a robot must protect its own existence with oh, no, it's an india interest. that's how washington has described the country, the ports of russian and oil. every year west wound up pressure on your desk to stop dealing with forces edge, closer to victory, and the going back to city of mario polk saying they've now taken full control of the local port correspondent is on the ground. this time swollen to assault. the final stronghold, ukrainian radical troops with a ukrainian propaganda video calling for the brutal execution of russian troop fox

outrage on social media. it depicts the woman's listing of russian soldiers, the roads, with a stick held in a solid remnant of terrorist groups like is with hello and welcome mixed by pm here in moscow. and this is all to international with the latest news headlines. now president putin has dismissed the allegations of a civilian masika in boucher calling them fake during a media conference with his fellow russian counterpart of my pearson also reiterated the goals of russia's operation. ukraine, which he says was the only way for moscow to protect the embattled people of dumbass. just the place where no cranial i give you the 2nd. so you know what is going on in ukraine is undoubtedly a tragedy. but they simply left us no choice. the only question was when it would start, even before the start of the operation, i said the stand off with the forces that had been brought up by the west and

ukraine. the nationalist, neo nazi forces was inevitable that they were getting ready and waiting for the right moment. and i said then that we wouldn't let them go through with their plans . this is the logic of our actions. as i said on the 24th of february, our goal is to help the people of dumbass who field their connection to russia and who have been subjected to genocide for the last 8 years. this is how things are going and the operation is going according to plan ukranian side has walked away from its stumble agreements. now the security demands are one issue and crimea civil stubble and dumbass are completely different issues for them to be put outside of these agreements. we are now back to we deadlock situation. this inconsistency when it comes to vital issues, creeds, difficulties to reach agreements, acceptable for all sides of the talks. and until these agreements are reached, the operation will continue to resolve all the tasks that had been set out at its

beginning. next year. the u. s. i did quote, not in india's interest to keep importing russian oil and weapons. president joe biden powered pressure on prominence, the new and remote the during an online summit between the leaders. tip us to talk also took place between the us and indian defense ministers and talk diplomats with the americans once again urging new deli step away from his partnerships with moscow. and the aftermath of the discussions. the white house admitted that the u. s. has so far been unable to convince india to stop dealing with russia. 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 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 in the 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 is from russia, i would suggest that your attention shouldn't 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 our total purchases for the month would be less than what europe does in

an 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 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 and india's economic interests will be seeing a further reaction to today's meeting. as the week goes on,

a former indian diplomat told his new delhi doesn't take any orders from washington and will continue to choose its own allies. well it's, it's their right to tell us what they want. but it's not our obligation to agree with everything that we want. the long defense relationship that we have have with russia. and also know, oh, taking a line by which we become critical of russia on the crisis in. and so we have quite, obviously not going to agree to it. and i think the americans realized that's the case. every country accidents on interest. but he tries to do so without trampling on the interests of others. i mean, we don't are collaboration with russia. it does not do any harm

to anyone. our relationship with any one on these matters is based on wanting and i this is a policy which india is now under prime minister. more these letters to clear adopted, we are going to build more and more of our defense equipment at home in india. and for a fact renewal. and for our experience has shown us that even in that, russia will be a major partner. i had of the meeting, washington crazed, it strong defense partnership with new delhi calling into the india the largest democracy in the world. however, during the talks, the u. s. secretary of state unexpectedly took aim at new delhi as human rights record. we regularly engage with our indian partners on the shared values into that and we're monitoring some recent concerns developments in india, including a rise in human rights abuses by some government. police and prison officials are pitch, has a video of global policy insides. thing tank says india will continue to refrain

from taking sides over the conflict in ukraine. we also have to appreciate what we mean by neutral. my understanding and i think in india on the standing of neutrality is that neutrality is not always speaking the median position. neutrality is that wherever it's needed, so for example, when they will in casual happening, what happening will just be openly whenever needed. we will openly pre what needs to be prayer and wherever needed. we will, openly, we will not be near you, but i don't think that it's really about, you know, walking on the rope. that's just the wrong metric that you, it's really about you know, bar lee. but both the parties as partners and trying to figure out what are the best outcomes, we don't have to look at things as a new all the time that's been up and also be i know the politics can be, you know,

some game a tanks, but there are lists, but there's us who can look it situation with, you know, more collaborative and then have a much better out all of the but even the have some breaking news for you. now. there's been a shooting during rush hour at a subway station in brooklyn, new york city, that's according to the local police department. at least 5 people have reportedly been wounded police on now at the scene. a suspicious device resembling a bomb was also reported. he found the signs that police now say they have not discovered any explosives there, as they would get on the status of the shooter who's been described by eye witnesses as a man wearing a gas mask and an orange vest. we will be keeping you updated on any updates as and when they come in to stay with us for their battle. for the dumbass city of mario polis ended its final stage where the russian led forth is saying that now fully they've now fully taken the local port. the remaining ukrainian

radical troops reportedly hold up inside the as well still, factory with russian tank sound. we begin for decisive strike on the stronghold as our teeth senior correspondent more. i don't see reports from the scene. this delivery of the of ours was thus local, which is the last frontier before the duffel go ahead. read him. national may rest, i have with them that sort of follow the size. these buildings are amongst the last 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 tank. so careful not for far at it. the people inside are among the last held hostage by euclidian 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 i think with god, he'll be back with it. with all of it you can see with which these light is replacing. this one's withdrawing to the rehab resupply and take a short break that's from here. those of ed 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 guys the of r t for mario bull. as of neo nazi force is inside marielle pull, have accused russia of attacking them with chemical weapons, with at least 3 people allegedly hospitalized. as there was as a result, kids defense ministry says is trying to verify this information. while the russian military has not yet commented on the allegations and restrained cruelty, radicalism and extremism reminiscent of islamic states, terrorists as most goes reactions who ukrainian propaganda video cooling for the brutal killing of russian soldiers, you might find the following images upsetting these screenshots as we can show you the complete footage because of its extremist contents. the video depicts

a woman in a field slitting a russian soldiers throat with a sickle and a star resembling but of notorious terrorist groups. the video makes its threats against russian soldiers in the ukranian language. with english subtitles, russia has begun a criminal investigation into the matter. what is not the 1st 100 anti western statements have turned gruesome in ukraine? a t v presenter earlier called for murdering russian children, saying he agreed with hitler's henchmen out of i can statements but even an enemy's kids should be killed. on the ukrainian doctor who had se mobile hospital organizations that russians soldiers should be castrated. both of them later back tracks following public outrage, journalists, blogger, and historian. knowledge says there's 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 a minute 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 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 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 kind of parliament has praised the vandalism of a berlin memorial to soviet troops who had fought nazis during world war 2. saying k of now agrees with the spray painted graffiti that russians all quotes. the real fascists, ukraine's parliament reference the phrases schooled on the memorial saying that ukrainian blood is on russia's hands and putin is starlen. the russian embassy in berlin has requested germany's foreign ministry to make sure there's a swift response to the vandalism, including that the perpetrators should be made responsible for the damage. meanwhile, russian and bell of russian officials were not allowed to attend the ceremony and germany last weekend. commemorating allied forces liberation of the beacon vote. nazi concentration camp. the museums administration says it took the measure

because of russia's current military operation in ukraine. the liberation, $77.00, son of us, we was walked on sunday. the concentration camp was read by the us army towards the end of world war 2, acting on information supplied by polish and for the prisoners. the soviet military liberated numerous concentration camps during the war, including the biggest camps that might, that count out whats wells people from around the world? well, they know about the allies 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 di americans a little bit lower. so re army was held by lind lease. there's no way that the british american army could have livery the concentration camps, without also having an army attacking from the east. at the same time, i think the american then the all been liberated. record version comes form for

where there may be the russians on, based on what true. some of the camps were liberated by russians, others by americans found by british. it's important to know these fact what happened and so forth is to be aware that for many different people, 1st dissipated hey, some of the latest footage of a soviet era war monument being torn down inside ukraine as public anger against russia spills over, seemingly anything and everything connected to the country is now being targeted by ukrainians, including monuments to legendary russian writers, including alexander pushkin, will as cross live and discuss this further. now with john lapkins, lecturer of political science and history. thank you for joining on the program is lucky to see you. now, john, the russian officials were barred from attending the 77th anniversary of the liberation of broken vaults. the concentration camp, despite the fact the russian soldiers were among those who free to that camp. what's your take on that?

well, my take on it is that it is not news i'm afraid because in 2015, shortly after the events in ukraine, the year off to the events and you kind of 2014 the allies. the western, the western powers did not invite a president putin to the commemorations of the liberation of outfits and outfits. of course, in the intervening 7075 years has become far more famous than book and valid book. and vote was very famous when it was discovered when it was liberated. but out of it, since i've taken it and the fact that the russians who, of course, the soviets, obviously, we're the ones who liberated auschwitz, the fact that they went out. it went invited to that in 2015, shows the extent of the revisionism which the western powers are determined to bring about concerning the history of the 2nd world war. no,

for many decades now, they have energetically pushed the idea that in fact, the war, the 2nd, well what was between western democracy and totalitarianism. by which time they mean to blood, the distinctions between the nazi regime and the soviet regime. and in doing this, they of course reduce and indeed in some cases, almost to nothing. the role played by the soviets, which to be honest, is largely, i would say not known about in the west. i mean, you've just shown reports from people all over the world who all seem to know about the red army liberating the camps. but i can assure you find plenty of people who had no idea at all that the soviet army was heap involved. so there's nothing new really under, in a way, i think that this decision is petulant and childish, but it's also an expression, really of the impotence, i think of the west in the face of the russian invasion of ukraine,

other west. it's trying to do everything. it can, except as we know, fight militarily it's so throwing economic sanctions. it's chose down the r t, another russian media outlets. it's doing everything it can on the virtual and symbolic level to exclude russia. but it's not actually doing anything on the ground on the military level. and therefore, in a way, i think this is an expression of impotence. this is a curious thing to kind of iron wash away in the past, isn't it? it is a new most videos and photos of monuments to russian soldiers, even writers, monuments dedicated to writers like person being dismantled in various ukrainian cities. how can this possibly be justified as an an outpouring of anger direct there anything russian or connected to russia? yeah, well i mean, attacking the a bust of pushkin is just completely stupid, the pulling down of a soviet war memorials. oh, i suppose is

a bit more logical because the people who pull them down, associate the soviet liberation with dictatorship and totalitarianism. i'm not saying i justify it, but it's a bit more. it's a bit more relevant to the present predicament. but the key point about all this is that the events of the 2nd world war are very present for us today. russia justifies its military operation and ukraine by talking about di notification, while russia's enemies alleged that it's now the russians who were the, the fascists saw the nazi. so the issue of historical memories, it's not her an academic subject. it's on the country at the very heart of this conflict. you know, who are the real nazis? is it the as off battalion? is it the ukranian nationalists or is it or is it the russian forces? and so these fights over a war memorials are in fact part of the political battle that's taking part in

ukraine today is also as nathan at the, the concept of soviet soldier refers not only to russians, but also to ukrainians who were part of the soviet army fighting against nazi germany, sony ukrainians. remember that? so while they respected their own history, well, as you, as you, and i'm sure your viewers very well know ukraine as a nation was divided in the 2nd world war that were famously collaborate ukrainian collaborators with nazi germany. in particular. the very people who are now fighting the russians, many of them are boast and i mean, boast, a direct, fully ation to the organisation of ukrainian nationalists, which declared ukrainian independence in july 1941 or maybe even in june 1941. certainly very soon after the german invasion and they, they swore allegiance to hitler and to nazi germany. so ukraine was a nation, divide it of course the majority until the majority of ukrainians were on the

soviet side. but there was a, a minority which was on the nazi side, and it is of course that side which is now fighting as i say in ukraine when i say they boast about their fully ation. and if you look at the. ringback academy the military academy of the ass off battalion its name, the name of its founder, the name the sorry, the name that they've given to this military academy is the founder, is one of the founders of the organization of ukrainian nationalists, whose name appears on this declaration of loyalty to nazi germany in 1941. so the links are quite explicit with these war time events, they are indeed they are indeed boasted all by the people fighting of some of them anyway, fighting the russians at the moment in places like mario. so russia and is not allowed to attend an anniversary dedicated to fight against no c s. and then this

will come to the time when russia, so this fighting against neo nazi groups in your train and don't pass. what's your reaction to that? well, as certain of i shall manage just said, what is so appalling about this whole business is that people in the west who scream at the slightest conservatism at the slightest or right wing politician in their own country. any one who sent immigration or whatever is immediately labeled a fascist here in western europe. but they turn a blind eye to people who i repeat, overtly, claim a link back to the collaboration, nist and indeed very violent regime that was in place in ukraine under german occupation in 1941. so the double standards are absolutely unbearable. the west wants to monopolize in its own favor, the fight against naziism and to deny to russia any role,

any historical roland. certainly any present role in that battle. and whereas, as i say, you know, the word fascist is bounded around all the time in western political discourse. it is absolutely incredible and disgraceful that people who, by naming their institutions after certain figures, by carrying portraits of stepan pandora in the, in the demonstrations in the streets of ukraine and so on. these people overtly claim a link to the collaboration. is it with the nazis in the 1940s on the territory of ukraine and that is just absolutely appalling, auckland, electra of political science and history. many thanks for your time. we appreciate your insights. thank you. that might how might say controversial great. that presents itself for their civil defense, se every and opposition have made a video tutorial for ukraine. with advice about how to deal with bombardment by russian forces. as your mama, dean,

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 strikes in which we lost many of our colleagues in the mall. they're the white helmets founded by a former british army officer, call themselves a search and rescue group and work on rebel controlled territories in syria. they've received a loss of publicity in the western establishment media for accusing the russian and syrian militaries of targeting civilians. but the organization has struggled with allegations that it's linked to islamic millet islamist militant groups, and as even participated in staging provocations in the syrian civil war. a with

a low risk, a political commentator allen's contributor for the middle east focus new site monitor. i wanted to say the wind 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 stay joel make faked videos or try to fabricate events. i think in up particular perspective, yes, it could be useful because when you, when, when you want to fabricate events, i don't think that the difference in the terrain all the did general war environment makes a big difference. so in that particular aspect, they could learn maybe from they, those in syria, the white helmets on how to fabricate how to use certain equipment to for i give the impression that there's more credibility, the reports were there in british or in other european media. you know, they continued this purse is a demonizing, russia,

and presenting the white helmets and those in ukraine as being heroes. so you, i, you are. what strikes me in the general coverage of this, of these events which were taking place is how they describe the vision between good guys and bad guys. and trying to get the impression that what is taking place is a fight between all out good, an ot at evil. and this is being, this coverage is being applied in the wide. how much story is being applied generally will. so in how the west is portraying this conflict? my thanks for a company here in arthur international web, back in 30 minutes. ah ah

ah. ah grey's own inhabitants have learned to sleep through the nighttime shilling and to live without the most basic utilities going for weeks without clean water or electricity. worst of all, they've had to watch as the war creeps ever closer to their homes. it's georgette correct jane you've been that is thrown you don't look i'm a.
