the european union have a death wish it would seem so rampant 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 to protect our homeland silver and c 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. election president announced the true build up claiming it's necessary to instill the defense of the nation with a piercing, went on to claim the west is fighting collectively against russia. but moscow has the capabilities to this film. so ahead nobody can move. 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 locos in the don't boss say they're ready to make their voices heard of people there and then ukraine cast on those. yeah, regions are set to hold a referendum to joined russia in the next few days with a variable and welcome to you. it's 3 pm here in the russian capital, and this is all t international with the latest it world news update is good to have you with us. and i thought about putin's announce a partial military mobilization in russia during a televised address to the nation. she learn yup, hiding them 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. the degree for the partial mobilization has been signed and will begin today, september 21st. my colleague my to me, me till till i t 's, maria finacialow about what the mobilization means, the russia and the potential implications of the upcoming referendums. been dead. hey, we've had the russian present just tells us this morning. of, or do you make of the whole statement i had used? how do you see it? yeah, i moran air 15 minute televised page early on wednesday via my potent announced partial mobilization across russia. that starts tray to wave white report and added, stressing that only those who have combat experience or military specializations, those 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 going to the front a be having additional special military training. and i have to say that this statement didn't come as a surprise, as moscow has repeatedly been warning key about a number of red lines bed and ought to be crossed. but as you know, things at the front have recently been very tough. and just recently ukraine with huge support of its western allies with a lot of western weapons and a huge number of foreign fighters on bear side, i started counter offensive and a huge part of how to complete that had been under the control of the russian forces and united forces of people's republic of danielle van login's, the same spring, has been taking back a forest. this is something that russia cannot ignore, ignore and light repugnant, sad that while he, if seems not to be ready to stop, it's an necessary stat mobilization. and also he said that this is actually

a duty of russia. let's take a listen. when you motion premium, we cannot let and we have no moral right to hand over. people close to not have to be torn to pieces by execution. you have to respond to their sincere desire to determine their own fate. the parliament of the people's republic of dom battling, as well as the male true civil administration of the care saunter, ends up rogia regency and de, to hold referendums on the future of these territories and turn 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 in sup, rogia, in the kernel region. in august and on as they have seen and are seen the atrocities committed by neo nazis years in the occupied areas of the target regency . so these layers of been deborah and nasty, punish her skilled people,

the torture on throw them into prison, to settle scores, and mach civilian way. we deal with that. but also sticking out to 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're now talking only about 300000 people mobilize. and he also emphasized that university students and those were 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 in your fancy spread, to how keep the rain take him territories and provide additional control over these regions. you know, i said more of a security thing that with all these sort of an, amid the mobilization of military to the region that could change the status quo of the is it's sill emergency operation. a wagner put in a stress that the status of moscow special military operation on the ground does not change with this recent announcement that will continue according to the plan.

and while wide more potent sad, the west is actually sticking to wiccan rush and eventually actually destroy a russia, the aim of the russian operation on the ground is to counter these africa in my report. and also reminded that the russia did that already in the past. and will do it again, stopping all those seeking to control the world. let's take a listen. what grandma wouldn't had to say, who is in our country, possesses fairies, whereabouts, and in some components they are more advanced than what nato countries have under threat to our countries. integrity, to protect russian, our people 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 that boomerang will hit them back. i have to say these are strong words and a very serious warning and defense minister said again, shall go. also talked about that so called collective west is currently fighting on

key had side and out at least 18 may to set lies a currently at ukraine service. so russia simply cannot to sit and watch this large scale operation against people off the dumbass region and eventually of russia. just watch it now, so they have to stephanie. meanwhile, the russian defense minister also gave an update on the losses of both the russian anti cranium forces, claiming care troops had been hit hard. a party at this time ukrainian casualties are more than a 100000 people. we haven't said this before, but i believe it has to be mentioned. during the operation we have lost 5937 soldiers. as for mobilization or total reserves amount to $25000000.00 people, partial mobilization would be one maybe 1 point, one percent of the total number of reaction from the indian army veteran on foreign affairs observed that he believes western leaders need to be taking the moves by russia seriously, president putin, hester requested for

a martial mobilization, which shows shows that he says, oh, absolutely, very dear and serious illness, sir. a stated aid that is a limitation of the disputed areas within. okay. defense minister said jane was in fact the ill be peter fitting that it is just to one bus and of the game probably be russian mobilization. give ability, that means you can leave my example if that was to do what do it when? if i were a 1000000, the russians are ready for water. this should ring a cautionary bill for the missed an issue, in fact missed emissions them since i do a lot while you say is, i don't believe, you know, wanting to see how the outcome of what is happening with that decision. the safe distance. it should, they're not very much affected, but you have been countries are extremely concerned about early end of water because of the, you know,

distribution our teeth corresponded. mike can see everything. one of the regions where referendum will be held. he sent us this report. this is be long since i'm coming at this point. it is worth bearing in mind that the situation on the ground has, has changed rapidly compared to what it was, what russia but god, this conflict. but it went to ukraine with professional contracts on the which is less than 200200000 met. at this point, the military hardware that you crave out of 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, ugly name. it is paid for by native. it is fed by nato countries with aid for various organizations. it dissolved almost entirely with what it has received from nato countries. and this continues,

the goals of the russian special operation in ukraine may be the same. the d not supply the country to disarm it. to protect the people of la, god's can and the nets, the dom boss. but the parameters have rapidly changed. boucher has realized that needs more to when this is conflict at any reasonable time frame. also here in capsule, it is apparent that the front must be shifted away from, from cities and populous areas because this rain of missiles does it n american hi, most missiles, most of all, most a shot down but, but most of course isn't all, many of them lad and can saw the nova focus where they are, where they hit residential buildings, apartment buildings, and the dumbass to this endless shelling his has robbed people, people who were even pro ukrainian when russian forces and that many of them are

rethinking their positions. because of because of this, this wanted bob, bob, bob, by key of forces buses ah rushes pushed for mobilization is evidently of effort to win 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 up with new soldiers train the great britain north in european, in european countries. new armies raised 4 key haven't paid for by naval. so certainly a very big development. and that being the be she, how quickly was fresh, russian forces will enter the fray. while i say i gave her thoughts and i guess to andrew cripps coming moscow based american political analyst. many thanks to joining us on the program. it's nice to see, you know, as you probably know, we've been focusing a lot on there are some presidents addressed to the nation,

which happened 9 a. m local time this morning. did any of what president pearson had to say? come as a surprise to you. you know, personally, i didn't find a surprising everything is consistent with what he said in the beginning of the special operation on the 24th of february. and anybody goes back to the kremlin website, he re read what he said at the time. well, pretty much see that he's just updating everything in the present concepts. so what exactly has changed in the past over the past year, and it is exactly as has been accurately reporting nato is fully supporting ukraine . ukrainian armed forces are literally ukrainian only a name and blood only. everything else. nato was born if not indigenous, their military industrial complex, but completely destroyed by the end of march. this isn't just so called fake news or a russian propaganda. this was admitted by ukrainian or senior presidential adviser, alex arrested that at the time. so we know that this conflict could have been over

by the middle of spring, hadn't not been for nato unofficially intervening. you keep going. so face with such are changing strategic dynamics and tactical dynamics on the ground as well. it makes sense for president would consider having this mobile is ation of russian reserves. and it also makes sense why the people in some of the regions that used to be part of the crane no longer want to be part of the same form or quality. it is trying to bomb them to smother reading the part of nato's proxy. we're on marshes, so we basically see that president responding to these events. we're now with in his control. it's not an escalation, but rather or reaction you escalation will come depending upon how and more importantly as western needle patrons decide to respond to these moves. so how beneficial do you think this partial mobilization will be for russia on the battlefield? i think it is very important for russia to have a mobile is ation. because thus far, we've seen that if we look at casualty count as the most recent confirmed by

defense minister survey psycho ukrainian thought a lot of people. but it's still continues to keep fighting. and it's doing it because you crane us up with democracy that the west preventing it has always been a ball the in decatur ship. this is bria, urban terrorism, pop, really known as euro. my dad succeeded in the army military crew of early 2014. since then, in the initial phase of the con, like that most recently began in february with roger special operation. pretty much consolidated his dictatorship. i mean, to be against the government, essentially a legal and the even consider thinking any anti government thought could actually turn out to be for people in cray. so in such a situation to see which is pretty much run by the secret police, but the se you is able to keep rolling. i hate to sound kind of strange here, but they can keep growing. always need them to rush and brian ok. so the cash account doesn't matter, but yet, but just want to waste and make sense to rush to match. the amount of power rushing

has law considerably less than ukraine, but nevertheless, with all these recruiting reserves are being mustard and makes sense for russia to master on the ground. so i think it's very important for you to understand that what they feel they have accomplished or later. so call counter offensive. it is not going to be permanent. it's not going to succeed in going all the way through the legacy frontiers from before the start, the special operation, or even prior to 2014. but actually very well, it might actually end up being pushed back. if not, the winds will be frozen to see what happens. but i think it's very important for you to signal the key of in a classroom patron that no more. i mean, that's essentially a president dang. as you know. right now the cater deescalate. we're going to see what's going to happen, but the ball in their court. thanks for sharing your thoughts with us today. andrew trip to moscow base american political analysts. thanks for your time. thank you. now in his televised address, 1000 opinion expressed his support for the referendum financing the dumbass as well

as the cason and daffodils year regions. but when in the middle of his public than most of the parliament of the wagons ended in escrow publix and the registrations of these upper rogia and her son regents 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 wheel and make the decision about their future will support their decision. the voting will be held from september the 23rd to the 27th. we spoke to locals there who hope it will pave the way to peace because even the ballistic in lieu, i'll vote in favor of it. i have an extremely positive view of this is exactly what we've 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. 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 to worse 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. less than politicians have already lashed out a president. payton over his announcements on the referendum plans. let's get the take. now i've are taken here. we say rachel and mazda and rachel. nice to see. so,

reaction from the west stair. that was to be expected. i guess he as expected, the reaction of western leaders to the idea of a referendum in the russian held ukrainian territories has been nothing short of hysterical with terms like illegal, an sham being thrown around. take listen, now he limit. no. russia must hear that they cannot impose wishes through military means, even through so called referendums in shall territories, which are now occupied. members of the security council should say, this loud and clear. a members of this assembly should support us in this path for peace. from this stage i call on you and member states to act so that russia renounces war and assess the costs for them. but also for all of us in order to stop his aggression. this isn't about choosing size between the east and the west, or between north and south. is about the responsibility of those who want the charted to be respected and a most precious value piece. the you strongly condemns the illegal referenda in

lieu hans care san and don't, etc, which are in violation of ukraine's independence sovereignty and territorial integrity. and in blatant breach of international law, results of such actions will be null and void sham referendums have no legitimacy and do not change the nature of russia's war of aggression against ukraine. this is a further escalation in putin's war. the international community must condemn this blatant violation of international law and step up support for ukraine. these western leaders are the same ones who shove their policies cooked up by technocrats and brussels down the throats of european citizens. so it's hardly surprising that they'd be against the notion of self determination. they're questioning the democratic legitimacy of any referendum in those territories. and that's pretty rich coming from the same people who brag about censoring media in their own countries. citing a need to control information flow particularity during election periods and go out

of their way to smear populace candidates running for office in their own countries . so that the only real choice the voters have in their own so called western democratic elections is between housebroken establishment lapdogs. western leaders didn't seem too concerned with the territorial integrity of europe. when u. s. lead nato blew apart yugoslavia and carved out kosovo from russian allies. serbia, at the time you as president bill clinton said quote, i believe we have quite a good chance of achieving our objectives of the return of the coast of ours to live in security with the measure of self government. so how is that any different from what russia is now facilitating for these russell phonic regions? the west is also slamming the idea of russia, mobilizing military reserves. home russia has ordered a partial mobilization and is thus pursuing

a further escalation of this war of aggression on ukraine. violating international law, a bad and wrong step again from russia, which we will, of course assess politically and advise on how to respond to it. clearly it's something that we should take very seriously because, you know, we're not in control. i'm not sure he's in control either. really. this is obviously an escalation, shomberg surrender and mobilization are signs of weakness of russian failure. the united states will never recognise russia's claim to purportedly and next ukrainian territory. the mobilization and calling for a referendum in the don yeske is all a sign of panic. his rhetoric on nuclear weapons is something we have heard many times with full and it leaves is cold. we're talking here about mobilizing russian troops to serve near rushes own border. the u. s. in its allies,

notably the u. k. and other members of its, quote, coalition of the willing, sent hundreds of thousands of reserve troops half way around the world to iraq and afghanistan. no one said that was a sign of weakness or that it risk provoking an escalation. it was a demonstration of former republican u. s. president ronald reagan's classic doctrine of peace through show of military strength. the west has been collectively, relentlessly, bullying russia like a group of mean kids in a school yard. and like every bully, they always seem to be shocked, surprised when someone actually pushes back who's making say, want to take contributing rachel moss and way too many thanks for that. now, so be an american journalist, nobility. same mileage believes the west has no right to criticize the self determination of the people of the 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 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 dawn 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 newland got to a point the new government and all of a sudden all of those calls ended. it absolutely did not matter what kind of force

a new government he was against. it suddenly became perfectly fine to burn people alive and odessa sent tanks upon absolutely peaceful protesters in harcourt, and elsewhere. and then declare war on dawn best. oh, absolutely. i mean, the west has been using us 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, it's fine for this arbitrary political unit to succeed. but it's not fine for ethnic groups who declare their own units the seed unless they're the units that we like. like the obedience 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 dead. the west is no longer the soul 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 like at the u. k. now where the central city of birmingham has become the latest witness and violence, muslim hindu clashes and the trouble fled outside a hindu temple between local indian and pakistani community. so have some footage of the clashes as they happened. the me let's get the details now from ortiz, runjun sharma, runjun. thanks for joining us. could you take us through these classes between muslim and hinder communities that seem to be spreading across the british cities? what's the story behind them? they probably aren't blocked off the you have been in the grip or on best go to see

die forgot group saw now young man from india, whether off the song have been last year with me to send england. what has the going about? was me essentially the quick math aware in the office on the 20 off and not that we thought class should recall. josh, doctor dropped in thought dotted with our lists are in fact let me tell you that both the india and sockets on our extremely passionate about cricket. what's happening right now is not normal by y'all. so we're seeing with you that are coming or man why mom johnson gave a low with for essentially what,

what although or of the this not to be the tipping point and get to be a no more than a 100 miles off a mess. we the family of lester, stand in front of you, not only as hindus and muslims, but his brothers and sisters. we are saddened and heartbroken to see the eruption of tension and violence. what we have seen is not what we are about to say, given how the press might be eager to inflame relations between the communities. oh yes, and 5 to give you a little perspective, your boss is donny dock when they went to a foreign land of the norm rather than those remember india and talk on one country some 75 years ago. we have the same c, a c off. not in our lives,

not getting back to me by simply by the threat of the most in the in. so i stopped for now in the or something them, but the one of them is 15 people have been so far off. what is known for having is large hindu muslim das bro, with ever 1500000 indians and pakistanis in the country. how do you see that you're k handling these classes on? we've got the priority number one for the authorities and you,

you should be kept on the picture of the gathering. we, we remember the back of the warning looking india and i'm a but it was that was that if you want both of you know when to sharma. he's correspond that many thanks for putting this that report. appreciate and thank you for joining us here on asi international . as always, you can find plenty more of the latest news stories on our website r t dot com. so for me, for today, but we still will be here in 30 minutes with all the latest with
