. neutrality is just not good enough for washington anymore. has the ukraine conflict raises on an india considers buying discounted russian oil? the white house is telling the world to decide, are you with us, or are you against us or message to enter any country continues to be that obviously abide by the sanctions. but that we, 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
9:22 pm
camp. china to has been accused of picking the wrong side despite beijing saying it 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. that's 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, 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
9:23 pm
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 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 in that whitening stick. those are the economy and in national
9:24 pm
security, i mean you can smell reading well that we are not with a lot 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 city will, will hold ours. we don't definition. sure. so, you know, they're talking to us on the track where there is really no far back position for just days after the conflict in ukraine started ukraine's president asked for volunteers to join an international legion. ukrainian authorities have said that about 20000 people from 52 countries have responded, but some experts have raised concerns about a possible influx of volunteers with far right views or she's charlotte davinsky comments. when the conflict in ukraine began, vladimir putin claimed that one of the objectives was the de next vacation of the
9:25 pm
country. it has the war served to increase a sort of solidarity between white supremacists. at the start of the conflict ukraine's president called for help. and that cool has been heated some 20004 voices and believe to have made their way to the conflict with region. now while the majority of individuals who just want to support ukraine in their fight, they're all of those to have a different agenda. this is not something you back in 2014. there was a range of volunteers from all over the world, especially from europe that were coming to mostly to mario, which was the center where also made i would even say some kind of an off in the land where people who have this used. i can exercise the
9:26 pm
ideology but with immunity whereas in their home countries they are not. busy allowed to even a publicly express patrick street views. according to experts online, a white supremacist extremist channels are in the drawings. they say that there has been an increase in sharing of content such as anti semitic conspiracy theory. what a telegram channel ukraine's fall, right? nationalist, power, military and political movement, as all has been packed with messages from across the world. from those who want to join the fight. the flurry of activity is being noted by intelligent scripts. i haven't noticed this level of movement wide recruitment i cavity since he is law mc state declared its so called caliphate in 2014 and sat sympathizers globally to
9:27 pm
join. it's full among the hundreds of individuals who have announced their intent to join as of in recent weeks or several known neo nazis. now, while as old is a french movement in ukraine, it's a military wing, was absorbed into the country's national guard in 2014. it was as old that led the charge of government assaults on the self declared republics in the east of ukraine . could this impulse string over its ranks with die, hard not sees, have a ripple effect, it's long there after the war is over. i believe that after the war is over and ukraine is de facto deny supplied. there will be a huge neo nazi filling the asper are in the west and all over the world that will probably hold a grudge against russia. actually, this kind of ideology was cultivated for some kind of the future shoulder. and this
9:28 pm
is exactly what happened now. i guess that in diaspora there will be people like this that would have logistical support, all the countries that received them. but that's something that is probably going to happen in the future. what we are seeing now is that the, i mean office in is basically encouraged by natal. i'm the political wes, this propose problem for the future of ukraine. it is a country this trying to develop a democracy. it has a band on anti semitism, both through ideals, country to those of follow, right. extremists and messages being shared in neo nazi check groups suggest support for the war isn't just about crane versus russia. these are some of the post those tracks. i am not defending ukraine. i am defending national socialism. this war is going to burn away the physical and moral weakness of our people so that a strong nation may rise from the ashes. our job is to ensure that conditions remain
9:29 pm
terrible enough for long enough for this transformation to happen and happen. it must. our future is at stake and we may not get another chance. certainly not one is good as this. it's not just ukraine, which has seen an interest from foreign fight, is some 16000 to riley to russia's cause too many from countries like theory or a concern has been raised. some of these recruits could have unpalatable links to terror groups. an even bigger worry is what happens when this war is over and these foreign fight both sides head back home. will they have been even more indoctrinated? and what consequences could that have when they apply what they've learned, and then pass that on to a new generation of recruits charlotte, even sky r t. paris. as it does it for me this hour, i will be back in about 30 minutes with another phone. fresh look as news. this is our international
9:30 pm
ah, i ah time option or it has, you know what you're doing on the ground for the final show in the studio, in 19 years to the eve of an invasion of iraq by the u. s. u. k, australia and poland. that would arguably capitalize the killing, wounding, or displacing of tens of millions all around the world was of course, george w bush, a secretary of state, colin powell who held a vial at the un security council to make the flawed case.
