[000:00:00;00] ah ah, no equivalence in the world vladimir putin gives the military updates thing. the newly developed salma intercontinental missiles will be put on to you to by the end of this year. monday there's sustain some of the heaviest shilling that it's so here over the last 8 years, we report from the ground 0. i've been late, ukrainian, shutting down yet impacting just a few feet away from a residential building full of civilian. does ukraine president lansky tries to play russia for rising food and security in the world?

the african union calls on the e u to the sanctions on moscow classes, africa base. the rising hunger crisis has countries hindered from obtaining grain and fertilizes from russia. ah, very well welcome. this is on to you international coming to you live from moscow. with the latest world headlines, it's good to happy with us. now, russian president vladimir putin is that the newly developed saw much intercontinental ballistic missile systems. we will be put on duty by the end of this year. he's also emphasized that the russian army has been getting state of the art as 500 as defense systems to both to that capabilities, the pending of incoming attacks. why scholarship was so by me, our troops are now receiving the brand new as 500 air defense system, which has no equivalence in the world. we've also successfully tested the sarm out

intercontinental ballistic missile and are planning to place the 1st such icbm system on combat. duty at the end of this year, we will use library portal says that the russian army started receiving the countries news and t at croft, missile defense system as $500.00 after $22.00 killer s 500 is a next generation surface ram may sell system with a range of 600 kilometers, with a trader capable of covering the area of 3000 kilometers, it is designed to intercept and destroy a wide range of targets at the same time, including hypersonic crews may solve and south jets. it is considered today, one of the most advanced in the world. it was successfully tested last july and early in april base here we heard from the head of russia's defense technology company. her make connect that the system has been put into mass production. also why my point says that soon the russian army will be supplied with super have

a intercontinental ballistic missile sacrament known as satan to the side of much with a payload of up to 7 and a half mega tons is capable of carrying 10 or more nuclear warheads and of striking different targets simultaneously thousands off co, longer as a way it is, one of 6 brand new strategic weapon is russia is using to modernize its arm and with it was successful. it tested just a couple of months ago, and is now getting ready to enter the service. marcia's military says it has funded off an attack on snake island. they strategically important location in the black sea. the moscow's forces took on the very 1st day of the war. march this defense ministry say that defense is of shot down, 13 ukrainian drone act craft, as well as every missile that has target to be island for the kids forces to console the plans. la operation that moscow says an american strategic recognizance drone has also been spotted in the region. also, amidst the conflict, the russian army has attacked ukrainian military ass hill near the southern city of

odessa destroying 2 artillery pursuits that had how it says recently imported from the us. the russian military says it destroyed about 15 american, made how it says in the past 24 hours. all of them without even being used once in battle elsewhere. and the accounts were public. officials say ukrainian artillery forces keeping up their intense shelling of the town of pass naya, with most of the buildings there now heavily damaged or completely destroyed. and in the capital city of the don. yes, republic, renewed shelling, left for people wounded on monday with some civilian infrastructure that apparently being targeted. russian investigators say they're probing what could be considered e crenan war crimes. as a result of the latest attacks artes women cause reports. i'm standing in a crater that was created as a result of ukrainian artillery shell and here in da, next on monday night, it is quite

a deep. it is 3 meters deep. it is 9 meters long and 8 meters wide and it, it is right next to a residential building here in done as 4 people. 4 people had been wounded including a kid who is only a 9 years old. thankfully, no one was killed in this attack. but monday, then there's sustained some of the heaviest shilling that it saw here over the last 8 years. now civilian infrastructure was damaged. there was a damage to power lines, damage to a water supplies. so thousands of people are now without any electricity. and of course, the several houses and cars have also caught on fire as ukraine continues to show the city of the nets, and it's out. yet she will be less often as will receive us. i loved it when the city was beautiful, with trees and flowers everywhere. we planted

a few of the trees ourselves. but there they are lying there dying on the ground. thank god, it's not us lying there. one moment. oh, this is just one of the men who was injured during ukrainian artillery attack on this apartment. he doesn't want to show his face, but so these are the results of the injuries that he sustained here. this is what this apartment complex looks like in its entirety. the russian investigative committee are now working here, making the inquiry is trying to determine the level of a crime that was committed here by that nationalist forces over of ukraine. and obviously this is a war crime because civilian infrastructure and apartment building had been

targeted at the moment. so there is no electricity here. no running water as services are trying to clean this place up and make sure it will once again be livable. remark offer, i've already done that people's republic the u. envoy to moscow claims there is no intention to blockade russia west to most region of kellen and grass. despite the fact that lithuania has sought to ban on the transit of sanctions, goods to the enclave. the russian agents governor has threatened to take measures against the countries transport industry unless the restrictions are left it, at least as a flagrant violation of the obligations of the you and the baltic states up on their session to the union. in my view, this is a challenge to us. we must persuade them diplomatically to resend or amend this policy and allow us to conduct transit if they fail to do so. we have an enormous number of ways we can complicate the operations of the baltic states trust,

but industry. russia has slammed the lithuanian move as illegal but phil near. so authorities came that transit ban on color and ground is in accordance with the sanctions against russia. the restrictions affect the transportation of coal metals construction materials and advanced technologies are see contributor, racial mazda and reports on the issue. are people who are so obsessed with their own p r. i'm talking about the u. this is a really bad look. western liter keep saying how they want russian president you're putting. ready pe, price for the call to get grants, but it's always the average citizens who are paying the price, including westerners. now he cannot make challenges with any, you know, as he russian sections like as iranian sanctions, or as i venezuela, grand jury inflections, etc, etc, always hit the average person the hardest. and the idea is that sanction pressure on citizen, she caused them to rise up against their own country's leaders and do the west regime change dirty work except the people on the sanctions are alternately imposed

are stupid. they know where there are countries, domestic challenges and, and the impact of foreign interference began. now the situation with collecting broad would be like canada, preventing trends between alaska and the rest of the united states. how do you think washington would tolerate that? but of course, don't anyone dare call this clinic grad situation of blockade? she knew diplomat gender burrell, says it isn't to land transit between cleaning good at another part of russia has not been stop north bend, but he's no blockade. he also is splitting hairs on technicalities. because in that same speech, he also said the indeed and i quote in accordance with european union sanctions, there are import and export restrictions that apply relation with certain goods including the prohibition of transit from those goods through the european union

territory. now he's all caught up in whether or not what they're doing is legal and he's valley to ensure of course that it is. but you know, by then it might be too late. all this might be over, who knows, right? but just because something i think lead legal, you know, maybe it's that hard to underscore under, to explain and split hairs. maybe you should be doing it at all. especially if you want to be in line with your own per claim values. you know, you're rushing up to conflict well claiming to want peace and then using the people who could grab is hans sure. go ahead and say that there's tactically no blockade, and maybe you are technically in the right as for international law or whatever, it's so confusing, it's hard to know. i mean, nobody really knows right now they're looking into it, right? the people of clinton grad and the reality will be the ultimate judge of what that's worth. what happened to those western values of human rights? by the way, do they apply to russians? and calling god knows where to you, or only when they're not standing in the way of a power play to further western interests, in which case, well, you know,

they're just shrugged office collateral damage with europe. already need to with wind to gas reserves, which are supposed to be topped up during the summer that you are paying commissions president has insisted that the you can cope without russian supplies off the commodity. energy efficiency and energy saving play an important role. if we reduce the heating temperature to degrees on average in europe or that of air conditioning, europe would replace the entire supply of note stream. meanwhile, about 80000 people attended a protest in brussels on monday to speak out against the quickly rising cost of living transport strikes. the fate of the cities may nap, hold on to other transport hubs through our belgium, bringing public travel from those locations to a near standstill. inflation has been estimated 9 percent this month, and sanctions against russia have disrupting supply chains all over the continent, making regular people pay exorbitant prices for the choices of their leaders. i

came here to defend purchasing power of the citizens because demonstrating is the only way to make change. we cannot cope anymore even with 2 salaries as we have on the medical teacher. both of us are working and we can not get our head about water . we must increase our purchasing power, your boss, whoever you left off is becoming more and more difficult gasoline hidden fuel. if will lower the taxes to 6 percent on what tricity and gas, it will then make the population happier or the nation one suffer. and he thought, yeah, for the moment after covered with the war in ukraine and others, workers concerns the government isn't facing our desires and wishes for why we should be able to negotiate a fair salary with companies. and we believe it's possible that by now russia is supposed to be holding africa hostage. that's how ukranian president vladimir zalinski has described moscow's relations with the continent and relentless western sanctions against russian exports, africa, africa is actually hosted to those who on least war against her state. and it was

not for the war against ukraine. there simply would be no shortage of food in the market. people in africa, asia, or in any other country in the world would not be suffering from the catastrophic rise and food prices. the head of the african union has responded by saying, gets committed to a peaceful resolution. but earlier he called for western countries to ease payment restrictions on moscow to allow africa to pay for russian goods. it is aggravated by european sanctions on the methods of payment. we want to pay, but it becomes impossible. so we are asking the europeans for the same mechanism as for gas and oil. although russia and ukraine export nearly a 3rd of the world's wheat and barley grain cannot get out of ukraine, and so kia places ports of his minds to allow for the safe expose of goods. a former south african senior official in charge of state statistics is incorrect to place the blame on just one country and made the current conditions the statements

of regains hooks. this ratio would be wrong because africa believes that we will. she has food and opportunity. long lane russia are holding from show to where and russia greenage war. and in that war, the luncheon that walk in my mind particularly reach him, but he'd come to correct, it will blame one country. it is the provoker of the food shortages. i may be as anxious about opening postal and watching as for why you are you in the us such as the yes that to go. so there the, i say no, you don't want to buy your, your, your gas, you that process? well to cheese for production, for, for back to purposes i disrupted the you have pledged more than 1800000000 euros to

help address food insecurity in several african regions where millions of people are on the brink of starvation. however, that humanitarian aid package is less than than a 2000000000 euros, that european union countries of already cost up to send weapons to ukraine, raising questions on whether you use foreign policy priorities really lie. meanwhile, despite admitting that more than 1700000 people himself down require food assistance to avoid starvation, the united nations has suspended humanitarian aid to them. so i think of funding crisis caused by the conflict and ukraine. the you want to say that must now diversify as food supplies to focus on helping other countries and regions and need the organization. food program has claimed that it exhausted all alternatives before making the tough decision to flash aid to south sedan. we got a reaction from some locals. you say the us decision cannot be justified when say

many lives on the line. we have flooding, we have going to make on crisis. we have a lot of crisis is also done. so as we assess it and need, we need help, we are asking for help. so and then the u. n is the one who is helping us, who providing us the basic needs of this needs. how are we going to survive as a social needs? how are you going to survive? it can never be fair. not only that people have tested on but anyway, because in africa majorly, we depend on them for other countries. so much here is also facing a lot of problems, hunger no indication. i guess we don't have enough what goes all around 1000, depending on what the program is, but it's a good put all the people we need more support from the world from ukrainian prime minister julia to machine can. he's using her political clout to

stand the flames. avante russian sentiments in the country, including advertising, a new brand of sausages with the label supporting world war 2 era not to collaborate to step on bank. i'm calling for quotes, death to russians, some of mich excellent, the most delicious sausage. this has been deborah, and this is death to russians. they are close in taste and design, and most importantly, in quality. the move if the latest by a ukrainian political figure to embrace anti welsh and sentiment follows the countries national parliament, passing a law banning russian music in public places. the southern city of nikolai of has even gone as far as to prohibit the use of russian language in schools. the ukrainian justice minister hospital authorities was installed, confiscating the assets of any one believe to be in cooperation with moscow. and yet the man, all the predominantly rational speak, ukrainian city of a desa has cautioned against the wise of anti wash and sentiment. he spoken out

against the renaming of pushkin's street which leads to the city hall as he wants to preserve the memory of the renowned 19th century russian author. no, i would not support that. odessa is the intercultural capital of ukraine. i'm worried by the growth of hatred of all things russian or the angela thomas roper, say the queen cannot be called a democracy on the in current government. it's just, it's just a joke to quote, ukraine didn't your taste ukraine, democracy added to democracy. this is again a sign of what the russians call a nazi freshest regime. this started already long before this started with arresting leader for paula mitchell, a position with closing all the critical media. and these were all things which happened more than a year ago for western media and politics. politicians don't want to see that. they just don't want to see who of the heroes of modern ukraine. the western,

the west just seems to be blind on this, but they don't want to see it and vote you, they're just not comparable with the western values. the european values, all the european values, are different of what they are saying of officially. they use member states have reportedly reached a consensus to grants candidate status for ukraine. the latest within the block of caution, that it could still be a very long time before you crank could actually be allowed to join. many different steps have to be taken would have to be taken, but that the moment that symbol of hope to keep the spirit alive is what is needed right now. he trying applied to your candidate status in february, shortly after russian russian b, russia began, is military operation. key of leadership has been seeking to fast track the country's membership process. the state is expected to be confirmed at a meeting of the leaders in brussels this week, when the words of the president of the commission us live on the lion expanding the

blog, would require ditching the current policy of having to reach a consensus for major decisions west cross live at to stephen and gay is now a professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade. many thanks for joining us on the program. now e leaders have reported the rates of consensus to grants candidate status to ukraine was expected. oh, were you surprised by that? i wasn't surprised by that because you has one on a full as a war rhetoric. and of course there's no space for democracy. if there won't be any referendum for finland, joining nato and the only depends on whether turkey likes it or not. i wouldn't expect any other major decision to be reached by a consensus or by any democratic me. so this is absolutely not.

so what's your view on the rising criticism about a weapon we supply c graham, particularly from the german chancellor la shows, is that a sign of this unity in the book? well, germans already know where this path leads. and also i've mentioned this many times, but i think i should mention it again. ok, george friedman, sad in 2014 repeatedly in belgrade, among other places that the us wants germany to armed itself and go to the east. and that was like to remind you, 8 years ago. so this plan was already existing in west point as a sun. so of course, a leadership knows that the u. s. wants to drag them into another bloody war in europe, which would be a disaster. of course, all european countries still,

i don't think that germany is resisting enough because they already sent weapons and they promised for more do you think your credit is, is ready to become a member state? do you think the values, if you have current governments come possible with the values of e? well maybe now they are since the values of the you, i was through a significant change. i would say in the last couple of years and even more so in the last couple of months, i think that the chances of your brain joining you are probably even less than chances are ukraine holding the revision. so context as they are now. so of course, this is only a political game to raise the stakes and to draw european societies, i'd say war psychology, of course, rally them against russia,

which won't be the 1st time in history for that to happen. when we have the commission chief, festive and elaine calling for more units within the plug regarding is foreign policy is a kind of insinuates that there are, there was a problem with disagree, but among the member states, how significant all this agreements do you think the disagreements are significant, especially when it comes to this disagreement populations are you countries or so on, on your lamb are really for from top to her hawkish rhetoric and last couple of months . and she's talking language ultimatum. and she's not the only one recently, mr. shoals who may be seen as a moderate, a, actually a in serbia as a hawk, as well. he said that serbia must join sanctions and must recognize that even the

session of the province. and the cynicism or it is that it should do that in order to preserve the territorial integrity of the brain and of course, or nothing in return, although any kind of offer like that we of course, an appropriate offer. i know we have to get the language, a hawkish tone, which only is only increasing, it is only likely to increase in reply models as already i q of countries that want to your membership, ga, moldova, in bosnia, they've been in negotiations for years. so it is ukraine, just going to be allowed to pass in line here. oh, absolutely. i mean this is this also. what would be the 1st time? remember that the area and romania did not meet the maastricht criteria when they

joined to you. and the decision was purely political. i would even say geopolitical . so of course i will come to line and it will get the candidate status or sure about. busy what is the content from the same as what actually is it getting? and we don't even know what we lack of ukraine or, you know, in a couple of months and a couple of years. also, the european countries know that this is not going to happen because they were terrified from this prospect of ukraine joining the you since it is a really big country, which is really hard to small into the system of the you. and that you itself would be in danger. but now this is all basically virtual politics.

and the only aim is to put more pressure against russia. and to say that russia is in war, you are with the member of the country that is applying for membership. so i think that the only reasons behind these i, again, i'm them are cracking decision is more pressure, i guess on you know, e leaders, they're saying they're calling ukraine fight against russia as a quote fight for democracy. but we had a guest on earlier questioning whether ukraine really was a democracy, given that opposition politicians a face being thrown in jail. so the political parties have been banned. i was take, i mean, the member of negotiating team of ukraine that was go shifting with russia in february was murdered cold bloodedly, in the streets of kia and nobody made any about that for the war crimes were

committed, were proven like the a everybody was, was was quick to accuse russia, but when i want to tell him journalist read actually that was the only thing inside that, that time with you know, as a result, nobody was interested in this story. the same goes for every single case or goes under the media hype. and then once, once it is useless for a bunch of all that. so of course, a good thing is that countries are not far from being democracies are far from what they claim to me again. and there was no procedure. there was a finish citizens in the question of whether the country should

join me or not. so that the process is on the a laps and now. and now there is a little leak in the name of that is defining the. busy seat of the union as a call and is trying to influence decisions. busy are countries even countries are larger such as germany, which are supposed to be leading? as some observers on politicians, i've said that the, i'm the conflict between rushman ukraine. it could go on for years. but can you continue to move forward giving billions of years and age to you create in the long term? well, i don't think that the this is economically sustainable, but of course we are yet to see. 4 what is ahead of us,

the inflation will only increase the prices on the job market. the prices are energy security and so on and so forth. and we'll see how the population in the will population of different countries of course, will react to what is a has and certainly not, i mean times are on the higher the societies. and i think this is very bad for, for, for the citizens of you. and i only think that she will be here for time, but the answer your question is. ready no, this is not sustainable, and i think we will find ourselves in a different situation in the month 7 guy is professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade. many thanks for your time and your insight. we appreciate it. thank you and thank you for joining us there and i see international web back in 30

minutes with the very latest to see you then. oh, ah, remember 6 months ago everyone was looking about them. now much less. so i think climate change will re merge as an important topic at some point because people see floods, people see fires, people see heat waves and makes the news. so now the past couple of months of the ukraine prices may have been used, but even already i think it is
