on their own separate ways and in the process, arms control appears to be dead in the water. more troubling times. ahead with moscow warns the west and ukraine that it would respond if kids were to invade the moldova breakaway region of funds. yes. to where russian peacekeepers have been stationed for more than 3 decades, china's called on the west to stop abusing unilateral sanctions on to do their share to deescalate the war in ukraine, saying the dialog on negotiation are the only viable solutions to the conflict. on did an interview that going underground. renowned investigative journalist seymour hersh, breaks down the ledges. us sabotage of the nazi pipelines she recently exposed and a bomb shall report that's been denied by washington. that's the rationale for the mission to make sure that europe in western europe keeps on funnelling, supporting nato, and keeps on falling arms into, into what is clearly

a proxy war against russia. just going 5 pm on friday, evening k in moscow. my name is peter scott and where he's on info's. joining us from, excuse me, welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. the russian foreign ministry has issued a warning to the west and ukraine of an appropriate response. if kids were to invade the moldova breakaway region of trans nestor, we warn the united states naval member countries and the ukrainian wards against any next provocative steps. we consistently advocate resolving all issues through political and diplomatic means. at the same time, no one should have any doubts that the armed forces of the russian federation will adequately respond to the provocation of the key of regime. if one should happen was flesh this out. i'm join now live in the studio, but sees a steve sweeney. steve, thanks for joining those. great,

that was what we know so far about these claims. what we've just heard, the statement from the ministry of foreign affairs, with some very strong words. now russia has been warning of a possible provocation in moldova, where a court has a troop presence bikes there in the self proclaimed republic of trans. mr. yeah. and why does it matter? well, russia has had this peacekeeping presence in the region for 3 decades. now this followed a better 2 year long war between promot oven and pro transmission forces that left around $1000.00 debt. this of course, came during the last days of the soviet union. now many citizens in trans nestea hold russian port. it's a russian majority. speaking region, it declared its independence for mold over, but of course, this is not internationally recognized. now russia held broker a piece deal there in 1992. that brought an end to the conflict and it had troops station the ever since. and was the most open response been well mold davis, pro western prime minister has appealed to calm and dismissed. the allegations of

this alleged full flag invasion. now technically tension have been escalating story for some time last week. moldova barn citizens from soviet batteries and montenegro from entering the country and that they could prove a need to be there and a group of opposition. mold open, m p. 's are raising the issue with the o. s. c. off the warning, russia of the possible provocation. and can you tell us, what do we know about the board attentions that have been ongoing now? well, ukraine is accused of a significant military build up on the borders of the self proclaimed republic, with ukrainian drones reportedly flying overhead. now we don't know the exact number that there's somebody around that puts in a figure as high as 20000 soldiers must on the board as this is of course unconfirmed at this stage. but the russian defense ministry has described the truth numbers as significant. his statements, the russian defense ministry has recorded

a significant accumulation of personnel and military equipment of ukrainian units near the border with transistor, the deployment of artillery and firing positions, as well as an unprecedented increase in flights of unmanned aircraft, of the armed forces of ukraine over the territory of the transmitter republic, the implementation of a plan's provocation by the ukrainian authorities, poses a direct threat to the russian peacekeeping force deployed legally in trans mr. now, as, as k responded to these allegations from the russian defense ministry. well i, i think we should say the tensions continue to escalate the conflict is, is becoming quite serious. now. the most over house recently pulled out of a number of treaties and agreements that were made off to the collapse of the soviet union. the former president of holdover appealed to ukraine to resolve the matter peacefully. and as we heard russia remains committed to dialogue over the contested area. has kept responded yet well. not so far. at this stage,

ukraine has remained tight. well stephen, i hope you bring us any updates on when you get them. thanks very much for that. or mold overs. former presidents eager donna, i was also the main opposition leader in the countries slammed the current government government policy as cold on the nation to avoid destabilizing the situation in trans nice them. this comes as moldova face as political turmoil, with thousands of residents, protesting against the government and high energy costs. a political analyst told us that moldova rhetoric is aimed at pleasing the west and ukraine. liberty with any issue demilitarization of trends. nestor is on the one hand, the official position of cheer snell. but on the other hand, such a declaration in such a tense time causes great resonance because the modern government does not always voice such a position. the fact that they returned to the term demilitarization, which implies the withdraw of the russian peacekeeping. contingent from trans

nestor, is perceived both in moscow and theresa pole as a provocation. this was unexpected and suggest that just now is not afraid to use such a term. and it's dangerous and can lead to consequences. but one way or another, most of the population of more dover is in favor of neutrality and does not support radical solutions. according to the latest polls, i believe that the current government of moldova wants to show loyalty to the west and to kia as things are going very badly for them in social and economic spheres. the use the theme of war to show society that they are doing something useful, solving some serious problems, but they are creating these problems themselves. that's the way i think the government wants to keep its rating from falling by whipping up fear. while nato chief, you install some burg, stands for further arm supplies to keep saying, the weapons are the way to achieve pace. china bronze, the miniature block as having a cold war mentality which has escalated the conflict. china doesn't have much

credibility because they have not been able to condemn the illegal invasion of ukraine. so meaning that if you want a peaceful, negotiate the solution where ukraine pervades as a sovereign in the plantation. then we need to support ukraine military now. military support to day is the way to achieve a peaceful agreement to moral del, at its issue. but these major crisis shows that cold war mentality will lead to division and confrontation, although the cold war concluded, or 3 decades ago, the 0 sum game and its mentality still exists more confrontational leads to conflicts and was nato is a product of the cold war. but it did not add with the cold war and has expanded and escalated the situation and has become the major factor in the conflict. and i think with our commerce as china asked the will to prevent the conflict from even further escalation,

saying that leaders must come to the negotiating table and resume piece talks is for menissi published a 12 point political settlement plan, which includes the condemnation of the west unilateral sanctions that places on countries around the globe, china poses feel actual sanctions, unauthorized by the un security council. relevant contrition, stop abusing unilateral sanctions and long arm years diction against all 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 which should be opposed. and it 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

a, 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 the sovereignty of all the nations and abandoning the cold war mentality. and the 2nd layer is about the crisis itself, cause for seating hostilities. resuming peace talks, resolving the humanitarian crisis, and protecting civilians and prisoners. and also it focused on the post 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, but also different layers of idea. given the current to situation,

china has been always, are calling for peace. and china has me all the same that it wants to play a constructive role in this re hard, including 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 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. joseph gregory mahoney, who's professor of politics. the east china normal university says that needs those exploits in the conflicts and ukraine. nato is opposed in part because nato is a military organization, one that's led above all by the united states. now the culture of us military is always oriented towards fighting. there's an institutional aggressiveness that only

understands one way forward. and this is doubly true here because nato is exploiting this conflict. to expand and waste, previously unimagined was soaring budgets, prestige empower, but behind all of this is a u. s. g o strategic game, one that wants to reinforce it's a gemini, over europe, knock russia down, and then leverage those gains if realised against china. 80 china, hawks, and nato are nothing new. that said, the nato chief appears sympathetic. it seems to washington's ongoing efforts to expand nato to confront china a given his recent trips to asia. i don't think the e u in an absolute sense is opposed to peace. the rhetoric i'm saying from e u and european national politicians aside from a for a few including i think mc wrong, who i think is slowly coming back to a census is consistent with washington and western mainstream media narratives that have simply overwhelmed the discourse. the legit us sabotage of the north

stream pipelines was aimed at cutting off europe from affordable russian gas. well that's at least is according to the pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, who is speaking exclusively to action, right? some the ongoing on the ground, while the washington denies any involvements he describes the timeline starting with the secret negotiations. how didn't washington the people doing it thought this was in a bad idea. they gave the white house some options to maybe bluff or convince of putting at the cost is going to be very high. and but then when the white house blue book by talk publicly about this, within 3 weeks of the briefing, the 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. it's all on tape with on a nightly news report that 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 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 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 gonna be a cakewalk for the ukrainians. i could some people in the press route and their 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, and western europe if case the winter came quickly from opening up the pipeline.

the german government had, they had done the sanction. they had stopped the pipeline. but the german government, the right to open up the new one. and that wasn't wanted bye bye, that's the rational for the mission. to make sure that europe and western europe keeps on funnelling, 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 reports alleged the pipelines were mind by u. s. navy divers, in june last year, the journalist claimed that washington use the nato military drills of cover for the operation with assistance from norway. according to the report, joe biden made a decision after 9 months of consultations with the security advisors. and the claims have been denied by both washington and the you with officials that dismissing them speculation and fiction. more for more revelations, from the man who previous to expose us war crimes. if vietnam and iraq will have the full interview with seymour hersh ongoing on the ground. right. shell nazi this saturday will meanwhile stay side us house minority leader hakim jeffries was

grilled by journalists, jose vega, and the quite assess the exchange, the seeking to gloss over a direct question of the u. s. is a legit involvement in the sabotage of the north stream? pipeline, he was accused of putting american lives at risk one, i've got no information to suggest that the united states was involved in bombing the noise i was, you would've been, you weren't brain on it. so that does not silence me. so you can hear me right now . i want you to thank something about the bombing. we're going to continue to stay with the ukrainian do not you. i love her war again. we need if we need card because a we need to talk. i am not going to take this, it's a, it's a you are meeting like we're seeing. did they even read the accuracy? it's a now between now how about

a not later, right. how about i? you can dive deeper into the murky node stream bloss saga as well as her from the american investigative journalist behind the revolution. the revelations of a legit, western involvement in the it's like all of that's on much more on our websites or t dot com on this friday marks. exactly one year since the war in ukraine started in a lot has happened in the last 12 months to say the least. i'll tease don't call said sources through some the key moment. the prelude to russia's special military operations saw a massive intensification of ukrainians shelling of civilian areas and don boss and plans for renewed assault against the region. the leaders of the van 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 her than yours. first, 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 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. mar saw a number of attempts to negotiate. a quick ends to the conflict with both sides, sitting down for talks and minced and istanbul. but while russian officials are 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 the item you put in when you want the ukrainians to win this war. we want to see mr. 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 weapon 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 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. in the beginning of april, russian troops deescalate it and pulled back from ukraine's northern regions. he of quickly declared 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 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 don 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 the codes were bruce, the question raises what is the reason of his blood and and to shoot provocation in boucher which cannot be excused. we are inclined to think that the reason is to desire to disrupt in going to gucci agents. he acute, but to eat that if you cheat twist, they know that american parsons are certainly complicit in this criminal action i spreading 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 cape regimes. crohn's by mid may russia secured victory and 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, it's western allies. these men who left as off stall, covered, and swastikas, and other nazi symbols were heroes. however, the russians speaking locals, who suffered through life under the aus all occupation, had some very different stories to tell. uncle glanced to for you. 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 like mice. oh no. maam, i've buried my mother and decided to stay here with the wounded arsenal. 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 tional talked to the conflict. we support ukraine, but that doesn't make us pointed to the culture or we effectively at 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 russia. 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 keith 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's law. this includes countries already under enormous dress. however, 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 as well as most of our banks have ties with european bunks. 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 its shelling of the zap raj, a nuclear power station, the biggest of its kind in europe used to have like it was a little. so 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 new killer disaster at the plant is impossible to even imagine. once again, 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 within his mother in the to the shelling continues, despite the fact that international atomic energy agency staff has been presented

to facility and it is not hard do it in to find it, pardon 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, 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 in referendums to join the russian federation. then use guns can literally whom 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 welcome this and congratulates the ukrainians special operations units who are expected to be behind this operation and motivation and luscious edison. it's a bone for the soul, especially given yesterday, was put in se birthday is correct here is have 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 sabotage and vladimir putin vowed revenge. excuse him, was who benefits from these attacks? the cave regime has placed itself among the most a taurus international terrorist organizations. there have been multiple acts of sabotage on our power plants. several high voltage power lines have been effected. there was also a number of attempt to terrorist attacks committed on russian electricity and gas

transport infrastructure. we will take serious steps to provide an adequate response, can measure it with the levels of threats to the russian federation. no one should have any doubts about that. it was a turning point and 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 pull 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, and caught cove. not long after that, the media was screaming world war 3 after missile landfall on polish territory killed 2 people. ukraine pointed the finger at russia and the western media initially blindly followed key of skewed 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. 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. would the last need to adjust its force posture there. and there is actually a lot that nato could do. turns out though it was a stray ukrainian surface to air missile 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. asked to say nothing of all the other military aid the country received from the european union countries. the us mr. sewell, 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,

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 jenny precautions said sola door was littered with bodies following a stubborn ukrainian defence. 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 chops with ongoing heavy fighting and mounting casualties. key of called for all patriotic citizens to leave the embattled city and ukrainian forces continue to wait on those western tanks, while proportion promised they will burn. and many western officials,

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 he has promising more weapons and another $500000000.00 and $8.00 to the ukrainian military. well, that's all for now to be sure to check out our t dot com fall of the latest breaking news and updates. i'm a see a ride back here at the top of the hour. thanks for watching. ah look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to great trust, rather than fear.
