ah ah, russia marked the anniversary of victory over a nazi germany with a grub parade held in moscow, $11000.00 troops, and more than a 100 military vehicles took part in monday's events. in his victory de speech vladimir putin draw parallels between the current conflict in ukraine. them the fight against the nazis during the 2nd world. with you are fighting for your homeland in its future to ensure that no one forgets the lessons in the 2nd mode will say that there is no place in the world. the execution is punishes and nazis with it comes after people in europe celebrated v day on sundays, with crowds paying tribute to the fallen soldiers parties of

a mortal regiment to march just after one in the afternoon here in the russian capital, this is our t grid of your company today, my name's unit o'neill. celebrations are being held across russia to commemorate the 77th anniversary of victory over the nazi's. military parades have now wrapped up with the largest taking place in moscow. here some of the highlights from red square or, ah mm mm,

mm mm. mm. the out the event the russian president delivered a speech in commemoration of victory over the 3rd reich. vladimir putin praise the

heroic sacrifice made by the soviet people. some 27000000 citizens were killed. and also said that mosque was recent attempts to broker a security agreement with nato over the ukraine conflict were unfortunately in vain . for another music ideal enough, a solution. nato nations did not want to heat our call. this means in reality, they had different plans, and we saw that openly. they were preparing for another operation in the dom. back to invade our historical lands, including crimea in kiev. they were making statements about the possible acquisition of nuclear weapons. more nato started actively exploring territories next to us, not hence, they were trying to create an unacceptable threat in the vicinity of our borders. everything pointed to the fact that the clash against neo nazi follows the u. s. and the satellites put to stay content with something that had to happen. it was becoming more and more dangerous with every passing day. and russia prevented this

hostility. we had to do this, it was timely, and it was the only right thing to do. it was the decision of a strong sovereign, an independent country as that road you know, you are fighting for your homeland and its future to ensure that no one forgets the lessons of the 2nd world war. so that there is no place in the world. the execution is punishes and not feasible. love him or potent also choose western powers of falling the flames of the russian sentiments and allegedly trying to wipe out the soviet contribution to victory over the nazis. let's examine the current attempted cancellation of russian history and culture. as the conflicts in ukraine goes on, western countries have been trying to twist certain positive history, especially the role of the soviet union in fighting fascism and naziism, 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 and poland. everything 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, including 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 tried to draw a historical parallels. the red army engaged in gram headed trustees and massacres during utopia. patient of ether, poland, finn, and other east european countries and $0.90 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 their hands in ukraine. some articles have given space for new interpretations of victory day as russia who on ukraine continues the day will take on new meaning. it's very much that galvanizing support for russia the present and showing off the strength of rushes, military forces, us diplomats of 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 likes, 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 nasa struggle. but 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 me system mostly functional. we hear that lately, the west, there are more and more warts 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 in the altar of victory over nazis. you are sacred now, but if i give them a month, a very poignant today of all days. international affairs, expert stuffing, got judge believe some you officials have been white washing and protecting neo

nazi groups operating in the ukraine military. europe is once again united against russia. and this is something that we have seen are the mediaeval 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 get why i don't whitewashed,

or actually the propaganda machinery and was trying to look on the west the how are days. but let's say in the political west is trying to whitewash all of this and to, to present the neo nazis as the freedom fighters. and at the end of the day, even if things get so obvious that they say ok. so what is they are not you, they are defending europe. well, humor also said that he was defending europe. now there were actually bolsters, there were 2 in occupied belgrade which were literally with the same message that we hear from also. busy from the line and in the dunbar, city of mar, you fall recently retaken by russian. that forces victory day is also being celebrated. a huge 300 meter long st. george ribbon was unfurled in the city of the eternal flame, while solemnly let people have been carrying portraits of their relatives on laying

flowers up the monument to the fallen. many of the local se, there happy to be able to openly celebrate victory day for the 1st time in 8 years . as modern people have been under the control of ukraine's military since 24th, teen ortiz from on cost ref, is there for us. the 9th of may, the victory day, is being celebrated officially here in the city of variable for the 1st time in the last 8 years. there are several events planned for the day. first of all, of course, is the lighting all the eternal plane. once again, the 1st time in the last 8 years later on there's going to be a rally where a locals will walk from the terminal flame to the monuments of the people who fill in the fight against her fascism in the 2nd world war her. here in that maria poll, i spoke to some of the people and asked them what this date 9th of made means to them, and how they been celebrated over the last 8 years. let's have

a listen. it and we were just that we are very sorry that all this stopped in 2014 . if we had gone further that maybe there would not have been so many victims been so much destruction it them. but i think it's a holiday. it's not even a longing, this is a joy that overwhelmed the so because for all 8 years, all this was forbidden, here under 60 test pennies. there is a holiday in my soul now because we have been waiting for all 8 years that we were waiting for victory day one when we wouldn't be afraid to go to the monument and lay flowers. well, just to add to that every 6 fighter in the ranks of the soviet red army was from ukraine or don bus in october, 1944. the ukrainian socialist republic was completely liberated from the nazis with the city of mario people having been occupied for almost 2 years. r t has heard from a man who witnessed the events of the young boy. oh,

that much fellowship. me, i need to do for no charge to let you know what the ceiling is. does janet for the local u, as in i federal special when the notice of i've been

doing it gives you, i think you can the escape so you feel like you get a place to kinda give you a partial again, thank you for your time. we come with us and by doing so, i will get you a feel for all of them. so give me a, i think you have a let's say best and shania,

but that it can be that reading a lot that she do with voice. she lee needs you were really even weren't sure. no, i don't. what i said at me when i really feel like that she so like you, but think digital media media, you who crappy ever logo or some wheeler that citing the in the human. i know easy by betty, a keep beachy stand you, jackie dickies, a bashing. but they're only god, what did you believe is i right the field he had to? what does he ah,

ah ah . and some news coming in of what looks to be an unpleasant episode from poland. russia's ambassador to the country has apparently been dosed with red paint during a ceremony. paying tribute to soviet soldiers in warsaw sergei on 3. i would have been at ling flowers before at thought attack. it came from a nearby cried. it's not clear if any suspects have been detained, the russian buster was or should away from the scene by police at, for his own safe to we know that earlier. and he had acute pull into trying to

destroy bilateral relations by expelling 45 of its diplomats and blocking the embassies bank account. so i had that news just coming and brushes, imposter dust with red paint. we'll try and get some verification of that shortly. while as the fighting continues in dunbar, american activist john parker visited the live dance republic this week and took the opportunity to blame the u. s. government for helping key of to keep its war effort going. 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 to 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 tortured people with. and they will talk about the fact that these neo nazis, i've 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 their 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 information that they're, they're telling the ukrainian military where to target russian generals, this is, these are provocations of war. john parker. meanwhile, joe biden is set to sign the lend lease act later on monday to facilitate increase in military supplies to key. if the u. s. has already given more than $3000000000.00 in lethal aid to ukraine and has sold an additional $165000000000.00 worth of weaponry to the country. because of that, the u. s. congressman has said american weaponry stock balls are not running low. we just burn through 7 years worth of javelins and that's not only important as we continue to try and help ukrainians when in ukraine. that's important as we try to simultaneously defend taiwan from aggression from the chinese communist party.

they're going to need access to some of these 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 massive flow of weaponry from the west to ukraine, the quality of the arms reportedly appears far from top notch. a ukrainian officer who surrendered to russian forces has criticized the equipment provided to keep from the e. u and washington saying, the weaponry didn't live up to the hype. no, we're in apple much of santos. u. s. military aid was overrated. or hyped up grenade launchers, javelins and, and laws turned out to be flawed. in practice. there were lots of misfires in only one and 4 shot correctly. it happened that they could not had to 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. 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. another aspect of the conflict g 7 countries are pledged to shut down in ports of russian oil in their latest move against moscow. but that comes, of course, as inflation rates in many western countries are setting record highs and also wanting concerns about a potential global hunger crisis. r t. charlotte dubin skate picks up the story. what we've seen here is a big announcement from these 7 countries. these big economic blocks that say, they don't want to buy russian oil in the future. they made that announcement as they were talking to presidents and lensky of ukraine over the weekend. and the idea is that they say that by denying these exports of russian oil to that big economies, they could really hit hard that the artery of president putin called me in russia and therefore deny him the funds he needs for this war in ukraine. when is this

going to happen? well, the detail has been left out and that's precisely because certain countries of fall more dependent on the imports of russian oil than others. what they have sent though, is that this will be done timely and orderly that for trying to protect those economies that are most at risk from cutting back on that oil. meanwhile, we've seen the e u, which has similar plans to hold all in ports of russian also to come under ice this weekend. we know that ministers have been talking for the last few days trying to reach agreement on this package. but so far that seems to have alluded that we heard from an italian minister over the weekend saying his country is now in a war economy. and that is something that could spread to other countries as the sanctions seem to not just hit russia, but they're biting back here in europe to. inflation rate in euro's own has hit

a new high of 7.5 percent since 1997 us sanctions against russia hurt allies. another reminder of what henry kissinger said, it may be dangerous to be america's enemy, but to be america's friend is fatal. well soaring prices have been hitting the pockets of consumers across the common food goods, such as wheat, vegetable oils and even sugar have seen price increases. in some places, you just simply cannot buy these products at any longer. now there is no sense of any food insecurity that will take place here in the e u, at least in the near future. however, there is a concern for other regions, poor regions which have more dependency. the situation is highly dramatic. due to corona extreme droughts, and now the war food prices worldwide have increased by a 3rd and are now at record levels. the world food program currently assumes that far more than 300000000 people are suffering from acute hunger and has to

constantly revise its forecasts upwards. the bitter message is that we are facing the worst famine since world war 2 with millions of dead will. it is a due to me by tuesday again to try and get through this 6, a sanctions package on russia. we know that each package is becoming more and more difficult to get all $27.00 member states to agree on that. but they will try and thrash that out again over the next few days. and it could be, as the greek prime minister has said, in a number of articles and interviews of late will. the need to do is to be careful that it's not shooting itself in the foot with the sanctions, and the sanction packages have to have more impact on russia than they do on e u countries. well, economics professor jack rosman says he expects the already soaring inflation rates to keep rising. you know, it's very clear, doyle companies,

united states are doing everything they can to construct supply before no coven didn't 2019 the u. s. was pumping 13000000 barrels a day. they could do that now, but they're making sure they only pump 11000000 a day. and, you know, they're going to have to provide oil to western europe now, which means even more shortages in u. s. and even more oil inflation in the u. s. or, and gas and commodity inflation has not peaked yet. it's like a perfect storm of inflation occurring everywhere. and it doesn't appear that there's any policies that's being proposed to do anything about it in the united states. they're proposing the central bank to raise interest rates to precipitate recession were already almost in a recession. we had a contraction, a g, d p in the 1st quarter. but that's the solution that they're, they're planning on to crater a recession in europe. they're a little further behind that, but you know,

it's runaway inflation and it looks like recession around the corner. and there's no real solutions being propose. a european parliament member from ireland has said that a blanket bond on russian oil was not save ukrainian lives. because at the e doesn't buy the fuel, somebody else will, and it's the european people who will bear the brunt. 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. with unity among the each member states is being challenged by their failure to agree on new sanctions against the russian energy sector. with hungry speaking out against the proposed e bound on russian fuel imports, while italian and greek officials have also emphasized that it's european citizens who be the most effective 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 amid plans to make the e u independent of russian energy with the block due to restart its attempts to cut gas in for the next week. a proposed program would c e o members with sufficient energy sources resources such as spain. then being forced to share supplies with fellow use states a need. brussels also plans to demand energy rationing in the unions. industrial sector. while the deputy terminal russia security council, dmitri man, has mocked the block over what he calls it, 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 in roubles. political scientists, i, k, helmer, says the economics found off actually contradicts the interests of regular european . this, this entering into this economic war as the new dog is totally liberty. it has nothing to do with you. it was a war that americans 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. but if you'd like to delve deeper into any of this, our stories a solid jumping off point as our website is plenty to keep you entertained and

informed their life from moscow on victory day 2022. this is our t o i a oh gosh, nobody will actually this it or she actually we're not on wiley on the sheet on their punk, their dish has a lot osha. laura, that the she was she yeah. i do have school or g, f, q 3 a i z 8 you shes leeway huddle shell. it's or chris sheila, who did go to post what they were still pretty what g o s e, and up on the water,
