a common practice and done as car cove. we occupy civilian houses, next house is that people are still living in that way. if they bomb and kill civilian, they bring in the news crew and they say, look at this house, they blew up and they killed the civilians. but what the camera doesn't show used in the left and to the right is a house, is a field with military. you know, of course i haven't seen seen this in person. thank god. but i know that a lot of captured russian soldiers, they'll take a cut, the genitalia with a knife and everything and cut them, cut their stomachs open with their throats, cut their heads off and stuff like this, you know, really horrible, horrible stuff, you know, was this the work of nationalist and she was all just yeah, just extremist in different organizations as all you know, compress with them. yeah. they were foreigners. yeah. did any of them take part with any of these? god, yeah, they told you earlier,

i also all fell in love in war. you know, it is what it is, spiers exist, you know, and i'm a spar and mission mission accomplished. also goes with yes, awesome. more at gas d m r t, from moscow. this week rush, i was shocked by an attack committed by ukraine based terrorist group in the border region of brianna. the incident left you people dead and wounded an 11 year old boy who has been labeled the hero. he saved cheer young girls from enemy fire despite all righty. having been wounded himself, the child named theodore, is now recovering in a hospital after doctors removed a bullet from his back. i realized that i need to act at that moment, the shooting started, the car stopped, we got out and we were told to run behind the houses. when we got there,

i started taking off my coat and noticed the hole with blood seeping through. i realized i'd been shot, i told the girls that we'll go through the forest. we went there and stumbled upon a tractor. this is video from the hospital, as theodore's mother saw her son for the 1st time after he was wounded. the doctors managed to safely remove the bullet and the child is recovering. the local governor visited the boy as well. a warning him, a metal for valor, and courage feared, are his sister and mother say the boy was very calm, despite the extreme situation. most likable for only a flock. when i saw him, he was very calm. i was hysterical, but he called me down. i lifted the wound, it turns out he was wounded in the back. he said that the attack has told them to run into the forest. he took the girls and they ran, he did well, he held up well, didn't cry and didn't get confused. not every adult would do that. look at them from noticed. i'm very grateful that i have such

a courageous son. that day he went to school as usual, a good friend of mine called and said that florida had been wounded. i was hysterical. we were not allowed here. i only got to see my son in a day. the mother of one of the girls, whom feared, were helped to safety during the attack, says she will be forever grateful to the child is near lane. i am immensely grateful to him. i will be all my life. my daughter is under stress. she doesn't sleep at night, she refuses to go home. when al, staying with friends, she categorically said, i don't want to go on this road. i don't want to remember what happened. i don't know how to continue. what should i do? my child is just stresses. let's examine thursday's attack. more closely, russian authority it say a group of ukrainians ambush civilian vehicles, entered a border village and planted land mines and rushes bring owls greeted the following footage was released by rushes federal security service showing the scene right

after the deadly incident. and a warning you may find some of these images disturbing. it shows the car, riddled with bullets, several explosive devices were found after a search of the area, the russian defense ministry has said the majority of the weapons used in the attack were supplied to crane from nato countries. raising a question of whether members of the western alliance could be regarded as a sponsor of terrorism. russian authority say the militants who conducted the attack were pushed back into crania territory and eliminated by intense artillery fire. the saba tour squad was led by dennis mccaden, a russian national, who turned on his own country and now fights for ukraine. he is a notorious mune aussie with radical connections across europe, and is believed to have been living in kiev for the past 5 years. despite ukrainian officials denying any involvement and a terrorist attack, mccaden himself has admitted that the operation was coordinated with the ukrainian

military. yes, of course, this action was agreed. otherwise, it couldn't have happened. had you imagine that i pass through the dark of night that the remind bridge is there a cameras heat seeking drones there? hidden open observation points. if i did not coordinate it with any one in ukraine's military, i think we would simply be destroyed. ukrainian terrorist attack and russia's pronounced region, they cross the border and opened fire on civilians with neo nazis once again leading the charge, one of whom was the notorious russian national. denise. nikita founder of the treacherous russian volunteer corps, the tube in one of the russian, val into cool to become a legal unit. i had to move mountains. i touched the hands of hull that top military breast in this country. politicians too, and their historic advisors and the deputy heads of the security services of ukraine, new and so on and so forth. so i personally talked to scot's of people before, worley moved the mountain soon. he came in organized his extremist battalion

alongside a clothing brand of like political orientation, white racks, appealing to racist football hooligans. and the far right m. m. a seen the brand features a wide array of symbols, loved by fascists, the black sun, iron cross, and the number 88. according to vice news nikita declared, this new clothing line would become the neo nazi nike in her interview and getting his outline, his ambitious vision for white wrecks coordinate and all encompassing lifestyle brand. a sort of nike for nazis. that promotion old ugly ideologies, something strong, healthy and aspirational. in recent years, the white wrecks logo includes a helmet work and circled by a black sun and occult symbol that's been adopted by neo nazis. the logo has become an increasingly common site in european james fi clubs and football terraces. but in kittens not just trying to help nazi enthusiasts play dress up. know he's created a means of communication between members of the ultra right wing,

free from the scrutiny of the mentally hell. see part of the population? you can't see any swastikas or roots. these should be clothes that people are comfortable wearing around town so that they can recognize each other terrorizing civilians alongside nikita in was the militant yoga master, kill rather lansky, search him up on google and you might run into his seemingly harmless invitation to yoga classes. but a quick visit to his instagram, we'll leave you without any doubt that he is just one more neo nazi. that's not although there was yet another fascist among them. oswald, lemme, i wanted criminal in russia. these are the people that key of seems to think are fighting for freedom against the so called putin regime. today, the russian federation is an entity involving a large number of, into ethnic, into religious, socio political and other conflicts. these are the people who have fighting against the putin regime and his supporters with weapons in their hands. perhaps the russians are starting to wake up realizing things and taking some specific measures

. and unfortunately, that's probably how the western media is going to spin things as well. no mention of the actual neo nazis leading campaigns of abuse against civilians just closed eyes and cupboard ears. meanwhile, western mainstream media outlets are waking up she the reality on the ground after having previously shrugged off the issue of rising new naziism in ukraine. the terrors hack appears to have suddenly opened their eyes to see there's truth to moscow stance on the conflict. the russian volunteer cool, allied by figure, well known to him and those who follow the transnational fall right, dennis capuchin. now the anti defamation league says dennis capuchin, as a russia neo nazi who live in germany for many years has train young members of the far right national democratic party of germany and others. he also has ties to the as all those in the as a brigades, which is the ukrainian extremis fall right group as well. so when production goes

policy and says he tech was carried up by neo nazis. there's an element of truth that stephen it legal in media analysts, lionel says it's fascinating how the western media was long, ignoring moscow's alarms about neo naziism and ukraine, but suddenly focused on the issue after the terror attack. this is amazing to me. i have been hearing about this and we have been hearing about in terms of as of a tell you right, sector, neo nazi since the beginning. but here in or in the west? it it, it fell on deaf ears. nobody acknowledged it. it was a conspiracy theory. now, all of a sudden they're saying where you can, maybe there's something to which after everybody has been told, you're crazy. we've been gas lighted. you're making this up. you're that you're, you're a potent apologist. you're some kind of a lunatic. then all of a sudden, as though nothing happened, they ring the bell. everybody says, you know what,

maybe there is something to that. what changed? what was the piece of evidence that changed everybody's sense of awareness? it's fascinating. ah, the 2nd day of a major annual event and chinese politics, the so called to sessions is gathering pace. a raft of reforms and government appointments are being announced during the event in a speech, the countries outgoing premier focus on national integration between beijing and the island of taiwan. we heard from a correspondent from c g t n, who says it improved environmental policies are to be a priority of the country's political course. one of the most important highlights, of course, it's china's new g p target. this year's which it's set around 5 percent and the premier also sets on other economic indicators. goals such as inflation target and consumer price target at around 3 percent. china will also expand as defense budget

to 7.2 percent of which marks a slight increase over growth compared to the previous year. and the report also set the tone for some policy to decision directions for many areas. for example, when it comes to a fit command for in monetary policy, it said that the country is going to implement more prudent monitor policy in a targeted way and will keep of the are in the exchange rate more stable and also put recovery and expansion of consumption high on it's the agenda. the report also outlined the countries other ambitions to make the people as livelihood better, including to make the environment greener and cleaner, which means and more policies supporting the green of element or a to be implemented. also this week for crisis of

multilateralism that was a key point of indian prime minister modi's speech at the g. 20 summit. helman india, with foreign ministers from the world's largest economies. he said the global powers must take responsibility for international upheaval. the directly affects developing countries the most or economy that might be liberalism, eden crisis. good. that's really the love to you for i'm on. so dr. glenmarie g, brenda, me, data zone and ball. clearly sol, bag global going on had face. this is rob india did when do presidency, has tried to do a voice through the global south, low, rural,

and play global literacy with our lives. i mean go those mo epa. thereby, it's, this isn't russia's foreign minister survey lab. rob was among the world's top diplomats attending the event. he is agree with the indian leader that it is very important to promote a multi polar world and how developing countries la rob also issued some scathing criticism of western powers, accusing them. i'm trying to maintain their historical ha, germany at any cost or the sculpture, the sculpture. the west is aware that the current approach has reached an impasse with your school. they say that that is necessary to inflict a strategic defeat of russia. and that is an existential problem for them. they are attempting to preserve their head, your money in the international arena. but developing countries see and understand all this perfectly. the big new as the day really is that there was no meeting of

minds of yorba bowers and there was no consensus, no joined community could be adopted. now india, of course has released a chair summary and outcome documentary on the foreign ministers meet in new delhi . i'll talk russian diplomat, lovegrove held a press conference. in fact, he blamed the west for not being able to come out with that joint statement of that was expected dot net as far as you green is concerned. that really was the something you're walking. all the conversations and that's where the global leaders will really divided a. but apart from that, dave is one point where there was some sort of consensus as mentioned by level there, which is multi lateralism c m t m agreement has been reached and all of the issues that were on the g 20 agenda. this includes seeking true multilateralism and strengthening the position of developing countries. in particular,

it was agreed that the african union will be a full member of the g 20, as the e. u has been for several years just now. multilateralism was one of the top agenda for prime ministers in moore, the government to show leadership on, in fact a box that they will run all the things on the agenda as well. of course food and security crisis being one of the important agenda. remember this event, the g 20 foreign ministers meet was one of the biggest events before as the, the final summit, which will take place in september this year. and the spring was a pre call sort of thoughts to what could happen in september. same lines on what we saw happen in bali last year, but of course, as i understand, the indian side sees that it when i try and continue to be the problem solver, as it sees itself to be a former top us government advisor has praised the by an administration for confronting russia and ukraine without sending

any regular american troops into the fight. the former a to then vice president, my pen, said russia is a strategic adversary of the us. he explained that having ukrainian troops fight instead of american ones. we've washington to focus on china as its primary adversary, which you could do peter strategic, an adversary not using us troops. you're at the acme of factionalism because let in ukraine defeat, that it takes an up and takes a strategic adversary off the table. then we can focus where we should be focusing against our primary adversary, which is china. this time, this comes as an anonymous source from the us state department told the new york times that any crane piece plans recently put forward by china are just a distraction. the source said washington's true goal is not to restore peace in ukraine, but rather to defeat russia. president biden,

and his aid say their goal for now is to keep giving ukraine military aid to repel russia and take back ukrainian territory. and that any piece talks an idea that china and a few other nations are pushing or a distraction to help mister putin tried to solidify his games and continue his assaults in ukraine to go further in depth on this. let's cross live now to former us marine and your political analysts, brian berlin, mac. brian is great to have you on the program today. now a former top us advisor, so this ok for the u. s. to use ukranian troops instead of american ones, to fight against roche, russia, as a quote strategic adversary. what do you make of that statement? it's very obviously an admission that this is a proxy war just as russia has said. all along. the reason for waging this proxy war is to and their own words remove a strategic adversary off the board so that they could focus on removing their main

strategic adversary. china from off the board. it, it is a illustration of how everything about us foreign policy is in the pursuit of gemini and all of this talk about preserving, protecting ukrainian sovereignty. this is all a smoke sprain, the pursuit of jimmy. ready hides behind, right, especially when you have those us politicians claiming that they care about the people on the ground and then now admitting that that's not necessarily the case. now speaking of where china fits into all of this, that former senior official said that china is the united states primary adversary . but at the same time, the u. s. economy largely depends on china for me and you factoring and trade. so what do you think about the current state of us relations with china? and could you see those tensions increasing even more in the future? they absolutely will continue to increase these tensions between the us and china.

but us policy toward china is rooted in delusion. it's rooted in the delusion that the united states with one 4th the population of china, is small and shrinking industrial base relative to china's that somehow it can and should maintain the gemini, not, not only in the region where the u. s. resides on the map, but also all across the whole of asia where china is located when your foreign policy is based primarily on delusion, everything bill on top of it, the parts further and further from reality. so it really is just a corner us this thing itself into geopolitically. yeah, that really does seem to be the case now when it comes, it is ongoing push for control. we know that the u. s. certainly has a lot of control when it comes to do training and government and what they do. media reports have said that the u. s. has been pushing ukraine to not engage in peace talks with russia, despite calls from other world powers,

such as china and india to negotiate for an end to the conflict. what exactly do you think is going on with that, and why do you think that the u. s. is so against piece talks here, but it goes back to something you said. so just earlier, this is, this is a proxy bore. the united states is waging a proxy war against the russia, and it's using ukrainian blood, blood and treasure, and expanding ukrainian infrastructure and industry on the united states is not paying the price for this war. and as long as they have no price to pay, no consequence, but they will continue and we can see how indifference they are because of their reluctance. when courage can to enter into negotiations, they are entirely indifferent to the fates of your crime. i would say they're more indifferent than they even claim russia is, you know, is interesting there because speaking of the price that is being paid. i mean, yes,

american troops aren't necessarily being deployed to ukraine. but at the same time, the u. s. is paying when it comes to military aid, when it comes to all of the money that they're giving to crane, improving a $113000000000.20 alone. so given that the u. s. is bank rolling these efforts and promising new weapons and even looking at at 16 fighter jets for ukraine? is that a message to keep saying that they're going to continue at this no matter what? as long as that aid keeps coming in from the us? well, but that's difficult to tell because there are obvious limits to us military power, whether it's waging a war of aggression itself or waging war by proxy. i think the united. ready states has reached its limits in terms of what it can core into praying. and i, i believe a lot of the talk about you cher, support for you praying is, is more or less

a blog because when you actually add everything that they're pledging. and just assuming that they could somehow fulfill the budget, it still is not enough to change the title. what is happening on ground. so this is what the u. s. we saw the us doing enough, ganeth them, they realize they had painted themselves into a corner and they, they stubbornly held on. because when we talk about all of the money being paid for weapons in your brain, it not disappearing into a black hole. going into the u. s. arms industry as long as it's profitable, they will try to perpetuate it for long and often. yeah, and there certainly are people that are profiting off of this one. now, there are critics who argue that the current u. s. foreign policy towards russia is based on an outdated cold war mentality and fails to take into account the current geopolitical landscape. do you think the u. s. should reevaluate its foreign policy and do you think that there's any.
