a, a, a soft battalion that is said to be nazi affiliated organization, operating as a militia in your country, on the deal. they are what they are. they are what they are. that's the cranium. presidents response to the far right as of the times alleged atrocity is comes as human rights watch, urges an investigation into alleged torture of russian soldiers by the ukrainian military. the woman whose photos appeared in western media after the key of officials claimed to be an air strike from russia on mario pl maternity home sheds . more light on the incident, claiming the building was occupied by ukrainian soldiers at the moment of the attack. also had a great crowd blue german temper all are held during his speech in the city of ethan,

as german politician to ask people to reduce energy use amid swing prices, following anti russian sanctions. we get reaction on the streets. i said with that simply outrageous as usual, i don't know what to say to that outrageous, everybody should resign. now, the way things are going with ukraine and stuff is not so nice. ah, broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas, certainly glad to have you with us. now, fighting continues in the danielle republics. the city of mario pl, which has been ravaged by intense battles for more than a month. according to the city's mayor, there are still around 170000 people trapped in the city with no food, water, or electricity. now the red cross has paused regulations as fighting in marble,

intensified and blamed a rushing blockade for preventing humanitarian deliveries. the russian defense ministry accused the ukrainian military of failing to carry out its obligations to open the humanitarian corridors from the city and said nationalist battalions continued to target. the evacuation route. we heard from people trapped in the war torn city, evelyn, but my husband and i were in the basement. i stayed and he went out to feed the poppies. he didn't return for a long time. i began to shout, he didn't answer. i followed him. i saw that he was covered in blood. his arm was broken, he had severe blood loss. a young guy came to help. he cut off pieces of skin that had come off my husband's head. the shelling was so strong, i myself was covered in charge of glass. i want the gunfire to stop. it is so scary still though the situation and my real police tense, they should constantly. i had to remove the class from my broken leg to pull people

out of the rubble of the burned out building. and after all that, i had complications and needed surgery. but thank god i managed to get some people out of the city. a frank admission from the ukranian president about the far right . as of battalion pressed by a fox news anchor, vladimir zalinski acknowledges the severity of the atrocities that they are accused of. a soft battalion that is said to be nazi affiliated organization, operating as a militia in your country said to be committing their own atrocities. razzles was one of those many battalions did the key of will need, you know, they are what they are in his interview, soleski also said the as a battalion is fully integrated into the ukrainian military and that before joining some battalion members had served jail sentences for various crimes, this fragment of the interview was later deleted from all fox news online resources . can krakowski a retired us air force?

lieutenant colonel told us why president soleski will find it hard to hold the battalion to account publicly. zelinski is saying that he wishes he hopes to hold them accountable for any or if it's proven, or if we get more information he intends to hold them accountable. but unfortunately, the track record that he has, his political situation is such that it's highly unlikely that he will be able to hold them accountable. they're part of his political support structure on it, not to say that he agrees with them all the time, but he is dependent in some ways with, with their agenda is independent on their agenda to some extent. so it's not like he can simply just get rid of them. i mean, as he said, they are integrated into the military. there was a reason they were integrated into the military and not rejected from it. certainly americans are anti nazi. they don't want to hear in the government doesn't want

them to hear that we are in effect aligning with nazis. and we don't want to ask too many questions because we aligned with them in 2014 and we've aligned with them since 1940 in many ways to see a has a long history. that's well reported and well acknowledged of working with nazis in europe. in particular, ukrainian nazi group, ukraine is getting wrecked. it's getting wrecked because united states wishes to sacrifice it for to the altar of anti russian propaganda in preservation of the of the dollar is the rules. reserve currency. i mean, this is so much larger, i think, than ukraine, if it doesn't fit into the unit polar maintenance of the united states as a unipolar power, the top dog on the planet. if it doesn't relate to that in an anti russian way, we really, they were not interested in united states. media is not interested in anything but supporting the u. s. agenda, which is really not caring about ukraine at all,

or the ukrainian people or the ukrainian agriculture or, or the ukrainian resources. this is really about us versus in particular, russia and then in a larger sense, rush is alice. meanwhile, firsthand accounts of alleged atrocities by the as of the italian and ukraine are mounting r t here is from residence about the damage the group has allegedly cause now such as a battalion, forces were shooting us as they were destroying our houses. they went in and kicked out resident saying, we're defending you. they are nazis. they have been torturing for 8 years ago as of to 250 people out of their homes, starting from the 1st floor and lined them up in a row. then they began shooting people. 8 people killed, 4 wounded, including children, an elderly women. they deliberately use incendiary bombs, forcing people out of their homes, saying, go wherever you want. i wish they left our city sooner. we didn't call them. since

ours off came here in 2014, it's been total. lawlessness was. meanwhile footage, claiming to be of the ukrainian army torturing russian prisoners of war has caught the attention of leading human rights. and geo. the group says should launch a full investigation into the alleged incident. this comes as ukraine offers a mixed response to the videos. decision was taken to hand over captured russian troops to their mothers if they come to collect them in ukraine. unlike putin's fascists we ukrainians are not waging war against mothers and their captured children. when i get your brochures know about if i remind everyone that abusing prisoners of war is

a crime that does not carry amnesty on their international law and does not have an institute of limitations. so 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. me. the mistakes videos with inhuman treatments of russian prisoners of war by the ukrainian military are being distributed in order to discredit the defense forces of ukraine. i know that the service men of the training on forces strictly of the international humanitarian law. we need proof if military from the ukrainian side guilty, we will investigate them and take them to court. it is important that these types of videos and that any treatment that may happen be stopped immediately. mm. ukraine complies with all the rules for the maintenance

and treatment of prisoners of war in accordance with the geneva convention. that's for reports that someone which is some one not single fact has been confirmed. these are movies that the russians themselves are making and then spread and fakes . ah, the as a battalion are a major force opposing the russian military events on variable and the narrative about them within western media has shifted dramatically since the war began. ortiz on quarter comments. like a chameleon, it changes colors from a group of neo nazis to freedom fighters with ease. it's the as off battalion, at least the way the western media portrays it back in 2014 the times. described as off as a group formed by white supremacists, now it's headlines feature a quote from the organization claiming they're fighting the real nazis as of deeds

though. tell a different story though. it's useless. sheila burleson, you know, playing host, who you originally reason for people with eyes and ears. there's no doubt about who these people really are. but for the western media, it doesn't matter if an armed group believes in genocide or is guided by some insane ideas. if they're fighting washington's enemies, it seems like no expense will be spared to make them look like angels. look at all the terrorists. western outlets have either tried to look tones down or supported in the past. i will, mohammed al gilani is a former member of both al qaeda and isis the same man that p b. s gave a platform to as the leader of the most dominant armed anti government group and syria. even osama bin ladin was hailed as an anti soviet freedom fighter by the western media for many years. the same man who is responsible for this.

ah, ah, we could go as far back as 922. when the western media literally glorified at off hitler for as long as he was only talking smack on jews and communists, of course he was hailed as a new popular idol, the anti red. it just goes to show as long as other guys are paying the price for these people's actions, the western media will sing their praises. and right now it's as of in the spotlight. and right now the a's of battalion is ha, we like them there and we want to know more. we like it, they're patriotic. they're standing up to burden. the young woman that appeared on images, published by western media, showing what ukrainian officials claimed was the russian air strike on marble. maternity hospital has finally broken her silence after almost a month. since the incident took place, she claimed the building had been taken over by the ukrainian military at the time

of the incident. of the incident sparked great concern in the un with the secretary general calling on the sides to abstain from senseless violence. marble official said you talk left, 3 people killed in 17 wounded. moscow however insists that there were no civilians in the hospital. the women in the photo shared by the media shed more light on the incident diligence. it's about a normal to woman her and maternity hospital number 3 said that they were initially in maternity hospital number one, it but the medical stuff told them that they needed to be evacuated because the military had to go that since the building has solid panels, there has been no water electricity in the city since march the 2nd route. the military turned out to be more important to them. so they moved the pregnant women to they only remain in baton to hospital when there was no electricity, or there is only generated that talked only for non sufficient london to lay timmons and of the military did nothing to help us. once they even asked for food, they said that they hadn't eaten anything for 5 days. worth that there was no

communication between the troops and they were not helped. then away, they took out food and said that we would cook flowers. sounds later. one got on launched the nuns everson was quite, there was no evacuation after lunch, we were talking when we had a shall go off. instinctively through on the blanket when they had the 2nd shell it's the windows were broken, my face was lucky caught gleam. but the angels were minor, doctor said that everything would hail by itself, but which could do it after the 2nd explosion, they crawled, started move and i didn't see it. but it seems to me that many women, what ancient just them though, i was pushed by my stomach against the glass, but i only have a small scratch last we were evacuated to the basement. there were already husbands of those pregnant women who were in the hospital, which i called in supply witnesses. the 1st explosion founded in the distance. so people managed to escape inside me. oh, it was definitely not a ne, right? because no one had the planes. neither those who went outside to know the women in labor gone how but he had the plain even in the dream. the projectile came from

somewhere. it didn't fall in the building itself, but on the hospitals territory. but that was because stories were uprooted because been town, literally the women's clinic built in was black. we're lucky that the project child was didn't fly him to our building because it simply remained without windows near brussels, though there were no more explore since literally 10 minutes late. and a military came and sat to punch possibility that came to when did it, there was such an mothers with children. i saw soldier in hamlet and there to something in his hands and realised that he was taken photos. and we would ask him nazi and he walked away to lake helen live and living the same report and was there again life he was asked not to take pictures, but he ignored new classes from my to my husband sat. he saw the associated press accreditation when the situation come down, i realize from the photos that the report is at the immediately after the explosion . paula, when the legal analyst and anti terror expert jennifer britain. busy says the

tactics allegedly used by of ukraine and military are reminiscent of those used by some terrorist organizations. well, this is a big deal because one of the main eye witnesses that reportedly is now come out even with video footage is the main woman who was picture of the ukrainian influence or woman saying that it was in fact the ukrainian mom military that took that over so to me and this is so reminiscent of what we saw from other terrorist organizations that it's the exact same type of thing. it's set up the situation, go to a building that is vulnerable, either emptied out or building where they're vulnerable people or medical needs, and then make sure that there is return fire or something there so that those stories can be against you. so the public narrative can be against you. to me, this is extremely concerned specifically in a place as large as, as ukraine, where there are other buildings they could have set up at. and where these women were forced to leave by the creating military. the town of booker northwest of

ukraine's capital kiev has been recaptured by the ukrainian army footage, allegedly, from the area has been released by ukrainian officials and published on social media and a bit of a warning to viewers. you may find these images disturbing. almost $300.00 civilians were buried in a mass grave in the town. this is according to ukrainian officials. booker has seen fierce fighting in recent weeks. russia has not yet commented on allegations of civilian killings in the area. the german chancellor, olaf sholtes was a hag old with cries of liar. as an angry crowd booed germany's leader during his speech in the city of s. and the incident happened at rally to mark the beginning of the social democratic party state election campaign. the chanting apparently began when the chancellors spoke about the cranium,

conflict and refugee crisis. european governments have faced growing discontent since the start of the conflict in ukraine and subsequent anti russian sanctions that have led to rising food and energy bills across the continent. authorities have taken the opportunity to give their citizens some advice on how to cope with the crisis. everyone is asking what can i do? you can do 2 things ah, control your own and your teenager sat showers. and when you turn out that, what do you say take that putin, you can withstand 15 degrees in winter in a sweater. no one dies of it. and so i will say this, we must turn off putins golden tap, stop the supply of gas and oil. so that europe gets a chance for freedom again. if possible, we should write a bike or take a bus or train instead of using cars. given the high energy prices and strong dependence on russia, i can only advise you to do so. in one fell swoop, it would be possible to save a lot of energy to help people in their hardship. germany's parliament has promised

to provide a 300 euro relief payment. however, the money will still be subject to a tax, meaning that the final some will be even smaller. but german officials are unlikely to feel the pinch as the chancellor and some ministers wages are set to rise starting this month. we ask people on the streets what they make of their governments helping him. oh very well from what they're saying. there's going to be tax on it. it's so stupid, given that it's been created for families that are not doing so well in need, the money. they have been hit hard here in berlin, where the cost of living is so high already. it's not a good situation of i don't touch him time. well, that's simply outrageous. as usual. i don't know what to say to that outrages really outrageous. some of you know, if he does all of, well, it's not members of parliament that need to worry about how they're going to get to work tomorrow. actually everybody should resign. now the way things are going with

ukraine and stuff is not so nice and i need to talk monday morning. okay, let's wait. he says it is the 1st country and guys from client to completely stop russian gas imports and countries. president said that the move was an example for other members with windy and officials also noted that the move away from russian supplies meant that the country was protected from the recent demand from russia to pay for gas. and rubles meanwhile, poland prime minister has admitted that sanctions on russia aren't working after the rubel bounced back to pre war levels of p. m, also accused brussels of failing in its goal to cripple rushes economy. some e leader is a treason decisive as a smokescreen for their inaction. the sanctions are supposed to bring you great peace, not to be your of the guilty conscience. the sanctions are supposed to stop. and if they haven't, it means that they're not robust enough. rushes rubel currency has been strengthening in recent days after taking a hit, mid harsh new western sanctions imposed at the onset of the conflict in ukraine

last month. while the exchange rate reached $120.00 roubles per us dollar. on march 11th, it now stands at around $83.00 roubles per dollar. the european leaders are eagerly anticipating the results of hungry parliamentary elections. this sunday, as a change in leadership could potentially invoke a shakeup in the european order or to or if the notion that has more parliamentary elections, usually a battle between parties or candidates. but with the upcoming vote in hungary, things are not that simple. the choice is for the country's future, and it's due political self identification. is it with nato and the e u, or is it looking eastwards? and yes, it's also all about ukraine. and while hungry is yet to make his choice, some seem to be willing to have a hand on it. the situation is clear, there is ongoing coordination between the hungary left and the ukrainians. if the

hungarian left were to take over the government, they would immediately begin arm shipments and they would immediately vote in favor sanctions on oil and gas shipments. all those accused denied the claim, but it turns just how heated things ahead of the vote are and how the ukraine question overshadows at all. so who is on hungary? his candidate list. the frontrunner led in by a small margin, a sitting president to victor oren, leader of the ruling party that has been in power for 12 years dubbed an autocrat and 21st century dictator by the west, or were in, has long been a thorn in the use side had to these, his conservative pro family, anti algebra, t and anti migrant values. but what's even more crucial ukraine organs of neutral line was seen by some as coziness with putting. although he joined e u sanctions. he refused to ban rush and gas emperors or send arms to key f. a. do our civil do hesitate whether to impose sanctions or not. do you hazarded whether

to work weapons through or not? do you hazarded whether to trade with rush or not? there is no time to hesitate. it's time to decide already. the war of war is, has now gone further. will ukraine's deputy prime minister suggesting that budapest itself, once a chunk of ukrainian territory. hungary does not support the sanctions. they don't provide weapons. they don't allow transit of weapons supplies from other countries . they say no to practically every. before long budapest official rhetoric will be openly pro russian. what is this all about? do they want some cheap russian gas? or maybe they want our dock a better region. but nothing seemed to scare open. he remained firm with giving the ukrainians everything. we can perhaps even beyond our capacity. but we will not comply with any demands of theirs which would destroy our national community, either in a biological sense, with our sons dying in someone else's war or with the ruination of hungary economy . faith in over a the group of fixed opposition parties and their candidate whose while to clear

the wrong belong to the west, we belong to will be the see you. but over and office to choose not side, not groups, but between war and peace. and his message seems to be resonating with voters according to polls. the war has cast a shadow over the whole hungarian election campaign. the question of peace and security is now also part of what's at stake in the election. and our message is clear only the fidel party can create peace in hungary, only we can guarantee the security of the hungarian people splitting sharply from nato allies and not waving your quoting flagging solitary. t might close to other european leaders in election, but it seems not organ on the opposite. his policy of hungary 1st could take him to victory, which might make europe even more nervous, and more divided than now. from on this, let's cross live 2 political analyst alessandra bruno alexandro, thanks for being with us on this to help us kind of wrap our minds around it. if

you know about wind, which the polls are saying could happen, do you expect increased pressure on budapest to choose where it's loyalties, lot, east or west or i think the pressure on with us will continue regardless. of course, if that when see there will be a return of resistance because i don't think one will change is all or been practices a type of politics which i think should be more popular is inform relations. i think the formula is there are only permanent interests instead of permanent allies . so it's very realistic, it's very re politic. albany is simply doing hungry. these interests and let's not get hungry, isn't both the european union and in nato hungary sent troops

to afghanistan. it then troops to flight isis. so it has participated in several major emissions. and it is the only problem that it has with the european union. and the, and the rest is the only problem that hunger has, is he's so called in liberal policies. in other words, policies that challenge the what passes for left wing these days, which identity essentially identity politics knew from well my question about that, continuing on that line of thought, do you think that or been decision to not send weapons to ukraine aids or hinders his hopes for another term. i think, given the trouble already booing, in many you countries that are scrambling to find out how they're going to pay for

gas in rubles, some of them making heroic statements likely the way no other actually comical ones like some of the ones we've seen where they challenge, citizen to take cold or shower than to wear more sweaters and to take a bicycle. forgetting the fact that the real problem is that natural gas power is industry particular in germany. i think this may play into one's chances. i feel he is after i'm going to michael, who resigned earlier few months ago. he is the longest running european leader, and he has a solid base of support. and the, his challenges, we have to say challenges clue because there are 6 parties in a coalition that includes anything from the liberal left to the far

right. so i'm not sure even if this a position led by market leader who if i think he's a moderate conservative, but even if it manages to win, how long could it manage to stay in power to implement anything close to a policy? so i think they will be heading to either elections shortly thereafter, or ben doesn't win. now, do you think the election is going to be tighter as a result of the war and ukraine and what's happening there? do you think that's going to have significant influence of what people think? i think the people in the hungry song repeatedly that they are quite concerned about refugees and migrants. and of course, the continuation of the war in ukraine can only mean more trouble and more risk of such phenomena occurring. so i think even while many people

will obviously oppose the world who doesn't, you know, everyone wants the world to be over. some may realize that funding, allowing weapons to filter through only serve to prolong the war. so the policy is blocking weapons is at least one way to shorten it. and i think if you could consider that logic, perhaps perhaps you may get even more votes than expected. right. ellis, under bruno political analyst, it's going to be an interesting today would watch and see how this all plays out. i know that we'll come to you at some point to help us figure it out. thanks for your thoughts on that. i know you are watching art international. i will back in, let's say 31 minutes with another phone transaction news. so with a search introduction,

ah ah ah mm mm mm. mm, mm. welcome to wells fargo, depression general and military theory. carl klaus with famously said that war is a continuation of politics by other means. i guess today it takes

a bit further by suggesting that this day and age sanctions to you are advancing the cause of war. and in the case of the ukrainian conflict, we have both isn't likely to lead to a lasting peace. i'm now joined by hans kirk, later president of the international progress organization. dr. crippler is good to talk to thank you very much for your time. you're welcome. now let's 1st deal with um class with a search and or is a continuation of policies by other means i know that you disclose you use in your writing quite a bit as cynical as it may sound in our progressive age. is that still to is that still the case not only in the ukrainian context, but also broadly around the world, it is still the case. indeed of course we have to that. so war is politics by other mean.
