the most of them died, 6 was incredible genocide. the ukraine has become an outright terrorist states for 10 years. it has been terrorizing civilians, both within its own country and beyond its borders. russia's top picked them up, says he has into crane and it's west and all it says, claiming that the notes are ready to turn a blind item. yeah, it's, it's falsity. so for the data is chief insist pumping you claims military aid is an investment in the center, but most goes on board to the line. says kids simply being used to see things flushed. yes or no, not the start of the crane is an instrument from nissan. to put it bluntly and

straightforwardly state countries of waging a hyper go against brush on the same bob way to class this think old dissolved storm. it's a devastating prize, exacerbated 5. you're going sanctions from the us, the hello and welcome to a to international on friday. april of space use interviews will across the globe bringing that way to you. thank you very much for joining it's difficult to believe russia could have been targeted by is lot. make fundamental spots according to president. lot my pretend who has said the deadly tara attack in moscow 2 weeks ago was an attempt to undermine the country's unity. i see numerous victims russia and cannot be the target of terrorist attacks by islamic fundamentalists. we have a country that demonstrates

a unique example of into faith, harmony, and unity into religious and ethnic units 8. and in the external arena, russian behaves in such a way that it can hardly be an object of a thing by is let, make fundamentalists, but the goal of undermining the unity of russian society, especially in more than conditions is certainly visible. meanwhile, the russian security service has revealed 3 more suspects have been arrested. one was said to be directly involved in recruiting the gunman yet, but she was said to have transferred money full, the terrorists to buy weapons. and the vehicle us so made a must go on. and he, catherine bag, that tube, the suspects before nationals, the of the a russian citizen. meanwhile, russia's foreign minister has declared ukraine an out right terrorist state. this is so a lot of whose words came as he was commenting on the quote, the city whole concept as hack. now he's also last time. so will he cool be

ignorance of western countries when it comes to a trusted disease committed by kids to someone else today in the solar ukraine has become an outright terrorist state. for 10 years. it has been terrorizing civilians both within its own country and beyond. its borders, we see how kids flagrant violations of human rights are being covered up by western n g. those and many international mechanisms. in february 2022, when the special military operation began, the key of regime declared itself free of virtually all human rights obligations. even then i will remind you the entire world was covered with numerous images of ukrainian military atrocities, including on the battlefield. let us recall the video of ukrainian nazis were in uniforms of the ukrainian armed forces, shooting captive russian soldiers, whose hands and feet were bound and had bags over their heads,

all of which was filmed and posted online with obvious pleasure. but no one is going to demand that ukraine, investigate this crime, and prove that they understand something and at least partially respect their obligations under international law. mister lab, ralph placed great emphasis on how the actions of both keys and the west have led to a re emergence of neo nazi as a, one of the main events being the so called anti terrorist operation. the key i've had launched against the people have done boss back in 2015, not long after the euro. my don racine came to power in ukraine. this operation drew much of its strength from armed neo nazi organizations like the as off battalion, which the united states had supplied with weapons and money over many years. and according to russia's a foreign minister, he says that it's unlikely that the west is ever going to conduct an actual investigation into the crimes of organizations like the as on fatality, some,

we'd be able to refund the very 1st moment. we've been demanding an objective open investigation. no one is going to do that. at the same time, the european union who have believes as if it had only been waiting for this occasion together with the americans and the british introduce new packages of sanctions against restaurants. we all know the key is not independence. it is only following the instructions of its bosses, its masters, who need to implementer and to rush or project to global midland you. the main thing for them is to defeat russia, that most of this is the goal that was set for the key of regime period keeps giving his remote access for administer. also spoke a bit about how moscow was able to broker a ceasefire. and the don boss conflict in 2015 through multi lateral negotiations that resulted in the minster agreements. but after some several years it became clear that t f and the west were not serious about upholding their obligations under these agreements. despite the fact that moscow had long wardens,

the west and key of that, an escalation of this conflict would only lead to catastrophe, which is what it is. we honestly told the west you are pushing ukraine towards disaster. no one was listening. that's why i say again, we have nothing to hide. i do not know with what arguments the west uses, except that russia will conquer everyone now. and there was no logic there some time ago at the beginning of the special military operation, even before its western ideologists said, let's rather accept you, crane and tomato. then russia will not dare to attack it, because russia cannot attack a nato country. now as you see, those arguments have changed, and they are now saying that ukraine is about to lose, and they cannot allow you for and to lose. because as soon as it loses to russia, russia would immediately attack nato. where is the logic there? at 1st, they assume that russia would never allow itself to attack nato,

but now they are just convincing everyone that this is the plan of president putin and the russian leadership. oh, freshman has already commented on this calling it nonsense. of course, it's all ties into mister lab rugs earlier statements that the key ever seen has been a terrorist state for the past decade. he mentioned the attacks on the crime in bridge which took the lives of several civilians. the assassinations of journalists like daria, do gonna, and other terrorist attacks that have taken place on russian territory that have essentially put t of in direct contradiction with its obligations under international anti terrorism conventions. well, western indian diplomats and they'll try grenada, says that the global side shows russia's aspirations were peaceful and to the ukraine conflict. russia has been engaged in a big way with the countries in the global south. and it has tried very hard,

i believe, to have good relations with the rest of the countries as well to go to the company and wanted to quickly but sort of home because of the deal of water to color gear. kind of a competition that has not worked out. and so in the building so which have suffered the most from that it is brand them and called the stroke and bar. and the one that is going on invest issue between design and come us, all these that is affecting you agree with the what is happening. i have the, the, the countries from the global south. and i think that that is one of these, and that's the most of the stuff, this waters of north between the actually, you know, this is a warm between the show and the west. and therefore, until the rest is configurable. because obviously, the end of this war relations between russia and nato are in a state of direct confrontation over the launch as involvement in ukraine. that's according to the kremlin spokesperson chestnut. besides,

these relations have now slipped to the level of direct confrontation into the nature of mistakes. the lines itself is in fact already comes to the increasing its engagement, but is already involved in the conflict around ukraine. they so continues moving towards the board is expanding its military infrastructure towards the borders. in fact, nato continues to demonstrate its essence best because nato, it was conceived as the lines it was configured, created and managed by the us as an instrument on the confrontation, primarily on the european continent problem, as well as that conflict continues, need to support ukraine. seems to be dwindling with some of them. the state stuffing to advocate for their own interests. and gary and foreign minister has openly stated that his country will not support nature's proposed volume is 100000000000 euro aid package will ukraine? so what's the reasoning behind budapest saying that, well, it's because it thinks the tax pay it should not fund military escalations symbol

candice jacobs. regarding the 100 building your support package for your crane. i would like to remind you that i made it to clear yesterday at the council meeting that hungary does not want to increase needles. coordinate role in this line of operations to participate. not only do we not participate physically, nor in the planning nor in the implementation, but we're also not willing to offer financial assistance. because if need award to accept the 100000000000, you were a package for 5 years, it would mean and not the expenditure of tens of billions for the young darren budget. and i say, once again, i'm devin taxpayers. money cannot be used for decisions that carries the risk of the military escalation. so these, meanwhile, nato, his chief, has described military support ukraine as quote and investment in the blocks of security. he's also urge the alliance members to make a tick. you have a bully, good tree, rather than voluntary i stated many, many times. that's a supportive training, so child support, it's to greatness and investment in our own security serial for to well welcomed

bolden. contribution spot in the long run, we need to be less dependent on a voluntary contributions short term. i'm more than dependent on a strong data commitments to the nature chief also found that ukraine could eventually join the blog. however, he didn't specify that timeline that his statements came is the alliance is smoking it's 75th anniversary, jobs. foreign minister who was also invited to that, but they gathering, seized the opportunity to request even more weston weaponry, particularly the us patriot. and we saw systems, european diplomats have also been debating whether or not to create a 100000000000 euros funding for long term on supplies to key f. meanwhile, we've been hearing from most goes for my own voice and nature. alexander cruz go, who's accused the block of using ukraine in a proxy will against russia. we celebrate graham and now nothing is pregnant.

ukraine is an instruments and they try to put it bluntly and straightforwardly. they took countries of waging a hybrid war against russia. a hybrid war consists of many elements. it includes, 1st and foremost, informational and audiological aspects by demonizing, russia and attributing old souls of malicious plans to us. i guess it's such a looking a bit broad now beyond ukraine's food. as i mean, we currently witnessing increased need to activity in the south coast. what's the main goal of the alliance in this region? and it does rush so already have an understanding of what specific methods the alliance will try to use to achieve this goal. when you put any money up front with me, absolutely, there is understanding, look at nato strategic documents, which the dates defined brush as a direct and immediate threat to the lines they've decided. russia is a direct and immediate right to the lines. this idea was born in their minds.

secondly, by some military construction and no nato activities, wherever they have a aged containing rush out. and this time, central asia and the south courses, also regions where russia needs to be contained frustrate can be contained primarily through the destruction of historical ties. sweet russia and dog places. bottom is what i see. the job i did has canceled plans to purchase 3000000 barrels of oil. so the us emergency reserve, this is as washington's request for kids to stop attacking russian oil refineries and mid soaring prices falls on deaf is ukraine has called the destruction of these industrial plants to be a top priority within the framework of international law within the framework of a defensive work ukraine has the right to destroy all the infrastructures that ensures the aggressor to conduct military operations. we've looked at all reclining name with the diesel and gasoline are supporting the war effort and of course the crew will continue to destroy them, since it is

a means of influencing. aside from the destruction of support facilities for places where the mobilise were military equipment are highly concentrated to support facilities such as refiners, our priority task for your training. so this since the beginning of 2020 full moving a dozen sites across russia's european parts have become prominent targets for ukrainian frames. the latest attacks hit oil refineries in hospice, in a nearby cities of samarra and st. petersburg. while the printing strikes aimed at the russian oil sector, washington was hit hardest us strategic or was of his phone to its lowest leveling force. he is with a bite and administration now cancelling those ponds to replenish it the. let's dive, move into the story now with jack rasmus economics and politics professor at st. mary's college of california for more. thanks for joining us, jack. i just want to ask you about that. washington is link these attacks by

ukraine on russian oil refineries to a spiking gluco oil prices. i think the brent crude oil is a 5 months high just ended $90.00 a barrel monthly up, a 7.7 percent. but how do you think that the strikes if impacting rushes economy as well? it's uh, pretty obvious that uh, what will happen um is less supply of oil, which means the price will go up. and what we've seen in the last couple years that is that the higher the price of the greatest oil revenue that russia is able to obtain. so it'll have of the opposite result. what's really happening here is domestic politics in the us. you say uh these events attacking these refineries, as i said, as an excuse for global oil speculators to drive up the price of oil. at the same time, they're doing it uh to raise the price of oil because of the global economy. uh,

uh, opec offer mode put the mexico there, cutting supply of, of oil production, which is driving the price up. i don't know what's going on in russia with, with these attacks is, is really the main cause for the supply issue and the price going up. but new us, so we've got the 14 percent rise of gasoline prices in 2 months. and you've got poles across the us in particularly in the sweepstakes for the election. and these polls the show 75 percent of the people are thinking flesh, it's not under control us because oil prices arise and they're going to continue to rise in the spring as a the has these global supply issues continue and us refinery, shut down their refining capacity to do right, and that's so what we've got is a lot of pressure on rising inflation in new york. each is mostly do the oil and gas lane, and that's going to continue. so, you know,

i see the attempt not to buy a strategic oil as, as an effort, a futile effort to reduce the demand for oil and try to offset some of the supply side oil price increases. because inflation is a big issue in the election here. and uh, binds, losing that battle, the people are don't believe in places under control. and now we've got these global issues and domestic issues, driving the price up even further the next couple months. and we'll come back to the electron rich environment. but i just want to ask about ukraine. we heard that just a moment ago that ukraine sees attacking russian infrastructure light, these or refineries as being one of its top priorities. is this an effective tactic as recording says it is, or is ukraine essentially biting off its nose despite its face? well, know why these, these uh terrace assaults, uh by ukraine. russia have no effect on the war. that outcome is due

to, you know, other more impressive forces going on ukraine is losing, and they're trying to make it look like they're fighting back and doing something. but the real battle they're, you know, it, eastern side and ukraine is the last. so it's kind of like a, an attempt to, to show that they're not losing it, that all comes back to getting money from the west. you mentioned a little bit earlier about the fact that the rising price of the pump in the us, i think you said up 14 percent in some places, could pay a pretty big part in the election in november. given that it seems that bite and, and trump looked like the neck and neck and the poles. how much of a problem could this be for joe biden as well? they're not, not connecting the pool side. the way the us elections work. we've got 7 swing states, arizona, nevada, georgia, and michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, sarah,

and the swing states. the terminal is the result of the election in the electoral college and apologised cannot wall street journal paul that came out and he showed the bible is behind me in all of these states except wisconsin where he's tied and 3 of the states he's way behind. but double digit, so they're not closely tied uh, and the fact that the economy does not seem to be improving any more inflation being a big issue is going to get worse. that does not bode well for biden. and then you throw our f k junior into the electronics, and these really in trouble. uh right now i think uh, you know, the odds are clearly uh, biden's mind going on when. uh, and i don't think they're gonna run the guy. i think at the convention there's, if this trunk keeps go and they're going to have to pick somebody else at the convention. will that be an interesting turn of events? if that does happen in the us, we've heard that there is this now emergency, or was of this hit 40 me in low that we heard bite and says he's not going to

replenish that stock. a give us is consuming something like a 100000000 barrels a day and night is increasing. you're reporting. yeah. it's, it's, this is something that biden is going to have to deal with whether he likes it or not. and how do you think he will deal with that as well? you know, was that was one of his tactics that he tried to show for the last several years since 21. when the price was spiked. really high. inflation was very high in the us . you don't have to look like he was doing something. so he said, well, we're gonna, you know, spend the, a strategic officers and increase the supply and that will bring the price boil down. well, it didn't really have very little effect, but the expended most of the strategic or reserve and in the process, even though it has minimal effect. and they've been trying to, you know, build it back up. but now he's using the oil reserves as an attempt to show that

he's trying to do something to bring oil down again by reducing the band. it's not a demand problem, is a supply problem. it's a global problem. and, you know, been relating demand for oil is going to have very little effect. it hasn't had much effect today, and it's going to have a minimal effect on the price of oil and inflation in the us, which is rising yes and jacket as you're saying the, the price of oil. i related to the fact that that supply is dwindling due to a numerous factors including costing of the production of oil and also the issues in the middle east. thanks very much for joining us. that was jack christmas, professor of economics and politics at st. mary's college of california. well, that's had to, as in bob way now, were stage to dissolve. the has been declared that comes and made a devastating draft that is placing the southern african nation, coupled with crippling west and sanctions. the president says,

immediate priority is to secure adequate food supply for the entire population. why are we ever been able so far to send for this food because it can you put pollution? no doubt is now component. our kind of situation with food insecurity deliveries today is beyond. as you projected 2700000 people, our pilot priority is securing food for somebody ins. the nose bubbling must succumb to or die from honda. zip was agricultural fix the faces an unprecedented challenge as president m, as in golf. glad to create a state of national disaster as a response to a severe drought that has drastically reduced from outputs in the country. this development comes off the reports of thousands of cattle dates and significant

corrupt fame is across the country, highlighting the urgent need for intervention. the seen the likes off neighboring countries like assembly i had my la we as well taking similar steps as a result of the and you know, with the phenomenon but president non golf. i mentioned that at least $2700000.00 people were expected to beat food is secure from last year, april, until the end of march of this year for the stating that assessments current to show that's about the reply as an axis. $2000000000.00 towards various into vince is but also in response to the price is going to see a to such as the roles of food programs or skipping into provide food a to to those affected by the dross. older although challenges remain in meeting the voss needs of the population. because for the longest time, we know that somebody's economy has been questioned as sustained by the agricultural. i'm sick to at some point to provide that employment and income to

more than 60 percent of the population and accounted for 40 percent off total expedite news. and it is attended to that to the is the shortage of rain in most parts of the country. but the close of all of this is move in just dropped the fast to 5 senses on some bob, which has turned an agricultural challenge into a disaster. we know that a number of agricultural programs and projects were terminated because of the sanctions and the dad and his international development agency. one of those was stopped after the composition of sanctions using bubble. it's not to mention the lack off investment in as of created, which made it very difficult for the industry to restore and invest in bits applying to machinery, as we've seen, the number of serviceable tractors the total capacity of needed units as well. so going down to alarming numbers, but despite all the effects of the legal sanctions, the government under the leadership of president, unknown golf west has not been resting in facts. and bop,

as vice president in october lost the cold or the status is and, and all that stuff around. and bob was nick, as they continued to isolate some bob with, from global sanctions, i mean from global access to capital and many other opportunities. and so for this and to that, since 2001, we estimate that zimbabwe has lost or missed over 150000000000 through frozen assets. trade in bar goes export and investment restrictions from potential bilateral support developing loans. i am f and world bank balance of payment support and commercial loans. sanctions are really hurt and seen by wins. by now, we could have gone far in terms of our economic growth isn't, but when governments continues to say it is a video message that sanctions are to blame for the forwarding and the failings of the economy and across the african continent. as all sanctions from the waste, our weapon of choice between for so they own the foreign policy goals. and once again, some bubble continues to be the brand offer to as in, baldwin,

political analyst has explained how the western sanctions been hidden during the development of the countries. i good cultural sector for years, even before that dr. ted. almost 60 percent goes above this deep page on agriculture, slaves based, no i because of, of which they are in dire need of age. they need a they need someone to support them and this is going to cancel the government besides shows you into 5. do think i mean, so in terms of use that ability to provide supports to this and by the end it may be they also don't have any access to trade use, extend my credit and so they don't have access to more and so that it keeps up with these huge population buddies, i see it's a vouch. he's also going to be midwest by the state, but everything goes is with their hands,

with goods and by which the fringes to each ultima come by city. owing to, besides shifts, they don't have enough. a big equipment in terms of making is they should. they don't have enough in terms of cultural lands. they don't have enough in terms of flows kindly and see that they need to import all be afraid to lies that would be needed. the company that provides or that produce fits levels in by with most of the my other sessions and the sessions for the past, changes to the is. so you just imagine these assets, but let's head to a wrong now with the supremely to his side, his country will make is well a towing for its strength on the re new conflict in damascus. on monday this week, which left 7 officials died with god's help we will make design is for pin for the crime of aggression against the arabian consulate in damascus, with multiple military advisors from around this islamic revolution regard. cool

with killed in his way as strikes at 2 generals were amongst the local media of also opposed to the 6 syrians civilians died following that attack. the consulate building itself was leveled during it while as well, has not yet claimed responsibility for the incident. other countries in the region have strongly condemned it focused on, has branded the strike to be a major escalation while south to your ravia. i said the targeting of diplomatic facilities was a violation of international law in an exclusive interview with all of the spokesman for the presidential body of the reigning guardian council says is well, has reached a deadlock. it was wrong with no sex recklessly to this crime. and will not agree on what the use up is on is the stablish mon, once they once a rounds reaction to be ration for the 2nd. so we will respond to this crime. a

cost strategy has always been balanced and why is in terms of reactions to similar attacks on we will set the onset, not as i spoke about the goal. so b is on his regime in the context of this aggression and argue that this occupation regime has reached a deadlock and the confrontation against hamas, islamic jihad and other opposition, groups and guns out there. also read faces difficulties in the fight against jimmy 911 on it. but this formation, which was once proud of the victory of the armies of the arab countries in 6 days, is now exhausted off to 6 months of compensation with the kind of standing groups equipped with simple military weapons. so new they boy tries to save itself by taking similar steps such as attacking other countries in order to draw the world's attention to this and to get out of a difficult situation in fact, and on the escape exporting its wall to other countries scale. so we believe that the zine is regime would have no states as enrolled in the region without the support of the us and the west. in other words,

this support is the upper rates as of occupational respiration, full prolonging the existence of the regime. we believe that the us is directly responsible for the actions of the zine, his regime, and the address all the wrong. only us message send through diplomatic channels says that the american side will not be able to escape responsibility for the murder, committed electrical on less time. visiting professor at the university of denver on dr to hit a saw, the fees is well is trying to pull more plays into it specials and that would put the whole region a risk. he says, this is an extremely escalated situation and the of knocks us madness of these really we seen is just printing the west asia on the verge of a full list bar and sport to ron. of course and all loud floor scenario has been most unwelcome auction on the table given the fact that such an option the.
