the social networks. it depicts a woman in a field living a russian soldiers throat with a sickle in a style resembling that of the terrorist group, islamic state. and ukraine's parliament celebrates the desecration of a burly memorial to soviets. soldiers as germany prevent russian officials from attending the anniversary of the liberation of the book involved. if not the concentration camp, we asked people around the globe. what they think about the history surrounding the liberation of such camps. the idea, it was the allied forces, the us, france, britain, and the soviet union. important to know these facts, what's happened and so forth is to be aware that many different people participated with by casting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. i'm certainly glad to who have you with us. right now,
12:02 am
the u. s. it says it's a quote, not in india's interest to import russian oil and weaponry. as washington increases, pressure on new delhi with an online summit between joe biden and indian at pm no ranger modi. 2 plus 2 talks also took place between the u. s. and indian defense ministers and top diplomats. they focused on the aftermath of the coven pandemic, pressing issues in the indo pacific region and the security situation in afghanistan, india's imports of russian, oil and weaponry, also appeared high on washington's agenda. the white house made clear the public after the talks that india should not increase its importance of russian. oil is the core. the president both conveyed that we are here to help them diversify their means of importing oil. again, our, the imports from the united states are already significant for much bigger than the imports that they get from russia. and we, of course, the president conveyed very clearly that it is not in their interest to increase
12:03 am
that well, it was quite an exhaustive meeting. many topics were discussed, but one recurring theme we heard from the us side of the discussion was us official telling india what they feel is in india, the interest that we just read gen saki, talking about what she thought was india's best interest. it's not a secret that india has greatly increased the amount of oil it's buying from russia, despite not violating us sanctions on russia. they are increasing the amount of oil they're buying from russia. us oil giants are not thrilled about that. and here's how india is foreign minister responded when asked about these words from the states and us feelings about what the country's best interest is. if you're looking at the energy purchase from russia, i would suggest that your attention should be focused on europe, which probably we do buy some energy which is necessary for our energy
12:04 am
security. but i suspect, looking at the figures, probably our total purchases for the month would be less than what europe doesn't and optimal. another concern of us leaders is the amount of weaponry that india is purchasing from russia. this point about half of the weapons india imports come from russia. and prior to the meeting, lloyd austin expressed that same theme that it was not in the interests of india to continue purchasing weapons from russia. now we also heard from antony blank and urging an end to these weapons deals, we continue to urge all countries to avoid major new transactions for russian weapon systems, particularly in light of what russia is doing to ukraine. so this seems to be a recurring theme. us leaders do not like india, making purchases from russia, whether it's oil, whether it's weapons, and they argue that they know back. and they know what is really in india's
12:05 am
economic interests will be seeing a further reaction to today's meeting. as the week goes on, a reporter at the indian newspapers, the hindu says, the russian fuel that india imports is only a drop in the bucket compared with what europe buys from moscow. there was a lot of criticism on the comments on india butch's off on trying to buy more of oil from sure to become shows effect. yeah, actually buys about one percent. what the, when moved was one of the, one to 2 percent for the entire oil from russia, compared to this, you know, brought has been percent more island gas from russia than what did the previous months. so again, when the highlights are one side of the criticism of this aspect of got a lot going on this issue or sitting in the bank of that again,
12:06 am
putting some context, i'm sure. blaze on the criticism to rest. but 60 percent of indian forces construed of russian equipment. i don't know, maybe because the pipeline. so for instance, there's $400.00 all for a good sense again, simon rifles short of our and so on my whole seat is of them. a lot of these are going to be cited, govern the greatest of negotiation, so that you know, dependence will continue. i mean, you sort of thing is just going on like, you know, more weight or different or, and i think that's just more on the meanwhile, opec is urging european leaders to show restraint. and there sanctions against moscow, as the oil cartel warned that a potential embargo on russian fuel would devastate international market. more details on our website, our dot com now the war and ukraine. the battle continues to rage in
12:07 am
marble, as don bass forces reported. they have taken control of the cities port. meanwhile, the russian military is advancing on the as of steel factory, a stronghold of ukrainian nationalist forces are teak, was wondering what i gosh, if reports from the ground. this several delivery of the other one does still conflict, which is the last frontier before the duffel go. the subway. ready nationalists of may there start with some that sort of follow. besides, these buildings are amongst the lost still held by ukrainian nationalists on the east bank of mary opal outside the industrial zone. there also a nest of radical nationalists, snipers, and machine gunners. hooley tanks can reliably dislodge these buildings.
12:08 am
fortunately are devoid of civilians. more than a 100 still held as human shields by nationalists have taken refuge in a nearby school school number 56. the tanks are careful not for fire at it. the people inside are among the last held hostage by ukrainian nationalists. if you were speaking about the situation in mary, you, paul, the residential parts of the city have been liberated, some individual pockets of resistance remain such as sleepers and other troops hiding in basements and multi story buildings. but it isn't over yet. fierce combat . most of it close quarters still rages across mario bull. unlike regular ukrainian military troops in the city who have surrendered in their hundreds, the nationalists show no such eagerness to end this. ah
12:09 am
oh with say no. let's go back with what you could see which these time use, replace it with doing a re re up line. take a short break here does a bed with the liberation of the last few residential areas. still held by radicals . a new phase will begin a full out assault on the bus as of steel and iron works complex. and they're, the nationalists will have no more civilians to hide behind. where i'd get the of
12:10 am
our tea for mary bull. ukrainian officials say russia allegedly used a chemical weapon in marble, citing reports by as all the nationalist forces about the russian military, supposedly using an unknown, toxic substance against ukrainian troops and civilians. a leader of the as of battalion said 3 people showed signs of chemical poisoning that did not appear fatal. britain. top diplomat was quick to react and said the claims were being investigated. the russian military has not commented on the allegations. ottawa has spent almost $900000000.00 on training, the ukranian military, which includes the infamous neo nazi as a battalion that despite earlier pledges by kennedy as defense minister that the country would not provide any support to the regiment which he described as a small group of quote rotten apples. now about 2000 members of the ukrainian national guard participated in the training as part of our was bid to
12:11 am
help strengthen its military photos posted by ukraine. military on social media. clearly show some soldiers wearing as of battalion patches provided, as they participated in the training with canadian service men. but ottawa has been distancing itself from the claims with its defense ministry saying it had been ukraine's responsibility to conduct checks of the soldiers who had participated. the canadian armed forces have never given any training whatsoever to members of the is off italian service, men participating and operation unifier, have always been ordered not to train with members of these of italian and not to have any contact with them. anti war activist kennestone says, canada is deliberately turning a blind eye to certain aspects of what's happening in ukraine. they had a policy of don't ask and don't tell since 2014. when the canadian government
12:12 am
cooperated and collaborated to overthrow the democratic lea elected government of ukraine. and bring and act who government, which was riddled with nazis. they, the canadian government has been creating a facade over this government trying to make it appear. it's a democratic government. they don't tell canadians about the, the war on the don bash and they don't tell him about the, the neo nazis that are in the militia and the security services. they are very much anti russian. and the canadian government is very much anti russian. so they've created a false narrative for 8 years, and they're sticking to it. unrestrained cruelty radicalism and extremism reminiscent of islamic state that's russia's reaction to a ukrainian propaganda video, calling for the killing of russian soldiers and being circulated on social media. the video depicts a woman in a field flitting, a russian soldiers throat with
12:13 am
a sickle and a style resembling that of the terrorist group is one state of these are screenshots as we cannot show you the complete footage because of its extremist content. the video makes its threats against russian soldiers in the ukranian language. with english subtitles, russia has begun a criminal investigation into the matter. this is not the 1st time that anti russian statements have turned gruesome in ukraine. a tv presenter earlier called for murdering russian children, saying he agreed with hitler's henchmen, adolf eichmann statement that even an enemy's kids should be killed and a ukrainian doctor who heads a mobile hospital organization said russian soldiers should be castrated. both of them later backtracked following public outrage, journalists, blogger, and historian, your bourgeois mileage, says there has been essentially no reaction from western media. what struck me about it is not. and this is going to sound weird, but it's not that somebody in ukraine might make this because i've seen some really horrible stuff coming out of there over the past 10 years. but there's nobody in
12:14 am
the western media, no one at all. even questioned, it even raised the said wait, i mean it guys, this is problematic. this is bad. know that i will not, nobody said anything about it because again, by this logic adopted in the west, nothing anybody in ukraine does can be wrong. and brushes can do no, right. and so there's an objectively existing incentives for ukrainian nationalists to create this kind of literally isis like propaganda. because they're not going to get cut off called out for it. nobody in the west, nobody in their eyes and sponsors. he's actually going to mind and that's why they're doing it, and maybe maybe they feel they've gotten a little too far this time. but again, there's been no backlash in the west. it's, it's just a, that's to me the truly atrocious part. because honestly, i've been expecting this kind of stuff from the followers to step on monday. but didn't i was i thought that there were decent people in the west who we call it out
12:15 am
and there don't seem to be any the white helmets, a controversial group that presents itself as a civil defense of the syrian opposition have made a video tutorial for ukraine with advice about how to deal with the barbara by russian forces and he will not now i'm home with him. we are offering tips to the ukrainian people and our colleagues in the civil defense in ukraine on how to deal with the russian bombing a skill that we have acquired over the past years during double strides in which we lost many of our colleagues lost the animal didn't match the white helmets founded by a former british army officer, call themselves a search and rescue group and work on the rebel controlled territories in syria. they have received a lot of publicity in the western establishment media for accusing the russian and syria military's of targeting civilians. but the organization has struggled with allegations that it's linked to islam if milton groups and has even participated in staging provocations in the syrian civil war.
12:16 am
with former un weapons inspector scott ritter says the white helmets are looking for ways to come back into the media spotlight. the notion that these rank amateur propagandists have anything to teach a professional fire rescue service of the sort that exists in ukraine today is absurd. one of the objectives here is to remind the world that may exist at one time they were the darlings of the west. they were o for oscar nominations. people were singing their praises. but after a time the reality of this odious organization became clear. being little more than
12:17 am
a western funded branch of al qaeda extremist jihad is a ok. and since that time, they've been left to rot it live province in syria. they're taking advantage of a situation, a tragedy in ukraine to try and bring attention to them at the expense of the suffering of ukrainian people, the suffering of russia. nothing that is being discussed here between the white helmets in ukraine has anything to do with resembling truth. it's purely a propagandistic exercise. ukraine's parliament has praised the vandalism of a berlin memorial to soviet troops who had fought not to is during world war 2. thank if now agrees with the spray painting like graffiti. the russians are, quote, the real fascists, ukraine's parliament reference to the phrases called on to the memorial, saying that ukrainian blood is on russia's hands and put in is stolen. the russian embassy in berlin has requested germany's foreign ministry to make sure there's a swift response to the vandalism,
12:18 am
including that the perpetrators should be made responsible for the damage russian and bell, russian officials were not allowed to attend a ceremony in germany last weekend, commemorating allied forces liberation of the book and walden nazi concentration camp. the museums administration says it took some measure because of russia's current military operation in ukraine deliberations. 77th anniversary was marked on sunday. the concentration camp was freed by the u. s. army towards the end of world war 2, acting on information supplied by polish and soviet prisoners. we asked people from around the world what they know about the liberation of the nazi concentration camps. the earlier it was the allied forces, the us in france, britain, in the soviet union, the red army liberated the concentration camps, primarily, i guess maybe perhaps the american a little bit. the soviet was held by lindley, there is no way that the british american army could delivery the concentration
12:19 am
camps without also having an army attacking from the east. at the same time, i think the american, in the old being liberated the country question comes, formed the west then maybe the washing on the, i'm not sure. some of the can 4 liberated by russians, either try america, found by british. it's important to know these fact what happened and it's important to be aware that to many different people to fate is the executive vice president of the racial center. think tank or rasmussen says that by not allowing russia and bella rues to attend the ceremony, germany is doing discredit to history. i think it's tragic when we have such an important event on history. and you're literally rewriting or you're wiping out a key component that history. but it's interesting that that the camp was liberated from the nazis. and now we've got
12:20 am
a key component of key countries that are that fought against that to support the liberation and that are trying to and are fighting, ultra national fashioned groups to day not invited kind of a big irony there. i think it's tragic that we've, that we've taken current events and political agendas to, to manipulate the path and, and actually do discredit. i think for the memory of the liberation of the camp and, and the victory as western powers ramp up, their accusations of russian involvement in alleged killings of civilians in the suburb of butcher with british prime minister force johnson. going as far as to say, it looks like genocide. i'm afraid when you look at what's happening in boucher with the revelations that we're seeing from what fusion has done in in ukraine
12:21 am
which doesn't look far sort of genocide. to me. you think government is against recognizing certain aspects of its colonial history as genocide, including massacres and mass starvation in india. let's take a look at some of those cases. ah, in my hate indians, they'll be sleep people, the firemen with their own feet for breeding like me. i just starting from india. if you look at the diet process of british colonization, when they do that by the gods they killed and magic,
12:22 am
the red indians fear their magic, but they didn't sell tomonica. they killed and magical people in south africa whom they didn't do. we take a slave to america and do slaves, all of the in 1943 and been god judges created that bad moment. men made it because the japanese and other forces were coming the band all the baltimore went in that area and abandoned the board transportation led to badly affecting the food transportation. and about a 1000000 people in been all died of starvation. i was just, you know, before accusing others. look at yourself in the me that what you watch, what you have done to the world and what you are doing to the work. the problem is english still thinks that it has to be there,
12:23 am
but it still things voters think still that he's driving. he's still bias. i've been telling the mr. boris, you don't have gotten, you know, to exploit the international monetary fund has paved the way for easier funding to ukraine, setting up an account to raise donations. but there are questions about where the money will end up. as ukraine has well documented, reputation as one of the europe's most cropped countries are chief. rachel blevins has more the notable to see this new trend of western countries looking for additional ways to show their support for ukraine. and there have been increasing calls for international financial institutions like the i m f to step in and cancel ukraine's debt. however, the i m f has yet to sign on for that kind of a plan. and that could notably be because the ukrainian government owes the i in that more than $13000000000.00 with more than $2000000000.00 in debt payments due
12:24 am
this year alone. however, the i m f said that they plan on creating a new account so that donors can send their funds to ukraine, which is notably one of the most corrupt countries in the world. the government of canada has proposed up to $1000000000.00 canadian dollars in the recent federal budget to be dispersed to ukraine through the administered account. and the account is available for use by any other members, as well as inter governmental agencies and organizations who wish to use it as a vehicle to provide financial assistance to ukraine. so how much of that money could be embezzled and is the i m f aware of the concerns? well, the short answer there is yes. in fact, just one year ago, the i m f. and now that it would be putting a pause on funding to ukraine because of concerns over rampant corruption and those problems surround both ukrainian president zalinski and some of his close friends with the i m. f. even admitting back in 2019 that he would have to put a stop to loans dispersement in the country because of the fact that there were
12:25 am
more than $15000000000.00 in stolen funds. and the i m f, notably admitted that it didn't have confidence that zalinski or his government would recover money. now back in 2016 at the i m f also said that it would deny request for a full bill out from ukraine with the funds on presidents saying that kind of action would not be considered until the corruption stopped. i am concerned about ukraine slope progress in improving governance and fighting corruption and reducing the influence of vested interests in policy making, without just substantial new effort to invigorate governance reforms and fight corruption. it is hard to see how the i m. s supported program can continue and be successful. wednesday is calling the i am asked to ignore all of those concerns and who instead spend more money. he appears to be calling on the world to forget about the billions of dollars in stolen money. and to do that,
12:26 am
just as many of them have forgotten about the presence of new, not the militias in his own military when they agreed to send more weapon. however, while there have been many western governments that have been quick to comply, the i m f has not yet forgotten about just how much money they are owed by ukraine . that does it for me. i will be back in just about 34 minutes with another full infrastructure news. this is our international say with, [000:00:00;00]
12:27 am
with mm welcome to the card. when it comes to the russian turkish relationship, one place that they needed to comes to mind is keep your friends close and enemies even closer. having fought more wars between them than any other pair of countries in your asia. moscow and anchor i once again involved in a very intricate dance over ukraine. what is truck is tag there? well, to discuss, i'm now joined by you so far. i returned to carlo of the turkish army and the security analyst, midtown. that is great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you
12:28 am
very much. i get it from your recent writing that you'll find rushes actions in ukraine. pretty distasteful. you called it the returned oak russian tsar isn't suggesting that it was more about gobbling up the land and then securing the country see national interest. yeah, turkish troops for a number of years have been present in syria, which is also so we're in state, your army, a corporation. there are despite the very clear jack objections of the sitting government. what is the difference here been defending an interest in syria and russia defending it's interesting in ukraine 30 did not start the inmate syria because there are numerous terrorist attacks missionaries certain by everyone. that is not that are not an issue. this is a certain issue,
12:29 am
a accepted by everyone 30 is being attacked by p k y p g forces from the border. for this isn't the turkish operations on the more little syria is limited on the 2025, you know, meet their stuff from florida in order to secure the area and turkish troops are not securing the area about the sodium ports. us now are securing area which called themselves as it pretty story an army. for this reason, the turkish operations, let's say on and just getting the border security with a very limited dep inside the sodium border, not an operation. you know, the car killer. i left for the mosque was on the other side. but what is it that i'm sure you remember? and i remember that for sure is a workers fund and i cover that more from the ground issue that the for now the trick is present. now to present limited to about, i think, $15000.00 trucks and it's mostly alongside the truck is going to be much larger.
12:30 am
and as you know, i'm sure you heard of the russian allegation supported by the satellite images jerky was running a lot of well, what should i say contraband oil operations in that country. its presence is presence. not only a military with commercial presence and political presence used to be much larger in the french, don't you think so, jackie hm. operations, other than the mid 3 parish inside syria is also limited areas that are located near by the border. so the main difference between them is about securing the border. for example, let's give you an analogy at moscow. say is that if you crane part of the space they nato, then the nato armaments including the emanation santa reference systems.
12:31 am
neil me as close as 500 kilometers to moscow and it is
