a jim uh ah, in the headlines this monday, he gets access to a number of files from a security survey sting operation, showing a failed attempt of ukrainian military intelligence to bribe russian pilots defect . also on the program. all countries of africa have sovereignty, are free to choose their own policies, including foreign policies in the interest of their own people. those were the words of egypt, foreign minister, after talked with his russian counts about sort of a lover of who's currently on a, toward africa that much, that is may of us politicians who rang alarm bells over brushes, increasing influence in the region. and russia says it's artillery has destroyed ukrainian control center is an ammunition deposed across the dumbass front. all

crude visits look on spots are in units why lee ukrainian forces have few options to choose from. these render withdraw or be completely destroyed. also coming all brazilian president, both are now to reiterate. his country won't join until russian sanctions, despite ukrainian president zalinski is called for brazilian to choose a side in the conflict with coming to you from our headquarters in moscow. this is our international. i'm peter scott. these, the top stories are beaten their own game with the conflicts in ukraine, showing no sign of abating ought fi got access to files, dots according to the russian security services. expose a failed plot by ukrainian military intelligence and operation that would involve stealing moscow's ministry jets by offering a guarantee,

but to pay off to the pilots boats. instead, russian security officers were at the other end of the line is maria for nation is in depth investigation. they say all is fair and love and war and it seems key of agrees. its army has been losing territory weaponry and personnel in russia. special military operation to the great disappointment and surprise of ukraine's western partners, whose support and financing have been enormous. so ukraine has been trying our turn 2 ways to reinvigorate its army and provide treason in the enemy camp. they put a price tag on every russian combat piece handed over to the ukranian side by the russian military. key of was generous, hundreds of thousands of dollars for different types of weapons. warplanes fresh, the highest 3 ward a 1000000 us dollars. but when they were no volunteers,

key of took the initiative itself for months. the ukrainian military intelligence services have been trying to context a number of russian combat pilots. why to persuade them to, to rush and fight debts and lend them in ukraine? for us, the most important goal of this event is a piece of military hardware and the person who defected to our side orange. explain to you that our goal is an airplane. you understand this perfectly well and we're rated to pay for it. it's written in our parliamentary website that will officially pay a $1000000.00 for such things and we can negotiate with you or not, the median. i guarantee you reduce the miracles with. if i these actions, i had to show my negative attitude towards the leadership of the country and motivate the flight crew to betray the motherland. initially of course, i took it as a joke, but after a period of talking it became clear that i was dealing with representatives of the

ukrainian intelligence service and their western partners also is proposed to get passports of european states. a comfortable life abroad was promised. but we all understood that this was impossible, and we had no friends among them. they occur in inside thoughts. they were talking to pilots. what they didn't know was that the russian f as b was aware of the operation and was monitoring all communications. how did they find and contact trash and pilots? for want ukrainian intelligence can obtain information about russian services from the internet, photos and uniform with military equipment in the background. some comments on professional topics or their reason to turn it to the user. the act on the sophisticated way they present themselves as foreign journalists, analysts, and recently don't even hesitate to speak on behalf of the russian media and state bodies. we see this activity and take appropriate measures. in most cases, people from kia introduce themselves, as well as who they were ukrainian intelligence to earn the russian pilots trust

they acted and professionally expose the identity, their whereabouts, and also shared some strategic confidential information. that's good. they believe so much. and the possibility of organizing a hijacking that they reveal the layout of air defense systems, altitude maps, and lots of other useful information to us. this information was taken into account by armed forces in the course of the military operation, especially while using high precision weapons. there was a professional pilot taken part in negotiations from key a side to with his russian colleagues. he discussed technical details of the flight and safe corridors including precise maps and schemes. even though i gave you a route so that he would fly outside populated areas because there are a lot of nan pads there and it will be difficult to warn them. the system we have is fine. we can give a command so that the air defenses don't work. it is 100 percent possible,

and i wrote to you about man. pets will give commands for brigades to band shooting a targets for one hour in one direction and the other. that's what russia security forces this coverage. they were dealing with specialists with exclusive access bush, we will make 3 entry points for you one and the kirk of area. the other one remains the same as before, and we will make one south of denounced when he cross. so border, the contact line, your call sign will be 730. you say $730.00 warm c plus and will will know it is you and we'll track you. but key if needed, guarantees to, to ensure that the russian pilots were real and actually had access to the jets that key of wanted them to steal the ukraine inside asked for a video next to specific airplanes their number as agreed and advance. just for the video proof alone, ukraine shelled out $4.00 to $7000.00. then the question of how to pay the pilots

emerged after all, western sanctions affected bank transactions between the 2 countries. so it was decided that cash would be handed over to the russians through delivery men and women. these sisters from moscow, how they lost links in a long chain. they arrived in a russian town, took the money from their contact, and gave it to the pilot who secretly filled the moment later, rush and security forces detained, the person who had allegedly recruited the girls. and this is when an interesting piece of the puzzle emerged. the man claimed he got the order from the notorious rece. the grocer at bulgarian journalist had of the billing kat investigative news outlet known for its close ties to the british intelligence service. am i 6 over grossi had told me, well, he did not explain anything to me. you just told me the name of the courier who

would deliver their money by train. i'm overwhelmed with emotions. i'm furious with crystal girls. you have a trusted him as a man who would never betray me. i would never have thought there would be such a dog deal there. so similarly transpired that grows of ties with western intelligence agencies go far beyond just using their data and sources for his investigative journalism. in fact, it looks like he is a vital part of his secret operation led by you create an intelligence and not just ukrainian. is there a feeling that ukraine was not the only one behind this operation? obviously, the operation itself was carried out with the support of western and primarily or dish intelligence services. we know about growth service involvement in m, i. 6, not only from his statements in general, ukrainian intelligence has recently ceased to hide its ties with the intelligence services of nato countries trying to take a place closer to their masters in washington and london. the long shadow of kids,

european partners, was felt all throughout the months. long communications. why are we doing this? so that next time guys like you could come to us and fulfill the same mission, it's only possible if you confirm that everything is okay that you came and received the reward you were promised to by our governance. this amount of money's on much for our governments, plus our european partners will agree to this that you are paying partners, were aware of another condition of the deal at pot for money key as also promised pilots and their families, citizenship, any european country. 2 passports were even issued one slovak in and one romanian, the ukrainian intelligence incorporation with its allies in europe, preparing the documents for the pilots, wives in advance as a guarantee ukraine promised safety not only for russian purley spent for their families to can might trust them here it should be understood that as soon as the

members of the russian pilots family leave russia, they immediately become hostages in the hands of ukrainian intelligence services, methods of blackmail, threats, and pressure and relatives have long ago become an integral part of the activities of ukrainian intelligence that there are no moral or ethical restrictions for them . they would simply kidnap them. the fate of another potential participant in the operation was also vague. in any crew, flying bombers, there are several people. and the ukrainian side was especially interested in. they asked you 34 and t you 22, but what to do with the navigator? keith had a solution. when you could look upon it, i was asked to knock out my co pilot. what would happen to him after that is not clear. even if he would have been kept alive, bustamante justice shall come upon us for the navigator. we're currently working on the question of medication because there are other options besides cloth alone. he

need to know exactly when the pilot drinks coffee. before he gets on the plane, there are medicines that kick in 30 to 40 minutes. so it's very important to calculate the time correctly. sort of the effects of the medication may change due to the caffeine. so it would be better to drink some water after the coffee the drug key is proposed. it's hard to come by in russia, the ukraine inside offer to provide the pilots with a madison to drug their navigators. their contacts left the bag in his secret place outside a town in southern russia, deer, an especial operation, led by russia security services. that package was discovered. ukraine claimed that navigator would be safe, but it wasn't forthcoming on the details of how that would be achieved. in when you get grocer, i have nothing against him, he's become a hostage of the situation,

so he'll be safe, of course, on our territory. we'll exchange him as a prisoner of war. it is a matter of time between one week and a few months. then with the ukranian side, still believing that the operation was a success and expected the russian jets to wend on their air filled russian security forces made to big holes, came public as if to say that the game was officially up. meanwhile, in the dom bus, heavy artillery far exchange has intensified across the length of the phone line. the russian defense ministry says the artillery together with long range missiles have hit a large number of targets on ukrainian territory, including control sensors, ammunition, defoe's miniature hardware and a ship in the ports of a desa and little guns republic. our 3 units have been using shells filled with leaflets, urging cubes. forces to surrender. ortiz a saga, her dia visited once the units fighting bridges on, on the dunbar. frontline with artillery play in the crucial row. the quin enforces

are bombarded daily including with these $122.00 millimeter shells containing propaganda leaflets let on an intense artillery battles are currently ongoing between our lu ganske forces and the ukranian military. what a shilpa shot. the la guns can republics militia forces are now showing the ukrainian army and neo nazi battalions with propaganda. shells calling for them to surrender and explaining how to do it the right way to save their lives. and the joint forces are now advancing on the don bus fronds deep into the dpr pilot. ukrainian forces have few options to choose from. surrender, withdraw or be completely destroyed. the acadia drones and recognizance devices accurately locate enemy positions which then become targets for the uh, tillery. oh franklin, but of course, of course, we're trying not to miss and we're doing very well with the artillery fire coordination is working just fine. at present,

it is difficult for us to advance further. keith's forces are using cost of bombs against frontline villages and cities as russian led forces approach. the advance continues in the direction of severs solid are in our tell mosque and now from egypt to the republic of congo, the russian foreign minister has been soaring. the african continent, the global few crisis being one of the key, talking points as he held several high level meetings love landed in congo earlier, and is the 1st ever visits of a russian foreign minister to the country in both russian. i'm soviet history. later on monday said the lover of is scheduled to hold folks on a number of issues with his. com believe colleagues the russian foreign minister 1st stop on his talk with cairo where he held folks with his gyptian counterpart. and after that meeting level of stress, the importance of bilateral ties, while egypt top diplomats other africa, is free to choose who does business with the most law in we have good relations with russia with you and we got our relations with them to advance our interests

all countries of africa have sovereignty and are free to choose their own policies, including foreign policies in the interests of their own people. but we are both happy with the development of friendly relations between russia and egypt, which had a progress in according to our agreement on comprehensive partnership and strategical operation. we share the desire to develop our interaction in all areas. now level strip becomes as us politicians rung alarm bells of what they call riches spreading influence on the african continent. something they say would jeopardize us interests during his visit to egypt to love him to the west. already attempted to sub latasha meeting with members of the arab league hughes leader. he also met during his toll hello you. when i was on my way here, a protocol was shown to us that was distributed among the diplomatic corps by the secretariat of the league of arab states. this protocol concerned the protest made

before the legal verb stays by a group of western ambassadors from the united states, france, germany, great britain, and the representative of the you. it demanded that our arab france firstly condemn, and secondly, reject all actions that russia is taking. it said it was impossible to sign any documents with us or take any pictures with us. despite a ledger to western attempts to put pressure on the arab league states, the meeting in cairo got off to a friendly atmosphere with their gale of rav getting a warm welcome from over 20 representatives of the league. earlier my colleague union o'neill got some insights from human and labor, right slowed down kovachick and political science professor, margaret bought ross on africa's political stance. and why the west been so concerned about his ties with russia ego. he's leading the african a stand for mom, alignment at the language that the east and west understand is

national interest of the country. egypt to adopt a very balanced stand between united states, the west in germany, and russia and the east. as a matter of fact, what we have witnessing now is a confrontation between the east and west. surrogate for off recently said western ambassadors called for our oblique members to condemn russia not take pictures with russian representatives. what we've seen though is pretty much the opposite with very warm reactions from his counterparts on recent trips. does that really just putting the spotlight that the world is bigger than the west? absolutely. i mean, since the conflict in ukraine began, we saw this that really outside of the u. s. canada, western europe, japan and australia, the rest of the world either supported russia or, you know, were neutral. and the developing world, in particular, in africa, asia,

latin america have actually increased their ties with russia since that time. so i didn't think, yes the world is bigger than the west. i think most of the world is higher to the west. the west has been looting africa, for example, for centuries. and, you know, they're looking for other partners of the u. s. really. what is it brought to places like africa in the middle east in recent years, war and destruction? you know, and so i, yeah, the world is getting bigger. we now see a multi pale polar world in blue. and places like africa and taking advantage of that is, should russia doesn't have a colonial passed on the continent, unlike many of the others who are criticizing moscow for, for this very trip right now. does that make

a difference for how they can build relations from here? the fact that there is no colonial baggage with moscow, this will be union back in the 1950s, did support all pollutions against lonia powers in the middle east and africa. the african countries and countries made the eastern engender, believe that russia is a genuine ally. it doesn't lectures the world and the african countries how to adopt, what didn't back in the market to see us wants what it's always wanted out of africa, a monopoly over africa's resources. right. and they want to have ultimate military penetration into africa and simply put the u. s. doesn't want any competitors in africa to take any resources. and it doesn't even want the africans

to use their own resources. often wrapping up his visit to the republic of congo, love rove, will travel to ethiopia and uganda. and of course, our correspondent will bring you all the latest on the visit as it continues bought him in the landscape, cold to brazilian president j. a both scenario to join in sanctions against russia appears to fall on death is as the brazilian leader again, that his country is not going to change his current position of equal corporation with all countries. those little rumors that we will not adhere to economic sanctions, we continue our balanced position. if i didn't have this balanced position, do you think we would have fertilizers in the country? brazil has faced condemnation from the united states and its allies over its done on russia. the country's president not only refused to impose sanctions, but also met with vladimir putin, despite warnings from the white house. brazil however faces serious economic challenges relates to inflation and a decline in economic growth. some reports indicate that over 30000000 people faced

living in hunger as rising fuel prices way on the approval ratings of president boston. are you seeking re election in october? i grew business is a key sector of the economy and the government is trying to establish trade agreements with russia for the supply of fertilizers on the purchase of diesel. we discussed the pressure on brazil with our guest election appending election in october. many brazilians lane both scenario for worsening economy. the most depressed sectors. the father law goes the historically, marginalized afo, brazilian population. the definitely bull scenario is not thinking with united states in the state department needs right now. it's thinking about what boston i don't need right now. this is not 1991, not 2003. the century of american exceptionalism is over. we're going to see a more sovereign brazil or more sovereign south america. imagine

a state department right now. united states and see latin american mainly brazil, a spark of his gay, hopefully its game. i mean, we are in the backyard of united to say, united states have no help, a glass in america overdue to arrive in better condition of goldman. what the united states do is business and business for corruption and business through over throwing a government that are not allow you to them and business through dictate their sheep. over in europe hungry has joined brazil in criticism of unseat russian sanctions. as care of accused the countries prime minister, victor alban, of spreading russia propaganda sanctions didn't shake russia. it's a classic example of russian propaganda. we should make no bones about it. europe is in an economic crisis, not because of sanctions, but because of russia's hybrid war. this comes as victor all been said,

the sanctions against russia have failed and hit the u itself. he also stressed the only way to end the war is talks between moscow and washington, however hungry stunts as well as his foreign ministers. recent visits, moscow received an angry response from a you politicians on the media. hungary was already actively undermining due unity and is now actively helping russia and democratic governments have no place around the european table. kick hungary out of d, u and nato. let ukraine join both. instead. there is no reason to keep hungry inside you and nato. if it's systematically serves as the best russian trojan horse inside of our allied institutions. budapest has refused to impose an embargo on russian fossil fuel thing. it just can't replace them. the international monetary phone warns it's stopping the gas float from russia would plunge hungry as well as the republic. i'm the back here in severe recession. that's is the you faces

economic difficulties with the annual inflation rates getting a record of almost 10 percent. and last week, the euro felt a lower value than the u. s. dollar for the 1st time in 20 years. so to george, some well, a fellow of the global policy institute of london points out that albany was opposed to the use policies from the outset. hungary has regarded the even native policy of continuing a war that basically can grant when considered that is absolutely foolish policy and above all it's one that is the destructive. busy for europe and any particular or hungary, which is very reliance on fuel from russia. but he question believes that it's been a disaster for everyone in europe. he's now really saying that this cannot go

on. it's just a very dangerous disastrous policy that nato and the union are involved. so rob for this our, for more on any of those stories do, check out our telegram on our odyssey channel. my name is peter scott, and thank you for watching. ah, a wrong one, i just don't know any new world that you have to shape out. disdain becomes the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah,
