the, the i cannot but agree with trump that if he's been elected president, if he has victory not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine that arose back in 2022 . lot america, who attend reiterate, spend most scores and never refuse context with washington, saying it was the by the administration that kept the door firmly closed. now does the russian leader safety help support prognostic relations with the white house? is new incumbent culture coming up in the program. the russian army swift advance, sony ukrainian stronghold and southern dunbar, split skips forces into with the loss or leaving many of its soldiers behind the hotel damage. if we look at the numbers from the past 3 years,

we will see that hungry has lost money, 19000000000 euros due to the sanctions, which translates to 7500000000000. gary and foreign on gary and prime minister lee is all i to up the use onto russia song since it's costing budapest now being that every member state is losing out those figures show despite the functions russian kalsich sports to europe have only grown since the start of the year the life are most good. this is our children are still, my name's unit only. um 30 minutes of news and use starts not a lot of america has said, if the 2020 us election have moving quote stolen from donald trump. the conflicting ukraine may never have started a student because the pressure has never refused to have contacts with the us. administration, and it is not our fault of the previous administration refused these contacts for

the current us president. i've always had business like, exclusively business like, but at the same time, pragmatic relations. and for us being, i would say, i cannot but agree with from that if he's been elected president, if his victory had not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps they would not have been the crisis in ukraine that a rose back in 2022 well watermark potent began by reiterating something he said time and time again since the beginning of russia's military operation in ukraine and dunbar fed. russia is ready to sit down half a negotiating table and come to some sort of peace agreement. but the russian president also said that ukraine stands on talks is presenting a major problem because kia has actually banned any sort of negotiations with moscow. and until it's western sponsors for us, the wednesday, the width at bands. it's going to be impossible to come to any sort of legitimate agreement and used to shoot glo, but usually with the current head of the regime in see if, when he was still a fairly legitimate head of state, issued a decree binding negotiation stuff. how can negotiations be resumes?

now if that band, if negotiations begin within the current regulatory framework, they will be strictly speaking, illegitimate. this means that the results of these negotiations can also be declared illegitimate with the current regime in kia, of excuse. the simplicity of expression is happily going up hundreds of millions of dollars, but it is in no hurry to follow the instructions of his funds as. and we know that such instructions exist to cancel a decree finding negotiations. but i think that in the end, as you pay the money to still force, keep to do this until this decree is cancelled. is quite difficult to talk about the fact that they can be solved data and most importantly, finished properly put and also said that trump predecessor joe biden, made a lot of bad decisions that ended up hurting the us economy primarily by trying to prevent russia from using the us dollar and undermining it. as a result, on the other hand, footie said that he had a, a great relationship with trump during his 1st term in the white house. he called

reading relationship between the 2 presidents and not a business like relationship and a pragmatic one. so, you know, and also said that he does not believe that trump is going to actually launch new sanctions against russia, which are inevitably going to backfire on the us economy once again. some you, or even if we hear about the possibility of introducing additional sanctions against russia, i doubt that the current president of the united states will make decisions that will harm the american economy itself. is not only a small person who's at pragmatic pass and the staff will, most likely, it's really best for us to meet based on the realities of, to dates for calmly on all those areas that are of interest to both the united states and russia. we already, that's good, that's also important. understand that donald trump says he's going to reach out to old pack to lower the global price of oil. and for his part, vladimir putin said that he has a common interest with trump in keeping the price of oil not too high and not too low because after all, right, russia and the united states are both, some of the world's biggest producers of energy and also some of the world's

biggest consumers of energy. so again, the russian president said he's ready to make a mutually beneficial agreement with the united states. but moscow is just waiting for the signals from the us. so the ball is really in the west port right now. a donald quarter, well let's turn to development style on the ground in the ukraine conflict. as russian forces advance in the heart cover region, a ukrainian torture room has allegedly being uncovered. a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. this footage was taken by a russian army unit, a said to show you printing and soldiers printed that. the russian fruit saved the victims, bodies appeared to show traces of torture and not the men could not escape because they were shackles and chains. no official comment on the investigation has been issued, but those are sort of a seen came. the soldiers may have refused to a be attack orders. in all the russian defense industry has released this video showing the destruction of abrams tank supplied by the us. one of the vehicles was

hit directly by a high precision lun cit. drone in the curse screeching with rushing m o. d also stays on the offensive on a key settlement in the done. yes. republic has split ukrainian fruits into 2 groups with more than the significance of that. here's ortiz, e versus on. the essentially we have heard to have seen reports, which we have managed to corroborate via our own sources on the ground with the fight is that the russian, the russian troops have managed to effectively split the ukrainian garrison in the town of villa nova. she will come into hobbs, which means that those ukranian troops that was stationed in the southern parts of that supplement. they have been completely cut off and encircled on the basically the only route that they could potentially use involves a crossing a river. and right now the temperatures, they have been steadily above freezing, so they can't really use it by crossing all nice because there's no ice right now

on rivers here in the don't boss. and so a congress swim across it. so the only way to get out of the situation alive is the to surrender. and this is something that the russian troops have been cooling on the ukrainian soldiers to do that. in fact, they even gave them special like breaks throughout the day during which they could use and utilize the opportunity to surrender right now. it's unclear as to how many ukrainian troops, how many ukrainian soldiers, uh, well made. i have to say the right decision and save their lives, but according to ukrainian speakers and ukrainian ex military members of the law says that the ukrainian army is sustaining. and if any kind of a soul could actually kolosso desire to show them that well know that it's impossible to evacuate the issue of what it did, that this is what the fight. just say. those who can get out themselves,

i guess out for the rest controls on the one hand or another enough pontoons. and on the other hand, everything is under 5 of the situation is developed and now is critical. the situation with personnel is also critical to finances of the $110.00 to say that with the values assigned to them, they cannot carry out. the board is and they are not enough people. there's to be not enough people who can hold a weapon for those to say that they can be transferred from other units already. this was done even earlier to last home office in the 2nd and 3rd rifle battalions . even the brigade no longer has information about those missing in action. when offices and soldiers tell me this, i understand that this has already become a system. yes, there are no people that because this everyone's from recognizance to codes from chemical and biological protection troops to drive as the throwing it into the engine free because someone needs to plug the holes. this is the use of internal reserves, but these are not reserves from internal needs. everything goes to the infantry recently they brought in people for the unsuitable. not everyone can be in the

infantry like rifleman needed now by the battalions and the brigades. one of the ukrainians had, was one of them creating an offices has suggested that and has revealed that they are looking for a ways to recruit new people. starting from the age of 18, because right now they can only full school forcefully, mobilize those who have reached the age of 25 years old. here's what he had to say . we are, we are trying to make an honest contract aimed at attracting mainly 18 to 25 year olds who are currently exempt from mobilization. it will also be targeted at ukrainians who have the right to the permit or were discharged after the mobilization law passed. i know he has specifically abstained from using the word mobilization in his speech, but again, it is unclear what are the ways ukraine has to incentivize youngsters to join the ranks. because those who were motivated they did so

a long time ago. and many of them i have to say have already perished now, but there's a solution that has been floated by one of the ukrainian john this who is said to be close to ukraine is ruling leads. who has hopefully and downright suggested that the value of human life in ukraine should be even lower. because i structural not seem to see what's going on. i believe that if we increase the value of human life, it will create a problem for us in further survival in the war. he can see it the only way for ukraine to survive. the next years of war is to lower the value of life on what time you might right now with the from, for donald trump in office. of course, a zalinski and his red knew they are trying to well to literally fights for their literally fighting for the best negotiating position the that they can guess they are fighting for leverage sofa. they are failing, despite arguing not to allow the mere zalinski should have prevented the war with

russia. donald trump has so far, refused to pressure kids into settling the crisis since he's entered the white house. instead directing his threats up. most of them do as president, has double done on his bob, economic repercussions of russia refuses to agree to peace with ukraine. i'm going to put mass line power do what. if they don't settle this war soon, like, almost a media. i'm going to put massive tariffs on russia and massive taxes and also big sanctions. and i don't want to do that. you know, i love the russian people, they're great people are t contributor chris adams is all of the few. such threats are contra productive here. says reasoning, or the rest of the economy has been pretty much totally transformed in the past. you know, 2 years since the beginning of the special miniature operation. if we look at the russian x box to the united states, it was around 80 percent oil. and some gas us input. so in russia have plummeted

since 2021. and the decline is stuttgart and 10 folds. this means only a tiny fraction of russian goods would be affected by us terrace. and the things that russia is ex bullet thing. things that the us con, produce themselves. so really i don't think we go that much to be concerned about his comments today. when allowed to punish watches allies in the call back, he labeled them as participating countries. what, what, what does he mean by that will say, implying, i say it's quite interesting at an issue as to who he's referring to every easy referring to north korea and around the houses. it's actually no trade with the united states anyway, so not exact seems like he's going to be able to hide them anymore. or perhaps he's, we're very actually to, to briggs and breaks has been really a significant apartment for russia. and it's quite a significant role in making sure that russia wasn't isolated from the international community. and it's actually nice to recalibrate sits economy. and you know, brakes didn't even up up on the rush or to even holding the last spring summer in

cars on and, and russia holding the brakes presidency at plus, we've had donald trump uh recently, you know, going, going for in the and, and, you know, telling bricks nation is that he's going to put a 100 percent tower x on then should they start in gauging in a new form of financial assistance that moves away from the, the us dominated swift system. and also the dollar rising their economies as a bricks. nation. they'll have a 100 percent tariff if they so much as even sink about doing what they thought and therefore they will give it up immediately. yeah, so as we can see more up from that. i mean, we sold the rhetoric. essentially, it's very hard if you actually look at the numbers and the overall sort of strategies going get icing past that. he's done with the strategy here where he's going to try and live reaching crane to also try and cuts hail the grades and the trading partnerships that built with brakes. and brits really, as we've seen a very true cause on, is it pretty much on stuff up to train? and if we look at, if we look at the, the balance of trade deficit,

the united states impulse fall, move things from bricks, nations and brick stations. and pull to the united states, which nations right now in coal, really things that can, can be we calibrate to just as we've seen in russia, they've been pulsing a, b ice and pots and stuff like this, which, you know, as the brick faced, it's complex. so they start working together to develop their road technologies and it's going to be more obsolete. and then looking back on the other side, the united, so the united states, virginia and bringing in breaks products. i mean, let's be honest we will night is going to be called cut off the economic power houses of china and india to do it, you know, to, to, to, if the key key players in brakes. i mean, is he's going to do that, you know, good luck america, and receiving any kind of, you know, consumer goods or sudden, you know, or even even cause to be honest. and because because you wouldn't be able to, you know that it will be up to the top, you'll have him put sanctions on the raw shot. the brakes nations responding, put sanctions on america and will, will just end up in a trifle, which i think is good for anyone. chris sam's,

not until you russian sanctions have rick topic across europe with hungry alone, taking a 19000000000 euro hit. what was the admission from the countries prime minister, who ward, and who's the you colleagues, that it is time to reconsider such policy of those animals? how to me. if we look at the numbers from the past 3 years, the money we will see that hungry has lost money out of it. see to $19000000000.00 euros due to the sanctions to which translates to $7500000000000.00 gary and far in the place is an enormous amount, much more than one old on gary and people pay an income tax to the hung gary and treasury in the future. which i'm now of course, the issue of extending the sanctions is on the agenda. and i us the european leaders to understand that this cannot continue to a clinical so it is not acceptable for hungry to pass. such costs will surely others are losing as well. that's the problem if you don't mind for the hung gary in the states or setting up a hung gary and government's side because there's at least as much well talking all

of big figures. soaring energy prices up taking center stage with you and you k spending some 750000000000 euro, the subsidized prices over the past 4 years. germany, the use biggest economy. so energy enroll material prices, sky rocket, like 80 percent last year. and if the trend continues, the bundle stock predicts the country will lose over a quarter of a trillion with a t euro by the end of the decade. well, despite the looming economic hardship, majority of european leaders continued to support funds on russian imports. but their words appear to contradict their actions. according to media reports, there's been a growth in russian, l. n g in ports with the buying more of most coast gas in the 1st 15 days of this year, considerably. then they did in the same period in 2024, it's all led to european politicians, taking

a fresh look up. the sections is something funny. i don't think the sanctions policy should be such that the one who has sanctioned suffers more than the one who imposes the sanction this all. unfortunately, in the case of the sanctions policy imposed by the european union, it is partly the opposite. the reset and relations with russia will happen regardless of what anyone thinks in poland. we live in a world of propaganda, where it is believed that the western world has definitively severed ties with russia. so this is plainly a fall. so it comes in the western world, all business and politics are waiting to return to business as usual with russia. i think i've seen them. well, i missed it. all. major european economies are feeling the heat. archie contributor rachel martin, broke down one case in point earlier with my colleague richard with as well. i mean, i could ramble off a whole lot of specifics. for example, people here are paying 20 percent more for food than they were before the ukraine complex or they're paying 40 percent more for electricity. i can just go on and on with stuff like that. never really ends and there is no end insights. but let's just face reality of what's really happening here. it's kind of like saying,

if we're gonna talk about statistics, is it really worth it? if you're, you've just been hit by a truck in your line, in the ditch with it right on top of you. or you can ask yourself, you know, how much does this thing weigh? or you just gonna say, wow, i'm in deep trouble. and i, i really need help. you think that's what the would be doing but know instead what they're doing is they're looking around with a truck on them and they're saying it is my girlfriend's lives. can you see this is um, is he really impressed with this? and meanwhile he's just saying, um, do you have a wallet somewhere in that mess did a review of that's 3 all the of the situation here in france. i think to our mindset, all of europe is suffering from the sanctions on russia. what kind of reaction do you expect of that warning from oregon? i think it actually suits them just fine that victoria bind is very frustrated with the situation and hungry. gives them a lot more power. the fact that there's no gas or their risk being no gas coming

into hungry if something happens to that church stream pipeline, which is really the last slide left for hungry at this point. means that he's going to be even more dependent on their program, which is they control the money they control what get sold out from the big slash by the all of the tax payers and other countries donate to. and also they can say, well, now's the time for you to make that green transition. and again, that's something that really allows them to turn the screws on the european citizens and the governments as well. rachel, victor, oregon is also urging his e u colleagues to pressure ukraine to reopen the gas and trends that route. so i want to play a clip of the oregon had to say 1st and i'll ask for your comments afterwards. and now the ukrainians, they messed with the on gary and even on the energy side because they weren't like gas come from russia to hungary. it wouldn't be good for us to pay on one hand to help ukraine facing economic consequences from sanctions while they are messing

with us. this is not going to work and i told my european colleagues to be strong, should you let them understand this and see we ask that they tell the ukrainians that they will restore the gas root and please open it again. this is nothing ukraine matter. if it's a question for you or i think central europe and if the ukrainians was held, for example, to sanction the russians, then here we go again. i opened the gas pipelines and please allow the central european countries including hungry, new way to import the gas. we need 3 cranes and all kinds of semi legal and legal military equipment should not be used to attack the route which is currently carrying gas. because in the meantime, attacks or targeting the russian volta pointing from which gas arrives in hungry from the south, would stop this bet. will frushell this original explain this? why haven't western allies been able to convince ukraine to take action to help out as partners? you have to wonder. that is a really interesting question. and the question that automatically pops in, in my mind is, who is you trained actually taking orders from?

is it coming out with it this all into itself? because if that was the case, you think it would be pretty easy for the european union to say, hey, look, you know, we'd love to help you and your situation and we support you and all this. but we have to put her oxygen mask on 1st or we're going to crash and you with us. so again, you have to wonder who is pulling the strings here. and i always, when you have to ask who, who benefits? i think it's a pretty obvious candidate that pops up, given that the european union has become extremely over dependent on the united states for energy, particularly at this point. so why you frame isn't listening or being reactive or responsive to the use, please to is not crash. this whole adventure, this joint venture. again, you have to wonder who's, who's whispering in his ear behind the scenes at this point. now i made the

wreckage across war torn gallons. incredible images, aren't they? people are beginning to clear the mass of debris and the hope the ongoing cease fire will allow them to finally rebuild their lights. does it in public sewer? a kept off the streets of the enclave for 15 months by the idea for now returning with security force is also patrolling roads and guarding a convoy. they say they're committed to ensuring people safety on preventing looting the mining team. and so i've also started, there were so that the display smallest, the names can return to what's left of their homes. since the agreement to end the war of genocide against our people were assigned, we have instructed police officers in various parts of guns a to take to the streets and provide comprehensive services to own people because they deserve a decent life. we have also designated them to be in public and private places for the protection of people's property. while the spread of security forces is

evident in various key areas and st, just to ensure the return of displaced persons survival in building a future. this is part of our responsibility to the citizens who sacrificed themselves and supported resistance, paying a high price for this bloody war. so we must provide them comfort and protection. i control the situation in the field and maintain order to prevent any outbreaks or by lessons that will speaking to r t the head of the palestinian ministry, or we're seeing prisoners. the 1st claimed israel was doing all the cut to delay the progress of the current from child 6 bar. as i be the israel has clearly tried to create conditions for the negotiations to fail or the rail. it has actively sought to blame the palestinians for this failure and to justify its crimes of genocide. israel has resorted to blackmail in the case of prisoners, although this was only the 1st stage of the exchange. the other prisoners will eventually be discussed in the coming negotiations. however,

it has tried to slow down the resolution of some issues. israel has the means and resources and will try to repeat the atrocities again and again to reject the symbols of the palestinian national struggles. if it were not for the serious pressure on israel from the international community, and regional states, the ceasefire in gaza would not have been agreed upon. israel, as you know, he has been inventing excuses since may 2024, to delay the tox. well, with the gallons of ceasefire knowing and force, the adf is able to focus attention on another policy and the entire tree. the westbank, the idea of offensive targeting jeanine refugee camp in the strips north is now going to a 4th day with scenes of houses, an infrastructure being demolished. there's also reports of raids in the risk coming from several of our locations across the west. people engineering, se israel wants to turn the territory into a 2nd gas

a none of the out about the we have been under siege for 4 days. we cannot move, we have children, and we are unable to provide them with food. the situation is very difficult. palestinians want peace and if his release truly wanted peace, we would have achieved it by now and how long it has been 70 years of bloodshed between us and that we simply want to live in our homeland with dignity and freedom out of nothing more, nothing less for the little slip of all night long there was showing and bonding. our homes are full of scared children. we were terrified beyond belief. they are doing to us exactly the same thing they did in gaza with displacement, exile and threats to blow up the camp. or fraud, it is real so called empty terrorist operation idea of photos years. how being film destroying westbank infrastructure impeding medical workers movements is really, is also set to bound the u. n's relief fund works agency which many policy need refugees depend on. the bottom follows accusations that some of the agencies members are affiliated with. come us on the palestinian islamic jihad grouping. our

middle east correspondent, maria and austin, met with on red ships and asked them how that work has been effect. we're now at the law, so it's that listing in refugee camps in the, in nablus, in the northern parts. although to fight westbank, it's relatively small, less than one square kilometer, but it's home to more than 2000 people. the biggest cab and these people have been living relying on it was held for decades for generations. and this is where we meet state agencies, director for westbank affairs and the director of communications. hi, is this maria? nice to meet. you were like no worries. i was at the top finder. yeah, that's tough. you're a dirt. it took a little bit longer than expected at the tech for the reason, very busy one hour, 3 hours and you own you and car this. does it make it easier for you to go through

check one. normally 2 days there's no special mission to that. in a matter of days, the agency who'd be forced to end this operation only in the west bank where we are now button gases. what will happen when the deadline comes? do you have any clear message from these readings? first of all, i wish i knew what wouldn't happen because i don't know and no one knows what really happened on the morning of the 30th of 5 of january. our commitment is to stay in the mayfair. and whether here in the, occupying the west bank or in golf, don't we stay and deliver until we come. the visas of all the international staff working for the my whole team. more than 20 international staff members and the families, the visas and only valid until next wednesday. so if there is indeed full implementation, that would mean that very likely that our international team would not be able to

oversee and manage your operations here. just a the same, it might turn into another time westbank has been doing for quite a while. it's been a more on the radar even before the 7th of october attacks underwear and garza started. so there is always. busy fear fence is going to continue to get worse and worse. what concerns us most to ask and wrong is the impacts. that's all of this house on civilians. in fact says all of this house on women and children, the impact of this time house on, on, on services. so something i was always as, as wanting something in the morning that with um, instability, violence operations. um, the more the children cannot go to school, we have 50000 children who go to another school. that's just one example. you me

a jan situation. janine is extremely difficult. journey in the city, the reference she kept there were research for almost 20000 people. have been exposed to numerous is really the security for the operations most recently to kind of sit in operations that have last to too high you minute, 10 costs, lot of suffering. one of the people was always meant to be temporary that for and we provide our services because there is no political solution to the conflict, or indeed, no visible pathway, as we speak to each are political settlements. that with then allow when a while to transfer services to a kind of city state or another kind of send an entity. and we need to have that political pathway for we don't want to be able to then based on an agreement handle that services. following the vote, which by these really paula means to outflow is operations on there was may soon seize it's 75 years of service in the west bank and gaza. if the band is an acted,

hundreds of thousands will fail. the immediate impact and the future like that till the agency itself remains on are ready for the ocean all to you are reporting from ballasa, a palestinian refugee camp in the west bank. alright, from the middle east to africa. i'm so dumb where the country is. army blamed the part of the victory rapids support forces sub deliberately setting fire to the nation's largest oil refinery. just north of the account in continuation of its criminal and hateful behavior towards the country and its people, and often forced these types in the news on all combat fronts. the terrorist melisha deliberately set fire to the costume refinery and al jelly in a desperate attempt to destroy the infrastructures of this country. of the despairing of achieving its illusions of seizing its results as in land. the r s f itself which controls the.
