don usage, you need a ah, russian troops with a wagner group leading the assault have taken over a key village north of the u radian health gilbert. further in, circling the city, china has hold on the west to stop using unilateral sanctions and do their share in the escalating the ukraine crisis saying dialogue and negotiation are the only viable solution to the conflict. india takes the floor at the un general assembly saying the interests of both russia and ukraine must be respected to achieve peace that does reject the possibility of speaking with moscow. in an exclusive interview to going under ground renowned investigative journalist seymour hersh,

breaks out the u. s, sabotage of the north street pipelines which he recently exposed in a bomb chill report that's been denied by washington. that's the rationale for the mission to make sure that europe in western europe keeps on. funneling supporting nato and people following on through inter what is clearly a proxy war against russia. ah, good morning for martine or national studios in moscow, and welcome to the hour's top stories worldwide. i'm fiorella isabel. we start with news just then from along the don bass front lines. russian troops with the wagner group leading the assault have taken control of the village. a better holds come north of the ukrainian house city are still most. the development further deteriorates the situation for ukrainian forces inside the city as it makes re supply more difficult. this comes as the ukrainian president set on friday. the

situation in the east for the ukrainian army is very difficult and china has called on the world to prevent the ukrainian conflict from escalating, asking world leaders to resume a peace dialogue after it's foreign ministry publishes a 12 point piece plan as a solution to the ukranian conflict. the proposal condemns the unilateral sanctions that the wes puts on other countries. china poses feel actual sanctions, unauthorized by the un security council. relevant contrition, stop abusing unilateral sanctions and long arm years diction against all the countries. so as to do their share in the escalade in the ukraine crisis, and cray conditions for developing countries to grow their economists and better to life. so there are people at china believe that any kind of the unilateral

sanctions that is unauthorized by the un security council. what should be opposed and it also in a statement, it says that the unit, actual sanctions and maximum pressure cannot solve the issue. and that can only create new problems. so how china handle the current issue is not posing sanctions and not providing weapons but a calling for a political resolution. the statement has a several layers of logic. if you see the flow of the logic, it's quite agree clear. on the 1st of france, it calls for all countries to respect the sovereignty of all the nations and abandoning the cold war mentality. and the 2nd layer is about the crisis itself. it calls for seating hostilities, resuming peace talks, resolving the humanitarian crisis, and protecting civilians and prisoners. and also it focused on the opposed a fact brought by the crisis, including keeping the nuclear power plant save,

reducing strategic risk, facilitating grain exports, and stopping unilateral sanctions keeping industrialized supply chain stable and also promoting post conflict with construction. so it's a layer of promotion of, you know, based on the basic base on the grounds of talks meant also different layers of idea . given the current to situation, china has been always, are calling for peace. and china has been always saying that it wants to play a constructive oh, in this regard, including it's me mentioning that the dialogue and negotiation are the only visible solution to the ukraine crisis. and the international community should stay committed to promoting talks for peace. so not only the 2 sides, but also the entire international community should support the peaceful resolution or political resolution of the current situation. just as

beijing calls for a peaceful conflict resolution, the indian representative at the un general assembly has also advocated for russia and ukraine to come to the negotiating table on terms that will be acceptable for both sides to d. as the general assembly mocks a jo for ukrainian conflict, it is important that we ask ourselves a few pertinent questions. all we any venue or a possible solution, acceptable to both sites? can any process that does not involve either of the 2 sides ever lead to a credible and meaningful solution? has the un system and particularly its principal organ, the un security council based on a 1945 world construct not been rendered ineffective. we will always called for dialogue and diplomacy as the only viable we ups. while we take note of the stated

objectives of today's resolution, given its inherent limitations in reaching our desired goal of securing lasting peace, we are constrained to epstein. thank that comes as the un general assembly passed, a western drafter resolution calling on russia to withdraw its forces. $141.00 countries voted in favor of the motion after 2 days of debates and new york 7 nations including russia, bella roost, and syria rejected the document while an additional $32.00 you and members abstain among them. china, india, and iran. the hungarian foreign minister has also stood up against western arm supplies that have led to an escalation in the conflict in ukraine. it became already pretty obvious that the neither delivery of weapons, nor sanctions, those measures do not save lives. to the contrary, they contribute to the prolongation and the risk of escalation of this war,

and they bring more suffering. and we do not want this regional war to become a global them. meanwhile, president to landscape, backed by western leaders, has stated he is opposed to holding discussions with russia's leader. he f says it won't make any deals with moscow preferring a military option. instead. our teeth marina co star ever has the details. in this, in a court, the steed or message divorce, where one side refuses to speak to the other to reach any sort of settlement that this score would likely grow and dry gone at cost to both parties involved. and it's this parallel were seen on an international scale in ukraine. right now our best negotiators and diplomats are soldiers. negotiations with moscow are currently impossible. we will not participate in any talks. if russia goes for willful war crimes, even in this than what is the point of talking to

a country that voluntarily worsens its negotiating position, the only desire is to destroy the racist monstrosity with a terrorist country. negotiations only through the sites of the defense forces. we latoya, we are ready for a dialogue with russia, but with a different russian precedent, or is she in this position has been officially signed into law? it seems the ukrainian government is not only not interested in peace. it's actually made peace illegal. while all along russia has been making clear, it's ready to returns. it's hawks. it was russian on the eve of the ukrainian crisis, which consistently proposed to the west to sign agreements on mutual security guarantees. all of them were arrogantly rejected. we have repeatedly had that the president does not refuse to negotiate by those who do refused should understand that the longer takes the more difficult it is to find a solution that are unlike ukraine. russia has never refused dialogue and the such for diplomatic waste to resolve the conflict. this is our constant position. at the

same time of western mainstream media and politicians have largely ignored ross's calls for peace pretending they're not happening. this dance certainly fits the narrative of russia as the uncompromising aggressor, but at what expense to later will continue to stop read ukraine for as long as you take sacks ho, we're going to be with you mister president. or is laura will lose of you. i mean, obviously ukraine can count on italy because as we've shown from the beginning, even across government shock, we have been there and we will be there. she said it even if both sides could somehow route for the all like the minsk agreements supposed to end the war and that on boss. it would still be meaningless because we now know the intent to do so was never truly there. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give you crane

time ukraine use this time to become stronger as you can see today. the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of to day since 2014 ukraine has strengthened its military posture. it is now better trained and equipped, and it is the merit of the minsk agreements that have given the ukrainian army this opportunity. 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 while the global it leads talk of negotiations and peace or clain to these apparently have to happen with doubt rosters, voice been heard or even represented at the negotiations. sounds more like a kangaroo court than a real dispute resolution letter is zalinski is dependent on the west for political, economic and military survival on the willing to see how western interference in

ukraine has led key of down the rocky road to war with moscow over the last decade, but it's too late to change direction as washington, once every one playing by its own rules. when it comes to our, the way we're approaching the relationship with with china, we're not seeking to contain china. we're not seeking the whole china back. we are seeking resolutely, so to uphold the rules based international order and in, in a, in a practical way. that means insisting that countries make good on their commitments and play by the rules that we've all agree to. it seems the collective west has agreed that now is not the time for peace, no matter how loudly they claim to seek it, or how often they gaslight moscow, and the conferences talks or votes without russia's voice cannot to peace, but will rather lead the conflict down the road to know where the un itself is just

dead on arrival when it comes to dealing with this. you don't hear anybody vigorously from the un wanting to, let's say, look at the origins of this to consider concerns security concerns that moscow and, and which were raised with washington and the europeans, and nobody paid any attention to conflict will undoubtedly escalate. since ms. lewinsky insists upon obtaining a more advanced weapons and to continue the conflict. he risks really losing the whole country. the u. s. sabotage of the north stream pipelines was aimed at cutting off europe from affordable russian gas. that's according to pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh,

speaking exclusively to option returns the ongoing underground, where he described the timeline of the planning that went into the attack. started with the secret negotiations held in washington. the people doing it thought this was in a bad idea. they gave the white house some options to maybe bluff or convince reporting that the cost is going to be very high. and but then when the white house blow by, talk publicly about this within 3 weeks of the briefing, information he got. and victoria knew of both within a 3 week period and late january, early february of last year. both said publicly, well, we know we can stop it and let me be, let me, let me. so the news kind of is, if, if a we will stop the north she wanted and the president was asked after he said that by reporters, it's a fame that is all on tape with on the nightly news report. is that, well, how will you do it? he said, let me tell you, we know how to do it. we can do it language like that. and at that point, the guys in the group were upset because it was supposed to be covert operation.

and by the time they finally, they did their job, they made it possible they, they planted the bombs with 8 of navy divers and. and then it just sat there. the bomb sat there for months was planted in june, but by wish, by so when, when the war look, you look like the ukrainians were doing ok. by late september there was certainly evidence of a serious serious issue. there wasn't going to be a cakewalk for the ukrainians. i could some people in the press wrote and at that point, the group that made it possible. understood that he did it for political purposes period is not going to help to war. and what it does, what he was doing it for was to prevent germany and western europe if case the winter came quickly from opening up the pipeline. the german government had, they had done the sanction. they stopped the pipeline. but the german government, the right to open up the new one. and that wasn't wanted by by that's the rationale

for the mission to make sure that europe in western europe keeps on. funneling supporting nato and keeps on falling arms into into what is clearly a proxy war against russia. that's being fought right now. published on february 8th, the report alleged the pipelines were mine by u. s. navy divers, in june last year, the journalist at washington used nato military drills as cover for the operation with assistance from norway. according to the report, joe biden made the decision after 9 months of consultations with his security advisors. the claims have been denied by both washington. i'm the e. you with officials dismissing it as speculation, and even fiction. for more revelations, from the man who previously expose you are swore crimes in vietnam and iraq. you can watch a full interview with seymour hersh on going underground right here on our tea this saturday. ah, nigeria,
