we have seen that in ukraine, syria. russia uses and then corrupts the notion of peace with one sole purpose. rebuild, reconstitute, and then attack again. host: you mentioned, you spent years in eastern ukraine. what were you doing there? guest: my family is originally from donbass. i can speak to on the ground experiences. host: how long have you been in the u.s., how long have you been studying these issues? guest: i'm a proud american. i've been with the institute since about 2015, have lived and studied in the u.s. in high school, also did my masters degree in the united states. so, for many years. host: how we got here with russia, the kremlin worldview. when was it published? guest: 2019. it was a recognition that we needed to look deeper at russia's objectives over time. it was an effort to counter the russian misinformation, that everything that russia does is because they are being provoked. it is to document putin's speeches, actions of the kremlin, to show a lot of the efforts to once again control the countries in

you can either condemn russia for invading ukraine or you can stay on the fans or you can see no, russia did not for us to be clean, which will be a very interesting side. let me bring you to this point that germany's foreign minister on another book recently made this statement and i quote, a case, you see, justice and injustice and aggressor and a victim neutrality is not an option because then you are standing on the side of the aggressor is that a fair statement? it seems to suggest with this statement that said, africa is support in russia invasion of ukraine. what do you say to that? again brings me back to the various levels of analysis that one can apply to the war. so in one sense, there's been a great sense of a position by country like south africa to this idea of being pressured into taking a tense. they deal of an alignment by its very nature is a justifiable foreign policy stance by all accounts. so when countries in the collective west, through such statements seem to suggest that the, the, the, almost one to use that members to push countries into taking stance, it's sort

has criticized the timing over the anniversary of russia invading ukraine. but the south african defense minister told npr that south africa wanted respect for its positions and his wishes. it also abstained in the un vote against russia. the ukraine was shows how african countries are on a tightrope between acting independently, while at the same time, keeping the allies they want and need to help us understand the position of some african countries who abstained from condemning russia for its bore in ukraine. i am now joined by faith, my bearer, foreign policy, and you politics aspects based in victoria side, africa. hello faith. thanks for joining us now. so africa did not condemn russia. how do you justify that? thank you. any, let us festivals can this into that. as you are marking the one year of the russia ukraine wall. so that because position on the conflict can be designed through a range of development. and i think the most important starting point in this regard was the one that we saw shortly after the russian began what it called it special mili

support of russia and ukraine.— russia and ukraine. nd ukraine. it's hard to talk about this _ russia and ukraine. it's hard to talk about this relationship - russia and ukraine. it's hard to . talk about this relationship without talking about taiwan? right. when you look at this through what's happening with the taiwan relations, how important do you think beijing is looking at this entire situation and gleaming lessons for itself's it's very important because even though the two cases, ukraine and taiwan are very different that they have one important feature in common. both of them have to do with great power confrontation. not only ukraine it's russia against the west. in taiwan it's a big problem, it will be about great power rivalry between china and the united states. so i think china is observing, china is watching the war in ukraine quite carefully, especially how far the west is willing to go in supporting ukraine and what options russia has. but also, china is trying to assess its relationship with russia to cash the check a

you are with ukraine are you with russia. no neutral position when it comes to genocide and terrorism. caller: he is wrong. that is everything in the trust administration is wrong. he would have never went over to ukraine. yet to look at what joe biden did. he went over there. he gave his life and went on a train. he could've got bombed. there's about a problem there. it is being taken care of. the judge -- people went there in east palestine, ohio. it is going to be dealt with. i know how bad they are suffering there. my heart goes out to them all the time. but you cannot not the president of the united states over everything. it is the same when chuck got in there. i at least asked respected him. i do not like him. i see a lot of people being brainwashed right now. i do not like it. i do not like how we got away from being a loving country. if we do not sustain in ukraine and help those people out, they will get slaughtered. host: roy in melbourne, florida. this is the column today, classroom today -- contrary today, the in

russia. the french president also said that even if there is a dialogue between ukraine and russia, kerman, the olympic speaker. be done the conditions of this possible dialogue with ukraine should be determined, and for this reason , it should equip ukraine as much as possible . i am talking about the meeting and discussion, mr. dr. fethullah kalantari, an expert on international issues . hello, good time. welcome. greetings and polite greetings to your excellency and the esteemed viewers of khabar network. i would like to congratulate the islamic world and the nation of your country, mr. kalantari. the beginning of the formation of the meeting munich was for peace, but now we have that the main focus of this meeting is the ukrainian war dance, that the munich security meeting and its existential philosophy is going away. what is your assessment and analysis? the aim is to provide diplomatic solutions to solve the challenges of insecurity and to eliminate anti-security issues in the international community, but today we see that the action of this meeting has turned into a war room instead of

>> the one-year mark of russia's invasion of ukraine stands as a milestone for the people of ukraine and for the international community. that invasion is an affront to our collective conscious, are violations of the united nations charter and international law. amy: it has been one year since russia invaded ukraine, triggering a humanitarian crisis and a war that has impacted the globe. more than 8000 civilians have been killed. over 8 million refugees have fled ukraine. and the fighting continues. we will spend the hour looking at ukraine a year after the invasion, as well as the war's impact on africa and on russian-chinese relations as china's top diomat meets vladimir putin in moscow. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. israel's military has bombed parts of the gaza strip after palestinian militants fired rockets at southern israel overnight. the israeli air strikes targeted the al-shati refugee camp northwest of gaza city, which is among one of the most densely populated areas of the besieged pales

this war, it is not a war between russia and ukraine. rica, and we give the support from the sky, because we remember bombarding and that. interesting. actually, it is a very sad story, but kosovo now, who has the base in kosovo? america. christopher hill is the us ambassador. he has been involved in the balkans for decades. i was speaking to a souvenir seller this morning called vlad, and he was selling z t—shirts and president putin riding a bear, and putin mugs, and i said to him, "why are you selling this stuff?" his answer was not that we love putin, his answer was that because he is against america. i am not sure i can make vlad happy on this, but i think a lot of serbs have come to understand that the us is in their corner. no question that this bombing in 1999 plays for serbs like it was just yesterday, but when you look at the degree to which serbs have welcomed american investment in serbia, if you look at the degree to which serbs are engaged in american culture, american sports, i think you will see among serbs a sense that am

it's ukraine, proxy war against russia? how does such a position benefit ukraine instead of considering possible peace agreements? the west led by washington seems to seem war is the only option. why can't there be security for all.

that doesn't mean i agree with russia's invasion ukraine. absolutely don't. but we need to see an article recently in the national interest in which i stated that the american needs to have more strategic empathy for russia . if we were to put ourselves in russia shoes and texas were to become independent right. allied with russia and china, we would invade bomb and internets, all texas, and call it defensive war. and much the same way in russia sees this as i understand it as a pre preemptive or rather preventative war to prevent ukraine from a boy from a faculty member to a full member of nato. and i think that's, that's absolutely in russia's, you know, legitimate national interest to do and in, we have to recognize russia as legitimate security concern as if we were ever to, to end, as you know, this caught ongoing conflict with the russian federation. now, you mentioned our present putin being at a rational decision maker. and i want to ask you about president biden, and i would never dare to ask such a question about the private citizen, but he is not a

in fact, it would be 2 of the war. russia, these terms are to ukraine, which lensky quickly, you know, immediately accepted russia's offer to begin negotiating. so essentially that was that all russian troops would leave the dog boss street, leave all of ukraine, but of course crimea, which is part of russian the dom bus region in exchange for peace in raleigh. and they actually came to a tenant agreement, march 31st, assemble in with russia. brutus community piece by withdrawing from 3 and o boston in oregon, ukraine. and then us responded by escalating and telling those lisky not to except negotiations anymore. i would like to ask you about the, how you see the desired outcome of the crusade that they biden administration is waiting. what is the ultimate goal here to punish russia and if so, what does it mean? does it mean, you know, teaching russia, lesson, converting, rushing america's image, or perhaps raising russia of the map? and if that's the case, i mean, in practical terms, what do they actually want to achieve? you know, i mean, there's been so many different statements ma

for a year after russia invaded ukraine. it has seen serious setbacks. ukraine is holding on, but the price is high. many subsist in a landscape of craters and ruins. thousands of ukrainian civilians have been murdered, women raked children deported over 8000000 refugees.

do we have a false impression ukraine and russia are the only countries who can produce the grain that global market requires? there hasn't been so much of a shudder in the asia-pacific. >> if i may go back, the question about ukraine, and production increases, getting nervous because their production increases, it is good to increase in a sustainable matter. the same applies as it applies for open crops. the livelihood to farmers and others -- but the sustainability consideration, it is crucial. we have seen when it was produced many years ago. the production -- in terms of ukraine and russia, ukraine and russia are two very important, significant producers of cereals, particularly wheat, and vegetable oils. last year, we had not seen that much of him, there was a decline. the end of february, -- >> we know that part of the history. what i want to know is why we have this idea that we are relying on ukraine and on russia. countries such as indonesia -- there is this idea in the public persona that we are all going to starve. that is not the case. people in asia-pacific are not panicki

why does china keep supporting russia over ukraine? especially given the china appears to acknowledge that russia has violated ukraine's territory integrity. listen to what former cuddle in the chinese military jo bore said to d dub news chief international editor richard walker over the weekend on the sidelines of the munich security conference. while china as a country that he's not fully re united, to certainly even more concerned with this, the issue with sovereignty. so we understand how sovereignty matters really be in china or in the rest of the world and talking about this wall. i'm sure mister y me is referring to the law ukraine and climate clearly. i believe this is a violation of a sovereignty of one country by one country. but another. yeah, this is, this is clear, but i think it china sold this issue, but just, just to go that be the further to the root cause is because you talk about a murder investigation always started from murder. but actually the matter was the plan a long time ago. so because we have some sympathy wi

ukraine? how did russia respond. they took crimea back. we took 100% of ukraine. said russia started the war when they took back ukraine. when they took back crimea. why did they take back crimea? that is where the russian navy was. they are not about to give up the entire russian navy because of our coup in 2014. we started the war. it has been raging for nine years. let me say one thing. we blew up the nord stream pipeline. it has been exposed by seymour hersh. it is an act of war. we blew up that pipeline. it belonged to russia and germany. we started this war. host: that is richard in new york. this is john in florida. line for democrats. caller: i have to agree with my fellow americans. our role in this war, we should not be involved at all. i would like to focus on the reasons why we are going over there. you see the president talking about freedom. we have heard this argument since vietnam. they try to scare the american public. in the vietnam war they were saying the domino theory. then fast forward to the iraq war, where george bush was saying if we do no

one year ago, russia are attacked ukraine from 3 sides. in the north army from russian occupy crimea, russia's navy also attacked from the black c o ukrainian soon so that the russians had under estimated them. a massive column of russian tanks, heading towards ki if was stopped in its tracks. the battle for kia was lost and it was clear that wouldn't be the quick victory. the moscow that many expected, by april russian troops had retreated from the north. they regrouped to focus their efforts on the east and the south. the strategic se and port city of murray. opal had been surrounded since the early day in september, ukraine's military surprised russia with a lightning offensive that took back the city of harkins as well as hundreds of square kilometers of territory. ukraine then proceeded to liberate the city of cas on 2 in a major humiliation for the russian army russian troop or i'll was said to be low. meanwhile, ukraine was benefiting from an increasing flow of high tech western weapons stable with russia focused on capturing the cit

the ukraine and russia shera. i believe it's about a 1300 mile border that you know that something, however, you know, we're drawing certain hard, but you're next to one another. and there is a history with respect to people. 44, roughly 44000000 people and ukraine, roughly a 144 or more people in the russian federation. so when this conflict ads and it will end, it must act on and the definition of end is going to be subject to negotiation and semantics in that. but there will be again, commercial relationships. they'll be social relationships, they'll be family relationships. it's going to take some time, but it's natural and there isn't going to be a great wall built between ukraine and the russian federation that we're not going to get chinese architects to come and build a great wall or all of you. i'm so love have the american architects to come in and insistent on, but hearing that from an american like yourself. and i wouldn't say it's very encouraging, but it does produce some coping. me music as well as

russia fights the conquest, ukraine fights for its freedom. if russia stops fighting, the war ends. if ukraine stops, ukraine and is. the fact remains, one man, vladimir putin started this war. one man can end it. second, as we worked and it russia's work against ukraine, members of this counsel must address other challenges to international peace and security. we hear the concerns of countries that worry that standing with ukraine and holding russia accountable is diverting focus and resources from others in need. to those i would say, look at our actions, and when you hear russia and its defenders accused the countries that support ukraine, i say look at moscow's actions. compare the numbers. in addition to the $60.5 billion -- $13.5 billion in food aid u.s. provided to combat hunger, we find 40% of the world food program's budget. russia contributes less than 1% of that budget. that is not an outlier. based on the latest figures, the united states donates more than nine times two russia. we donated 390 times to unicef. we gave a thousand times to the u.n. refugee agents. third, we

the west is losing its ukraine prophecy war on russia. the more the west helps ukraine, the smaller ukraine becomes all the west money sanctions and military 8 appear to change nothing. this is why the situation is now so very good. ah hello, come back to was appoint smith, daniel levy, a former israeli peace negotiator, and the president of the us middle is project mr. we meet before the break. here we were talking about various forms of by breaking international law. you mentioned the illegal russian actions are in your brain and i think legality is also, you know, it has many degrees and i'm not asking you for any endorsement moral endorsement and endorsement of the russian policy. i don't think russia requires that at this point or can hope for that at this point of time, but entrusting or comparing rational policy to that of israel. israel as far as i know, has been trying over the last couple of decades to entrench itself on the palestinian territories without formally annexing them and without formerly taking responsibility for gove

what did you correspondence have been on the ground in ukraine from the 1st day of russia's invasion and here, mathias billing a funny for shar and a conky share. what they experienced on that fateful day in february last year when the war started, i was in florida and in eastern ukraine in the don bus region. and i knew that the war started because my phone rang, we were supposed to swap. i had been working there for a week and my colleague nick was coming to replace me and i was going to take a train back to key that day. but he called me from his train and told me that the war had started. and then we decided that he would get off the train and we would go and pick him up. we drove them to key if my car took us quite long because we tried to take some more secure routes, some smaller roads, and just drove through the country. where we drove the was a little bit far, we could sometimes hear something very distant, but we were not in the zone where fighting was going on. we were quite far from there. we saw people standing queuing up for money at the h. c m's for petro, a petrol stat

now, russia has been attacking residential areas and ukraine claims now that russia is preparing for an offensive for 24 february. can ukraine really hold its ground quite literally. well, i think that's definitely the conviction in kiev. i think they are positively surprised, at least what in terms of the kind of arms that have been supplied in the last couple of weeks after a long period of frustration and kind of calls on the west to send more. we've had a kind of flurry of announcements of new equipment? obviously the question mark hangs over when this stuff is actually gonna arrive on the front lines. i think there is a sense that there isn't really fear that the russians are gonna makeke a lot of new gains. but the question is how fast will ukraine or will ukraine at all be able to reclaim territory that's been lost to the russians since the 24th, 22. so i think it's more about, can ukraine make significant gains before some kind of negotiations restart negotiations we say. um, i'll and i'll come to you now. now, ukraine says it needs heavy tanks, it needs long range missile sys

cannot win this fight. >> russia's aim was to wipe ukraine off the map. putin's war of conquest is failing. . russia's military has lost half of its territory and it wants occupied. young, talented russians are fleeing on the tens of thousands. not wanting to come back to russia. not just fleeing from the military but fleeing from russia itself. . because they see no future in their country. >> president biden is right that russia's military did fail in its initial objectives in this war. and it is military performance has been shockingly bad compared to expectations for what the russian military was capable of these things. on the other side of the ledger, ukraine's resilience and their military performance has been shockingly good compared to the world's expectations for how they would stand up against such insult. but even so, it is not like anyone can clearly say that ukraine is winning. or indeed, it is not at all clear that anyone can say with any real clarity of war any confidence of this is going to end. i mean, as mad as russia's military has perf

the parliament about all this in detail in a moment exactly a year of full-scale war against russia ukrainewind news on espresso in the studio anzhelika sezonenko on the anniversary of the full-scale invasion the president of ukraine calls on ukrainians to fight for every tomorrow volodymyr zelenskyy states it was a year of pain, regret , faith, courage, indifference and unity the supreme commander thanked everyone thanks to whom the ukrainian resistance continues about the first feelings february 24, 22 -th year people call shock pain uncertainty a year after a full-scale invasion belief in victory is 95%. since the beginning of a full-scale war almost 5,000 rocket and almost three and a half thousand air strikes were carried out by the occupying forces on objects in the territory of ukraine, this information was made public by the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, more than 160 people died in the capital during the shelling , including five children, more than 7 hundred were injured of buildings from february 24, 2022 until today, the air raid alarm sounded 680 times in kyiv ,

ukraine fights for its freedom. if russialeaves ukraine, the war ends. _ if ukraine stops - fighting, ukraine ends. let's go live to the united nations and our correspondent not a topic. this war had the potential to completely divide the un — in light of the vote in the general assembly, but also the voices on the security council, what's your assessment of how the un is dealing with this ongoing crisis? i how the un is dealing with this ongoing crisis?— how the un is dealing with this ongoing crisis? i think the biggest take away has _ ongoing crisis? i think the biggest take away has been _ ongoing crisis? i think the biggest take away has been over - ongoing crisis? i think the biggest take away has been over the - ongoing crisis? i think the biggest take away has been over the past| take away has been over the past year, despite everything we've seen with the war — you've had the international court ofjustice chiming in, telling rush the war, you've had alleged crimes against humanity, you've had a globalfood and energy

if there was a peace settlement where russia was allowed to keep crimea, ukraine would never be safe. they could -- russia could use the black sea fleet. it would be the place to start the next iteration of this war, because that is what they would do. they would wait two or three years, think about what they did wrong, then it would be game on again. that is part of the reason i think it is decisive. it is also decisive because we have not given ukraine anything with arrangement beyond 90 kilometers, crimea is a sanctuary for russian forces even today. it is also decisive because it would be impossible for ukraine to rebuild its economy as long as russia controls crimea. they would not allow ukrainian vessels to go in and out. russia would control entry to the sea just like in 2019, when they intercepted naval vessels. that part of ukraine's economy depends on export of grain, iron or, rare earth materials and so on. and odessa, already there are more than 100 ships filled with grain around odesa. they cannot get by because of this agreement in place allowing russian inspectors to lo

do you think that's still possible for ukraine and russia to not be friends? not be brother is i think that's something that we no longer hold for but co existing in the mutually respectful manner when we can stop being enemies for one another deliberate than him is for one another. yes, i hear you. crane and russia shera. i believe it's about a 1300 miles or that you know that something, however, you know, we're drawing certain hard, but you're next to one another. and there is a history with respect to the people. 44, roughly 44000000 people and ukraine, roughly a 144 or more people in the russian federation. so when this conflict ends and it will end it mustang, and the definition of end is going to be subject to negotiation and semantics. and that, but there will be again, commercial relationships. they'll be social relationships, they'll be family relationships. it's going to take some time, but it's natural and there isn't going to be a great wall built between ukraine and the russian federation. you're not going to get chinese architects to come and bui

russia. the consequences of its aggression in ukraine. these are crimes against humanity. and us vice president tells them unit security conference that russia must be held to account. plus ukraine is also in the spotlight at this year's berlin film festival. president of a lot of years lansky is the subject of a new film by us actor shown pam and followed the ukranian leader before and after the russian invasion ah. on pablo foliage. welcome to the program. international leaders gathered in munich have affirmed their long term support for ukraine, against russia's aggression day 2 of them unit security conference. so calls for collective action with just days to go to the 1st anniversary of the war. there was agreement that the conflict can only and justly when russia withdrawals its troops . a busy day of international diplomacy to graham with ukraine at the top of the agenda. germany taking the lead in presenting a united front among the western partners. germany will help ukraine for as long as it takes together with our european and trans atlantic alice and are made cl

now russia has been attacking residential areas and ukraine claims now that russia is preparing for an offensive for the 24th of february. can ukraine really hold its ground quite literally? well, i think that's definitely the conviction in care of i think they are positively surprised at least what in terms of the kind of arms are being supplied in the last couple of weeks after long period frustration and kind of cools on the west to send more we've had to kind of flurry of announcements of new equipment or so the question mark hangs over when this stuff is actually going to arrive in the front lines. i think there is a sense and there isn't really fear that threatens are going to make a lot of new gains. but the question is, how fast will you grain, or will you create a tool be able to reclaim 30, that's been lost, the russian since 24th february 22. so i think it's more about can ukraine make significant gains before some kind of negotiations restart negotiations? we say, i linelle come to you now, now you creams and it needs heavy tanks. it needs a long range missile systems and i

in could to no, we asked young people how they view russia and it's war on ukraine. and in our homecoming series, we meet our thought make a whole turn to our whole country, tara leon, for decades. world powers have been wrangling over partnerships with africa. and since russia attacked ukraine, this fight has become more ideological. many of ukraine's allies expect african countries to decide whether they are for or against russia, in countries like miley and book in a fossil which are both world my military dontez. this has given ground to more anti french and more pro russian voices. ah, the pro ration demonstration in regard to book an fossil. the security situation, the country is tense, islamist rebels, more control, almost 50 percent of the country. the demonstrators want more support from russia. francis long time military partner and former colonial power has failed. they say that is also mark, i'm sorry, says it is t shirts with put into prince are selling well. when you see this is putting, i tell you all my story. the sales only put in and revolutionary cl

kept secret testifies to the fact that the united states has no doubts who will win the war ukraine or russia that the aggressor ukraine did not delay its reaction in russia either carried out nuclear tests, membership in the treaty on strategic offensive weapons, is this the turn of threats or real preparation, the unannounced visit of the us president to kyiv is the top topic this week, despite the security risks, joe biden came to show his support for the ukrainian people , this is a rare case when an american leader visited the conflict zone, where the usa or its allies do not control the airspace, and in kyiv, biden had to feel that he had come to ukraine, which is at war, the very arrival and its date are very symbolic. visited kyiv not just on the eve of the first anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine, but on the day of commemoration of the heroes of the heavenly hundred , joe biden, together with volodymyr zelenskyi, honored those who died on the maidan, who became the first victims in ukraine's struggle for democratic freedoms and european integration, the us leader also brough

host: the world is in a different place than it was in 2016 with ukraine, china and russia. a question that we have from the audience. a man named caesar and florida, is there a possibility that president trump could be reelected, how would he manage our relationship with ukraine and russia. you were there, this is a set -- a different set of facts. how would he handle it? mr. bolton: i know that he has said that if he could get zelenskyy and putin in a room he could solve the problem within 24 hours. it is delusional. it is part of trump's attention to things. the opportunities that we missed because he couldn't keep focused on the policies for a sustained. of time. -- pray sustained period of time. i said in my book, and i believe again today, if you were elected again, he would withdraw from nato. i think that would be a catastrophe. host: a quick to mastic policy question because you said you were running across the board. where are you on the position of protecting social security and medicare. president trump said he would not touch them. some members have said they wou

russia . the non-union states, not ukraine , whatever, or countries. she is simply not needed by anyone . population and it's disturbing. the territory, which needs a lot of money to be poured into it in order for it to become scientific, because there's absolutely no point in russia. is nuclear processes, since there will be no main reason , no one will attack it, and this is already a simple application, the application is more aimed at domestic consumption in the country of the world , they understand very well that there will definitely be no nuclear war . of the main administration, we will ban the russian federation for the execution of eh actions eh on eh causing harm already человенность, that is, this is already eh a world catastrophe, because there is no one to whom it will even carry out eh this rekat, everything is fine they understand what this ghost is for, but for internal consumption, for informational promotion, uh, for replacement , at least unsuccessfully, they can shake the front once more with a nuclear club, and what makes the bears vy putiny, and the whole top is wi

if ukraine stop defending itself against russia it would be the end of ukraine.hat is why together we're make sure ukraine can defend itself. the united states has assembled a worldwide coalition, more than 50 nations to give critical weapons and supplies to the brave ukrainian fighters on the front lines. air defense systems, artillery, ammunition, tanks, armored vehicles. the european union and the memory states have stepped up with unprecedented commitment to ukraine. not just insecurity assistance, but economic and humanitarian and refugee assistance and so much more. all of you here tonight, take a moment and i am serious when i say this, turn around and look at one another. look at what you have done so far. poland is hosting more than 1.5 million refugees from this war. god bless you.
