defense claims it's offensive, and ukraine is going to plan with the main tasks to the 1st phase. succession successfully accomplished. ukraine says it's stalled. the russian advance inflicted heavy losses and for some units into retreats. a comes as both sides have agreed. a new round of talks will take place on tuesday. residents, lensky says territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine will remain the countries priority during the negotiations. i didn't care, doesn't want to drug out the talks with russia. meanwhile, the french presidents has criticized earliest statements by joe biden, who cold of the mit putin a butcher. and manuel micron says it's important to rely on real facts and discuss the situation with the russian president. and now let's break down what's been happening on the ground. and this is voltage from the center of ukraine, 2nd largest city car curve where according to local authorities to districts, was shelled by the russian military overnights,

which is defense. ministry is yet to comment on the claim. thousands of cars of residents have sought shelter in metro stations. meanwhile, this video from the southern city of matthew paul shows a home b dots according to locals belong to fighters of the battalion. they had reported they opened fire at the nearby building before the vehicle was hit by shelling and is fighting for the city. continues ortiz, roman coarser reports from the ground. this is white russian national guard boy marine. so many of our present here. and they're all at the moment, kweisi against the nationalist. i saw battalion through feel or hiding within civilian infrastructure. and in other places i was alone with snipers are mostly sitting by crossroads high rise. buildings militants often change into civilian

clothes. we catch them. i thought it was almost all good. i da has brought many troubles to the people. they fight at this building and said, we'd done this when we were not even in the city yet. local residence coming to i sang, their trip was in their houses and they're afraid to walk. we've been removing them . does my daughter started? most of us know civilians mostly welcome. awesome, thank you for coming and ask why haven't we come before we help each other? we knew them, nation is battalions like as off i continue fighting there are hiding in residential building so they have taken over as golf style, metallurgy out, plans and the are using civilians as a human shield, according to a local residency, is that she is not doubled up was thrust to be honest, and yet there was such a hurry hit neither. the ukrainian tank was 10 next to exit from our shelter. every time we've been trying to get out,

it drove closer and fire detached. really do that. they're still dead. bodies laughed at them, no one removes them, was or so terrify, humanitarian catastrophe. year is said everywhere. people live in basements, without food, or water, or electricity. there are temporary sensors that were set up here for people to receive of food and water. and of course, i spoke to some of the people that decided to stay emeryville during these hard times. you took one couple of them, we all slept in such a cold web basement her old cuff thing. you were l sake here, but we all hope for the battery, which is the house has banned. does know where to go. we live in a basement. the authorities laughed as to the mercy of fate. there's no food, no water, no electricity, no gas. you know, it's a ghost city and we're all gazed tear that the nearest people's republic information ministry has released video,

allegedly showing ukrainian forces shooting and beating russian prisoners of war. that of russia's investigative committee has ordered an investigation into the incident. i won't show you the disturbing video as it portrays bound soldiers lying on the ground with multiple bullet wounds to their legs, while others have broken bones. the as yet on verified footage has cause anger on social media. ukrainian officials meanwhile, gave this comments. there were 2 brochures and about 15 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. ukrainian soldiers shoot to russian prisoners of war and the legs and film 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. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry is given an assessment of the 1st phase of the offensive in ukraine, claiming its main task of being completed is a map with the latest data. according to the ministry, things have been progressing in accordance with the plan, almost the entire area of the guns for public and more than half of done yes republic are under russian control, where some troops have surrounded kiev. kirk of chattanooga of su me. and nikolai of, and most of the raja region, is now under russian control. ukrainian authorities say they've successfully halted the russian advance inflicted heavy losses and push troops back in some areas. a group of foreign journalists has visited a village in the guns republic, which was taken under the control of people's forces around a month ago earlier. and italian journalist whose reporting from the ground in the

dom bus recorded video message to the countries president accusing western media distorting his coverage of the conflicts. in particular, when it comes to the role of ukrainian neo nazi battalions. me sir, dilemma. 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 see on the washington post that these militants read works by count. i went to the former basis where there are nasty symbols. i saw books about ss gods about miscellany than we'll told about the nationalist organizations in italy. while here we see the real nazis holding the whole state hostage. i see people on tv talking about maternity, about morality, and they say that putin as a criminal, that putin is a criminal than we are 10 times worse these days we are mocking 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. what we discussed the current situation. we have one of those independent journalists, thomas roper is visited the region himself and he told us about the reaction of locals. he believes the story of easton ukraine over the past. 8 years remains largely on told in the west. i would agree with italian, call it because i just returned myself 2 hours ago from, from the conflict region and the don bus and in every village where we have been and when they've seen that we are for journalists, they were screaming at us why the western press didn't tell the world about the us war there. and now we see again the same thing to work. didn't see the g s. war. the rest of the media didn't talk about it and now the font is conflict and that, well,

i would not call them hypocritical. i would really call them someone even lying. because what i have seen is just the opposite and i see them our eyes. it's just the opposite of what we are taught in the western media. we have to list already in germany, for example, in 2014, when the country started. the 2nd german tv channel, short soldiers ukraine. so just a moment without commenting it. so no, they're telling us that there are no naps in ukraine. i don't know if this fits and not the ignoring that we have now is in ukraine. and we have people in the new training government, which are absolutely key in the, in the nazi ideology of the western politics and media. well, they try to ignore it. i think it is kind of extremism which we see in the west. meanwhile, our t has been to the southern ukrainian city of many topple, which has been under the control of russian forces for a month. are these rod guys, the sensors, this report in cities and towns. so course you,

great liberated during the russian special operation here in the country. life is gradually returning to normal. this is the city of multiple we why here, just scant days off, the ukrainian troops had abandoned it when blown up tags was still and the streets, the city was empty, every one was in their homes, in mean basements in shelters. 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. publish them. yeah, yeah. my yes there i support one. vladimir couldn't said the notification and demilitarization from so that no one would carry weapons in the country would be neutral or no, nazis would be around union yet of going home. i don't believe the information might crane for you. thanks a message as a sandy i don't want to believe in that it's quite in the city and i'm ok with that

. my children live in russia. i'm alone here. there were in, in, in though i say that everything is normal. 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. the key of his set, zelinski 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 newborns tisha asserting has stopped. and now we cannot. ranches to marriage is the pass of children property for one simple reason . the korean government has centrally disabled old databases under command from the center. the banks withdrew the money supply from head. this led to shortage of cash come festival employees of the civil service and pensioners suffer when there was sell a man from the per shanker solidarity party. here he turned off the electricity in

the city that latterly hinting the joking. this is identical to what he did to the don bass, sparking a colossal humanitarian crisis, prompting russia to send 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 guardsmen are helping to keep order while those are gonna love us on, on the final 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 they hand over ammunition to us for a reward. we return 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. those arms are now being collected handed involuntarily by people in liberated areas. because i'm wishing 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, so ruffles, 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 russia. national guardsmen and local volunteers is manning, checkpoints, infiltration, saboteurs, and weapons. smugglers are a serious threat. this is one of the checkpoints outside the city of malice. opal where rush and national guardsman ah, at a checkpoint outside the city, this is the road leading to mario bull. re single car is checks and the luggage,

the boot, is also checked by russian troops for, 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 mario book disguised as refugees. there are multitude, these checkpoints are wrong along the roads. at very few nationalists now make it out without being caught during screening a sub renewing of regime low. do 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 where 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 you them. in the meantime, a little pals, new governor,

he's determined to keep her city alive and strong in these troubled times, eugene against the little still, little people heard that everything will be better. they believe in it. they associate these expectations with me as an affair to disappoint people, and hope that i will meet their expectations, used the 8th approach dice or something more, i guess, the of r t, from multiple ukraine, mid severe condemnation around the world of russia's aggression in ukraine. officials from the middle east have pointed out the apparent disproportionate level of attention to different crises around the world, the humanitarian suffering events we have seen in the korean. and everyone is talking about. i know it has been the suffering go for lots of countries in this region. 4 years, we have never seen a global response to that us, your sufferings. i hope this also will be a wake up call for everyone in the international community to look at our region

and to address the issues that's happening in our region with the same level of commitment that we have seen between russia and ukraine commission. i've already mentioned that scenario as europe. well, i was our fully who was bonding a label, not due to be, you know, but the engagement of the global community, the engagement of the powers that could be effective now. and then there's quite different with those accusations of double standards comb as western countries seem to sever all ties to rushes energy and start of his income with washington. turn into the middle east to me, gaps in all supplies. it's been reported, washington transferred a large number of anti missile intercepts to saudi arabia in east, in recent weeks. and thus, despite the humanitarian catastrophe in yemen, which is the result of a 7 year war in the country between the saudi led coalition and who to rebel groups . thousands of yemen is filled the streets of the waters on countries capital on saturday to mark the anniversary of the conflict and voiced their anger. we are to

be led military campaign in the country, senior research fellow at the global policy in jude george some. well, he believes the west is using ukraine to put maximum pressure on russia. the west is wild, the exaggerated level of the humanitarian crisis in ukraine for so purposes is wants to maintain its pressure against a russia it wants to school propaganda points against russia. so it is wildly exaggerated. what has been going on. the west is always double standards. everyone here in the west of forgotten about the united states and the united kingdom invasion of iraq is under the impression that no, no, no one else in the world has done anything corporate trade of any trust other than roger america,

just as innocent party the u. s is continuing suppression of countries he sees not towing washington's line. it called india's position on the war, unsatisfactory deli, has so far avoided any direct condemnation of russia's aggression in ukraine and abstain from you and security council votes on the issue. i think we would certainly all acknowledge and agree that when it comes to votes that the un india's position on the current crisis has been unsatisfactory to say the least. but it's also been totally unsurprising. and this, by many countries agreeing to stop purchasing russian oil as part of sanctions. india is not joined the boy called boats instead in talks to by russian oil, albeit that's a huge discount, while also seeking ways to maintain trade relations. india's former ambassador to turkey handles becky's done says new delhi is just trying to look after the interests of its own people in days, not an exception. this is

a rule. what in days doing is actually what most countries are doing. not only in in does neighborhood, but even in latin america, africa, and other continents. when someone said that a stance is unsatisfactory. it's an ad going statement, because, you know, in foreign policy, stands on a particular issue taken by a country. you've never read their view to satisfy the country when the americans and what policies to set aside to the community. know what community when they went and bumped yugoslavia when they destroyed the rock. when did destroy it, libya know they did it in their interests. president biden has backtracked on his comments. the idea putin shouldn't remain in power denying, calling for regime change in russia. that's off the last out said the russian president several times over. it's quotes, war of choice in ukraine. you're dealing every day with what i mean. when you look

at what he's done to these people, what does it make you think he's a butcher? for god's sake, this man cannot remain power. vs foreign ministry denounced the comments and said, such statements put relations on the brink of collapse. the white house claimed biden was merely states in preaching, cannot be allowed to exercise power over russia's neighbors and was not calling for him to be toppled. however, some of america's own allies have questioned the use of language, dusty food. i think that 1st of all we have to be factual and then we have to do everything to prevent the situation from getting out of hand. will not use this kind of language because i'm still talking with president putin because what we want to do collectively, we want to stop the war. the crusher has started in ukraine, that going to war, and without escalation, this is the objective that we have had for a month or more. associate professor of economics, the st. mary's college jack erasmus says, such language makes it impossible to talk something. pres,

the macro understands you oppose her much more to lose economically and who knows how else by a deeper confrontation in the ukraine, the u. s. as far less to lose, but you know what, what this u. s. policy is really about is to dry rush out of europe. what's happening in europe, i think, is that not, not all the european countries are going on with the sanctions. they may say they support them, but when it comes on actually doing it, they may not mccrendon others and know there's not much the game by that. those chronic musicians. there's like, if you sit down negotiations with, with someone i have done many times. if you declare them a war criminal and you declare them or they shouldn't be sitting there, don't expect to get much from the negotiations. and that's exactly what's happening . you know, it's a big diplomatic, mistaken. on the part of buying a macro knows that that wasn't the smart thing, providing the saying or trying,

trying to clear. crippling sanctions designed to inflict maximum punishments on russia for his actions in ukraine has started to bite boats in the opposite direction to feeling people's frustrations throughout the western world. in greece, swear after weeks of protest, sober, surging fuel prices, people are now faced with another consequence of the sanctions against russia and not empty shells. supermarket chains across the country of announced a restriction on the sale of flour and sunflower oil as fish grow of a supply shortage due to the ongoing war. we got reaction on the streets. all prices have gone up, things are messed up. you cannot buy what you want as some shelves are empty. there is no flower on supermarket shelves and the price of it has gone up. i remember a month ago the price of the flower was $0.80 per kilo, and now it costs $1.00 euro 50 and they did not let me buy as much flour as i

wanted. they said i could only buy up to 3 kilos. i had to oils in my basket and they let me buy only one. they said this is the law now. i wonder what kind of love it is going on over in the us. some drivers are actually crossing international borders to buy petrol, as prices keep rising on the back of sanctions against russian oil. from the ag residents. the scene here in mexico's western most city of warner on saturday, filling up the tanks, federal prices that are currently $2.00 lower per gallon than in california. political commentator anthony, where believes you countries will need to brace themselves some more pain caused by the sanctions. the, the, the problem with countries, particularly the you, he deciding to bring about sanctions against russia is the government never thought about the consequences on the u. k. of sanctions. and the same

applies to of the european countries have been box on the sites in the site, of course, paid protests in your opinion, countries. i do think that pressure will start to show on western government should protect because obviously populations can't sustain these very heavy rises and the costs are, sir, i think it's very important to have a complete change of policy and red eyes. such countries see sanction russia and up sanctioning themselves and it is her policy. it leads to say, as far as i can say, while that's it for now. but we'll be continuing with our coverage all the latest developments of the war in ukraine in about 30 minutes. one is b to scott's and thank you for watching

the news ah, with . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with

inpatient young i'm with one who's a computer for me, for a company to provide you with that you for that reason yet you're part of all

those years. ah with me hello, welcome to was a part that can 2007 when the relations between russia and the west, we're already showing signs of distress, but we're still manageable. not to mention remarks. to the death of mahogany, it's hard to find somebody to talk to and be understood what was dismissed as a joke, proved to be

a prophecy. 15 years on russia and the was no longer talking and our security disputes layout as it military confrontation in an over ukraine is a return to known violence still possible and on one conditions. to discuss that are known by a career indian diplomat and former member of indian permanent mission to the united nations. ambassador is a great, great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. you're pretty straightforward. in characterizing the rational operation in ukraine as that quote brazen attack and that contravention of international law. and i think many russians may agree with you on that, but is there any great power or a major power in this day and age done? would put abstract international law, a bomb is immediate and concrete,

security interest threats to those who are 3 interests. what we have to understand is that increasingly realistic for no in a mighty paula word, garden greens which are far full have this spheres of security influence or what this seem to be areas around them which are critical to the manager you went to all of their security perceptions. once you understand this, then me can perhaps try and understand the more you wish to be. and i think brush unfortunate intervention. you great, i say unfortunate because again to war, which has led to a great deal of damage and destruction. it's led to loss of lives and it is
