[000:00:00;00] a notch in india is interesting. that's how washington describes india's imports of russian army and oil. as the u. s. ramped up pressure on new delhi during a summit between the 2 countries. with intense fighting continues in the battles from mario full, as don bass force is now say they have taken control of the city court. meanwhile, our chief follows a tank battle near the cities as our 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 flitting a russian soldiers throat with a sickle in a style resembling that of the terrorist group. islamic state. and ukraine to parliament celebrates the desecration of a pearly memorial to soviet soldiers, as germany prevents russian officials from attending the anniversary of the liberation of book in world, not the concentration camp. we have 2 people around the globe, what they think about the history surrounding the liberation of such camps. the year it was the allied forces, the u. s. france, britain and the soviet union. important to know these fact what's happened and so forth is to be aware that many different people participated with

broadcasting from our studios in moscow. this is our international john thomas. glad have you with us. now, the us says it's 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 p. m not read 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 covered pandemic, pressing issues in the indo 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 talk that india should not increase its importance of russian oil. the cor, well, 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 that well, it was quite an exhaustive meeting. many topics were discussed, but one recurring theme we heard from the u. s. side of the discussion was u. s. official telling india what they feel is in india, the interest that we just read, jen, saki, talking about what she thought was india is that interesting? 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 a node you purchased this from russia, i would suggest not to attention shouldn't be focused on your own,

which probably we knew by some our energy which is necessary for our energy security. but i suspect, looking at the figures, probably our total purchases for the month would be less than want to go to a dozen and optimum. 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 rushes doing to ukraine. so that seems to be a recurring theme. u. s. 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. we'll 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 europe buys from moscow. there was a lot of good m o o means on in the us, but she is already know trying to buy you some motto. are you from a sure to discount it shows often. yeah, 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. then what did the previous month? again, when the highlights are one sided because there's a lot of got

a lot been on this issue or sitting in the bank so that again puts things to context and to blame this understood equity. so the rest about 60 percent of indian forces construed of russian equipment and major defense due to the pipeline. so for instance, 400 for a good sense. again, simon ipos surely 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, oh, but i didn't know that dependence will continue. i mean, you sort of thing is just going on like, you know, move it or different. and i think that's just what the meanwhile, opec is urging european leaders to show restraint to 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. now the battle continues to rage in marble, as dumbass forces reported that they have taken control of the cities port. meanwhile, the russian military is advancing on the as of steel factory. a strong hold of ukrainian nationalist forces are g correspondent, but i guess you have reports from the ground. this delivery of the other one does look like, which is the last frontier before the duffel go, the nationalists of may there start with some that far follow the size of these buildings are amongst the last still held by ukrainian nationalists on the east bank of mario po, outside the industrial zone, there also a nest of radical nationalists, snipers,

and machine gunners. 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 for fire at it. the people inside are among the last held hostage by ukrainian nationalists. or if you were speaking about the situation in mary, you, par, the residential parts of the city have been liberated. some individual pockets of resistance remain such as slippers 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 i deal with he'll be back with. you could see with which these type is replacing is once withdrawing to the reopen resupply and take a short break that's from here. those of n, 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 no more civilians to hide behind. where i'd gaz the of r t for mario bull. ukrainian officials say russia allegedly used a chemical weapon in marble, siding 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 battalion said 3 people showed signs of chemical poisoning that did not appear fatal. britton's top diplomat was quick to react and said the claims were being investigated. the russian military has not commented on the allegation so far . ottawa has spent almost $900000000.00 on training, the ukranian military, which includes the infamous neo nazi as the battalion. that's the despite earlier pledges by canada's 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 ottawa's bid to help to strengthen its military photos posted by ukraine's military on social media. and clearly shows some soldiers wearing as a battalion patches provided, as they participate in the training with canadian service men. but ottawa has been distancing itself from the claims with the defense ministry saying it had been ukraine's responsibility to conduct checks of the soldiers who would participate. the canadian armed forces have never given any training whatsoever to members of days 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. as i were actress, 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 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 them about the. ready the neo nazis that are in the militia and the security services 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 a cruelty. radicalism and extremism. remedies 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 and a field slitting a russian soldiers throat with a sickle and a style resembling that of the terrorist group islamic state. these are screenshots, as you cannot show the complete footage because of its extreme is content. the video makes its threats against russian soldiers and ukrainian language with english subtitles. russia has begun in a criminal investigation into the matter. it is not the 1st time that anti russian statements have turned to 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 the ukrainian doctor who had a mobile hospital organisation said russian soldiers should be castrated. both of them later backtracked, following a public outrage. journalist 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 that nobody in 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 look not nobody said anything about it. because again, by this logic adopted in west, nothing anybody in ukraine does can be wrong. and russians 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 who we call it out and there don't seem to be any the white helmets, a controversial group that presents itself as a civil defense of the serious 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 year, so during double strike in which we lost many of our colleagues in the white helmets founded by a former british army officer, call themselves a search and rescue group and work on rebel controlled territory in syria. there 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 islamic militant groups, and has even participated in staging provocations in the syrian civil war. with ali risk, a political commentator and a contributor for the middle east focused news site. l monitor says the white helmets might be useful to ukrainian forces for learning how to fabricate events, to sway global public opinion against russia. they could become useful in terms of trying to say, joe, make perfect videos or try to fabricate events,

i think and up particular perspective. yes, it could be useful because when you, when you want to fabricated, then 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, they could learn maybe from the there is in syria, the white helmets on how to fabricate how to use. so no equipment to try and give the impression that there is more credibility, the reports where they are in british or in other european media. they continue this process of demonizing, russia and presenting the white helmets and those in ukraine as being a heroes. so you know, what 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 wall out 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. ukraine's parliament has praised the vandalism of a berlin memorial to soviet troops who had fought nazis during world war 2. thank you. have now agrees with the spray painted graffiti that russians are, quote, the real fascists and you came to parliament reference to the phrases scrawled onto the memorial, saying that ukrainian blood is on russia hans and put in is stolen. the russian embassy in berlin has requested germany's foreign ministry to make sure that there is a swift response to the vandalism, including that the perpetrators should be made responsible for the damage. meanwhile, 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. the museums administration says it took look the measure because the rushes current military operation in ukraine. the

liberation 77th anniversary was marked on sunday. concentration camp was freed by the us army forces the end of world war 2, acting on information supplied by polish and soviet prisoners. the soviet military liberated numerous concentration camps during the war, including the biggest camps, my neck and outfits. we asked people from around the world, what they know about the allies liberation of the nazi concentration camps. the earlier it was the allied forces, the us in france, britain and 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's no way that the british american army could delivery the concentration camps without also having an army attacking from the east. at the same time, i think the american in the been liberated, the country comes formed the west and maybe the washing on the. i'm not sure. some

of the cam for liberated by russians either try america, found by british. it's important to know these fact what happened, and the thing for me to be aware that to many different people to fade is the executive vice president of the eurasia center. a think tank. earl rasmussen says that by not allowing russia and bell roost to attend to the ceremony. germany is doing a 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 inviting 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 actually do discredit. i think for the memory of the liberation of the camp and, and the victory polish authorities have broken into and seized a russian diplomatic building in warsaw. so it can be used to accommodate refugees from ukraine to polish capitals mayor has said that taking the russian property is, quote, a symbolic way to show support for key of amid the conflict. we heard from the russian ambassador to poland who had slammed the measure as a violation of international law. your lives go be sure these actions are a gross violation of both the vienna convention suffer international law and the inter governmental agreement between the soviet union and polar are so called

partners in the west. have apparently felt that the law was not written for them. and they can do whatever they want, that corresponds with their understanding world order based on rule that they themselves establish and that they observe or violate as they want more than 4500000 people have sled ukraine since the conflicts erupt into a month and a half ago, with over 2000000 ukrainians as he can refuge in the neighboring poland. polish authorities have gone to great length to support those displaced by the conflict and numerous poles have made donations for humanitarian assistance and even welcomed ukrainians to stay at their homes. but human rights organization, amnesty international says the polish authorities, behavior, quote smacks of racism and in poxy. because while there's been an outpouring of support for your convenience, migrants from the middle east who have crossed the bell. russian border into poland are being held in prison like condition at overcrowded detention center. say that

the wave of middle eastern asylum seekers peak last year with poland declaring a state of emergency and deploying more than 12000 troops to its border. even saying that the migrants posed a threat to pull national security embassy international says colin's treatment of the middle eastern asylum seekers has been abusive. the polish authorities have arbitrarily detained nearly 2000 asylum seekers who crossed into country from bella roost in 2021 and subjected many of them to abuse. including strip searches in unsanitary overcrowded facilities. and in some cases, even to forcible sedation and tailoring to the behavior of a polish authority smacks of racism and hypocrisy, poland must urgently extend its marble compassion for those entering the country from ukraine to all those crossing its borders to seek safety. we heard from some of the people whose lives have been torn apart by wars led by western powers,

particularly the u. s. let's take a look at how u. s. policy has differed from supporting ukrainian refugees while rejecting people in need in nato devastated libya with united states are prepared to commit more than 1000000000 dollars in humanitarian assistance to help get relief to millions of ukrainians affected by the war in ukraine. well, we've also will walk up 100000 ukrainians, united states her nature violated the international resolutions of the u. n. l. c. they shield and destroyed infrastructure and killed civilians. this was a foreign intervention in libya for which they must apologize and compensate for

every brick they destroyed and every person they killed. the libyan people will decide who will reign and who shall not. who shall stay and who shall go nato. i wish brazenly uses the power to plunder the wealth of african nations. today we will hold them accountable for all this, especially the u. s. and with the change of the world order, we want to legally restore right for libyans, the nato alliance usaa germany, and the pretext of protecting civilians have been the biggest lies ever. now, all these lies are god. we always emphasize that people are being used as a pretext for carrying out certain political objectives and projects sought by the

international regime. we've seen this with syrian and libyan refugees. ah we have the fully aware that the u. s. was one of the main sciences behind the destruction of libyan infrastructure and the internal systems in 2011 at the while pretending to be the patron of freedom isn't human rights would have ease of co slogans. if one day i met the u. s. president and i will express my hope that those slogans be sent in reality, and that that will be human rights. children's rights, as you pretend on your social media platforms, there's been this double standard in regards to ukrainian refugees who are universe

universally. welcome and others, particularly from africa or haiti, or latin america who countries are trying to keep out. i think it is about racism. it's about welcoming people who look like us. i think it's also, of course, part of the campaign against russia. they feel they have the moral high ground here as opposed to in the case of syria words, the west. that clearly was behind the war. there are yemen, you know, where the west is backing saudi arabia in a much more brutal world war than we're seeing in syria. and yet we don't even hear about that. and we don't hear about refugees from their being welcomed anywhere. so yeah, i mean, this is all very political how this is being treated that does it for me, this, our stay with us throughout the day as we bring you more news and commentary, the 50 oxygen

a a ah,

a wealthy toils apart when it comes to the russian turkish relationship, one praise that they needed to come 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 i once again involved in a very intricate dance over ukraine. what does truck is tag there? well, to discuss now joined by use of all of our returns colonel of the turkish army and the security channel. it a great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much. i get it from your recent writing that you find russia's actions in ukraine, pretty distasteful. you called it the return of russia are,

isn't suggesting that it was more about going up to land than securing the country national interest. a turkish troops for a number of years have been present in syria, which is also so we're in state. your army conducted a sound super ations there. despite the very clear objections of the sitting government. what is the difference here when turkey defending its interest in syria and russia defending it's interesting in ukraine? 30 not started the inmate syria because there are numerous terrorist attacks. we should resort by everyone. this is not an issue. this is a certain issue which is accepted by everyone. 30 is being attacked by it might be g forces from the border. for this isn't the turkish operations on the more little
