8:08 pm
we insight into authorities off present the ukraine to commit crimes. the e u countries are also responsible for it, which directly enter responsible continue to bump up the ukraine and ruined click with weapons and emergency meeting of the un security council convenience to discuss the issue of the shelling of civilians and the russian city of belgrade. the ukrainian forces were targeting civilians attacking civilian infrastructure, and this was something that russian ambassador to ben z a brought to the attention of the un security council, the 15 member by that leads the united nations. he pointed out that while russia does not engage in these behaviors, but is frequently accused of doing so, we have a case of ukraine blatantly attacking civilian something they've been doing. ever since the elected government was toppled in the 2014 to sparking and setting the stage for events that led to the current conflict to describe the ukrainian forces and the ukraine government as a result of terror. we mentioned this, but suddenly when i build up as we begin the special military operation to stop
8:09 pm
what cube has been doing and done passport 8 years showing series and populated areas with impunity is. and you didn't want to notice that this can only be achieved by defeating the terrace resume, which opened with both stuff using service methods against its own and russian citizens. all the organizers and perpetrators of this and other crimes by t if will inevitably face persecution. we're calling all responsible governments and relevant international structures to come out with a strong condemnation of disapproval. terrorist attacks committed using cluster munitions bent in most western countries and publicly the distance themselves from the key of presume and its western creators commit such crimes. i would like to remind you of the very accurate matter for use by the polish president. during the high level meetings, he compared ukraine to a drowning man contract everyone, he graphs to the bottom. today we see the landscape, part of lack and other new and not to rep will trying to drag down not only the people of ukraine, but also those who give the military equipment and supplies. now, other countries represented on the council, emphasizes the need for negotiations and the mon,
8:10 pm
the loss of civilian life and death in conflict. they emphasize that there would not be a military solution to the conflict in ukraine, but rather negotiations needed to produce a political end to diplomatic one. we reiterate that international humanitarian law must be upheld at all times. civilians must be protected and constant care taken to spare them from military operations. civilian objects must not be the target of attacks. these air strikes showed that nearly 2 years into the war and ukraine, the very real risks of it spreading, remain a matter of grave concern. unless this conflict is halted, the new year brings with it the prospect of further escalation. we are very concerned about the recent reports, the one in the practice that was the 2 mental consequences of these conflict, such as the laws of human life and the gravity, monday tide and c, position,
8:11 pm
destruction of the property and public interest was in prospectors to into the west and day by day found to cut off with support a deeper model and the negotiated solutions between the 2 neighboring countries. now, western country is just repeated their monitor um that the civilians died and their death is on the blame of russia because russia lost its special military operation . now, the ukrainian representative on the east and repeated these ty, rates against russia, but russian and bastard eventually i was quick to point out that there was bleeding evidence of ukraine for us as targeting civilians. he held up to our coats, linking those, watching the un meeting to video, revealing the blatant atrocities being committed by ukrainian forces and calling out western leaders for the fact that they are ignoring atrocities and ignoring
8:12 pm
crimes against humanity were crimes being carried out by the forces they back while they repeat the same old tired montrose blaming russia for every thing. let's cross live now too early rasmussen and international consultants and joins me from minnesota. thank you so much for joining us. then you as security council has been focusing on the fact that civilians on both sides are being harmed. why do you and bring more pressure to bear on getting peace negotiations underway? well, i think we need to look what's involved in the m p players in the us. um, i think it's important for them to, to recognize this and to and to bring up concerned and to, to abide by international law. but at the same time we've got we have the key players in the and key members that really want this top put to go on really don't care whether or not international lost the following. i mean,
8:13 pm
you can look at the instances going on and tell us side, right, as a, as another example. but, um, but yes, uh, the un with, with those team members able to walk things and able to maneuver around other or other areas. then there's very little to you and will be able to use say that there are members of accounts so that 1 may or may not want this crisis, this conflict to continue on. doesn't that undermine the purpose of the un security council in a situation like this? oh absolutely, i mean it's uh, the whole purpose un security council is to identify crisis issues to come to some of the diplomatic solutions and actually ideally to prevent answer and solve them quickly. unfortunately, we've got permanent members that are actively or indirectly involved in the,
8:14 pm
in the actually in both cases and the both the final start as well as the and especially in the ukrainian conflict going on. so it's um you know, when you've got key members there's and they've got other weather till their little objective change. uh, uh, and i think we've got, there's other domestic issues that they're concerned about. and the problem that i want to say as well, like is here, we have a presidential election coming up. so i'm sure mister by doesn't want to look like he's losing to russia. i'm going into that election. so let so internal politics, domestic politics, large a individual for policy objectives, right? expansion of nato all play a role. and unfortunately at the expense of civilians, watches permanent representative to the you invested in have been joe, has repeated. they are to use the you in
8:15 pm
a not doing enough to end the war in ukraine, given the resent escalations on both sides will bring you into any better this time . for the sake of humanity. i don't know, i wouldn't put a lot of expectations on it, but i'm, i'm hoping that it keeps it from from its uh, basically expanding more escalating more because i think it could be very dangerous to be doing a situation where you have a false essentially what the situation right now, i mean, clearly ukraine is losing the conflict. they, unfortunately, both ukraine and there are some who borders do not want to pop up to hopefully admit that. now, what possibly could happen, you could easily have a false flag event that occurs. it costs an escalation for you, you could have something happens to try to propose russia to take a kind of a different action and, and right. and that's like things more as well. so it's
8:16 pm
a very dangerous situation. i'm hoping that you will, but why do you think well, why do you think we're seeing the escalation of the conflict now? and to what end? because, you know, we've been hearing of posted the possibility of us is why of, and then the war of late in the last couple of weeks. but now it's suddenly escalating again. i think there's a personally thing. it's desperation. i mean, we've got what we have going on. we've got it really. it's been going on more and more over the last year, especially. we've got the north st pipeline. that's clear. mean international chair of texas. we've got this, the destruction then the and the attacks on the 1st street another terror effective . we've got drones going, being sent to, to moscow. another terror effective. and all those are being supported by the west and backers as well or plan for intimately involved. so it's uh, i think this is especially right now this place where see,
8:17 pm
they're desperate they are death. there's they're on the final legs and they're concerned and they have, you have the puter bar, greg going on. oh, rush is going to attack me to go. that's not going to happen, it left. so maybe the for both the, you know, this is there. is there a concern? they've got problems internally in the, in, inside the government within you, right. we've got some problems and disagreements inside the us. we have problems and disagreements within nato itself. so this is and they're hurting economically. the sanctions of fact fire. so this is um, there are there and a i think it's this, these are the complaint that further that's actually the way to do this. oh rasmussen. thank you so much for speaking to our, to international and international consultants there for us from minnesota. thank you. if where is latest attempt to add a counter offensive stalled is 2023 draws to
