it was the so-called russian sea, but why dinosaurs began to mutate, it was just that in our territoryn the jurassic and cretaceous times the meridional flow of water masses passed into the basin of the sea north and from the south, and these water masses were found on the territory of modern tatarstan, the ulyanovsk region and e , saratov regions, the meeting of cold and warm flows of water masses led to the fact that on the border of their confluence, the animal world was transformed and acquired new amazing shapes. so they appeared. dorosaurs the volga e washed out with its channel these remnants of the russian sea, that is, it simply followed the beaten path the remains of mutant ichthyosaurs. for many millennia, they accumulated here, filled the empty tombs of the amish and became stone. several million years after the floating monsters disappeared from this land, the great volga, forming its channel, lifted the ancient layers up and the memory of the mutated lizards returned to this land. jurassic laid uh huge potential. uh, in the depths of the undors later , a man. take care of

there are still other russian ships in the black sea, _ like? ssian ships in the black sea, but - like? there are still other russian ships in the black sea, but this i like? there are still other russian. ships in the black sea, but this was the flagship. this ship had significant firepower. it has been used to launch cruise missiles into ukraine. they are going to miss it, they are certainly going to miss it was like dan, it's good to talk to you, talking to us from the washington post. the grandmother of a british man who has been captured in ukraine says she's horrified by images of him being shown on russian tv, and has called for him to be treated humanely. aiden aslin was fighting with ukrainian forces in the besieged city of mariupol, when he told family he was having to surrender to russian forces. here's our correspondent emma vardy. if you're watching this, it means that we've surrendered. the last words to loved ones from within one of the desperate places on earth. we ran out of ammunition. didn't really have any other choice other t

not mistaken, uh, they too are without a crew, uh, the russians also fired at them, but they periodically have their compote hangs around the black seahey periodically appear on the horizon. thank god it was really them and not russian ships, but today we have enough resources to prevent this amphibious assault from landing, so, actually, about the millennium spirit tanker. you probably talked about it and forgive yes yes yes yes yaki were also fired upon by the way the day before and it was reported that they were seen on the horizon at sea, mr. serhiu, and regarding the presence of mines in the sea, we see that, well, there was at least one case when a sea mine was carried out on coast, what should citizens do in such a case if they notice them and is there any danger that they may explode near the coast, in fact, two mines of this type were brought to the shore, and the mine was near the coast of turkey, there they were already here and they were working on this demining also, a change has emerged near the coast of romania, we know this is a huge problem created by the russians, they threw the sea area there in march, they threw m

yes, only then we will equip it, but for now there will be an internal azov sea ​​of ​​the inner russian seak sea coast is beautiful. and how far will be the coastline of russia well, let's look endlessly russia just stands in the fact that that new world is a wonderful world that arose as a result of this transformation. it will be the world in its own russian way. this is the russian world. if you want, right now the world is american, we must come to the world russian. in the best sense, this does not mean that we will impose on someone, but we will have our own place, which they themselves will take us from it to this place is not allowed. we must take it ourselves. and you wanted the second moment, so that you don't forget, you wanted more about yes, now the second illusion, the contract? yes, about negotiations about ukraine, here again . eh, we all lived in this myth at first, everyone was frightened. what are these negotiations? then they kind of tell us, listen, well, negotiations are a normal thing, all warriors end in negotiations. and we want peace we want no war but peace at all

from it is interesting is that because the mock price supposed to be the flagship of the fabled russian black sea fleet. how much of a setback could this be for russia, objectives of lang, sage, to and taking the port city about desa? because that would be a huge prize for the russians. that's a really good point because it just was one of the cities that have sort of fall into the russian cross has as being possibly targeted. but i really feel that with rushes shifting is ground war emphasis to the don't bass and east eastern new crime . the city like a desk which much further west actually quite close to romania. now really sitting beyond the russian military cross to credibly assault. and i don't necessarily think it would be a big blow to russia ground up in don't boss, because i can't really see russia mounting. maritime little assaults in the future of this conflict is one final point on the sort of the importance of this particular vessel. and the black sea fleet was below, for very long time in features of this conflict a lot which this incident really brings to the, the full front is, wa

there's concern about the damage on the ship in the russian sea. ia saying it was ammunitions fire. u.s. officials cannot confirm the cause of the damage but they believe the ship may not be heading to the crimen coast for repair. as ukraine warns russian forces are moving rapidly to replenish ammo in towns between the eastern donbas region and mariupol, ahead of a major russian offensive that could include 10s of thousands of additional troops. as finland and sweden are announcing they may only be weeks away because of the russian invasion of ukraine. the kremlin is warning if they abandoned their mutual status, they will be registered opponents of russia. and it could be moments away from the initial court appearance for 62-year-old subway shooting suspect, frank james, after his wednesday arrest in manhattan's east village. he face as federal charge for attacking passengers in a mass transit system. and joining us outside the court house and justice correspondent, pete williams. what do we expect from the initial appearance? >> that's right word,

sea. and so far, the russian black sea fleet has remained intact. but now of the ukraine, particularly receiving the weapons more and more from the nato countries. we can see that now there's watches are coming under range of the weapons that are being used by you frame us national security, advisor drake sullivan says, whatever the cause losing the ship is bad news, the russia. so we'd been in touch with the craniums overnight. who had said that they struck the ship with the ship missiles. we don't have the capacity at this point to independently verify that. but certainly the way that this unfolded, it's a big blow to russia. they, this is their flagship, the moscow. and they have now been forced to admit that it has been badly damaged and they've had to kind of choose between 2 stories. one story is that it was just incompetent and the other was that they came under attack. and neither is a particular good outcome to them. another name is randy. military is accused of launching several strikes on areas in and around damascus. sir, in state media

sea. so make that very clear on they were cut off because the russians have blockaded from the sea there to support. so what we have our ships here in dry dock of the oil facilities and oil storage facilities which are now in fire by me. um, of course are strategic. but um it doesn't change the situation that ukraine was already blockaded from the sea. the fact of the matter is that many people are talking about a possible land invasion from the sea, a marine invasion from the sea, from the sea, by russian forces. and that's impossible. it's possible, i guess anything is possible because nothing has been predictable in this work. but um, this is a city of catacombs of tunnels underneath, through limestone, it's extremely well fortified prepared. and i think people have been expecting this for the most part. well thank you so much, lauren sheets. they are obviously a man who is highly in demand because you've been reporting on the military situation for the past 2 weeks. thank you so much for your time. thank you. and here's a quick look at some other stories related to the war we've been fo

the war ship moscow, the flagship of the russian black sea fleet has been badly damaged after an explosion. russian defense ministry set a fire caused ammunition to detonate. didn't say what caused the blaze, but did say the entire crew of 500 sailors had been evacuated. however, ukrainian officials claim 2 of their missiles hit the ship despite vladimir putin to claim that peace talks with keith or at a dead end. austria's chance they're called they hammer says he believes there is this lim, window of opportunity. they hammer met with both ukrainian president low to mid lensky and russian placement vladimir putin in recent days. in an interview. the hammer said both are in a war time state of mind, but both know that it has to end at some point. the big question will be, is a face saving end to this war for both sides still possible. talks between ukraine and russia appeared deadlock and for perspective on how to break that log jam. we spoke to andrew gilmore, who is a former, you an assistant secretary general for human rights and executive director of the burg hot foundation in berlin.

of ​​the black sea data of the russian black sea fleet, e russians said at the beginning that they would send additional military transport aircraft there with equipment and were encouraged by what the ukrainian side absolutely logically correctly said that all these ports will be shot down and only they will fall into the zone of action of ukrainian air defense systems. thank you taras . political scientist, address , welcome to eastern europe, the german bundestag burned down the provision of heavy weapons to ukraine, what was the last argument, and what is the current situation with germany's support for ukraine, well, at the level of people, not only politicians" you now asked about the support of uh people yes yes yes yes well and in light of the approved provision of heavy weapons to ukraine by the last buddhiststag first of all i apologize that i will speak in russian so it will be faster uh, the society about this heavy weapon is as if separate in its support uh and uh , while there was still a majority for the weapon of choice, now

well the warship, musk about the flagship of the russian black sea fleet has been badly damaged after an explosion, the russian defense ministry said a fire caused a ammunition to that night. it didn't say what caused the blaze, but did say the entire crew of 500 siders had been evacuated. however, ukrainian officials claim 2 of their missiles hit the ship. i'm now joined by military analyst and former general in the u. k armed forces. chris devereaux, chris, thank you for joining us here on d. w. and 1st of all, i want to talk about the russian black c fleet flagship moscow. russia admits a court fire, but says it was an ammunition explosion and accidents will say, ukraine says it, stroke the mosque of a with to me cells. what do you think is more likely? well, actually, but it could be true. it could be the case that you couldn't miss. i was struck the ship which caused an ammunition explosion. that's a distinct possibility. i think that the evidence is that the koreans did take into service with the credit navy last year and upgraded ex soviet michelle. cool. next june, maximum ran

now this flagship of the russian black sea fleet has apparently been sunk. rainian government is claiming that the ship sunk after it was hit by a ukrainian-made neptune anti-ship missile. the russian version of the story is that that is not why the sink sunk. it sunk to a fire, due to hull damage due to the dell nation of ammunition. the united states has not confirmed either version of events but it has had an effect on the state of play in the black sea. one senior defense official told reporters that a half dozen russian ships in the black sea moved out to sea, farther off the ukrainian coast after the moskva was hit and not the sort of thing you would do if the ship went down if somebody was smoking in the ammunition room and why it would it cause you to to move ships further offshore and that wouldn't solve the problem if you guys started a fire on your own ship. and the russias are trying to save face by denying it was the ukrainians who sunk it but either way the damage is done and the ship is gone and if you think about for a second how they are tryi

fleet in the black sea and it is clear that turkey restricts the entry or closed the entry of the russiansorus and their warships are really critical, staying in the black sea without access to the bosphorus is this advantage that the russian federation is currently demonstrating in the black sea in the war against ukraine, as far as this advantage can be critical for the same turkey, because turkey can completely look at this situation in a mirror, as the russians from the black sea are shelling not only military objects and not only infrastructure objects on the territory of ukraine, but also peaceful cities обстрелые мирных мест это э and mines and shelling with a column of three were here at the beginning, i am sailing to see where the wars of the civil courts that came under attack a-and it is obvious that the waters of the black sea are also a small theater of military action relative to when dozens of war courts are conducting war with such an intensity, of course, it will keep tension on all the maritime states that are located, and, well, they have access to these water areas, eh,

_ of the russian black sea fleet. what do we know? yes _ of the russian black sea fleet. er cruiser that can launch enormous attacks and led the russian black sea fleet onto the ukrainian coast at the start of the evasion. the russians admitted it has been severely damaged. they have had to evacuate the crew believed to be 500 soldiers. russia is saying a fire started on board that sparked ammunition on board the ship. ukraine claims that was the result of its missile attacks and it was able to hit the ship. we do not have independent verification of what has happened. it will be embarrassing for the russians to have an important ship out of action and a symbolic victory for ukraine, because this was the ship that first approached a ukrainian outcrop in the black sea and it became quite famous across ukraine because having told ukrainian border guards on the outcrop to surrender, their response to the crew of the ship was in no uncertain terms go away. the regional governor in 0desa says the ship has finally done what the border guards told it it should do. this is the 50t

well now, this flagship of the russian black sea fleet has apparently been sunk. nment is claiming that the ships sunk after was hit by ukrainian made neptune anti ship missile. the russian version of the story is that this is and why the ships sunk, it's sunk due to a fire. due to, quote, hold that mitch received ring of fire, from the detonation of ammunition. the united states has reportedly not confirmed either version of events. but it's already had a practical event on the state of playing in the black sea. one senior defense official told reporters that about half a dozen russian ships in the black sea move themselves farther out to sea, farther off the ukrainian coast after the moscow was hit. if you think about it, it's not the sort of thing you would do if the moskva went down because somebody was like smoking in the ammunition room, right? why would that's catastrophe on board your flagship vessel cause you to move all of the other ships further offshore? that would solve the problem if you guys just started a fire on board your own ship. and the russian

after 50 days under attack, ukraine claims a major victory at sea, the sinking of a russian guided missile cruiser. russia admits his black sea flag ship, the mosque was sunk while being towed to port after explosions on board. but ukraine says it's miss isles took out the ship. also coming up, they asked, what are you taking here? he said a grade for my dog. they told him this is your grade now. and i just shot him. more reports of atrocities committed by retreating russian troops. our reporter meets survivors in the destroyed town of my car, if near keith and the german police say they foiled the plot to blow up a power station and kidnap a government minister. there were alleging germany's health minister was on the target list of a group of domestic terrorist because of his strict corona virus control measures. ah, mixed by sir, welcome to the program. it's now more than 50 days since russia launched its invasion of ukraine in his nightly video address, president volota mirrors, lensky praised the ukrainian people for surviving so long under relentless attack. ukraine is also claiming

this is bbc news, the headlines: russian state media is reporting that the most important ship in russia's black sea russian defence ministry, interfax says the crew had all been evacuated and an investigation is underway. president biden says the evidence appears to suggest, that russia is committing genocide in ukraine. the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court has described the country as a crime scene. karim khan was speaking in bucha, a town outside kyiv where hundreds of civilians were killed. ukraine's defence minister says ukrainian fighters are continuing to defend mariupol.

sea. little reported in this conflict is three ships have been shot and damaged by the russians going in andut of ports in the north sea. >> militarily also a huge impact. this should was a part of a huge bubble that russia was trying to impose on the whole north sea. little reported in this content -- this context are three ships have been shot and damaged by the russians going in and out of ports in the north sea. commercial ships flagged outside nato and one of them i believe was flagged. russia has been imposing itself in the black sea and this should with the centerpiece of russia being able to impose its position over the ports. and if russia was going to do anything from the sea against odessa or to go in and shell again and mary opal --mariupol this chute would be on the --. >> are you saying the russian navy needs to be taken out --? >> their ability to defend in the north should there ever be a challenge has definitely lessened. >> hanna, there has been much debate in the united states of support sent to ukraine. what support would you like the biden administration to send ukraine

a fire has seriously damaged the warship, moskva, the flagship of the russian black sea fleet. ukraine says it hit the vessel with anti ship missiles, the russian defense ministry said a fire caused ammunition to dance detonate but declined to state a cause of the fire. the 500 crew members are reportedly safe. as it turned out, this new ukrainian postage stamp with prophetic, and veiled only yesterday by president vladimir zalinski on his instagram page. with a message, the russian warship always has only one direction. the moscow came to prominence at the start of the war being told to go f itself when he tried to capture ukraine, snake island in the black sea. oh, i really just last month, the man behind those words was awarded a metal for his bravery. initially fit killed, he and the soldiers were taken captive before being freed and a prisoner exchange. the moscow with the main ship in russia's black sea fleet, armed with 16 cruise missiles, as well as a long range air defense system. if you cranes claim is true, that defense system appears to have failed catastrophically. here ar

ukraine says an antiship missile sanction the lead warship in russia's black sea fleet. the russianistry says the ship sank while being towed to port because of an unexplained fire. it has not confirmed the ukrainian missile strike. either way, this marks a loss for russian president vladimir putin's military as it tries to refocus and regroup ahead of an expected offensive in eastern ukraine. meanwhile, european leaders are drafting a resolution that would ban al oil imports from russia. we have a lot to bring you tonight, and we will start with cbs' chris livesay from kyiv. chris, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, major. a senior u.s. defense official says the it flagship of russia's black sea fleet suffered an explosion when it was 60 miles off the coast of odessa. now, it can't confirm if ukraine struck it with its own missiles, but it was well within range. a shoo russia, its powerhouse on the black sea now sunk. the pride of the russian navy, the warship requested "moskva"" was part of the athlete terridessing the ukrainian coast. and with supersonic missile launchers,

russian troops. the changes are located in the black sea 120 km from odessa, and it was from this island that at the nvasion, the ukrainian military indicated the direction to surrender to a russian warship in the black sea appeal zone by our forces . damage was inflicted on enemy positions on snake island , a hit was recorded at the zenit destruction control point on the strela 10 missile complex the losses of the russian troops are being clarified, the ship groups of the enemy's fleet have been reformatted, the age of the decrease, well , we are discussing the situation on the front line with a military expert, we are in touch with ivan stupak, a military expert of the ukrainian institute of the future, eh, i congratulate you. well, let's talk about this attack on the island of snake in your opinion, this does not make any military sense. is it just to increase combat operations? well, let's say that our military , uh, had something to do in order to simply increase our morale, so they do all kinds of things which are logical, adequate, consistent and have some meaning, so i am sure that soon we wi

ukrainians have shrunk since the beginning of the war, and it is the flagship of the russian fleet in the black seaerms of propaganda value and prestige, it is a serious blow to the russians. more than that, more than just th prestige below that they have suffered, it is a serious concern for the russian ships operating in the black sea who are considering the possibility of an in pbs assault on the major ukrainian border. they have to think twice now about how they go about that. knowing that they are in full range of ukrainian sure cruise missiles. and not only that, the missiles that appear to have struck the mosmoskva were ukrainian missiles, brought into service a year ago. the ukrainians are now taking orders of british missiles being sent by the british government following the british prime minister's visit a few days ago, ship missis, anti-ship missiles, which could change the equation considerably. ukrainian neptune results can hit the ships. these missiles they are taking a hold off in the next few days will be far more dangerous still. wassim: this is such a major development. rob perso

in truth, the russian amphibious capability even though it has been reinforced within the black sea, t is not very large scale. russian amphibious tends to use fairly small amphibious landings in concert with an overland ground attack. what we have seen over the last few weeks as the russians mainly what we call demonstrating their ability to land in the vicinity of 0desa, partly to hold ukrainian defenders in the vicinity of 0desa, with the apparent ability of 0desa, with the apparent ability of the ukrainians to hit russian naval vessels within at least 60 miles, but because i think that is what the slava was act, any attempt at a russian amphibious operation against 0desa is really very, very dangerous and probably out of the question. dangerous and probably out of the cuestion. , , ., question. very interesting to get our question. very interesting to get your thoughts- — ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky says european countries that continue to buy oil from russia are aiding the country's war against them — and they will have blood on their hands. he's urged western leaders

be going too far if we were to say the northern areas of the backs -- the black sea were not contested. that the russians had freedom of maneuver clearly inside the black sea. i think that would be going too far. for a couple of reasons. the ukrainian navy although small, it still has operating craft. they do have coastal defense capabilities. we are offering some coastal defense. number three, we know that minds have been affected south of odessa and that some of those minds could be free-floating and therefore not more to a specific area. that could affect the navy's ability to freely maneuver and that maritime space. from just a purely naval perspective, the russians have superiority in the black sea to the ukrainians, more ships, more firepower, certainly more naval capability. we would not assess that they have achieved complete freedom of movement. they have used the maritime environment to pin down ukrainian armed forces. >> wendy embassy was moved there, -- are they still with the contingent of the you estimate in poland? >> i can't say how much of the ukraine security detachment is with this dis

i think it's a real warning to the russians, stay away from the sea and the fact the russians are taking revenge on it sort of counteracts their propaganda story that it was an accident, doesn't it? >> right. >> they're having some problem with their information warfare. >> thank you for your expertise. it's always nice to see you. >> thank you. >>> some breaking news we want to talk about out of south carolina. police in columbia saying a dozen people are injured after a shooting at a shopping mall. here is what we know now. police put out a tweet saying they were responding to shots fired at the mall about ten miles from downtown columbia. about an hour later the lexington county police department said it was setting up a reunification area nearby for anyone with loved ones caught up in the incident. police saying there are no fatalities. three people have been detained. we'll continue to keep our eye on that. >>> still to come, new york city on high alert for new covid subvariants as the u.s. sees cases and hospitalizations tick up. could mask mandates make a comeback? we're live in n

sea . and so far, the russian black sea fleet had remained intact. but now after the ukraine, particularly receiving the weapons more and more from the nato countries, we can see that now the watches are coming under the range of the weapons that are being used by ukraine. which advice says a defense and security analyst at wiki, strapped to a global risk consultancy? he thinks the damaging of the ship indicates, the ukraine, good capabilities that had probably not been anticipated by russia. we've seen ukrainians make excellent use of defensive missiles. they been able to use air defense nestles to shoot down many russian planes and helicopters and therefore 4th russian air force, basically to focus its flying over russian territory and then launched missiles from, from there. they've also use these very effectively in terms of shooting and killing russian armor, personnel carriers and tanks that played a major role in defense care of. and if they shot a rock and killed a russian ship with some an anti ship methyl that a new capability, they are dem

the sea of azov, northern black sea, is that considered contested? in russian hands? nvironment? >> the maritime environment. >> i think -- you would be going too far if you said -- or we were to say that the northern areas of the black sea were not contested. that the russians had freedom of maneuver completely inside the black sea. i think that would be going too far. for a couple of reasons. one, the ukrainian navy, though small, still has operating craft. two, they do have coastal defense capabilities. you saw the brits giving them some coastal defense missile capabilities. we in the latest package are offering them some coastal defense -- unmanned surface capability. and, three, the issue of mines. we know that mines have been a factor, particularly south of od odesa. some of those mines could be free floating. therefore not moored to a specific area and could affect a navy's ability to freely maneuver in that maritime space. so while they certainly -- from just a purely naval perspective, the russians have superiority in the black sea to the ukrainians, more ship
