to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah russia say it's florida regional brianna accounts being shelled in a ukrainian or a strike, leaving a number of people injured. despite warnings for moscow that any further attacks on its territory could see key abs quote, decision making centers targeted in response to folks with european countries, it constantly talking about refusing russian supplies. which further d stabilizes the market and inflates the prices themselves, primarily for their citizens. vladimir putin acute this so called on friendly state cell, delaying payments for russian energy resources be also highlighted that ordinary europeans will be the ones to suffer with. found us fighting. and mario police said to be entering its final stages and focus from

the city still works local, look to the future. we are confused. you are happy, but feel the grief at the same time with wherever you're catching a program from today. well, go to moscow and then use our and art. see, my name's union local authorities and that brianna regional western russia of accused ukraine's armed forces of shelling the border area. the rest investigative committee claimed it once a ukrainian or a strike carried out by to combat helicopters equipped with heavy offensive weapons . 7 people, including a pregnant woman and child, are reported to help being injured in the latest shelling, to all the injured, including the child or sippy in a serious condition. the instant comes, despite

a warning from the russian defense ministry less than 24 hours ago. but moscow could target key ebs decision making centers if ukraine kept bombing russian boarder, regence martinez donal quarter, joins we now in the studio with the latest southern deed there is a lot of developments just coming in on this. don't take us through what's known at this stage on moscow's response. well, a team from russia's investigative committee has set out for the border village of a claim of a, in russia's brands region to get a better picture of the aftermath of these basically ukrainian strikes. as we mentioned before, the investigative committee has determined that it was the result of 2 attack helicopters that actually launched rockets at residential buildings in that area. as of now 7 people, including pregnant woman and a child who's now in critical condition, have been injured as a result of these strikes. but that number may increase. we don't know,

we don't have all the information yet, so we're going to have to a so it's like i said, it's possible for that number to go up according to local officials. ukrainian force is also damaged to at least 2 residential buildings in that area. and the region has been put on high alert for potential future terrorist attacks. this is something that to the local officials have said, and shortly after those strikes actually there was a 2nd round of shelling on a russian border checkpoint that was about 40 kilometers south west of that town of clim of a local border guards said that mortar shells had begun to rain down just as refugees were trying to cross from ukraine into russian territory, trying to flee the conflict in ukraine. and thankfully, at that point there were no casualties. only 2 cars were damaged in the shelling, but this is not the 1st time that ukraine has actually launched any sort of rockets or shells on to russian territory. just a day before these shells that we were before these rocket attacks and showing that

we were talking about right now. there was another instance in course the region according to the governor of russia's course, the region which is also on the border with the ukraine and don boss. he said that there was a firefight that actually broke out. another russian border checkpoint with small arms fire and this is all provoked, the russian defense ministry to say that if these attacks on russian territory continue, there are going to be harsh retaliatory measures taken vision property division. we see attempts to sabotage and strikes by ukrainian troops, some object from the territory of the russian federation. if such cases continue, the armed forces of the russian federation will strike the decision making sense, including and careful what the russian army has refrained from doing so far. don't we have spoken before when you've actually been in some of these regions of russia, which saw similar attacks? are they solely targeting the military?

there is about the target and are other people getting caught up in that or is it just a free for all a while i would say it's stuff. it's entirely indiscriminate. shelling on behalf of the ukrainian forces. i was actually in rushes border region of raw stalls when the russian military operation began. when russia recognized the independence of don, yes, can guns. and i was actually covering the evacuees the evac, the massive accusations of refugees from dun boss into the russian federation. on the eve of the outbreak of open hostilities between russia and ukraine and pretty much immediately after ukrainian forces began shelling the region that i was in as well as brand as well that we were just talking about earlier. and course that we were also talking about, and these have been by and large residential building civilian areas and people were injured back then as well. i remember at one point local report said that around 40 mortar shells had fallen over overnight at just one. just one point in

the region that i was located in alone, not to mention other border regions that are right next to ukraine as well. so this indiscriminate and showing from ukraine side is not something that's new, would actually begin at the beginning of the rushes military operation. there could have a lot around vacations as well. and thanks for taking us through all of our teeth. don quarter vladimir putin has slammed western states for delaying the transfer payments for russian energy resources. this is with a flood of failures in the payment of export supplies of russian energy resources. banks from unfriendly countries delay the transfer payments. i remind you the task has already been set to transfer payments for energy resources to the national currency. gradually moving away from the dollar and the euro. in general, we intend to radically increase the share of payments in the national currency in the foreign trade system. in the little while or a month ago,

the russian president ordered the states companies the switch to payments and roubles only for russian energy was worst. the decision was met with a huge backlash from the west, which accused moscow in breaking contracts and circumventing sanctions wherever there's still no agreement among members states on bombing, russian, oil and gas. underwear newton also reiterate that. and embargo and russian energy resources. well, primarily hit european since up with zeppelin attempts by western countries to replace our energy resources with alternative supplies will inevitably affect the entire global economy. supplies from other countries, primarily from the united states, will cost consumers many times more would affect the standard of living of people and the competitiveness of the european economy. despite these obvious things for every one european countries, constantly talking about refusing russian supplies, which further destabilizes the market and inflates prices themselves primarily for

their citizens. unless by the russian president urging caution, the e. u has slapped a 5th wave of sanctions on the country. it includes refusing moscow energy and alcohol on blocking russian ships. you states joined washington in ending cold imports with some critic say is likely to push the continence already sky rocketing energy prices even higher. also, russian ships will no longer be allowed to access ftp and ports on the export of ation fuels software and sensitive equipment to moscow will be banned. while the european union will also stop by timber, cement, and alcohol from russia. well, to discuss all that, i'm delighted to welcome live onto the program and dmitri, but it chef sky director of the department of economic cooperation of the russian foreign ministry. thanks for taking the time today. so this fest bots of sanctions

on russia by the u targets. rushing coal, shipping and banking. how concerned should russians be and how much will it affect the economy here? i you know, and glad to be with you. well, let me make 1st of all a small but very important disclaimer. these measures cannot be called sanctions percent because they were never approved by un security council. where you can know them as hostile x, some of them on the brink of piracy or robbery, aimed at inflicting termino damage to russian economy and to its people. russia is taking steps to reciprocate his, you know, our responses to follow. in some spears, we have already taken counter measures, but we are not going to fall into sanctions, war or sanctions history here. because unlike our adversaries, we understand that this kind of weapon, i mean sanctions, is a double,

double edged sword. and it hurts also. those who introduce distinctions until the question. yeah, go ahead. yes. yeah. as to the impact on russia, england, i mean, well, those steps were very much predictable. we had the experience and we had some time to get prepared for them. as you may notice, you know, our economy quickly adapted to previous restrictions, starting from 2014 you mentioned that just a moment ago, the, the flip side, the impact that sodium sanctions against russia could have on the use economy. can you maybe expand on that? wow, it is a obvious that then you are restrictive measures will have an adverse effect on the european economy. the sanction, the so called sanctions will definitely on to my and competitiveness of the you. they will further disrupt remaining value and supply chains is to get prize growth

of commodities or all materials, food and other critical goods. european metal interested will also have to go through a painful process of changes. well, there are various views on that, but people at businesses will set a list, suffer from the direct or indirect effects of such steps. inflation by the ways on the rise of girls, the u. n. d, in america and in japan. energy prices are skyrocketing, according to some estimates, the leaving standards of population on the way down to minimum levels record a since 19 seventies. russia has responded to the actions by selling gas only and rubles now that's being resisted by many states. are we reaching a point when moscow will act more harshly with so called on friendly countries? on just as an aside to that, are there other exports that could also be traded ripples? i'm thinking coil, or, or kohler oil even? well, on our steps, our measures were what caused,

caused by increasing distrust toward the u. s. and you who undermined the established ways of international payment transactions. they speak a lot about so called rules based order, but the reality is opposite. it seems like nobody cares about rules and law. western countries behave like, you know, commute is 100 years ago. the fries s us abroad, which are our property owned by our government, or private companies or our citizens. what we did, the response is a new requirement to open currency and rubles accounts. you know, ration authorized bank release the pounds from the buyer will be credited to the sellers accounts option for us to sold the most go currency exchange. so if they continued to act in such a manner, i can not exclude that the new payment system might be extended to other commodity groups. however, as russia export flows would re oriented towards friendly countries, more important threat would be the introduction of direct exports and import

payments through national occurrences. i'd also like to get your take on this next point in the context of discussions about the looming food energy and financial crises, a number of experts and politicians after the cause solely to rush his actions in ukraine. is that correct? in your opinion, if not, what are the roots of the volatility, for instance, in global food markets? yeah, indeed, western media and representatives of governments are trying to blame russia for the looming food crisis and make our country responsible for global hunger. they attribute aid to russia's actions in ukraine. however, the truth is totally different. let us look at this problem from the neutral point of view. let's take on board the districts and official reports by international organizations. it is vital to understand the origin of the crisis without emotional emotions and political prejudice. what we see in the put markets to day is not

history of just last 2 months or of this year, but it is a stated trend of several years. foot price is started rising in mid $20.00 twenty's and reached an all time high in february 2022. yesterday. by the way, i am, i have w t u and world would program code for urgent measures to achieve for security. but look, the annual growth rate of weeds prices in 2021 and last year amounted up to 25 percent . by february. this year they exceeded the average level for the last 5 years. by 3060 percent. the cost of corn increased by 162 percent, and perhaps the 175 percent. this is an unprecedented food prices spike. like many countries, russia is deeply worried about this trend. we keep in mind that we are not to import many dairy products, fruits vegetables sees and other. so,

in 2021 and in 2020 of world food program repeatedly warned that the road facing current of virus pandemic was on the edge of an armed up and damage that could lead to multiple lines of biblical proportions. i quote, this estimation, let me emphasize is, was made last year, not now. so russia has nothing to do with this. in my view, there are 3 main dimensions or reasons behind the current food crisis. i mean, this is systemic era's own macroeconomic policies of major industrialized countries . there miscalculations in energy and climate strategies, selfish approaches to put security. so let's 1st talk about my curriculum in finance. in developed countries during 2021. the volume of monetary support to economy has sharply increased, according to general estimates, only the u. s. because pumped 5 trillion us dollars and you about $13.00, if you are in the economy, japan,

up to 2 trillion. so many others did the same. look at the global economy, it was fed up with helicopter money just to boost demand. so 2nd is energy. i'm not going to speak about this in detail, but the accelerate the transition of a number of worst in countries to green energy and their reliance solely on the development of renewables. hom, traditional fuels industry. such policy, coupled with a bending nuclear energy in some countries, resulted into acceleration in the growth of energy prices by pumping trillions of dollars and the economy is they stimulated demand, so they attract the train flows to their markets. of course, poor nations could not afford such policies. yeah, it's a point as well is that the people who are going to be most effective, the public, the people we've got europe, ian citizens facing food shortages, fuel price spikes. and i thought critical moment politicians didn't hesitate to introduce what i've just been speaking about a new unprecedented package of unilateral sanctions on russia's production and

trade transport, financial supply chains. i put it to you. should politicians not be focusing more on the possible economic hurt against their people rather than trying to struggle moscow economically? well, you know, we were talking about the real objective proofs of this food crisis. but on top of that, in the recent days and weeks and number developed countries introduced unprecedented package up unilateral sanctions on russia, production trade, transport, financial supply chains. at the time when global economy, it's heat with pandemic, aftershocks us into your leaders. prioritize, punishing russia about all other concerns. russian companies are threatened by a mess. the rest of the dry cargo ships. banks have to work on the brink of disconnection from swift, system logistics and financial chains with the participation of rational because i make up the rate as i being disrupted. so of course with face difficulties. no,

both food exporters and report has failed to fulfill the contract obligations. this is very important for our counterparts in all parts of the world. it problem is i was just going to say, sometimes we get bogged down with what's happening and the reaction in europe and the u. s. we're seeing anti russian sanctions hurting. not only developed countries, aren't we, but also the rest of the world, especially industries, consumers and people at the global side. how far do you think the damage could spread? well, the key point is that it cannot make problems of developing countries are quite multifaceted in origin and deep rooted in the long lasting economic instability. if we take cover 1900 pandemic, you know, there are a lot of disturbances and their post could be the recovery has been very much uneven in all parts of the road. this is considerably aggravated the economic

situation of many developing countries at this critical moment. you know, introducing sanctions is a, you know, big problem not only poor russia, but for, for the, for the, for the whole world. you know, this aggravates the economic situation everywhere. has anyone in the west thought about this, about the global consequences and the inevitable cumulative effect for related industries, consumers and people, i'm afraid the answer is no. crisis is looming and no one in the west seems to be ready to make a step to ease tensions. well, i would like to emphasize, the russian federation remains a very responsible player on the global food market. we will fulfill our obligations and international expert contracts. whatever difficult it could be, well, very much aware of the importance of supplying essential goods so desperately needed by our partners in asia,

africa let in america and the middle east. russia understand this very well, which is vital for food security. and we will implement our obligations now we urge all countries, especially the developing road to look at this situation where the lens of your vital national interest lifting, unilateral grades of measures with significantly ease tensions around transportation, logistics, financial aspects of supply chains, global industrial, agricultural and financial markets need a strong political signal which could soften global negative effects. we should find possible ways to avoid the worst case scenario. now you understand the real reasons of what is happening. and whichever mister borough, in the high commission, no v u says about, don't listen, russia take pragmatic position, no matter what your political preferences are. the developing will should voice the consolidated view that unilateral measures unacceptable. these so called sanctions i to blame for deepening food graces and global uncertainty. uncertainty is the is

the worst thing for investors, for businessmen to day. sanctions are aimed at russia, but tomorrow, any country in the world can become a target for thank you so much for coming on the program and sharing your views with us. in lightning to hear that directly dmitri or hfc, director of the department of economic cooperation of the russian foreign ministry . many thanks. thank you. aah. k. onto more news to day the russian defense ministry has confirmed the naval flagship. the mosque of been seriously damaged after a fire broke out, causing some of its amunition supplies to explode. the place has been localized on its main missile. armaments are not said to have been damaged. the ship in the black sea is now being told to port after its crew were evacuated. the safety, the cause of the incident is still being investigated, but ukrainian officials came. the cruiser was targeted by its missiles. meanwhile,
