region. $35.00 times and one day leading to 4 civilian debts. our correspondent visited on area used as a firing position location by ukrainian. sold. gotta still buy a water crazy, but this is how ukranian militants turn any cool charts, any residential building into 45 firing positions when they retreated right behind me, you can see gap and the fats has been created for easy, quick movement between positions is yours. the snipers position with a good view. these comfortable coverings are made from furniture by multiple holes for firing, have been made in the walls. the whole area is covered with such positions. zachary bush, you got that. are you? great, get by. you get in. yes, i'm cranium fighters, didn't try to stop the advancing rush and clears the hidden house and residential buildings. they hid behind civilian, yet trying to inflict casualties and retreat. hope, russel, these are the tactic. they used a bunker,

the technicians get both jolla. another area which are seeing fierce fighting as the sprawling zaria chemical factory earlier, the russian military said the ton of repairs. noah, located close to the plant, had been taken under control. locals are now trying to return some semblance of normality to the devastated region, which still has no water or electricity ortiz. maria phenomena is their force. frontline now moved from 5 to 7 kilometers. that way hand life and people how slowly. but coming back here, it's possible to leave here, but there is now communication in the city, but at the moment it's safe here. my rental, do you have on water, electricity? there is no water, no lights, no gas in the yard. we all cooked together. it's good that it's summer now, but if it was winter and most people could freeze. my baby sleeps under 3 blanket was and she says, mom, i'm called after shelley, he doesn't talk lou bomb. keith closed in on himself just as i'm out of this cars

of recent battles are everywhere. graves, hain, the backyard had and play ground inside residential area is horrible. but suddenly, rather common seen here all across don, boss and hain, the town of rebellion had to once piece his back here, they will be re buried properly at the cities cemetery. but until then, this is where they are going to rest in peace. that may happen soon, the military se, there's at 8 o'clock on the city's outskirts is the ukrainian forces, last position, and the joint rush, elegance, republic, army. he's moving steadily forward. i see the ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, thank you for the help for the humanitarian aid you. we are grateful that you have brought us a glimmer of light and we will soon get out of this. hell, we are like beatles buried in the ground, but still living. i knew we will live with russia. i mean, the town school number 2 has long been turned into control and command center. you

see it's also been targeted, but after the frontline moved further away from here, the military left is building and it's baseman three's a civilian shelter for local residence. this is where they've been hiding during heavy shelling, we go to check whether there is life on the ground. we are told not everybody's ready to leave their shelter just yet. there is no fighting right now in the town, but there are still some people hiding in shoulder because their houses have been destroyed. it's dark here, there is no light. so we turn the camera haine to infrared regime thursday night isn't for the day miss harvey to this woman, you mustn't kirsten fortune. what did recorded said the truth and literally suffocating here. there is no oxygen here at all. terrible conditions. one floor up

local volunteers have organized and make shift clinic and pharmacy. melissa, monitoring them up in the run. no hospitals, we have nothing. we help all citizens are. all pharmacies have been looted. there is no medical help. so we received $63.00, a wounded in a month and a half, not one died. we treated everyone, even those whom we thought we would need to take to the hospital. these are packages sent that people in russia packed for those suffering. the conflict in the danbury, which they asked us to deliver as aide in this conflict, journalists often connect those in need that we days, willing to help. there is hope that some normality will return to the town in future, but it's cleary, they'll need a lot of outside help of white, some time reef nationality, vietnam, and us fighting continues in the front lines. ukrainian prisoners of war has been talking about the conditions they face. as always, we should note such comments may have been given under it,

hosted its little m wilkinson. of course, i was afraid before being captured, so they told us the russians would torture and abuse us. but i didn't see any of that in the prisoner's camp with quite the opposite. i was surprised. we hadn't drunk water for 3 days before being captured and those who captured us gave us water. when we got here, we saw clean and comfortable beds, 3 daily meals, they gave us cigarettes. so of course you can't just run along the camp, but the treatment is normally. i'm rushing you. yeah, years ago i didn't expect such treatment. i thought i would be killed almost, but the russians treated me humanely. ukraine didn't treat as well. so they brought us in through us in trenches like cannon fodder, and it feels like we have no value for the ukrainian armed forces. we're like human shields for them. i'm very unhappy about the strange strategy of our army. and every one else is unhappy with on tv. they said soldiers will receive a salary of a $100000.00 grievances. i've been serving for more than month and a half and nobody received this money. i don't think any one will receive it.

meanwhile, ukrainian soldiers have posted chilling video messages, saying they won't be taking prisoners. the footage has spread on social media of i . this is a war and extermination, and our soldiers, all our people know that there shouldn't be any prisoners in one prison as a moral and graveyards are there to make profit. so we will give you graveyards, not prisons, whom of those clubs. the russian investigative committee has said it will prob they public coles to kill russians and said those threatening to commit the crimes as well as though supporting them will be identified for prosecution. now there is continuing division in the you concerning the blocks proposed new round of sanctions talking russian energy. the hungarian prime minister has compared brussels planned embargo on russian oil to a neutral or bomb for the country's economy. as a doctoral brussels oil embargo proposal is equivalent to a nuclear bomb being dropped on the hungarian economy. so it is unacceptable.

victor albany, making that really strong statement that that would be tantamount to a nuclear bomb. going off on his country's economy. he says hungry is willing to be flexible, but the proposals of an extension by one or one and a half years by the commission just fall short of that. he has questioned, also with the feasibility of spending so much money on getting this infrastructure in place for these new resources of energy when the results will be seen for at least 4 to 5 years. there is this boundless confidence from ursula vall delay now. she outlined the package on wednesday in front of the european parliament saying that it would include a complete embargo on importing russian oil by the end of this year. it would be swift, 3 more russian banks. it would also add, disallow accountancy firms and p, all firms here in the european union, from doing business with any russian firms in the future. and it lists

a number of new personalities to be put on the sanctions list. she says that this will be approved by the weekend. i am confident that we will get this package on track. if it takes a day longer, it takes a day longer, but we are moving in the right direction. so the commission seems to be very confident that he can pass these new sanctions, but they may have to, we write them a little or even water them down before that they can get countries like hungary on board. let's not forget that sanctions packages have to be approved by all 27 member states. this has to be a unanimous vote, and there is already a sense that if this package is not approved by the end of friday, at least over the weekend, that yoseph burrell, the foreign policy chief, is already ready to call an extraordinary meeting of foreign ministers. next week

i'm sure you've been monitoring the price of diesel is going high. in fact, it's an all time high in the united states of the country continues to struggle with fuel distribution amid the continuing conflict and ukraine. the average price of the diesel is approaching $6.00 a gallon stay side, it was less than 4 in february, the fuel is crucial to the u. s. economy, as it powers big rig trucks, locomotives, and ships deliver the vast majority of goods to market. of the by did ministration, shift the blame for the inflation to the russian president. while the trucker told this is hard to fully buy into norris's blame things on other countries like russia . i believe that personally, it comes right straight down to, to the administration being the reason for the price. they seem to be very keen on letting it go as high as possible. it affects all drivers as well as myself . so where it's where it's hurting the trucking industry is they're the rates don't

reflect it. and so that means that there's not profit to be able to pull a load. so you're seeing a truck drivers are just independent operators, just saying i can't make any money. i'm just gonna park my truck until this is solved. just to give you a sense of what people are thinking. recent polls have indicated americans have the worst expectations about the u. s. economy in decades. i think joe biden burs responsibility for the rising fuel prices as inflation was on the rise well before the ukraine conflict. after winning the republican nomination for the ohio senate seat this week, j. d van said us politicians need to focus on domestic problems or not get involved in foreign conflicts. what the us state department is saying is a major problem with russia, and at the end of the day, we serve to defend our own country. i got your list that were focused on this border and ukraine. i don't, i gotta be honest with you. i don't really care what happens to you one way or

another. i do care about the fact that in my community right now, the leading called the death, among 18 to 45 year olds, is mexican fentanyl is coming across the southern board. i'm sick of job by focusing on the border of a country. i don't care about, well, what's the border of his own country become a total wars? and there's a few assured by many earlier i discussed how the current fuel crisis has affected the u. s. farming industry with done money, cyril, owner of a 3rd generation family business in california, was the price of fuel being so expensive. everyone's going to pay more for everything. no food polling doesn't matter what it. ready is it's all gonna cost us more to put in our tractor cost more for to produce on the truck to drive the truck, to whereever it's going on. what kind of response to the looming crisis have you seen from the government? be it local in california or federal on what response do you expect? well, i'm not seeing any response. yeah. obviously are aware by saying, oh yes,

we understand there's inflation. it almost feels as if they're, they're doing it on purpose because they don't seem to be bothered in the least. the entire country is suffering greatly because of it and it's become the economy is the time everybody is. number one concern done, joe biden believes the so called putin pricing is wholly responsible for the situation that rising fuel and living cost. what, what do you say to that when he say something that's ridiculous and everybody knows it. i mean, they shut down the troll him industry. first thing they did when they got into office, they're gonna, oh it's, this isn't our fault to see more all, well, it is your fault and you're hurting everybody in america. and everybody in america knows that today the biden got elected, our gas prices in california went up a dollar. so it's like we, we, everybody knows where it's coming from, kicking in the consideration on the challenging economic situation. the country. why do you think many in washington are so focused on the situation in ukraine instead of solving domestic problems? why is up front and center?

i think to, to pull attention away from what's happening to domestically, the more, the more that they can focus on other things it's, it's kind of like, don't, don't pay attention to what's happening behind the curtain. they want us to focus on other things. so it's, it's almost like they're doing every single thing that they can to keep everybody's attention off of what's happening domestically with our, with our prices in, with what's happening in our borders. the u. s. has cut energy imports from here, from russia. story that we've been fallen quite a lot. diesel stockpiles has hit record lows. do you think the government can make up the deficit? the stock price is rising further. they could, if they want it. they don't want this. you know, their happiness. they need to cut more, get away from fuel on or percent go clean energy. well, that's great, but it, the technology isn't there. in the meantime, while you're developing that technology need to keep people healthy. keep the

economy healthy. everything else are you optimistic at all? things will improve the wanna change things. people often wake up and say, you know, no more this, like the guy screaming out the window and it means i don't, i'm not going to take it any more. people are making 20 percent more right now than they were 3 years, and they're worse off. that's how bad these are not just here, probably across the country. okay, another story to bring attention to today, the u. s. has provided real time battlefield intelligence to ukraine, helping the army to target russian troops. now this, according to reports in the new york times in response, moscow said it was already aware of the intelligence assistance coming from the west. she stays and nato providing intelligence data to ukraine. this is well known and of course, together with the arm supplied ukraine by the same countries and the alliance hold of those actions and not helping rapidly finalize the operation. although they

cannot hinder the achievement of objectives set for the special military operation, washington provided intelligence that a large ukrainians to locate and strike the russian naval flagship. the musket for last month, 2 senior american officials told the new york times magazine, the revelation by the sunken worship comes on the heels of another report which claimed shirt until as also help ukraine kill a number of russian generals. while the pentagon has confirmed it, shares information, it denied it was aimed at striking russian military leaders. united states provides battlefield intelligence to help you craniums defend their country. we've talked about that quite a bit. we do not provide intelligence on the location of senior military leaders on the battlefield or participate in the targeting decisions of the ukrainian military or some decades ago during the iran iraq war. the us military and intelligence communities gave secret information to saddam hussein. and yet did nothing to stop his subsequent gas attack some of the worst chemical attacks in history. according

to the foreign policy news publication, we got to take a form of united nations weapons inspector, scott ritter. clearly the u. s. is directly involved. it doesn't mean that you have to have goods on the ground, but involvement in the form of the provision of near real time intelligence information that has an impact on the battlefield is defacto evidence of, of, of u. s. involvement. and then of course, there's the ongoing provision of weaponry which has been provided to the ukrainian armed forces used in combat against the russian troops has caused casualties amongst the russian forces. this is a political game being played by the west. most of this equipment is old, obsolete though it appears to work when it arrives in ukraine, but are rapidly break down. so the sickness equipment is next to useless in the sad

reality is the vast majority of the ukrainian soldiers who will be called upon to man. this equipment will probably become casualties. joseph equipment just so old, so bad and won't function the way it's intended to. locals have been laying flowers out of military cemetery in the netherlands to honor soldiers who fell in the 2nd world war after the graveyard was vandalized this week. on wednesday graves on monuments out the military memorial and nie hainan, the countries all the city where defiled with swastikas and covered with ukrainian flags. the cemetery was closed the next day, but local residents brought flowers to the scene of the instant police in the city are searching for those behind the acts of vandalism. la military cemetery is home to more than a 1000 graves holding soldiers who lost their lives during world war 2 most along 2 british troops. but there is also many buried there from commonwealth countries who fought against the nazis. the moore of the city called the incident disgust.

and finally, with just days to go now before russia's victory day celebrations, uncommon rations moscow's preparations are in full swing. the 943 bustle of spelling rod was one of the major milestones in the great patriotic war that led to the red armies adventurous victory. around 2000000 soldiers took part in the bustle . one of them, yes, guinea crew pat gulf has been recalling the horrors of the fighting. and the insulting tempt and i'm going to be what we're doing is i did give you the credit really really that will be she really gets the nanny you are they get them as a good you got them getting really

by a t s t p hickok. finesse really, really have here, really putting that to that she has that issue when you guys got back to me, i had to keep it. she has ski but i can't go out. i will try to keep it and then you took a goodish yes. and i knew her, you had a crew of your back give me

again whether yes, thank you very pretty, but yeah, yeah, go say that there for you? yes, yes. that's why i got a little boy, that's good scholar, run on his way over here to d, just getting that piece is that this is so the dish has him that you make one clip, isn't it? is it but hey, whatever down there hogs ye, yes. then need that voice should issue toothpaste ation. how you did that. did it or that that did it did. yes they are those that said that i was

doing for the other stay you yeah. do you hate him up a seminar state? he well, he, what he yes he's, he's got a bridge. it here has been my here, i've met those shameka. believe me and, and really never. and then you he i stay ah ah ah, what else shows seemed wrong when all proofs

just don't hold any new role? yes, to feed out disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah ah, a doubles are going to put well. talk to you about your, with a,

with a lawyer. issue somebody over there, both those with you up with

the and i do so as you know that way. i don't want ah ah hello and welcome across the top were all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle, american assistance ukraine continues apace. so much so it begs the following question. at what point will russia consider the us to be a co belligerent in this conflict? the fact is, washington is at war with russia and russia is being forced to respond. i cross sucking escalation. i'm joined by my guess least shanahan in sioux falls. he

is a host of the backstory on radio. sputnik in del mar. we have scott ritter. he is a former intelligence officer in the united nations weapons inspector. and in sydney we crossed to alley risk. he is a contributor with our monitor or a gentleman, cross hoc rules and effect, that means he can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate, scott, let me go to you 1st and del mar, i see that you have a lot of books behind you. i know you write a very often a, you write for a column on the art you website. and so i have kind of a look some linguistic quick questions for you. in the case of the ukraine conflict, what does the word proxy mean to you and what does the word co belligerent mean? see you because it seems to me they are very elastic in this complet. go ahead, scott. well, to me, i mean when, when we speak of a proxy where we're basically saying that ukraine is, um, is doing the billing of the united states. it's in effect of the united states military under another guys. um, you know, it, it, that's a standard term of proxy. so ukraine has an american proxy or

a nato proxy in terms, especially in terms of implementing a policy that had been outlined by secretary to friends. so lloyd austin, when he basically said that the goal of the united states is to bleed russia dry and to make russia, we, um, the army that so that, that, that, that seems to be the tool to make this happen is ukrainian army. so it's an effect we a proxy of the united states implementing a policy of the united states co belligerent um, if you, if anybody thinks that ukraine could sustain this, this resistance that, that it's, it's undertaking right now without the it it, the assistance of the united states and nato look, think again of the united states. naval been pouring and money and equipment material and providing political support as well of that has allowed this so this, this, this resistance to, to continue. this makes the united states and nato,

a co belligerent in this conflict with russia. they are at war with russia. they're tending they're not, but the fact is, through this proxy conflict, united states, nato, is your waging defacto conflict with russia. ok, well if i go to you and sydney, we had officials in the u. k. very, ah, a buoyant about the fact that ukraine is using nato weapons to attack russia. so is as an, isn't that kind of a free for all. now i, shouldn't russia be able to hit a british assets? it's a in poland. i mean that the same thing here. go ahead. indeed, i think that the latest developments have shown, but what's happening is a wider western war being waged against, fraternal, just a ukrainian war. so there are multiple nanometers russia is facing as your previous guest. the said no, i'd have to mention here the report which was published when york times today, which mentioned that.
