a with knobs in india's interest. that's how washington describes india's import of russian arms and oil. as the u. s. rams up pressure on new delhi during a summer, between the 2 countries. intensive fighting continues in the battle from are you both as dumbass forces? now say they have taken control of the cities port. meanwhile, our team follows a tank battle near the city. as of a field factory, a strong hold of ukrainian nationalist troops with ukrainian propaganda video calling for the killing of russian troops spreads on social networks. it depicts a woman in a field sitting a russian soldiers throat, with a sickle in

a style resembling that of the terrace group is donica state from them, and ukraine's parliament celebrates the desecration of a berlin memorial to soviet soldiers as germany prevents russian officials from attending the anniversary of the liberation of the book and walden nazi concentration camp. we asked people around the globe, what they think about the history surrounding deliberation of such camps. the it was the allied forces, the us, france, britain, in the soviet union. important to know these fact what's happened and 4th is to be aware that many different people participated with casting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas is certainly glad to have you with us right now. the us says it's quote, not in india's interest to import russian oil and weaponry as washington in uses

pressure on new deli, with an online summit between joe biden and indian p. m, the red ramadi. 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 covert pandemic, pressing issues in the, in the pacific region. and the security situation in afghanistan, india, as imports of russian oil and weaponry, also appeared high on washington's agenda. the white house made clear to the public after the talks that india should not increase its importance of russia oil. this is the core. the president both conveyed that we are here to help them diversify their means of importing oil. again, are the imports in 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 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 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 security. but i suspect, looking at the figures, probably total purchases for the month would be less than what europe doesn't. and

up to 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 anthony 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 best. and they know what is really in india's economic interests will be seeing a further reaction to today's meeting. as the week goes on,

a reporter at the indian newspaper, the hindu says, the russian fuel that india imports is only a drop in the bucket compared with what you're a buys from moscow. there are a lot of criticism on the comments on india purchase order. they're going to buy you some more of oil from sure to discount it shows you actually buys about one percent. what the, when moved was 11 to 2 percent for the entire oil from russia, compared to this, you know, brought 15 percent more island gas from russia than what did the previous month. so again, when the highlights are one sided because there's a lot of a lot lot lot going on this issue or sitting in the bank of wind. so that again, putting some new content to believe this under the rest. but 60 percent of indian

forces construed of russian equipment and there are maybe different deals to the pipeline. so for instance, there's $0.44 to get signed rifles shortly. and so on my whole seat of them that a lot of these are going to be fighting with government. they will take greatest is of negotiation. so that oh, but i didn't know that dependence will continue. i mean, you start helping you just going on like, you know, moving to a different bio and i think that's just the meanwhile, opec is urging european leaders to show restraint in their sanctions against moscow . as the oil cartel warned that a potential embargo on russian fuel would devastate international markets, more details on our website, r t dot com. when you can now, the battle continues to rage in marble. as don bass forces reported,

they have taken control of the cities port. meanwhile, the russian military is advancing on the as of steele factory, a strong hold of ukrainian nationalist forces are t correspondent regarding reports from the ground. this several delivery of the of ours was docile. corporate, which is the last frontier before the duffel. go ahead. ready nationalists of may. there start with the trauma. fall of the size. these buildings are amongst the lost still held by ukrainian nationalists on the east bank of mary opal outside the industrial zone. they are also a nest of radical nationalists, snipers, and machine guns. hooley tanks could reliably dislodge these buildings. 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 to far at it. the people inside are among the last held hostage by ukrainian nationalists. or if you were speaking about the situation in mary u. par the residential parts of the city have been liberated. some individual pockets of resistance remain, such as snipers and other troops hiding in basements and multi story buildings. but it isn't over yet. fierce combat, most of its 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

this with he'll be back with. you could see with which these tide is replace. it is once withdrawing to the reopen resupply and take a short break that's in here. those are then with the liberation of the last few residential areas. still held by radicals. a new phase will begin a full out assault on the vast as of steel and iron works complex. and they're, the nationalists will have new more civilians to hide behind. more i'd gas the of r t from mario both ukrainian officials say russia allegedly used

a chemical weapon in marble, citing reports by as of nationalist forces about the russian military, supposedly using an unknown, toxic substance against ukrainian troops and civilians. a leader of the, as of a battalion, said 3 people showed signs of chemical poisoning that did not appear fatal. britton's top diplomat was quick to react and fed the claims were being investigated. the russian military has not commented on the allegations as of yet 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 canada 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. about 2000 members of the ukrainian national guard, participated in the training as part of ottawa's bid to help give strength and it's

military photos posted by ukraine's military on social media. clearly show some soldiers wearing as a battalion, patches provided, as they participate in the training with canadian service men, but thought of what has been distancing itself from the claims with its defense ministry thing. 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 days off italian service men participating, an operation unifier have always been ordered, not to train with members of these up italian and not to have any contact with them . anti war activists. kennestone says, canada is deliberately turning a blind eye to certain aspects of what's happening and you can they had a policy of don't ask and don't tell since 2014. when the canadian government cooperated and collaborated to overthrow the democratic lee 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. ready 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 on restrained 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 young woman in a field slitting a russian soldiers throat with a sickle style resembling that of the terrorist group. islam ec state. these are

screenshots, as we cannot show you the complete for each because of its full extreme. its content video makes its threats against russian soldiers in ukrainian language. with english subtitles, russia has begun a criminal investigation into the matter. now this is not the 1st time that anti russian statements have turned gruesome in ukraine. t. v presenter, earlier called for murdering russian children, saying he agreed with hitler's henchmen, it off islands, 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. journalist blogger and historian, near boucher 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 the over the past 10 years. but that nobody in the

western media, no one at all, even questioned it even raised it said wait, i mean it guys, this is problematic. this is bad that 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 got 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 for. but didn't i was i thought that there were decent people in the west. we call it

out and there don't seem to be any the white helmets, a controversial group that presents itself as they fill. civil defense of the syrian opposition have made a video tutorial for ukraine. with advice about how to deal with bombardment by russian forces. in the manner home with the we are offering tips to the ukranian people and our colleagues in the civil defense in ukraine on how to deal with the russian bombing skill that we have acquired over the past years during double strike in which we lost many of our colleagues in the white helmet founded by a former british army officer call themselves a rescue in search rescue group, excuse me, and work on rebel controlled territory in syria. they have received a lot of publicity in the western establishment media for accusing the russian and syrian military's of targeting civilians. but the organization has struggled with allegations that it's linked to is the mist milton groups and has even participated

in staging publications in the syrian civil war. with from on this we can now cross live to alley risk, a political commentator and a contributor for the middle east focused news site. all monitor. thanks for being with us here on our international i guess my basic question 1st off is, why are the white helmets getting involved with the ukraine conflict? well, i think there's 2 possible scenarios. one is that the white helmets wants to show their enthusiasm, wants to express foremost, solidarity with the accordions or with certain extremist ukrainian elements. that's one side of the story. another side of the story is that maybe the western

intelligence is in the process of building up i why the home it's version or a ukrainian went home, it's thursday and that is something which the later of the next republic had referred to back in 2019, so it's either one of those 2 versions of the story. you have to remember that, and all of these are one of what is taking place a bulbs around the narrative. the narrative is a key key aspect of a card conflict as to whether determines narrative maybe could have an upper hand or could make more accusations and try to present themselves as making credible accusations. so based upon this, i think that it's not far fetched or proven, of course, but it's always possible that the western intelligence is in the process of building. i want helmets in your grand, similar to that which is present in syria to try and thought it's narrative and try and get more credibility to any cause ations it could make to the russian

government or competing, any kind of atrocities, open all attacks, etc. so incident, well, i was just going to say no to wars are the same. could the white helmets advice presented in its training tutorial actually come in useful for ukrainian forces? you know, i'm not sure about that about becoming useful, but i think they could become useful in terms of trying to stage or make fact videos or trying to fabricate them. so i think in up particular perspective, yes, it could be useful because when you, when you want to fabricate it and so i don't think that the difference in the terrain or the general war environment makes a big difference. so in that particular aspect that they could learn maybe from the there is in serial. they want, how much on how to fabricate how to use some equipment to try and give the impression that there's more credibility. but if you allow me just one more moment

to speak about, because i read about these reports, there were some reports referring to this particular story. the reports were there in british or in other european media. you know, they continue this process of demonizing russia and presenting the white helmets and those in ukraine as being a heroes. so, you know, it strikes me in the general coverage of this, of these events which are taking place is how they describe the vision between good guys and bad guys. and try to get the impression that what is taking place as a fight between all good an auto evil. and this is being this coverage is being applied in the why, how much story is being applied generally also in how the west is portraying this conflict. now russia was invited by the syrian government to come in as a stabilizing force. there, with russia busy fighting in ukraine. could syrian rebel groups escalate their fight against the syrian government military and their country?

ah, that's always possible. that hasn't occurred to me by the way, but that's an interesting too interesting perspective. you raise arm it's. it's a possibility. as i said, i don't think it's certain. ah, but i think another may be point to another danger, in my opinion, is if they try and yours isis or certain extremists in syria and send them to ukraine to fight side by side with the other right wing extremists like the us of battalion. that would prove chris to be a disaster scenario because what you'd have then is you to have right when extremists along with were hobby will self. he sure heard he called on what you want extremist, isis alti, the fighting alongside with the us on battalion. and that would prove to be really, really disastrous. and for me, i think that is the danger that that could happen as, especially because you seem to have certain western leaders in western voices who want ah, you, crane as they say,

your crane to prevail at all. costs regardless of what it takes. so if you take those statements into consideration, if you take the general anti russian sentiments, which hyperbolic in the west, into consideration that i think is a possibility to see ah, either price as extreme as being sent to fight alongside right wing extremists legs of like the has of battalion in order to tutorial defeat the russians. right. i'll risk political commentator and the contributor for the middle east focused new site . i'll monitor, thanks for being a that's interesting to hear. thoughts or ukraine's parliament has praised the vandalism of a berlin memorial to soviet troops who had fought not fees during world war 2. seen q now agrees with the spray painted graffiti that russians are. quote, the real fascists, ukraine's parliament reference to the phrases scrawled onto the memorial thing that ukrainian blood is on russia's hands and put in is stolen. the russian embassy in

berlin has requested germany foreign ministry to make sure there's a swift response to the vandalism, 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 wald nazi concentration camp of the museums administration says it took the 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 globe, what they know about the liberation of nazi concentration camps. the earlier it was the allied forces, the u. s. in france, britain, in the soviet union, the red army liberated the concentration camps, primarily,

i guess maybe perhaps the americans a little bit. the soviet army was held by lindley, there's no way that the british american army could have livery. the concentration comes without. also having an army attacking from the east, at the same time, i think the american in the old been liberated. the question comes, form the west, then maybe the russians on days. i'm not sure some of the camps were liberated by russians. others by americans found by british it's important to know these facts. what happened and it's important to be aware that from many different people participated, the executive vice president of the eurasia center think tank. earl rasmussen says that by not allowing russia and bell roost to attend to the ceremony. germany is doing discredit to history. i think it's tragic when we have such important events and history and you're literally rewriting or you're wiping

out a key component of that history. and it's interesting that that the camp was liberated from the nazis. and now we've got 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 fashion groups today. 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 past 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 involve mentioned alleged killings of civilians in the queue of suburb of butram with british prime minister boris 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 putin has done in, in ukraine, which doesn't look far short of genocide to me. but the british government has stopped short of recognizing certain aspects of its own colonial history. as genocide, including massacres and mass starvation in india to spite persistent calls to acknowledge it as such. let's look at some of those cases. me in . i hate indians. they'll beastly people. the famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits. me,

[000:00:00;00] 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 good. the red indians their their magic, the natives in south america. they killed and magical people in south africa, whom there was good to be taken slaves to america. and duke slaves, all of the in 1943 and been god. judges created that bad moment men made. it was written, the japanese and other forces were coming. the band on the baltimore went in batavia and abandoned the board, transportation lead to badly affecting the food transportation, and about

a 1000000 people in been involved died of starvation, i was getting them before accusing others. look at yourself in the me that what you watch, what you have been to the world and what you are doing to the work. the problem is england still thinks that it has to be there, but it's still things voters think still that he's driving. he's still in a bias. i've been telling them, mr. boris, you don't have gotten these now to exploit. ah, 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 a well documented reputation as one of europe's most corrupt countries are huge. 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 enough 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 couldn't notably be because the ukrainian government owes the i and that more than $13000000000.00 with more than 2000000000 dollars in debt payments due this year alone. however, the i and that 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 disbursed 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 2018. they would have to put a stop to loans disbursements in the country because of the fact that there were more than $15000000000.00 in stolen funds. and the i m f, notably admitted that it didn't have confidence that zelinski 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 grass 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. the wednesday is calling the i am asked to ignore all of those concerns and who instead and more money he appears to be calling on the world to forget about the billions of dollars in stolen money. and to do that, just as many of them have forgotten about the presence of neo nazi malicious in his own military when they agreed to send more weapon. however, while there have been many western governments that have been quit to comply the i m that has not yet forgotten about just how much money they are owed by ukraine. or that does it for me this hour. i will be back to, let's say 29 minutes is another full fresh look at your news. this is our to international. ah
