11:05 am
showing that the assistance provided by the west to ukraine is not wasted. meanwhile, in east and ukraine, fighting in the devastated city of maria po, continues with the russian defense ministry. now claiming ukrainian troops have been surrounded. ortiz, senior correspondent, more as godaddy of has been taking a look at some apartments in the key pools. were a nationalist forces were 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 during fire on these apartments on themselves,
11:06 am
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. he is and other apartments in a residential building that ukrainian nationalists set up a foreign posted all over the place all over the place, bullets empty showcasing but also here a primed grenade launcher. it has been prime to the, as i said, it may have malfunction, but it would be very dangerous to touch it or disturb. but in any case, this is the 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 really was visibility. there were nationalist hiding up in the top floors
11:07 am
over there. this snipers to one of them shot at people walking down the street when he just kept shooting but missed a young woman walking by was in absolute shock. she hid in a local shop for ashton, with cough. 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 shelves, 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 they set up a set up a foreign position here,
11:08 am
a variety of calibers empty shell casings. but also as in many places that we visited empty syringes, a path to the end of a vile here. 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, than yet police that have cleaned up the place off to them to an extent. but we know for a fact that you can be a nation so heavily dependent on amphetamines. this is something we had seen in syria in the rock, whether it was ice as far as will syrian rebels. they, they would take these amphetamines and they could keep going without sleep without rest, without food or drink o 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 mary upa was always seen as pro russian by ukrainian nationalists
11:09 am
. for years they tried to beat and bully loyalty into the locals. isn't deliver to 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 them. 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,
11:10 am
if haughty from mario pl. now what's more, it's been revealed, the canadian military has helped to train soldiers from the nationalist as of battalion. it's led to condemnation, including from human rights organizations. now it will be covering that in more detail later in the program. and meanwhile, soldiers from the captured ukrainian 36, the brigade have claimed they were threatened with execution. if they didn't go to the battlefield. more than a 1000 soldiers have been captured, according to russian defense ministry and injured servicemen. and now said to be receiving medical care in the didn't ask republic, they say they're being treated well. some of the soldiers say they were abandoned by their command. a warning, their words may have been made and a juris dismissal of we were abandoned by our command. we were abandoned by everyone. we didn't want to fight. the high authority said we will leave, they will shoot immediately. we wanted to leave mario paul,
11:11 am
the as of didn't accept us, they only had a helicopter, but they said they would only take their own out. we were told to go to mario polk . they said that people would come, but in the end no one came to us through the leadership of the $36.00 left breaking through from mary paul leaving all of us. we're meet. no one would police out office model or it is we were taken out taking in here, bandaged, fed, and watered. we are very grateful for the fact that they provide further assistance . i hope that everything will be fine and that we will all recover. ah, well, ukrainian nationals are not the only ones who fall captured by the russian serviceman. russia has announced it has captured several military personnel from nato countries who were fighting as mercenaries in ukraine. one british fighter, for example, known as cossack gandhi, who came to ukraine long before the war. rob, it is one of those whose been captured his relatives have called on vladimir putin
11:12 am
to forgive him and let him go. the prisoners of war convention does not apply mercenaries and he can stand trial, he himself claiming he never wanted to join the fight against russia, and also claiming the inhuman treatment of ukrainians by their own soldiers was for him, quote unquote, the 1st time seeing reality. a warning again, his words may have been made under duress with you so that she sent me to you, not someone you will fail for me. i really trunk through the middle regionally. i think you're correct from day one. when we went to murder you pool. i always said like, we need to leave because because as i said before, don bus right is recognized as independent and landscape as well. and if, if ukraine really wanted to avoid this conflict, they could have easily just said ok, we will leave,
11:13 am
we will recognize independence. fortune beginning ukraine was good side would and then eventually pay, see, they don't make the right decisions. that would end war good. a good example was how to media every time, new part of media they didn't want to negotiate with steps that could help. and the war, like peacefully, it was like 1st time seeing reality. they looted from like supermarkets. they were civilians need food like survive after like in circles. and so they would take like food from the supermarkets they would stop civilians
11:14 am
from going out to get water like making a supermarket that was being looted. they would stop civilians from taking like water. so stuff like that which they themselves would take, and while the pentagon is upping its supply of arms to ukraine after president biden announced an additional $800000000.00 and military assistance to the country . footage from an ad defense force base in the us state of delaware shows, weapons systems believe to be javelin, anti tank missiles being prepared for shipment. the elements are intended for the ukrainian military, but as don't quarter explains such weapons are ending up in the hands of criminals and extremist. instead, another $800000000.00 of u. s. military aid on route to ukraine. that's on top of the billions of dollars worth of weapons that the west has already sent. and for some reason,
11:15 am
nobody seems to care about where these guns are actually going. there is the real threat that the ukrainian government can potentially not control of this weapons. where exactly is anywhere? well, kim has been handing out weapons to random people on the street with no military experience since the beginning of russia's military operation. ukraine's leadership also thought it would be a good idea not only to release felons on to the chaotic streets of a war zone, but also to give them guns will mobil. william was stung under martial law participants in hostilities. ukrainians with real combat experience will be released from custody and will be able to compensate for their guilt in the hall to spots of the war. o sanctions lifted from those people who took part in the anti terrorist operation. the key now is defense. these people aren't all thieves who stole candy from the corner store. many of them were convicted of murder, ideal candidates for soldiers, who will respect the laws of war. i guess it's not exactly the time for keys to be picky though, since, according to its own military,
11:16 am
$15000.00 ukrainian troops have been killed in the conflict so far. at the same time, russia destroys more of ukraine's command structures with every passing day. and the outcome we're starting to see is chaotic and out of control by homing citizens in a disorderly way, as is currently the case, the you transforms them into fighters and therefore also into potential targets. furthermore, without command, without operational purposes, the distribution of weapons inevitably leads to settling of schools, banditry and actions that are more lethal and effective within ukraine. a number of volunteer battalions with ambiguous loyalties to kiev have already begun stockpiling these weapons. but beyond the countries borders, there's no telling to what extent these arms will help international weapons traffickers. even before all these guns were released, ukraine had one of the largest markets for illegal arms in europe. there are 2 primary sources of elicit small arms and ammunition in ukraine. the diversion of
11:17 am
domestic holdings and cross border trafficking officials estimated that at least 300000 small arms and light weapons were looted or lost between 201320. 15. of these, only 4000 weapons were reportedly recovered. weapons from eastern ukraine are becoming an important supply source for the black market. according to some sources, key of has long had problems with theft and corruption and it's military. when an official investigation was launched, the defense official in charge of it was court martialed, and that was the end of the matter. none the less, he have says it's in control. ukraine's current export control system makes a legal arms transfers from or via ukraine. practically impossible. sure ukraine might say that. but history tells us situations like these and badly look at all the state of the art american weapons that the taliban got its hands on. when it came to power in afghanistan, libya, iraq, syria, all examples of how weapons plus chaos equals
11:18 am
a lot of bad people getting their hands on guns so shore even though the west wouldn't send its own people to fight for its ukrainian ally, it can give itself a pat on the back for flooding the country with weapons, but it remains to be seen what criminal elements the west is once again, inadvertently creating. and we'll have to fight further down the line and truly a gruesome perspective. them now the wife of the arrested ukrainian opposition leader victor and madrid shook has slammed the detention of her husband and criticized the ukrainian government. her words came during a press conference in moscow and you did as the village shuttle. they crossed the lines, the situation got out of control. i want to emphasize once again that victor met, that jack is not just a citizen of ukraine. he is a peoples deputy of ukraine who is acting. he legally continues to fulfill his duties and he represents the people to day. i emphasize once again, i oppose torture violence against our political prisoners. what is happening to
11:19 am
victor as human disgrace, as i beg you to carefully look at these photographs, there are no signs of damage in any of the photos. the next one shows large bruises and bruises that they tried to cover with hair, which means that these pictures were taken at the beginning and during the interrogation. there is no doubt that he was beaten in the 1st hours after his arrest. well, these are the photographs of victrum. edward took reference to by his wife. they were posted by the ukrainian president himself who claimed the opposition leader had been detained in a special operation. you can see his handcuffed and the photo with signs of beating, clearly visible on his face. it's still unclear and a possibility that met the choke was captured in fact, weeks prior to this photograph. now, who is victor? madrid shook. he is a ukrainian politician and one of the leaders of the opposition from 2018 until his arrest. he was the chairman of the pro russian policy in care of. he had played a key role in negotiations between ukraine,
11:20 am
russia and the people's republic of bennett's gun. look, ganske his wife also complained of how all opposition media channels have been completely shut down in ukraine. the 6 channels were closed before i left to ukraine. as far as i know, all tv channels are now closed except for one. this is the only platform. this is a country with one channel that lensky controls. there can be no more alternative opinion, what freedom of speech. this is no longer journalism. pulled out over to a story that we announced earlier in the program. canada has spent around $700000000.00 training the ukranian military, including its stop fighting force, the very infamous nationalist as of the battalion. that despite earlier pledges by candidates defense minister, that also would not help the regimen which he claimed was just
11:21 am
a small group of quote rotten apples. about 2000 members of the ukrainian national guard conducted training as part of canada as bid to help keep strength and its forces. photos posted by ukraine's military on social media. here they are clearly show some soldiers wearing as of battalion patches, as they trained indeed, with canadian service members also has tried to distance itself from the group and its neo nazi links with the defense ministry insisting was in fact, caves responsibility to check which soldiers were taking part the canadian armed forces have never given any training whatsoever to members of days off italian service men participating in operation unifier, have always been ordered not to train with members of these up italian and not to have any contact with them. we spoke to dr. efraim zoer off the director of the human rights organization, the simon a, these install center in israel. he believes the actions of the canadian armed
11:22 am
forces amount to negligence. the flag, the problem is that the canadian defense ministry did not do proper diligence and did not fully verify exactly whom they were training. and you know, they want to spend millions of dollars on a, something is nebulous as, as trade a bunch of guys who have no idea who they are. i mean, this negligence, there's only people in general who don't want the money, spent the taxpayer money spent training training, neo nazis, the so the site is a minority in the troops and they're only part of this of the regiments where the survey. so there's no question about their identity, problematic ideology that they have. but the question is how much, how much influence these people add and whatever,
11:23 am
whatever it is. ready they should the western troop, so any to should not be training them. those who knows the direct guns in one direction today was the direct advanced later on it was exactly 8 years on thursday since key of announced what it called an antique terrorist operation. in the dawn bass, it came off to the turbulent events in the ukrainian capital key of known as the euro. my done, which saw the overthrow of the government eventually murray, if a national has been looking back 80 years ago, kia announced to what had called an anti terror operation against its then eastern most regions of vineyards and logan's ukraine's own regions. the reason there disobedience to key of new rulers that came to power after the brutal events known as euro. my don and the overthrow of the president
11:24 am
with traditionally have enclosed ties with russia. the area known as don boss in east and ukraine accused kids new authorities of a rooster phobia and refused to recognise them as a legitimate power. and to government protests raged in all major cities in the east here branded the regions separatists. when the anti terror variation was declared, i was in danielle, and 4 months later travelled all across don boss. it was a full scale operation with abbey asian tangs, heavy artillery and thousands of boots on the ground involved while it was supposed
11:25 am
to target terrorists, innocent civilians, often elderly and kids, became victims of this blood emission. the would choose do with you or do misery need. you wouldn't deal him with an issue with gabriel farmers co my or be, or barbara earl butler. brown's quarter years ago 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 of a death became the final straw. ah, for 8 years the slaughter of so many civilians in the dawn boss has gone almost completely unnoticed by the international community. since april 2014,
11:26 am
the ukrainian 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 damaged. for 8 long here is russia called time off to time for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, but badly took care of always fall on deaf ears. uminski, the misc agreements were killed long before yesterday's recognition of the people's republic of dumbasses and not by us, not by the representatives of these republics, but by the count authorities inc. he have ukraine's current president vowed to finally end the war, but escalation is continued. and hatred also group william was gone, or the principal does not share primary task as a ceasefire. and i've often been asked,
11:27 am
what are you willing to do for the sake of sci fi? it's a strange question. what are you willing to do for the sake of the people close to you? i can assure you, in order for our heroes not to die anymore, i'm ready to do anything in public spect into a corner. seemed to have little choice, but ask the 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, milder is ation posed a serious threat to russia's own national security. and it was determined to do something about it. so that should give us both the demilitarization and denot suffocation of ukraine or a compulsory component of the agreements. we have 2 days 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,
11:28 am
which was eastern new french, how 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 and to terror peroration a. d, c, a was, was at the table which is officially recognized. and so the question is where the decision from ukraine or u. s. a, from the point of view of her 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 pick a deter operation with the tanks and planes to 2 cities. this was, that was from the a beginning, started by keith against the dog bus after my don. no, your craving, government was able to make any decisions without us. 75 percent of the civilian casualties are victims of ukrainian army. this is something less to me that doesn't
11:29 am
want to show, but we know that the u. s. a don't care about civil again, victims look at the euro. there are 600-0021 1000000 people. died. the operations of the u. s. a. and after that, it's quite obvious that the u. s. a wanted to warn you, said ukraine, for one simple reason, from geological interest of the u. s. u. s. wants to divide ukraine from russia. and what can be right to countries better than the civil war with ethnic rushes to the door best against your credit government, or vice versa. moving on from the events in ukraine, britain could send tens of thousands of asylum seekers to the east african country of rwanda. aiming to break people smuggling networks and stem the flow of migrants across the english channel. we must ensure that the only route to asylum in the u. k is a safe and legal one. those who try to jump the queue or abuse our systems will find no automatic path to set them up in our country, but rather be swiftly and humanely removed to
11:30 am
a safe 3rd country or their country of origin. well, any one has arrived in britain illegally since january 1st could now be relocated to wanda. it's hoped that would disrupt the business model of people smuggling gangs. but the plan has drawn strong criticism from a position parties which have condemned it as costly, unworkable, and unethical. the un refugee agency also voice concern people fleeing war conflict and persecution deserve compassion and empathy. they should not be traded like commodities and transferred abroad for processing 1st, which is pretty and humane. it's cruel. we've got people that struggled from wherever to and then cross the channel and like little boats to get there. and yes, yes. is that a problem? i think they had over a record number of coming across across the channel last year like over
