why the battle for marrying ca, 5 j kapinsky. why these battles are taking so long. and that is because these bunkers are everywhere built over the last 8 years by the ukrainian military. built in completely nondescript places above us. this is just a small family whom a private residence of downstairs was unarmed store and the barracks for ukrainian soldiers. power is rationed. food, water, ammo, and fuel. i carried 4 miles before they get here. nothing is wasted. in the early hours of the morning we woke up to what fight as here. cool, an approximation of hell. a deafening call for the blasts and explosions, pure and utter violence. without end all of this footage,

we filmed in mere hours 3 says, i a view of the battle grow. this. the ty area covered in smoke is where ukrainian positions up to 300 meters away from us. currently, russian artillery of all fronts and colors mod has houses, was air craft tanks ah

ah, the she held on ukrainian ru credit troops. the battle for monica has dragged on for almost a year. most of it is now under russian control ukraine and its supporters. they publicly admit, now we're never serious about peace talks. it was cover, they spent 8 years preparing for war. they turned modica into a modern day fortress, almost impregnable, almost. whoa! each would choose russian to $25.00, close support to close ground supported craft. coming in very low flooring there

and guided munitions rockets and getting out before euclidean at the fences have a chance to de la corden lodge who's day by day, month after month. russian troops have demolished ukrainian fortifications. here, here has said thousands of drafted troops into the meat grinder to hold the mighty inca, but there is little doubt that the city will soon be taken from us as thoroughly, frankly, this is unpleasant for us destroying these buildings. the city, it hurts our souls. but we have no choice, this is our land, and the enemy has thrown his reserves at marin county, they use their troops as cannon fodder. they plug any holes with corpses of their own soldiers. they spare no lives, no gig, and if it were pushing,

but there are difficulties, the enemies resisting and digging in their fighting for every house, but were pushing them back and advancing. ah, ah, a round mud inca artillery is everywhere. lease automatic mine launcher. the what shall yoke as if he had thing, ah, muddy nga is strategically vital. it is a gateway to that yet. if you crane loses it, it will be a devastating blow to morale. both civilian and military. kiev understands this. it is willing to pall thousands of its troops on to the pile, to hold halter modica, which may well be an approximation of hell or ad gazda of

r t from madigan and guardians, are being sent to the front lines of the ukraine conflict, even though it's not their fight, that's according to hunger. it's foreign minister who says it's ethnic nationals living inside ukrainian borders are being forced to fight for kids in addition, ukrainians, hungarians also die in this war, since on gary and living and trans capacity are also conscripted into the ukrainian army with him some footage in recent days of how brutal it sometimes is. unfortunately, this is an exceptional occasion because an international political life, despite the fact that the world needs piece piece is rarely talked about. and those talk about it are even stigmatized and criticized. and verified amateur video circulating on social media reportedly shows ukrainian authorities trying to force a middle aged ethnic con, gary and men to join the army. plenty of similar footage has also surface from

across ukraine, as that's up its efforts to draft more people into the military to compensate for heavy losses on the battlefield. budapest says hungary and its people have already paid a high price for the war and ukraine, while stressing that hungary itself is not a party to the conflict and must focus on its own security, global policy research or george them. while a says the oppression of variance in ukraine is strikingly similar to how key has been treating ethnic russians. the man by the disposal of the key of government gets smaller and smaller, and obviously the suffering enormous casualties and moves and so on. so yeah, they kind of basic to try and get everyone on boy, you know, the minority, you know, the elderly children, what whatever's available, they're going to try and push them to the front. but the persecution of the hungarian minority has suffered,

such as the ban on education in hungarian, the elimination of manifestations of on care in this such as the flag, cultural sense of everything, all that has been eliminated. but that's often what this supposed to my down regimes is about what they've been doing and gearing dissimilar to what they did to the russians. what the, in the case of the russian layer were more numerous and they enjoyed the. ready support of the, of the neighbor, which is russia. garinger not as numerous. and obviously a longer is a very small country and is limited to what he can do for his fellow hungarian. ukraine's a larger push to use ethnic con gary ends as fresh blood for its war effort. is another reason why budapest is insisting on peace talks between moscow and cab, hungry, foreign minister has criticized his german counterparts claim that europe is fighting

a war against russia. also stating that some world powers are taking steps to drag out the conflict. budapest, as it has no intention of getting involved and neighboring crecia doesn't want to join the fight either. its president has sarcastically wished germany good luck and winning a war against russia this time around. oh, do you want us to go to war? the german foreign minister says, what must be united because very well with russia. i didn't know about said, maybe germany, it was russia again. good luck to them. members, they will do better than 70 years ago. and the long running western reluctance to donate advanced tank to ukraine has finally melted down as the u. s. has about to send $31.00 of its m one abrams. although washington has warm that you have will actually see any american tanks on the battlefield before spring as they require advanced training to be used by the ukrainians. the u. s. as promise comes hot on

the heels of the german chancellor pledge to supply 14 of its leper to tanks, along with ammunition, logistical and maintenance support. berlin also allowed its european allies to re export their german made tanks to kiev. russia has denounced the american and german initiative as quote, a rather disastrous plan. meanwhile, the arms race in europe is forcing denmark to take some drastic measures as the country's defense minister insist that women should serve in the armed forces to increase the size of the military while claiming the move is needed to protect the country from russia. we've got the details on our website at r t dot com just by already agreeing to send its tags to kev, washington has warned, the vehicles won't be deployed any time soon. the abrams require advanced trading for the ukrainians, who will operate them, as well as sophisticated supply chains should be set up near the front lines. 8

atoria. u. s. government hawk has now spilled the beans on kev's upcoming offensive in the spring while admitting that ukraine won't actually see any american tanks on the battlefield before then. abrams, as you know, are very sophisticated tanks and they require significant training. so even as we approved them yesterday, it's gonna take some time to get them to the battlefield. so this is not something that's kind of appear in time for the spring offensive. what is the most rigid brings it which underscores what i said, you know, we've been asking for this for 6 months and you started 6 months ago. they'd be all ready for the spring offensive. so what, what, what happened here? who's, who's to blame for this? u. s. defense contractors are now rubbing their hands as they, i even more lucrative arms deals for ukraine. the state department has admitted that the war is good for business. as america's weapons maker saw massive boosts

and profits last year. art is caleb martin investigates who's lobbying the arms trade and making the big bucks in the u. s. the announcement at western tanks are headed to ukraine. had the defense contractor, lockheed martin all set and ready to roll. lockheed stock is all over the battlefield with their mobile artillery rocket systems. they're javelin missiles and they are patriot air defense systems all making an appearance. lockheed martin is going to be ramping production on f sixteens in greenville, south carolina to get to the place where we will be able to, to backfill pretty capably any countries that choose to do 3rd party transfers to help with the current conflict. us state department data says that weapons manufacturers made huge profits in 2022. the grain conflict was a huge game changer with a 49 percent boost in profits over 2021 and new contracts are currently in the pipeline now to oversee new arms deals. the house and senate armed services

committee has appointed 8 commissioners to review biden's foreign policy. not surprisingly, they came straight from the defense contractors, me. i, in the in the pentagon can even keep track of all the billions of dollars poured into it consistently failing multiple audits. the white house wants to keep the war and

ukraine on a role, and military corporations have no objections. ukrainian embassy has even hosted military corporate sions as guests of honor known forever that ukraine is the most corrupt country in europe. the entire mainstream media in the west knew that up until february 24th of last year. and then they conveniently forgot that that particular thing when they began praising the plucky democracy in ukraine and how they're fighting for our values. well, it's certainly widely known to see us military contractors, lockheed martin bracy on the others, have made record profits out of the ukraine. war for the entire system is corrupt. you have a revolving door between government officials and so called private sector defense contracting firms and their executives. you put in your time in government. and then when you're out, you get a very, very well paid jobs in one of these companies. and that's what drives a profit. so these companies are not driven by patriotism or even any concern

whatsoever to the really us national interests. they're driven by deep, deep corruption in the u. s. government. and in these companies that are tied to the u. s. government to the detriment of all americans who are forced to pay for them. germany for an office has received backlash from african union officials. after criticizing the russian foreign ministers efforts to enhance partnerships during this tour across the continent are cheese africa, corresponding corolla, top blood gives us the details on european sentiment in the region. the russian foreign minister love ralph is in africa not to see leopards, but to bluntly claim that ukraine's partners want to destroy everything russian. here's a thread with all of his evidence. hi, german foreign office, your boss and alina burbock, visited the african union based in one of the more than 20 african countries that

germany enjoys reciprocal diplomatic relations with. did she come to see animals? or is the continent of africa? it's people and wildlife. just a joke to you here on the continent. it was really encapsulated by carlindo who responded to the german foreign office. really, i think she leads him with most african feel that the germans cannot simply act like they don't have a legacy of their own. and they will not part of the great colonial story of how you rolled over to africa and really deprived of its development. she was reminding germans that here the b i here on a foreign policy basis. and they have relationship, a reciprocal relationship with more than 20 african state. and that wouldn't be here as they also here to look at a free control such as animals. and, you know, not necessarily for africa development for us here on the african continent is

really as source of great heard and point that if bill you know, saw to the day and it plays into a big narrative. now it's one thing for the german part of us to say that no, that was all set in chest, that the leper in this case represented tanks of ukraine. well, they, it's no war that's been what on the african continent. and for a long time now, a free kind of felt ended leave saying that this is not going to be a platform for europe to have is geopolitical war on any superpower. i actually to come here and speak a war on the african continent. the will not have with a literal or diplomatic was being held here. and it goes into the big story. and you know, part of the story that they say that the german for an office that if they say that this was all just a joke, epoch, alondo points taken and sorry,

we value our african partners. our tweet was in no way intended to mean offense. instead, this means german made leopard tanks. we wanted to call out the lies that russia uses to justify its imperialist war of aggression against ukraine. the 3rd party that they say that they were attempting to clear the air and correct mr. lover of on some of the misinformation here. well, no one on the african continent actually expects an explanation out of russia. the continent was pretty firm when the war started, that it will not be engaging in any kind of rhetoric between superpowers. and that they clearly understand the position of germany. and what the natal ah, grooving, had done to push russia to the place that it is today. we believe that europe still views africa within the prism of colonialism within the prism of less then. and they have still to treat as all look at africans as equal people with their own

urgency. and this reminds me of the that the, the comments by e u foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, who really stared up emotions of his own. when he said the following futile is a garden. we had built a garden avenue. she works is the best combination of our political freedom, economic prosperity, and social cohesion. that the human kind has been able to build this 3 things together. the rest of the world must of the rest of the goal. it's a jungle and the jungle could invade the garden and the gardeners should take care of it. they were here scouring around, looking for all kinds of alternative to russian gaz that had been placed under sanctions. the of the ones who consistently come to this continent looking, asking,

begging, and instead of looking at as a equal trading partner, continue to look down. and the west wants to maintain it to exploitive policy towards africa. that's according to russia's foreign minister who has latin bastard western countries for plundering african resources. for centuries survey lab, ralph made the statement during a media conference with his ever trained counterpart while visiting the african country american, british, and other european delegations regularly come to africa and very stubbornly demand that african countries stop cooperating with russia and avoid breaking away from the common agenda which the west caesar as the restoration of colonial dependence in a new form. the establishment of a multi polar world is an objective, an unstoppable process. however, the collective west, the united states, from nato and that you are completely under washington control,

are trying to reverse. their efforts are futile with the most that can count on is some slight inhibition of the object, of course, of history. time fortunately, 0 g o. we can cut in, can you pang humanity in got rid of it, cut to so i mean a school proper and pis of greek and dummy notions that have in cavity turmoil a most human savaging and pilot for centuries that as an forbidden ukraine. he's and he says, a byproduct of directly policy ok, germany and containment, that they have put, pursued in their fast the case during a structure, eritrea survey laugh. rob also visited a monument to legendary russian poet alexander pushed in russia's foreign ministry . spokeswoman underlined the positive african attitude to the legacy of the world

famous writer. while she also took the chance to criticize ukraine for demolishing some of its historical monuments to russians. we been following the russian foreign minister on his african tor. here's archie's donald quarter with the details. richard sergei labrons last stop on his latest diplomatic tour of africa and today's press conference. we heard be a retiree and foreign minister speak a lot about his country's disdain. for washington's neo colonial policy. he pointed out that nato is at fault for the ukraine conflict, for his constant attempts to cling on to the unipolar world that emerged after the fall of the soviet union. nurses, foreign minister said he agreed with this view and appreciated the position that a retreat has taken in the un in regard to that. you also reiterated that moscow is against interfering in the affairs of sovereign nation. in contrast to the west, neo colonial policies. lab, rob said that this is why russia and a retreat. i have

a good relationship based on mutual respect. now i was able to ask survey live rob about russia's position on the recent ty, grade piece agreement in the region, and why the european union did so little to help bring an end to that conflict. with right now, it is very difficult to understand the policy of the european union, especially after they signed a declaration on full cooperation with nato only a few days ago. they really need to decide already what kind of future they're planning for themselves. there's nothing we can do to help of that, and we're not going to interfere lever. i've also mentioned a number of mutual projects that russia and a retreat plan to implement, to develop cooperation in the mining military and agricultural sector. and lastly, russia. foreign minister also said moscow will take steps to protect a retreat from the west, illegal sanctions and further projects that potentially come under their umbrella. and that will no doubt ensure that friendly relations between the 2 countries will

continue to grow freely. the largest common corporate history that the accusation against a donnie group, a giant trading corporation, owned by the richest man in india and all of asia. a notorious wall street investment firm claims that group is engaged and multi $1000000000.00 stockman, if elation, fraud, ad, money laundering allegations, the indian financial giant has strongly denied. and it turns out the american firm itself short sold some of the donnie stock before making its claims. as ortiz room due, sharma explains the wolf heard wealthiest man indian billionaire golden. donnie found himself falling down the rich list. danny sheds plunged and he slipped to being on the 4th, which is to position all this after an american investment research group revealed that it had shorted a danny company shares and then published damage report on companies alleged bad

business practices. the report by hindenburg research group accused the government on the group of engaging in stock manipulation and accounting fraud schemes. over the course of decades. a donnie is a shells richest man. he's also the chairperson on the $120000000000.00 adonis group with interest in bought airports, power generation, power transmission, green energy, edible oils, real estate, to name a few. now asked by the us research group, the company has been enrolled in a large stock market scan in india, spanning or what could to years. but short sales are known to thrive on confusion and panic. and in this case, hindenburg goals, the adonis group hom, of around $5500000000.00. the d, the report was published. meanwhile, the donnie group has dismissed and denied all the allegations. questioning the

happening in the, in the market right now. but the main issue is that just the news that came out. and so even though the reports were not even tested out, or even, or there's no tools behind the ports after even then the market only had a big dumble and already took a huge hit on the other market. if they have taken a short position, then it will definitely benefit them in the long run until and unless to an otherwise that donnie is involved in this gamma. not it's still a mock and mine, a patient black to something didn't both say it be could have at least dr. b danni group because i ended up to actually get to know what the real situation is. but this was more like a direct attack on a danita company. those were the top stories this hour and of that decades after getting their independence. african people still suffer from economic and political pressure from the west as they try to maintain their sovereignty. find out more on battle for africa next on our team, a blue
