ah, for headline stories this our as final bundles, re, john and mario both russian trips continue to evacuate civilians from residential buildings and hospitals previously controlled by ukrainian forces. survivors claim they were used us human shield, find nationalism. my wife told me she would never go back to the hospital. she says people were shot their in their backs. a i'm so sorry, it's so hard to speak. they answered that they needed to stop the enemy and that we civilians were nothing to them. martinez gets access to audio recordings of alleged conversations, all of ukrainian security forces of foreign journalists near kiya that contradict than mainstream media cons, that russian forces massacre of billions there versus foreign minister claims.

washington is pushing key to continue fighting despite ongoing piece thoughts. we go through the sizes of europeans, protests against the use weapon ship and steve crane with some members of the european parliament, openly saying the block has become an instrument of nato e. u. instead of promoting peace and acting in the interest of the people of europe has become a tool of nato and the military industrial complex. ah . from moscow to the world, this is our take good to have you with us today. my name's, you know, new the siege of maria ball appears to be entering its final phase with ukrainian nationalists forces allegedly hold up in a steel plant in the city. russian forces, along with done yet military troops are currently evacuating civilians from

a local hospital. russian defense ministry cleans more than a 100 people had been held out the site by the neo nazi a's off battalion. russian troops conducted more than 10 trips to the hospital to evacuate all the injured, including 16 children evacuation claim, the ukrainian units, use them as human shoes. omaha duncan glanced my wife told me that a ukrainian tank came and was shooting at a residential house. i have family there 2 kids. they were hiding in the basement like mice with me now. i don't know where they are. my wife told me she would never go back to the hospital. she says people were shot there in their backs . ready to book. i'm so sorry, it's so hard to speak with both of them on the, on the 2nd of march, the as av battalion fired at my apartment on the 5th floor. i thought it,

but they destroyed the city. the hospital, you know, the soldiers were running past. i told them there are a lot of children and injured. they answered that they needed to stop the enemy and that we civilians were nothing to them to me. but now when we have been evacuated, we want to thank the russian army for we don't know it out. this is our troops told us to get ready and get out of there. they took the house. i saw a woman whose son was shot in the eye by a ukrainian sniper. why did they do it? why the wolves, ovula ha civilians continue to be evacuated from the area. the apparent final battles in this city region are senior correspondent, murat, gusty of his covering. the conflict from the ground with most of mary jo, bull's urban areas liberated, that these apartment blocks and suburbs housing fire here has changed civilians out of the way. artillery has let loose with abandon here on the outskirts of variable

a battery of so proposed how to the far in the way it ukrainian military positions or masses positions inside the as alpha iron and steel works block, which is where thousands of nationalism are making their last stab as off militants have lost their capacity for count a battery. far. these russian and allied forces no longer have to maneuver off to each volley, which gives them an advantage. accuracy that i bought them for thought we are launching, strikes on his av steel factory on the nationalists, the as av battalion. we use pinpoint strikes. we don't put local residents or infrastructure in danger because these are our homes in our families. while artillery shakes the ground, the very air vibrates from a very different sort of weapon. behind my back, ah,

the dazzling wasn't multiple will, it will to system of just thought it's ukrainian nationalist positions. again, when the industrial zones have marable, you just one 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 onset of the battle. ukrainian nationalists forbids any sort of civilian evacuation, even shot at civilians trying to flee to the disgust of russian than the allied forces. amyris on who's 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 shields on 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 soldiers duty is to save people to protect them. at the end of the day, artillery is a tool with limited use. leveling maribelle is not an option. russian forces have come to liberated, not destroy it, which means this battle will be settled. the hard way will be the contest between infantry and very nearly face to face. more i'd gazda of r t for mario bull. can know their story to bring you to day r t has gotten access to linked to audio conversations, allegedly recorded near kia, where russian troops had been stationed. now the contradict the ukrainian government's version of the events that saw russia blamed for the deliberate killing of civilians. let's listen to. one of the recordings is equivalent to our

troops kicked out the russians. okay. and the troops went further to the territorial defense force went in, and they looted the village. they were alluding houses and shooting, taking everything. they looted absolutely, everything correspond, maria finished her has join me in this shooting, talk through this. hi, marcia. so the 1st audio recording is what appears to be a conversation between ukrainian security service members. can take us through that . yeah, we're going to play another bit for you in a bit. but yes, the 1st audio is a conversation between people of ukraine's security service known as s b u, and one of them is apparent the on the ground in the little town of co, heidi, that's not far from the capital key of around 100 kilometers west of it and what is he basically doing? he's describing what he saw there, what he discovered they, well, why don't know, walking around maybe talking to resident, but that's unlikely because again, it's

a little village and it has been on the fierce fight and it fell under the control the russian army at the beginning of moscow special military operation, and around a month later in the march, it was captured by your praise forces and shows the off to that so called territorial defense forces. they are volunteer battalions within ukraine's armed forces. they came in and this man from the audio he's describing their behavior in their actions while they were there. and you will hear it yourself now and you just heard a bit, right? he sounds the prize from what he found out and before we play another base, i have to tell you that there is another a town mentioned in the audio. the town for molly. no, it's not far from heidi. and apparently these, these people, this battalion came from that plain. let's take another listen. you could look as your vehicle we'll do here from march 24th to april. 3rd,

after the russians were driven out of sheer, the territorial defense force came in from mowing the will in shortly, during these days, they were looting. they looted everything they could be. they kicked in the doors, they kicked everything over safes were open. cars were taken away, they stuffed the cars with everything they found and took everything out. it turns out that the musk of ites did not take anything but ours went in and completely plundered everything already. there wasn't anything here already because of the fighting. no houses were left even what was left was completely looted by our own. what was the one issue if we're interested in, is that that this man compares russian troops with these people from territorial defense. and later in this conversation on the one from the ground also asks his colleagues whether these crimes and this behavior by these people should be documented and he gets the answer. yes, they should be file and 8. so maybe we're gonna hear any like, i don't know,

official statement from key of side. so there were a lot of foreign journalists in the area where russian troops were stationed out. i believe there was one conversation in english, at least, isn't there. what is known about that? yeah, this one is even more interest than i have to say. and you mentioned that there were many journalists, but we have to understand that there were only particular western journalists apart from ukraine and on the ground there. so these audio is a conversation between western journalist it's in english, and again, one of them is on the ground in another town of john co, which is also like 60 kilo mirrors west of kiev on the same road as the town of butcher that we have been here in a lot in the news recently. you remember bought that off course, but at further to the west and we can understand that this man, this journalist was sent there of course, to report, but particularly to try to find, to, to find proofs of bad behavior. all the crimes committed by the russian troops,

and you will now hear that he's, he actually fails to find any evidence to that. let's take a look. so basically just explain wayne bull, the young face further on from boot check. it's been show the p food pathologies missing whatever. there's no bodies in the streets, a call. i've just spoken to the police forensic experts that he hasn't seen. they think that probably people are under the rubble or whatever they've been killed in the shelling evidence for any right. have you to hear? told one of the gen, a french guy said that he had been killed by shelling but so in some other we haven't found that. but no excuses, nothing like that. so i don't know what the prosecutor was going on about to be honest. it's true, this place is far more shilling damage than butcher. but in terms of extra additional killings, there's no evidence at all. and in fact that some of the old ladies in spoken to

said the russian trees are really nice of them. they gave them food, water interest then actually set to say if you look through news reports coming right now out of the town of, but i don't know that these journalists mentioned, you will say a completely different picture. you will read about piles of dead bodies lying on the streets again, like in the town of and you will hear accusations and you will hear about mass killings committed by the russian troops. but these journeys says there is no evidence to that at all. and sometimes, i mean, it is journalists, i have a feeling that we live in parallel realities. i just myself returned from guns, whereas spend weeks covering this conflict. and i was surprised sometimes to hear reports about where i was from my west and colleagues, you know, because it was not true and i just don't understand why it's happening. because

when to send that we have to be extra cautious with information where we cover wars and military conflicts because force reports can actually hurt. and now we see again coming back to the town of butcher, we hear about sanctions and like punishment, you know, and you know, all kind of calls towards russia because they have already made a conclusion that russian troops committed lots of crimes. they before, even any investigation. so just, just to briefly then sum up and how do these recordings ship up against the main street media narrative and what was happening is source, i guess, how do the recordings actually ship off against what was what the mainstream media are seeing and you went through it there, but in particular here here, but you know, the story is about another town, but it is similar to what happened in butcher. again, these towns are on the road that has been on the fierce fighting for weeks weeks

and of course we hear about ruins. we hear about sailings, and we will hear about destroy buildings and bus. ok, the strongly says, but in terms of deliberately killing civilians and mass graves or something like that, he didn't find any evidence. so, but you know, what's, what's interesting, it would be interesting to hear the report that based journalist would, you know, send on air after this conversation. so what would he actually say? so i think what they are trying to do is they are trying to, to find something that actually didn't happen. great, thank you very much for coming on talking us through all of our teams. maria from austin. russia is foreign minister, sir. good luck. ralph has cooled hopes of a breakthrough in peace negotiations with ukraine, claiming kias retreated from its all promises. was system beula to the assembled

talk and in response to the sprouting of realism in the ukrainian position. and our forces conducted the escalation in the directions of care and china him as a gesture of goodwill, and to help with the movement towards an agreement and response. there was a provocation in butcher, which is immediately used by the west to announce a new batch of sanctions, as well as atrocities against russia, prisoners of war by ukrainian neo nazis ceased. when the while following the dunbar talks, russia said the negotiations had been constructive. ukraine's proposals also confirmed its desire for a neutral nucular free status. the russian defense ministry promised to reduce its military activity. iran key of internal halls. both russia and ukraine were to postpone decisions on the future status of crimea, and don boss, sir, gala roth believes kiev shift and position mean someone else is pulling the strings . but the need to go to specify the inability to negotiate. once again characterize is the true intention of care and its line of delaying and even undermining the

negotiations through departure from the understanding is reached. we see this as a manifestation of the fact that the key of regime is controlled by washington and its allies, who are pushing president lensky to continue hostilities for those in. we will use the recent article in the washington post claims some, nate, so countries want to see ukrainians fighting until the end and a proxy war against moscow. president biden has been open up, i'd arming and training ukrainians in the fight against russia. our congress person ah same. what have you done? and he basically go, graham is or what the hell your degree done? why do you think you're able to fight? we've trained them and we've given them a weapons, fatuous happen. 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. 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 u. s. has already handed millions of dollars worth of weaponry to key f, but it's now going one step further. it's resurrecting the world war 2 era lend lease bill to more effectively lend out military equipment to ukraine la, west. busy also has accused russia of many alleged atrocities against ukrainian civilians, including those in butcher that city. but there's been little coverage of caves, failure to evacuate people to safety. the ukrainian president's own advisor alexi arrest of which claimed they knew by the approaching war, but didn't reveal anything to citizens, wasn't war. oh, so it was possible to tell the ukrainians that russia would attack when, when you, for sure that he would. but these would have provoked master flow of 12 to 16000000 refugees. they would have blocked all the roads and then the army would not have

reached the defense areas and the inhabitants would have to be crushed with tanks and shot well retired u. s. or force lieutenant colonel, according petoskey, is not convinced. nato actually wants a peaceful resolution. nato feels it's all they can do is to a mass forces and, and that kind of conduct a blocking action in case russia is intending to go further. you know, to the west, i'm not sure what they're actually thinking in this regard, but it certainly doesn't seem to be promoting, promoting a peaceful resolution. and it doesn't seem to be geared towards helping the ukrainian people. there are some thoughts that the united states wants to keep russia there, as long as it can to engage a battle on the territory of ukraine. and again, at great cost to a lot of people who live there in order to kind of bond russia down to kind of show

that nato mean something. it looks like the west, which is supposed to be a beacon of liberty, and free trade is not incorporating those concepts into it. so it's predicted strategy for a defense against rush, i guess you would call it nickos. been holding a meeting of its foreign ministers in brussels, but even ahead of the gathering the alliance is chief in stilton burg. already made clear more military support will be heading your cranes way. ortiz kill him. up in the house. been following development. in his remarks, the head of the nato meeting, one particular theme stood out, which was that nato does not seek to have a direct confrontation with russia while there is support for ukraine coming from nato countries. they don't want the nato alliance to go head to head with the russian federation. here's some of what he said, what they dollars towards support ukraine at the same time natal. so main

responsibility is to protect and defend a loss on the on to prevent this or conflict from escalating to full fridge war between a nato on the, on the russia, on the reason why we have hold it all week. so the deployed $40000.00 troops on those directed to command or to use them for 2 lines and also added more a troops older national command, including a more used troops in europe. and this presence is to help prevent escalation of the conflict. now, when speaking, the nato chief said that the ideal and the conflict would simply be russia withdrawing its forces from ukraine. ah, however, he said that's very unlikely. and in fact, they are expecting a new russian offensive. soon as russian forces are currently regrouping and fighting goes on in the don das region, now he did talk about the humanitarian cost of the conflict. he did blame russia

for the situation in ukraine. eyes is echoing a lot of the statements we're hearing from western leaders, members, the nato alliance. here's what he did describing the con, if the war is going to drag wrong, i'm belong than the risk is 1st and foremost, for the people of ukraine, who will suffer more, who will see more damage, more death and more destruction or so this is the 1st and foremost of charges you for them on the responsibility of impressed them put into end this war. now the nato chief also expressed concerns about growing co duration between russia and china, and the need for there to be better cyber security measures to protect computer systems, etc. protect data. now at this point, we also did hear concerns about the humanitarian situation that were expressed blaming the crisis and the situation on russia. people are looking ahead the meeting and seeing what will come out of it. but so far, the remarks that we've heard kind of seem to be setting the tone for what we may be

hearing in the future translations are much more trouble for ukraine. because if we look at the preston, i mean the clues in the name you lend, you lease what we do, find the solve and ask them back. clearly if you use it or if it gets destroyed on the battlefield, you'll have to pay for it is the plan. and it really speaks to reflect that the u. s. likes to make the nations of which it fights its conflicts, pay for the was which it encourages them to have, essentially is trying to monetize it's. it's giving over weaponry to the koreans, 1st of the american washington does not want the ukrainians to reach a deal with the russians once quite miles. they want this war to last for as long as possible. and for that reason, it's encouraging that ukraine is to take the war options instead of the negotiation option. but on the way the u. s. one, any weapons that it gives to be paid for by those same ukrainians who fall in full line that they should fight robin, discuss the future. meanwhile, there is

a growing voice among european stressing not there governments should not be sending weapons to ukraine in italy, for instance, the hash tag not in my name, is trending on twitter. the actions of this government of shame are not done in my name and do not represent my will. not even that of many other italians who have to suffer from these criminals. let's say no to sending weapons to ukraine. this is not the way to ask putin for peace. italy has failed. it could have been the one carrying out negotiations, and instead you are sending weapons. it's a bad diplomacy from italy. let's avoid throwing fuel on the fire or we'll take big risks to or europe corresponded. charlotte dubin ski ticks us through. not what those calling on their governments not to escalate the conflict or sing, namely the beer, the ones being hit by b functions against bosco. there's been some anger in europe over that military assistance has been given to ukraine. it's fine with some protests that have been

held in certain countries like bulgaria and also in italy. now interfere, we're talking about a few 100 protest is outside the parliament on wednesday. you were unhappy that the politicians were discussing these plans to send military aid to ukraine without war unfolding and then into or in, in italy. protestors were unhappy that their prime minister mater druggie was there to sign a new idea of fool add the possibility of the city to become a base for manufacturing equipment for native and in the european parliament. such actions have also been criticized by some m. p. 's including any piece, including this independent member for ireland. we cannot ignore the role of nato and the e u instead of promoting peace and acting in the interests of the people of europe, ukrainians to you, citizens. and yes, the russian citizens to has become

a tool of nato and the military industrial complex class day went on to describe the worn ukraine as unjust. but she also said that the sanctions, as a result of that would, that have been plastered on russia by the e. u and other western nations, or what is causing the high energy prices, inflation. and also she described what it is as being a catastrophic ad drop in living standards. and those sorts of warnings over concerns about things getting tougher also coming from some pretty top european politicians to market lecture, which i'm to pick her up, were facing tremendously high inflation. of course, it affects many people. we're all going to get a little poorer in the future. it's really going to happen. we have to be clear about it. their issues over the cost of living in the crisis surrounding that spilled on to the streets of athens or when say, so, 10000 people i took to the streets,

let the government know that they are unhappy with some of the ramifications of that war in ukraine. and some people on the streets describing society in greece is being on its knees partly as a result of this. meanwhile, we know that the e u is thrashing out this f fit set of packages of sanctions against russia over the war. and ukraine. technical issues of so far delayed the block and finding a unanimous approval for what the next step is at. but the house been discussion that this could include an outright ban on oil and coal, thought if the e u is wanting to still shows that it packs a punch. and it's going to have a difficult time doing that because it does have to get all leaders to agree unanimously to whatever those sanction packages are staying in europe or in italian m e p. i said there is no justification for a not right bomb on russian energy imports. doubt that i do get a look at the book. it took it. i heard that we are talking about

a complete embargo on rush and gas, which would be absolutely unacceptable for our economy. and this is based on the facts reported by the ukranian government, about boucher, but they are already serious doubts about their veracity or related theme. it's being reported at least 2 indian oil refineries plan to buy less soda oil than usual in may opting instead for russian crude. you deli, base reporter, roulette and you a reports. last one week, we have seen some interesting developments, particularly after the wizard, also russia one, but this does not grow for to be now tools indian refiners, refiners companies, are supposed to be not going to buy a lawyer from saudi arabia. in fact, they were due by a very less beginning me this year. this sort of development gum would be

announcement from the previous knowledge is import runcle, which has raised the crude oil prices affecting countries in the nation from the salvation market. this sort of development not only in the up, but also ensures that probably now need more on supply from russia is going to use russia. don't get oil rises. india has already bought 16000000 bottles from russia already. and it's important, the oil, russia to the stance almost want to be the same as it was not feel when you draw the combat isn't exposed to the she also room $2100000000.00 in april, february of 202122 from the $2650000000.00 report in the last financial. yes. so did is significant in reason to treat as well did this this

so basically comes at a time when it's in the office is pressure from the united states. the deputy national security of the sink are doing your daily last year just to speak last week. i'm sorry you had had a know sanctions for, for indiana. this sort of oppression continues for even today. as white houses press 3 and also sanctioned in stock. you reiterated by institutions sanction on in the us. what delete did make clear to his counterparts during this visit was that we don't believe it's in india's interest to accelerate or increase imports of fresh energy and other commodities. considering these developments or a significant neutral because in the us trade supply for an oil comes at a time, then i also facing some sort of confusion in the oil prices to reduce b. b, i saw one b, i v d,

the high level this high and the price of oil is not as high as you as germany and other countries. however, us, what they have cleverly done is the united states as white don, it's own imports of russian. good oil in the fine products before the u. s. don, take effect tanks to its iran sanctions. u. s. is petroleum exports to india now make up 15 percent of bilateral merchandise trade while threatening india with consequences for buying russian oil. us has quietly ramped up its impulse of russian crude and refined products before u. s. bond takes effect. the other one mr. has sort of said that the mystic patrol, right in terms of percentage increase globally, was just about one dent. but in the us to ministers, including it's one of as ministers about jessica and.
