ah ah no see, they owe to the roof over their heads to neo nazis. they shed food with neo nazi. a very peculiar b o. r t crew finds documents stating neo nazi fighters from a ukranian army unit where plumping landmines in civilian areas. i've done boss in 2016 with european security group inc. b o. s. the dimly aware all of that information. also in the story that shape that we've done yet, court issues, death sentences for 3 foreign fighters and helped her during the, the men to britain's american not pleaded guilty,

but planned to appeal the ruler. and while the russian economy rebellions from the initial shock, western countries are coming to terms with the full light from their own sanctions against moscow. amid storing energy prices looming, crisis a far like we don't want to use the car to my it's point with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekend r t. hello and welcome to the news rocker local or defense systems this weekend in the city of danielle comp, reportedly been working to defend the area from a series of incoming attacks. residents shared these images of plumes of smoke in the sky following

a massive overnight bombardment. ukrainian forces are believed to have recently conducted at least 10 attacks on the city. and r t correspondent came under fire on saturday, while reporting on the aftermath of a previous strike. the the garage compound, michelle and the mortify was continuing in several mortars were incoming just now, mostly because of the ongoing, showing the fire engines are going out. we just got 2 more rounds, just hit this area and have a show. well, is there something that you can use? absolutely no military facility here. you can see there are houses, garages, just civilian infrastructure. and so i was, i was an annual. thank you for firefighters. unfortunately, have to work in your condition. they put out the fires caused by the showing. but all right. but all the while russian forces continue to take out ukrainian military

facilities. the defense ministry of this voltage of russian artillery strikes on ukrainian armed forces positions, as well as video of a high precision miss files strike from the c charlie military infrastructure. russia is celebrating its national holiday. this sunday june, the 12th residence of dunbar, also joined in with the celebrations with people from mario pal in they done yet republic unfurling and massive russian flag and citizens in the loop. ganske republics, capital city gathering for festivities. the southern city of melee topple, now under russian control, celebrated the holiday to 3 foreign fighters captured in murray. you pulled nimbly to british citizens on the moroccan national. were sentenced to death this week by a court in the done yet republic. they were convicted of plotting

a violent overthrow of the regions government. the trio pleaded guilty to some of the charges. there lawyer said they'll appeal a sentence which could be committed to life imprisonment. the men have largely been depicted as heroes by western media for fighting for q or for their belief in the conflict appears to have altered since being detained. then we, then we do a wall that's not not a war that they should been fighting for. like for myself, i look, look at myself. like i said to me, not one has to be mentioned or talked about my case or tried to help my situation. they understand, i have a time limit on my case, and i feel abandoned by the crating government. and the british government is totally different and a full scale war. and my experience, and this is a 1st time i've had artillery 1st home. i've had grad and, and 1st i've been in

a full scale war and is disorganized, it's unpleasant, it's green. but the 2 men's words and captivity are at odds with some of their comments before they were detained. having previously made some combustion for marketing russian. i am here defending my family and adopted city russia started this war. it's funded by russia and driven by russia, but we will fight them, make no mistake about that. i feel a need to protect the ukrainian way of life, even though i'm not ukranian the u. k support for ukraine has so far been really good compared to other countries. i hope our prime minister and other m. p. 's can push harder to increase support and give more equipment. journalist on former seattle is john kerry alco said volunteers who go to fight and other countries wars of a price to pay when captured. if this is not your conflict, you have no business volunteering to be in it. you know, we had people here in the united states, or we brought them to the united states who were captured on the battlefield in

afghanistan and pakistan. and so we, we treated them as, as mercenaries, which is what they were, they were non state combatants hostile combatants and they faced the full power of the law. and so if, if you're an american or in the case that you cited a britisher or a moroccan and you volunteer to fight somebody else's war, then you're going to have to pay the price when you're capture, it's going to be very clear to people who are entertaining the idea of going to pray that there's nothing in it for them. they're, they're not going to get rich doing this. they're not going to come back with glory from the battle field. this is a no win situation. they should mind their own business and stay away in the united states. we call people like this glory hounds, people who,

who feel like they've wasted their lives and want to be able to tell their children and grandchildren stories some day. it's almost always a bad idea. and just returning to sean pinner and aiden austin, they spoke of their hopes of avoiding the death penalty ahead of the sentences. i probably would have tried not join the military and tried to get into like a civilian way. i'm hoping the people and the judges like can give my actions. i hope i really hope that i received the death penalty so that they can go on to maybe help rebuild because there's going to be a lot of help needed for me. my will be done for you and if we have a say, and if you know, $33.00 times in england, generates one survived memory or 2. if i get through this and i'm still alive, i'm not going to chance at that time. you know, it's to me, it's done just to point out aiden flynn,

the 1st month to speak. there had previously been arrested on terrorism charges in the u. k. after he fought in syria in 2016, he was at later cleared of all allegations. britton's foreign secretary has criticized the done yet court's decision. calling a legal while a dining st spokesperson said it was, quote, a hold of the sentencing us marine corps veteran on journalist john mark doug. say the death sentence is a warning to anyone else thinking of traveling to fight in ukraine. it was a legal decision carried out by the court and even though they don't recognize the the l d r in the people's republic in the people's republic. those are still the governments in charge of those areas. so you know, whatever they say's is what's going to happen. and there's not a lot that they can do about it. they're telling people don't come here. mind your own business, because you don't love these people. they're sorry now because they got caught in

this is, this is the way it always is, but they're not sorry when they're engaging in crimes against the people who donica republic with, with you, grand military. it's, it's a 2 way street, you know, even me is a journalist. i'm on ukraine's hill list with a bunch of other journalists. and if we get caught there, they'll execute us just for reporting what's actually happening over there. so, you know, the, these governments like the u, k, u. s. and all these other governments that are crying foul or, and they have no place, they have no reason to condemn mercenaries when, when their side of ukraine is, is, you know, willing to execute journalists are t appears to have covered evidence that the organization for security and cooperation in europe may have been in some way linked to ukraine's of trent nationalists. right sector movement. no, we've asked the u. s. c,

the world's largest security body for comment, but are yet to receive a reply. ortiz eager shutdown of has the story. this is where the militants of the right sector battalion were stationed. one of the most notorious, neo nazi groups in ukraine. this was their command center. you can see combs, cables, all. hm. of course, well destroyed. but what is particularly interesting about this place is that the right sector militants, again, one of the most notorious, neo nazi formations in ukraine, very much akin to as off or i da, for example, they shared this building with the members of the o is see mission we found their insignia on the floor just above us. so again, members of the international community, the lower see, they owe to the roof over their heads to neo nazis. they shared food with neo nazis, a very peculiar symbiosis. so here's what i was talking about. ukrainian insignia

right next to the insignia of the o. s. c, this is these are cyrillic letters. they're written in russian. so everything points to the fact that the members of always see indeed shared this living space with the ukranian forces, which were in part, well with the right sector near nancy battalion, there were 13 on this street here. they the right sector, lead the defense, was the right sector, mixed up with nato. yes, nato and the o. s. c, e were present here because we found their leaflets everywhere, their maps narcotics, and everything else. ah, this is an internal resource all over. she dated 2016, detailing some very well very in humane approach of the ukrainian military towards

civilians. since 2014 ukraine armed forces have been occupying civilian houses in the area of shores, a street booby traps and mine were all so placed in this area which have led to numerous civilian casualties. in may, several inhabitants of the village complained to the special monitoring mission about the behavior of ukraine armed forces personnel station in the vicinity of shore street and reported that they had evicted one family from their home in order to occupy it. the soldiers were using aggressive wat stokes captain, least to prevent paper of my accessing the area. it was reported that 2 people have been bitten by. the dogs found his another report from january 2017 that we discovered on the right sector base. a very interesting find because he has a paragraph relationship with military and military occupation of civilian houses. here. it details that the ukrainian armed forces indeed were occupying civilian houses and placing and placing military vehicles between these houses. for example,

here at reeds in august. the special monitoring mission spoke with an intellect cuter, which is basically a local who showed his partially destroyed house. shortly after the ukrainian military placed a tank in the back yard. so not only were they will using civilian houses in the victims civilians. they also, they also rigged them. here's a picture taken by o. s. c showing a booby trap callous move on to more world news. now, new records were sent in the us this week as inflation had its highest level and more than 4 decades on the average price of gasoline increased to $5.00 per gallon . not is nearly twice what it was just a year ago that americans aren't happy at the choices they're being forced to make . just in order to fill up at the pumps. a lot of the bang i can do because i have to pay for get those in less less place. well,

you got to think about gas now. you know, you gotta decide, you really want to go out there or not. they need somebody like you want to go to the clover, go to the bars. i've got to spend money just to have fun, but then on that gap. well yeah, think about that. i usually could probably like to see dollars like a $100.00. we don't want to go too far and we don't wanna use a car too much. it's pointless to right now. well, petrol prices have been rising drastically over the past month. and washington's bond on oil imports from russia has really only exacerbated the situation. gasoline in california is not more than $6.00 per gallon with some locations, seeing it as high as $10.00. some experts are predicting further increases across the nation. and it's not just energy food prices, they're searching around the world with w t o warning that export bonds other sanctions as well. they're set to make and

already global food crisis. even worse. i think one of the things it must not on day see me is how things like export restrictions and prohibitions can exacerbate the situation. you saw that in the 20082009 foot crisis. just those kinds of actions did lead to price spikes. marquee charlotte dubin ski has been looking into how effective the west sanctions against russia have actually been. when western leaders banded together to impose unprecedented sanctions on russia, they would clear this would smash the country's economy to a pulp. we will limit russia's ability to do business in dollars, euros, pounds, and yen. to be part of the global economy. the sanctions measures we impose today, i think without question for the most consequential ever levied on russia and arguably, the most consequential ever levied in history. all coordinated sanctions pushing

the russian economy back to the say, the era, our sanctions and the self sanctioning of companies themselves, draining rushes economy and thus draining the criminal war machine. at 1st, there were signs that the may succeed, the central bank raised interest rate to 20 percent, and they were reports of shortages. however, almost 4 months on those warnings happened yet come to pass. in fact, some sign suggests that russia is far more resilient than any western the, the could have predicted between january and april, russia. so it's current account surplus jump to an all time high. that's almost 4 times higher than the same period last year. meanwhile, as western countries are battling with historically high inflation rates, the rating, russia is going down on june 10th, russia central bank. and so that would decrease the key interest rate back to 9.5

percent to where it had been before its military operation had begun. move is seen as a key sign in one of the many that the country's economy is perhaps adapting to the effects of western sanctions. i think russia is dealing rather successfully with these sanctions because they are in a very strong position. and everybody knows this. if you are a supplier of all raw material, they are, and russia have all raw material needed in the world. you are in a pretty comfortable situation, especially when you have a very strong military. you have a very decent size of population and you have some industry that is very promising . now, much of the west and aspirations of crushing rushes economy came from plans to phase out all completely ban imports of its fossil fuels. the us and the you have taken some steps to that end,

but things haven't exactly gone to their plans. russia continues to sell vast energy supplies to the e. u, and it's even found itself new customers. it's also been reaping the benefits of sky rocketing energy point is, meaning it can sell less volume while still making more money. that's got the u. s . worried with washington now begging both china and india to stop buying so much russian oil in my conversations with them. i've said look, we don't have secondary sanctions, we can't ban your purchases. but as you increase your purchase from russia, don't go too far and don't look like you're taking advantage of the pain that is being felt in european households in the united states. as a promise of working, russia has essentially, at least for now, failed to come to pass western nations all racing to try and expand them this time by trying to coax neutral countries to join their coalition against moscow. joe

biden is reaching out to saudi arabia, a country that he branded a pariah state just last year. he's also tried to could you brazil, but that's not planning out either the inflation here. the already increasing interest rates. the difference between the price increases here and they average real wage increases. all of these things are creating enormous political difficulties in the united states and in other parts of the world. and you an analysis that puts all the blame on any one country, or any one event, is ipso facto unreliable. it's not serious. that is rhetoric of politically fin rhetoric. it's not an analysis of what's going on. russia certainly hasn't been isolated. the west had planned and hoped for at the same time the

intended effect of the sanctions has turned into a boomerang, affect, obviously, in many situations, we can't fully mitigate or avoid spill over costs to ourselves or to analyze partners. i think the russia program is a great example of that. i think from the beginning we here in the united states and allies and partners around the world, particularly in europe. understood. i think that we are clear about this, that there will be costs that we will have to take measures and impose costs on russia that will have still overs into our economies. despite the rebounding repercussions, the appetite for even more and even the heavier sanctions against russia hasn't diminished even flattening. putin has expressed concern about the impact sanctions of having on the west. in the mood is that we are not going to have a closed economy. if someone tries to limit us in some things they are limiting themselves, it's clear sanctions have pressed russia. in some areas,

it's getting harder, for example, to buy by parts. the cars and prices have increased, but the west has so full, failed to do what it promised to drain the country's economy and to force puting to cool off his troops. or at another story to bring you today. china has called on the us and its allies to compensate the victims of nature was bombing of lucas lafayette in the late 19 like these, which devastated a local population. you may, wu is with a 23 years ago, u. s. lead nato blatantly bombarded the federal republic of yugoslavia for $78.00 days without the approval of the un security council. such moves by the u. s. lead nato or shocking nato should solemnly reflect on its war crimes answer for its actions and compensate the victims of the depleted uranium bombs that they dropped as soon as possible. nato must be taught

a lesson and stop creating new turmoil and division across the world. the nato bombing campaign killed or on $2500.00 civilians, including $79.00 children. according to serbian officials, thousands more were wounded as nato r strikes destroyed civilian infrastructure, much of which were residential buildings in the series of attacks which lasted nearly 80 days. in 1999 nato's operation allied force was conducted as an incursion into the country civil war. and various regions sought independence of the operation most launch without the approval of the un security council, thus bypassing international, the spot, the resistance of russia and other countries. washington and allies began their so named humanitarian intervention, which they still consider to have been necessary on legitimate serbian political analyst. alexander poverty says the u. s. ignores international law when it suits them, but demands that other countries always stick firmly to the rules. us doesn't recognize

any international jurisdiction over it or its soldiers. so you know, us demands that other stick to the roles that it doesn't respect itself. you know, they call. busy for this rules based international order, but you know, it comes down to the right, the rules and everyone else should obey except for them. so you know, as long as they keep asking like that there will be disorder because it's clearly using double standards. what applies for everyone else doesn't apply for washington, and unfortunately, it hasn't changed one iota, you know, they're now pressuring serbia to up and then russia to impose sanctions against russia for violating ukrainian territory. but the united states violated serbian territory, 999. and then in 2008, by recognizing unilaterally, pardon serbian territory, the so called cost of all which is not been able to establish itself as any kind of

a viable fate. it's a failed state and without international aid, without nato troops that survive 2 days. in the aftermath of nato's bombing campaign, an international peacekeeping mission was established in yugoslavia. the country dissolved in 2003, with the cost of a region later, declaring for independence from serbia 5 years after about wherever that state is, is still not recognised by belgrade. along with nearly half of the international community, western nations have been the main supporters of autonomy for costco. we discussed nato politics and the bombardment campaign with the man who was the foreign minister of yugoslavia during nato's assault. it is a clear violation or think that mission a law and a not talk or not the diplomacy in international relations.

it is indeed the end of hamilton to impose and no real or 3rd factor in violent their own relations, all sobered serbia and russia. this is to be condemned and to be strongly rejected as unacceptable move nato. he is a g tool of a usc and the key tool for expending the pony you own the nation domination or is that is that concept of unit ball oddity ceased and, and there with a tendency of new people, modernization, old relations. we see additional air force to defend the unique lot. ready if he's been by all means al or for this

is like an attempt to act 132, he's 3132, no want tendencies. it is the liberal tech game of nato countries or they want to when you and they are who are in i'm a man instructors and know why he's all kind of gc support because they wouldn't like to see we can to rush school a. we are shock, he's also not realistic, but a dish, pensions this keeps you down. this keeps your under our control of

united states. and then this is also a expanding market for a military publics. ah, all right, let's turn the program not to south america where bolivia is former in trim. president jeanine onions has been sentenced to a decade in prison for august, treating a qu brought her to power in 2019. that's overthrow. so then president, even when i was forced to resign with onions coming to power via the bypassing of constitutional on electoral norms, genius a, she is innocent on plans to address the international community. to appeal her conviction, hundreds of bolivians gathered outside the court honest in the nation's capital to celebrate the decision after the sentence was done. the investigation had been initiated by morales is left wing party which regained office in 2020 latin

american studies. professor at york university. daniel shaw says the ruling will be felt by the us this strike series. so washington, that a peoples government that the m a s in bolivia could try these qu mongers, these us sponsored violators of human rights, the perpetrators of the st kata ah massacre in bolivia, janine ein yes is behind bars. for 10 years on this sends a clear message that the bolivian people will take justice into their own hands regardless of what washington, thanks. time of monroe is on the $1824.00 monroe doctrine, the time of south american caribbean. as the united states is back yard, that epic of history has ended, but the majority of countries were not at the summit of the americans. odds. 22

countries boycotted the summit of the americas. so this polarization gripping the continent. our federal is set to win with france, marquez in columbia. we have lula sets when in october, in brazil, the largest economy, a in, in south america. and this is going to shift the side and lulu talking about the, sued a united south american currency. so this is our sharing in a 2nd wave of boulevard in ism that represents a lot of our hope in decades, the centuries of resistance across the hemisphere. not asia recap of the global news week. that was and just to remind her for all of this weekend's latest developments r t dot com has you more down than my from what

we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on of very dramatic development. the only personally i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time to sit down and talk with .
