hi, this is to look for common ground. ah, reports emerge of russian forces taking control of murder. you post city hall for a month of intensive fighting with ukrainian forces continues there. with european leaders object to moscow is the money to pay for their energy supplies in russian currency. as the rubel begins to la box, some value lost amid the ukrainian prices, also ahead this new sour country is the main instigated oh, this crisis. everyone knows china, america's methods in the conflict, claiming that it was washington who instigated on inflame the situation comes as paging, is said to hold trade talks with my daily pressure about an asian country. by the

way, we have some guests with there's this desire to know, malign are china. china poses sanctions of all forms. it poses threats of sanctions . and it supports the position and they're trying to plan to make you believe, doing a multi nature. what we have leaving the monarchy was being b roacher, india, historically ah 247 use live from moscow. this is our t revenue catching the program from today. a warm welcome. my name's unit o'neill. let's get straight to the main developments in ukrainian conflict. it's being claim, the city administration building and marty you pulled has now under the control of the russian military as war rages in ukraine. china has put the blame on the u. s.

claiming washington seeks to shift responsibility for its actions on to others. well, european commission chief 1st live under lion, said the block won't let russia circumvent sanctions and use energy supplies as an instrument of blackmail that comes after moscow announced that on friendly nations would have to pay for gas in rubles, and with western sanctions and russia already putting global supply change under extreme pressure, french president and money will micron have funded the alarm over the possibility of an unprecedented food crisis. let's not delve into what's happening on the ground. it's being claimed. russian forces have taken control over the city hall and more useful after a month of intense fighting. at this see some of the latest footage we've received showing many of the residential buildings completely destroyed. local slain, the extremist a's off battalion on ukrainian forces have been putting civilians at risk targeting the building. in this video,

the intense fighting has left many local is caught in the crossfire on thursday. ukraine officials reported that almost 3000 murray residents were successfully evacuated. more people are due to leave today through utilitarian corridors. ukrainian authorities have also accused moscow of illegally deporting around $15000.00 of the cities residents to russia, with the humanitarian situation in the city a breaking point. russia says it is continuing to distribute aid. shelling was heard in the northern part of ukraine, 2nd largest city, hardcover. on thursday. the incident left at least 6 civilians dead and more than a dozen when did on a car park of a local shopping mall. according to local authorities, fix, smoke was seen billowing from residential neighborhoods as well as playing russia. moscow has had commented on the and the while in the done. yet the republic local

authorities say almost every building has been destroyed or damaged in the city of oliver. a low rebuilding work has already begun. local medics earlier claimed ukrainian malicious use their hospital to fire missiles from, with 6 civilians left dead from michelle. they also say over 300 people who are hiding inside were effectively used as humans. but as michelle said, they were firing from the 2nd and 3rd floors. 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 this as a human shield. they did not explain anything, just said that they were told to stay in our hospital. we called or the truth to leave the hospital territory, told them not to use it as a battle field, but they refused. but we tried to rebuild the hospital and we are getting a lot of help. we're so thankful people donate blood volunteers help us to fix windows with telephone calls and hopefully we'll get electricity back soon. and finally,

we'll be able to work or some new information has been released regarding the number of deaths rushes military has suffered since the conflict in ukraine begun. in late february, the defense ministry states, more than 1300 of its soldiers have been killed. and almost 4000 more, been injured. less a crisis in ukraine continues, russian or defense weapons are proving to be highly effective or senior correspondent, the rock as the of expands and why that's the case. ah, this is a pond, said s one russian midway head defense conflict. and it is difficult to overestimate the role that this machine has played this conflict by protecting the troops on the ground and mrs of anecdote. we fired from the truth coming back from the front flood. they say the 1st prayers for their families, 2nd breath for themselves. and their 3rd prayer is for the crews of these vehicles

which protect them all over the fraud blood from ballistic mil, self tactical missiles, drones, and that even multiple rocket launcher system. it wasn't like this at 1st. as the operation began, russian forces stormed across the border. was only when the rockets drones lorden started raining in that the pants and all the troops number, if they're not during the course get at 1st, troops didn't really understand what this machine was or what it was supposed to do . but when the rock is tactical, missiles and drones started raining down, we began to deflect all these attacks. the infantry and logistics forces began to thank us. they told us they wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for us. air defense unfortunately, isn't a sure fire thing. saturation attacks can't get through when there are simply too many targets coming in too fast. that's rare. most of the time,

the panther dismissals and canons can get the job gun reliably. here is one of the smear rockets that were knocked out of the sky by russian air defenses. if this had blown the destruction would have been a rendez, this could well be carrying a cluster bomb. cosette. so the area would have been devastated. fortunately, if like many others was knocked out of the sky before it could do any harm. the biggest headache this'll cause now is, is how to destroy it. and the summit on the topic of prayer that also is taken care of. and it looked like a in any warrior group, there are rules of a military reason, all of the true clung faithful. what of us? okay, pray for them. off of them, a chance to put together we're reaching for pu deacon. valeri has been attached to

russian airborne troops for now on 2 decades over which he, his father, 10 children that hasn't held him back. he is on a mission use with zuni to it happens most often here, some sort of impulse that provides a person to establish their relationship with got here and now rather than to delayed again, battle east chance survival often comes down to pure luck will fate as somewhat call it when folk come face to face with their own mortality. any of us need a helping hand, though guidance, and quote of deacon validity. along with the cruise of russian air defense forces are ready to offer all the come foot and the surance that they can look more at gas d, a r t from ukraine. and in an interview with r t in the ria novice, the news agency, former russian president and current deputy chairman of the security council dmitri

med viet have spoken why u. s. military actions are on the world, have never come under any significant legal scrutiny from the international community. the full interview will be or to morrow, saturday in the meantime. here's a quick preview. well, you see g c. catherine. yes. has taken similar actions and multiple occasions in the past and regions that i know we part of the immediate interests these countries enough their neighbors when a threat, the us taking the slayer iraq, afghanistan, when you the police, his military actions have never resulted in such a massive and consolidated response from the west. no one responded to, was imparted bombed in afghanistan by shutting down european coldest shops for the u. s. there were no other repercussions either. why, why are we witness in such a powerful response to russia's movies at you say, a fully justified in terms of our security more? now this is not going to sound like an insight. we clearly the u. s. believe it is a nation outside international law. above every one else finished following the

claps of the u. s. a saw and an end to the bipolar world order. based on the standoff between nato and the warsaw pact field, the u. s. sought itself as the winner and the sole beneficiary of the soviet union's demise. both while in reality, the soviet union broke up. not because of nato's activities out for internal reasons. and that's why they behave accordingly. will say they believe they cannot be brought to justice. that they have the right to judge every one, but they are the ultimate decision makers. they have the right to do what ever they want to say. there are a number of drivers behind this behavior. first of all, economically the u. s. has a very strong country. secondly, issues the main reserve currency was vengeance continuing to pile of its domestic debt. in fact, it is the whole world that is the u. s. is credited the entire world, could be struggling, plunging into crises while the americans of printing dollars. but that is why they now feel completely unpunished in this respect as well. exactly. for that reason, the u. s. his actions in afghanistan, iraq, in vietnam a few decades ago,

had never come any legal scrutiny by the international community authority. however, at the time of the vietnam nor the soviet union was still alive, pushing for quite heavy the banks at multi lateral platform is gonna shuttle, the soviet union, as you know, was looking vietnam back lead blank. the u. s. to shoot it's policy for a long time you shirts, we'll remember the way ended mind you are on the by vietnamese thousands of kilometers away from the u. s. right now it's a fact few people remember even in this country because it was a long time ago. but my vietnamese friends said the us intervention in viet nam through our more to the 19 sixty's kill over 1000000 vietnamese reddish. those just think about it over a 1000000 of video. take a look at the mark and see for yourself with the u. s. is and where vietnam is still the u. s. went in and over a 1000000 people died. as a result, i realized that even then it was never widely condemned. although we had the warsaw pact and the soviet union in place. and after the soviet union disappeared from the

world map along with the warsaw pact, the u. s. got absolutely out of control german suck, which they think they can do whatever they want you. slavic. as a case in point, we saw utter disregard for international law. the use of the armed forces and weapons by a number of countries including depleted uranium. ammunition, that was of any uproar. no. they realized they could go ahead. he concocted a justification and got away with it. today some european leaders admits, well yes, maybe they overreacted a little, but it does not go any further. again, the u. s. behaved this way around the world because they think there is no longer any competition, but they all wrong. that life does not stand still prompting new developments and international relations and new countries emerging a strong power houses that it means their centers of gravity in international relations are being shaped. take the people's republic of china, india,

and the russian federation. so the unipolar world was over the u. s. is no longer the master of planet earth. fire ah, yeah, that whole and fuel beard on saturday. no. e, you leaders have slammed moscow's the mom that quote, on friendly states use the russian currency to pay for their girls imports objecting to vladimir putin request. they say the move would breach existing supply contract. i talked through the story with ortiz policy earlier, while the reaction is to be expected. we heard from the german chancellor will have shots, basically refusing and saying that they would not be paying for rash and gas deliveries in the russian currency. he was speaking yesterday at the g 7 conference in brussels, where he said there are fixed contracts in place and that those contracts are paid in yours and in dollars. the same kind of sentiments being expressed by poland, state energy company, saying that they won't pain rubles,

but actually saying that they can't pain rubles or so stressing that there are contracts in place and, and one person cannot unilaterally go ahead and break those con, those contracts according to his, well, so we've seen across the e u leaders basically saying that this is a breach of contract. and at the same time, quite a few of them scoffed at the, the mention of so called unfriendly countries. 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. this is basically a breach of contract. this is important to understand. i don't think anybody in europe really knows how roubles look like. nobody will pay in roubles or we'll just heard it there are paula some claiming it's a breach of contract by moscow. but the e u, it has to be said on an unprecedented steel, has frozen russian assets, including foreign reserves,

which by right is owned by the russian people. so are they wanting it both ways? well, that's exactly the point. i mean, as you correctly say, we've seen, for example, in france, they frozen, they're the russian central banks assets to the tune of 22000000000 euros. they've also frozen private property belonging to about 30 russian individuals. that's to the tune of half a 1000000, half a 1000000000 euros. and in the netherlands, they've also frozen their russian assets and russian transactions. and that's to the tune of 392000000 years. and that was as of march, the 21st as specified in a letter that was given from the dutch finance ministry to the the government. so they said he has some kind of double standards and a sense that what is good for the goose is not good for the gander. the rubel air as well seems to be regaining ground thinker, a lot of people checking that every day on the back of the president's demand after some extraordinary fluctuations in the past few weeks can just briefly touch on the sure, well, the rebel briefly left left to

a 3 week high against and past $95.00 against the dollar. at the same time it pod gains but stayed well below a 100 coming in at about $97.00 against the dollar. and what we have seen is that since february 24th, the rubel has actually gone down by more than 22 percent. so essentially what you have is the russian president saying, and his message is quite clear you want, i guess you'll pay for it in our currency. but what is not yet clear is whether he can unilaterally do this with contracts that have already been signed in euro's and in dollars or less. go live, no 200 over germany and speak to dr. i camera economist and publisher of the vert shift actual newsletter. you're very welcome. the kremlin sage. it's expecting europe to work out its position on vladimir putin request on the new payment mechanism. the e. u doesn't appear to even want to try. why do you think that is?

well, i think the, you was totally caught on the wrong foot by this measurement. they thought everybody wants the euro. everybody wants a dollar and they couldn't imagine that russia does this master piece of a move by telling them ok, your credit card does not work anymore. because paying as a client in his own currency is like using a credit card where you can decide whether you pay or you don't. and russel said, no, i don't accept this anymore because they had no other option. the europeans and the us to froze their assets for an assets. so they said, well, what is it worth to have euro's if we can use them in an emergency? so the 1st one who broke the international agreement of, or not the agreement, but the unspoken agreement of the reserve currency were the u. s. and the european

. so this is just logic that russia says ok if i can use the currency anymore, it doesn't make any sense for me to deliver my gas and my oil for free for, for nothing or something i can't use anymore. what scenario are we likely to see in the event of the refusing to use the ripple for gas payments? hit the glide beneath the gas and they need so he has photos stuck. of course they are, they are complaining and they try anything to do. but even if they, even if russia would stay sticks to the remaining contract in euro's and immediately changed, the euro's and the dollar into rouble again, on the international markets or into gold. it's all the same by saying them, you can, you have to pay, get the roubles, and, and, and exchange it into into euro's. but i think what is changing now is that it is

a power ship. it's a power shift away from the human level or us dollar hagar money to a mall movie, paula hagen, money where rusher and china will be a partner on the same site. and the one who has a big trade deficits is the lose out of this game. and everybody can see and his own country, whether he belongs to the loser. so the winners. yeah. in terms of the, the, the response i, k, european politicians, as you know, they've been scrambling to reduced reliance and russian energy. we know a new task force has been announced by the block together with washington. this friday will not be a success. do you think it would? of course not. what they do is they are crushing the, the german middle stand by crushing the bridge, the american middle stand, and they may crush the british meadows. then this is a so called great reset program from close swap. and he's only got gang. and don't

forget that all the important politicians in germany, the heads of the, the main parties are all part of this. molly gar program from close swap, the young global fellow leader program. so they adjust the profits from from us and, and from the slap and his, his gang. so they have no chance they, we need the oil, we need the gas if we want to keep the economy running. otherwise the economy is declining. so easy. i am aware that when we talk like this, i kid sometimes on the macro level, but of course this is going to affect, you know, people in society working generally the poorest as well rush. it is europe's largest supplier, diesel, and other fuel as well. so the you, of course faces diesel and gas shortage is just, can you, can you enlighten us as to how the sanctions could play out for ordinary europeans, they're coming from europe to effect russia. but there could be

a blow back. yes. the, for the ordinary. it will be very expensive now. so we could face that the diesel or gas line would cost $4.00 or 5 or 6. the euro's on the, on the liter, and we could face, but most people can't afford a car anymore in euro. so the great and wealthy west is a hoax without this, and people of course, will make the politicians so responsible for this because the enter the fight or the enter. the controversy with russia is, is made without any, any reason. and the toner from the former president of the united states, made it pretty clear. and he had a much, much, much more harmonious searching politics. even though he seemed to be very hard to the outside. but in this sense, the loser will be the german middle stand and the poor people in germany,

in europe, and in the us. and if the germany economy goes down by these measurements and europe will fall apart just a word or 2, if you will on the ruble itself, it's strengthened its position on world markets. amid dev learn per request for payments in the current, we saw that over the last few days after, while fluctuations. how likely do you think the trend is going to continue that the river will stay noticeably stronger than it did? if the central bank and the responsible people are smart, they will strengthen even further the rouble. why? because strengthening ruba will make the robo for reserve currency and they will be benefiting from the windfall profits of original currency. the u. s. has benefiting from the windfall profits of reserve currency for the last 70 years. and that's basically the big bubble. they were able to, to expanding and gaining control over most of the,

of the economy in the other countries outside us. because everybody needed the dollars a one to the dollars and was able to and, and gave up their own economy again. and now the rubel has the same chance. so if the central bank is smart, they will even strengthen the roubles further. just like the smith national bank did it and about it. on the other hand, it is a bit more challenging the work of the set, the russian central bank, because now they have to, to manage more interest within russia and outside rush are. and it's just a bit more challenging the profit of it and the benefit for the people is tremendous. well, thank you so much for coming on the program and sharing your thoughts and all that . with this, we always appreciate that dr. k hummer economist, publisher life from hubbard today. but you

know, the instigator of the crisis that so china has labeled the us, stating washington has played a large part in for mentoring war in ukraine. upon the 12th, i can move on transactions. clearly contrast with the u. s method you to artificially create a crisis, the shift responsibility, and to profit from it. however, what country is the main instigator of this crisis? one, every one knows the answer. we, we urge the us to immediately stop smearing china and making trouble earnestly reflect on his disgraceful role in the developments and evolution of the ukraine crisis. and to do something practical to ease the tensions in ukraine. the claims that china sent military aid to russia are nothing but pure fabrication, both chinese and russian signs of clarify the issue. recently the u. s. has been spreading rumors targeting china on the ukraine issue that exposes america's sinister intentions and let the international community see the true face of the u . s. as a liar and troublemaker, the bush. meanwhile,

another potentially significant development. the chinese foreign minister met his indian counterpart in new delhi on friday at both countries rejected western calls to the 9th rushes military operation in ukraine. there's the 1st such high level meeting between the nations in 4 years. beijing said that the whole world will quote, pay attention when china and india work hand in hand. the u. s. has threatened china with economic consequences if it continues to refuse to support its sanctions against russia. and earlier this week, it condemned delhi for purchasing russian crude oil seeing it. but india on the wrong side of history. or we asked the analysts in both countries how significant those talks between china and india could be regarding the current situation in ukraine. it seems to be a major price is involving all the partners all the countries offer asia and europe,

and the u. s. is open just docs open to dialogue and india is also a started at the moment. in gavin, you not take anything blind 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 shout 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 pivot asia. india has always maintained strategic independence between our own go back now as it has and india is going to place you with that approach because that's been 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 multi nature water. we have no multi word. china, hoses, sanctions of all forms. it poses threats of sanctions and it supports the position on a tragedy. now that we have this conflict in ukraine, there's this desire to, you know, malign and 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, as i did 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 mike 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 in some way. so now that the u. s. has the stabilized ukraine and fed this conflict, the us expects china in india to abandon their strategic self interest for fuels. eric and neither prime minister, mowdy nor president. she can ping or fools, it's an ideology that never went away next week chronically. it's roots and why so many want to see it flourish again today or short, doc fashion, a history starting moment. ah, the law of unintended consequences is in play and in a very big way the west attempt to seriously damage the russian economy through

sanctions is very risky and dangerous, though is most enthusiastic. the sanction are beginning to understand the same sanctions will hurt their own economies and citizens. oh, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? ice elation for community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere which direction? what is true? walk this way. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the

shallows. awe on november, the 3rd 1945, just a month after the war ended, the u. s. joint chiefs of staff receive report number 3 to 9. select 20 targets to attack in the soviet union with nuclear bombs. the time was right. as the u. s. s. all was devastated by war. united states lost about $400000.00 people at the brits last less than the americans did. and the soviet suffer 27000000 deaths bmw 27000000 is an incredible number.
