the the the the, we believe the word has been a strategic failure for you. crank, defacto, you create is already positive the lines of weapons and they start with conflicting misspoken and contrasting views ahead of the nato summit being held in with you radio. we picked on what could be a head today marks 80 years since the bullying must occur where tens of thousands of pools were killed by you'd premium. nationalist roofing . celebrates this. beating this functions around

launches and major petrochemical plant where more than 80 percent of its needs are covered by homes built equipment despite the western attempt stuff. homo industry in the nation, the 3 in the morning in the 0. yeah. 3 in the afternoon in bluestone and 9 am right here in law school this tuesday, july. the 11th. welcome to then use our on the eve of the next. so summit, industry media, the host country suggested setting up the tree, bases along russia's borders. a nice how you should scrap its constraints on setting up permanent defensive basis. now, russia's board is because the underlying freaky with moscow is dead and joined in the she do know it by ortiz in the email is shar in the morning too. yeah, quite the proposal there from the list just the

a few hours ahead of today's summit which kicks off. that was already going to be a full, contentious agenda of topics at done for discussion today. but this i suppose just the 2nd is the action. yes. so the least when you and president has said that nato should spend, should have more military spending in the organization and should put military bases in russia now. well, maybe they would be able to do that if they is not spending as much money on ukraine for instance. but also canada has wedged double needle mandated deployment in love. yeah. why? well, because a fresh job because they're scared that russia might do something. now, during the nato summit, that is going to happen tomorrow. we have 2 topics on the agenda, the 1st one being a v c. uh ukraine, joining nato in the 2nd one being suite in joining the organization as well. and as you quinn was promise security guarantees, the sue has yet to see an invitation to join the organization. and we know that

ukraine does not fit the criteria to join nato and mid the kind of conflict that it has to deal with. as so, the nato's is, secretary general has said that you will be offering a package of 3 elements. now these elements are a program of support to bring you quite closer to nato creation of the ukraine nato council. and a cancellation of the membership action was now so much money, but it seems like they have nothing more to our ukraine with and they're just keep on delaying its membership to the organization and even the cleaning president himself. does it last, he has said that he won't be joining this summit unless there is a clear answer on you. chris future when he comes to joining nato. so let's take a listen in. in this case, i'm in the building assignment is very important. if there is no unity regarding as a technical invitation for ukraine to join the alliance, it's all

a matter of political wills, just to find the proper wording and invite ukraine. it would be an important message to say that nature is not afraid of rush on to the cranium. foreign minister has said that this package is simply not enough and that we should not see . the security guarantees as a step to close their membership to join nato. but actually as a step to become closer to joining the organization. and it looks like all the money and the efforts that the united states and nato have spent when it comes to you claim it looks like they've gone for nothing really because they see the conflict as a specific failure for you creating. so let's take a listen into that. we believe the word has been a strategic failure for ukraine. the secretary spoke to this in his speech he gave in helsinki last month. i believe it was what that is. i'm sorry sir. excuse me. a

strategic failure for, for ukraine. thank you for the direction of which is the above. so the freudian slips really never fails to amaze us. right? first crane is when and now ukraine is not women anymore. first, ukraine will join nato now. oh, we don't really want to talk about that right now. so it's really interesting to see. yeah, you mentioned the, the need of some of the next 2 days is happening. no sign of piece being talked about by the way, it's weapons, weapons, weapons on those arms are being shipped more and more housing stopped going to ukraine, the latest being those notorious cluster of buttons too. so if we're not, if we're not want to talk about these cluster munitions, let's also mention the fact that nato member states have gone down when it comes to the global military rank. and so this is germany, france kind of know who have low strengths, but surprisingly ukraine has actually gained strength in the global military and

ranking. uh, well why? because obviously they're getting so much help for the past year from nato members states. and so, right now the united states is sending that cluster munitions of you mention simply because they have nothing else to do. so let's say for listening to president biden the news is that the administration is going to provide cluster munitions to the ukrainians. these are weapons that a 100 nations band, including some of our closest nato allies. when there was news that the russians might be using it, admittedly against civilians, you will then press secretary said, this might be the constituent war crimes. what made you change your mind and decide to give them these weapons and the koreans are running out of ammunition. the ammunition that is to call them 155 millimeter weapons. this is a, this is

a war relating to munitions. and they're running out of those and that ammunition and we're low on a and a well, the american president has talked to the ukraine in a president zalinski and has said that the united states was still send armstead grant. he has nothing to worry about. but he has also urged, funny enough lawmakers to cancel plans of independent inspection of t of packages of american key of packages. now ukraine is getting is not getting closer to nato membership, but that is also for the into the 20 and president who is the host of the current nato summit. okay, that's not somebody's the amount that you want us to put a situation where ukraine's nature membership comes with horizon. the more you get closer, the more it moves forward from you. so you create today needs very specific signals about the fact that once conditions allow, it will definitely not on paper, but for real become a member of nato simple law shows. this whole scenario seems to be

a little bit repetitive. i mean, we've seen that with to kia, for example, 6. yeah, that was a surprise and 9 spend, as you mentioned with high career, it wasn't there on the eve of a stomach. but the trick here was listening its objections to sweden joining the grouping. do we know why the sudden change of heart from contract cropped up? well, we could say that it is because to re key it has long been logged in to join the you, of course, has been turned down every single time with the was learning others with elite membership is really nothing new. and almost over almost all nato members, are you members? it seems like they don't really want on part to join in. and so of course, as you've mentioned, encore has finally said, okay, we will maybe consider suite into joining nato. but maybe it's time for you guys to

consider us joining as the european union. so this whole situation, really, the whole thing. it seems like it's the united states trying to fight for unit how color world as it's been waiting for a very long time now. so i think we will just have to sit and see how this will all fold out. okay, thanks for taking us through all of that a lot going on in the email as shar or too personal, like opponent is one of those to argue proponents of ukraine's a session to natal. i'm the european union, but relations between the countries have been told was being so supportive. today marks 18 years since the bullying must occur with so up to 60000 people, mostly poles killed by ukrainian nationalist supported by the 3rd. right. that's those same nationalists that he did not openly celebrate or to chat, but was looked back at this dark chapter of the past and its impact on the present . 80 years ago ukrainian nationalist embarked on

a brutal killing spree against innocent polish civilians. these mass killings of up to 60000 defenseless men, women and children are known as the boy lean massacres, a rodney regarding a poland. as a genocide. the however vladimir zelinski is regime in t. yes. has refused to even acknowledge, let alone apologize for the actions of those. they now have as the heroes of ukraine. presidents, lensky should take more responsibility for ukraine. you can't change that fact. you can't turn back time and there will never be a good time to talk about it any attempt to impose on the ukrainian president or

ukraine and tell us what we must do about our common past is unacceptable and unfortunate the brutality which, which these killings were carried out is on speak of all the other, today's modern and freedom loving you've tried. it seems it's absolutely fine to openly celebrate on idolized the hateful ideology, the field with an anti semitic nazi collaborators. so just step on by dare and room and should cambridge the open, the idolize in a country were now told represents the very core of european values. the, the, let's not forget, this is a country whose president himself, pro, be refers to his own jewish ancestry floor, refuting the realities of your brains, very real. and that's the problem you have to do is go function shots. the man who

has jewish blood in his veins, 2 heads, the stage of ukraine can support flashes different, but there it was elevated to the rank of a national hero. and now they walk around with his post as historically we will never be happy with what's happening there. and when we were in the middle of the negotiation process, including in this them both, we kept raising this question and it seems no crime copy cove. i know if that crime was committed by the proxy warriors of the west with the western media as long health concerns about the neo nazi as of either until nato battalions on that seemingly for gone. but history never forgets. and the reality of what you claims for are really idols represent is well documented and irrefutable. a group of members of the ukranian nationalist organization, then their rights movement, hiding out in the villages of the sonia area, carried out a massacre of the polish population at the beginning of february 1943 in the

village of par, us uh the number of killed and maimed adults in children reached a 150 people. this crime was left unpunished by the germans. according to the report of the 4th directorate of the n, k g b of the ussr. recently the leader of the polish catholic church demanded that the events of 80 years ago be recognized by ukraine is a genocide, and his call can be added to those of the as rarely and basset are all deeply concerned about ukraine's hero worship of mass killers and nazi collaborators, as long as nato, on the cost you claim in the role of defender of european values, it's also likely that they will continue to turn a blind eye to ukraine's energetic but fail of the mass killers of women and children. as heroes. as a former foreign correspondent for the new york times, i'm bloomberg john, virtually who has relatives were killed in the massacre believes, acknowledging and apologizing for the mass killings they would threaten the very

existence of the current government. thank you. of the ideological foundation of the car is resumed. kias is glorification of these nazi collaborators who carried out these horrible massacres and volley because they started zalinski says, apologize in the whole ideological framework of the current cube review. it crumbles. and obviously the suppose government is supporting them is covering up the crime. and of course, we understand that you're pulling under control. the u. s. has no choice because government has no choice. the poets people pretty much also have no say in this matter. washington, under the control of by the democratic party, their policy is to destroy russia attack. and just for russia, any way possible, our leads are doing this, a kind of this campaign to suppress history suppressed the dirty, violent blooded history of the campers, inc. okay, and i know this is very personal for me because i have victims. my family has victims were slaughtered and those bullying massacres. and i remember as

a kid trying to find information about this was almost impossible. so the u. s. government cover about this massacres goes back a long time. right? because it's always the risk of is always supported, supported these ukraine, the naturalist, and pretty much waiting for this day. right? when, when they wouldn't be able to control, there's even kid. so again, we've understand, you know, the main factor here. why key of why the resume will not apologize? is because the ideal that's good underpinnings, ideological foundation of this region will collapse if it starts apologizing for the crimes of the heroes who glorifies joan early their less turn to the front lines of the conflict. the russian defense ministry is reporting up to $700.00 ukrainian soldiers were killed on monday. russian scots are said to be identifying munitions stores um fortifications, which are then targeted by our tutoring. r t senior correspondent, but i guess be of expands and how buffy losses have dump. and kids expectations for

this week's natal summit on the eve of the native summit in vilnius, ukrainian forces have significantly increased attacks and intensified attacks across the front floods, multiple regions. and this up are always you the region. and also here in new gods region, we're in good him and where earlier ukrainian troops attempted a large by local measures attack on russian position 3 or 4 dozen assault troops backed by on the bus. while carriers attempted to storm for wood washing positions across the neutral, neutral ground territory that divides the the 2 sides, the attack was beaten back with heavy losses for ukraine. 14 bodies of being counted left behind the remains of 14 ukrainian troops, the 57. that's the, the intends appears to be clear, ukraine is,

is trying to throwing everything it has the attempt to break through russian lines again as the nasal summits in vilnius kick software, ukraine hoops to show the results of the 10s of billions of dollars invested into a 5, west and states by they have states and to show that you can pay them all for the investment of the creating costs will eventually pay off. so for those attacks that you paid has launched, it is worth mentioning that off through a month of ceaseless attacks. hundreds of uh, western supplied vehicles, but thousands upon thousands, babs, tens of thousands of casualties, shuffled, news outlets. it'd be flooded with force it showing devastation showing mass tillery strides as well as the butting remains. of you paid in on forces vehicles, the troops we're seeing rides,

the vehicles. bradley alma tested out carriers as well as epa tags provided by germany heats and burning in the fields and the long and long roads in the puddles. yet you can inside have still be non unable to break through even to russia's 1st defense of lot, but stretches all the way from if you have solid and region up north through some of the ocean food in the way until the gods got into the russian border, they have been unable to reach preliminary defenses and reach that defensive live broadcast. the if nice some very interesting remarks this week from a former a strongly and prime minister who compared nato's plans to expand into the asia pacific to a contagious disease. exporting that's malicious, poisoned to asia, would be keen to asia welcoming the plague volume itself. with all the phases of

wasting developments that made it small and let me pull over to see that promise would be compromised by having anything to do with the military's and will see europe and military reason at gone by the united states. paul keating went further claiming nato, his leadership acts in the interest of washington more than anyone else, including europe. he also noted china how soon go the history of invading other countries on like the united states. earlier, the french president issued his own criticism of the alliance, has planned to open a liaison office in japan, and many of them i called and said they would risk shifting the alliance as reach too far. we spoke to a member of the center for china and globalization think tech, who doesn't believe the plan is full. many countries including funds are strongly opposing the idea to open the nato's the liaison office in japan. um, but since need hose is now what quite

a few european lead is called brain dead. so nato could still do things that did not seem rational or agreeable to the interest of most european nations opening as office in japan, signifies as other stuff to was anger in china and many other asian countries of the asian countries are still remembering the war crimes japan has done to his neighbors, into towards the east expansion of nato, as a major reason for russia's special military operations in ukraine. i think nato should not repeat the same error in default is jeopardizing peace in asia after this, just the chinese foreign ministry spokesman, while when being set last month, the majority of ation countries posts the emergence of the media treat blocks in the region. they do welcome, they chose all rich nation. when your country

surrounded by a wall of sections, it forces you to look closer to home for solutions and innovation can follow. that's exactly what a major new petrochemical plant has found inside the west, around with equipment made in the country, not satisfying more than 80 percent of its needs. ortiz use up to allow the reports on the resilience sector with even bigger plans. after do you ever read should there can use of things for our truck. we can start on search for chemical plans has finally come on. st. louis moved on projects and the phone for a start, a warning and for our business, or from do to you on board or not much as a production capacity of 1000000 songs of ethylene every year. slippers are doing the federal chemical industries company, which is the owner of the $400.00 sales. this refinery was significant, they boost it won't, federal government is free. and the very so for us to earn sanctions that 5th assorted to sell, the annual production capacity of this plant is 1000000 tons of ethylene. as you

know, ethylene is a major component of all of and production is regarded as a major unit in the petrochemical industry, since it will feed many downstream industrial uses. that's why ethylene is one of the complicated and important units in the petroleum, in petrochemical industries. there's almost for, for chemical sector is one of the hardest, terence, why was some sanctions which mark the countries access so that either technology get to develop its spiritual chem infrastructure. however, everyone has adopted a unique approach working at the functions of a chance to improve its domestic. now how this project is an example of this mindset. the persian gulf fletcher, chemical industries, companies have more than 80 percent of the machine to reuse. tier are manufactured anyway. pretty much the model we can title this complex, the most indigenous 11 production unit to offer. and this is because the majority of the equipment to use here are made in all the furnace burners already made the crowd gina pumps, which would get temperatures of minus 106 degrees. these conditions to require

special technology are also entirely ready and made, as well as the catalyst and many other parts use this complex. richard, southern childrens has also banned their walls for, for identical formats on the google market. what it's for. so i seen this where you have survived the western measures for how well the country has diversified is marcus. and as it's for him to, to finish on this before he gets on the river, there's the finishes, are not a concert on. we sell on petra chemical products in the fall. this positive will and i'll, pedro chemical products will enter new markets and the future. iran has entered different african markets that have good economies, like south africa and kenya in north african countries, as well as south american countries like brazil, mississippi. all these factors have contributed to the petrochemical sector, becoming a lucrative industry and made the sanctions against all odds that for chemical

industry custer and the 2nd largest source of income firewall. and after a crude oil accounting for what the 33 percent of the concierge, not oil income, based on the latest figures, webb and it was for me, it was special chemical sector waste $26000000.00. and the last, the want in your plan will be 41000000000 the year before they need some add to it . fortunately, because of our reliance on domestic capabilities, the petrochemical industry is growing resilient against accrual sanction imposed by western governments. so all petrochemical sector is up and running and we're implementing our projects despite sanctions, and what some countries are planning against us out that let's and then wait until the overlay bar though it won't, is increasing retention again on the federal countable sector. so it's a remote and it's a viable all sort of therefore only one of those officials so that you're performed against so long software it's looking for is building send me or, or in processing once, as part of efforts to increase the tool a little bit. so kind of like on from the current, it's $4.00 to $6000000.00 to

a whopping $180000000.00 by 2030. because of generally on the 30 got salt on monday, culminated with a meeting with the chinese president while today started with paying respects to the countries national heroes. it's all part of a trip to beijing of a high level parliamentary delegation from russia, headed by the chair woman of the opera chamber ortiz donald quarter. he's there to takes us through the significance of the commemoration on the day the trip as a whole. and we were just at a time adamant square here in beijing aware of the russian delegation, led by valentino mondanca, attended a replaying ceremony at the monuments to the people's heroes. it's a memorial to chinese revolutionaries. that fought against imperialism for nearly a century, relief century, which ended with the communist party's victory in the civil war, and the establishment of the people's republic of china. in 1949. now this country

shares a common history with russia's communist predecessor of the soviet union. which was the 1st country in the world to recognize china, communist china as a legitimate state. so it's definitely no accident and significance that the chinese side decided to have a joint event with the russian delegation at exactly that location. now, yesterday might be info, also met with the chinese presidents chasing, paying at a very high level meeting. and she said that the meeting went very well. both sides agreed to continue their warm strategic cooperation based on mutual cooperation, mutual, a mutual gain rather, and mutual respect. they were the, you know, my vehicle also said that russia, china cooperation is not only just good right now, but it's also looking at a very bright future. and one of the at least short term indications of that is the fact that my vanco mentioned that the trade volume between china and russia is

expected to exceed $200000000000.00 worth before the end of the year. and yesterday she also met with the chairman of the national people's congress here in china and visited a museum dedicated to the chinese communist party. so a lot of high profile events yesterday. it's also interesting to note that upon must be in close arrival here in beijing, she received more than one bouquet of flowers from the chinese side in stark contrast to the reception that was given to us finance secretary janet yelman's visit, which ended just last sunday. they, in fact, she ended up vowing to the chinese official, which is not at all part of the chinese protocol. and she was widely criticized in the media for that embarrassing move. and she spent over 10 hours and talks with chinese officials and a desperate attempts to revive relations which are at a low that we haven't seen in decades. and the last that meeting yielded no significant results. it was very similar to

a similar visit made by the us state secretary anthony blinking just a little bit earlier than yelman's visit, which again didn't really yield any significant results and simply proceeded biden's comments on seizing paying, which controversially called him a dictator. so what we're seeing right now with the russian delegations visit to china is a much bigger opportunity to even improve the already warm relations between china and russia. in comparison to these times by us officials, we've seen in the past to make friends and influence china. donald quarter, taking us to the end of this news luck, but stay with us because next we're discussing how well the protagonist sending you cream conflict, understand each other's motives and goals in worlds of parts construct santa and today's guest iris historian geoffrey roberts, the

or hello, and welcome to was a part the russian military operation in ukraine of those 2 markets. first anniversary having dinner k to millions of lives on both sides of the conflict intern before and after. how well do the protagonist understand the child, their motives and goals, and we've been damaged, already inflicted as any reconciliation even possible?

while to discuss it, i'm now enjoyed by geoffrey roberts, professor emeritus of history at the university college park. this is a robert's is great to talk to. thank you very much for your time. thanks for the invitation. as you pointed out in one of your articles at western media are still awash with the theories and narratives of what was on vladimir put his mind when he authorized this incursion into your brain. but according to you, they all missed one important factor which is put into a pop elliptic vision of a nuclear on your brain imbedded in nato. what do you mean by that? and do you think that vision as apocalyptic as it may be? i have any grounding in reality, like describe the the thirty's decision to go to what would you try as a decision to try to take a bucket of preventative? what right, to prevent the continued build up of the nature ukrainian.
