lines, according to international treaties with todd, as you can see, it hadn't scored another more mine while monuments just soviets soldiers who fought nazis in world war 2 are be faced or even destroyed in ukraine and other european countries. the cranes, media increases its rhetoric that some hitler collaborators were national heroes. the un warren's, and that the ukraine conflict could have a grave impact on other countries around the world because of disruptions in crucial food supply chains. we discussed the issue with the anti poverty organization, oxford with broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international and i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now joint russian and danielle forces are approaching victory in the port city of mar, you pull. according to moscow's defense ministry. the area has been almost completely devastated by the fighting

a deadline given by moscow for the surrender of ukrainian fighters from the cities . steel factory has now passed. russian officials claim a cease fire regime was supposed to start on sunday morning to enable ukrainian forces to safely surrender. but they remained entrenched at b as of stall steel plant without sufficient food and ammunition supplies, but reportedly still pushed by their commanders to stand their ground. the cranes presidents lensky said on sunday that the ukrainian military is ready to fight for 10 more years. if moscow continues to force key of to give up territory, the steel plant remains the last stronghold. ukrainian nationalist forces in the battle for mario internationally, band land mines were found at the as o stall factory after russian forces took part control of the facility. ukrainian authorities had earlier claimed that they disposed of these kinds of anti personnel mines from the soviet era. now western countries have sh, meanwhile, accused russia using such mines in ukraine,

our senior correspondent with august. you have examined the situation in a cleared part of the as of stall industrial complex. these are all vehicles of the ukranian military and nationalist battalions. his is one truck that was overturned and this huge bluff the tunnel down into the basement. there perhaps you can see on the ground tunnels and areas of the each factory which is what this is. all of these vehicles were evidently under cover under this metal roof. and as you can see, there were who the stood underneath snake, a labyrinth of tunnels and rooms cumulatively tens of kilometers long. this is where ukrainian forces made their home while keeping civilians confined to the surface for the duration of the battle. thousands and thousands of nationalists is

willis. so just with you, count auto and home on the ground, he's a soldier. try it out with a civilian as russian forces the huge industrial area. this is, this is where they live in these huge get room and they define everything, all of their belongings. have you mission weapons. he is huge amount of bullets. for example, they left all of this in a hurry, as they tried to link up with allied troops, nationalists in the as of steel complex. but this is one of the reasons why this battle is taking so long because so many of the national anthem are deep on the ground, full by story on the ground here and elsewhere,

we found extensive stockpiles of weapons and ammunition. mung them things that ukraine claimed it had destroyed. but the biggest thing that we found is the prevalence police form. and he personnel live ukraine had claimed years ago to have destroyed. it's was so false as imposing a widely king, having this was sent on the lose the trip. why here there are plenty more. mon 90 ukraine claimed to have destroyed these additional mines according to international treaties. the if the thought as you see it had was for the kids another more mind with the designate up with the trip blah, over that as well as stakes to install

and sold them into the ground to set them up a move in, in cities oversee there are many will create here, here and elsewhere at the elite factory, but this does to pursue that ukraine seemingly bo appearances like when it came to of the stood its mine, anti personnel mines, still pulse aside from anti personnel mines. we also found a large number of weapons, ammunition and crates delivered from nato member states, javelin miss al, tubes polish, and bulgaria amunition, british military uniforms and much more. not just weapons, but also vehicles here had this coggan spots. we've found a dozen or so america, america. thank you. thank you joe biden. he says for these hum a vehicle tom. these i get as i say about

a dozen of them just here some in the state of disrepair, others, evidently, the sable perhaps cannibalized path. nevertheless, these never left on the each factory industrial, though almost none of the previous occupants remain here. the ukrainian prisoners of war have been transported away. the civilians held hostage here could not wait to get away. after their ordeal, he found only one lonely survivor. there is another trophy thought russian forces here in mariano listened evidently of service. you radiant service dog, formerly she was painted blue. this is an identifying elephant credenza. the credit nationalist. good with she now serves. the local fights is from then.

yes. okay. it's just a thought. what is the situation here right now? it's come here. almost clear. there was a judge. may i ask you, are there any nationalists here? no, they fled. they are fleeing as fast as they can. got more. debra. what is your purpose for now? clean up the factories territory. ah, we've seen a lot of abandoned military uniform here. what is it actually? it belongs to them. they've abandoned it. they've been abandoning their uniform changing clothes and just fleeing weapons, the wounded the bodies of their soldiers. they've abandoned everything. oh, this is the last page of the battle of mary hugo. the siege of the as of steel and ard works, industrial complex at the heart of the city where thousands of fanatical as off nationalists have fortified deep on the ground to wait for the inevitable assault.

or i'd guides the of o t for mary you pull the former soviet republic. moldova has banned the st. george, a ribbon, a symbol of the soviet victory over nazi germany in world war 2 of the decision has parked a wave of protests in the eastern european country. oh yes, yes. okay. wow. protesters shouted the word, shame calling out the national authorities for attempting to erase part of the country's history. demonstrators sang soviet songs held up soviet flags and st. george ribbons with some expressing support for russia, which has deeply held traditional ties with moldova. meanwhile, poland plans to dismantle sh, 60 monuments dedicated the soviet soldiers, that's after a memorial to the soviet red army was toppled during a live stream last month. all monuments that have any ties with the soviet union are subjected to be destroyed in accordance with poland. d,

communist zation law of the fight against communist relics has also swept across ukraine since 2014 hundreds of monuments dedicated to soviet soldiers have been demolished there trying to cut any ties to a common legacy with russia. ukrainians have been renaming streets named after soviet commanders and politicians was in 26000000 soviet citizens died in world war 2. nearly half of them soldiers, no soviet army, liberated the territory of 10 european countries from nazi occupation. freeing more than 100000000 people in those areas, a serbian member of parliament, mulish banjo says that the purpose of erasing the past is to turn people against russia. and yet, does the chim, unusual snow on the goal is simple in logical rules, to direct the peoples of east in europe and the usaa against russia. to do this, you need to show that the russians at bad and how can russia be shown as bad if it

made such a colossal contribution to their liberation from the nazis? it's necessary to cut out baseball to the story and tell everyone that the russians occupies for many years. and neo nazi regime has been developing in ukraine. it is being imposed some old ukrainians. they simply do not want anything to do with russia. even a shed pass that they should be proud of. they took chris a phobia for the state ideology. people in ukraine have been under the propaganda of the media for a long time at school. and people simply cannot hair another point of view because pro russian media abandon you craig can use that to slobbering. and while some western countries are striving to diminish the soviet union's role in the allied victory in world war 2, some supporters of it off hitler are getting increasing support in ukraine. vogue magazines, list of histories most distinguished ukrainians now includes nazi collaborative st . upon mendera long idolized by the far right extremists in the country. this

yes oh, i bun dara rivers by ukrainian nationalists and despised by every one else at least when they find out about his bro months with adolf hitler. but there is legacy has long been toyed with on the far right fringes of ukraine society. but with the latest i'll been pushed to support key of in whatever this nazi collaborates. hays being normalized in the mainstream to it was pandora who managed to bring the activities of the organisation of the ukrainian nationalists to a new level in the early 19 thirty's. turning it from an underground opening zation into a liberation movement known in every country where there was a diaspora all the years in exile. he was the leader of the organisation of the ukrainian nationalists, which was reckoned within europe and an outstanding theorist of the national movement. and pandora publications, and public organizations spread the truth about ukraine ban. durham headed the most

radical iteration of o u l. the organization of ukrainian nationalists there openly and officially fascist roots, maybe shamefully tucked away in media articles now, but back then bunder and his followers proudly wore it on their sleeves. along with anti semitism. the jews of the soviet union are the most loyal supporters of the bolshevik regime and the vanguard of musk of imperialism in the ukraine. jews often referred to by racial slurs within o u. n. weren't the only targets of been dares, fascist discrimination doctrine. russians, poles, gypsies were to be exterminated to, according to one of them dares closest allies and another hero of 21st century ukraine. it is necessary to hurry up with the liquidation of poles to their full extinction. villages with soley polish populations are to be burned down in villages of mixed nationalities. only poles are to be wiped out jews, and gypsies,

or to face the same treatment, full annihilation without remorse. it's vital to take care of doctors, pharmacists, chemists, nurses, and keep them under watch and field hospitals. when their work finishes, they must be murdered without announcement. hardly surprising adolph hitler chose bonder as his henchmen and chief in ukraine whose organisation is estimated to be responsible for some $100000.00 deaths and banderas blood last knew no limits. the organization of the ukrainian analysts valleys the lives of its members very highly . but we accept that our glorious idea requires not just a few, not hundreds, but millions to full victim in order to be implemented modern day ukraine has been repeatedly urged to stop glorifying these people who could have recently added a few pages to the rule book of iso or al qaeda, but president zalinski thinks it's a cool thing. there are indisputable heroes,

steppin band era as a hero for certain ukrainians. and this is a normal and cool thing. he was one of the defenders of ukraine's freedom. and of course, there's plenty of ukrainians. horrified by been there as monuments springing up all across the country. it's just hard to tell how many ukrainians and since any sacrilege of these nazi idols could cost people their lives. amid the war in ukraine and the sanctions imposed against russia. the when's chief says global food and energy supplies, as well as financial systems have been disrupted and will inevitably lead to an increase in poverty and hunger in developing countries beyond ukraine's borders. far out of the media's attention, the war has become a silent attack on the developing world. the crisis could plunge up to 1700000000 people, more than a 5th of the global population into poverty and hunger on a scale that has not been seen in decades. moscow has condemned the western

sanctions as damaging crucial global supply chains. russia has traditionally been a substantial global food exporter and is also a major supplier of fertilizers used in food production. now ukraine and russia produced 30 percent of the world's wheat and barley and a 5th of corn. and more than half of the sunflower oil exports have been critically obstructed by the war and western sanctions against russian banks, shipping companies, and airlines. there's a threat of potential humanitarian crisis emerging in other regions that depend on these inputs. we heard from our sam, regional humanitarian coordinator, francesco regard, monty, about a potential food crisis. the recent crisis in ukrainian now as a compounding effect, there are crises all over the world. we should not forget that there is a very difficult food security situation in west africa. there is a difficult situation in yemen. any now the part in other parts of the ward. it is

indeed true that the situation in, in the own of africa and east africa more generally is quite difficult. i think there are like some action that can be taken and adopted by the government in the, in the region to make sure that the prototype intervention to address the younger crisis and the re, something that the international community can do as well. the region including like the effects of coal reed and the effects off the locust infestation. so those are the, the element that they, they, they were the prime cause for these, for these crises, ah, injured protesters and police officers and cars set on fire. tensions are high and sweden as protesters continued to take to the streets, to decry and anti islamic group,

known for burning crohn's after. it was given permission by the authorities to stage demonstrations. ah, 3 demonstrators were injured during the latest clashes with police over the last several days. protests have taken place in a number of swedish cities, where the far right movement had planned events. now the group wants to ban islam with its leader recently saying that it was quote, time to burn the koran. despite the violence, swedish authorities have refused to withdraw the permission for the group to hold its demonstrations. let's take a look at how the latest events have unfolded ah thing .

with studying of the migration for immigration crisis in 2015. i think we were silly. flooded by me, migrants and we have got criminal criminal t s. s, right. the reason there. and we see shootings and st in small speeds for the city cities which were peace, poland earlier times. so sweden has changed a lot and yet it's not a really surprised that the people are not happy. they have one of these bands of these gangs that the cities, even with hand grenades, exploiting sometimes the something sweet and didn't know 10 years ago and the escalation to some or something which yeah, cannot suppress anybody. meanwhile, sweden and neighboring finland have raised concerns in russia as they consider applying for nato membership. moscow says northern european stability would be jeopardized. it should both of those nordic countries turn the lights. it's no secret that the territories of these states have long been claimed by nato with

large scale military exercises being held that the motives of the alliance are clear. but it's unclear while baltic region neighbors, finland, and sweden, one to turn into a new frontier of confrontation between the nato block and russia. the negative consequences for peace and stability in northern europe are obvious. moscow has said that if sweden and finland join nato, russia would have to reinforce its presence in the baltic sea region by deploying nuclear weapons to it's european ex, crave of colin and grabbed to quote, restore the balance of power. now russia has repeatedly argued that nato expansion threatens its national security. something highlighted during talks before the conflict in ukraine began, but was ignored or dismissed by western powers. author and blogger, thomas roper again, says nieto actions compel russia to react depends on these countries, on the, on the pressure of the u. s. can make on the governments then, not nature has already some weeks ago announced that they would be able to take

these countries into not to within days if they just ask for it. well, russia sees the nato, let's not call it any way, but anyways, some kind of a competitor, whatever, as a risk for the security. so if especially sweden becomes a fiddle, it becomes a part of nato. this will have a right reaction on the, on the russian side with maybe new troops near the bought a 2 hour for lunch or whatever. and also also, maybe of the russians will enforce a fleet in, in the baltic sea when sweet joins natal. it's nothing good for the stability of their budget, which absolutely no russia has imposed an entry ben against a dozen high ranking british officials, citing a hostile stance from london. now the list includes prime minister boys johnson, his predecessor theresa may, and the foreign and defense secretaries. moscow says, london has engaged in an unbridled information and political campaign aimed at

isolating russia and suffocating its economy. the u. k. has been a main advocate for international pressure on russia over the war and ukraine. london has imposed numerous sanctions against the russian economy and officials and has campaigned for the you to give up russian gas imports. it's also providing here with military aid, including anti tank and air defense systems. it has also been revealed that some british nationals have been directly involved in the conflict. it's since it's weapons, it's age, it's prime minister in person just last week. and now the times has revealed, it's very own troops when it comes to the war, the u. k. is clearly offering ukraine far more than just emotional support. so british special forces have their boots family on the ground in ukraine, despite none other than bursts. johnson himself, previously wanting mercenary members of the so called lads all me, that they could be breaking british law by going over to join the wall. i can understand why people feel as they do,

but we have laws in our country about international conflicts and how they must be conducted. but it seems the words of the p. m. once enough to tear those brits determined to fight as russia has detained. 2 british citizens, they were captured while trying to flee a steel factory mari opal, where according to the russian defense ministry, some 400 foreign mercenaries have been fighting. hayden, ashlyn and sean pena were both detained after joining the ukrainian army on soon pena. i'm serious and if the u. k. r is captured and very awful. i was fortunate of area code 456 weeks now, armand didn't. people's republic, there's a j, a cooper student. we were in the factory merkel in early i was a tuesday morning. there was the sort of removed form form 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 as

a fortune beginning ukraine was good sword. would men eventually? i see they don't make right decisions that would end war a didn't want to negotiate with steps that could help. and the war, like peacefully, it was like 1st time sitting reality. they routed from like supermarkets, like were civilians need food like survive after like encirclement. so they would take great food from supermarkets and they would stop civilians from going out to get water and is not just the boots of most recent special forces that have been on the ground in ukraine. although not so much boots, but the polish shoes of the british prime minister, burst johnson himself stepped out on to the streets of historic he f. as he strode alongside, president zalinski last week, becoming the most senior western lead us so far to step foot in the wall zone,

bringing with him not just woods of support, but a pledge of yet more military aid. it was a visit designed to send out a clear message to the well that the u. k. is there to help? well, one that ukrainian hoping that will be exactly the case. his wife at the country's detained opposition leader given that johnson apparently has zalinski, is if she wants the british p. m to pressure the president, to swap the captured british mercenaries for her husband. victor at medford chak was arrested by ukrainian security services. he played a key role in negotiations between ukraine, russia and the people's republic of dynette can le ganske his wife claims the rest was completely against the law and was done to suppress dissenting voices in the country. then confirming as cadon. i'm a telemachus guy of their physician will edition, following day of your grand individual. i appeal to you of how in exchange in my husband, who was england,

then that keith at purchase for political reasons and thought it is asians for citizens of your country. i had an as him and some pina. hello, a family and friends written i didn't. and so help me based on victor. prime minister johnson is staying tight lips. not a word about the british mercenaries is so far been spoken. although russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman claims the p. m knows far more than he's letting on boris johnson, who recently visit at k at this certainly aware of the situation surrounding the u . k. nationals, he will response sin and least trussville. tell you what that british, what day that well, even aside from the most res britton's clearly been doing plenty, they are already 2 countries standing side by side in the fight against russia, but who's leading, who? former ukrainian parliament member ilia kiva says that both britain and nato military alliance are pursuing their own goals and ukraine. look

a little so new to you. on the schools, there's growing demand and you pay society to evacuate. the capture. britton's johnson has been in a week position since everyone learned about how he was partying during the log down. he has a lot of problems and he's trying to solve them by becoming directly involved in the conflict between ukraine and russia. for his johnson came to key if to solve his own problems and to support president laskey had of yet more crimes. the lansky will have to commit the west long ago chose a convenient strategy of war and standoff against russia using ukrainians hands, or even their lives. that's why since 2014 nato instructors have been actively working on the territory of my country, ukraine, west to spend billions of dollars preparing the cranium military to kill and to die . quote, bomb iran to stop a wider war in europe and protect taiwan. that's the headline of an article

published by an american media agency. it's centers on israeli policy making. its author is upset at the growing alliance of russia, china, and iran. and once washington to strike out against j. ron's nuclear infrastructure . saying that would send a strong signal to russia and help stop the war in ukraine. the author is josh block who works as a foreign policy analyst at the hudson institute. a conservative think tank based in washington. he previously worked at the us agency for international development under the democratic administration of president bill clinton, a political communications professor at the university of to ron flood is id says that the author claims the u. s. is trying to solve its domestic problems by pursuing aggression abroad. what the author of that article is suggesting is by mold wall making by more aggressive behavior that the united states somehow is going to resolve its foreign policy difficulties. you read

a lot of nonsense every day. the auto basically acknowledges that the u. s. has lost credibility that the few people in the world take us seriously by attacking iran. not only the united states will not again anything that they will actually continue. that line of failed policies that they have been conducting in them at the least for the last 20 years. iranian government is actually defending itself when it comes to us, i guess, if call this is the united states has been sanctioning iran for the last for the years. iran has managed to go around. most of those sanctions and young has been able to actually survive and also progress under the section. then of course, you realize that american aggressive behaviors will continue no matter what

you do, you know, has been receiving end of american edition for the last 40 years. or that does it for me this hour, i will be back and let's say 30 minutes with another full and fresh look to news. this is our teacher national. but that was for is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what whole make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to some with direct? what is true? what is great?
