a with a days off battalion that is said to be nazi affiliated organization, operating as a militia in your country. you know, they are what they are. the answer from the ukranian president when quinn is the amount the alleged, the atrocities of the neo nazi a self battalion which laudermill zelinski admitted in this same interview fights as part of the country's forces. also ahead with our the latest efforts to evacuate civilians tramped in the devastated port city of mario pole, and in failure. those fighting intensifies found. those russia accuses ukraine of breaking pledges. we hear from local sharing has so strong. i'm as helpless covered in charge of glass. i want the gunfire to stop. it is so scary. the situation in my

real police 10th, they should constantly. i had to remove the cost from my broken leg to pull people out of the rubble of the burned out building. on the field there, he took storing fuel and food prices of the crippling sanctions against russia impact more than just the energy sector. ah, 5 in the evening here in moscow on this the 1st sunday of april. my name's unit leon, you're welcome to the our teen use right job. that starts with a recap of recent developments in the ukraine conflict. the russian military says it struck an oil processing plant. and fuel depot is in the strategic ukrainian port, city of odessa. columns of smoke could be seen right thing from different areas of

the city. meanwhile, ukraine's retake in the city of butcher, near the capital. the local authorities say there are scenes which both look exactly like war crimes, with allegedly the qualities of executed civilians and mass graves, find their deed. let's focus on the slaughter story. the ton of butcher located northwest of kia has been recaptured by the ukrainian army footage, allegedly, from the area has been released by local officials unpublished on social media and warning. you may find some images disturbing. according to key f, almost 300 civilians were buried in a mass grave in the time butcher has seen fierce fighting in recent weeks. russia has not yet commented on allegations of civilian killings in the area of the military observers. on the ledge, the footage was staged and part of a planned ukrainian media campaign aimed at western countries. while russian

armored vehicles can be seen in this footage, destroy the sun abundant in the village of mitrovica near at ukrainian forces claim they have re take in all territories around the capital. after russia said it would scale by gets operation in the region. we love the russian defense ministry has confirmed a strike on a ukrainian oil terminal on 3 fuel storage facilities near the city of odessa and us and southern ukraine. footage shows terminals, not the facility of little smoke billows. emergency workers are bustling to bring the situation under control. russia previously said it would target facilities which ukraine uses to replenish its and the red cross house paused by tuitions of fighting, and maurice will intensifies blaming a rushing blockade for preventing humanitarian deliveries. the russian defense

ministry, however, has again stress, that's the ukrainian military, which is not allowing humanitarian corridors to open. moscow also reiterated that national battalions are continuing to target the evacuation roots something key of denies. we heard from people trapped in the war torn city. it will of my husband deny we're 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 had. the shelling was so strong, i myself was covered in shards of glass. i want the gunfire to stop. it is so scary, 3 though the situation in mario police. they should constantly, i had to remove the cloth from my broken leg to pull people out of the rubble of the burned i was building. and after all that, i had complications and need

a surgery. thing god, i managed to get some people out of the city. they are what they are. the answer of ukraine's president when quiz by fox news about the new nazi a's off battalion on the atrocities it's accused of. i discussed on a little earlier with ortiz, donal quarter, and remind clustering 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 that the key of will need yield. they are what they are. well, fox news really put ukrainian president vladimir zaleski on the spot by asking him what the american people should know about atrocities committed by the neo nazi as of italian in ukraine. his response, they are what they are. ukranian president then went on to try to justify his statement by saying that they're now part of the official ukrainian armed forces. let's take a listen to what he said when everything of,

from all the components of those going into a battalions later, a war and incorporated into the, the military of ukraine. those as of fighters are no longer excelled for stablished a group. they are a component of the ukrainian military. perhaps zalinski was implying that they're now more accountable to ukrainian law. but it doesn't really look good when a government consciously accepts neo nazis into its official armed forces. now if you went on the internet and tried to look for this part of the interview on any of fox news as resources, you'd be out of luck because it's been white from all of fox news as internet platforms. and this is just one part of a wider campaign to whitewash. as all battalion in the western media, we've seen attempts to play down their neo nazi sentiments to play down reports of torture of russian p. o w's by the us. all battalion in a number of western media outlets. these include the financial times and even the b,

b. c, which has shown a reporting of troops in the as a battalion wearing nazi symbols on their uniforms. needless to say, this is not fooling every one. president zalinski asked about the crimes of denazi's from views of battalion and shooting that prisoners of war. they are what they are. zalesky also confirms that denazi's officially served in the ukraine and army, the u. s. sipple, the nazi fox, like the rest of the western media, does not show the inconvenient truth which was cut from the interview. zelinski asked about the torture practised by then that's his off regiment to which de lansky replied. they're what they are a short answer that says a lot regarding us of not cease, zalinski says they are what they are offering no explanation or remorse or expectation of any justice being done about latest as off atrocities of prisoner for torture and killing st. lensky also tried to justify supporting as all by

saying that the battalion has been defending its homeland. that's despite the fact that it's been indiscriminately attacking don boss over the past 8 years. this is a region that although it declared independence key, have considered to be part of its own territory. now, throughout that time, the western media has largely turned a blind eye to the us all battalions atrocities. but right now that's a bit harder to do, like the brutal torture and murder of a young woman who lived in mario pal. she was found with a swastika carved into her lifeless corpse. a warning, the falling images you may find, disturbing. no. the 30th lucille brazelton, you know, playing host, who do you usually rhythm brush has since launched investigation into that terrible crime. now probably the most important take away from what zalinski said is the fact that this is the one of the main reasons that russia began its military operation in ukraine in the 1st place to de not suffice. ukrainian government and

ukrainian armed forces. the western media have long said that these people are just on the fringes of society. that zalinski is jewish. so there couldn't possibly any be any neo nazis who have powerful positions in the armed forces or the government . but here we have it. the ukranian president basically verifying what moscow has been saying this entire time berman you've been reporting from don boss for large periods since this latest conflict began. and indeed, well before that, what to people there say about the a's off battalions auctions. well, it is indeed a very, very painful subject for the people of dunbar sits azar battalion, i'd czar battalion and a numerous r her names. and i want to go back to the president zalinski just for little that he's in that interview. he's also talking about the fact that some members of the assault battalion actually received the prison sentences. however, since the raw rushes special, very minutes, reparation and ukraine began. most of those people had been released along with the

other harden criminal criminals, and they had been remodeling into the ukrainian army. well, as a battalion, they've been accused of committing a war crimes by the united nations before as well. now there were the several documentaries news reports made about them as well. not just as all battalions, but other battalions were the neo nazi affiliations. of course, are plenty of 1st hand accounts here and on boss as well, including yours. truly. i've been working here for the last 8 years and i've seen a mass graves left by these nationalist battalions as that were retreated retreating from the oncoming donetta peoples the republic militia. now i've seen those that footage that say you've shown i've seen something like that with my own eyes. i remember a pregnant woman with her arms tied behind her back and she was dug up and her

hands were tied behind her back and it was absolutely horrible. to watch, of course, over the last month and a half the fighting has been taking place in murray. paul, many of the local residents have also witnessed their shots these that have been committed by us off. and they told me earlier as well that that's been happening, not just over the last month and a half, but over the last 8 years as well as they've been the station there. let's say here some of the accounts about us, all math up as of 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 80 is as long as up to 250 people added their hands starting from the 1st floor and lined them up in a row. then they began shooting people. 8 people killed 4 wounded, including children and elderly men. they deliberately use incendiary bombs,

forcing people out of their homes. st. 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. while the fighting in maroon has been taking place for quite a while now over a month and a numerous times, a russia providing humanitarian corridors in order for the people to leave. but each time local residents were not allowed to do so. as the city was encircled by the us all for a battalion, they were preventing the people from leaving and using them as a human shields. and that's according to locals who gave their own a witness accounts. now at the moment, according to a local authorities and 90 percent of murray rouble is finally a liberated major. fighting at the moment is taking place at adults steel. ha metallurgy. ha, bland. and it's still, it's situated on around 7 heck,

there's of land in the city of marine people. so that's where the heaviest fighting is taking place. but according to a local source of local authorities and the russian army, that should be ending very soon as well as people are finally looking to rebuild the city of maria val and start a peaceful life. once again, her man caught her finishing up at that report from don bass, now retired, u s. or a forced lieutenant colonel carn petoskey believed. president zalinski is going to find it hard to hold the a's off battalion to any kind of a kind. publicly zalinski 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. he's in dependent 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. and then 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, 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 the ukrainian resources. this is really about us versus in particular, russia and then in a larger sense, russia's allies, it's something else to bring you to day the kremlin spokesperson has said, the west has gone beyond reason when it's sanctioned, the russian president personally, dmitri prescott added, he was also surprised with his own children, where target mean was the crippling sanctions on the rush aren't just causing pain

in this country at german show. so it will of shorts was heckled as an angry crowd booed him during a speech in the city of s and the yeah, that happened really to mark the beginning of the social democratic party state election campaign. that jumping apparently began when the chancellor spoke about the war in ukraine. european governments of face growing discontent over rising food and energy bills across the continent. now the help people with their rebels, germany's parliament has promised to provide a 300 euro relief payment. however, the money will still be subject to tax, meaning the final sum is going to be smaller. german officials are likely to feel the pinch though the wages of the chancellor and some ministers that arise from

this month. we ask people on the streets of burden, what they made, of their governments helping and 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 year in berlin, where the cost of living is so high already. it's not a good situation. 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 that 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 the ukraine and stuff is not so nice to get a moment amuse from germany and in neighboring belgium. people are also witnessing storing fuel prices pushed in part by the relentless sanctions imposed on russian and local complain. it's not only energy being impacted prices for food and

everyday products. continue to rise. week after week and mid a 39 year inflation high in the country. and this is a plea. were demonstrators gathered in genoa to protest against weapons sales and made the ongoing ukrainian crisis. people voice concerns about what the arms would actually be used for. the also called for peace into civilian casualties. be used, foreign policy chiefs former adviser has worn many europeans are going to find it hard to cope with the sanctions that its own leaders have imposed in russia. auster crew has been speaking to r. t. 's going under ground. the full version can be find on r t dot com. in the meantime though, here's part of it. it was only in the beginning of march. the french finance was saying our aim is to collapse the russian economy. and now,

one months later, we see in the financial press, many commentators talking about this is beginning of the end of the global monitoring system. does, showing the and russia together have the kind of infrastructural clout, to be able to save the world from global famine. russia is the key of all commodities, food resources, oil, gas, precious metals, everything comes from russia. europe, i cannot manage as it is. they cannot get gas from anywhere else that will substitute for russian. guess that's just obvious. i don't see any sign that the europeans did pay me, gave any thought to the strategic consequences of what they were doing. some of the sanctions on russia have affected important areas of

fertilizers, other things that are necessary in food production. certain gas is necessary also. and people are going to feel a huge amount of pain. the costs of gas and electricity like in the u. k, are going to go up 50 percent. they've gone up 50 percent, they'll probably go up and up 100 percent. before the end of this year, how people going to survive with this, the sanctions in many ways, europe as not sanction russia, it's sanctioning, it's not hunger eons are voting today this sunday in parliamentary elections with the e. u keeping more than a keen eye on the results because it could have ramifications big ones for the block. with more on all that taken us through, at ortiz, maria finished parliamentary elections, usually a battle between parties or candidates, but where the upcoming vote in hungary, things are not that simple. the choice is for the country's future and its

geopolitical 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 seemed to be willing to have a hand on it, but the situation is clear. there is ongoing coordination between the hungary left and the ukrainians. if the hungarian left to take over the government, they would immediately begin arms shipments and they would immediately vote in favor of 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 victor or burn leader of the ruling party. that has been in power for 12 years dubbed an autocrat and the 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 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 and has now gone further. will ukraine's deputy prime minister suggesting that budapest itself, once a chunk of ukraine and territory. hungary does not support the sanctions. they don't provide weapons. they don't allow transitive weapons supplies from other countries. they say no to practically every. before long budapest official rhetoric will be openly pro ration. what is this all about? do they want some cheap russian gas?

or maybe they want our docket better region. but nothing seemed to scare open. he remained firm, we're 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 hungry economy. faith in over a the group of fix opposition parties and the candidate whose loyalties are clear, the belong to the west belongs to be the v. you. but over office, the truth, not side, not groups, but between war and peace. and his message seems to be resonating with voters according to polls. the war has cost a shadow over the whole hungary and 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 policy can create peace in hungary, only we can guarantee the security of the hungarian people blinking sharply from

nato allies and not waving your quoting flagging solidarity might cost 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. this is a referendum of decision whether direction, whether the direction of hungry will go east works or eastward, and european or just european. america is hungry, changes the government, europe well and totally close the door east works and will be isolated. and. busy will suffer an economic downturn which will eventually break up into europe if barbara and keep in place. we still have a door open to east to the east. and europe will have a slight chance to re open the relationships to watch russia,

china, and all the other countries each works. so this is, i think, events even essential for europe that often would say empower secret bio labs, creating dangerous viral infections. truth or fiction, or short dark attempts to separate one from the other. next the oh, nice to come to the russian state. little never the tires on the northland skiing with eclipse in 55. would this be okay, so my niece,
