[000:00:00;00] a year with russia reportedly resumes it so offensive on murder. you pulls out self style. steel plot as ukrainian forces are accused of breaking the fees fire earlier putting in place to evacuate civilians with vladimir putin. lines new tit for a tech and all make measures in response to western sanctions against russia. the list cutting, clued up on raw materials export and in the program, the hungarian foreign minister slums. what he describes us on, justified attacks by the west burg budapest position on russian entities

with indian prime minister and their rendered the visits denmark on date to all of his working trip to europe. it comes against the backdrop of western pressure on new delhi to join sanctions against russia. a you're very welcome to our, to international. my name's you know, meal and 30 minutes of news and views start ukrainian forces have reported lead you just this cease fire at marty. you pull zones off style plant to move into new bottle positions. the russian military attacks on military fortifications have not reportedly resumed with our strike sand artillery used in the offensive. it comes off as cease fire was not in the area for several days with more than a 100 civilians have thank you. weights to safety during that time. this is how one

russian soldier describe the finders left in the model. you both plant finance dealers and they are fanatics, so they are waiting for something maybe negotiations. okay. waiting for them to be taken out of there somehow they've waste hogansville and schemes about although they did say that they have been abandoned down there because keith doesn't answer their calls. like they're just fanatics. regular ukrainian forces would have already laid down their weapon. it's sort of served their time in captivity and returned home. there are also a lot of criminals. there is a bumps and they have nowhere to rendezvous. 870 kilometers to the nearest positions of the granting forces. they even want to have enough time to get there, even if they really wanted to. he just makes no sense for them to go out. it's only to wait for something serious negotiations. while the russian brokerage, if i could ation of civilians from the a self style factory also involved the u. n. on the red cross during his online pressure, red cross representative to ukraine. pascal hunt confirmed to

r t not the organization was aware of russia's previous, numerous attempts to open. she military and corridors on the obstacles faced in completing evacuations. i know that there were many attempts on both sides to open corridors and we were always ready to, to facilitate that and to do in those corridors, we managed to go one, almost somebody, but i think it was a month ago. we need constant day to ensure that everybody on the ground was aware of that agreement, that the, that was, that was taken at the capital level. in other words, it's transforming it, secrete guarantees for us, for the civilians into practical working modalities. they cannot be an agreement middle of the night for an operation that is taking place next day in the

morning and then the situation. i don't know whether the that there is. but after several days, you can imagine with a fire fire, the security conditions or the, the government for the secrecy conditions were not met anymore. and that's why we were told that the operation was to, you know, to, to be put to an end. and that's why we came back and again, if tomorrow such conditions are met, we are ready to go. russian president vladimir person has a nice the new set of economic measures in response to western sanctions. the decree prohibits among other things about on some exports of raw materials to western companies, ortiz acreage, you can tell us more. 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 decrease 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 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 are coming from 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. in the u. this list, it 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 resign 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 hungry is foreign minister, has claimed his country as being unfairly attacked over at stumps 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 point tonight, that hungry against iran, 65 percent of its oil from budapest confirmed earlier. it won't gun embargo on russia and g and veto you sanctions on the countries. oil industry hungry was also

among the 1st european countries to agree to allow the conversion of their gas payments to roubles. what i've comes of a rounding call ukrainian website, known for naming and shaming those at teams enemies of the state. it's hungary and prime minister of victoria bon to its list. the outlets accused him of being the only you leader to refuse to allow the passage of lethal aid for ukraine through the country's territory. the site's branded hungry leader and anthony ukrainian propaganda sound accomplice of quote, russian crimes. the secretary of ukraine's national security and defense council, as also accused hungry of wanting to seize ukrainian territory, 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 dmitri med, vienna's. but this rate soon enough writing 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 tomorrow. so the presidents and prime ministers of france, germany, italy, and others beware you. and now, under their suspicion or political commentator, george them only believes the us thinking ways to punish hungry for victor or bonds . aim of maintaining good relations with moscow owner is victor. or as distinguished from europeans and from many countries and live with them. well, in declaring that this fight between your brain on russia, hunger is fine. 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 fuse of any funding. he has been trying, seeking more ways to punish it's very important. hunger is nationalist

interest that it may say relation, russia, but obviously for security reasons, but not bubble energy and it is well hungry getting all the energy from it. pretty much 100 percent of its energy comes from russia. so, or by saying good relation, right? indian prime minister and render moody is on a diplomatic to her of europe. it's a 1st visit to the west since the start of the conflict in ukraine coming against the backdrop of diplomat. again, fighting and pressure on new delhi to join the sanctions regime against russian correspondence ready to sing. expound a man. 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 sure, later trade on technology innovation in r g especially, you know,

i believe they're g as well as ukraine. in fact, prime minister, not in the movie called for peace in ukraine and an end to war. you couldn't hear some good at the start of the wall. we immediately called for a cease fire and reiterated that dialogue is the only way to find a solution that we know when is at the end of this wall. everyone will suffer losses. that's why we want peace energy prices skyrocketing food shortages, the spreading is affecting every family in the world from yesterday. braden's turn it into more be met german chancellor or lock shows. and in there by electric agreement, they, in fact agreed to set up a green hydrogen dos force. apart from that, germany yesterday had demonstrations for and against india in the context of ukraine. however, i missed

a movie to these tours 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 movie in this visit. we'll be in fattest, where he will meet present emanuel macro on after his recent re election. in fact, to the store that has been, have been attempts by the european lead us to pressure dies ramen's to moby, to condemn russia. but that ramps are more b has so far, not, not only not mentioned russia, buddy has continual josh to bite the russian crude oil discount prices at all. now and i spoke with kanisha gower policy expert on indian refers.

he believes russia has always been an important strategic partner for deli and western politicians. won't change about i don't think so in didn't. i mean it's still relating to condemning. but if you go back to that, sure has been in the strong ally that india or not in the past. maybe it has 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 are ready to go back to mission. but if you look over the spot, gosh, looking forward. yeah. strategic dia on a no g for terry. com. and when it comes to the oil market, a stronger lines, good russia, nbc, that one is not going to get broken down. a bunch of that d 7 group is also member bricks. read actually is a strategic partner. you know, all the time. i don't get in peace because india is one country which is suffering

the maximum because of this war. if you go to b, b and they will, all price is going to be, i have those massive b and that's like, you know, that's not good because 90 percent of that light comes from russia. if you can point, i don't think it would be in india. our ecosystem is stuff in the most. so in there wants peace between russia and ukraine. and then i'm just as i get the best to sling, you know, i mean one time they're talking about peace. and the 2nd time we are sending weapons and you have peace negotiations while you're sending weapons to ukraine. right. so i think indian by mr. understand that far, and it didn't, prime minister is that who ensure that there be more partners in europe who can support you, need not to wage war, but get into the negotiation with something else to bring you

today. ukraine's ambassador to germany has called the country chancellor luft shoals, offended liver, versed that were his refusal to pay a visit, to give the backdrop to not being ukrainian authority. subbing a visit from german president frank walter stein, mar, last month. acting like an offended liver, worst doesn't sound very statesmanlike. were talking about the most brutal war of extermination since the nazi attack on ukraine. this is not child's play. those comments came shortly after champs. their short told media bounce key of refusal to host the german president stood in the way over his own visit. ukraine had earlier criticized president stein meyer for his relations with moscow, while also slumming germany for providing they say insufficient military support. as berlin pledge to provide more lethal aid in late april, an open letter to chancellor show then written by leading social figures in the country made an urgent appeal to the german leader not to supply more heavy weapons

to ukraine. the letter was published a day after the german parliament decision on april 28 to deliver a further arms to kiev and cause widespread debate terminal with her blogger, thomas rupert, said, the ukrainian ambassador believes he can say whatever he wants right now and get away with i would quote scandal from this, from this ambassador. he asked about work as a roster to go on strike, not to work with russia ships. and he's really mixing in german policies. and i think this nothing in embers or from any country could do or should do it. this is not his job. 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 in europe with which was in favor of

a happy ukraine financially economic. but let's don't forget the ukraine receive from the e. u more than 15000000000 euro, which are somehow gone with the wind and even the german government gave them money . so he is really biting that 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 no reaction. i don't know if i can go until there will be a reaction. by the way, there is a on change. org. people are really collecting signatures to get rid of this guy at the i think there are only 550000 signatures in germany already. but the policy doesn't care. and the media also, us secretary of state anthony blinking has hailed america as a haven for freedom of speech. the spied much criticism states, side of the pressure applied in the media over views, opposing official,

and mainstream narratives. united states has the vital state moving the right to freedom of expression who the free press on. and also while the world ideas opinions, including social clues of our society. vibrant independent press is of course on for any healthy democracy. sure. those words you just heard from us, secretary of state antony blank and are simply met with laughter by anyone who's observed the policies of the united states. over the past few months. they've been doing everything they can to shut down and silence media that puts forward any perspective critical of the nato perspective, when it comes to the situation in ukraine. well, united states wouldn't be itself without bashing russia and accusing russia being a pure dictatorship where all freedom of speech is killed. however,

as anthony blanc um spoke, he went on to essentially argue it's a very significant challenge when it comes to dealing with the information environment in russia that has been created and bolstered over many, many years and a space that was already incredibly restricted as being shut down to virtually nothing just in the last 6 months. now it's also important to note that an opposition network, an outlet that's critical of the russian government was invited to that press conference. however, archie and other networks that are more sympathetic and they were not allowed to participate yet anthony blank and continues to maintain that it's the united states, that is the champion of freedom of the press. now he also turned on beijing and started accusing china of being totalitarian, threatening taiwan,

et cetera. this is anthony blank and attacking china, in addition to his hostility to russia. taiwan is quite literally on the front lines of these hybrid warfare, including this information including cyber attacks. and these are designed to basically distort information environment, democratic processes. ok, so we partner with stories on this civil side to support independent type. a journalism us officials rely heavily on the documents published by report that borders, but reports without borders is pretty well known to be a u. s. back n g l promoting u. s. foreign policy interests. promoting and reporting on things from one perspective. demonizing countries that united states is also critical out and kind of glossing over the problems and countries that are more aligned with the united states. so that's what anthony lincoln was relying on in order to make his remarks

. just on this story, we spoke exclusively to the bell, russian foreign minister about freedom of speech as demonstrated in the west. he said, long years of sanctions policy against this country are convinced him that freedom of choice is just a shell when it comes to the normative of some country. god's militia, how could we expect the stronghold of democracy, the bastion of human rights and the preachers of but she will do this many, including us thought the west. it has to such titles. we believe that everyone should look towards the west. the recent events in battery some what happened to russia clearly show to me that all this was a false shell behind which the west had its true face. the purpose of the shell is to ensure its dominance up. it's not the right time to talk about freedom of speech or rule of law today, when all laws have been violated when we're trying to challenge sanction laws in european court. decisions are made instantly to change the rules. and all this does not leave us any chance for

a positive outcome that we see the tenant attempt to strangle our countries, the west, and the european union take that most radical measures violating all the europe and values violating all laws and moral principles. of course, this is a bitter experience for us, but we must take this into account in the future. some big figures to tell you about now, the president biden is gearing up to pressure congress to authorize an additional $33000000000.00 in a to for ukraine. that comes in at a visit by the president to a u. s. plump manufacturing junglin. anti tank missiles widely used by keith 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 and peoples 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 can continue to succeed against russian aggression. while the promised 5000 plus junglin systems have been sent to ukraine by the u. s. americas ally, taiwan is being forced to look for weapon alternatives of the conflict in ukraine is delaine washington supplies to the island. the u. s. leader assigned to arms manufacturers for helping ukraine fight against russia. the biggest defense contractors in the us have every reason to pop champagne corks to celebrate the profits flowing in where there's war, there's big business looking to profit from the carnage. america's weapons, manufacturers know that better than any one else. take raytheon technologies, which saw dollar signs on the horizon even before russia's military operation and ukraine began. we're 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 were moving over their 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 countries 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 or deeper dive into any of those stories can be found. just a click away and r t dot com, those plenty of content to get sunk into their i'm, you know, real good bye for night. i ah, ah

ah, mm. 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 ordered his clothes about no nose and unknown unknowns. and he's point was essentially that we, democrats, countries were morally justified about assuming the worst about that adversaries acting accordingly. is this logic still play in need of confrontation with russia over ukraine? we'll discuss that. i'm now joined by that have nella director of the department of

geopolitics and international relations at medical university in indian professors . good to see you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. now, you know, i'm a big fan of folklore and me. so agend, i rarely get a chance to with, into the conversation, even though i think with modern day job 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. you, they are 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 present, wootton 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 brand brand, the brand, the president of russia. now, i've studied president, we're going to some time study. this is moves. i've also studied the fact that he became more and more disillusion with the west. and it was no surprise to me because we're tracked by my writing your window. but i was very clear that germany, the franco german alliance, will never allow russia to be a part of europe. never. because what happens when you have russia, these 2 argue so their, their position. so that's never going to happen. so now we find the same play of emotion and what i'm seeing is present zone ski wants this. he wants that he wants this. basically, he wants to punish russia. i've seen not be blue rats. i've seen other supper. so
