4:05 am
i have acute pancreatitis was very hard here. i went down to the basement, only when the da nats troops came. we slept on the floor. then when a tank open fired us, the ukrainian soldiers had enough hypocrisy to come and ask how we are here. if we are still alive and only then we went down to the basement. the lugens republic now controls more than 90 percent of its territory. this, according to russia's defense ministry, and as the front line moves forward, ortiz murray phenomena comments from very me to by meter village off to village f to village. the login's, great public armed forces a capturing ground, liberating people. but sometimes there is not much of a population left to liberate. like here in netscape, which voters the region of hud. gov and the frontline. the sign says attention. children are walking to school, but they haven't been kids here for weeks. schools are closed. we searched all through the village and only found 2 women. larry says one of them was of the
4:06 am
shipper for where alive steel people have left their properties, their livestock, those who are the most afraid are staying. i can't lose hard people should be true to their consciences under any circumstances, whether the salaries paid or not the work should be done. larissa, the social worker, the for the war. she took care of several locals but all of them have gone well oh most oh, there is one just one that larissa decided to stay here for you, right? so there is no where to go. whether they are shooting or not, i can't his hide in the basement. come inside. look at how this elderly woman is leaving. now hon. and as out of this house is almost 50 years old. it's now half destroyed by shelling. the woman is twice as old and seems to be in better shape than her. her him, she brought her food bushes over there. you got send her to me. it's scary. yes.
4:07 am
but what can we do? nothing. roberson, good running is the only solution for many when we drive to the front line, civilians are driving away from it. cage in every car, scared but come, their parents exhausted, had no more words. why? it's all a real move. those we talked to here often say they didn't expect the conflict to go on for long. but there are plenty of songs that key of was preparing for a long battle. these for if occasion by ukraine's armed forces is very tough, there could be minds on this field. so we cannot go any further, but we can use camera to show it to you. the walls made of reinforced concrete, a deep entry way, an arm or door. i believe it can survive the heavy artillery attack and there are many of them like this on both sides of the road. i believe it takes months to build the system, like they said, whoever decided to do it,
4:08 am
had been preparing for war. and this is just one location, solid forest with underground tunnels and extensive networks of trenches stretched all across the don bus region. fortifications left from war war to roll. so massively used, they are built around the towns full of civilians which makes it extremely hard to advance. but at this point, it seems there is no way back reef notion or hearty from logan's grip public refugees from the done yes. can city of variable have been fleeing to the russian town of target rog, about 100 kilometers to the east? they have been receiving safe accommodations, but worry about relatives. they had to leave behind russian rescuers or trying to do everything to help the refugees. distributing food and water, helping transport their belongings. one woman shared her heartbreaking story. i mean, you know, doing the bombing caused the concrete slab to come lose and fall into my son. his
4:09 am
father was also there, but it wasn't even pulled out of the wreckage. my son was screaming for 5 hours neighbors got him out of there and brought him to the hospital. there is no way to reach him and i don't know how to transport my son. he definitely can't walk on his own. they said also that he had something wrong with his hands. i don't know whether he can pres, bottom or not. i'm afraid to imagine what will happen if he doesn't undergo surgery . the 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 yes, but miss led readers to believe that the attack was by the russian military. this is according to russian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria is the heart of who accused the paper last stump of prejudice in its reporting. and the image shows scattered bodies and grieving people in done yet with the headline quote, thus, care of is facing a final assault. so hot about accused the publication of committing
4:10 am
a falsification as it apparently wasn't the ukrainian capital in the photo and italian photo journalist with substantial expertise in the don bus. georgia bianchi denounced la tampa reporting and sent a formal complaint to the paper. that's what i'm but i mean, i think the stem for newspapers openly cited 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 given full information to readers. try 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, where trans rebalance information in some way, but at the moment the hope population writing 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
4:11 am
propaganda being made in italy even comparable to that been created in ukraine. it is shameful. the director of the newspaper was 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 you ask, showing the severity of the humanitarian situation. but russia military says it was a ukrainian missile strike, aimed at rub residential area. and a bit of a warning for viewers. you may find the following video particularly distressing. the, the, the news reported that $23.00 civilians were killed and 3 dozen wounded, including children. the missile was said to be carrying cluster munitions,
4:12 am
prohibited by international law. ukraine denies committing such an attack. in italy, civilian airport workers in the city of pisa have alleged that weaponry and munitions are being sent to ukraine disguised as humanitarian aid. several workers refused to load. one of the fights with the alleged military cargo and italian trade union has even struck out in protest against the flights saying the public was being deceived. the cargo was reportedly to go to nato basis in poland, and then to be shipped to neighboring ukraine. italian, airport workers expressed their discontent at the alleged deception. okay, i've got some workers at the airport where we are pieces. galileo galle, civil airport, called is saying that they had been asked to load a civilians, humanitarian aid flight, but they realized that it was combat materiel. it was weapons, they participated in the zone battalion, these weapons paid for with our money and up in the hands of nazis. it's necessary to make that clear that we're in the square because we're against providing weapons
4:13 am
to ukraine. this doesn't mean that we're not in solidarity with the ukrainian people, but we're convinced that providing weapons prolongs the war and violates our italian constitution in our laws. we heard from the leader of the italian communist party, who says that supplying weaponry to ukraine would violate italy's constitution. they would come in the italian parliament discussed sending military aid and rejected. that idea of our country's coming to you in western pressure is not respecting our fundamental laws in our constitution. article 11 explicitly states that the italian republic repudiate war, so by sending weapons to other countries, we break the rules laid out in our constitution. the overwhelming majority of people is against sending weapons and military equipment to ukraine. and people understand that in this way, italian officials are fueling the conflict to governments across europe do not accept people's demands. they only carry out some formalities to pretend that they
4:14 am
respect the law. we really hope that the government changes its approach and chooses policies, the respect, the real wishes of the people. the u. s. is wrapping 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 backfiring ortiz, don quarter comments. neutrality is just not good enough for washington any more. as the ukraine conflict rages 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 into any country continues to be that obviously abide by the sanctions of 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, i end up support for rush. the russian leadership is support for an, an invasion that obviously having
4:15 am
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 it would rather stay out of the whole thing. shine is already on the wrong side of history when it comes to, to ukraine in 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, and india could seriously reduce its energy bills with discounted imports from russia. the u. s. even threatened india with sanctions for its recent purchase of s $400.00 missile defense systems from 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,
4:16 am
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. we're 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 you and 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 substantial relationship with russia. and that's also in that whiting sick. those are the economy and in national security,
4:17 am
i mean you can slow reading well that we are not with a block mentality. so that to see what you hear also that you don't know, it becomes more difficult in dependence on russia for india does. national security will collapse without definition. sure. so you know, they're talking to us on the track where there is really no fallback position for in the u. s. is also pushing china to join anti russian sanctions. although president, she reported they refused to be coerced in a friday call, with his american counterpart, washington had also warned not to provide material support to russia. and american lawmakers are now seeking to sanction chinese financial institutions, helping russia conduct transactions. after some russian banks were barred from the international swift financial payments system. diplomats and journalists,
4:18 am
gregory clark says the west is using the ukraine crisis to provoke china and disrupt its warm relations with russia. china is china. i will put it soon interest 1st, but his interest at the moment lie, i think, in cooperation with russia because it's quite clear that it will not get much corporation from america. the west is trying very hard to use the ukraine issue to a how should we say, provoke china or to find some something guilty in the chinese response. but so far they have not had much success. and i didn't think that have magic's success in the future. south africa
4:19 am
has laid the blame for the situation in ukraine squarely on nato. the countries president pointed out that even the u. s. lead military blocks own bosses, had repeatedly admitted the dangers of reckless expansion right 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 it's eastward expansion would lead to greater, not less instability in the region. a member of the african national congress youth league, says nato's destructive motives have always been clear. we are not naive. we lived and we understand history. nato was formed dimension for the man under the auspices of peace. but we have never seen nature to anything peaceful. why not popping of the? well, it's what we're applicants and we want to have a position. and our position is that we side with the oppressed people of don't boss who have been bombarded with bombs for the past 8 years. and they don't have
4:20 am
the luck, an opportunity to appear on a daily basis on see and, and therefore it is our responsibility to speak for them. russia is not asking us to take their side as they take a certain group of innocent in people because russia has not a tech in it. no, some people, russia has been going for military installations in euclid. we are not for much into taking a psycho flash not but we are student of history and it tells us currently that close than 15 is correct. 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 parties shall davinsky reports . when the conflict in ukraine began, vladimir putin claimed that one of the objectives was the de next vacation of the
4:21 am
country. but has the war served to increase the sort of solidarity between white supremacists? at the start of the conflict ukraine's president called for help. and that call has been heated some 20004 voyages and believed to have made their way to the conflict with region. now, while the majority of individuals who just want to support ukraine in that 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 a land where people who have this use. i can exercise the
4:22 am
ideology with immunity, whereas in their home countries, they are not allowed to even a publicly express patrick street views. according to experts online white supremacist extremist channels are in overdrive. they say that there has been an increase in sharing of content such as anti semitic conspiracy theory, while a telegram channel ukraine's fall, right? national 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 intelligence groups. i haven't noticed this level of movement wide recruitment cavity, since he is law mc state declared, it's so called caliphate in 2014 and such sympathizers globally to join. it's full
4:23 am
among the hundreds of individuals who have announced their intent to joint as of in recent weeks or several, no neo nazis. now one of is a fringe 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 and bolstering old wits 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 the ukraine is de facto deny supplied, there will be a huge neo nazi filling the ass for 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
4:24 am
kind of the future shoulder. and this 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're seeing now is that new knob is 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 booster 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 chance 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
4:25 am
a strong nation may rise from the ashes. our job is to ensure that conditions remain 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, is this? it's not just ukraine, which is 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. and some of these recruits could have unpalatable links to terror groups. an even bigger worry is what happens when this rule is over and these 4 and 5 just put 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 challenge even sky r t. paris. stay tuned throughout the day as we give you more coverage of the word ukraine. this is our to international.
4:26 am
ah ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great?
4:27 am
in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah
4:28 am
ah a hello and welcome to was a part of their own war at the wrong place at the wrong time and wrong me. this is how the 5 star years general, bradley advocated against extending the korean war to china in 1915 back down the american establishment heated the civilized. but more than 70 years later, it seems to be eager to test it out with another nuclear power can be conflict in an over ukraine grow into a wider regional, perhaps even global confrontation. well, to discuss that i'm now joined by
4:29 am
a retired major general of the indian army. i'm the editor of the indian military review d oxy general of actions. great to talk to you a great to see you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. thank you and now introduce the want to one of the greatest non violent resistance traditions. i think we all like to consider ourselves to be spiritual children of mahogany, but it's also home to one of the strongest armies in the world. and you've given that institution many years, many decades, in fact, of your life as a name dan, as a spiritual person. and as a general, i wonder how do you look at war? why do you find it if not acceptable, then at least understandable a tradition as a traditional right? yes. or just when you are fighting or just cause well then you
4:30 am
there is no other option that you have exhausted. all right? all methods. ok. and then the other side of the bank, you know, looking for conflict, vendor, wondering beverage. do you think that i'm afraid you have to take off of it does cover to start to pick up then that is the tradition of the idea was that i should've responded well yours won't be color just want to but you know as i'm sure you would agree with me and it's hard to find an appointment to counseling that doesn't believe that they are fighting. and i'm just more everybody who's finding believe that they are on the right side of history. when you look at what's happening between russia and ukraine, how easy is it for you to figure out who is in the right and who is in the wrong? let me be one of them. i am a soldier. my 1st.
