hello and welcome from the r t studio in moscow. pleasure to have you with us from wherever you may be watching. i'm fuel is about with the top news stories this our 53 ukrainian prisoners of war. i have been killed and 75 are wounded in the shelling of a free trial detention facility and the diagnosed peoples republic. a warning the following images are graphic and could be disturbing. moscow has accused have troops of intentionally targeting the site using american supplied high marsh rocket launchers, saying calves the top was aimed at intimidating. any ukranian troops who wants to lay down their arms here. meanwhile, claims russian forces target at the prison. so moscow could accuse ukraine of war crimes and hide quote, the torture of prisoners of war. those wounded in the attack were taken a don. yes,

city hospital where some have already undergone surgery. one fighter from ukraine's notorious as of italy and who was undergoing treatment there right now. shared details of the attack with us with approximately midnight. a shell hid the place where we were. it all happened very fast. the 1st strike was literally next to us. and the 2nd was right, were relieved. the blessed was so strong and powerful. everything caught fire. we started to get out. i started to get out. i felt a severe pain in my stomach and fell to the ground waiting for whatever would happen next. everyone, if it was possible for them, started to leave with those who were able to help helping others. i was unable to. i was locked in pain. i was just trying to get out earlier, my colleague donald quarter, interviewed canadian journalist, eva bartlett, who was also at the scene of friday's attack. this is clearly an intentional strike

on this facility, mom and its 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, did the prisoners are in critical condition? 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 the ukrainian presents of war, medical treatment, no matter. you know, in spite of the fact that these are an enemy combatants, and it is ukraine that is caused, that is inflicted there of potentially mortal i entries on them. here's a perfect example of an out war crime committed by ukraine with western weaponry. and it is russia that is mopping up the mass. 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 or in some cases were being fired upon by our own army. were being deserted or being sent out front lines were 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, they, even, they were again, ironically in safe hands in russian imprisonment because they were being kept safe, they were being fed, et cetera. but nonetheless, they're 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. we've seen similar things in syria. we, we had in syria on the terrorist whether they were 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 searing government areas are

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, are being played out in ukraine. the ukranian president's office has accused russia of orchestrating the attack and called on the u. s. to designate the country as a state sponsor of terrorism, that's just as the u. s. senate passed as a non binding resolution on the charge elena, of an act of terrorism by the russians. they launched a strike on the facility where ukrainian prisoners of war soldiers as all fighters were being held. now they are trying to lie by blaming ukraine. biden's administration has been eager to label russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, accusing it of such activities in ukraine, which moscow has refuted nancy pelosi, one of the biggest supporters of the allegation, has been pressuring anthony, blinking on the topic. but the official power to designate another country as such

belongs to the u. s. state department. we spoke to international criminal lawyer, christopher black, who says the accusation is pure, a full fake news conjured up to give the us the greenlight to americas objectives. the timing of the dis attack, this murder of their own troops is prisoners or, or the day after a few days after the resolution was passed and the u. s. senate is so striking. so, but nobody's going to believe that the russians attack their own camp and they would kill, or we injure their own personnel regarding and taking care of that camp administrating a cat. this insane no was going to believe that story. so it's quite clear that the key of regime is willing to murder its own soldiers to create propaganda. but yeah, i think be they probably will put rashana on that list. i don't think it means much practically in practical terms to russia right now, because there is,

as obviously as a war going on between united states in russia. but russia is not the only country dealing with such allegations, former president donald trump, but cuba on the list of sponsors of terrorism, the sub secret economic sanctions aggravating. he was already humanitarian crisis. again, christopher black says that the u. s. itself should be labeled a terrorist state, given its history cube has been under attack now since the revolution took place in 1959. and, you know, as you know, there was an invasion attempt in 61 of our withdrew the designation briefly. trump re imposed it, i didn't see any inclination for them to remove it. now, they're trying to squeeze cube or even worse, and they've done in the past of the situation in cuba is very dire right now. actually, it's an act of terrorism against the cuban people to designate that because it allows under american law, which is a legal, by the way to impose all sorts of economic warfare on the people of cuba and make their lives a complete misery in the hope that they will rise up and overthrow the socialist

government in cuba and put it back under the american, under american controls. and this is never gonna happen. so with the economic warfare is going to continue and every other type of warfare they can use against cuba and russia will continue. meanwhile, fighting continues on the front lives of the don bus with ukrainian forces continued to shell. the city of don. yes, from a nearby city of d f. r t israel mon culture of joys, atanya the peoples republic unit called sparta that has been countering kiev forces for the last 8 years. we are in a front line and done an airport along with the commander of the legendary sparse a battalion. how jerome is yoga. and right now he's going to show us the positions of the ukrainian army, which are a mere kilometer away from where we are at the moment, not to start on able to even you could, the enemies on the other side, when they have concentrated their large forces cold up their reserves and are

showing municipal buildings or schools, kindergarten. so ordinary city building their hit and the infrastructure of the city excited. you were now at the front line where you can hear the shelling, but it's not aimed at us. they are not interested in us. i was there shell in civilian mm. with currently heading up to one of the hubs or ration points here at the desk airport from where we should get a very clear view of what's going on on the other side. the standoff between the next people's republic army and the ukranian nationalist forces have been going on here at the desk airport for the last 8 years. ukraine has fortified his military

positions which are at the moment, mere kilometer away, can see the smoke arising. and this is the result of artillery all for the next people's republic who are pounding ukrainian positions on a daily basis. however, as i understand ukraine have cemented themselves on those positions and continue striking peaceful civilians off don, ask young a please to proceed with those. with the neo nazis are simply trying to destroy civilian and foster using western nice a weapons humorous. they are showing the infrastructure we're trying to beat us, put pressure on us from, bless, trying to kill the soldiers more trying to kill civilian listeners. ukrainian army is a shedding. the city of denette from of dave guy and from a pesky gun ask is just the kilometer away to my right. and right here in the middle is the dentist concern national airport,

which should back in 20 minutes and cost about a $1000000000.00 to build right now. it lies in ruins. and that remains one of the main positions from where the legendary sparta battalion are defending their citizens. for one call for f r t don't have to people's republic and made the ongoing shelling of non military targets by key of russia's ongoing to the u. s. as the supply of u. s. weapons to ukraine makes western countries complicit and more crimes. sure. but what i would like to draw the attention of the western delegations to the facts of the long range artillery provided by the u. s. allow ukrainian armed forces to reach areas behind the lines and the dumbass without any military logic and exclusively for the purpose of vengeance and terror against civilians. the representative of ukraine try to shift the blame for this attack on the attachment facility to russia. now he spent his time simply attacking russia and making accusations against russia. when he addressed the security council. there is

nothing that would deter russia from killing and destroying there is no un charter for russia or no geneva conventions for russia. there are no moral the strains to mr. lowell now, the ukrainian represented it was asking for more weapons to be provided to ukraine by the nato. a line country representative of russia pointed to the weapons that were used in the recent deadly attack. and pointed out that these weapons that the united states is supplying to the government of ukraine ended up in the hands, often of terrorists and extremist groups. and that there is a real threat to global security with the continued inflow weapons from the wagon into the hands of the ukrainian government and military with the law enforcement agencies of hungary. in slovakia found the whole arsenal of sniper rifles, machine guns and explosives and the hungarian settlement of reika located. and i

was dr from the main international. the solomon site in vienna. according to the detainees, the weapons were delivered to ukraine, intended for ukrainian arm formations, and then sold and delivered to the european union. united states and china both addressed the security council, presenting very different views of the conflict. for those countries which say that one country security should not come at the expense of another's. what exactly do you call russia's armed invasion? norman invasion of his neighbor. the staining attempts at a peaceful resolution by silencing its guns withdrawing his forces and in, in bracing diplomacy for countries which call for all parties to embrace diplomacy without naming russia. let us be clear. russia's ongoing actions are the sole obstacle to a resolution to this crisis. at

a time when the international community is in dire need of unity and co operation to overcome 2 difficulties together is extremely irresponsible and dangerous to quinn to their cold war mentality. unblocked politics promote decoupling on small yard unheard of funds to politicize. instrumental lies on weaponized, comic and trade exchangers to coerce other countries to take size and to deliberately create division and confrontation. we're differences express between major countries at a meeting of the un security council. the 16 member body that leads to the united nations sarah flounder, co director of the international acting center activist group says the main reason the west continues its arm supplies is to damage russia. from the very beginning and for the past 8 years, this has been a war on the civilian population. it's been on war 2 in every way. use ukraine as a proxy force against russia as

a way of breaking relations of russia with europe as a way of reinforcing nato and the casualties. the impact on the civilians is not even a calculation. it is a calculated use of terror on civilians and it's happened again and again, every stage of this war. and now we see the full harv, it's, it's children, it's seniors, it's those who are stayed behind who are being actually targeted. not the military forces who are able to defend themselves, but thus has been true throughout the war. and these are u. s. supplied nato supplied weapons and training. and it's escalating daily. germans are starting to literally see and feel the energy crisis with street lights being switch off along with a toilet paper shortage. as europeans hunker down for a cold winter,

due to reduced energy imports from russia over the ease own sanctions, artie contributor rachel mars then has more 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 eas sanctions against russian gas start to bite back well against europeans and russian energy giant gas from also reduces flow through its north stream one pipeline by 80 percent 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, users of public pools and gems risk finding. the water ice year than usual, and we'll have to take cold showers after their work out. as 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 of certainly overheated so see as soon hanner, 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 the 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 and t, the shelves of toilet paper and supermarkets like pretty much everywhere else in the western world. right. as cov id sat in, maybe you're a little tester on, there won't be wasted after 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 into new deals with russia for more gas in defiance. if you sanctions lightly 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 imports 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. american russia's top diplomats have had their 1st phone call since the start of rushes operation in ukraine. aside from the conflict in ukraine survey, live robin anthony blink and discuss the green export deal and a potential prisoner exchange. lincoln said he pressed the kremlin to accept a substantial proposal for the release of 2 american citizens currently held in russia. although moscow has not confirmed receiving any specific proposals. meanwhile, lab rob has said he urged the u. s. to return to professional dialogue in the form

of quote quiet diplomacy. he stressed that western arm deliveries to the ukrainian army will not only prolong the conflict. they would lead to further human suffering . former us libertarian party vice chair arvin flora says the bite in administration desperately wants to release basketball. player brittany greiner for political gain hawking is generally better than not talking. so, you know, it might be seen as a positive sign. i would say it best, it's very, very, very, very slightly positive. right now the button administration is getting a lot of heat from people who are basically saying you're, if you're working so hard to get an american athlete free from a russian prison for possessing drugs. why won't you do the same here at home? why won't you pardon all non violent drug offenders here at home and, and encourage other other governors, especially democratic governors to do so. so that is, is increasing that, that rhetoric in the united states is increasing. it's getting more and more fired

up. and they're desperate to do something less they'd be seen as, as hypocrites, in the way that they're acting. so we're seeing both the escalating domestic pensions and escalating for intentions that are kind of forcing some of these for lack of better word kind of half baked attention, negotiation u. s. foreign policy is again under the microscope after an a legit plan to smuggle guns to haiti as church donations left many people furious. the incident took place on july 14th when custom says it sees more than 20 weapons and around 15000 rounds of ammunition in a container sent from the us to the episcopal church of 80. the church, however, claims documents found with the shipment, tying it to the guns or forge local officials and un representatives have stress such illegal arms are a detriment to the country's security. amid growing gang violence that has led to hundreds of monthly casualties since 2010 earthquake,

the u. s. as it has provided over 5100000000 and assistance to haiti. the editor in chief of the i iaapa post website read. lord marin cor says the us should be tackling the smuggling of weapons to haiti, not contributing to it as its own reports show america's role in the armed gang violence in the caribbean state. the they own a us, just as the print reports from 2019 in the full sent that most guns which feeds in criminal activities in haiti comes from the u. s. so clearly there is a problem with guns coming from the country to countries. lady wouldn't have the, you know, systems or systems in place to, to, to filter them. and this is a problem that any 480 is a problem for me. going to cover for other countries in the current mean because the numbers coming from the justice department, similar to,

to do is over the countries in the, in the area. so the open way of dealing with guns in the u. s. that is also fueling crimes in this country is having an impact on other countries in the region, in countries. and this is something that they wish to have to step up and deal with because it's one thing to have a problem when you're there to read. but it's a one to have a conference, but at the same time, i think it's important also to blame the nation. that's very easy to blame, especially in the, in the, in the country. because we have seen actors but speeding in this traffic. we have, we have a high level people participating in the traffic and they do it in one hour because it's right if they can get money, a lot of money actually is from it. but in the other hand,

they do it also because that gives them power a trail south american countries have refused to join others from the continent in condemning russell's role in the conflict in ukraine. that's according to a declaration approved at the latest conference of defense ministers of the america, argentina, and brazil, in accordance with the principles that regulate their foreign policy, recognized the role of the u. n. in achieving international peace and security and considered this organization as a venue with appropriate authority to resolve the conflict in ukraine. the 3rd country, mexico has said it should not be the role of the conference to condemn russia's actions incited with argentina and brazil. in failing to criticize russia's operation, the trio joined china, india, and pakistan among many others. the conference is an international multi lateral political forum held every 2 years with $34.00 countries participating. we heard from stephen stoughton, a writer and community worker in nicaragua,

who says more and more south american countries are shifting to support a multiple are world, but by china and russia. busy what happened was that the leaders of mexico brazilian argentina dissociate themselves. i can't help feeling that i was an extremely good man because they were forced to publicly come off the fence. whereas previously, for example, in earlier this year in march and april in the united nations, countries like college and tina. and with the united states on lotions criticizing russia. can you give me russia for a special to chill operation? ukraine's as time has gone on countries like argentina, they've seen with true interest slowly. and it's very clear from the decision that you see from the defense ministers declaration

criticizing rushes operation in ukraine. those 3 countries are very clearly now aligned with the rest of the majority, if not openly, in support of russia, at least not only criticizing it apart from the big economic power houses in south america. you know, the whole range of other smaller countries are also choosing to gravitate towards the multiple world led by china and the russian federation. as a conflict in ukraine develops more and more stories of the challenges faced by foreign mercenaries who came to fight for ukraine. are emerging, many targeting the image of the ukranian army, an organization that is still being promoted worldwide. very few units are willing to push the lines forward again. most are burned out or wiped out,

scared or tired. the foreigners were being used as meet shields in the beginning. i suppose it's not the story people want to hear, but the gap between how the war is shown in the media and the reality of the place is kind of ridiculous. the lack of training and organization i was working in a hospital for a while, which was frustrating because outside of shrapnel injuries most of the injuries were related to friendly fire. after the conflict and ukraine broke out on february 24th, ukrainian president lat. amir zalinski created the international legion for the defense of ukraine, and called for foreign volunteers to join the ukrainian army. he of officials claimed that since the start of the war, some 20000 soldiers have joined the fight against russia. we spoke with adrian bouquet, a humanitarian volunteer in ukraine was seen up front. the challenges, soldiers face, 1000 confirming, said mostly, if you, i can confirm. moreover, that from what i saw, no one cared for the soldiers who arrived in ukraine, the volunteers not as foreign, but also ukrainians. when i arrived,

2 or 3 soldiers did not have bullet proof vests, and every 3rd ukrainian sold a had a hunting rifle in his hands. they did not have personal uniforms or 1st aid kits. this is the minimum, any fight should have a not only did they not have them, they had no idea that they should have them. when i was in ukraine, the military demanded, our medicines and medical equipment. we came to ukraine to provide assistance just to be medicine to civilians, but many of our medicines was stolen by the military and as of fighters. i talked with humanitarian volunteers and volunteers who came to fight against russia. some were initially against the russians, happy to fight for ukraine in order to kill russians. and some, such as a friend of mine, felt that the invasion was really happening, that the russians were killing civilians. but when they arrive, realize this was absolutely not true. and he decided to go home and those were the top stories this our be sure to follow us on our social media pages on instagram and twitter for more video content and turn into rumble in odyssey to catch all of

our programming, average phoenix. and the 2nd world war affected millions of people during the conflict, the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3 nations, the united kingdom, the united states, and the ussr that die in one day before the dead man tried christa peak up as norman. because hitler was weak and knew he would wake and he was bluffing. he was the major political figure, certainly one of the most prominent political leaders of the 20th century. where

they wish to report the germans of the germans or when we support the russians. and that way, let them destroy each other. there was that kind of sentiment in the west at this time. the redrawing of european borders had begun britain and the united states, and then just really planned to attack the ussr of britain to survive. russia had to be sacrificed. he is as doctor should be like a dish. davis mr. boy from us was the lot of some ricardo, capital and mitchell knowledge of knowing that the cold war had begun. ah, yes, mystery. absolutely.
