a with, [000:00:00;00] with headlines on, on the international multi thought was this claim, us made and supplied dwellings. we used in ukraine by ukraine and recent strikes on russian territory. that is find washington. thank u. s. weapons have not been used to hit target inside russia. 10 explosion buildings on the call, the fire and the russian city of don't yet cleaving one family wounded. the ukrainian forces a shell residential areas with its latest octave censorship of

russian media. the you target thought the parents company with another round of sanctions, ordering a phrase of the company's assets in europe. a very will welcome you, watching all the international with the late is world news update is great to have you with us this out. the us has produced the on supply jones to ukraine to target russian infrastructure. that's according to our c sources that comes to spawn washington claiming such weapons have not been used to hit russian territory. it's been determined that the avionics and control stations of the drones were manufactured by american company, scripture works, which performed their initial calibration and testing at scottsdale airport. and arizona analysis of the electronic units of intercept drones showed that the ukrainian military also used these you avi's to attack infrastructure facilities in

the civil stop all, as well as the belgrade curse can verona regions, sources familiar with the stories hold is that final drone assembly and test flights were conducted near polish airport, which was used as the main nato hope for supplying weapons to key as the way these are said to have been launched from the ukranian cities of odessa and chris rog, navigation contradicts washington's claims that weapons applied to key f have not been used to bomb science inside russia. we have not provided ukraine with weapons that is to use inside of russia. we've been very clear that these are defensive supplies. we are the president said very clearly some time ago. we are not enabling ukraine to strike behind. beyond its borders. were tied usa force lieutenant colonel carrying queer towns. he stays the use of us, manufactured drones would be

a dangerous step. it is concerning an alarming and it is consistent with some of the other things we've seen leading up to this point. you know, the intelligence sharing that has been going on us intelligence and that kind of thing. certainly the assistance with the american weapon systems that are been sent to ukraine along with american operators and trainers for that equipment. concerns about special forces being forward, being forward located to india, surrounding countries including colon, but also the latter lithuania, latvia. those guys are allies there. so this is just one more step in a very dangerous direction. providers of arms, they're making a lot of money. their stock is growing. it's, it's doing well. there are they have guaranteed contracts well into the future. in part because of conflicts around the world,

and specifically in due to the kind of money that's been spent on their company's products going into ukraine and going into this war effort relating to a current ukraine to them. this is good business. we have requested a response from the pentagon to the reports, but i get to hear anything back and release at 10 explosions have rocked the don't . yes. come to live in knights, local authorities, a number of ground may songs with fire at a residential area. one of the buildings with that was to hit reportedly co fire while windows were blown out and the entire floor was destroyed and another. when is this a missile fragments also struck a car, injuring a family inside. i was just a child, lottie. arabic has heard from local residents about life on the stage are in serious units of blood, the auction. the ukrainian regime ignores all the rules and targets purely civilian areas. there are no military personnel, they're only local residents, small children leave here. i have no idea what they're doing and when it will end,

the silly vanilla. there was massive shelling, 2 old women got so scared they fainted. we hope some one will help us. not a day goes by and announced without casualties and destruction. and the reason for this is the key of regimes. heavy shelling of residential areas. the shelling only grows more powerful day by day. bother ukrainian shells on fires and western weapons are raining down on the heads of civilians, folk, residential neighborhoods, places of worship, and hospitals have become legitimate targets of the key of regime the showing by ukrainian forces of this church and the centre of don't ask is irrefutable evidence of cubes, deliberate, and planned crimes. america whose lists of targets is consuming more and more sold at the curb. but when we, while president vladimir putin has visited the command center for the military operation in ukraine, there, he heard a report on the progress of the operation and held meetings with commanders when he

became acquainted with the work of the joint staff of rushes of new details have emerged in the case of an explosion of the polish police headquarters in warsaw allegedly caused by a grenade launcher that was gifted to the country's police chief by ukraine. according to polish media, the weapon had been brought into the country by ukrainian officials, by train without any security checks to people, including the police chief sustained injuries during the blast. after the sealing of the building was damaged by shrapnel. ponens interior ministry seized the explosive present was received after a meeting with ukraine's police and emergency services. in warsaw. poland has demanded an explanation from kia, which is yet to comment on the incident. oh, they you is tightening the screws on media freedoms. it's late, his package of sanctions freeze is artes, european assets, in an effort to silence russia. my colleague, fear, well, it is about discussed the development with ortiz,

marina concert for this is now the nines package of sanctions, and they are supposed to be hard hitting as the european union has called them. and basically what we're seeing with our t's that there sanction united pan company are now to the novice the in europe. so basically brussels is season farms and massive belongings who are g, as well as some other over panels. and not only that, they also want to make sure that there are no funds or economic resources made available to them, whether it's directly or indirectly. and this not only affects entities, but also people associated with the company. this is what's interesting and also another aspect to this is that there are more russian channels being sanctioned as well. some of them have just one news broadcast every day, for example. and what else do we know about this latest round of e u sanctions? well it's a huge list of. busy not only people being sanctioned,

but also different industries. so for example, we have now the latest, the number is up there. $1386.00 people who are sanctioned in total and $171.00 organizations. and they're really wants to make sure that it, it hits rush out where it hurts according to them. so for example, there are really target thing, the rosters military industrial complex. they're looking at export restriction when it comes to technologies that contributes rushes, military takes abilities and also its ability to work on certain technologies. they're trying to, we can russia when it comes to its military, there is also and other and the energy sector, for example, no new investments can be made by a foreign companies within roches energy sector. there's also a v, a sion and for example, more banks have been added. and what's interesting, they're cutting rushes access to drones. so not only is the direct exports of drone

engines now forbidden to russia. so to other countries that may circumvent this. and then for example, through other countries, exports it to ross so, so that's also not allowed. so this is a multifaceted attack on russia. absolutely. and through different industries, but particularly the military and dust real complex. this is what they're really focusing on. and they want to make sure that russia is weekends on the battle ground, and some experts have already come out and set it. for example, with the freezing of the assets when it comes to our table. clearly what they've done so far by binding the channel on to, for example, that hasn't worked. we know that there was a pole in germany recently. what people that still wants to watch and still find ways to watch that new. and i know that you can watch ours, he not just on satellite cd, but you can go online and people have been posting lots of videos. so that's what they're not happy with. and they're trying to make sure that it's sub found by cutting any funds that are made available to

r t or any ways in which russia can circumvent the sanctions and is remaining up and running that. and also the military aspect is very important. that's what they're trying to do to weaken it, but also at the same time, this is what we're talking about. the european union has been saying all along that it's all for freedom of speech. while this doesn't look very much like freedom of speech when you're trying to completely shut down the other angle of the story. we spoke to a former c, i a analyst on c. i was book associates, laurie johnson, who says the west is telegraphing its weakness by censoring alternative viewpoints . the you cannot handle the truth, they keep projecting their own weakness, their own fault, their own inability, just to maintain proper armies and field. ready the ammunition to keep them supplied. governments that engage in this kind of conduct are reflecting their own weakness their own impotence, because they have their powerless to stop russia from working with other countries

like india, like china, like south africa, even brazil, to form an independent group of nations that are not beholden to the west, i've done a lot of television. i've done all the major american media, abc, cbs, nbc, all the cable channels, fox news, and are done the b, b, c. r t is the only news channel were i've been asked to come on and you don't interview me in advance to find out if i'm going to say what you want to hear. you let me speak what i think. and i think that is a remarkable tribute to r t. so this is a desperate attempt by the west to try to keep their people blinded in an ignorance . but what's going to happen is reality will intrude. one of these days ukraine will collapse, and russia will have its victory. and at that point, the west europe in particular, is going to have to decide whether they want to continue to freeze in the dark

b without a oil and gas. or if they want to become grown ups and start dealing with russia in a respectful way and have proper relationships. the director of the you as well as help organization has accused there were trained troops of killing his own uncle, along with other civilians and ethiopian war torn t re province. in october, the direct they claim that the international community wasn't paying enough attention to the conflicts stressing that it had spawned a health crisis. it hasn't affected some 6000000 people. meanwhile, a foreign policy chief years around has expressed his frustration with the situation. while the one month after si fi came into effect in the region, send. one thing that has kept me very busy, very sorry, and very frustrated is ethiopia? not enough people talk about it. we don't talk a lot about ethiopia. yes. from time to time when their piece discussions, but what is happening in t grey's, the deadliest war,

we complain rightly about what is happening in ukraine. but what is happening in ethiopia is really awful. the war stems from a long standing confrontation between the government and the authorities of the autonomous t gray region. a spark, a huge humanitarian crisis, which has left more than 5000000 people facing starvation. even though a ceasefire agreement has been in place since november. if europeans have criticized the you foreign policy, the chief years of burrell accusing him of not doing enough to help end the suffering. but what i understood from burrell statements is that they don't want us to stay united by dividing us along ethnic lines, religion and language. so it is because they don't want peace to prevail back on. they are going back and fanning the conflict so that we go back to war and remain weeks or so on. but now we have peace in our country, but they go back and try to bring up old wounds so that we go to war again. they look like they are helping us to reconcile it, but then you see them working hard to take us back to war. i got rid of it. there

was no telling that the west stopped conspiring against us in old times or to day, let alone ethiopia. they don't want to see africa develop too much. this is a fact that they could have done a lot in the past to stop the war. but instead they come and start fanning the conflict by exaggerating things. instead they should work on preventing future conflict. they're pinocchio understood the conflict total, understand the conflict, led to v o policy to what they open on the way certain hours understand or perceive they're conflicting to gray when it comes to the numbers. so the decatur ality, so he said, and he to speak to that her from 602800000 people have been keyed to for so so for our forces and d to gay forces are in the process of implementing that throws. it's obvious that hero can convey so they look in union would take her seriously ukraine,

done african country. so we can ruin that even aid has significantly decree is not, not necessarily because of the conflict from europe, but also the attention generally given to the africa. next his, the story of a mobilized ukrainian soldiers, 2 months journey from civilians, a captive, he spoke to r t in an exclusive interview. we should warn you, however, that it may have been given under duress. sleep. can you introduce yourself? where'd you come from? how did you join the ukrainian military wire from it up of the bit boy long ridge? yes, my name is put bed paddle ivana village. i'm from violin region from the city of koval. so i was mobilized back in may. i under went a medical examination and then i was told to wait for then in september they called me and gave me a draft notice. so my service was to start in october into this is how i ended up

in the ukrainian army. why didn't you leave the country will still only her thumb. it was too late to leave. if one wanted to go abroad, then they had to prove that they had been placed on the military office registry list. plus you needed to specify the exact reason for travel before you couldn't simply travel there for work, a coil for the chimney year. her molina does it as often as i know. no. well in is located in western ukraine. how do people their view mobilization? would you say you were living there from may till september and knowing they could mobilize you at any time? melissa? yes, i got that. and so how did your relatives and friends react to nadia had to poor have cbs. so in the it was really bad. my city suffered from explosions as well as other regions. everything sounds bad when you talk about war. many guys didn't want to go to war. who wants to go to war? honestly, those of you and those who didn't go to war. what exactly did they do to avoid service?

the results you usually so they were just sitting there waiting for those who managed to leave. we're lucky. so what happened next? why once you are called up for service, i began training. what training will i was abroad in england? india with my little tell me how exactly you were selected that you why did they choose you do have any special skills or military occupation. you may be an outstanding level of physical training. okay. yeah, no us, no, nothing like that. when we were drafted, we only went through a little athletic training, a short run, some pushups. that was it. and then they just followed the list in alphabetical order from the beginning and thus sent a number of fighters to england. those at the end of the list had to stay in ukraine. i wish racial will still suffer when he threw was this disgust in advance in some way or, you know, they just picked this from the list randomly. no, look, they made a list of say, 200 people was then they went from a to b, c,

d. and further don't know. once the quarter was filled up like a 180 people, they stopped there. so she's julia who so you say 180 of you were sent to england. julia talked about it with others. janice, what was the sentiment among the troops? who did you have an expectations of the level of the training? the sure. yeah. so we all expected something more actual concrete with how exactly did you imagine it until you got there? the only problem with the additional charge a little. i personally expected it to be different. at times it wasn't even interesting. well no, what any of those are in curious mumbo got was to her. how do you get there? what kind of transport did you use was on google earth will somewhat of a move on a plane. and then by, by silver film, was it a direct flight dot on the surface? well, moodle they dropped us off somewhere in england. i couldn't see the exact location of the airport and then we wrote a bus for round 9 hours to do the postal service. did the plane take off from

ukraine? no, no. the dog loaded it, a sport from poland. and we left from ukraine from poland as well a little after again traveling by bus, somebody you forgetful? which bass will your training as in about from what i saw. it was called world war cup. so war cope. yes. you will. what was your 1st training day? like better? we didn't watching a caputo that i didn't what we just started packing our bags for the next day. they give us clothing equipment, a lot of it. what exactly did you get? so everything from underwear and socks to bulletproof vests helmets and medical aid kits. film was all full set, including a warm uniform, su crockett. does that? sure. when did the training itself start and b, y of good book, the assembly and the pillar did some so on the 1st day we just spent 2 or 3 hours packing our bags of cover. sure. the 2nd day was more useful that we learned to

take capital, had some classes on medicine and history. we received a british made weapons and started to learn how to use them. got his thought here, with acquired the snow. oh, your instructors. we had instructors from sweden, were there any british instructors there? there were some british personnel at the base of it, but they weren't the ones teaching us to what exactly did the instructors teacher to do? did you have any military service experience at all to start with you? no, not at all. crush, old chin and ward. are there any who served in the military among those $180.00 recruits? probably come with a solution. one or 2? la. really? yes. on you still to reschedule, did they in any way compared the level of the training they had received in the ukrainian army to that in england? or when you prefer the will? so when it there was a big difference on what exactly was difference. so it's about the program, i'd only spent 3 days on the frontline of it,

but what the swedish instructors taught us wasn't any useful for me in war. sure, nothing is like that. but they have their training standards that they follow. marshall door. okay, let's put it into details. you know, what exercises did you do? the key country of molly barking in which it is. it's a funny thing for 2 days. they taught us to hold a weapon so that you wouldn't keep your finger on the trigger all the time. something of a beginner level. we had nothing like that in the ukranian army. if as you say, none of their 180 recruits had ever held weapons in their hands, maybe that was the right thing to do is to put out on the instructors were shocked that i worked with timber. the others worked in i t or somewhere else, or it's like when you get an a, b, c book in 1st grade, when people see a weapon for the 1st time in their life, it's hard for them to handle it or yeah, they were always shouting, you'll shoot one of your own like that. feel to what else? i believe you didn't. lucille, she did you. so you spent about 2 days learning to handle weapons. what did you do next? share with newman and show us that us warfare we learned how to disassemble weapons

and assemble them again. then the tactics of movement just with unloaded weapons, which you would run when take cover behind a tree doctor to put a design you. what machinery did you say and learned to handle different temperature? no machinery. now no storage, we only learn to use british as say, 80 rifle, and a k 40 sevens at the end of the shooting practice lasted for 7 days. there was no machinery, but we learned to use and law grenade launcher. because little did you should the n law? not, i mean we had copies with nobody would give us real launchers thought. good, how long did the training last will soon which the whole training plus the road to and from last to 35 days that spin because there and examined the and next on no exam. just a lesson, we went out and held firing positions that was in russia. what were your impressions of that the start of this interview?

you said you were waiting for something different, was that it was boring sometimes why? you chew both school and the 1st thought, their car through overstretched in the army. if you failed to do something, you must learn how to do it in 5 minutes. and there, if something happens, they just pat you on the hello. sure. they're in the army. if an order is given, it must be done immediately, and there everything lasts to long hours. everything is different. so what happened after the training? no lost, but it is literally, they sent us back to ukraine. we had to be trained for the specialty as we were assigned to, but nobody trained us for it and they just assigned us to brigades. here we joined the 25th grade. we went, there are specialties, were just written in our military service cards. we studied nothing from there other who was supposed to train you to the specialties you were assigned to north for year than our military. not somebody had to handle a grenade launcher. somebody had to handle a mortar on the milton, the cordon, and in reality,

a perfect all in reality. i hold the specialty of senior shooter such as, but i served as a subordinate to the grenade launcher operator. promotion going on the merch. when did you get your specialty? who we upholstered when we came to the military base they, they took our military cards and just stamped them for southern pitcher tip of florida douglas previously. so you were taken back to crane assigned to units. where did they send you then, sir? uh so that was last roster. they sent us to different places. even squadron after squadron, i was in the 8th squadron will to marble with my old was feeding charlotte where you mixed with those ukrainians who weren't trained in the west virginia. no, that was, it was designed to keep here. we'll adopt for them. yes. yes, we were mixed around 30 of us joined my squadron. from what i understood, they sent us to a squadron that suffered heavy losses. faith that is to proportion quote, release is a machine you. how did those trained in england get along with those left without

this opportunity? the c o will ensure that there was was, there were no conflicts, no conflicts. and between those trained simply and with the business of, there were conflicts between ourselves ordered. there were polemics about who was higher up, people threatened each other, or somebody wouldn't like the other person pointing at them as well. why are you doing this? i'll cut your finger off for you or, for example, conflicts along the lines of. i put a vase somewhere and you put it somewhere else. why the key and the conflict rages on such disputes over little things happened to the 30 or maybe because the people are a war. we have possible conflict, but you don't to who to where did those conflicts come from your training together for a month? did you fail to become brothers in arms? war brassel was on the blue. kirk some, some pretty big. it's like everybody is on his own. what if that's what we were told, and there's no friendship between us. but there were seniors, sergeants, who said,

you have no collectivity from and we had none to was yet correct human with was your 1st combat mission, delaware. we were tasked to capture a settlement reserve crossing gorski or cross no pedal capital or something like that. our mission was to clear the wood and we drove an infantry fighting vehicles . there was a platoon of around 50 people about the squadron is supposed to have $200.00, but there was only our platoon. there were other squadrons that went earlier. we went there last. we drove 3 vehicles. mine was the last and we started to clear the area. sure. it was in the direction of lyman. things began badly before we didn't even have time to jump off the infancy fighting vehicle. artillery started to hit us if the fire was very intense, 0 very intense. many of us were wounded, but the order was still to move forward from re of did. did you move the way the swedish destructors told you. stalk for follow, come on the co, every one moved in their own way. the commander behaved poorly of a commander in our squadron,

meaning 12 people did not ran away and disappeared the next day. and before that, he didn't understand where we were supposed to go. that's the commander we had as all, every one moved their own way. when we reached a high point, we came under intense fire, including from firearms. we cleared the area and reach to firing position in the field. we were told the changed position. it was around a 150 meters from main forces that we got there got got in the trench and came under fire. they fired everything they had it as if there were 5 of us left behind before i surrendered. and there wasn't any healthy i had hurt my eye and was supposed to be evacuated. but nobody came for me. the guy with the radio sat said, i'll come back later. he went and didn't return. well, so yes he just did. lou were full in you, blissful go so you surrendered. what next war? madrid it or no they took me to the commander and put

a bandage on my i then moved me to another place by car i spent the night there. then they took me to the interrogation in the detention facility. you'd approval with multiple near put it been thorough leo hoff. before your mobilized? did you watch or reading crenan hughes? yes. lou cooker. and after being mobilized out to your 1st battle, what can you say about the news their body show? most of it before little more stable won't go in austin. so the news told us that ukraine is reclaiming its territories, but nobody talks about our losses. and we have heavy losses, or what i saw by the 4th or 5th day. there was nothing left of our squadron visible . me. what do you think now, there, when i returned home, i won't go to war any more, shall. oh what they won't ask your opinion if you are mobilized again. walter to what was arch if they will threatened me with jail, i'll just refuse the commanders. let me down. i was left on my own and to be honest,

i was lucky. the others are dead and i am alive and speaking now and more for the 1st time i saw people, even though i didn't spend a lot of time with them. but when you talked to someone and right after they lose half of their head with their guts slang everywhere, it's hard to visual ah, ah, ah ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be in arms. race is on a very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how

that strategy will be successful, very difficult, time. time to sit down and talk about the leak. sure. oh sure, sure. sure. was it wasn't a camera, so now i remember a few gun milan i oh, i was good to ronnie after winnie become wise man. very wise mom and he find the piece with a dad. i feel happy for him. i'm not feeling worried about i feel like grammy is good with really so i would be appreciated. we're really thankful for reading.
