back in 2018 allegedly with you as support the struggling to trace frozen russian 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 catching 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 trips, shooting a captured russian soldier in the head. the u. n. has verified and condemned the kelly and warning. the following images are disturbing. the new footage now appears to show the aftermath of the 1st video. several dead russian soldiers captured by

ukrainians are lying on the ground. they have your head wounds that appears to show execution style killings at point blank range and occurring after the men had been captured. the russian foreign ministry house released a statement slumming, the west for his silence over he lives a legit war crimes. the latest execution of russian prisoners of war has 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 a shoot 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. well, it's not the 1st time ukrainian soldiers have been accused of killing russian peel w's. some months ago footage appeared on social media showing ukrainian troops killing all norm russians, who at surrendered. also last year of 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 take 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 done yet screwed public city of archibald sc on to run google adar r t correspondent,

english at done offs in don boss 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 pulled down . and now russia is trying to turn the tide. this is we russia, it's hillary providing cover for the advance. the crown forces. and

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 got the situation on the front line, a stable were advancing towards severs moving forward little by little from las a chance and it's becoming more quiet. mom, there is now much less return firing of the enemies artillery was forced to retreat through suppression fire from the sullied our direction. also, there are plenty of firing positions. it has become easier to work here if we can stay on firing positions longer and shoot more. what 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 so the savoy. what all were mobilized from heidi gothic, we have no local senate trenches. he was only my full day on the positioning. 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, or if we're already in position, it only takes 3 minutes. rushes offensive may not look impressive on the map. yet, as ukrainian and western officials unanimously raised the alarm. there's more where that came from. i'm a get done of reporting from the dumbass. ot see. 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 deli, 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 of passing a 1000000 barrels per day for the 1st time. while last month it hit $1700000.00 barrels. analysts say part of the reason for that massive increases because western states are not buying russian oil, but through india. so no sanctions there, but more for a rough washington has imposed new punishments on to run, targeting companies that are accused of facilitating the sale of a 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 of the university of iran food is on the questions the galaxy of these new us sanctions against era. in the last number of months and has been able to send motor oil and chemical products in comparison to last year. for example, us sanctions obviously causing difficult but it hasn't been able to go out. i'm factions, it is buying you realize that the sanctions are illegal, unilateral americans sanctions, the un or any other international organization has not sanction iranian only.

and then profits come generally from age. and this is the tradition that we have a lot of things that following united states is that the sanction you're not doing it, washington fears, and this is what they have admitted. that if they punish india, india would pervert 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 cru 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 aren't asking for anything in return. the united states should take their mercenaries. well, i'm investigation by the grades own media outlet claimed american government agencies such of u. s. 8, helped organize the insurgency by funding rights wing groups. hundreds of people were killed then in chaotic scenes as arms. gangs attempted to storm the presidential palace with a party wednesday, killed the head of state so shield over the coup attempt where later labelled political prisoners by the us state department. earlier i spoke to nicole argue a based independent journalist, ben norton, who believes washington has links to violent extremis, right across latin america. that in stage was the main sponsor of the violent, very right. we 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 this violent attempt in 2018. and we have documents showing that many of the leaders involved in this coo 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 d, 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 in the usa id spent tens of millions of dollars, funding opposition groups that oppose this on the needs the government and the elected president, daniel ortega, and of course, anyone who knows the, the more recent history of nicaragua, going back to the 1980 s knows that this is not new united states in the 1980 s

through the ca, armed in trained terrorists, the contrast they, they burned down the 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 minds in the porch to blow up nicaragua force. 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, seeing that as you've been explaining directly. how would you generally then assess current as it stands today, u. s. involvement in latin american affairs? 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 violently 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 us government to

try to destabilize the government. we saw something very similar in bolivia in 2019 with the overthrow of the president, even morales. we saw something attempted in cuba, which didn't succeed. and of course in venezuela b, 2 attempts have been completely non stop going back to 2014, 20172019 with one way though, so that the stabilization attempts never end, but the responses of the government has been different. right? so if a government, which is sovereign, tries to prevent these coo plotters funded by the u. s. from overthrow their government, then the u. s. deems 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 crew plotters well, they often get overthrown, as we saw in 2019, in bolivia or right now in peru. washington's announced plans to ease sanctions on syria,

mid mounting pressure over aid flow to the earth. quick stricken country being hampered by the restrictions. the u. s. treasury department issued a license authorizing any age related transactions for the next 180 days. however, it excludes serene officials to remain on the sanctions list. essentially the government, back in 2012, then american president, brock obama announced the u. s. would formerly recognize the syrian opposition coalition as ruling the country rather than the official. i said, lead government, which is in control of most of the countries territory. well, with the 1st financial aid only now. days and days later, reaching opposition held areas of syria at washington sought to blame that the lays on the government, russia and 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 inter kia syria including 1200 people in government held areas of the law for the musket said western sanctions, 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, sees the u. s. shifting blame onto the syrian government and russia,

combined with empty sanctions relief promises is hypocritical. this comes across is another empty gesture by the united states, probably a 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 syria 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 al qaeda 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 to al qaeda, the u. s. asset and syria. even the b, b. c,

an 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 hypocrisy. why were those or border crossings reduced because what they were being used for, and this has been reported since around 2013. they were being used to expiry terrorists arms, weapons and equipment for the armed groups into syria. ok, let's talk some big numbers. the e u, as a apparently failed 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 move is entirely legal. if you said all seek it, come up,

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. sugar pills. it is. yeah, assets and russian taxpayer money and russian businessman smelly, according to estimates based on a bank of russia reports almost $300000000000.00. all those so named russian assets are currently frozen in the u. but as he had only a few dozen 1000000000 hibachi being traced by member states arctic country 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 ceased $258000000.00 of russian assets. you know that the gold currencies and they were running that rate based off the, the numbers from, from the russian government. and, but coming back with a road, 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 or the thing era, which you wouldn't really expect from brussels, you know, that 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 zelinski during this. well, of inter 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, maria 88. i select from the gang round saying give us your planes, give us your planes. i don't think any of the european leaders and even the americans want to give these planes because it's completely worthless because that number one ukrainians comp fly them 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 you've just thought it just this constant constant issue that we're seeing over and over and over again of just

just petty law. is that the just trying to justify now, i'm really the only way i think to justify is to create another sort of storm of a story in order to, to make the world see that, you know, i think also it's for the taxpayers and all these countries to say to them, hey, you know what? it's okay, we're not going to make you shut out for the next lot. we're going to give them money that we're going to feel money from russia. basic. do 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. oh, my daughter is 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, a legal you may not like the policies of government. there are many governments around the world. but you and i probably don't like the policies of but we don't advocate that you should steal that money. chris ams, 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. little bit last february, the e restricted the company which works in the global final sector of having any time with customers in russia. so amid rapidly rising interest rates at the funded 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, k. helmer believes the incident raises many questions about the use commitment to international law. it is not only shocking into 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 on stolen as something that 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 be clear what s t got. so 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 is 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. and it shows only the strongest het 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 international law. we wanted the italian prime minister has lush, died out her french and german counterparts for orchestrating what she colton. inappropriate meeting but 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 out a few in o'clock tonight. it seems to me that the invitation to zalinski 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 will only sounds up 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 or she soon act put on a helmet alongside zelinski 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 diplomacy has come to these days. style over substance . so let's have a listen to mack home explaining exactly why maloney was left out of this slumber party. she's with you. i wanted to receive present zalinski together with jerome. the chancellor shows, 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. he cried, 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 4 and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best armed 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 the 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 who 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 ditched the script and prepared lines of suggest 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 x of slop limits on the use of its

star linked satellite internet service for controlling ukrainian drones. but it's after key of a set of 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 has 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 dropped bombs. despite the ukrainian presidential adviser condemn space, x has moved 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 journalist mike jones told the program he's never been convinced of starling. suppose that she monetary and motors, the whole value of starling, 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 stalling would specify as when shotwell the ceo did in her 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 government, dennis pushing up the piano and 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. that's the way the news is shipping out for now. i'm signing off, but stay with us for more program is getting there. start in moments. this is our t goodbye and see ah, as a sign, the west ukraine prophecy war on russia is not going as planned. a new narrative is making the rounds. it's called the korea solution, the end of active hostilities and an armistice. keep in mind the side considering an arm is,

is seeks to avoid complete defeat. we all know which side that is ah ah ah ah
