we choose to look for common ground in the local authorities report, most about casualties. ukrainian forces continue to shell several cities in the town yet republic including marquis a gas for an oil, demco caught fire following a morning's murder. you false. nationalists forces encircled in a steel plant or ignoring them up to release the remaining civilians. there lay down their arms according to the russian defense of the situation in the city. now under the b u commission reportedly fails to reach consensus on a total bond on russian oil by the end of this year. as part of a new rod functions. some block members express grave concerns for the new citing

dependence on energy libyan prime minister and our end remoted is in france for talks with counterparts and money will much from parts of european diplomatic tour. the trips happening despite ongoing western pressure and new delhi to change its neutral stance on the ukraine conflict. the news from oscar to the world. this is our t pleasure to have your company today. my name's unit one person has been killed and 10 more injured after an oil dep beau in the next republic. city of my kids was in golf by fire on wednesday morning. local authorities say this side was shell by you pretty enforced for oil types. court fire as a result of the strike staying in the den. yes. republic where yes. you know,

i also saw shelly leaving one person's day, the 500 local officials, claiming cleaning forces, most 15 missiles against custody, and in the capital done. yet 7 people were injured after ukrainian artillery showing according to local authorities. meanwhile, the united nations, how stated on the evacuation of civilians from the resort style steel plant in mar . yeah, which really has been at the epicenter of fighting in this city has been successful . you can see people here at being evacuated from mario paul, to nearby villages. the un said over a 100 civilians have left the factory. additionally, moscow claims militants in the plant had attempted to use a recent cease fire to recruit, but were prevented from doing so. by russian forces, while the russian defense minister has confirmed that the situation in the city he

claims is now under control. so this is for regina in accordance to the order of the commander in chief, the remaining militants and the eyes of stole. industrial platt are firmly blocked in get along the entire perimeter of the territory. several offers made to the nationalists to release civilians and lay down their weapons along with guarantees of safety and dignify treatment in accordance with international law. whereas nor to assist, we continue our attempts to persuade w. a peaceful life is being restored in the territories of the denounced can logan's republics and ukraine freed from the nationalists. this includes more, you put your money, the largest industrial and transport center and the as of c, which is now under control of the russian army. when the court, the united states and their nato allies continue to poor weapons into ukraine for what we know that any ne, to transport arriving in the country, carrying arms or supplies for the craning armed forces will be considered a legitimate target from your shoe,

or whether it's on the kremlin has said there's been little progress and peace talks with ukraine, g to kias, inconsistent position on the negotiation process with more than tears ortiz maria phenomena. april 15th hays when moscow sent its proposals for a peace agreement to kiev 3 weeks on no answer has yet been received. russia's foreign ministry says kremlin is war in a lot about the progress of peace talks between the 2 countries or rather, the lack of any dynamic. this is how the president's spokes person to me through preschool describes the process. he doubts that could be productive outcome if things stay the way they are right now. moscow has never refused negotiations with key of on the opposite has always been pushing for talks. he of has formerly agreed bed. the statements harsh and controversial that we hear from the ukrainian capital did not help and actually show a little bit different approach. secretary of ukraine's national security and

defense council called on russia to surrender as soon as possible to minimize losses. and in know, these talks are possible at this point, as with the west help ukraine will when he regimes chief military speaker has also made it clear only because we to lation that's talking about threshold course. he has intelligence officials went even further saying russia would have to give part of its territories to ukraine and other countries. so it seems peace talks is something that they suffer in region needs urgently. but not everybody agrees and not everybody is interested in that reef notion a hottie from le ganske the you has reportedly failed to reach consensus on an oil embargo on russia as part of a 6th run to sanctions over the conflict and ukraine. and so some member states have been voicing their deep concerns about the proposal, which includes

a total ball on russian oil imports. by the end of this year, remind cost rip has more on that division on what it could mean for some european countries. and the moment, so we do know that several report eliza will continue meeting on the 5th of may as well. they may be able to reach some kind of a decision on thursday earlier, what we saw, they were trying to present a united front, if you will. but the way it looks right now it's far from unity in the europe or at the moment. and this case, so we're talking particularly about so countries like a hungry us lavaca perhaps said check republicans of bulgaria, who would be thrown well under the bus by other european giants. let's take listen . hungary is energy supply cannot be endangered because no one can expect us to allow the price of the war and ukraine to be paid by hungarians. it is currently physically impossible for hungry and its economy to function without russian oil.

if it comes to in a prison burger, as russian all, as part of a says, a package of sanctions against russia, that's laval. k will request an exemption, budapest, so they depend on russian oil for at least 58 percent in their economy. if you take a look at breakfast lava in slovakia, well, they depend for a warping and 96 percent of russian oil in their economy. ok. now for them from what we know, the european union is proposing a longer transition period for up to 20 months, according to some resources before they can stop issued their need for a russian that national resources. however, the proposal reportedly doesn't take into consideration the fact that it might actually take these countries several years, much more than the 20 months to adapt their infrastructure to well,

some sort of alternative source of energy. and naturally they would need some sort of guarantee from the big family of the european union, which is apparently the moment yet not on the cards. now, another potential problem that says some e u members as a see with the potential embargo of us on the russian oil to use that there is really no clear plan of support for those nations that will be primarily affected by this band by this embargo and this is of course, regardless of their relationship with russia or how they see the current situation with ukraine. for example, check republic, now they've continuously voice support for their opposition of the russian special military operation in ukraine. well, they have been slamming the proposals for from the you,

for the ban of rush in. well, for not having any well clear burden sharing plans now. so that's the european commission presidents. ursula of underlying insisted that the blocks members simply have to dirt ants in a speech reportedly seen by the reuters news agency, the secretary general of opec se se, there's no spare capacity to replace rushes on. the supply. dashing brussels hopes of a fast transition, russian oil and other liquid exports account for more than $7000000.00 barrels per day. in another update, the russian president has signed it like we free introducing retaliatory economic measures. as a response to western sanctions, the new documented bonds trading with individuals and entities from so called on friendly countries. it also forbid certain role materials to be exported to those states. the entire list of actions is said to be published. one issue of not

getting him of measuring all fuel prices in the u. s. continued to skyrocket. thus, despite efforts from the biden administration to tackle the crisis, the u. s. president blames the ukraine conflict for washington's economic woes. though it's empty russian sanctions, which are seemingly having a significant impact. and you can watch how they are affecting the cost of living and more in or short documentary sanctions boomerang effect throughout the day. here in our tea, it's also available to view on our website. who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing additional strong sanctions. today russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. i think you chose when was the course renewed as you speak on the bill in your senior, mostly mine the will ship were banding all imports of russian oil and gas, new g. i. g

with joe biden and imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang. ah, well, sanctions targeting russia isn't the only topic causing divided opinion across western countries. german intellectuals and artists have written an open letter to love shoals, urging the chancellor not to risk a 3rd world war by supplying more heavy weapons to grant. we are convinced that 2 such divided lives have now been reached. first, the categorical prohibition known, accepted and manifest risk of this war, escalades and into a nuclear conflict. the delivery of large quantities of heavy weapons however, could make germany itself reported to the war. the letter also urges olaf sholtes to do all he can to ensure that a sci fi is reached with germany making

a decisive contribution to a solution that they say will stand up to the judgment of history. yet this stone seems to have landed the magazine in hot water. hi, alice schwartz are your call for ukraine. surrender means that your celebrated feminism is just a front, a fake to accept the mass, rape of ukrainian women by russian soldiers as pure cynicism. i don't want any one in the right mind buying your shoddy emma, the letter states. we hope that a compromise can be reached as soon as possible that both sides can accept. if that were the german attitude, then violent border shifts in war crimes would be the new european normality. this position is insane. however, not all or against this call for a pacifist line from germany, important called for artists and intellectuals. the praise for shoals is unfortunately outdated due to his buckling under pressure from union free

democratic party and grin, and to deliver tanks to ukraine. but the demands to prevent world war 3 are all the more urgent voices against the move to supply. heavy weapons to ukraine are getting louder. already on the petition side, change total. hundreds of thousands have signed to signal that they are against such deliveries. while public sentiment in germany is slaves poll, showing that an equal number awful, and against that decision by berlin, their support for sending such weapons is said to be on the decline, the magazine emma, where this letter was published, also hates out of the media coverage of the war some have argued germany was bullied into the decision to vote, to send heavy weaponry to ukraine. no, it's clear. there are many in the country who still don't support that decision.

any dissenting voice does seem to be now the target of the campaign of bry waiting geology when ski ot see paris. and it's not just germany where opposition is growing, overly filleted, being sent to key of hundreds of protesters took to the streets and bulgaria on choose. they angered out the government's plans to supply kiev with arms. they were demanding that the country states neutral in the conflict chanting we want peace and neutrality. people gathered in front of the parliament building. in sophia, the demonstrations began to the government demands. it would be holding their boats whether to send weaponry to bring those against the move or calling for a moratorium on his punching either trips or arms out on setting up military bases in the country. no one moment. one of the governments favorite phrases as they cannot stay inactive against the injustice. but nowadays they are ready to introduce the bulgarian people to a war bog idea this in the off season. but we want to ban approved

a bulgarian territory be used for hitting either of both countries of the war. the neutrality in this madness is the most important thing. indian prime minister and a rend remedy is in france for talks with presidents, a manual micron. as part of his diplomatic tour, the indian leader has already visited germany and denmark, and it is his 1st trip to the west. since the start of the conflict in ukraine, coming against the backdrop of diplomat. again, fighting on pressure on you delhi to join the sanctions regime against russia. our correspondence, our t tick, who's saying has to low down on moody's meetings with his european counterpart, grab minister, not enter more be during his tour in europe. in his meeting with his danish counterpart, met frederickson, discussed the relationship with european union and also discussed in due

specific dyes as well as situation in ukraine. even as we discussions revolt around economic agenda, particularly india and use free trade agreement which is expected to be finalized, i'd be earliest, but at the same time, is danish gone to pot, attempted to grab mr. moody to take us on russia, denmark and the entire european union, strongly condemned russia's unlawful and unprovoked invasion of ukraine. my message is very clear, poochie has got to stop this bull and to end the killings. i of course, hope you had india will influence russia also in this, in this discussion and his response, prime minister, not in the movie. why did any mention all russia, he did not express any,

couldn't nation against moscow. and in fact, called for these in ukraine. we appeal for an immediate cease fire and ukraine and for the adoption of dialogue and diplomacy to resolve the problem. so thought india has been consistent on its approach towards ma school. it has a good. it's a started good traditional don rich's chatting on time check digit partnerships with more school. it has a way did. in fact, all the wards in the united nations security council. it abstained from working against russia on his last spot on his last trip. in b, europe, each robin still more be really be visiting france and meeting president emmanuel marker. he's been recently re elected. geopolitical analyst will raise shake, believes that india will not bow to western pressure to change its thumbs on the ukraine conflicts,

or indeed anything else. mister macaroni knows muddy. very well. what linda, what did you bring? what is his foreign policy? so nobody can, should raise a premise, stuff like that in that it will be who has a lot of support in india new believe the way to bank in front of the shows. because i believe the freedom of foreign policy as well as the read them also policy. and what will these blink india will do. what it is right in be i will go what it came to right. was to blish priest in the world. ah, to something seemingly lost in the midst of time, but holding deep resonance today, weeks before the ukrainian parliament declared its independence and august 1991. then us president george bush, senior, visited and spoke of extreme nationalism in the country spark by ethnic hatred.

americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far off tyranny with a local despotism. they will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred. labor and human rights. laura dunn culver, police washington doesn't views supplying extremist groups within the ukranian army with weapons as problematic. they know that the neo nazis or they are in fact a c. i is been working with them, training them to kill russian. they see these neo nazis is their allies just as they have seen the radical jihadists in syria as their allies. they wanted to stabilize the world. they wanted to stabilize countries, they see as rivals, so that the u. s. can maintain her germany in the world. and they see these nazi

groups as an instrument that they wanted to week in russia. and they thought that working with these groups in ukraine, her would do just that. no, since the start of rushes offensive multiple stories of made headlines in ukrainian media and then been repulsed at globally. some of them were later this proved they including by the same ukrainian media artists themselves. thus, as the russian representative to the u. n. c's, evidence of misinformation in the conflict is being collated. r t secret shadonna has been taking a closer look to the calamitous situation and mario, both the 4th wave of mobilization, local militia, previously confined to their home turf can now be sent straight into the slaughter with little to nothing to show for it. ukrainian major has been again resorted to a tactic they've excelled in fakes. the butcher

killings have been supplanted from the headlines by other stories in bid to keep it in vogue, ukraine's prosecutor general docs a belin russian national, claiming he was one of the culprits. the proof cctv footage of the man from a local shipping company that was allegedly used by russian soldiers the docking, came to a very unpleasant surprise for the man himself, who apparently never even served in the bill of russian army, let alone the russian one. i have not left the republic of belarus for more than 2 years. they made a war criminal out of me, although i have nothing to do with the armed forces. as for the trunk lid, i sent yes indeed. i sent it via the bell russian post to russia. the announcement of the sale was published even before the verse of butcher threats to come to me and my loved ones. please stop on and spoke to his relatives and colleagues who confirmed sir gay's alibi. it's not the 1st time ukraine's prosecution has misfired

and pushed random civilians under the bus of hatred and mass threats. a wedding photographer woke up one day to find out his a butcher and saddest, and wields a very different barrel for a living. at least according to ukraine law, glen ukrainian news channel posted information that i allegedly participated in atrocities in the city of butcher in ukraine. but in fact, i have not let the territory of the city of your coots go for more than a year. at 1st i was shocked, and then i decided not to attach any important standing, but then the threats against me and my family began. they wrote to me, my wife and my sister. i am a victim of an information war. it is a legal and dishonest to do so to the civilian population, which is not to blame for anything. the butcher narrative was far from the only one ukrainian talking heads are trying to wipe the dust off and returned to the headlines. at the very outset of the war,

ukrainian sources propagated the legend of a ukrainian military pilot, whose deadliness was matched only by his elusiveness, this anonymous phantom ace, even got his own nickname, the ghost of tea of ah ah ah, it soon became obvious for every rational human being, this was nothing but a fable tailored to keep up the morale of ukrainian forces and citizens alike. it took months for cave officially to finally admit to that old bid. they did try to save face hero of ukraine. stephanie, terrible could not ghost of keir and he did not hit 40 planes, ghost of kia as

a super hero legend, whose character was created by ukrainians. another ukrainian faith goes down. ah, the top brass of the russian army has seen some casualties and the conflict, but ukraine's the lustful sensation can never be satisfied with provable facts. apparently, as they claimed moscow's top general was recently wounded on the front lines. our insider says, chief of the general staff of the russian armed forces. valerie deer, asimov was wounded on the territory of ukraine. he received a shrapnel wound to the right lower leg without a bone fracture, but unlike previous fakes, this one's lifespan turned out to be very short with cave officials, again refuting their own story. we already have certain confirmations that he was not injured as russia slowly, but surely makes gains in the east of the country. cave is desperate for 2 things.

more weapons from the west and diverting the eyes of the public from the big picture. and in both cases, anything goes ah, unrest is continuing in the armenian capital with thousands, making their voices heard on a 3rd day of anti government protests. the protesters are angry by concessions they believe, are planned by the prime minister to me bring us or by gel over ownership of the long disputed region of the corner. come back in the side caucuses. activists blocked streets in the center of europe. vaughn, with police intervening to move, the more people also attempted to enter the grounds of the foreign ministry building. a local journalist file this the many streets have been blocked since may 1st and it's still happening every day. police use force and detain hundreds of protests after a week of demonstrations, the opposition demanding the government resign gathered in the city square on may

1st. the vice president of the national assembly claimed he would spend the night after which tents were set up in the square. the opposition believes that the government will give ox at region 2 as a by john. they claim it is possible to avoid by removing the prime minister from power with public pressure. the 2nd and 3rd armenian presidents joined the protest spending the night intense in the square. yeah. will be closely following developments there, but the south is where we sign off for now. stay close. as more programs get going right ahead from moscow. this is our to international oh, the news . the news

ah, with with a

to see out because the advocate an engagement, it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah ah. hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle, western media and politicians are obsessed with the idea of ukraine winning say otherwise than you are maligned, accused of treason, and even cancelled. the ukraine must wind trove is actually about something

completely different. that has everything to do with weakening russia. ah, cross sucking who's winning? i'm joined by my guess, martin j america. he is an award winning journalist and commentator. and in sydney we cross into loria. he's the editor in chief of consortium news dot com. hi, tony, cross elk grove. in fact, that means you can jump anytime you want. i always appreciate a job. let me go to you 1st and sidney here. why is a western medium politicians obsessed with this job? ukraine is winning ukraine will when i'm without any kind of serious analysis of the battlefield. now, we could, we could relegate that to experts on the military, but for the last 30 years, western military experts have gotten everything wrong. so i think we're losing on all county or go ahead. joe lubbock, a c corporate media in the west has joined the campaign. the government's campaign,

which is bertram, clearly an american proxy war against russia. this is evident from the very start on february 24th. the day russia entered ukraine, joe biden gave a press conference and he was asked, what do you think? why do you think the sanctions are going to work now when they didn't prevent the invasion? he said the sections were never meant to print, prevent the invasion. they were meant to tell the russian people what he's done and, and to make them feel the pain. that's what this is all about. and then of course, in poland, he came out right out and said it, it's about regime change in russia. this goes way back to 1949 when the c i a took nicole 111 of the leaders of vendors fascist, grew back to new york and used him for sabotage against the soviet union, ukraine, right for the ar and revolution. and certainly the 2014 qu, so the media is only given the ukrainian side of the story. ukrainian source is a washington a leaving out huge.
