correspondent morale ghost is in cities and towns across ukraine, liberated during the russian special operation here in the country. life is gradually returning to normal. this is the city of military people. we why here, just scant days off, the ukrainian troops had abandoned that when blown up tags was still in the streets . the city was empty, every one was in their homes, in mean basements in shelters, waiting and fearing what would happen next. now that 23 weeks have passed, things a much calm people, once again, house in the streets, many shops are open and the fear, the fear has dissipated. confident that the worst is over, people have begun to open up. they are no longer afraid that ukraine security services will nationalists, will come knocking on their door if they say something that government doesn't like

. traditionally. yeah, yeah. my yes, there i support one vladimir couldn't said d, not suffocation and demilitarization from so that no one would carry weapon in the country would be neutral or no, nazis would be around. this. everything has become peaceful here. russian forces did not kill anyone who was white, the opposite lay particular union. yet of doing what am i don't believe the information might crane crazy. thanks. and massachusetts, a sand you. i don't want to marry the natalie. it's my tennessee t. and i'm ok with that, give it to my children, live in russia. i'm alone happily there war. and even though i seen at emerson is normal. my. the city now has a new mayor who presides over a joint military civilian administration. she's well aware of the challenges ahead, but he's confident, confident that mellow to bull can overcome the hurdles that keith has said. zalinski is government has cut off millions of its own citizens in areas liberated

by russia, depriving them of wages, access to national records, and even the ability to register new borns to shuffle. la 30 has stopped and now we cannot. ranches to marriage is the bass of children property for one simple reason . the korean government has centrally disabled old databases on a command from the center. the banks withdrew the money supply from head us. this led to shortage of cash come festival employees of the civil service and pension and suffer when there was still a man from the pur. shanker solidarity party. here they turned off the electricity in the city that led to linton joking. this is identical to what key of did to the don bass sparking a colossal humanitarian crisis prompt in russia. the said aid medicines and even pensions to the region identical. but for the shelling and attacks, now ukrainian troops are being driven back in russia. national guardsman are

helping to keep all the while those again, there's levels almost the fennel character we are often approached with social questions. are you we help in any way? we can, we pass the request of civilians to the local administration unless at the hand over ammunition to ask for a reward. we returned cars to residents that were taken away by the militia, created by the ukrainian authorities. as it retreated, the ukrainian military left behind a vast quantity of weapons. aside from all the gods that handed out the civilians, those arms are now being collected handed involuntarily by people in liberated areas. because the mushroom up with voters, whatever a man try to hide this machine, gun ammunition belt in the cemetery. i saw this and brought it to the common dance office because it is dangerous for children and civilians. this fully loaded machine gun belt is far from the biggest hole that's been brought in. people have brought in all sorts of weapons including pistols, assault rifles, machine guns,

grenade launchers, with all sorts of ammunition. certainly people bring this in for, for different reasons. some for a cash reward, others out of a sense of duty. the other task handled by russian national guardsmen and local volunteers, is maddening. checkpoints, infiltration, saboteurs, and weapons. smugglers are a serious threat. this is one of the checkpoints outside the city of multiple where russia national guardsman ah, at a checkpoint, outside the city. this is the road leading to mario book. every single car is checked and the luggage, the boot is also checked by russian trooper for weapons or any private items. this direction is especially important. as i mentioned, it leads to the city of mario book and over the past few weeks, hundreds of ukrainian nationalists as well as soldiers. among them near nazis have attempted to flee from the city of mary opa disguised as refugees. there are

multitude of these checkpoints wrong along the roads. at very few nationalists now make it out without being caught during screening a sub renewable share melody. we pay special attention to people because under the guise of civilians fighters from the ukrainian armed forces or neo nazis, trying to drive through. we check people's documents because they have been cases when neo nazi tried to leave a war zone under the guise of a family. many residents treat the checks with understanding support us. thank us of you them. undoubtedly, things will to return to normal and pill. this conflict reaches its conclusion and power is handed over entirely to civilians. when that will happen, he's so far unclear, but in the meantime, a little pulls new governor. he's determined to keep her city alive and strong in these troubled times. eugene against the little sto, would lose people hunted,

everything will be better, they believe in it. they associate these expectations with me is unfair to disappoint people and have that i will meet their expectations easterly 8th of dice or something more ad gazda of r t, for military people. you crave on perhaps some hope, a head, the head of the russian delegation. after ukraine talks, vladimir mid din sky has announced the next round of negotiations will take place on tuesday and wednesday they will meet face to face again in turkey. the 2nd meeting in the country between officials from here and moscow. ok, let's say a ticket to don bass. another village there has recently come under the control of they've done yet. people's republic forces. many houses were left damaged by pitched raffles in. the area footage also shows halls have not see inspired literature that had been stored in the local school library and was abandoned by

ukrainian militants as they retreated. while an italian journalist, whose reporting from the ground and on boss has recorded video message to his country's president in the online post, he accuses western media distorting it's coverage of the conflict. in particular when it comes to the role of ukrainian new nazi battalions. middle gentle given to them is your next bar. i see people on tv talking about modernity, about morality, and they say that putin as a criminal putin is a criminal them we are 10 times worse. these days we are marking the anniversary of the destruction of bel grade. tons of bombs were thrown at the city based on fake news. you can also remember iraq, syria, libya, afghanistan. but if you remind them of all this, they will not want to hear about it. i stop random people in interview them. they will tell me they were locked in their basement and couldn't get out. many say they shot at them to keep them from leaving. by they, they mean the neo nazi battalions. and then i say on the washington post that these

militants read works by count. yet i went to the form of basis, whether on nazi symbols, i saw books about ss gods about miscellany. them we'll told about the nationalist organizations in italy while here we see the real nazis holding the whole state hostage above the door. and a group of foreign journalists also had the chance to visit a village in luke ganske republic, which was taken under the control of people's forces around a month ago. with locals now receiving humanitarian aid delivered by russian troops . one german reporter described his emotions on arrival. would you like ah, storm to fit us? she knew better by read my feel surprised that this is a place that endured fighting and you normally expect people to be outraged about this nevada, but it's vice versa here. people are welcoming the russian troops, if they are glad they have come, every one is talking about the horrors of the last 8 years if it causes strong emotions. yeah. in that some didn't. what's in the california tough?

so omni denette people's for public information ministry has released video, allegedly showing ukrainian forces shooting and beating russian prisoners of war. the head of russia's investigative committee has ordered an investigation into the incident just to point out where we won't show the disturbing video for ethical reasons. as it betrays bone soldiers lying on the ground with multiple bullet wounds to their legs, while others have broken bones the as yet on verified content has caused outreach on social media and has been commented on by ukrainian officials, different brochures and all about that. so i remind everyone that abusing prisoners of war is a war crime that does not carry amnesty under international law and does not have an institute of limitations. we are a european army over european country. we treat prisoners according to the geneva convention, no matter what your personal emotional motives may be. convince ukrainian soldiers shoot to russian prisoners of war and the legs and filmed themselves doing it.

video below shows about 6 other russian soldiers with similar wounds. without question, it's a war crime, and there is nothing to justify it. if war crimes don't disturb you, because they're against russians, think about how the soldiers who are willing to shoot unarmed prisoners might be willing to treat ukrainian civilians. ah, the use foreign policy chief has wound up the ukrainian conflict, could push russia closer to china, which could then lead to a rift between the global south east and northwest use upper l. now that the only way to stop that happening is by ramping up efforts to end the war quote. today, turn on the bad consequences of what's happening is that we can push russia to china. and we can create a division between what we can say, this se, the global se, and the global northwest. and we have to avoid these trend. and in order to avoid

this trend, the 1st thing to do is to stop this war of aggression. war of attrition today and as well, we are going to support the grain also by military means without escalation, without our orders on dollar vertical escalation that could bring, bring to her beek, a conflict, and tried to put pressure in russia by all our capacities. you know, that will make to pay the price of it. ortiz kill of my been has been taking a look at the global ramifications of the conflict in ukraine and sanctions on russia. i, you my saying that the russia, ukraine conflict is just between 2 countries, but in reality it's got global implications. there are currently around $10000.00 nato servicemen stationed at military facilities and naval bases in ukraine of which $4000.00 or from the united states,

u. s. military and cia personnel had been training forces in ukraine for a long time. meanwhile, britain just decided to send 6000 new defensive missiles as well as 25000000 pounds sterling and aid. plus there's been an inflow with international volunteers with dr. count and who can forget the economic fallout? the sanctions on russia are already taking their toll throughout the european union . sanctions should always have a much larger effect on the russian side. done on our side. it's not our intention to impose sanctions, the unnecessarily weaken our economy. but we are entering an unprecedented foot crisis because other countries in the middle east or africa are very dependent on

products from ukraine and russia to feed their population. the pandemic already saw an increase in malnutrition throughout africa. but now the new sanctions on russia are making things worse. russian fertilizer exports have been affected and the price of food and fuel is rising. the escalating ukraine crises has been a be, has a dental big bill to the east africa crisis at the moment. it has sent prices. oh, key communities such as agree, patella's that always kind of broke. it takes really impacting, especially the poorest and most vulnerable and who are struggling with affording that the united nations is already speaking up about this, getting people out including to leaving hell. and the reverberations being felt worldwide. the skyrocketing full of energy and fertilizer prices. so happening to speedo into a global hunger prices, oil traders are now predicting that the price of petroleum could go up to $200.00

per barrel. by the end of 2022. around the world, many observers have got to be asking themselves, is sticking it to russia really worth all of this? the impact of these global events could be quite hard to undo. caleb martin r t new york. earlier joseph gregory mahoney, a professor of politics and international relations discussed with us the prospects of greater relations between moscow on painting. well, let's keep in mind that the strengthening of relations between china and russia have 3 fundamental causes. first lead us destabilize central asia and russia and china had to work together to try to clean up the mess. second, the u. s. d stabilize the middle east, pushing china closer to russian oil. and 3rd, the 2 countries share a long border and need peaceful relations with each other. now there are other reasons for the country to be friends, but these 3 points are shared strategic interests that do appear to be deepening.

as the u. s. takes a harder line against both countries, but europe has a major concern here because it's resisted us, antique china positions in many respects. and it's got a lot at stake in terms of trade with china. now obviously the u. s. would like to change that and the european to pursue a fearful that all of this will drive a wedge between them and china as well. oh, the long term. i think we'll continue to see cooperation through groups like bricks, the shanghai cooperation organization, my caea trilateral strengthening of relations between russia, china and india. and we might see military cooperation expanding after the dust settles and ukraine are linked to the sky high energy prices of play, europe for the past few months. and now sanctions against russia fueling further discontent by propelling at those close to never before seen levels. and thus led to frustration in many countries, including spain. the

dozens of laurise on cement mixtures have occupied highways around the spanish capital. an improvised march that started as athletic madrid's football stadium was held to sloop traffic and full attention to drastically rising food and fuel prices . elsewhere in spain, highway leading to portugal was blocked. when fishermen, in terms of monte set fire to a wall of tires to protest, aspire, the course of fuel, the country hose being gripped by demonstration stage by the various trade unions. in an effort to address the problem, the government offered truckers, or rebates and one time cash of the group on the protesters rejected the offer on valve to keep up protest, put in death ranking fuel and energy prices, as well as overall living cost. we ignited the yellow best protest movement of next

month. presidential election. protesters have accused candidates of feeling to understand their concern. let's take a grease where after weeks of protesting the price of fuel, people are now faced with another consequence of the sanctions against russia and shelves. supermarket chains across the country have a nice the restriction on flower and sunflower, oil seals. those viewers grow of a reduction in supplies due to the ongoing conflict in ukraine. grease imports by 30 percent of its weight from russia and ukraine on to the us. some drivers are crossing international borders to buy petrol as prices keep rising on the back of sanctions against rational san diego residents are seen here in mexico's western most city of t. a wanna on saturday, filling up their cars. tanks, petrol prices. there are only $2.00 lower per gallon than in california.

well, among those e, you states that disagree with the blocks harsh line on russia is hungry, which has rejected calls to ban rushing gas to take sides and the conflict despite please, from ukraine's president was hungary. i want to stop here and the honor once and for all. you have to decide for yourself who you are with. the answer to the question of which site hungry is on is that hungary is on hungary side. neighboring poland has worn the such policies will cost hungry and the future. budapest, though, is pointed out in imports, more than half of its oil and gas from russia and sanctions and russian energy would mean not. the hungarian economy would be severely impacted. political commentator anthony webber believes more countries are starting to give sanctions on moscow are actually counter productive for them. we're not looking at just,

you know, 2 or 3 percent interest increase in the cost of living. we're talking about massive increases and we need to look at say, the u. k. recently, where a watson thought why that we could buy actual a one pound chain leisure. and he's now about one c plus elisa, even with the chance for reducing to us by pencil asia, which is a batch of the man made no difference at all. but this is the interesting thing because if you look a lot shopping with the u. k. spread budget, the government's been able to do, but she's not going to help alleviate her costs or living crisis in the k. and then i'm out of the see the small was to come. we just the check that the iceberg now.

so you the yes they will be countries who will sought to look at their an interest. well, the ukrainian crisis has highlighted the u. k is heavy reliance on russian diesel imports. and while the u. k has recently been changed, emphasizes move away from russian gas dependents on moscow for diesel has had fewer mentions, according to official british government figures in 2020 at london imported most of its diesel from russia, leaving other large suppliers, the netherlands on saudi arabia trailing demand for russian fuel often has been on the rise since 2010 with supplies increasing by almost 8 percent that says u. k. domestic production of diesel fell over the same time period. the u. k. bond oil and gas from rush in response to the countries operation in ukraine with imports at the stop by the end of 2022. but london has been struggling to find

substitute suppliers. boris johnson recently held talks with gulf states the u. v. and so the rapier whose human rights records have repeatedly made headlines while amid severe condemnation among the western community to russia's actions in ukraine officials from the middle east point. so at the apartment, disproportionate level of attention to different crises around the world, the humanitarian suffering that we have seen in the ukraine. and everyone is talking about it. i know it has been the suffering gopher. lots of countries in this region. 40 years we have never seen a global response to either us nor sufferings. i hope those are all so would it be a wake up call for every one and then to the national community to look at our region. and toward that us are these shows that's happening in our region with the same level of commitment that we have seen between russia and ukraine. commissioner r l mentioned that the mario poll is europe's i'll epo. well,

epo was our aleppo fully who, who was bonding a label, not due to a piano, but the engagement of the global community. the engagement of if, if, how's that could be effective now and then is quite different. when those accusations of double standards come as western countries sick to reduce reliance on russian energy with washington turning to the middle east to meet gaps in oil supply. as we mentioned, it's also been reported. washington transferred a large number of anti missile interceptors to saudi arabia. in recent weeks is despite the humanitarian catastrophe in yemen, the result of a 7 year war in the country between the saudi led coalition and hootie rebel groups . always ins i'll be emanates, filled, the streets of the war torn countries capital on saturday. mark the anniversary of the conflict done voice their anger. the lead military campaign in the country are t correspondent reachable evidence has been delving into why the monetary and

crisis indian received soon with international attention. while the binding ministration imposes unprecedented sanctions on russia. claiming concern for the fate of civilians in ukraine, that concern appears to be non existent for civilians in yemen as the devastating war and their country enters is a year instead of another thing thing. they get saudi arabia over israel and the conflict that has resulted in the worst humanitarian crisis in the world fight and is doing the opposite. he's working the gain back. saudi arabia's favor amid anees, that any disruption and the kingdoms oil of why to the u. s. could be devastating, as washington moves to ban all energy imports from russia. but even though the war and ukraine has received more attention on social media in just one month than the war in yemen has received in 7 years just how bad is the crisis? well, it's estimated that nearly 400000 people have died more than 15600000 people currently

live in extreme poverty as milling in space, hunger, and starvation. and now the united nations is predicting that more than 1300000 people will have died as a result of this war by 2030. and that nearly 70 percent of those just will be children. under the age of 5, we're 1000000000 short failure to provide this year a few extra $1000000000.00 means you're going to have famine destabilization and mass migration. yeah, the grilling crisis and yelling over the last 7 years, hans out the u. s. from providing support for the saudi led coalition, with the buying administration, reportedly moving to approving new batch of patriot interceptors this week after previously denying the saudi's request last year seawall. the u. s. may claim it is concern for civilians in ukraine and is also concerned about the stability of the energy market. as it works, you shut out rushes contributions to the global supply. that means that bite is now working overtime to maintain labor with saudi arabia. as the king them sides with

russia on production plans and even considers accepting payments using the chinese you are. as a result, the saudi crown prince knows exactly how many courtesy holds here and has said he doesn't care if i didn't understand the saudi. simply, i do not care. it's up to him to think about the interests of america. however, biden does care. that's why he appears to be carrying on the longstanding u. s. tradition of ignoring both the crisis in yemen and reports of human rights abuses and saudi arabia in order to maintain access to saudi oil with bins on saudi money and saudi purchases of armaments for war and elsewhere. so it does not want to consolidate too much. on the one hand, the thought is on the other. and along with the united arab emirates, they see some ability to assert some sort of autonomy. quote with

the decisions that there are states made in regard to the us. so that is why. 1 the so eager to just get on the bandwagon, criticizing russia for its actions and following the u. s. and last and that's where the r t news team that says good bye for now. but don't go too far . as our programs are only starting see bought a showing in moment ah ah.
