they're going to see this. yeah. busy people, the people you, you served with, what would you say to the ah, all fair in love and war. you know, it is what it is, fires exist, you know, and i'm a spar and mission mission accomplish. so, so goes with her. yes. awesome. more at gas d a r t from moscow. meantime, more than 250 ukranian troops have been killed as russian forces continue to advance nanette republic. it is according to the ministry of defense. we spoke exclusively with the head of the republic, denise pushy lin about the latest updates from the front lines and the surgeon that'll center one of our tell mosque is really in the spotlight right now. ah, recently 2 settlements were liberated, so severe kafka and jaga met with us, which allowed wagner to get closer to settlements. that allowed them to squeeze the

ring tighter around large, almost, and taking into account that there were no longer any roads or enemies supply lives . there are not under fire under the operational control of our unit hobgood. this greatly complicates the old rate a difficult situation for the enemy in the city itself, work a little harder. we also saw that the enemy blew up the dam, trying to slow down the advance of our unit 14, but could not create critical difficulties for our trip. see, the enemy continues to transfer additional reserves, which characterizes the severity of the battles that our units are conducting. daniel sco, sometimes our troops logged in or do you do the impossible, but move forward now you see there was significant improvements in the update to direction as well in the questionnaires to split just suddenly deal it. so if you're still good at how flag everything is being done by the other side to the feet are all means to audit all this is being done using civilians. we did get that impression, the good digitally that on which my practical social, this is already they established practice of the armed formations of ukraine in

general, the ukrainian regime to create the most difficult conditions for the civilian population sales. and this is what the current blockades are connected with. and those that have been in place since 2014 will the, at some point, which with this tactic became even more cynical. we see the better and seen and tell restored in his ational. so 3 chill and 93 people have already been named journal, including 8 children from pedal mines dropped by drunk. so some his name g, g. now as our ukraine, scott has pet old mines throughout residential areas. in the don ask republic, a correspondent, roman culture of visits, a local hospital where he spoke to a child who was wounded by the deadly weapon. several districts here in the nest have been under fire by the ukrainian military in the last 48 hours. as the result, several people were wounded, all of them being taken to these hospitals, but apart from a shilling residential areas, ukraine are all so planting,

so called petal mines mines that are designed to make a person for life. these people are also in this hospital right now. we'll talk to the head doctor who will tell us about them. machine swimming, a video for flip those since last summer we've been actively receiving the victims of petal mines for 2 or 3 people a day. we work with the media, inform the public that the injury from such a mine is very severe and immediately leads to a handicap. it's almost impossible to say the foot and the lower part of the leg. unfortunately, many of our civilians, including children, have suffered from this insidious mine. children are stepping on them, some even pick them up. by raising awareness we managed to reduce the number of such cases, but they still exist. one or 2 a week. 93 people had become victims of the so called a that's all or butterfly minds is the thought of the special minutes. reparation of those 93 people. 8 were children. one of the latest victims he is in this dorm

right now. his name is mazar. i will talk to him and go tell me the story of how it happened. was it a shall. so stay told rosie, when i was returning from the store, i met some friends and stopped to talk to them. there were all the people walk in there on the road side. when i got into the car, i stepped on a paddle mine. it wasn't visible. all the garage in the area was trampled image, see if we could build for another one says that we use any more say, do i want you to work for? i want to take up sports. if i can not have bill yet, he stopped on the man on the side of the road. there is cross snacks to eat so many people had walked past, but he was unlucky. the doctor said his like as much as they could. you can see for yourself what condition the like is in the thing is are all intact, but we still need to see how they will move and function where constantly under fire when i was on my way to the hospital now there was have a shelling shell recently fell into the courtyard. all the windows were blown out.

everything is in a white folk. it's dark on the right side of the house, the corner was completely destroyed. it's very scary. almost 4 and a half 1000 people have been killed here in done a boss by ukrainian artillery since the start of the special minutes reparation. 132 of those victims were children to right now as i speak, the shilling all for residential civilian areas here in the next continue. and as the day progresses, we might hear off more victims from on calls for f r t that net screw public. well now, according to the russian ministry of defense reports that ukrainian drones attempted to attack civilian infrastructure in russia's cross at all, cry region and the republic of abigail. now, according to the statement, the drones were taken out by electronic warfare units, also the russian, the armed forces that go live right now are,

these are rachel blevins joining us for this program here at auto international. rachel, great to see you, can you, can you bring us up to speed? what do we need to know right now? well, russia's defense ministry released a statement saying that it thwarted 2 attempts by ukraine to carry out drone attacks on russian soil on monday night. according to the statement, the attempted attacks involved unmanned aerial vehicles and they were targeting civilian infrastructure in russia, southern regions, however, russia was able to intervene before any damage was done. now this comes amid reports at an unknown drone crashed in the moscow region. you're a gas problem building those reports were confirmed by the governor of moscow and representatives for gas prop said that an investigation is ongoing and that it involves the f s. b. now meanwhile, on tuesday morning, all civilian air crossed to and from the polk of all airport in st. petersburg were briefly suspended amid reports that there were some type of unidentified flying object and that it required an investigation. now, notably,

the russian defense ministry did confirm that it carried out exercises in that region. however, they did not say whether they were investigating some type of unidentified object. notably, the suspension has been lifted and the airport is fully operational at this time will continue to follow the latest and bring the updates as they become available. or at ortiz, rachel evans, thank you. to mold over now where hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets to protest against the countries pro e u. government formed earlier this month, the life pictures right now as a residents have gathered in moldova capital about kitchen. out to raise that concerns about the governments energy policies. it's a quarter past 2, i believe in the often in the now, despite the previous prime minister resigning, they accused the new cabinet of being responsible for storing energy prices and inflation protest just demanded the country as president my son to resign. local

authorities have restricted access to the area to try to prevent more demonstrators from entering the city center. and the country protests have been going on since september of last year. the law enforcement agencies and the central african republic reveal details of their investigation into the attack on the head of the russian, the house. dmitri c. t. the official was injured in an explosive device sent to him an apostle last year. that mister c t. i suffered a serious injuries in the december attack and was evacuated to russia. the partial contained a threatening letter calling on the russians to leave africa. the police investigation found footage shop the person who sent the package, but the suspect has not yet been detained. the russian house is in office for strengthening cooperation between russia and the c a. r. earlier my colleague motor on how mommy spoke to mr. sepi, who showed his experience of being a tactful, promoting russian culture. and after, before i got notice that i have a parcel of

a to minute detail. most of his in monday with every used to be flat drive for me. so the next morning i sent my employee to recover it. she brought it to me. when i was alone and all this, i boxed it, there was indeed a flash drive. so i took it into my hand and via the wireless plug into the, into the is the have i, i notice that it was heavier than a, then it should. then suddenly message came, i thought like this, and so flesh flight than i looked at in my hand and the where they used before. but i used to been saw a bunch of bonds and, and meet russia you previously to, to negotiate peace and bring stability to the region. you feel that you will probably a person nothing to do with russian aisles. but any ideas who this guy the he

reappeared with the appeal some time ago, like in the summer. and he suddenly insisted to give me information that links this saying to him over the number of errors that x included in the plan question in egypt. trust and to encourage it. i never gotten actually. and then this attack happened. i started pursued, let us the investigation is conducted and it revealed the explosive. i was effective. it was made in a lab. not just something you can make up in a garish and the yield was comparable to the yield of 40 millimeter granite like, wow. and if a fairly effect, and the answer is we stick, which near the levers, the cia allegedly probably heard that you were going to get some information about something that they didn't want everybody to know about. and that's how they talk. yeah, i mean it's all right and then there is like an installation and we see i don't

know if you have a footage. there is a fender of a letter. my, this is a white guy, right? the mail and his thirty's. forty's. who says this package from taco, you think we're still? so we're trying to push this near colonialism practices in, in africa. i noticed for the hard for you to, to talk about. but do you see an evidence of that? i have a perception of the situation. there may be no more colonies. de facto, no more derek, dominant governance, but there is the economic dominance. right? it still happens that the african nations are tired of the arrogance of the rest were of them impose and rules of african countries, and they vote from competition vote from russia. they're welcome to china. they need this to to allow them to develop. and they see nicole pot in

russia. russia is a top diplomat, so kayla roth is set to visit the indian capital for a meeting of g 20 foreign ministers on wednesday. international cooperation and the strengthening of positions of the global south, the med rising western pressure show to be the top of the agenda. open out to our correspondent dungeon sharma, love robes with india is extremely significant in the backdrop of growing bilateral dies between the 2 countries. as western sanctions against russia have meant that by default, corporation between the 2 countries has accelerated. our relationship with russia, i think, has been extraordinarily study. it has been studied through all the double inch and in global politics. so as i said, again, you know, the opposition, perhaps it's their job to criticize, it would be nice if they do it with a little bit more information than i could issue in the us,

russian on import search to a record in january in moscow ruins of talk oil supplier to new delhi, but it's not energy. other sectors as well. for example, there's been a nearly 400 percent jump in russian merchandise and boards. now the 2 countries also aimed to continue working on facilitating trade in local currencies. now what could be discussed in the need is also approaches in cooperation of existing institutions, such as the s c, u, and bricks. this meeting is one of the biggest events ahead of the final g 20 some made in september this year. and 4th, more the government for this meeting, the focus really will be on multi lateralism need for reform and food and no g security. now the challenge for india is that these very real issues could be

overshadowed by the west and demands for india to condemn russia. something that we saw last week in the g 20 finance ministers meet in banga. lulu. it is our hope that india will use their influence with russia to support an end to this conflict. and as foreign minister j shankar has said and to the conflict according to the principles of the un charter. but in the of largely kept neutral stance on the conflict, declining to be rochelle for wage. remember, india has been seeking a solution to dialogue and diplomacy. india also consistently abstained from you and wards against moscow. diplomatic source of fear that india will continue to maintain a neutral stance or new queen. d. c. b shall be procured. since the beginning of the developments in crane, india has insisted on resolving this dispute through dialogue and diplomacy. india

is ready to contribute to any peace process. so india will have to walk in a tight diplomatic rule so that under its presidency, the foreign minister means does not go the same way. but the g 20 finance ministers meet there are say for example, the same outcome as the g 20 summit in bali in november exposed. believe that in the role at the highest level will require a diplomatic balancing act like no. although for this week and for months to gum, ah, quote, i'll try and bullying and double standards. those words from the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson and reacting to what she calls the folds to us rhetoric about china's suppose that plans to supply rushes military in ukraine may fall. while the u. s. has intensified its efforts to send weapons to one of the parties to the

conflict resulting in an endless war with peace, nowhere in sight. it has also frequently read false information about china's supply of weapons to russia, taking the opportunity to sanction chinese companies for no reason. this is outright bullying and double standards. this all comes as china has recently accused us of jeopardizing peace and stability and the high ones straight after a u. s. navy recognizance flight reasons you flew over the area. in response, washington said that the flight was conducted in accordance with international law . attentions have been high between china and the u. s. ever since the corona virus kicked off. recently, the chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman has calls for washington to stop smearing china in response to recent us claims that coven 19 was likely china's for the u. s. energy department has concluded that the coven pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak. according to a classified intelligence report recently provided to the white house and key

members of congress. the energy department made its judgment with low confidence, according to people who have read the classified report. she and she see a lovely is extremely unlikely. this is an authoritative scientific conclusion that experts from china and the world health organization reached after visiting the relevant laboratory in blue hand and holding in debt exchanges with relevant researchers. the relevant party should start playing on the lot. league theory, stop smearing china and stuff. politicizing, the issue of origin tracing the report sites, only 2 officials from the u. s. department of energy and they say they have low confidence that this comes from a lab that it was a lab league, but that hasn't stopped all. the major us mainstream media outlets from running with this story. now the report also says it's based on new intelligence, but none of the articles presented have any new evidence decides. and it seems like

this is being used currently. republicans are bringing this up and using it to call out the bible ministration and demand more hostility to china. the chinese communist party is not only a menace, but the nature of these regimes as the lights of the world. and we need to make that clear to people. the chinese communist party is evil. it's forest killed, millions and see will stop at nothing to destroy the u. s. it's time to hold this evil regime accountable. i'm glad the department of energy recognizes this reality . it's past time to make the chinese communist party pay. it is critical that ministration also begin to work immediately with our partners and allies around the world to hold the chinese communist party. accountable. iming is of course, very suspect. we see prominent cia and us intelligence officials stepping forward and calling out china for the possibility of china, giving weapons to russia. we see a wide spread demonization of china. and now we have this story about leaks,

you know, getting into the media. it's certainly interesting timing and it fits in with a full court all on anti china hysteria from u. s. officials. fact that they're going to meet next week chairman, she important to discuss this on holy winds that they have to put weapons in the ukraine to me is very disturbing because well, maybe ukraine today is can be taiwan to morrow. note that at this same time, we have united states pumping weapons on the island of taiwan into the philippines, up playing up the idea that china is a danger. certainly parallels a similar escalations that were done with ukraine. wife. we achieve the level of success we've achieved in ukraine. a big part of that has been because after russian aggression in 20142015, we honestly got off to preparing for future conflict training for the ukrainians. pre positioning of supplies, identification of sites from which we could operate,

support, sustain operations. we call that setting the theater. and we're setting the fit in japan, in the philippines, in other locations. hey, i got some cool pictures to show you right here is russia, china, or on south africa, have wrapped up that trilateral naval drills in the indian ocean. during the training dubbed mo c 2023, the set of partners worked on while integrating that tactics which included live fire exercises and while liberating civilian ships captured by pirates, naughty arabic correspondent on a shanker, was there and brings us this report. the joint trilateral naval drills of russia, china, and south africa are coming to an end in the indian ocean. having completed all the tasks which were set the mosey to maneuvers, which means smoke in one of the african languages lasted 10 days, taking place both on land and at sea. one of the most important parts of the naval stage where the live artillery drills on board of the participating ships.

soon over must library today at the trilateral international mosey to naval exercises. the admiral of the fleet of the soviet union, garasco free gate, fired a to around from a $130.00 millimeter cannon. the foreign distance was 12 kilometers. whenever i saw one alamo try to get all the ships involved in the maneuvers have certain roles . for example, a russian forget carried a con of k, a $27.00 helicopter on board. and its task according to the plan was to rescue the crew and passengers of the ship in distress. as for the technical characteristics of the helicopter, its main features is that it has a double vertical propeller which makes the helicopter faster and more maneuverable, harvey, i made what a. yeah. so it never involve a bananas, but today, flights to flight as a part of the most, it went, it went 3 national drills, many exercises took place every one of these episodes was the liberation of

a sheep from pirates where we were directly involved with transmitting coordinates . despite unprecedented western pressure on the participants of the drilled, russia and its partners conducted them at the highest level. the exercises took place in an area of the sea, in which the united states seeks to establish a security monopoly. the ministry of the defense of the people's republic of china, states that these exercises can contribute to ensuring the maritime security of the bricks, countries, and that brazil is expected to participate in the next exercises. and a commission co r t. indian ocean. what types of joining us here on the international sharing a time with us, so that, that full try that package from an mishenko bricks, members, russia, china, south africa, according to russia's foreign minister. there are roughly 20 other countries eager to join the bricks family with some people already calling the d dollarization coordination go news returns.
