really i'm getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time to sit down and talk with russia has called a un security council meeting following what moscow called a provocation by ukranian radicals in the town of butcher near kid. that's after ukraine released images of bodies in the streets, blaming russian forces for the killing. the russian investigative committee has opened a criminal investigation into calls by the mayor of the ukrainian city of denise for the killing of russians. quote, all over the world and in the largest possible quantities. viking continues in the don yet republic, city of multiple as russian forces move to capture the cities metallurgical plant, allegedly the last stronghold of the as of battalion in the area of correspondent,

it covers the story from the ground. one of the tourists buildings in the city of mario. but this is good. 1414 flow, but exactly, for this reason, it is so unsafe, it offers a spectacular view of the city with president dissolved parliament after a vote of no confidence in prime minister enron. khan was rejected as unconstitutional . con, alleges that the u. s. is orchestrating political turmoil ah . broadcasting lab direct from our studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now russia have called for a un security council meeting on monday following what the kremlin dismissed as

a blatant provocation by ukrainian radicals in the town of boucher in the key of region. ukraine's defense ministry, as well as several media outlets released videos and images showing bodies of civilians lying in the streets and others piled in mass graves give insists. this is proof of russian war crimes. the russian ministry of defense claims. the evidence appeared only sometime after ukrainian troops moved into the town. we would like to emphasize that all russian units completely withdrew from boucher on march the 30th the day after the face to face round of negotiations between russia and ukraine in turkey. moreover, on march the 31st and the mayor of butcher anatoly fed the route confirmed his video message that there was no russian military in the city. but he did not even mention any local residents shot in the streets with their hands tied. therefore, it is not surprising that all the so called evidence of crimes in boucher appears only on day 4. when you green in security officers and representatives of ukraine and television arrived in the city. this town,

it's located northwest of kiev and it was recaptured by ukrainian military just a couple of days ago actually. and that's why it was a bit strange when ki, have accused russia of war crimes. since this footage of the corpses in the streets, this terrible footage emerged actually, days after the town had already come under ukrainian control. those videos were apparently released by local officials put on social media and we are going to show them on the screen now. but just a warning to our viewers, you may find them a bit disturbing than according to kiev, almost 300 civilians were found in mass graves there. now the whole situation was so strange that the number of military observers actually said that this all could have been stage to that. it could have been part of a wider ukrainian propaganda campaign ad misinformation around what happened. but the vice speaker re and oversee also commented on this saying that the west in using this video as a sort of pro ukrainian propaganda would be complicit in crimes if it did turn out to be a staged event after that footage was released. so another video came out apparently

showing a ukrainian officer giving his troops the okay to shoot noncombatants. it wasn't for you. so like we've been saying throughout this entire broadcast, a lot of stuff connected to the story is still unverified. we have to keep that in mind. however, the friendship president has said, russian forces are responsible for boucher killings and that moscow will have to answer for the crimes. meanwhile, british and us officials have called for an investigation by the international criminal court. on the other hand of the russian ambassador to the u. s. claims washington has intentionally ignored, alleged ukrainian, military showing of butcher journalist alexander cox, who was embedded with the russian military. shared his thoughts on the situation. but i spent almost a month near the city of bootstrap. and so what sort of relations there were

between the local people and the russian military who was not aggressive. it was normal and even did business. there was an exchange of military dry ration for daily products. there was no aggression or conflict between the russian military and local residence. the people whose bodies that are now shown on ukraine and television were killed not long ago. and i know for sure that the troops left the city on march 30th on march 31st. this was confirmed by the mayor of the city of butram, who didn't mention any bodies lying in the streets. there is a white bandage on the sleeves of many people. this is the identification mark of the russian troops and local residents, just in case tight white bandages to show. i'm one of you don't shoot me, of course for the ukrainian military. where nationally such a bandage dissemble of the enemy. former us marine scott ritter believes that the ukrainian government is not interested in a thorough investigation of the butcher killings. we. we've seen the,

the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court talk about his intent to investigate. why isn't he knocking on the door demanding access to these bodies, demanding the absolute necessity to, to do these forensic examinations of the dead to find the data that would point a finger at yahoo? the perpetrator was, why don't do the ukrainian governments want to commit a thorough investigation of the incident that would put you bringing government in bad light? look, they've already achieved a propaganda. the entire west is outraged at the butcher incident. the entire west appears to be blaming russia, so the ukrainian government does need to do any additional work. meanwhile, the russian investigative committee has opened a criminal investigation into caused by the mayor of the ukrainian city of den, yet, but for the killing of russians, quote, all over the world and in the largest possible quantities for us feel to have

posted the statement on social media after allegations by ukraine that the russian military is responsible for war crimes in the town of butcher. he said ukrainians have the moral right to kill so called non humans all over the world are guessed. scott ritter says that the ukrainian government should swam that statement when we talk about war crimes in the prosecution of war crimes. one of the most difficult things to prove is intent because tragically, people died during war and it comes down to what was the intent of the people who fired the artillery shell, fired the guns, et cetera. or was it a legitimate military act, or were they carrying out will for harm the mayor of this ukrainian town. he is just broad chest, his intent, and anybody in the ukrainian government that doesn't shout this down doesn't come out and say, no, no, no, this is not who we are now. what they do, they are guilty by the failure to act so well,

this is horrible. those people who have articulated this kind of hateful rhetoric will be held to account. and in any trial, there will be this, this, this, this message in the messages of others is clear intent on the part of this individual and others in ukraine carry out. war tribes. let's continue with a recap of recent developments in the war in ukraine. the russian defense ministry has confirmed a strike on a ukrainian oil refinery and free fuel storage facilities near the city of death in southern ukraine. russia has previously said that it would target facilities which key of uses to replenish its war effort. ukraine has confirmed the strike and said no casualties have been reported elsewhere in the country. have a fighting continues invariable where the russian military seeks to gain control of a major metallurgical plant in the city which nationalist battalions are using as a base. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry has accused kiev affording evacuation attempts from

arguable thing. one of the roots was targeted with intense shilling. earlier, the city's mayor accused russia of blocking humanitarian supplies to marble. wood. i got the sheds more light on the developments in the area. the battle for mary, you bull has consume the city day and night, fires rage across the horizon, fueled by some of the most brutal urban combat she'd in years. but the end is in sight. if you can climb high enough, one of the tallest buildings in the city of mario park. this is the 14th 14th floor, but exactly for this reason, it is so an unsafe it officer, a spectacular view of the city. how unfortunately, it also means everyone can see this used to be a hard pointer, a position for ukrainian snipers before they were. they were driven back. you've got to stay low, you can't shoe yourself. it safer,

safer here. now that with in the dark they will be able to see us this far into the interior. but again, because heavy sir, because this building is so tall it is also used has a look up post to tank shells yesterday. landed here, destroying this apartment from a tank over there in the as of seal block, which is where ukrainian nationalists are making their last stand. that is the territory of the plant itself. and that is where the last of them, although thousands, has still based just to fluids below us,

leaves an elderly woman. she couldn't broaden than gave her paralyzed husband. he died of natural causes just a few days ago. he opened up novels unless dozing at the a block away. it will move out of a to not that, but almost the whose it done you, he, he just in kenya eat with is up going to list i was that was given and i do feel like you. so like with him, you middle aiden watching it. valentine is apartment building is a rec, many floors are burned out, others bloss to the pot. and throughout at all, she sat by and tended to had died. husband watching her home city bun li doesn't live. he wouldn't been watching to any pretty little amongst them up with

a game system with the school. there's no telling how soon this will end, but the end is clearly inside bald. thousands of civilians still remain trapped in areas controlled by ukrainian. as of nationalists, tens of thousands have fled that ease. of course, they weren't shot in the attempt. many people have been killed for less, looked at, but for them to credit the providing what the come to the deal with this. but he has them bought the lock them up with a book i and even if you manage to get away from ukrainian snipers,

that was still the mine fields to contend with. miles of minds placed the long roads packed with thousands of civilians. it looks just like an ordinary helmet out here by a road, merely a kilometer from mario. but then when you, when you look around as a nancy tank manouver, then there's dud patches. freshly dug earth all along the roads, more mines, some of them camouflage. some of them thrown about half heartedly. this is what the ukrainians left bod, fields and fields around mario pl. i'm in the city itself. mind had the tie guides he personnel mines as well as, as trip was, we don't know how many civilians have perished on these mines. we likely never will know the number killed by ukrainian snipers as they searched for food and water.

but the memory of them and what was done to them, we'll leave on and marry, you pull for a very long time. more i'd gazda of r t for mary opal. donnie, it's they are what they are. was the answer of ukraine's president when quizzed by fox news about the neo nazi as of italian and the atrocities it is 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 result was one of those many battalions. did the key of will neil they are what they are in the interviews on sky also said the as of battalion is fully integrated into the ukrainian military. meanwhile, the neo nazi battalion has long been accused of atrocities. most recently, the brutal torture and murder of young women lived in marble. now warning you may find the following footage, disturbing sheila brought me

i've seen a mass graves left by these nationalist battalions as they were retreating from the oncoming donetta peoples. a republic ah militia, remember a pregnant, so a 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 a horrible, hard to watch, of course. so over the last a month and a half, the fighting has been taking place in murray pulled 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. pakistan's president has dissolved parliament after a vote of no confidence in prime minister in wrong con was rejected as unconstitutional protectors have taken to the streets in a show of support for the prime minister, amid fears of a constitutional crisis in

and they managed to make the switch which will take several years, then russia will have many other places to deliver its energy to the world. and that is it for me, this are i will be back in 37 minutes with a full infrastructure to stay with us or to international lou. ah, ah, in louisa hunter, russian state patrol narrative. i've tied as i'm phoning the most landscape div estimation mckindoe's house that i'm at 4. i made a coup in a 55 when. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy, one else calls with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine,

a lot of the get no difficulty getting a lot of the life me a fellow when you pulls with mm go welcome to wells fargo, depression general and military theories that 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 these 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 of discomfort. i'm now joined by hans kirk, later president of the international progress organization. dr. crippler is good to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. you're welcome. now let's 1st deal with a search and, or is a continuation of policies by all 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 her. the war is for politics by other means. if other forms of politics have failed, that means in particular if diplomacy has failed. but certainly, whatever may have been said since 1945 since the foundations of the united nations, the use of force by one state against another state, is still a kind of almost regular method of the conduct of international affairs. we are told quite often that this was supposed to have changed with the adoption of the united nations charter. but unfortunately, that is not true. and sorry for interrupting i just wanted to sort of narrow

our attention a little bit to the complaint that listing attention to now and i that, i mean, of course, the lens, ukraine. he's a very difficult decision for the russians. we will have to deal with the consequences of both oral and economic and political consequences for many years to combine the question i hear over here in oscar is whether it could have been avoided whether russia could have it. she wanted teams as it as a stand so goals without the use of military force. if we look back how things develop, it could have been avoided. if one would have implement those points that were agreed upon by both sides by both parties of the conflict. during

done english nations in mintz and in particular i mean the very precise.
