protests erupt in spain, against the surgeon, gas prices with some countries urging against the imposing sanctions, which they say, code heart europe, more than russia ah, bringing you the big news tories this weekend. this is our t good to have your company. my name's in o'neill. k. we start with the news that ukraine is claiming several people have been wounded in a missile strike in the western ukrainian city of the vault local authorities. there are saying that a fuel debt was apparently on fire after being hit a little early r t correspondent, roman casa rev. told me more. we are looking at the footage that was emerged on the internet that an oil depot is indeed on the fire you creating a western disease of evolved now

a local telegram channels are saying that rocket strikes took place and this is why the oil depot is now on fire, now ukrainian officials are already accusing russia. local governor says that 2 rockets fell within the city limits. he's saying that there are reports about 5 people being wounded as a result of that won't strike. meanwhile, russia defense ministry has yet to comment on any of this that's been reported from the city of evolve. so at this point, very little information indeed would still need needs to be verified. so we'll be looking at what's happening and of course, bring you the latest as we find out. meanwhile, here on the ground in dunbar in diana, would you have verified information at least well people have been wounded in

dunbar and for those people are children now old. those who are wounded work from the city or from a rubel, at the time of those incidents and the we're all on the territory which was liberated from ukraine by the genetic army. also over the last 24 hours a civilian infrastructure was damage here, a gas pipeline which now left a lot of people without access to natural gas and at least 7 there is a dense shield building is we're also damaged as a result of showing by the ukranian army remote cost rather, the russian military earlier confirmed that its troops on surrounded har, cough in ukraine's north east. you can see here much of the countries 2nd largest city isn't ruins. raised buildings include schools and residential houses, while many vehicles are crushed and burned died,

moscow. se nationalist ukrainian battalions are being continuously firing missiles from the civilian areas. this drone footage shows shattered buildings and more you pulse. many of them have been heavily damaged by bombs rocket shelling and gunfire. it's not being claimed russian forces. i'm taking control over city hall, a symbolic. busy and indeed, strategic advance residents. meanwhile, of the embattled region, have spoken up a dire situation. they faced over the past number of weeks. ah, my, we won't leave, we will stay here until the very end. i'm. we're good if we are crimean half mary, you, paul, half crimea. what is the supposedly, who's been raise this?

this is his off did. did. they were hiding here and they provoked, shoot him, came out a fired and then left to live. there seems to be no sniper. how do you determine if there is a sniper or not? you don't know, they don't shoot at me. so now come on, i'll show you. the street is all destroyed there. i'm so nervous. i can't talk anymore. oh the missing a shell, hit the car, you crane turned off the water. we couldn't put it out. there is nothing. no water, no gas, no light, no food. we don't have anything. they just abandon us. deposit glass court here as our cat. we have 3 of them. we will never leave them, that we will take them with us anyway. this is happiness. how can you leave them? see a blue deleted. they all left people to the mercy of fate. children and old people

hide in basements hungry, no water, no food for much. there is no help. and to another big issue right now, the russian army engineers are continuing the mining operations in ukraine southern hearse on region after retrieving nationalists, ukrainian battalions of planted mines road. here you can see russian soldier making say, fought, appears to be an improvised explosive device filled with a metal shop. and 2 mines allegedly planted by new premium. no entry have breasted across the black sea, one of them ending up, and it's done both phosphorus straight. in this video taken from social media, you can see a boat approach. one of them at turkish authorities say the mind was furious, but of course the remeasure fishing has been found that night in the busy waterway local media set a 2nd. mine was also spotted earlier. russia said around 10 miles away after

ukraine, mind odessa, articles, and other nearby ports, turkey chairs, london, c, orders with both russia, ukraine. meanwhile, ukrainian president for others. lensky has accused rush of abusing its position in the international arena and of with the use of nuclear weapons, which he said could not only destroy ukraine, but jeopardize life on the whole planet. all right, and that back to those minds now are t senior correspondent roscoe's the of is near the frontline in the ukraine conflict and follow the military engineering units in their high risk endeavor to clear regions of the explosive devices along these trenches were little outposts like this where ukrainian troops lived and served 4 years near the border with crimea of booth troops. the death that weren't caught, that managed to escape lift everything behind. many were captured and taken

prisoner by russian forces. it was engineering brigades that moved him 1st to d. mine and remove various booby traps and improvised explosive devices that ukrainian troops had left. but again, these trenches stretch for miles had miles. it was engineers and sappers who were in the 1st wave of russian forces to cross the border into ukraine. from crimea. facing them were heavily fortified. ukrainian troops protected by thousands of strategically placed mines, but still to shore a lake. on the 24th of february, we were tasked with clearing a route through enemy mine fields. cousin. we moved in with a detachment of tanks and did our job. so it was in your little law in de leon. we were tasked with reconnaissance to find any explosives along the path ahead. along the road we identified an area 20 meters long, that had been raked with 400 kilograms of explosives and set to blow. dennis and

vladimir were among the 1st to cross the border and the fire they said to it, aided by this machine, a u. r. 77 meteor, right? the star of the shoe. once it position, made fun of 100 meter long mine clearing charge, packed with explosives to set off any minds in the way. carrying a passage for armoured vehicles appeared in well as the ledger. it was harder than you're in training. it was dark. that was fog. there was so much shooting. we felt our vehicles warble at times from the force of it all. it all happened so quickly like like they thought it was a huge responsibility. you have to do everything in a minute. it's hard to put into words, all the pressure and adrenalin. everything depended on their success. that they failed. ukrainian troops would have had time to set off

a multitude of explosive devices that they had laid over the years. 50000 for her, for his daughter with a difference with training as you can't fail in real combat, you have to get the job done. you have to use everything. you have learned everything you now to that's very failure as not an option. it went off without a hitch. mine fields were dissected, destination wise cut and miles of trenches overrun. next came the comparatively easy path along with military cso clearing the way i got the vehicle barricades coin various foods. if occasion. these trenches and bunkers held a drove a valuable information, orders, dispositions, and indications of ukraine's plans of his time there. presumably

we have strong evidence that ukraine was planning inoffensive on crimea. we learned this when we captured their minefield maps, which showed where they had cleared paths for their military forces, the new look what we saw ourselves had passed through the mine fields had been cleared. these maps, combined with intelligence collected in the east, lend credence to russia's claims that ukraine was poised to attack. it will likely take years to learn the truth. once the bull propaganda dies down, perhaps by then, these engineers and sappers will have finally made this land habitable for humans. once again, more i'd gas div from have san province. ukraine. ah, sky high energy prices have played europe for the past number of months, and not sanctions against russia fueling further discontent by propelling those cost to at never before seen levels. and thus lead to social unrest including in

spain. in the ton of i am monte near the border with portugal. large slides of smoke have blocked a highway. now, after a run, 40 fishermen set fire to a barricade of tires to protest the spiraling course of fuel spain. as a whole has been gripped by demonstrations by various trade unions protest by truck drivers. drawing the most attention in an effort to address the problem, the government has offered truckers and rebates on one time cash payment. but the group behind the post says rejected the overture and valid to keep our protest food indefinitely. i just assumed this is well video, allegedly returning a supermarket in the german city of stuttgart, essentially like cooking all past and flower all missing from the shelves. the country is experiencing a shortage of goods amid the ongoing conflict in ukraine that the war already having made itself felt in the price of certain products to economists say

uncertainty in the market is likely to continue with the situation said to worsen in the coming weeks a month the greek prime minister, meanwhile, has admitted that the huge, unprecedented sanctions against russia quote, do bite referring to icing energy course. he warned that the you should be careful not to let the measures damage europe more than moscow. that's as traditionally neutral countries, such as switzerland have also to the use line the russian sanctions, european. the 1st specialist be john thomas. ali is convinced that the sanctions are causing irreparable damage to the continents economy. i don't 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 forced by the american to do justice. they say you're the shooting. it's 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. i call would cost is that and the suffering. it's certainly 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 up the fashion for much longer before we will see lasting and permanent damage. to the foundation of the european economy loc, the europeans afford to pay and roubles, there is last thing the my for this currency. and this precipitates and move away from the dollar at the blow. currency of freight and current hunter biden. and his abandon laptop are once again in the headlines. emails obtained by media outlets from dumbing cache files suggest that the american president, some may have helped finance. on the ledge,

u. s. military bio weapons research program in ukraine. russian officials had previously commented on the issue r u. s. correspondent can expand on the significance of the findings. we understand that there is an email that was obtained from hunter biden's laptop showing that the firm he worked with rosemont, seneca, and it contracted and apparently worked with the company of met the bio to, to set up these labs, these controversial labs. this is what is from an email that was obtained from hunter biden's laptop. as promised, i've prepared the attached memo, which provides an overview of metabolic, our engagement in ukraine, and how we can potentially leverage our team. net blacks and concepts to a said, ukraine's cultural and economic independence from russia and continued integration into western society. now the response of us leaders so far has been limited

regarding the issue of the bio lab. so we have some mainstream media voices coming up and insisting, well, these are not military facilities, but then the question remain, why is the pentagon a military entity if ever, heavily involved in setting them up? and why did victoria newland the u. s. under secretary of state, express concern about russia getting its hands on these bio labs, if indeed they serve no military purpose. what would be the danger of russia getting his hands on them? and so now we find out that this other story that they dismissed was widely ignored and shut down and silenced by us media and social media about hunter biden's laptop is also tied in with these labs. and that the president's son was involved in financing and setting them up with rosemont, seneca, his firm, and met the bio to the company. so this all points to us leaders being involved in all kinds of nefarious activities in ukraine. and when asked about it,

simply shutting down the discussion and say, oh, that can't be true because russia said it, because russia said it, you can't believe it. if anyone in russia says that it's therefore false, because russia that they have no response here. i mean, this is quite a moment in the united states that where we find out about this. and it really raises a lot of questions about how carefully the discourse in the united states is being controlled and how that appears the by did ministration has been shielded from legitimate criticism. and the same for u. s. foreign policy. that when it comes to the issue of ukraine, media is just expected to march in locked lock step. so these revelation these emails that have come out from 100 by laptop related to these bio lab than ukraine . this is a quite a big deal and to see us, mainstream media just scrambled, continue trying to sweep this a sweepers under the rug is quite a big moment. quite a big revelation about the nature of discourse in the united states. ah, after a year is of criticizing new 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 that broadcaster interviewed a ukrainian soldier who had a nazi symbol clearly visible on his uniform b, a. cd determination and a little help from western weaponry of this thought. but it will not tells us we have to move to the global model so. so the patch on the soldiers arm is the symbol of nazi germany. s s division, known as deaths head. the division was formed by concentration camp guards of the start of the 2nd world war. it was known for the mass murder of war prisoners, including close to a 100 british soldiers captured in france in 1940 no mention of any of that was made during the interview. contrast out to reports in previous years. in 2014 the b b. c reported on the role of new nazis in the crew and ukraine. 2 years before that, that channel made a documentary centered on racism and anti semitism in ukrainian as well as polish

football stadiums that came ahead of the euro. 2012 jumping ships held in the 2 countries and showed new now c gestures being made ukrainian stadiums. well, editor of the greys own news site max bloom and tell say it's particularly important to report on the issue of extremism in the conflict us. it's the west to supply ukraine with weapons. as i just revealed at the gray 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 a 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. ah, no, it's no secret that western media that's clearly don't agree with president putin's

claim that one of the main reasons behind the ukraine conflict was to dean not suffice the country. they say it's absurd since presidents zalinski is jewish, but they may have forgotten that one of ukraine's main jewish community leaders in core column whiskey is also a sponsor of armed new nazi malicious, telling us more of a thought ortiz policy. susan says he wants to de notify ukraine, but the west claims this is a false flag because western officials say, how do you d not if i a country who's president is jewish. when you hear vladimir fulton talk about the ukrainian government as being full of neo nazis as somebody who is of jewish to sandra, a 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 it,

so i cannot take this segment seriously. what if i told you that one of the leaders of ukraine's jewish community it go column whiskey is a major supporter of these guys? ah, the only golf is one of the 3 richest people in ukraine. a media mogul who owns the countries main tv channel, and his profits have directly funded and armed in near nazi militia. we actually take care of many battalions. this is both knee per one and don bass. we are helping a shot tours. 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 colon my skis pocket army more to focus anthem 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 isis style war crimes. ah ah, the militia later became part of ukraine's armed forces, while column whiskey redirected his enormous wealth and influence to support no other and brought amuse zalinski 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 filling skins 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 be nice to find ukraine. perhaps waste and officials would be better not to point the finger at its jewish citizens. united nations secretary general antonio, good terrorists have pleaded for both sides to embark on a cease fire in ukraine, calling rushes military operation, both sound absurd on unwinnable war. russia, however, say's its objectives have always been clear with more in the background to the conflict on russia stones. here's our team, racial blevins. the chief of the united nations is calling on russia and what he

referred to as the absurd war in 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 no, and give peace a chance if these 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 cranium government's response was to go to war with the republics. and even when the misc agreement of 2015 promised both the cease fire

and t as the recognition of the regions autonomy, it was never fully implement it. in fact, when russian president vladimir putin announced the launch of a military offensive after moving to recognize the independence of the republics and the dog bass region. he noted that the conflict was pushed to this point because of ukraine's refusal to recognize the 2015 accord. i mean ski the minsk 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 council thirties 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 causes 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 over nato forces even an inch to the east while russia has repeatedly voice concerns. the expansion of nato up to its own border, would put moscow in a direct conflict with the entire a lion. 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 as the u. s. has made no guarantee. i do not believe that a debate about nato should be reduced to a debate about russia. russia would also like us to make absolute commitments in the charter above the deployment of nuclear and conventional forces of the territory of new members. but we will not compromise on this issue. as for the claim that the current war is militarily nonsensical, or russian made its demands clear since day one. that is goals are to demilitarized

into d, not the by ukraine. but this week, us day departments, the person ned prize admitted that the u. s. has actively discouraging the ukranian government for making any concessions in his talk with russia, therefore, prolonging the war. the vitamin ministration is also fueling the complex signing off on his door, $13600000000.00 in funding for ukraine, nearly half of which is aimed at supporting the ukrainian military. u. s. army dealers rate in the money russian officials have been quick to note just who is profiting off of the continuation of the 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 $14000.00 people have lost

their lives. 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 k. want to bring you this before we go. tensions are spiraling between armenia and alger by john in the dispute territory of nagondo kind of back which lies between the 2 caucuses nations. the russian defense ministry said that on thursday and friday, also by johnny forces entered on area patrol by russian peacekeepers shooting for missiles out caught up back armed forces. the ministry says the intrusion is

a violation of a 2020 agreement between armenia, observation on russia. now the 2 countries for the 6 week war in that year, over the long contested enclave in which thousands lost their lives. 247 use from the russian capital. this is our t stay with us for more program starting in moments. hello to you again soon. ah ah ah.
