[000:00:00;00] a, [000:00:00;00] with that sort of taking control of the administration building in the city of matter, you pull that up to a month of intense fighting. you creating all authorities meanwhile, accused the cramming of capturing and illegally deporting to russia. thousands of the cities, residents, china lashes out at the american method in the war, claiming it was the instigator to complete. it comes a, china will hold trade. so russia, despite all the pressure points on asian countries by the west, we discussed the confidence position on russia regarding the ukraine crisis with

there's this desire to malign china. china poses sanctions of all forms. it poses threats of sanctions. and it supports the position of their child. we plan to make you believe, doing a marquee later while we have leading the money that's been brought india. historically, the leaders golf, it rushes the money to pay for its energy rubles. the g 7 summit takes place in brussels. meanwhile, the rebel begins to call back some of what is lost in the crisis. and the u. k. left red faced and demanding youtube removed a video of a phone call in which the british defense minister thought fit russian friends did give them crucial information on the conversation. it became clear the u. k. plans . the sale is naval fleet to the black sea.

ah. from moscow to the world you're watching on the international on his peter scott's . and it's great to have you with us now it's being claimed, the administration building of the southern city of mario paul is now under the control of the russian military. and as war rages in ukraine, china has put the blame on the u. s. claiming washington seems to shift responsibility for its actions on to others. meanwhile, european commission chief ursula vonda lion says the block won't lead russia circumvent functions and use energy supplies and then instruments of blackmail that comes after moscow announced that quote on friendly nations would have to pay for gas in rubles with western sanctions on russia. already put in global food supply chains and the pressure french president, among macaroni has sounded the alarm of the possibility of an unprecedented food crisis. but 1st, let's break down what's happening on the ground in ukraine. it's being claimed,

russian forces have taken control over the city hall in murray. you pull us after a month of intensive fighting. this is some of the latest postage from the city showing many of the residential buildings had been completely raised to the ground . locals claim the infamous as of battalion and ukrainian forces had been putting civilian lives at risk targets in the building. in this video, the severe fighting has left many locals caught in the crossfire and on thursday he, if officials reported they have evacuated more than 2000 miles, you pull residence. ukrainian authorities have also accused mosque of illegally deporting around 15000 to the cities residence to russia, with the humanitarian situation. the city, dia, russia, says it started distributing aid. meanwhile shelling was heard in the northern parts of ukraine, 2nd largest city, called cove on thursday, instant left at least 6 civilians dead and more than a dozen wounded. it's a car park of

a local shopping mall that's according to local authorities. big smoke was seen billowing from residential neighborhoods as well. here was quick to put the blame on russia, but moscow's yet to comment on the incident. and over in the done yet republic, local authorities say almost every building has been destroyed or damaged in the city of von. the vodka, although rebuilding work has already begun. local hospitals, a local hospital employees earlier, claims ukrainian militias used their hospital to fire from an 6 civilians died of the shelling. they also say over 300 people who are hiding inside were used effectively as human shields. but as michelle listen, i thought they were firing from the 2nd and 3rd floor seeing we were hiding in the basement. there were more than 300 people there on the soldiers knew that we were there though. i don't know. maybe they were using us as a human shield goes along. they did not explain anything, just said that they were told to stay in our hospital exposure. we called for the

troops to leave the hospital territory, told them not to use it as a battlefield, but they refused. but we try to rebuild the hospital and we are getting a lot of help. we're so thankful for to people donate blood, but volunteers help us to fix windows, which cellophane doesn't, hopefully, we'll get electricity back soon. and finally, we'll be able to work. now, a number of western reporters have headed to the done yet, and luc guns republics to cover the situation that the water and region are correspondent from unconscious votes. a canadian journalist ever bartlett, who explains why it's important to reform reports from the ground. eve is just so one of so many foreign journalists who are arrived here in the dentist to try and see what is actually happening here. so i have um, so oh, is this your 1st time here? imagine so you've been here several times once before in 2019. ah, one more time in gore left continaries north of there. i've been working here for

about 8 years and i very rare to saw any western journalist here a why do you think that is and what is your opinion of impression of from coming here now in twenties, what is it? i think the reason that ye saw very hugh western journalist is because they were all reporting them from the ukraine side from in care of and elsewhere or abroad. not even bothering to come to the region on the agenda of most corporate media journalists is to come here already with an idea in mind. take a few sound bites, get some shot, especially if there's destruction that fits their narrative very well, and never give any context there. and i think to showing them without any sort of white helmets type theatrics in stage teens showing, ah, yes, showing this kind of scene, but then interviewing people to get contacts as to why it's like this. i showing the people that we saw in the, the, that a town square who were there to receive aid, to hear from them what their lives were like was their life really wonderful and democratic and free and of the ukrainian forces. as we're being told in western

media, the problem is that, you know, there's a media conglomerate to that, that all have the same message and the same messages. ukraine is, like i just said, democratic and bringing freedom to the people. russia is bad and of course the people here that just want to be, you know, free of the ukrainian and nazi rule and if their lives and speak their language, which happens to be russian, you know, ukrainian. so no western media will vilify them. the instigator of the crisis, that's how china has labeled the us blaming the west for the war in ukraine to run the talk to me for china's actions clearly contract the u. s. method from lead to artificially create a crisis to shift responsibility and to make products. however, one country is the main instigator of this crisis. everyone, no one. despite that anger from the west, the position of many asian countries towards russia remains unchanged. the chinese foreign minister is set to conduct trade talks with russia in india, and it comes as pressure grows on new delhi to sanction moscow over the conflicts

which the indian prime minister in ranger modi has so far refused to do. i'll see that donald call to discuss the topic with my colleague. you know, neil basically this trainees diplomatic tour is taking place on the backdrop of a massive pressure campaigned by washington. actually, it's basically intended to isolate russia from countries that are trying to maintain good relations with both sides of the ukraine conflict and basically stay neutral as for what we can expect from this upcoming meeting, we can look at one of the main topics that were discussed between china and pakistan, just re, just recently, that's the heretic effect that these anti russian sanctions are having on the world economy. let's not forget that both phasing and new delhi are facing pressure by the united states by washington for publicly coming out against the sanctions. india, for its part, is one of the world's largest importers of russian military technology. and washington is trying to pressure the country to just entirely switch over to

american weapons. another thing that the india recently did was that it bought around 3000000 barrels of discounted russian crude oil. that's another thing that washington was very upset about in terms of china. it reacted very negatively when the u. s. called for russia to be excluded from the g 20 as it was with the g 8. so let's take a listen to what both washington and beijing had to say about that. on the question of the g 20, i will just say this. we believe that it cannot be business as usual for russia in internation institution's and in the international community. which if i share the g. 20 is a major platform for international economic cooperation with the participation of major economies in the world. russia is an important member and no member has the right to remove other countries as a member of asian, also stood by russia when it tried to pass a un security council, a draft resolution that all of the other members of the security council actually abstained from so another important point we have to talk about also is that the

2022 meeting of bricks countries is set to come up very soon. and it's widely expected to take place in china. so, while washington attempts to isolate russia from all of these bricks countries, it's actually starting to look like these threats and demands are actually turning these countries against the united states. so there is a very big possibility that washington's pressure campaign is going to end up backfiring. earlier we asked on the list from both countries just how significant those tours between china and india could be regarding the current situation and ukraine. it seems to be major grice is involving all the partners, all the countries for asia and europe, and the u. s. is open to docs when to dialogue. and india is also a started at the moment. in gavin, you not take anything lying down as a lead editorial in china daily today,

titled india not obliged to scratch us back, strongly supporting india's choice to remain neutral and maintain ties with russia . i'm hopeful that this meeting for shadow is a significant warming of relations between the 2 countries. as it's clear, they have a lot more in common than not, and perhaps points to a new era of friendly relations that will deeply unsettle washington's so called private asia. india has always maintained strategic independence between on the back. no, it has and india is going to place you with that approach because that's been the brought your india historically. and i don't see any time changing on doctrine because india would like to retain that independence because we, how fundamentally believed in a month later was we have no multi one word. china, hoses, sanctions of all forms. it poses threats of sanctions and it supports

a position on a tragedy. now that we have this conflict in ukraine, there's this desire to know, malign china, to associate it with a conflict in some sense. why is the us trying to impose us on, on china and this i think there are, there are 3 possibilities. the 1st is a few excited fears of sanctions. regime won't work without china's compliance or 2nd. it wants to expose china to even greater inflationary pressures. if china doesn't imply in their mind damage china's economy, and 3rd, if china doesn't comply, then again, it wants to add this to this course. it's already got in place of maligning china, essentially blaming the world china and somewhere. and so now that the u. s. has the stabilized grade and said this conflict us expects china to abandon their strategic self interest for fuels. aaron, and neither prime minister mowdy nor presidents, shipping or fools with

a meeting of the g 7 group of richard nations taking place several e. u leaders condemned russia's demands to pay for his natural gas and oil in rubles. the summits main focus is an action plan for further sanctions against russia. issues on russian energy were also on the agenda. you leaders claim that they will not allow russia to circumvent the current sanctions. this would be a unilateral decision and a clear breach of contract and it would be an attempt to circumvent the sanctions. we will not allow our sanctions to be circumvented. the time when energy could be used to blackmail us is over. following a hugely fluctuating few weeks, the rubel has strengthened against the dollar in recent days. but you gas prices have spight more than 25 percent with global oil cost increasing as well. which of that is believed to be because president putin ordered the quote on friendly countries use the russian currency to pay for a gas imports. the ceo of russian investment company,

sputnik colleagues on the loss of things, the decision will weaken the euro on the european market. a stay, it's been a union on the countries of the total economic war against jason. right now. wars during the cold war, there is a net or call correspond to go to banks. and so guess wrong. and some companies have no problems. doors under euros, internal. this is some weakness of euro, i guess, door will continue on and kind of into national threat and settlement. but i expect huge problem for nicole west and sanctions on russia, putting global food supply chains under immense pressure the measures of for through us. it's a whole, it's wheat exports until the end of the year,

while ukraine has also stopped tech support to avoid a war time food crisis. together the countries contribute some more than half of the wheat and corn exports, the middle east, and africa, and french presidents, manuel macro, and said the world community is on the verge of an unprecedented few crises over the conflicts. he also notes in africa, the middle east, a particularly endangered simms of food, or some has worn food, a full, a bit of affordability, has become a huge problem. indeed, the escalating ukraine crisis has been a big deal to the east africa crisis at the moment. it has sent prices oh, key commodities such as a green carter, laser oil rocketing. and we do not, for example, that east africa inputs 90 percent of the tweet from ukraine in russia. so when prices are rising, explanation, it's really impacting, especially the poorest and most vulnerable, who are struggling with affording that they are challenges with their global food

system. so at the moment, one of the things we are highlighting is the fact that affordability for debility is the biggest challenge for many people in the region. and so people, especially from low income countries, can not afford the prices, for example of what it is, such as bread, you know, and which are made from meat of stress. especially because people is coping because have been stretched to the ending it some or having to resort to skipping meals or buying food on, created to be able to feed their children or having to you know, murray off their young daughters as they look for resources to pay for food and medicine. nato is the secretary general claims. russia is creating a pretext to use chemical or biological weapons by accusing ukraine. the u. s. or nato are preparing to do so. the words came at the extraordinary nato summit over

the situation in ukraine, with the leaders making joint statements condemning russia and warning of consequences of using chemical or biological weapons. joe biden did the same, however, he wouldn't be pushed on. what exactly that response would be? would the u. s. or nato respond with military action? if he did use chemical weapons, we would respond. we would respond if you use it, nature, the response will depend on the nature of use. back in 2017, russia officially stated it's had destroyed his chemical weapons stockpiles. and he's now urge in the us to do the same. at the same time, washington itself isn't defy, over weapons of mass destruction. we're basing bringing the law over security threats. the claims opposed by us bio loves it comes up to versus defense ministry is claiming joe biden's, son hunter, as a direct link to legit bio labs in ukraine news just along the russian

defense ministry continues to analyze documents revealing the military biological activities of the pentagon. in ukraine, where the incoming materials allow us to trace the scheme of interaction between us authorities with ukranian biological objects. attention can be drawn to the involvement in the financing of these activities of structures close to the current government of the united states. in particular, the investment fund, rosemont seneca, which is headed by hunter biden. rosemont seneca partners, is the firm tied 200 by the u. s. president san and the russian defense ministry is listing a financial entities that are involved in these bio labs and ukraine. now they also listed george soros is open society institute and open society foundations, which are also involved with them. and as well as the ministry of defense of ukraine in the ministry of health of ukraine and the u. s. department of threat reduction. all of them seem to be tied in with these bio labs, and it appears that there,

that rosemont seneca partners are the reason that they would be involved is because they have a relationship with meta by ota and black and beach, which are main suppliers of pentagon bio lab materials. now our moscow is also coming forward and saying that it appears these bio labs are connected with institutions and research organizations that are related to nuclear missiles. this is what was sat must have a program with the sale of the program is impressive. in addition to the military that the u. s. agencies for international development, the george soros foundation and the center for disease prevention control are directly involved in its implementation. new scientific supervision is carried out by leading research organizations, including the los alamos national laboratory, which developed nuclear weapons is part of the manhattan project. all these activities are carried out under the full control of the pentagon. now the over 30 bio labs are accused by russia of being involved in weapons development and trying

to developed biological weapons. now the usa denies this and insist they are simply research facilities. and we did here acknowledgement of these facilities existence from us under secretary victoria newland. ukraine has biological research facilities. we are working with the ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of russian forces should they approach the fact that she expressed this concern about their possibly getting into the hands of russian forces. does suggest that these are pathogens that can easily be weaponized and it does raise the fundamental question that was raised earlier. why is the defense department funding them?

and why do they even exist in ukraine that comes under the auspices of the defense threat production agency in the department of defense? i know of d t, what we call d t s a i. i was affiliated with it at one point during my defense department career, but it was designed to do as a entity was to oversee the de nuclear is ation adherence to treaty obligations against the spread of nuclear weapons and biological chemical, biological weapons. so for d t s a to be involved in something like this is rather incredible. in my opinion the u. k. defense accuracy is demanded. youtube take down a video of himself, being caught out by a host called ben wallace was phoned by to russian pranksters, one of whom poses ukraine's prime minister. a wide range of topics were discussed including ukraine, potentially launching

a nuclear arms program. we would like to continue the nuclear program in order to protect ourselves from russia. it's a difficult question, but with think to start it. okay. do you think, i mean, i think more than being neutral, russia would really have that for sure. we are know that we know this, of course, but it's the one of the question that we're interested. but if you could help us in this regard, it would be really, really important. ok, well i missed prime minister on all those big questions. i think there is a question. i need to speak to my prime minister that the principal is we will support ukraine as our friend in the choices you make. a part of that video was censored by the pranksters themselves, as they say ben wallace gave away information that would compromise britain's national security and response. danny steve says the entire video is

a risk to the country security, and it believes that russian state actors were responsible for the product that claim was directly rejected by the company g o. information revealed by the defense actually included plans to move you case ships closer to ukraine. we or we will go into the black sea. i think we are due to go soon in the black. see how close we go to ukrainian waters where the russians currently have a blockade. i think we will be open to discussions about looking at that. i think the whole questions with the prime minister, including the security dialogue security guarantee. we are happy to look at all of them with you. so we're not going to rule anything out. earlier we spoke to one of those pranks. does alex a study or of he's also known as lexus, and he's just concerned that such a high ranking person can be contacted so easily. some my friends from,

from the u. k. they told that he could not be in person who is responsible for the national security of such a great country, like the u. k. and the country with the nuclear weapon. and she's a responsible person for all of those areas. so, and if it's easy to reach came by just a private person. so just you could, you could imagine what would happen if some persons from intelligence try to reach him and to get all necessary information. so i think i could only advise to be careful in such moments when they are let or they mentioned that this is kind of propaganda kind of thrashing propaganda. but we do not. it's

a, he's words, he's speech. so if it's a purpose, and so then it's propaganda or secretary was it? she's words, we didn't change anything. now, a common theme since the conflict and ukraine began is ukraine's president. volume is lensky requesting more military aid, including tying from nato states. zalinski has been busy addressing parliament across the world, and he's scheduled to make more appearances in the coming days. the president also asked the european union not to postpone a decision on ukraine's admission to the block. we discussed the landscape move with funny, funny co day leading member of the ruling all progressive congress party in nigeria . lensky. going to all the parliaments of the west and having audience with them. and they're cheering him on the encouraging and it's not destitute, but it being fun. it's not their people that are being killed. it's got this soldiers that are in the field. he wants to be the hero. but in fact, he's a very, very bad man. he's

a man that does not care about the consequences of what she's doing and about the suffering that his people are undergoing. and i simply really people, this could have been avoided, but he was pushed into it and he fell for it. and now he's already so you need a new leadership, they need an honest, decent leadership for the pragmatic, a ready to ensure that they guarantee the neutrality of your grade. they give the people of eastern ukraine the right to determine the future where they want to be an independent state or the once we part of russia, the lease quite near a lot of seated. so russia are, they give a glare undertaking to try well, they will never join neutral and they'll never be part of europe. meanwhile, being a capital of belgrade, people have taken to the streets in support of russia, as was to mark the 23rd on a verse of nato's bombing campaign yugoslavia. processes gathered in front of the former army headquarters waving serbian and russian flags. the bombing of yugoslavia was the 1st time nato used military force without un security council

retrieval. the former yugoslav, government estimated at a time around 1200 civilians were killed. as a result of the campaign, lucio russia, defend civilization mankind. we must give them our support on it. as you can see, nato is now putting troops on our borders in romania, bulgaria, et cetera. we will never trust them again, and we will never forgive them for the children and civilian casualties all the summer before. well, i am here to mock the 23rd anniversary since this evil thing happened, that the whole went well supported. at the same time, we want to support our brothers, the russians, because the same thing is happening now to them. the whole western world and oldham is a nation just like they did with this and called us different names. they want to raise them as a nation, just like they wanted to do with us anymore. however, it won't happen just like they didn't succeed in raising us. they want to raise them either. i guess the reason why i am here is that it's 23 years since the nato

bombing. the same thing that happened to us is now happening to russia. we want are the best for them. we want are the best for ukrainians to hopefully soon we will get out of this evil the u. s. has warned it will punish any countries helping russia to bypass crippling sanctions and an interview to archie and v. a news, the former russian president on current deputy chairman of the security council dmitri medea said he believes the u. s. will no longer be able to influence world politics. as before, the paulette on the more mule, the unipolar wells has come to an end americans and no longer the masters of the earth. is also assessed the actions of western countries against russia, of the situation in ukraine, and pondered whether europe would be able to refuse, rushing gas, or the fall interview will be at tomorrow. at the 40 floss ah, well, that's it for now. feel free to head over to r t dot com for more stories,

an in depth analysis. my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again at the top of the hour. ah ah ah ah ah ah

ah ah. ah, the men you called was signed. on february, the 12th 2015, it was meant to end military conflict in ukraine between government forces and on birth militia groups. the agreement stipulated that both sides would withdraw heavy weapons to an equal distance from the contact line. this left several 100 settlements trapped between opposing forces. local civilians became unwitting witnesses to and victims of the continuing civil war. thousands of people still live in small towns and villages that have become the new front line. they call this area the greys ern
