the 1st question is about amnesty international and now the united nations and their concerns over the discrimination of non ukrainian refugees . and you countries, do you think there's going to be any positive changes as a result of these public concerns? i tend to doubt it. i think that, you know, we've seen this since the beginning of the conflict. you member the video of people trying to get onto a train imogen trying to get onto a train and they kept african immigrants all to let the ukrainians on. i mean, this is, you know, the product, i think of racism that deeply ingrained in these european societies. and it's hard for me to imagine that some criticism by the un or amnesty international is going to alter that. poland is known for its conservative right wing policies and numerous scandals concerning minority rights abuses. does it look like brussels is paying enough attention to what's happening there? i think not. i mean, poland tends to get a pass, i think, because it is so staunchly pro western an anti russian ha, which you know, suits the desires of western europe. and the

amnesty international says russia blocked the crisis response team from entering the city after that tack. russia has denied carrying out the attack where amnesty says russia did not respond to letters summarizing evidence it had gathered in seeking information about potential criminal investigations. let's bring in former nato supreme allied commander retired four-star navy admiral james stavridis. great to have you with us this morning. what's your read on these stepped up attacks, clearly from russia deeper inside to ukraine, going after civilian targets, trying to spin them as oh, the mall was actually a weapons depot. it was closed at the time. that's plainly untrue because of the dead that are still being counted in that mall. what are they doing here other than showing we can still do this to you? >> they are showing us that russia is a terrorist state. they are attacking civilian population centers and it's clear that it's a part of the strategy that vladimir putin has taken to terrorize the civilian population. in some dark corner of his twisted mind he must think if he scare

as amnesty international also pointed out, the ukrainian refugees are receiving both benefits and protection from european authorities, as well as a warm reception for many residents of the you who even let ukrainian refugees stay in their homes. nigerian politician adama gobber says the welcome ukrainian refugees have received an e you compared to the treatments of those from africa and the middle east explosives, global disparities discarding between the people on those people of color that are not or people is becoming so entrenched because they've got to kind of watch them all right? if you're talking about the responsibility for the, for, for the general population of the world, if you're picking about the q responsibility to be able to manage everybody based on the issues that there might be having, we can not how ukrainian geez, running into the country, getting all to better team ended up as human beings, while the people of color, like people of africa, the middle is a blessed human in a place where they call a saloon location, which is like more julie berry. i'm the instructional b

however, amnesty international france has been working more and more on its own country on france, or because indeed, what rescinding the recent years is an erosion of different civil liberties targeting originally certain groups that extending to the whole population. notably, we seen that during protest and rings a yell of his protest where you had a very violent, a response from the police have of 3 people who were mutilated just because they were taking part in protests and thousands of injuries. it wasn't new practices in practices that existed before and expanded broader to the population in house and in the public debate. human rights fundamental freedom, civil liberties have shifted from a space of objectivism to space of belief. people in friends believe that because they are the country of human rights that these human rights are guaranteed for ever. because we are the country that prides itself on being a torch bear of free speech. we think that we are protected from infringing on the search free speech, and this is why you are as to your to situation on the ground gets wor

and it's hard for me to imagine that some criticism by the un or amnesty international is gonna alter that. poland tends to get a pass, i think, because it is so staunchly pro western an anti russian for which you know, suits the desires of western europe and the us just fine. and so they tend to turn a blind eye to, to these sorts of things saying it says that they're pretty anti migrant at this point. and i think we've seen that over time. and again, we've certainly seen it in the case of people trying to come from libya on these boats that are turned back. people been allowed to simply die in waters are headed towards your so i think. busy of this is part and parcel of very anti immigrant sentiment in europe. again though, we have to acknowledge that that is most of the refugees that are coming into europe are from conflicts that were created by europe in the united states. and i would say if you're a doesn't want refugees, they should stop engaging in wars that create refugees. and of course, even in ukraine itself, nato. there's a huge responsibility of for the conflict beginning
