the crew are all mobilized troops from the russian region of samara half a year ago. they were office workers, salesman mechanics, and teachers. now they are proud, artillerymen already refused to leave all grown up quickly. they've changed since october. they've 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 artilleryman. they say so themselves where the artillery zeus is a veteran of numerous conflicts. he doesn't like to talk about it. he doesn't boost . he's was a difficult task to turn a mob of civilians into a well oiled fighting machine. she's meaningless. we've all changed. the special military operation changed you. we become more responsible. he wants her feel 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. the commander does not tolerate complain. cincy zeus is determined to get his boys more than a 100 of them back to their families, alive and well delinquent. rec, 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 when on duty. artillerymen live next to their guns for days at a time. at the moment they could be called into action, an enclosed 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. with some months ago, dozens of mobilized troops from samara were killed in the ukrainian rockets 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 in 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 ot, from la ganske region. ah, the real face of ukraine's government, that was the blistering response from an indian official. after keith's ministry of the fence felt the need to morph a taryn column of smoke from a recent ukrainian attack into the indian goddess mccully while posing as a famous actress. here's what the figure from new dollies information ministry had to say. recently ukraine, foreign minister was in deli 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. amid backlash and perhaps 2nd thoughts the tweet show and here was later deleted the photo on the left shoes. clouds in the sky after sundays, attacked by ukrainian drones in service. toppling crimea, the other, a caricature of a woman resembling the stunts of legendary hollywood actress merlin monro with the face and body of cali, superimposed over at clyde of destruction. furious online reaction was swift. hello, at defense, she. why did you use kelly 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 . 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. mock halley 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 cali is not at all acceptable. ukraine is losing its senses. they must apologize to entire india all among the reaction we got to this was from indian supreme court lawyer on commentators desh written in a gum, who sees the mocking by the ukranian government speaks volumes about how key a views india on the global south more widely i believe is not going to be that lot of mind and part of wanting to. busy and i mean on the defense department of defense of your grade, it certainly speaks about that, you know, policy towards india now be on already knew that you created was already that was

provision that was done and i want to get in there last 2nd. busy busy which is on with this with the 1st that i. busy know what involvement of and i'm just saying the football game or what is a lot of the key which begins believe this is the last time it is up and it also speaks one year when the deputy minister. busy of foreign affairs of your grade was in and yeah, i'm sure this also speaks in which data can be boxed in again one. busy but if you didn't. busy have the to do, but we action of these things are the new shows that we will probably be expecting some kind of a stan from india all moves. but norman, as well as speaking,

stand on the subject 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. thus the revelation by bloomberg, which revealed the 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 all in april, some $2000000.00 barrels per day. that figure makes up nearly half of new delhi. so total importance of the commodity on comes out this site, asian country has knowledge published itself as the largest overall supplier of oil to the e u. date, many other countries al, increase their energy imports from rush, have also become suppliers to europe and g 7 countries. so those western powers which impose sanctions against moscow have increased incoming supplies from nations

such as these china, india, the united arb ambridge to name, but a few to give another example, a pretty startling one. the north african state of morocco has up. it's in ports of russian crude. let's go through it because morocco took in 600000 barrels from russia in all of 2021. but that numbers sky rocketed to $3000000.00 plus borrows and just the 1st 2 months of this year alone, that's more than a 30 full increase in russian oil imports. so there's no by the way, industrial revolution and morocco to warrant that right now. instead, media reports tambra more expensive, call them because you don't be in union. and her g 7 countries are buying oil from india and been buying the the end product as such on the up i am buying the beauty 5 and be find all less such. so anyway, 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 them, it is their decision. and we respect that incision this monday. jordan is hosting a meeting of foreign ministers from arbor league nations on syria. they're there to discuss the return of damascus to the block on a political settlement to the war that has ravaged the country for more than a decade. the renewed effort comes on the heels of talked 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 serene officials have spoken with the arab league collectively. after the western asian countries membership will assist, this is justine and officials have called for drawing up a road map, laying out a step by step reconciliation to bring damascus back into the fold jordanian journalist. now would, could believe real progress couldn't be made today, but there are obstacles since syria was removed, it has caused a major problem,

especially in the middle east country like jordan, which has exports to turkey, to lebanon, to syria itself. and to europe, all have to go through a series as now suffering economic problems. also, a neighboring countries have had to take in millions of sooner. 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 and carry out the conditions that have been set, then they will move to the next step and so on. around the supreme leader. how slum the u. s. trip presence in neighboring iraq, which is currently estimated at $2500.00 saying even one american soldier there 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 iraq is too much. well, the remarks come as little surprise as iraqis themselves say the u. s. invasion left a trail of destruction turned hope into the spirit and saw a 1000000 people on many more displaced the 1000000 killed. today marks the last day of their special coverage recording 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 great with
