organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. ah, moscow blames key of troops for the shelling of a detention facility and the danielle people's republic, killing 53 ukrainian prisoners of war energy rationing measures kick in across germany. as the use top economy seeks to lead by example, with european gearing up for a cold winter doing due to the backlash of their own sanctions against russia. plus don't to play with fire, that's the warning from china as president as the u. s. prepares to send its highest ranking delegation to taiwan in 25 year

with just after 6 pm here on the russian capital. and you're watching our international time donald quarter. welcome to the program. now to our top story, 53 ukrainian prisoners of war had been killed and 75 wounded in the shelling of a pre trial detention facility. and the danielle people's republic. masika was accused key of troops of intentionally targeting the site. and the warning following images are graphic you may find them disturbing. russia says the ukrainian military used american supplied high mars rocket launchers to bombard the danielle facility. 8 of its employees were also wounded in the attack and our corresponded roman culture reports from there. with these are just some of the body's offer ukrainian soldiers, which were killed by their own ukrainian army overnight. now these guys,

they've been killed by shrapnel in while these guys right here. their bodies have been burned as a result of a strike. beyond recognition, criminal experts from russia and from the dentist, people's republic are now working on documenting every single body of every ukrainian soldier. even on $911.00 ukrainian authorities insisted on using this place of detention. it was discussed previously said they knew perfectly well where the prisoners were being held and that's how they took the lives of their own soldiers. ukrainian army used high caliber high mars artillery systems when they struck this barrick just after 2 o'clock at night. now, there were at least $600.00 prisoners in this barrack alone. now, according to russian and defense ministry, this was a provocation on the part of the ukrainian army. was hercules organized, run

a force, a large number of ukrainian soldiers are laying down their weapons, as they know about the humane treatment of military prisoners by russia. this outrageous provocation was aimed at intimidating ukrainian soldiers and preventing them from surrendering was the walgreens to you. in the gloom, the ukrainian prisoners of war began to talk about the crimes they had committed on the orders of the ukrainian authorities. and after that they were attacked here. chia took these actions to gag those soldiers who began to talk about what was actually happening here in don bass. over the last couple of weeks, a members awfully nationalist as of battalion started giving witness accounts about that war crimes committed by them and their superiors. apparently, those war crimes that were commissioned by the highest authority in key. if, as the result, they were punished by high mars her to the reward systems. and these are just some of the fragments of that high caliber sho. well,

to get more on the story now, we're going to cross live to canadian journalist eva bartlett, who was actually at the scene of the showing earlier today. but thanks for joining us on the program. you're welcome. always seen now the kiev is accused russia shelling the site even though we've seen footage of us made hi morse rocket fragments at that scene. what can you tell us about what you saw there? i saw well it would have been a blood bath. there were still many corpses lying around, many corpus that had been badly what had been burned, so the cause of death would have been by, by dying, by being burned to death. other the other corpses had, would have been killed by shrapnel injuries. and there is a gaping hole in the roof of the prison where the present war were being kept. you can see i, you can see in that footage there the bunk beds. actually there are still corpses hanging from the bunk beds. they, the authorities haven't had time to clear the entire site. 11 thing those notable

outside where they were corpse and lying outside. there was, i don't know if i was russian or dpr soldier inspecting the body. so clearly he was trying to get as much information as possible i, my understanding would be that in order to be able to let the relatives let the ukrainian authorities know who the deceased were, so they could then informed the family. that's why my understanding are my my take on it, but the stench was overwhelming. i mean, if you imagine in that space, just tens of bodies as well as my colleague roman and, and as the dpr military, the commander spokesperson is said like, this is clearly an intentional strike on this facility. and it's notable by the way, i went to the a hospital that was treating some of the injured after going to this prison. and although we weren't able to go inside to see the prisoners, they were in critical condition. a doctor did come out and give

a statement and he said that the prisoners are in critical condition and they are undergoing surgeries, they're being given the medicine and the care that they need. and now i just want to point out the irony that russia is giving ukrainian presents, of, or medical treatment, no matter. you know, in spite of the fact that these are the enemy combatants and it is ukraine, it is caused that is inflicting there are potentially mortal i entries on them. so, i mean it's, it's just in light of everything we've seen from western and ukrainian media accusing russia of war crimes. here's a perfect example of an out and out war crime committed by ukraine with western weaponry. and it is russia that is mopping up the mass while, as you yourself said, i mean we're looking at a situation here where ukrainian, the ukranian military bombed its own prisoners of war on the russian side of the russians were actually trying to help these ukrainian p o w 's after the bombing, how do you think this incident is going to affect the morale among ukrainian troops

currently in combat? well, i mean, we seen many videos being shared on social media on telegram, etc, of ukrainian troops saying like we don't have support from you know, our commanders were being in some cases were being fired upon by our own. our army were being deserted, were being sent out to the front lines who are not equipped to fight our being sent to our death. so i, i would say their morale was probably already quite low. but i mean, this is just the next blow, i mean a day even they were again, ironically, and in safe hands and in russian imprisonment because they were being kept safe, they were being fed, et cetera. but nonetheless, they were targeted by their own government. i mean it's, it's, it's, i can't imagine they could have any morale at this point unless they're me know, i don't know, strung out on any number of drugs or intoxicated. another means i don't know how

they can continue to want to fight for this government that, that won't even protect them. will given the kind of unconditional support for ukraine, we've seen from western politicians and the kind of one sided coverage we've seen from the mainstream media. what kind of reaction do you think this incident is going to evoke from both western politicians and the media given that they've had the audacity to claim that it is russia bombing done yeske and russia bombing, gar lufkin, russia, bombing, other areas of the done next people's republic and the lugens people's republic. i imagine the way western media is going to spin. this is just insist that it was russia that committed this act of terrorism and that killed these ukrainian prisoners of war. i can't imagine they're going to report honestly, they haven't reported honestly on anything. and if i may, i just feel the need to mention on that. not only is the media complacent and in the dots, have not only done boss to billings, but in this case, the korean soldiers their complicit in that they will not tell the truth about it.

but then, suppose it media watch groups like reporters without borders, that is supposed to be protecting journalists. they, i have a clearly one sided bias, slant pro ukraine, anti russia. anything. and they're great now appealing to silence and censor russian media when it is russian media and independent media on the ground here that are actually reporting are ukraine's daily or crimes against the civilians have done yet. a dumbass, i'm sorry. and again, in this case, against ukraine's own army. just one more question here for you will, eva. russia's defense ministry's position, of course, is that this was the provocation, aimed at intimidating ukrainian soldiers and preventing them from surrendering. what do you make of that? i mean, that's possible, we've seen similar things in syria, we had in syria a terrorist, whether there are al qaeda for syria, army, isis, et cetera, intimidating civilians from it wouldn't be the same as surrendering. but from

crossing from terrorist held areas into syrian government areas intimidating down by threats that the government would rape or execute them. so we, and we've seen the same kind of strategies that have played out in syria being played out in ukraine and, and in the don bass. and i'm, and in that i would say like, for example, the use of civilians as human shields. as we've seen in many instances throughout the dumbass throughout liberated areas, when civilians have been free to talk and speak of their experiences at the hands of both ukrainian army and the nazi battalions on. so i would say, given all the parallels between how terrorists and syria have behaved and how they view civilians and, and thrown them, ah, you know, at killed them, tortured them in prison. them i oh, and ukrainian, a soldiers and nazi betimes have done the same in the don bass. i would say it's, it's definitely within the realm of possibility that ukraine did this to sought to

ya to prevent any further surrender. but i think also, i really think the ministry of defense is point that you crane did this because these, the prisoners of war were speaking about their crimes and the crimes that were committed on orders from top down from kiev. i think that that's probably the most likely scenario, perhaps a combination of all and wanting to i intimidate any future soldiers from surrendering and also wanting to intimidate and the future soldiers that have surrendered. and from speaking about the crimes they've committed and who ordered them to commit such crimes or a canadian journalist, eva bartlett, she was at the scene of the deadly shelling of a p o w facility in virginia earlier today. thanks for joining us on the program. yeah, thank you. now, key of directly ordered the distribution of video material that showed the murder of russian prisoners of war that's according to a member of the ukrainian neo nazi as a battalion who served in the unit press service. a warning here, this man is

a prisoner of war and may have spoken under duress good before the 24th of february, even before the start of the war. we received an order from the president's office to create an information campaign with shock content on the brutal murders of russian prisoners of war. when the war started, we started monitoring ukrainian media and the information field. and we noticed that these videos began to appear. i think these instructions were not only given to us, but also to other military units or organizations. as i understand this information campaign was created to provoke and say war movements in russia. but this campaign caused a negative reaction worldwide, because these are war crimes. later, the order to suspend the campaign was given. i don't know who was specifically involved in this in our unit, but the videos as i understand were collected. and i know for sure that all the video materials, all the flash drives and hard drives were destroyed upon leaving as offs, towel, and pull me affordable. chun from his cut, the beginning of april,

had some point we were accompanied by as of fights as if he went to the north of boucher where we had to distribute medicine. so at some point we even stopped by the hanger, we had to hand over a box of medicines for the as of unit. when we were in this hanger, we saw literally 30 meters away from us. all the cars drive of which they were rushing soldiers within us to get out of the hang of faster than i had. schultz fired at russian prisoners of war. i saw how these prisoners of war was shut, the lower extremities. in fact, it was the 1st war crime than i personally saw would be. as soon as we saw this, we would have to immediately pack how things and leave it was very fast. when i was returning the call from the passenger seat to leave, i had someone say, officer officer in russian. a more of the offices he once was immediately shelton, the head. in fact, the mom was executed. what good as i left, the hanger, i saw this execution you beveled off with the un has lashed out at poland, unequal treatment of refugees from countries other than ukraine,

a top you and human rights expert pointed out that war saws double standards approach had prompted a sense of discrimination, even for those that have fled the same war, although all were accepted for entry into poland and have received assistance from the states. 3rd country nationals are not protected under the same legal framework . un, un officials comment came at the end of his official visit to poland, bella roost. and the border area between those 2 countries and called on polish authorities to stop locking up migrants near the beller roost border and put an end to the very different treatment of ukrainian and non ukrainian. refugees comes just days after the same criticism was leveled against the lafayette of a report by amnesty international, exposing the country's mis treatments and even a legend torture of migrants coming from bellows. the adoption of human and labor rights lawyer dan colic told us that the unequal treatment of refugees in an e is an e u wide problem and is deeply rooted in racism and anti migrant sentiment across

european societies. now we've seen this since the beginning of the conflict. do you remember the video of people trying to get on to a train imogen trying to get on to a train and they kept african immigrants off to let the ukrainians on. i mean, this is, you know, the product, i think of racism that are deeply ingrained in these european societies. and it's hard for me to imagine that some criticism by the un or amnesty international is gonna alter that. poland tends to get a pass, i think, because it is so staunchly pro western an anti russian for which you know, suits the desires of western europe and the us just fine. and so they tend to turn a blind eye to, to these sorts of things saying it says that they're pretty anti migrant at this point. and i think we've seen that over time. and again,

we've certainly seen it in the case of people trying to come from libya on these boats that are turned back. people been allowed to simply die in waters are headed towards your so i think. busy of this is part and parcel of very anti immigrant sentiment in europe. again though, we have to acknowledge that that is most of the refugees that are coming into europe are from conflicts that were created by europe in the united states. and i would say if you're a doesn't want refugees, they should stop engaging in wars that create refugees. and of course, even in ukraine itself, nato. there's a huge responsibility of for the conflict beginning germans are beginning to literally see and feel the energy crisis with street lights being switched off

toilet paper shortages as europeans hunker down for a cold winter due to reduced energy imports from russia over the eaves on sanctions as archie contributor rachel marston, reports, citizens of countries in the european union and are already getting a taste of what life could look like under energy restrictions, even though the real crunch isn't expected until the colder weather arrives later this year. but already power rationing is popping up in some pretty surprising places as the eaves sanctions against russian gas start to bite back well against europeans and russian energy. giant gas krom also reduces flow through its north stream one pipeline by 80 per cent of usual capacity. citing maintenance issues, fear has said in among german officials, given the countries heavy reliance on russian gas in the city of hanover, for example, uses of public pools and gems risk finding. the water ice here than usual. and we'll have to take cold showers after their work out. and city officials start

imposing heating restrictions on pools and showers and public facilities. frankly, it sounds like a great vacation destination for our competitive swimmers, like me who always find public pools absurdly overheated. so see as soon hanover, but it would be amusing to see france try that as it takes nearly, he waive for many french to even remove their scarves. so your mileage may vary on these restrictions and don't even think of diving into a public fountain instead of a cool german pool. the city said that it's turning those off to save energy. the goal is to reduce our energy consumption by 15 percent. this is a reaction to the impending gas shortage, which represents a major challenge for the municipalities, especially for a big city like hanover berlin is also stopped lighting its monuments by the way. so 50 percent is the gas reduction target set by the u commission, but never states including france, spain, ireland, greece, malta, cypress portugal and others want exemptions in the event that push ever comes to

shove and it becomes binding. and over in bavaria, paper manufacturing officials or warning about the crunch, potentially leading to toilet paper shortages. yeah, you heard that right? real ones. this time apparently. so for our germans who irrationally ran out n t, the shelves of toilet paper and supermarkets, like pretty much everywhere else in the western world. right. as cov id sat in, maybe your little tester on there won't be wasted out for all. many employees in my company are already very worried. i can't blame them because if we can only produce 50 or 60 percent, the operation is not worthwhile for us. to be honest, i worry too. meanwhile, lafayette seems to be falling discreetly in the footsteps of hungry, whose foreign affairs minister has already in to new deals with russia for more guests in defiance. if you sanctions lobby as mean gas distribution operator is now admitting that it's also buying gas from russia just not from gas from latvia is

purchasing gas now? yes, but not from gas prom because there is no way for us to pay gas prom. we have a different supplier, it's kind of like france maintaining liquefied natural gas in for it's from russia in massive quantities. since the onset of the ukraine conflict, there is a public noise that some you countries are making about the need for unity and solidarity against russia. but while some countries are putting the sanctions into squeeze on their own people, others are already quietly going their own way. china's president has warned the us to stop playing with fire over taiwan as washington prepares to send its highest rank delegation to the disputed island in 25 years. that's the spite beijing's repeated statements that american involvement in china's domestic affairs is stoking tensions between the countries. meanwhile, taiwanese service men have taken part in annual military drill, simulating a foreign invasion. that's a, some us officials fear

a potential armed conflict with china over taiwan. at the same time, other american politicians are pushing for greater involvement in the region, suggesting the us delegation visit to taiwan must go ahead. ortiz rachel blevins has the details. united states appears to be moving forward with plans to send a delegation led by how speaker nancy pelosi to tie one next month. despite a host of warnings from beijing that the move would be a red line for china with you do we have repeatedly made it clear to america, our stern position against you was how speaker nancy pelosi is potential visit to taiwan? well, if the u. s. insists on going its own way and challenging the red line of china. it will surely be met with forceful responses, all in suing. consequences are completely borne by the us label. however, when it comes to red lines issued by other countries, washington has shown that it has no problem. ignoring that, after all,

that's why it refused to give russia any kind of guarantee that ukraine would not become a member of nato. despite the impact, the assurance could have had on easing tensions, but even biden himself isn't fully on board with policies plan. and it appears that the higher the chance of conflict, the more the hawks and washington support the trip. we cannot back down the face of these chinese threats if they think they can threaten us into merely not traveling to taiwan. it might in fact incite them and tempt them to go for the jugular anti one. if pelosi postpones, will cancels the visit, it will be seen as a u. s. climb down in the face of chinese indignation and protest and in a front to our friends in taiwan. as the speaker of the united states house of representatives, you should never have to ask a foreign dictatorship or the state department for permission to talk to america's friends and allies. so why is the u. s. considering this move now in the face of continued threats from beijing, well, there have been increasing reports of the bible ministration is concerned that

china could be getting ready to move in and take taiwan and the coming months. the only problem, even the mainstream media report have been forced to admit that u. s. officials have no confirmation that china is actually planning such move. 6 however, there is now the fear that china could follow through on its threats and retaliate . if the u. s. proceed with this plan to send a delegation to try one next month. and so the brinkman ship continues to mount threatening a major conflict between 2 nuclear powers as neither side shows any signs of backing down. former us marine and geopolitical analyst, bryan berlin, says the so called containment of china has been a priority for the u. s. for decades i think it is a provocation, reckless and unnecessary provocation. the united states is trying to go. busy to china, into reacting or i should say over reacting the window of opportunity for the united

states to actually contain and control china, clothes and chinese military capabilities continue to grow. year to year the united states continues to retreat from its gemini around the globe so that they're thinking, the thinking in washington is now or never. if you start a u. s. foreign policy regarding china specifically, you see this goes back decades. this desperate desire to encircle and contain china when, when they say contain they're talking about controlling and dominating china. and there was president biden himself who, who said we interrupt our scheduled programming to take a listen to rushes envoy to the us who is now speaking at a session of the security council on ukraine. let's listen in clips of how in liberated this a chance. the people living there came out on the streets and met russian forces on the forces of the people's militia with saint george's ribbons and with russian

flags. i would suggest that all those who have grown tired over all this time of ukrainian propaganda ferry told about the russian army that is allegedly terrorizing the local population. i would suggest that you look at these videos showing the reactions of real people, the tears of joy when they were last able to leave shelters and no longer needed to fear ukrainian nationalists. the reconstruction of the liberator territories is proceeding apace. thanks to our efforts. normal life is returning to my pal, where central water supply has been restored and electricity is being restored as well. in el p work has begun on the construction of a major water pipeline. and in lucan, sk itself. multifunctional medical center is being built the cruelty of the ukrainian nationalist. the indifference to those living in the south and east of ukraine has had a serious impact on the mood in these regions in georgia and has, on all blasts, people are lining up to receive russian passports. despite the fact that ukrainian

or 30 years are trying to do everything they can to intimidate as citizens and carrying out terrorist attacks against those working for the city administration and initiating criminal proceedings for people. moving over to russian citizenship, people are choosing the country that they trust, that choosing a normal future for themselves and their children. ukraine is losing, losing these people before it's i, as just as in the past, hitler last, the residents have done boss against him. the key regime in 2014 began of an elation the cube regime is trying to get vengeance even on its own service personnel who have acknowledged the pointlessness of carrying out these criminal orders and giving themselves up to have a chance of a peaceful life this morning. from homer's, someone, eleanor skinned on bus were shown from these weapons received from the united

states as a result of which more than 50 you can in prison were killed. however, this active intimidation only insides the mobilization, the motivation of ukrainians to give themselves up mass cases of refusal to fight to move among ukrainian army soldiers. the things we are seeing on a daily basis a significant role in this change in mood that i mentioned among those living in the south of ukraine is being played by the fact that the ukrainian forces are continuing their favorite tactic of using civilian infrastructure shelters. and places to deploy the heavy material. this attitude of the key of regime to their own people is testified by dozens of witnesses, who unlike the so called witnesses from the ukrainian and western investigations, aren't afraid to show their names. and the addresses they pointing to targeted

strikes for the ukrainian forces on civilian objects and the shooting of civilians which are then presented as the actions of russian forces. these staging, such as the, just like the infamous butcher, increasingly being refuted. and it's almost impossible to ignore that it's only our western colleagues who are not taking any notice of this, and we've become very aware of that, including at this meeting, british colleague gave an exhaustive list of the provocation. thank you very much for doing that. mr. presidents in the past month, we have seen progress when it comes to the export of ukrainian grain and also the axis of russian product and fertilizer global markets. on the 22nd of july, in stumble to separate documents were signed on this, which make up a package agreement. i would like to underscore that we were prepared to resolve these issues back in april after they were discussed at the meeting in moscow

between president for the prison and antonio. cherish but key of the west and backers tried to sabotage the package. nature of the agreements over emphasizing only the part that related to ukrainian grain. and this is even though, according to our data, this amounts to only around $5000000.00 tons to say less than one percent of the total amount of grain on the global markets. we thank the un secretary general and to care for not acting at the behest of the western camp, which in large part allowed these agreements to be reached. the signing of the russia un memorandum on supporting getting russian food products on to global markets. once again indicates that it is absolutely inappropriate to try and blame our country for the global food crisis that has been artificially created by the actions of western states and science of which we are seeing ever more evidently, on the 26th of july, the joint coordination center for the safe transport of grain from ukrainian ports

began operating with the involvement of participants of russia and ukraine. and with the involvement of you and staff, we trust that sue, in the stumble agreements, will begin to be implemented info. and the secretary general in accordance with the obligations that he has made, will do everything he can to alleviate barriers created by the united states. and the e u in the area of payments, insurance and logistics for russian freight. incidentally, the deployment of military goods and hardware in the port of a testers. how to going to do anything to support the implementation of these agreements. and we will continue to destroy these goods and objects as we did on the 23rd of july, when to ship whole period to ship rockets supplied by states were destroyed. nothing in this memorandum prevented from continuing to ensure the demilitarization of ukraine.
