the russian defense ministry has released interviews with residents of the devastated city. one of them claims they were shot by a soft forces walking around the children's play area on other states. they knew not secret as being directly targeting them and using people as human shields. yes ma'am. the massive shot at the local population. there was a well at the bakery where people went for water. they shot a bunch of people. bodies were lying around right around the wells. a young girl rode to school, was shot in the back, fell down dead. the military took away the cause and deliberately shot, all the car shorted our house. the house was smashed to pieces, completely burned down with one says their houses were bombed, they went the water, they was shot. as if it is ration,

then you put them to me really? they were in the 100 house, settled back that is ny posed or whatever. what these are, they been that house and then they reached our house. they shot from there, then there. and then the children god, and they sat down and they usually walk around the young literally, she's behind defense hiding. and how do they feel about the fact that people live here and they shoot from there waiting for on this to show how good we are. and how fast they are when we went to the bridge, they fired at us until we head. it was probably a self with put on back because the screening army has not been there for a long time. something else that i think it's important to show here, russian military doctors have saved the life of a man being hailed as a local hero in the ukrainian city of is you. that's after he shielded several children and be not on a walk when they were reportedly shell by nationalists forces. oh my god,

i help children hide from rates and bombings. i accompany them to the shelter. 234 girls still remained and it has just begun. i shielded the girls with my body, but this is how we turned out for myself. there were a bright flashes, the nationalist fired at willa. my son was given a bad market school because he speaks russian. every one is intimidated. every one, once russian, when russian tanks were coming, every one waved and greeted them. okay, another line here at moscow has evidence of imminent false flag atrocities inside ukraine, which will be blamed on russia. that's according to the latest statement from the defense ministry. my name is currently the preparation of such provocations involving civilians has been completed in the cities of can no top entrust d n a in the sumi region as well as in board the younger and katie, eugene k. in the key of region. we know for sure that the key of regime is preparing provocative materials about the death of civilians allegedly at the hands

of the russian army. considering these developments, we would like to warn the countries of the so called, civilized west, led by the united states that russia has acquired operational evidence about upcoming terrible crimes of the key of regime prepared with the pitch in full approval of western representatives. really reduce, you will be reported killings in the ukrainian city of butcher the international reaction to them or an attempt to de real moscow's peace talks with key, no doubt is what russia's foreign minister has said. the disturbing footage of what's said to be civilians lying dead in the city streets was released by ukraine over the weekend and quickly circulated through the media key of his rushes to blame. moscow strongly denies the allegation. the sydney propagate discrimination was up of that you. western and ukrainian propaganda has exclusively been inflating hysteria around the video, which as we understand, was filmed by the ukrainian military in the city of boucher in the key of reaching

the frank orchestration. and to see, to learn about alleged to war. crimes of the russian military has been proven. many times. this beckons the question really, what is the reasons for this outright provocations? we tend to think that the reason lies in the desire to find an excuse to disrupt the ongoing negotiations, just about one of a few. schofield, sir, gala, for off all the purported atrocities in butcher were discussed in death during a un security council session. on tuesday, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski accuse russian soldiers of war crimes and colds on the u. n. to bring moscow quote, to justice, echoing the knowledge of coming from american and british officials. now the butcher footage was published by ukrainian officials as well as media outlets. the pictures were released after the russian army withdrew and ukrainian forces had entered the area or senior corresponding rock as it picks up the story. what happened and butcher seems to entirely depend on what different sides want to have

happened and butcher. what actually happened seems to be of little concern. ukraine did that salads accuse russia, russia and its allies, you grain every day. the news about horror stories becomes more and more delusional . however, the key of fake machine won't stop in order to humanize russia and denigrate it. as much as possible, the mad animals from the nationalist battalions and territorial defense forces are ready to kill their own civilians. at the end of march, russian forces quickly pulled out of the area. on the 31st, the mayor of butcher, in a video announced that the town had been re captured by ukrainian troops. he did mention any corpses, which, according to keith's version, already listed the streets flu, he threw his dear friends dear buchan community march 31st. we'll go down in the history our town as the day of its liberation from russian forces. ukrainian troops

sent to the town soon after. grizzly images flooded, social media, alleged and disputed satellites, images, which western media claim to have been shot more than a week before. suddenly showed bodies everywhere. some near impact craters, butcher had been on the ceaseless ukrainian military shelling, even after russian forces had left. the united states to liberally glossed over the father after the withdrawal of russian troops, the own force of ukraine shall the beecher city. many of the corpses, little round butcher, also wore white arm bands controversial in and of itself. ukraine claims that russian forces shot dead civilians who co operated with russia, who apparently showed support. some of the victims had their hands tied again with white cloth, ukrainian. nationalists themselves had commented on the hated arm band saying that

they justified shooting at any one wearing them. these arm bands are used by the invaders themselves as an identification signed during fighting. therefore, ukrainian defenders may confuse civilians with russian invaders. factor in the russian military rations were also scattered around many of the bodies indicating that they had been given them by russian troops. just before and this is what kia claims they shot them dead mentioning is ukraine's collaboration law enacted recently and ukrainian civilian who is deemed to have cooperated with russian troops and presumably worn a white arm band faces 15 years in jail. that is, if they survive arrest by ukrainian troops under these nonsensical circumstances. what hoop does the un school for a fair investigation have? it is vital that all efforts are made to ensure that are independent and effective

investigations into what happened in between. so truth justice and accountability as well as reparations and remedy for victims on their families. fair words in unfair times, given the war and the unprecedented level of propaganda and this information and the media. many have already made up their minds. the pictures from butcher testified to the incredible brutality of the russian leadership in dos who follow its propaganda, facts, truths, evidence and culpability. a things of a now dead, the era in this new age and motion and interests to establish guilt and atrocities, sadly have become sickening spectacles where the judges, he or she who shouts, loudest, forensic experts, edward to monmouth studied the images from butcher. he believes it's impossible to draw any specific conclusions and even more so to blame russia when the pictures themselves re, is so many unanswered questions. kim cook room,

there is only one conclusion to be drawn from the pictures that were presented to me. the dates of death, of the deceased or different. the discrepancy between the place where the bodies were discovered in the nature of the burned corpses is confusing to me. the varying degrees of decomposition and under known weather conditions suggests that these people died not on the same day. otherwise, the degree of post mortem changes in all bodies would not be so different. we can know the story to bring you today. china has condemned a joint effort by the u. s. britain industry lead to develop nuclear capable. hyper sonic weapons such as missiles are harder to defend against because of their speed at their low altitude flight. beyond the scope of ground, based readers by beijing was responding to a joint statement by the members of the soon labeled office military part. we committed to commence new trilateral cooperation on hypersonic encounter hypersonic

and electronic warfare capabilities, as well as to expand information sharing and to deepen cooperation on defense innovation. anyone who does not want to see the ukrainian crisis should refrain from doing things which may lead the other parts of the world into a crisis like this. as the chinese saying goes, if you do not like it, do not impose it against others. the 3 arcus members also said they're pleased with the progress on building nuclear powered submarines for history. the it's the 1st time the u. s. has shared such advance technology with another country. apart from the u. k. the trilateral pact also aims to expand other defense and security capabilities, but china has previously described dorcas as quote and extremely irresponsible and narrow minded group, which it considers of potential threat. professor benjamin ciao and asia analyst on to expert believes orcus is looking to expand in the pacific. in the same way, nato has expanded across europe. is jason and other anglo saxon alliance that could

endanger the world. the hawkers could be views as an asian version of natal. we have all seen the situation in ukraine. expansion of nato is not a good news to many countries, arguably, not even good to the you. the, you did not want a war in europe, but the nato is led by the u. s. the u. u u. that does not have a say on that. it's, you know, a social yeah. the recent weakening of china, australia relationship is just forcing china to plan on had to cooperate with countries like solomon islands at the doorstep of austria. it, you know, people have to make preemptive moves sometimes. and, you know, the u. s. quick feet could succeed in developing this weapons in a few years. the broader picture is dated august and april australia for supersonic weapons and nuclear submarines. and, but he takes a tech k or 2 for, for,

for the weapons who fully developed. however, he might be screwing up the party so to speak, aisha asked ins and all sure to have been going pretty fast. we've good relationship and will be the center of growth, dis, stuckey. and then why do we certainly have to have a and all his i, why do we need to initiate defense raise now? some nato countries would prefer ukraine to keep fighting until the last month, stumbling rather than pen any peace agreements soon. that's according to a report in the washington post. it's claiming not all countries in the alliance bach piece talks between moscow and keith. in all nato's chief un stokeland berg as outlined plans for the further arming of ukraine, including heavy weaponry. i also expect talk ministers when the meat are today and tomorrow we'll discuss how we can further support ukraine or alice or providing both for anti tanker and to air or air defense systems. her but also different

kinds of advanced her weapon systems and also both light and the heavier weapon systems to ukraine. it is de facto a western policy and no one should be ashamed of it. this is a war of russia's choosing, and as long as ukrainians are willing to make them pay for their decision, we should help them. by hope they will be hard to steal. i support maximum military support to maximum sanctions. russia must lose and criminals should standing court . meanwhile, the u. s. defense secretary has claimed that washington send yet more weaponry to ukraine, namely, a variant of the switchable drone equipped with anti armor warheads. other western states are also providing care with weapons, while german officials have reportedly claimed they have run out of arms to send all that comes and made continued russia ukraine. peace talks less now get the thoughts of shaheen. rather independent analysts, an commentator on international,

secure it see 1st joining us from pakistan. welcome to you. it's an interesting development. this shade, the u. s. has a nice they will send drones with anti armor warheads. the key at now is that last as an offensive weapon on. if so, of course, it would mean nato has changed its policy to provide only defense of support what the alliance was developed in the 1st place for look. first of all, thank you for having me. these rooms are actually kamikaze suicide gone. so there are classified as an offensive weapon because they have a very signature armor as you personnel role. so what these drones will do is they will increase attrition against the russian forces in your brain, which will in turn escalate the conflict in your brain. because then russia will also make itself to an escalator, 3 pos which will in turn i know,

you know, destroy the purpose of the negotiations that ukraine and russia are in, at the moment. so these are gone swept ins, which are basically artificial intelligence powered drones. they are likely to escalate the conflict and not be escalated. this is the issue, isn't it? you've hit the very knob of it. you've got drones being sent by western governments at the same time saying they want peace in the country. and ukraine are drones going to bring about a peace deal any sooner, or is that going to be the opposite? just winner from this is going to be the u. s. military industrial complex. if you look at what's going on, donald trump was trying to get all of natal nato allies and eastern european countries to increase the military spending 2 percent of the g d p. but they didn't, they didn't much, they didn't do that right now. there's a war in ukraine, there's a conflict and ukraine. and all of those natal allied countries are increasing the

military by default it's working out perfectly for the americans because what's gonna happen is that all of that money that the eastern europeans and other natal members are going to dish out in those to spending most of it is going to go to milton complex and they are going to win. certainly, that's something that's not going to happen is it's not going to help the p stocks . i mean piece talks in your brain are a simple affair. if you're critically neutrality and gives a shorts, just a rush that will not be part to any large scale future conflict. and it will not act as a staging grounds, any future aggression days. russia, which is a fair martin, to be honest from a security perspective. there would be no conflict and you'll create any more. i mean, russia has taken disposition and other countries who have abstained from both of you and have the same position that there are legitimacy consent, especially the chief of army stock. and vargas on speaking to starbucks dollar student very clearly has legitimate security concerns. and they have to be addressed. if those concerns are addressed prophy stalks to a 3rd party mediation,

there would be no need. but what we are seeing is injection and infusion of highly advanced weaponry into the hands of regular and irregular forces. and without in mind, how did you take not to article in the washington post who are alleging that nato members, some of them believe that the ukrainians should essentially fight and die, keep going rather than strike at peace agreement. oh, this is look, this is, this is a typical colonial mentality. i mean, the americans expect other people to fight their wars. this is exactly what happened and honest on, you know, they, they, the, and re, kissinger used to claim that the, what the warrant want. it's almost fought, why f one blood, but what with our weapons and americans ended up becoming the only superpower the world in the world. the stabilized because if you look at off for this fall of the soviet union after the bipolar system in the world elapsed,

there has been project and every order of the world, the world hasn't become a peaceful place off of that. so i think what they want to the premium is the same exact fun model, if i may call it so, because they want to be ukrainian to continue fighting, to weaken russia. because russia as much is a bigger threat to, to nature where they perceive it as opposed to the ukrainians. i mean, you train can quite easily enter a meaningful negotiations. brokered by 3rd party innovation. and they can accept the conflict gracefully without any territorial loss. it is still possible that that ukraine will not suffer any major category of loss. and russia will benefit greatly from it because they will have their teeth that will stop the eastward expansion of nato, which is a primary primary threat or, or russian security calculus. so it will be in nashik librium for both sides. what ukrainians? continuing to fight a war that that is clearly

a war of attrition at this point is not going to solve anything for ukraine. shaheed always a pleasure to have you on the program. thanks for your time today. he ran to independent on the list and commentator and international security refers now the united states says imposed new sanctions against russian banks and citizens including latimer putin's daughters. at least according to washington. the latest sanctions on blacklist the 2 of russia's biggest banks, spar bank and alpha, think the u. s. there's also bond and the american investment in the russian economy, in the latest mood to cut off moscow's access to the dollar. the white hi say, 2 thirds of the russian banking sector have now been completely barred from the financial markets. the new sanctions also include measures against russian foreign minister circuit love. rob's family plus prime minister, mikael schuster, and his predecessor. dimitri met me last, the european union has finalized its own latest. now

a 5th botch of sanctions against moscow, but some you members are warning about the potential blow back, including hungry, newly reelected prime minister victor, or yes sir. yeah. awesome. i think the most important contributing factor of the european economic crisis is the sets of sanctions that we've imposed on russia. we are going to have to pay the price for that as well. and we have to prepare to actually pay the price of this. and to manage the european economic prices. well, i think from the sanctions hasn't been given the green light, but more details of what could be in it have been emerging, including the names of individuals who are expected to be in that new round of sanctions. they include the head. ringback of russia's biggest bank, the am alan minium oligarch. this is all a get a pasco, the director general of russia's 3rd largest, all producer, as well as present putin's 2 daughters from his 1st marriage. now if they are on

that list, they will be subjected to potential phrases of their assets and travel bands. now, other measures include russian and bell russian ships being banned from docking in any port in europe. there will be some exceptions to that, and that will include ships, it carry humanitarian aid, energy, all food. there's also expected to be the halting of transactions, all transactions full, full key russian banks, as well as a ban on russian coal. and even possibly it's being discussed, russian oil. now baltic member states like lithuania, well the e u to have an all out ban on all types of russian energy. the e is a whole impulse around 40 percent of its natural gas from russia. some countries have moved dependency than others, and particularly germany, which has a dependency rate of around 55 percent. but it seems that berlin, vienna,

and budapest of being particularly vocal in protesting against the idea of an old rock band, a particularly on natural gas, hungary also breaking the leadership, saying that it's prepared to pay for russian gas in rubles, it wouldn't be a problem for us to paint roubles if the russians want to be paid in roubles, we will pay them and roubles. victor open also saying hungry isn't normally in agreement with sanctions, but had allowed them so far in the interests of the you working together. we've also just heard from germany at the country, faces in new poverty due to rising energy prices, and that gives you a sense as to why some european member states are not keen to instigate this all out ban on russia natural gas. however, lithuania is unhappy with the current package of what's being suggested, saying that it is just not adequate enough. call for banks,

a ban on ports and borders with exceptions is not really inadequate. sanctions package to the massacres that are being uncovered. the feeble response is just an invitation for more atrocities. these new sanctions by the you are also being drawn up in coordination with the white house. it too has been putting pressure on the you to announce that panel russian energy imports. washington. meanwhile. ringback is also looking for an outright ban on all investment in russia. the biggest part of our objective here is to deplete the resources that putin has to continue his war against ukraine. this will include a ban on all new investment in rushing increase sanctions on financial institutions and state owned enterprises in russian sanctions on russian government officials and their family members. meanwhile, president zalinski, ukraine continues to put pressure on western countries. he's been speaking on wednesday at the irish palm and demanding that there are even more rigid sanctions

. he said that he just couldn't tolerate any more indecisiveness. after everything the russian troops had done, it does seem though, while this 5th round of sanctions will be given the green light, it will still be in disappointment to zalinski, who wants all ties from the west, cut with russia. nelson long from the shanghai center for international studies. think tank believes the sanctions against russia and fair on those at smaller countries, less powerful countries that rely so much on their energy needs from moscow. sanctions don't really work or it's actually an expression of hostility and, and also it's a declaration of economic war which is bound to receive resistance and counter attack. so in that case, in that sense, for example, of the sanctions against russia. because of this ongoing conflict in ukraine,

what are the results? let's look at what europe is facing. now. old energy prices are going up. food prices are going up as well. because russia is one of the biggest export because of energy of agricultural commodities and the food. so this is come to productive actually it doesn't help to solve the situation. it is absolutely unfair for, for many countries in europe actually to, to suffer from what, so what's going all, because people are unprepared because so many countries are being, europe are relying on russia for energy supply. and then with this sanctions going all what our european is going to to fair in the

coming winter. will sanctions have also restricted russia's ability to pay off its international debts in foreign currencies. and its meant for the 1st time, moscow settle almost $650000000.00 worth of euro bonds in roubles. russia attempted to make its bond payment on march 16th in dollars. but because of sanctions, creditors weren't able to receive them. dr. moscow, 30 days to come up with an alternative way to pay off the debt of the country with default, and the attempt to pay in roubles, chrome and spokesperson dmitri pest golf said if there is a default, it would only be technical and created artificially. russia has all the necessary resources to settle its debts. you know that a significant amount of our currency reserves have been suspended in foreign countries. if payment in roubles is not possible, then theoretically, that would mean a default. but it would be an artificially created default. there are no

preconditions for a proper default to happen. dmitri pest golf, while there are 2 types of default just to point out financial and technical financial default occurs when the borrower has not made a scheduled payment. a technical default is when an agreement is violated or cannot be reached while with more sanctions being slapped on the russian economy. europe faces new repercussions. this time concerning the metals industry. the spice global producers giving reassurance is that they can fill the gap if more russian resources are banned, as r t double quarter explained, it's not quite straightforward. the latest victim of the west, anti russian sanctions, the metal industry nichol prices are going through the roof over fears that russia will cut off its supply in retaliation or face more sanctions. nevertheless, some in the west seem confident enough that they can make up for the difference. western australia is the world's 5th biggest producer of nickel and as well place

to meet the strong global demand for nickel. unfortunately, for those people, the facts don't share their optimism without russian nickel. the west may have a very hard time lowering its carbon footprint since the metal is essential to the production of batteries and electric vehicles. and sticking with gas powered cars only means that they'll be more dependent on russian gas and oil. it's no wonder experts think australia will fall far short of replacing russia in the metal markets. i do not think that there is any mind that could match the pure nickel production of russia, but latter, i'd oars are abundant, both in the philippines and indonesia that can support the fair nickel production, which is a pure nickel substitute used for stainless steel. nickel concentrates and other nickel products that can be used for battery production, along with nickel titanium is also under threat. the aerospace marine and auto industries just can't do without it. and it's russia that supplies air bus with half of its total consumption. and boeing with a 3rd, even if the west doesn't, outright ban titanium imports from russia. just block.
