the other is on the verge of redefining sports and gaming. he tells us what's behind this synergy? and if it's the future with go on the west and ukraine that it would respond if kids were to invade the moldova and break way. region of country where russian peacekeepers have been stationed for more than 3 decades as cold on the west to stop abusing unilateral sanctions them do their share in the escalating the war and ukraine in the dialogue and negotiations are the only viable solutions. the conflict ended an interview to going under ground. renowned investigative journalist, seymour hersh, breaks down the legit us sabotage or the non seem pipeline which he recently exposed and a bomb show 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 keeps on pulling arms into, into what is clearly a proxy war against russia with, from moscow to the world. this is our team to national. my name is peter scott and these the top stories at 7 pm, moscow time. thanks for joining us. we start off with the russian foreign ministry, which is issued a warning to the west on ukraine of an appropriate response. if key were to invade the mold oven break way region of trans. yes, the 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. russia has been warning of this possible provocation in moldova, where of course,

it has a true presence in the self proclaimed republic of trans missed year now ukrainian saboteurs. dressed as russian troops are at legibly planning to attack trans, nivia to provide a pretext for a ukrainian invasion. why does it matter, though? well, moscow's had a peacekeeping presence for 3 decades following a bitter a 2 year long war between a pro transmission through some pro mode oven force. is it left around a 1000 dead? now this call of course, came towards the end of the or the last years of the soviet union. and many citizens in trans mystery hold russian powerful it's, it's a majority. russian speaking region declared independence from modo roles. this is not internationally recognized. are russia how broker piece they had in 9090 to the ended the conflict, and he had his troops stationed there ever since. now it's worth noting the am mode over was awarded a you candidate member states as last year. on the same day that ukraine received

it, but it is not a part of nato, and we're talking about mold over what it was. his response, been what moto was her pro western prime minister? his appealed for calm, official with a dismiss, the allegations of this so called a false flag invasion as russian psychological operations. they claim that russia wants to install a puppet government there. now tensions have been escalating for some time last week, moldova, and citizens from serbia, belarus, and montenegro from entering the country. an essay could pre, they had a good reason to be that and the group of opposition mold open m p. 's a. raising the issue with the o s. c, and this is also, they will rush, are all the possible provocations with ukrainian drones reportedly flying overhead . now we don't know the numbers. some media outlets are putting the figure some 20000 soldiers. a master on the board is, but this is of course unconfirmed. at this stage, moto has responded. it said it has no identified

a threat on it. she cranium border, but the russian defense ministry describes the 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 trans nestor, 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 trans, mr. republic. the implementation of a plans provocation by the ukranian authorities poses a direct threat to the russian peacekeeping force deployed legally entrenched mister? well i think it's worth pointing out the tensions of escalated moldova house pulled down to a number of treaties and agreements that were made off of the collapse of the soviet union. the former president of moldova has urged ukraine to resolve this matter peacefully. as we've heard, russia is committed to dialogue over the contested area. but so far ukraine has my

remaining time on the issues. moldova, his former presidents, ego don, who's also the main opposition leader in the country, slammed the current government's policy and as cold on the nation to avoid destabilizing the situation in trans nieta. this comes as mold over faces, political turmoil, with thousands of residents, protesting against the governments and high energy costs. a political analyst told us that moldova rhetoric is aimed at pleasing the west and ukraine is made, which is that in you, you should demilitarization of trends. nestor is on the one hand, the official position of just now, but on the other hand, such a declaration in such a tense time causes great residence because the modern government does not always voice such a position. the fact that they return to the term demilitarization, which implies the withdraw of the russian peace keeping contingent from trans nestor, is perceived both in moscow and teresa poem, 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 moldova is in favor of neutrality and does not support radical solutions. according to the latest poles. i believe that the current government of moreover wants to show loyalty to the west into keith. 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. and while nate, so chief n stalson berg stands for further arm supplies to keep saying that the weapons are way to achieve peace, china's branded the military block as having a cold war mentality which has escalated the conflicts. china doesn't have much

credibility because they have not been able to condemn the illegal invasion of ukraine. so meaning that if we want a peaceful, negotiate the solution where you crane pervades the sovereign in the pent nation. then we need to support ukraine military now. military support to day is the way to achieve a peaceful agreement to moral del, at it. he should have all 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 it's 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. see that nicer list comes as china's asked the will to prevent the conflict from further escalation. senior leaders must come to negotiating table or museum piece talks as foreign ministry published at 12 points political statement plan. so political settlement plan,

which includes condemnation of western sanctions placed on countries across 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 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. which should be opposed and 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,

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. 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 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 role in this re hard, including 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. not only the 2 sides, but also the entire international community should support the people resolution or political resolution of the current situation. or joseph gregory mahoney, who's a professor of politics. the east china normal university says that nate, those exploiting 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 u. s. 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 budget's prestige. empower that 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. anti 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. elected us sabotage of the node

stream pipeline was aimed at cutting off europe from affordable rushing gas. well, that's according to the pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, who were speaking exclusively to ashton, but sunday on going under ground. although washington denies any involvements, he describes the apparent timeline starting with secret negotiations 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 of putting 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, information he got and victoria moved 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 a 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 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 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. it wasn't going to be a cakewalk for the ukrainians. i could some people in the press wrote and their point, the group that made it possible. understood that he did it for political purposes period. it's 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 had stopped the pipeline. but the german government, the right to open up the new one. and that was and wanted by, by,

that's irrational 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 or published on the february. the 8th. the reports alleged the pipelines were mind by u. s. navy divers, in june last year, the journalist claimed that washington used nato military drills as cover for the operation with assistance from norway. according to reports joe by to made the decision after 9 months of consultations with his security advisors. now the claims had been denied by both washington and the you with officials dismissing them are speculation and fiction for more revelations from the man who previous exposed us war crimes in vietnam. underwrite will have the full interview with seymour hersh on going on the ground. right here on our see this saturday. i mean while stay side us house minority leader hakim jeffries was grilled by journalists, jose vega,

and necessity, exchange seeking to gloss over a direct question of the alleged u. s. involvement in the sub that size of the pipeline. he was accused of putting american lives at risk. i want you to say something about the bombing, we're gonna continue to stay with the ukranian. again, we believe we made car a not later. we can dive deeper into the murky nord stream bloss saga, as well as hear from the american investigative journalist behind the revolutions of the legend west involvement in the attack. we get all that on more on our website, r t dot com with russia's military intervention in ukraine, known his 2nd year arts. he's don't call to recap the key developments of the past

12 months. 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 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 for neither of my grandchildren and her than yours. i wouldn't have left, it's just that i had a stroke. i always stayed 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 phi 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 these attack will bring, and the united states and its allies and partners will respond in the united and decide if way. mark saw a number of attempts to negotiate a quick ends. the conflict with both sides sitting down for talks and minns, and it's don bull. but while russian officials are the ones who have been calling

for a diplomatic solution long before the military operation began, he has powerful western patrons had something else in mind. a military victory over russia to jeden with one german gone to the sheet of virginia booting. we 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 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 protected a death blow to the russian economy as the rubles value on international markets

began a rapid downward spiral. a rush of 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 de escalated and pulled back from ukraine's northern regions. g of quickly declared 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 aids to key of this wall will be one on the battlefield. additional $500000000.00 euros from the e. p. a for underway, weapon deliveries will be tailored to ukrainian needs. as a result, ukraine intensified it's bombardments of civilian areas across done 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 case of bruce. the question arises, what is the reason of his blood and unusual provocation in boucher which cannot be excused? we are inclined to think that the reason is to desire to disrupt,

then go negotiations you cuba to eat. or if you choose to say, now that american parsons are certainly complicit in this criminal action i spending fakes and blocking the truth. now talents of point of view, the materials of the investigators, they become complicit in this terrible tragedy which was the result of the case for james 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, its western allies. these men who left as of 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 mamma. 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 ult, ported to the conflict, we support ukraine,

but that doesn't make us pointed to the culture, or we effectively, or to war with russia. no, we are 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 operation, 5th months, russia liberated the entire lugens people's republic. the black sea grain deal was also reached between moscow and kiev, 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 pigeon is weapon ising hunger. he's using feed security as a callous to of war. 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, sir. lexi, 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. 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 its shelling of the zappa raj, a nuclear power station. the biggest of its kind in europe used to have like it was a little holes. if the attacks of ukrainian army continue a nuclear 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 and 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. if you smoke it in the, through the shelling continues, despite the fact that international atomic energy agency staff has been presented to facility and it is not hired to it in to fight at binary responsible. in the same month, amnesty international was accused of supporting terrorists by ukrainian president vladimir zalinski 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 in washington admitted it took a huge role in coordinating ukrainian troops. we do engage the 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 home. 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 in there on the face. when liquor referendums were held in the denounce can lugens people's republics and is approaching 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 welcomes diss 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 a 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

sabotage and vladimir putin vowed revenge. excuse him, was it who benefits from these attacks? the care regime has placed itself among the most atoria, 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 good 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. has to say nothing of all the

other military aid the country received from the european union countries. the us mr. sunni put it there 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 guinea precautions, said solider 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 chalmers. 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 . he 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. he has promising more weapons and another $500000000.00 and $8.00 to the ukrainian military. but those are the main stories this out to head over to r t dot com our our social media pages from all. that's all from a pizza, scott. but nicky are in will be here at the top of the hour to bring you all the latest. i so watch it with

me. what happens when you mix digital gains with actual physical sport? something like digital? the answer is yes, because on is preparing to host the 1st ever gains of the future, a cyber contest with a physical dimension. one of the innovators, eager to study at all, is on the verge of redefining sports and gaming. he tells us what's behind this synergy and if it's the future for the grain decoupling has finally occurred with russia suspending. it's participation in the new start arms control treaty. russia in the west have gone their own separate ways and in the process arms control appears to be dead in the water. more troubling times i had ah.
