countries in order to achieve new, large scale arm supplies, the ukraine. this would not have been the 1st time ukraine would states flash provocations in order to find support in the west. last year, our world headlines were full of stories about and youth from boucher ukrainian city. the russian forces return to keeps controlled you 2 successful negotiations that sir took place of the time. a western media were presented with corpses of civilians on the streets of the city, and that's just 3 days after the russian army left, the linkage between the dead and the russian military was established immediately without any fag based date at the back it up for its sport, russia has vehemently deny delegation. so in general, the latest ukrainian provocation falls in line with the key of attempts to boost military support from the was due to its own failures on the battle ground. as

them off they will clear forces. meanwhile, death who are relatives of ukrainian fighters who are said to be missing, all income timothy, have taken to the streets of kia and local media labeled on march of widows, women with the holding photos of their husbands. cooling only governments to help in hand. the protest follow multiple eye witness accounts, suggesting that it was not to retrieve some of its wounded and slain service men from the battlefield. meanwhile, family members of a russian soldier whose being held captive by ukrainian troops. so that being extorted by individuals threatening to kill the military prisoner most who responded to the incident by calling on the international community to persuade k of to respect the geneva conventions, which call for the humane treatment of p. o w, the russian prison. his family has released the following. wish you might find distressing. i truly warmer during jim

this is not a democratic government. this is a government that imprison opposition leaders that has tortured civilians killed civilians. we know that the government has been attacking its own people in the dom bass. 201414000 people died even before the special operations began. that goes against the narrative that the west is trying to maintain and that is this, you know, man, a can view the world where the trainings are the good guys, the russians of the bad guys. and this allows, you know, the justification for tens of billions of dollars a military or a to continue to flow, do you, it's nato weaponry. that is allowing the military to continue to fight and to continue to carry out work. at least 68 people are confirmed dead in

football players in the neighboring country. they were reportedly assaulted on saturday by a group of 15 knife wielding individuals shouting, we were waiting for us in a capital of bows near his house. one of the parents described the incidence. what do you see there? about 10 to 15 men with covered faces entered the hotel pepper sprayed the parents and stopped one of them with a nice it was really help. our kids are very scared. there was panic among them in the hotel until the special forces came in calm. the situation last night was pretty intense in this. it was there was a children tournament in football where several teams from serbia came to join up to station regional touring. and so they were years from serbia, wasn't really integration. so one present and they're meant. but unfortunately, not even these children's event who go without internet, the parents or the children were setting one of the hotels, or in fact,

plates evenings and even got stepped by a group of students that were here knowing that they are served in there in this hotel and they said that we could be waiting for you. so that means that they were preparing this one before they did it. the parents were, of course, shocked. those sub, some of them were wounded. the gender, terrified in this beautiful opportunity for children from all around the region to join together and to share laps and enjoy was unfortunately missed and abused by this terrible event serrano system. socialist this aside from all that happens before the police came, one officer said something really disgusting to me. it was a provocation. he got up close to my face and said, what do you want? pardon my language, but it was really like that. i didn't expect the police to react like that. his

coworker on the other hand, came up and reassured me with a hug. yes. my kids were standing next to me and he said, calm down, we will protect you. we're here now in situations like this, people really need to show their humanity above all low. rather one more happened on the field because one of the children of teams from creation was recorded the same page. seeing the jumping, a song he'll kill, kill serves. and this incident was just one of the many in a cabin best knight and the mayor of ben cottage, you basically know who called me after the event. because 1st of all, she did that for several hours. and then afterwards she tweaked about it about in a day to say for one second and then he was about service. she didn't mention

service at all. so some of the, from the side will not have the full context in mind when reading because she said she said her profess suite that you get inside work. and then in the next week she said that people from bed with that so no indication of mentioned that it was sort of being children and serbian parents, that's where that and they were at that executive cause they were service. and the hooligans themselves said that they can take them on it for that reason. and because of the so called propagation, although no serbian flags were brought to their flag on the team on the team that was playing. and the problem is that the letters on the fly were written in cyrillic and they can now move on to the club. and those who are going to start that is a pro cation and the situation is currently that parents are deciding whether to go back to read. and it's really the police of the conference.

and i will send that they can arrest for the kids that result. there was a group before thank of them and the more, more or less everybody is shocked by the why this events happening was the last night. ah, laughing gas applies will eventually return to europe. that's the conclusion made by cassandra energy minister. he said the western functions aren't going to last long. the europeans to day are saying, there is no way we're going back to rush and gas. we're all blast to have to be able to forget and to forgive. and i think things get mandate with time. they learn from that situation and probably have a much bigger diversity, but trash and gas is going back in my view to europe. speaking at the global entity conference in doha, they could sorry minister warrants there won't be any new l. n. g storage is for europe until at least 2025. it comes to mid the,

you case decision to start buying oil from india's largest refinery, which imposed the commodity from russia. and d, as in ports of crude oil from russia increased further in december 2022 topping 1000000 barrels per day. for the 1st time ever as moscow remained, its top oil supplier and a 3rd month in a row. now this new scheme would mean person will be buying russian. phil. oh, be it indirectly defying london's own sanctions against moscow? banking andrew economics professor richard vanessa. europe is struggling to replace russian energy in ports b could. terry energy minister who's heading b. um, the oil and gas company is really looking at the facts and, and the reality. and he's very much aware of the european demand and requirement for energy. and the reality is, as he points out, that the us supplies that everyone is now preparing for. do take

time, i mean there's not enough shipping terminals to receive it. and so there's, there's a whole number of logistics issues you conscious overnight switch to american or the gas supply. so the reality is, the gas, the gas from russia will be needed. and we really see in the u. k. india, a case that these india measures are now being taken where essentially russian gas is being imported. but it's just not admitted. that is russian gas because it 1st goes to it from russia to india, is refined there. and then imported to the reality is dead until 2025. it will be difficult to replace russian gas. the winter has been somewhat mild this year. so it wasn't so far hasn't been
