[000:00:00;00] a with evacuation from the embattled steel factory in mario pl is finally completed with a total of more than $100.00 civilians being brought to safety. after having been trapped inside also in stories that shape the week the pub tia offer. basically, the engine is mercedes from germany and all the thermal imaging and video cameras inside the electronics. all marks in english are correspondent, mar, you, pull, reveals just how heavily ukraine's nationalist forces depend on western technology as we examine armored vehicles captured by russian troops. slovakia and hungary

slammed used planned to ban russian oil imports with on gary and prime minister, describing the proposal as a nuclear bomb being dropped on the economy. and as the diesel prices hit record highs in the us, the by did ministration puts the blame squarely on vladimir, put in. but not everyone, including those in the farming industry except that narrative, they're going to poland. this isn't our fault. all, all, it is your fault and you heard everybody in america and everybody in america knows it kind of like, don't, don't pay attention to what's happening behind the curtains. and they want us to focus on other things from them, with broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us right now. the evacuation from the surrounded as a stall factory in mario pal has officially been completed. this is, according to the latest statement from the russian defense ministry. over 50

civilians have been taken to safety from the main battle on the, in the conflict within the last few days, bringing the total number of evacuees there to more than $100.00. ukraine claims that all women, children, and the elderly have been evacuated from the as of solstio plant. russia for as far says, all of the rescued civilians were taken to temporary accommodation sites with the assistance of the u. n. and the red cross. now we've heard from some of those evacuated about what the experience godaddy. i forgot to mention when the front line began to approach the factory, they stopped letting us out. it was our idea to hit in the bunker. and when we realized the front line is coming, we were all terrified. we try to leave them poignant. if we knew about the humanitarian corridors, we knew about the evacuation. we'd see, but they just didn't let us out. they specifically approached the buildings and fired from there, realizing that they would come under fire naturally. there was a lot of space at the factory, but they were near civilians. they fired right from our building and then we came under shelling ukraine as estate. it has died for me,

so i was very offended that they were doing this task home. one time they wanted us to dig trenches. the men said that they would not go out to do this because it was dangerous. it's crazy to even think for me that my son can go dig trenches. why should he do this? is his fire has been in place at the factory to provide civilians a safe way to leave the area or to senior correspondent. what are does he have sent us this report from the embattled industrial zone earlier this week? mary, you bull has fallen silent. the quiet seals almost alien, but seed holds. a unilateral cease fire established by russia is now in its 3rd day broken only by the cranium snipers within the adult seal industrial. soon the situation is very fragile right now. there are a senior officials from the un here from the red cross, as well as washer officials,

all trying to negotiate and negotiating with the nationalists still inside the as of steel. industrial complex because the situation is so fragile. journalists have been forbidden from going anywhere near there. that is one of the conditions that the nationalists have put forward to keep the press away, not to feel what is happening. but as i say this, this is a hopeful sign that the ceasefire has now i beat an effect for over 24 hours. the city hasn't been less quiet since the battle began. this quiet has provided us with an opportunity to visit areas recently liberated from nationalists . this is another armored personnel carrier that was captured by russian forces from as of nationalist ukrainian nationalists. this imperfect working condition, other than the tires,

replaced those and off it goes. but this is an a very interesting machine, a b t a 82 k, because the pumps here are from italy. the engine is mercedes from germany and all the thermal imaging and video cameras inside the electronics are all marks in english. now the interesting thing is how did these come into the possession of ukranian nationalists as of nationalist, which until recently, even many western countries considered a the can organisation yet. so nato instructors and nations quietly train them captured documents and pictures, show, and supplied ukraine with high tech equipment that they knew would fall into the hands of ukrainian nationalists. nationalists, and mercenaries. here at the edge of the vos, as of steel industrial compound, he found the body of another ukrainian nationalist killed during the fighting. he

had i. what's interesting about him, if you have a look at, he said it seek it's long. it's very dark on characteristic of ukrainians, most likely one of the many foreign mercenaries fighting on behalf with ukrainian nationalists here. but of course, be interesting to see a full list of just how many nationalists of parish the foreigners, and how many still a lot of inside the vas as of steel industrial compound. russia believes that hundreds of foreign fighters are we've, as of nationalists inside mary, you pulls industrial zones many far right radicals from the americas and europe. white supremacists send war junkies for 2 months. they have also been persistent reports that among them active duty, nato instructors and even offices who may well be according to room was part

of the civilian evacuation. deal more at gas div r t from mary. you both us president joe biden is set to sign the ukraine, lend lease act on monday to facilitate additional supplies of weapons to key if the program last used to during world war 2 is also positioned to benefit the u. s. economy, not his don quarter, explains 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 est 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 your crane. 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 they arms, industry tremendous drive 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 on there is continuing division in the u. concerning brussels proposed new round of sanctions targeting russian energy. the hungarian prime minister has compared the blogs plan to total ban on russian oil to a nuclear bomb for the central european nation. meanwhile, hungry top diplomat has claimed the country as being unfairly attacked because it relies 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 east or 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. he also pointed out that hungry gets around 65 percent of its oil from moscow. budapest earlier confirmed it wouldn't back in a bar, go on russian energy and could veto sanctions on the oil industry. hungry was also among the 1st european countries to agree to allow the conversion of their russian

natural gas payments to roubles. that's as a radical ukrainian website, known for naming and shaming those at deems. enemies of the state has recently added hungarian prime minister victor or bond to its list with the outlet accusing him of being the only you leader to refuse to allow the passage of legal aid for ukraine through hungarian territory. now the site branded hungary leader and anti ukrainian propagandist and an accomplice in, quote, russian crimes. the secretary of ukraine's national security and defense council has also to hungry of wanting to seize ukrainian territory. and even having been informed of russia's military operation in advance, the move provoked an angry response from the deputy chairman of russia's security council dmitri madrid of this rate soon enough, right in 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 beware. you are now under their suspicion. political commentator, george said, well, he believes the e u is seeking ways to put punish hungry for victor or bonds. ame of maintaining good relations with moscow. owner is victo or as distinguished from many countries and with them. well, in declaring that this fight between your brain and russia, hunger is fight, i mean, whole battle ready has problems on the slave with the european union. i mean, the european union is not bringing action against him to the fuse of any fund. it has been trying, speaking more of the ways to punish that. it's very important for hunger is nationalist interest that it may say relation, russia, but obviously it was security reasons,

but not bubble energy. and this is when hungry gets all of the energy from pretty much, you know, 100 percent of its energy comes from russia. so or by saying good relation. right? and another european country doesn't agree with the use plan to sanction russian energy supplies. slovakia government has warned that it won't agree to european commission current blueprint for a ban on russian oil imports and has called for more time to find alternative fuel sources. if it comes to approved embargo of russian oil as part of a further package of sanctions against russia than slovakia will request an exemption to use foreign policy. chief joseph burrell said on thursday that shutting off russian gas imports was not under discussion. gas on like oil, he said would be impossible to replace. can she cedar late is a good medical builder, but the oil market is global and their alternative procures. there may be moments

of transition and some turbulence in prices, but there is no serious problem of saying, oh, if i run out of russian oil, i will raise the price a lot because they will not be oil. this is not the case with oil with gas, it's a different problem. gas to begin with is not only an energy product is pretty much, it is not only used to my case. alicia gas is a raw material in the petrochemical industry and the petrochemical industry in europe. and in particular, in germany ways a lot. gas cannot be replaced by anything other than gas gas from russia or somewhere else, but it must be gas it. and that is why we're especially careful about gas because there are entire sectors of the european petrochemical industry that cannot function if it does not have gas. that topic is not under discussion at the moment . we have been discussing a lot this week and i was in latin america, but i was on the phone all the time and the discussions did not include gas. we have heard repeatedly from politicians such as yoseph, burrell, ursula vaughan de leon and others saying, you know,

each must end it's dependency when it comes to russian energy. and that has previously been oil, gas and coal. and now here we have to box foreign policy chief saying that actually a gas is not on the table saying that, you know, yes, we've been talking about diversification for the future. but obviously that's not something that can be done immediately. but there is also a question as to whether the e will have much for choice in that matter. given that we know that the deadline is fast approaching as to when it will have to decide if it's going to a seed to what the kremlin has asked. and that is for all gas payments to be made in groups from now on. we've already seen in the last week what happens to countries that decides that they wouldn't do that. poland and bulgaria had their supplies cut off after they refused to pay for that gas supply in rubles in other countries. there the you are trying to make that decision. now, this conflicting advice from you are paying commission in some documents. it saying

it would be possible to do this with an exchange mechanism in place. in other documents it says no if you pay a lease will breach the sanctions at the moment. so difficult time to head the you to make that decision over see what it feels there is the potential for russia to turn off those types anyway. and essentially take that decision on the table. and in the u. s, the energy crisis has also impacted diesel fuel. that commodity is now in short supply in the country after joe biden band in ports of russian oil. over the conflict in ukraine. the price has hit a national all time high with the government. continuing to struggle with fuel distribution. diesel prices have surged to more than $6.00 a gallon after being less than $4.00 over the past year. the fuel is crucial to the u. s. economy as it powers big trucks and trains and ship the deliver the vast majority of goods. but while the by the administration has tried to shift the blame to the russian president,

some in the transport industry say that it's hard to buy into that narrative. here's what one trucker had to say. they blame things on other countries like russia. i believe that personally 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 effects all. busy 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. and so you're seeing truck drivers are just independent operators, just saying i can't make any money. i'm just going to park my truck until this is solved. recent polls have indicated americans have the worst expectations about the u. s. economy in decades, and they think joe biden bears 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. vance said that us politicians need to focus on domestic problems and not get involved in foreign conflicts. what the us state department is saying is a major problem with russia. at the end of the day, we serve to defend our own country. i got to pick it lists that were focused on this border and ukraine. i don't, i don't want to be, i don't really hear what happens to frame one way or another. i do care about the fact that in my community right now, the leading cause of death, among 18 to 45 year old is mexican fit and all that's coming across the southern border. i'm sick of job focusing on the border of a country. i don't care about while the west, the border of his own country become a total war zone. the owners of a 3rd generation family business in california damn and, and massaro shared their thoughts about the current field crisis. earlier with my colleague unit o'neill, they say that it seems like the government is not really interested in their

concerns. was the price of fuel being sold expensive. everyone is going to pay more for everything. no food holding doesn't matter what it is. it's our bona it cost us more to put in our tractor cost more for to produce on the truck to drive the truck to where it's going. 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 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 because the economy is the time everybody's number one concern done, joe biden believes the so called putting price hike is wholly responsible for the situation at 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 going to oaks. this isn't our fault, this is not all. well, it is your fault and you're hurting everybody in america. and everybody in america knows that today the vitamin got elected, our gas prices in california, one up a dollar tell, it's like we, we, everybody knows where it's coming from, taking into 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 whole 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 and with what's happening in our borders. as the u. s. a sees another surge of undocumented migrants crossing. it's the southern border,

the mexican president has lashed out at washington for prioritizing. scuse me, provide support for you claim, instead of resolving problems in their own region. they have already approved $30000000000.00 for the war in ukraine. while we have been waiting since president donald trump asking they donate $4000000000.00 and as of today, nothing absolutely nothing. honestly, it seems inexplicable. the statement was made, as the mexican president embarked on a tour of central american countries with regional development and migration on the agenda. the u. s. had earlier rebuffed mexico's calls to fund a tree planting program, aimed at tackling poverty and unemployment in the country. with those factors, having pushed thousands northward across the border, sparking yet another immigration crisis in the region, gloria la river and organizer at the anti justice anti injustice group. the answer coalition says, washington should prioritize investments in the americas over sponsoring warfare

and ukraine. the only answer to the crisis of immigration is for the united states to provide funding. billions of dollars are needed for economic development, true development for the working people of guatemala, of all central america and even mexico. and yet, despite asking for a simple $4000000000.00 from the united states to help economic development in central america. so people don't feel forced to flee their country. the u. s. chooses instead to ignore that requested mexico, and instead send billions of dollars for an expanding war in the ukraine. the u. s . has always thought latin america was their backyard, and even someone like john bolton during trump's administration sent at the monroe doctrine of the u. s. dominating latin america,

he said the monroe doctrine is very much alive and well. and what we're seeing is that people do not flee their countries in central america and mexico because they wish to come to discrimination, deportations, poverty in the us. they leave their countries because they have no other choice. and that economic crisis in central america is created by u. s. policy. with victory in europe, day on the horizon, dutch people have been laying flowers, alley military ceremony in the netherlands to honor the memory of soldiers following world war 2. after the graveyard was vandalized. earlier this week, on wednesday graves and monuments at the military memorial in the city of 9 me, meghan were defiled with swastikas and covered with ukrainian flags. now the cemetery was closed the next day, but local residents brought flowers to the scene of the incident. police are looking for those behind the acts of vandalism. at this time,

of the military ceremony. cemetery is home to more than a 1000 grace, holding soldiers who lost their lives during world war 2. most belong to british troops who fought against the nazis. the mayor of the city called the incident disgusting and as allied powers celebrate victory day in europe, the contributions of ukrainians to the triumph over naziism would be hard to overestimate . as every 6, the fighter in the ranks of the soviet red army was ukrainian. now in october of 1944, the ukrainian socialist republic was completely liberated from the nazi invaders. the city of mario apple had been occupied for almost 2 years. r t has heard from a war time veteran who witnessed the occupation. this total, you know, we were a new, super slow hack. i was. so are you new him? so cuz like
