black and 28 dean allegedly with you as support on the e is struggling to trace frozen russian cuff that sits promised to give to ukraine with only around 15 percent of the funds i counted forth across the block with wherever you're counting the program from this hour. welcome to moscow and the global news roundup. on our team. more video showing russian prisoners of war executed has emerged online that comes a day after other frontage was seen, showing ukrainian troops shooting a captured russian soldier in the head. the u. n. has verified and condemned kelly and warning. the following images are disturbing. the new footage appears to show the aftermath of the 1st video. several dead russian soldiers captured by ukrainians are lying on the ground. they have severe head wounds out appears to

show execution style killings a point blank range, occurring after the men had been captured. the russian foreign ministry house released the statement slamming the west for his silence over key as a legit war crimes. the latest execution of russian prisoners of war is largely on the conscience of the western curators of kiev, who created this nazi regime, raising a generation of ukrainians. obsessed with the idea of hatred and national superiority . a shameful fact is the silence of the international structures that have shewed professionalism and objectivity for the desire to curry favor with the united states and other western countries. again, disturbing footage ahead, the scenes we just saw came after this is the 1st part of the video which emerged on social networks and number of days ago on purports, the show a ukrainian soldier shooting a russian service men in their head multiple times. such actions are regarded as war crimes in violation of the geneva convention,

the u. n. human rights office said it considers the video to be authentic and has expressed its deep concerns to the ukrainian defense ministry. the son. well, it's not the 1st time ukrainian soldiers have been accused of killing russian po, w's. some months ago footage appeared on social media showing ukrainian troops killing all norm russians who at surrendered. also last year video surfaced, showing members of the neo nazi kracken battalion shooting captured russian soldiers in their legs. the united nations has documented several such cases and has called for investigations to tick them middle, it's been reported. russian troops are currently intensifying their offensive at multiple points on the conflicts. frontline bottles are ongoing in the key and yet square public city of archibald scanned iran, google adar r t correspondent, eager shit down offs in don bus on file this report for months. this boss

of the front was an estate of a dead stalemate. ukraine tried to capitalize on last year's counter offensive, and sweep through the la guns republic, but its troops, eventually that broke down. and now russia is trying to turn the tide with russia. it's hillary providing cover for the advance. the crown forces

a vast and dense natural reserve here has become the main fighting arena. key of troops are swarming in the woodland. their positions are scattered every few 100 meters away from each other. so far, rush has made its gains there. it's a modest yet steady pace and funnel gonna fall into. but when i don't know the situation on the front line is stable. where advancing towards severs moving forward. little by little from last chance, and it's becoming more quiet. mom, there is now much less return fire and of the enemies artillery was forced to retreat through suppression fire from the so laid our direction also. there are plenty of firing position so it has become easier to work here. we can stay on firing positions longer and shoot more. a t of soldiers are forced to abandon their long held trenches and some simply don't make the escape in time. like this fighter . now in captivity, he revealed that many make it out

a tool scheduled you're going to people say to the full battalion, go back to article, not in 25 out of 60, it's sold, his voice would all were mobilized from heidi gothic. we have no local senate trenches. he was only my full day on the position in russia has beefed up its forces on the ground dramatically through a wave of mobilization. and now it seems is starting to reap results. but its troops grew, not just in numbers, but inexperienced 2 of them. it takes us 10 minutes to occupy a position and open fire after recognizance locates an enemy target. and if we're already in position, it only takes 3 minutes. russia's offensive may not look impressive on the map yet, as ukrainian and western officials unanimously raise the alarm. there's more where that came from. i'm a get done of reporting from the dumbass odyssey the united states will

not impose sanctions on india for importing russian oil with an official suggesting washington will offer an exemption as it focuses on cooperation. we're not looking to sanction india. our partnership with india is one of the most consequential relationships. when you delhi did become the biggest importers of russian crude last year after european countries imposed sanctions. over the conflict supplies from russia then rose again in december, passing a 1000000 barrels per day for the 1st time. while last month it hit $1700000.00 barrels. analysts say part of a reason for that massive increases because western states are not buying russian oil, but through india. so note with sanctions there, but more for a rough washington has imposed new punishments on to ron targeting companies that are accused of facilitating the sale of really and petroleum on petrochemical products to asia. the us treasury department said that 6 around based manufacturers

are being targeted to 3 firms in malaysia and singapore. professor, all political communication at the university of karen food is on the questions the galaxy of these new us sanctions against era. in the last number of mine has been able to sell more oil and filter chemical products in comparison to last year. for example, us sanctions, obviously causing difficult but it hasn't been able to what i'm factions, casey is, are buying u dot net or, and realize that the sanctions are inigo unilateral americans sanctions, the un or any other international organization has not sanction iranian only. and then profits come generally company age.

and this is the tradition that we have allies that following united states. is that the sanction i think it's washington fears and this is what they have admitted. that if they punish india, india would prevents to china and strengthen it's like strategic partnerships with china and russia. india does not need the u. s. c . u s. that needs india authorities in nicaragua have released from jail more than 200 qu plotters. they had tried to over through the central american nations government back in 2018 and what was claimed to be a u. s. funded operation. it wasn't about negotiate in anything that has to be clear. we're not asking that they leave the sanctions who are asking for

anything in return. the united states should take their mercenaries. well, i'm investigation by the gray zone media outlet claimed american government agencies. such usaid helped organize the insurgency by funding rights wing groups. hundreds of people were killed then in chaotic scenes was armed, gangs attempted to storm the presidential palace with a party wednesday, killed the head of state. those jailed over the crew attempt where later labelled political prisoners by the us state department. earlier i spoke to nick argue a based independent journalist, ben norton, who believes washington has links to violent extreme this right across latin america. that in stage was the main sponsor of the violent, very right wing elements that tried to overthrow nicaragua democratically elected government. i personally have interviewed a man who is a security guard at the mayor's office in the city of messiah,

and he was tortured by these coup plotters and he lost one of his arms. so there are very many victims of violent attempts in 2018 and we have documents showing that many of the leaders involved in this co attempt were funded by the u. s. government through traditional ca cut out like the u. s. agency for international development usa id and also the national endowment for democracy. the any the one of the co founders of the any d o in weinstein told the washington post, that it was created to do basically what the cia had done previously. but to do it out more covert, more overly in the open and the any d and the usa id spent tens of millions of dollars, funding opposition groups that oppose this on the needs to government and the elected president, daniel ortega, and of course, anyone who knows the more recent history of nicaragua, going back to the 1900 eighty's. no, this is not new united states in the 1980 s through the ca,

armed in trained terrorists, the contrast, they burned down schools and hospitals according to one of their former leaders. they use terrorism as a systematic tactic. they put the ca, help, the contrast put mines in the porch to blow up nicaragua ports. so for many people in the corolla, unfortunately, it wasn't surprising to see that the u. s. government returned to those same tactics that it had used in the 1980. you've seen that as you've been explaining directly. how would you generally then assess current as it stands today, u. s. involvement in lots in american furs? well, it depends on the country in nicaragua, the government is completely sovereign and they have now expelled many of these people who were funded by the u. s. government to try to buy only overthrow the government. but unfortunately, across the region, there are governments that haven't been able to be as sovereign, where the same tactics are used. and these organizations that are funded by the u. s. government to try to destabilize the government. we saw something very similar

in bolivia in 2019 with the author of the president even what we saw something attempted in cuba, which didn't succeed. and of course in venezuela, be who attempts have been completely non stop going back to 2014, 20172019 with one boy though. so that the stabilisation and attempts never end, but the responses of the government has been different. right. so if a government, which is sovereign, tries to prevent these 2 plotters funded by the u. s, from overthrown their government. then the u. s. deemed them authoritarian, the u. s. imposes sanctions on them. this is the same thing that we've seen in venezuela, cuba, nicaragua, and then other countries that don't take action against the coup letters. well, they often get overthrown, as we saw in 2019, in bolivia or right now in peru. washington's a nice plans to ease sanctions on the syria, mid mounting pressure over aid flow to the earth. quick stricken country being

pampered by the restrictions. the us treasury department issued a license authorizing any age related transactions for the next 180 days. however, it excludes serene officials who remain on the sanctions list, essentially the government, back in 2012, then american president, brock obama nines. the u. s. would formerly recognize the syrian opposition coalition as ruling the country rather than the official said lead government, which is in control of most of the country's territory. with the 1st tranche of aid, only now days and days later, reaching opposition held areas of syria at washington sought to blame that the lays on the government and russia. reality has been up until now at least that one country primarily has stood in the way of that. the russians have consistently threatened or use their veto when it comes to expanding

border crossings. we're going to continue to make the case. countries around the world are going to continue to make the case, and we certainly hope that russia and all those who would stand in the way are hearing and see these just heartbreaking images. well, the devastating earthquakes that hit the regional monday have killed more than $20000.00 inter kia syria, including $1200.00 people in government held areas of the latter. the musket said western functions, particularly those from the u. s. had blocked vital, a getting to the bottle nation already. roberts, by years of war, the un secretary general also stated sanctions should not interfere with urgently needed relief efforts in the nation. or vanessa. bailey, independent journalists, based in serious capital sais, the u. s. shifting blame onto the syrian government and russia, combined with empty sanctions relief promises is hypocritical. this comes across as

another empty gesture by the united states probably are following in the line of that politicized zation of humanitarian aid to syria. both before and during and after this particular humanitarian crisis. if people look at a map of feria and the areas that are currently occupied by the u. s. by the u. s. assets and syria, which has been admitted by jake, fall oven to hillary clinton and by ambassador jeff raised to the trump point man on syria. mike pompeo, that alcohol or is an asset for the us in the war against the syrian government and, and allies. if you look at the map of syria and you look at the northern border, it is totally under the control of either the armed groups affiliated to turkey and nato members, state or, or to al qaeda, the u. s. asset and syria. even the b, b. c,

and even the new york times has put out reports saying that it's very difficult to get your monitor and supplies into the northwest pocket because of the control of alco, either the russian, a veto over the humanitarian border crossings between turkey and syria. again, this is complete, a poker, c, y, with those or border crossings, reduce the case what they were being used for. and this has been reported since around 2013. they were being used to ferry terrorists arms, weapons and equipment for the armed groups into syria. ok, let's talk some big numbers. the e u has apparently feel to trace more than 80 percent of the russian financial assets that it has frozen. that's according to the blocks lawyers. officials are seeking to give the billions in cash to ukraine, claiming that news is entirely legal. if it is at all seek it. some of it is, we will also be mobilized to ensure that justice and fairness are applied in

relation to the frozen assets. it is right that these frozen assets be mobilized to support the reconstruction of ukraine and be mobilized for fair and legitimate compensation for ukraine. it bills, it is clear, assets being russian taxpayer money and russian business sven's money, according to estimates based on a bank of russia reports almost $300000000000.00. all those sony russian assets are currently frozen in the u. but as he had only a few dozen 1000000 have actually been traced by member states, artie contributor chris and discuss the implications of the story with my colleague, rory sushi earlier. the thing to look at is if we look at these numbers, so the, the european union at the beginning, they reported that they seized $258000000.00 of russian assets. you know that the gold currencies and they were running that really based off the, the numbers from, from the russian government. and, but coming back with a rolled it, which they've come back this way. they've only found $36400000000.00,

which begs the question, where's the rest of the money gone? i mean, it looks like it's probably or would be effectively being taken already. or there's a massive, massive over the sierra, which you wouldn't really expect from brussels unit. it has its own currency. the year i run by its own central bank. it just makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. but, you know, obviously we've had zalinski during this whirlwind tour, right? now of europe, london, and paris and brussels and all that. but i guess when it comes to the issue of frozen assets or even that the potential for stealing these assets, because that's basically what it's going to be as theft. why now? well, i think you've had it on the nail on the heads, right. very gate eaters, let's me gang round saying give us your planes, give us your planes. i don't think any of the european leaders and even the americans wants to give these planes cuz it's completely worthless because that number one, ukraine, his comp, fly them, and number 2, that very expensive pieces of kit that they need for that their own national defense. i think that's part of the problem, and then we just thought it just this constant constant issue that we're seeing over and over and over again of, of, of just, just patty lies that they just found to justify now. and really,

the only way i think to justify is to create another sort of storm of a, a story in order to, to, to make the world see that, you know, at, i don't think also it's fault for the taxpayers in these countries to say to them hey, you know what? it's okay, we're not gonna make you shut out for the next lot. we're going to give them money . that if we're going to feel money from russia basic, you think they're going to get away with it. it's, you know, really sadly, i think they probably will not tell you for why. i mean, we sold the bank of england do this to venezuela. my old margotto gold is still sat in the bank of that, or they haven't spent it. but the fact that they were able to get away without, without really seeming much outside from the international community and doing it, you know, that's quite frankly illegal. you may not like the policies of a government. there are many governments around the world, but you and i probably don't like the policies are, but we don't advocate that you should steal the money. chris ems will it turns i those some are already benefiting from those frozen russian assets, belgium based financial services company, euro clear has made more than 800000000 euro off the back of the russian cash. it

holds alone. let's go through that story a little bit last february, the e restricted, the company, which works in the global final sector of having any ties with customers in russia . so amid rapidly rising interest rates in the southern to invest the russian money which had been locked off in its systems, euro clear is not facing lawsuits from clients who have been trying, failing as well to access their own problems. german economist, i can help me or believes the incident raises many questions about the use commitment to international law. it is not on shocking in concerning international law, but it's shocking for european citizens to why. because normally the european union itself has no right to seize anything, no, right to do anything like that. it is the national government of national states who have to do this and they didn't do it. they, yes,

making profit and stolen as something. this is beyond explanation. and who is next? now they claim this is, these are rational funds next, who is next? and the funny thing is they are already preparing that every german, for example, has to declare what s s t got. so are they next? it should teach everybody that these people are not committing to international law. so get your money back home. this is my, my thing is, is the same with the us, us the same stuff. so for every european, every german, it is essential to get your money home, not leave it at the people. and this is now breaking apart the entire concept of the so called globalization. it shows only the strongest is right. the other one has to accept whatever the stronger dictates and this is not the international law

. this is not the structure of the international law. we wanted the italian prime minister has lashed, died out, her french and german counterparts for orchestrating what she colton. inappropriate meeting with loving mirrors, lensky, ga, maloney, is regarded as not developing what some of called the close knit relationship with key about her predecessor. i sent another pinnacle tonight. it seems to me that the invitation to zelinski was a bit inappropriate. because i believe our strength is community and unity, and i understand that there is a desire to satisfy internal public opinion. but there are times when favoring eternal public opinion briskly the detriment of the cause. not at all. maloney is miffed there because the lensky has been walking around european halls of power this we dressed as usual, like he's ready for a pajama party at absolutely any time, and maloney sounds. i'm sad that she didn't get an invite and it's pretty clear why she's not happy about that. just look at what she's missed out on british prime

minister. we she soon act put on a helmet alongside zalinski and had the chance to pretend that he was james bond french president a mandarin macklin got to stare into zalinski his eyes as they were photographed, looking like a couple of kids having their 1st slow dance in the school jim polish president andre duda looked like he wanted everyone else to know, just who loves zalinski the most of all, but that's what the pharmacy has come to these days style over substance. so let's have a listen to mac hall explaining exactly why maloney was left out of this slumber party just with you. i wanted to receive present zalinski together with the german chancellor shoals. i think it was all rolled because as you know, that france and germany have a special role in this question for 8 years now. pushing this process. yeah, well the quote, special role of france and germany for the past 8 years was actually be guarantors of the men's quick words and sure that he respected them. but now we know that that

piece agreement was just a pretext to buy time to arm ukraine to the teeth for on conflict with russia. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give you a crane time ukraine. yes, this time to become stronger 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 full and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best on forces in eastern europe, according to nato standards. so that is hardly surprising. the ukraine was violating the agreement, left and right. like for example,

with use of drones to strike in east of the, of the country in the dumbass region. for example. now it didn't go unnoticed this week. the hungarian prime minister, victor, or bon, was pretty much the only european leader who didn't patronize lensky by clapping forehand like he was some kind of a child. he managed not to flood his lions in the school play. instead of an actual, had a state who's supposed to be appear, a really does seem like a big show to these european leaders and with their own citizens as their audience . if they really wanted to achieve something though, they just get off the stage already, ditch the script and prepared lines that suggests an interest in perpetuating his conflict. and instead, focus on the more important but difficult work of securing actual peace can illustrate to fit in this news our space. exxon slopped limits on the use of its star linked satellite internet service for controlling ukrainian drones. well,

it's after key of a said a violated on agreement for using the private companies facilities which are intended for humanitarian purposes. only we know the military is using them for coms and that's ok. but our intent was never to have them use it for offensive purposes. however, ukrainians have leveraged it in ways that were unintentional and not part of any agreement space x been providing internet to ukraine through its star link system ostensibly, so hospitals and high schools can remain online. but ukraine is said to have use the system for its drones to help spot enemy positions target long range positions and drop bombs. the spike, both the ukranian presidential advisor condemn space x is move demanding a rethink the year of ukrainian resistance. and companies have to decide either they are on the side of ukraine and the right to freedom and don't seek ways

to do harm. or they are on russia side and it's right to kill and seize territories space x star link. and mrs. shotwell should choose a specific option. for independent journalists, mike jones told the program he's never been convinced of starling. suppose that she monetary and motives, the whole value of stalling was to maintain military communications. we understood the high mas coordinates were being transmitted using the styling network to the forward lines in order to coordinate these attacks. so i don't believe there's been any real enforcement of this humanitarian only function for styling. i find it quite suspect that installing would specify as quin shotwell, the ceo did inherent announcement and drones, in particular, we've known for the entire conflicts that drones have been used for spotting artillery and maximizing cause these on russian service men. so why now my personal belief and opinion that this stems from reports from acting governance,

dennis crucial in dpi, following his claims of the use of chemical weapons. this was accompanied later by a video of ukrainian service men proudly showing off cyanide hydrogen chloride canisters that were being dropped by drones. about the way the news is shipping up for now, i'm signing off, but stay with us for more program is getting there. start in moments. this is archie, goodbye and see if i choose choose

awe. every spring and summer, the melting optic snow reveals abandoned machinery, millions of rusty barrels and the detritus left by human expansion into this most inaccessible of territories. yeah. then you have to move. so that you got a new law, it, it the bus, the biggest issue all in tears from clean arctic travel for heis island home to the biggest polar station on the french, joseph land archipelago. really asked me, but i lost my bosom or yet to the should. so in music and will you be a homeless, the nasa monroe. and i'm personally with a some stay on the or staff was so much you feel like you are a mary from a serial number. zamiah's membership. when you tear of capillary bomb cyril know, boys the premium, please join me at that of the arctic pioneers main objective was to explore and conquer these harsh lands. they had no time to think about.
