ah, ah, done yes, for public authority stay russian troops have almost completely encircled the ukrainian. how found a vocal adar as intense battles in the area continue? burkina, faso and molly joined forces to counter the ongoing threat of terrorism. amid frustration at french forces failure to topple military insurgency in the region. and in a prank called, veteran u. s. foreign policy hawk, john bolton, warns european allies against the go shading with russia. that's the mid western claims of loss goes, unwillingness to talk with

good morning for martine or national studios in moscow, and welcome to the hour's top stories worldwide. i'm fear allies about we start with the latest news on the dawn bass front lines, local authorities in the russian don. yes, republic say russian forces have almost encircled the key town of ogle, adar, south of the republics capital. this comes as russian forces continue to ramp up their offensive in the area. meanwhile, ukrainian forest had shelled residential areas of daniel within apartment building, taking heavy damage. in total 8 towns were shelled by ukraine on thursday, leaving one civilian dead. our teeth are among causative reports from the town of justin over koya, which has been shelled by ukraine on an almost daily basis. ah

. the city oh yes. and the water has been under constant ukrainian shilling since 2014, and it only intensified in the last year or the last 12 months. at least 40 local residents were killed by ukrainian artillery shilling, and hundreds were wounded. vicious love was right in that room, drink and see when a shell landed right into his house. this is what it looks like right now. according to local officials, there were at least 3 shells that around and right next to his house. now he was doing maint maintenance works here and he just stepped away for 10 minutes to have some tea and this happened. so he survived this strike miraculously scar. i started, they tried to kill more people, obviously to scare us like, well, we have lived here since 2014 and don't plan to moose nichols and i even managed to

join the army. now i'm in the reserves and came home to try to fix this. these types of pictures are absolutely everywhere. now, in that yes, in nevada, according to the mayor of the cities, me trisha jenko, at least 2000 private houses and multiple apartment buildings were destroyed as well. you can show hulu and push the push logo when settlement liberated from ukraine. ukraine shells them to the ground to destruction, and such harris is at 90 per cent, or even 100 percent. they kill everything that is left behind and scorched earth tactics. if we're talking about those killed was 40 people died you in the previous year and about $130.00 people were injured. i'm on them civilians, public service and railway walkers for was normal, isn't nevada used to be a major railway hub in eastern europe, however, right now it's not really functioning. and that means that sir, thousands of people are currently out of the job. they're hoping that peace will

come very soon, so they'll be able to support their families once again from on cosser of r t. then that's cru, public and made continuing ukrainian shelling of the don bass regions civilians are literally being left homeless as their homes are destroyed. we visited one of the many refugees shelters in the russian lugens republic to speak with people who until recently found themselves in mortal danger. but not ship a little hook. there is a war in my town. everything is destroyed, my house is destroyed, the ceiling has collapsed. it's good that i wasn't there when it happened i would have been under the rubble. but it's good here the food is good. the treatment is good. fuck up with amino folk risk and the shelling has started. now i'm here with my mother. she has high blood pressure and stomach problems. now it's better, the medicine has helped him, but all the same, we need to continue the treatment. another middle of the ritual of you,

i was caught in the showing. there were 3 people. one was killed and i was wounded . we were all civilians from the same village, no shim winter, i didn't show you. pleasure for them to. everyone reacts differently than everyone has their own psyche. some survived under the bomb ski, literally all people here in a poor, psychological state. but now as we have been living with these people for 2 months, we're already like one family tradition. and e, you ukraine summit is to take place than care on thursday with brussels top rise, preparing diligently for the trip. the e. u has reportedly sent out a memo, instructing officials to not wear anything green khaki or too brightly colored, essentially anything that could distract from the camouflage go to worn by ukrainian president water mirrors the lensky. such fashion statements are not rare for the e. u with e. u commission president and ursula on their lay and wearing a bright yellow and blue outfit mirroring the ukrainian flag in the past.

meanwhile, the west has long sought to control the western narrative of ukraine and not just in the fashion spare the viral clandestine twitter account, recalled a leak recording in which biden demanded that poor shan't go national lives, private bank, all but threatening the former leader with consequences caleb martin has the story . the investigative journalist who goes by clan desk dine has shaken up social media once again. this time reminding people about the leaked phone call that took place between them, vice president joe biden with them president of ukraine. poor shank, back in 2016, the american v. p was on the phone with for a shank discussing aspects of ukraine's financial system. biden had some very specific demands regarding certain banks i'm

in or where you think about before. so any right to year forward or last that apparently sounds a bit like a threat this the way you would expect the sovereign leaders of 2 independent countries to speak with one another. why is it that joe biden would speak this way too, afore and head of state, and what is biden getting at when he says sophisticated enough to know the details?

so many questions, and so few answers, anyway. portion so replied that he was simply waiting for the auditors report from ernst and young to come out. and once that happened, he would assemble the head of the national bank of ukraine, government officials, and the minister of finance. they would all get together and make the ultimate decision. the only reason we had both of those and why do and then launching and then buys and promises. he's going to keep everything a secret. and on december 18th, 2016. everything went ahead just as planned. private bank was nationalized, justice biden had stipulated. now the main stock holder mentioned by poor a shank, go ukrainian oligarchy, ego or

a polar moist sky. he was outraged and said it had been done without proper procedure and was purely a government graph, but who actually cares, especially when the international monetary fund, which provided ukraine was $17500000000.00 in aid in 2015 back to the decision to nationalize, provide bank, now some critics look at this and say the whole thing looks like a giant fraud with the i m f and the ukranian government, the supposedly sovereign playing along with side. and who can forget how joe biden bragged about getting a prosecutor fired in ukraine. prosecutor was investigating his sons, company rhythm hold. western media would have us believe the brain is a totally independent country, and the russia is rolling in to take it over. however, leaks like this to jazz that ukraine has been firmly in the pockets of certain people, not people in kia, bought on wall street and in london. and of course in washington,

d. c. caleb martin artsy, new york or ross, me as in eurasia centers, executive vice president says ukraine lost its sovereignty back in 2014 with the u . s. dictating its policies. well, ukraine is the, is known to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. the most corrupt in europe, also we had the ukraine is, is been for decades and has been a target of the us to, to contain russia. and, and it's goes even before 2014, it goes there even before then we get to remember to is at the time vice president biden was the he basically was appointed governor, i guess you could call him that, or the viceroy or the basically was responsible for you and,

and let's say that ukraine has not really been a sovereign country since, since the but my don crew that occurred in 2014 so. so it's, yeah, i biden was the point, ma'am. perhaps the crap he had his hands in other things going on there. perhaps the president obama wanted to keep a distant western states should not initiate piece talk to moscow. that's according to the former us national security advisor, john bolton, in a phone call with famous russian pranksters, both on and lexus, who pretended to be representatives of a former ukrainian president's. to me, the, the important thing is to continue to course the russians militarily. i think, i think this is a winnable war and to,

to stop efforts by whether it's the french or the germans or whatever it might be to try and negotiate with the rush across has said publicly, several times since february the 24th. we have to find a deal, it's acceptable to the russians. and that's, that's why i worry that today and thanks, he can break western resolve. and i think good, he really hopes to win politically what he can't win militarily on the battlefield . that's where the real testers and i think we are vulnerable. they're just so nice to see john bolton taking a break from flying to overthrow governance, to refuse to kish watson's backside, to kick back with an old friend, former ukranian president. petra, for a sango and lament all the wasted regime change opportunities at washington and nato passed up. you know, just are average banter between dudes between buddies, a guy, bolton, those so well that a couple of russian pranksters, vaughn and lexis were able to successfully impersonate them by sounding pretty much

exactly like they did every other time they prank the other high profile western officials and the best and brightest brigade. bolton told the fake poor shinkel that mince agreements were terrible because they let europe pretend that the attacks on russell phones and the don bass were achieves responsibility. except that they were. and even if they weren't, when unrest broke out in syria due to isis and western back syrian rebels. bolton, and his neo con bodies argued that president bashar alice said needed to step down simply because he had lost control of the country through not his own fault. the former un ambassador, a national security adviser to former u. s. president donald trump said that the u. s. also made a mistake by not quote, punishing russia for the 1st attack on ukraine. he's actually talking about the unrest of 2014, during which his neo crime state department pal, victoria newland, was spotted handing out cookies and caught blabbing on the phone about which ukrainian opposition members would make up the new government both and also claim

to regret not bringing ukraine and ga, into nato on a fast track back in 2008, which europe rejected. but nato expansion equals peace in bolton's world. because of course, it does. if the entire world belongs to nato and answers to washington, then there's no descent, no opposing interests or agendas. and therefore no one left overthrow bulletin also reveals that he tried to work his seductive magic on belarus and steal away the russian neighbor. how on earth did president alexander lucas jenko ever managed to resist this? the reason that i wanted to see because shank, i was to see if we could pull him away from moscow. and i really, i really felt that this was nato had created this problem in many respects by stopping its expansion and leaving a grey zone was moldova bell rues ukraine for the russians to make trouble. and so

we had a lot of missed opportunities. there's no doubt about it. bolton didn't have anything nice to say about former president donald trump, who hired him as an advisor. they seemed to have a bit of a difference in world views just the other day. trump, who has recently been advocating for a quick peace deal for ukraine and immediate negotiations wrote on social media quote. i found john bolden to be one of the dumbest people in government, a total unhinged war monger, one of those stupid voices that got us into the middle east quicksand. bolton is hardly alone in advocating for more weapons as a pass to peace. as nato secretary general young stilton berg said this week, if we really want to crane to prevail as a sovereign independent nation in europe than we need to support them now. military support to day makes it possible to re he piece agreements tomorrow. but as long as president putin believes he can win on the battlefield, he will not sit down and engage in good faith. so the paradox is that actually military support ukraine is the best way to achieve a peaceful,

negotiated solution in the war, or for the war. sure, and stuffing her face at an all you can eat. buffet is also the key to weight loss right. bulletin has now added yet another crusade to his list. by the way, he's been running around talking about kicking turkey out of nato because turkish president reject air. tuan is resisting sweden's integration into the alliance on swedish public t. v. a few days ago bolting called, or to want a thug and a quote, mussolini in waiting, showing off his finely honed diplomatic skills. bolton regrets that more weapons haven't been sent to ukraine. president joe biden has drawn the line at supplying fighter jets, which is a relief because, i mean, come on how many more items further down zalinski wishlist from fighter jets or things like news, but may be buy it and we'll find a loophole in his own promise. and just allow other countries to send their own f sixteens to ukraine as a senior pentagon official is told the western press recently,

neil con interventionists like bolton, and military industrial complex stakeholders would certainly appreciate that effort . ah. the prime minister of burkina faso visited molly on thursday to discuss co operation against the threat of terrorism as the countries continued their years long battle against your hottest and sturgeon's days. the decision comes after both nations expelled french forces frustrated by their failure to defeat the militant insurgency. we could create a flexible federation that would be mutually reinforcing and respect the aspirations of both sides. our forebears tried to create groupings like the molly federation, which sadly did not last. but they showed us the way creating a new federation should be undertaken. now. thousands of people took to the streets of working fossil capital to celebrate the french militaries, the thrall protesters waves flags enchanted down with french policy and africa,

with some seen lighting fires in the street as they ventured their anger at the french contingent. a local correspondence told us more about the suffering caused by the militant insurgency in the region. 20 person came in 2 different attacks. monday the government a book also announced that good buddies of 15, penn from out by thing is of the good luck by till is group last week where discovered in mongo data area 545 kilometers west and we'll keep that fossil sadness and cost a mission are the feeling of looking abby, this is the plural. it is very sad to see an identified people attacking civilians . the situation in our country is not easy, but with the new president who took office 5 months ago, i hope it will be fine. among it, hearts are high, it's an human,

but all we can do is be strong. i know one day it will end and there will be no more terrorist in our country and in the war, we mustn't despair. we must be strong and support each other. in success, it's a situation that really saddens us. it's awful that armed men can cowardly attack unarmed civilians. these men act so because they can no longer gain the upper hand over our defense and security forces. so they have no other choice but to attack the population this fall and good to know for booking at fossil 360 kilometers of what good to go was. and so time did it by terrorist failed to pass on, were killed, death, 4 days after victories, were defeated in then after the plan again, the min minutes came of the city according to ablaze. tell john alice. and i'm really no doubt till this have decided to increase the fear in the population don't call. so i think that the strategy has terrorist, a scant people,

tara is about creating as many victims as possible with any means they can use an unfortunately, it is always going to be civilians who are suffering and dying. another ways of fire, but be fossil as of november 2022, around 1000000, 810000 have left their home cities and villages, according to you and reports 60 percent of the internally displaced persons in fort lately. keith's themes of toddlers in biopsies, our stayed by tourist repeatedly reported last week. 2 buses reported picked were passing is in the southwest volcano, in the village of think k c. go to the voters of to go and got however of late tell he believe there is no reason to lose hope about the situation of looking at

fossil to do this. that is your school. i don't think we should despair. this is, everyone knows that we're at war against terrorism. our goal is to see the evil. so to fall in despair. now that means we're given up as a warning men fueled by western weapons supplies to saudi arabia, drugs on a british government lawyer has argued in favor of continuing arm sales to re add, well being grilled that the u. k is high court. the barrister says it's hard for the saudi military to avoid committing war crimes, but blamed it on the yet many rebels who the tactics made it difficult for saudi arabia to operate within the principles of international humanitarian law. they were no uniform, haven't any differentiation in their vehicles, and deliberately use civilians and civilian infrastructure as shields. the court case began after a u. k based and geo,

the campaign against arms trade brought legal action against the government over its lucrative arm sales. just saudi arabia, re, as military, has been accused of committing multiple war crimes during its 8 year intervention in yemen. civil war, however, london and its defendants insists the u. k. is not a party to the conflict since 2015. the u. k. has license at least 8000000000 pounds worth of military aid to saudi arabia for use in yemen. some estimates say the actual sum is much higher. and if all additional licenses are taken into account, the real figure could be closer to 23000000000. the british weapons include military aircraft and bombs, which have been used against cities held by the who the rebels. some 9000 civilians are said to have been killed by the saudi led coalition. political analyst, alexander mcbay says the war is another example of britain serving its own interest

year proxy conflict. the british government claims that is not a party to the conflicts. it starts as laughable as their other claim, which it did not a party to the conflicts in ukraine, either without british government support in terms of arms sales and also in terms of the operations of the saudi apples which operate under a heavy advice and coordination from british and american officers and in a coordinating center that operates in, inside saudi arabia. britain is an integral part of this war and has been for many years now. the british government wants to continue as well, because not only is it targeted against the yemeni movement, which is dedicated to fully restoring the sovereignty of the country. but the british and the u. s. government also see this other war by proxy against iran, as well. the profitable nature of the british armstrong, the saudi arabia, is there for all to see if you just look at the sheer numbers involved. but more

than that, this is about the british government using an alliance with the saudis, to maintain the influence over these regions, which they can't directly occupy any more. and this is why the sales will continue that in the, you know, the enormous amount of money being made. and it's why they won't back off this war and you haven't. so it say, what is actually going on here is a very brutal, cynical calculation of. busy britain still operating as an imperial power in the region. the russian president has joined celebrations and vulgar grad, formerly stolen garad marking the 80th anniversary of victory and arguably the most decisive battle of world war. 2 sullen grub, saw the armies of invading nazi germany stopped and thrown back with the red army. then going all the way to berlin, delivering a speech at the ceremony. bladder, mere food and said it's shocking that german tanks are again being sent back to ukraine, decades later. neither yet. you are i yes, no,

no fucked. it's hard to believe him, but it's a fact that we are once again threatened by german tanks. this time, leopards with crosses on them once again coming to fight russia in ukraine by the hands of hitler's followers. the been terrified those who drag european countries, including germany into a new war with russia and expect a beat rush on a battlefield. apparently failed to understand that the modern war with russia will be completely different for them. we are not sending our tanks to their borders, but we do have something to respond with. and the use of armored vehicles will not be the end of it. in general, it has been a couple of days that the local here have been celebrating this. well, very, very emotional date for so, so many of them because so many of them have relatives have grandfathers and some even fathers who fought, who took part in this well, very bloody and hard fought battle that ended up with the soviet troops who saw good soldiers taking the city back from nazi germany from the troops of vermont.

and basically this is just one of the venues where the people, the locals can come and world celebrate and see what the local authorities have prepared for this big, big day. he and of course, with the russian president coming here. this was significant. a date on this anniversary just adds to the symbolism. and of course, we could see and hear the russian leader while drawing parallels between that date and that battle, and that fight that fight during the 2nd world war against nazi germany and what russia sees it is doing right now in ukraine. meanwhile, the pentagon has spotted what a believes to be a chinese surveillance balloon encroaching an u. s. air space. the military is considering taking immediate actions to protect homeland security. you can read this story and much more on our website at our key dot com. those are the top stories this out or,

and up next. russia's foreign minister survey lab rob sat down with sputnik earlier for an interview on key issues of foreign policy and the current russian international agenda, particularly centered around the ukraine conflict and russia's intentions. find out what russia's top diplomat had to say up next. thanks for tuning in. we'll see you back at the top of the hour. ah, ah, nice to come to the russian state to little, never, i've done, i'm phoning no slant steve to him. then. i'll set up for a coup in a fishy babbled keys on my knees garden speaking with little ban in the european union, the kremlin, yup, machine. the state aunt,

rush up to date and split our tea sport neck. even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest and we put with me for over a century and a half. the german question has been hotly debated during that time. germany was at the center of 2 world wars and the cold war. now it appears berlin and is abandoning its post hitler policy pacifism and non intervention. and again, russia is the editor. ah

oh, when i was so seemed wrong, when all things just don't hold any world to see out disdain. because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for the common ground. ah,

ah, it'll open up my room with such shim nips. i thought questions going to be the question that 1000000 psion, if not millions of people off can to date which is when will this whole thing be over after d? no was neither knew muggles cuz i sl, our goal, the goal of diplomats or our military. the guys who are there right now, working on ensuring our independence, protecting the interests of our culture, the people who want to be part of russian culture. i don't think they're asking this question. when will it be over unless they focus on doing their job when to the us, they want their work to be fast and efficient, which would minimize the losses. and our support, both emotional and political is.
