a they should know that our response will follow at a lightning speed where we have all the tools which no one else can now postal. what flawed a mirror put and declare as will be the response to any outside interference against russia. so fences in ukraine also coming up on the program, no gas for a poland on bulgaria until they pay for their imports in roubles. as russia turns off, it's up to you commission chief slums. the decision as on justified on the the u. s. continues to send thousands of its weapons to ukraine. some defense contractors are warning up shortage is a hedge, as they clock off, huge profits with

from moscow to the world. this is our t thanks for choosing us for global news update. today i'm union. russia will retaliate lightening fast decisively to any outside interference targeting it's ongoing military operation in ukraine. that's want vladimir put into a russian legislators today. during a working trip to st. petersburg is list toto was limited. so if someone from outside decides to interfere in the ongoing operation and will post strategic threats unacceptable to russia, they should know that our response will follow at a lightening speed. we have all the tools which no one else can now boast. ult. i'd like to stress that all the toss of our military operation in don't bus and ukraine will be successfully tackled for sure. our soldiers have managed to avert a real danger looming over russia. russian president vladimir putin certainly shed a lot of light on the current state of the conflict in ukraine at this meeting with legislators in st. petersburg. most importantly,

he said that all of the objectives of russia special operation are going to be accomplished. he said that russia was always in favor of ukraine as an independent, neutral country. and that moscow cannot be blamed for the failure of diplomacy to work things out. in response to economic sanctions, putin said that russia has the potential to become a world leader in the field of technology. and that all measures possible will be taken to defy attempts to isolate the country. now we also heard from the russian president on a plans by the ukrainians to attack crimea and don boss, let's take a listen of whom new it. as a friend, russia favored the establishment of an independent ukraine back than we expected ukraine to become friendly, that we will move forward together, bolstering each other in the new historical context. suddenly, nobody expected an anti russian nation to spring up on historical russian lands. then ukraine was pushed towards a direct confrontation with russia. i'll remind you unfortunately,

the plans including a military attack on crimea and dumbass were enshrined in ukraine's doctrine documents and the cranium people were destined to become a consumable material duration. now it's important to note that russian president vladimir putin statements come as we're seeing more and more attacks on russian territory that moscow was blaming here for just last night. and this morning. explosions were heard throughout russian border regions, including belgrade course and varone as these. nobody was killed or injured, but these are far from the 1st such attacks actually, and we've been seeing them happen more and more often as of late even back at the beginning of the military operation. when i was reporting in russia's border region of our staff, we saw a lot of shelling there as well. but what's different right now is that western officials are now openly calling for ukrainian troops to attack russian territory. let's take a listen. it's completely legitimate for ukraine to be targeting in rushes that in order to disrupt the logistics. oscar already reacted to that statement. it said

that if the ukrainians were to attack russian territory with u. k provided weapons that russian forces would retaliate by attacking decision making centers in kiev. but this all really looks, these attacks are just one theater of what looks to be a larger confrontation between russia and the west. in fact, prudent said that this is all actually happening on the backdrop of a long wage economic war by the west, against russia, to isolate russia's economy and that the west has shown little willingness to sit down at the negotiating table. well that's dell of into that with dummy mc. alba. and from the ron paul institute for peace, prosperity, the grip have you on the program. daniel? are these words from love or do you see them directly linked to the the huge arm supplies? no flooding into ukraine from the west. i think it's very clear that the,

that the u. s. and it's nato allies are attempting to ramp up support or ramp up the transfer of a weapons to ukraine. that's the reason why. so many of these rail depots were blown up over the last few days to prevent, prevent them from getting from west to east in ukraine. so there's no question that the ramping up there is no question that the there is a bit of desperation on the part because i think as we know, i was just coming to a quick close with the closing of the culture and, and on bass. and i think that nato in the us are desperate to keep the war going. i talk to believe that they actually think the ukraine could, could win this, even though secretary austin said they could will, while the russian president had to say, will it in any way affect the supply of arms to ukraine? do you think will western states be more cautious? i'm afraid they won't, because they believe their own rhetoric. they believe that russia is bluffing. it doesn't matter what you think of putin or russia or the invasion. one thing that's

been very consistent this entire time is the president has done what he said he's going to do. this goes back to december when the new documents for a new security architecture, when reduced, et cetera, et cetera. he's done what he said he would do. he should be taken seriously. there's a huge danger that a war will erupt because of a misinterpretation or refusal to believe that the russian side is saying what they believe in what they will do. once at the right tone, do think his, his rhetoric was a to combative. i don't know, i can't answer that. i'm not, you know, i'm not in that business. but i can say that if the shoe on the other foot and the chinese were armor, the russians were arming an insurgency in mexico and using their weapons to kill americans in california, texas. the u. s. would take a similar tone, probably even more confrontational tone, but unfortunately, american analysts never see the rest of the world through the eyes of others. do

you expect any response from western states to the president's comments? i don't know, i don't know what's going to happen. i'm afraid that the worst is going to happen. i'm afraid you're going to see, for example, hit unopposed. busy airfield to make the point very clearly. i hope that doesn't happen. obviously, the u. s. must know that this is a desperate situation for ukraine. why are they continue with and why more importantly, why is it in any remote way in america's national interest to be provoking a war over the borders of ukraine? no one has answered that question yet. johnny, i know you could answer this for quite a quite a while, but i'll just press you on props. what do you think is the is the biggest one issue here? love him or putting said he, he always expected friendly relations with the korean. i never saw it becoming an anti russian state. where did it go wrong? and went wrong when the united states over to the government in 2014, they were predecessors to 2005 with the orange revolution. but the overthrow in

2014, put in a power that objectively hostile toward russia, the repression of russian language. that's when the war started. the war started in 2014, not february 24th of 2022. but nobody in the us understands that and our media won't cover that part. just finally, the un chief who visited russia this week said that the global body is where all grievances have to be solved. why then, hasn't that happened in this case? well, remember after the book of so called massacre, the, the russians immediately asked for a security council meeting to investigate in the united kingdom said no, we don't want to investigate it. so it does make you wonder why they are more involved. there's certainly a lot of pressure to quote, isolate russia, isolate prudent, and i think that probably has a lot to do with it. daniel, many, thanks for your thoughts today. donna mcgowan from the us base, ron paul institute for peace and prosperity. russia

has shut the top solid gas supplies, the poland unbowed uria, the energy john gas from cited the countries failure to pay for their imports in roubles on time. i think that's any unauthorized use of trans gas destined for other buyers could result in further cups. the chief, i slammed the decision of on, justified the, you know, send by guests from that its unilaterally stopping delivery of gas to customers in europe. is yet another attempt by russia to use gas as an instrument of blackmail. this is unjustified and unacceptable. and it shows, once again and reliability of russia as a guest supplier you are was quick took, here's moscow black male in the to you countries that are almost completely dependent on russian gas. the president of the european commission now says that the work should be intensified to bring as much director with a new union as possible to minimize the negative impact from this decision. and also she says, a very interesting thing that right now,

poland and bulgaria are receiving energy from their neighbors. so they are continuing to receiving russian gas. but just someone else is paying for that. and gas prices, of course, are much higher which sounds a little bit like absurd. various european politicians and experts claimed repeatedly that europe is not capable of given up russian gas. and this is why and this tending that many countries have already accepted pain in the way russia once among them, hungry austria, germany here is austrian, a chancellor explaining but you know, it's items need to be of you thought the we, i mean, the ostrich mineral oil administration stock company accepted the payment terms as the german government, the payment conditions were found adequate to comply with the conditions of the sanctions. it was important for us and this is very important for you to make it clear. the states can still pay in your is or dollars or any other currency. they just have to open accounts in russia, gas from bank,

so that later they are payments are converted into roubles. so it doesn't make a big difference, actually. plus gas from claims if notified, both poland and bulgaria in advance about the suspension of the russian guest if the payment is not made. so this is what happened. they were warned, not frat and right. the russian presidents spokesperson also stresses that this decision is rush reaction to numerous unfriendly step stores more so you know that the country's economy has been, he dramatically because of numerous packages of economic sanctions. so who's black mailing? who that's the question ready? seeing of course, a huge cost of living crisis in europe. is that, or a disconnect between what officials and seeing how people are actually dealing on a day to day basis is going to make the, the current situation worse. while europe is dependent on russian energy and of course given adopt would fail immediately and everybody knew that. and everybody was aware about the consequences and they have been talking about that. now we see

that the market is in turbulence. clearly, european gas prices rose by as much as a fees, but the sad thing is that ordinary people are those paying the highest price we hear right now, for example, that some people in europe now have to choose between paying their energy bills or buying food because it's getting hotter and hotter everyday to afford was 3 a finish that will london has stated it will be russia that suffers the most over it's gas payment rules, claiming not turning the top off on bulgaria and poland will only lead to greater global isolation. halting gas supplies will have a very damaging effect on russia as well because it is becoming further and further, more and more. not just a political pariah, but any comic pariah. the political rhetoric really needs to be torn down because this is a very serious problem. there is a real yes, embody relationship that has existed between europe and russia. if you look at the

shan of the russia gas and you're going to be just, i don't $14250.00. be see him. you know, the crashes in europe is actually 5 times out of wishing. so i would rather have, you know, what to say me goes making it is having that judgment and actually trying to solve the current crisis. you want, i want to research the jewish and to the actual battle grounds in the ukraine. conflict, russian or forces have reportedly destroyed hungers in the se, offer lucia region, which were said to contain weapons delivered from ukraine's western allies. the strikes were carried on by cruise missiles, the russian m. o d claims 59 military targets were hit in ukraine overnight. in areas where national groups were located from the city of mario, for one of the main front lines was a key topic of discussion during talks in moscow on tuesday, between the united nations chief and russia's president on foreign ministry. antonio gutierrez said,

agreement had been reached to use un resources to help civilians leave the hours off cell steel free work. some people are believed to be sheltering. the industrial zone remains a hold on for far right. nationalists fighters who have refused to lay down their arms. they murray, the resident we spoke to names, locals were being used, as you mentioned. since they were hiding in the 70 fat house in the basement on the 1st floor. who is hiding there? not teeth nazis. whereas off i do not know which one of them it was did they have chevrons, some kind of symbols? well only creating military, have these ribbons and everything else. i do not know the answer for the national guard or someone else did. they offer you the chance to evacuate, where you used as a human shield for them. well, of course they were high. do you know, house entrance had artillery the a russian pilot serving jail time in the us. so has been released in a prisoner exchange between moscow in washington. now it's according to the russian

foreign ministry. constantine ship that was sentenced to 20 years in prison, back in 2011 1st supposed involvement in drug smuggling. he's not being swap for american student and a former us marine trevor. read this job in russia for resisting arrest and striking a police officer russian pilot ya to shank, who was jailing, sparked a sponsor between the nations with moscow, claiming the arrest broke. the vienna convention on diplomatic relations russian politician, ria boots, and we also serve time in non american jail. sees the u. s. would prefer to keep the darker parts of its prison system, locked off to the united states. they didn't care about their own citizens. they just didn't want russians to go home because it was me and dad, they have been unjustly serving time in the us prison. also they, as i did when i return, they could tell the truth that american prisons are not like they show movies. and

they actually do taught for people psychologically physically and they do or keep them in a very hard condition. there is a big difference between what the medic i'm say and what they actually do. and obviously the gesture makes change. gesture means that russian diplomats found words and found an offer to the united states that they, they couldn't reject. and it just means that this is incredible victory or russian diplomats for despite all the hard situation of the world's andrews before they're in the united states, they found a way to successfully finish the negotiations. the united states will face a shortage of stinger anti ur cross systems in 2023 because so many of them have been sent to key of to arm ukraine. that is the warning from the arms manufacturer

and major u. s. defense contractor re field. however, the conflict has been good news for raphael. according to the company's recent report, it clocked up sales of almost $16000000000.00 in the 1st quarter of this year, about 3 percent over 2021. and not financial boost comes courtesy of stinger missiles being one of a major weapons delivered to ukraine as well as javelin. and the time missiles since rushes operation began. 1402 anti aircraft systems have been sent to kia forces with some official estimating washington house given away nearly a quarter of it stalks and to curb the shortage. the u. s. defense department is seeking more military equipment to be distributed by other organizations. the departments asking for or defend santee armor, another systems from across the military industry, and is exploring ways to run the production. former cia analyst,

laurie c. johnson told the program defense contractors season conflicts to drastically push sharp spending on arms. the united states congress is poised to the defense budget of 800000000000, if not more so the companies are not hurting at all. this is that, you know, they love this, trying to think that it gives them a rationale to justify expenditures or weapons systems. we still are missile this 1st bill said 1981. this is the equivalent of sending 1981 lot to somebody. it's a new audible with lamp. and number 2, it is a weapon system that frankly was designed for technology in the 1980s. and over the last 30 years, the united states had never flawed a country that actually had a real error. so now there's a weapon system is being used in ukraine,

and it has not been used effective when i was given the stingers in 1986 was not the central intelligence agency. we were dealing with it in terms of arming the router enough can stand to shoot down the soviet telephone. it was effective back in the 1980s, but it had still had limited effect. we're now in 2022. this technology it's, it's 41 years old. i don't care how much they've updated the foundation of it is, it's a 41 year old weapon. basically the united states is giving away a weapon system. that's not obstructive against the 1st world military. and russia is a 1st world military was speaking of big numbers, global military spending has no surpass 2 trillion dollars with the u. s. sitting firmly at the top of the tree, the latest figures show it spends more on its military than the next 9 nations combined. and some are increasingly questioning if the country's got its priorities

the right way around. it comes as president biden's approval rating, hit a new low with 37 percent of respondents strongly disapproving of his performance in the oval office. the survey shows people want the government to focus more in inflation and soaring petrol. prices as well as surging crime rates, immigration, and election integrity was also a concern to americans, our businesses raising their prices on getting ever bigger profits. a recent study has shown average profit growth as currently runs 50 percent. and look at this, some big name brands like the retailer at motel, i clocked in incredible numbers. they're up 111000 percent since 2020 political analysts. garlan nixon believes the us government's priorities are not what the public wants them to be. what we're looking at is

a country that has its priorities upside down and inside out. and here's what i mean. you know, the, the duty, the 1st duty of a government is to take care of the needs of the people. our government now takes care of the needs of a very small group, a very powerful, well, the oligarchy. so the military spending, interestingly enough, is partially about maintaining world hedge money. well, that's falling apart, but trying, trying to maintain world edge of a germany. but the other big part of it is, it's about enriching a small group of very wealthy people. our government has been wholly captured by the powerful oligarchy. i mean, we always use the term oligarchy. we're referring to russia, crane, or other countries. but none of those oligarchy are nearly as wealthy as the jeff bezos in the line mosques and the co brothers in america. and they have wholly capture the u, the u. s. government. so if you look at the priorities of the u. s. government in

who they're representing, one could argue that yes, they've got their priorities and in order because the people that they are representing are getting in rich as far as the other 330000000 of us, we no longer rank very high and their list of priorities ukraine is important to the of the neo cons, to the beltway insiders, the pro war, and i'll use this term, the fascist pro war about we insiders in washington, d. c. they see green at the top priority, but the people on the street are concerned with, you know, feeding their children and keeping a roof over there. russia has called quote provocative statements from ukraine, promising to occupy the breakaway trans nice to republic, if moldova request sit here for a year accused moscow destabilizing the situation, or when she calls me, unless she says, we clearly understand that these are the steps made by russia she special forces are working there. it's not about fake news anymore,

and we understand the goal is to destabilize the region to threat in moldova, moldova should call ukraine and romania for help due to the deteriorated situation in trans, in easter. if moldova asks ukraine, we can take trans nice or under control. ukrainian armed forces have enough strength for that. transistor is a breakaway region, although over which has rushing peacekeeping forces station there. it also has a long border with ukraine. the situation in the area deteriorated on monday after a local government office was shelled, a radio must and military bases were also targeted. and on wednesday morning, firing, reportedly from ukrainian territory was heard near a huge arms deco reacting to ukraine statements. moldova said, the only solution concerning the transmitter issue is a political one, but the head of the republic claimed efforts for under way to drag it into the

wider conflict. here's the view of local pardon member andrea. the former foss regards keeps felt. you pretty much, we need to view the interview of various stove h as well as some other statements by such characters as bodacious and a deliberate provocation. and at the same time, an attempt to force trans nice did to make statements that can be used against us. so we have to keep powder dry ha, security forces do that. but at the same time, when to stand that both way and the russians can be provoked to do some unreasonable steps, ukrainian leadership is now trying to provoke russia in different areas. it seems trans east has become a hostage of this situation to some ukrainian politicians. look at it as rushes ally, relying strictly on facts we can assess accordingly. the attack on tourist paul as well as the explosion at the radio mos transmitting russian radio to ukrainian territory, as well as some other actions. in any case, it can be seen as a provocation. we proceed from the premise that as our president said, those attacking the state security ministry building hate in ukrainian territory.

china is demanding an investigation into a terrorist attack and pakistan which left free chinese nationals and one pakistani citizen dead. on tuesday, in the city of karachi, a woman wearing an exclusive, vast detonated device next to a bus with chinese teachers on it. i saw the university. it's the 1st case this year of an attack on chinese citizens in pakistan. we got reaction to be in some from victor. gov, vice president of the center for china and globalization on firstly shaheen, rasa independent analyst and commentator on international security efforts. first of all, this is the 1st terrorist attack that involves a female suicide bomber to be very shy of box. not educated forces may not have seen this coming because in boxes on. ready females don't actually have to go through the same amount of screening and security processes as that men do,

due to cultural reasons, the political uncertainty in august on new to the this m, it all stalemate over when the elections are going to happen. and all that. this is certainly feeding into this entire national security paradigm where millicent groups are taking advantage of this uncertainty and using it to you know, carry all deadly attacks on the water in the tribal regions. and now, as we've seen in major city this particular terrorist attack apparently was targeted against chinese nationals. and they apparently had a particular reason to try to d stabilized china package side of the friendship and cooperation. we need to come them such terrorist attacks against chinese nationals and against the innocent people in pakistan. and we also need to do whatever we can to make sure that china, pakistani friendship and cooperation are strengthened rather than weakened by such terrorist attacks. and that is

a route if you'd like to delve deeper into any of those stories. may i suggest r t dot com as your go to destination? i'm you know, now goodbye. there are 2 kinds of conflicts being fought in ukraine. a western design in controlled propaganda war targeting russia and a russian military campaign that is changing the security dynamics of the european continent. and western propaganda is hell bent on escalation with

aah, ukraine, a big and rich country that's always been hand in hand with russia. until recently . 2014,

a qu divides ukraine and leads to fratricidal war and on a war that continues to this day. on the edge of a large field near lo ganske, the mass grave. local say that the people buried here are mostly civilians who are allegedly killed by ukrainian paramilitary groups in the summer of 2014 or so does this what i missed and acquired. so what did of stuff, but just thought merely as it would be the, when the british scuttle, car was stolen, crane said things of a sudden form you not said anna. so rocca leads a special committee for collecting evidence of the ukrainian government, alleged walker arms against the people of la guns. when you go about doing this,

i wouldn't think there are many burial sites like this and done bus. i'm here for 5 minutes and then i'm told the 1st 5 people they found it was 5 decapitated head. they were all civilians. who does this to people? you can't say that there isn't. there wasn't walk right for me in the area around venetia, verifica, a village and, and against the people's republic. 36 civilian bodies are being examined. mm hm. georgia license and american journalist claims he repeatedly sent reports of alleged crimes like this to european and american media. my hope is that this begins the process to bring this into an international for.
