a list of other ideas with ah, with the backbone of the russian. not hillary here. recruit like this one daily good list of talk crews operating here every day. and i think crew reports from a flash point area on the don bye front lines observing the combat operations of a russian artillery unit. with the french news outlet publishers a report showing ukrainian forces hunting for so called pro russian trade. because in the city of a i have a question for american partners. tell us which legal act do you and christina, respect, name, at least one. yes,

i'll be with president slamming the celtic bad republic of kosovo. and it's weston backers of rural border escalation. we understand that special port is deployed on both stuck with having a good look around the world today with an awful lot of heavy hitting stories for you here. we're not you international for the mean time though to the development development. so i should say in don bass, where at least as we understand that 9 people now have been reported wounded and the ukranian artillery, shutting off on yeah. city. their local officials are claimed grad rockets were used, which are designed to cause destruction on a wider scale, a blaze or wrapped it at a market that was struck in dozens of residential buildings, also damaged as well as a school, a kindergarten and a hospital. and here at r t, we heard from one resident in one of the apartment buildings that was hit

they've been firing since 5. am it hit right here? i fell out of the chair that came on site and there was already a fire. the windows blew out. i don't know what to do. no. fierce bottles had been raging on the front lines of on bass between russian and ukrainian forces backed up by many western mercenaries correspondent, even have done or got access to one of those flashpoints. fine weather is hardly a good omen here from the ukrainian theatre of war. this weekend, the gloom of december made way for tentative sunshine for russia and ukraine. it only meant they could finally take full advantage of the drones. as both armies rushed headlong into attack. these rocket miss, our systems are the backbone of the russian artillery here. oh,

every crew like this one daily gets a list of targets and at least can be more than 10 targets long. i basically dozens of crews like this dozens of vehicles like this. they're operating here in the forest between criminal and the mud and spots of every day. the grand rocket launcher makes an immediate escape. the slightest delay can easily turn it from creditor into prey. the sunday. so both armies attack on a collision course and russia made a point in overwhelming the enemy in artillery fire. to nip every assault in the bud, i feel about unit our targets are mainly the enemies manpower. we are also targeting fortified enemy positions. if there was something more significant, we hit the headquarters, the positions of enemy artillery, our intelligence is working. so we have visual confirmations of the strikes on

video. in the months of war with ukraine, russia grew it's prisoner, exchange font, to the extent of thousands and sources on the ground. tell me over the weekend battles, have you did fresh harvest of captives for moscow? soldiers duped it out on the battlefield to the tune of caves. fresh attacks against cities under russian control, a fiery inferno engulfed. he market internet's a rare sports of civilian bustle in the otherwise battered city. the shelling followed an overnight high mars attack against a holiday recreation center in milly, topple. local officials revealed it left. at least 2 people killed and 10 wounded. all expectations that russia's infamous winter frost could push both sides towards a low in the fighting, shattered against bloody reality. the endless darkness of war is all that dwells in the morbid conflict between russia and ukraine. i'm

a get done of reporting from the don bass. r t let's credential company for this program. so franz 24 has published a report showcasing ukrainian soldiers under local n g o, a hunting for so called traitors. that's essentially people who are considered as a pro russian in her song. now you may remember that town, it's the city where russian forces withdrew from an early november. let's get a bit of a broader grip on this. now, on the correspondent marina culture of a joining, i see it. so i think in some sense, it's a good thing. the prizes 24 has been addressing the story about about her so what ukrainian units looking for, so called traces. but it's also is it perhaps not on both sides of the story? exactly. yes, it's a good thing that they're talking about. it's about at least people know that it is happening so that eventually, if we see pictures like what we saw coming out of ukraine was people tied, for example, to align post, which is something that we've seen. we'll get that in

a 2nd that we know where it was coming from. so let's get back to the reports. so france, 24 show their report which featured and n g o. and this in geo is basically tasked with finding collaborators, so called traitors. i went on the website, we can see some of the names there. it's an endless list. and this one, just politicians. they haven't turned unless they have teachers, directors of schools, they even have priests there. and these are the people, they consider traitors. and it shows the director of essential being very happy about how much data they have and how much information. busy have about these collaborators and then they show a guy who works for the scenario and he's part of the claim, special forces, and he has no sympathy and he says, we need to hung down each and every one and punish them. derosa vacation takes many forms, including the hunt for collaborators or traitors as this post of wine recalls him.

alexander is a special forces soldier, hunting down. collaborators is something he does to, for example, has no sympathy for those that were tempted to work with the russians. they have to be hunted down. he said. now the problem with this is that afterwards they don't show what happens the aftermath of such activities. and we've seen what happens in what ukrainians do, not only to their own soldiers when they abandoned their positions, but also to those who they consider traitors. we can see some of the photographs and some of the videos of how they punish them. so this essentially this angio, which is talking about hunting everyone down and punishing them. what did they mean? exactly? is this the result that we're going to see? because the regional or one of the regional officials in can san said that over a 130 people have been arrested us so far for collaborating with russia. again, there are no trials, there is no evidence that they provide and no one is looking after them. and overseen what they do and how they deliver this justice, which is not that over

a 130 people have been arrested. where are they? what happens to them? so these are the pictures that are not being shown on french c, v. and also they're released and another report, for example, where they're saying that local police officers are stopping random people on the streets and questioning them. in fact, this looks more like terrorized and locals because they are inspecting their ideas . they're looking for their cell phones. they're trying to establish any links and connections they could have with any russian citizens or with, with russia in general. and nan sat fuel to the fire. they invited guests who are calling for attacks on russian soil is throwing poor sale. do it was i thought other attacks can be done this time, much more symbolical, for example, for regarding the range what's been shown with their strikes is that they could have reached moscow keyboard. therefore, as an example, it could be easily said that the next victory parade in moscow was a military target for thank all the well, they are making a big parade. and i'm striking in the middle of the battalions that are marching.

so these are some of the comments that even viewers are points in out. and they're saying that this encourages attacks on russian soil that were seen crimes committed by the ukrainian army, completely being ignored. and also one of the even sweet it is the you trying to incite the genocide of pro russia ukraine is because let's not forget the people who are hunting down these traitors. many of them are part of the as of battalion, which is notorious for it's far right ideology. it's a brutal tack stick. something that was reported in mainstream media before the conflict with ukraine began. it's only now that there really ignore in this. so we have a, you are basically, that's always said, oh oh, russian journalists are biased. they're not given us the full story. and now we're seeing that they themselves are given half the story and not saying what comes afterwards. yes, great, but you're talking about it. but so what could happen after, i guess, i mean, i guess, as you say, showing half the story is better than showing none of the story. yes. yeah. given

the state of affairs in the world today, marina culture ever thank you. well offer and journalist crystal ne, all believes the media is just trying to whitewash t abs actions. if i to a crystal says it's all about reassuring the western public about continued support for ukraine hub and listen of course, they do not explain what will happen to the people who are considered as russian. they also do not explain that you can and being consider like these, just because your neighbors have perhaps a conflict with you and decide to say to the soldiers or queen soldiers that you are a perversion just to get some revenge against you. the thing is that they start to wipe for work, force them to whitewash their support. because of course you've explained to the with turn people that ok, we support, we give money and we weapons to new nazis. battalions. i mean, it will be a big, big scandal,

so they cannot for that. so of course they are putting all the new teeth in all the war crimes under the carpet. so good to happy with us for this program. tensions just keep on ratcheting up in the balkans spell. great says to break away republic of cause of of has been violating established peace agreements. not really some off . they created a monster 23 years ago and finished making it in 2008. i have a question for our american partners. tell us which legal act to you and christina, respect to respect you and charter, or resolution $1244.00 or the brussels agreements. or is it the washington agreement by name, at least one of these acts. the christina respects name one the you to the americans respectful name, at least one of the, one of the important protests and calls about erupt in the weekend when ethnic sub demonstrate has erected a roadblock to stop a prominent serbia national from being taken by authorities. the cause of his

capital were officials. i gave the protest as a deadline to remove the barricades by sunday night. however, they remain. he contributed nicholas job, which now offering some more insight into what is a touchy situations bound that president will just show the press conference after the meeting of security council. and he stated that the serbian government will stand firmly with people in council and advise them to remain useful not provoke in any manner. the national courses there that is the k for and of course the members of the course of police forces. and he said in the same way that our locations on the other side, and he said he expects. and he has speculations that may be obedient, who tried to conduct was flavor ration to attack the international forces and to, to set up for that. so they have reason that is an excuse to attack sort

of and remove the barricades and the dog as well. now better kids are staying walks will still be there is. ready also as present, would you send this night to be the hardest since he became president of serbia? and he said that our army directly on the administrative line between corso and central serbia and that it will answer to any type of publications if it occurs toward the serbs situation. the currently is beautiful at the barricades, but nobody can tell with certainty what tomorrow will bring. i said just just for a sec here on the program. let's give you a quick recap of the last few days. because a sub in force is what deployed to the administrative border because of reportedly in response to similar measures taken by the cause of both orators. germany is foreign minister said serbia as actions were unacceptable in a charge completely rejected by belgrade, by the way,

patrols from the use peacekeeping mission then arrived at the barricades as local serbs attempted to keep police out of the neighborhoods. in the serbian, a political analyst that we spoke to says that western partners have ultimately turned a blind eye to crimes committed by cause of all bad hymns. because at the end of the day, the pirate li serves their own political interests. they won't rest until they have to be clean possible, which can join made so and you know, that's the game that's damn game have cost of all unites with all dania and to enlarge nato. the west react. only one of the serbs acts in self defense. they never react absolutely never when close while dainey is engaging aggression violence against a serbian minority. if they've made incursions into the north to kidnap people or not people, they've respite people without cause. they've broken into people's houses and the

nate nato, or the you haven't done a single thing. you know, that nobody has, has faced any consequences. you know, this is a big jeer political game and they're using a people as pawns and they don't care if there's going to be another ethnic cleansing or another genocide. in fact, they're encouraging. but just to remind you quickly, cause of unilaterally declared independence from serbia back in 2008. it did follow a series of devastating was in the former yugoslavia that independence has been recognized by the us and certain e u member states while bel grade and other nations, most notably russia. if you cause a vote as a part of serbia. so parallels have been drawn between the current and bulk and tensions, and that of the ukraine conflict. soviet president's address to reported statement by for my german chancellor anglo merkel. you probably saw yourself that she was cited is saying that last decades,

minsky ceasefire. agreements were primarily designed to what to give key of time to strengthen his military. oh, no, we saw that historically important statement by angela merkel. i'm surprised and i'm still checking in every way to see whether it's possible that she said that she is a woman that i greatly appreciate it. for me, that statement is almost unbelievable. if it is confirmed, if you have had not wanted to fulfill the minsk agreements, that sheds a completely new light, it cannot change the fact of who attacked whom. but in many ways, the changes the fact and relationships within what has been happening since 2014. and that's a clear signal to me whom you shouldn't trust. right back to alexander package again. and he says that the west is essentially hand the cause of the tools to achieve its independence movement. it looks the same thing the west was doing with ukraine buying a time so that it could harm itself. so it could go from natal training. well,

over the past 9 years, you know, i'm a tow, has been training a, they've been building an army for them, which is totally illegal. the same practically the same situation as with men's agreements and ukraine, meaning the west facts one side. here are the all daniels and cost of all, and you crane kia government, where the side that's not required to fulfill any part of the agreement that it signed, thinks that it can do what it wants and actually feels it as part of the support of the west to actually commit aggression commit ethnic cleansing. a former austria and vice chancellor has admitted that the western sanctions against russia have ultimately backfired causing grave damage to the use economy.

oh, we've been through a lot lately, which survived the sanctions policy that misled us under the pretext that the sanctions policy would bring russia to its knees. the russians have doubled their business. there was no question of bringing russia to its knees. it's all on the country, we say how austria homes itself and how europe homes itself, where we ourselves actually suffered more from the sanctions. and we see rising prices for electricity and gas for food in europe. more more people will suffer from this. so after the european union cutting itself off from russian oil and rush and gas european industry and households can't afford to pay the high costs of the remaining gas, either that's in the reserves or imported liquefied natural gas from the us, priced at 2 to 4 times the u. s. market rate as french president emanuel macklin complained to joe biden, during his stay visit to the white house earlier this month. so europe made a mass of its own economy with its own sanctions and is forcing every one to lie in

this mass. as european politicians are now routinely pointing out foolish, the problem is we're going to destroy what's left over from our industry. the few businesses who stayed are contemplating moving to another country, for example, to the u. s. where energy is much cheaper. one last thing, the genius of our coal, just in our elite, you noticed that with the conflict and ukraine, we gave up on russian gas and a rush towards american guess the famous ellen. gee, you noticed that even the cold just stopped criticizing this type of guess? what do you know where it comes from? just like as for rush and guess it's putting her stop deliveries, toe, it's hero, nothing. yeah. no, it's us who boycotted the russian guest supplies. we said we don't want it any more and he said we will not supply to you any more then it's been far too long since european commission president ursula vander line promised european some relief even as energy bells continued to pile up. so what's brussels brilliant idea to fix its mass to cap the price of gas? now,

it seems that they're desperate to fix the situation of their own making as kremlin spokesman. dmitri pesca explains, amid the absurd and frantic desire as the european se to get rid of their dependence on russia. they do not say at the same time that they want to exchange one dependence for another. that is, they have now changed their dependence on russia for dependence on american liquefied natural gas. it's exactly the same dependence. there is much less reciprocity. and now when the europeans lose billions of euro's every day, the united states is now earning billions of dollars there. but there's another problem, the european commission knows full well that setting the cap to low could mean screwing up the blocks energy market even more than it already has. there's also the question of which countries could actually stop selling gas to europe altogether. because, well, since when does the customer demand a certain price that they will pay? we're talking about global energy markets here by the u is basically saying that it

wants to haggle over the price of gas. like it's a dog eared 4th hand comic book on sale at the local neighborhood draw sale even the european central bank is warning of the risk of financial instability with this move as are some you countries like germany and the netherlands. the european commission knows the risks, which is why it's just paying lip service to the idea with a price cap, so high. that's virtually useless at $275.00 euros per megawatt hour. europe's natural gas is trading right now at about a $135.00 euros per megawatt hour. and even at that price, people and businesses are struggling. so there are 12 you countries now demanding a lower price cap somewhere between $200.00 and a $150.00 euro's. and those 12 countries could very well, vito, anything hire as the blocks energy ministers meet to tackle this issue. this week.

not only has brussels jeopardize its own energy security and economic security, but also its military security, as it ships its weapons off to ukraine. that hasn't gone unnoticed either by european political and industrial figures. melchor's stalks had disappeared altogether, but who continued the sans arms and ammunition to zalinski? let's stop this complete madness, dundas fare. previously it had more than 2000 leopard 2 tanks. now there are about $300.00 of them. it may still be able to defend algebra with them, but not berlin. the good news is that it's still not too late to pull out of the nose dive, but unfortunately the pilots at the controls here in europe seem more interested in . busy being that everyone is on board and united as they hurdle towards earth cheering, bam, take that boon. so the new twitter boss,

a lawn mosque, he says the company seems like both a social network and a crime scene. it's after a leak of internal company chats seem to show the platform was deliberately breaking its own rules to ban donald trump. in the past, we exempted to policy all ation from a world leader due to the public interest value. i'll be dropping the public interest now, and any new violation could be a trigger for me to understand. in this specific case where a change in our public interest approach for his account to say any violation would result in suspension. the trombone violated toward his policy over unbiased moderation and recent leaks, claim company staff had spent months trying to find a way to do it. messages appear to show some employers initially resisted coals to banga, then president this might be an unpopular opinion, but one off and hawk decisions like this that don't to pay a rooted in policy or in my humble opinion slippery slope. this now appears to be

a fit by an online platform c o, with a global presence that can gate keeps speech for the entire world. or ellen musk is supporting the efforts to expose the company's forma management revelations included staff suppressed unflattering information around joe biden. during his run for the presidency, 2 years ago, other leaks of us address of the platform deployed a so called shadow ban on the visibility of tweets coming from various conservative uses. we brought it up with our broadcaster and political commentator, steve gill, he says, a mosque is simply trying to rehabilitate twitter in the wake of the companies past management. i think because we're seeing what's actually in the twitter files, the emails that went back and forth, what we're seeing can be trusted is interesting. you're not seeing the f b i the, the intelligence agencies, the other businesses. they're not denying the accuracy of these emails and tweets.

they don't like them, but they're not denying the accuracy. and i think as we see more and more coming out and it looks like the next big trying to information is going to relate to what was being done with coven vaccines. we now have a senior officials, some of the vaccine companies are bidding that it was not tested as thoroughly was not as safe as they claim. so this goes beyond just the political entry that was being dealt through twitter. it goes to be propaganda. that was put out that was forcing people in the vaccines that were not nearly as safe as we were told, not tested as we were told. so a lot more revelations are going to come to life that i think are going to be found credible by those who are actually in the arena. other just donald trump that they were banding. they were banding conservative voices that were bending other media outlets. they were even banning comedy sites like babylon be, and others that were satirical. they were doing anything they could to silence anything that would hurt divide administration. the intelligence officials who were operating with them department of justice officials who were cooperating with them

. this was essentially a 2 in the dark at twitter and now it's coming to light and hopefully that will be full prosecution of those who are involved. i think ultimately trump will return to twitter in full force in part because his alternative truth social is not got the traction. i think you would have liked. and i think all of the attention on twitter, people coming back to twitter, lead donald trump, to look for where he can have the loudest voice. i think moving forward, that's going to be back. that will. yeah. that stores or slowing down any time soon to read more about a loan mosque and i well his new venture of twitter at r t dot com also check out the op ed section where people tempest seem to flap anyway, we're back soon with with

oh, is your media, a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true was his faith in the world corrupted. you need to

descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah

ah ah ah. hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered on peter level? what is the possibility of a negotiated end to the conflict in ukraine? there are some indication, nato has shifted its position from total victory on the battlefield to the need of negotiations. at this point, this is unclear. the biggest barrier of course is the lack of trust. ah, discuss these issues and more. i'm joined by my guest, glenn,

these and in oslo. he's a professor at the university of southeastern norway as well as author of the book, great power politics in the 4th industrial revolution. and here in moscow we have dimitri bobbitt. she is a political analyst and editor, and he knows me internet media project. hi, gentleman cross our roles and the fact that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciated. ok. so with one in oslo. glenn, over the, over the last week, couple of weeks here with getting a lot of mixed signals out of nato to the point it seems to me looking at their discourse, is that it's turning into a modicum of panic. i'm worrying about escalation and the them were the need for negotiation on the rhetoric that ukraine is. winning seems to be fading away. so read the tea leaves for me. what do you, where we are, where are we right now? go ahead. well in any conflict it's isn't easy, but it's possible to.
