9:02 am
a year after the start of russia's special military operation. offers photo up, the us president sat down and reaffirm washington's unwavering support to ukraine, pledging to send even more money and weapons. and the new package worth $500000000.00 is set to include high mars. i'm munition anti tank systems and radar . the move by the us president comes as ukraine marked 9 years since the deadliest day of my down protest in the ukrainian capital dozens were killed. 150 were willing to essentially that was a precursor to where we are today. and i strongly encourage you to have a look at this report from marina cos up. it is enlightening, the facts is stuffing. this is how it was portrayed in mainstream media. unarmed protest is done down in the street by the right police, who were retreating from kiff, smythe,
9:03 am
and square. i turned to his lines. security forces a short distance away. standing beyond the range of rocks and bottles, testers have home me shields and numbers. the police have water cannon and some grenades, but this is what it looked like in reality. ah. after 3 months of confrontational caves, main square, the situation reached the boiling point, and the 20th of february, 2014 became the bloodiest they of them. i don lee been 49 dead and a 157 people wounded. this was the turning point. the protest could have died down, but they didn't. they got more violence. and the claim was that the violence was coming from the governments. a great way to force the cranes president to succumb
9:04 am
to protesters the mans, 9 years on and there are still no proof that government forces were shooting at protesters only evidence to the contrary. the snipers firing were from buildings controlled by pro european protesters. and based on forensic evidence, many of those who were killed and wounded were shot in the back or from significant vertical angles. whereas the police were right in front of them, or on the same level, at least with the top to bottom direction of his wounds. his position of the video and findings from forensic medical examination about the location of entry, wounds in his right side and back, indicate gunshots from that hotel and not from the bare crude ukrainian special forces in front of him. several other eye witnesses including other my don protesters, a medic, and a german journalist also said he was killed by a sniper from the hotel ukraine. in particular from the 7th floor. there is more,
9:05 am
the bullets came from hunting rifles. well guess what? government forces didn't use haunting rifles, but do you know who did? that's right. the protesters, something that was even documented on mainstream media conservancy built several 100 meters away, was firmly in the hands of the protest erection. just after 8 o'clock that morning, a news photographer managed to get into the building with his camera. when i come inside, i will. so the guy, one come after me with hunter gun hunting rush. i'm not exactly a clear picture, is it incredible? considering it's been 9 years, but what's more, incredible is the evidence that has magically disappeared. we must realize that the way the investigation was conducted unfortunately, did not give society answers to key questions. we have huge questions about the quality of the investigation. some materials simply disappeared,
9:06 am
while in other points the investigation was sabotaged. this is the man who was adamant that the government controlled the library and not my don leaders like himself. so where is the proof? know where to be found. apparently the shields and helmets of those 2 were killed and entered. where are they gone? extract the bullets disappeared. recordings of live streams cctv from hotel krajina arrays. isn't that weird, even e u of special started wondering what was going on as we later found out from this leap phone call. it's really disturbing that know that, you know, coalition that they don't want to investigate what exactly happened so that there is a stronger and stronger understanding that behind snipers they were, it was not going to go. but it was somebody from the new coalition. it's already discredit dates from very beginning, goes to this new college. yeah. it's really disturbing. bob, let's continue supporting them. anyway. after all,
9:07 am
the west had been egging them on for so long. victoria newland flew in 3 times and was literally feeding pro european protesters. us senator john mccain joined the party, encourage and protesters to keep going, agreeing with them that their future is in europe, no matter what their democratically elected president wants or has decided to do. the people know that the united states stands with you in your search, or just for human ridiculous. you got a curity or he can make house and for the european future that you have chosen and the people use your moment. this is about you don't want
9:08 am
no one else really. then why was the, was la, truly in ukraine's business discussing and planning who should run once we've all heard the leaks conversations where the west insisted on that, then you get a new so become ukraine's new leader. and sure enough, there guy was installed and traveled to washington right away. so the crowds and the key of, and the folks in washington got what they wanted. a pro western governments would know twice to russia, a scary prospect for those ukrainians who aligned with russia linguistically, historically, and culturally so they took to the streets, often meets in a brutal consequence. like the massacre in odessa were almost 50 of them were trapped in the building. that was such a blaze. burn and i'm alive. this of course cemented clearly, the hatred between the 2 sides realized that keith had decided to fate without
9:09 am
african office. they said that they wanted to be with europe and didn't need the ration customs union in russia to the things that were going on and key disturbed that hugely the will know what happened after that crimea detached and joined russia. the civil war and don't boss started and need so began arming the key of regime with civilians terrorized for years. now let's take a moment to remember john mccain's words in key. if once again you are sure you want for your country. this is just the future uses this or what is this what he had in mind? surely the wife didn't expect rossa to allow a puppet regime to terrorize its civilians and arm up along its borders with hopes and dreams of being part of nato. every action has a reaction, and that was actions points to the fact that my done was a gateway. so

9:14 am
the ukrainian command used this factory warehouse to shelter a tank ammunition crates are scattered all over the place around lean. wagner fighters are telling me that the everything indicates that the ukrainians they were planning to hold these positions for a long, long time. but well, this particular sector, it fell in less than a week. which of these are in print, some tank track stuck there. they made a trench probably for tank ammunition. they planned to hold this position for a very long time on your own, and did a lot of preparation for that. they managed to keep it for only 5 days. just uncle chance was what happened to the tank? oh, don't over there to morrow, kilometer and a half from here. it stir. it was blown off. here. russia has tightened the noose further on ukraine's garrison in back. moot. because all this is a prelude to the resounding crescendo of the fool of the city to the chew. wagner hamburgers done of reporting from the dumbass,
9:15 am
r t a 10 day joint naval exercise with russia, china and south africa is in full swing. it's so aimed at improving co operation on security. however, certain western partners are worried because south africa, along with many of its neighboring countries, that basically defiant in the face of western pressure to cut that ties with russia, party correspondent, and the connection co reporting now from the c joint military exercises continue in the indian ocean in which the navy's of russia, china and south africa taking part its main purpose is to exchange experience and skills that when the 3 countries military's, as well as prepare for any security challenges in the maritime region, as normal approach as the main focus of the exercises is countering threats at c, including countering piracy and providing assistance in rescuing people in ships at sea in case of distress. all actions will be carried out jointly, and each side brings its own forces. but under a single leadership and command,
9:16 am
the most important russian ship participating in the maneuvers is the admiral gorge coffee gate, which is equipped with the latest tier con hypersonic miss. else. this sheer pants had service in 2018. previously, it was equipped with the caliber cruise missiles than it was upgraded to be able to carry the circuit missiles, the speed of which exceeds the speed of sound by 9 times reaching 10000 kilometers per hour. these missiles move throughout their flight path to what's the targets, making them impossible to intercept that it was severe. the missiles themselves have no analogs in the world and make it possible to overcome any air defense systems that are potential adversaries. having their range of application allows the ship to be at a safe distance from the enemy. western countries did not miss the opportunity to express accusations and criticism against the participants in the maneuvers, especially the host country. the ministry of defense of south africa in response to this confounds it's right to build for relations in accordance with its national
9:17 am
interests as an independent and sovereign country, annexed shanker arty tab in south africa. so despite an aim of peace and cooperation, this year's munich security conference is not listening to the voices of the world . that's the message from the iranian foreign ministry. after event organizers revoked terran and moscow's participation, the ministries are spokesman slammed the policy pushed by the west conference. the cuban moment. this is just the unilateral path that some countries desire to follow in their international foreign policy. basically, such approaches are not helpful for peace and international security, especially since such countries are puppets of others that intervene to block states from joining the security conference. such approaches won't help peace and international security balance stances and expressing different stances that indicate the voice of all the world on an international stage can be helpful in any
9:18 am
attitude except that is unprofessional. i attended to weekly presto, ron's foreign ministry by the one for foreign ministry spokesperson, mister nasir can on. and i asked him about the west measure to exclude takes, like iran and russia from participating and the munich security conference. and he said that it was a big mistake on the part of the west to avoid inviting iran in russia because it is held under the banner of promoting security and peace in the world. but what he did was to serve war monitoring and hostility globally. so he said, well, the other mistake that was made on the part of the west was to instead of inviting people from the islamic republic and invited some of the opposition figures, who inside the protest that we sent protests in iran, which i rotted over the death of a young iranian woman in the capitol, ron,
9:19 am
he said that they gave a voice to those people who are not, we're not representing the majority of the iranian people this or did not sit well with the iranian officials. and the iranian officials, including dawson kennedy spokesperson for the iranian foreign ministry, said that the music security conference is supposed to bring all of the voices and in the world, not just want specific voice that is supposed to give voice to different roaches and different mentalities. and he said once again that iran is not after these long republics, not after insecurity. iran has been participating in the munich security conference since 2009 except for 2011.12 and made the toughest sanctions imposed by the us and europe against iran. and again, in 2021 in the corner virus 10 indicate one is not participated that music conference blocks. what happened this year. and this addition of the music security
9:20 am
conference was to exclude iran from participating. and this was a shame he said, on the partial of the west, and he hoped that such measures and such behaviors will not be repeated again by the west. u. s. a secretary of state, anthony blanket has claim china is considering selling weapons to russia. and it's threatening consequences is paging prosy. the are concerned that china is considering supporting russia's war effort in ukraine with lethal assistance. something that we're watching very, very close. as i also said. and as president biden said, going back many months when the aggression 1st place, and he spoke to president, she's and thing, he told him at that point that there would be real consequences in our own relationship or china to provide legal assistance. lincoln's accusation followed his recent meeting with a, china's foreign policy chief y v. who was now guess where,
9:21 am
visiting moscow or china strongly rejected the us claim. a reminder, the world of washington's role in the continent. john denton, your input on sequel would ship. it is the u. s. we kept providing weapons to the battlefield, not china. the u. s. is in no position to tell us what to do. and we would never accept its finger pointing and even coordination and pressures on china, russia relations. the principal, the china follows on the ukraine issue, can be simply put us promoting b stocks. so who's calling for dialogue and striving for peace, and who is fanning flames and stoking confrontations? the international community ceased clearly because now since the beginning of the conflict in ukraine, washington has provided more than 29 $1000000000.00 in weapons to kiev. that includes our well thousands of sting us surface to air missiles of many thousands of javelin anti tank missiles, nearly 2000000 rounds of ammunition and dozens of other weapons systems,
9:22 am
ranging from tanks to helicopters as well. so let's learn more across live now to nelson wong, the vice chairman of the shanghai sent us a room pack and international studies. joining us here, analogy international. a very well welcome to you. so thank you very much for coming on the program here. nelson. you heard me saying just that a president biden as now promised another 500000000 in military aid to ukraine on top of the billions. it's already committed. and now washington is essentially condemning china for considering weapons sales to russia. i mean, is this an example of the west? suppose it rules based order? well, it is more than a bad to actually watch, watch the visits of president in key f. and i've also read the blinking interview at face the nation in music. and i believe the u. s. accusations of china, like we suspect we believe we have information that china is blah blah,
9:23 am
blah. well, honestly speaking, this is like creating something out of nothing. and in the meantime, trying to slander others will know very well that it is actually the u. s. that has been sending alms on the web but, and also monday to you cray. so accusing china is like really correcting something out of nothing. well, i mean, no, i just, i do apologize for jumping in nelson, but i wanted to ask you, because i've just got, i've just got a printout now of the latest list of weapons being sent to ukraine. it kind of looks like the new year wishlist for al qaeda. it's, it's this long. it's this long. this list there are over a 100 different categories, thousands of missiles, thousands of they've got hundreds of boats helicopters, you know, what,
9:24 am
i've never seen a military weapons list like this in my life. there was a huge amount of weaponry that is about to be transported to ukraine. that to me seems like the u. s. is going to prolong and essentially escalate the conflict nelson you're absolutely right. i think a by sending so many weapons and also financial aids to you, crying is going to achieve nothing except escalating, but taishan and this is really wrong of what the us is doing. and i think the only way out is to find a political solution. so peaceful hopes, this is, this is something that i'm going to talking about doing that. yeah, sorry, by doing that, i think the interest and security concerns of all parties must be addressed and taken into account. so i hope that the,
9:25 am
the statement that china is going to release very soon in the next few days would be something that we can all hopeful is to call for a peaceful solution. what do you know about that? what do you remember about that? what do you know about this statement that's going to be coming out? well, it's going to be on the $26.00. it's the, it's going to be, it's gonna be a big speech on piece. as i understand i, i would believe so as well because i hurt counselor one, he said immune that in no time china is going to release this statement while it goes a bit deeper now because of the ukrainian president, zalinski has ward now the quote there will be a world war if china and russia form and then lions that he knows something, nelson i don't think so. i think both
9:26 am
zalinski and also what the us president has been saying is to try and put some pressure on china once again. whereas i believe the world or see what china is all about, it is not a country that's so easy to be manipulated by the west. china is a country that really adopts an independent approach to world affairs. so and the chinese government has already declared very clearly and again and again that it's relation, it's good relation was russia is not based on something against other 3rd paul case. it's just a bilateral relations. it's just between china and russia because we're good
9:27 am
neighbors. and neighbors will always be neighbors. you can't remove china from russia as a neighbor, and the same will play with russia. so same thing. so it is important that we try to set a good example as how we should do with our neighbors nelson. let me jump in quickly. if i may, i do apologize for jumping on you here, but there have been a number of russian officials said, thank you that that have said that the west, the collective west is engaged in a hybrid war against russia. but then look at it the other side of it, as well as a military conflict in ukraine where certain top russian officials have said this is essentially a conflict against the hedge him on of the west, in nato and america, or on the unfortunate stage and ground of ukraine, but then look at this, you've got the military conflict against the best of the west and ukraine,
9:28 am
but you've also got this economic conflict nelson, the bricks, the s c o and all these new strategic and economic families being born around the world, moving towards di dollarization. so you've got the military thing in ukraine. you've got an economic new dance going on with these new families around the world . do you think the west and i mean europe and america will realize at any point that the world is changing. and if they're not careful, they're going to be left in the dust. well, it only shows that they are not willing to accept the changing world. because change is the only thing that never gets changed. and if you want to playing to all the power or had you money that you have, this is not can work. you're not being realistic. so let's face. the
9:29 am
reality is that the world is changing, and the global south is coming together. and today and tomorrow is not going to be decided by only one country or a group of sheep is left by one edge of all. this is the days, it's our goal. so let's, let's face the reality. plotting it's very well suddenly by nelson wong, the vice chairman of the shanghai sent a rim pack and international studies. great to have you on the program. thank you very much for your time. thank you. and i thank you for joining us here for this program. live from moscow with many more of your headline still to com. we were talking about the topic. ah ah
