[000:00:00;00] ah, with breaking use this, our international multiple explosions are reported in ukrainian capital here early on friday as part of the city a left without electricity. also coming out of set up a foreign position here, a variety of caliber shell casings but also as in many places that we visited empty syringes as the battle for now. do you call and says it's final stages and are the crew take a closer look at positions left by ukrainian soldiers? the head of the european central bank wants the faces rising inflation and economic

instability if they abundant russian gas imports. with coming to you live from our headquarters here in moscow. welcome to our international moneys peter scott. and we now have 30 minutes of news on analysis for you. and we start with breaking news. this. our multiple explosions have been reported in ukrainian capital as air raid sirens bled out across the country. it was also reported that most of the city were left without power, according to local me, local media sites in residence. it's the most intense assault in the region since the war begun. meanwhile, car cove is reportedly under heavy shelling in yvonne of a frank cole, which is in the west of the country. local media claims that the last major oil refinery in ukraine has been destroyed. the local

authorities in the beyond the region of western russia have accuse ukraine of carrying out an air strike in the border region. the russian investigative committee claims it was carried out by to combat helicopters equipped with heavy weapons age people, including a pregnant woman under child reports who have been injured in the talk with 2 in a serious condition. authorities in neighboring b. l. good. the regional b l grid, also accused of shelling, with no casualties reported ukraine's national security and defense council reject the allegations, blaming russia for the incidence. this comes amid warnings from the russian defense ministry that moscow could target to keep the command center efficient territories or threatens the region proper to do so, we see attempts to sabotage and strikes by ukrainian troops on objects on the territory of the russian federation. if such cases continue, the armed forces of the russian federation will strike the decision making sentence,

including care what the russian army has refrained from doing so far. on the screen now you can see images of the aftermath of the legend. shelling in brians with a number of buildings and cars destroyed. emergency services are said to be working at the scene. political and social commentator alexander povich gives his thoughts and the potential ramifications of this alleged attack. the entire strategy of the landscape, and i must say is western handlers is, can be summed up in 3 words. escalade technically an escalate. anything to drawing more lessons into ukraine. anything that ah, digs an even deeper divide between russian russians and ukrainians. dusty order of the day. they now need of pictures. they need video. they need video clips of russia, marseilles hitting care,

which they will immediately on broadcast over the western mass media showing with the russians are now more apparently lacking civilian targets. in historic here, you know, this is now now they're willing, obviously they're willing to use not only are ordinary people, civilians are also willing to their own capital city in order just to gain further sympathy for, for, for themselves and to drama, more hate against russia. fighting in the nearly destroyed ukrainian city of murder, you po, continues with the russian defense minister saying ukrainian troops have been surrounded all these rod gasdio takes a look at some apartments in the port city where ukrainian forces will hold up at every crossing on every street in every yard the scars of battle are apparent. and today we followed in the footsteps of ukrainian nationalists. as they tugged

people's homes into firing ranges. as ukrainian troops retreated deeper into the city. they would then we single residential building. they would break down the doors into apartments to set up new foreign positions. again, drawing fire on these apartments on themselves, leaving people with no way to leave. tens of thousands of civilians now live in the basements of their apartment blocks. it's warm of a one, but also much safer that upstairs is another apartment in a residential building that ukrainian nationalist set up a foreign posted all over the place all over the place, bullets empty shell casings, but also here a primed grenade launcher. it has been primed, as i said, it may have malfunction,

but it would be very dangerous to touch it or disturb. but in any case, this is a job for suppose the high you are the better the view, the father you can see and shoot. even if you have to climb over the heads of civilians. will visibility if there were nationalist hiding up in the top floors over their lease snipers to one of them shot at people walking down the street. and when he just kept shooting but missed a young woman walking by was in absolute shock. she hid in a local shop for ashton wisc of we sat in the closet and prayed to god because any one of those shells could have hit our apartment when we didn't understand who they were shooting at. there was no one here. no soldiers, no separatist of no russian troops. they just kept shelling here from the factory. you go everywhere you'll find magazines unexploded shells, bullets,

even grenades that failed to designate. and occasionally the vile syringes and beals, that fueled nationalist regiments. here is another apartment broken into by ukrainian nationalists that have a great view out of this window and makes up a set up a foreign position here, a variety of calibers empty shell casings. but also as in many places that we visited empty syringes. apparently the end of a vile, he had no idea what this was, but in many of these places, apartments the where they were at station where they fought from where they have there been drugs that were seized by the, the nets police that have cleaned up the place off to them to an extent, but we know for a fact that you can in national, it's a heavily dependent on amphetamines. this is something we had seen in syria in iraq, whether it was isis fight as will syrian rebels. they, they would take these unsettled means and they could keep going without sleep

without rest, without food or drink or, or water for days and days when we found drugs during the inspections captured, ukrainian soldiers admitted that they use drugs to make it easier for them to fight the population of marybell was always seen as pro russian by ukrainian nationalists . for years they tried to beat and bully loyalty into the locals. isn't that another 2 of my friends were having a drink and nationalists walked up to them and told them to say, glory to ukraine. one of them refused, so they broke his fingers. this isn't a story from the internet. this happened to my friend from the east, but that went both ways. the civilians here never understood the fanatical habits of as of and other nationalist battalions. i knew bumps. yeah. they were all tattooed and they had these rituals. they had these torchlight marches over there. they also had rights, they even put up

a fence so people wouldn't see what they were up to. the end result was utter disregard for civilians among nationalists, they never saw them as equals as fellow countrymen and women. but as fodder, human shields expendable bodies for the glory of ukraine, or ad gazda of r t, from mario pal, 8 years ago, care of announced what is called an unseat terrorist operation in the dumbass. this is preceded by turbulence, events in ukraine's capital, kiev known as the euro. my done more, if a national looked back at the roots of the conflicts 8 years ago, k of announced what had called an anti terror operation against eights, then eastern most regions of danielle and logan's ukraine's own regions. the reason there disobedience to caves, new rulers that came to power after the brutal events known as euro. my dun and the

overthrow of the president traditionally have enclosed ties with russia. the area known as don boss and east and ukraine, accused kids new authorities of a rooster fabia and refused to recognise them as a legitimate power. and to government protest raged in all major cities in the east, kia branded the regions separatists when the anti terror vibration was declared, i was in danielle, and 4 months later travelled all across don boss. it was a full scale operation with abbey ation, tangs, heavy artillery and thousands of boots on the ground involved while it was supposed to target terrorists. innocent civilians, often elderly and kids, became victims of this blood emission the would you. ringback would you do music, need you, wouldn't you deal him with an issue with it? gabriel caught my eye on your bob weimer. nobody got browse quarter you even when

you of the brutal military operation against its own people, burned the bridges literally and metaphorically, for any peaceful solution between kia and the countries east. that tragedy in the black sea port of odessa became the final straw. ah, for 8 years the slaughter of so many civilians in the don vice has gone almost completely unnoticed by the international community. since april 2014, the ukranian side has been shelling residential areas in the 2 self proclaimed republics using heavy, offensive weapons. at least 5500 civilians have been injured. more than 2600 civilians have been killed. more than 2200 objects of civilian infrastructure were

destroyed or damage. for 8 long years, rush and called time off to time for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. but that lead to key of always fell on deaf ears. uminski, the minsk agreements were killed long before yesterday's recognition of the people's republics of dumbass and not by us, not by the representatives of these republics, but by the current authorities in kiev. you crate his current president vowed to finally end the war, but escalations continued and hatred also grew. the republics backed into a corner, seemed to have little choice but ask their big neighbor for protection. but helping them, russia is also secure in its own borders and interests. mosca says ukraine strongly anti russia policies, and it's alarmingly fast. mildred's ation posed a serious threat to russia's own national security. and it was determined to do something about it so that you'd give folks a demilitarization and denot suffocation of ukraine or

a compulsory component of the agreements we have today on both sides have lost many lives, both military and civilian, and seem to be close to losing hope for a quick and non military solution. the aim was to try to be empty. my movement, which was in eastern ukraine, south to print. and yeah, what was interesting on the operational, the beginning of the search of april is that when the security concept, your trade made the decision to stop, this is tara operation. this was was at the table which is officially recognized. and so the question is, where the decision, some of ukraine or usa from the point of view of their operation. this was a nice name to cover that they started to war. i really don't want to call it and teacher operation somewhere because it was you don't take

a detour. operation with the tanks and planes to bump cities. this was a wall from the very beginning started by key against the dump bus. after my done know, your trading government was able to make any decisions without the u. s. 75 percent of the civilian casualties because of ukrainian harvey. this is something leslie media doesn't want to show, but we know that the u. s. a don't care what she will. again, victims look at the iraq. there are 600-0021 1000000 people died on the operations of the u. s. a. and after that, it's quite obvious that the u. s. h wanted the warranties that ukraine for one simple reason or from geo political interest of the u. s. u. s. wants to divide ukraine from russia. and what can be wide, 2 countries better than the civil war with ethical russians in the dorm, best against the ukrainian government? or was it was we heard from one family who've been living in the concert line between the dentist republic and ukraine controlled territories for the past 8

years. news news william assumes, well, i don't know, we aren't ready to believe the war will and soon we want it to end as soon as possible. but i don't think there's enough will for that to happen in the united states and europe are sending arms digital numbers of you. it's a, it's hard to live here. it's difficult. we are right on the borderline. i understand everything, but we want peace. we want to feel protected. you must understand. it's scary. it's hurtful, especially for the children. we had one situation with a woman. she just went out to wash to the kitchen and a shell landed. she was literally ripped apart. there is so much suffering, we are tired just quite tired. who can we turn to? nobody, those boys are dying. it's hardest for those who are protecting us. lima putin is slammed western states for delaying payments for russian energy exports. the nurses were a flood. you're a failure in the payment of export supplies of russian energy resources,

banks from unfriendly countries delay the transfer payments. i remind you the task is 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 last month, the russian president ordered companies to switch to rouble payments for energy exports. now that decision was met with a backlash from the west, which accused moscow of breaking contracts and circumventing sanctions. however, there is still no agreement among member states on banning russian oil and gas. but even putin also reiterated that an embargo on russian energy sources will primarily impact european citizens up with 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, you're paying countries are constantly talking about refusing russian supplies, which further destabilizes the market and inflates prices themselves, primarily for their citizens. well, earlier we spoke to steven gouge, a professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade. he thinks that european elites aren't fully considering the impact to their policies on their citizens. these elites have the agenda that are quite the opposite from what the, the state interest would be additional sense or what the interests of their population are. so that is why they're ready to harm their ovulation and their own economies only to confront russia for somebody else's interest. and we

already see a way of protest, and i think this is only the beginning. this is only a little breeze compared to the hurricane that will happen. and of course the political hurricane which will follow if they continue conducting there as a suicidal, a policies. and unfortunately this will hurt the average the average citizen of western european country. and i honestly don't see how this will change. i mean, i do see how it will change, but i don't know whether these elite can survive politically. what is going to come . and what we will see is more strikes and more civil unrest in western europe. that is provoked, of course, by this economic hammock being imposed by the

european countries themselves. turkey has sold a large fleet neutral stuns since the starts of the war. well, it's while the country has continued to send drones on a mission to keep on car has also called for peace talks on the opinion. polls do show significant public sentiments, blaming nato for the conflicts are these are on a boy could take a closer look at took his delicate political balancing act. they are pursuing their own interest and it's true that they are not pro russian, they're not pro ukrainian, they're being pro turks. then the war is good for the military industry. the request for about an hour the drones have increased dramatically. many countries are looking into buying that technology because it demonstrated itself to be very, very efficient on the ukranian front lines. but on the other hand, turkey has a very burgeoning, very luxurious trade with rush. i think it's somewhere in the range of $33000000000.00,

for example. their trade with your brain is roughly 7000000000. so the turks are pursuing our own interest. plus they want to be given the role of a major, not only regional, but global player. i'm pretty sure that president on really wants to be the one who set those this conflict and he over the past week. and he once again extended his invitation both to present put in and president landscape to go to turkey for direct negotiations. well, i think they had doing very well in settling that old grudges, both with with nato and more specifically with the united states and the european union. because i've actually seen a couple of major commentators suggest the, the issue is trying to undermine mr. add on piece making efforts because he's calling for peace. that's a police turkeys. official position. we've heard they had of the european diplomacy, suggesting that they could only be

a military solution to this conflict. this is the 1st time in history that they had of you. diplomacy ever said something like that. they've never heard that in li, being syrian yugoslavia. so it's pretty interesting how the tables have turned. i was interviewing one of the major turkish analyst day, and he said like, i couldn't have imagined that even a year ago, you know, all the russian outlets and how and in the west do you know, despite its suppose it allegiance to media, freedom is but they are all free to operate in turkey. so turkey also portrays itself as you know, the country of real liberty right now. let me common shortly on the american an anti american sentiments because they have fairly strong inter, again, not only because of the concentration, but it turns believe that the americans and i c, i in particular have participated in organizing several crews in, in turkey. so they am to american sentiment, this is pretty strong. there was

a recent poll in turkey, reached adjusted that 48 percent of the turks lay the blame for what's happening in the ukraine on nato and the united states. and only i think 37 or 33 percent put direct blame on russia. so it's not just 2 sides of the coin there, there are many, but again, that's turks being typical turns. the president of the european central bank has worn sanctions on the war. ukraine impacting the euro zones, economy, tre, disruptions and so in energy and commodity prices are affecting the outlook for the region. as continuing fights increase economic uncertainty, shot to bends. keyed takes a closer look. it's a storm warning for the urine. project action is needed to tackle inflation or that could lead to loss of trust in the currency. and in the european central bank, that is the call from a former pcp executive, the e. c. b faces the biggest challenge for any central bank that it could become in

itself. an important risk factor is not the only one wanting the cd to make a radical change to its policies. over inflation, inflation was a sleeping dragon. this dragon has now awoken the e. c. b has contributed massively to this trap in which it is now caught because we're heading towards the risk of a stagflation. airy environment. inflation measures how much more expensive a set of goods and services have become over a certain period. higher inflation means that the cost of living is going up. so unless your salary also is increasing at the same rate, you're going to get less bang for your buck. now the c b ames to keep inflation to plus 2 percent. but across the you, it's risen by plus 7.5 percent. and some countries are experiencing even higher rates. germany's rate to inflation has also reached record highs. vendors at the

nuremberg folk fest say they all feeling the strain of those increasing costs. my mother, you believe the energy costs. you can see it with the gas prices over the price is currently 25 percent higher than 2 months ago. and so of course, you have to allocate the prices in some way and we cannot avoid increasing costs rising, but we're willing to guns. if we have more costs, we have to think about how we can pass them on, although that's pretty bad for us because it's not just millionaires who come here . it's the case that we always want to keep our entrance fee affordable for the people. but we can't do it needs to be on foil. i mean, one thing is clear, everything that's happened is always paid for by the individual. it's the same at the gas station at the supermarket. it's the same everywhere. and of course, the prices have also increased in our marquee now, while inflation is lower here in france, they still has been a traumatic rise in the cost of living too. and that scene is being one of the

biggest single factors as to why the hard left and the hard right candidates scolded so well. in the 1st round old, the french presidential election though the war in ukraine has contributed to rising inflation. but then i mix of higher inflation woo, already apparent in the summer of 2021. as a world economy was still battling with kobe. 19. some economists say the sep, should have acted in greasing interest rates back then. it is incomprehensible that the european central bank, unlike the u. s. federal reserve, is taking so much time with the monetary policy turnaround. i don't think it is helpful to wait so many more months, given current inflation rates and inflation expectations. i have been saying for more than a year that we have an inflation problem, a more rapid tightening of monetary policy. but you see, he says it's working on a crisis tools to support countries facing those. increasing boring costs is the

rates rise for the concern is that a little too late and a more radical approach may be needed. the longer the c b way, the more difficult the calls may be to navigate geology. boesky asi, paris. the ca director william burns confirmed on thursday. this is expanding its intelligence sharing with ukrainian forces. this comes out to the u. s. senate select committee sent a letter requesting for more information to be shared with keith is ortiz at kayla moulton. with more essentially, you have the senate intelligence committee requesting that intelligence from the united states be shared with you crane. and they give a unintended purpose what they are helping ukraine to do with that intelligence. and this is the words of the letter. as we watch russia turn its focus to southern and eastern ukraine, we urge you to ensure that our intelligence agencies proactively share intelligence

with the ukrainians to help them protect, defend and retake every inch of ukraine sovereign territory, which includes crimea and the don bass. these stated goal was just sensually, you know, our effort to help you crane retake, don bass and crimea flies in the face of peace talks. as these are one of the main points of negotiations with russia. and we also have gen saki, the white house spokesperson, claiming that the united states supports the beast talks, peace talks of something, we're always going to support the president, secretary of state, or national security adviser, always going to support and we support the ukrainians in that effort. so we're having mixed messages coming out of washington on the one hand, it seems like they want to fight to the bitter, and they are holding onto some very extreme territorial claims on the part of the ukrainians. on the other hand, it seems like the united states is telling people that it does favor negotiations, and it does want the peace talks to move ahead. it does want to deescalate tensions

in the country. so the united states seems we talking out of both sides of its mouth at the moment, not a clear message about where washington stands in regards to the ongoing conflict. the deputy director of the institute for security study to spoke controversy after saying that russians are quote, notes europeans that they see violence and death in a different way. mr. robert, he doesn't need to get. we should not forget that even if russians look your opinion, they are not european in a cultural sense. they think differently about violence and death. they have no concept of a liberal post modern life, a concept of life that each individual can choose. instead, life simply can end early with death. russian, life expectancy is quite low, you know, that's why they treat death differently. well, those comments spots, controversy on line, so even accusing her of using far right rhetoric. earlier we spoke to the ceo of

cosy dot tv on host of america 1st. who says the rhetoric is rosa phobic? well, i think the rhetoric towards russia since the beginning of this con, like nothing more than a rooster phobia. and they talk about russia, the regime and the people in a way, which is just plain prejudice and big it, it, they talk about russians is all there on civil lives, treat them like they're not human beings. and it's a little bit ironic because the opposition to the special military operation ukraine is supposedly about so called human rights about democracy and dignity and all these things. but when you look at the rhetoric coming from nato european union in the united states, you are, you'd actually think quite the opposite. or you would think at least that maybe none of those things apply to the russians themselves. was all we have for you for now? do you had it was r t dot com on social media pages on telegraph channel for more use an in depth analysis monies peter scott's and thank you. be

a company ah, i ah, with
