ah ah, the neo nazi as of battalion says she has essentially left them to die trapped in a steel factory and mar, you pull despite russian troops. having repeatedly offered them a chance to surrender. an american activist and politician visiting the luke gone to republic, express his concerns about us government support for the neo nazi affiliated administration in queue. they train these neo nazis. and not only that, they're neo nazis united states who are a big problem for us. going to the ukraine and getting military training from these forces and coming back and creating more terror european parliament member says and embargo on russian oil would not save ukrainian lives as you struggle with

a proposed plan to ban russian fuel import and victory de commemorations are planned for all across russia today with the main parade to take place in the heart of moscow, military vehicles are currently heading to red square for the main event with kathy laundry. from a studio in moscow, this is our international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us in our neo nazi, as of battalion leaders have lashed out at key of saying, the ukrainian government has effectively left them to die. have the as of steel factor in valuable was about 600 troops wounded there. that's, as russia has repeatedly offered, those entrenched at the plant, a chance to surrender, which has so far been rejected. on sunday, all the civilians were finally evacuated from the steel works by russian troops. with the assistance of the un and red cross. moscow had repeatedly express concerns

that the civilians were essentially being used as human shields. the radicals had also reportedly been trying to exchange civilians for supplies of food and water. meanwhile, russian and done yet can forces have been trying to completely pin down any resistance at the plant. you can see in these images on yes, ca troops working to destroy a bridge to cut off the remaining ukrainian forces from a key supply line. we heard from a commander in charge of the operations there who says the fighting is almost over . most justly knows where there is an ideological war unfolding at the moment here in mary, a pull rather than an actual war shit. it's more about symbolism right now. he was trying to make those who defend the as if steel factory into some sort of heroes like the soviet defenders of service to pull during world war 2. it's not true, of course the films will twist the plot is they want me, the enemies will benefit from this propaganda. they will write books about this. we will write our own was of course,

the last part of this in time mary pool saw is devoted to this ideological war going. there is serious propaganda work and information war. but we have shown that even without any serious advantage, we have defeated them on. if we have shown that the enemy can be beaten from even in the urban conditions where the ratio is one to one, there are a few who have managed to do this in history. well, you know from ok, john parker and american activists writer and leader in the communist workers world party visited the lugens people's republic this week to show his support for the reconstruction effort. he also express concerns that the u. s. administration has been backing the neo nazi affiliated government and give the they train these neo nazis. and not only that, they're neo nazis in the united states who are a big problem for us going to the ukraine and getting military training from these forces and coming back and creating more terror. but yes,

the u. s. as funded these folks, since 2004, they've given $22400000000.00, the ukraine. and a lot of that money is going to these neo nazi forces. they'd all talk about the, the prisons that these neo nazis have, and death tortured people with. and then we'll talk about the fact that these neo nazis have been infiltrated into the government and parliament. we did get a lot of eye witness testimony about the targeting of civilians in terms of targeting their homes the treatment that they received. the we are very concerned about the push towards world war 3, which is what every day it seems like they are increasing the money, the billions of dollars that they're sending to the ukraine, and the weapons,

and the stingers in the whatever they call those javelins. and the surface to air missiles and very sophisticated machinery of death that they're sending. and there's even an information that they're, they're telling the ukrainian military where to target russian generals, this is that these are publications of war. meanwhile, joe biden is set to sign the lend lease act for ukraine today to facilitate increased military supplies to key if the u. s. has already given more than $3000000000.00 in aid to ukraine and has sold an additional $165000000.00 worth of weapons to the country. but a us congressman says american weaponry stockpiles are now running low. we just burn through 7 years worth of javelins and that's not only important as we continue to try and help you craniums when in ukraine. that's important. as we tried to simultaneously defend taiwan from aggression from the chinese communist party.

they're going to need access to some of the same weapon systems, and we simply don't have the stock piles at present in order to backfill what we've spent in ukraine. however, despite the incomparably huge flow of weaponry from the west to ukraine, the quality of the army piers far from adequate a surrendered ukrainian officer, has criticized equipment provided to ukraine from the u and the u. s. saying the weaponry didn't live up to all. the hype and ukrainian troops were not properly trained on how to use it. mover, and that was the 2nd. the u. s. military aid was overrated. the hyped up grenade launchers, javelins and n laws, turned out to be flawed. in practice, there were lots of misfires, only one and 4 shot correctly had happened that they could not hit a target at just 50 meters. often the batteries had expired. with it written that the expiration day was close, we were trained really quickly at

a shooting range and we did manage to thoroughly understand how the equipment works . so we didn't try to use it in combat conditions. just about everyone didn't understand why the misfires were occurring, still, particularly an irish european parliament member says that an embargo on russian oil would not save ukrainian lives. because if the you doesn't buy the commodity, someone else will, and regular europeans would still suffer if europe isn't buying it, someone else, well, the ordinary people of europe will be paying that price. not a single ukrainian life will be saved. unity among the used member states is being challenged by their failure to agree on that new sanctions against the russian energy sector. with hungarian, with the hungary, excuse me, speaking out against a proposed u ban on russian fuel imports. meanwhile, italian and greek officials have emphasized it is regular you citizens who would be affected the most. we are in

a war economy in this war economy. some countries will be much more affected by these energy choices than others. we in europe know perfectly well that we are not able to impose sanctions. that will ultimately harm us more that russia and greece insists on this position. the discord comes at mid plans to make the you independent of russian energy sources with the block to embark on its re power initiative next week to cut russian gas imports. the program would c e o members with energy resources such as spain forced to give supplies to those that lack them . brussels also plans to demand energy rationing in the industrial sector. the deputy chairman of russia's security council dmitri marietta has marked the you over their seemingly communist sentiments. the communist spirit has finally reached through to the europeans, or at least it did, according to the media. those fat europeans who have diverse gas supplies will be forced to share them with the poor,

but proud neighboring countries that don't want to pay for russian gas and roubles, economist and publisher i commer, claims that the economic warfare contradicts the interests of regular europeans. this, this entering into this economic war as the new dog is totally deliberate. d, that has nothing to do with the new. it was a war of the brakes were both not members of the u. s. started or went into so when there was no need at all for the that still no need to ration the gas. they can just pay the russians in roubles as demand this european. the repartee does not care about the member states, but we have seen many times in other political affairs. crushed stone nowhere to all where the gas is mostly needed. meanwhile, the energy crisis has hit the u. s. as well, with 2 thirds of american drivers,

seemingly forced to change their daily habits as gasoline prices continue to search . this is according to a recent poll which has revealed that the surging prices have directly impacted americans lives with most of the respondents saying they have been cutting back on using their vehicles while some are filling up their tanks with only as much gasoline as they can afford others have decided to use public transportation or search for gas stations with the lowest possible prices. while prices in the us have risen more than 40 percent this year with some blaming the ongoing war in ukraine. as western sanctions have cut some oil supply from russia, americans, we spoke with our deeply concerned about the issue. so like another car payment is really what you're paying for gas to $300.00. every 2 weeks is pretty like it's harder on the families, especially. it affects everything that our everyday choices that we make really so

you can't do much things they can go out is much you can't buy things you want to buy. you have to think about why to preserve money for gas or in any of the food as love. people are definitely changing their buying habits there. you know, i don't know that they're not, they're spending less than probably spending less money, but there's no, you know, they're, they're looking for deals a little bit more frequently. i think i do think this administration needs to really start care about the people you know, like if you still want to be greedy and rich, i mean, can't you do that and still help the people at the same time victory de commemorations are taking place all across russia today, a national holiday, when people recall the sacrifices made during world war 2, russian military vehicles are heading to moscow's red square for the upcoming start

of the main military parade in the heart of the russian capital this morning. you're looking at live pictures. looks like coming down to the sky right now as basically preparations are getting underway. as russia celebrate 60 day, we continue our special coverage with the story of yvonne leads can, who served in soviet military intelligence at the start of the war. he was too young to take part, but like many soviet children, he lied about his age to join the armed forces. he spoke about how he couldn't sit out the fight after nazi germany invaded his country over the gentler not the starboard church for my daughter,

she's pretty wrong writing sheen or you know how to go wrong or not but for her to scroll? no, i'm not for my class, roger, but delivering all that there is no longer jason . really me sure. that the great yeah version. i'm not sure where you starter know. she knows 9 little writers. chapman from there. i knew i could shut our grad

dropped 3rd period, but our guy was killing us commissioner, bringing our insurance roster. does nike? we're never going to lose insurance. refrigerators and i didn't start a year for you so much stronger. i the all settled, almost all on the farm is starting to create a merger to show it done purge for just shot historical stars. i bring your look ross bras.

i thought french dies of as i here nor did i look. i need you are not let me know you are on petition. irish. yes, you're very most awesome, right? yeah, right. within the context of the current geo political shifts, western powers are now fanning the flames of anti russian sentiments, trying to wipe out the soviet contribution to the victory over naziism in world war 2. by demolishing monuments and fabricating false historical parallels with the current conflict and ukraine. as the conflicts in ukraine goes on, western countries have been trying to twist sudden positive history, especially the role of the soviet union in fighting fascism and nazi is the

desecration or demolition of soviet era. monuments and cemeteries has been taken to a new level, getting rid of soviet symbols as the responsibility of all local administrations. there are about 60 places on our list where such symbolism needs to be removed. moscow has repeatedly condemned walsall calling on it not to follow the lead of radical politicians. this is not the 1st time we have come across such a shameful phenomenon. the war against soviet monuments in poland. every thing that is happening in poland now is happening in violation of bilateral, gorgeous, and the norms of civilized communication. traditional tokens of awareness have not escaped detention either. the st. george's ribbon, a case symbol in russia and abroad and use for commemorating world war 2 east in front veterans has been banned in moldova. the president said the ribbons place is in the trash can of history of the western politicians are also not mincing. that

was when it comes to comparisons between the conflict and ukraine and world war 2. every russian has learned about the siege of leningrad during world war 2. sadly, history has repeated itself, but now it's the russian government cruelly starving ukrainian cities taking 2 completely different situations and gluing them together. one that involves starving a city into submission. the other that has attempted humanitarian corridors and a deliveries. and the western media has been going even further and trying to draw historical parallels. the red army engaged in graham headed trustees and massacres during utopia, patient of a poland finn and other east european countries and $0.90. 99041 scenes nowadays from butcher mary. you pull car, cough and other ukranian cities, shows that russian soldiers over the past 10 weeks have perpetrated atrocities against events in ukraine. some articles have given space for new interpretations of victory day as rushes who on ukraine continues the day will take on new meaning

. it's very much rad galvanizing support for russia, the present and showing off the strength of rushes military forces. us diplomats have even accused the soviet union of being an ally of the nazis by cherry, picking specific episodes out of a much bigger historical context, put in life to accuse his victims of b, nazis. but it's important to remember that in 1939, that's a germany on the soviet union, son and non aggression pact, only after the knots this launch a surprise attack on the ussr. in june 1941, the, the soviet union joined the anti masses struggle both of this makes not just a revision of the outcome of world war 2 and the bloody sacrifices of the soviet people they've been canceled. mrs. timber muslims. i'm sure we hear that lately. the west, there are more and more warrants that the documents signed by the soviet to tell terry regime which consolidate the results of the 2nd world war. we should no longer be carried out. the results of the 2nd world war, as well as the sacrifices made by our people when the altar of victory over nazi

you are sacred milk. but if i give them the medicines will ride with russian military vehicles arriving in moscow city center to take part in the prey. you can actually see live pictures behind me of the tanks. moving down to the sky boulevard, which is one of the main entryways leaves right down to the center of moscow and to the kremlin itself. beautiful shot, they're actually r t senior correspondent without god give, has sent us this report while on his way to red square with a russian military convoy take a look. ah, we're now on our way towards the red square in these last column of military vehicles. all sorts here there are armored personnel carriers like the one where riding the b. i'm p 3. but part of the preconditions for us that hit your rod was with these hats for safety reasons. obviously.

now this column is these huge orland oh, there are $131.00 military vehicles as part of this whole nation taking part in this parade, which is much fewer that in the years past. but given the circumstances, the, the conflict in ukraine, it was decided to downsize, the deborah vehicles participated. nevertheless, there are examples of all sorts of vehicles armored personnel carriers, protected cars, armored personnel carriers as well as tags, as well as all sorts of ha, i'm a personnel carriers as well as, as armored cars and t, air defense systems,

multiple raw if you'd like to systems tactical miss all launch is that even aimed to call the dental ballistic missiles nuclear missiles, the youtube conflict, which is traditionally and the parade through the red square. again, there are also few other people of your truth, 11000 versus 12000 last year for victory day, which was celebrated in the west on sunday, europeans took to the streets to pay tribute to the memory of soldiers who lost their lives in the fight against fascism people in europe's largest cities acknowledged those fallen during world war 2 with participants in the immortal regiment procession carrying photos of deceased soldiers as well as soviet and russian flags. a massive march took place in paris as well, and french president manuel micron lay flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier.

but not. busy all the events were peaceful in madrid, for example, a man with the ukrainian flag ran into a crowd and attacked some participants. but police officers quickly stepped into apprehend the suspect, who appeared to resist arrest. during a subsequent pro you came, demonstration protesters, boot russia, and brandish ukrainian flags and posters calling victory day a day of shame for moscow. meanwhile, chief ursula vendor line used the holiday to speak out about the ukraine conflict, pointing the finger at russia instead of focusing on the crucial role that russian forces had the victory in world war 2. the criminal invasion reminds us why we are celebrating europe day 7 to 2 years later, europe is stronger and more united than ever. we sent united in supporting our ukrainian friends. we heard from international affairs expert steven guy

a true says you senior officials have been white washing and protecting ukrainian neo nazi troops. europe is once again united against russia. this is something that we have seen the medieval times, and i think it is also very indicative that she's this is so close the victory they occasion really allows the job because the victory, they actually came once the red army, the soviet troops and russia is the successor on the soviet union, one to solve it. so troops liberated europe from, from naziism. we come to this paradox that people in ukraine who are actually saying that they are not caesar such and such as the the battalion or are all right, sector and many other units. and they, they get why i know why it was,

or actually the propaganda machinery and was trying to look into us know how holidays. but let's say in the political west is trying to whitewash all of this and to try to present the or not see as the freedom fighters and at the end of the day, even if things yet. so all the of them is the ok. so why did they are not you? they are defending europe. well, humor also said that he was defending europe. now there were actually both or is there were 2 in occupied belgrade which were literally with the same message that we hear from also. busy from the line in hong kong, beijing loyalist john lee has been elected as the administration's new leader, the former security chief won over 99 percent of the votes cast by the largely pro beijing election committee. now lee was the only candidate for the job receiving more than 1400 votes, far exceeding the 751 votes he needed to win. and of course,

this was the highest level of support for the administration's top position. he is known for his loyalty to the chinese government and close ties with beijing. but although lee has china's back thing, he previously courted controversy and hong kong with his role and overseeing a crackdown on demonstrations in 2018. those protests rocks the financial hub and eventually led to beijing, introducing a security law. the critics claim has stifled descent. 3 years of covered turmoil and the restrictions have contributed to an economic decline along with arise and unemployment with a large number of people leaving the territory. professor, you, you chin a senior fellow at china's red minute university. so the most important goal for the new chief executive should be to unite residence and bring stability. he has a mentor, carolyn jim, at the main challenges has on there are 2 parts. the 1st okay,

should try to talk to some people united on the new government on the 2nd should try for the past with together with this team member started to fill it up confidence. that means that then all this competence i'm the unity of hong kong people can make the hong kong economic recovery as soon as possible. that's where the hong company, it's very important role in the international market. also, he, chinese market. also, hong kong have special functions start to promoter radiation with the south east asian countries. i'm the data come through all fargo, china. so hong kong is a very unique community. china. so that's why i said, chris major challenges top. how to keep to volunteer your time. achievement at hong kong has already achieved and, and continue to make more contributions to make hong kong more progress and more

modernized, and also well accessed with global market. i sure hasn't been there positive syndicate status of the people, you know, nitrogen i'm the major is that the shooter a fire the the venue of hong kong people started to cut them, lighted that does it for me this hour i will be back with say in $32.00 and a half minutes with another full and fresh look at your news. this is our to international ah. with the for the move in the

business, and you will clean the rugby shoes and you made it comes, graham. we just got to really just touch the ceiling in for when you are such a sure. even author of the different sit impala child when you get thrown with them the problem and you're still there with that actually if you're, you're sick. if history as if you are both in the study skills on that, just a bunch of stuff coming off on ok which, which in the longer it was just proposed to just a moment because i knew a divorce. you don't wish to know for the don't know is actually just giving me that you're comfortable going to these just opinions, but not come me

me. i know that welcome to the parts regardless of the outcome of the conflict between russia and your brain will for years remain and open the wounds between people once considered themselves. brothers and wild threat recital tribe is all the history, the confrontation over your brain. they have given rise to a totally new phenomenon of instrumental eyes and cultivated trip, who doesn't serve or discuss it, joined by thomas cross, professor of russian history and the additional ranting diversity of sciences. in budapest, professor couse professor chris,

thank you very much for your time. i appreciate the opportunity to talk to you. hello. you have been researching russian and soviet history for a long time. and you've also analyze it from the perspective of russian relations. was the west. why was this perception of russians as bloodthirsty barbarians isn't a new idea? is it maybe a stud, this is an old idea. yes. when you want to pinpoint the historical roots of fruits of phobia for me, because i don't know how to go back to the 16th century. she has lots of pictures, that's the movie and stuff. what would it be? that was the time when bratia became in a way arrival to britain and that was back then the british empire did double billed seed up by scenes that period. we have seen rissa fo.
