very difficult time to sit down and talk with ukraine refuses to accept russia's plan for evacuating civilians from mario pal, where an estimated 130000 people remain stuck. i'm it intense fighting. this is my address, my kevlar vests. i'm not going to be wearing it because it's hard to sleep. instead, i think it's gonna serve world war less suitable billable party reports from the outskirts of t of where russian and ukrainian forces are getting ready for a fight. with the german minister suggests, contributing to the ukranian war effort by not eating meat amid reports of food

supply shortages and among the foreign fighters. joining ukraine's fight against russia are right wing militants from brazil to idolized neo nazi sentiments widespread among ukrainian international. with broadcasting more direct from our studios in moscow. this is art international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to to have you with us. now russia alleges that ukrainian forces have brought about a humanitarian catastrophe. admirable as an estimated 130000 civilians remain trapped in the city amid intense fighting. in recent days. the numerous buildings have been destroyed as civilians hide and basements,

and struggle to obtain food and water due to disrupted supplies. despite daily attempts by the russian military to secure a safe zones for residents and 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. it follows when the troops were on the move, they started shooting through the fence. my grandmother and i was wounded. she was hitting the leg in me in the arm and we ran into the cellar. during the embodiment 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 him, battled city as the weekend rushes military says it is opening more humanitarian

court or on monday, both to russia and the ukrainian side, and even promised to spend the lives of ukrainian forces if they lay down their weapons and leave marble, but in response to moscow's initiative to provide safe routes for civilians. ukraine has emphasized it forces will continue to fight for the city. the russian and chinese journalists covering the battle for my you will have allegedly come under fire from ukrainian artillery with one chinese reporter wounded. the journalist saying they were walking on the street when they heard the sound of an explosion, a shell, and a just 50 meters from them, forcing them to hit the ground and then to seek shelter. meanwhile, he has been preparing for a seizure by russian forces with residents fleeing and math, and the government, mobilizing troops with mer vitaly, which go has surveyed the aftermath of a ledge strikes on the korean 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 incite more hate and a stronger desire to oppose the aggressor. russian forces have reportedly been gathering on the outskirts of t as in an apparent push to take the ukrainian capital r d correspondent. donna comments from a russian army incoming. their so was come right behind rushes. positions outside. key of we are literally behind the line of contact with come here to spend the night. so 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. and 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 gonna be wearing it because it's hard to sleep instead. i think it's going to serve as a well more or less suitable fellow a very heavy gun slate has broken out just at the perimeter of our can be a 100 meters away. so i guess was quite expect to leave the 1st i. we wake up

to hearing as the incoming shots from the ukranian sabotaged. 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 for kids 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, citing marshall 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. will you got the nice bully activated 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 counsel of ukraine has decided that given the large scale war unleashed by the russian federation and links between it and some political structures, the activities of a number of political party is suspended for the period of the martial law. major opposition, party for the for life platform, swiftly denounced the ban as unlawful. russian senior officials have also called it if elation, no 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, a manual toner of the french institute of jo politics, questions whether ukraine's leadership is respecting freedom of opinion in the country. she has regime under prison dis see of mister zelinski already in the past as shown. but so is the same state and we were a huge pressure on, on freed of opinion. there is no freedom opinion it or would it pass or the journalist we were eliminated in ukraine because i tentative 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 mr. zelinski in pandora papers. we've huge corruption cases and now it doesn't exist anymore. nobody speaks about that anymore. don't eat meat to beat russia. that's the message from germany's agricultural minister, who just so happens to be a vegetarian, as he suggests what his countrymen can do to oppose the conflict in ukraine. germans have been panic, buying groceries over fears of shorter, just caused by supply chain disruptions to the war. and 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 mister putin. the ear no longer considered as russia to be a favorable nation for food supply, putting the country on par with iran and north korea. but meanwhile, there have been protests against the surgeon cost 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 government positions on the conflict. it will be your opinion that imposed sanctions and what european union 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 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 russians. it's all right and fall. but the truth is everyone sees that it's germany and european politicians fall, calling this ridiculous and legal fashion. and people might even stop to death in relatively prosperous europe, but certainly ruled people. and for 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 that human needs like being warm and 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. memorial to soviet soldiers at the athens has been vandalized with graffiti depicting the logo of a reputed neo nazi group fighting for ukraine. the as of battalion logo, apparently based on the nazi wolf's angel symbol, was spray painted on the monument to soviets. 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. and the monument has been cleared of the graffiti, and dozens of greeks gathered with large banners to show their disgust and laid flowers at the site. the russian embassy and athens has described the incident of an unacceptable active vandalism, and called on the government to take action to punish those responsible a greek diplomat. and for the former ambassador told us that he's worried about support for ukrainian far right groups in his country. it said that that is highly

con devon, of all that should be on there by everybody. and it also shows us that the ukrainian specialist have put their feet into wish and this is something that you want. sure, all of us are very happy from what point of view that i see anti nazi. and that's the fastest demonstrations being prepared to, 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 i've been traded in from the, from the ukraine by the supporters of the as. busy of nazis, i also are like very much

their statement of the russian embassy. and i think that the greek over when should do everything possible to find the perpetrators of such a reputed ca, offshoot, the national endowment for democracy has allegedly been deleting records about financing. ukrainian military forces and archived webpage purports to show the organization has provided more than $22000000.00 to ukraine since 2014. that's mid claims that the u. s. trained members of ukraine's controversial 8. our battalion ortiz, my international, takes up the story. they say russia invaded ukraine, they say russia is the aggressor. but working here in the la guns republic for weeks, we found many things that tell a different story. one discovery was made at a former base of the notorious i'd. our battalion, it appeared in 2014 as an armed volunteer group that fought on cave side, but slowly fell out of its control. too many weapons money and impunity did their

job. now it's part of ukraine's ground forces. those roads have a sinister foreign influence. this is what was found among other things here at the ide. our battalion base a very interesting piece of literature titled, tutorial for participants of russian ukrainian war. he was published in 2021. ukraine's defense ministry is among publishers. but here we see something more interest in national endowment for democracy. america is non governmental organization, allegedly affiliated with cia, it actually says they was re published last year. so apparently there was previous version of this book. there are multiple chillin facts about they statement from last year. if the title russian ukrainian war refers to the 80 or bombing of don bos it chooses to ignore that the conflict was not russian ukrainian, but ukrainian ukrainian with the east of the country being shelled by its own

government in kiev. and if the title haines acknowledge of an upcoming war with russia, which would conventionally break out a year later, in february 2022. this raises even more disturbing questions about washington's role in for meant in the current conflict than there is the central role played in it by the infamous ca offshoot, the national endowment for democracy or n e d. instead of having to say, i am going around behind the scenes and trying to manipulate the process secretly by inserting money here and instructions and so forth. they have no a psychic, which is this national endowment for democracy. and loss of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the cia. we should not have to do this kind of work cover, lee. it would be terrible for democratic groups around the world to be seen as subsidized by the cia. we saw that in the sixty's, and that's why it has been discontinued. we have not had the capability of doing this, and that's why the endowment was created. it seems that whenever they see i couldn't,

but wanted to manipulate the process. the n e d has been there to help for the last 4 decades. what finally drew public attention to ned's meddling and foreign elections was an aborted attempt to provide opposition candidate violette, a chamorro with $3000000.00 in funding for her 1989 election campaign against nicaragua. president daniel ortega in 1988, for example. the endowment had given $600000.00 to organizations working to defeat chalet and leader a gusto penetrate. ned was involved in similar activities in 1990 in czechoslovakia, meaning interfering in elections worldwide, and nurturing uprisings globally. a number of the groups and individuals directly involved in the revolts and reform. sweeping the region received training and financing from groups like the international republican institute, the national democratic institute, and freedom house. they were created by congress and are financed through the

national endowment for democracy, training and financing, financing and training. yeah, news has made a series of reports. quoting former us intelligence officials revealing this yeas secret training initiative for you. quinn in special operations forces that began attention in 2015 as part of it ca paramilitaries, had even secretly traveled to east from ukraine to assist forces loyal to key. if in their fight against the don boss, the c i. a operatives taught the ukranian counterparts. the best skills for regular warfare. we tried to really focus on operational planning than really hard military skills like long range marksmanship, not just the capacity to do it, but to know how to do it on a battlefield. there are many videos that appeared to show i'd our members been trained by instructors from nature countries that ukraine can hardly afford without support. and here's 1st 10 testimony. from the instructors came from denmark,

canada, the u. k, and the u. s. they taught us infantry tactics from element, but 1st we met all the participants. you know, 10 on the 1st day we learned how to ambush and i spent a total of 2 years doing the training. i was for the, for years long before rushes operation in don't bus. and there is a part about the financing to this man says he was in the groups, lawyers cast, but his salary was far from low for the region. nicole, a position every month. i received a $1000.00 salary, and i also got a $6000.00 bonus, was meter 50. about that. let's go back to the book. there was a whole list of tasks that the ukrainian military would get paid extra for well paid, like $15000.00 us dollars per brigade for accomplishing a convert mission successfully. $5000.00 for destroying an airplane, or $3000.00 doors for destroyed armored vehicle. the question is paid by who?

most who says it has proved ukraine was planning a mass mil to a tech on the don bus. in february, march, this year, he's ukraine's former premier fateful decisions were made the day before the start of the war to exterminate the russian speaking population. and on the korean army, under the leadership of the nationalists battalions was appearing to start the military operation in the dumbass of february 25th. evidence upon evidence that moscow's operation was to prevent cubes. imminent vast strikes on russian speakers in ukraine, leading to dramatically more civilian casualties. murray, phenomena r t from the guns people's republic. 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 . now, the unit is reportedly to focus on shaping opinions about of the ukraine conflict.

it is to present the british government official stances and materials including statements by prime minister board johnson, to viewers on laptops, tablets, and smartphones for contact. it has said that ads on its platform are thoroughly screen we heard from geopolitical analyst, patrick hennington, who says, western countries have been seeking to blocked 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 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 strong affiliations are there what their world view is? 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. no offense from a broad who share the neo, not the sentiments of the ukrainian far right have been rushing to join ukraine's

foreign legion, including fighters from brazil, raising concerns about extremist views in their homeland. not he's a chunk of 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 depress is presenting ukrainian

in the western world. i mean i, there is a kind of a to tin as a lance, he and his follower around, as heroes, often novo calls. so it's, it's kind of environment, it is very strong. and to put many people shown themselves to fighting is traveling alongside with if that's, that's what's happening. their impulse to save ukraine from potent seemed to diminish after a calm, bowed housing. foreign armed pro key of volunteers was destroyed by a russian air strike. lads, him, he's got his 1st decisive dinner. there were special forces from all over the world, though, 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. oh, thank god i got out beforehand. perhaps real war turned out to be quite different from the 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 at how even before that the far right in brazil used ukraine as a role model where 1st nationalist movement topple 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, some groups of the right wing use it this expression in order to say that they would like to. but 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. i like in key f. you coordinating brazil hasn't ever led to government coups or civil wars being started. but the appearance of ukrainian national assembles some with an apparent nazi background ad 3 demos has become a cause for concern in the south american nation. set. a 3rd is demonstrate that around $590.00 groups in brazil, bringing together something like $10000.00 people. there was an enormous growth

during the both natural goldman scenes, 2019. some of these rooms come from south and brazil was the reason important. crenan community, several of its members belonged to me. the or security forces were far 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 back against communism. oh, whoa. this nasa group is the mo that they had banjos 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, what 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 ports wielding march is like the ones led by neo nazis, a new grain shooting fireworks at the brazilian supreme court being arrested more than 20 times ads traveling to ukraine to learn from the local. all right, a police prob found many more disturbing links between brazil's radicals and ukraine's extremis. ah,

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 will scare or we energize brazilian. want to be radicals, and that is a for me, i will be back and let's say 30 minutes with another phone 1st lecture news. this is our t international has become the war in ukraine. ah, ah, a

. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic, a development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with me.
