it relies on the position of the african union. we never wanted to how with the wolves as tool to the fire. from the outset, we wanted to keep dialogue with both countries to look for a way out based on the go. she ations complete. both countries ministries spoke to the press after their meeting, during which they also agreed to develop military and health care times between the nations circle of roth said moscow handed over at test to diagnose monkey pox. and as well as the cleaning crisis, the part also discussed the other international conflicts, including the israel and palestine situation on what's happening in libya. the circular rock touchstone in the central western african nation on sunday evening and was greeted by the con, the least foreign minister on monday, he held talks with the countries president dennis new guests and handed him a personal letter from his russian counterparts. love him here. put on the talk in

the republic of the call, got mark the 2nd leg of the foreign ministers african tour on sunday. he was in cairo on the 1st stop of his 4th country trip. after congo he travels to ethiopia and use gun. minister le ralph diplomacy push comes out. american politicians have been ringing. alarm bells over what they call russia's quote, spreading influence on the african continent. something washington phase would jeopardize us interests. during his visit to egypt, circle of ralph hinted that the west already attempted to sabotage his meeting with members of the ra blake whose head he also met yo 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 wilson, ambassadors from the united states, france, germany, great britain, and

a representative of the you than it demanded that our arab friends firstly condemned. and secondly, reject all actions that russia is taking what it said. it was impossible to sign any documents with us or take any pictures with us reduced. while despite alleged western attempts to put pressure on the arab league states, the meeting in cairo was conducted in a friendly atmosphere with russia's foreign minister getting a warm welcome from more than 20 representatives of the union. r t contributor rachel marston has been analyzing the position of the u. s. on the e. u on africa. africa has long been taking for granted as a western stomping grounds. humanitarian aid and the global war on terrorism have typically been used as pre tax for the u. s. and as european allies to swoop in, within, i, on africa's natural resources. and to give you an idea, just how much the west considers africa as it's turf to the exclusion of global

competitors. lateral has previously spoken of kind of telling exchanges between himself and both. his french counterpart, former foreign affairs minister, john eve, led to the young and e, you chief diplomat, joseph burrell, william wicker, my dear colleague, john ye larger young as well as joseph burrell. in september 2021 told me directly that russia had nothing to do in africa, neither by state means nor by private means. because africa is an area of interest of the e u. and from the super lunar. the problem for the west is that is spent years pratt falling all around africa and african seemed to be getting a little bit tired of it. france was leading an e security mission to take cuba task force in this a hell region of africa since 2020. but it was kicked out earlier this year after it failed so badly at stabilizing the country that the missions host country malley underwent to cruise. clearly a resounding success for the showcase of what

a european union military alliance could achieve, which is an objective that has long been voiced by french president, a mentor at my home. molly has since turned to increased cooperation with russia on the security front. and it's a trend that we're seeing all across africa as western countries failed to deliver . and washington is reacted, and it's typically subtle fashion to its loss of influenced by both threatening and trying to bribe african countries at the same time, the countering malign russian activities in africa act introduced in congress back in march. target's african governance officials and businesses doing business with russia. it qualifies such dealings as manipulation and exploitation of africans sells a lot leggy countering russian influence in europe and eurasia act of 2017. that led to the demise of the german russian gas project. nordstrom,

to and from which we're all suffering here in europe now as citizens, sa, scramble for energy at high prices. it also sounds a lot like the countering america's adversaries through sanctions act, targeting iran, russia, north korea. and you know, all this legislation effectively just deters other nations from dealing with america's geopolitical competitors. and no doubt that's by design at the same find . the g 7 group of western allied nations pledged a $600000000000.00 plan for africa and latin america last month. so what do you think the odds are that the west will allow countries to both take that money and also to do business with russia and china? it really does seem like an effort to compete with china's belton road initiative in the same regions, but well to day late and a dollar. sure. it already smacks of desperate attempts to keep africa squarely in

the western sphere of influence. as growing multi clarity, opens up their options. russian energy giant gas problem is to take one of its nord stream one turbines offline for routine maintenance. that means starting from wednesday, gas flow to europe will be cut by nearly 50 percent. it comes as a european union is seeking to mitigate the effects of plans to cut off russian gas supplies. according to some reports, a number of members of the block are not on board with europe. schools to reduce energy consumption by 15 percent and are asking for significant exemptions. some you countries have reportedly proposed the block work guided dependence on rushing gas before consumption cuts are recommended. the amount of gas in storage should also be taken into account strength and use states which supply the gas neighbors are also said to be on the exemption list, as well as europe's chemical and steel sectors. and that's all as germany

industrial plants there have already reduced their production due to record high energy prices, some $560.00 companies making up 16 percent of the german industrial sector are affected. meanwhile, the hungarian prime minister is raising the alarm over the worsening economic situation in the european union, seeing the block strategy and ukraine, us back fire in the war. the western strategy is based on 4 conditions. the 1st is, the ukraine is not alone, and it needs anglo saxon instructors for the country to win the war with russia using nato weapons. the 2nd is sanctions which should weaken russia. the 3rd is the aftermath of sanctions, which we should have handled, but russia could not. the 4th element is peace that we could have built. instead, we are sitting in a car that has punctures in all 4 tires. it is absolutely clear that the war cannot be won this way. will independent journalist lucrative a believe that the

e u has no other option, but to ask russia to restore supplies. as winters approaching. the european commission thought that they had to come up with a sort of rationing plan for the winter, because everybody knows that we don't have enough gas. and if russia cost gas supply, we are really into dumps. and then with the 50 percent proposal of european commission said, and we would be the commission in charge of putting up sanctions on the member states that would not get the 15 percent. this is, you know, impossible to swallow to most countries to be cutting. it started and now they are discussing, let's say, behind closed doors, because i'm not really happy with each other. i think they will have to find a way to say we will buy more russian gas. so make sure that our leaders in europe are more, more into deep thinking. they just decided on their emotions. it seems at the

beginning. ok, let's sanction russia will bring russia to which these, while it seems, is not russia, which is on. it's nice, it's more european countries starting with germany or i turning attention to pakistan. now, another country that is not embraced the western trade blockade of russia, the president of the pakistan business for him saves the commercial community. there is looking forward to growing trade ties with moscow. the forums had adds up the russian market harbours, huge growth potential for pakistani exports. but current bilateral trade is hampered by banking sanctions imposed against russia, as well as under develop logistic routes between the 2 countries or pakistan's export to russia were about 200000000 dollars last year. but the forums chief said that could grow exponentially in the near future. to 2800000000, if at trade barriers are removed and textile,

agricultural medical sectors. in particular however, international lawyer and global affairs, as some slum shot believes the new government in this law above may not take up the opportunity because of american pressure. i don't expect much from the current current government. and the reason why i say that is because in my view with this government has come with a specific agenda, which is to undo all the good work that had been done by the former prime, the state and wrong on who had extended price to russia. it wanted to expand montana to create with russia. it's unfortunate that they see it as a 0 sum game because for them appeasing washington d. c is the be all and the end goal of their entire geopolitical outreach. as you know, diplomacy is a delicate balancing act and one relationship should not be exclusive off the other . it's not, i don't or you can always have a relationship at all to or more countries. we live in a month and after good. you know, i always give the example of neighboring india,

which has maintained a close relationship with russia, which is a legacy of the last few decades at the same time, india has managed to get very close to us let west western alliance so. so it's possible to balance out both, but unfortunately the current government of august found to be viewed as a 0 sum game because they have been given a script. they have been told that you have to undo the work that was done by iran to the latest only conflict in don boston. on another. lethal developments for civilians have been killed by ukrainian artillery shelling, targeting the loop ganske republic, according to local authorities. the officials also choose ukraine up using us, supplied high mars missile systems to fire up the city of our chefs. while the russian defense ministry sees its high precision missiles destroyed an amunition store for the high morris systems, as well as american supplied howitzers. and they've done yet. republic,

russia made forces are now conducting a clean up operation of a local power station. staying in don bass, russia claims key of forces may be plotting to carry out a chemical incident in the ukraine, controlled and yet city of sloppy sky. in order to frame moscow. moscow ledges, $100.00 tons of hexane of a local factory could be target which would put the local population as well as surrounding areas. at risk of poisoning fighting is raging on the dom vast frontline with artillery playing a crucial role. ukrainian forces are bombarded daily, including with these a $122.00 millimeter shells packed with leaflets. let on intense artillery battles are currently ongoing between our lu ganske forces and the ukranian military. what shufa shot the lugens republics militia forces are now shelling the ukrainian army

and new noisy battalions with leaflets. shells calling for surrender and explaining how to do it in the right way to save their lives. the joint forces are now advancing on the dom boss front. deep in the dpr ukrainian forces a few options to choose from. they can surrender, withdraw or be completely destroyed. that okay, yeah. drones and reconnaissance devices accurately located enemy positions which turn into targets for artillery. that aren't in you, 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 to advance. further, as keeps forces are using cluster bombs against villages and frontline cities as rush and lead forces approach. the advancement continues in the direction of severe risk, solid r and r to moves to another of our headline stories today. r t has gained access to files that according to russia, security service,

expose the fail plot by ukrainian military intelligence. now, the operation involved attempting to steal moscow's military jets by offering a pay off to russian pilots to defect. but instead, russian f as b officers were on the other end of the line ref in austin, texas through the botched the fair in an exclusive extended report. they say all is fair in love and war and it seems, keith agrees, it's army has been losing territory weaponry and personnel in russia's special military operation to the great disappointment and surprise of ukraine's western partners whose support and financing have been enormous. so he crane has been trying alternative 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 fetched

the highest 3 ward and 1000000 u as dollars. but when there were no volunteers, keith took the initiative itself. for months, the ukrainian military intelligence services have been trying to contact a number of russian combat pilots. why? to persuade them to still rush and fight dads and lend them in ukraine. homer for us, the most important go of this event is a piece of military hardware and the person who is defected to our side. north, explain to you that our goal is an airplane. you understand this perfectly well, and we're ready to pay for it. it's written in our parliamentary website that we will officially pay a $1000000.00 for such things that we can negotiate with you or not. the median. i guarantee you to reduce the miracles with these actions. i had to show my negative attitude towards the leadership of the country to motivate the fight 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. the ukrainian side thought 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 company. how did they find and contact trash and pilots for won't ukrainian. intelligence can obtain information about russian services from the internet. photos on uniform with military equipment in the background, some comments on professional topics or their reason to turn it to the user. the act in 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 key if introduce themselves as well as who they were ukranian intelligence to earn the russian pilots trust they acted and professionally exposed the identity, their whereabouts, and also shared some strategic confidential information. you must good, they believe so much in 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 if side to with his russian colleagues. he discussed technical details of the flight and safe corridors, including precise maps and schemes. young o'clock, even though i gave your root 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 pats will give commands for brigades to band shooting a targets for one hour in one direction and the other. that's when russia security force as discovered, they were dealing with specialists with exclusive access bush. we will make 3 entry points for you one and the character varia. the other one remains the same as before, and we will make one south of denounced. when he cross our 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 will track you. but key if needed, guarantees to, to ensure that the russian pilots were real and actually had access to the jets. that's key if wanted them to steal the ukraine inside asked for a video next to specific airplanes their number as agreed in 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 are the last 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 haste, the grocer and bulgarian journalist had of the billing kat investigative news outlet known for its close ties to the british intelligence service. am i 6 go

over grossi? have told me, well he didn't actually explain anything to me. you just told me the name of the courier who would deliver the money by train. i'm overwhelmed with emotions. i'm furious with cristo garage. if i trusted him as a man who would never betray me, i would never have thought there would be such a dark 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 ukraine in, i mean, is there a feeling that ukraine was not the only one behind this operation broke? obviously, the operation itself was carried out with the support of western and primarily british intelligence services. we know about group service involvement in m, i. 6, not only from 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 shadows kids, european partners, was felt all throughout the months long communications. why are we doing this? so the next time guys like you could come to us and will heal the same mission, it's only possible if you confirm that everything is okay that you came and received the reward you were promised by our governments. this amount of money isn't much for our governments, plus our european partners will agree to this. the, you repeat partners were aware of another condition of the deal, a pot for money. keith 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 pilots spent for their families to can won't 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, 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 the ass you 34 and t you 22. but what to do with the navigator? here had a solution. when you could look upon it, i was asked to knock out my co pilot and what would happen to him after that is not clear, even if he would have been kept alive,

hostile money chances shall come upon them. as for the navigator, we're currently working on the question of medication because there are other options besides chlorophyll and you need to know exactly when the pilot drinks coffee. before he gets on the plane. there are medicines that kick in and 30 to 40 minutes. so it's very important to calculate the time correctly, sort of, or you know, 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 of proposed is hard to come by and ration the ukraine inside all for it to provide the pilots with madison to drug their navigators. the contacts left the bag in his secret place outside a town in southern russia, deer, and his special operation led by russia security services. that package was discovered. ukraine claimed the navigator would be safe, but it wasn't forthcoming on the details of how that would be achieved. i think it

will grow, so 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 airfields. russian security forces made to be holes came public as ave to say that the game was officially up. maria finished that with a report. now a story, next of a musician who swapped art from munition to protect his new don boss. or short documentary theater of war begins in moments to stay close. ah, ah

no one else shows the wrong one. 0, please. just don't hold any new world that you have to say, proud disdain becomes the applicant an engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah,

the more so we're show you the most all or so for is you do with russia is the aggression know his answer much about or i need a key was for the teacher was collusion. wellborn here we have any quality for washington. all we gotta do is just read them over the head and just tell them the right way to live here is going to do with a boy with this phone number listed with a lot of nice gloves with national has been used to be a for the new sure wouldn't junior, they don't give us with

kids in our season at the washer to work. so i was at the watch with ah, with we've she and we've been a week. so we're showing a little who has recently been diagnosed with cynthia chicago and then also to move the quin company out the so please. so mr. ashley with this mission of property in putting me on that list. what are those products that
