defensive with others, but they were exposed by the forces of military intelligence in time and were bombed by our aircraft at their starting positions. as soon as they reached the mine fields for enemy tanks were blown up by the mines, further or taylor, we suppress the enemy's rank from their firing positions and electronic warfare units or press the enemy's communication system. having suffered losses, the enemy refused to advance further and we've been able to and we have just returned from this apparel here region and it is believed to be the main direction for the counter offensive of the ukrainian forces. the night has been very heated, as we filmed, and as we've talked to the soldiers who are well acting, who are facing on that section of the front at around midnight. a, the crate in forces they've attempted to breach of russia's defense is just outside of the small town of either of which is not the 1st attempt that they're taking there on that particular section of the front. but it is certainly, well other attempts they pale in comparison when it comes to the money to that the

ukrainian army has of thrown into the me grind is over that and well, so far they have failed to show anything for me to give up to 3 and to be tank units were moving in for directions. the enemy did not even reach the combat collision line and 2 places. we have been preparing for this counter offensive for a long time, and we were afraid that the enemy would prepare even more so far. we see unreasonable actions, because if they continue to lose up to 3 units and one attack, then we will reduce them to adams within one month because the equipment and people will run out. we have strength in the defensive front line and nothing that we would need to be crazy to make a frontal attack there. we do know that since midnight until probably about 5 o'clock in the morning, the russian jets russian bomb is and artillery. they have been burning the advancing ukrainian columns, binding its tanks, burning its almost vehicles and the oil killing the past. and now so far,

the fighters who over that they are describing me the scale of loss is of the ukrainian army as quote unquote co law. so uh, at the same time, the russian soldiers that they are standing strong base so far have not given any important positions at the front as well as very stable over there. at the same time, they're telling me that at least one ukrainian battalion that's hundreds of people, at least up to 800 of men. they openly sabotaged orders. that's according to the information that they got from the radio chat to have it they intercepted, they sabotaged orders to advance to stop the offensive and well, they simply declined to advance. again, that's hundreds of men and dozens of uh, items of ahmed vehicles. and the tang said kinda speak so lots about the and says a lot about the marolla view, crania, and forces of, uh, thrown again into the mead grind as well on that spots of, of the front. again,

it is not right to say that everything has come to an end over the, the intensity of the fighting. it has subsided significantly, but the firefights are still ongoing, and the tillery on the ation jets are still very busy. and so you're currently in attacks on russian positions what we're pell now, key of is dismissing claims that it has begun its long awaited counter offensive against russia off the major western media off. it said precisely that let's go to details now from new york is kind of to earlier in response to events, we heard us media jubilant, celebrating yes, the great counter offensive has big gun. this is the beginning of the great victory of ukraine, etc. they beat the drums, they sounded the trumpets, it was all this trial input noise. but now we have reuters coming forward with the information presented by a representative of the granting and general staff saying that no such offensive

seems to be under way. they don't have this information. so the jubilant noise of western media seems to put the ukrainian stay in an awkward position as main stream us media and its allies around the world was just playing up this, this triumphing offensive. but they were going to have now, now if you crane is sal, is saying that that's not the case that, that this offensive didn't happen. let's see how things play out militarily. but at the moment, it seems like the, the noise from us media that was intended to celebrate great victories coming up for ukraine. now, it seems to a kind of backfired at the moment. and ukraine is perhaps put in an awkward position by 2 civilians, including a pregnant women what killed by ukrainian shouting and rushes out of southern region that attacked on a flood evacuation area for rescued civilians. also, i wanted to other people. i don't,

best correspondent to steve sweeney. now has more details on this a time where one civilian has been killed at least 11 the others wounded in some other latest ukrainian shot. the attack took place on the thursday lunch time, so we can only believe that this was designed for maximum impact. some 23 book is written down on the city, atlanta in the marketplace, but also destroyed and damaging residential buildings and cultural products and a local technical school. i'm also having these reports and because on a region where the acting governor that has said that 2 people have been killed, one of them, a pregnant woman in an attack on it of occupation, a points. and he described this as a deliberate attack on the innocent so many is that we're also having use from the co, the power station. this is being at the premiums have target to the conversation that holding a full risk 5. and of course, this is leading many people to also,

when will this nightmare come to an end? i was talking earlier to independent dutch journalist as sonya vanden and your sites that you create in force as of now, pivoted towards terrorism, simply in revenge for enormous losses on the battlefield. green cross between all the bits and fields. because when we hear the immense, also solid metal field and this was not an hour before already the, there was so many injured, so many soldiers died actually. so you can see that then now are doing terrorism is what they did. of course on the coast i've done it as many times before. they like you. whoa. uh cecilia is ivy hands and of course doing yes. city. this is continuously, i think since many months already, or maybe since when you are ready they are attacking civilians in the city or sicilian in press. dr. apartment buildings, a former nato secretary general has worn the western military alliance could soon

become involved in direct fighting in ukraine, or he's in a token else. it could be on a clear pa, forward for ukraine. there's a possibility that some counselors might take action individually. we know that poland is a veteran gauge, then providing a concrete assistance to ukraine and i wouldn't exclude the possibility that paul on to building dates even stronger in this context on a national basis. and be followed by the baltic states may be including the possibility of troops on the ground. well look, it's well known in the european, most of the areas they've been fighting on the ukrainian side of a coffee for many months. but now it seems possible that official nato soldiers could be sent into the combat zones. for example, the several postage officials have not ruled out the possibility of this. in fact, happening and political consultant to our no de la, he says the full, my nato secretary general resolution is trying to set the tone for decision making within the blog. i think this actually is something that has to be moved into an

exception of virtual mind. ready speech it last uh i think it was march uh in. uh uh also you have to remember the name of the words it needs a little uh sheet of. ready which basically needs to fine uh, the bins to jersey by its own existence and to find the budgets reisman's done. he's very skilled. the individual obviously since he was. ready doing the organization for many years and he's trying to basically said the tool was for the upcoming son to be on his on uh, on july 11th. and the idea that, uh, if uh the full resolutions are adopted within the formats of that. so the next month, this should at least be some kind of recent guaranteed uh, very known. uh so it should not be to be done to the next edition, the washington to california,

enjoying this trip long $55.00 people who have been injured off the is rarely for says mounted a rate on the policy and said he'll put it on mama. that is in the westbank and naturally provoked well whatever you. 9 the it has been a very tough morning in ramallah this thursday. media report say that a large group of israeli military came to down on all the capital of the palestinian administration to carry out an army opperation of demolishing the house . belonging to someone who israel accused and charged off terrorism, they've prizes on the ground, sparked immediately outrage among the local population, including young stories. they started throwing stones to these rarely forces with the army and made his new responding with fire in life and rob the bullets as well

as to you guys. the idea of confirmed as part of the information provided by the palestinian journalist center because saying that one published in fulton journalist was huge by robert bullets to he's had a while he was at the riots between local population and these really are me. he's currently is in a intensive care. i have to say this is a very hot topic, according to rough estimate. in the last 22 years, these really forces killed at least 22 journalist and many others have been wounded and a big concern of human rights groups. both local and international. is that no, it has ever been punished for that. and this is why we now hear from local journalists that this case should be taking 2 colt, including international criminal court. demolition house is a is a come on is rarely practiced when it comes to the perpetrators accused of terrorist and israel has been doing it all across the occupied west bank, claiming it is by this punishment and

a tool of deterrence to potential attackers. this recent time, the idea of sat at a statement, a residence of some of the one who was behind the terror attack, interest to them last november was demolished when tween bloss killed. 2 people hadn't changed her. it's 14 others at least. but all the com on this policy is highly criticized human rights groups. local and international call is a form of collective punishment, claiming it is not federal legal that the families of the attackers are being punished and us suffering. there were several cases here when college student plays appealed to high court of justice in jerusalem, trying to prevent the homes from being demolished beds. and most of the cases these appeals were rejected. the treatment of the international commission to support policy and human rights says that israel has deliberately silencing palestinian john list 10 others who pushed back on calories narratives and it's heavy handed

approach. or is that something should people do? because unfortunately, after the beginning of the arab israeli conflict, neither is really commanders nor soldiers were held accountable for the crimes committed, including those against journalists, which are protected not only by the general provisions of international and humanitarian law, but also by the 4th geneva convention. the occupying state deliberately attacks journalists to prevent the dissemination of information concerning the lawlessness of the occupation regime. fearing that this may effect international public opinion, israel is doing everything to prevent journalists from covering murders international harm to health a times to be in the coverage of events, confiscation of film equipment, a rest of journalists, as well as rates on media institutions. it completely ignores the provisions of international law behaving like a rogue state. at the same time, israel feels its impunity as the u. s. by every time applying

a veto in the u. n. s c deprives the international community of the opportunity to fulfill its obligations with respect to the rights of palestinians and their property. the protests in sri lanka have devolved into violence, as the police deployed tear gas and water cannon to disperse. what basically our anti government demonstrate is the so at the end of the day, thousands of people gathered in a sub of, of the major city of colombo to protest against, well, the current government policies bill. so for filling inflation, a student organization, the cold for the rally, demonte the immediate release of 2 detained student council. men and you poll shows that most of you repeat and say that you, you should focus more on strengthening its own minute freed my independent less on washington and for security of the french liter, emmanuel backgrounds,

position to remain neutral towards china was also gaining traction among among the public, let's go to a rather unique take on this with onto contributor is rachel most as they are planning council on foreign relations, a major european policy. think type, who's the artist donor has historically been finance here. george soros has opened society foundations, but it also gets cashed from various european governments and the european union has just found in the survey of citizens from 11 different european countries that while just under half of europeans do, consider the continent security relationship with washington to be beneficial and the vast majority see the us as an ally, forestry teacher, partner offering 74 percent of them. a figure that's out from 66 percent in november of 20. 20 also said that you are a cannot rely on the u. s. and these, it's own defense capabilities. and speaking of autonomy, 62 percent of the 16000 europeans, paul said that they want to stay unusual in any conflict between the us and china.

in other words, europeans are on the same page as french president, a menu item i call. the paradox would be that's overcome with panic. we believe we are just america's followers. the question europeans need to answer is it in our interest to accelerate on tie one? no, the worst thing would be to think that we, your opinions must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the us agenda. and a chinese overreaction matter realizes that you can have truly independent foreign policy and positions of your own. if you can't stand on your own to fees, manual happened to come to this realization after a visit to china back in april and during which he scored some major business deals for france at the time when he desperately needed some darts on the board. as the country suffered and continues to suffer from high inflation and energy prices. so michael suddenly started speaking about china being an ally, unlike washington's view of beijing as a full noun,

the false report is that you put the one. the french supports the one china policy and the search for a peaceful settlement of the situation, but this is the position of europeans and it is a position that has always been compatible with the role of allies. what it is precisely here that i insist on the importance of strategic autonomy between allies does not mean being a vassal something. it's amazing. house gray is a big business deals from china, including the sale of a 160 new commercials.
