i think will this fuss around next, rom supplies. the crate has only one goal. that is to drag out the military conflict as long as possible in his 1st interview since the start of the conflict. but the main thing criticizes a huge amount of weapons being sent ukraine. thing russian forces are cracking them like not. this comes with more voices from the us call on, you have to make concessions to moscow as a retired us general, as ukraine, like the military capability, defeat russia. there is no way that the praying and whoever have enough combat power to keep the russians out of ukraine as well. and so what does that look like in the, in gay? on does incent, fighting continues in ukraine, r t follows russian forces using drones to locate an attack ukrainian position right now to command that would mean that the russian artillery will hit the

coordinates that they will provide them provide to those. well, behind the big guns, a just gone for a monday morning kind of new week he's getting on the way in moscow on is peter scott, i'm reaching it in from welcome to the news here on oxy rushes, foreign minister survey love, rob's planned trip to serbia, has been cancelled us is neighboring states bulgaria, north macedonia, a month and eager refused to let his plane fly through the rest space. the news came just hours before the scheduled a meeting between rushes, top diplomats on serving president alexander of your church in bel grade. the russian foreign minister has confirmed the closure saying it's another line of communication that has been cut off the soviet president is expected to address the matter later on monday, western arm supplies to ukraine are aimed at dragging out the conflicts. that's

what vladimir putin has said in his for his 1st full interview since the starts of russia's military offensive is also claimed that russian military was successfully neutralizing much of the advanced equipment sent to keith river. boston, chris was currently stuck with the deliveries of weapons from the u. s. and other countries are aimed at replacing cubes losses in military equipment. there's nothing new in this. it actually changes nothing. no unmanned aerial systems that actually perform stress can only be effective if there are no military air defense systems present. we do have them the book, the thought, the pansy on 3 streams effective. not that i want to offend anyone, but the systems are cracking these vehicles like not civil. dozens of them have already been destroyed him dozens. okay. i think all this fuss around x rom, supply c crane has only one goal. that is to drag out the military conflict as long as possible to understand with long range missiles are supplied. it will force us to make decisions and use our means of destruction, which we have enough of to conduct strikes of facilities that we haven't targeted

so far. or i can move in while the russian defense ministry has confirmed is forces of destroyed a number of tanks and other military equipments on the outskirts of kiev, those armaments were supplied to ukraine by eastern european countries. but the strikes targeted facilities in the done yes. republic, where ukrainian military equipment was said to be undergoing repair works. and this unverified footage from the ukrainian capital is the 4th to show explosions on sunday, according to the ukrainian presence of his railway facilities with targeted no casualties were forced calls for ukraine to return to the negotiation table are coming from top u. s. military figures. the former deputy commander of us, european command, said kit has no real prospect of defeating russia. i must talk with moscow if he doesn't want to incur for the losses. russia has a heck of a lot of combat are doing the ukrainians. and so there is no way that there were

ukrainians will ever destroy or defeat the russians. there is no way that the cranes will ever have enough combat power to the russians out of ukraine as well. and so what does that look like in the, in game, the more this war goes on, we never know if that's going to a way. and then they will lack the ability to go to the bargaining table at a position of strength and may lose more than they intended. while earlier former us secretary of state, henry kissinger said, the kid does need to make concessions to moscow in order to prevent a dia outcome for the conflicts. kissinger was laid out in the middle 40 of the websites, the cleaning database of people that are considered enemies of the states were from on the let's cross live now to form a pentagon security policy analyst, michael mal of michael. welcome to the international now versus presidents has

claimed that western weapons applied to ukraine will only drive out the conflicts. the western union says it wants to push a button and give you clean a stronger position at the negotiating table. what are your thoughts? well i think generally 20 is absolutely correct the as this war continues on it's, it's turning into a, into a slug fest m m m in which the ukrainians are losing dramatically even though the russians are 2. but the ukrainians have far fewer troops. and as it and as this said progresses the, it's going to work more and more to the advantage of the russians because of the fire power that they can bring bring in with from tanks artillery. and this means that the ukrainians over time are gonna be diminishing in, in terms of their capability that they, the problem is a said zalinski as stated that he is,

he wants to take back all the territory that was taken by the russians. well, they don't have the ability to do that. it's that pure and simple that the russians will defeat them. now, what the ukrainians have got to come to, to, to a conclusion on is, if, if they say, i can cut come to a certain point where they can see, in effect, call foresees fire and negotiate. at least they will still have forces to protect what's left of ukraine. otherwise it's gonna be diminished even further. because there's just so much that the u. s. and the allies can break up into that country without it being destroyed and has been destroyed increasingly. and you got to consider to that the western supply lines are limited. we don't have that kind of production underway right now to give them the, the give the ukrainians, what they are, what they require. and that's, and we're back filling the,

the nato allies. so at some point, both zalinski in the united states have got to sit down and have a talk, a real talk on just how far this is going to go. because soleski will not be able to take back all the territory. and the more that he commits troops and military logistics to fighting the russians, it will mean less and less that he's going to have to defend his own country or what's left of what he says. and it's a bit of a slot for us to start on for over a 100 days. now. how long do you think the west resolve in supporting ukraine will last? obviously, hundreds of billions of dollars of weapons have been pumped in. but many countries in the west and further field are facing crippling inflation and domestic problems . do you think there is always going to last? i do not. i think we're already seeing cracks in the, in the western resolves. we saw it from the very beginning, actually. it's the,

you're, the heart of the europeans heart was not in doing this, us push them into this, this position and with all the other outside pressures, economic and political it's, it's becoming increasingly difficult. and in europe is going to change. it's just gonna change it's, it's gotta find new, new sources of energy. and you've got winter coming up here, not too far away from now. and theirs, and their store houses and what have you are, are, are lacking. they, they, they don't have the resources to, to, to be prepared for this coming winter, for example. also they don't have the production capability underway. they might have the capability, but it takes time to get that up and switch your economy over. and that really costs money. it all of your economic planning from before just goes right out the window. and if inflation was, is high. now, just wait until we have to do go on a war footing. it's going to be,

it's going to be even worse. that's why the united states and the allies and zalinski need to sit down and say, what, what is the end game here we the, i have not heard that from the, by the ministration which is pushing this narrative. and as a consequence, it's going to make it more and more troubling for the us. certainly given it's inter, given it's internal problems, as well as europeans given their problems. and they, there's the resolve. it might be their emotionally. but practically, it's got, there's a limit and i think they're still going to realize that, well, indeed we did see that recently with germany, the promise those unsee ed defense systems, bone in full month's time because i don't think you had them in stock now talking about the weapons that are in ukraine at the moment, the western weapons that are there. do you think it should be more oversights over

how they are distributed and used? we recently heard from your report that issued a warning about them possibly ending up in the wrong hands. and i think we've already seen some of them already on the doc web. yeah, the u. s. is admitted. they don't know where the stuff is going. they have no clue, and in fact, some of those weapons could wind up in the hands of terrorists and, and thus this is one of the other considerations of i and concerns that i have. that because we have, we don't, al, we, frankly, i don't think we really know what's being actually delivered and how it's being used and what happens of that equipment and, and as long as you're streaming it in there's, there's no accountability for that. and it's just like every other war we've been engaged in the past. that stuff just winds up on the wrong hands inevitably. and i'm afraid that that's what's gonna happen here. and, and it's also going to be, it will,

it will come back to and we don't have enough of it. so this is the other consideration confuse me based upon ukraine's demands or needs for increased weapons. that's all he ever zelinski ever talks about. i need more weapons, more weapons. well, there's a limitation. so we've got to weigh all of these matters and in the us, especially because it's got other other problems. i mean, if we cannot even supply baby baby formula to americans, how are we going to keep up a supply train of weapons to, to zalinski indefinitely? it's just beyond me. well, michael muller, former pentagon security policy analysts, thank you very much for insights on the ongoing conflicts in ukraine. thank you. you, peter. ah, 5 civilians were killed in over 20 injured after massive shelling in the done yet. people's republic over the weekend, local officials claimed the attack was carried out by ukrainian forces. they say

gifts forces fired 40 missiles from grad multiple. mr. launches, give hasn't yet commented on the attack for schools under kindergarten. some extensive damage with broadcast in the region interrupted. meanwhile, russian troops continued to push ukrainian forces back using drones to locates and attack their positions, parties, english down of reports. so behind me, you can see the work of russian artillery spot has right now they have a drone up in the skies and they've already discovered some of the fresh ukrainian positions. they're watching them right now. we've seen the pictures. well, they are very clear and vivid. you can see people, you can see where they hook food. you can see their fox holes as well. right now they're anticipating a command that would mean that the russian artillery will ahead, the coordinates that they will provide them provide to those well, behind the big guns. so, and well potentially, we might see them hitting these positions. this is what we're waiting for right now

. i've talked to the people here, i've talked to will to our, to the soldiers, according to them, the ukranian forces are retreating. there will close to fleeing even were near the village of kamisha. ha, this is the front line and the russian and the forces of the law, ganske people's republic. they are pushing back the ukrainian forces, the ukrainian, neo nazis, et cetera. they are trying, they basically the thing is they don't have the positions to full to. we don't have back up positions on this well, on the, in this directions right now you can hear the artillery working so they don't have the positions to retreat to. so they have to dig up the trenches very quickly. if they want to stay, they've the one to gain a foothold and well hold the ground. their work is to make sure that this doesn't happen. as the war goes on, some soldiers are becoming prisoners of war. ortiz roman causes folk with a family serving in the as of battalion who were captured to the maria,

pull the old plans, and now been held in captivity by russian forces. oh, we are at one of the points here in the next people's republic where the captives are held. this is one family, it's a mother, son, and the father. the son is 18 years old and he's an active soldier. the mother and she told me, is a medic and, and the father is a driver. now i was allowed to speak to these people clumsy, sue, of lucifer, of sugar, broiled, or should mrs. clint, my son wishes to and i feel okay, the treatment is appropriate. there haven't been any incidence at least involving myself or is it that your printer driver finishing the fish flim? it's hard for me to answer that. i thought that no one would survive at all, that we would all die there at the as of still planning. but

a decision was made to save lives and avoid unnecessary losses. so i believe it's the right one. but on the other hand, of course, it's a blow to one's reputation in each, but the owners of nail, my new post, the proposed that the course small doorway it. so yes, it's a young fighters training that test both mental and physical endurance. there is constant physical prep, wrestling obstacle courses, military mountaineering now, i might not be able to repeat all these things. i was able to do back then a little girl of his lizard. for years, my husband was serving in as elf and i came to support him, was then yes, a val carry or lose. this is my code name in the 1st place. it is also an ambulance that protects me, the bushel even the muzzle multiple of the said contract to you of the game to them just him. it was so. but you want to puzzle even puzzle. but it was the best

melcher unit in mario pal at the moment. dr. the mr. moody wilson posted the walker, whose night to, to blew them, filled out, am boca, as of got, you're pretty much dormant for those who opposed to vittles. i don't know. i don't know how i would be viewed every one there is against us now. ship rose ukraine has rebuked the french president for his russia remark. manuel, my con recently said that moscow should not be humiliated any settlements. the conflicts suggesting in the west should maintain a diplomatic dialogue with russia to bring sides to negotiating table calls to avoid humiliation of russia can only humiliate france and every other country that would call for it. because it is russia that humiliates itself. we should all better focus on how to put russia in its place. this will bring peace and save lives. micron has continued to push for dialogue with russia since moscow launched

his offensive in ukraine back in february. his position has been regularly condemned by some other european nations for not being aggressive enough for the micron seas. francis roll in the conflict as a mediating power over he has yet to make a trip to ukraine since the war began. his for his to travel to the country at the time and in circumstances this a useful missed the 1st time ukrainian officials. i've taken aim european leaders for their tongues on the conflicts. last month, ukraine's ambassadors, germany under a male nick called german chancellor, olaf sholtes and offended liver burst over his refusal to visits. kiev, ukraine has been critical of the german government for what it sees, slow and insufficient military support. last week, berlin pledge to send key of an air defense system with radar trucking to detect artillery. fire. let's go live. now to rasmussen, executive vice president of the american nonprofit education organization, the erasure center. welcome to the program. now,

what do you make of french efforts as a mediating power in ukraine? conflicts, do you think that the criticism of france is justified in this case? oh, absolutely not. i think, you know, i think too often western powers in general have been actually the rhetoric from, from ukraine have been demonizing for russia and i think it's a wrong way. i think my crohn is trying to position himself. so maintains relationship of some degree that can act immediate because that's the bottom line. you're going to have to have a political settlement at some point. and, and we haven't heard that from kissinger. the other week at davos, where he talked about the need to recognize the importance of russia with europe and the role. and they need to come to some type of settlement a soon. and i think that's a very important and without maintaining those lines of communications in an

attempt to dialogue, to have a dialogue that type of a settlement is not going to occur. and it's going to be actually to the detriment of, of ukraine. most of all, if those lines are not maintained. and what do you make of microns cold, not humiliates russia, in any settlement of the conflict when it does come about. i think that's the correct way. i think that's the absolutely shouldn't be doing that. i think that's a diplomatic way. that's a correct direction to do and, and i, i, you know, in my view, what's happening here, the only place in the country is being humiliated as it's coming out of which is unfortunate. but i think, yeah, humility in russia does nothing for, for any type of settlement. now we see these words from my crohn about not humiliating russia and striving for diplomacy. both france is one of the countries

that is supplying weapons to ukraine and also pushing for further sanctions. how do you square that circle where i think they're getting pressure from, from united states and, and with them, they're nato allies. i think they're all getting pressure to a certain a certain degree. so yeah, it is kind of kind of a split direction here. it's almost like a dual personality, but, but i think regardless of whether they're supplying weapons, regardless of whether they're disagree with russia's initiative here, the fact is that one, france, france, and germany did nothing to ensure the midst agreements were implemented. if they were, we would not be in the situation, but 2 microns trying to maintain a relationship. and that's important. so you still need to have that. you still

need to maintain a dialogue, rushes to important. they're too important from us, from the political geopolitical perspective. on the supply chain perspective, from the energy, the food perspective, they are a critical country that to the world and how it divides and you need to maintain that relationship. and whether you disagree with met at all or not. when the, when the conflict ceases, you need to be engaged with them. and it's very important for the world in general . so things that micro might be having his eyes on a, on a post conflict world. but he does also do the theme in a rush to follow some of his counterpart by boys johnson just didn't. you don't live on the line. you've already visited ukraine. why do you think that is? he was obviously part of the shuttle diplomacy efforts before the war started in february. i'm not sure why perhaps that perhaps it's

a reason one the visit to your crane. i think it's kind of ridiculous. it's just kind of a show or a media kind of, i guess it plays in with mr. once the past, you know, as far as getting an opportunity to, to act. but i think, you know, perhaps that to keep the diplomatic channels open in to better better in that area . now, moving on to russia and ukraine, obviously the war has dragged down for over a 100 days now with, with losses on both sides. do you think it's time to both russia and ukraine? we start negotiations. well, i think it's unfortunately, negotiations ended i, i think they need to have negotiations. but, but let's, let's say that they need to be serious negotiations and they need to, to acknowledge rushes. one,

the demands or the requirements here and no security guarantee. it's not whatever the pre war situation is is too late. that's gone. so now you've got 2025 percent of the land is occupied. those is going to be another ukraine is not going to look like ukraine. it was prior to the conflict and you know that, and that's due to their leadership and not following through and not, not acknowledging and having opened serious negotiations up front. but, but negotiations i think need to continue and they need to be there. and at some point it's going to be a diplomatic settlement. now will how much given tanks going to be there? i'm not sure the longer this conflict happens. i think there will be no room for negotiations, and russia will dictate terms period or to wait to see what sort of

a diplomatic solution comes about between ukraine and russia. when we're talking about russia and the west or c rushes, the most sanctioned country in the world now with extremely high sanctions against it. what do you think the future holds for diplomatic relations between the west of moscow? i think the trust has been has been destroyed significantly. i think one, i think the west should never have gotten this route on the sanctions and i think they need to back off. but we've got we've got record inflation going on here and it's just going to get worse. food i just was in food briefing last week and farmers are paying $2.00 to $3.00 times as much for their fertilizer. plus the increase in energy that's going to hit the food prices in the next 3 to 6 months and harvest time comes in. so this is the, this is a catastrophic time for the, for the west and internet. it's not the world that's life, living russia to west,

it basically isolating themselves from the rest of the world. i see we're going to potentially have a, a split, maybe 2 different financial system evolving. i think it's unfortunate. we'll have to re readjust that. but i think we need to back off in the sanctions and we need to be constructive in a relationship with roger rasmussen. executive vice president of the registers, i'm sure we'll have you back on before too long as the conflict develops. thank you . thank you. peter. 3 motion, violinists who were excluded from a competition in italy, apparently due to their nationality plan, to sue the organizers of the contest. unless, despite the rejection letter, claiming there was no prejudice in the decision, one of the violinist lydia country says that the organizers violated their own shots. since it states that people have all nationalities come, participate in the contest. it wasn't my so style and that was been

rejected because of the nationality these couple of months. but in the rules of she was region the every produce can 30 she paid of an image analogy. everyone now know about this story because i made a recreation on facebook. and actually yesterday we received a letter. it was 10, will be read nice with if we go and condemn conflict. i'm a musician. so i'm out of politics. and i finally strange did it. they asked me to do it because when i applied, i just applied as mediation, so nothing to do with it. it's not the 1st case of russian sentiment in the cultural earlier 9. most musicians were excluded from the dublin international piano competition for hundreds international competition in canada has also withdrawn its invitations for 6 russian unit violinist olivia country. and again,

she told us the competition organize the funds to change the rules about musicians from conflicting countries from participating was region the next sure there they will be happy to participants again, the one the country to be over and know the president of the computer. surely decided to teach the roofing, people from the counseling 3 countries and they won't be able to participate in the competition. in my opinion, this is ridiculous. what a deep didn't because of the russian analogy just because of the place of birth. that's how the world is looking for 30 am monday morning. moscow tie, my name is peter scotts. i'll be back with more. the latest at the top of the hour . ah, with

ah hello and welcome to the part united we stand divided the fall is may be one of the oldest and most popular loaners in human history is cited in is of fables in the harry potter saga in the new testament. and of course, in multiple speeches of american presidents, and that's true on personal or national level. would that also apply to the world

of to discuss that i'm now joined from beijing by a night tank and senior fellow and they tie her in situ. it's great to see you're good to talk to you. thank you very much for time for you. now let me start the idea that i mentioned in my introduction that a house and that's the biblical version. how that is divided against itself cannot stand. would it be fair to say that the world, as we know it today, is perilously divided, or has it always been that way? well, there are moments, the division, i mean there is always division with you. but today what we place is on parallel unwinding of an international world order that you put in place after world war 2. it created the cold war. bear with moment carrie euphoria during the term of long reagan when you asked

why, again, that was quickly. now all the good, well with quickly in terms of going into afghanistan, i'm fighting with to rock. now you see say to just looking to play mothers work was working. you started looking at lower middle class, especially white americans. they are on the market on one side that they are, you know, the charge that there's a problem society and the other hand, they see that they're not increase the last 40 years, i've been going sideways. meanwhile, people on wall street are making more money to add the 2 rich men in the united states well is greater than the entire nation. so when you start looking at these inequalities and what's happening within us, but that.
