in the news headlines on international and some graphic and disturbing images posted on line ukrainian troops appears to execute russian prison as a war. most tolling the demonstration of bruce policy, which claims the allies, the chinese president warns against western had germany and protectionism at the apex. so much in bangkok, ms. tension with the us. so the trade and the taiwan is choose ukraine's president porsha. and those who had signed the minister p feels on don't submitting, never intended to stick to the agreement and simply use them to prepare for

a new war with nato's health. also go ahead and do something. climate related migration and this placement have suddenly become a way of like this, like the whole country only i'm letting 0 point one defends of global emission. the people who pay the price $27.00 wraps up. we explore how promises but little auction leave african states in the lodge when it comes to the climate emergency. the very welcome and national with the very latest world news update is good to have with russia. the defense ministry has condemned what is called a massacre of russian prisoners of war by ukrainian soldiers. last off the footage emerged online with 2 put unverified videos now circulating on social media,

awarding some of the following. so teaches graphic and you might find it upsetting . the 1st video said to have been filmed by ukrainian troops in the ambassador ganske republic city of marquis f, shows them moving into a residential yard to accept the surrender of what appears to be a group of russian soldiers, several on arms, men in uniform. i seen coming out of the building with their hands up before lying down on the ground. that's was the end of the video. one person comes out while apparently holding something in his hands. which point a burst of gunfire is heard on the sportage then cuts out a separate video from a drone appears to show a group of men in uniform lying dead on the ground with pulls of blood around the head suggesting they've been executed. it's been alleged, but this 2nd video shows the aftermath of the previous previous incident. although we have not been able to independently verify any of these images, rushes,

defense ministry, se is the parent atrocity is a common tactic used by the ukrainian military video. evidence of a massacre of unarmed russian prisoners of war by ukrainian service men confirms the savage nature of the current key of regime led by zelinski and those who protect and support him. at the same time, the ukrainian service men who surrendered this week are being held in accordance with all the requirements of the geneva convention. the brutal killing of russian prisoners of war is not the 1st and not the only war crime. this is a common practice by the armed forces of ukraine, zelinski and his henchmen will have to answer for every single tortured prisoner christ. on the, on the journalist found the founder of the don't pass the inside. the website, say the west will likely turn a blind guy to this incidence. if you look carefully at the positions of the corpses on the 2 videos you see that keeps the same soto as the russian minister of defense said. it's not the 1st time that we see such videos. you have to remember

these videos from the georgia and the gin which tortured and killed the russian present as a war, and they feel themselves and they publish teach. so it's not like the 1st time that happened, there was no investigation. there were no investigations after the 1st videos where published with the execution of russian soldiers. and i don't think that something we'll, we'll be done. i mean, they have killed their eyes on the war, crimes of ukraine in 8 years. why tom? seeing that they will begin now to, to investigate on the well to rushes belgrade we do now. we're in a 2 year old mine has been killed in ukrainian shilling in the village of his thinker, according to a local official for residential buildings, but also said to have been damaged on the emergency. services are presently conducting house to house searches, looking for any other victims. meanwhile,

russia says most goes on forces of targeted ukraine's missile production facilities hitting an amo death. po, it say is contained artillery unit supplied by western nations, rushes defense ministries, to flagstaff, disruption, ukrainian armies, logistics for me, ukrainian president petro poor. shank was claimed that the men's good chords were a hoax, orchestrated to buy ukraine, time weapons and nato training. when i needed the minsk agreements to gain at least 4 and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best armed forces in eastern europe, according to nato standards. absolutely, and now he is the one who signed it originally back in september of 2014. and now

we know once again that he never planned on implementing minsk agreements. and this is something up latimer. putin was talking all talking about all along. he said that one of the reasons for the special military operation was failure to observe the men's agreements. and if we take a look at a chart by the o s. c, we can see that the number of violations increased significantly and there you have it before. it was just under $200.00, which was again enough. but then it rose all the way to over a 1000 and some cases, 1200 explosions in the dawn boss. so again, when the key of in the west say that this special military operation was unprovoked, this is exactly what moscow is talking about. saying that this was one of the reasons why russia felt the need to start this operation. also. and other reason that was nato and circling russia and trying to add ukraine to it's less than we heard from petra parrish and co saying now that it's so forces ukrainian forces

were training along fight. nathan. so the need at that time to needed 4 and a half years to make sure that their army is ready and according to nato standards and that it should become the best in the eastern europe. so perhaps they felt that it was ready, and that's why they were so careless about the violations towards the end, the beginning of february. and that's why we saw the numbers skyrockets. now, petro portion commences a lot of interesting things in this interview, which of course, he had no idea that it was a prank. and it's really evidence you can hear his does day disdain for vladimir putin. he constantly talks about how there is a need to weaken him and the to, to nys a russia. and we've heard about his hatred for vladimir putin for many, many years throughout the last 8 years, but also his disdain for russians as well. and that's something that's become very evident, and especially following clips like the following initial national board. because

we will have jobs, they will not, we will have pensions, they will not. we will have care for our children, for people in retiree medic, they will normally, our ukrainian children will go to school. he's in kindergarten. there's will be pulled up in basements because they can't do anything about it. this is exactly how we will win this war. trevino, or right now, petra, poor shanker, credits, what he sees as ukraine's military success on the united states. and he's thanking them for our, supplying them with weapons. and he says, if they wouldn't have this military success, had it not been for the supports that they're receiving from the united states. and of course not just the support but also weapons. and also he did a few. he had some statistics. he said that russia has 10 times more weapons, 30 times more munitions. it's far superior innovation, which is why they need what exactly more weapons. so he's encouraging the united

states to send them more weapons. and also he said that the sanctions, i have done a great job that they need more sanctions. they need to be a harsher sanctions. and also when he's asked the question about how do you think we can reach peace, how can peace be brought forth? and he said, well, we don't need the p steel, we just need more weapons when he's anything we can't make sure to, we can putin. so that seems to be his main goal. we can do to get rid of him, get us more weapons. and of course they want to join nato. well, joining us live a lot of political analyst on the red star radio editor, alexander mackay. many thanks for joining us on the program. it's nice to see you. so i think it's on the whenever it's the 1st time that we've heard before, me ukrainian president se kev have plans of following the minutes go chords. why do you think the west immediate hasn't paid more attention to these bold claims? because it would give the game away, it would give the game away about what the men's records were actually about,

which was as portion co, very accurately says buying time in order that nato could train these new ukranian army for the specific purposes of both attacking the populations of the dumbass area and also being a constant problem for russia on its border with ukraine, which is the exact reason why. of course, the my down q of 2014 was carried out. it was carried out to bring ukraine firmly into the camp of the united states in order that it could be turned into a weapon to be used against the russian federation. it's not just par shanker, who said that there's been open confessions of that from us officials and from british officials as well. so to admit that the men's records were a sham and they have no intention of actually following them would be to give the whole game away and give the lies away that have been told in the last to the populations of britain, france, germany in the united states by that politicians about this war,

so partially coast confession will not see the light of day in the any british news room or newspaper anytime soon. as we just heard from our correspondent the o. s. c statistic. so that back in february, the number of men's got caught breeches went up almost 35 times. yes, the crating. and what we still labeled is wholly unjustified. how come? well, because this is a propaganda battle, this is just simply the, the u. s. the british in particular, i'm trying to get their populations to ignore anything about what the actual reality of the war is. and that the reality is that it's an 8 year long war. and that it has been targeted at the civilian population as porsha and co himself confessed in a clip that you just play before. and they have to, totally unjustified. they have to pretend that it all just came out of the blue, because they can't have any examination of their records here. and just to give an indication of what ukraine is being used for ukraine is

a military of parish anchor search has been built relentlessly since at least 2015 by the nato countries. and i would argue that the european countries, in particular, britain, france, germany, italy, have all been using ukraine as a kind of outsourced military at the time, at the same time, they've been spending a lot of money and resources building up this big ukranian military, trained to nato standards, they've been actually cutting the numbers of men inside their own forces. so the british army now can fit inside a football stadium. and it looks like what they've been doing is they've been building up ukraine as kind of an outsourced army, where a weapon to use against russia that they can, they can hide behind while claiming that they are not involved. so to admit to the truth of what was going on in don bass for 8 years to admit the truth about the shelling of civilians would be to and again give the lies away that they've been telling. and i'm the one role of british politics at the moment is that you can

never tell the truth about anything otherwise, you might lose your job. and i think this applies here too as well. so it will say like on there isn't as far back as 2014 pyre sank. are fat, very comfortable talking about children. have don't bass hiding in basements is essential to winning the war against the breakaway regency at that, of course, no international. that reaction to that either. doesn't this rhetoric go against any possible human rights norms? well, human rights norms in the west star just where the weapons to be used against the enemies of the united states and britain. they're not meant to be taken seriously in terms of being applied to the allies of the west and dis we, we can use the, the shelling of the civilian population of dumbasses. a good example of that, were that being done by some, a country which was defined as an enemy of the united states, it would be all over the media. there would be concerts being given by bono about it. but as it stands, the, it was not mentioned at all for 8 years until of course,

the war went into its latest stage with the beginning of the special military operation. so it shows that really this all the talk we've had for really over 30 years now about international human rights standards and war crimes, tribunals applying international law across the world to bring up an international standard of justice. all of this is just simply a propaganda points and taught from the the western alliance. it is never applied to themselves. ready that is never applied to their allies and when they really want somebody to come on board with them, they'll ignore any crime they've committed. they've, for instance, joe biden today is granted the defacto ruler of saudi arabia, immunity in the murder of the journalist to shogi. they continue to ignore the saudi role in the evan war. none of these alleged human rights standards ever applied to themselves. and either it is a matter of pure hypocrisy, political analyst and red star radio editor, alexander mckay. many,

thanks for joining us. really appreciate it. thank you. polish oil, refine at p k, an all, and has applied for $3000000.00 tons of russian oil via the dra spot pipeline for next year. as according to reports, let's just buy more so previously stating it will stop imports from russia. by the end of $22010.00. the you will impose an embargo on the import of russian oil on december the 5th, but that only applies to supplies. i see and deliveries through the rush by pipeline system on not subject to the ban as his by poland, the minister of climate, and an environment on a moskva, a calling for immediate sanctions on russia. back in may little cold for immediate to sanctions for on the all you and the gus and ocean, oregon. gosh, this is the next an urgent and absolutely necessary step. we will support for sanctions on all russian fossil fuels. we already have cool. now it's fine for you,

and the 2nd step is for gas. the best option is to take them or to them. today, every one has suddenly become aware that they can't achieve any diversification because they're reliant on russia. luckily, we'll be completely independent already this year as we're about to finish the construction of a gas pipeline from the norwegian shelf. and we'll be able to choose suppliers when it comes to oil. collins independence from russia has almost become a fact to day we present the most radical plan in europe to abandon russian hydrocarbons. oil, gas and coal. we will impose a total embargo on russian coal in april at the latest in may. we will do our best to abandon russian oil and gas by the end of the year. early this year, the polish prime minister also launched a billboard campaign. under the slogan, stop russia now and blazoned with a phrase they referred to russia's role in ukraine as genocide. let's not cross live to independent journalist luke, we're evey to discuss that this further lick levy to see how many thanks for

joining us now. hollins, just applied for 3000000 tons of russian oil, despite claiming it wants to completely cut. is that a g and dependence on russia? what's going on, luke? what it says she would she pocket again? because as you clearly said, through spot by plan, you know, friendship, good name was not affected by the decision to, to stop the, the arrival of tankers from russia. so it continues and 3000000 tons. it's huge, it's a, it's an important decision because it represents probably the total of their consumption for the year, 2023 as a comparison for example, but i was consumes in normally here, $2000000.00 tons, sofa, poland, with a larger economy, 3000000 tons that makes it about what they need. so they said, you know, they, they would do their best to stop importing russian oil. and they can't even with an access to the sea, even with tanks coming from all over the world from even venezuela. you know now

which has been rediscovered is a good friend of america by the americans. venezuela is allowed to export to europe and of course hold other countries, nigeria, the gulf states and all. but they still need to spend much because it branches out throughout europe to germany, to, to the launch refineries in leipzig and, and many other places to poland, to dance, to other countries that absolutely need the russian oil and gas. but the all for countries like like hungary yours for the check for that have no access to see the natural source is russia and will remain so. and over the last few days, the price of oil as decline as the precious subside. i mean, the, the market realize that europe is not going to ban russian oil, as it said,

all really. and the fears are subsiding on the market. so it eases and the price gets a bit lower. but if this decision by poland shows clearly that the poxy at european level as reached stratospheric heights. it soon as it is started, the ukrainian crisis, the country's prime ministers said that poland will be one of the 1st, if not the 1st country in the european union to completely withdraw from russian and a j. a change of hearts. not really the sense of course they, they will have some gas because they have built a new pipeline for gas coming from norway by the way, and always at the end of its preserves. so for the next 4 or 5 years it's ok. but after i don't very much that norway will be able to deliver gas to pull. so ok,

that's, that's has been put every wearing the press and, and gas is of course the key oil is a commodity. so it's relatively easy to get up despite that you're to put, continue importing a lot, all of russian oil for gas. it's much more difficult because the, the process of mrs father lay on and the on the pseudo decision stake and by the european parliament on this would be confronted reality. for example, for the moment, poland can say that but truck stream in the south with a gas coming from all russia onto the black sea to turkey. that becomes a hot figure with choke swing increasing it's, it's deliveries to remain your bulk area, serbia. but of course, also hungary and on and austria and probably also germany through the south will continue. that will continue. so it's, it's,

it lies nonstop, mrs. fungal, and said that we don't need any gas this year that we have our gas that despite russia, you know, they, they managed to, to fill in the reserves for europe at 95 percent. yes. but with shouldn't guess over the months since the end of last year, they managed because of special operation in ukraine to get as much gas as possible at the beginning of this year through not stream one. and of course now since the bridge, probably all the americans work not stream that is a big problem. there is a big problem. a text from is not enough to supply gas to the whole of europe by far, and they will rely upon energy from america at 4 times the price minimum. so we got to pay our gas at estron all michel price. just because europe has decided to stop

using russian gas and russian energy. this is crazy. any doesn't reflect reality. luc, thanks so much for speaking to us and share your insight. we've been speaking to independent journalist at luke with a after burning he $33.00 trillion dollars of us taxpayers money. the pentagon is unable to explain how it's spent most of that cash for the 5th year in a row. the defense department has failed to order more than 60 percent of its budget, but the man in charge of the pentagon's cough is still claims and making progress on accountability. i would not say that we flunked. the process is important for us to do, and it is making us get better. it is not making us get better as fast as we want to get more on this less cross live to ortiz kayla more pain calif. nice to see you . now. the u. s. defense department just lost over a trillion dollars. so it seems one of his biggest expenditures this year has been

on aid to ukraine. anything, anything further about that in the findings? well, when you look over this audit, you have to remember this is a very big all encompassing thing to, to audit. we've got 2900000 employees, 640002 ask that over 4800 different sites and 40 different countries, the u. s, department of defense is certainly not a small endeavor, but when it came to ukraine and the money that has been sent to your brain and dispatched your brain, there was a rather blunt question and answer that was given when this audit was gone over. this is the exchange app and the duty welcome to not it. i mean, we always want to be accountable to the taxpayers on how their money is being sent or spent when it comes to what we have in our inventory and what we are sending to ukraine. accountability is important here. and we can always improve the ways that

we do things for the pentagon and the way we are accountable to the american people . so ukraine is certainly a teachable moment for that. to note that when it comes to the issue of ukraine, a lot of questions being asked to anthony blanket in the u. s. secretary of state is being pressured to give an answer when it comes to the issue of the money that's been sent to ukraine and the f t x crypto scandal. there are signs that as the republicans take control of the us house of representatives. they may not be allowing money to flow so freely into ukraine from the united states. at this point, american taxpayers are asking questions, you know, the economy. we're seeing american working families squeezed harder with, you know, inflation, the rising cost of food, the rising cost of energy and gap. and at this point, people are looking at the f t x scandal and looking at the back of the man at the

center of it bank meant this individual is also a major donor to the democratic party. we have serious concerns that the ukrainian government may have invested portions of the nearly $66000000000.00 of us economic assistance into f. t x to keep democrats in power and keep the money coming in. is the department of state currently investigating whether ukraine invested in f t x. now it's also important to note that among the concern is being raised by congressional republicans and others about ukraine. there is the issue of corruption. ukraine has been ranked as the 120, as the most corrupt country of 180 countries. there was a huge amount of corruption in ukraine, according to many sources. and the fact that united states as unloaded so much money. and so many weapons onto a country that has tauriel corrupt is something that is concerns and many,

now it's important to point out that we even have at this point a times square billboard, that portrays the lindsay with ukraine as all the black hole where american taxpayer money is disappearing into and at this point some expect there will be some more thorough investigation from republicans. they will want accountability about where all of this money has been spent. the department of defense and their recent audit and the amount of funds missing is certainly something that has a lot of eyebrows raised and as a source of frustration for many americans. but i think now there's going to be a press press for specific answers regarding where money was sent in ukraine, where money was spent when it came to handing money to the ukranian forces. calibri, thanks for those details. i thought he was caleb moore. the versa is under the spotlights at this year's apec summit, which has kicked off in thailand with some western leaders using the event to try

and run up support for more countries to move against the most. go, maria, if an ocean is in bangkok with more, it seems that these here is apex summit here in thailand, asia pacific regions, major economic gather reign has become yet another platform to talk about russia and to blame it. earlier. the west has used the assay on, in later or the get 20 meetings to confront russia and to call out to fulton. and here again, the u. s. is secretary of state said that russia is ultimately responsible for deadening missile incident and poland near the border with ukraine no matter what the investigation shows. while the preliminary prob, blamed the ukrainian air defenses, lincoln also said that russia has agreed to extend the black sea grain deal as it felt the world would not accept any refusal from moscow. moscow says it has always been in favor of this initiative, allow in the export of grain from on lock, ukrainian ports to poor and developing nations in asia and africa. moscow. the only

time suspended its participation in this dale half the key of use, the humanitarian corridor for its military purposes, attacking the russian navy in crimea with drones. at the same time, we hear repeated calls from different western nations to get together to stand together against global challenges, like energy and food crisis for wage. again and still russia is to blame. here is francis president manuel mac wrong here at a peg trying to sway asia. during the past few month. friends focused itself not just to support a crane, and we will follow up. but to work very closely with a different countries like china, india, to whole region, middle east, africa, latin america, to create an increasing consensus. in order to see these war isn't so your,

your problem. it fits perfectly the ideal plan to avoid any responsibility for global economy crash the u. k. and the u, as had come up with earlier, the talking is the economy will not recover until the war and the head of the russian delegation hearing thailand that the a peg. russia's vice prime minister on the day below was so sad that he had to remind his colleagues many times earlier today that the crisis has been there before. russia's special military operation in ukraine. here is his words, nuclear reduce student body issue or school. the europeans, clumsy actions of last summer have went to a shock, increasing gas prices, and this is affected mineral fertilizer production costs. as a result, many businesses have been forced to close. as for europe, it's not just about the recession there, back in 2021, the market started to move and metal price is doubled. this created high

uncertainty for manufacturers and no one could make long term plans because of this . in addition to this, there was high inflation, a tightening of fiscal and monetary policies and the debt problem. all these factors created a threat to the stability of the economy in the u. southern europe and even in germany earlier russia's foreign minister said a gale over off speaker at his g. 20 press conference in bali called this phenomenon. i political personalities. fleet, when the west is from one hand, calling for negotiations, friendship united app words and standing together against common challenges. and at the same time, escalating the situation with the quick and groundless accusations against russia like with poland and demonizing rush and blame and all the bad things in the world . and i guess we're going to see a little bit more of that here, but maybe not in that sharp form as the country steel have to come to consensus to adopt the fine.
