12:01 pm
iraq to differently with this is ancy international broadcasting line from moscow. it's good to have you with us. his bottle cans, bottles continue for control of ukraine's key port. city of mario, paul, we've received some exclusive pictures of the combat zone. this drawing fatigue shows the aftermath of fighting between russian and ukrainian forces, which include nationalist battalions. andrea for the top of a local journalist and string of r t say these 9 story buildings have been cleared of nationalists finances, but they continue to open fire from another building, which is not yet being targeted by russian forces and made because the local residents who haven't managed to escape via he want to carry in current goals are still hiding in basements. his passive andrew phillips hopes report from the
12:02 pm
embattled city with resilience, not the least with it. the next meliss units by entered one of the 9 story buildings. this is the apartments of a local resident as of militant hit, the advancing forces from this balcony, and therefore whether the next militia fighters like it or not, they had to destroy the homes of civilians. thus the humanitarian situation is deteriorating. due to the actions of as of militant though, well, let's wrap up some the latest on the conflicts have ukraine now, kind of to say is it will use private sector resources to provide more weaponry to kias submit discussion of the e u sanctions on russian gas meanwhile, serbia's president has called on bulgaria to continue transiting russian gas to his country and hungary, foreign minister, se budapest will veto e u sanctions on russian gas imports as well. the u itself has approved a new strategic dorm train, which is says,
12:03 pm
will strengthen the block security amid the war in ukraine. will nato countries have refused to enforce the no fly zone in ukraine? the us lead block is stepping up its arm shipments to 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 openly calling for pace, some of the imported weapons have now been seized. and examined by the russian military with white house officials, continuing to defend that policy of 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 delivery on and we will continue to do exactly that. and we're not doing this along or ours and partners have stepped up to revise significant shipments of security systems. and we'll continue to help facilitate these deliveries as well. russian armor versus american
12:04 pm
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 are more lethal. it's to weapons buffet for the ukraine in 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. well and here 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 missile used by the nazi germany against soviet troops. back during the 2nd world war,
12:05 pm
arguably these well complex as these missiles, they caused 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 p g was decommissioned by germany all the way back in 2013. now americans stinger missiles are a common threat for russia's helicopter pilots, apollo. as we flew over enemy territory in a call, 52 helicopter, the enemy fired from the ground. the aircraft was hit when stinger missiles are detected. the aircrafts on board defense system engages and fires decoy flares. it's a reliable technique and let you get out of the situation. in fact,
12:06 pm
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 c i did with timber sycamore and syria, which is much the same arming and training. these extremist factions in order to serve as proxy forces to take out an opposing state. the, the real question as is whether russia will be able to move fast enough to cut off the supply lines. i'll go in and kill russians as the blunt recommendation from leon panetta, who has us defense, secretary of the soul, he disastrous destruction of libya in 2011 vanessa, who as a cia chief defended officials who committed torture, also admitted that the u. s. is waging
12:07 pm
a proxy war against moscow and ukraine. we are engaged in a conflict here. ah, it's a proxy war with the russia whether we say so or not, that effectively is what's going on. and the way you get leverage is why frankly, going in and killing russians. panetta controversial statement comes just a day off the presence and bind an approved and additional military aid package for ukraine, totaling $1000000000.00 is caleb morgan gives more examples of us politicians who don't hesitate to open mention a proxy war against russia. it appears that us officials have been mulling over the idea of setting up a proxy war with russia in 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 that we just haven't seen. and the russians really have happened as presented on some problem. so many other
12:08 pm
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. congressman 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 nation's 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 it 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
12:09 pm
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, big new brzezinski. if the major cities say cargo, se kia were to resist and street fighting became a necessity, it would be prolonged and costly. and the fact of the matter as, 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. regency also bragged about what he called the afghan trap. 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
12:10 pm
ukrainians while they're setting the country up for a long term war. caleb martin, r t new york. ok, there is not taking center stage in western f as to central weapons. the ukraine count as foreign affairs minister states. her country is bringing in the private sector to help our kids forces the canadian diplomat speech. and a recent conference was interrupted by a political activist. and why, sir? who accused melanie jolly of provoking a global conflict. why and you know, war need a 3rd world war 3 change, you know, meanwhile in the cities my declared occur if you to keep civilians off the streets during potential night time, a tax software, least 8 people were portly killed. but 1st, let's go to our guess as close live to the protagonist of the story and canada,
12:11 pm
east angler, a canadian writer, and political activists. many thanks for joining goes on. the program is great to see. now we just heard your comments during that incident, but you were quickly pulled away by security stuff. so was there anything else he wanted to say to kind of the foreign affairs minister? well, i wanted to say, why hasn't the canadian government, which provides all kinds of support to the government and key? why haven't we been pushing them to incorporate the their obligations under the mince, minsk records and, and basically talk about how canada has help precipitate this conflict. from its role in, in the my dad and 2014 protests with the canadian embassy was actually used as a safe haven for a week by opposition. protesters including members of the far right. so canada, canada contributed a whole bunch of backgrounds to the conflict that we see today,
12:12 pm
which, which i must say i completely against the russians invasion, but candidates, policies of expanding nato and all across eastern europe. canada was a big more aggressive and pushing nato expansion in eastern europe in the 990. and even the u. s. government was an even amidst the growing tensions in january. ministers are ne, she said she doubled down saying that, yeah, we think that ukraine should still be part of nato. so the korean government has taken all kinds of very belligerent positions that have really exacerbated the tragedy that we're seeing are among the people calling for an end to western weapons supplies ukraine, but they, the us, lead block has also been calling for pace. i get, it was the conflict and ukraine's and quickly, while such mixed signals being sent here. because they don't want to con,
12:13 pm
contact and quick means the, the, i think, the decision makers in ottawa, washington, i very much knew ukraine as a proxy against russia. they think that the, the things are going well for the russian military, which is probably correct. and they would like to see something equivalent to what happened in afghanistan during the 1980s. and what that would mean effectively is can the us and others pumping in endless amounts of weapons until the last ukranian was willing to was willing to fight and die. and so the canadian government is, is totally committed. that ministers early yesterday said that we need, we need to have ensured even more weapons in the ukraine. we're going to go find weapons from other other sources. they have completely committed to just a fueling the conflict. and i think the most canadians don't understand that what's
12:14 pm
actually happening, how they knew this is, this is just sort of your val valiant ukrainians, fighting a foreign aggressor, which has a certain amount of change to it. but there's a context which canada has brought this, this tension to, to the, to a boiling point. and now they would like to have it continue by, you know, continuing to fuel, continuing to pump weapons into engine ukrainian military. well, if, if isn't data folks, the war between us lead block against russia, what is the western countries are actually expecting to achieve? well, i think that they are expecting to achieve, you know, we can a geopolitical game. you know, this is not new. canada invaded russia in 1971809th, 196000 canadian troops. canada has had a century long history of hostility to russia. obviously, a one point that was framed as anti soviet. and there was an element of that that
12:15 pm
was that, but another element is simply geopolitical and russia is a powerful country. and canada is completely tied into washington. and washington wants world domination, whether that's, whether that's with large china, which is increasingly in economic competitor or with regards to russia, which is a, you know, somewhat of a military competitive. and so, so it's about, it's about, you know, controlling control and world affairs. i think partly it's also about the nato controlling security arrangement within europe, rights of german and french initiatives for european oriented security arrangements that would include russia, nato, and the nato expansion. nice word undermines that part of what nato's about is that it's about arm sings, and it's really good to the u. s. army industry. well, the canadian arms industry is mostly the major players are u. s. arms companies that have their operations in canada. but on top of that
12:16 pm
candidate has a defense for production sharing arrangement. globe back to where canadian arms companies sell to the pentagon as if they are american companies. so kennedy is completely integrated into us arms exports, which is also part of the background to nato expansion. and to ratcheting attentions with, with ration he's on glare canadian, lighter and political activists. many thanks for talking to us today. and so bringing up your insight. we appreciate. thank you. let's go to the latest from kiev now. the city's mayor has declared a curfews, kept civilians off the streets during retention nighttime attacks. as of 2, at least 8 people were reportedly killed during the bombing of a non functional shopping center in the city. and nearby buildings were also heavily damaged versus offensive in history. explained that it targeted shopping center because it was being used as a heavy weapons base by the ukrainian military. moscow released to this drone
12:17 pm
footage of the site showing ukrainian armed vehicles parking at the mall. and even opening fire from the location rushes defense ministry said it would not target civilian infrastructure without a justifiable reason. ukraine's military forces have previously been accused of using civilian buildings as basis whether some verified photo taken by a residence of care of is believed showed the ukrainian military equipment located near that mall. the picture was previously posted on line days before russian forces bombs the shopping center that was later deleted by the offer. brazil would be door if i posted a video on tick tock showing the movement of ukrainian military vehicles. they were in the vicinity of the retro val shopping center. there were 2 self propelled howitzers, william caves, mer vitale. cash co has commented on the recent strike on the shopping center. also claiming that schools and kindergartens were damaged in the attack world. will you what the enemy continues to attack the capital?
12:18 pm
the shopping center burned down and 6 residential buildings were damaged as a result of the showing. 3 of them had been rendered uninhabitable. 8 people were killed. the premises of 2 schools and 2 kindergartens were also damaged westerly and a b. c journalist has reported on a ukrainian school that he called quote, a massive military warehouse, confirming moscow's accusations that key of is using civilian infrastructure for military needs. ah, it's become somewhat of a trend for western celebrities to weigh in on ukraine. hollywood saw on former california governor arnold schwarzenegger is one of the latest off to he recorded a special video on the conflict, but it, russian power, lifting well champion hoko, gave him countless letter from don bass, children's suffering, and the ukraine's bombing for years phase. his anti russian claims gets completely wrong. i'm sending this message through various different channels to reach my dea russian friends. brain is a country with a jewish president, a jewish president,
12:19 pm
and my birth whose father's 3 brothers were all murdered by the nazis messy ukraine, did not stop this war. neither did nationalists or nazis. those in power in the kremlin, started this war. yeah. and the reality is, arnold that your terminator not only did not protect, did not help, did not save the children of don bass, but did not even read their letters and did not try to understand the situation or not. sometimes it's very difficult to understand. being thousands and thousands of kilometers away from us. but you still have those letters and photos from 2015. don't you o. m, of a who unlike swastika, has actually been to the dorm vast more than 20 times. in fact, is also in activists helping local children that she thinks he did not even read all the letters. she personally handed him we are the more used to work with several good as women who i think if he had even paid attention to the letters or read them, there would have been some other reaction when he recorded his video. or maybe he
12:20 pm
would have taken some action before that, but i can't blame him because i'm sure that he had hers to the policy of his state as a us citizen. you need to share kind of an image that he aspire to be like i do. and things to this image, i also to have great successes in sport and social activities. but of course, as a person or an old really disappointed me. to be honest with you, i've been receiving threats for 8 years, some not bothered anymore. because after my 1st visit to don bass, i was immediately put on a list of terrorists and ukraine. i was labeled a government piece keeper and immediately started to receive threats from key if from soldiers, even him from ordinary people. i had to change my phone number several times. constantly had my online accounts hacked. this of course is very unpleasant, but i'm already used to it. and despise washing against the anger at the war ukraine. he seems very happy to back invasions by his own adopted country during the 2003 u. s. invasion of iraq. he of, and traveled there to boost the morale of pentagon troops. don't do this because
12:21 pm
there's no one there that i go. that goes and sometimes ask themselves in question, why do it is it was some appointed to the hypocrisy of swash nego, closing his eyes to the actions of his adopted country. now his remark, the 19th anniversary of washington's invasion of iraq were hundreds of thousands lost their lives ortiz, rachel blevins, reports. it has been 19 years since the u. s. in its allies invaded iraq. the anniversary comes at a time when the architects of the iraq war and the politicians who supported the u . s. occupation of the country in the years to follow are now expressing their concern over the well being of civilians in ukraine. oh reviews were intentionally targeting civilians is a war cry. after all the destruction of the past 3 weeks, i find it difficult to conclude that the russians are doing otherwise.
12:22 pm
ah, but those concerns who are nowhere to be found back in 2003 when the bush administration launch. it's quest for weapons of mass destruction and launch and evasion into a rock which it proudly described as shock and awe. shutting the country down would entail both the physical destruction of appropriate infrastructure and the shut down in control of the flow of all vital information and associated commerce so rapidly as to achieve a level of national shock. akin to the effect that dropping nuclear weapons on hiroshima and nagasaki had on the japanese and make no mistake about on the bush administration's, a deadly approach was widely praised by the media at the time. this is fox news and fox news channel, continuing coverage of the campaign, which now has begun to liberate and disarm iraq. and know that the, the, they can execute these missions and to baghdad. and have everybody come back safe and sound is a, is a testament to, as frankly,
12:23 pm
the professionalism of these people. and also waiving to the troops as they went by giving them a thumbs up. the soldiers themselves feeling a certain sense of relief waving back. so the only thing of a shout back and forth between the 2 was a sense of gratitude, apparently. and it seemed to have gone reasonably well. and if i didn't see any civilian casualties, it caused the term shock and awe became so popular. in the aftermath of the invasion, that trademark application stored for everything from energy drinks to video games . but the reality of the iraq war was far, far different than the media coverage. hundreds of civilians were killed and thousands wounded by the us led coalition and incidents involving these still yet to be universally ban w. m. d 's. according to iraq, body count which maintains the largest public database on casualties related to the invasion. while the killing of civilians was rarely shown by the media, it was made public by week helix which published the raw footage of us apache helicopters, firing indiscriminately on civilians in july, 2007, killing over
12:24 pm
a dozen people including 2 orders, journalist weeki weeks, also released cables revealing the u. s. military terrific treatment of iraqi detainees. along with the evidence that they failed to investigate hundreds of reports of abuse, torture, rape, and murder, iraqi police and soldiers. and for those who did survive, many are still dealing with the consequences of the invasion to this day, which include ongoing health issues as well as continued reports of children being born with severe birth defects. ah ah. but even though the united nations secretary general declared that the u. s. invasion of iraq was a legal and violated the un charter back in 2004,
12:25 pm
the architects of the iraq war continued to walk free to this day. and it's not just a rock over the last 20 years, the u. s. and his allies have dropped more than $337000.00 bombs on other countries making for an average of $46.00 strikes per day. so in the same holl latisha, so supported one war after another, suddenly claim that they care about civilian casualties. all the biggest question becomes, why now in washington, rachel robins are c. the indian pharmaceutical companies are poised to replace west and producers leaving the russian market. thus, according to moscow's envoy to india, us off from western medical brands announced the scaling back. their presence in russia over the situation in ukraine and leaf is re some serious public health concerns. as discuss this with a doctor to come out, this political and foreign policy expert, many thanks for joining us on. the program is good to see you. now he was president
12:26 pm
by didn't say the india is somewhat shaky on russia's operation in ukraine and it, and he's pushing for india and condemnation of russia's actions in ukraine will sort of reaction. do you expect from new delhi? well, i want to be president of united states of america has said to better prospect of the united states. some family call be in india. we have our own independence, foreign policy and our own independent thinking. so we do not by the argument of the us president, of course we do respect to view bonds by ben. it doesn't mean that we give legitimacy to give you points or we are in agreement with his viewpoint. it does nothing of that sort. as such, we follow independent policy when it comes to macro confirming in other countries. and we have historic relationship with russia, which is very solid time in relationship at the same time. we have very good
12:27 pm
relationship with the united states of america. so we do not be intermingled issues as such, you know, like issues which are of concern usa and india. we do not drag rashi. i'm so bad and issues which are up on body and b, i and ross, you know, we do not drag united states into it or we do not expect us to come and, you know, like, i mean, given and in between we respect to be we wind up every counterpart as such, but we follow an independent part and we believe in basking depend a lot with india under this growing pressure from our members. if the u. s. lead quote, group of countries which include japan and australia to condemn russia, whether you think india is priorities lie. in this case ran up, i guess we have made our pride. it is very clear in the resolution of counseling, the united nation and later on also in the un general assembly. we have always had
12:28 pm
said that a bad has to be a solution for the conflict between your brain and brought you. and we believe that ultimately, all the outstanding issues became ukraine and russia can be solved fully. honorable prime minister has several times spoken to the honorable president of russia, as well as to be honorable president of ukraine for solving the issues that cross the table. and we believe being backed up because we, we strongly feel that we, you know, lack as a peace loving mission. we advocate be and thank you for all said globe and be on the stand. and the strongly believe that every issues, no matter how complicated and house on those the need to be a fallback, cross the table and only for dialogue. it can you thought. so the position is very clear in relation to your frame and rock. here we have been saying that a while back to be bored, you know that fact and we will want and for,
12:29 pm
and i didn't get the full solution. what about role would be the quest to play for at a far bringing up your solution in the up with all will be very happy to do that in relation to the other members of the plot, the falls, which and chris do you have taken read the jump and all the other way to be a family plan in australia or the outside. they have their own independent viewpoints in relation to their relationship with russia as well as with europe. and they may have given the views, according to the real point, read the viewpoint. but at the same time, we do not have, we are not doing agreement with their viewpoint such we have our own thinking. and now printing is based on p. sam p. f. and frank, well if, and we understand that every pony is tooth again before die, and that has been the politician not being from the one that is exactly the position of india in the remainder of the day. been in other any particular public
12:30 pm
health risks. you can see for russia with the results of the western business police, and in this case, to what extent is india and prepared to help run the, as you must be aware that india recently has bar chased a lot of petrol and petroleum pro back from russia. even during the, on plato and we have, have, you don't have to be, you know, participate in a lot of oil from russia such so that fell approved be bused off india as starts like you been even branby. all of you to offer your thing both being sanctioned on russia. united states of america has been full sanction and several other countries doing the line up nato, or for that matter. united states of america, india has followed and completely independent policy in relation to russia and that will be then we have our case you're not so much of oil from russia even during
12:31 pm
this time. so back to the next.
