a with we will take serious steps to provide an adequate response, can measure it with the levels of threats to the national federation. no one should have any doubts about that. so i may put it in compare ukraine's actions primarily in crimea and other border regions to terrorism against russia, food and warns they will evoke a pouch response. now these remarks, calm as russia conduct an enormous missile strike operation on various ukrainian targets, including military command centers and energies. with both of us out here. one off you international minutes report that both the president of bela rose and russia

have agree to deploy a joint to regional military contention. what does that mean? explain more of the possible ramifications and all the details of just a moment here on this a right, it's just off to 4 pm on monday. here at moscow, we appreciate you joining us. but this alice program went out to you to national. so we continue without breaking news cover, a chair on our tea. vladimir putin has vowed a serious and reciprocal response to any threats made to russia. he made the remarks during a meeting of the national security council commenting on the latest round of miss saul strikes against ukraine. soon gilded on this morning, upon the initiative of the defense ministry strikes using high precision weapons from land see an error carriers were made against objects in the ukrainian territory was we will take serious steps to provide an adequate response to measure it with the levels of threats to the russian federation,

no one should have any doubts about that. so it was just about owner and the day that i rush, i launched dozens of missiles targeting critical infrastructure across ukraine. or the defense minister in moscow says all of the designated targets were hit. we'll show you some footage right now off the strikes me critical energy and communications infrastructure was struck in at least 15 cities and ukrainian officials report that 5 regions are currently without power. and present zalinski also confirm that crucial energy systems were targeted . now, as we understand a thermal power station and key f has been hit with large plumes of smoke billowing out of the facility there. as the landscape advisor reported that missiles had close to the presidential office and ukraine security services headquarters, of course, in the capitol authority say 10 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in keith locals having sharing footage and reactions to the miss all strikes. they

witness will put in there where the cities, thermal power plant has been badly damaged in a rocket strike. and now to the western ukrainian city of the off. now this much of footage shows a smoke caused by miss alice had to bear. we understand that city has been left without power and water supplies for now. well, correspondent, of course is eager to dine off. he remains in on bass. he can not take us through the major development of the strikes one ukrainian territory today. he's been following it all of this breaking news since the early morning hours. basically at least 5 ukrainian regions, whole regions have been completely cut off from the energy grid hand. i mean, this is just the tip of the iceberg. there are energy shortages pretty much all

across ukraine. now also, water shortages have been reported in many regional centers and smaller towns and villages. and again, the locals and the citizens of ukraine have been officially urged by the authorities to judge their phones in advance to get their power banks ready and to get wound clothes. because again, the situation is very serious. it's still under assessment, but it, oh, i can already say quite definitively that while the damage has been quite extensive, now it will take more than that. out with it. more than what russia has done to completely take out ukraine's energy systems and again, other facilities can be repaired, but again, russia can deal more damage with more strikes and the so the situation is very serious for the ukrainians and the well, they are panicking, it's safe to say in care of, we've seen massive cues, a people lining up to gas stations, trying to get as much petrol as they can. our people have been sweeping goods off

the shelves of the supermarkets, mainly canned foods and water because well again this, there are shortages of running water in the taps. this was something that the ukrainians had hoped to see in russia's crimea. after they attacked her after a successful attack on the crimean bridge, that didn't happen there. and now that russia retaliating while they're panicking, and that's despite reports that foreign and cia intelligence, mainly the british intelligence, had apparently, reportedly warned the key of authorities of a missile strike. being prepared in moscow, but well, even if they were indeed av well, if they were, if they indeed knew about the strike, i mean the authorities, they did nothing to alert the population about it. they woke up to air raid sirens, and many were just out and about doing their to stay going about their daily routine. i should say. so are the ra civilian casualties, of course. and there are people wounded,

nobody it did this attack did catch people of god, now for and now foreign powers are also reacting to the well to this missile strike of an unprecedented scale on the e. u is urgently pulling out. it's a diplomatic missions in the u. s. has urged all of its citizens to leave ukraine as quickly as possible. so to japan, we're expecting more reaction, as well as people are in the, in the united states wake up and as your, as the business day starts in europe. now, interestingly enough, russia used at least 5 types, may be more of munitions for this strike, including a russia's cal, russia, excuse me. we're including russia's caliber miss aisles. and this is interesting because we're an individual who's full in the are to the, to the charms of ukraine's propaganda. that would be a surprise for them because since march ukrainian propagandists have been proposing

that well, russia has run out almost run out of these caliber missiles. now today's strike proves them wrong. again, we're about to see as to what happens next. if this is a major shift in rushes of foreign policy in russia as well, just approach to waging war on ukraine or if this is just indeed just retaliation because ukraine has significantly stepped up a tax on russia civilian infrastructure in the past weeks they've been shelling russia's board, the towns and cities and small villages challenges people's homes, people's houses, or they even shelled a monastery. but the crowning jeweler of all this, so to speak was an attack on crimea. as bridget, it is more for rush for the russian government. it is more than just and for structural object, it is a symbol, a symbol that crimea is russia, is that it is part of russia. it is tethered connected to the mainland, and that russia is not going anywhere. so when ukraine,

according to the words of the russian president vladimir putin chose to attack the crimean bridge, well, it wasn't received well here in russia. he and the don bass among the population. so it is widely seen that today's strike is indeed retaliation. and basically moscow vladimir putin and the defense ministry showing that one ukraine and a few crane crosses more red lines. the reaction will be maybe even disproportionate but adequate. we were joined earlier by the former new zealand deputy foreign minister mat robson. he told my colleague, you know, neil, that the crimean coach bridge attack, for example, was just one of the reasons why russia had no choice, but to broaden its military response. russia has had to widen. it's response a that's understandable. the bombing of the, the attack on the, on the crime in bridges. but one aspect the build up and the constant flow of

arms and weapon training and intelligence by the united states and its allies to consciously try and widen the wool. i can see myself look, rushes, have no choice, so it's not just the bridge. it's the whole escalation, but spin, fostered by the united states and nato. i am reading that ukraine's presence lensky has issued a and national address, telling everyone to quote tick cover. but no military response has yet been announced. do you think mr. anson, that is ukraine waiting for the attacks to end? or for perhaps a policy decision by western allies, or is it coming up with a plan? how do you foresee the reaction here? is the latter are in the key of government is not a said independent government. the president zalinski has shown the he's, he's a pop up on the, he tries to pull the strings himself about, he's

a small that she's being directed from western governments. this escalates, it can no longer be a war for them by the ukrainian forces that you've been using. as kevin father in this conflict, quite deliberately, quite cynically. you've got to be facing, looking at, putting your own troops in there, escalating your own forces. if that is the policy that particularly london and washington follow, and i believe that also the other allies in the later camp will be very nervous at this escalation, which could of course spill over into their own territories. and from out rushes president has acquainted ukraine to that of a terrorist organization. he made those comments during the meeting of the national security council corresponded to its marina casa river. she's got details on what let me put and had to say that main gist of what he said today was that it was only a matter of time before russia responded to this one. and we saw this massive wave

of air strikes on the friend ukrainian cities, but he really emphasized and some does, in fact the terrorist nature of those in charge of ukraine now, so that people understand the reasoning behind that what we saw happen in ukraine. he excluded him, was a, the care of regime has long resorted to terrorist methods, such as the assassination of actresses. these journalists and scientists, both in crane and russian q. and this also included the terrors showing of the don best cities and also nuclear terrorism due to your killer shelly, are those up horizontal power plant? will you as media who benefits from these attackers? e, the care regime has plants itself, among the most a tories international terrorist organizations noticed you double the bottles, ios. now this of course comes just hours after us as chief investigator informed vladimir putin, that ukrainian special services were behind the terrorist attack on the bridge and premier. and also it was facilitated by not only russian citizens,

but also foreign citizens. they know who did it, they know their roots, they took, for example, the truck that exploded it came from bulgaria by p ga. then armenia through russia's north, the city of the cross and our region. and basically vladimir putin said that russia has had an african and now it will respond to any attack that happens on russian soil. and really, ukraine had it a long time coming because we're seeing ukraine, the tank rush in many ways. and vladimir putin actually accused you cray of nuclear terrorism. this is what he focused on and he brought forth some of the examples d get at least teach this up. there have been multiple acts of sabotage on our power plant as look it up several high voltage power lines heavily into effect in the beginning. the damage was contained as soon as possible, so there was no significant aftermath willow over. there was also a number of attempt to terrorist attacks committed on rush, interested in gas transport infrastructure. urine. so shouldn't be surprising that

in crane this morning saw their energy, military and communications facilities targeted and latimer, putin said, if you attack russia, get ready to be attacked back. that was the main message, the better russian president, alexander lucas shanker, has said that his country will deploy a joint group of military forces with russia. these forces have been formed over the past 2 days. the group mainly consists of bella, lucy, and soldiers. we were warned that key of has been planning to attack bela lucy and territory. it would be crazy from a military perspective for them to open the front against bella. ruth. but that process has already begun, considering that the threat level has comes to that this requires deployment of a joint group of forces of the union state of russia and bella, ruth flemister, and suggested that the troops coming from russia would not be significantly large. but i did, it would be quote, not a 1000 troops insisted that it would still be enough to tackle the threat against

his country and also ordered the nation secret service, whatever it takes to prevent a quote, terrorist attack in ballard space. it declared that ukraine would face a quote nightmare of the consequences if a dead to attack bella russian territory. well, let's learn more down, cross lots of canadian journalist, even off it and joining us here on the program today. a very welcome to you. thanks so much for joining us here on the program. and i'll see you heard me just commenting just now about about bella roost. a bella. ruth says it's potentially deploying now a joint contingent of troops with it's close to ally russia. i wanted to bring up a story on auto dot com. very, very recently quoting at bell russian official, mr. anatoly law, who's the chairman of the state border committee of bela rose. he says mister lap says nearly all bella ross and board of bridges have been blown up by ukrainian forces. not all the details are author dot com, but here we have the story. now that bella roosters is going to deploy a joint contingent of troops with its close ally russia. does this mean that bella roots could, could ultimately directly enter this conflict? do you think?

i can't really comment that much on that. i mean, it sounds like that's the implication, but this is all happening very quickly. so it's hard to say, i think it is important to keep in mind that this is not russian dollars against ukraine, but rather if it's, it beller is entering into the fray. it is against ukraine and although western countries, nato countries backing frame carbon back in the rain for a year or so, you know, alarm it's kind of headlines, might make it seem like like the crane is cornered by russia and roots. but it's really global conflicts that we're seeing, that if you think the branding people unfortunately, and the people in the boss as well as their cannon fodder. and they're the ones that are really suffering. well, you talk about a global conflict. i mean, there are 30 members, at least in nato 30 members there, and it's just about russia more or less by itself. at this point,

not germany said it's going to supply ukraine with one of the newest air defense systems. and then lithuania has been calling for more alms to be sent to ukraine. we just witnessing one escalation after another other, any cool heads who are staring this ship right now. i would actually say the russian leadership has been a cool that's, i mean we've seen people have been saying, why hasn't russia retaliated for months now, right. and particularly because the terrify from the bridge, then there was a lot of people asking what's gonna happen next. but i mean, i really feel like i'm here and done. yes, i'm in the bath. people here been thing for over 8 years. why? when is it enough? when you print stuff showing up and russia, the russian leadership did push for negotiations and they upped right until the session military operation began. there were options for kids to take a p 4 out and they because of their backers, because of their belligerence,

didn't take those options. i also, if i may, i want to say like i am aware that there are people in your brain must be terrified and i am very sorry for them. i really am. and i, i'm sorry for any loss of life that may have taken place already or that may take place in the future. i do not take joy in seeing that. and however, i will say that putting to one source i read it was citing ukrainian police. it was on our key actually thing 10 people had been killed. that is a normal day here. on september 19th, for example, your training shelling of the center of done yet killed 16 people in the face of less than one week from the 17th of september to the 22nd. you print and showing killed 26 people. not just in the net proper. you know, i'm not talking about 4 or my keys or other areas in the dumbass or, or against. and this is not to say, i'm not saying this to say like, you know, anybody deserves what they've gotten today. that's not my intent at all. i'm just

saying, this is the terror that people been living here for over 8 years. and i've been here often since march, you know, and there been huge ukrainian terror attacks. terrorism is exactly the word to be using here. let me put in. it's not wrong in that territory. markets in the center done yes, in areas where there be no military infrastructure. so i hope that maybe the people that were briefly taking selfies and photos in front of images destroyed personally destroyed bridge. i hope that those people may be, can now step back and have a little compassion. you know, you right. and you raise a raise a good point. and you know, mike admits me, i've seen the pictures of people posing in front of this big postcard stand, cut out with with, with a mirror behind them of the coach bridge, the crimea, and straight bridge. that being, being bombed and being on fire. maybe it's a matter of taste. i wanted to ask you though, i want to ask you when it comes to issues of sabotage, for example, the bombing of the coach,

straight bridge. the crimean bridge fed out of the bombing of nordstrom, you know, putin said during his comment today that russia is not even allowed to investigate . the summer college of nordstrom, he says, russia is being blocked from investigating its own pipeline. what does that mean to you, eva? i was actually expecting that would be, would be the case. i was expecting both, they would be blocked from investigating and also from doing their parents necessary to get it going. but that says that, i mean, it couldn't declare that it's not in rush of interest to have damage the pipeline itself. and this is just makes it all more clear why. why would powers that claim to be concerned with the pipeline? want to prevent russia from investigating i, i understand why because they want to take russia as the perpetrator and they probably have some excuse saying like they don't want to get near their investigate sabotage again, it's not them. it's not that i think one of the commentators were saying something

along the lines of who benefits that certainly not russia who benefits from that? well, i just wanted to say, just running out of time me, but i just wanted to comment on your comment that somebody wrote today. beneath an article i was reading, somebody wrote quite russians, destroyed their own gas pipelines. russians destroyed their own bridge to crimea. russians themselves bombed as opposed to nuclear plant that they've been controlling since march. wow. do the ukrainians actually need to fight the russians anymore? it seems the russians doing a very good job of bombing themselves. even bartlett, the canadian journalist, appreciate your time. thanks very much for joining us. thanks. thanks. now, the u. s. congress has set to discuss legislation on whether to officially label russia was a state sponsor of terrorism. moscow has said that will be a point of no return and it's bilateral relations with washington. a human rights lawyer don kovachick believes it's advantageous for us to, to support ukraine, potentially turn a blind eye to the atrocities being committed by key. it is profitable

to some very powerful interest in the united states, and that is why the u. s. continues to support ukraine and why they are turning a blind to various acts of terrorism and human rights abuses by the military. it is profitable to some defense contractors in the u. s. and that's very important to the leaders in washington. i think it's also profitable to the oil and natural gas industry that now wants to sell their wares to europe, trying to displace russia. so let's go back to operation paperclip. you know, after world war 2, the u. s. brought over 1100 nazi side to scale the u. s. and the war against the cold war against the soviet union. and the u. s. has been supporting nazis and ukraine for decades. so, i mean, this is nothing new. and this is not surprising. the us again,

you can't even say there indifferent to nazis in ukraine. the fact is, the u. s. supports not choosing now the whole bridge attack it did draw praise from western media. with many headlines, citing the importance of the infrastructure to russia. outlets also labeled the attack, an important success for t f and other deadly incident was also celebrating kiev right there. people taking pictures in front of a huge poster that depicting the blast. on the bridge, several ukrainian officials were quick to hail the attackers, well including some of mister the landscape advises, however, one later back tracked claiming it was orchestrated by russian security services. though of course, is not the 1st time officials have changed their stance either as a contributor, rachel marston now jumps in. the problem with the west and powering allies to be its attack dogs against russia is that sometimes the proxy managers to chew through

its leash or its harness. it then starts running around doing its business all over the neighbors yards while loudly barking its excitement and even causing simple minded creatures to bark along with it. that is until the master shows up and drags it back into the yard and gets it under control. this is exactly what seems to have happen now between the west and its allies in 3 separate recent incidents. most recently, there was the crimea bridge explosion on saturday morning in the wake of the attack, ukrainian official celebrated on social media, crimea, the bridge, the beginning. everything illegal must be destroyed. everything stolen must be returned to ukraine. everything occupied by russia must be expelled. to guided missile crews of moscow on the coast, bridge to notorious symbols of russian power in ukrainian, crimea of gone down. watson, it's in line russkies. representatives of european states also cheered what appeared to have been a terrorist act. i believe this target has been around for

a very long time. it's tanya certainly welcomes this and congratulations, ukrainian special operations units who are expected to be behind the separation motivation and the shows that it says it's a bond for the soul. his specially given yes. so there was put his birthday is great, here is have such gifts about i wish him more of such gifts present in the west. congratulated keith while cavalierly treating the destruction of civilian infrastructure. like it was a personal job at russian president vladimir putin on his birthday, kind of like, you know, neighborhood, teenagers had thrown raw eggs in his garage door, some western media pin, the incident on ukrainian special services effectively echoing the kremlin assertion that keith behaves like a terrorist state, but by saturday afternoon there was a distinct shift in tone. a ukrainian official close to zalinski tried to shift blame away from chief, implying that russia blew itself up. now seriously f s b tried to eliminate leadership of defense ministry before personnel change fs. be, was

a knocked down mist putin's bridge explosion. defense ministry canal blame f. s b for the future style floss. isn't it obvious? who made an explosion? the truck arrived from russian federation. the pentagon for once didn't really have much to say, interestingly enough, not even some spin or encouragement in favor of ukraine as u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin has a chronic tendency of offering up. so what accounts for the shift may be washington managed to get keys back on leash sometime during the day on saturday. a similar pattern was evident after zalinski called for a nato preemptive strike on russia. last thursday, shuffle we met a boy. what should nato do? eliminate the possibility of russia using nuclear weapons. you, i once again appeal to the international community as it was before february 24th, as we need preemptive strikes, so that russia would know what awaits them if they use nuclear weapons. by friday,

zalinski was already trying to gaslight every one m pretending that he didn't actually say what he said. and i said you have to do preventive kinks, not a dex. so again, what happened that led zelinski to back pedal on his statement. perhaps he felt the pressure of the western hand that feeds him his endless weapons in cash. but which clearly isn't too keen on having keep spark had nuclear football match, or actually setting off world war 3. also recall what happened in the wake of the attacks on the nord stream pipelines that run from russia to europe. right afterwards. poland former foreign minister tweeted thank you usa, that post which stayed up for a few days is now deleted. amid the ongoing debate over who's actually responsible, several voices in the u. s. including some prominent versus the establishment are growing less shy about overtly blaming the us for the attack. so what made sikorsky decide days later, that publicly thanking his pals, america maybe wasn't such

a good idea. perhaps washington made an appearance and gave him a little whack on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. and we were joined odor in the program by a foreign policy expert, george samuel eli. now he believes that kia would have sought approval from its allies for that of the bridge attack. there's no question greenwood number takes such a risky, high profile act without the consent of the united states. us officials tell the new york times that we really don't know what ukraine is doing. i mean, we basically have very little intelligence into the activities of ukrainian force that we know very well what the russians are doing. we don't know what you grange, they, whatever ukraine does, that they, that is embarrassing and horrific. i mean we've, we've seen those the videos in which they torture and kill prisoners of war

flagrant or ryans in which they were very proud of the war friends. and yet, a western officials had nothing to say about it, even as they get their hair out very theatrically allowed, was to look on the ally over fate. pony atrocities such as a boucher if there is an operation the united states is behind this bah ukrainians and make sure not to inform americans in detail as to what they intend to do. i would appreciate you joining us for one option international for all rolling breaking news coverage has been a very busy day today and 8 here in moscow. appreciate your company. anything else you may have missed or you want to get the full details on. it's all t dot com, but also make sure you check out the a
