a can you see through their illusions, going underground? can the breaking news moscow? ford so ukrainian and jerome strike on energy infrastructure and southern russia, hungary polls and a ton of sovereignty as the russian compressors station supplies gas to europe. through the turks stream pipeline p jeep roads to rocket propelled grenade forest by russian parts of ways to get on board. the short this move, the median west and supplies of wood personnel carry russian forces secure the on the city of the corolla and be here from locals, who saw the atrocities they say. ukraine committed their and 1000 to take to the streets of book arrest as remaining as presidential election as an old. after

a pro u candidate lost the votes and with a snap election fast approaching in germany may face a similar scenario. according to a former european commission. the i'm rachel ruble. you're watching archie international live in moscow. breaking news this hour on archie, hungry and foreign minister peter c. r. 2 has commented on ukraine's failed attack on energy infrastructure located in southern russia. the targeted gas compressors, station supplied on gross turf stream pipeline. budapest, top diplomat, said the rue is an indispensable part of central europe gas supply chain, making it security paramount. a tuck is current cable is indispensable in the natural gas supply and hungry and central europe. security of energy supply is a sovereignty matter. therefore, every action that threatens the security of all energy supply must be considered an

attack against sovereignty. let's cross live now to r t correspondent. yes, and i can who is an is symbol for more on this? yes, and what more can you tell us about the hon gary and foreign ministers statement regarding this attack on the truck stream pipeline as well, we understand there's a great deal of outrage and rightly so, because we understand the developments over the course of the past 72 hours suggests ukraine is in a position to put europe on edge, especially by sabotaging it's sovereignty with respect to energy needs. and we understand that the ministry of defense of russia issued a statement on sunday by on monday, suggesting that the ukrainians did caveat on attack. and about 9 kamikaze drones were down as a result and the compress the station in the southern rush of the part which is essentially ties into the black sea was attacked and received minor damage and nothing major was destroyed as

a result of the attack and operations were not disrupted, this is according to the energy company that is currently operating as the pipeline on the russian. and we understand that this current position or this current moment, there is a great deal. that is to be said, we understand the ministry of defense of russia issued a statement providing further detail of january 11th, 2025. the key of regime in order to stop gas supplies to european countries, attempt to do an attack using 9 aircraft type. you avi's on the infrastructure of the russian compressor station in the village of geico, the zoo and the craftsman region which supplies gas through the tucker stream pipeline. now, rachel, the reason why i confused the dates and the statements is because there was also another statement that was issued on sunday. we understand the initial statement that was provided today on monday, suggested the attack happened on saturday on sunday. the administrator for an affairs issued a statement suggesting the russian foreign minister said a good lover of as well as his turkish counterparts. minister hawkins to be done,

held a phone conversation to discuss the recent developments. so we understand, although the russian side is essentially came out and made this information public on monday, the 2 count reports that our party to this situation did meet and discuss the events on sunday. and according to the phone calls, according to the statements of the 2 leaders, all so talked about presenting actions being that cravings for the risks, for those that are involved, particularly around the block. so you particularly regarding energy security. and this is of course important because it comes at a time when many believe that the end of the tensions are escalating at this given moment with respect to energy solver. and so if we understand that there are a number of parties that are involved, we understand that the current situation, that predicament is one that is important. we understand, of course in $22020.00 to the north stream pipeline was attacked. there was reason to believe that there was sabotaged that of course, prevented russian gas exports to germany as well as the rest of the european union . and that left of course the ukraine,

florida as well. we understand that on the 1st of january, a 5 year deal essentially went down the drains when you framed refuse to settled on a new agreement and that left 2 other alternatives, the blue stream and the charge stream both run under the black sea. we understand that at this current moment, this affects of course, rush straight if i start to you. but it also affects countries that are in one sense of the word benefiting from this agreement. we understand that there are other countries such as serbia bulgaria hungry. so voc in bosnia herzegovina as well as greece that are benefiting from this. i'm going to sound that this attack is not just an attack on the pipeline, but an attack on all of these countries are currently party to this uh, this predict the hi gary informed minister peter c. r to singled out the church stream as a crucial energy supply route for europe. can you tell us a little more about the role. busy that plays well, 1st and foremost, we understand the charge stream was established by russian and turkish companies.

there was a regulation. we understand that the compressor station in southern russia, of course, leads into the black sea. and in korea code, there is a receiving station. we understand that russians are to, to that point where of course, committed to the project independently. and then we of course, take into consideration the likes are hungry, which of course helps for the project. and just from that, the current moment there is a 2nd pipeline that of course distributes the energy to the state of georgia. and another one that runs through europe meet the demands of the your opinions and be in a sense here. so at this get a moment is quite a adamant of both over this acquisition. if we had to come to the friendly pressure against the touch screen years ago, we would now be in a very, very difficult position as a landlocked country. we also understand that there is a great deal of opposition from other originally understand to do some upfront. it is sort of a piece of issue to statement suggesting that the you creating president is someone

who is on have someone who runs your big and black branding with solutions in the photos of extracting more military assistance to folks from russia. and we understand that this good position is of course i saw fish, one of the list of printers i mentioned just earlier, but one more thing that's also crucial is of course the infrastructure that was set . dogwood was found that this is an a talk on the park on some talk against russian interest, turkish interest, as well as interest of the european union. and of course, the charge stream, along with the blue stream are currently the only alternatives to thoughts of the ukrainian energy proposition, which has been refused by ukraine. time and time again. i r t 's. yes. and that can reporting for us from a stumble where we were just turning the call to prayer there behind you. always a beautiful sound. yes. and thank you. but out to the front lines where rushes defense ministry has confirmed the taking the village of pest to noah. in the west of the doughnut, square public, as trumps, continue,

as troops continued their advanced civilians are being safely evacuated deeper into russia. residents of the recently secured city to rav describe atrocities by signs, hold the former ukrainian occupation of the strategic don bescedy lawless arteries . broadcasting of imbedded with russian troops to free, the city is the 1st international correspondent reporting from the ground. there it is. early morning we are on roof to put off the box. lock is on our side. the it is warm 5 degrees. which means that if you need to in the plaza, oh,

and you drove the tool, condensation move very quickly. blow the camera. so it is incredibly evans and opposite of a credit because the most i briefly where are we and what's the situation to deal with that quote, if you could have them, we are in colorado. the situation is stands most stable. so don't bunch of square just dunn's bunch up stretched out and they'll take my head if something happens to you most high. he's battalion. come on. faith gods brigade. 51st on there. he had his units took good. awesome. well, it was a brutal yet unexpectedly quick victory. now he's charged with safeguarding and motioning deluca folk who there are so many of the

hello please. we're could i charge my phone. i saw the generator, but i don't know the way to the basement, but we'll come inside and go right here. yes. we talked about how are you holding up? young lady. young lady. no old woman. no, you're a young lady. oh boys. how are you? holding up, we're managing boys, we're managing race is the result of an attempt to ukrainian towns where they mess without bush. a normal p g launched rocket propelled grenades was by russian finds a way secret on bush destroyed this multi 1000000 west and supplied almost personnel carrier. and these are those, it will cut off your results of repeated and attempt to count of attacks

by you create in forces. so i to call one of our groups gaming quiet during the night and set up 2 entered think minds to help us in the car workshop. in the morning, the enemy decided to carry out or taishan. we woke up to the scene 200 maces down the road, another ahmed personnel carrier, and alongside the alma account was cool to sit in camouflage abandoned by ukraine's retreated. and there are many, many apologies visit. we'll have a cut off the bodies of credit and soldiers abandoned here by the retreating comrades. they are being collected, the situation is much calmer than it's usually ease off of the captive big city. it is year in the com. the city again, eas, unexpectedly, who we are currently less than an hour's walk away from ukrainian positions

you crate in phones. this is the red zone as we were told, the danger zone. but what is spending ease? this doesn't feel like the red zone. it doesn't feel like the ukrainians are mere. our way we have seen bible fields and cities. what move from are you able to walk with martin guitar 2 days ago and it is never looked like face the entire city is virtually intact. other than broken windows and busted roofs. everything else could be easily repaired, as it is a testament to how you premium resistance has weakened that ukraine's army has lost potency is new secret russian forces and now far beyond the city, pushing further and further ahead. morale is high level to him

with a ball. my call sign is to bowl. everyone here knows me. we gave those developing and we're off again. we're going forward. rise, stay strong boys. but the other surprises how many civilians choose to remain in garasco, but to risk it more and the wave russian troops, i've done it well. we waited for you for so long. the soldiers told us not to close our windows, but they'd come soon. we didn't believe it at 1st because there were incidents where they would change clothes and kill people in basements and apartments who would kill them, the ukrainians. who else? what do you mean? killed how i would just like that. we would think they were russian soldiers. we would go out to hug them. we waited for you for so long. we were so happy that you came here. so it was revenge. yes. they shot at people, because we were waiting for russia. moves for 1000 people. near enough foreclosure

of the population, choose, the risk is in stay in colorado, but hoping to greet russian troops. it is a standing figure given the research. yes. now, all of them have horror stories. they will describe the haze and the views. software the, the hands of you create the into the idea and do what do you that they would come into apartments and execute people. they would throw grenades into our chimneys. you couldn't go outside, they'd get you with drones. if you went outside to throw out trash, there would always be someone killed and injured. if you tried to get to the bodies, they'd shoot you right. there was a father and son were walking down our street and the father was killed. they then hit his body several more times. they wouldn't let anyone get close. they didn't care if it was an old woman, old man,

a woman or someone disabled. they shot us off like hairs took us through the really good sizes for what their store for what time was because we are traders because we were waiting for russia. they wouldn't even give us aid. some volunteers wanted to bring us food, but or may or told them that we are traitors, that we shouldn't be fed. not system losing their with nazis. they were obvious nazis. how could you tell? it's obvious, they'd be tattooed up the next service, they'd have the crosses and chevrons, they sold them openly at the market. aside from the swastikas, they also had feagles, but with the ukrainian trident in the middle and the source to care was that normal? how could it be normal? normal, how they told them openly at the market. they will be new mod, swastikas. nazi symbols sold in put off of a future. this changed and then the coming months. many more you crazy and

towns and cities will be the knots of fide and cleared up. zelinski is troops a regime the tables soon, many of the 2 people, what you crave, hold the ford for city of cut off, come up, fell in badly a month. the city was completely unprepared for defense and the fight that you create and pulled up was nothing close to what we have put up before more i'd gas v of see from good rock of the people's republic. are you crazy and military intelligence has released shocking video of a group of people on the russian front line, being riddled by bullets. a warning disturbing images are ahead of claims. the video shows ukrainian snipers killing a group of so called invaders near the city of pa, across, in,

don't ask for public ukraine, failed to offer any evidence about the victim, some of whom appear to be on armed, judging by the images. the, let's discuss this now with the independent that's journalist sony event and, and the uh, sonya as a war correspondent, i was wondering if there's anything about this video that seems unusual to you. yeah. when i looked at it carefully and i saw in my opinion, i saw some sort of list of a woman and an old woman who was, you know, trying to escape, i presume. so i mean, this is clearly i think our civilians and i know from the beginning already i was many times in the us. did you do ukrainians are a shooting civilians they didn't on purpose. i remember story when old man came out to fetch water and they were walking all the streets and there was shelton the nice visuals in the beginning and 2022. so i can imagine now that we are acting towards

the end of the yeah, the special military will probation up completely at the end, of course, because many villages themselves should be co credit, but they get, of course, more radicalized. so what they do. ready is applying terrorism, and this is what we see happening on the battlefield. we see it also, you know, with the drones everywhere, but especially on the battlefield because we all know that they really hates a russian speaking people that just what i heard and what i saw there. so i mean they are traitors in their opinion. so they, they should make, they want to go over the issue. this is i think, yeah, assigned to 3 are at the end of the conflict, it's nearly at the end. sonya, what would be the point of you crane releasing a video like this now, because as you, as you point out to so these victims don't even look like soldiers as well. maybe they want to somehow impress maybe they think, you know,

maybe they didn't realize that if people look at this video carefully that they don't see any soldiers who are shots, maybe or they are totally. yeah. in delusion that's it's, you know, when it's broke again, the old a bias and we are killing the russians because there are sort of so many proof of them that videos going on. i mean, it's horrible from the ukrainian sides. of course. i mean, we saw already a boat in north koreans and so on and it's been f for it. one was a russian guy, but okay, i mean, this is what they are doing. and then now they are losing that. i want they want to show to, especially maybe the west look, we are winning because we are shooting russians and now we are winning the conflict . so maybe it's crazy for more weapons or, i mean with more width. and they can also knows when, because the soldiers are not there. so i think it's something like that in their mind. according to your crime, the shooting took place to go to the city of pa, across square civilians remain or maybe trying to evacuate from how accurate can

any information be about the snipers target? see, think, i think that's very accurate because what i heard and what was uh before what i heard before is that, uh the city is, uh, you know, concret without much the resistance. we can say, i mean i was in like, full off. uh, i was in my the awful and those cities were totally destroyed. i remember that. and this city is not a totally destroyed. i think it's even insects that a lot of places i love the building. so i think uh they just do apps. i mean, they left without maybe a lot of resistance to place there. so as so we cannot think of this video is will be very accurate because i mean if they leave just like this, it's, yeah, the resistance was not very high. i mean, so if we can see it say that we're clearly near the end of the conflict, we're say new cranes, military intelligence accused of resorting to terrorist methods. do you think the

evidence of this kind of attack jeopardize any efforts to reach a negotiated ceasefire? i think so because you know, uh the terrorism is not the only in the don't both. it's also here in the most call or other city. there were a tech to come simply withdrawal. and we all remember can last, who was where it is really meant the other murders. so it's an ongoing conflicts. and now we also hear that, you know, the pipeline, the surface pipeline to key is pipeline also will be metal that tried to destroy it . so, i mean, this is all terrorism actually, and we also have the ukraine. you hit play, sale, you know, i'm on, there's a lot of journalist on it that killed your notice. so i don't think it will not end until the target of the special military operations are you know, i oh there and this is i think then we can speak of maybe yeah, ukraine should surrender. and that's, that's what i think because i think of a be still just like that's the 3 in free and the conflict would be very wrong

because you, when we see it everywhere around the world, peace deals or frozen conflicts, always slots, label. and this is a big problem. then we have a continuous war, and this is, i think that's the idea to them. this is what a to them, one of the parking suits surrender in this case of ukraine suits, surrender. alright. sonia van. and then the independent journalist sonya, thank you, thank you by the thousands of people are taken to the streets of the romanian capital to protest the cancellation of a 2nd round of voting in the countries the presidential election. that's after an independent candidate with a pro peace and antique nato position one the 1st round in november election and elements like this may soon become commonplace in the you, the former you appear in commissioner hinting that a similar scenario could play out in germany. let's wait and see what happens

and for the time being, let's keep our cool and enforced our laws in europe. we need to be aware of the risk that our laws may be circumvented, and that if they are not enforced, it could lead to interference. we did it in romania, we will obviously have to do it if necessary in germany. all right, well joining me now, the studios are t correspondence. i skipped taylors to assess, get the use guardians of democracy seem to have lost track of what the principal actually means with another election outcome in doubt. even before boats are test what's going on. so elections all st credit, but if the run can't do that, when's that? well, we're willing to be sacrilege us, but is basically the message from uh, from a friend to you, commissioner terry pretzels, who seems to be triggered by an online chat between, you know, most and one of the candidates for the job. and john salon at the a, if these alice vital is fine for the top 12 in next months election. now the act, so not hard quotes from ally has really gained bit of

a taste for politics ever since the facts, of course, the winning whole states side, but it's increasingly be looking beyond american souls and to be honest, he's been trolling politicians that they think then things like, quote, stupid questions. well, so i sent everything how it's so true to form. he did have a few words from the ship. the astounding absurdity of cherry, but i don't as tyrant of europe, tyrant of europe. wow. but no ilan musk the eu has no mechanism to nullify any election anywhere in e u. not at all. what is said in the video related only to the application of the dsa, and it's moderation obligations lost in translation or another fake news as well. some must a full knock on the solid strap probably feels quite possible because of course, we know that the video has very openly and consistently facts the alternative to job many policy. and the s d a has become a bit of a politician on process within brussels. that's been smith this fall, right?

it's under investigation for extremism in berlin. and it's supposed to dismissal it this. they say me friday really poses is to the delay. bless, ideal to cheat on things like well, well the policy has pledged but if it comes to power, it will stop on shipments to pray for example. and this message is gaining traction among significance waves of the job and public with poles, placing them at around 20 percent and they need that gap with the front run as of the race. which card ending as such website is perfect. so says get pregnant and it says that his statement was misunderstood. is there anything they could do to actually notify the election? well, if the last 2 yes, have shown us anything. it is not in this rules based on the rules are constantly changed or not even bad. we know that not everyone has to play by the so this landscape of what time and time won't be done as well. so constantly evolving. so i don't think that it's an exaggeration say that anything and everything is on the

cards, especially when mistakes solve this. hi, we are not johnny. this is be built since biggest economy and brought home was really do review. of course, this alarm and the anxiety that the you really are experiencing about the upcoming and so much in the same way actually as we saw process very noiselessly watching the 2022 general election in it to me. a my approach is that whatever a democratic government is willing to work with us, we're working together. if they go in a difficult direction, i've spoken about time movie and poland. we have tools to and if i'm not a european citizen, but i think if i was, i would sense in both of onto land and i brought homes was really an asa content,

not just been action and suffering to you, but also the will of the very people that they claim at least to represent really concerning and such get the remaining and election last year. set a precedent for these kind of actions. can you take us through the situation in the balkans? well, i think the events in bucharest at the end of last year at the very soonest edge of course to brussels, was you'll recall that nato critic catlins which esco secure the victory and the fuss round of the elections. he's upset to clinch the presidency to when suddenly it was decided that vasa had into fe, advise social media. the results were just an old and the whole process will be re run. it's important to note that no evidence has yet been provided to support any if there's nothing claims. and in fact, an investigation by a local out that has revealed that it was actually another political briefing in this whole nation, the national liberal policy, which hired a 5 to launch

a tech talk campaign promotes a particular hash tag. and it just ended up backfiring in georgia, goes to avon instead, but still has, has that a total time seemed reinstated? no, of course not eating him. the suspect felt essentially, this is a formalized coded toward the rule of law is in an induced coma. and just is subordinated to political orders, has practically lost its essence. it is no longer justice in obeys the orders. the corrupt system in romania showed its true face by making a pact with the devil. so taken altogether pots and does a much one call and help. but notice this selective approach when it comes to respecting the very bedrock of course of democracy and frustration on this issue is actually grubbing among members. when $10000000.00 us dollars was a legally channel to the hon, gary and left for the 2022 election campaign leads in brussels state,

silent when the us embassy in budapest start to distributing funding to left with media and leads in brussels, stayed silent when the hungarian parliament adopted the sovereignty protection law to prevent such further interference, the european commission sued hungry. and it only seemed inevitable that the more people, like brett home, go round saying the things that they all sang, the move that trusted institutions and governments of pulls will be on the mind. because instances like this really cost our over whom exactly will these bureaucrats. so representing, and all that preaching about democracy. well, if you don't live by the values that you preach, then you'll nothing but a coal mine. i'm precedent like you will use the word preston, precedence. very dangerous thing because of the risk of course, of founding a dramatic, it really is just escaping a whole from counseling one election to counseling an x. well, right. our teeth correspondence tests get taylor sounds good. thank you. all right,

well there stay with us here on our team. international will be back with much more news in about half an hour. i'll see you then by the the know, greetings come pick. you tend to be in the business. come on, what's going on, but you're not going but the share, the thing that i should as a female, i didn't that's why it was the last name in law.
