i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with the russian military has successfully intercepted a ukrainian drone, flying near the city of birdie, else to preventing it from causing damage or in the things casual taste as according to local authorities, there are also ahead a u. s. politician bronze nato's chief war criminal. who should be dried up, the hague, for pumping ukraine with weapons and a year of fear and violence for the people of been in 2020, to say more than 10 fold increase in terror, attacked by isis. and i'll tell you to, in the formally stable west african country with

70 m and la pas 10 p. m and come around 3 in the afternoon here in moscow this monday, january the 2nd. welcome to the our, to new soccer. we began to with a number of updates in the ukraine conflict, rushes, but a young region has been attacked by ukrainian drone, according to the governor. there no casualties have been reported. however, one energy facility was damaged while in western russia photo neg region, another ukranian drone was reportedly shut down by err defenses again, no damage reported in nob instant. all these developments come after the russian defense ministry said it recently destroyed a number of ukrainian facilities involved in the production of drones. the m o. d stated it was done to prevent kia from carrying out attacks on russian territory. also, russia has intercepted a ukrainian you may be near the edge of the coastal city of bertie,

a coming from local officials in this, on verified for that you can see the work of her defense systems. no damage or casualties reported there. also arrayed sirens are sounding across a number of central and southern ukrainian regions, including the countries capital key, ebs mer, house confirm, one civilian was injured, after reported explosions. many regions in ukraine are reporting electricity just to due to damage to infrastructure. ah, providing more weapons to ukraine is necessary to reach peace. those are the words from nato chief in stoughton berg, who was later san by jeff young. the u. s. democratic party candidate for governor in kentucky. seeing mister thornton berg should face 30 years behind bars. speaking

to r t, he took further aim of the natal leader. it may sound like a paradox, but military support for ukraine is the fastest way to piece videos. it makes no sense at our location. the fastest past piece at this point it would be for is for the western united states, nato. the building to stop sending anything to ukraine. exception, humanitarian aid for the civilians who have been displaced not send any more weapons, any more money. every us president from 945 till the present day has been an aggressor and a war. criminal. nato is now under the direction of the united states. and the store and berg was chosen

in order to support us imperialism to the camera. so he's a war criminal to specifically and ukraine. mister young also raised a alarm that washington's anti russian on chinese policies could spiral into a world war. he's also previously called on the american military command center in africa to be abolished. and us bases on the continent closed, the democrat, criticize the economic sanctions to saying that they've blown back on his country. well, there's always one of the value of the dollar grid crash. and we wouldn't be able to afford to send any more weapons or money to ukraine because we would be in a crisis here in the united states. this propaganda since february of 2022

until today is the worst pro war propaganda i've ever experienced. in my whole life and 66 years old. so i think that my tardy democratic party and the republican party are all victims of systematic anti russian propaganda over a period of decades. and i blame mainly that propaganda for the way that my party members in washington vote for continued noah cherry assistance to the public government and ukraine. american politician jeff young speaking to r t not later in the program. we'll bring you a thorough breakdown of the roots of the printing conflict will analyze the chain of events that led to the start of russia's military operations. are

now the west african nation of bennett, and saw 25 carry attacks by arcade and isis linked. johannes groups in $2022.00 at 10 full plus increase over the previous year. according to a conflict monitoring n g o in the region, belin had in the past indeed enjoyed much calmer times now its neighbors due to better economic conditions in the country. however, events in bordering burkina, faso were french forces pulled back from an 8 year long security mission has led to a worse thing situation. we spoke to some locals in bennett about what they've been living through to like a debit. it is true that we live with fear in our guts, especially the people who live in the north part of our country. obviously it is because of the terrorists present in the region, even though the government doesn't always acknowledge them. people told, can people know what's happening on their land, especially on the border with mccain

a fast so were violent attacks are happening. so who, of course, everyone strikes for peace. of course, we know what's happening in the neighboring countries and even in our country, terrorists are here and they are growing in number. we cannot stay idle whenever you have a threat. people are not calm. of course, some countries in africa getting more attention than others. is it because international plays have less interest in buy name. maybe it shouldn't be like this . we all should have the same amount of attention to help us fight terrorists with the 1st step is our government needs to united before asking for help. internationally, we need to unite internally in the fight can moving the program now on in the year just gulf india made clear. it's interesting being a major stakeholder in a multi polar world. new delhi officials repeatedly stress at the south asian country will not be pressured by any state. i bring to you the greetings, off $1300000000.00 plus people from the world's largest democracy. we don't need to

be told what to do on democracy. we are resolved to make india. i've developed countries in the next 25. yes. we will liberate ourselves from a colonial mindset. externally. this means they formed multilateralism and more contempt at global governance because somebody said india buying a rollover oil from russia. i said the euro feels buy more than one optimal, and then i do an appointment. i have a moral duty to my consumer. india will respond according to its supreme national interest. look, let me make it very clear. india will buy oil from where they would it has to, for the simple reason that this time of discussion cannot be taken to be consuming population of india. people need to understand if you can be considered to be yourself, surely you can be consider it of other people. so if i, europe says,

look, we have to manage it in a way in which it's impact on my economy is not traumatic. oh dr. freedom or duck choice should exist for other people as well. countries in europe and the west and the united states. us focus on why don't they allow iranian oil to come into the market? why don't de la venzano oil to come into the market? i mean, they've squeezed every other source of oil we have and then say ok guys, you must not go into the market and get the best deal for your people. i don't think that's a very fair to pro you put asked by would anybody naisha trust europe on anything at all? and europe has to grow out of the mindset that europe's problems are. there was problems, but there was problems and not europe struck. well, let's turn focus not far from there to shred. like where must protest grip the country? in 2022 dissenting voices heard,

there were largely aimed the government mismanagement. and in particular, a relentless drive towards green policies at the expense of prioritizing the country's economic security ortiz were injured. sharma was following events. 2022 has been a hero. stronger for sri lanka, the country faced it's worse, our economic crisis. since it got independence and 1948. the economic crisis soon spiraled into a political and humanitarian one. in april, sri lanka defaulted on billions of dollars of external deb, leaving died a nation with no food, nor fuel and no medicines. at least half a 1000000 people fell into poverty. true long cuz economic collapse needs immediate global attention, not just from humanitarian agencies, but from international financial institutions. private landers and other countries must come to the countries aid. what followed was daily parlour blackout widespread

brought out on the streets, blendy fields outside federal stations. and all of that lead to the fall of the long standing roger buckshot government. oh, in july, this is war tree long gone. look like government offices run or war. public broadcaster hijacked presidential dallas ransacked prime minister, offers set ablaze, and president having to fled the country unceremoniously a little port all based in south asia. i have carla numerous brought us or what a decade. but nothing compares to what she lank,

our witness this year. but how did things go so bad? she long gone. biggest industries are to resume and agriculture explored, say a while. the corona virus bender make killed the tourism sector, as ban on chemical fertilizers introduced by the then president with our biological upshaw damage the agricultural sector. the import dependent country ran out of money. them completely depleted in november 2019. our foreign exchange reserves were at $7500000000.00. however, today it is a challenge for the treasury to find $1000000.00. we must prepare ourselves to make some sacrifices in face the challenges of this period. i'll be been good by to 2022 . the key was have gone away, but not the been the supply is have somewhat released on what the inflation remains . the new government was hoping to get a $3000000000.00 bill out package from the i. m f. my december. but to secure that

and had to renegotiate loans with its for lend does tighten budgets, spendings until it's revenues. what it looks like time is running out for sri lanka, and that it will miss the december deadline, which simply means more trouble for the island nation of $22000000.00 people, range and sharma, r t. and while aspirations of going green contributed to economic turmoil, interlinking, the west is pressing on, we're trying to sell similar solutions to other countries. this year is un conference on climate change sought to push african countries away from traditional sources of energy in favor of so called environmentally friendly policies. despite the course of that for they continent, n j, i accuse a executive head of an african energy law group. say's the west focus is hurting africa's potential with the producer from western countries, especially

d. e. u is founded on just i'm not. ready right, thing to do would be an african country lecturing them about one thing. we're doing something on the other side, african countries. ready that our resources are critical for our roles or i'm sure lies ation for us having a just a transition for us to leave. all of them are people out of poverty, but also for us to be energy poverty. we've realized that right now, at this time, we have no choice but to fail our right to use our resources. that includes our natural gas and coal, in some cases to drive up for life station. we have 600000000 people in the continent without electricity, 900000000 without access to play with most of them. we cannot leave them behind our

resources by g, r of releasing people out of poverty. i'm sure enough industrialization and creating jobs, especially for young people and women in africa. so we have no choice but to spend a bigger us. they are right to use our resources. ah, brazil pounds inaugurated louis enough feel like this as president for a 3rd time. he leads the country once more after a 12 year hiatus. let's come back, mark the return of the left to power. in a ceremony on sunday, a value to keep his campaign promises to defend the sovereignty, dignity, and independence of. incidentally, a man was arrested in possession of an explosive device and a knife in an apparent attempt to destroy the operation are we spoke with? but i know altman chief editor of online media outlet a for

a monday. he says brazil is attempting to help establish a true multi polar world. i believe that louis foreign policy will be active, no alignment, base it on brazilian and latin american interests. it will try to avoid shocks that to disrupt the brazilian trade balance or the flow of investments. but i think lula will try to be of institutions or to help to build institutions that end up burring. that uni paula. all the that existed after $99.00 to $1.00 with the collapse of the soviet union in this or dic, it will be more likely to approach china and russia pose tendency is to have the same over div to weaken the imperialist system led by denied state. well, just ahead of the ceremony, little the silver met with the head of

a russian delegation, who passed on a message directly from vladimir the delegation to this blue sky prison. his new leader has been invited to moscow to strengthen bilateral ties on stress that the 2 countries have a similar vision for moving away from a washington dominated meaningful world here. sure, but i know altman, once again, we have 2 from among the grapes and between brazil and bruship, i think, is to have a common economical plan and, and build an investment fund to develop in industries both in brazil and worship. president lula has this a issue very clear as it or the pipeline history united states. we alternate the relationship between bites and blows. i think rick, in the russian economy, for instance,

they may boost the board of brazilian oil and make offers in the area of fertilizers, but always pressing for brazil to align itself against russia. but i'm very much now that lula, we are set this dresser. israel allegedly launched a missile strike against syria some hours ago targeting the damascus international airport report say to syrian service men were killed and 2 more people wounded israel has yet to comment on the incense, but has had other syrian airports last year in similar rates. local correspond, muhammad ali has more coating good to an official military source in syria. at about 2 am. local time. there has been an russian on damascus international airport, which showed that 2000 and military personnel and injured the 2 others. according

to the ministry of transport, the attack, but the damascus international airport to our service, to however, only for a couple of hours perhaps about 6 hours later, the minister of transport announced that the airport had been reopened and called on at the syrian airlines to reschedule. on older flight, normally now this is not the 1st guitar for kind on damascus international airport itself. just last year. this happened and also called the airport to close. this is, of course, very important to say that history and government has some tens of letters in the past years to be not admission security council with regard to such attacks. but so there is international silence over this violation by israel to serious talking to you and also attacks. of course, the airport is now we open day, but the attack is definitely harming civilian lives and endangering civil civilian

lives. civilian air flights. also, many of the similar air strikes by a ro killed both military personnel and civilian throughout the unrest. interior now as mentioned or report that conflict in ukraine made up one of the top stories which dominated the use and global agenda in 2022 or to war corresponding among cost reb brings us now an extended report examining the long chain of events leading up to the start of russia's military operation. last february, a warning you may find some footage ahead district. what's actually prom says europe's biggest armed conflict since world war 2. a dispute that has so for claimed the lives of thousands of peaceful civilians. washington and the collector west have been telling you for months about unprovoked russian aggression. however,

it only takes a small effort and minimal research skills to finds out that the current events have been years in the making. in 2014, that the nets and lugens people's republics declared independence following a u. s. supported government cooling ukraine. the u on elected ukrainian government's response was to begin a so called anti terrorist operation against the self proclaimed republics. keith's airstrikes artillery shilling and ground troops started a barbaric war against peaceful civilians in done boss who wanted nothing to do with a government that they did not see as representing them. ah ah!

shortly after the republics became a party to the minsk accords that outlines at peace roadmap as well as special status within the ukrainian states. most importantly, the agreement should have provided for a lasting ceasefire. it did not be for civilians had continued to suffer with julian crane, i was at the de ukraine can be happy and proud of its violence. it's civilized people who are engaging any such things with my mom was killed. my dad was really wounded. i sent him to the hospital with moscow, stood firm demanding key of fulfill obligations that it was breaking on

a regular basis by shutting residential areas of the bus. but as it turns out, berlin and paris could not care less about the agreements or the lives of the people of dun boss. the cords were nothing but a stalling tactic that allowed the west to pump ukraine full of weapons. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give the crane time you can use this time to become strong as you can see today, the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of today. since 2014 ukraine has strengthened its military posture. it is the merit of the minsk agreements to have given the ukrainian army this opportunity. thus the time the prudent thought was an asset for him, turned out to be in fact, an opportunity for the ukrainians. 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,

hook up to create the best armed forces in eastern europe or according to nato standards. so, wait, does this mean that this so called peacemakers have been crying wolf all these years, while russia actually sought away for peace and for they done buff republics to remain a part of ukraine. take a listen and make up your own minds whether they were lying or telling the truth the i'm the i am i. when we had agreed that the minsk agreements are what we need to achieve a peaceful solution that's only 2 and therefore we have to stick to them. last could, i should have all gone clone, chancellor merkel meets with president putin off. when i meet with the ukranian president and his prime minister, we have the same speech, the respect of the minsk agreement. look, we say it with the same firmness to each party because it is the condition for peace. the condition for settlement when he showed up it is given schumer, sherwood was one of the only thing we agreed on to day with mister president, it is

a clearance strict coordination of action on unconditional and rigorous following of all. without exceptions, clauses of the means could criminal while the world was eating up. all this piece saw the collective west was militarized and pumping billions into ukraine. russian president vladimir putin has stated on multiple occasions that ukraine was preparing to solve the conflict in don boss by brutal force. he even provided intelligence and exact dates of anticipated, massive offensive. now that prompted russia special military operation designed to cure the lives of peaceful civilians and demilitarize ukraine, whose new leaders had gained a sense of invincibility. thanks to the multi 1000000000 flow of nato weapons and training way not to below much. it was 90. this war was not sorted by us. it was started in 2014, after the cool ukraine. it was launched by the ukranian authorities to suppress the will of the people in don't pass the guarantors,

france and germany forgot that they are guarantors. they needed to return the situation to a legal process, to hold elections. and on last, this was not done. whenever i remind my colleagues about this on the phone, they say nothing about it as they have nothing to say. they're just a month before the start of rush, a special military operation. washington sent over 200000 pounds of lethal aid and instructors to ukraine, while demanding moscow withdraw troops from russian territory its own territory along the border with ukraine. how the kremlin then demanded legally binding guarantees which would rule out nato's eventually eastward expansion. and hence, the deployments of offensive weapon systems in countries neighboring russia. why? well, because russia did not want neighboring countries to service points of attack against its own territory, but that was dismissed out of hand to gather the united states and our nato allies may clear. we will not slam the door shut on nato's open door

policy. but for russia, this was a red line. that's a key security interests and the country sovereign right to defend were ignored just like 25 years ago when the west promised not to expand nato, even an inch to the east. we understand that not only the soviet union, but for other european countries as well, it is important to have guarantees that if the united states keeps its presence in germany within the framework of nato, not an inch of nato's present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction we will sink is over. we intend to discuss all these issues in detail at the leadership level. it goes without saying that the expansion of nato sphere is unacceptable. we agree with that. they have agreed, they said, what said, take a look at the map and ask yourself if those promises are now worth. and nickel nato has more than doubled in size. now that's really dense of 2014 and the so called my

don process and key of that resulted in a power grab that was fueled by nationalist extremists, the autonomous republic of fi. mia was the 1st to sever ties with ukraine, with locals voting overwhelmingly in favor of independence, and becoming a part of russia once again. ah ah, now that was a decision that many had to wait for, for decades after the entire peninsula was transferred to ukraine by the sub with government in 1964. while the people of crimea experienced a relatively smooth transition, the streets of other cities such as address had turned bloody as auntie my dad. protests were violently suppressed. on may 2nd 201448 people burned to

death when they were trapped inside odessa. house of trade unions, which was set ablaze by pro key of radicals around 250 more were injured in clashes in the same area. so can you go from there? we're not just crashes in the city but arson and mass murder, so that ministers of building was set on fire. i knew people were walking around this building shouldn't at it with rifle. so this remote of cocktails and other explosive devices, roy foresman was tenant there. and just watching they did not do anything. the question arises, why? because they didn't have orders to, or because they received an order that they should not interfere almost 9 years later and still and no one has been held accountable for those atrocities. any scheduled court hearings were derailed by the so called patriots. the odessa tragedy became a point of no return that opened the door to an all out civil war. take

a look at the situation from russia's points of view if you can, and ask yourself the simple questions. could moscow leave the people of them both behind a population that has been suffering for nearly 9 years and continues to die under constant and indiscriminate artillery. shelling by ukraine to this day was the kremlin wrong, not to trust the west and nato, who palmed billions of military age into key of over all these years. is russia wrong? when it says natal expansion is a direct security threat especially taken into account that washington has never hidden is 3 reasons. the united states age ukraine and her people so that we can fight russia over there. and we don't have to fight russia here. so who really provoked the war and incited hatred among the people of ukraine? the answer is clear to the families of thousands of people here and on bus killed by keith's illegally in.
