must protect this own existence with a right now we're moving deeper into the stuff we're moving toward one of the tunnels. so what is actually shocking here is not the place even itself, but the sheer scale of it are correspondents, reports exclusively from inside the of steel ponds getting access to the former high doubts of ukrainian troops. that's the last group of them surrendered, ending in 3 months each. a shortage of russian fertilizers in mexico. take this whole on local farmers. we call out the growing disaster losing more and more it would basically mean death. what would happen to the people in the whole country without agriculture? on the course of the world is said to be on the verge of famine as the war in

ukraine on the western sanctions against russia disrupt global supply chains. we discussed that issue with the panel of guests. it's the united states actually, refusal to take into account russia, security concerns that has led to the present situation cleared, pinpointing russia again because they're looking for a scapegoat they want this war. ah, most of the world you're watching all the international mon is peter scott's and he's great to have you with us. russian underneath forces have started d mining operations. the as of style steel plants decides had been on the scene for almost 3 months. being the last stronghold of the nationalist of battalion, the last of the troops surrendered on friday are exclusive footage shows explosives left around the facility, the d mining of the permits. it will take around 2 weeks. ortiz

e good is done of is among the 1st to enter the plants, and he sent us this exclusive report from inside. this deal works where he accessed the very heart of the ukrainian soul. just hide out. ah so right now we're moving deeper into the a found my is left by the ukranian forces. in fact, what we're doing, we're moving towards one of the tunnels, one of the entrances into a tunnel that they used to well move around to move around supplies and well to move around safely because this whole area was shelled very heavily this. so as we move in or you can see, you can just check out this deal. we can fit more than just one person. whole truck

could potentially well fit in here. so they weren't squeezes stuff like a foxhole or anything. this is major. so what is actually shocking here is not the place even itself, but the sheer scale of it. we've been walking for well for at least 10, maybe 15 minutes. and i was asking those who were with us special forces of the dentist people's republic. i see that and they're like, oh, got no miles this kilometers of you know, this tunnel going and sprouting across it all directions. just look up this, look about this is this was one of the ways that the youth. well, this is obviously used for ventilation, but again, you can kind of peak into what's above the ground into one of the warehouses of the as of self. see works is as we keep walking,

as we keep walking ahead his filmmaking. he's so becoming any better franklin, i mean, this is actually in it's an absolutely amazing and really easily get full said if you didn't bring a map over, this is the part of a tunnel that the as of seal fighters, the neo nazis and ukrainian regular soldiers used to relax at what translates as relax, how they spell relax. you can see quite well vividly over here. i'm not going to comment as to what it is because well, if you know, you know, and if you don't, then probably you shouldn't. but yeah, this is the room where they used to, well, there's a lot of practices latency. there's even a couple of if it doesn't look fancy displacement, certainly like mom is an arm, a place that go in the vest doesn't leave anything to imagination this place. and

it's quite all the answers as to how the, as of the adult battalion was fighting and what it was consuming to keep up the marolla despite ukrainian chiefs laying down their arms. western media have betrayed the events more as an evacuation. you couldn't present those said the soldiers did follow cave's order to surrender to save their own lives. we discussed the latest developments in the war with independent german journalist and author, thomas roper, who has recently been in the dumbass. if occasion would mean that the ukrainian side, since buses, they're jumping to the buses and gone ukrainian control territory, this will be never changed, right? we have none. think we have a surrender and they're jumping into buses and going in prison and internet. so there is no, no discussion about the question, whether it's a surrender. the problem is that the west, once to look the things successful for you when i can say i was in the headquarters of as of right now several days ago in mcmurry opal. and i have seen all the attributes there. and this, if this is not near nancy,

i don't know what they were hitting the icons they were, but the books mind comes there are so many things which absolutely clear what they are the west. well, i think they will just tell it because you to deny it. well, you can pick it. i was in reopen and i had time to talk to people only already a month ago. so, and they just came out of the streets again. and i asked all the people to get an impression, and there are some things that can summarize. so the 1st thing is when i ask them of the behavior of soldiers, nobody complains about russian soldiers. i was, well, if somebody should say something, but no complaints confronted with russian soldiers, but many complaints of ukrainian soldiers. this was the general picture i got um and yes, people told me and i have this on video. they told me that they will help as of in the, in the house is right in the, in the, in the sellers why, of the, as for sitting upstairs and fighting. so they were you really human shields for the as if and they told me themselves and they weren't,

weren't allowed to leave. the sellers who tried was shot and i talked to a man who just just escaped and at the end of his condition. so these are things that are happening there, and the people tell you the far reaching effects of western sanctions on russia has now made it all the way to latin america. with russia, one of the world's largest fertilizer exporters, accounting for more than 4 percent of the global market. sanctions on exports are putting the whole region on the verge of an agricultural crisis. ortiz alix pinion reports from mexico. cylinder puzzles him, but last year i planted 3 hector's but this year only one year, due to rising prices for raw materials and especially due to the shortage of russian fertilizers caused by the imposed sanctions. sergio garcia has had to play less corn and tomatoes this year. over the past decade, mexico's agricultural sector has become more dependent on russian fertilizers, particularly urea. according to preliminary estimates, mexico needs about 6000000 tons of fertilizer this year, philip. without other school,

nissan is not getting these problems are not related to a long standing friendly partnership, but are explained by the difficulties in transporting goods on a global level, which arose primarily because of the situation with russia and ukraine. therefore, it's currently difficult to import fertilizers into mexico st. but i think that the growing crops with our fertilizer could be a real disaster from mexico and if the moment villas at the moment farmers are considering different options to get out of the situation. for example, it has been proposed to use other types of fertilizers or apply smaller amounts to reduce costs. sir ju garcia's buying less fertilizer, where he previously used 5 bags of fertilizer. now he only uses 3. length is unit normal month. i will try to grow crops. i can only hope that i will not lose the money i have invested. but i do not think that is possible. i think production volumes will decrease. illustrate my sinister meter is also a shortage of fertilizers in warehouses in general, 20 per cent of farmers costco to fertilizers. but amid the shortage that figure has

risen to 50 percent according to forecast by the end of the spring summer cycle. farmers may lose part of their crops, in some cases up to 50 percent. lily bottom, ayana with the price may change from day to day, particularly thought any issues with the weather. as the saying goes, don't count your chickens before they hatch. oh. the mexican government has said it plans to triple fertilizer production to support the agricultural sector. like this so far, 740000 farmers and 9 mexican states have taken advantage of free fertilizers to feed their corn beans, wheat, and rice crops. at the problem is, there is not enough support for every one jeopardizing employment for hundreds of thousands of families. and driving of food prices, a major crisis is brewing and the yet that the go more, it would basically mean death. what would happen to the people, the whole country without agriculture, he, the trade turnover between mexico and russia may seem insignificant in relation to

other countries. but as we see, it is of strategic importance is that he does you, this situation will really harm our economic relations and trade turnover, which has been on the rise. of course, it must be taken into account that due to the conflict and ukraine and the sanctions imposed against russia, this growth will stop and the trade turnover will decrease economic sanctions against russia, imposed over the conflict in ukraine or having macroeconomic consequences. a mexican farmers are already feeling their impact within just a few weeks time. one of them alex pinion party. mexico city, serving presidents has warned that the impacts of the war ukraine could leave a course of the world on the verge of famine. if something does not change in the conflict in eastern europe, almost a quarter of the world will be in need of basic quantities of food, which will create new problems. earlier, the un secretary general, antonio terrorist singled out russia, accusing it of undefined. the facts is causing global hunger and the urine isn't

alone in blaming the war for soaring prices. the bank of england, which is currently battling with the highest inflation in the u. k. for 3 decades. one that apocalyptic food prices could have a disastrous impact on the world's poor, and over in the us, consumer prices have risen to a new 40 year high with president biden. blaming the russian offensive for this. russia and ukraine have long been significant suppliers of grain to the global market. combined. the 2 countries supply the world with almost a 3rd of all traded wheat and barley, and more than 75 percent of some flow oil. meanwhile, russia has blamed sanctions for supply chain disruption. i think it's ready to fulfill its trading obligations if its global partners assist. americans and europeans after all, will not remain without food, even at exorbitant prices. moreover, it is ordinary europeans who will pay these prices and not those in power. our country is ready to comply with its obligations in full. but we also expect

assistance from trading partners, including those on international platforms. it is a logical they impose sanctions against us and yet they demand food supplies. that is not happening. we are not idiots. earlier my colleague nikki, are and discussed the skyrocketing prices and the west, singling out russia for this, with a puddle of our guests. the you and chief antonia terrace, as we heard and said that rushes actions in ukraine have worse and global food shortages. do you think it's fair to single out russia for the food crisis? absolutely not. any. somebody used to be seeing the dog if you, if you are good, if you do so far as the war has caused any destruction, and it's certainly test. the fact of the matter is if the united states actually refusal to take into account russia, security concerns that has led to the present situation. so in, in i have argued many times that in fact, the current war should not be seen as

a war being waged by russia against you grange, but part of a much longer wall of the united states against russia, which currently takes the form of a war over ukraine, officials from k of and you are the kids to actually have trying to destroy ukraine's agriculture sector in an effort to limit his export earnings and, but the hurt is more ravaged economy. and if i really say a tactic that russia might employ, anybody know, slightly hypocritical, there's european countries on the west, still supplying weapons to ukraine and prolong getting his conflicts in and further destroying the economy from a military perspective that's it's false because we know that the russian army and has been taking her to your attention not to damage a lot of the fields where all the wheat is being the road today. and that is it because particular attention. so that's not true for military perspective. there pinpointing russia again because they're looking for a scapegoat, because that because of their own mismanagement,

to try to kill the baker and other ask them for bread this they had to think about this before apply applying sanctions. definitely ukraine is do exporting some of it . so some of these we've seen truckloads that we're going out of the ukraine from the, from the west. of course the situation is complicated. of course, it's difficult which cannot apply sanctions on a country and then acute that country, according this week, this is the west wanted to had thought about this before. we would not be in this a situation rather than giving $40000000000.00 us dollars. joe biden, giving $40000000000.00 to ukraine with arms. and then the at the same time that we may be may be baking when the biggest and the fruit shortages of our time of our modern time is totally crazy. it's hypocritical. know $40000000000.00 will vote for america. the defense industry will lock up the you put in for fighting. so yes. so they are feeding their order enough. be on the other side. net routing,

their own water and us be on site for the work. they're doing $1000000000.00 vote for subsidy. now this is really funny to look at it so, so it, i think we have to understand the reality that there are many people in this world . those who feel that this year and what is it proper for them? the main thing they care about is the profit and the privilege of a tiny capitalist. european political policy has been centralized. it is not logical people who are deciding what which french are farmers should be selling to the west to the east are disconnected with what is happening and really in the, in the part of their technocrats. they're very far from of the real life farming. they want this war to you. it is important for the european leaders because they will be the facing heat of all this conflict short to get up and find out a solution because as a lawyer i can see their end of their date. every solution only comes back to their

table of negotiation, not in water field or not in conflict. so when to be no sooner or later, we have to be on the discussion day. but why not? we start now why we are delaying it. come in the program, molly's foreign minister claims more people die through starvation than terrorism. that's the questions, the crippling sanctions against russia and the impacts they'll have on the global food supply will have the story in full lights. this. our sanctions on russia are also being felt across europe. on the u. s. were inflation is running rampant. ortiz roman costs or has been digging deeper into that issue. unprecedented anti kremlin sanctions were meant to destroy the russian economy, at least according to those who implemented them. what we're seeing instead is russian export profits at an old time high, and the rubel becoming the world's best performing currency. all this, while many regular citizens in the european union and the united states are being

financially squeezed by spiraling inflation in the united kingdom. due to a 40 year high price bike, some people are facing at soft choice bay for food or for heating their home. we will see that you people are coming even the people in the jobs. people are still working and working full time and they still need to use a food banks because of the cost of living. i would say because everything has gone up v v, finding it difficult to buy a stuff because everything we don't have much relation to quote for the demand we used to have about 250 people now is grown up to a $400.00 families. we give our token up to 400, you know, either of them either out of the food or to the queue. financial expert say the leaders in you inflation rates are baltic and eastern european countries. as sonia is, it's helping the chart with a whopping 19 percent bulgaria, the chuck republic and romania are hovering around. 14 percent lat being bullied

are both at around. 13 gary and prime minister leaks or orbit has echoed those who have attributed the suffering of regular people to the ant your russian sanctions. he's also said that the consequences could be a lot worse. all sorts of ill conceived measures, sanctions against russia that destroy hungarian agriculture are equivalent to an atomic bomb across the atlantic. americans are also bracing for difficult times ahead, due to 40 year high inflation, the usa where most citizens cannot even imagine their lives without a car is undergoing someone of a shock due to skyrocketing fuel prices. look at those prices behind me. that is not a joke. that is the actual gas prices now over $7.00 per gallon, a gas we are being pumped from behind from 30 biden gas right now. look at that is not a joke. people that is your actual gas prices of to day widen. inflation wears all

that money going to you credit for hush, money for hunter. so who is winning the sanctions? war more e u countries are folding, some moscow's demands to pay for its resources in rubles, almost every thing that russia exports around the world has become a lot more expensive. and those exports that are waived by europe. the u. k. or the united states are being welcomed with open arms at asian markets and boosting the continents economies. finland's decision to join nato is both well thought out unprepared. thus, according to the european commission offense, national partnerships he wanted the nordic nation had never been neutral and had been integrating with the west for years. meanwhile, a former us ambassador to russia claims ukraine was miss led to believe it will be allowed to join the military alliance. in 2021, we kept reiterating that ukraine was going to join. we kept saying that so our

diplomats are lying yes or so? yes, that's the real world. yes i but you can in real neural when say our diplomats are lying all the time yet the russians should trust them when they offer assurances. but at the same time, finland faces some opposition at home. so it's been a joy, nate, so the chairman of the association of independent journalists, you, her cocaine and burn the nate. so flag rights in the sense of helsinki. he claims a number of people in the country are against the block. but i. e, lisa durable is what the swarm will nato will not increase phelan security. there are many people in finland who are against nato, especially because the block is increasing tensions with russia. we have a shirt long border of 1300 kilometers on the shins of learn to live in harmony with russia here for 80 years and do not want any tension. we don't know exactly how many friends are against during nato now, but before there were 60 or even 70 percent of the population. therefore,

the fins have taken a civil initiative on a referendum in record time. and this initiative was received the necessary 50000 votes. however, the parliament has still refused to take this into account, which is unprecedented. this referendum of the finished people was ignored for political reasons, to finish politicians just wanted everything to be passed very quickly. finland and sweden's beds for nato membership have been almost universally welcomed by existing nato states. but turkey has expressed opposition, claiming both countries harboured terrorist groups. krisha also appears to be at loggerheads over the idea you, her corker and again, claims that finished people aren't allowed to say anything negative about the alliance they was on or they dallas or we live in finland that an unprecedented time debates and feminine than in the media and now completely under the control of nato. the finish media is completely one sided about nato, but in fact, the more serious problem in finland, his social networks were if you say something against nato,

you will immediately be called an agent of a foreign government. that is, in this case, a russian agent. people are intimidated at work even found and yell that and social networks are not allowed to speak out against nato, or simply express their own opinions. my generation has never witnessed something like this. when people are being completely gagged and this is just sad, in my opinion, this is absolutely killing the conversation on social networks, but by burning the nato flag, i wanted to show that finland still dares to express its own opinion, even if they are trying to silence it in every possible way it could take you grain 15 to 20 years to join the you. thus, according to a french government minister, germany chancellor also express uncertainty about key of swift a session to the block the they not unpacked with the door. ukraine has applied to become a member of the european union, and the commission is expected to give it to assessment of the application before the european council at the end of june. at the same time,

we all know emanuel micron is right. when he points out that the assessment process is not a matter of few months or even a few years may minister. but even if we grant ukraine candidate status to morrow than the instruction is done. and i hope that we will quickly move to european union membership. however, we all know perfectly well with the process, allowing them to join would take several years in truth, probably several decades on. nevertheless, ukraine still says it wants to become part of the european community. moscow though, does oppose the move and says that ukraine should maintain a neutral status both when it comes to nato and the european union. basically compensates as on brick lawns, says some countries have been waiting for decades to join nato. any sure ukraine will never enter the alliance. you see there was educating the age of a fast track. but then of course, you see all these other candidates like being and all the macedonian, all these other countries, and about going to want to join. and i've been waiting for years and some countries

like cliche thing has been waiting 22 years to join the union before they are going to say, well, why don't you take so much for us? i mean, you see a bunch of these guarantees joining to you when they will speak to us, feed them and them of course you know that the, don't you, you means getting money from the you and also getting possibility for their workers to immigrate to the you have obviously doesn't what you can do into the european union because the different economy is different wages and everything and it would be used action from the population. i see nobody can journal you anytime soon. and finally, molly's foreign minister claims more people die from food shortages than from terrorism or security issues. that comments came during his talks with us and counselor said a lot of in moscow. the difference, discuss the food crisis and the impacts on the agricultural industry of the sanctions on russia. we spoke to the molly and foreign minister just after those

talks. aah! moses seymour festival. molly is a country under sanctions oppose. it's such a policy. such a policy is not a solution to day. there are a number of key areas, for example, the production of fertilizers which it necessary for food production. molly is an agricultural country. moreover, it's no secret that more people die from food shortages than from terrorism or insecurity. they fall even in the face of restrictive measures, imposed on a number of strategically important sectors such as wheat production. in all our countries, people eat bread and the current shortage of food on the market can lead to an increase of poverty levels, as well as tension in societies or whatever measures i. i think the international community should demonstrate common sense in applying these measures in such a way that it does not happen at the expense of the most vulnerable and poll groups of the population. poopy parmesan bazaar von?

no, we have a wonderful partnership with russia long term cooperation, which is only become stronger over the years. we have close cooperation in the field of security and information. and we expect our cooperation will be the same in political terms and on the international arena. we also want to lady economic foundations help this cooperation is necessary to increase the traits on over between the countries. and this is the purpose of our visit to moscow. b. ah, i took a puddle across pacific through my li, molly caught the largest volume of cotton production this year. more than 700000 tons. thanks to which the country now ranked 1st in colton production on the african continent. and this is with no mentioning of serials and other crops that we grow, we believe that if agricultural fertilizers are available to us on adequate times and we can produce enough for the needs of our own population. if he look at the situation this way, we can talk about assistance, for example, in the field of fertilizes or wait. if there are any concessions in this area,

i think it will help soften the blow. it's always necessary to think about the consequences about how these actions will affect people. example, feel free to head over to r t dot com for more stories, an in depth analysis. my name is peter scott and thank you for watching. ah, ah, ah . oh, when i was showing wrong when old free, just don't hold any rules yet to see how'd this be coming to an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds

apart, we choose to look for common ground. who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. and number those constantly growing. i figure which of the problem was to call sure, as we speak on the bill in your senior, mostly mine the will ship. we're banding all in ports of russian oil and gas, new g. i g with the look i can get away. but if you haven't got joe by imposing these sanctions on russia, you know, has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang.

ah, north atlantic alliance recognizance aircraft wolf shipped, cruising close to russia's borders, have become commonplace ah, along with military hardware redeployment and large scale exercises. nato has also developed its offensive capability near the russian borders. ah. every year a russian backed resolution is submitted to the un against the glorification of not system the outcome is always the same, few estimates against it. and in recent years with ukrainian backing with typically

the u obtains. ah, but with most countries voting in favor, the document is accepted. but it's only advisory lou meter causing a writer in history professor with the american university in washington summarizes the usa official position. united states says that we're not going to prevent freedom of speech. united states as that even neo nazis have the right to speak and to assemble the german journalist and filmmaker mark, but all my sees the ukrainian and u. s. positions differently. that heard me. i'm like on a knee. my knee does torn. he's of a phone, a name, or game car, you know sean garnish via the building damage for all time vasey zips tune.
