you are losing context is largely absent and that's on purpose. ah, has ukrainian president bought him? is the landscape compared russian troops to islamic state terrorists? we look at which side has really resorted to help from fundamentals behind my back with the system i have just for par corresponded rod d, a report from the city of mount or you pull at the buffalo for the city and it's final phase a meeting of the un security counselors convened by russia to discuss us funded by a laptop race ukraine. does us denies any wrongdoing and

hungry take the heads from the you with both of those tickets, cut off from gray from the you funding? i made a legit concerns over rule of law in the country. the sanctions against hungary or not democratic. they punish it because they didn't know that we don't do it. they say ah, coming to alive from our headquarters here in moscow. you're watching r t international. just going for him here in the russian capital. mine is peter scott. i'm already joining us from. welcome to the program. ukrainian president followed him. is there lensky said during his speech to the un security council on tuesday. the russian troops were no different from isis. this comes as the new york times reports of ukraine sided with volunteer force made up of isis sympathizes. the question was raised by the european parliament ortiz maria financial

investigates. she if has compared russia with terrorists from the so called a la mc state. speaking at the un security council earlier this week, president zalinski said russia is no different from the notorious terra group, a digital volley. the cutoff limbs cut the throats. women were raped and killed and for the children, the tongues were pulled out only because the crust did not hear what he wanted to hear from them. how is it different from what these lemming states harris are doing? the occupied territories? not similar, but worse, according to ukraine's foreign minister. what we've seen in recent weeks is that russia is much worse than isis when it comes to its atrocities and massacres. serious accusations are made before any independent investigation or any solid evidence of russia's actions apart from delayed, disturbing, the dears from the ground that moscow insists a fake warning. they'll be more to come for what the zone and little monster,

according to confirmed information on the evening of april. 4th in the town of mush, june 23 kilometers northwest of kiev little service men of the 72nd ukrainian main center for psychological operations conducted another stage killing of civilians allegedly caused by the violent actions of the russian armed forces for subsequent distribution through western media. and initiative similar events have now been organized by the ukrainian special services in sumi can no top and other cities. speaking about i says care seems to know they subject rather well. ukraine is law known as a safe haven for islamic stage. he had his back in 2015. the new york times reported their presidents in easton ukraine. they were fighting on ki of side. we like to fight the russians, said the chechen who refused to give his real name. we always fight the russians. the war for us never ended. we never ran from our war with russia, and we never will. according to different estimates their number could amount to hundreds,

including ukrainians who joined isis in syria or iraq. and also for him to hottest fighter is sick in a place to hide that same year. a hateful is mateo saline tried to ring base you to the european parliament to date the ukrainian authorities have made no attempt to deny the reports and have neither disowned these fundamentalist ice as combatants, nor sought to remove them from territory. ukraine has been claiming as its own, given the serious danger posed by isis in islamic terrorism in general. does the vice president hi representative, not consider it appropriate to rethink or stance regarding the conflict between ukraine and russia and engage in closer dialogue with russia? with a view to containing this fundamentalist threat, keith didn't seem to be bothered. islamic terrorism is not typical for our country . that is why the ukrainian special services do not focus on it. they act only on the basis of the fact. if another state asks to extradite a person or when information about the militant falls into their hands. so when in

2019, one of his learning states, key figures, namely it's deputy minister, a war known as, as shiny of georgia, was detained in key of after leaving happily in ukraine for years. it came as a bitter surprise that the arrest of one of his la mc state's top commanders here and kiev right under our noses, would surely suggest many of the world's most dangerous men. do think of ukraine as a safe house. corruption in all state bodies. the police courts, prosecutors opens doors to abuse. it seems the ices key refers to when describing russia has something ukraine is already more than familiar with itself. so nato countries would rather see ukraine focus on fighting till the war is one rather than sign a peace agreements in the near future. that's according to reports in the washington post. the piece claims,

not all countries in the lines bike ongoing piece talks between moscow and here. meanwhile, nato secretary general, you install some burg outline plans for the further arming of ukraine, including heavy weaponry. i also expect ministers when they meet today and tomorrow we'll discuss how we can further support ukraine allies are providing both anti tank and to air or air defense systems, but also different kinds of advanced weapons systems and also both light and heavier weapon systems to ukraine. our congress person saying what have you done? and he basically go look at mr. what do you think we've done? why do you think you're able to fight wave, train them, and we've given them a weapons. that's what's happened. it is de facto a western policy, and no one should be ashamed of it. this is a war of rushes choosing, and as long as you craniums are willing to make them pay for their decision,

we should help them. i hope they will be hard to steal. i support maximum military support to maximum sanctions. russia must lose, and criminals should standing court. the united states who really put ukraine up to this over the last 8 years. they put them on a, a deliberate collision course with russia. and i think that they fully intend to have ukraine fight until, until the last ukrainian until everything has been spent. every drop of blood that can be spilled is spelled and i think they make that abundantly clear their support by shipping weapons and money and facilitating the war effort in every possible way . i think they're trying to harm ukrainians and russia, the whole nature of the united states relationship with ukraine since the u. s. a top over through the elected ukrainian government in 2014 has been one of self interest in washington. they most certainly do not want the, they want,

they want russia to pay a price for standing up against us encroachment and nato encroachment. washington is said to send more weapons ukraine, such as the switchblade drone acquits with unseen on the warheads. us secretary of state antony blink. and also said ukraine would soon have a 10 until thank systems for every russian. thank and those are the western states also supply weapons. the key of german officials have reported the claim. they run out of arms to send all this comes amid continued russia, ukraine, peace source and international security affairs commentators. shaheed rather believes swamping the country. the weapons could lead to more civilian casualties. is brahms are actually comic causes suicide gone. so they are classified as an offensive weapon because they have a very signature and t armor su personnel role. so what these drones will do is they will increase attrition against the russian forces in your crane,

which will in turn escalate the conflict in your brain because then russia will also commit itself to an escalade. p pos. they want the ukrainians to continue fighting to weaken russia, because russia as much, is a biggest threat to, to nato as they perceive it, as opposed to the ukrainian bio weapons to your brain is not going to help bring down the conflict. what it is going to do is the infusion of advanced weaponry like these kamikaze. busy drones americans are providing the s missiles provided by the british or french entities. miss hall is provided by the british and the americans . they are going to only increase a christian against russian forces. it will lead to controlled escalation where there will be a lot of casualties. and there will be, there will be no pre per se, or our graceful exit for your korean artifice. conflicts. so remember, this is your premium lives at risk,

that is ukranian territory at risk of this american or british treat miss. so it is for your premium leadership to decide what they want to do, what their own future. ah. on wednesday, russia convene to un security council meeting to discuss us funded bio labs and ukraine ortiz, caleb hoping can take us through that the meeting was held at the un headquarters in new. ready york in the eco sock chamber and at the meeting we heard from the russian ministry of defense describing a lot of information. they have about nice bio labs in your brain, how they operate, and how they have impacted the local population of the country. this is some of what we heard when the russian ministry of the zan shoes. according to the ministry of foreign affairs of china and pentagon controls, $336.00 labs in 30 stage outside of the national progress.

such more than i thought, 5 things been sort of defend who are located throughout the territories bordering in russia. and now there were some allies of the united states that did what they usually do and respond to any talk of these bio labs and simply dismissed the entire thing as a vast russian fabrication here some allies of the united states. yet again, we are witnessing the russian federations misuse of the united nation, and it's privileged position within it. as platform for this information. we regret that russia is once again using the united nations as a platform for this information. now the united states and the united kingdom made a point of not attending the media. and we heard russian officials express somewhat disappointments about the fact that seems like there is

a big effort to selectively look over the information that russia is presented to just desperately tried to argue that these labs, that somehow they don't exist or somehow these labs don't pose any threat to public health when the information presented by the russian ministry of defense speaks for itself. but there are many countries around the world that share rushes concerned that these bio labs don't only exist in ukraine. they're in many other country than potential health rates. risks associated with them. the fact that military kind of activities could be associated with these labs is something that many people around the world are concerned about. while us officials seem to argue it's not important and accuse anyone who brings it up of being a crazy conspiracy theorist on the new york times released an article on wednesday describing how twitter plans to suppress any unpopular opinions on the rush. ukraine conflicts on sooner. former marine corps intelligence officers, scott ritter, was burned by the sides for posting at sweet, accusing ukrainians of committing war crimes in boucher and he wasn't the only one

suspended. now we're joined live by the man himself, scott ritter marine corps intelligence officer. welcome to the international scotts, we've thought of what reasons were given for your been on twitter? well, the tweet basically accused the ukrainian national police of being the perpetrators of the crimes that everybody seen in butch. um, i based this assessment on an analysis of the totality of factual data available. and then i also criticized the president joe biden for labeling russia as a, as the perpetrator of war crimes, et cetera. and i said that, you know, by this facilitating a lie and that makes him a war criminal. i'm in short, i was accused of a harassing people. i guess that means i was harassing the ukrainian national police no harassing

a president biden. and i was also accused of of voicing threats to people threatening the ukrainian national police and joe biden. of course, as absurd in the extreme i, i just think that this tweet touched a nerve on the whatever the thought police process that currently exists in twitter is and they, they, they, they, they chose to suspend me more kind of precedent. do you think switzer is setting by suspending people on the pops? don't have to share the same mainstream opinions of us. well, look as an american, i feel deeply in the feel deeply about the issue of freedom of speech. and i know twitter is a private platform and they can lease it the way they see fit. but then, you know, the twitter, you know, came into prominence as a social media platform where people could freely exchange ideas. and democracy dies when citizens are no longer able to engage, in fact, based debate,

discussion and dialogue. and twitter had been a platform that, that facilitated this. sadly, twitter is no longer such a platform as american democracy is paying the price to be satisfied. the russian government has also impose restrictions on sets and social media outlets in the country. but when it comes to the level of impacts that such social media platforms like with have do, do you think it's similar to when it comes to shaping the war narrative as the of a nation state? i don't know. i mean, i can say this, i wrote a particular tweet a couple about a week ago that i discussed the tried to put the russian military campaign in, in some sort historical and doctoral context. and overnight it got more than 2000000 other impacts. i guess 2000000 people saw it were impacted by. that's

a lot. and it was, you know, and, and, and other people have similar impact. and, you know, some twitter has the ability to impact millions of people, you know, in informed their, their position. and there's very few media outlets, they have a similar ability to impact and a governments would i be able to to impact people in that level. so twitter is a powerful platform and other social media videos are they said they sent me off. now leave it on for the the horace in butcher itself. what impact do you think they will have on the ongoing negotiations between russia and ukraine? you know, i can't speak for the russian government, but i, i don't see how the russian government can negotiate with ukraine. right now ukraine lives in a fantasy world of the purpose of which is to denigrate rush and bring harm to russia. ok. yeah. how can you negotiate with somebody that's not a, that's not

a faithful partner. um, i think, you know, this could backfire and ukraine and in cause this special military operation to, to, to, you know, become more constraining on the future of ukraine. you know, the criminals exist in ukrainian government right now. these are criminals who are linked with the nazi ideology. are they permeate to every aspect of the government . and this is being manifested before our eyes butcher is a living example. and if the russian government is serious about the knots vacation, as i assume they are, you can't negotiate with the people you plan to eliminate a politically or physically. so, i think this will backfire on ukraine. i think this will only pardon russia's resolves to, to eliminate the problem of nazi ideology and you train once and for all the president zalinski has accused rochelle of using good site. it's not dissimilar to

isis. and again, it has to be sent to this point of the russian m o. d has also you accused ukraine of similar sort of tactics. what sort of emotional response do you think this will get from the west than this in the potential galvanizing of weston support? for ukraine. well, i think again just come back to the example of my suspension from twitter. and we see that there is a concerted effort on the part of the west, the government's and their, their media collaborators to fully embrace and promulgate the propaganda coming from the ukranian government. so that there is a one sided shaping of, of information. and that's designed to enrage a population so that they, they support not only continuing to arm ukraine, but also to bear whatever cost in terms of domestic belt

tightening because of the impact of sanctions. so, you know, this, this is going to have a, a major impact. this is, this is, you know, we're getting into, you know, total war type mentality where, you know, no, no descent is a, this is basically the weapon is ation of george w bush's in, from a statement. you're either with us or against us. there's no room for debate, dialogue or discussion. it's only a dichotomy that was caught with a former marine corps intelligence office. thank you very much for joining us. they are not the remy ah, a large group of civilians, including more than a 100 children, have been evacuated from the city of matthew paul lots, amid continued 5th fighting in the area. the as of battalion, another ukrainian nationalist bosses have been accused of inhuman treatment of locals. the russian defense ministry is published interviews with the residents of

the devastated 50. 1 of them claims they were targeted by as of fights, as in a children's play area, was, is accused the group of using civilians as human shields. when the massive shot in 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 shown in the back and 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 house is what? they went, the water they was shot and went to fiddle race and then you put them to me and really they were in the 100 house, settled back that night. ppos or whatever, what these are, they then that house and then they reached our house. they shot from there,

then there. and then the children gone 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 that are 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 had to. it was probably a self with ombang because the screening army has not been there for a long time. he's a senior correspondent, rod garcia, visited a russian artillery battalion in the city of mount tuple and bringing the latest from the city with most of mary, you polls urban areas liberated that these apartment blocks and suburbs. housing fighting here has changed civilians out of the way artillery has let loose with abandon the here holly

outskirts of variable, a battery of cell proposal. how to the far in the way it ukrainian military positions or masses positions inside the as alpha iron and steel works plant, which is where thousands of nationalists are making their last stab. as off militants have lost their capacity for counter battery fly. these russian and allied forces no longer have to maneuver off to each volume, which gives them an advantage. accuracy that i blip amplewood, we are launching, strikes on the is of steel factory on the nationalists. the is our battalion. we use pinpoint strikes. we don't get local residents or infrastructure in danger because these are our homes in our families. you, while artillery shakes the ground, very air vibrates from a very different sort of weapon. behind my back, ah,

that's good. what's it multiple? well it was a system of just thought it's ukrainian nationalist positions again when the industrial zones have maribelle legal, just one. busy salvo in this goes on, day and night. russian grad, emerald systems have been unleashed at areas where civilians are no longer present . ah sh, chill g. a must still be careful. the vast industrial complex lays at the heart of the city misses are intolerable from the on of the battle. ukrainian nationalists forbids any sort of civilian evacuation, even shot at civilians trying to flee to the disgust of russian and allied forces. when we are also new to the we tried to evacuate people out of the city, but they've been forced to stay by the local militants who would do such

a thing. who would use people as human shield on the fascists? perhaps there is a crisis here. people have no electricity, no food, no water, while we see it, and it's just not right. every soldier's duty is to save people to protect them. at the end of the day, artillery is a tool with limited use. lebanon variable is not an option. russian forces have come to liberated, not to show it, which means this battle will be settled the hard way, with a bitter contest between infantry and very nearly face to face. more at gazda of archie, from mario bull. ah, the european commission has moved to activate a mechanism that could isolate budapest from e u. funding. this comes right after prime minister, vito all buns recent bi election and was followed by hungry making decisions of pay for russian gas in rubles,

as well as voice and concerns about potential blow bike from anti russian sanctions . no more closer, it wouldn't be a problem for us to pay and roubles if the russians want to be paid in roubles, we will pay them in re bull, cynthia. or i think the most important contributing factor of the european economic crisis is the set of sanctions that we have 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. and the piece called on the e u commission to sanction hungry over concerns about the rule of law and democracy . the mechanism which follows several years of tension between budapest and brussels could potentially result in suspended voting rights for hungry and hungarians. we spoke to felt the country is being punished for its noncompliance with the u. as the assembly, it's against what the wants and well we don't represent the use values and we don't comply the way they would like us to. and we don't do what they say. let them know

the sanctions against hungary are not democratic. we are a small nation and we are vulnerable to others or the punishes because it annoys that we just do as they say. while sanctions have restricted russia's ability to pay off its international debts in foreign currencies. moscow says he's transferred almost $650000000.00 of euro bond payments in roubles. russia attempted to make its bond payments on march, the 16th in dollars bought credits as weren't able to receive it due to sanctions. that gave moscow 30 days to come up with an alternative way to pay off the debt or risk a default criminal spokesperson damage guest. gov said if there is a default, it would only be technical and created artificially. a jim, 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. there are 2 different types of defaults, regular and technical. the former occurs when the boring control misses a scheduled payments. and the technical default takes place when a contract is violated, all can't be fulfilled. well, to discuss this issue, we can cross live now. so economy taught hallways told welcome to the program. now the currently said before that, even if they'll be cuts out of that dollar reserves, they will pay that debts between roubles. and yesterday we did see a rouble payments. now, can you explain, in layman's terms, if this is an actual payments or not, what the significance of it is, please? well, i think it's an actual payment. and a lesson, russia has a lot of supplies, and a lot of, you know, they control a 3rd of the world's wheat. they control the natural gas and goes to the,

to germany in the u. so they've got ways to pay if they go on an exam rural. the ruble are certainly considered currency or trying to do value the ruble. they're trying to force the fall by russia with the sanctions. but the problem here is that unless the united states floods the market with oil, which is what they should be doing, then the rest of their sanctions are all nonsense. it will have no immediate effect on russia. so until king of the united states, the white house says the regime regime change is not their goal, but they do wish to cripple risk the economy on sugar default. but as a default, if you can pay, but you're forced to do so in another currency or not knowing this, i won't be a default. i mean, it's like, as in russia has a lot of natural resources. i've got gold, they've got all kinds of ways to pay and you know, what if they do default right now they're, they're basically, you know, they're only doing business now with people. there basically are countries that are

forced to do business with them. if they want to have heat or oil, and if they want to have food. so i think that, you know, again, the way this whole thing has been handled and all parties has not been the way to handle this mess to begin with. and, you know, russia will, will be able to sustain and tell we all prices come down. and that happens then russia could have a serious problem. but in jo oil becomes an issue or a factor. it will not be a problem because again, they've got food, they've got the oil, they've got gold, they've got money. poland prime minister recently came out and used the rubles resilience as an example of sanctions being ineffective. do you think this is true and why is the ruble being so resilient at the moment? is it because of the relatively high oil price? well, i think it's, it's really and because i all price is also resilient because russia demanded payment for natural gas in the form of roubles. so they are forcing other countries

to user currency, which is keeping the currency market afloat and keeping a song we saw, we saw the initial big dip in the value of currency before it now is had a german rally back from those earlier lowe's. and i think what you're seeing is it russian because they can draw the natural gas market in that part of the world. and because the united states cannot fulfill with their liquid, my dad will get who they will not grow for, rasa holds all the card. so it has to be in this particular environment. so the sanction being in pose are worthless until until the price of oil becomes an effect for russia and these end until they become non ex for their the sanctions are going to be absolutely nothing. well, there's been quite a lot of spill over an economic turn turmoil around the world amid the war in.
