ah, ah nato publicly, in misled rush or into believing the block was prepared to accept you crane as a member to fight privately telling here, but it cannot join the us lion. according to the latest revelation from president the landscape, take it from russia. this is a log marine ship co game obligated by know who it is, all these large caliber also kind of resolve both, but the point of the shippers for transport and the heavy equipment. we report from ukraine. he poured hob dance recently captured by the russian military and now being used for humanitarian relief methods to help civilians in the embattled city of mario pope and almost truckers on the trade unions take to the

streets of europe to protest against storing crisis. as a result of sanctions imposed on russia by the e. u. a warm welcome. this is on the international thanks for tuning and let's go straight to the latest developments around ukraine. presidents lensky says. nato had previously refused to accept ukraine into the alliance, but still kept telling russia that the doors into the u. s. lead block remained open for kids. i mean, while the lensky has been slammed by some israeli officials off the, he can pads the ongoing conflict in ukraine to the holocaust and called on television to help key f. a plus the e. u is reportedly disgusting. an embargo on russian oil imports as part of a 5th package of sanctions against moscow of its military operation and ukraine. nato's refusal to rule as ukraine's membership in the block is to blame for the

conflict with russia, which could have been avoided if only the u. s letter lines had made its will position on ukraine, clear mosca. that's the take away from president landscape latest interview to western media. i requested them personally to say directly, we're going to accept the nail or nato in a year or 2 or 5. and the response was very clear. we're not going to be an h e, a member, but publicly the doors will remain open. well corresponded don course joins in the studio. thanks for coming in dawn. i'm so what i'm, what seems to appeared to be is that basically there was a chance of avoiding this will. while the lensky saying that nato was essentially bluffing this whole time about potentially allowing ukraine into its military alliance comes as a real shock. because basically, like you said, this could of the west may have been able to stop this outbreak of hostilities

between russia and ukraine. from the get go, if it just told moscow the truth. let's not forget that back when joe biden was a senator, he warned against the, the further eastward expansion of the nato military alliance. he said that it could potentially lead to an outbreak of direct war with russia back in 1990 the nato military alliance. also promised b, u. s. a saw that it would not expand any farther eastward of the odor river in central europe. and since this basically western media campaign of hysteria began late last year, russia's main negotiating point has been that it would not that it would hold the nato military alliance to its promise. there brazil, new conflict, regional ones on conflict. so bloodshed, we want to resolve the situation by political and diplomatic means we should at least have some clear and understandable legal guarantees. this is the purpose of a proposal which has been written and sent to brussels and washington for wood, cham some time and time again. moscow has said that,

including ukraine in the nato military alliance would violate treaties, connected to the council for cooperation and security in or for security and cooperation in europe. and that these agreements specifically state that nations should not be able to enter into a military alliance if that takes place at the expense of the national security of another nation. in response, all this, the west to specifically washington called this negotiating point a non starter. and of course moscow wasn't very happy about that. we would love, they literally put the principle of freedom of choice, of alliances at the forefront. completely ignoring the conditions that were agreed at the highest level on the in admissibility of infringing on the security of the states to shoot with has been a negative response to our security proposals about the non expansion of nato eastwood. this cannot satisfy us. they maintain the rights of any country to choose, joined and change alliances. it's non negotiable. after zalinski is recent

statement, we of course now know that ukraine never really had a real chance of becoming a member state of nato. and if russia knew that it's very possible that diplomacy could have diffused what has become a huge escalation in the don boss conflict. instead, the went, the west just continued to basically tease every one telling everyone that ukraine might become a part of the nato military lines. it will store a remains open o the enlargement of nato as being a great success if that helps to spread democracy freedom, we will not compromise on our core principles. now one more thing that's quite embarrassing actually for zelinski is that he just basically laid down and accepted the west rejection of what was one of his government's major desires to become a part of the military alliance. and when hostile with these broke out with russia, washington said no to sending troops establishing a no fly zone, basically,

taking very direct steps and helping ukraine in this conflict. so goes to show how look good. those allies ended up being for ukraine. ok, don't many things coming in with those details as long as you don't quarter. meanwhile, ukrainian 4th is in the embattled southern city of mario paul have refused to surrender after the russian military off them to lay down owns moscow. say the local key of back to thirties have created a humanitarian disaster. as an estimated 130000 civilians remain traps in the city amid intense shelling and gunfire. the numerous buildings have been destroyed with civilians for shelter in basements, both struggling to obtain food and water due to a disruption of supply chains, his by daily attempts by the russian military to secure a safe zone for residents to evacuate. moscow stays,

kids. forces have been effectively holding local hostage, preventing many of them from leaving mario pole. some of those who have managed to escape shad that harrowing experience it polish. when the troops were on the move, they started shooting through the fence. my grandmother and i was wounded. she was taking the leg 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 from 60000 people reportedly managed to evacuate from the embattled city over the weekend, rushes, military safety. it's opening more humanitarian car doors leading both deeper into ukraine and across the border into russia. in spite of most of those initiatives to

provide stay for the civilians, ukraine has emphasized this forces will continue to fight for the city, which is a strategic port hub in the disputed donya region of the country. some of the relief efforts to help civilians in mario paul are now coming out of the port hub of the answer. the site was recently taken by the russian military, off the local ukrainian forces fled without a fight. he's more garcia goes to an exclusive look at the operations that by land air, and now sea russian troops continued to advance and reinforce into ukraine. this is a unique sight, a russian naval armada at a port which ukrainian troops had abandoned without a fight, leaving its facilities entirely intact. the as of sea with its ports and towns is now honda, russian control, all save several districts and the coastal city of mary jo pal,

which has allowed russia's black sea fleet and the ost landing ship to stage this operation translated from russian. this is a large marine ship co named alligator by nato. it is armed, the sludge caliber, odo cannon, for example. but the point of this ship is to transport troops and heavy equipment . it can fit as many as 20 tanks or 40 armored personnel carriers along with hundreds upon hundreds of troops. these conflict knees, one of the most intense in recent decades, both sides of leverage, sophisticated and highly destructive weapons, for russia's operation to succeed. it is paramount. the troops are supplied and reinforced non stop, but in which a, which are liable here is a milestone mantle. it opens up completely new opportunities for the black safely to use existing ukrainian infrastructure for our logistics operations. this

logistics operation is not only geared for fighting. it is also humanitarian. millions of ukrainians and liberated territories must be fed and supplied with essentials. just kilometers away. thousands of scared and battered refugees pack the roots leading from mario bowl. the russian military has set up camps for those who want to stay and supplies fuel for those who wish to drive to crimea all elsewhere off of what they had been through after what ukrainian nationalists had put them through. they need the help says the property was, there is no fuel in mary you, paul, and all the fuel was stolen by looters of water. the route was difficult. there are no roads. the bridges have been blown up. the city itself no longer exists. this is a chance for people to go somewhere wrong. we're really thankful there's a little in the root was difficult if there was no green zone and we drove at our

own risk. so there were a lot of dead bodies and blown up cars along the way. the petrol is now more expensive than going with you can't go anywhere without health. i'm thankful for russia's help. i'm very thankful you hiding among the refugees. i'll ukrainian military desert, as they will say that once they caught, but it is feared that some may be lying and may have other goals such as the stage terror attack. so acts of sabotage in liberated areas. the unit commander told us in a message to change into civilian clothes, joined the civilians, get into the vehicles, taking them out or simply joined the civilians in the green zone and leave mary all with that is gone. we joined the civilians who were being released from the city and left with athens. many have been identified, not all wish to appeal camera. whether not that telling the truth will be up to russian law enforcement to judge. there here enforce center

d not supply ukraine. that and to bring those nationalists and neo nazis responsible for killings and atrocities, to account for a gas the of o t for the dusk. ah, my troops have criticized. thank you. ethel increasing supplies to saudi arabia patriot anti missile interceptors, which have been used set by ria and the devastating war in yemen. pentagon supply the saudi led coalition since it began in military intervention in yemen. again the rebels in 2015, quoting the latest numbers between 2017 and last year alone, washington the delivery of major weapons to the saudi shot up by 106 percent. while another key western supply of b u. k. is said to have license more than 20000000000 pounds in weaponry sales to react. since the start of war in yemen is, will contribute things. what the united nations calls the world was human,

a terry and cry, and says in yemen that the us has raised value 3rd of the, from required for humanitarian crisis management in the country this year, with saudi arabia and the united arab emirates among the top 3 don't as last year, not giving any money at all. this time. the conflict in ukraine is further disrupted food supplies to yemen with both kiev and moscow major traditional export as to the country around 20000000. the yemenis already require humanitarian aid and food insecure. well, let's discuss this further and cross live to buy shit. omar red cross, spokes person on yemen. thank you for joining us on the program is really nice to see you. so the un fell far short of is fundraising target for yemen. they see. and how will that affect the country 1st of all, thank you so much for having me in this interview. yes. so that the, the, the, the,

the lack of fund or the 3rd, the shortage you'll find out for yemen would like, will affect the activities and d and d, work all day international organization. in yemen, we see several international organization and local are going to zation in yemen, have shut down some projects, you know, in different parts of the country. the situation will lead to agree, ating the situation. the humanitarian situation of, of, of 1000000, of the many people across the country. and millions of families in yemen are relying on international organization to provide them with food and then food items . i mean a few, a few see the whole picture of the humanitarian situation in yemen. we see like at 20000000 avia, many people are in need for humanitarian assistant. we have more than 60000000 avia, many people who are food insecure and we have like 4000000 women and

children are malnourished. we have also 70000000 yamini. they don't have access to a. c health and the water and sanitation across the can to the country is functioning with 50 percent of its health facilities and capacity. so therefore, any shortage in defined would, would, would really, would greatly deviate the, the humanitarian situation in the country. and of course, later donors, saudi arabia and the united arab emirates did not pledge anything to the you and yemen sons this year. how in perth, how important were that donations and why in your opinion might they have made such a decision? i really do, i really don't understand, you know, the, the, the motivation behind it, are you saying get the funder for for yemen. ah, yes. sooty arabian united arab emirates are one of the most

a can treaties who denoted a fun before the humanitarian operations in the country. but we believe in the i, c r c and in the all, in the all international materials factoring them. and that the flish in conference should be, than should be not the last opportunity for such countries to support eman. yemen needs their support and they need more, a support also from the international community and from rich countries from across the world. where some my claim that the well to sanction has now been shifted to the conflict in ukraine. i do think that will have negative consequences. vienna we still like the world is shifting attention to words or other conflicts in like the conflict in the queue. we are like more a simply the conflicting in no crane and they are, and we call the international community at the did the powerful countries to

not to abandon the crisis in yemen. e, you know, in shift in attention from the comforting him and that would lead to get to strategic results. and the, the civilians across the country will fill it in the near future. if the world doesn't pay more attention to the light of your many people, could you just explain to his aunt how the humanitarian situation has gone so bad in yemen? you know, following 7 years of all the vicious conflict, you know, clearing out in different parts of the country at the did this conflict has, you know, hindered people. ability to access a serve, possess the, the, the bite at the bite and infrastructure in the country be at the health infrastructure, the water infrastructure, the food supply, their supply chain at have been disrupted. these have, you know,

a kind of accumulative effect on the, on, on the live of, of civilians across the country. the, the, the absence of a state in the country of are responsible for providing worth and services to the civilians. and also, and being, you know, able to pay the salaries of the people that has led to aggravating to him when it's your, in situation. we believe in the i see that the many people need a unified, a strong estate that is able to enforce it. slow able to provide services to you, all the civilians across the country without exceptions. but what we see now in the country is more the vision more before a t more conflict mortar ashes across the country. you see, like we have more than 4000000 people are, displays an acrostic into more than 11 percent of the many people. they like the

basic services. there is no government in yemen. you have like different multiplicity of authorities across the country, which really, you know, affected affect the general situation and the humanitarian situation in the country . we have been calling in the icy since the onset of the conflict in the country. yemen needs a politic a political solution, a settlement. so yeah, many people can restart their own life again. and what are your thoughts on that powers like the u. s. and the u. k who will send humanitarian aid, but at the same time, us applying our weapons to the saudis, look, we, we haul from all the countries from those people from those powerful countries from those countries. oh, have like, you know, in full ones on parties to the conflict inside or out outside the country to exert their efforts to become bends to parties, to the comfort, to the conflict,

to make them accept, to negotiate, to talk about a peaceful solution for the crisis in yemen, we don't believe that that did the military solution or auction will be able to, to end the crisis in the country. yemen needs a politic escalation that yemen need all about. is that the conflict to sit around the same table and to find a solution, a settlement that would end the conflict in the country are more weapons g, m, and that, that, that is not the answer for, for the conflict. may thanks for joining us on the park on nasa bashing. i'm our red cross spokesperson onion and thank you. thank you so much. ah, and don't. he eats meat if he wants to beat russia. that's the message from germany's agriculture minister, who just so happens to be a vegetarian, as he suggests what his countryman can do to oppose the conflict. and ukraine. germans have been panic buying groceries ever fairs of shortages caused by supply

chain disruptions due to the war in ukraine. the panic is being stoked by rumors and reports of eminence. food deficits will, despite the sanctions being opposed on russia by the e. u. germany's agriculture minister has put the blame squarely on moscow. we have to wear responsibly only what we need. no one should hold anything at home. no toilet paper knows sunflower oil, otherwise prices will skyrocket. pollutants, insidious strategies that there is a shortage of products and he needs photos of empty shelves. i advise you not to on necessarily 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. putin. are you no longer considered russia to be a favorable nation for food supplies, putting the country on par with iran and north korea? we heard from a research fellow at the university of hamburg, he says, ordinary people are paying a high price for their governments positions on the conflict. it was the european

union that imposed sanctions and was the european union that revoked 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 mistakes. many countries in germany already have closed due to the rising prices. and if we see mass unemployment, they want to put the blame on russians is all russians fall. but the truth is, and everyone sees that it's germans and europeans. politicians fought for imposing this ridiculous and legal sanctions. and people might even stop today in relatively prosperous europe. but certainly we'll see people in poor across the world like in africa who are 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. gras human needs like being warm at home for, you know, helping to teach. 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, soaring prices for food and feel due to the harsh sanctions against russia, have spunk protests around europe, with thousands taken to this race, to vent their anger about the spiraling burden, i think, correspond in charlotte. gibbon ski reports and more in ukraine is already pushing up the energy costs across europe. whether that's impacting the price of fuel fuel costs for gas in interesting homes and businesses. and there are also shortages of agricultural basics such as fertilizer. all of this is driving up the cost of pretty much across the board. now in protests over the last few days, people taking the streets to demand action phone they government same in the great

thousands of individuals on the streets that were growing social discontentment. over the spiraling cost of living in germany and italy, truckers were out on the roads. they with the rear. so the price of petrol saying it's pretty much putting them out of business and increase farmers who stay consumers over the anger of high production costs, which are a result of the sanctions. 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 for the 1st year. we feel interested you. cathy for going on, this isn't justified or i'm speaking about a war is something different. the fuel price hawks are unfair and unrelated to all . this is something else about with all away about it all it takes on that's what

gets outrageous for politicians to destroy our transport business with pointless taxes. if you take into account a fuel price of more than $2.00 euros, with a euro, 60 or euro, 70 intax massively contracted, they destroy our entire existence. they destroy us. that's it lies and deceit law to hold it management. now they said 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 been bail sanction of the sanction against russia because of that invasion of ukraine. but the cracks are 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 e. u. countries such as germany, italy and hungry seem to be pretty wary about this. and for those countries that want this pro with punishing faith rounded sanctions,

they say that all of trade with russia must end. 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 russia's 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 or 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. it would also bring poverty too, said she, 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 there signed a new deal for a gas with cattle, but duck kind of and you won't take of the dependency on russia immediately,

so that's not gonna happen overnight. then elsewhere in 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 to countries at these plans and previously been put on, i see as being unprofitable to thinking raised again as a result of her rule. but as that views change, spain, the ease, husing, francis dragging its heels when it comes to the investment, the cd. like 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 is needed to connect that pipeline of gas to the trunk system. and he is 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 u. n. listed oligarchy, or leg digit, passcode on it lists. but the use decided not to follow c to why you may be asking whether it's been suggested that the founder of the major metal produce e and plus group has got huge assets in countries like austria and also in psych breasts. and there are concerns freezing his assets and could actually have repercussions that so 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 endure as a result of the war in ukraine. my thanks for joining us. aeronautics international

for the latest update. she can of course, check our website r t dot com, but we'll be back again in 30 minutes with well say them a started brushes, military operation in ukraine. the west is talked about russia and russians. russia side of the story is essentially absent and intentionally. so on this edition of the program, we talk with 2 pre eminent russian scholars about their own country and ukraine. ah ah.

letter f d b dot r f for those in our audience who aren't familiar with it. could you please explain to us in layman's terms of what the surgeon is ation is and what does it do? and we neuro isn't sheba, we're not a retail bank, but everything we do greatly impacts people's lives because all our projects can be categorized as supporting an oven agenda. this includes new housing, new medical facilities in new schools. it's an indispensable pause of a modern urban environments. we have an urban electric vehicle project spearheaded by the chair of our supervisory council group. it'll kick off in at least 12 cities, even in the current circumstances. it was have a housing and utilities project to modernize the processes in that sector. washer organization, like the whole country has taken a hit. you personally have been affected. but let's talk about v b dot r f where.
