ah ah rushes military have claim control of over $220.00 localities since the beginning of the ukraine conflict, according to the countries m. o t. the latest is crossing the li month, a former stronghold of kiev forces in the dumbass region ortiz eager to shut down a phase on the front lines. they're on the wall. patriotic slogans, which very quickly turn into something very different. if you can see that the slogans over there, the quickly make way to nazi symbols and an homage to the legacy of the nazi germany. also i had on the program, insiders report washington. it's changing. it's found some key. i'm trying to

distance itself from the conflict of public interest. wayne's also with . ringback from being help to being homeless, ukrainian refugees are facing eviction, and a cut and benefit says europe close increasingly concerned at the price. such l comes up and china i choose as the us of profiting from the ukranian crisis, stating it's the you carrying the burden of faith consequences with wherever you're catching the program from today. welcome to moscow on to the global news update on our t internet with you this. our russian and allied forces have reclaimed control of over 220 localities in the ukraine conflict that number confirmed by russia's m o.

d. earlier, the latest is the ton of crusty lemon located in the north of the done yet ste region. it had long been one of the key fortified areas under ukrainian rule. in the dawn valley region. russian troops 1st entered the city on may 23rd with key of forces withdrawing to the sy, fi west without a pitched battle. a top key advisors says that the fall of li man shows the proficiency of russian commanders. when you put it in, one was that according to unverified data, we have lost the city of leman is the russian army. it needs to be checked, has taken it under control, that at the same time, the way it was taken shows that there are very talented commanders there who organized the operation correctly. and this shows, in principle, the increased operational management and tactical skill of the russian army. well, another note said ball success for russian troops is the capture of spect low darcy,

which nigh brings advancing forces closer to encircling the ukrainian military and that dunbar pocket. the city host to one of the largest thermal power plants in europe is fully under the control of that. and that's for me. we got reaction 2 developments there from locals. richard to it's better that you're here. it's already wonderful. for a yes, constant shelling was allowed. shootings happen near the school. thank you for coming. not only am i grateful, there are more than 90 percent of such people here. i believe for you this i'm so happy i could cry honesty. will you leave us? no, of course not. no, no, don't abandon us is quite for now what is it? it seems, everything come down. let's hope that it will be even calmer. like when the front shifts a little further, further away to hearken. and as troops push the front line east, the main challenge for the reclaimed territories is restoring some sense of peaceful life there. of course, also the head of the done yes. republic says another issue for the embattled area is filtering p. o w 's. i'm preparing tribunals for those suspected of war crimes,

social skills on to bring in the for, in the me. the crimes of the as of regiment are shocking. they can be explained using the logic of a same person. crimes haven't only been committed by his members alone. the ukrainian army have also been involved. unfortunately, we have evidence of regular soldiers conducting horrifying crimes, rapes torture and sadistic murders. some of them even more horrifying than the crimes of bizarre. you'll see all this evidence during the tribunals. this will all be described and i believe that every crime should be punished appropriately. but are eager shall f, as in spec, darr's can, has been exploring the former positions hell by key of forces who use civilian apartments, shelters clustering, some with nazi symbols. this place is where ukraine's artillery spouses were stationed. traditionally, they've set up their base, set up their camp on the top floor of an apartment building. this is

a flat on this building is home to dozens of families who have been living and are still here right now. so they have a small kitchen over there. the other it is, then there's ukrainian flags and something resembling letters from home that used to be on the wool. this is what you have here. and if we move down this corridor we get in there. well, layer, this is where they've slept, a makeshift well bunk bed. and here on this little balcony of ukrainian spotters used to oversee the russian and the pupils, people's militia positions here. they, they, they have a good degree of comfort here. this is where their equipment was, as they were watching the well, our positions watching russian positions and well making corrections to their own artillery fire. and here's another interesting find in the room over here on the

wall. it's their notes apart from the wifi password. there's also a code word, each color of a signal. rocket means like for example, it's as green means the offensive red means retreat. and here is the list of their enemies. you know, people's militia, they know their code names and they know which weapon every unit normal uses. like for example, here it says don bass, someone's code name, a 120 millimeter mortar. and so now i'm going to show you where the ukranian forces retreated to. this is yet another former base camp of their spotters. but if you look further in the distance, and if you may be, squint your eyes, you can see smoke on the horizon. and this is the smoke from the shelves that launched by the artillery harvey of the lo ganske people's militia. so right now,

this is the front line and this is where their artillery positions are right now. and they are responding with fire as well. this is one of the positions that a ukrainian knew, not a unit abandoned has. all of them were retreating down that way. beyond the city of smitley dusk, you can have a look yourself at the fortifications. by the way, over here you can see a crater from one of the bombs or shells fired. and well, this is a good head by the people's militia, by the longest people's militia and the russian forces over here. there's another fortification, a very safe place for them to hide and look at the amounts of well, wood and dirt, protecting them from any impact. this is where this particular unit slept. notice how much concrete as around here, even ventilation. so everything for maximum safety on the wall, patriotic slogans,

which very quickly turn into something very different if we just walk out of this place and check out the door and see that the slogans over there, the quickly make way to nazi symbols and an homage to the legacy of the nazi germany. well, let's cross live now to british. surely. steve sweeney international editor of the morning star newspaper, who recently travel to as you can, we do hear of such journeys, but just to talk to you directly by thought, steve, what made you take such a trip? where you, there is a journalist, the private citizen, tell us more. well, i was there was a journalist and i thought it was important to go. i'm actually inside you cried and to try and get to the truth about what's happening there. because as your viewers and your cell will be what to where the british media reporting is now incredibly restricted. so you have the times, the telegraph, the guardian, the b,

b, c channel for guy, news, or really were producing identical reports from kevin, from live. but don't deviate a tool from the, from, from the government. i'm from the data line on, on what's happening. so i thought was a journey. this really is my, my job. my duty is to report the truth, the truth, the truth matters. and what i do know when i was aware of the risks of entering entering you credit isn't as an independent journalist because we do know that those that get close to the truth reporting the truth. john is like patrick lancaster and the canadian journalist eva i've been subjected to death threats. eva said she was being placed on a government killed list. i reported to in the morning star early this week of the brown this which is an online web page where people can,

are encouraged to inform those that need to be pro russian. this could be anybody, but the list is one of journalist academics, communists, activists. and, you know, people are doing to be undesirable, so to speak. so that was why i thought it was important to get in their report on the ground. and there was a number of stories ready the, i wanted to check out the for my, i'm where did you actually go and i was not experience getting in. the experience was i was not particularly no particular good one. i traveled in to live in western ukraine i traveled in from, from poland where, you know, that crossing is, is still open. and i have to say that the 1st thing that struck me really was on my coach on the way i was opposite a man with a tattoo of a gun on his face, dressed in fatigues. now, you know, we don't really judge by, we shouldn't really judge by appearances, but yeah,

i think that told me really everything that i needed it needed to know before i even entered and, and i didn't see again was a city that you know is portrayed in the west is untouched by the war, but in fact, is very much talk by the war. you know, the city itself was essentially full of facets and mercenaries, people in minot cheaper to using civilian transport networks to, to enter into cry. and here we know that there are weapons a, b, b improve in using those same kind of networks as well. i saw this with my, with my own eyes. i mean, i can confirm that this is actually happening. i'm whether any checks on those people are getting in any question as to where they were going, etc. does that mean these, these people, this is the, i'm and a read is that the people, the, the address, the ministry for teegan and then coming to fine on the ukrainian side. a welcome with open all that they wrote the red car on the back and own treated as

a hero. and i'm not the harmony i went in on with a pendant camera and you know, what happened to me was very stark contrast. i mean, if i got in with it for 2 years and a gun, i said, i'm going to kill russians then i would have been made very welcome. instead, what happened to me was, i was told that you asked quizzed about my business in ukraine. told i was a spy, told i would be tortured, arrested, and tortured. and the indication was possibly worse than that, which means that they would have potentially killed me. and this is all because they, they said that they will discover how you write what you write about about ukraine . and they said, we've already, we already know. and they highlighted some of my, some of my writing, which has been critical of and you know,

of ukraine and as actually highlighted the fact that the u t. m, the war is being 4, especially in the particularly leased by neo nazi battalions, the as or petroleum which in the west is a great effort being made to whitewash this will rehabilitate the as offers either like having no influence in ukraine or or, or being just simply misunderstood nationalist, i deconstructed this and the b b. c. showed what i could only describe as a 9 minute master classic fascism does a denial rock in a report. and you know, it kind of downplayed the influence of allows off. and i wrote an article called around for the as of which is a play on the 19th thirty's daily mile infamous headline harass for the black church in which they deployed the exact same arguments to downplay the seriousness

and the violence of the nazi regime. so, i mean is a very, very serious situation, because you're not only heard as a down playing the you know, the answer, but they're actually arming their, fronting them with, you know, this is the thing that they want. the most isn't a credibility and they're getting both from the west right now. and in terms of your detention, it seems like an obvious question, but i fear for where you all your life of your liberty at least well, i mean i, you know, as an international journalist i have been in and out of very difficult situations . i was joe mexico last year with the united states. i've been in prison cell with, with isis fighters in turkey. but this was different. and this was something far more sinister a far more serious and i was, i was, you know, for my life. i mean that's, that's the reality of the situation i had. they would have no qualms in killing me

. of course, i can foreign journalist before andrea bocelli, who's the italian photo. it was killed by the ukranian armed forces in, in, in 2014. and we only have to look out here, the kill list. i mentioned earlier that being told that they're not just inside ukraine. if you look at the case of anatoly chevy, the ukrainian opposition politician and opposition. journeys to earlier this month was detained in spain, in a sting operation with the, with the s b u, with ukrainian intelligence services. and this isn't a country where, you know, he, fred, i think in 2012, i forget the exact date, but he's been forced to introduce you. i knew now spain. so this goes to show really the dissidents and those that criticize ukrainian government aren't safe, even in countries where they, where they're seeking sanctuary or not. you know, maybe just to say, where are you, where are you aware when you were to take the actual scope of what was going to

happen? did they say where they were going to take you, how long you're going to be held at whether or not you had the right to access other parts of the country? how did that work with the authorities? well, they were, they were very casey, actually, it was, you know, what happened to me i, you know, i believe was, it wasn't an official approach. it would have been done in a timely it would be done in secret. i think i would have been taken off somewhere . i was going to do all the details, but i was very lucky. i'm on the escape and i managed to get back across the border with a group of refugees, and i made my way somehow, i made my way back to up to, to berlin in germany. and it was only once across the bordering to germany. i started to relax a little bit that train was actually. ready on the police boarded training as well a long ago that this happened. steve, is this recently very recent? yes. in the end of april, getting it nice. yeah. this was,

it was very recently and, you know, i, i think if i'd gone there a. 3 reporter for some b, b, c, or one of the mainstream news organizations. as long as i was repeating the accepted narrative, i would have been perfectly welcomed as i know, a d j. that's where the issue is. well, it sounds like an an extruding experience. we're all glad you are safe after that. and thanks for coming on the program, stevens sharing all your thoughts about that we do appreciate that steve sweeney international editor of the morning star newspaper. ah, no, the russian foreign minister has accused the west of waging a proxy war against russia. that's a mid report. the biden ministration is preparing to send long range missile systems. the kid circle of roth told our teeth, that such a step, a ratchet up, already soaring tensions in europe. look closer, the west is cool to inflict,

to military defeats from russia. they need to pump weapons in to ukraine, including those that can hit russian territory. president zalinski has publicly requested such weapons. we have strongly warned the west against providing than it is effectively waging a proxy war against russia using hands bodies and minds of ukrainian neo nazis. but long range weapons would drastically escalate the conflict. and i sincerely hope that the fi reasonable people in the west understand that the world yet was a wide ranging, chow thought. and you can watch the full interview with russian foreign minister, serial of rough on our team national a little later today. not the u. s. defense secretary has reiterated that america is keen to avoid a direct confrontation in ukraine. seeing the key of burst the brunt of the responsibility to resolve the conflict. this is ukraine's right because not the united states fight. at the end of the day, i can know what,

what this looks like. what im state looks like will be defined by the ukrainians and not by us. in any case, some experts are worried that the u. s. lux, enough of its own weaponry to continue supplying ukraine for much longer. one retired army, colonel says that washington's plans have changed entirely. and they are not seeking to distance themselves from kia, echoing their strategy in afghanistan. now there talks about during western ukraine into quote unquote, ukraine a step to try and build an endless war that will go on and quote, unquote lead russia, which i see not happening. frankly, i don't, i don't think europeans will put up with it or let me stop you. what do you mean by ukraine is stan. well, the idea that it's been hatched over the pentagon and in the white house is, well, we'll just turn western ukraine into some version of afghanistan for the russians, so that they will end up in this endless guerrilla war. the former cia unless

laurie johnson speaking to r t earlier at believe just not that washington is trying to distance itself from the conflict in ukraine after he sees its proxy war with russia backfired. i was struck the other day. i was looking at different media sites trying to see whether there was intense coverage or not. and it is the story is virtually just here. they're focusing on other things and talking about ukraine. and part of the reason for that is that the war has gone badly for ukraine. russia's winning the story line, they tried to tell of the evil russians tearing up that country and brave ukrainian just in biting the conquering the russians. that's completely gone by the board leadership side. they're trying to figure out how to get themselves out of this. because this is blown up in their faces as well. the problem is, they think they can, so meant an insurgency. i think those that have seized upon that is that is the

viable strategy or frankly deluding the centers right now the united states is that they embark on on a war with rush. i don't think we need to sugar coated to try to pretend that it's something that they haven't barked on the war with russia, but they were hoping to get it done without getting into shooting. and now all of the tools that they thought they were going to use, particularly on the sanctions front, completely backfires because it's the west that's with suffering shortages. is the west, the suffering, the inflation. and it's the worst, it's going to be separate high unemployment. well that's as ukraine is calling for more money and weapons, claiming the support it's received so far is insufficient. archie, corresponding rich blevins as the story the u. s. has been the last few months signing off on one historic a package,

b crane after another with many of its allies doing the same to show their support . but he's training and officials are saying that all of that money and all of those weapons just aren't enough. and they're calling for the west to do even more . she will even just, it still takes time to discourage them from this ship. but we still need the help of partners, especially weapons for ukraine. total help, no exceptions, no restrictions but enough to win. those require haven't just been made and recorded addresses, but also in public speeches given by ukrainian officials to world leaders, including this week at the world economic forum, davos summit was not what we are on the european continent, and we need the support of the united europe and while those, your opinion leaders have also spoken out of this, i met and insisted that they are showing their support. ukraine continues to ask for more. civilized countries must be united with ukraine, not with their words, but with their deeds. so when will it be enough in just 5 months?

the west is pledge around 68000000 dollars in age ukraine, according to some estimates that's on top of the support. the west has been providing for ukraine's in the us supported qu, back in 2014. while ukraine does have anti corruption officials, they admit they have been forced to stop reporting on the countries practices after the government impose martial law earlier this year. i'm not saying there is no corruption in this uncertain situation. i'm sure there are people who want to profit from government procurement processes. so where is all of the money to put it into contacts the a is sent to all of the developing countries in the world in 2021 was $179000000000.00. so who was profiting from all of the funds? cent, ukraine. now in comparison the u. s. and the you can buying have been less than $5500000000.00 on a, for yemen in the last 7 years. despite the fact that the, in the country probably the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. which weapons

industries in the last have profited heavily from many countries around the world have been quick to call out the double standards. the west is now applying to ukraine, as it remains to be seen just how much more they will give. and if it will ever be considered enough in washington, rachel robins, archie video has emerged showing refugees allegedly being evicted from a hotel in spain. it comes amid claims of european countries, suspending a programs due to rising cost people who has had some will indeed made prices soaring across the continent as you will well know. european countries appear to be recognizing that hosting. so many refugees doesn't come cheap. our teeth don't quarter has been examining changing attitudes and the

you to that issue. 6.6000000 ukrainian fled their country and become refugees. as a result of the conflict, that's about 5 times more people than the last migrant crisis in europe and posting these people was expensive back then it's off the charts. now. the costs of providing for these refugees will strain countries, budgets, and not just in the short term integrating refugees into their economies will require large scale resources, time and supportive policies. in 2016 germany spent approximately $12000.00 euros per refugee per year. not including any language and cultural integration classes, support for ukrainian refugees could cost hosting states as much as $30000000000.00 over the next year. as if the you wasn't already dealing with supply chain issues in energy crisis record breaking inflation that into this already long list of economic woes is everything connected to hosting a sudden influx of millions of people. poland is been by far,

the hardest hit since it's accepted over 3000000 refugees. that kind of budgetary strain is making itself felt across small polish border towns. everything else we have so far paid from our modest crisis fund that is or rather was $22000.00. these funds are definitely not sufficient with voice me the most to our electricity bills that i suspect will knock a silver. our town can definitely not meet this costs. the sums i mentioned are a drop in the ocean. even warsaw is barely keeping up with its population surge of nearly 20 per cent since late february, it's mayor is already talking about relocations. we need a relocation scheme because we need to share the burden the ukrainians are fighting for our freedom. and we need to do our bid number of polish cities are trying to economize at least by ending free public transport rides for ukrainians. as one might imagine that hasn't gone down well with refugees. i with

with it's not just poland making cut. sto, bulgaria is having to cut refugee subsidies and relocate people ukrainians in the czech republic will soon have to find work or lose their government benefits. in lafayette, the authorities have stopped providing refugees with free food, and the netherlands is even having to force local councils to accept refugees since many are not willing. this is not one i wanted, but this is how it is. in the coming weeks, we are going to say to a number of local councils, you have a suitable building. the permits are in order. it is owned by the refugee settlement agency or the state. and so we are going to use it despite freeing up billions to try and tackle this newest refugee crisis. even brussels has admitted there's not enough money to go around. the 7 year budget that started in 2021 was made for peace. nobody envisaged, as we were negotiating that budget,

that there would be a war in europe. i think it is fair to say that the budget that we have now wasn't really made for the situation in which we find ourselves. considering experts are saying a global recession and a food crisis are also on the horizon. it looks like europe may be in for a tough couple of years. i didn't know what you were being so thinking they weren't really consulted. that's an awful lot of people. and they will have to be paid for, they will have to be looked after. they have to be how they have to be provided with jobs or with welfare payments. you're doesn't have that kind of money m a germany doesn't have that money. that's on top of all the other economic problems or, you know, storing food prices soaring energy prices. so where is this money going to come from to pay for these ukranian? they'll no doubt the pressure why food the u. s. is profiting from the struggles of ukraine, while the e. u is bearing the cost about, according to the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson. in the outbreak of the

rushing you brain conflict, europe has been bearing the cost economically, politically and socially. but the u. s. has been reaping the benefits u. s. arms dealers have been celebrating with champagne and the u. s. grain and energy industries have made a fortune. but for us, this is what the chinese are alluding to u. k. energy caps are expected to rise to record $2800.00 pounds in october with prices skyrocketing across the e. u, as well as those spikes are causing major problems. for the german car industry, disrupted supplies of ammonia grain, as well as sunflower oil shortages of parts of fertilizer and food prices. with many small businesses having to close, according to the washington post inflation and the west has reached the 40 your peak. political analysts, garlan nixon says that the u. s. isn't concerned with the sacrifices as long as it benefits what the europeans have understand is the ukraine crisis. bob sped up a dynamic that was inevitable in the same way that if

a person doesn't have food, if you start starving, your body will literally consume its own tissue to try to keep the organs in the heart and the main parts of the body alive. what's happening is, as russia and china provide viable alternatives for developing nations to, to, to trade with them, whether it's in bananas or uranium or coffee or whatever it is. it gets more difficult for the us empire to pray on these compet countries. and to have a high standard of living based on those predatory actions. so what it is done is turned in word and now it has to pray on the european union here in the united states. i mean, we have some level of, you know, we have increased gas prices, we have a increased inflation, but no more than what's going around the world. we probably have the norm that's going around the world as opposed to europe, which has dramatically larger problems. they're not as wealthy as the united states, they're not as economically stable and keep in mind.
