for join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, russia accuse is nationalist ukrainian battalions of launching intensive missile attacks from civilian areas. a park called while much of the city lays in ruins. also a head on the program paperwork litters the floor, but high tech areas are left on the touched, just all of the contradictions in the claim that russian forces looted lives up there to noble nuclear plant. we report exclusively from the cell. so this is a research complex that focuses on studying radioactive materials. it is in the direct vicinity of the true noble power plant. and what's peculiar about it is that it has been maintained with the support of the european union screaming about it. i'll stick as like this placed all over the equipment here. and at the same time as

the you claims to want to deescalate tensions with russia. the block continues the sanction moscow relentlessly. it comes as protests are up in spain against the surgeon gas prices. but some countries, no urging against imposing sanctions, which they say could hurt europe more than russia. ah wherever you are counting the program from today. welcome to moscow into the news our and r t. my names, you know, new russia has said the 1st stage of its operation in ukraine has been achieved, which moscow states will lead to its overall goal. liberation of dumbass, the russian military set on friday about its troops and surrounded har, called the countries northeast. as you can see here, much of the country,

2nd largest city is in raise. buildings includes schools and residential houses. or many vehicles are crushed and burnt. died moscow, se nationalist ukrainian battalion, something continually firing missiles from civilian areas. this is a train station in the ukranian city of laval. hundreds of people have been arriving there after being more youthful to some of the heaviest bottles of the war . local describe what they left us and living here. we have the rules as i had never seen such horror. there is no maria people, there are no hospitals. there is no theater, no galleries, nothing. maria is like rouse me. no schools. nursery. everything is destroyed. houses are destroyed. it's the horner. i have escaped budget. i have my family, i have lost all my family. i have lost my house. i'm. i'm just. well,

let's indeed show you some drone footage of mario full on sheltered buildings everywhere. really, many of them heavily damaged by bombs rocket shelling and gunfire. it's not being claimed russian forces have taken control over city hall there after a month of intense fighting around the residents of the buffalo region. have spoken of the dire situation that faced over the past number of weeks you over the last 10 days here, we are exhausted with everything. even the shops, it doesn't matter if we hear them or not, believe me, i no longer have any reaction to them. was for most of us at 2 o'clock in the morning they knocked, they said that they were from the armed forces of ukraine, and there would be a battle here. we ran out of the house and left. we hid in basements, we didn't take food, we didn't take anything. you know, we have no bread, no water, no electricity, no heat, nothing. well, no, we're all coughing. the situation is bad. no help from any one for a month. but you know, bread,

no water. we run through gunfire to get water. there were 6 corpses on one row, we were afraid to run their search. so we began to run along another road. there are soldiers, there is more or less come here to double the gil. it's showing this as well. russian army engineers are continuing to deal mine areas in ukraine, southern her san region, us after retreating, nationalists, ukrainian battalions, punted minds on roads. you can see a russian soldier making say, what appears to be an improvised explosive device filled with metal, shards at the roadside. and one of the mines allegedly planted by buchanan military has drifted across the black sea and ends up its been bulls boss restraints. in this video taken from social media, you can see it both approaching the mine church authority say it was diffuse a precautionary measure. upon fishing,

at nights in the busy water earlier russia said at least 10 printed mines had washed away after training and trips mine to death and articles and other nearby fords. turkey assures locksley borders with both russia and trains. when ralph ukrainian precedents love him, zelinski has accused russia of abusing his position in the international arena of threatening the use of nuclear weapons against key, which he said could destroy not only ukraine, but jeopardized life. on the whole, solid flores littered with papers, but high tech labs, left untouched, most the condition of a key research lab. but there chernobyl nuclear power plant, the mid media reports it had been looted by russian forces, with an exclusive report from the side on those contradictions. here's ortiz. well, that's may be only a handful of places in the entire world as iconic, as the chernobyl power plant. we've come here after

a series of reports published by some ukranian sauce is that the rob wildfire raging in the area and that the russians aren't letting fire brigades in to let them tackle the blaze. well, hopefully you can see how much fires the rays, how much smoke there is exactly in the air smaller there's none, and you have to take my word for it. when i say it doesn't smell like anything is burning for kilometers and kilometers away from here. so we'll come to see how the power plant functions. right now when there's a russian military operation in ukraine. from the abandoned station, we had to a nearby radiation monitoring lab, following reports, it was ransacked and looted. true enough were met with this scene. ah . but as we come through the debris, we start noticing

a strange pattern. while the office floors are littered with domestic junk, all of the labs remain unscathed. so this is a research complex that focuses on studying radioactive materials. it is in the direct vicinity of the chernobyl power plant. and what's peculiar about it is that it has been maintained with the support of the european union, screaming about it as thick as like this placed all over the equipment here. but it is hard to see where the money exactly went, because you don't have to be an expert in brady, active science, to see that all this equipment here is very, very all you can see rust all over, you know, all over the draws basically all over the place, so again, this is clearly all of it, the legacy of the soviet era. the equipment is in a pristine state flasks and while the still neatly organized the marauder to nato has very deliberately steered away from them. and as we dive into a dog basement,

we're in for a worrying discovery. so here what we have is the only piece of more modern equipment that we have been able to find. in this lab. it has been provided by the european union, at least the funds for it. and apparently radioactive materials are still inside to have this dose meter in my hand. it's very old. it's soviet. you can see it reads 00.32, and then very carefully. i move it towards this container. well, you can see for yourself how high the numbers go. and there are still a couple of containers inside. in nearby rooms, we uncover troves of equipment easily worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. if not millions. some of it could have been carried away by a single person, but wasn't plenty of offices. he and the storage facilities have been looted,

but it's interesting to see what has been left behind, for example, well toilet paper, soap. and if we move just little further down, this little passage, there are bandages sacks and boxes full of them. so the stuff and the items most needed on the front, on the front lines have been left behind. so whoever destroyed this place wasn't in for the money or supplies. as more things don't add up, the place begins to look like a massive art project. there were, nobody will, from that. we arrived after receiving information that the russian military had destroyed unlimited the research laboratory. we found a big mess in all the officers and rooms. but the most striking thing was that all the equipment used by the staff was still there and in good condition papers scattered across the floor suggest that employees made the mess while they were leaving the laboratory. most of the paperwork is still neatly in its place. the last documents are dated february,

the 21st. all the expensive research equipment is in excellent condition and untouched. a video surveillance survey turned out to be blank. we detected increased radiation on the 1st floor and basement. i think it was criminal carelessness to leave such facilities unattended. so this place as server room, if i may call it that used to be right here, while it has been completely ransacked along with a c, c, t, v, security post or room, whatever you may call it, whoever created all this may. hm was very much interested. nobody finds out who exactly they were with due diligence. this lab can be said back up and running within days. everything with even the slightest use has been miraculously, or rather intentionally sped by the raiders. i'm because done of reporting from tra noble r t. now as i'm sure you know, to sky high energy prices are plagued europe for the past few months,

but no sanctions against russia fueling further discontent by propelling those costs to never before seen levels. and that's led to social unrest in spain, in the ton of i, a monte that's near the florida with portugal. look at this large cause a smoke blocking a highway after around 40 fishermen set fire to barricade made of tires to protest, expiring close to fuel spain. as a whole, deed has been by demonstration stage by various trade unions, but protest bike truck drivers throwing the most attention in an effort to address the problem, the government towns offered truck. there's a rebate, one time cash payment. but the group behind the protest has rejected the overture and vowed to keep off protest quote. and definitely not the greek prime minister has admitted that the huge, unprecedented sanctions against russia quote do bites while also hurting the european economy. at referring to rising energy course, he warned that the should be careful not to let the measures damage here more than

they do. and moscow that says traditionally neutral countries such as switzerland have also to the use line of anti christian sanction at humber university research . hello, be john teller. so told me earlier, he is convinced the sanctions are causing irreparable damage to your company. i think that the european union leaders actually know what the goal of the sanctions they're pulling it because they have no agency and they are for by the american to do justice. they say you're the shooting it out of the book just by putting that for the everyone to say, oh, we have to soccer a bit because it's for break a call would cost is that and suffering. it's suddenly great. and, you know, industrial production is down by record numbers, factories shutting down because production is no longer economically possible. and these energy prices, many industry groups are saying that we are unable to keep the fashion for much

longer before we go to the last thing and permanent damage to the foundation of the european economy loc, the europeans, for us to pay and roubles there is last thing the my for this currency and this precipitates and move away from the dollar at the global currency of freight and commerce. be john tele solely now, after years of criticizing neo nazi elements in ukrainian society, it appears that the b, b. c is now seemingly prepared to tolerate them. in a news report on friday, the broadcast interviewed a ukrainian soldier who had not seen symbol clearly visible on his uniform. yes, say the determination. and a little help from wisdom weaponry go this far. would it will, it will won't tales as we have to move a global model. so will the patch on the soldier's arm is the symbol of nazi

germany. s s. s division, known as debts head. the the vision was formed by concentration camp guards at the start at the 2nd world war. it's was known for the mass murder of war, prisoners including $97.00 british soldiers caption fronts in 1940. no mention of any of that was made during the interview. while contrast that to reports in previous years and 2014, the bbc reported on the rule of neo nazis in the coo and ukraine. 2 years before that, the channel made a documentary centered on racism and anti semitism and ukrainian as well as polish football stadiums that came ahead of the euro. 2012 championships held in the 2 countries sun showed new nazi gestures being made that ukrainian stadiums, editor of the grey zone you side. max blumenthal says it's particularly important to report on the issue of extremism in the conflict. sunsets the west who supplying crane with weapons as i just revealed at the grey zone. the bbc corresponded and fixer who is shaping that networks. coverage of the events around mar, you poll,

is actually a ukrainian nationalist. public relations operative who is involved in creating a viral app that is being called by the washington post, one of the you top ukrainian information weapons. and so i'm not surprised with the white washing. it is unfortunate though that western audiences are deprived of important context on ukrainian politics. and what brought the situation to this point. ukraine is one of the only countries in the world that has an officially neo nazi unit with nazi inspired insignia incorporated into national guard. who civilian wing, the national corps has operated under the auspices officially of the interior ministry when arms are pouring in and we are seeing british made light anti tank weapons in the hands of fascist right sector battalions. and the as of battalion, we should be concerned about what will happen with these weapons after the war,

what they will do, and whether they will carry out their plans for a civil war or a wider conflict beyond ukraine. and that's why it's important, as well as the fact that they helped inspire this conflict and accelerate the push to war with their actions in eastern ukraine around the don bass, consistently attacking civilians and violating agreements. western media outlets clearly don't agree with president perkins claim that one of the main reasons bond ukrainian conflict close to di, nuts of 5 the country. they say it's absurd since presidents against these jewish, but they may have forgotten that one of ukraine's main jewish community leaders or a column whiskey is also a sponsor of armed new nazi malicious ortiz. paula steer can tell us more. susan says he wants to de, not certify ukraine, but the west claims. this is a false flag because with an official say, how do you d not if i a country who's president is jewish. when you hear vladimir fulton talk

about the ukranian government as being full of neo nazis as somebody who is of jewish descended heritage. how do you react to that to those statements? for me to hear it just again? it's as if something, something similar to tone coma. i cannot take this segment seriously. what if i told you that one of the leaders of ukraine's jewish community go column whiskey is a major supporter of these guys? ah, the only golf is one of the 3 witches people in ukraine. a media mogul who owns the countries main tv channel, and his profits have directly funded an armed emir nazi militia. we actually take

care of many battalions. this is both knee per one and don bass were helping a shot to us. as of either we have the font of land defense, which additionally finances, the families of the guys from the battalions. i can say that color moist, keyed donates a lot. this is not showing off at all, by the way he doesn't say much about it anywhere and doesn't show figures, but i can say that he's one of the main donors, at least 70 percent of the costs incurred by the font he covers the rest is donations from other individuals and organizations, his influence over these battalions was so great that even the western media labeled them column whiskies puckered army more does luca sansom as for their supplies. this is our territorial defense. how can we not support them? these militia groups were until recently blacklisted by facebook and accused of ice, a star war crimes. ah

ah, the militia later became part of ukraine's armed forces. while cullum, whiskey redirected his enormous wealth and influence to support no other than brought him years lensky in his political aspirations, the oligarchy gave the act training ground to practice being president on his one plus one tv channel. the 3rd season of the show aired during the real life presidential race boosting selling scenes image and giving him a chance to take his fictional character. beyond the tv screen, i will do everything to ensure that these laws are adopted. this is just a beginning. so important talks about do not define ukraine, perhaps western officials would be better not to point the finger at its jewish citizens. ah, no arts,

he has spoken to russia's deputy foreign minister mikhail bog down off. he sees washington's hysteria and his words over sanctions. can beasley explained, ah, here was cuz of them. some will witnessing fundamental changes in the very system of international relations. the system has been destroyed because of the west's aggressive and illegitimate actions which violate all norms as well as the un charter. 1 may say that we now live under the law of the jungle i. e. lawlessness, which is based on the west's maniac or aspiration to dominate the unipolar world for decades after the soviet union's collapse. all major economic and political decisions were made in the white house, but nowadays this line is challenged by the sovereign countries who respect their own independence. this is the reason for us hysteria. they understand that the times of their unipolar ruler ending the modern world can only be multi polar

from 2 yellows will the very policy of sanctions, if you can call it a policy, is nothing new for russia. we've seen many other countries experience the same state before. for many years, they sanctioned russia as a state or russian companies or our people and the different pretexts. now the pretext are also different, but the general lime remains the same to restrain russia's development or china's venezuela. to has lived on the sanctions for a long time. iran, syria sanctions do hurt, but we'll cope sanctions or nothing new for russia. we've seen it before. we venezuela, iran, and syria. the goal stays unchanged. it is to restrain russia and its development just with different pretexts. ah, loom was of the same azaleas ne, russia, an hour of an african countries are interdependent, and mutually beneficial trades take food supplies, for example,

both from russia and ukraine. the u. s. is trying to hinder our trade, which is very important to the people in economy, but they won't succeed. how create a thinkin will always find a way to secure good and mutually beneficial partnerships in case something else to bring you to the united nations. secretary general, antonio, good cherish has pleaded for both sides to embark in a ceasefire and ukraine, calling rushes military operation, an absurd and on winnable war. russia for its part say's its objectives have always been clear with more on the background to the conflict and russia stance years ortiz, rachel blevins, the chief of the united nations is calling on russia and what he referred to as the absurd war and ukraine. so with the current battle and during a 2nd month, let's take a look at how it got to this point. continuing the water, you could use morally acceptable, politically indefensible, and militarily nonsensical by any measure. but even the shoe,

this calculation is fine to stop, defy, think, know, and give peace a chance if you time to end these absurd walk. so what does he mean by that? well, let's start by looking at the accusation that russia's role in the war is politically indefensible. to the current conflict has been years in the making with the basis of it surrounding the dynamics. can they've gone republics, which declared independence following a u. s. supported government, coo and ukraine, back in 2014. the new ukranian government's response was to go to war with the republics. and even when the misc agreement of 2015 promised bo this cease fire and t as the recognition of the regions autonomy, it was never fully implemented. in fact, when russian president vladimir putin announced the launch of a military offensive after moving to recognize the independence of the republics in the dog bass region, he noted that the conflict was pushed to this point because of ukraine's refusal to

recognize the 2015 of cor, i'm you skew the misc agreements who killed long before yesterday's recognition of the people's republic of dumbass and not by us, not by the representatives of these republics, but by the count authorities in kiev. there is the nino factor, while its members have branded it as a purely defensive alliance. it has more than doubled in size in the last 25 years as it expanded to the east. this cause it repeatedly assured russia wouldn't do so . when for a secretary of state james baker saying there would not be even an inch of expansion to the east back in 1990. if we maintain a military presence in germany, which is part of nato, there will be no expansion of nato jurisdiction of and they took forces even an inch to the east. while russia has repeatedly voiced concerns of the expansion of nato to its own border, would put moscow in a direct conflict with the entire alliance. it is also noted that nato membership

for countries like ukraine would give it the ability to gain access to nuclear weapons. to that former secretary of state, madeleine albright noted in 1997 that the u. s. has made no guarantees. i do not believe that the debates about nato should be reduced to a debate about russia. russia would also like us to make absolute commitments in the charter by the deployment of nuclear and conventional forces on the territory of new members. but we will not compromise on this issue. as for the claim that the current war is militarily nonsensical already has made its demands clear since day one. that is, goals are to demilitarized into d nazi fi ukraine. but this week, u. s. department spokesperson, net price admitted that the u. s. is actively discouraging the ukranian government from making any concessions in as talks with russia, therefore, prolonging the war the by an administration is also viewing the complex signing off

on a historic $13600000000.00 and funding for ukraine. nearly half of which is aimed at supporting the framing military. as u. s. army dealers rate in the money, russian officials have been quick, you know, just who is profiting off of the continuation of this complet. washington wants to keep russia in the state of hostilities for as long as possible. they count on continuing supplying weapons to ukraine. and finally, the claim that the war is morally unacceptable ignores the fact that the ukrainian military has been targeting their republics in the darn bath region for the last 8 years. during which time it's estimated that more than 14000 people have lost their life. as a world wakes up to a conflict that has been ongoing for years, far, right, new nazi extremist and ukraine continue to play a prominent role as is claim that they're using civilians as human shields. but while the un cheap cause rushes role in the war, absurd,

he leaves out the reality of the proxy war. washington is now engaging in against moscow, as it says, new weapons to the region while increasing its own troop presence around ukraine. provoking the possibility of a direct conflict with russia in washington. rachel blevins, r t option puts the tough questions next to a senior russian politician over the country's military operation in ukraine. that's and more, besides coming your way in the latest going underground, red. ah, blue a

mouse another body while div easy while furnace us. oh, yeah. when you said one slide yes. south. yeah. thrashing south with in your dock. awesome voice now watch. done for me at that i'll pull up my pizza is emma? yeah. full of video from she'll let me just kim's room should thoughts. did you say a yes, my thought or jane in there again. do you watch anybody out there be a lot about this morning just naturally.

hm. i with the i'm option retention. you're watching going on the ground, the team, and i will be back soon with a brand new look this wide major nation and the you censorship. but until then we'll be showing some of your favorite shows of the season so far. i'm after it and say we're going underground on ukraine's day of resistance to occupation of the autonomous republic of crimea in the city of savannah to fall

this at the end of a week in which british politicians have been seemingly attempting to interfere with the independent regulation of broadcasting by calling on you k, p. m, boris johnson, to shut down this channel effectively ending press freedom in the u. k. johnson, the former journalist himself claims the doing what the british labor policy want him to do, would amount to be being as bad as russia, with nato nations in the u condemning. russian president vladimir putin for authorizing what russia calls a special military operation against ukraine. after antony blinkin canceled his meeting with russian foreign minister, counterpart, sergey lever of nation media is talking about a whole new era and geopolitics. let alone nuclear weapon use here are naughty and had going underground. we seek to question more, as well as provide viewers with all sides of any debate. we have been reaching out to pro ukrainians to hear their side of the ukraine invasion return in the current climate. many do not want to come on to talk to us. we like therefore to extend an invite to any ukranian journalists or politicians watching now to come on the show

and give your side of the story. but joining me now from moscow in the.
