ah, with russia reportedly resumes its offensive and more you pulls us off style. steel gloves. cells, ukrainian forces are accused of breaking the ceasefire earlier in place to evacuate civilians to safety. let them put not lines, new tit for talent economic measures in response to western sanctions. against russia, the list could include a bomb on raw material to export and also i had on the program today, don gary and foreign minister slums, what he describes as unjustified attacks by the west over buddha as position on russian energy supply with the indian prime minister november modi,

visit denmark on day 2 of his working visit to europe gums, a backdrop of western pressure on new delhi to join sanctions against russia, a across the globe around the world. this is our chief pleasure to have your company today. my name's union. o'neill, ukrainian forces have reportedly used the ceasefire at mario bones. i was off stell plans to move into new firing positions. the russian military attacks on military fortifications of nar, reportedly risen with the earth strike sound artillery used in the offensive gums as a cease fire was announced in the area for several days with more than a 100 civilians evacuated to safety during that time. meanwhile,

moscow is continuing to target ukraine's military infrastructure in other regions. ah, well, in the latest strike, russian forces had a logistics center our military or a field near the southern city of odessa. the facility was being used to deliver a foreign weapons to ukraine and was 1st hit over the weekend. the strike destroyed unmanned aerial vehicles, missiles and amunition russian president vladimir has announced a new sense of economic measures in response to western sanctions. the decree prohibits, among other things, are bound on some exports of raw materials to western companies. as i explained to me earlier by our t secret santa. this is yet another step that the russian government is taking in

response to the unprecedented pressure that it is facing from the us from the you and their allies. and according to, while the decrees signed by vladimir putin, the russian government has 10 days to come up with a list of entities, including both individuals and businesses that will be blacklisted from making any deals with the russians with the russian business with the russian economy. and in fact, not only the russian government and the russian businesses will be, will no longer be bound by any contractual obligations they might have with the people with the entities on the list. but in fact, they will be outright banned from making any deals, any transactions, any financial operations. essentially, this is the list of the most toxic and radioactive, you know, entities for the russian economy. so it is yet to be formed. again, the russian government has 10 days, but the ramifications can be significant because the ban it includes, for example, the export of goods. if it is in favor of these band companies of these sanctioned

individuals, if they were to be the beneficiaries of such exports of such deals and so on and so forth. now again, this is significant and we're of course, yet to see who and what companies will be included in this 1st version of the list . and i say the 1st version, because we've seen no indication that whatever 1st world version the 1st draft we might see coming for coming and published by the russian government. there's no indication that it will be the final one. in fact, quite likely, if russia was to face more pressure from the u. s, and the u. this list will be expanded even further. again, this is a, something of a mirrored response. a tactic, the rush, a strategy that russia has been following in the past few years, because of the e. u and the u. s. they already have very similar lists, the list of the same nature of russian business men of russian companies that are

in fact toxic for the u. s. and the e u. economies. in fact, we have seen several russian managers, members of the board and ceos resigned from their position so that those companies are no longer affiliated with them. a very similar measure now to very similar step taken by russia taken by the russian president, hungary foreign minister has claimed his country as being unfairly attacked over its spells on russian energy supplies. we're looking at this issue solely from the perspective of hungarian national interests. we're not interested in what the still the west think about it. the real security of supplies is an issue for us because it's currently physically impossible to run the hungarian economy without russian oil. minister c r 2 also pointed out hungry against iran, 65 percent of its oil from moscow. budapest confirmed earlier it wants bok unimed

bar go on russian energy and could veto you. sanctions on the countries all industry hungry was also among the 1st european countries to agree to allow the conversion of their gas payments to roubles. that comes as a radical ukrainian website, known for naming and shaming those at teams. enemies of the state out at hungary and prime minister victor or bond to its list. the let accused him of being the only you leader to refuse to allow the passage of deadly weapons for ukraine through the country's territory. besides branded hungry, his leader, an anti ukrainian propagandist on the accomplice of, quote, rushing crimes. the secretary of ukraine's national security and defense council, also accused hungry of wanting to seize part of his country's territory. and even being informed of russia's military operation in advance. the move provoked an angry response from the deputy chairman of russia's security council,

the mitre made viet it, but this rate soon enough, brighten european capitals. ukrainian. nazis will personally deal with any inconvenient superiors and will separate the lambs from the goats. they will decide who to exclude from the happy ranks of ukraine lovers to morrow. so the presidents and prime ministers of france, germany, italy, and others, but where you are now under their suspicion of some more reaction to this political commentator george, emily believes that you is seeking ways to punish hungry for victor abounds, aim of maintaining good relations with moscow. owner is victo as distinguished himself from the, from many countries in the west. well, in declaring that this fight between your brain on russia hunger is fight. i mean, whole battle ready cause problems on the slave with the european union. i mean, the european union is not bringing action against him to the views of any

funding. he has been trying to think more ways to punish it's going to or but it's very important for hunger is national interest that it may go to relation russia. but other people, security reasons, but not bubble for energy. and this is when hungry gets all of the energy from it's pretty much, you know, 100 percent of its energy comes from russia or bond may st. relation with rush, track, indian prime minister and render moody is only a diplomatic to her of europe. it's his 1st visit to the west since the start of the ukraine conflict coming against the backdrop of diplomatic in fighting and pressure and new delhi to join the sanctions regime against russia correspondent archie, to sing us the latest dry minister, not in the mo, the on his 2nd day of the tour in europe met danish prime minister,

met frederickson. and in their bilateral talks, they talked about so really shoes, including by nature trade on technology, innovation in r g, especially, you knew, i believe in our g. m as well as you create, in fact, prime minister, not in the movie called for peace in ukraine, and an end to war. you couldn't hear some good, good at the start of the wall. we immediately called for cease fire and reiterated the dialogue is the only way to find a solution that we know when is at the end of this wall. everyone will suffer loss is. i'm a good, that's why we won't pay energy prices sky rocketing food shortages. the spreading effects, eat every family in the world, women, yesterday, brad, mr. not into more be met. german chancellor or lock shows. and in their bilateral agreement, they, in fact agreed to set up

a green hydrogen dos force. apart from that, germany yesterday. hi, demonstrations for and against india in the context of ukraine. however, i, mr. moody to these stores has refused to criticize or condemn russia. in fact, even today, in his meeting with the danish prime minister, there was no mention of russia whatsoever. the law stopped our friends to moby in this visit. we'll be in fattest, where he will meet present emanuel macaroni after his recent re election. in fact, to the store that has been, have been attempts by the european leaders to pressurized ramen's to moby to condemn russia. but that rems to more the has so far, not, not only not mentioned russia, but has continued to buy russian crude oil by the discount

prices. all i dug a little bit further into van to had kenesha gower, a policy expert on indian affairs. he believes russia has always been an important strategic partner for deli and western politicians. will change about i don't think so in didn't. i mean, it's still really laid into condemning. but if you will, that russia has been in the us strong ally that india has gone, but it's not in the past. maybe it hasn't been russia that has come forward and supported india. so today, if you look at kind of assumed that it would be under when mr. now to put in is one of the school yesterday. and it seemed our when it came to court back to mission. when it came over this thought, gosh, looking forward, india has strategic dia, a g for terry. com. and when it comes to the oil market, a stronger lines that russia and do you see that,

that one is not going to get broken down. a bunch of d 7 group is also a big read. that actually is a strategic partner, you know, all the time. i don't getting peace because india is one country which is suffering the maximum because of this. well, if you look at a, b, b and they will all prices in india have those massive b. and that's not like you got that because 90 percent of that y comes from russia . if you look at prices that i don't, particularly in india, our ecosystem is often the most. so in there wants peace between russia and ukraine and debate. i missed as i get the best is playing a little. i mean, one time they're talking about peace. and the 2nd time we are sending weapons, how can you have peace negotiations? why you're sending weapons to ukraine. right. so i think indian by mr. understand that far, and it didn't by mr. is that who ensure that there be more partners in europe who

can support you? great. not to. we want to get into these negotiation with something else to tell you about today. ukraine's ambassador to germany has called the countries chancellor love shows, an offended liver burst over his refusal to pay a visit to kit the backdrop, to not being ukrainian authority. subbing a visit from german president frank walter stein mire, last month, acting like an offended liver. worse doesn't sound very statesmanlike. we're talking about the most brutal war of extermination since the nazi attack on ukraine . this is not child's play. well, though, is called man's, came shortly after chancellor shaw's told media the key as refusal to host german president don myra stood in the way of his own visit ukraine. not earlier criticised mister sine meyer for his relations with moscow. well, well, so slumming germany for providing they say insufficient military support as berlin

pledge to provide more lethal aid and late april. an open letter to chancellor shows a run then made on urgent appeal to the german leader not to supply more heavy weapons to read. the letter was published a day after the german parliament decision on april 28 to deliver a further arms to give and cause widespread debates. german or 3rd and blogger, thomas rupert said, this isn't the 1st time the ukrainian buster has criticized germany and suffered little to no consequence. i would quote scandal from this, from this ambassador. he asked, i have a work as a roster to go on strike, not to work with russia ships. he's really mixing in german policies. and i think this nothing in embers or from any country could do or should do. this is not his job. i'm imagine a chinese ambassador would do something like this in the u. s. a. or in france, or even a germany. this would be a scandal. but with mister mail,

it seems he can do whatever he wants and they seem to ignore it. and germany is always a country, and in europe it's thought which was in favor of a happy ukraine financially economic. but let's don't forget, and ukraine receive from the e you more than 15000000000 euro, which are somehow gone with the wind. and even the german government gave them money. so he is really biting dantes is feeding them, but the germans allow that no, no reaction. and that's why i say we have such quotes of this ambassador for quite for several weeks already and, and no reaction. i don't know if i can go until there will be erection by the way, the issa on change. org. people are really collecting signatures to get rid of this guy. i think there's only 550000 signatures in germany already. but the policy doesn't karen? the media also can let's talk some big figures. president biden is expected to put pressure in congress to authorize an additional $33000000000.00 in aid for it.

ukraine. that comes, i made a visit by the president to a u. s. plant which manufacturers, javelin anti tank missiles widely used and favored like president is traveling to troy, alabama to visit a lockheed martin facility that manufacturers weapon systems such as javelin anti tank missiles. we've sent over 5500 javelin anti armor systems to ukraine to support the training in people's fight for freedom. in addition to touring the facility, he will deliver remarks about the security assistance we are providing. highlighting the urgency of the request to congress to pass funding quickly to help you create, continue to succeed against russian aggression. while the promise 5000 plus javelin systems have been sent, you came by the u. s. americas ally. taiwan is being forced to look for weapon alternatives as the conflict and ukraine is delaying. washington supplies to the

island and the u. s. leaders, science arms, manufacturers for helping ukraine fights against russia. the biggest defense contractors in the u. s. have every reason to pop champagne corks to celebrate the profits. the situation in ukraine is bringing about where there is war. there's big business looking to profit from the carnage americas weapons. manufacturers know that better than anyone else. take raytheon technologies, which saw the dollar signs on the horizon even before russia's military operation and ukraine began. we are seeing, i would say, opportunities for international sales. the tension in eastern europe, the tensions in the south china sea. all of those things are putting pressure on some of the defense spending over there. so i fully expect we're going to see more benefit from it at the same time making money from people killing each other doesn't weigh on their conscience one bit. i think again recognizing we are there

to defend democracy and the fact is, eventually we will see some benefit in the business over time. everything that's being shipped into ukraine today, of course, is coming out of stockpiles either at the department of defense or from our nato allies. and that's all great news. eventually we'll have to replenish it and we will see a benefit to the business over the next coming years. not only is this endless flow of state of the art weaponry to crane, spurring the weapons industry forward. but the accompanying gap in washington supply is creating that much more of a demand spike. the united states military has probably sent about one 3rd of its javelin, anti tank missiles to ukraine, one 3rd of our supply given to them replenishing us stocks of those weapons would require 32 months. some politicians are even calling for president joe biden to invoke the defense production act that would allow washington to make companies prioritize government contracts to refill the countries javelin,

and stinger stockpiles and seeing estate deals are what the weapons industry relies on. it would mean significant profits for these merchants of death. we have a significant usage rate for the stingers that we're moving over there. javelins also, and we have to not only be able to help the ukrainians, we have to maintain our stock. the cupboard is empty or it will be very, very shortly unless the president invokes the defense production act to provide that demand signal on an expedited basis. no doubt arms corporations are thrilled about the potential for a new military spending. frenzy lobbyists are already working around the clock, pushing for more state contracts to defend the country, so called defense industrial base. after all, raytheon and lockheed martin stock prices skyrocketed the very same day that russia's operation began. on top of that, washington is looking to send ukraine, some obsolete personnel carriers from the vietnam war, which would make more room for weapons producers to fill the space left behind with

new equipment. looks like weapons manufacturers can count on a lot more profits in the near future. while we can count on a lot more casualties. we have been flooding arms into ukraine. we should be seeking peace, rather than seeking to prolong the conflict. there are few ways of becoming wealthier, faster and easier than to start a war and to bleed off profits from of, from more, from the arms industry. tremendous dr. by the, the war industrialists to produce arms and to, to create a level of war hysteria that will produce markets for their, for their arms across the atlantic. the british prime minister has announced

a further $375000000.00 worth of military support to key at during the historic address, ukraine's parliament. boris johnson encourage the country to keep on fighting, citing quote, ukraine finest hour. the remote speech was the 1st by a foreign leader to the countries robinson, the conflict. because i can announce today from the u. k. government, a new package of support totaling 300000000 pounds, including radars, to pinpoint the artillery, bombarding your cities. heavy lift drones to supply your forces and thousands of night vision devices. we will carry on supplying ukraine alongside your other friends with weapons and funding and humanitarian aid. until we have achieved our long term goal, which must be so to fortify ukraine that no one will ever dare attack you again.

while at the same time, nato has started its defender in europe, military drills on the continent, hosted by 15, nato states on the allied countries close to russia. 30 states some sent buffle vehicles warships, military aircraft, as well, along with thousands of soldiers to lift you in here, right up to russia's borders. enroll, pope frances has commented, seeing the quote, barking of nato at the door of russia may have led to the situation in ukraine. dance. he didn't know how appropriate it was for other countries to supply ukraine with deadly weapon reign. the pontiff also noted the role of quotes other states and the conflict though stopped shorts, of naming them. of speaking to r t a former new zealand deputy foreign minister much robson questioned how the western military block claims russia and china indeed are the world's main aggressors as nate. so continues to play spaces around the world. the history of

the united states. you don't have to tell people to latin america, but the brutality and the violence, the intervention of the united states for centuries, the people who've been waiting to the people to cuba, the people who make an hour. and now nato has also got a base in columbia and the dutch and the british, who still got colonies in those areas have extended night to nato's long, long ago, lit its shores. so yes, it's a terrible thing that they're trying to line up against russia. but on the other hand, the great majority of people in the world opposed to what the united states is doing . and i hope that you will, will. we're going to make sure that a movement begins in new zealand to stop us being dragged into this war chariot, which is later, we know it's reputation. we know it doesn't defend democracy. but we know also that the russian government saying that they want to be lots of occasion of the ukraine

is for all of us because the growing threat of fascist for nazis throughout the world is a real threat. and the what russia has done with the special operation, it's good, it's a good description of what russia has had to do is on behalf of all of us. it's not just for russia is to wake people up to how aggressive nature is, how distracted it is going to have to look at libya. its role in both throughout the world and dismemberment of a few slab. so potent and the russian government have done us all the favor by so saying to showing nato, we're not going to be bullied. and many people in the will and the majority of countries respect that fact that we're not going to be bullied by this aggressive,

destructive country. which leads nato. we know the game plan as obviously getting mixed up too much, or they know all the documents from cannon through to visit in sky to the rand corporation to the not the data of community unit 2021, which sets it out to dismember russia dismember. i'll do that, but also of course, an al pop of the will. we know it's aim to china as well. so yes, it's a terrible thing that they're trying to line up against russia. but on the other hand, the great majority of people in the world also opposed to what the united states is doing when they would finance. and i hope that in your limits, we are going to make sure that a movement begins in new zealand to stop us being dragged into this war chariot, which is later, we know it's reputation. we know it doesn't affect democracy. technology ah, italian president, sergio muttered, has taken

a stand against the counseling of russian culture. he's faced, hardly the countries is artistic. legacy could harm european heritage as a whole other off in the us, you on it like on the indignation and condemnation, of course, cannot touch upon culture upon the great minds of the past and their masterpieces which have given so much to the entire civilization. this would be contract productive for our italy and for our euro. i will say dalia also robot. well, the italian president's statement comes as much of the world has turned its back not only politically, but culturally on russia. a new documentary by artie examines how the country's rich heritage has faced the acts worldwide. ah, the 1st time in history, an entire country's culture has been cancelled the very modern weapon cancel culture. nearly desert lucille mala so little in william trunk. it just

me sitting there, i know you put the glue. the phrase now particularly refers to canceling russian culture. what rushes created over the past 1500 years is now question partially condemned, reviled, and rejected. his line, you said it's funny. at the mill of brown. there's a lot closer on a whole bone she anytime thank you said a little small the list. joining total condemnation grows daily and now enclosed da staff skate to kosky and chelsea coverage long enough. would that be occluded with dante sole documentary will in fact be shown in an hour's time here on our tea on air. it's also available if you like at r t dot com. i'm time in moments for another visit to the world's apart. studio

sucks on his back on your screen after the shortest breaks. sticklers ah, ah, ah, [000:00:00;00] a

mm hm. mm. mm. welcome to the part 20 years ago press briefing about the absence of weapons of mass destruction in iraq. you secretary of defense, donald rumsfeld famously honored he's close about no one knows an unknown unknowns, and he's point was essentially that we do craddick countries were morally justified about assuming the worst about their adversaries acting accordingly. is this logic still at play in need of confrontation with russia over ukraine? will discuss that. i'm now joined by math, have nella director of the department of geopolitics and international relations at medical university in india. professor,

it's good to see you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. not. you know, i'm a big fan of both laura and me. so again, i really get a chance to we with into the conversation. even though i think you would agree with me that more than day and your politics is all about me making, but with one of your recent articles, you gave me a wonderful opportunity of doing that because you compare this whole crisis in ukraine to their tail, replied hyper, can you elaborate on that? the look, you know, i'd like to point out that a lot of the policy towards a president wooten and russia seems to be driven by emotion. now, i've been here before in libya, for example. there was a complete demonization of work. there was a demo vision of savannah saying, and there, there is now a demonstration of russia as of people and
