a with phase russian lead force is of claim control over 220 localities with the important korean army strong whole of trust me. the latest artie talks to locals on the outskirts of a city under cultural shetland. today, instead of going to the celebration of the end of the school year with white bows and address uniform, she is sitting here and she is only in the 1st grade. with insiders report, washington is changing. it sounds like i'm trying to distance itself from the conflict of public interest with,

from being held to being homeless. ukrainian refugees are facing eviction and a cut and benefits of europe grows increasingly, concerns of the price such help comes with on china that uses the u. s of profiting from the ukranian crisis, stating against the e. u. carrying the burden of washington's decision with live for international new center in russia's capital city. this is our t pleasure to have you with us today. my name is una new russian and allied forces have either taken or re taken control of over 220 localities in the ukraine conflict since february. that is, according to russia's multi, the latest is the trustingly man located in the north of the done yet,

ste region. it had long been one of the key fortified areas under ukrainian rule than the don boss. region. russian troops 1st entered the city on may 23rd, with kia forces withdrawing to the south west without a pitch buffle or corresponding roman crosstrek, visited the outskirts of the city of dun yeske locals. there told them life in the area had become unbearable since 2014, when a qu, the posed the ukranian government. ah queerness city of yes for nevada at the moment, as you can see, as you can probably hear, showing continues, we are in a heavy, depopulated a residential area. and every single building here had been damaged by ukrainian shilling. i just spoke with a woman who lives here with her, her 2 daughters and she said of after hide and bomb shelters, almost on

a daily basis. and this is her story. yes, okra we were in the basement this morning. then we went home. it seemed that everything had quiet and down we had to eat anyway. and then we heard rocket artillery and ran back here again. this, i'm glad i kept a bit since infest took. they want to destroy all the infrastructure. i have to stay at home. i'm registered at work, but i don't go there. you go to the come on in. in 2014, we had the basement more equipped than we hastily removed everything. why did we do this? so he will do. he has to 1000 was being give to day. instead of going to the celebration of the end of the school year with white bows and in a dress uniform. she is sitting here and she is only in the 1st grade. ah, the city of yes,

nevada had been under constant shilling by ukrainian military over the last 8 years or so. but according to the mayor of the cities melisha jenko. in the last 3 months, the shelling had intensified at 2 o 2 a great extent and it resulted in a death some at least a 20 people and 50 residents of his nevada had been wounded up soon but was a shelling does not stop at all day and night the city is constantly being shelled by the ukrainian side, but nevertheless, the city continues to live over the last 3 months of the act of phase. they've destroyed more than 1000 objects. this area offer yes in nevada is also under constant shilling. ah, here we don't see many residential buildings but so we see our private houses just like this one. this one. this one in particular was destroyed by a ukranian shelling about a week ago. and we can still find her shell fragments just like this. and they are

all over the place according to the neighbors. this house belongs to an elderly couple who dont usually live here, but they arrived here on that they to pick up certain documents and they take it back to deeper within that the next peoples republic territory. unfortunately, once they arrive here, the shedding commenced, and there were both heavily wounded. ah, the cranium military seems to be targeting civilian infrastructure here nissan of us. it will along the entire front line as well. ah, at the moment i'm approaching a children's hospital, which was a bombed just her recently. as you can hear, shelling is still taking place. this is a children's hospital. obviously it's out of commission right now. it's very,

very difficult to say why the crane, the military is targeting civilian infrastructure, people's homes, ah, gas pipelines, ah, water pumping stations, children's hospitals. when i spoke to the mayor of the city, well, he suggested that they're trying to create a panic that trying to terrorize the people so so that they would evacuate from here soon as possible. however, he told me that sir, only about 30 percent of the city have evacuated, and the rest decided to remain here until he ends or until victory comes remark offer. if archie, yes and other than as people's republic or british journalists, steve sweeney recently visited ukraine and says he faced their rest as well as alleged death threats when reporting from a city in the countries west. he shared history with us earlier. i thought it's

important to go, i'm actually inside you crate and to try and get to the truth about what's happening there. because as your viewers and yourself will be where the, where the british media reporting is now incredibly restricted. so you have the times, the telegraph, guardian, the b, b, c, channel falls, guy, news, all really were producing identical reports from kevin, from live, but don't deviate a tool from the, from, from the government buying from the nato line on, on what's happening. so i thought was a journalist really is mine, my job, my duty is to report the truth, the truth, the truth matters. so that was why i thought it was important to get in a report on the ground. and there was a number of stories really, i wanted to check out my child in to live in western ukraine. i traveled in from, from poland, where the 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. and i was opposite and 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 needed to know before i even entered and, and the city itself was. 2 essentially full of fascists and mercenaries, people in the military fatigues using civilian transport networks to enter into you crate and whether any checks on those people are getting in any question as to where they were going, etc. i mean these, these people, this is the, i'm and a read is that the people the, the address, the military fatigues and then coming to fight on the ukrainian side are welcomed with open arms. that they rolled the red car on the back and own treated as is

hero and nazi harmony. i went in on with a pendant camera and i what happened to me was very stark contrast. i mean, if i had gone in with it, but it sheet for 2 weeks and a gun, i said i'm going to kill russians then i would have been very made very welcome. instead, what happened to me was, i was told that, you know, aust quizzed about my business in ukraine. told i was a spy, told i would be tortured to, i rested in, tortured the indication was possibly worse than that. which means that they would have potentially killed me, great effort being made to whitewash this will rehabilitate the the as office either like having no influence in ukraine or you know, all being just simply misunderstood masters. i deconstructed this and the b b. c showed or i could only describe as

a 9 minute master classic fascism design. denial, the russian foreign minister has accused the west of waging a proxy war against russia. that's him. it reports the biden administration is preparing to send long range missile systems to give to regular rough told r t. that's such a sample. rush it up already soaring tensions in europe. zip. you're the west is cool to inflict, to military defeats from russia. they need to pump weapons and to ukraine, including those that can hit russian territory president. so lensky has publicly requested such weapons. we have strongly warned the west against providing them. it is effectively waging a proxy war against russia using hands bodies and minds of ukrainian near nazis. but long range weapons would drastically escalate the conflict. and i sincerely hope that the fee reasonable people in the west understand that yes, some interesting points raised in that set down. you can watch the full interview with russian foreign minister, circular for off on r t international later today. now the u. s. defense secretary has reiterated that

america is came to avoid a direct confrontation in ukraine, seeing that key of birth, the brunt of the responsibility to resolve the conflict. this was 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 about the us lacked enough of its own weaponry to continue supplying ukraine for much longer. one retired army colonel saying that washington's plans have changed entirely, and they are not seeking to distance themselves from ki, of echoing their strategy. and if chemist 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 it. or let me stop you. what do you mean by ukraine? is stan, well, the idea that'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 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 has virtually disappearance. 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,

justine fighting and arguing the russians. that's completely gone by the leadership side. they're trying to figure out how to get themselves out of this now because this is blown up in their faces as well. the problem is they think they can solve meant and insurgents. i think those that have seized upon that as of it is the viable strategy or frankly deluding them right now the united states is that they embark on a on a war with rush. i don't think we need to sugar coated to try to pretend that it's something 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, up completely backfires because it's suffering shortages is the west of

suffering, the inflation. and it's the worst, it's going to be suffering high unemployment. a group of legal scholars on expert south accuse russia of breaching a un convention on the incitement of genocide. they claim it's an independent analysis. the 1st on such accusations, since the ukraine conflict began to discuss the allegations i'm joined by our senior correspondent morale guys div. hi them, rob. just firstly, what do we know about the researchers, the group about the report together? well, they claim to be entirely independent. they say that all of their financing comes from within the united states, but then you look at the roles list, the staff listed. most senior staff are well that they're, they're familiar crowd. there are all people who have worked for the united states state department for the pentagon, for the u. s. military, there people from stratford, which is known as the shadow, cia,

they're there from the atlantic council, which is rapidly anti anti russian. i think tag, which for years has called for, for more and more hawkish behavior by the united states and its allies against russia. nevertheless, the news lives institute doesn't, doesn't make any secret of what its mission is and that is the fashion and to enhance u. s. foreign policy our purpose is to shape u. s. foreign policy based on a deep understanding of regional g. i politics and the value systems of those regions. given their mission statement, given the fact that they are related to the fairfax university, which has been a, you know, in the, in a scandal because of lacks education standards that had almost had its license revoked. and given the people that they've hired and whose views coincide almost

entirely with the u. s. department, there are serious questions about any sort of claims of independence. will the claims themselves or perhaps the worst? the nation can be accused of murat, what's been alleged her while they're there alleging that russia and this is the there words in that, marcia could reasonably be accused of genocide of all intent to commit genocide. now though they may call all sorts of arguments which are entirely based on new credit for the view and what ukrainian officials and ukrainian media, both of which are in war propaganda. mood of said, citing examples of various, as they say, atrocities carried out by, by russian troops. that there was no sort of any effort to verify the thing, no sort of effort to, to check whether this actually happened or whether this is just as it seems. entirely war propaganda from ukrainian pundit, anonymous witnesses and the likes. it would be interesting if for this report had

mentioned the sorts of things that ukrainian officials have said. the report reasonably conclude, said russia is responsible for direct and public incitement to commit genocide and a pattern of atrocities from which i intend to destroy the ukrainian national grape . and park can be and fat if they had been investigating ukraine's intent to commit genocide against russia. they would, i guarantee you have had a much more solid case because what their case rests on here is by accusing rush of the intent to commit genocide. they say their facts and prove to back this up is that led me a putin. and several russian officials have over the years, said that ukraine and russia, a brotherly nations, that they are one people. and, you know, in this is a stretch of facts, a stretcher, and exercise,

you know, in self deception. to claim that because russia says that you crate and russia, ukrainians and russians are one people, it means that martians want to erase ukrainian culture. the ukrainian identity, which couldn't be further from the truth. look at what's happening in territories liberated by russian forces have son of roger regions. 2 of ukraine's regions where schools have reopened, where education is in ukrainian, and in russian. yay. where where ukrainians are allowed to speak? the language is far removed from what you crave. wanted to do with that is a band the russian language, which is already done on the, on the government and education level. so kids are, aren't allowed that you can't even call an ambulance and you create a country where half the population speaks russian. you're not allowed to call an ambulance in russia, you have to speak ukrainian. the last you, again begin to speak ukrainian, well, but, but, but more than that, there's this, this culture of self self deception amid these,

these thing tags that it of russia is trying to do things that ukraine has already done years ago. and that means that marshall wants to commit genocide just to stick, listen to what you created. t v. personalities and pundits have also been said. i want the word russians to be forgotten in the carcass region. i want the word russians to be forgotten in the loo. hans can donate sick regions. we have a full moral right to kill these non humans all over the world, calmly and with a completely clear mind over an unlimited amount of time. and in the largest possible quantities. there's a plethora of disinformation and miss made that misstatement. the facts in this report, basic basic fact. and the end result is that the united states they've the bottom than us media can. and again, wave about a short he report the twists absolutely everything it can twist to accuse russia of a genocide based on the testimony of ukrainian officials,

the lions shore, decoy nights i hope that the russian nation will not remain on this earth. listen, i have always been a great humanist and said that as soon as a person is injured, he is no longer an enemy, but a patient. but now there is a very strict order to castrate all men because they are cockroaches not people. ra, thanks very much for taking us through all of our very interesting developments, i'm sure at our next guest will agree as well because we're going to get into at that with former senior security policy analyst in the office of the u. s. secretary of defense, michael maloof. mike a welcome to the program. do you believe in the self proclaimed impartiality of this report by the new lines institute? i think it's a total exaggeration. the when you consider who some of the think tanks were like the reason though, foundation for example, they're always trying to equate hostilities and violence of war with what happened

during the holocaust. and that indeed was a true genocide effort by, by nazi germany. and i think it was a, it's curious that the allegations that they are saying against russians they're, they're perpetrating themselves from the ukrainian side in the eastern portion of, of ukraine, namely hitting infrastructure. and given the comments that were just made, i don't take, it's a genocide at all. it is the fog of war, and it is war. and it's, you don't have what you had in the rwanda situation, where there was a concerted effort by one tribe to eliminate and annihilate every member of another tribe. you just don't have that here. so i think it's gross exaggeration. it is a narrative that they're trying to push and it doesn't,

it still does not fulfill the very definition of what is regarded as genocide under the geneva conventions. in spite of the fact that many, many lives have been lost and civilians are being, are being killed. and that's the unfortunate part of all this. and it's, it is a tragedy period on both sides. and just to point out as well, we know new lines institutes and others involved in the report. they have ties with the u. s. the canadian government. and that's clearer, to what extent does it affect the impartiality of the report? well, i think change that right from the right from the very start, they are near cons. they are, they have a, a narrative, an idea and ideology and audiological approach. they want to eliminate they want, they want regime change in russia itself. and it's clear that this is what they're hoping to achieve. and we have mass propaganda underway here. and people really

have to be very, very careful and way in the facts. and that is what rather than judge this emotionally, again, people are being killed. but it's not genocide. as these think tanks want to portray it as and they're performing actually a very grave disservice in portraying as such. there are numerous examples of ukrainians calling for genocides on the murder of all russians. we've just been going through with our correspond while the report michael accuses rush of doing that very thing. why is the west turning a blind di or this report i should say to, to calls for a trust these made by the ukraine inside at the very, at the very least i would have expected to have been talked about. as you can see, we just lost, i guess we'll try and reconnect. hi there michael, you can hear me. we'll probably see you in just

a 2nd. yeah. that kind of disparity between what ukraine has been doing as we show the examples on what russia is accused of. why that bias. it's a narrative it's, it's a, it's selective facts. selective fact. they're trying to get a get across a point of view in order to win public and sway public opinion. but it's, it is, again, we're in the fog of war and, and these kinds of activities are going on in all over the place there. it's the east, the west, and it's and again, it's not reached the level of genocide as the, as defined by the geneva conventions, no matter how they try to portray it. and i think that they and, and when you consider who's backing these types of so called independent reports, it raises very serious suspicions as your, of course, on the pointed out and,

and i would look upon it with a, with a, with, with, with, with a lot of caveats as a consequence of that. and again, it's, it's, it's a piece of information. you take that. and as an observer you have to weigh the facts. and you have to look at the facts on the ground. and you don't see concentration camps. people been lined up exterminated an ovens and like what we sell during war 2. we don't. that is not that does not exist here, but it's, there has been there have been some atrocities. now i don't dismiss that at all. and those are being looked at. and i think that they have to be examined, but, but due to call this wholesale, genocide is, is really a stretch. michael, as always, thank you for your time, your thoughts as well mike, i'm a lu, former senior us security policy analyst.

now the video has emerged showing refugees purportedly ukrainians will show the video in just a moment, allegedly being evicted from a hotel in spain, and it comes in mid plains of european countries, suspending aid programs due to rising cost. my name is sandra ramos has his own case. well, a need price is soaring across the continent. european countries appear to be recognizing that hosting so many refugees doesn't come cheap. our team don't quarter has been examining changing attitudes to that regard. in the 6600000 ukrainians have 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 of hosting 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 spend 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 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 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 fonts are definitely not sufficient. what worries me

the most are our electricity bills that i suspect will knock us over. our town can definitely not be this costs. the sums i mentioned are 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 with, with it's not as poland making cuts though 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 lot via

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 don't know what you're thinking. they weren't really

consulted. that's an awful lot of people. and they all have to be paid for. they will have to be looked after. they have to be housed, they have to be provided with jobs or with welfare payments. you're doesn't have that kind of money. i'm a germany who doesn't have that money. that's on top of all the other economic problems or, you know, storing food prices, storing energy prices. so where's this money going to come from to pay for these ukranian? they'll no doubt the pressure of way food the u. s. is profiting from the struggles of ukraine while european countries are carrying the burden. so say the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson? overwhelmed pul, since the outbreak of the russia ukraine conflict, europe has been bearing the cost economically, politically and socially. but the u. s. has been reaping the benefits us arms dealers have been celebrating with champagne and the u. s. grain and energy industries have made a fortune well this.
