2:05 am
self civilians have been killed in the city of murray all alone. now russia and his people's republic, so officials claimed that these civilians have been used as a human shields by the nationalist as all battalions in the fighting well for the last week or so. they have been holds up a resort style metallurgy plants and other areas at the moment. so russian defense ministry claims that the entire city has been well freed, according to them from your grains forces and national battalions. however, some elements are still holds up within that plant. residents of motor you pull, i've been carrying up to receive much needed humanitarian aid. it comes out of fighting is reported to have stopped in residential areas and he's now confined to the industrial outskirts of the city. juggles, granted it only our mother willow,
2:06 am
thine ty, urban area of mary impalas completely clear to the militants of the neo nazi as old battalion foreign mercenaries and ukrainian troops or the remnants of the ukrainian group, a county completely blocked on the territory of the avar style. metals plants there any chance to save their lives as to voluntarily lay down their arms and surrender . during the liberation of marian pole, $1464.00 ukrainian service men have already surrendered. the number of their surrendering is increasing daily, including those who escape from the territory of avar still to day, the losses of ukraine amount to 23367 people. the daughter of together, the announcement by the russian ministry of defense would mug a milestone baptist, the beginning of the end of the battle of mary ogle because it was the urban combat raging throughout the city. that was the worst of it, the most brutal part of the fighting residential building to residential building. busy where, where tens of thousands of civilians were held hostage by nationalists,
2:07 am
a who shot as anyone trying to escape from the city. people were confined to their apartments, to basements, as fighting above them, a rage assa. i'd have ferocious and a terrified pace. nevertheless, with the announcement that the city proper had been the liberated from nationalists and now that the fighting will be concentrated on the as of steel and the ard works industrial complex that'll be of relief to civilians who are no longer at threat. because the compound wall, it is vast, it is the void of civilian infrastructure of residential buildings. nevertheless, it will still be a difficult fight. there are miles and miles of tunnels and the underground floors areas spanning the entirety of the complex which will have to be fought over again . earlier i re, as on the pizza flies and in the city and how nationalists used people up
2:08 am
a peoples apartments as far as stations 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 turned 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 firing positions. again, during 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
2:09 am
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 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, the 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 would 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 when he just kept shooting but missed a young woman walking by was in absolute shock. she hid in a local shop for osmond with conf. we sat in the closet and prayed to god on because any one of those shells could have hit our apartment when we didn't
2:10 am
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 cover 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 here, no idea what this was, but in many of these places, apartments the where they were at station where they fall 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,
2:11 am
but we know for a fact that euclidean nationalists are 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 amphetamines and they could keep going without sleep without rest, without food or drink o water. for days and days renew, 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 mario upa was always seen as pro russian by ukrainian nationalists. for years they tried to beat and bully loyalty into the locals. the music deliver it 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 them, so they broke his fingers. this isn't a story from the internet. this happened to my friend and the families to that. but
2:12 am
that went both ways. the civilians here never understood the fanatical habits, sir. as of and other nationalists battalions, i knew from caea, 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 i guess the of r t for mary you pull ocean air defense systems were triggered on saturday in the border city of belgrade in response to what the m o d claims was. a ukrainian strike, locals reported to explosions that could be heard in the city center. and witnesses also posted video footage of what appears to be russian intercept to rockets in
2:13 am
response to ukraine's alleged actions on russian territory. a military facility on the outskirts of kia has been targeted. the plans were said to produce anti aircraft and anti ship miss our systems. and the russian defense ministry said it would directly respond to any attack on russian territory. room if you want us to give you the wrong number and scale of missile strikes on targets in kiev, will increase in response to the key of national regime committing any terrorist attacks or sabotage on russian territory. local wasn't a former marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter shared his thoughts with us. i think some people forget that this is not a war. this is a special military operation. and what that means is that russia is not bringing to bear the totality of its power, that this is a very measured campaign by the russian military to carry out a limited set of objectives. ukraine, on the other hand,
2:14 am
appears to be engaged in total war against russia. and i think they have been lulled into a false sense of complacency because they have interpreted russia's special military operation as a total war against themselves. i think russia may have to educate ukraine as to what more can be done against it to help deter ukraine carrying out attacks on russian soil. there is, there are consequences for your actions. and if you train wants to expand the war, i think they shouldn't be surprised when russia escalates it's response. well, that's escalated response from moscow follows earliest strikes on the brians and belgrade regions of western russia. the countries accused ukraine's armed forces have been behind them, but the pretty military is not yet commented on those incidents. the russian
2:15 am
investigative committee claims the ass strikes were carried out by to combat. shop is equipped with heavy weapons, leaving at least 8 people, including the pregnant woman and child injured in the shelling. on wednesday, the russian defense ministry said that moscow could target kids in decision making . sentence, if you crane keeps talking russian soil. we heard from some locals in bounce. a ton of la felice. we've been through a lot of cried a lot. we everything has been exploding there. the neighbors have a bomb craters. the house was also had 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. i went to another house, there was black smoke there,
2:16 am
that was the one that was burned down and where a woman was injured. the wife of ukraine's opposition leaders asked the british prime minister boys johnson, to swap detained british mercenaries for husband victor immediate truck was arrested this week by ukraine security services from 2018 until his arrest. midmoor choke was the chairman of a pro russian party in keith. and he played a key role in negotiations between ukraine, russia and the people's republic. sudden yet scandalous guns and his wife says the rest was completely unlawful. danny could cramming as good johnson. i'm not an actual guy of their position. will addition following day of your green, good amended, shall i appeal to you for help in exchange in my husband, horse england, then, but keith, a purchase for political reasons and false accusations for citizens of your country. i didn't ask him and some pina. hello,
2:17 am
family and friends. are it? dawn item and song held me breathed on victor. lillia, russia, cities are detained. several military personnel from nato countries, including 2 british citizens. i didn't. oslyn was captured after joining the ukranian army. and please bear in mind that the following statement could have been given on the dress will be sent to you, not someone you will fail for me. i really trunk through the middle region. i think you're correct from day one. when we went to matter you pool, i always said like, we need to leave because because as i said before, don bus right is recognized as independent and hands as well. and if, if ukraine really wanted to avoid this conflict, they could have easily just said ok, we will leave,
2:18 am
we will recognize independence. fortune beginning ukraine was good side wouldn't then eventually pay, see, they don't make the right decisions. that would end war good. a good example was how to media everytime, 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 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 making the supermarket
2:19 am
that was being looted, they would stop civilians from taking like water. so stuff like that which they themselves were taken. sean pena was also captured this week as a prisoner of war murder. you pull along with hundreds of ukrainian soldiers. we were in the fact your malware fall. in early i was a tuesday morning. it was decided removed from phone from the area of the factory. but we didn't know exactly where about 4 in the morning. we left the factory in vehicles. come out, let's come just after boys johnston's flying visit to kia way pledge to provide more military 8 president zalinski. but johnson has ruled out the possibility of british troops officially fighting in ukraine against the russian army. meanwhile, the foreign ministry spokesperson said the p. m. was aware the situation
2:20 am
surrounding those u. k. nationals. boris johnson recently visited kiev is certainly aware of the situation surrounding the u. k. nationals, he will respond soon unless trusts will tell you what the british were doing there . but my son was sure to buy enlarge lensky has a free hand to day to finally strangle political freedoms in ukraine. so lensky could not have an honest and democratic dialogue with the victim of it shook an affair political competition. in fact, we see a typical dictator in the center of europe, and unfortunately today, both forest johnson and macro and other european leaders and turn a blind eye to this. they see it like this. so it's lensky does something bad to russia than this is our guy. such reasons, they will turn a blind eye to political trials to the arrests from an opposition political leaders such as victims, the chip unto the activities of nationalists and radicals. a lot of humor inside the army that of the european commission is said that the year is considering
2:21 am
a 6th round of russian sanctions, which will potentially target the energy sector, including the oil industry. the thought of letting me put in earlier slammed some nations for delaying payments for russian energy. this is worth a flood or 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 world. almost a month ago, the russian president ordered the state companies to switch to payments in roubles only for russian energy resources. the decision was met with a huge backlash from the west, which accused moscow of breaking contracts, answer convincing sanctions for there's still no agreement among member states on banning russian oil and gas. let me putin also said that's an embargo on russian
2:22 am
energy would primarily hit 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 european countries, it constantly talking about refusing russian supplies, which further destabilizes the market and inflates prices themselves, primarily for their citizens. meanwhile, the head of germany's federal network agency, that's the one that oversees the countries energy needs recently, claim that if russian gas supplies are cuts by berlin, germany's reserves will only last until this autumn or former austrian foreign minister, current canal told r t would be hard for germany to deal with the consequences of cutting energy imports from russia. the impact will be much larger than just the old
2:23 am
metaphor that people might freeze or not. 3, should bear in mind that it's also all about the commodity, natural gas for electricity generation. german government is taking also administrative, legal steps in preparing a gas supply emergency situation. you can talk about nationalized ation consultation or russian property. we can't imagine i would say the ultimate outcome. you can see how pressure is filled up against germany was in your opinion, and it's not only from us from your brain or by public opinion. it's really from within the european union. the real issue right now is, how will it be accomplished that germany resigned to the fact
2:24 am
that it has to agree on that imposed oil and gas embargo by the european union. it's not a very long time. i would say everybody was stuff and everybody's already suffering over to india now, which is received a shipment of the russian is $400.00 defense missile system. military cooperation between the 2 states is continuing enough despite the pressure from the u. s. which is, as in the country, it's a distance itself from moscow. we obviously would prefer that india move away from their long term history of non alignment g 77, partnership with russia. now india has repeatedly said it as a neutral position towards the conflict between russia and ukraine and has been saying that stands despite the u. s. pressure. we're sure in india is close relationship to stem from the cold war. and i'll see don a call to discussed with our guest the way india is striking, a delicate balancing act between washington and moscow. united states has gone
2:25 am
through this period of unit naturalism, especially after the collapse of the soviet union. and they did exactly what they wanted in various parts of the go. but then this off on reverse after it was including it out. and then, you know, gone just on and that you do that moment is all, but now is with all the sanctions that they, both on russia, most of the world is not in favor of this. and i would say that in fact, the sanctions are causing a lot of misery with potentially cause a lot of the all over the globe because of distractions then, means will be found to go around the sanctions that has happened in the donald and russia. what we may buy from russia in a while in one month, you're a buyer in one afternoon, from russia. so therefore, to dallas, that your financing wall is ridiculous. do you think that these western sanctions
2:26 am
on russia are ultimately going to result in a new world order? no, i think that they're going to destroy the basic economy where europe, since europe is still attached to do in the energy sector and in the agriculture sector to import from russia, it's going to create a disaster in europe with political consequences. it's not going to change, it's not going to be a new order. it's going to be something even worse than that. washington wants india to turn it back on russia. why do you think it's so important to the u. s. united states? and i'll decide what should be in the us for want to see a long standing audition with shot to meet certain specific needs. there's no reason why we should sacrifice our specific needs in our relationship with russia, who you asked about. the u. s. doesn't offer guidance from us,
2:27 am
or does from us as to what they should do. they do what they want in terms of what the national interest and we will do, what we need to do in terms of our national interest. we don't see our relationship with united states as much as a 0 sum game and, and united states is no one to tell us what should be our foreign policy of how we should pursue our national interest. and united states should be little more understanding and accommodating and not play this game that either you are with us or against us. this is a cold war thinking this is not modern. think i made western calls for de escalation of the u. s. ukrainian crisis there also, they also seem to want to do anything to harm russia, no matter what the cost, what does the us really want to achieve? basically, what do, what do you want to do is not to have any piece of discussions and try to do as much damage to russia and to europe at the same time. but what do united states doesn't see that we're being humanity is being driven towards
2:28 am
a nuclear holocaust. if we continue like that, the issue now that should concern the west and russia is to start serious peace negotiations between nato and moscow. and between the united states and moscow. finally, to sweden, where riots, ropes it in the city of, or a bro, on friday as council process this class with police out of a plunge right wing extremist demonstration. ah, the protested violence with objects thrown under police vehicles, set ablaze the counts. a demo happened in response to a fall rights raleigh way was planned that the muslim holy book, the koran would be burnt. the far right event featuring unseen,
2:29 am
muslim danish politician resumes paladin and his party hardline was prevented from going ahead. well that's all for now. for more stories and in depth analysis. do you head over to r t dot com and our telegram channel? my name is peter scott. and how have you spending it? i hope having a great weekend. ah ah ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have a tree that even from taishan let it be in arms, race is on offensive, very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk ah
