5:02 am
including and offensive for art almost. now this latest development seems to further deteriorate the situation for ukrainian forces inside the city as it makes a re supply more difficult at the moment. now volunteers of the wagner private military company have been widely credited with taking multiple ukrainian positions in that particular area. this in question to day, according to the head of the wagner group of guinea proportion, a russian forces could capture our tom of sometime in early to mid spring. now he noted that the exact timing is now difficult to predict because keep continues to receive military aid from the west. now are tell, mosque is of paramount importance, both for russia and ukraine on the strategic and mental side for key of it's important to hold on to the city, to keep up the morale in the army. and that keep in fact, it's 70 kilometer
5:03 am
a defensive line. while for russia taking control over, it's almost will mean a direct route towards the cities of slug downs and crumb a tourist. now both of those cities are a part of the nest people's republic, and their liberation falls in line with the goals of russia special military operation. this comes as ukrainian forces have shall, residential areas in the town of a less key in russia, how to san region, according to local authorities and apartment building has been heavily damaged. local authorities say the ukrainian army fired 17 shells on civilians there. as of now, we have no reports of casualties. this follows tuesdays attack of done yet when 6 civilians were killed in a ukrainian attack in the area. meanwhile, friday marks exactly one year since russia started its special military operation in ukraine. there have been many developments over the last 12 months. here's our
5:04 am
tis dawn quarter with a report on some of the key moments. the prelude to russia's special military operations saw a massive intensification of ukrainian shelling of civilian areas and don boss, and plans for renewed assault against the region. the leaders of the then self proclaimed done yet scan. lugens people's republics declared mass evacuations of civilians. they had only one place to run russia, thinking this way, would you have wanted this for your child? would you? i also do on this fin, neither of my grandchildren and for the year 1st i wouldn't have left. it's just that i had a stroke. i always stayed her now if left everything, every one behind tens of thousands of women children and the elderly fil temporary shelters throughout parts of western russia where they were welcomed by locals. days after the evacuations began, vladimir putin made what he called a long overdue decision to recognize the independence of the people's republics and
5:05 am
sign treaties of military cooperation here too, that she could do that. the purpose of this operation is to protect people who for the past 8 years have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the key of regime to this. and we will seek to demilitarize and t not so fi ukraine as well as bring to trial. those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians including against citizens of the russian federation. but across the atlantic instead of addressing key ebs renewed offensive, it's constant cease fire violations or the previous 8 years in which ukraine was consistently shelling don boss, washington decided, all the blame for the conflict was moscow's to bear. russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the united states and its allies and partners will respond in the united and decisive way. more saw a number of attempts to negotiate a quick end to the conflict with both sides, sitting down for talks and minns to an est on bull. but while russian officials are
5:06 am
the ones who have been calling for a diplomatic solution long before the military operation began, he has power, careful. western patrons had something else in mind. a military victory over russia to jeden, with one german group to the sheet of vladimir putin. we want the ukrainians to win this war. we want to see mister prudent and the russian army that lose this invasion, lose this fight inside ukraine. on top of that, it was looking like he was using the negotiations to buy time until more western armaments could make it to the battlefield. he have certainly got what it wanted. thousands of western anti tank weapons systems. laser guided missiles and small arms were successfully delivered to ukraine, along with billions of dollars with the weapons and money to kiev came western sanctions of unprecedented severity on moscow. mainstream pundits predicted a death blow to the russian economy as the rubles value on international markets
5:07 am
began a rapid downward spiral. but russia central bank reacted effectively and stabilized the markets leading to a backlash. and suddenly the west began to feel the heat of its own economic warfare. and the beginning of april russian troops deescalate it and pulled back from ukraine's northern regions. he of quickly declared it a victory while moscow called it a gesture of good will to pave the way for a ceasefire. but for the west, it was merely a q to double down on its military aid to kiev. this wall will be one on the battlefield, additional $500000000.00 euros from the e. p. a for on the way weapons deliveries will be tailored to ukrainian needs. as a result, ukraine intensified it's bombardments of civilian areas across on boss and the information war was also escalating, as we saw widespread fake news from key of supporters concerning a legit russian war crimes was because what bruce the question raises, what is the reason of his blood and, and to food provocation in boucher which cannot be excused. we are inclined to
5:08 am
think that the reason is to desire to disrupt in going negotiations here. cuba to eat that if you cheat twit, they know that american pot simms are certainly complicit in this criminal action i spending fakes. and blocking the truth now, tentative point of view. the materials of the investigators, they become complicit in this terrible tragedy. which was the result of the cave regimes. crohn's by mid may russia secured victory in the key, daniel republic, city of mario bull, following months of heavy fighting over 2000 ukrainian troops, many of whom were hardened as of neo nazis finally surrendered. at the as of stall factory after a grueling siege for t evan, its western allies. these men who left as off stall, covered in swastikas and other nazi symbols were heroes. however, the russians speaking locals, who suffered through life under the aus occupation, had some very different stories to tell uncle glance to free. my wife told me that a ukrainian tank came and was shooting at a residential house. i have family there 2 kids. they were hiding in the basement
5:09 am
like mice. oh no mama. i've buried my mother and decided to stay here with the wounded off the scariest moment was when the resolved fighters came. they used us as human shields. june saw ukrainian forces begin to use american supplied high marks, missiles which are both highly precise and highly devastating, but instead of focusing such firepower on the battlefield alone, washington helped kiev coordinate attacks against countless residential areas across on boss. 1 ah, ah ah, despite the west continued supply of these nato great rockets and ukrainians use of them to kill civilians, u. s. and europe still claims they are not a party to the conflict. nathan, not paul to, to the conflict. we support ukraine,
5:10 am
but that doesn't make us pointed to the culture, or we effectively, or to war with russia. no, we're not. not at all. russia is at war inside ukraine. and despite the rhetoric we heard from bruton last night, trying once again to make this about the west versus russia, the united states versus russia, or nato versus russian. nothing could be farther from the truth. in the military operations, 5th months, russia liberated the entire lugens people's republic. the black sea grained deal was also reached between moscow and t. f. with turkey and the united nations helping broker the agreement. ukrainian grain could now return to the international market. under the protection of the russian navy, all after the west accused moscow of sparking a wave of world hunger, payton is weapon ising hunger. he's using feed security as a callous to roll. the decision to weaponized food is moscow's and moscow along this includes countries already under enormous dress. however,
5:11 am
africans made it clear who was really to blame here. so lexia, or as far as access to russian products is concerned, the african union members are facing swift related sanction problems. far as most of our banks have ties with european bunks, the usual payment procedures are no longer available to them. the vast majority of the grain exported under the deal consistently went to those who needed it. the least specifically in western europe. august was a month of nuclear danger. ukraine intensified. it's shelling of the zappa raja nuclear power station, the biggest of its kind in europe. yes, they are like it was levels. if the attacks of ukrainian army continue a new killer catastrophe could happen at any moment. in this case, the entire responsibility for this will fall on the western sponsors of key of huge territories in ukraine. russia and other countries will be under the threat of radioactive contamination. the real scale of a nuclear disaster at the plant is impossible to even imagine. once again,
5:12 am
the west's knee jerk reaction was to blame it all on russia, which controls the plant. even the international atomic energy agencies visit to the site failed to make any headway as the organization stopped short of admitting that ukraine is the one targeting the facility. the use both of them the to the shelling continues despite the fact that international atomic energy agency staff has been presented to facility. and it is not high do it in to find it party responsible. in the same months, amnesty international was accused of supporting terrorists by ukrainian president vladimir the lensky for daring to expose the ukrainian military's use of civilians as human shields and violating the laws of war. month 7, ukraine launches relentless counter attacks in the regions of his son and hark of incurring massive casualties. and washington admitted it took a huge role in coordinating ukrainian troops. we do engage with ukrainians, you know, at a, at a variety of levels on the military side. as we've said previously,
5:13 am
we do provide time sensitive information to enable them to conduct operations and defend their, their homeland. in the same month, russia announced a partial mobilization with the goal of drafting, $300000.00 reservists, while for previously ukrainian regions voted and referendums to join the russian federation. then use guns. can littleton, of his liquor? referendums were held in the de nats can lugens people's republics and is approaching. and harrison regents. the results are well known. people have made their choice an unambiguous choice. in october, ukraine carried out a terrorist attack on the crimea bridge, killing 4 people, and the west congratulated them. estonia certainly welcomed this in, congratulates the ukrainian special operations units who are expected to be behind this operation. motivation and luscious edison. it's a bone for the soul, especially given yesterday was put, it's birthday is correct. he received such gift. i wish him more of such gifts, just 2 weeks prior russia's north stream gas pipelines were crippled by an act of
5:14 am
sabotage and vladimir putin vowed revenge. those actions simply cannot be ignored. we will, of course, consider further steps. it would be impossible to do otherwise. it was a turning point in moscow's military strategy, massive high precision. russian missile and drone strikes against ukraine's military and energy infrastructure became the name of the game. no, ever saw rushes pulled back from her son's regional capital and a move to save the lives of soldiers and civilians. as the city was too exposed and dangerous to defend, this was followed by a ukrainian purge of so called russian collaborators there and in carter cove. not long after that, the media was screaming world war 3 after missile landfall and polish territory killed 2 people. ukraine pointed the finger at russia and the western media initially blindly followed key of skied, give as you how many times as ukraine said that the actions of the terrorist state will not be limited to our country alone. hissing nato territory with miss isles.
5:15 am
this is a russian missile attack on collective security. this is a really significant escalation. action is needed. nature has shouldn't be restrained, at least in its language, in its message to russia. with the you asked me to adjust it's force posture there, and there is actually a lot that nato could do. turns out though, it was a stray ukrainian surface to air missiles, something, even washington and poland were forced to admit december the u. s. has already reached a whopping $22000000000.00 and it's total military assistance to kiev with almost $45000000000.00 more in aid approved for next year as to say nothing of all the other military aid the country received from the european union countries. yes, mr. c. when you put it today, the military potential and capabilities of almost all major nato countries are actively used against russia. nevertheless, our enlisted soldiers and officers are fighting for russia courageously, steadfastly and confidently step by step,
5:16 am
solving the tasks that have been set. the 1st month of the new year saw russian forces capture the key strategic town of sola dar, along with its surrounding suburbs. leading the charge was the wagner private military company, whose leader you've gainey proportion said solid or was littered with bodies following a stubborn ukrainian defense. that cost tremendous losses. taking control of the town meant the path was cleared for russian troops to launch offensives on our cha mosque, also known as bach moot, which have captured would expose ukrainian lines to a number of potentially devastating russian assaults around the months. and washington and berlin agreed to send us abrams and german leopard tanks to ukraine . after a long period of reluctance come february, all eyes are on our charm of sc with ongoing heavy fighting and mounting casualties . key of called for all patriotic citizens to leave the embattled city and ukrainian forces continued to wait on those western tanks, while proportion promised they will burn. and many western officials,
5:17 am
like the you case, defense minister are questioning if they'll even make a difference on the battlefield. as the casualties of this conflict grow more and more in number, joe biden paid a visit to key of promising more weapons and another $500000000.00 and $8.00 to the ukranian military. now enjoying life by janice, but cone and finish media director and chief editor of patriotic news network. welcome. thank you very much. so a year has passed since the russian a special military operation. again in the early days there were so much uncertainty. where do you see rushes position in this moment? yeah, for us, everything started. one week earlier, window crane started the full scale at back in the 7th, the end of, of february, 2022. and of course, for us, russia finally came to help the doing, but defenders and it was
5:18 am
a very crucial moment, very important of off year behind from, from certainly from all parties for dawn, but people for the don't the defenders in russian army. but i'm quite optimistic because i've been lived there for already 8 years and i see the improvements, what has happened. i feel so soft enemy, as it has been for 8 years for the most people. very important point to say that this conflict began long ago. did you expect it to last this long and how or when do you see it ending? certainly i saw it already in 2014, when it started. i understood the this is a geopolitical conflict. it has not been made, no crane. it was planted far away from t of, from dornbush, from even moscow. where exactly the don't of the conflict in ukraine was planted.
5:19 am
we have to go all the way through the rand corporation to pentagon to, to, to do the core of the western powers. i didn't expect any fast changes because it needs geopolitical changes and wage war. you need to do side of it and both side needs to be ready for it. but the russia has getting stronger and, and russia is doing its constitutional stuff for, for saving the russian russian life. there have been many revelations recently, but we still see the west seeking to convince the international community that represents it as a whole. however, this year again, has brought such a great discussion on the issue of multi polarity. has the west brought this global shift on itself to sort of just isolating itself and bringing other states together like china, russia, it on the yeah. oh, what we saw it. it's goes back to the 2007, i think when,
5:20 am
when the landmark speech was dawning, dimension security conference center and the rush, it made the status clear that the, the russia is not part of the international community. what they say they claim to be, oh, of course, a china, iran, brazil, of many great powers. even turkey nowadays are joining eva, saudi arabic joining for the move to pull our world. we are talking about 80 percent of the land masses of the people and landmass of the world war north in these western lead to oh, it's a national community of what, what they are. the talking is the, the golden 1000000000, but we are 7 of 6000000000. other people not included in their wealth community or russia, represents the multiple are world which is the fact truly the real world. the full world and the west is a power structure of power union. oh,
5:21 am
where is no border lives there though. it's all loopy. i'm national. it's corporate that rule. it's dawn from the lawn. don't washington. oh and other power cent yourself. the west. they claim to be the world, but they are just a minority. andrew. and speaking of that, the finished prime minister is one of calves largest, biggest supporters. not long ago, she said russia can't win because it would show the world that you could invade a country and take advantage of it. do these western leaves? expect the world to forget about yugoslavia, iraq, afghanistan, libya, syria, when the west basically destroyed all of these countries. it's very sad to see this globally believing their agendas, the in their power agenda, the whole idea of western hedge of money over everything. the finish prime minister is a world economic forum,
5:22 am
raised young global is lead or what we say 0 as keys one. justin's rudo is one day our my call as is one. they are all from the same power structure. and unfortunately they are using people's mandate to wage their own agenda. and this, this policy's disaster for, for nations like greenland is and the truth behind all these years, you know, 30 years russian federation and finland has had to main agreement, neighbor agreement and not a single fine. russia has threatened finland, threaten our fee for our national interest, nothing 30 years. russia has followed real after all agreement with finland without faith. but feel now days is global as government in finland is willing to wage even war against russia. now on the topic of western leaders,
5:23 am
they use top diplomat. joseph burrell also said recently that this is an existential war for europe. what do you think of that statement? good. she's how geopolitical the civil war in ukraine since it's was waged and started by the coup western beckett group making the conflict mercenaries naturally spots aliens in dawn. but it shows the real nature of this war because it, it was planted far away. and this is what your son bore, l is representing the western power structure and playing like this movie, national role about their existence because of dorm bus and the attack through the russian world through the harry, the child, the russian. oh, the the whole poor of with each like to reach to for,
5:24 am
for the wish. and the russia red line has been crossed. now it's about their existence. russia was done, but the wish is very afraid of their own future. no. no, on the other hand, as you mentioned, russia has said this is an existential war for them. they see it as fighting for their existence. do you think that had russia not began this special military operation? things would be different. you know, the don't was and though, oh crenan, it's russian world. it's, it's, it's the russian reactor inside of it. and the whole, oh, independent russia, after the soviet union collapsed, eustace builded itself, not only physically and economically and geopolitical, but also ritual. and the whole russian heritage both. what is the rush? it has been christian. it has been attacked by by oh,
5:25 am
massacre off the russian population in the used to print. and, oh, of course russia cannot lose the war against its own heart. you know, that's where the future russia is born the to viet, today's rational and, and i think that the roches showing great strength in protecting its mainland. you talk about how many times russia's been attacks. do you think it's possible ever for the western russia to coexist peacefully? and how does that happen and what is the time frame? i think that we will see a big geopolitical changes forward. the west is losing its hedge money for sure. and we are, i think that we will see the fall of the dollar, the economical side of this, each comment coming like go be carry, train and,
5:26 am
and it will lead to be so positioning and creating a new more people are world. i think the west is getting ready to escape or the big c 2 words, the, the fortress of the united states and what they are leaving behind is, of course ruins that and destruction, especially in the was all countries in the, in the russian borders. it's very sad, but fealand is one of them. the bow dixie is one of them may be sweet and prayed. another about the space will suffer from the but it was not the russians who started this quote, obsolete 300. let's hope for the best janice book code and finish media director and chief editor of the patriotic news network. thank you. thank you very much. the china has called on the world to prevent the ukrainian conflict from escalating further asking leaders to come to the negotiating table and resume p stocks. it's
5:27 am
foreign ministry published a 12 point political statement plan, which includes the condemnation of the west is unilateral sanctions that it places on other countries. china poses feel actual sanctions, unauthorized by the un security council. relevant contra should 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 people, china believe that any kind of the unilateral sanctions that is unauthorized by the un security council should be opposed. and also in a statement, it says that 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 by calling for
5:28 am
a political resolution. with a 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 a 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 industrial supply chain stable and also promoting post conflict reconstruction. so it's a layer of promotion of, you know, based on the basically, based on the grounds of talks meant also different layers of idea. given the
5:29 am
current to situation, china has been always, are calling for peace. and china has been always saying that it wants to play a constructive role in this re hard, including it's the 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 p. so not only the 2 sides, but also the entire international community should support the peaceful resolution or political resolution of the current situation. the u. s. sabotage of the north stream pipelines was aimed at cutting off europe from affordable rushing gas. that's according to pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, speaking exclusively to option returns the ongoing under ground, where he described the timeline of the planning that went into the attack. starting
5:30 am
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 bluebook bye talk publicly about this within 3 weeks of the briefing or the information he got. and victoria 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 real south north she wanted and the president was asked after, he said that by reporters, it's a fame, it's all on tape with her on the nightly news reports of will. 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 and were upset because it was supposed to be a covert operation. and by the time they finally, they did their job, they made it possible they, they planted the bombs with 8 of the navy.
