and see what we tend to attend. the said committee to return back home. there is no support from the nomination. i commission african united michigan don't care about checklist and people with the headline dorothy international as of 101 that capture the russian soldiers were turned from ukraine. the latest exchange of prisoners by moscow and archie speak with russia's ambassador to india, which he says the 2 countries. ty, is a growing to new level. despite western sanction, with sanctions. war against russia has, in fact has had taken off with accelerated in russia, india trade. also the program american political, complicated jimmy door. he says the ukraine conflict was provoked by western powers

of itself, which has long been shelling civilians in going back they don't know the history of what's happened. they don't know need always an offensive course natal, provoke this invasion gradients, their own citizens. you bring government was killy and bombing them. people don't know this. they don't know the history with friday here at moscow and a lot of moving and shaking in the world of news and politics today. welcome to your stories. it's starting into. so moscow says, 101 russian military prisoners have returned from ukrainian captivity in the latest swap with key f. a ukraine also received the exact same number of its own captured soldiers and the released russian troops have now been taken to moscow, where they will receive a medical and psychological evaluation. now this is the 2nd such prisoners swap this month. the previous one was mediated by the united arab emirates. let's get

details on that with ortiz sophie had in your prison exchange round between russia and ukraine was conducted on thursday, bringing 101 brush and servicemen home russian air force plane with the former p o w on board lend at the near port here moscow from where they will be transported to a military hospital in the capital for medical and psychological rehabilitation, the russian defense minister stated that this man were at risk of death while held captive in ukraine. after spending, arguably the darkest hours over the life, this p. o w in prisoner camps, they finally walk free. the feeling must be unbelievable. shirts of europe sierra my heart is beating. i'm glad that i'm finally at home on my land. at 1st i did not believe it, but then i had some kind of incomprehensible feeling as if i had fallen in love for the 1st time. so screw wallace, when we were being held captive, they didn't explain anything to us. so i didn't really believe it or do you never know where you'll be sent? but when i found out i was delighted. my whole family is happy. every one is

waiting for me at home at all possible. i promised to return, but we're going back home was much, there was a, she knew she, i have great feelings. so we returned to our homeland. although we have been waiting for this moment for a long time. it finally happened when we kept up our hopes and believed that this day would come and it has come to day. you may, i have incredible emotions. i cannot believe this. now i want to go home, go fishing with my dad, see my family and celebrate all the holidays with them. meanwhile, one of the highest, racking us diplomats in washington and the secretary of state, victoria newland. a. she has said that he has forces are justified if indeed they attack russian state infrastructure in crimea. ukraine is not going to be say in less, crimea is at a minimum, at a minimum, demilitarized, there are mass military installations in on crimea,

that russia has turned into essential logistics and back office depots for this. for those are legitimate targets. ukraine is hitting them and we are supporting that well, the union assigned crime the ukraine back of the 1950 for the largely ethnic russian territory. did a vote to join russia and 2014 was following a coo and kia victoria newland very openly support him. she was, in fact, handing out freedom cookies on my down squared during the qu, though the western assistance for ukraine has spot condemnation from a member of the european parliament. meantime, alongside criticism for ukraine's leader, the president lensky, and his pleas from all weapons. instead of please for peace. so then he has been making the rounds, begging for more weapons, but now one more to say about peace. how many of his own people must the conscript and feed into the carriage before it sits down to negotiations. and many of the

people of europe was lose their jobs and order homes before natal would allow. no, no, no, she ations to happen. and lastly, what i'd like to know what has happened to germany, the jewel of europe. charles told us that to be no peace in russia, but no apiece in europe without russia. forced to send had him as now your son tanks to kill russians. well, meantime, having numerous reports, i, numerous online videos of ukrainians being volley detained, either on the streets or in their homes to be then sent off to the front line. that's as key of sports as a believe to have suffered enormous losses and recent fighting. we heard from international atanya, kline preston, who says the ukraine complete his big business for many western officials. and that's at least one reason for extending the conflicts. you know, i've heard tale of conscription now of 15 and 16 year old boys people were

drafted in the service to go to the market, to buy food and you know, people reinforce in the service and it's reminiscent, frankly, of the last days germany in 1945, when that, that country was failing and losing the war. the western countries had ignored common sense and prudent thought in the support they've given to ukraine to this date. and i don't see this change in now because of, you know, the, the current construct, conscription laws and practices in the ukraine. you know, it's business. so in a way, it's just a way to, to propagate this more because a lot of people in the west are making a lot of money. i mean, look at congress looked at the number of people in our congress that own shares and right the on and united technologies and northrop grumman. they're all making money . and so sadly, there is

a small percentage of the people in the united states and great britain and other western countries that are, are making big money on this conflict. in the latest edition of going underground option returns he discussed with american political common headed jimmy door. a number of subjects including the roots of the ukraine conflict. adore says the conflict was actually provoked by nato as well as by key f, which has long been shelling civilian areas and on bass. in fact, since at least 2014, you can watch the folding to view this saturday here. when i see you for the meantime, is a preview, but they're doing so they're unwittingly using the american the, the people of ukraine has cannon fodder and a proxy and economic proxy war. what we did was provoke this invasion, and the german chancellor just admitted that we provoked this invasion in 2014 the united states over through the democratically elected government of ukraine. why did they do that? the people who say that i'm aiding russia somehow,

i've been propagandized, they don't know the history of what's happened. they don't know. nieto is an offensive course natal, provoke this invasion ukrainians, their own citizens, ukraine government was killing and bombing them. people don't know this. they don't know the history because when the corporate meeting in the united states still tells the story of ukraine, they started from pollutants invasion. they don't know why to invaded, they don't know that you gradient government was bombing those people for 8 straight years and slaughtering them. they don't know that there have been with nazis literal nazis and people have no idea that that's what happened. so you can call me anything you want. there's only one way to end this war. it, everyone knows that the you bring war is going to end with the negotiation. so we have to get people at the negotiating table right now. nato doesn't want joe biden, doesn't want to negotiate, and he wants to keep this going on. he wants to keep people being killed and you brain, so we can bleed russia economically and that plan isn't working. what we're doing is russia is now becoming closer and closer with china,

and they're going to become the new center of economics in the world. i don't understand why the people will wake up to this because, but the reason why they will wake up to this is because they don't get to see shows like this or hear voices like me. they only heard voices from the parole or military industrial complex bought media. ah, well, western powers may of and d turned a blind eye to ukraine's. shelling of the broker provinces have gone back for the past 8 or 9 years, but have nevertheless supported the independence of another region, perhaps close to their interests. this friday marks 15 years since the breakaway, serbian present province of kosovo, unilaterally declared independence with staunch support. by western powers, despite what was vast opposition by un member states including russia and the cause of our separatist movement, gained prominence during the yugoslav was in the 1990s. at the west claim that

yugoslav leader milosevic was engaged in ethnic cleansing and that bombing would prevent 8 refugee crisis. so ne, who decided to intervene and bombed serbia for 78 days belgrade still insists cause of i was a part of serbia and has denounced the breakaway provinces, unilateral declaration as a violation of international nearly a 100 un countries including security council members, russia and china refused to recognize the self proclaimed state. here's how people who live through those events have described their feelings when they learned that their homeland was being divided into 2 o 4 minutes. that was the said, his day of my life. losing a part of my country. even to this day, regardless of them colon and then abandoned kassawa. i see it is an integral part of the republic of serbia. i think it so one big propaganda campaign from the west knowing that this land is very rich in minerals and or,

i think it's all about just grabbing what they need. peace is not present to this day, nor do i think we will have it until corso is recognized as serbian territory. life has changed for the worse. i don't feel safe at all. and every corner we have coursework, police spraying fear and sir panting. but when the independence was announced, who felt unsafe, wearing fall was safe and to say to fall the children. i believe that with their goal to separate course when mental have from sober and to have it for themselves. it hasn't brought peace for serbs for sure. i don't know how, which will go on further, but i don't think it will be any better, at least for subs and for the children. we don't want them to grow up into circumstances. we don't feel safe. last year saw spike and tensions between belgrade and cause about the crisis which erupted last summer, continues to this day with thousands of ethnic serbs expressing outrage over recent pleasures in cause of a well, let's learn

a bit more here and like not to political analysts. alexander to poverty is joining us live on this friday program. great to see you today. so if, if, if i can ask you just straight off about, can you, can you try and put it into a nutshell in layman's terms, not now 15 years since cause of declared independence from serbia. what was the reason for the break up and, and frankly, why wants the west so adam and to support the move in what was in the face of very large international opposition of the west said in 199919989099 that day one of them being because on so close humanitarian grounds out of the usual excuse. ah, so they are, they attacked of federal republic of yugoslavia, which was serbia, montenegro at the time and bomb does for $78.00 days. not only that, there was also an attempted ground invasion from albania, which was repulsed by yugoslav,

army damien serbian border. that's something that's very little known. so nato not only bomb bomb empathy attempted they attempted invasion. now as to the real reasons. well, just less than a year after the natal gression, there was a security conference and brought the law coordinated by the state department. luckily we had a conscientious german diplomat, will be a winner for reporting from there to the german chancellor, the banker, her trader. and he told them what the american officials at this close conference in practice, blah blah at the end of april 2007. they said the reason to why you dis, bobby was bomb and why cost of all was occupied by nato. was to rectify the mistake that dwight eisenhower made it. can the world war 2 when he didn't station

american troops there? so that's the real reason. and the further goal of us was and is to expand to the limits of the roman empire at the time of its greatest expansion. those are the words quoted, a close conference, not just a german, and yet you won't, you won't, you won't hear that. you wouldn't hear that's kind of information in the western press. so this is so good to have you on the show right here on you. i'm so grateful for, for your clear comments. once again, the us state department had his fingers involved in this nato. is it called herself a defensive organization, but there it was. bombing serbia, a 78 days. alexander, let me ask you this, let me ask you this. but if i may, the cause of the situation has many similarities to what we see in a don bass scenario. if the west was so in favor of cause of our right to self determination, why has it opposed the will of the people in don bass and for that matter,

crimea with a referendum 8 years ago, because you see that's why they make the difference between international law as contained in the un charter and what they call the rules based order. well, the rules based order as we make up the rules as we go along according to our interests. so according to the rules made up by the last 2, they go along the cost of all, well they can declare dependence and will recognize the dom us catch because they are not on our side prime, you can solve the c p a can a pay do a can, nobody else can. and as we go back to our we go back to franklin delano roosevelt when they asked him why america. busy supported this brutal dictatorship in nicaragua, under some of the dictator and the corolla, franklin said,

well, he may be a son, but he's our son of a bitch. he did say that, alexander, but i do want to, i don't want you to repeat yourself, but i, i want to bring in this to, i mean is that when you talk about all these different examples here, it's a litmus test. do you think the west uses to decide what is a democratically born independence movement and cause of old versus that of what's being called an illegal annexation of don bass and crimea? is there some kind of litmus test do you think? well delivered, says glove for them is if you get a certificate from washington, if they say you were gonna chrysler gonna cra, if they say not great, you're not a democrat. that's all there is to it. there's no other standards or, you know, let's look at costillo. a. costello was emp, quickly glanced after job nato bombing. we have over

250000 serves, who've been displaced. they've been out forced out of kosovo. nato does not care one way above them coming back and they call that democracy. so the ethnic cleansing happen after the nato intervention. and yet they're putting our democratic label on the so called state that they recognized. so you see there are no standards at all except that you have to be on washington. sy, then everything is allowed. if you're not in washington side, nothing is allowed here. i am alexander, i was just going to just jumping quickly. i did read a home and below an article the other day and it wasn't my comment. somebody commented when it comes to america, america doesn't have allies. it just has countries. it bullies less. and at the end of the day, alexander this conversation that you me are having it does to mind a lot more time than what we have for us today. alex out a part of it. it's always so good to see you political analyst joining us life aeronautics international have a great day. thanks for your time. thank you very much. ah,

all ortiz heard from the russian ambassador to india in an exclusive interview in which he says. western sanctions have actually boosted bilateral ties. well, he has a preview, though, the full interview will air all day or not. the sanctions war against russia has infect, has had insights. not was it the fact and accelerated the, the russia, india trade. as you know, last year it grew almost 3 and a half times and reached, reached about 35000000000 u. s. c, u. as d, a record record level of the lion's share belongs to oil and coal, and fertilizers, and the metal supplies from russia. indian exports are still far behind. that is

true. we're working in 10 in 10 sleep to balance it. it's important that there is a wide spread interest from private sector. the regional business, a small and medium scale business is getting more active. the tourists flow through india shows promising dynamics, and there's increasing so the scope of opportunities for india to expand its presence in the russian market. it has increased dramatically in almost all segments of industry. and it would be wise for the indian business to make use of them are just only 20 minutes past the hour here in moscow, while the democratic republic of congo was getting set for

a presidential election later this year. and while voter registration does mark the beginning of the process, those in the province of north keith who are opposing the process as the militant group, m. 23 does now control several towns in that area. it's governor, however, has reassured that all security arrangements have been made for well delay the d a c columns and the independent national electoral commission's panel effort so that everyone, including the displaced, can enjoy their most legitimate civic rights and take part in the electoral process . this is why some devices are taken upstream, particularly with regard to the displaced persons from the territory of my c. c. why ron goma, the displaced persons from the territories offered true in con, error genia. and those from benny all will be in role taken into account their backgrounds will a voter registration will start in the city of goma, city of more than a 1000000 residents near the border with rwanda, i'm more than

a 100000 people also live on the outskirts after having been displaced due to the conflict with them, 23 of those in the city said they were delighted by the start of the registration process to elect the future leader. now, short of, i'm happy to have received my new cards. it will help me grab i go with the process takes a long time. you have to go through an agent of the nation electoral commission who has to register you even after you register with the machines. people don't seem to understand the process with the number of people expected in gama. i do not believe the operation will succeed with these de lace. russia is launching an appeal at the un for an urgent international investigation into the sabotage or the north stream pipelines. that's after a recent article by pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh said that america bomb the pipeline on orders from the biden administration. and now, strangely enough,

the u. s. says it's not going to investigate those newly surfaced revelations. these blast did not occur on us soil. i would leave it to our partners on whose territory, on whose soil as it were on these glasses or to speak to an appropriate investigator mechanisms. and now the party line, as you've heard there is that the nord to stream explosion is a european matter and has nothing to do with america. by the way, the same state department spokesman, their dead price was already tweeting way back in march of 2021. so 2 years ago that quote, the nord stream to pipeline is a russian geopolitical project intended to divide europe and weaken european energy security. it's a bad deal for all involved. so net price sure had a lot to say about nord stream back then, but now that it's been blown up and it's no longer a concern to washington apparently. and by the way,

since when did washington adopt the position that events happening outside of the us that don't directly involve it, park now? none of its business. that's a new one. and americans aren't the only ones asking some questions. german politicians are wondering why they're so much silence around the issue from berlin to on the them use you missouri bus to clarify attacks on the north stream pipeline that you do not consider important. we just heard that for almost half a year, we have been asking the same question over and over again here in parliament during government interrogations, who attacked the gas pipelines in the baltic seat? this is the most serious terrorist attack against critical infrastructure since world war 2. your deafening silence exposes you by now remember that german chancellor, all of schultz was standing in a podium right beside us, president joe biden on february 7th, 2022. when biden said that if russia goes into ukraine,

washington will put an end to nord stream. biden was talking about germany's main source of energy, and sholtes just stood there saying nothing. iron of use daydreaming, or just admiring the decor. but that's kind of an interesting question. why didn't you say something about that? and hers is reporting alleges that shows was on the same wavelength as washington and biden, despite being initially, quote wobbly about germany's economic life blood and europe's economic engine. so before even the conflict in ukraine popped off, that was an issue. and jeffrey sachs, a prominent american economist now a professor at colombian iep columbia university sacks, is again speaking out, calling hirsch's account of the nordstrom explosions. pretty much a no brainer. frankly, it's been obvious from the stark, this was not an easy operation to carry out of the kind of operation that the,

the cia and other a covert parts of the u. s. government do carry out rather routinely by the way, yet they blow up lots of infrastructure over time. i try to keep it hidden, but it was hard to keep this one hidden because the united states was basically the only country with the motive. that means and rather remarkably having announced beforehand that the intention was to end nord stream. yeah. and also go figure that the 2 nations accused of the nord stream, sabotaged in hurst, his report, the u. s. and norway also just happened to be the 2 countries that have now replaced russian gas sales to europe. and our caching. in big time, her said that norway helped washington to find the right place for these c 4 explosives along its coast and also ran interference with neighboring sweden and denmark. so they wouldn't get suspicious if they happen to spot some divers where

they shouldn't have been. there supposed to be a so called independent commission involving journey sweden and denmark into this whole affair. but they all seem to just wanna move on, like there's nothing to see here. and it's really can speak us silence. and, you know, should those who have kind of developed an murtaugh around all this who don't really want to talk about it really be the ones to be doing an investigation. normally when a country or a person or whatever is implicated in something, whether it's purchased in hirsch's report or otherwise, normally they're the ones overseeing the investigation. we were talking audio to political analyst as early as moose, and now he says the attacks on the north stream pipelines a severely hom, european energy security industry, and the overall standard of living. and it could not have been carried out without

washington being involved us as the benefit of such a beneficiary, the situation. let's face that, the germans, definitely not. it's going to impact that german economically and te and the rest of europe to some degree, to the germ germans. the most may even lead to their and be industrialization. they would, their energy prices will go up to the point that they'll not be they will not be competitive on the open market. the and l. c. i can see factory closing. i could see them relocating outside the countries where energy prices are cheaper and more efficient. but in this case we've got a terrorist attack against not just germany, but yet to think about this. this is the, this is against europe in general. this is the major infrastructure, providing you know what upwards to 20 to 40 percent of the natural gas to,

to europe. it's this is a terrorist that the state sponsored terrorist attack. and unfortunately, it definitely appears that the u. s. has got very heavy hand in it somewhere. so in the meantime i u. s. president joe biden has insisted that the last 3 and identified objects shot down over north american aerospace were probably civilian balloon, so not related to so called chinese espionage. nothing right now suggest they were related to chinese fire balloon program or that they were surveillance vehicles from other any other countries. you tell us communities current assessment? is that these 3 objects for most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying whether or conducting other scientific research or after the initial incident happened early this month. so the suppose the chinese spy balloon story made headlines in the us media. i mean,

the media went wall to wall with his coverage, citing growing threats from china. but now more questions have arisen and went off by reporters about his alleged business ties with china biden. all of a sudden run out of time, a president and his son and his family make so much money from their a chinese business operations. you know, the sad thing in the united states right now is, is they have created the boogeyman of russia in the book, the man of china, and are creating enemies when we should be finding bridges of prosperity and friendship. i think the way the mainstream media in the u. s. covered the balloon story. it was really a hodgepodge mess of what the biden's stories were in the mainstream media. got a little bit confused in the process. at the end of the day,

i think it's proved to be a distraction from other more serious issues. like the open border, the fentenol drug crisis that is being created crime in our cities, the economic downturn, inflation still hurting americans in their wallets and the continued funding of hundreds of billions of dollars for ukraine when americans are hurting here at home . so i think the by the administration wants distractions like a balloon story, even if it's harmful to their credibility, because it distracts from the real issues they're failing to handle. yeah, it does seem to be a growing consensus now in the wake of all these are so called spy balloon stories at the end of the day, it might have all been one big distraction, but a distraction from walk read on t dot com. thank you. let them know ah which presentation of the ukraine conflict is always been muddled and confusing.
