ah, ah ah, russian forces target military facilities on the outskirts of care that after several publications from ukraine were reported on russian territory. the lakers was prevented earlier by defense systems in the border region of belt, or it also at least uh set up a foreign position here, a variety of caliber zebedee shell casings. but also as in many places that we visited empty syringes. as the battle former reopen enters its final stages and are to crew takes a closer look at positions left by ukrainian soldiers. washington is upping its arms shipments to ukraine and that's all in spite of such weapons and eventually

ending up in the hands of criminals and extremists and the wife of a captured ukrainian opposition leader claims a husband has been tortured and beaten by authorities. it comes as key of band with a position in the country. a victory network is not just a citizen of ukraine. he is a peoples deputy of ukraine. what is happening to victor as human disgrace with what we're watching our team to national. my name's a garage done of a very welcome to the program and our top story this our russian air defense systems have reportedly been in action in the border city of belgrade. now locals reported to explosions that could be heard in the city center. witnesses have also posted video footage. you're watching it right now of what looks like very much

like the air defenses working russian forces also had a ukrainian helicopter in the cher niga region in russia, according to officials, the aircraft was the one that yesterday attacked. a village in the border region of brands in response to ukraine's actions on russian territory. a military facility in the outskirts of cave has been targeted. the machine building plant was said to produce and repair long and medium range. and here craft missile systems, as well as anti ship missiles. the russian defense ministry said it will directly respond to each attack on russia. room as you want us to give you the number and scale of missile strikes on targets in kiev will increase in response to the key of nationalist regime, committing any terrorist attacks or sabotage on russian territory with the following commons. well, they follow yesterday's attacks on the brands and bel garrett regions of western russia. the country is accused ukraine's armed forces of being responsible. now,

the russian investigative committee claims the air strikes were carried out by 2 com, but helicopters equipped with heavy offensive weapons. at least 9 people, including a pregnant woman and child were injured in the shelling. 2 of the casualties, including the child are said to be in a serious condition. and on wednesday, the russian defense ministry said moscow could target key of decision making centers. if of course, ukraine keeps bombing brushing boarder regence locals and brands have told of how their houses were destroyed. as a result of these strikes isn't of love zealously then through a lot of cried a lottery. everything has been exploding there. the neighbors have a bomb craters. all the house was also head of the beams broke in. the barney enables lu, when there was an explosion. i was lying on the couch. glass rained down, i fell to the floor, flowerpots that were on the window sill fell on me a yard. do me bell i was in the house. then i went out on the porch. it's good that

i didn't reach the gate, otherwise i would have been lying here. when i came out, i saw a blast wave that was like this way. will you do it? me? we were in the house. we looked out of the window. there was dust everywhere and then it started shaking that i went to another house. there was black smoke there. that was the one that was burned down and where a woman was injured. duckling. well, we discussed the possible motivation of caves attacks on russia with the military analyst, victor, that often if you lost 3 routes, will you have demonstrates its invincibility, by attacking russian territories. kia wants to show that it's winning. ukraine wants to show that despite russia fighting in the east of ukraine and its air strikes, ukrainian fuel and ammunition stores, military equipment airfield. that's not all he have has. he crane has a lot of forces and it can attack russia. and so ukraine strikes at border territories, demonstrating its strength and insubordination. it's intriguing the well community showing that the assistance provided by the west to ukraine is not wasted. and over

on the eastern front in ukraine, the fighting and the devastated city of maria po, continues with the russian defense ministry. now claiming ukrainian troops have been completely surrounded. archie is more at gasdio has been taking a look at some apartments in the key ports where nationalist forces were hold up. at every crossing on every street in every yard, the scars of battle are apparent. and to day 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,

leaving people with no when 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 nationalists set up a foreign posted all over the pay 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 what visibility there were nationalist hiding up in the top floors over there. snipers to one of them shot at people walking down the street.

he just kept shooting but missed a young woman walking by was an absolute shock. she hid in a local shop for ashlyn with her. we sat in the closet and prayed to god because any one of those shells could have hit our apartment. 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. 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 nationalist that had a great view out of this window and they set up a set up a foreign position here. a variety of caliber was 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, than yet police that have cleaned up the place off to them to an extent, but we know for a fact that ukrainian nation so heavily dependent on on fed to means this is something we had seen in syria in iraq, whether it was isis fight as will syrian rebels. they, they would take these uncertain means and they could keep going without sleep without rest, without food or drink or, or water. for days and days very, 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. for years they tried to beat and bully loyalty into the locals. isn't the liver?

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. but that went both ways. the civilians here never understood the fanatical habits of as of and other nationalist battalions. i knew basil, 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 the mazique bulls as fellow countrymen and women. but as fodder, human shields expendable bodies for the glory of ukraine. or i'd gazda of r t for mary jo pal. what's more, it's been revealed,

the canadian military has held to train soldiers from the nationalist as of battalion. it's led to condemnation, including from human rights organizations. we'll be covering that in more detail later in the program. but meanwhile, we go to soldiers from the captured ukrainian, 36, the brigade they 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 service. men are now said to be receiving medical care in the didn't ask republic, and they say they're being treated well. some of the soldiers say they were abandoned by their command. a warning though, their words may have been made under duress. no good. we were abandoned by our command. we were abandoned by every one. we didn't want to fight. the high authority said we will leave. they will shoot immediately. we wanted to leave mario paul. he has 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 for the leadership of the $36.00 left breaking through from mary paul leaving all of us. we a meet? no one would police out office model or is this 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 and it's the only ukranian soldiers who have been captured. russia says it's detained several military personnel from nato countries who were fighting as mercenaries and ukraine . one british fighter known as casa gandhi, who came to ukraine long before the war, ruptured is one of those who was being captured. his relatives have called on vladimir putin to forgive him and let him go. the prisoners of war convention though, does not apply to mercenaries, meaning he can stand trial,

he himself is claiming he never wanted to join the fight against russia, and also alleges the inhuman treatment of ukrainians by their own soldiers was for him, quote, the 1st time seeing reality, just another warning again that his words too could have been said under duress will be sent to you more the phone you will fail for me. i really try to reach me. i think you're correct from day one. when we went to murder you pl. i always said like, we need to leave because because as i said before, don bus right is recognized as independent and 100 as well. and if, if ukraine really wanted to avoid this conflict, they could have easily just said ok, we will leave, we will recognize independence fought in 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 power media everytime, new part of media they, they didn't want to negotiate with steps that could help. and the war like peacefully, it was like 1st time seeing reality may looted from like supermarkets, like civilians need food like survive after like in circles. and so they would take like food from the supermarkets, they would stop civilians from going out to get water like like in

a supermarket that was being looted, they would stop civilians from taking like water. so stuff like that, which made themself what taken the pentagon is upping its supply of arms to ukraine after president biden announced an additional $800000000.00 in military assistance to the country. footage from an air force base in the us state of delaware shows, weapons systems believe to be javelin, anti tank missiles being prepared for shipment. these almonds are being sent to the ukrainian military. this is who they are intended for, but i was don't quarter explains such weapons. eventually ending up in the hands of criminals and extremists. another $800000000.00 of us 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, nobody seems to care about where these guns are actually going. there is the real

threat that the ukrainian government can potentially not control all of this weapons. where exactly is anywhere. well, key i've 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 onto the chaotic streets of a war zone, but also to give them god's will. most william was tongue under martial law participants in hostilities ukrainians with the real combat experience will be released from custody and will be able to compensate for their guilt in the hot spots of the war. will 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 key to be picky though, since, according to its own military, $15000.00 ukranian troops have been killed and the conflicts 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 wyoming citizens in a disorderly way, as is currently the case the you transforms them into fighters and therefore also into potential targets for the ball without command, without operational purposes, the distribution of weapons inevitably leads to settling in schools, banditry and actions that are more lethal than 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 is 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 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 and important supply source for the black market. according to some sources, kia 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. nonetheless, key f 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 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 will have to fight further down the line while some alarming prospects indeed. now the wife of the arrest of ukrainian opposition lead a victim of a joke, has slammed the detention of her husband and criticized the ukrainian government. her words came during a press conference in moscow. and you can just be leisure till they cross the line when the situation got out of control. i want to emphasize once again that victor med, chuck is not just a citizen of ukraine. he is the peoples deputy of ukraine who is acting, he legally continued to fulfill his duties and he represents the people today. i emphasize, once again, i oppose torture violence against all political prisoners as much. what is happening to victor as human disgrace? 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. on your screens now are the photographs of the victim at the joke reference to by his wife. they were posted by the ukrainian president himself who playing the opposition leader had been detained in a special operation. you can see his handcuffs in the photo with signs of beating, clearly visible on his face. it's still unclear if midville duke was captured in fact, weeks prior to this photograph. now, who is victim adventure? while he's a ukrainian politician and one of the leaders of the opposition from 2018 all the way until his arrest, he was the chairman of the pro russian party in queue. he had played a key role in negotiations between ukraine, russia and the people's republic of the nets and la guns. his wife also complained

of how all opposition media channels have been completely shut down in ukraine. the 6 channels were close before i left 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's lindsey control. there can be no more alternative opinion, what freedom of speech. this is no longer journalism. now about 2000 members of the ukranian national guard conducted training as part of canada's bid to help keep strengthen its forces. photos posted by ukraine's military on social media. while they clearly show some soldiers wearing as of battalion patches. as being trained with canadian service members also has tried to distance itself from the group and it's near not links with the defense ministry insisting it was kids responsibility apparently 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 and operation unifier, have always been ordered not to train with members of these up italian and not to have any contact with them. while we spoke to dr. efraim zuraw, the director of the human rights organization, the simon, these install center in israel. and he begs to differ saying that the actions of the canadian armed 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. as does 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, certainly people in general who don't want their money, spent the taxpayer money, spent the training training, neo nazis, the so the site is the people lot today's of regimen or minority in, in the church and their phone part of, of this, of the regiments where the survey, so there's no question about their identity and it problematic ideology that they have. but the question is how much, how much influence these people out and whatever, whatever it is, they should the western troops. so any child should not be training them. those who knows are there directly dick guns in one direction today or nose against wound up directed us later on. now moving on from the events in ukraine to pakistan where a tens of thousands of people continue to protest after the countries leader embrun hahn was ousted by the parliament in an old confidence vote. the prime minister

support as packs on to the streets on wednesday. some clashed with police ah, the ost prime minister claims washington was eager to see him removed from his post for maintaining an independent foreign policy. a constitutional crisis in the country continues with hon insisting people take to the streets to pressure the new government over early elections. he claims the imported quote unquote, new government is unacceptable. oh, my fellow pakistanis, this is my message for you. as long as this government doesn't announce elections, we will force them for elections. you have to carry on protests in the streets. imported government is unacceptable. while the newly elected prime minister shabazz sheriff is not new to politics,

his brother was prime minister to before he was found guilty of concealing assets back in 2017. meanwhile, the white house has already very warmly welcomed the new leader. the united states congratulates newly elected pakistani prime minister shabazz sharif and we look forward to continuing our long standing cooperation. we view a strong, prosperous and democratic pakistan is essential for the interests of both our countries. well, to discuss the story further, how i would like to cross lived 2 research fellow at the university of la horse obtain ultimate dar sir. everyone. welcome to the program. thank you for joining me . so the 1st question is, imran hahn has long maintained that it was, in fact the united states behind his resignation. mainstream media say it is all just a conspiracy theory. so who do you side here with? well, thank you for inviting me. first of all, you know, we have to scientifically analyze this because there is a political bias there in,

not just internationally, but here in arkansas because of several political parties. first, we have to, you know, see what has happened recently. because a lot of political analysts in pakistan, i've seen sort of things that has never happened before in arkansas. for example, when the scene was taken by the parliament and the prime minister, i'm wrong that they will not allow no confidence. wood was basically meant to stop what happened in 2022 by 27th marshman on public. really prime minister in ron con, said that he has been, you know, threatened through a letter by the united states that the, the park is on establishment. must follow a minus win policy where the do not want to see him. ron con, as a prime minister, i thought, why? because iran con has, you know, white will go about his independent foreign policy. and it all started according to

me. in september 2021. when statesman and the director of ca, mister burns came in as a secret. was it not only in arkansas but also in india. ok, thank you very much for you. i'm in the, i'm really not constance to words, you know, providing not any military base to united states was not welcome by the state department and even the pentagon. and he basically publicly said a statement where he said that things will get tougher pockets on being true because he knew what was coming. and recently, in the public statement, the public the political parties are doing ha, spreading through the finance that is coming from the west. and they are going to held a new conference board in which you're going to be austin. so it is very important for the state institutions who listen what brian, mr. ron has been saying to the, to the bikes on institutions, he went to all the institutions like compelling that they must stop this conspiracy

. otherwise you're not going to become successful. well, in changing as well. so how do you see the situation developing in the coming months? so obviously, image hon shows has very wide support among the population. we have seen that people, you know, flocking to the street. so do you expect an escalation of violence? would you expect this to die down? you are very rightly asking this question because the political unrest in pakistan is basically a civil unrest in with institutions are basically apparently colliding with the public. now if we see the, you know, b t r b in the media rooms, you know, 90 percent of the masses in august on our supporting crime in this a huge number. and recently, when the public relations platform of box and armed forces also said that the liquor and its language was undiplomatic. and the latent intervention is inevitable,

as basically put more credence to the staff or prime minister and run. and the public is coming out in big number to support the starts of iran con. having said that writers, brian, mr. ron con, in his really has compelled about me, that they must not relied with the state institutions. the reason is that our country has been in the state for since 20 years. while we were, you know, drive the camp of the united states to fight warrant here. we have suffered a lot, almost 80000 civilians in the military. people have been died market. so we cannot afford, you know, having our own own home burned by the scenario. so it is very important for the general public to realize this that they are going to shoot on their own feet. if they are going to do anything, which is going to go live the state institutions and the general public, but the general public and the boss, if we analyze it scientifically, is a very,

you know, stable in that particular context. and i do not think so that the state institutions and public are going to collide because all the protest are peaceful. there's nothing out, you know, we have not seen anything like in the market. is there, there's nothing that has been burned by the public. it's all peaceful. well, i would like to talk to you in the office, that's what they want because they are not ready except that input a government, which every single pakistan is saying that it has been changed by the united states . and this has been the month of the united states through some of the pieces that they do not want to see any system. replacing the secular humanist democratic cases in any particular country, even in the state like pakistan, which forms is true movement of history on the ideology of islam because it was made on the ideology office. so dr. mr. ron called us of having an independent

foreign policy and having a thought of reviving the islam and constituting it to the state level is seriously. a threat for the united states is almost like that. you know, if russia revert back to it, you know kristen orthodox parenting and do it on the state level. so it will, it won't be acceptable by the international community wants to see this family in modern, in the international. and just very briefly, i would like to touch upon something that you've just said you called this new, the new cold shabazz sheriff and imported and imported prime minister. so do you think under his leadership, pakistan will managed to continue close cooperation with china and russia that while it has been maintaining and in one hand, but very briefly, if you can please. yes, of course are. they are going to align themselves, but not.
