seen so ramp and inflation growing energy and security, demanding unquestioning solidarity regarding ukraine and punishing democratically elected governments are only some of the blocks maladies. to make things worse, there is a dangerous leadership deficit with to protect our homeland silver and the territorial integrity and to insure the security of our people. i consider it necessary to support the proposal of the ministry of defense to conduct partial mobilization in russia. russian president vladimir, who's the nazi they true build up as they called it necessary to ensure the defense of the nation. also during his address to the nation, president putin, on the line that the west is fighting collectively against russia. but moscow has the capabilities to respond. also ahead. getting the both of them. i'll vote in favor of it. all these events have shown that we have one path,

the sooner the better. without russia we have no future. locals in the dumbass are ready to vote, and don't want to waste any time in doing so. people they're running ukraine's costanza for those. yeah. regions of that to hold referendum to join russia in the next few days with welcome to you is just to admit day here in the russian capital. and you're watching aussie international with the latest that well news update is good to happy with. now today, president vladimir putin and that's a partial, a military mobilization in russia during his morning address to the nation. she the upgrade him to protect our homeland sovereignty territorial integrity and to insure the security of our people. i consider it necessary to support the proposal of the ministry of defense to conduct partial mobilization in russia. i repeat, we're talking only about partial mobilization that his own citizens who are

currently in the reserve will be subject to conscription and only those with prior military experience. who have served in the army, they will also go through additional training with a degree for the partial mobilization has been signed and will begin today, september 21st. my colleague mark had me, may talk to without his maria the notion, i had explained exactly what the president, partially military mobilization means, the russia and what the implications are for the upcoming referendums in ukraine. big day we've hired the russian person just told us this morning. what do you make of the holes statement? how do you, how do you see it? yeah, hi moran and 15 minute televised page earlier. why they've, why reported announced partial mobilization across russia. that starts trade a wave. why? my point at it's stressing that only those who have combat experience or military specializations from the country's military reserve. and those who have already been serving military service here in russia will be mobilized. and also he added

that all those troops will 1st before go into the front a be having additional special military training. and i have to say that this statement didn't come as a surprise, as mostly has repeatedly been warning about a number of red lines. better not to be cross, but as you know, seems that the fraud has recently been very tough. and just recently ukraine with huge support of its west and their lives, with a lot of western weapons. and a huge number of foreign fighters on bear side started counter fences and a huge part of how to complete that had been under the control of the russian forces that united forces all peoples republic call than he has from the guns since spring has been taking back of course, this is something that russia can not ignore, ignore, and why report and sad that while he seems not to be ready to stop, it's and necessary that small boys ation. and also he said that this is actually

a duty of russia. let's take a listen. when you motion me mean we cannot let and we have no moral right to hand over people close to not have to be torn to pieces by execution, lose them. we have to respond to their sincere desire to determine their own fate. the parliament of the people's republic of don battling as well as the meal true civil administration of the course on ends up rosie regency. had decided to hold referendums on the future of these territories and turned to us to russia with a request to support such a step. was we know that the majority of people living in the territories liberated from neo nazis. we showed the primary historical lance of nub irosia to now i want to be under the oppression of a neo nazi regime, laser ins up rogia in the kernel region in august and on as they have seen and are seeing. the choices is committed by neo nazis. yes. in the occupied areas of the heart of regency. so these layers of been there are and nasty, punish her skilled people, and torture on throw them into prison, to settle scores,

and mach civilian way to deal with that. but i, so thinking after the president defense minister said a geisha go give a little bit more details on mobilization. he said that currently there are 25000000 people here in russia, eligible, former let mobilization. but we are now talking only about 300000 people mobilize. and he also emphasized that university students and those who are currently serving military service here, russia will not be mobilized. and he stressed that all those additional troops will go to the font up to take part a you a fancy fact to how keep the rain take him territories and provide additional control over these regions. i said more of a security thing that with all the sort of mid the mobilization of military to the region that could change the status quo of the is cilla military operation. in wagner put in a stress that the status of moscow special military operation on the ground does

not change with this recent announcement and will continue according to the plan. and while, while my potent sad, the west is actually into which in rush and eventual actually destroy a russia, the aim of the russian operation on the ground is to counter these african environment. put. and also reminded that russia did that already in the past. and we'll do it again, stopping all those, seeking to control the world. let's take a listen. what gartner wouldn't had to say was in our country, possesses varies weapons. and in some components, there are more advanced than what nato countries have under a threat to our country. integrity, to protect russian, our people, we will use every possible means and we are not bluffing russian people can be sure . those trying to blackmail us with nuclear weapons. they must know the boomerang will hit them back. i have to say these are strong words and a very serious warning, and defense minister said j show go also talked about that so called collective

west is currently fighting on key had side and at least 18 made to set lies are currently at ukraine service. so russia simply cannot just sit and watch this large scale operation against people of the dumbass region and eventually of russia. just watch it now. so they have to, stephanie, the russian defense minister also reported on the losses of the russian and ukrainian forces, saying that the ukrainian army has suffered major losses despite active mobilization on the flow of mercenaries to fight for keith. and over this time, there are casualties are more than 100000 people are losses of today are into 5937 men who died were speaking about almost 2500000 people. so b as partial model is ation, is like one percent maybe slightly more than that. 1 point one percent may be all the total number of our model is ation razor of the sports as well as

close lives. well guess dr. steven guy, a professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade, but he, thanks for joining us on the program. now it's not, i am local time this morning, the russian president address a nation as we know we heard. what are your thoughts on the his address? i think this address was long do, contrary to what is the common knowledge in the west about russia being constantly proactive and aggressive. i would say that russia was constantly responding to challenges that have been given. the crimea happens after the who did thought that was back by last year. the contract with the side wall of. busy the day after 3 to happen, i know about the animal is that was yet just before and

i happened then again, a rush, a started, it will read all racial ones. allegiance that a large scale operation was under way. and now i think that the, this announcement came, oscar e events are on the heart of arts on the front aware all sins. busy of foreigners, there is the part and in fact basically natal states are actively involved. busy people who are fighting where many of them were active in the armies of nato states and only re speaking regarding french list. so and joint. busy joined ukrainian ranks is mercedes amazingly. this was

a message mostly delivered washington and brussels and welcome or so under capitols o 8 nations. so i think that or russia is trying to convey a message that it will respond because what we've seen in the last 6 months is that nate was constantly pushing the borders i just was, was like testing how far you can go. especially when it comes to sending lethal weapons. what is really interesting for me is that president mac, ron. i had the audacity to hold boots in. recently a french a sees are canons were were killing people and they were used. i guess the civilians have not,

i guess i'm really 3 targets and i think that was what made to have in mind this all or mac wrong to try to persuade. then you delay this decision that parents address it does cosi follow news that referendums would be held in don't boss kennestone is apollonia regions. do you think that the news all these referendums, and of course, those eventually being held late this week will change the military operation from russia? it certainly will because now every kind of military activity by a foreign military, including ukrainian, will be illegally seen by russia as of the attack on their soil. and so i do believe that this is a big game changer. and i think that many, i mean,

if we missed more from the, on the ground, we're actually saying that this is needed because other simply wasn't enough. rosabelle to the ground is that russia came in today idea of special military on operation. whereas whereas natal directly escalated this object of a higher intensity, which meant that russia would either of you know. busy humiliated completely, or that part of the game accordingly. speaking to dr. stephen and guy, a professor at the institute of european studies about great may, thanks for your time. i appreciate it. thought he's corresponded mike garcia is in the region which the anticipating the referendum. any percentage this report?

at this point, it is worth bearing in mind that the situation on the grounds has, has changed rapidly compared to what it was, what russia but god, this conflict. but it went to ukraine with its professional contract on the which is less than 200200000 met. at this point, the military hardware that you crave had that the south of this conflict. almost all of this is gone, replaced by what nato has supplied the ukrainian military. at this point. he's the ukranian military, only name. it is paid for by nato. it is fed by nato countries with aid from various organizations. it is armed almost entirely, with what it has received from nato countries. and this continues the goals of the russian special operation. and ukraine may be the same that the knots of fide the country to disarm it, to protect the people of the gods can. and the nets,

but don't boss. but the parameters have rapidly changed. boucher has realized that just needs more to when this is conflict at any reasonable time. fresh and you can also hear it. so it is apparent that the fredric marble shifted away from, from cities and populous areas because this rain of like cells does it n american high bus missiles. most of all, most the shop john but, but most of course isn't all, many of them lives in here so nobody can focus where they are, where they hit residential buildings, apartment buildings, and the dumbass to this endless shelling his his rog, people, people who were even pro ukrainian when russian forces entered many of them a rethinking their positions because of because of this is wanton bob, bob, bob, by key of forces rushes, rushes,

push from believe zation is ever desi. i've effort to when this conflict, sooner rather than later to prevent the nato and the and ukraine from, from dragging it out with supplies of new weapons with new, with new soldiers trained to great britain, north and european in european countries. new armies raised 4 key, evan paid for by navy. so certainly a very big development and a bench that be she, how quickly was fresh, russian forces will enter the fray to continue our discussions on the matter. last class i to turkish political scientist, owner gazelle tongue. many thanks for joining us on the programming. so it's good to see. now as you know, of course, we have some president putin in moscow, 9 am local time. what are your thoughts on what he said to the nation? a 1st a fall, i have to say that be our living historical days. and these are statements,

or far president putin and also defense to mr. show go. i represents, ah, it became a router in our, in the recent, the history off of humanity about these statements. i, there are the important points, the 1st is that and by this, the statements of the understood that, i mean, that's a, by the statement that the, a divorce between russia and the vest are become official. and to now we were talking about kind of a military conflict between russia and ukraine, showed that there were some comments about that, the rest of the sport grain and all these. but by this statement was now all divert, understand that this is not a conflict between russia and korean, by divorce, between the, between russia and the with collect the 1st,

the 2nd important point that it, by this statement. we also understood that russia a, consider this voice as kind of an existence one, but i mean, in the case of a defeat for russia and there will be normal, right, chain them in the, in terms of today that, that we also, we can find this point in the state of prison and deterred important point is that russia is ready to use all tools to win this for what kind of response do you expect from the west and also from p as t pearson statement, particularly with comments like and this is a conflict between russia and the collective west, how do you think that respond to that? i today, this is a sporting grain by always, by military way, by financing them all and by the media also. but we have seen that that's not

enough. and now a rush chart, which in state opened it, it's the address is war with west, but i think that europe is not capable enough to move forward in this, hopefully. but sure that united states will make new steps like it even possible that nuclear publications. but i think for europe are that they have no more energy to put a forward or make any steps forward. in this conflict with news of referendums to be held in the dumbass, says apollonia, and cast on regions at ty, is there anything the west can do or key as can do to counter the referendums? i think after these referendums, these territories will become

a part of russian federation, the russian federation. that's the 1st point. secondly, after this is if around those, if that there are any in attacks for these territories, moscow probably will consider it as a, as an attack to his integrity. and the most school could you like i, we think may experiencing some technical difficulties. i yeah, we're going to have to and the interview that i think we've been speaking to earnest in on gazelle time. many thanks for joining us on the program. appreciate it. now the russian president touched on an urgent topic as be making headlines in the last 24 hours and expressed absolute support for the referendums announcing the don't pass as well as the chess on. and i for those yeah, regions. nice. i take a look by lemons, this metal, this is quibbling them mustn't the parliament of the wagons and the desk republics and the registrations of this approach yet. and here some regions have made

a decision to carry out a referendum about their future. and they appealed to us, russia to support this decision. we would like to emphasize we will do everything to provide safe conditions to hold a referendum so that they could express their will and make the decision about their future will support their decision that they don't. yes, angela ganske. republics, as well as to agents in ukraine of announced they will be holding referendums on whether to become a part of russia. voting of the don't. bass republics and ukraine's kiss on anne's appalonia regions will be held from september. the 23rd to the 27th. we spoke to local flat and they say this could pave the way for peace. seeking the ability to loo, i'll vote in favor of it. i have an extremely positive view of this is exactly what we'd been waiting for since 2014. our people have suffered a lot for the idea of joining russia. all these events have shown that we have one path. it should be done as soon as possible,

so we hope that no one will attack russian territory. i will walk in favor because it's time to become part of russia who have been wait impatiently for e t is. we're tired of the whole situation. this region must return to its home. the time has come, so the decision must be made. i will vote yes so that there will be no more shelling and everything will work out so that we live as we did before. we've been heading towards this for a long time, 8 years. it should have been done a long time ago, and very happy about this. i think life will become more stable. there will be protection. maybe the war will, and sooner i'll vote in favor of it. we've wanted to return home for a long time since 2014, the sooner the better. without russia, we have no future. we spoke to the head of these up at all, she a regent who said the authorities will do everything possible to ensure the safety for those who want to express that will be she will want to literally you usually look up a sheet. i'm sure that i see donations. will i drive

a rounds up hiroshi region and the vast majority of residence colt hold a referendum as soon as possible as they want to join russia. we don't want to be some grace and we don't want to become ukraine again. we want to become a part of russia, as we historically always have been. it was decided to hold a referendum in such a way as to avoid a mass gathering of people. that's why the referendum process will last several days. everyone will have the opportunity to devote if necessary. we can collect votes from citizens at home. this is necessary so that zalinski lead saboteurs won't be able to fight on and shed the blood of citizens who just want to express that will to be part of the russian unity. everything possible will be done to ensure security. ukrainian authorities have worn locals this any such referendum if the bidden, as they say organizes will face up to a decade in jail and to anyone who participates in it will be imprisoned for 5 years. my colleague will research i spoke with a panel of guests. they said residents in those regions that won't be to tie from voting because of such threats. in the guns. absolutely. absolute. my jury

is certainly standing for what we have fighting for, for 8 years here. to get full recognized from the russian federation and, and to get back home. that is the mood what has been here for years. and it has been defended against the brutal attacks of the kill forces court of people where awaiting that for 8 years. so people are really impatient to be able to voice their choice. and but of course people are a bit afraid about the security because we have the massacre which are cured in, in the center of the net, just due to a shooting from the ukranian army. so there are a lot of questions about that from people, but people are really willing to, to voice their choice. i think it will take place correctly and legally because

it was the desire of the people off the don't back to have me if i was really mentors hearing this is seal shanghai corporation organization. if the funds are on back there. greg, of nice if. if the breach countries will recognize that and so that we can get to the movie. ready world ukraine says the referendums will change. nothing. is that really the mood and no, no, i see him from the information we have from ukrainian telegram channels to. there is a mood of fascinating the president to cabinets in bunkerville because of course, i understand that the front line isn't after the russian territory. they mean that russia, i can officially declare war against ukraine for them. you mean the last 6 months would have be in the like a nice pass in heaven compared to what to weighed them. several western leaders

upsetting response that they will not recognize the referendums, frances president, cron slums. the plan votes as a quote, power the of democracy. well, german chancellor shaw says that the international community will not acknowledge the results. serbian american journalists, not the only knowledge, told us that the west has no right to criticize the self determination of the people of dumbass. nobody in the e. u has any moral right to call out anybody's democracy, given that their whole process of unifying the government and expand its authority, was defeated in referenda in france, among other things, other places. and ireland had to vote twice until they got it right. and then nobody was given a choice at all. so you know, the, you giving anybody lectures in democracy when they're basically a non democratic superstate is, is a parody of democracy right there. but secondly,

it's interesting to me that these people obviously don't recognize democracy and don't best because they don't recognize the people they're as human. because i remember very distinctly in 202013 early 2014. the west was very strict about the government and you have, you know, don't use force, don't, don't, you know, violently suppress them. i don your respect, human rights. and as soon as victoria newly got to a point, the new government in kiev, all of a sudden, all of those calls ended. it absolutely did not matter what kind of force the new government used against. it suddenly became perfectly fine to burn people alive and odessa sent tanks upon absolutely peaceful protesters in harkell and elsewhere. and then declare war on dawn best. why? so luckily, i mean, the west has been using to, you was love the model to break up for soviet union. and then, you know, try to, you know, it's talking about breaking up russia and it's also selective standard. you know,

it's fine for this arbitrary re political unit to succeed, but it's not fine for ethnic groups who declared their own units the seed unless they're the units that we like. like the albanians and coast of oak, though it's one of those, it doesn't matter what, like, it doesn't matter your category, you could be a republic or a self proclaimed autonomy. the only thing that matters is the west on your side or not. again, the whole point of this entire year has been that the west is no longer the sole interpreter and creative rules on the planet. that is the message. that's not my message. that's the message. moscow has been trying to send. and jurors met with a whole bunch of other leaders in summer khan, and they seem to be on board with the program for more of the latest news updates. you can keep an eye on our website r t dot com, but will be back at the top of the hour with the latest news. the

ah, ah ah

ah . does a european union have a death wish it would seem so ramp and inflation growing energy and security, demanding unquestioning solidarity regarding ukraine and punishing democratically elected governments? are only some of the blocks maladies. to make things worse, there is a dangerous leadership deficit. a new choice, medical address for the mobile blog post that is to make sure i keep a twinge, quit document on the bus. and then i think the bench is for me,

but you want to push me with a previous month, a demo with my plan. there's no good function code or you are in the picture where he's using this tool. we'll just go to the grill guard. sharon and scars the property go what color is it? i've got the new talk with more when i did this can. but if i make a. 5 let's put a boy e. yeah i would have made because i thought if for the last no, with a, with a little with, with a little.
