11:02 am
also say's almost the entire republic of loop get scanned over of that done yet for public or not under control of russian or pro russian force. it also this week we'll see a new round of talks between russia and ukraine hosted by turkey. not the done yet. people sri public information ministry has released video, allegedly showing ukrainian forces shooting and beating russian prisoners of war. now we won't show the disturbing the do just some heavily reductive slides as it betrays bone soldiers lying on the ground with multiple bullet wounds to their legs, while others have broken bones. the heads of rushes, investigative committee has ordered an investigation into the incident. ukrainian officials gave this statement there had to be sure isn't about it soon. i remind everyone that abusing prisoners of war is a war crime that does not carry amnesty on their international law and does not
11:03 am
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. earlier paula slayer told me more about the contents of the disturbing footage as well as the reaction to the video. it's very gruesome footage, it's almost 6 minutes. i had a look at it earlier and it really is very upsetting. now you can hear in the background ukrainian soldiers saying that they have captured a russian recognizance group. it seems to have happened around 20 miles from the russian border in the region of hoc. if you see in the video, russian prisoners of war who are lying on the ground, their hands are tired. they have multiple looks like stab wounds on their bodies at the same time. they've been heavily beaten and they are being interrogated by men with blue on bands, which obviously shows you that they belong to the ukrainian military,
11:04 am
but possibly also to some of the nazi groups that we've been highlighting. you also then see 3 prisoners of war being ordered out of a van, and then at close range, they are shot in the legs. now we are receiving reports that some of those in the video did die during this whole interrogation. in terms of the reaction, we've had a different reaction from 2 different apartments in ukraine. the ukranian government itself has expressed alarm, saying it's going to launch an investigation and that as a european country, it knows its army doesn't behave like this. but there was a request that was also sent to the ukrainian defense ministry, and they did not specifically refer to this incident. but they did say that there were instances in the past where they blamed essentially russia for staging. things like this way, you see russian soldiers on the ground and ukrainians, mistreating those soldiers. now a number of channels, not any owls, have chosen not to show the footage because it is so brutal. but of course, this hadn't stop journalists from having
11:05 am
a conversation that really needs to happen. ukrainian soldiers shoot to russian prisoners of war in 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 nothing to justify it. even if it is not what we would like to report, it still has to be reported. if war crimes don't disturb you, because they're against russians, think about how the soldiers who are willing to shoot an arm prisoners might be willing to treat ukrainian civilians. the videos appear to be true. brushing prisoners of war are being shot in the leg by ukrainian soldiers, and some might die post shot. now obviously we've received a lot of reaction from users as well. just looking at the extensive chinese online reaction. you've had people saying things like the ukranian forces really need to be destroyed, that they haven't seen any video. lexus with russians mocking ukrainian prisoners of war. the ukrainians are behaving that the japanese did in changing and ukrainian
11:06 am
army is nothing sort of behaving the way isis behaved. a lot of reaction there was, but the kremlin one of the says and almost immediately moscow said it was launching a probe to what it described as extreme cruelty. we have heard from a criminal spokesperson, who has said that they will be studying all the fax off to which they would want to know that the people who participated in these torches are persecution and are punished. we'll pull it brings up to the point of international law. how might this alleged treatment of the capture soldiers be seen in terms of that will certainly violation of international law. you already have human rights watch that in the past has, has spent questions and expressed alarm to the creating government in terms of the hundreds of thousands of videos that are being uploaded that seem to intimidate russian soldiers. of course, as a breach of the geneva convention, we're talks about teaching, so, cheating, prisoners of war with dignity, and not putting them at risk will being able to identify them or they families. you
11:07 am
have videos in the past, not just like this, but you have way individuals are being named with their families will be named where the identities are being given. where you, you see the soldiers being humiliated. you see the soldiers being punished back on march the 10th human rights watch fainter quest to the ukrainian government because of it was so concerned about these videos. and on march the 16th, if it's still not received a response, but we can take a look at that. such treatment of prisoners of war violates protections under the geneva conventions intended to ensure a dignified treatment of captured competence on all sides. they make clear that prisoners of war must be treated humanely in all circumstances and protected against any active violence, as well as against intimidation, insults, and public curiosity. a international committee for the way across has also come out to and expressed concern over what it says is particularly the identification of individual prisoners in such videos. paul, asleep are not done yet. military troops of raise their flag over the local
11:08 am
administration. headquarters in the city of murray, who bull intends fighting, continues thereafter. a month of relentless efforts by russian led forces against ukrainian troops to secure the key port city more useful was occupied in 2014 by ukrainian forces during their crack dine on separatists and so on. but at least half of the city has no reportedly been cleared me last in the ukrainian capital, local something covering some of their st. monuments with some bikes to protect them from shelling on high alerts, with heavy fighting, reportedly ongoing, just kilometers away. in western ukraine, near the city of lutes, an oil storage facility has gone up in flames. after a reported russian or strike, firefighters were seen battling the fleas. there's been no statement on any casualties as yet. russian officials previously said they would target sites used by the ukrainian military for its operations, including fuel,
11:09 am
devils and civilian infrastructure has been bearing the brunt of the war. people from this village inside that then yet the people's republic were among those caught in the crossfire russian. their troops taken control of the area which remains heavily contested by retreating ukrainian forces. local civilians have been provided with food and shelter. while the done, yes, the military focuses on removing ukrainian landmines from nearby roads. some of the locals told us it's been a daily bustle of just trying to survive. for women were sitting there and then the sharing began. we heard explosions inside the house and all around us. we didn't know where to hide, my gosh, it's also horrible. ok, another news line turkey has stepped in to try and mediate a ceasefire in ukraine, delegations from moscow and kia will sit down for talks in istanbul this week ahead of the latest rhonda. but sure to be difficult negotiations. presidente lensky
11:10 am
maintain that he's not prepared to give up any of ukraine's territory or sovereignty, allowing that he wants peace, the restoration of normal life as soon as possible. now as fighting continues inside your train, our correspondents are on the front lines bringing you exclusive footage, including these pictures of wounded russian troops being transported back to field hospitals, where medics are working around the clock to treat an influx of casualties. ortiz eager shit down often this back to us. moscow and tears are pulling no punches in the ukraine conflict. all weapons, short of the nuclear options seem to be on the table and it is taking a human tool, rushes latest officials statistics on manpower losses standard more than $1300.00 dead, and almost 3 times as many wounded. so right now we are at a russian field hospital. it's in the back of the cave in front. it's very large installation out in the field and
11:11 am
a well right now the several surgeries going on. this soldier. well, he was wounded by a mine. so his right arm is right now being operated on by this doctor, he can see they are talking to each other, consulting about something he's out, or he has received anesthesia. and basically there are several more patients in here right now. so after this man receives the 1st treatment, he will be evacuated back to russia or for further short little of the victim has an injury caused by a mine, blast, shrapnel in his shoulder, causing vascular damage to muscles and soft tissue. we will try to stabilize him and send him to the next stage of evacuation from an extra machine to a mobile lab. this facility is no proper hospital, but is equipped just enough to save people's lives and limbs. silica. we have our medications we need, we have been provided with every thing and our patients receive all the necessary help. here patients are safe,
11:12 am
but many things can go of wry as they are evacuated across hostile territory. so this vehicle it was created here. it's sort of a makeshift armored while vehicle armored car that is used to well evacuate. those wounded are on the battlefield. so you can see that of all the markings that it bears. it only has a letter re no red cross because multiple will even drivers and medics have told us that anything marked with a red cross. well essentially becomes the 1st target. you can sneak a peak inside. this is what it looks like. and basically it can transport up to 12 people at the same time, people have called before with my help with the transportation of personnel, of patients and with their evacuation. when i spend many hours driving, as soon as a call comes in, i drive, i feel responsible, a person's life depends on me. and sometimes i have to drive really fast. for those who passed through this hospital, the fighting's over,
11:13 am
they will go home to recover. those who remain on the front line will continue their fight as battles in the country until their 2nd month. i'm again done of ot see now in an interview to serbian media, sir. gala for off says he's shocked. not the level of risk of phobia in the west, over the events in ukraine. russia's foreign minister also said that western countries are dictating their version of democracy to the rest of the world. was alert cigarettes. isolation is spoken of by those who have mentally and ideologically resigned themselves to the inevitability of the dictatorship of the west. on the world stage, vis dictatorship is support primarily by the west itself, which does not want to lose his positions. now, in other era has come and note that the west is trying to show the so called isolation in which russia allegedly found itself by present in all the arithmetic results in the you and vote. we know how these results are achieved and know what
11:14 am
shameless blackmail developing countries are subjected to. just recently, president biden said, violent europe that we are entering an era of a long confrontation between democracy and at all. crissy. if you look at how the modern west functions, the countries that have proclaimed themselves the standard of democracy and how the united states has reserved the whole of europe and it only leads nato, the essentially the european union use in the european union. its infrastructure is potentials in the interest of strength and in the u. s. military and political positions on the old continent. and if we talk about democracy in a talk rossi than this community of democracy in the form of the united states, nato and the european union is in relation to other representatives of the world community, an open autocracy. if not a dictatorship we are busily. we must make sure that the people have done boss will never again suffer the hands of the key for gene. we must make sure that the west and native stop trying to acquire ukraine has a physical and military threat against russia. so the ukraine seizes to be
11:15 am
a country that is constantly militarized. and where the rad attempts to place offensive weapons to threaten russia. we need to stop efforts in ukraine to encourage new knots, ideology and practices. both the demilitarization and de notification of ukraine are essential elements of the agreements that we are seeking use the stored brazil. the thing that struck me at the current stage was an unprecedented surge. i would even say an explosion of a car was a phobia which awoke in almost all western states and the which the leaders of the states are actively encouraging and fueling such an obsession. which has swept almost all european countries in relation to everything. russian beat, culture, art, education, or just towards russian citizens, as most of course struck me because it opened up the essence of this archaic rose, a phobia of which it turns out has been around for a very long time because it is impossible to awaken such feelings in just one day,
11:16 am
so it means they were being carefully hidden, was most german energy companies have rejected russia's request to pay for gas in ports in rouble. now, according to chancellor olaf shorts, the remarks come after moscow demanded so called on friendly states which have imposed sanctions against russia switch payments to the rebel. if most german buyers of russian gas will continue to pay for it in euros, in accordance with the currency fixed in their contracts. as of no russian gas accounts for around 40 percent of the use gas imports in response to moscow's military action in ukraine, the block announced its intention to slush its dependence on the rushing fuel. it's already signed the deal and liquefied natural gas with the us. the russian demand has been dismissed by most european states, as quote blackmail or a breach of contract. and a lot of your putting has nevertheless ordered organizations in russia to lay out their plans on the currency switch by the end of march. when europe has been
11:17 am
struggling to find substitute suppliers with some countries holding talks with gulf states in an attempt to diversify their energy sources. though, think of an alternative. the region didn't seem to rise for the occasion, at least for the u. e. energy minister in his latest statements question, the prospect of squeezing out russian supplies, stressing their essential role on the energy markets. me less cross live now to germany and specter reiner rough 1st geopolitical analyst, sherman of the local branch of the f. d. and we've just heard reiner from the german champs twisting most german buyers have rejected rushes, the money to pay for gas in rubles, could not mean russia nice stops. exporting gas to germany altogether. definitely, that could be the final outcome. dmitri per coff has announced that russia, of course, will not deliver gas for free. well,
11:18 am
it's an issue which is quite hot and we will see most likely end of this week. what will be the final outcome? i think that the european governments are playing with the prospect of now entering spring and summer and yeah, gas supplies are not as much endangered as beginning of winter, but indeed it's really risky maneuver because in the end the infrastructure is there. we need to supply from russia. we cannot invent new infrastructure within a few days. we cannot even invent and build up this new infrastructure for let's say liquid natural gas within 2 years as what the plan of announce today. it's really a very, very complicated issue and the whole power supply in the end is at risk. and also
11:19 am
the consumer prices for the regular citizens is endangered, even more than it is already. now, germany has also stated that the g 7 countries are not going to pay for their gas in roubles, as it stands now on a appreciate. it's a multi faceted issue, but with russia not barking di and how do you see this stand off playing it? of course, the west cannot accept this a request for payment and rule right away because that would be a sign of weakness and the relationship between the western europe and, and russia and the position of course of western europe is led by the united states has entered a stage where only a show of force matters and this is a very risky development because i mean, in the long term prospect of europe, she politically spoken. we need
11:20 am
a partnership with russia. it cannot be risk replaced in short term, and it will be very risky. also in the long term, if we depend on the middle east, in terms of gas supply, if we depend on united states in terms of gas supply. about 3 years ago, the united states wanted to deliver liquid natural gas to europe 1st time. but they were struck by a very cold winter, and so they even had to import l n g from russia. and so where will the energy security come from for europe, which is basic for our wealth and also. busy she politically spoken in the long term where will europe head we are in a very vulnerable. busy geopolitical position, we are neighboring africa also with a very, very strong demographic development, migratory influx in the long term. so i think a partnership between the western and the eastern part of europe is
11:21 am
a vitally important for our existence can. i just put the very point you are making to you again, reiner how realistic do you think the prospect of replacing russian oil and gas is with other sources. you mentioned air we've been going through as well, the middle east at the us. but that takes time, doesn't it? so people are going to be affected in the meantime. how realistic therefore, is not going to happen? well, it's not really realistic. the whole energy sector will be overthrown by such developments. if a gas supply would stop coming from russia, and if you look at some part of a part of central europe, they are far away from the coasts. where 1st you would have to be to build l n g terminal. even in the area will be very hard to replace natural gas from russia by
11:22 am
l. n. g, because the coastline is about 600 to 800 kilometers away. and therefore it's a long term development. and what is also very, very important to notice is that the signal that the u. s. giving to russia that they want to stop the gas supplies from russia already in 2 years time. and not only by the end of 2030 shows to russia that they do not even have to care much about future contracts with the e u. they can go full speed toward south asia, east asia, with new partnership, and leave you alone. and this will only, we can ask, so we have to think twice, whether there was a sanctioning bashers to what russia are really in the interest of europe, in the interest of the european citizen. and not only in the interest of the trans atlantic lead to which, unfortunately, also part of our government belongs the green party, hardback energy, mis minister,
11:23 am
a bad bulk of foreign minister. they both see themselves as servants of the united states. and this is not a good position to follow our own national and domestic interest. top notch analysis, as always, from reiner at 1st, geopolitical is speaking to us from germany to thank you. thank you. now as the russian army advances in southern ukraine, our senior correspondent, murat garcia, is embedded with troops. he was there, the military discovered uncleared, the house of one leader of a new, not secret behind the curtains of rushes, special operation in ukraine. a vast yet under reported enterprise is also underway . the d. nuts of vacation, of ukraine for many years now. the west has dismissed russia's concerns about the growing pop power of nazis and far right groups. here in ukraine,
11:24 am
this is the house of the local leader of the right sector, which is an openly neo nazi organization. and ukraine, which is prospered over the last 8 years outside his house. the son this is good garden street. it reads garn straw. see the german for street. he made no secret of who he was. he led the right sect, the office here in bed johns, this is his house. he himself ran away his the house itself is for now a crime scene. we can't enter, but we have seen the footage and some of the things that have been brought out of the house by russian investigators who are determined to de not suffice. incur a verse what ukraine has become. his name is victor plot nickel. and like many of ukraine's nationalists, he has a great fondness for all things that have a swastika on them. his family has kept archives and nazi memorabilia throughout
11:25 am
the years. he, his wife, children, and sister are all members of right wing organizations or through the food in you. here's his right sector membership cartucker. he's a unit commander and here he is himself. and here they say there's no fascism in ukraine. a call to kill russians. can they derogatorily call muscles? these are some of the images seized in his house. it reads 9th, november 1943, an original. and there's plenty of propaganda. material id cards left behind by this man. he is his son. we until you, his say split that he, along with his brother went to an elite military school in ukraine in t f. the, these are the sorts of people that were accepted there everywhere. this military uniforms. nazi military uniforms. this cap. yes. as division total called, which onset for the extermination and concentration camps ran by hitler's germany
11:26 am
and other one picture of adult hitler, along with the local division, as of the ss known for their brutality, mostly made up of ukrainian volunteers. but this was all outwardly open. every one knew who he was, and he was an influential figure in this new ukraine that formed after 2014. he ran, leaving all of this behind because he is well aware of what rushes d knots if occasion campaign operation will mean for him. specifically, mister plot mc av is one of thousands of radical right wing leaders, fighters and enablers, that russia has kept tabs on throughout the years. we have confirmed evidence of 53 crimes that were committed by putney coffee. and in around 70 more cases, he is considered an accomplice. we have proved that he perpetrated multiple rapes.
11:27 am
he was considered a merciless in powerful militia. as russian forces advance, many of these neo nazis and war criminals, a flea abandon homes and possessions, even family. now they have taken to threats and violence against civilians. much as nazis did to terrorize the population in liberated areas. york also, they threatened people, they hunt for people on social media. they look for their relatives in areas controlled by the ukrainian government. they threatened people directly or threatened their relatives, people fear not only for their lives, but also for the lives of their close ones. we've seen it ourselves, empty jails and prisons, murderous and killers armed and released. if only they agree to fight for key f, that will carry out assassinations forgive. here and alleged would be a lassen was caught before he could strike against the local businessman, who like many others,
11:28 am
welcomed russian troops. the ukrainian security forces visited me in prison, offered me to kill alexander pony mario, the member of parliament. they offered me a new life, new name, new documents, and $10000.00. i don't know why exactly they wanted to kill him. they just said that he had some relations with russia, ukraine's nationalists and war criminals used to laugh at russian warnings they were convinced in their own invulnerability, that they would for ever enjoy total dominance over the country. the population by fear and arms. these special operation has changed their minds. they no longer love . now they flee. or i'd gaz d a r t from bitter johnson ukraine. ah, indonesia which will play host to this year's g 20 gathering of the world's largest economies is so far resisting pressure from some members to kick russia out of the
11:29 am
group over its actions in ukraine. russia's membership of the g 20 is in question after the u. s president back plans to expel the country. moscow was already thrown out of leave n g a form back in 2014 and over the referendum in crimea on the rejoining of the peninsula with russia. we spoke with rushes and buster to indonesia who told us there are no legal mechanisms to expel russia from the g. 20 organization under for our food or government of indonesia has taken quite a balanced position. ah, on, on this crisis. ah, in a, in reality i, we, i don't few any changes in that position of indonesia towards marsh, a position of her. yes. reminds me of, i, you know, the ostrich which is bearing it's had in the sand. oh, it's quite quarterly because each they think that they can exclude russia and then don't see russia, the differences being part of being
11:30 am
a participant of different international fours. in addition, russia will not exist. of course not. how can you so global issues without versus participation. so this position is absolutely absurd. american. they are statements from a recent one from the prime minister, australia to scott morrison a. he doesn't want to sit at the same table with a leader of the country that invaded another country. ok, so the 1st candidate to be excluded are the us of course i understand there is no mechanism actually to exclude or to free country countries. participation in.
