[000:00:00;00] a claim to president, besides martial law, to temporarily bad 11 opposition parties for the suppose it pro russian stands about. he's warned. vladimir, the landscape move is illegitimate. civilians and the next town are trapped in the destroyed hospital after ukrainian troops allegedly open fire at it from a tank or should have been sitting in this basement for more than 2 weeks. i have even lost track of what date is the fighters. we're all based here on the 2nd on 3rd force and conducted active hostilities from the hospitals territory. we had about 400 civilians in the basement. here the fighters knew this and 100 pit the faith of peter to protest it leaves

a shipping of weapons from there to ukraine under the guise of humanitarian aid. ah hello and welcome to r t international on policy. but coming to life on the anti headquarters here in moscow, it's a pleasure to have you. but 1st, let's get through developments around the ukraine conflict. president vladimir zalinski has extended martial law for another 50 days and temporarily banned 11 opposition parties claiming their hold pro russian positions. china's deputy foreign minister meanwhile, says punitive measures against moscow are counter productive and only add fuel to the fire, hurting ordinary people and disrupting the global economy for you and there's, there's a shortage of supplies including food, water medicines, in the cities of murray awful. and to me, russia has more than 3600 tons of humanitarian

a to ukraine. since the start of the common conflict that says cube officials say they have agreed, 7 escape routes with the kremlin moscow safety evacuation of civilians is ongoing. although ukraine is not cooperating fully on the issues, question forces have also destroyed a fuel storage base supplied ukrainian ahmed vehicles in the south of the country, as well as the trading center for foreign mercenaries in northern ukraine. boats are coming from ukraine's 2nd largest, that he had called that at least one person was killed and 11 wounded in the shilling of a regional institute rescue is now searching for survivors. local authorities accused russia of committing the attack. huck of official also reported that another and major russian shedding incident has left 2 people dead, including a 9 year old child. there hasn't been an immediate comment from the russian defense ministry on the matter. more than 3000000 people have fled ukraine since the

start at the conflict with the 2000000 having arrived in neighboring poland, thousands of refugees have been waiting and choose to receive a local id number to allow them to work and get the medical care for the next 18 months, hundreds of thousands of others have gone to hungary, vac no dover and remain yet overwhelming a range of public services. people say they confir turn because it is not safe. i don't know, lucian, my house is still there, but it's not to be there. people haven't come out of the basement for a day. there are also some people who haven't come out since the fighting began in t f. we heard a lot of shooting in our region, it was quieter, but i know that my parents couldn't leave since the beginning. so that's why i realized that we need to evacuate not to end up in the same situation as my parents who now can't believe it's horrible. as i mentioned earlier, ukraine's president has cited martial law to suspend 11 opposition parties. he

claims have progressed instances. one of the biggest parties to be temporarily banned, says the move is simply an illegal power grab. this decision has no legitimate grounds. all accusations are made up by the government to justify their inadequate actions. the only explanation for this move by the authorities as an illegal political take over and a bad faith political fight against their main opponent. all. well, the explanation was actually easy to predict. coming from the president, vol, dimmers, lensky, he has criticized these parties for ties with russia. ties with the aggressor as kia, has constantly been saying, and pretty much he labeled the parties as traders. but you do have to bear in mind that the list is very long, almost a dozen, and on that list, there's the 2nd strongest political force and the parliament. i mean, it has been elected by a large number of people. then besides this,

again on that list, there are famous political brands such as, for instance, the socialist party. and you see if this kind of cracked down occurred anywhere else around the world, perhaps you'd hear a hail storm of critical remarks from western politicians. this time around though this crackdown, i guess that's the only way you can call it on opposition. parties has fallen on deaf ears. and this is something that's been pointed out by politicians here in russia. europe, for its part, is hiding its head in the sand. we, we're right to leave the european council. what is the point of this organisation if it does not fulfil its main task? when it stands aside while observing obvious violations of ukrainian citizens writes, zelinski has finally figured out the intricacies of true democracy. the most democratic president in modern ukraine has taken another step towards western ideals of democracy. if i'm right,

this isn't the 1st time that he has been accused of silencing the opposition as well. let me remind you of a few things. for example, after the 2014 qu on my don as it is being called here in russia, the communist party was banned altogether from the cranium political spectrum. however, before that, it east, when seats and the parliament every time, there was a general election. we could also remember how president war dumars lensky, only several months ago, banned as many as a media organizations, including tv stations that had to go on there at that time. europe's top diplomat joseph bore l, said dan, protecting ukraine from his information shouldn't come a be expensive freedom of press and freedom of expression. so at that time the european officials couldn't stay fall. and this time around though,

the situation is quite different and it's easy to guess why the next for public residents are being hit by indiscriminate ukrainian nationalist shilling. as the forces were treat, the troops allegedly opened fire as patients hid in a hospital basement with fighting ranging around the area. there are no reports of injury so far. we spoke to people still trapped in the damage building. was children who have been sitting in this basement for more than 2 weeks. i have even lost track of what day it is. fresh and trips have finally come to help us. i manage at least to talk to my sister yesterday is just genocide. it's lawlessness. they say glory to ukraine. i have nothing to thank them for for he has everything burned down. i don't know how to go on living like this. i don't know who will help us. thank god, we're alive. lulu, i'm a trauma told us, there is

a lot of work here and we work in unsanitary conditions. the fighters were all based here on the 2nd on 3rd force and conducted an act of hostilities from the hospitals territory. we had about 400 civilians in the basement here. the fighters knew this. laura marie, i have acute pancreatitis was very hard here. i went down to the basement, only when the donato 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, little little kids government as being criticized fall using victims. that it apparently bummed to try and weighs western sympathy over the horrors of wall ukraine's foreign ministry used these images taken by a russian photographer in dentist. but all evidence suggests it was actually a ukrainian missile strike on a residential area. a warning you may find the falling video of the off to meth, disturbing

the, the 23 civilians were reported killed and dozens wounded, including children and missile was said to be carrying cluster munitions which are prohibited by international law. mostly your representative pointed out that the torch cut missile apparently deployed is not used by russian forces. ukraine denies committing the attack. american walker responded patrick lancaster, witness the immediate aftermath of the attack near his apartment. he says there is no doubt that this was another deliberate war, crime on unarmed civilians by ukraine's forces. and that it will happen again. i got to the location where the coach grew less than 10 minutes after and hit because

the impact location was about 200 meters from my apartment. and i immediately went there and i witness to the dozens of civilian, also lost their lives and countless more injured. and there's no question that this was an attack on the civilian population of done yes, by great forces. it's not the 1st time and it wasn't the last on just one day after mackenzie is hit by another ukrainian rock, as there is no doubt that ukraine is targeting the civilian populations of the republics. there's no ifs, ands or buts about it use or direct attacks on the civilian population. well, they're trying to bring down the credibility of anyone that

might report the war crimes that they have been committed by them trying to say, you know, this is the way it was. this is what happened with just pure wise on their part. i mean, this is on an imaginable that a government can attack civilians like this and then say it was not take responsibility for it. but this is what's happening in this is the 1st or the last time they're going to be doing. if you change on the, the next city of my new poll has been filled to the russian town of tag log, about 100 kilometers to the east they, they've been receiving safe accommodations. but of course, to worry about relative that they had to leave behind. rush and whiskers are trying to do everything to help the refugees, distribution, food, and water, and helping transport their belongings. one woman shade her heartbreaking story. me no deductibles it bombing caused a concrete slab to come lose and fall into my son. his 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 biden's or not. i'm afraid to imagine what will happen if he doesn't undergo surgery. the lucas for public has now we've taken control of practically it's whole territory with residents starting to be billed the lives of to 8 years of ukrainian bombing ortiz, maria phenomena took a train that is finally running again to the capital of the republic. we are at a railway station in the town of that i bare skin, the login's, the people's republic, where for the 1st time in 8 years this suburban train is leaving to day for the capital city. also named logan's, it was impossible before these journey because kia force is in control here,

things 2014 saw and still see logan's gaz occupied territory. there were not many connections with that part of the republic, but today it is possible if i didn't raise for one week before that big fell under the control of the republican forces. and now it's one territory. nobody there ah, only days with a passport issued by little guns, people's republic and clearance from local authorities are allowed on board for security reasons. of course, that i may ask has become a hug for civilians please. the front line air is this train is a good option for them to go to look on the other passengers here to you. let them read. oh, i am coming home now. i was visiting and the circumstances made me stay for longer and happy. of course that the train is now a promotional, but the train should go further. the connection between the towns is

a good thing. to mallets, i'm heading to lou ganske and then further on to my mother, i'm pleasantly surprised by this. don't you have a passport? don't you? i do here it is a passport of the logan's people's republic. frightening it was indeed install rebels. the once was a really intense shelley with okay, $26.00 question rubles, which is around 20 us sense. and yes, russian rules are accepted here, but i can also pay with your grade cards is still being used to all they're just 80 kilometers apartments that i bisque. elegans have been like 2 different countries with different time zones. currencies, flags, tv channels, mobile services, but not any more, less trained to part it at 7 am moscow time,

one hour ahead of key if it's the same time and look on this train, make 6 stops before it arrives in logan's today, it's a test trip. so not many passengers, but the authorities say that the train will now run daily with the army advancing and taking control of mo, towns, the trains, buses restored roads and bridges will reunite these long separated areas. reef in ocean r. r t from said i based logan's train. sasha has sent more than 3600 tons of humanitarian aid to ukraine. the latest batch of more than $75.00 tons of food and other essentials was delivered to the southern city of half. don't it come to you and was about to have an italian situation in parts of the country. however, some states appear to be using the cover of humanitarian aid to send weapons to ukraine. that's what civilian a port workers in the italian city of pisa. accuse the government of trying to do a port employees refused to load

a flight with alleged military congo and italian trade union and even protested against the flight thing the public was being deceived. the cargo was reportedly to go to nato basis in poland and then be shipped to neighboring ukraine. a port staffs at the army would best and for king of near ne battalion i looked at some workers at the airport where we are pieces. galileo galle civil airport call this thing that they had been asked to load a civilian humanitarian aid flight, but they realized that it was combat material. it was weapons. they participated in the czar battalion, these weapons paid for with our money. and up in the hands of nazis, it's necessary to make that clear. we're in the square because we're against providing weapons 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 and our laws to italy's move comes of dozens of countries

officially send military assistance to ukraine. the nations coming from the us, it includes anti croft and anti tank systems, as well as other weapons in total worth $800000000.00. the head of an italian political party told us that if confirmed the country's military shipment violates its constitution, they would come in the italian parliament discussed sending military aid and rejected that idea. 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 respect the law. we really hope that the government changes approach and chooses policies, the respect,

the real wishes of the people. don't eat meat to bit russia. that's the surprising message from germany's food minister, who just happens to also be vegetarian. germans have been posting footage of empty shelves as consumers panic by fearing shortages from ukraine and russia. essential like sugar, cooking oil and flour, reportedly in short supply. the countries of food chief insist, it's all part of a cunning plan. by, of course moscow. we have to buy responsibly and only what we need. no one should hold anything at home. no toilet paper, no sunflower oil, otherwise prices will skyrocket, pretends insidious strategy is that there is a shortage of products and he needs photos of empty shelf. i'd by you not to unnecessarily weaponized his propaganda. despite the fact that i'm a vegetarian, i will not preach that everyone should switch to vegetarianism. but let's put it this way, eating less meat would be

a contribution against mister putin. it comes after the even lived most favored nation status for russian goods, pushing them on a par with those made by iran or north korea. they have already been a series of protests against solving prices in europe. increase, hundreds of farmers took to the streets of athens on friday to protest against drastically winding fuel and fertilized prices. connected with the sanctions against russia. they say the production costs are now so high that they're having to significantly cut back their businesses. the greek government has a way to reduce the sales tax from socialized as almost half, and is offering other support measures that farmers say the help is not enough. research fail at the university of hamburg. the citizens are paying the heaviest price for you. leaders guess it will be union that post sanctions and what the european union that we both the most favored nation status,

that is an illegal act under international law. they did it anyway. and now we the citizens of europe and germany. we have to sacrifice their responsibility for their mistake. many copies in germany already have close due to the rising prices. and if we see mass vitamin they want to put the blame on russians is all right and fall. but the truth is, and everyone sees that germans and european politicians for calling this ridiculous and illegal. and people might even start to death in relatively prosperous europe. but it's certainly rules. the people in the world like in africa was already suffering from food insecurity. be affected by this. i mean, this is just ridiculous. the government has to respond to the needs of the people and not just blame everyone bad human needs, like being wall ho for helping, pretty ridiculous and this has to stop. and if they don't put a stop to themselves,

then i'm sure the people will, the coming elections. and memorial to service soldiers has been vandalized with a key f battalions. nazi logo in the greek capital vandals spray painted the infamous assaults battalions wolf, fungus sign on, a monument to soviets. soldiers who died liberating greece from hitches germany in world war 2. the driver nazi parties foster variant, has been adopted by the ukraine's fall right. the monument has been kid of the graffiti, and dozens of greeks gathered with large banners to show their disgust, laying flowers at the site. the russian embassy in athens has described the incident as an unacceptable act of vandalism and court on the government to take action to punish those behind what happened. a greek diplomat and form ambassador told us he's worried by support for ukrainian ultra nationalists in his country. it said that that is highly of all that should be on there by everybody. and it

also shows us that the ukrainian fascist, have put their feet into wish and this is something that's just going sure. all of us are very happy from one point of view that i see anti nazi, and that's the fastest demonstrations being prepared to protest against this atrocious act, which i actually find horrible. and i did not expect that that could be done by leaks. so perhaps some of the refugees that have been traded into from the, from the ukraine. bye. be supporters of. busy the as. busy sheets, i also liked very much the statements of the russian embassy. and i think that the greek over when should

do everything possible to find the perpetrators of such an approved suggest the us hasn't just been supplying ukraine with weapons since it began. shilling the dawn best in 2014, but an investigation by yahoo! news, alleges the c. i a has also been secretly training specialized, ukrainian military units all the time. the report which the ca has yet to comment on came to the agencies operators taught the counterparts the best skills for warfare ortiz caleb malpass, reports ca, paramilitary forces have also been preparing them for special operations against quote, russia and it's separatist allies. we tried to really focus on operational planning than really hard military skills like long res marksmanship, not just the capacity to do it, but to know how to do it on the battlefield. our job is to have an exponential impact. it's not to get our badge for shooting

a russian or something. i think the training really paid off the cia ukraine program was kept secret for 8 years. some of those involved in setting it up worried about what might happen if it was made public. i don't know how we didn't get anybody injured, to be honest, but the covert nature of the mission ensure deniability us officials wouldn't want to say we just had a cia officer killed by a russian in ukraine. that will put the president to the white house in a very bad position. they feared that public knowledge of the program could lead to an unpredictable escalation in the crisis. everything we did in ukraine had the chance to be misinterpreted and asking the tensions how far can you go with existing covert action authorities? if god forbid they shot some russians, is that a problem? do you need special authorities for that? despite concerns, the program went on for years, the cia trained groups of radicals and preparation for conflict,

a proxy war with moscow. it seems they were following the old adage, if you want peace, prepare for war. of course with the opposite effect. the united states age ukraine and her people so that we can fight russia over there. and we don't have to fight russia here. were waging a proxy war against russia, and rightly so, time to face up to what that implies. because prudent in the russians are a lot weaker and the ukrainians a lot stronger than they look. remember, the russians invaded afghanistan back in 1980. it didn't end well for the russians. we had 8 years of war during which some 14000 people were killed, mostly civilians. so this was a very serious, ongoing conflict. very nasty, very bloody on the lake and the people who are now a so in such anguish about ukrainian lives,

they didn't say anything. it's not exactly a surprise. we knew this was over a training program involving the pentagon. the cia phos is something new starting the americans were calculating that they couldn't lose, which is why they were egging ukraine on. encouraging this ukraine is always been useful to washing them as a battering ram to use against russia. despite the words of concern currently echoing through western media, the facts themselves speak volumes. united states has been planning to use ukraine as a bloody battlefield against russia for years, despite any costs necessary. caleb martin, r t new york. well, that brings us to the end of up on it, and i'm calling to say thank you so much for joining us.

with for is your media 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 to somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah, so join us in the devil's will remain in the shallows. ah

ah ah ah ah

ah ah with mm well it was a part of their own war at the wrong place at the wrong time. and when did wrong, and i mean, this is how the 5 star years general omar 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, to be eager to test it out and not their nuclear power can be conflict in an over ukraine grow into wider regional, perhaps even global confrontation. well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by a retired major general of the indian army. i'm the editor of the indian now try review g back. she yelled back. she's great to talk to you. great to see. thank you very much for your time. thank you. thank you. now into introducing the world to one of the greatest known violent resistance traditions. i think we all like to consider ourselves to be children of mahatma again. it's also a home to one of the stronger armies in the world. you've given that institution many years, many decades in fact of your life as a named him as a spiritual person. and as a general,
