gonzalo lira who went missing in the ukranian city of a week ago, after openly criticizing that country's leadership. several e u. member states are now beginning to send a heavy artillery to ukraine after numerous, please from give president zalinski. we examine how that move is reportedly violating their own treaties against supporting conflicts with guessing live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. are now letting me put in it has advised russia's military to not storm the underground levels of a steel factory. that is the last remaining pocket of ukrainian resistance in mar, you put in a meeting with the russian defense minister. he said that those areas should simply be blocked off and made clear that any ukrainian troops who surrender should not be harmed. he congratulated rushes military on what he claims is

a victory in the battle for the strategic port city, particularly blue, which was huge to i consider the proposed storming of the industrial zone impractical. i order you to cancel it. this is a time when we must think, we must always think, but even more so in this case, about preserving the live and health of our soldiers and officers. there's no need to climb into these catacombs and crawl under ground through these industrial facilities block off this industrial area so that the fly doesn't fly through once again. invite everyone who has not yet laid down their arms to do so. the russian side guarantees their lives, putting such an important center in the south as mary you pull under control is a success. congratulations rushes defense minister survey chicago has said the city has been cleared of ukrainian forces with half of them eliminated. and about a quarter of them surrendering the remaining fighters are reportedly hold up in the

underground sections of the as of stall factory that we mentioned earlier. i russian allied forces have been leaving. are you able to return to their permanent bases after the city was cleared of ukrainian nationalist troops? victorious soldiers of the daniel republic have been receiving warm, welcomed by local residents with with but the formerly besieged city faces. huge humanitarian problems as local residents like necessities such as fuel, food and water aid is being doled out in marble on a broad scale to help locals to overcome the crisis. yeah, but she correspondent, roman coastal reports on occasion. president sofa, maria val are still living without the electricity or running water. they have these

a make shift kitchens just outside of their buildings. they're still in need of humanitarian aid and we continue to deliver on a daily basis. so this particular area, it's right next to us all us thought metallurgy. a plan to and you can see all around me. all these buildings have been damaged by a constant artillery shelley at the moment there is no gunfire can not be heard in this particular area. and all we could hear our air strikes were russian. aviation is bombing the remainder of the nation as battalions that have been hold up with then a soft star metallurgy plant. and it's hoped that the situation will soon be over how it became scary for us. now. it is still not peaceful. of course, we are waiting for victory. suppose hope a clerk as soon as the shooting starts, when people start to get scared outside they hide in the basement. they are also

afraid that they can get hurt from the shelling medicine and everything else is very hard to get it because of that. and people try not to go out on the streets. they only go when they can make something to eat or help one another. and that's villa we had such times when we managed to bake brad the. there are 2 grandchildren and a little girl from the neighbors with me when we were in the basement. when we divided the bread into 4 parts. let's my younger grandson took his part and ran while the elder one just stood next to me. i told him, was me dentist, take the food and eat not that. and he said to me, grandma, no need you eat, do you understand? what more can i say we became so united we did together and crowds and we helped one another. we were, whoever had something to eat, we cooked it. when the russian army came, they brought a field kitchen with them and the soldiers came to us and said go to the kitchen and it was very hard. of course, we just didn't expect that something like that could actually happen which lay in government has joined in on efforts to find 50 year old chalet and american

journalists. gonzalo lira who went missing in the ukrainian city of hark of a week ago after openly criticizing, give leadership and armed forces are to see what some of comments he called out the ukranian government. on its skeletons in the closet. he reported from the ukrainian side of the front and now he's vanished or rather being vanished or so his friends via the ministry of foreign affairs, through its counselor section in moscow was informed that those close to the julian gonzalez, lopez who was in the ukrainian city of clark, if had lost contact with him since april 15th last time lire was heard from he was in the ukrainian city of hot and the allegations he was making would only have left key of very much unimpressed. there is a constant shelley of be done by us reach the break away public republic. south. gotcha. and over the years, well,

about 16000 people were killed there needlessly. and it was really because of the aggression of the ukraine regime, which never wanted to negotiate with people on the brake. republics. lira was exposing corruption and institutionalized naziism right from the lions den in a country that officially band all a position media along with anyone else from speaking ill of the regime. the journalist had earlier raised the alarm over some shady figures loitering around his house. i don't know who exactly, but i know that convicts were released from prison. i hear from many people that the criminals were released by the lensky regime so that none of the civilians could leave carpet. there are rumors of those men who were armed going into people's homes. this is a list of journalists, lira put together saying they had been persecuted by the ukrainian authorities for

descent. put my name on this list if i'm not heard from in 12 hours. bleary tweeted, it's been days with great regret and even greater sense of concern and zion. and more that i have to tell you that there is still no sign of our 1st guest, gonzalo labor, and sadly, the ground for concern is solid. one of ukraine's most notorious near not c henchman, hinted one of his zealots may have had something to do with lear's disappearance. the irony of gonzalo lira chilion being caught by a guy with the call sign chili is hilarious. anyway, let's hope the beheading pops up on telegram soon. that post has now been deleted. after all, lira is an american citizen. he criticized the landscape is missing. was the lensky who choked of all disobedient voices on a whim is getting international awards for upholding the values of free speech. we discuss the case with american journalists,

taylor who dock and dan cohen. gonzalez, disappearance definitely could be linked to what he has been saying. not only on twitter, but on youtube and telegram, he's been one of the key sources are people looking for was information that contra bales and to the mainstream narrative here in the united states that shows the lensky as some kind of great democrat when in fact, he's this regime, which is full of highly real nazis on, has been murdering and disappearing dissidents. and so the fact that gonzalo lira has been speaking about about this and is inside ukraine certainly could have made him a target for the ukranian government, which tolerates no opposition at all. gonzalo, we are at,

took that duty seriously to bring the truth to the public eye, his own risk at the risk of his safety and his well being. i did not have any communication with him. i have never spoken to him, but i am familiar with his work and i think that people who are familiar with his work can see that this is someone who was brave and courageous. i don't want to speculate on what could have happened to him with ukraine is government and intelligence agencies have a history of killing and torturing and harassing and even assassinating journalist dividends and the political opposition and the mainstream media in the west. of course we're not going to be talking about this just like they won't talk about how . 0 there are actual nazis in ukraine right now. and the fact that the don back region, particular the areas that have been shelved by ukraine for the past 8 years. and that there have been serious human rights abuses in atrocities happening every day

in ukraine on behalf of the korean government. this is not the only case of someone critical of kids government going missing, as a prominent ukrainian blogger and activist has been found dead in the city of china sun. the larry cooler shelf is said to have been killed when he left his apartment on april 20th and headed to his car, where apparently an assassin was waiting for him. the blogger was found, with gunshot wounds to his head. the body and arms foolish off had been using social media to help find people who have gone missing in the conflict. you also took part in organizing a charity funds to provide help for refugees. you regularly posted images from the city of care, so on and talked about issues that demanded public attention. but some ukrainian media outlets have described the blogger as pro russian, and accused him of collaborating with russian troops who are now in control of kennesaw and hulu of had denied those accusations, saying that he was trying to help make life better for a fellow residence of the war torn city earlier ukraine's president issued

condemnation and threats against anyone who tries to make a deal with the russians. who just because of the, i want to address those who aren't shying away from talking with the occupancy. if any of you are tempted by their proposals, you're signing your own sentence to go the same way as more than 12000 invaders. so far there has been no response from ukrainian officials about the killing of larry las off. we will keep you updated if there are any developments. several e u. member states have agreed to supply heavy artillery to ukraine, providing money for it to be purchased and joining a u. s. weaponry plan. but that contradicts provisions and several cor european documents, such as the founding treaty shall. davinsky explains ukraine as president, has the weak screen calling on western nations to supply his country with arms to fight russia. and those nations have, he did the cool you for example,

have for the very 1st time ever falling on the purchase and the delivery of weapons ukraine. but this is potentially problematic for the you itself. as the move goes against its own rules, member states will not allow exports that would provoke or prolong on conflicts or aggravate existing tensions or conflicts in the country a final destination. however, some suggest that instead of actually a crane, the use decision is only finding the flames of war, weapons won't bring stability. they will fuel further destruction and death calls from the ukrainian government. and its people for arms are understandable and difficult to ignore. but ultimately arms only ever prolong and aggravate conflict. i'm the role, plenty of lessons from history which show that pouring arms into a country that move to actually help about to bring stability. nor does it

necessarily even contribute to an effective resistance. the west. the leaders probably think of that said the promotion of democracy must go on. and so the ukrainian craig case can be considered as one of these. and as a consequence of the european union, referred to that support in such a way in the sandy new weapons rather than to insist and to promote diplomacy or negotiations. i don't think that this particular area we'll support will be an example of political the baby because there are so many articulated and complex social political gotcha sedation we deem while the you may believe that it's actions just that it can also allow ukraine to, for the war is now having fall wide around with occasions. it is fundamentally changed. european folk collective defense policy, and the reality of

a standalone you all meet is now a major consideration. hundreds of billions of years will be spent on european defense in the coming years. but will really make the union a safer place. i think that in contemporary word, nobody to safe due to the fact that there are many new key our weapons around the world, those. but the problem is, is the fact that to do a union relied on the support of net. so the challenges station, i'm convinced that it will be the interaction between the for the future european policy defense and the role of natal in europe. it requires a long time period, a long discussion. there is also a question as to whether such actions will indeed make ukraine a safer place in the future to the use longest military mission to stabilize

another country was in moly european forces on now pulling out from that african country without mission intact is 9 years off it began, now the weapons supplied the molly and all me remain van, now in the hands of those that you cannot control. and for some, this raises questions about the future of european alms the, at the moment flowing in ukraine. charlotte, tv sky off p, paris g 7, finance ministers in recent days have pledged more than $24000000000.00 in a to ukraine for this year. and have said that they are ready to provide further assistance if needed. but the west boring of support to ukraine has overshadowed the more desperate needs of other countries and even continents. as africa requires an estimated $285000000000.00 to adequately continue its response to the coverage pandemic, the united states. $650000000000.00 of foreign aid,

has hardly reached african nations. instead, focusing on more developed countries, the one campaign and international organization working against extreme poverty and preventable diseases says it has the accounting to prove that western financial aid is not fairly disbursed. advanced economies which have the least need received the lion's share of the $650000000000.00 united states dollars. africa received only 5 percent of the total, roughly $33000000000.00 united states dollars in s d. ours. we've heard from an associate professor at the university of south africa who says, a person's skin color and geographic location predetermine what kind of helps they can be given a most of then i see a car only in the point where the color

scheme and your location determine what type of i c stands you see for the west and companies are required on the same time that the, the, a company's a nice machine. it's a count please. so that to low, why do you me to be to, to my, why jen? are you talking about my, you know, b is keep type or are a man or a a before he can use a small k u k. that will be your eugene better man,

because there with a yes, there is outrage in germany after and identified the vandals that drew swastikas on memorials to soviet soldiers and nazi concentration camp victims. the notorious symbol was painted in the colors of the ukrainian flag with nationalist slogans, scrawled on monuments to soviets, soldiers who helped to liberate germany during world war 2 and 2 victims of the ravens broke concentration camp. at least 16 such sites have reportedly been vandalized across germany. we got a reaction from the director of the simon wasn't all center in israel. if i'm sort of the depot did, is obviously say that the russia military is acting a service similar to the nazis, which is not true because they're not denazi's. they tried to express their anger

and frustration to damage with the russian military is doing carry out in ukraine. i think the police, we try to time people do this because as i said, this is not the way the best way. the most effective way to express the approaches . instead it should be marching in the streets in germany progress the, i don't think generalizing. so my name instead of the red army will lead to stopping the war in ukraine over in poland. the state institute of national remembrance has started to demolish monuments to soviet soldiers. polish officials have announced their plans to toppled around 60 such sites in their country saying that those are relics of a bygone era. meanwhile, in moldova, the president has banned wearing the st. george ribbon, a symbol of the soviet victory in world war 2, as well as publicly displaying the letters v and z, which are being used by the russian military in the conflict in ukraine. and the don boss here is how moldova in president,

my son who has tried to justify the been the promotion of false failures should be severely punished. because this is a real danger to security in consciousness. we must say a firm no to war and its symbols, and insist on their exclusion from our communities. the symbols belong next to other symbols of destruction and death. in the ash heap of history. people wearing the ribbon can now face of fine equivalent to $500.00. but critics of the measure say that a disc, grades the countries values and insults the memory of allied victory in world war 2 . but the, the, to be the descendants of the victorious in the face of the president's party. have been the reuben of saint george, even though they are living under peaceful skies. thanks to those who one word to. i think this move discredits devalues of the republic of moldova, as well as the ideals of those who celebrate the 9th of may as victory de isn't,

was more valuable sort of which the president's party regime in mil dover has adopted a scenario inflicted on him by the west, which is also what happened with the baltic states and ukraine. unfortunately, they simply followed the command. why did they do this? to divide society the ribbon of saint george has always been and will always be a symbol of the great victory, a symbol of courage. this new law is spitting into the souls of the people. in austria, the committee that handles the site of the mouth housing concentration camp has refused to host delegations from russia and belarus at this year's annual ceremony . marketing the camps liberation according to the austrian officials. inviting representatives from moscow in minsk would be incompatible with the oath of the surviving prisoners of the camp for peace in the world. now 1000 is one of the most notorious nazi concentration camps, located 20 kilometers east of linds, austria. it was established in april 938,

shortly after austria was annexed by neighboring germany. the camp held up 233-5000 people. some 32000 soviet citizens were executed. there. we heard from some austrian locals about the cam. yes, i'm the contact so my housing was a concentration camp like many others in europe and the nazis built them. people mainly jews, died there under in human conditions. this shouldn't happen again. never again mentioned in the unit. so storage greatly. so i know that things were terrible and more 1000 of being there with my school class. we looked at the buildings and the stairs of death. that was a really weird feeling. what happened there is terrible. 77 years have passed, which is good shooters, martin fiend. it does without international help. the liberation of mout house and would not have happened. the u. s. how to love. if there are many photographs of the dead stacked and starved human corpses, the photos were taken during the liberation. those were really, really terrible images. you have to keep reminding yourself of that so that it

never happens again. the master list rushes ambassador to austria says there is too much politicized sentiment in europe over the conflict in ukraine. not don't watch him until she is amid this anti russian sentiment that can be seen both in the media and in the statements of ta politicians. i can hardly imagine this decision was not a political one. our work made us get used to various unfair accusations and the information blockade that they are attempting to wage on us. we view this as part of european reality. it is clear, there is a disruption in the public conscience triggered by the one sided coverage of past and present events in ukraine. it's particularly a shame that this is happening to ma 1000 since this hurts the feelings of the victims. relatives in your efforts to agree on a coalition government for libya have fallen the part after 2 rival groups of officials failed to strike a deal following days of talks. the country remains under

a fragile c fire broken by the un in 2020 falling almost a decade of conflict. of the north african country plunged into chaos during the events of the so called arab spring, back in 2011. when the u. s, and some of its allies launched a military intervention. they're leading it to the toppling of long time leader market offi by islam of militants. rival governments were set up in libya as east and west, sparking a new civil war that was also influenced by several foreign powers until a cease fire was finally agreed in 2020 and despite nato's roland toppling market off in 2011 the u. s. lead block has been accused of reluctance to help restore peace and prosperity and libya. thousands of civilians were killed during the civil war there with many more losing their homes. more than 1000000 people had to flee the country, but not all western nations were eager to take in libyan refugees. just by now taking a very different approach when it comes to people. seeing the conflict in ukraine,

the united states are prepared to commit more than $1000000000.00 in humanitarian assistance to help get relief to millions of ukrainians affected by the war in ukraine. well, we've also will welcome 100000 ukrainians united states. her nature violated the international resolutions of the u. n. l. c. they shield and detroit infrastructure and killed civilians. this was a foreign intervention in libya for which they must apologize and compensate for every brick they destroyed and every person they killed. the libyan people who decide who will reign and who shall not, who shall stay and who shall go nato. i wish brazenly, it will power to plunder the world, have african nations. today we will hold them accountable for all this,

especially the us and with the change of the world order we want to legally restore right for libyans, the nato alliance, u. s. to germany and the pretext of protecting civilians have been the biggest lies ever. now all these lies are god. we always emphasize that people are being used as a pretext for carrying out certain political objectives and projects sought by the international regime. we've seen this with syrian and libyan refugees.

ah, we are fully aware that the u. s. is one of the main factors is behind the destruction of libyan infrastructure and the internal systems in 2011, while pretending to be the patron of freedoms and human rights. the visa pho, slocum, if one day i met the u. s. president, i will express my hope that those slogans be set in reality, and that that will be human rights and children's rights, as he pretend on your social media platforms. the director of the asian studies center ahmed mustafah told us that the u. s. doesn't seem to be interested in di, escalating contract conflicts in other countries. i think if america wants to boot and full post the problem that they can, but they will not because america mediate and just administrate or manage the conflict, but never a sentimental any

a conflict. and we have another proof of what's happening over there in atlanta, in palestine, and what's happening and just as well, it's called related to all of that, the full. yeah. he put the existence on there to states, britain. i'm and i need to as well, in such a situation and this combination between the sweet situation and ok and then libya and palestine is very, very similar. and it should be treated as well in media with the same important like winning parts because it's one of the biggest was a lot of the oil and gas light. and it should be for the 1st place you on the whole people's life. no, just for the west, all the nato america, america is getting benefit from the existence of the situation that you all think situation of the media. and this is exactly how it benefit from that in order to be made in libya, as long as it can to be in the country to find

a cheap resource for the oil and gas over there. that does it for me this hour, i will be back about 30 minutes with another full and fresh news. this is our international ah, the u. s. a claim they are continuing to say massive military aid to ukraine. at the same time, washington appears to have no interest in a negotiated end to the conflict. this begs the question, what is washington's policy goal? could it be direct conflict with russia? a
