ah ah, fighting intensifies for the key ukrainian city of mario paul as the russian military press is on with his drive to clear out. nationalists forces who are using civilian buildings for cover i'm being told that every day move such trophy weapons, calling behalf of the russian troops. one of our correspondents in ukraine gets hands on with these western weapons which are pouring into the country to wage was being called a proxy boy against russia. despite us lead calls with a key cause that oil exporting terminal to europe and the u. s. is damaged and could remain so for some time leading to fear of further price hikes and supply shortages plus as western politicians on the media continue to

criticize russia over its operation and ukraine. we look at how they covered the us, led invasion of iraq all to differently. ah, a warm welcome. you're watching aussie international. it's good to have your company this hour. now as basil is continue for control of ukraine's key port city of mario poll, we've received some exclusive pictures of the combat zone. this drone footage shows the aftermath of fighting between russian and ukrainian forces which include nationalist battalions and refill. it's all of a local journalist on stringer for r t say these 9 story buildings have been cleared of nationalist fighters, but they continue to us and fire from another building which has not yet been targeted by russian forces. i mean, because local residents,

you haven't managed to escape via humanitarian car doors are still hiding in the basement. is part of andrea for the progress report from the embattled busy books. you know, the least with the the nets meliss unit by entered one of the 9 story buildings. this is the apartments of a local resident as of militants hit, the advancing forces from this balcony. and therefore, whether the next militia fight is like it or not, they how to destroy the homes of civilians. thus, the humanitarian situation is deteriorating due to the actions of as of military. when as update you on more of the latest from the ukraine now, kind of kind of says it will use private sector resources to provide more weaponry to key of some discussion of further use sanctions on russian gas. let me also be as president household on bulgaria to continue transiting russian gas to his country and hungary. foreign ministers in budapest will veto ease sanctions on rush

and gas in ports as well. the e itself has approved a new strategic doctrine, which is says, will strengthen the block security and with the war in ukraine. while nato countries have refused to enforce the no fly zone in ukraine, the u. s. lead block is stepping up, its arm shipments to key of washington is reportedly due to send soviet, made at defense systems in secret to ukraine. fueling the fire fighting that despite open the calling for pace. some of the imported weapons of now being seized and examined by the russian military with white house officials, continuing to defend the policy of escalation. the united states delivered $650000000.00 and 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 had expedited the delivery on and we will continue to do exactly that. and we're not doing the salon, are ours, and partners have stepped up to revise significant shipments of security assistance,

and will continue to help facilitate these deliveries as well. russian armor versus american missiles, ukraine, once a country, know 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 a weapons buffet for the ukrainian military from small arms to advanced anti tank and anti aircraft missiles. american go seemed eager to make, keeps 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. arguably, these world conflicts 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 panza, 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, for, 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 aircraft's 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 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, go in and kill russians. that's the blunt recommendation from leon panetta, who as us defense secretary, i was still the disastrous destruction of libya in 2011 vanessa who as c, i a chief defended officials who committed torture,

also admitted that the u. s. is waging a proxy war against moscow in ukraine. we are engaged in a conflict here. ah, it's a proxy war with sir 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. while leon panetta is controversial statement comes just a day off to president by an approved and additional military aid package for ukraine totaling $1000000000.00 parties. caleb, more pin gifts, more examples of us politicians who don't hesitate to open a mention, a proxy will against russia. 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 had to present a note 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 you. crane 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 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 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

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 in 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 is 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 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

ukrainians while they're setting the country up for a long term war. caleb martin r t new york collector is now taking center stage in western efforts to send more weapons to ukraine, kind of as foreign affairs minister states. her country is bringing in the private sector to help keeps forces the canadian diplomat speech. a recent conference was interrupted by a political activist and writer who accused milanese only of provoking a global conflicts. and the war need for a 3rd world war 3. shame on you know what we spoke with the protagonist of that incident in the east angler. he said that the west is trying to turn ukraine into enough gamma stuff like plug. now, 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 ministry cords and, and basically talk about how canada has helped precipitate this conflict from its role in, in the, my 2014 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 the navy. and what that would mean effectively can us and others pumping in endless amounts of weapons. and so the last, the premium was living to was going to fight and die. mean, if we really, yesterday i said we need, we need to have insured and 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 some vital oil with transportation equipment at a terminal near the russian black sea port have never received cause been heavily damaged as a result of a storm in the area. the facility of the key happen rushes. cathy and pipeline which transports large volumes of oil company in charge of aside phase were passed could take weeks with oil output expected to drop significantly. authority say none of the oil is leaked into the black sea as a result of the incident with the ceo of the pipeline consortium asserting everything is done to exclude such risk losing security for we will have to reduce both shipments and reception through the pipeline and the reduction will be quite significant, more than half at least, i mean, were forced to exclude any risks of oil and turn the seas. so of course,

this equipment will be the commission for preventive repairs. and it will take at least 3 weeks to carry out the replacement work. the work is carried out sequentially. we have the terrors for a has now, but whether it's enough will depend on the volume that we have to change. right now . relations with foreign supply partners quite complicated. so i think that there will be certain difficulties in the future in supplying the same hoses that we will need to replace in other places. couple remember, as well as the company see, i just mentioned shipments and receptions through the pipeline have been reduced. we discussed the issue with energy technology expert carrillo rodeo enough. it's a great up of your most speaking of volumes taking into account the fact that 60000000 tons of oil were shipped through this pipeline last year. such a break down will lead to the fact that the volume of shipments will be reduced from $170000.00 tons of oil per day to approximately $50000.00 tons. there will be a $3.00 to $5.00 fold decrease in the volume of oil shipments by tanker. the

pipeline is part of the largest international oil, a transformation projects, mainly managed by russia, and carfax, dan, oil is being transported to the company's marine terminal. in the west of the city of nevada, see square it's loaded into tank. as for shipping to other countries, eager, huge called the leading analyst at the russian national security fund explained the ramifications of the incidents correct on our local mcglochan amerihome room key. cuz exxon is quite a major player on the global markets through this pipeline has. histone has been transporting its main volumes of oil to the west. so it turns out that at least one of the supplies is falling out of the export market for a while. this will be noticeable in some countries which were traditional recipients of all supplies from this terminal, specifically, southern europe, including italy, spain, and southern france. most of the oil when they add parts of it, went to the usa, around 10 to 15 percent. this is also an unpleasant turn of events for the united

states, which has to stop the important russian oil of the imposing sanctions and now need to look for an alternative supplier. while another producer is now interrupting it supplies, as well as the result, fuel prices on the u. s. domestic market may rise. there is already a shortage on the global market. and here a fairly large player is reducing supplies. at least from this terminal. this will aggravate the deficit on the market. oh, most likely push the prices of oil up and has become somewhat of a trend for western celebrity to way in. i'm ukraine. hollywood star inform a 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, he gave him countless letters from don bass. children suffering under ukraine's bombing for years. says his auntie, rushing claims, get it completely wrong. i'm sending this message so various different channels to reach my dea russian friends. brain is a country with a jewish present and a jewish president 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 a kremlin, started this war yelling, 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. dont you know, mother who has been to the dumbass more than 20 times is also an activist helping local children there. she thinks he did not even read all the letters. she personally handed him no, don't worry just a little. and 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 would have taken some action before that. but i can't blame him because i'm sure that he had hurt to the policy of his state as

a us citizen. you need to share kind of an image that you aspire to be like i do. and things to this image. i also to you great successes in sport and social activities, but of course as a person, arnold really disappointed me. to be honest with you, i've been receiving threats for 8 years, so i'm 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 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, which i despised washin that goes the anger at the war and ukraine. he seems very happy back invasions by his own adopted country during the 2003 u. s. invasion of iraq even travel that to boost the morale of troops. good, because there's no one there that i go. that goes and sometimes ask themselves in question, why am i doing this? is it was them have pointed to the hypocrisy of swash and they go closing his eyes

to the actions of his adopted country, the u. s. c. list as we mock the 19th anniversary of washington's invasion of iraq where hundreds of thousands lost their lives on his way to blevins report. it has been 19 years since the u, as in his allies invaded iraq. b 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. ah, years war, intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. after all the destruction of the past 3 weeks, i find it difficult to conclude that the russians are doing otherwise. 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. it launched an invasion into a rock widget 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, the professionalism of these people. and also waiving to the troops as they went by giving them a thumbs up. and the. busy soldiers themselves feeling a certain sense of relief waving back. so the only thing of

a shot 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 been 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 wiki leeks, which publish the raw footage of us apache helicopters, firing indiscriminately on civilians in july, 2007, killing over a dozen people including to order 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 illegal and violated the un charter back in 2004, the architects of the iraq war continue to walk free to this day. and it's not just

iraq over the last 20 years. the u, as in his allies have dropped more than 337000 bombs on other countries making for an average of 46 strikes per day. so in the same politicians as supported one war after another suddenly claim that they care about civilian casualties. all the biggest question becomes why now in washington, rachel, robins, archie, with the rocky still struggling to paste their lives back together. after nearly 2 decades of us occupation. we looked back at one of the most appalling atrocities committed by american forces in the country when it became a global sensation and led to the us soldiers involved being sentenced to prison. a warning you may find the contents of the following video distressing. hello, this is our american and coalition forces were in the early stages of military operations. this armor breeds people in the world. great danger.

ah,

we discuss the issue with for me, us marine corps intelligence officer, scott whitter. he says the us had a much more heavy handed approach in iraq. there's no doubt there's bach receive. there's nothing new hypocrisy is the name of the game when you have, you do political foes of, of this nature would know the united states a to day trying to paint russia as a nation that violates international law by, you know, carrying out an unlawful war of aggression, there's no comparison. now. there was no analogous situation, a rock um that it to what had been transpiring in the dorm bus for 8 years up there the, there's just no comparison between the 2 might say in the united states when it went into iraq, intended to commit war crimes. no, i'm just saying that they have much more heavy handed approach, which focused more on the destruction of military objectives and less on reducing

the impact of war on civilian populations, rushes more morally grounded, and its defense of the russian speaking citizens of don bus were subjected to 8 years of unrelenting violence by the ukrainian government, or they had much more justification and going to their defense in the united states had in pursuing a falsified claims of weapons of mass destruction era. so the president has called on ian and the bulgaria to keep transiting russian gas to serbia. the routine union mostly cutting down is dependent on ration feel and other e u. member hungary has 2nd to veto sanctions against ration entity in port charlotte defense. he has more go gary's head this plan, and the idea is to shift away from rushing gas. and unfortunately, that may have now hit this pretty significant hurdle is being described as a potentially historic move the country saying that when it's contract with

russians and gas from expires this year to feel we'll be looking elsewhere for its energy needs. however, not so fast as you heard that says neighboring soviet that also gets its gas from the bulk and stream, which is this pipeline that runs through bulk area. and so being presidents, alexandra, which is said, his country pays for transit fees for that gas through bulgaria. and he wants it to come from russia, bulgaria has announced that it will cease importing russian gas. i'm not sure that this is so easy to execute. we are simply saying that we want russian gas from bulk and stream. you deliver the gas to our gas pipeline for which we pay and what you want to do next is your concern. this is not our problem for us. so cold water use a cold on those plans by the director of assume been gas company who said that bo guerria as plans are pretty much m t dreams. now bill gary though,

like other countries, is eyeing up natural gas supplies from other suppliers such as cats on a big to cease purchases from russia. it's also waiting the completion of another pipeline. this is a pipeline that will link grease and bulgaria, and that will see, guess that could be pumped in from azerbaijan. so it's already looking for gas supplies elsewhere. and the pressure on buying russian energy with acts that has really been ramping up since the start of the countries invasion in ukraine. we've heard from some you countries that say they want and all right. ban on trade at with russia, and also right back when it comes to buying, rushing gas and oil. they say by continuing to buy it from russia. they're essentially financing through the back to the war in ukraine. it was a coalition of countries from the baltic nations to poland,

to demanding this when you ministers of met on monday, trying to bring countries in line with their views, but they failed. however, islands, foreign minister has been persuaded, looking at the extent of the destruction in ukraine. right now. it's very hard to make the case that we shouldn't be moving in on the energy sector, particularly oil and cold. but speaking after that meeting, we heard from the use foreign affairs chief, this is joseph brown, who said he just wasn't the day to take such decisions. the kremlin has also warned about what kind of impact such an embargo could have and how much that could hurt europe. and there are suggestions of talent remeasure which could seem moscow actually cutting off gas supplies the blog, and that we understand would cause massive issues in germany. they talked about a halting of the supply, which would seem must unemployment and also poverty. so some really big issues. however, so far it does seem as if the you doesn't have quite the appetite to make such

a bold move. that could change though, when you, as president joe biden, heads to brussels this week, he wants to push them into a total embargo to follow in the footsteps of us, essentially ban all russian energy. thanks for joining us. aeronautics international f. all the latest updates. you can check out our website auto dot com . ah so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is often very dramatic. development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk

for is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? wharf is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows.
