supplies of the ukrainian army, as well as a point of transfer of reserves. now public rod was used by the ukrainian military to supply and france for reserves to the next crew public cities of out of char, most sla events and from a tourist. and it was supposedly one of the major preparation points for the so called a counter offensive by key of against russia, apart from dealing a powerful blow to the transport hub, ammunition depots were hit as well. now there were also reports that russia used its strategic aviation in the area, as the bombers struck significant supply routes and equipments of the crane and military, local social media posts showed plumes of smoke rising in several areas of 4 public rod. now russian defense ministry haven't yet commented on the latest events, but they have said time and again that they're only targets are the ukranian

military infrastructure. now, the ukranian authorities have reported that a plans, a fax free was destroyed in a public rod. now we're still waiting on a confirmation for that now in general, on a sunday nights and on monday morning, air alerts were heard throughout ukraine as russia continued to attack major objects of military infrastructure, lancaster of their well, let's bring you some more updates from the conflict the russian m o d said on sunday that more than 200 ukrainian trips were killed in the ukrainian health city of constantine of care located in the done yet square public. the ministry also reveal it up to $200.00 tons of you printing ammunition was destroyed in the neighboring city of from much worse. now i want to show you as well, the latest footage we have from the embattled city of art shem off skull soonest, back. moot, the most intense frontline auction is happening there currently with the russian wagner private military group leading the fight. you can really see here the scale

of destruction. in the video earlier, the wagner gripped chief said, key of force has only have a few square kilometers of this city. still under their control, r t senior correspond murat gas. the of can show us not what else is happening in the conflicts. bottled zone areas facing west doggin and dwell camouflaged stanz a d 30 howitzer. he these one of many hidden hidden the greenery, the guns of the 85th brigade. the crew are all mobilized troops from the russian region of samarra. half a year ago, they were office workers, salesman mechanics and teaches. now they are proud artillerymen. where did he refused to leave all grown up quickly. they've changed since october. they have

become much more aware. there is discipline now many felt like civilians when they came here, but now they are natural born soldiers. they are proud to be artillery. man, they say so themselves were the artillery. zeus is a veteran of numerous conflicts. he doesn't like to talk about it. he doesn't boost his was a difficult task to turn a mob of civilians into a well oiled fighting machine. she is meaningless. we've all changed. the special military operation changed you. we become more responsible. he wants a few men. they have fired cumulatively more than a 1000 shells broken and ty ukrainian attacks and to help turn the tides of local battles

with firing, done, the command comes in to shelter. count a battery, fire is common. their commander does not tolerate complacency. zeus is determined to get his boys more than a 100 of them back to their families, alive and well delinquent reply. i'm responsible for them. all of our wives have already met, and i promised myself that if i brought them here, i would take them back to the last soldier. i'll be the last to leave, but i'll bring all my soldiers and i will do my best to keep everyone safe and alive. thank god, i have not. he has had a single dad or wounded person. went on duty. artillerymen live next to their guns for days at a time, but at the moment they could be called into action and he closed firing position.

let me tell you, it is loud, the sound reverberates from the walls. but an interesting fact above the crew here is that they almost never know what it is that they're firing at. ah, some months ago, dozens of mobilized troops from samara were killed in a ukrainian rocket attack on a barracks in the cave. having just arrived to the front, these artillerymen dedicate their work to the victims of that attack, victims who were their neighbors and friends in more peaceful times. the mobilized fighters of the 85th brigade have become warriors and full, and like them, so have hundreds of thousands of others who would call to arms across russia. in

september, a vast army, which in the span of 7 months, has become a well oiled war machine. more i'd gazda of r t from logan screeching ah, the real face of ukraine's government. that's the blistering response from an indian official. after keith's ministry of defense felt the need to morph a towering column of smoke from a recent ukrainian attack on to the indian goddess mccully posing as marlin monroe . here's what the figure from new daily's information ministry had to say. recently ukraine, foreign minister was in delhi, soliciting support from india behind that factory looks the real face of ukraine government, indian goddess mark holly, has been characters on a propaganda poster. this is an assault on hindu sentiments around the world while amid backlash and perhaps 2nd thoughts the tweet show and here was later deleted the photo on the left shows clouds in the sky after saturdays had sunk by ukrainian

groans and some estoppel in crimea. the other, a caricature of a woman resembling the stunts of legendary hollywood actress moreland, monroe with the face some body of cali superimposed over a cloud of destruction. furious online reaction was swift. hello, at defense you. why did you use cali matter? why not virgin mary? her frock hinders one. forget just sane. i was genuinely surprised. see, miss responsible countries will not do this. only nazis does these kinds of things . the ukraine should not hurt sentiments of billions of indians. india has a right to be neutral. such acts will make it even more difficult to get support from india. ma cali is our goddess and must be respected. in fact, ukraine should pray to her and we'll see the miracles happening. this is very shameful and disgusting behavior by ukraine hurting the sentiments of motherland. india by insulting our goddess ma calli is not at all acceptable. ukraine is losing

its senses, they must apologize to entire india or indians supreme court, lawyer and commentator desh rotunda gum sees the mocking by the ukrainian government speaks volumes about how key a views indian indeed the global south, more widely. i believe it is not because it appears to be that lot of my part is wanting to that. and i mean on the, on the defense department of defense of your grade, it certainly speaks about that, you know, policy towards india. now we already knew that you created was already that provision that was done and i wanted to mention that that it was last 2nd part of which is

on the 1st that i do know what and what kind of football game and the other one is about a week in which they didn't believe this is the last time it happens. it also speaks one when the deputy minister of foreign affairs of ukraine was and yet i'm sure this also in which data can be boxed again, wanted that. but if you didn't. busy have to do what we actually did, the materials or some kind of a stance on the all moves. but the woman, as the speaking stand on the subject. now despite sanctions on moscow's energy supplies, the european union has found a roundabout way to keep the lights on. but the route comes at a price. that's the revelation by bloomberg, which revealed

b e. u has become increasingly dependent on petroleum products from india, which consists of russian crude. it all adds up as india bought a record amount of russian oil in april, some $2000000.00 barrels per day. know that figure makes up nearly half all new delhi total imports up the commodity on comes as the sofa, asian country has now established itself as the largest overall supplier of oil to the you. indeed, many other countries have increased their energy imports from russia have also become suppliers to europe and g 7 countries. and these western powers which impose sanctions against moscow, have increased incoming supplies from nations such as china, india, and the u. v. in this web, you can make it out to give another example, a pretty startling one. the north african state of morocco has opt. it's imports of

rushing crude. let's go through it. morocco took in 600000 borrows from russia. that was an all of 2021. that number as in sky rocketed to $3000000.00 plus borrowed in just the 1st 2 months of this year alone. that's more than 30 fold increase in russian or will imports. but there is no industrial revolution in morocco to warrant out. instead, media reports claim for about appears to be re directing the black gold to new markets where we spoke to an indian foreign policy expert who concludes sanctions up simply lead to the west buying russian oil through middleman. but at a higher price in, i mean that it's way it's actually become some more mockery of the attempt to sanction russia also. and it is a mockery of this whole concept off of sanctions that such, you know, i'm sure it's mostly more expensive, call them because european union and the g 7 countries are buying oil from india

and the i'm buying the and product as such are the i am buying the beautified and refined to refine petroleum and refine petroleum products, will obviously be more expensive than foods, petroleum, and crew to product. this such, you know, crude petroleum product as such. if they are happy in spending more money on it to, than it is their decision. and we respect that information. now this monday, jordan host and meeting of foreign ministers from ara but league nations and syria . they're there to discuss the return of damascus potentially to the block and a political settlement to the war which has ravaged the country for more than a decade. the renewed effort comes on the heels of talks 2 weeks ago in saudi arabia that failed to reach an agreement on returning syria to the alliance. today though, will be the 1st time since 2011, that syrian officials have spoken with the audibly collectively after the western

asian countries, membership was suspended. jordanian officials have called for drawing up a roadmap, laying out a step by step reconciliation to bring damascus back into the fold jordanian journalist out could tub says there's still a lot though to be hammered. odd if syria is to get it seat back at the table. since syria was removed, it has caused a major problem, especially in the middle east country like jordan, which has exports to cherokee, to lebanon, to syria itself, and to europe, or have to go through a serious, now suffering to economic problems. also a neighboring countries have had to take in millions of serial fiji. all these are problems that need to be resolved and it's time to resolve them. and i think the exit or the slow exit of the us from the middle east, as it made it possible to, to reconcile with syria. so the idea is that they want to do with gradually and conditionally. so once the syrians carry out the conditions that have been set,

then they will move to the next step and so on around supreme leader. how slum the u. s. trip presence in neighboring iraq, which is currently estimate of the $2500.00 saying even one american soldier is one to many. americans are not friends of iraq. americans are not friends with anyone and are not even loyal to the european france. even the presence of one american in the rock is too much of the remarks colors. little surprise, as many commentators say that the us invasion of iraq left a trail of destruction turned hope into the spur. and so a 1000000 killed and many more displaced today. marks the last day of our special coverage, recalling that conflict at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to

disarm iraq, to free its people. and to defend the world from gray. with the medicine and fleet with what it was exactly 20 years ago. this may the 1st that former us president george w bush spoke to american troops from the podium of a u. s. aircraft carrier, announcing the end of major combat operations in iraq. the infamous speech was titled mission accomplished. r t. steve sweeney, takes an extended,

looked at how exactly the u. s. lead operation aimed at bringing about our rocky freedom field. on the 1st of may, 2003. george w bush gave his speech on pull the u. s. s warship, abraham lincoln declaring victory and an end to the war in iraq. major combat operations and iraq have ended in the battle of iraq. the united states and our allies have prevailed. a banner was draped on the ship boldly, declaring mission accomplished, but was it according to the iraq body count project, nearly 11000 civilians were killed in the 1st few months of the wall by 2023 and recorded more than 200000 fatalities with others putting the test, so as high as 1000000 or more less than a month off to push his speech,

the iraqi army was disbanded with thousands of soldiers left angry and disgruntled at u. s. occupying forces, the insurgents, he continued, but u. s. official seemed to down play it scale, saying the situation was no worse than crime. they will seen him major u. s. cities. there has not been a major health crisis, but there is not a humanitarian crisis in the country. all of the non governmental experts have gone in have, have indicated that that's the case. i remember that if washington d. c with the size of baghdad, we would be having something like $215.00 murders a month. and, and it, it is there, there's going to be violence in a big city is 5 and a half 1000000 people. but british military official with estimated they were between 40 to 50000 insurgent fighters in the country, while iraqi intelligence kind there was many as 200000 insurgents. larger than the u. s. military presence. the country with plunged into chaos with bomb attacks

targeting un officials and religious minorities. u. s. troops launched a major operation in fallujah with at lee. i on the civilians killed according to the red cross, $300.00 of them, women and children, the $88.00 his he also accused us forces of using white phosphorus, while the devastating effects of depleted uranium emissions are still being felt today by locals. are the victims included children, women, and men who were buried in different places? the digger was ceaselessly working in all the areas behind me to bury the victims, while other people were setting the graves of annual minded. yet i came here to day to visit my brother and water in the cemetery, which holds the grays of tomatoes, who were killed by the us occupation since 2006. they were all playing with a bull near the mosque when an explosion happened, th before thousands of iraqis were rounded up and tortured, and where images of inmates being electrocuted and sexually humiliated. shot the

world machen lamar, they would take us 2 different rooms in one room. you would be beaten in another room, they were snakes in a 3rd room, they were animals, then they would give a cup of coffee. but after you finish the coffee, everything would start again. that's what their investigation was like. they made up charges, they had nothing to do with reality. at 1st i thought i was the only person in this situation, but there were thousands of people who were accused of terrorism like that. saddam hussein with caught an executed and elections held in january 2005, although many say the polak legitimacy mod by low turn out among city muslims and deadly attacks on polling stations. 2006 or the beginning of 2 years of civil war. and the highest esto, since the invasion began amid fears, iraq could collapse altogether. the growing militia activities have led season displacement on a daily basis, a breeding and increase sen service on to reuters journalists, or among those killed in a helicopter attack,

which only came to light off to the footage was published by wiki lakes. i now let me know when you get what you i'm all up to traffic to sixty's. i'm on higher end with us. war in iraq became more costly and unpopular among us citizens. the new president promised to end military operations in the country. i've chosen a timeline that will remove our combat brigades over the next 18 months. so let me say this as plainly as i can. by august 31st, 2010. our combat mission in iraq will end. the law of combat troops left in december 2011, ending a campaign that cost the lives of more than $4000.00 us soldiers. but the story

didn't end there. is slamming state a militant jihad, his group emerged in the chaos in 2014. quickly sweeping across the country with a medal to rise in east lennox state made the was that the was initiate to back in 2003

dark. the ironic a battle of iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on september. the 11th 2001 and still goes on before long. you as truthful back on the ground, i thought can if i was defeated, but it's a huge cost. the civilians from coalition air strikes to the battle of mosul, where thousands were killed as the city was flattened. that unless death was seeks, people had one daughter who was marched. we'll lived in that house after the as tracks. i just couldn't leave there anymore. my house is entirely destroyed. my daughter died in it from the chicago lacy. our main problem now is clearing the areas,

the bodies scattered everywhere, m. o. of more than 60000 civilians died in the next age of the conflict. the iraq war was justified by the alleged presence of w. m. d's, despite repeated warnings from inspectors and intelligent services to the country. in january, 2004, the head of the iraq survey group charge we finding the weapons resigned or for admitting failure. now 20 is off to george bush claim victory. u. s. troops remain in the country, and iraq is still fighting a nicely insurgency. while the countries natural resources continue to be plundered . the war, as steve outlined was predicated on what turned out to be the false promises of liberation and lead to decades of turmoil. you can tell of into our special project war of terror, exposing the u. s. ro, devastating consequences for the oil rich country and r t dot com and right across our social media channels.
