wars, he's absolutely appalled by russia's actions in ukraine. why is that? ah ah, fighting intensify for the key ukrainian city of mario pole as the russian military press is on with his drive to clear out the nationalists forces who are using civilian buildings. the cover being told that every day move such true a few weapons fall in the hands of the russian troops. one of our correspondents in ukraine get hands on with some of the feast. western weapons which are pouring into the country despite us lead poles apiece. i made accusation, but washington is waiting appropriately will against russian class as west and politicians on the media continue to criticize russia. it's operation in ukraine.

we look at how they covered the us led invasion of iraq all to differently. ah a warm welcome to you. you're watching artie international, that's good to have you with us this hour. now his bottle continues for control of ukraine's key port. city of mario po, we've received some exclusive pictures of the combat. so this drone footage shows the aftermath of fighting between russian and ukrainian forces, which include nationalist battalions, andre fillets, all of a local journalists down stringer for t says these 9 story buildings have been cleared. if nationally spices they continue to open fire from another building which has not yet been targeted by russian forces. i made the con h local residents who haven't managed to escape via humanitarian car goes off still hiding in basement. his part of andrew feeling, 12 report from the embattled city,

looks resilient, you know, the least with the, the next meliss unit by entered one of the 9 story building. this is the apartments of a local resident as of militants hit, the advancing forces from this balcony, and therefore whether the next militia fighters like it or not, how to destroy the homes of civilians. thus the humanitarian situation is deteriorating due to the action of miller. but 1st, let's wrap up the latest from the conflicts of ukraine. canada says it will use private sector resources to provide more weaponry to kids. now some discussion of further use sanctions on russian gas and me will serve as president task hold on bulgaria, to continue transiting russian gas to his country and hungary, pharmacist, essays. budapest will veto you sanctions on russian das imposed while the you itself has approved a new strategic doctrine, which it says will strengthen the block security with the war in ukraine. while

nato countries have refused to enforce the no fly zone in ukraine, the us lead block is stepping up its arm shipments. the key of washington is reportedly due to send soviet made air defense systems in secret to ukraine. fueling the fire of the fighting, that despite only cooling for pace. so the imported weapons is now being seized and examined by the russian military with white house officials continuing to defend their policy. if escalation, the united states delivered $650000000.00 in military equipment to ukraine, it is more than we've ever provided to ukraine in the past. it is a significant amount of assistance that we have expedited the delivery on and we will continue to do exactly that. and we're not doing this along are ours and partners have stepped up to revise significant shipments of security assistance. and we'll continue to help facilitate these deliveries as well. russian armor versus american missiles, ukraine, once

a country. now the world's largest test site, where the u. s. and allies are duking it out with russia who's weapons and more lethal. it's a weapons buffet for the ukranian military from small arms to advanced anti tank and anti aircraft, missiles. american go seem eager to make caves, every request come true. western made weapons are in such abundance. the ukrainian forces have no 2nd thoughts leaving them behind on the retreat. like a trail of breadcrumbs pollen hair, you have the infamous american made javelin an anti tank single use miss, i'll here it's will. little brother, the german made panza faust, the same panza vows just there. a better, a more modern version of the same unit of the same miss al, used by the nazi germany against soviet troops. back during the 2nd world war. arguably, these world complex as these missiles,

they cause the most problems for the russian army. but i'm being told that every day, more and more of such trophy weapons fall in the hands of the russian troops. the factory packaging even contains this pansy faust, anti tanks, weapons, passport. and that's when the unpleasant truth about its foreign origin comes out. apparently, this particular b g was decommissioned by germany all the way back in 2013. now americans stinger missiles are a common threat for russia's helicopter pilots. oil put as we flew over enemy territory in a car 50 to helicopter, the enemy fired from the ground. the aircraft was hit when stinger missiles are detected. the aircrafts on board defense system in gauges in fires decoy flares. it's a reliable technique and let you get out of the situation. in fact, some pundits are concerned of a looming security catastrophe. potentially caused by such

a flood of indiscriminate weapons in ukraine. you have all the markings of what the cia did in afghanistan, arming and training the militia dean with billions of dollars against russia. you have the same markings with what the see i did with timber sycamore and syria, which is much the same arming and training these extremist factions. i in order to serve as proxy forces to take out an opposing state though the real question as is whether russia will be able to move fast enough to cut off the supply lines with some us politicians don't hesitate to happening say that the white house is using he has to wage a proxy war against russia, as caleb maupin explains. it appears that us officials have been mulling over the idea of setting up a proxy war with russia and ukraine since 2014. and now with joe biden,

one year in the office, it looks like the plan is being put into action. and so there are a number of things that we would expect to have seen it that we just haven't seen. and the russians really have hatch. and as present notes from problem, so many other assumptions have not, not proven to be true as a, as they enter this right. it looks like the plan moves ahead with $13000000000.00 being sent to ukraine along with a new cache of weapons. the idea for a proxy war having been in the works for a long time, is now confirmed by a former us secretary of defense. we are engaged in a conflict. here is a proxy war with russia, whether we say so or not, that effectively is what's going on. and the way you get leverage is by frankly going in and killing russians. congressmen adam shift has further expounded upon the idea most critically. the military aid that we provide ukraine helps to protect in advance, american national security interests in the region and beyond. america has an

abiding interest in stemming russian expansionism and resisting any nations efforts to remake the map of europe by dint of military force, even as we have tens of thousands of troops stationed there. moreover, as one witness put during our impeachment inquiry, 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. there's nothing particularly new about the idea of getting russia bogged down in a long term proxy conflict in a country along its borders. that concept goes back to late cold war geo political strategist, the big new bridge in ski. if the major cities say cargo of se kia, were to resist in street fighting, became a necessity, it would be prolonged and costly. and the fact of the matter is, and this is where the timing of this whole crisis is important. russia has not yet ready to undertake that kind of an effort. brzezinski also made some interesting

predictions about ukraine. you said they will never join nato. rodzinski also bragged about what he called the afghans, wrath setting up a situation where the soviet union felt obligated to intervene in afghanistan and then bogging them down with a long term war. he bragged about giving the soviet union a, quote, vietnam to weaken the country. so apparently us leaders claim to care about ukrainians while they're setting the country up for a long term war. caleb martin r t new york or canada is now taking center stage in western efforts to send more weapons to ukraine. kind of the foreign affairs minister safe, her country is bringing in the private sector to help on kiev forces. the canadian diplomat speed should have recent conference with interrupted by a political activist and writer who accused melanie julie of provoking a global conflict for and the war need.

for the 3rd world war 3 shameless. you investigate a reporter, alex rubinstein, phase the west is using the conflicts to chip away at russia's economic and military power the united states and, and in europe. far as making statements. the effect of this being kind of a long war. and the goal of that is, is an afghan style operation, where they use this proxy conflict to chip away at russian morale, the russian economy, the russian military, et cetera. they're kind of dangling the nato membership in front of the one ski. and at the same time, just using him as a pond to, to increase hostilities of russia. the one thing that does distinguish this, and i think that this is an effect of their just being so much animosity in the west against russia. they're doing this all out in the open with operations cyclone enough canister, and the see i had it for years. the same thing with timber site,

the more in syria here, it's being done in the open because they can i and that's, that's really the scary part about it is because it shows that the, the great power competition is an accepted doctrine for the west. here countries on discussing a 5th package of sanctions against moscow, even defining rushes, actions in ukraine as war crimes. but almost 23 years ago, there were a few questions in the west about the u. s. lead bombing of another sovereign state yugoslavia, where as many as 5700 civilians were reportedly killed. this cross live to make hysterics in our film, director screenwriter, accent producer, and musician. thank you very much for joining us on the program. it's good to see you. now, i'm in western politicians say the ukraine conflict is europe 1st war since the world war 2. have they forgotten about the war in yugoslavia? it's, it's simply incorrect because this is just the 1st phase of what we see today

because in 20 years, many things have changed since a yelton's rush hour the time we were absolutely alone in our efforts to fight for our freedom and a border that we kept until nato was born, begging for 3 months consecutively, every day and killing many people. in theory, we could say that this was a period when international law was changed for what a called the humanitarian low. and once you do what i did to us, anybody who thinks about history and what was, what are the consequences of certain moves? could i see that we have the much a complex picture of what is what is going today? you know, no one in the world if we take humanistic tradition of rational

european western orientation goods o'clock would be for the war. but we have to just find that in the last 150 years there were 95 wars which were never stopping after the one or 2 we haven't ever we have to remember. in fact, it even victory of 945 was the one when they were assigning potsdam steel. that the churchill and truman were ready, in fact, to attack russia, which was a noticed by a zip code who moved 70000 people over the french smoother. because church in wanted about $200000.00 a, the soldiers who were just giving up weapons to be

engaged contrary to service for. so i think we are still really here with continuity of work is the constant layer in the history, which is very useful for me. and i would say going against what was offered by us in the last 20 years partnership with us. and this was never accepted. now when, you know you have people who are, you know, the truth, this war didn't come just out of nowhere. anybody who so so the movie of the very prominent french documentary, who shown us what was going on in the last, i would say 6 years from 945 from 1900. 16 knows that this is a continuation of something that was seated much earlier. it didn't come out of

nowhere. and if you look at the media, everybody on the west believes that there is just an evil as approaching the whole story from one side, which is not enough to understand the historical conditions under which this law is going on. yeah. and now it's been 23 years since the native bombing of yugoslavia killed thousands of sets. and many will remember that famous cover of time magazine with the headline bringing the said the hill and massive bombing attack opens the door to piece how to set up. see that now? did the bombing achieve pace a bomb being achieved? the one thing, since some of the resources didn't allow them to come with investments they did afterwards, and they were just, it was one in the, in the series of revolutions that was coming after 2000 after the elections,

which was never proved, that the loss of your choice, but once i know now we are closing very close to next elections and you have a different advisors from washington. were saying, if i would each wins or if we are going to see him grinning again, it might have happened that we are going to, to foresee a new my, that i don't think is going to happen. but, you know, after so many years, we feel probably we are the only european nation who could sense that tragic dimensions of any war that was going on in. and they were about $22.00 after the war war 2. so we are close to, to this tragic element which no dots or no german or no french after the war were to have sense. now we could say that

like any war, we could take the war from humanistic point and we could take the war as a great enterprise. the enterprise was doing all over the place, you know, be witnessed the beginning of the war in iraq with the fake alarm, which was the live for the mass. this, this section rich, lately i was just discovered. but the problem is, when the polar world, nobody is paying price for it's a moves. now we are facing the deconstruction of the power around the world. and what matters, i think in the end is what kind of smartphones you her, if you don't have a veterans, as we didn't in the, in the, in the late nineties, we couldn't defend ourselves. but we still, if you come to serbia,

you could face something incredible. syria is the place where people freely speaking about the consequences and what was coming to the war in serbia and what was, what was before the, the conflict that is now on going in ukraine. and i don't know if it's going to be after the elections, but i hope that people and i think in this country, people will never forget what a called humanitarian aids, which was sent through the bumps here that there's massive support from fed rallying in favor of rushes occurring military action in ukraine, only concerned that this could complicate relations with a european neighbors. you know, silvia is the small islands in which people still think about the free picture creating a free picture of the whole planet by scenes. and this is thanks to the fact that

the rest of the world does not own. oh, the media. as it happens around the, our neighbors and around the world. there are some dissonant tones which are coming from hungaria. sometimes we see that turkey is doing something, there is no to sampler moves, america is going i don't know how long it's going to last, but so be a still the place where you could raise the voice against somebody who is just for beating something that is a common sense the city of ski is a part of the culture. again, here is even very pro western oriented old writer who's, who's also forbidden. if you, if you compare it to this different times,

this huge and i would say almost an incredible, incredibly, a panic version of cancelling culture is just not seen in the history of europe. they were burning books during the a few dollars, even in the middle of the cities, and they still don't burn the books. but unfortunately, we are just a foreseeing and we are just to see something that europe was never ever doing in the past. in a special position in which i think and i find it's very societal the way they don't want the to be cooperative on the ground economic level. 23 is a guy, joe biden was a senator calling for

a tax on yugoslavia. now as president of the united states, he's positioning himself as a peace make as an opponent of war. so both range, do you think of reason why didn't was never please make? and so by that is i and i order, she will in the maintenance study in my them a new and they were even open the say that they were doing, even before anything was noticed before even policy was said, you are going, we are going to have our kids going to the kindergarten. they are not thinking of us. we're, we're going to have our kids going to school and they are not, we are going to have people who are going to get pension plan in the other day or not. so this kind of pretext is just ignored. as i said, the movie that i've seen about the numbers by prominent document that is from

france. it's just the question of conception and the loss of real life spectrum of human approach to every nation around the world. this is decomposing status that was after $945.00 including bon bingo, serbia. but only go serbia was just announcing as a, as a 1st act. now we are witnessing the 2nd oh the same. hm. story and western governments, the paper of long ignored rushes, concerns about the militarization of ukraine. and of course the influence that neo nazi groups of hot on not countries armed forces. what possible reason would they have for ignoring be they, she's you know, what i was eating one strong who is working for financial times. and

she wrote the are missing molecules. and if you remember what was going on from 974, when nixon met for the 2nd time out to. so we could just notice that the whole period from $9074.00 american investments were making a small percentage of americans very rich by using cheap labor in china. in the meantime, china grew up into the great economic power. you have a russia who was just a inheriting from soviet union, some very high level technological reference. and now apparently you have a 2 sides of united states in which the trades goes very well, which is pacific and atlantic. but middle united states is just having a great economical, racial, and other difficulties. so for this, we have to have

a very, very careful way of, i would say, explaining what happens today. a warning ukraine and putting weapons over there understands the situation inside united states with somebody who could do anything but not making a peacemaker. you have now even and guardian, some articles, speaking about the hell that is produced by, by jo. whether from the time he came into the power into the white house, and on the other hand, you have a demonization of every single person. this is something that touches me as a, as a man from culture. how could somebody there to fire get here? who is sending just after ever thought a kara, diane,

how can somebody even imagine to cam so the greatest a romantic, a composers that and i gave it to, to europe. what i believe in the near future, or i don't know how long time it will come. they will understand that under a quote for pushing the say of ski tolstoy, our ancestor go from what we call european culture. what is going on now is just cutting something into the 2 pieces and one way or another in the near future, we are going to see these pieces coming together. and the same in the, in the i'm seeing the same getting the full meaning of somebody in front of somebody who is very much against cancer or culture status. this was announced one year ago or 2 years ago,

which is connected to the fort industrial revolution. and kind of getting demons throughout the digital process. but on the other hand, europe cannot cancel anything. russia was giving up to the rest of the world than war than the rational world, from its sources of its own culture. i just today is a guy savvy as president that his country gets russian gas the almost a free testament for the because they cannot make time between the 2 countries to a further development. do you think i expected for bilateral relations? i don't know. you know, the problem now is absolutely irrationality. european union wants to get, i guess, an oil from russia and the european parliament, or some kind of advisory team over there, sent to our president the conclusion that we don't have to use an arson gas.

so this is on the table, which i think our president will find a way and we have even elections. i don't know who will win. so if he wins, i believe that he will find a way to, to keep up with something that is much better for cetera, then what, what is much worse. so if you have a europe that in you got ties with a gas. but at the same time, you know that they are taking the guys because they can solve the problem at this moment. this is absolutely irrational, and the whole thing is just becoming and i hope, i hope, i hope that the goals of ukraine and russia are going to be reached within the next 2 months. and the world will be much better place after all of this because i'm thinking back if russia would have had

a stronger economy and military banking in 1990 s, do you think it could have provided most support for week? as long as you're in the war, you know, there is a, one of the russian general schools just giving you the statement the other day saying that they were trying to help. but the other thing was the men who stopped delivery of s 300, which could have been much more of the help that we have done without anything. so they were bombing us, 3 months consecutively, one day after the other. so if russia was at that time in the status of somebody who was not just serving the, the i was, i would call it a less than only got a he with the work much better. but anyway, so the people remember they might forget sometimes they remember what was going on

at that time. and i think most of our people just understand or not to be pro war, but understanding the courses which lead to the one that is ongoing on the conflict and you korean. nowadays, if you have $300.00, though the war would agree and different, unfortunately, we didn't have nothing, everything was destroy the 1st month after. but what is very important to notice. they never came on the ground because they know how so the people fight and make a stir it. so film direct us green light to act a producer and musician. many thanks for joining us on the program today. really appreciate your thoughts and your insight on this. i thank you. thank you. ah, now natalia member of the european parliament. so her facebook page taken down by the network's managers after she voted against the resolution on anti russian sanctions. francesca and auto page. it was later unblocked. facebook's parent

company matter has been busy silent things, some opinions of ukraine, but encouraging others. the platform temporarily allowed was being called xenophobia, letting uses in some countries cool for violence against russians. i've been most goes operation in ukraine method even briefly allowed death threats against president attendant, but a since prohibited such calls. let's go live now to francesca and also you parliament member, and the ne p. you had her facebook page blog too many thanks for joining us. on the program is good to see you. now francesca has facebook explained why exactly they took down your account. no, they didn't explain anything. they didn't even reply to my questions. and this really, you know, dreadful because i'm a member of the european vitamin i not to come and citizen and i use the my facebook for my information for my communication
