the aa jjjj, the russia officially bands, oil exports to any country complying with the g 7 price. the decree will come into effect in february. it's a corrupt of society. plenty of people running ukraine, the head of a private u. s. military group that trains ukrainian soldiers admit so the country is corrupt, while also confirming the troops executed russian prisoners who, or who's the latest batch of lead twitter file reveal the us administration pressure, the platform to prioritize information on probate vaccines for the narrative of its

policies. the news hello for moscow to wherever you may be. catching us from. welcome to this hour's top stories from around the globe. happy to have you on parallel about russia has banned the export of crude oil and petroleum products to any country comply with the price cap earlier imposed by the west. which moscow brands as a violation of international law. r t is donald quarter, has more this presidential decree outlines special economic measures being taken in response to the western price cap on russian oil exports that was put into place earlier this month. according to the statement, russia will no longer supply oil to countries going along with this scheme, effective february, 1st of next year, up until july 1st. and since president vladimir putin made this decree, we've seen the prices of crude oil as well as gas go up across the board in the

international energy markets. now, this western cap on russian oil exports was set at $60.00 a barrel. and this was made in a bid to punish moscow for its military operation in ukraine and even moscow before this, this cap price cap was set, masika was warning that if such a thing were to happen that moscow would respond with not supplying these countries that go along with the scheme with oil. so this response is really not something that surprising. we should also not forget that much of the west has already completely embargoed russian oil. so this kind of price cap sets is really set up for countries 3rd party buyer countries such as india, for example, or china trying to bring them into the fold of the west foreign policy goals. and we've seen all across latin america, africa, and asia, that very few countries are willing to go along with that. earlier on tuesday,

russia's foreign ministers that moscow has friends in many parts of the world and therefore doesn't need to focus on partnering with the you. we can see how the ruling circles of your countries are acting to the detriment of the vital interests and well being of their own citizens. it's enough to mention as an example, the u. s. ban on european states to maintain a dialogue with our country and the energy sector. of course, there will be no more business as usual with such counter parties. we don't intend to knock on a closed door or initiate any joint projects. luckily, the e u is not the only partner for us. we have many friends and like minded states and other parts of the world. if and when there is a bitter hang over on the european side from the current wrist of phobic. rage followed by sobering up if there are clear nationally oriented politicians who understand the advantages of an equal and mutually beneficial partnership with russia, i assure you there will be no problems on our side. we discuss moscow's latest move

with senior research fellow of the global policy institute of london, george wiley and geo. political analysts show me longer before we get to the perception that when russia is being sanction lifted in time are not able to respond. so this is the response for from the russian president from the russian federation that will send the record straight. that's not going to come in here and play your games as if now the oil and gas for the energy that has controlled wondering washington, especially the european countries, are the ones that i had to suffer from just decreased by the ones that are really sticking to russia, i do to get up in bed, mom, geez, only that was in countries that are more of an issue that i show it would benefit him from the resistance of russia. but i want to stop. what this does is makes

clear to everybody else in the world that it is not in your interest to go along with this g 7 e. you plan to impose the price gas. because if you do then note while for you, and obviously, as you know, russia has pointed out particular president who didn't want to have repeatedly. it is absolutely nonsensical. the stupidest idea imaginable that consumers can set the price. so he is essentially, by doing this by threatening to penalize anyone who joins in with price gap. he's actually getting the support of many countries in the world, the particularly commodities producers who are very upset about the idea that consumers will get to set prices. because of course, when consumers set prices, they are going to set the price is as low as possible. the head of the private u. s. military group, which trains ukrainian soldiers has slammed the country as corrupt,

while confirming that ukrainian fighters commit atrocities by killing russian prisoners of war. our teeth ache or shine a 1000 to the story. the mozart group, an american private security company that proudly markets itself as a veteran military force providing training to ukrainian soldiers inside the country. it was founded by retired us marine colonel andrew milburn, who's been repeatedly put in a better style for helping out the key of in this time of need. yet, as it turns out, he is very, very far from a fan of ukraine. it's a corrupt of society the let you know. so i'm not, i'm not a big fan of ukraine. it's not about ukraine. we're not like, i have to have, you know, you ukraine flank tied to my bag, but i'm not. oh my god, ukraine. so awesome. no, because it's i understand that funny people running ukraine. it's not

about that. it's about global norms. right. right. that's perfect and well, melbourne didn't. mens his words there. but apparently there's a lot that the mozart group is morally prepared to forgive and forget the cranium in violation of the hey convention. they're filming of a number of things that they're doing with p o. w 's is by lady laura laura vom conflict co due to i mean every nose surrender. i mean and then now there was plenty of all this is something you wouldn't expect to hear from the same person who publicly glorify the war in ukraine as just. and it's far from the 1st contradictory statement from milburn. in fact, his accounts of what's happening on the ground in ukraine have been all over the

place in one see in an interview. for instance, the former colonel is unequivocal. all foreign weapons send to crane accounted for . i would say that the very last concern that the united states government should have right now is that these arms end up in the wrong hands. and it's almost like his evil twins and appears on c b s. with a statement that sounds the polar opposite. i can tell you on arguably, sat on the frontline units, these things and all getting the all right. drones switch blades. i fax that off. all right, body on the helmets. you name it. is it safe to characterize this is a little bit of a black hole. i mean, i suppose if you don't have visibility of whether stuff is going and if you're asking that question, then it would appear that it's black hole. yeah. now cave of course,

wasn't impressed by the reporting and somehow managed to bully c, b. s to retract and take down the piece. but there have been heated concerns over western arms and being up on the global weapons, black market. this unverified footage, for instance, proposed to show us and european made rocket launches, meant for ukraine, ending up in syria and over and africa. the nigerian president has publicly blamed the conflicts in ukraine for crippling his country's security. regrettably, the situation in the saw heal and the raging war and ukraine service, major sources of weapons and fighters that boasted the ranks of the terrorist in late chad, region. weapons being used for the war in ukraine and russia are equally beginning to filter to the region. all this comes as no surprise to anyone who's been following events in ukraine long enough over the years. and the nazi groups like the as a battalion that used to be reputation, li toxic, and officially banned from receiving west and weapons,

have now being rebranded as heroes. ukraine's own image has been polluted so badly by rampant corruption for years. but this year, he somehow got the power to send any western media outlet who dares to bring this up. but as long as this can be weaponized to have russia, he will continue to have its cod blanche. the raisins editor chief max blumenthal says the mozart heads words will not have any impact on the western attitude toward ukraine since it's used as a tool to the stabilize russia. the contrast with his portrayal in mainstream publications like the new york times, which wrote a puff piece about retired colonel andy milburn. he's kind of a famous figure in marine circles. and now he's running one of the biggest mercenary companies in ukraine, the mozart group. but then here you have him on this military groupie podcast called team house. like after an hour, his speech starts to slur. and then he really starts to lift the mask and says,

it's not really about ukraine for him. i ukraine is a screwed up society in so many terms. it's run by in his words, sick people and the soldiers are rampantly committing atrocities. actually one of the host tries to walk back the term atrocities, and he corrects and says, no, these are atrocities, and they are being committed there. so it was a very candid session, you know, drinking session with colonel andy milburn providing a view of ukrainian society that he had a front seat to having train so many soldiers. and that u. s. media still refuses to tell americans about as the host of team house said, we can't actually start abandoning our ukrainian partners at this point. even though in the u. s. military, he claim that you would be done if you film po w's on, on camera being shot and summarily executed, as we've seen from ukraine. but i don't think this will have any repercussions for

that war effort as a whole, because this is what the $45000000000.00 already allocated for 2023 by congress. which just clapped like seals for zalinski is paying for it's paying for these atrocities. this unprofessionalism and the u. s. military intelligence apparatus is willing to go along with that as long as they get results, what are the results they want? it's what milburn and his buddies in the man cave said they were weakening putin and destabilizing russia. ukrainian president zalinski held what he described as a positive phone call with india's prime minister. this not long after kiev top diplomatic. he's new delhi of capitalizing on the ukraine conflict by cooperating with russia. the opportunity for india to buy russian oil at a cheap price comes from the fact that ukrainian some suffering from russian aggression and dying every day. if you benefit because of our suffering, it would be good to see more of your help addressed to us. in

a conversation with indian prime minister modi, the ukranian president express hope that india will help implement his formula for peace, which contains 10 steps to stop the conflict. one of which is a restoration of ukraine's territorial integrity. present the lensky wrapped out by wishing the indian prime minister, a successful g. 20 presidency in 2023, and new delhi based foreign affairs experts. as the ukranian president's controversial track record means give can't be trusted to uphold a new piece deal again and ski has said back to he expected india to do to come in and mediate a 5 piece. but the question here is he is ready for the piece because as we know, after when this military of the finish started to have to once been 2 months that

there we have negotiate group. he had mediated between both countries. and we had received news that some, some substantial progress had been a few of them, but suddenly he, he backed out. so, reality in that didn't sky as i a june, is not an independent lip. he is here. his policy over his this quarter was, is reading can toward long term with we all know what i mean from time with it's long it natal headquarters was long that united states the recently released twitter files open day pandora's box of revelations on how far washington is willing to go to interfere in the personal health choices of citizens manipulating social media just to keep its grip on the narrative. it's the latest in a string of western government scandals this year. as our

t marina call center about explains the latest leaks of the now notorious twitter files show that washington was manipulating what users online saw regarding coven vaccines? well, maybe that's because key figures had something to gain from it. let's take a look at doctor anthony found t. this is america's top a health official, and he just announced that he'll be stepping down as the head of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases and as chief medical adviser to president biden. well, the timing is definitely interesting. do you know anyone who works for a social media platform doin or somebody who works for a social media platform or at this time well, of hunt communications with mark zuckerberg in the past? do you know anyone else who works for a social media platform other than mark zuckerberg? when you say, do i know somebody who works?

like do you have acquaintances, people that you know who work at social media platforms? well, a person who used to work as a software engineer for twitter was my daughter. so america, top health officials, daughter, worked for twitter. so in a position to potentially alter a few things according to her dad's wishes, who was in a position to benefit from people getting vaccinated. 27000 royalty payments were paid to 1800 and i and i age employees. can you tell me that you have not received a royalty from any entity that you ever oversaw the distribution of money in research grants? oh, well, 1st of all, let's talk about this. you know, that's the question. have you ever overseen under received a ruling agreement from a company that you later oversaw money going to that company? you know, i don't know, was a fact, but i doubt it. joe biden's,

chief medical advisor isn't sure if he profited from the pandemic excellence. well, we know how much wiser made $22000000000.00 in 2021 or a $1000.00 every 2nd. and we now know that the 1st vaccine that was sold to the masses in america both literally and figuratively, wasn't even tacit for efficacy before it answered the market. regarding the question around and did we know about stopping immunization before essentially the market? no, at these are, you know, we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market. and from that point of view, we had to do everything at rest. it's hardly surprising than that across the pond. the e. u prosecutor's office has now opens an investigation into coven, maxine purchases with all eyes on the european commission of presidents. it seems

that arsole of under lion exchanged a few tax messages with pfizer, c. e o. before cementing the multi 1000000000 euro contract, acquiring 4500000000 doses for 450000000 people. well maybe this case will shed some light on her involvement because so for the commission has refused to release any details about bonder lions roll in its negotiations. the commission can confirmed the search undertaken by the president's cabinet for relevant text messages corresponding to their quest for access to documents has not yielded any results. we asked the commission to provide us with information on the preliminary nego stations for this agreement. scientific experts consulted and advice, received timing of the talks, records of the discussions, and details of the agreed terms and conditions. however, none was forthcoming. hardly surprising. well, it took a couple of years to get the league slinking, washington suits sweaters,

cove it policies so we may need a few more. so uncover what lies beneath the billions, if not trillions made during the pandemic. independent china specialists and are long says that washington allows major u. s. corporations to profit from global challenges. first of all, those see americans up whose standards of our free freedom of speech, freedom of expression. and of course, that the united states been criticized in countries like china, russia, and other countries for allowing freedom of expression on anything that even threatened their own national security of these countries universally known fact. they're big businesses, especially this will call a military industrial complex as part of the, the us government machinery. so, and, and then the big oil companies and the big coal companies. so they promote their,

their own vested interest in even opposing climate change for example. but as to whether or not the big pharma would benefit in definitely, i mean, of course, they've been benefit hugely with all these vaccines and they turn on, you know, they're different types of scenes and, and, and, and different very and so, and so, so i'm actually to make a lot of money on that to nigeria, now we're petro, shortages have caused prices to skyrocket with the latest report by the national period of statistics showing a dramatic spike in transport cost compared to last year. according to the report, nigerians are now paying 97 percent more for domestic flights in 45 percent more for bus tickets in comparison to november of last year. from this past february, fuel shortage is spread from the capital to other parts of the country. as

a result of the crisis, petrol stations are selling fuel at higher prices than the one fixed by the government. while black markets speculation is rising, the country, the only importer of fuel the nigerian national petroleum company, says it has enough stock, but there are problems with distribution. this comes amid a global energy crisis with restrictions placed on the imports of russian gas, nigerian politician, adamo garber, the 2nd says the anti russian sanctions have provoked the smuggling of oil from his country. by j, like everyone else going to in the war is grossly dependent on energy. so when you have a fuel price grain, all it means that you have hired or they're very high, possibly be on the situation is completely not connected with a series of global events assumption that is imposed on russia regarding for him petition due to the war between russia, ukraine,

is that what is affecting what you see when does some showing what's supposed to place of provincial up? it is supposed to been if it was nigerians of part of the it's what of one point. what is unfortunate that there are so many criminal gung in cannot ones with their haunting models that us moving out or in nigeria? well, it picked up from or pick to produce about one point it to 2200000 bottles. plenty . but as i'm talking to, you know, almost 500002 several 100 toes on bought it by day he's been stolen out of nigeria . most of our lives told him in collaboration. would you put him back in us on this point is finding its way into european american ports, you know, and is shutting out in his porch and on our income and make you live much more difficult for nigeria. sort of actually a, to me, i think the issue is going to really not going to be they would force it 20 country

ah. and taiwan has decided to extend its mandatory military service from 4 months to one year starting in 2024. that's as china began ramping up, its military activity in the taiwan strait over the weekend. just days after the us authorize a massive security assistance to aid the island the united states is concerned by the people's republic of china's provocative military activity near taiwan, which is to stabilizing risks, miscalculations, and undermines regional peace instability. we will continue to assist. i won in maintaining a sufficient self defense capability in line with our long standing commitments and consistent with our one china policy tension between beijing and washington escalated after you as how speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan back in august, after which other us lawmakers and foreign delegations also began coming up to visit the move spark fury from beijing,

which in turn launch unprecedented live fire drills encircling, tie one the man is not doing what president told the chinese leader in body. they are walking the wrong walk, while sometimes they talk the writing talk. if you read a dangerous mind of some of the decision makers watching that, they probably want to be the largest dealer to taiwan, make all the money in the wrongful way, and tried to instigate outbreak of the military conflicts. and then they will come to the top of the claiming themselves as angels. but i think the chinese people on both sides of the power strikes have enough wisdom to see through what the united states is, dewey. because what the united states doing is not for the fundamental interests of the people in taiwan. it is against the parliamentary interest,

the people of china, and philosophically it is also against the fundamental interest of the american people. because the american people do not want to see a wall proceed. china and the united states for the sake of us government's support of tie was separatism, as tension between washington and beijing. continue to store this by biden's attempts to melt the ice. some expert say the biggest problem come from us lawmakers to keep testing china's red line. for more on that head over to r t dot com. the now to the balkans were tensions in the north of kosovo have been escalating. serbian locals have use laurie to put up new barricade blocking roads to proceed. this comes after reports emerge that around $1500.00 soldiers of the breakaway of coastal republic were put on combat readiness, and could intervene in the north of the region. me to report a close to the police,
