[000:00:00;00] ah, [000:00:00;00] with ukraine refuses to accept the russians planned for evacuating civilians from mario pal where an estimated 130000 people remain stuck amid intense fighting. this is my vest, my kevlar vest, and i'm not gonna be wearing it because it's hard to sleep instead. i think it's going to say, well, more or less suitable philip or to report from the outskirts of kids where russian and ukrainian forces are getting ready for a fight. farmers truckers and trade unions take to the streets of europe to protest

against storing prices due to sanctions imposed on russia over the ukraine conflict . marquee obtains evidence that the u. s. was pushing ukraine to attack. don bass, as washington is alleged to have spent millions of dollars on preparing ukrainian military forces. ah, broadcasting live direct from us studios and moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. but have you with us as we covered the war in ukraine? now russia ledgers that ukrainian forces have brought about a humanitarian catastrophe. invaluable as an estimated 130000 civilians remain trapped in the city 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. despite daily attempts by the russian military to secure safe zones 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 us harrowing stories polish when the troops were on the move, they started shooting through the my grandmother and i wound it. she was like 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. but 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. rochester military says it's opening

more humanitarian court on monday, both to russia and 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 russian and chinese journalists covering the battles from our you will have allegedly come under fire from cranium artillery with one chinese reporter wounded. the 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 seek shelter. meanwhile, g of has been preparing for a siege by russian forces with the residents fleeing and mass and the government, mobilizing troops on mayor tele, crisco, has surveyed the aftermath of alleged strikes on the korean capital. but in 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 t, as in an apparent push to take the ukrainian capital or t correspondent egotist done of comments 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. it's not 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. i was just at the perimeter of our counter will be

100 meters away. so i guess was quite expect to leave the 1st time we wake up to hearing is 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 just hear 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. don't eat meat to beat russia. that is the message from germany's agriculture minister, who just so happens to be vegetarian, as he suggests what his countrymen can do to oppose conflict in the ukraine. a

germans have been panic, buying groceries over fears of shortages caused by supply chain disruptions due to the war in ukraine. now there have been rumors about the deficits of major food items, including meat, sugar, cooking oil, and flour. the country's agriculture minister puts the blame squarely on russia. we have to buy responsibly 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 that ordinary people are paying a high price for their government positions on the conflict. the european union that imposed sanctions and what the 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, their responsibility for their mistake. many tactics in germany already have close due to the rising prices. and if we see mass vitamin, they want to put the blame on rushes in, all right and fall. but the truth is an antique, that in germany and european politician for calling the legal fashion and people my in stock today in relatively improper of europe. but

certainly rules. the people in part of 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 that people will at the coming elections, soaring prices for food and fuel due to the harsh sanctions against russia over the ukraine. war have provoked protests around europe with thousands taking to the streets to vent their anger about the burden. some costs from this weekend cross live, to archie correspondent, charlie davinsky, who is in paris. charlotte, what's been going on with these price hikes across europe. tell us about the reactions and what have you been seeing? what's why the war in ukraine is already pushing up the energy costs across europe, whether that's impacting the price of fuel for cost, the gas and electricity, homes and businesses. and they're also shortages of agricultural basics such as

fertilizer, and all of this is driving up the cost of food pretty much across the board. now in the e u, there have been protests over the last few days. people taking to the streets to demand action from they governments we saw in spain, imagery, thousands of individuals on the streets that were growing social discontentment. over the spiraling cost of living in germany and italy soon truckers were out on the road. they were furious. so for the price of petrol, st, pretty much putting them out of business and increase farmers voice. thank concerns, over the anger of high production costs, which are a result of the sanctions. ah, we demand that farmers don't pay for the war in ukraine. most fertilizers are imported from russia and bella rues, and we don't want farmers to bear the increased costs. we want the production cost

to be cheap, so we can cultivate our fields and feed our animals. he still interested you, cathy, from them. this isn't justified, i'm speaking about a war is something different. the few cross hawks are unfair and unrelated tool in this is something else about with all away about wholly take on that on what it's outrageous for politicians to destroy our transport business with pointless taxes if you take into account of fuel price of more than $2.00 euros v, with a euro, 60 or euro, 70 in taxes, and we contacted, they destroy our entire existence. they destroy us. that's it lies and deceit, lawyers to hold of miniature. this of course is likely to heat quite low pressure on politicians. and from the you have, at least until the last few days shown, this pretty solid wall of strength as they've unveiled sanction of the sanction against russia because of that invasion over ukraine. but the cracks on that

beginning to show we peered from poland and the baltic states were really keen for what they describe is the maximum pain against russia, against the kremlin, than other you countries such as germany, italy, and hungry. i seem to be pretty wary about this and for those countries that one is pro punishing 5th round of sanctions. they say that all trade with russia must, and poland is proposing to add a trade blockade to this package of sanctions as soon as possible, including both of its seaports, but also a ban on land trade. fully cutting off rushes trade would further force russia to consider whether it would be better to stop this cruel war. well, that might not work for countries such as germany has a big issue because of its heavy reliance on russian energy imports. and even the country's economic and energy minister has recently won the cutting energy supplies

just immediately overnight would bring mass unemployment. and it would also bring poverty to essentially, what is the use economic engine at with the suggestion as a result, that people would just simply be unable to heat their homes. and that's something that they don't want to see. we have heard that germany has now signed a new deal for a gas with cattle, but that kind of am you won't take over the dependency on russia immediately, so that's not going to happen overnight. then elsewhere in the we've been seeing specifics, wobbles between countries take france and spain. for example. the 2 are apparently locked horns over this ideal plans for new gas pipeline at that would link the 2 countries at these plans have previously been put on. i seen as being unprofitable, but they've been raised again as a result of the current war. but as that views change,

spain is accusing france of dragging its heels when it comes to the investment that's needed. stoplight in the same way that we have been struggling to accelerate electrical interconnections. what cannot be is that the pressure to accelerate this infrastructure stays from the pyrenees down. because on the other side of the pyrenees, a fairly large investment as needed to connect that pipeline of gas to the trunk system. and the ease also having a bit of trouble when it comes to seeing eye, to eye over who should be on the sanctions list. now we know that the u. k, which is not in the you are listed oligarchy, am or leg derek pasco, on it's lists are, but the eas decided not to follow see to why you may be asking whether it's been suggested that the found of them major metal produce e and plus group has got huge assets in countries like austria and also in psych bryce and there are concerns freezing his assets and could actually have repercussions that are not so keen to do that. sanctions have to be approved by all

members of the block. if one says no, the sanctions don't go ahead. what we're really seeing now is off to that a ritual strength. there is no limit to how much pain individual countries want to do as a result of the war in ukraine. right? it certainly is going to be interesting to see how as this war drags on different sides are going to start to be. dig again for the long haul charlotte davinsky in paris for us. thanks for that. are now a reputed the cia offshoot, the national endowment for democracy has allegedly been deleting records about financing, ukrainian military forces and archived web page reports to show the organization has provided more than 22000000 dollars to ukraine since 2014 that's made the claims that the u. s. trained members of ukraine's controversial 8, our battalion parties more if a notion that takes up to store force. they say russia invaded ukraine, they say russia is their 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 caves 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 roots have a sinister foreign influence. this is what was found among other things here at the i'd 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 vas, 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 maintain the current conflict than there is the central role played in it by the infamous ca offshoot, the national endowment for democracy or an 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 a d has been there to help for the last 4 decades. what finally drew public attention to ned's meddling in foreign elections was an aborted attempt to provide opposition candidate violette, a chamorro with $3000000.00 in funding for her 1989 election campaign against nicaraguan president, daniel ortega in 1988. for example, the endowment had given $600000.00 to organizations working to defeat chalet and leader a gusto. pena shay. 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 is secret training initiative for you quentin 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 p as in their fight against the don bus. 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 either 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 us, the, they taught us infantry tactics, most element. but 1st we met all the participants, you know, 10 on the 1st day we learned how to ambush. i spent a total of 2 years doing the training. i was on the job for years long before rushes operation in don't back and there is a part about the financing to this man says he wasn't the groups lawyers cast, but his salary was far from low for the region. nicole precision. every month i received a $1000.00 salary and 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 credit military would get paid extra for wellpaid, like $15000.00 us dollars per brigade for accomplishing a convert mission successfully. $5000.00 for destroy an airplane or $3000.00 doors for destroyed armored vehicle. the question is paid by who moscow says it has proved ukraine was planning a mass military 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 in dumbass. the cranial army, under the leadership of the nationalists battalions, appearing to start the military operation in the dumbass of february 25th. evidence upon evidence that most goes operation was to prevent caves. imminent vast strikes on russian speakers in ukraine, leading to dramatically more civilian casualties. murray for notional r, t, from the guns people's republic immemorial to soviet soldiers,

and athens has been vandalized with graffiti depicting the logo of a reputed neo nazi group fighting for ukraine. the battalion logo, apparently based on the not few 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, 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 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 is worried about support for ukrainian far right groups in his country. it's a lack that is highly con devon, of all that should be on there by everybody. and it also shows us that

you, thing and fascist, have 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 super dust against this atrocious act, which i actually find horrible. and i did not expect that this would be done by the greeks. so perhaps some of the few geez, that have been traded into greece from the, from the ukraine by the supporters of the, as. busy of nazis, i also are like pretty much their statement, those, the russian embassy. and i think that the greek government should do everything

possible to find the perpetrators and such nonsense from abroad. who share the neo nazis. 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. particularly trego reports. the distance between ki, of, and rio de janeiro 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 scenario from brazil obviously joined the ranks of militias, a new crane to defend the key of an motherland. brazilian missionaries in this 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, just south ideology hallmark of our 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, that putin as a lens. he and his follower around the world as heroes, often novo calls. so it's is kind of environment 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 bruton seemed to diminish after a compound housing. foreign armed pro, key of volunteers was destroyed by a russian air strike. the lads him, he's got his 1st besides louis dionte,

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, you don't understand what it's like to have a fighter jet fire, a missile. 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 and brazil has been in recent years with the impeachment of former left wing president dome a roof 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 a nationalist movement toppled a government and then the new authorities went on to wit the country of pretty much everything communist that's how the term you coordinate 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 expect to expel from the political life the lastest groups. this expression was very famous during dick who did that to that 2014, who did that in ukraine alike in kiev. you quoted isaac, brazil, hasn't ever led to government coups or civil wars being started. but the appearance of ukrainian nationalist symbols, some with an apparent nazi background at st demos has become a cause for concern and the south american nation set aside is demonstrate that

that around $500.00 nancy groups in brazil bringing together some think like $10000.00 people there was an enormous growth during the both scenarios. goldman scenes 2019. some of these groups come from south and brazil where there is an important ukranian community. several of its members belong to malicious or security forces. where for right, a dollar g is very strong. this is the environment in the week their scenarios, their scenarios, willing to fight alongside the key of goldman united states. and then they are re, cupid as if it were, this is if battle against communism. oh ho, this nasty group is mo, at dan jones. 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 questions the numerous magazines with the figure of hitler that she has at home, sarah, sad 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 in ukraine, shooting fireworks at the brazilian supreme court being arrested more than 20 times and traveling to ukraine to learn from the local, all to a write, a police prob,

found many more disturbing links between brazil's radicals and ukraine's extremists . 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. we'll scare or we energize brazilian, want to be radicals and that is for me this hour in about 30 minutes, i will be back with another full and fresh looks renews. this is our t and art international. ah
