4:05 am
self civilians have been killed in the city of murray all alone. now russia and the 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. russian defense ministry claims that the entire city has been well freed, according to them from grains forces and nationalists battalions. however, some elements are still holds up within that plant. residents of motor you pull out, being 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 guide to declare mirabella,

the entire urban area of marian paula's complaint, declared 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 ava's 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 style. to day the losses of ukraine amount to 23367 people there. but a doctor of regarding the announcement by the russian ministry of defense would mug a milestone, perhaps the beginning of the end of the battle of mario. but 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. 3 busy where, where tens of thousands of civilians were held hostage by nationalists
4:07 am
a who shot as anyone trying to escape from the city, people were confined to their apartments, the basement as fighting above them, a rage assa. i'd have ferocious in 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,
4:08 am
as on the pizza flies and in the city and how nationalists used people up 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 foreign positions. again, during fire on these apartments on themselves, leaving people with no way to live. 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 another apartment in
4:09 am
a residential building that ukrainian nationalists set up a foreign posted all over the pay all over the place, bullets empty show 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 a job for sappers. the hi 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 it, 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 because she hid in a local shop for osmond with cove we sat in the closet and prayed to god or because
4:10 am
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, love, no russian troops. they just kept shelling here from the factory. you go, every way 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 makes up a set up of 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,
4:11 am
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 nation so 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 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 marybell was always seen as pro russian by ukrainian nationalists. for years they try to have beaten bully loyalty into the locals. if a me them deliver it to of my friends were having a drink and nationalist 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
4:12 am
a story from the internet. this happened to my friend and the families to the but that went both ways. the civilians here never understood the fanatical habits, sir. as of and other nationalists 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 for the human shields expendable bodies for the glory of ukraine, or i'd gaz d r t for mary jo pal was an 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 of 42 explosions that could be heard in the city center. and witnesses also posted video footage of what appears to be russian intercept to
4:13 am
rockets in response to ukraine's alleged actions on russian territory. a military facility on the outskirts of kia has been targeted. the plants was said to produce done the aircraft on anti ship miss our systems. and the russian defense ministry said it would directly respond to any attack on russian territory. room as you would have 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. a wasn't a former marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, share 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
4:14 am
a limited set of objectives. ukraine, on the other hand, 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 browns. and belgrade regions of western russia, the countries accused ukraine's armed forces have been behind them. but you couldn't, the military is not yet commented on those incidents. the russian investigative
4:15 am
committee claims the ass rights were carried out by to combat shop is equipped with heavy weapons, leaving at least 8 people, including a 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 a talking russian soil, we heard from some locals in bounce. this enough love cell is we've been through a lot of cried a lottery. everything has been exploding there. the neighbors have a bomb creator. the house was also had the beams broken, the barney, elbows loo. 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 me? we were in the house. we looked out of the window. there was dust everywhere and
4:16 am
then it started shaking. so i went to another house, but there was black smoke there. 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 boyce johnson to swap the detained british mercenaries for husband victor immediate took was arrested this week by ukraine security services from 2018 until his arrest midmoor choke was the chairman of a pro russian party in kiev, and he played a key role in negotiations between ukraine, russia and the people's republic hadn't yet, scandal guns, and his wife says the rest was completely unlawful. damn, he could cram in as good johnson. i'm a telemachus guy of their physician, politician parliamentary of your greenwood 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
4:17 am
citizens of your country. i them as him and some piano helps a family and friends, re 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 try to be more than minimal regionally. i think you're correct from day one. when we went to another 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,
4:18 am
we will recognize independence. fortune beginning the 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, 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 to survive after like in circles. and so they would take like food from the supermarkets,
4:19 am
they would stop civilians from going out to get water like making a supermarket that was being looted, they would stop civilians from taking like water or stuff like that which they themselves were taken. sean pena was also captured this week as a prisoner of war and murder. you pull along with hundreds of ukrainian soldiers. there we were in the fact your real full in earlier i was a tuesday morning. it was the so i did remove from phone, from the area of the factory, but we didn't know exactly where that for in the morning we left the factory in vehicles. come out with this company just after boys johnston flying visits, a kia way pledge to provide more military 8 president zelinski. but johnson has ruled out the possibility of british troops officially fighting in ukraine against the russian army. meanwhile,
4:20 am
the foreign ministry spokesperson said the pm was aware the situation 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, and live trust 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. it fits, shook an affair political competition. in fact, we see a typical dictator in the center of europe. and unfortunately, today, both forest 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. for such reasons, they will turn a blind eye to political trials to the arrest from an opposition political leaders such as victims for chick unto the activities of nationalists and radicals. a lot of humour inside the army. but that of the european commission is said that the
4:21 am
year is considering a 6th round of russian sanctions, which will potentially target the energy sector, including the oil industry that's active. let me putin earliest 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 rubles 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. but there's still no agreement among member states on banning russian oil and gas. but even putin also said that's an embargo on russian
4:22 am
energy would primarily hit european citizens. but it was up in the 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 are constantly talking about refusing russian supplies, which further destabilizes the market and inflates prices themselves, primarily for their citizens. meanwhile, the head of germany is federal network agency. that's the one that oversees the countries energy needs. recently, claim that if russian gas supplies are caught by berlin, germany as reserves will only last until this autumn, or former austrian foreign minister current canal told archie would be hard for germany to deal with the consequences of cutting energy imports from russia. the
4:23 am
impact will be much larger than just the old metaphor that people might freeze on all 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 is even talk about nationalized ation, conference kayesha russian property. we can't imagine i would say the ultimate outcome. you can see how pressure is filled up against germany within the european union. 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?
4:24 am
then germany resigned to the fact that it has to agree on that and post on and guess 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 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 9 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 maintained the stones despite the u. s. pressure, we're sure. and india is close relationship to stem from the cold war. and our teeth don't call to discussed with our guest the way india is striking, a delicate balancing act between washington and moscow. united states has gone
4:25 am
through this period of unity 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 of the reverse after that was including it all. and then, you know, gone just on and you did actual moment is all, but now is with all the sanctions that goes 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 go because of distractions and means will be found to go around the sanction that has happened in the donald and russia. what we may buy from russia in a while in one month, you're a biased in one afternoon from russia. so therefore, to tell us that your financing war is ridiculous. do you think that these western
4:26 am
sanctions on russia are ultimately going to result in a new world order? no, i think that they're going to destroy the basic economy for europe, since europe is still attached to it 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? i cannot decide. what should be for want to see a long standing automation with shot 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 us doesn't offer guidance from us. this from us as to what
4:27 am
they should do, they do what they want in terms of what the national interest are. 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 thinking. i made western calls for de escalation of the u. s. ukrainian crisis. they're 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 peace discussions and try to do as much damage to russia and to europe at the same time. but what the united states doesn't see that we're being humanity is being driven towards
4:28 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 are rooted in the city of or a bro on friday as council processes 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 right? raleigh way was planned that the muslim holy book, the koran would be burnt. the far right event, featuring unseen,
4:29 am
muslim danish politician rasmus politan and his party hardline was prevented from going ahead. well that's all for now. for more stories and in depth analysis, 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
4:30 am
ah with mm. welcome to oils acquired the american approach. did it well, it could be reduced to one bumper sticker. it well could be this perception is reality going. in the early nineties by the continent, republican strategist lee asked what it made. i'm gonna use a bull codes and did it true, but nonetheless, through very effective.
