a ah, [000:00:00;00] with ukraine refuses to accept russia's plan for evacuating civilians from mario pal where an estimated 130000 people remain stuck amid intense fighting. this is my vest, michaela. i'm not gonna be wearing it because it's hard to sleep instead. i think he's going to serve them well, more or less suitable philip party reports are from an encampment on the outskirts

of ukraine's capital and the german minister suggests contributing to the ukrainian war effort by not eating meat, mid reports of food supply shortages. and among the foreign fighters, joining ukraine's fight against russia are right wing militants from brazil who idolized neo nazi sentiments. widespread among ukrainian ultra nationalists ah forecasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. but have you with us as we covered the latest in the war in ukraine. now russia ledges that ukrainian forces have brought about a humanitarian catastrophe. and mario, paul, as civilians remain trapped in the city and amid intense fighting in recent days. the

numerous buildings have been destroyed as civilians, hyde, in basements, and struggle to obtain food and water due to disrupted supplies. now, despite daily attempts by the russian military to secure safe stones for residents to evacuate, russia says ukrainian forces have been effectively holding locals hostage in their homes, preventing them from leaving the city. those who have managed to escape have told harrowing stories during the bombardment a concrete slab collapsed onto my father and my child. my father wasn't even taken out from the daybreak, and my child was screaming for 5 hours. he was taken out later by neighbors who brought him to us by my father recently underwent surgery. i'm not sure where he is or whether he can walk. about 60000 people managed to evacuate. the embattled city at the weekend. russia military says it's opening more humanitarian court doors on monday, both to russia and the ukrainian side,

and even promised to spare the lives of ukrainian forces if they lay down their weapons and leave mario. but in response to moscow's initiative to provide safe routes for civilians, ukraine has emphasized its forces will continue to fight for the city the russian and a chinese journalist covering the battle for me. or you will have allegedly come under fire from ukrainian artillery with one chinese reporter, wounded journalists. say that they were walking on the street when they heard the sound of an explosion. a shell landed just 50 meters from them, forcing them to hit the ground and then seek shelter. meanwhile, king hasn't been preparing for a siege by russian forces with residents fleeing and mass and government, mobilizing troops, mayor vitaly could go, has surveyed the aftermath of alleged strikes on the ukrainian capital within a remote one. the, the building is destroyed, windows are blown out completely,

cars are burned up. thank god, no one was killed. several people were hospitalized. it was intended to frighten people, but that won't happen. ukrainians are not afraid. these actions, insight, more hate, and a stronger desire to oppose the aggressor. russian forces have reportedly been gathering on the outskirts of cave, in an apparent push to take the ukrainian capital. archie correspondent, it was done of reports from a russian army encampment there. so was come right behind rushes, positions outside key of we are literally behind the line of contact. we've come here to spend the night the 1st time we're doing so, but this time we'll try to show you what it is like here. so we're going to switch to filming, and night mode, so that you can see everything because the nights is usually when it's most busy here actually. so we'll see if it holds true now as well. so here's a little glimpse into how we're going to be spending the night here. this is the back of

a russian military truck several sleeping bags because obviously i'm not alone here . my crews sleeping here with me. this is my vest, my kevlar vests. i'm, i'm not going to be wearing it because it's hard to sleep instead. i think it's going to serve as a well more or less suitable pillow. a very heavy gun slate has broken out just at the perimeter of our can't be 100 meters away. so i guess, well, quite expect to leave the 1st time we wake up to

hearing as the incoming shots from the ukranian sub photos. and now the russians are turning to 5 normally after that, the artillery comes next. well i guess any sort of comment would be redundant here. you could see everything yourself sleepless nights, the key of sleepless nights for well troops on both sides of the front, we are going to try and get some shut eye and head back. meanwhile, siding martial law ukraine's president zelinski has temporarily banned 11 opposition party saying that they are to pro russian. he even accused them of collaborating with moscow. we've got the nice book,

the activities by politicians aimed at discord and collaboration will not succeed, but they will face a tough response. that is why the national security and defense council of ukraine has decided that given the large scale war unleashed by the russian federation and links between it in some political structures, the activities of a number of political parties is suspended for the period of the martial law. a mayor, opposition, major opposition, party excuse me, for life platform swiftly denounced the ban as unlawful. russian senior officials have also called it a violation of civil rights. this decision has no legitimate grounds. all accusations are made up by the government to justify their inadequate actions. the only explanation for this moved by the authorities as an illegal political takeover and a bad faith political fight against their main opponent. europe, for its part, is hiding its head in the sand. we were right to leave the european council. what

is the point of this organization 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. pierre emanuel thompson, of the french institute of jo politics, questions whether ukraine's leadership is respecting freedom of opinion in the country. yes, regime under or prison. this see of mr. zelinski or wood in the past as shown, but so is the faith state. and we were a huge pressure on, on freed of opinion. there is no freedom opinion there way or would either pass or the journalist we were eliminated in ukraine because i turned that you opinions, there were assassinations, zalinski is or is image is used in the west as

a sort of the role due to damage sure, of a reputation of russia complete disinformation campaign in the west about mr. zelinski also, or some media last year or so spoke about to the link of mister zelinski in pandora papers. we've huge corruption cases and no, it doesn't exist anymore. nobody speaks about that anymore. don't eat meat to beat russia. that's the message from germany's agriculture minister, who just so happens to be vegetarian, as he suggests what his countrymen can do to oppose the conflict in ukraine. the germans have been panic, buying groceries over fears of shortages caused by supply chain disruptions due to the war in ukraine. there have been rumors about deficits of major food items, including meat, sugar, cooking oil, and flour countries. agriculture minister puts the blame squarely on russia. 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. peyton's insidious strategy is that there is a shortage of products and he needs photos of empty shelf. i advise 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 mr. newton. you no longer considered russia to be a favorable nation for food supplies, putting the country on par with iran and north korea. but meanwhile, there have been protests against the surgeon costs of food in europe. we heard from a research fellow at the university of hamburg, who says, ordinary people are paying a high price for their governments positions on the conflict. it was your opinion that imposed sanctions. was your opinion that we vote 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, their responsibility for their mistake. many tactics in germany already have close due to the rising prices. and if we see mass on a vitamin, they want to put the blame on rushes, it's all right and fall. but the truth is everyone sees that it's germans and your p politicians for calling this ridiculous illegal. and people might even stop to death in relatively prosperous europe, but certainly rules the people in a pop up 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. this is ridiculous and this has to stop. and

if they don't put a stop to themselves, then i'm sure that people will at the coming elections. the british government has set up a special unit to push its official positions to people in russia, reportedly buying up advertising space on the popular social networking contact. you know, the unit is reportedly to focus on shaping opinions about the ukraine conflict. it is to present the british governments official stances and materials, including statements by a prime minister boyce johnson, to viewers on laptops, tablets, and smartphones. v k will contact you has said that ads on its platform are thoroughly screen we heard from geo political analyst, patrick headings, and who says western countries have been seeking to block out the russian perspective on key issues by bombarding people with opposing information doesn't it shouldn't surprise, anybody at all after, after all, this is information warfare full on. so this is an extension of the

military battle space is the information warfare space and the west western countries have been engaged in this as, as has every country really, it never ends. what this is, is there wasn't enough to cancel russia. what they have to do is open a new front to target actual people in russia as well. so this is a new information front that the u. k. governments. i think there is a huge golf and understanding in this sort of liberal, progressive west for instance. and a lack of understanding of what of how people in the, in eastern countries or near east countries see themselves how they form their national identity or what their beliefs and their, their strong affiliations are their, what their world view is there, there's a complete golf there there's an assumption that everyone in the east desires the

western lifestyle. think what if britain is true to its values of free speech? if the united states is true to its upholding its values of transparency and free speech, then they should allow all viewpoints to be aired and let the people decide what's factual and what's not. in memorial to soviet soldiers in athens has been vandalized with graffiti depicting the logo of a reputed neo nazi group fighting for ukraine. b. as of battalion logo, apparently based on the not the wolf's angel symbol was spray painted on the monument to soviet soldiers, who died liberating greece from hitler's forces. in world war 2, the nazi symbol has been widely used by far right groups in ukraine. the monument has it been cleared of the graffiti and dozens of greek scattered with large manners, to show their disgust and laid flowers at the site. the russian embassy and athens has described the incident as an unacceptable act of vandalism,

and called on the government to take action to punish those responsible. a greek diplomat and former ambassador told us that he's worried about support for ukrainian far right groups in his country. it said that that is highly of all that should be on there by everybody. and it also shows us that you thing and fascist, put their feet into wish and this is something that you want. 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 would be done by leaks. so perhaps some of the refugees that have been traded into from the,

from the ukraine by the supporters of. busy the. busy sheets, i also liked very much the statement of the russian embassy, and i think that the government should do everything possible to find so dangerous . such a militant from abroad who share the neo nazi sentiments of the ukrainian far right . have been rushing to join ukraine's foreign legion, including fighters from brazil, raising concerns that they will bring back reinforced extremist views. if they return home. artillio katrinka comments the distance between care of and real is an arrow, is almost 11000 kilometers. that's further than tokyo from london. so perhaps you'd be a bit surprised to know that a group of right wing supporters of brazilian president ball so narrow from brazil, obviously joined the ranks of militias,

a new crane to defend the key of an motherland brazilian missionaries in these environment con could then moment of fame and glory as it was a great reality show. i think that's what happens. we have to understand our era, this self ideology, how my own era, and how this social media, how they did this. so show her how depressed is presenting ukrainian in the western world? i mean i, there is a kind of a to tin as a lansky and his follower around as heroes often no go calls. so it's, it's kind of environment is very strong. and to put many people shown themselves to fighting is struggling alongside

with if that's, that's what's happening therein. balls to save the grain from putin seemed to diminish after our call bowed. housing for an armed pro, key of volunteers was destroyed by a russian air strike me 1st. and there were special forces from all over the world from france, from all over europe, south korea, chile, the usa, canada. and simply the information we have is that they all died. you guys don't understand what it's like to have a fighter jet fire, a missile at you. thank god, i got out beforehand. perhaps real war turn out to be quite different from street protests where right wing activists would take on police. but why would sympathizers of ukrainian nationalist movements appear in brazil and the 1st place? well, 1st of all, you gotta realize how serious the political strife between the white and the left

in brazil has been in recent years with the impeachment of former left wing president dillman bruce f and then the rise of white wing. i can also narrow some observers are pointing out how even before that the far right in brazil used ukraine as a role model where 1st the nationalist movement toppled the government and then the new authorities went on to rid the country of pretty much everything communist. that's how the term you coronado using brazil was born as some groups of the right wing you that this expression in order to say that they would like to expect to expel from the political life, the lastest groups. this expression was very famous during the day that the 2014 who did that in new crane like in kiev,

you coordinating brazil hasn't ever led to government coups or civil wars being started. but the appearance of ukrainian nationalist symbols, some was an apparent nazi background. ad street demos has become a cause for concern and the south american nation set aside is demonstrate that that around 500 nads the group soon. bruce, you bringing together some think lie, 10000 people. there was an enormous growth during the both scenarios. goldman scenes 2019. some of these rooms come from south and brazil where there is an important ukrainian community. several of its members belong to malicious or security forces where fire, right? ideology is very strong. this is the environment in the week there scenarios there scenarios,

willing to fight alongside the key of goldman united states. and then they are re, cupid as if it were this. is it backhoe against communism? oh, whoa. this nasty group is the mo, at the advance rose and they have really a very important and mobilization capacity. me sarah winter, her see me. so to say includes being a member of the feminist group, fair men of ukrainian origin, which she's been thrown out of eventually. however, i also questioned the numerous magazines with the figure of hitler that she has at home. sarah said that she admires hitler as a person that he was a good husband, that he loved animals, but that she doesn't admire the public hitler. i found it a bit strange. also reportedly part of her experience leading porch wielding marches, like the ones led by neo nazis in new grain shooting fireworks at the brazilian

supreme court being arrested more than 20 times and traveling to ukraine to learn from the local old. right. a police probe found many more disturbing links between brazil's radicals and ukraine's extremists. the it's all had extremely inflammatory, makes to say the least and it's unclear if the shelling of the compound that i mentioned at the very beginning. we'll scare or re energize brazilian. want to be radicals. us hasn't just been supplying weapons to ukraine in recent years,

but has also been training troops. this is, according to an investigation by yahoo news, which alleges that the cia have been secretly preparing ukrainian military units to fight russia while the ca has yet to comment on the claims. the report says the troops were being thoroughly trained in modern warfare. ortiz kill him up and comments. ca, paramilitary forces have also been preparing them for special operations against quote, russia and its 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 ensured 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 not the very bloody conflict 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 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 fact themselves speak volumes. the united states has been planning to use ukraine as a bloody battle field against russia for years, despite any costs necessary. caleb marvin, r t new york. george sam, welly who he just heard from in caleb's report. there he is a research fellow at the global policy institute, who says us meddling in ukraine has been a major reason for russia to conduct its military campaign. suppose it was never been interested in bringing the credit. they engineers of the qu, in $24.00 team,

which is on probes of the roughly speaking of ukraine, the parts of the brain to the voted for the younger girl, which it provoke them to essentially opt out. is that the next step, this qu, leadership in here, and therefore, it helps explain the russian thinking as to why they chose now to military intervene in ukraine. the ganske of forces have taken control of practically the entire territory of the republic, which russia recently recognized as an independent country. now residents are starting to rebuild their lives after 8 years of attacked by ukrainian forces or cheese mary. if a notion, i took a train that is finally running again to the republics capital, where it's a railway station in the town of that bill in the logan's people's republic, where for the 1st time in 8 years, this suburban train is living today for the capital city also named lugens,

it was impossible before these journey because the key of force is in control here since 2014, so and still see lugens because occupied territory. there were not many connections with that part of the republic, but today it is possible define raise for one week before that big fell under the control of the republican forces. and now it's one territory. novato. ah, only days with a passport issued by the guns people's republic and clearance from local authorities are allowed on board for security reasons. of course that i missed has become a hub for civilians fleeing the front line areas. this train is a good option for them to go to look on the other passengers here to you. do them please. i am coming home now as visiting and the circumstances made me stay for longer and happy. of course that the train is now operational. but the train should

go further. the connection between the towns is a good thing. i'm heading to lew 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 login's, the people's republic, so frightening, it was indeed in store rebels. there once was a really intense shelley. we're going to buy took with $26.00 question roubles, which is around 20 us then. and yes, russian rebels are reception here, but i can also pay with your grades are still being used to all they're just 80 kilometers apartments that i bisk and logan's have been like 2 different countries with different time zones. currencies, flags, tv channels,

mobile services, but not any more. this train departed at 7 am moscow time, one hour ahead of key if it's the same time in logan's, this train makes 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 taken control of mo, towns, the trains, buses restored roads and bridges will reunite these long separated areas reef an ocean on our t from step is logan's train. about 30 minutes, that's when i will be back with another foreign fresh look your news. this is our to international. ah ah, last year in generic. remember with your grade and met your letter? good news lab work

with
