i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time to sit down and talk with ukraine says by people have been injured on a fuel dep always on fire in the western ukrainian city of evolve falling in a parent's russian missile strike defusing the danger russian troops tucker, scores of minds, apparently left behind by ukrainian forces on the follow the military engineering unit as it clears one region. along with this one various foods and a new twist in the ukraine. bio labs. revelation is the russian claim about the

involvement of the u. s. president thong may now be supported by males obtain from a laptop. they allege home to biden health raised funds of biological research in ukraine for an american company with coming to alive from our headquarters. here in moscow, you're watching artsy international. just on 4 am on sunday morning here in the russian capital. mine is peter scott and thank you for joining us with 1st, we'll start off with the major developments in the ukranian conflict. rushes ministry defense claims that 67 foreign vessels from 15 countries and now stock in ukraine, southern port due to high risk of mines and phase of shelling. moscow rejects claims, it's hindering civil navigation in the black sea and blames kiev. russia is also one that floating minds my tweet for mania and for days if the weather in the

northern black sea gets worse. meanwhile, as the humanitarian situation remains dive in, some ukrainian regions more than 19000 people have reportedly been evacuate with russia on saturday. with more than 4000 coming from the devastated city of multiple air raid sirens have been founding with plumes of smoke rising over the western ukrainian city of evolve on saturday. the local authorities claim is the result of 3 explosions. falling russian air strikes on the city that the report to the left 5 people injured and that the fuel, dep, or defense facility on fire, no residential buildings. the thoughts were being damaged, rushes yet to comment on that incident. meanwhile, in ukraine's capital officials have reversed the decision to introduce a longer curfew. it comes as a spokesperson for the country's defense ministry, says russian troops have been pushed more than 30 kilometers away from tiff. earlier this week, russia reported it surrounded ukraine's capital. and this drone footage shows

shattered buildings in mouth. you pull, many of them have been heavily damaged by bombs, rockets, shelling and gunfire is now being claimed that russian forces, if they can control over at city hall. meanwhile, russian engine is a continual de mining operations in ukraine, southern hefts, on region. here you can see a russian soldier making safe what appears to be an improvised explosive device filled with metal shots. the roadside are seized, rud gasdio followed a military engineering units in their high risk endeavor to clear regions of the hidden danger. along these trenches were little outposts like this, where ukrainian troops lived concerned for years near the border with crimea booth troops the that weren't caught, that managed to escape left. everything behind many were captured and taken

prisoner by russian forces. it was engineering brigades that moved him 1st to de 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 rush had 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 tortora late. on the 24th of february, we were tasked with clearing the route through enemy mine fields, cousins. we moved in with the 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 under fire. they said to it, aided by this machine, a u. r. 77 meteor, right. the star of the shoe and said position made fun of 100 meter long mind clearing charge, packed with explosives to set off any minds in the way. carrying a passage for armoured vehicles appeared and where was the dodger? it was harder than during training. it was dark that was for there was so much shooting. we felt our vehicle warble at times from the force of it all. it all happened so quickly like like thing. um, 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. also. everything depended on their success. they failed. ukrainian troops would have had time to set off a multitude of explosive devices that they had laid over the years frozen 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 the failure has not an option to come and it, 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 clear the way i got the vehicle barricades in various foods cases. 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 and offensive 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 war propaganda dies down, perhaps by then, these engineers and sappers will have finally made this land habitable for humans. once again, more at gaz, give from his san province, ukraine. to catch all thought to have reopened the bathrooms to ships. after diffusing a mine which drifted through the straits, one of the mines, which were a claims was planted by the ukrainian military, drifted across the blacks the and in open system. both of restraints. ukraine

denies the claims and this video taken from social media, you can see a boat approaching it. so if you saw 30, say the mine was diffuse with as a precautionary measure, fishing has been bonded at nights in the busy waterway. earlier russia claimed around 10 mines, drifted away from a desk, a chalk of under the nearby port. the mines were said to be produced in the 1st half of the 20th century. turkey shed, black sea borders with both russia and ukraine. let's now cross live to editor of the defense and foreign affairs journal gregory call. please gregory. welcome to artsy, international. thanks for joining. so the boss, which is obviously one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. just how much of a threat would a mind like this pose? well, you have to bear in mind that in 984, libya dropped 3 c mines into the red sea. and that basically cut off maritime traffic through the red sea suez canal sea line for many,

many months until those mines are accounted for. ships had to be re routed around the. ready ready good hope at great expense and of course see traffic coming out of the black sea into. ready out of the backseat doesn't have the option of another route. so basically, insurance companies will, over the coming years be very, very skeptical about ensuring vessels coming into. ready out of the black sea because of this mine threat. and of course, we say that the ukraine government has a greater vested interest in the short term in making mining the entrances to its major. ready hobbs particularly odessa and almost certainly mary appalling to see him to ensure that russia cons stage the necessary military actions to seize those cities. and i would be very surprised in reality, ukraine had not deployed very, very advanced mind systems. c, bad and,

and, and good mind around those destinations, which would basically be there to deter, i, soviet, i sorry, a russian amphibious operation against the ports. there is a quiet home and mines they let loose from the morning and drift off. well, these are very old mindset to be seen so far, and so it's not surprising that some of them would have come adrift if that doesn't, is not a problem for ukraine as well, because it serves to give notice to russia and also to the international shipping community that they cannot, with any ease, move vessels through the black say, and russia will for years to come. have to devote, are really consistent mind countermeasures, vessels, and operations in c as all,

and the black. so you to make sure that the sea lanes are going to be safe in the future because these old mines and even the new ones could be used to pay an ongoing threat to commercial shipping. and even thought that in lights of that threat would also vigilance, given the chances of mine's drift and against the boss for us, there's that question jackie is already doing that. and the fact that they were so quick to respond to the initial report. the 1st mine coming ashore in turkish, what is it was, you know, they, they understand it. and by the way, it doesn't hurt you either as a, quote, native member to publicize this. and to publicize the lack of security in the black, say to russian shipping. and particularly russian naval shipping at this time, well, given that publicity and the fact that these mines appeared to be washing up on the shores, how do you think the attitude of turkish civilians will change to this one ukraine

now? well, what we've been seeing among turkish commentators and i was just in a stumble a couple of days ago, is that they are more matter of fact about the ukraine. russia situation at the moment than for example, most western europeans and even swedes and opinions. and so on, who becoming almost hysterical about the potential for future conflict with russia . turkey, on the other hand, is trying to play down this threat, knowing that it has to live with both russia and nato into the future. well, gregory company, it's of defense and foreign affairs general. thank you very much for your expertise with us today. oh, nazi. thank you. and you are joe biden, this week visiting poland for talks with the countries presidents about ukraine crisis. he then headed to its eastern borders to meet nato troops before delivering

a speech to the polish people on saturday. for we emerged, you know, in the great battle for freedom, the bible between democracy, talkers, for god's sake, this man cannot remain power. you, the russian people are not our enemy. that's true, by the way, takes about $200.00 rubles april, $1.00. though biden's comments on the collapse of the russian rouble don't currently play out with its value it's, it's been gaining loss ground of late. meanwhile, the white house scrambled to explain some of his other remarks exclaimed, he'd not cold for regime change in russia, despite by the stating by the mere putin cannot remain in power. early on saturday, president joe biden raised more than a few eyebrows with his choice of words, as he thought the conference ukrainian refugees in poland. thus, after he referred to by the mid putin as a quote, butcher, what were the,

what is it? i mean, you see this in your, you know, your dealing everyday was let me put when you look at what he's done to these people, what does it make you think? he's a butcher? the cramming spokesman dmitri gas, golf said such insults, reduce the chance of any restoration of relations or in the us leader must remain sober. the also questioned biden's stuns, considering heat cold. in the past for the bombing of yugoslavia, i would suggest we bomb belgrade. i was suggesting that we send american pilots in and blow up all the bridges on the drain. i would suggesting we take out his oil supplies. nato's bombing of the former yugoslavia was the 1st time the alliance had launched military action with no agreement from the united nations security council . it left at least $1200.00 civilians debt. according to the un investigative journalist rick sterling says the president, but to remarks about putin highlights

a rapid declining diplomacy, very hypocritical, per joe biden. to be saying that the fact that biden is making those statements shows. in general, it shows the decline in and diplomacy, as well as other aspects of the united states. what we, what we see is the united states being extremely hypocritical. and in the case of russia, it's got a next door neighbor, ukraine, that there is a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that ukraine was increasingly being used as a tool, as a proxy for nato and, and a genuine threat to, to russia. there's been a new twist in the claims about ukrainian bio labs. emails obtained by the media apparently suggest us presidents, son, hunter biden, may have helped finance an alleged u. s. military by a weapons research program in ukraine. washington,

his self denies such activity. the males potentially support earlier rushing claims on hunter barton's involvement, which western media were quick to dismiss. ortiz kill him open, explains. we understand that there is an email that was obtained from hunter biden's laptop, showing that the firm he worked with a 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, 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 saying,

oh that can't be true because russia said it, because russia that it, you can't believe it. if anyone in russia says that it's therefore false, because russia that they have no response here. this is quite a moment in the united states 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 in 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 lock lock step. so these revelations, these emails that have come out from 100 by laptop related to these bio labs and ukraine. this quite a big deal and to see us mainstream media just scrambled, continue trying to sweep it under the rug is quite a big moment. and quite a big revelation about the nature of discourse in the united states. the way the hunter biden's laptops were greeted was very, very strange. as you may recall, back in october 2020. and as the election was nearing,

these are these laptops became known. and there was a immense effort by social media, the government, the press, et cetera, to shut down, access to these laptops and to discredit goes, reporting on them. so therefore, the contents were never really fully explored. the new times only recently admitted that the, the con, that the, the laptops and their contents were legitimate. we're truly hunter biden's. so i'm only now are the contents coming to light sky high energy prices have played europe for the past few months. now, sanctions against russia fueling further discontent by propelling those costs to never before seen levels, and thus led to anger, boiling over, including in spain. the

dozens of lawyers and the men may have occupied the highways around the spanish capital, madrid, an improvised march. this started at the metropolitan no stadium withheld the slow traffic and draw attention to the drastically rising food and fuel prices across the country. elsewhere in spain, on the town of a month, a highway was blocked by large clouds of smoke. not such around 40 fishermen fights a wall of ties to protest. this firing cost to fuel spain as a whole is being gripped by demonstration, staged by various trade union. an effort to address the problem. the government has off the truck as a rebate and one time cash payment for the group behind the process has rejected the offer and bout, to keep up protests quote, indefinitely and is not only spain whether have been issues. this video shows a supermarket in the german city, stuttgart with essential by cooking oil past and flour or missing from the shelves

. the countries experience in the shortage of goods amid the ongoing conflicts in ukraine, where the war already having made itself felt in the price of certain products. economists say uncertainty in the market, these lives continue with this situation set to worse. and in the coming weeks. the greek prime minister, meanwhile, has admitted that the huge, unprecedented sanctions against russia quote, actually do bites. referring to the rising energy costs, he warned that you should be careful not to let the measures damage europe more than moscow banking and finance. professor richard vernon is the situation with spiraling fuel prices may become even worse since europe serving all of its economic ties with russia as punishment for its war. the energy that europe needs comes to a significant extent from russia. europe has more or less been forced under us pressure to, to should itself, not just in the foot, but maybe amputate

a leg or something. we've now scenery a supply us all these will fuels in austria, in germany, warning that there will be rationally, literally rationing because there won't be enough. it's not just a question of price anymore. it's a question of quantity. there is not going to be enough to blow back is going to be, well, it is already visible and it's significant that is only going to increase in effect the global outrageous rushes offensive in ukraine has seen not just russian culture counselled throughout the world, but a sports as well. a vast majority of russian athletes have been suspended or restricted from key international events, with no exception made even for those standing aside from politics is logan's out today sports battle ground seems to have gained completely new rules. in the 21st century was on just fought on the battlefield, cyber wolfe up information,

even economies. they've all been dragged into dirty politics. and now sport does listen to these words of a renowned sports journalist, at least according to our twitter commenting on the wild fick escape championship. there were no triple axles to be seen, but what a sane women's event this was compared to the crazy trauma there, lympics sigh of relief. no russians caters or judges love it. it was not the skating or spool. well that really made this happen. it was the war and ukraine. the message from smith was clare. we've been trying to get rid of the russians for years. and now finally, we've gotten apparently legitimate reason to do so. but how come and and find too many fans? the international skating union, like the majority of sporting organizations, has imposed a sweeping bound on all russian athletes at the request of the international olympic committee. i know there are no exceptions. you can be the cleanest, most

a political russian ascii out there. but because of your passport, you're triggering so have to go. and it seems the world's on board, russian athletes or individuals like us all full of dreams and fear and courage. but they are also symbols, couldn't representatives of a nation engaged as the aggressor in a heinous war. the list of sports where russians are no longer welcome is a long one. in fact, few sports have stood up for the principle of sport beyond to politics. even tennis, which will allow, were some place to compete, but only as individuals is partly demanding. they renounced the motherland weldon of wand newman, feared of removing the russian trickle from his instagram account. seemed to many a sign that russians would only be welcome if they forgot where they came from. oh forget about them. full stop. take austin's a korean, an 18 year old footballer. less than a year ago for gold all come hailed him, a teenage magician. it then put him in its list of the 50 best young footballers in

the world. and what happened next. his supporter, fee for a new wife is ban of russia from club and international competitions. we do not want to endorse or validate the teams or harriann blaze for we have therefore decided to leave 11th place a vacant a week ago. the representative of the website assured us that football is separate from politics and scott and will be on that list. but they didn't inform us about his removal from that list. it is very strange as a hurry on, went from magician to enemy number one without even having uttered a single wad. but the point is, even if you have said something and expressed a view that many disagree with black cats ground, musta saga crackin, should you be banned? like he was why any american athletes who continued to be patriots on the us invasion of iraq and afghanistan shunned and demonized all over the world? in fact, one else has the sporting wild waited into politics like this. no one should accept

any killings in the world or oppression. we've never been allowed to speak about politics and schools, but all of a sudden now it's allowed. and now that it's a love, i hope that people also look at the oppression everywhere in the world. so now we can talk about ukraine, we can talk about palestine. when did having a different opinion, the come treachery? and when did i become acceptable to ask people to denounce that countries, just that they can continue to walk. and if the plan is to push these athletes into hating the homeland, it really doesn't seem to be walking. ols pull selections have been trampled. the basic principle, the sport is separate from politics, has been trampled. most importantly, 1st of all, i am a patriot of my country and only secondly, i am an athlete. it's pretty clear though sport was supposed to be sacred, a space separate from politics. it no longer is just like it no longer matters if you are a good russian or a bad russian,

your russian. so your pariah. can you think of a more blatant example of discrimination? but it seems we're now living by new rules, which are we some after play by and along with the ukrainian conflict, attentions aspiring again between armenia and as a by john in the disputed territory of nicole and kara back, the russian defense ministry said on thursday and friday, that's as a by johnny forces entered an area patrol by russian peacekeepers shooting for miss on the car back armed forces. the russian ministry says the intrusion is a violation of a 2020 agreement between armenia as a by john and russia. meanwhile, as a by john's defense ministry expressed outrage over the si, fi violation. according to the armenians side, 3000000 soldiers were killed and more than an injured women and children were evacuated from a board, a village in the region. the situation began to escalate 2 weeks ago when problems with the guests applied to the area where reported. a local journalist who's not

far from the concert line. this report in a few days ago, sir, but johnny troops entered the territory of the russian peacekeeping counting, and gardening, caraballo, regent. i'm in the village of car mort, not far from the light of contact. the villagers do not want to leave their houses . there are a dead and injured in the garden car, back regent. now we have a difficult situation. i can't go outdoors for a long time. well, there is no gas, but we expect a peaceful settlement of the conflict. well that's it for now, but we'll be continuing with our coverage of all the latest developments in the war in ukraine in about 30 minutes. my name is peter scotts, and thank you for watching. ah

ah ah ah, the virtually any inpatient recording since becky, unless you only had with us that you ah

welcome to sputnik orbiting the world would me george galloway and me yesterday. when joe biden ludicrously described russia as having its back to the wall in the ukraine, and maybe contemplating an attack using weapons of mass destruction, nobody asked, given the maps exactly how in, what way russia has it back to the wall still less how a w m d incident could possibly get that back away from the wall. that would have been a far too rational question to ask. given the history of american false flag attacks from the gulf of tonkin through that a war on terror, the rational assumption was the gl 1000000000. 1 accused of enemy of that with you intend to do? the inference has clearly been made from washington and nato,

america's foreign legion that such a w n d event would be.
