9:00 pm
me, oh, ukrainian was talking to ker minimal. moscow is pooled and attend to the fascination of vladimir, who's the russian president with north inside his residence during the drone strike, which was were held by electronic defenses. who can schedule meetings on change according to both months. on this kid denies responsibility for the attack, the criminal st. russia retains the rise to retaliate at any time and see who's very welcome. this is the international with the latest news updates good to have a company of the kremlin, save ukraine, loan strows trying from the moscow residence of president putin. in the early hours
9:01 pm
of wednesday, russian official say to dwellings with downs why electronic ed defense is inside the criminal walls with no casualties or damage on the grounds. the video apparently shows one of the drones exploding was above the senate building, which houses plugged in office. he was not inside the building during the attack moscow. his label that a terrorist act and an attempted assassination of the russian president, the criminal added that russia reserve the right to take with talia tore measures where and when it sees fit. however, ukrainian officials of play, they know nothing about the attack and deny any responsibility. let them, as lensky has said, that ukraine doesn't target putin. no russia, but he's waging a defensive war. he's all senior will correspondence more garcia, reporting from the embattled guns with public while things on the frontline are as tense as can be, as we speak hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of competed soldiers, troops. i've gathered across the front line, almost
9:02 pm
a 1000 kilometers. we're talking about an immense amount of firepower, thousands again and thousands of tags of artillery pieces of various various aerial assets of jets helicopter station on both sides, ukraine that no secret that despite the morling its air force has received a, has received much more support from the west and we're talking here about old soviet helicopters and make 29 jets for poland. and other countries certainly thinks he already pause for the storm. that is about to descend with ukraine's counter offensive. it will be an incredibly bloody affair. we've, you know, we've spoken and we've heard from various officials, for example, the head of p. m t wagner. the private military company has said that he believes that you had in counterfeits of his already begun. yes. ship. i believe that the ukranian armies offensive has already, in fact, begun me with seeing the most intense activity from enemy aircraft on the perimeter
9:03 pm
and inside our front. even though at the same time while we are in control of our front insights. unfortunately, the situation on the perimeter doesn't look great even will. i won't comment on how secure or flanks are out of politeness enough. the enemy has also become more active beyond the historical borders of ukraine in the russian federation, where we can see the situation in various areas, trains, drones, and surround them. i believe that all this has already started and things will end to the active phase in the near future. in a matter of days, perhaps, whether you could do, you couldn't, government has demonstrated that these people are desperate. it has say, you know, he, it has struck previously at russian cities across the board and said, look, we can strike into russia. never mind that, that a shock at civilian neighbourhood sloan stones at electrical substations, leaving military targets untouched, causing a year inconvenienced at to 1000, but also killing and killing civilians. dozens and dozens of civilians injuring
9:04 pm
hundreds across the border in russia and various villages. they're the countryside. we've also seen the, the terror attacks against russian journalists and activists. for example, the murder of 2 prominent jennison brush itself, one in the car bombing, one in a cafe bombing just recently in st. petersburg. we were there in kept sun, we're an american supplier. i must miss how short the hotel we were staying and all to get it. an activist that a form ukrainian parliamentary, who was also staying at the hotel. no lou soldiers around us. but again, after every incident that they, they eat flies around the world that's headlines around the world and you pay attention to it. sponsors look, we're, we're taking action. we've done this, we've done, we've done that. so certainly this will be used domestically, especially by ukraine. but again, there's a huge risk of, of escalation. but again, president zalinski are now on a tune in finland, planning to travel,
9:05 pm
perhaps the gemini, or somewhere else in europe next, has come out and said that the counter offensive is about to begin. and he hopes the game by it. why am i sure that we will get jets? because sooner we will take offense affections after that, i am sure there will give us planes. i would like it to be the other way around, but it is what it is. as i said, the, the history of this conflict since day one has been escalation, often escalation, we heard that 1st, you know, various western nations native states, reluctant to said the artillery pieces to ukraine will leave the late so that resistance crumble, goal was crushed by other members of, of nasal than they sent tags than they said jets. now they're planning on sending f 16, a fighter bombers from the, from the united states. it is an incredibly dangerous times over the past year. it has only gotten much more dangerous investigative journalist alex rubinstein. he
9:06 pm
published an article on ukraine's joins trunks against rochester. the date before the attack on the kremlin told us that key evidence of his thoughts going to terrorist tactics because his failing to win the conflict on the battlefield. well, even besides the article that i published, i tweeted it yesterday. ah, noting the increase in not just a tax by drawn strapped with sometimes western made c for explosives, but also the car bombing of daria do. geena the remote destination ah, in st. petersburg, at a public event. these are the kinds of tactics that ukraine is resorting to because they're not winning in a conventional sense of, of conventional warfare. i'm so they're resorting to terrorism, of course, in washington. this is called merely hybrid warfare, but it shows, ah, the desperation of the ukrainian government. um,
9:07 pm
and i think that as the alleged spring offensive is um, what will flounder. we're going to see an even more of these kinds of attempted assassinations and god bless and terrorist acts. washington has washed his hands at the drone attack on the kremlin. as u. s. officials came, they don't know what really happens. as america, stepping off his military support for ukraine, despite the risk of a big conflict with russia, he has the latest statements on that from the white house spokesperson. you've been very clear. i mean, we just were about to announce another another critical security assistance to, to ukraine. i think that shows our commitment, and we have been very clear that we will support ukraine as they defend their country against russia's invasion. they will and that will continue, that will not stop. and again, we're, we're announcing a security as this is i think that shows how,
9:08 pm
how much we are committed to them fighting for their freedom, fighting, recreating, and people fighting for their democracy. and so we've been very clear in not just security assistance in humanitarian aid and economic aid, and that will continue from here. well, we've heard in addition to what we just heard there from the white house press secretary in the white house spokesperson. we've also heard from antony blanket the u. s. secretary of state and, well, he did not indicate and said the united states had no prior knowledge of this attack and he certainly did not indicate the united states with endorsing the action. he gave a kind of bland statement that didn't seem to really come down this very dangerous escalation. here's what we heard from anthony blanca, as i said. and as we said, when it comes to ukraine, which is under daily assault. and not just, it's incredibly courageous military forces, but it's citizens, it's men, women and children being assaulted daily basis by this russian aggression being
9:09 pm
bombed out of their homes, their apartments and their streets. children killed, families torn apart. well, we leave it to ukraine to decide how it's going to defend itself and how it's going to try to get back the territory. now, united states is already supplied billions and billions of dollars worth of weapons and others support to the government. and throughout the process, the united states, putting more and more military aid, more and more deadly weapon war and more dangerous missiles into russia has repeatedly pointed out that it appeared the united states is enabling the government to attack russia and to attack russia territory. and we've heard numerous times us official, that is not the case if they are not enabling or encouraging your brand with russian territory. you're some of the dialogue around this issue we heard in prior
9:10 pm
months. we have not provided ukraine with weapons that is to use inside of russia. we've been very clear that these are defensive supplies. we have neither encouraged nor enabled the ukrainians to strike inside of russia. i can say definitively that the notion of the us providing intelligence or information to the ukrainians to target locations inside russia is nonsense. we are not at war with russia, nor do we seek war with russia. now the world is very aware of what just took place and the recent attack. so this can be pointed to as yet another example of the words of us leaders not matching their actions german attorney, and i know professor andre thomas, how's unsafe here? just trying to stir up a media storm with such attacks and with a lack of success on the front lines. touch incident, such a text,
9:11 pm
i call them terrorist attacks. we'll call them as symmetric warfare attacks that are designed to, to make headlines, to, to show that so that the enemy is not able to 40 protect its territory and possibly its citizens. we will see more and more what is not modern days as symmetric warfare. all in the old days, gorilla or just terrorism. and this is naturally so because the regular forces in the ukraine are clearly losing out, are clearly considerably weakened and will soon be on the retreat. so i'm, i'm not too concerned with the continual re supplies. i'm more concerned that as the ukranian regular forces will begin to retreat. and as this becomes obvious, there will be a very strong temptation to nature to intervene direct with,
9:12 pm
with men on the ground, with divisions. and that would lead us into a big european wall military expert, i guess i alexander stepan, also throws youth in the attack a very similar to those manufactured by ukraine's defense industry. this law is nice. it is possible that these drones were assembled and nearby territories, including the moscow region. but on the other hand, the video shows that it was a fairly large device with the wing span of about 2.5 to 3 meters. it is possible that they were the very kamikaze attack drones that the ukrainian defense industry, the main manufacture of the military industrial complex of ukraine, announced at the end of last year. it is quite possible that these drones could cross most of the territory of the russian federation due to the fact that today it is difficult for almost all air defense systems to detect drones. they fly at very low altitudes and can move along preset coordinates without emitting any radiation
9:13 pm
. they're made as inconspicuous as possible to avoid interception and radar. therefore, there may be different possibilities. the drones could have been delivered in some way to a nearby territory. this is the easiest option for maximum effect of use as well as assembly. but the question is, how were the explosives that were placed in the drones deliver? there could be a similar scheme to the one used in crimea attack where explosives were delivered through other states. and it is quite possible that the components for these drones were brought on to the territory of the russian federation in other ways. in other developments, russian security services they, they have apprehended suspected members of a pro ukrainian terrorist cell. the group was reported a planning to carry out the attacks on crimean officials unties. ecos don love takes his through the case and his report contains into these with suspects who are currently under investigation by russia. this ukrainian patriot victor didn't want
9:14 pm
his sons to become cannon fodder on the front. so he offered himself instead, except he saw himself as more of a gorilla fighter. and where he lived was so convenient. russian crimea, which cave is obsessing about, getting back. so victor reached out to ukraine's intelligence and swore his allegiance. quizlet hood as a certain little roman mash corvettes recruited me in june 2022. i came to poland by agreement with him. that's where the recruitment took place. my pseudonym is socrates, my sons a freeing from ukrainian mobilization. this factor became a catalyst for the fact that i went to cooperate with the intelligence service of ukraine. it turns out that it was only me who wanted to defend ukraine. oh indeed, victors recruiter was know nobody here. hays sharing the table with none other than
9:15 pm
vladimir zalinski. i am on my spirits is also a member of the most intimate circle of this man carol beaudin of ukraine's defense intelligence head, who ma school calls the mastermind behind the blowing up of the crimean bridge and a number of terrorist attacks in russia. well, his instructions were clear resolution before the un. my task regarding the agent network was to find people willing to cooperate with ukrainian intelligence and ukrainian special services. finding the right men for the job wasn't hard. a fruit, there's not many things. money can't buy like a beard. mister water in december 2022. my main job was coming to an end. and since i needed money, i needed a job. i turned to victor, put volley for work. at the end of december, victor asked me to drive up to his house. i arrived, we went into the garage there, he offered me to cooperate with him and with the special services of ukraine. he
9:16 pm
said he was corporate and with a good friend of carol baton. of the head of ukrainian intelligence in total victor, the ringleader and rolled 5 men. his network of agents was complete and it was time to put all these people to use. well, the state of ukraine explicitly ordered attacks on civilian officials from your search. my task was despite the mayor of yalta yanine at path length o, the head of the crimean parliament vladimir constantine of and the governor of crimea soj auction of, they wanted to blow him up. my i understood when i was asked if i could press the button, they want to destroy pavel anchors. well, the headless was made up of 3 targets. the governor of crimea, the head of the local parliament. and the mayor of y'all to the town where victor lives, russian operatives discovered, ready to use i. e d's, in every suspects,
9:17 pm
apartment, they searched, apparently meant for the mayor of yalta. ukraine's agents planned to rent a flat in her apartment building to get access to the parking lot and plant a car bomb. so michelin gave him before sending parcels. i was assigned the task of spying upon the 3 crimean officials to monitor how they move, where they live. i needed to gather all possible data. they wanted to eliminate them. this scheme revealed by the detained suspects, was strikingly familiar to russia's counter terrorism offices. in fact, it was the one that once worked out for key of in the assassination of gary, a dog in the last august journalist and daughter of philosopher alexander duncan. the explosive material used for the i. e. d. 's wasn't random. it was military grade, stuff made in the u. k. the same material and identical parts were discovered on the peninsula. this february, when a railway line was blown up, judging by everything that happened on the railway line in crimea, in february,
9:18 pm
i'm 100 percent. sure. it was a terrorist attack. i understand that it was the parcel that blew up the railway. then clearly the i e. d. 's weren't made in crimea. so how did they get there? well, some of the explosives and detonate as were hidden in electric stove tops and that inevitably caught the attention of investigators. they managed to track the heat as all the way back and well the trail of breadcrumbs took them to bulgaria. and now bear with me in february to unsuspecting business women in st. petersburg. russia were contacted by marina, a ukrainian, and for printer in capital. sophia, she was manufacturing wedding dresses, and the russians owned a wedding dress shop. this is how she was sending her produce from sophia to georgia. there it crossed the border into russia and well then either from merely topple or from logic of caused by regular shipping companies. the cargo which
9:19 pm
included the dresses and the explosives hidden in electric stove tops, got 2 rushes northern capitol police out of that. we got acquainted 3 or 4 years ago, but since then we didn't hear anything from her. on january 20th, she wrote to me for the 1st time by a messenger. she offered to buy dresses from her business and deliver them to esther finland. i refused. sometime later, at the end of february, she wrote that it was now possible to send dresses. she wrote that they're based in bulgarian capital, sophia now. and so it's possible to send their dresses directly, and she offered very good discounts for us. honestly, these discounts persuaded us and we agreed. everything looked good to good. red flags were raised when with the 1st shipment of dresses, something else, something astonishingly random came until the electric stove tops,
9:20 pm
the owner of the shop in saint petersburg texted the woman and bulgaria. but she had an explanation for it. when address is arrived, electric stove tops were also in a box. my colleague called the contact number of the hottest the store to talk to the woman she was in contact with. she asked, what was the matter why we ordered dresses, but received electric stove tops. they said it was the delivery companies mistake that they brought the wrong parcel. she claimed the stove tops accidentally came to us instead of another address. the woman from the had asked us store, asked us to re deliver the stuff tops by a transfer company. she gave us the address, gave the phone number and the name of the person who was supposed to receive the staff tops at the pick at point. the following orders also included stoves. in fact, sometimes only the hobbs came even without the dresses and every time marina had a shipment address at the ready, this one belongs to let you, nancy alexander,
9:21 pm
who turned out to be parts of victor's terrorist. cell explosives were smuggled into russia by a mule, a man from milly topple, who was offering taxi services to the you and russia, then ukrainian intelligence exploited normal commercial schemes and unwitting accomplices to get them in the hands of agents in crimea. jennifer choi, i was looking for a person who would not draw attention to himself. it could be a pensioner. the main thing is that it wasn't me. so i found a pensioner. his wife gave their contacts, an apostle came to their name fi, a transport company. it was an electric stove top in this package, and the next package they were already to stove top. i opened it and saw additional wires. i was told they were detonators and activates and a receiver. when the package was delivered, they wrote to me the package has arrived. thank you. that is guys was perfect. it would take a professional maintenance guy watching the x ray to sport explosives in an
9:22 pm
electric stove top, already packed with wires, with the amount of explosive material victor cell received. they could carry out dozens of attacks. one of the members of the cell turned out to be a professional diver who stockpiled tens of kilograms of explosives and guns on his youth. one could only guess the sort of may ham this man could have caused, following the orders of the king pins in key of constantine constantine. the avenue and anchor asked me to write an acknowledgement that i am ready to cooperate with the ukraine authorities. and that i have been warned about the responsibility for disclosing these cooperation. i wrote it, sign it with a signature that was in mine and handed it to konstantin. he took a picture of it and that he would send it to some high ranking official. then he burned this receipt in front of me and threw what was left of this and college went into the sea. it all happened on my yacht. in this conversation, constantine mentioned that the quote or keeping an eye on the mayor of yalta unit
9:23 pm
of lancaster. i asked why, but he left it off. i didn't really like it for what purpose? i realized that it was for some criminal purpose. there were no specific expressions or threats from konstantin, but he had a serious expression on his face. from the bombing of the crimean bridge to assassinations of journalists, key of as made it clear that terrorist attacks against russia are an integral part of the state policy. but this case shows that no matter how intricate the ploy is russian security services are going to when i'm again done of reporting for ot see at the globe marks world press freedom day. the u i state department is launched a program to assist select journalists exclusively outside the u. s. the administrative for the nation's agency for international development. samantha powers addressed the media and the topic. we recognize the importance as
