by the way, levy is not part of russia. neither serious or, you know, let's say let's, you know, it be differentiated for the sake of your own students. i think you don't want to lump over a, aren't that different from try mia and done boss. they're both land grabs into their neighbors country. yes, i agree. with you, syria and libya are different, but the point here is that these were relatively small operations going into ukraine, is different. i'm with someone who did not think that quote, was actually done to invade ukraine. because i thought it was such a miscalculation, such a dangerous and reckless move. and i think that book and really was delusional. he believed what he said. he believed that behind every ukrainian was a want to be russia and, and that the russian troops would go into your brain and the russian of the ukrainian millet, terry would collapse and everybody would say, oh, thank god the russians are here. that's, that's ukraine. that doesn't exist ever since 2014, including an eastern ukraine. ukrainian

but in russia, it is also a case that russia doesn't want to be as dependent on europe as its major energy customer. either. for example, since 2014, when europe started talking about russia and russian energy risk, in moscow, the conversation was about also russia's exposure to european -- to europe as an energy customer. since 2014, we have seen major projects being built, focusing on china and gas and oil and lng. the discussion in moscow right now is acknowledging that europe will become steadily and less important customer, but asia and china and india in particular are all going to become bigger customers and compensate. so the view in moscow is that this is about rebalancing. it is inevitable that europe will go down as a customer, but there will be compensations with new customer growth elsewhere, that's the radio looking at it right now. so the view in moscow is that this rebalancing is not going to destroy the economy. it all depends on scale and time and the urgency that this will all be rolled out. laura: ole, what are your thoughts on that? guest: that is an interesting point.

but a strong russia with china is a much bigger problem than a very weak russia with china. there americans are defining existential threat and similar terms. well, these are the only 2 countries that are capable of totally and hating each other. so did an existing action to each other, and that justifies trying to awaken your adversary. because i mean, we can the adversary with nuclear weapons. one could argue that it's much bigger than you know, yes. but we can visit with nuclear weapons. would also consider using them in the same manner as it would consider using them. if it's not, we can, if that enemy is going to defeat me, then i may consider the option off. if the world doesn't want me that way, where i need this world, but i don't think that americans are going to be addressed at that stage. if you do it, you can make li we can. and as austin said, i don't know whether it was a slip of the tongue or it was genuine. he said they want to, we can russia so that it can rebuild. it says to come to this stage from your experience of this country, do you think that approach

i don't expect russia to try to swallow. you pray now because i think they've realised that it would be swallowing a porcupine. that it's not going to work that there are 44000000 saving ukrainians, who would marshal an insurgency against the russian occupation? that's my assessment of why russia has changed its war aims to try to enlarge its land to grab in eastern ukraine, have a bigger chunk of don boss and connected to crimea. i'm guessing that russia won't continue to push to the west, but who knows? my fear here is that isn't as calculating and rational as he used to be. and my evidence for that is the invasion of ukraine itself. it was a mistake in a move, as far as nato's concern, there's no question that be enlargement of data. going back to the 1990 s, has been a major source of grievance between russia and the west. but i do say that there was a conversation taking place late last year into early this year. that gave the wiggle room that he needed by his said schools out ukrainian membership is not under considera

also coming up russia. does it have sufficient funds to pay its foreign debts in roubles in response to washington, barring moscow from fulfilling its obligations in dollars with 4 am on thursday morning here in the russian capital. mine is peter scott and welcome to 30 minutes of news here on our t. yes, officials claim the offensive in the republic will now advance faster after the surrender of the matter. you pull steal plants. while the area is being cleared of mines with the former positions of the ukrainian troops being inspected, ortiz eager is done, continues to explore maria post industrial area now heading to the place where the hours of fights is tried to break the siege. so this is the place where the as of new nazi battalion try to break through the encirclement and will somehow get to the other. sure. some were swimming across this river. at least tried woke. they failed. and as you can see, this place is in ruins. there still mines are scattered across this place and there's an armored person

and basically incentivize russia deter russia from continuing and get them to draw back. that needs to be the goal. and i fear that the trauma and the shame and the guilt of having been the aggressor nation, that russia and the russian people will feel we in germany understand this very well, even a, almost 80 years after the war. we still grapple with, with the legacy of our crimes in world war 2 and when the but when the bombs have stopped, then we can have this conversation of how did the russians feel and how do we somehow bring them back into the international community. but for, for me both as a citizen and as an analyst, i think the focus needs to be on ukrainian. victory has absolutely right. because it's really hard to tell what do russians now. i mean, we have surveys, but who would speak out frankly, in a authoritarian system. we have huge propaganda in this information that not only since the war started, but it started a long time before already. so i think it's really hard to tell what people thing and if you ask them on the street, they will answer anything

how's russia going to get out of this? but ultimately it's, it's all a sure because what do you, what do you think when you hear someone's galant, a default or bankruptcy or bankruptcy? it's that they've brought out of money right to pay off their obligations. in this case, that isn't the truth. russia has plenty of money. it's just american bags of, of stopped russia are for, for my paying out lose loans in us dollars. that makes it the opposite of what happened in $1098.00, for instance, which people might be thinking there's parallels to merit in terms of the dollar k, then being shut to russia. what does it mean for moscow? while the united states has made no secret of this very little change, because ultimately this isn't a default in the classical sense. russia has said that the, it won't call this a default, whether it's a technical default as some pundits and financial analysts of have come to call it . but ultimately, russia says it will continue paying at its obligation. so coupons, monthly, payments in roubles a

people in russia, the society of russia is depressed. it's named a path via they are. they are feeling kind of different feelings. first is depression. second is fear. people like are not ready so far to rally in the streets of russian cities because they're scared of the consequences. they know that when someone goes out on the street invest in celebration, they are either detain or they may be followed by police officers or police officers can come to their apartment and black mail, their relatives and one before. so, you know, the moment has not come yet. also there is a problem of leadership, oppositional leadership in russia. there are no people who would lead the, you know, protest, indifferent cities. ellison, yvonne is the leader of opposition, is in jail and he faces 9. i mean, he is already he has already got 919 more years. yeah. let me talk a bit about tv writing your channel, tv, rain. it survive just about a week into the war in ukraine, and for that week you had huge audiences around 25000000. i think on youtube. did you really think that would last you

you simply can't, because russia is not the north korea, russia, russia is the major, do, sir, and explore that of energy goes all over door. and secondly, as i said, the, the main goal, the main thought of that was to, we can do european union. why? because they work, union for the united states is a yes, a military ally, but the is also an economic rival. so the sink show regime was a long planned and carefully studied to weaken the european union. and indeed, the 1st target of the sanctions regime as you know, was the norm to stream to so by then the, the war to bomb up with them. now, for many years, american political scientists criticized russia for using crude power and extolled the american ability to exercise self or smart power. and when other players back to americans will not because they are forced to but because they genuinely one till finally special for themselves. getting these images that are of fun of the global common good as an author or an advocate of universal. busy rules and values, it will change as a result of this whole ukrainian affair. in my opinion, doesn't ma

again, this is something of a mirror response, a tactic, the russia strategy that russia has been following in the past few years. because the e u and the u. s. they already have very similar to the list of the same nature of russian business men of russian companies that are in fact toxic for the u. s. and the e u. economies. in fact, we have seen several russian managers, members of the board and ceos resigned from that position so that those companies are no longer affiliated with them. a very similar measure now to have very similar step taken by russia taken by the russian president. thanks very much for taking this through all of our cheese shit and hungry. foreign minister has claimed his country as being unfairly attacked over its stumps on russian energy supplies. we're looking at this issue solely from the perspective of hungarian national interests. we're not interested in what the still the west think about it. the real security of supplies is an issue for us because it's currently physically impossible to run the hungarian economy without russian oil. the minister also pointed,

in western banks, and when they decided to punish russia, they simply stole it. russia does not intend to tolerate weston countries leave for it will not allow them to steal the money. it turns to the export. oil and gas up in the bunker. russia has demanded that e u. countries now pay for russian gas in variables. and hungary has said that 9 e countries have agreed, although they governments have not publicly declared that compliance. in contrast, poland hon. guerria have taken a strong stones against russia, and moscow has halted gas supplies to them. off the coast on of investigates, the west attempts to weaponized its energy resources. weaponized gas, no, not an unconventional as fix the end, but the one you might use to cook or keep the house warm. now it's in the episode until the ro between russia, europe and the u. s. the u says moscow is shaking down the block. that's crumbs announcement that it is unilaterally stopping gas deliveries. to certain jo, member states is another provocation from the kremlin. but it comes as no surprise that the criminal use of fossil fuels to try

what russia has to do is on behalf of all of us, it's not just for russia, is to wake people up to how aggressive nature, though, is how distracted it is to have to look at libya. its role in both throughout the world and dismemberment of a few slabs. so impertinent russian government have done us all the favor.

they believe that russia is bluffing. obviously, the u. s. must know that this is a desperate situation for ukraine. why are they continuous and why more importantly, why is it in any remote way in america's national interest to be provoking a war over the borders of ukraine? no one has answered that question yet. a number of international officials, of course, the more multi polarity in the world during talks this week, including russia's talk. diplomat said a lot of you've sold the review. the world has changed on americans claim they want to make the world unit polar for good. but objective processes go in the opposite direction, the world is multi polar. and we have been repeatedly saying that the un security council needs to get rid of its main defects over dominance of one group of countries out of 15 sit sakes belonging to the western countries and their allies. in chief, antonia gets harris was in moscow this week. the talks with rushes leadership where they agree to new humanitarian measures, the war torn ukraine and on bass, while a

that relationship to russia is. ready county how near the lithuanian capital the feeling platform of the tv tower is a popular attraction. from here one can see how the city has changed. in the last 20 years alone, around 50000 new apartments have been belt. more than anywhere else in the baltic states. ready in the center is the country's parliament. since independence it is known again as the famous bruce lana spot or no of us is a philosophy graduate at wax for an m p of the social democrat party. massive barometer ramos, i'm guy, we've integrated into the european union and the west and our living standards have increased. the borders were opened up for us, and many lithuanians emigrated to western europe. but at the same time, our main problem is inequality problems to work in the quality of incomes, unequal opportunities given in 30 years ago. it's elena was home to 3700000 inhabitants. but then the exit us again, 900000 lithuanian last the country, young people, especially most to some well educated and went

it is so lily between russia and ukraine. we want to open people's eyes to what's happening in the u. s. weapon supplies to ukraine is a, me, a business and reality. washington doesn't carry a little room about a situation inside the country. they are supporting the u. s. has placed a huge bed in the ukraine, and he's afraid to lose or so. it is dragon, more and more countries into this conflict. the effects of western sanctions on russia being felt across the globe, including in central america with russia, one of the world's largest fertilizer exporters, accounting for more than 12 percent of the global market. sanctions on exports are putting that entire region on the verge of an agricultural crisis, as we heard on the ground and mexico cylinder plus holes in last year i planted 3 hector's but this year only one set of year due to rising prices for raw materials and especially due to the shortage of russian fertilizers caused by the impose sanctions. sergio garcia has had to play less corn and tomatoes this year. over the

and a 3rd is costs for russia. in the past, i will say i worked in the obama administration in 2014. there was a 4th pillar, which was offering an off ramp for putin. making sure that there was always. but that is not a primary objective right now, because the face saving option, right? because right now the primary objectives are these 3 objectives, to support ukraine, harden nato costs for russia. because as was said, you know, the rational calculation for russia's own standing in the world and prosperity of its people is not to engage in this war. and until there is a constellation where an off ramp actually could yield something that would preserve those, the 1st 3 primary objectives, it's not really on the table. ok, angelina? on a slightly different note. say you are a journalist. you describe yourself as a journalist, but you also described yourself, i noted as a change maker, or what is the change maker and how can you make change happen at this point in time? that's a very tough question, and that's also a

i'm peter lavelle, the drive to sanction russia in any one who does business with russia is wrecking havoc on the global economy. the goal is to punish russia so far the russian economy remain stable. this cannot be said for other economies around the world. in fact, those who sanction are feeling enormous pain and suffering. ah cross sucking sanctions. i'm joined by my guess, michael hudson in new york. he is a professor of economics at the university, missouri, kansas city, as well as author of forgive them their debts. in las vegas, we have taught horowitz, he is the chief market strategist bubble trading. and in london, we cross into a ewing. he is a managing director of concord risk capital or a gentleman cross sock rules and effect. that means he can jump in any time he want . and i always appreciate, let me go to michael. first thing in new york here in the conflicts are about 3 months ago. and one of the things that i've been fascinated with michael is the ricochet effect of all of the sanctions. i mean, every single day, there's another layer, another unexpected consequence.

in western banks, and when they decided to punish russia, they simply stole it. russia does not intend to tolerate western countries thievery and will not allow them to steal the money it earns for the export of oil and gas. hungary, i have said 90 countries have agreed to russia's request for gas payments to be made in roubles, even if those governments have not publicly declared their compliance. in contrast, poland on bulgaria and have taken a strong stance against russia and moscow has halted gas appliance to them. or cheese is done off comments now on the growing tensions over gas between russia and the west. weaponized gas, no, not an unconventional as fix the and above the one you might use to cook or keep the house warm. now, it's in the percentage of the road between russia, europe, and the u. s. the u says moscow is shaking down the block. that's problems announcement of that. it is unilaterally stopping gas deliveries. to certain jo, member states is another provocation from the kremlin. but it comes as no surprise that the criminal use is fossil fuels to try to black. my la

but a strong russia with china is a much bigger problem than a very weak russia with china. so, americans are defining existential threat and similar terms. well, these are the only 2 countries that are capable of totally and hating each other. so data and existing should take to each other and that justifies trying to awaken your adversary. because i mean, we can the adversary with nuclear weapons. you know, one could argue that it's a much bigger than, you know, yes or one who, but we can visit with nuclear weapons. would also consider using them in the same manner as it would consider using them. if it's not, we can, if that enemy is going to defeat me, then i may consider the option off. if the world doesn't want me that way, where i need this one. but i don't think that americans are going to get dressed at that stage. it is too you can make lee we can and as austin said, i don't know whether it was a slip of the tongue or it was genuine. he said they want to, we can russia so that it can rebuild. it says to come to this stage from your experience of this country, do yo

between russia and the west. and i want to ask a simple question, bureau, what country, when europeans are spending more than we spend in, in the, in a few, in an hour or 2 hours to buy and guess, why do you want a book entry to deny it? still, russian, oil and gas. why do you want us to look to be even better? well, perhaps a white man said, i, well, it's just my opinion. but can i ask you here? because we are running out of time. you said we need europe and america in asia to, you know, solve our various security challenges and having seen what the american contribution to the european security has been. i mean, they literally brought russia and europe on the brink of a nuclear conflict. i mean, there is a hot conflict now raising in the middle of europe. do you really think that we need that kind of expertise to help solve in difficulties, let's say with china or pakistan. we do it originally in a matter that would try to satisfy all parties. do you really believe that the americans or the repeal for that matt

maybe it has been russia that has come forward and supported india. so today, if you look at kind of assumed that in the movie under when mr. nadia booking is one of the school especially and it seemed our when it came to court back to mission when it came to over to soft gosh, looking forward. yeah, i strategic dia, a g for technical. and when it comes to the oil market, a stronger lines, good russia, nbc, that one is not going to get broken down a bunch on that. d 7 group is also a big red. that actually is a strategic partner. you know, all the time. i don't get in peace because india is one country which is the maximum because of this war. if you go to b, b and it will all prices in india, those massive b. and that's not like, you know, that's not good because 90 percent of that y comes from russia. if you look at point, i don't, particularly in india, our ecosystem is often the most so in there wants peace between russia and ukraine . and as i get the best to sling, you know, i mean one time they're talking about peace. and the 2nd time we are se

which, why is russia in 1st place? because russia is the mother. yeah, mike. mm hm. the eastern serbian city of zaya chad has been home to andre. even of since the start of the war and ukraine, he fled here from levine in western ukraine. his grandma and his sister live in z, i a chad blue. shortly before the russian invasion, the 30 year old was warned that ukrainian men would soon no longer be allowed to cross the border. he managed to leave ukraine and continues to work as a graphic designer, a job he can do from home. and just 11 weeks he's learned to speak serbian fluently and feels settled here. but um it was a little thumb quote, lots of people. i mean here they are like they stand for russia, they are in friendship with raja and that i know what is their historical background of his friendship. so, but i don't find it a problem for myself because i cannot tell what other people, what they should law or that what they should. and they are free people here. they can, they can decide their friends no matter what. so it's not a problem for me. at all a local jour

and there were a lot of missteps taken with russia. how would you have recommended 20 steps ago that we might not have been repeating history and falling back into kind of some form of a new cold war with russia? what did we get wrong? 20 steps ago that we might, might, we should be aware of now. well, i think if you start from january, the 1st 1990 to the day after the dissolution of the soviet union, there was an enormous optimism in washington and continued through the 1900 ninety's. some commentators were announcing the end of history. people talked about the peace dividend, where western defense budgets were cuts but, but most importantly, during the 1990 the clinton administration, people in washington felt that the debate was over, that the washington model of liberal democracy in market economics was going to prevail worldwide. and there really wasn't too much more to worry about that turned out not to be right in russia and our failure, or to understand just how fragile russia was. how difficult getting institutions of represe

what russia has had to do is on behalf of all of us. it's not just for russia is to wake people up to how aggressive nature lewis, how destructive it is to have to look at libya. its role in both throughout the world and dismemberment of yugoslavia. so impertinent russian government have done us all the favor by so saying to showing nato, we're not going to be bullied. and many people in the will and the majority of countries respect that the fact that we're not going to be bullied by this aggressive the destructive country. which leads me to win the game plan. as obviously giving licks to mercer, they know all the documents from cannon through to visit and ski to the rand corporation to the not the date of community unit 2021, which sets it out to dismember russia dismember. i'll do that. but also, of course in l part of the world, we know we're trying to china as well. so yes, it's a terrible thing that they're trying to line up against russia. but on the other hand, the great majority of people in the world also opposed to what the u

russia had big debts and its economy had crashed. then came almost a decade of high oil prices and the russian economy rebounded about vigor. putin's petro state was rich and with that change came greater confidence, ambition and even expansion. putin began to do what perhaps he always wanted to do, retrieve those russian-speaking lands that were part not of the soviet union but the older russian empire. putin sees himself not as a soviet commisar but as a russian czar, in the tradition of his hero, peter the great. perhaps what changed was not putin but the circumstances. when he could, he was aggressive. this year he acted because, again, oil and gas prices were sky high. the west seemed internally divided and weak, and europe in particular had become dependant on russian energy. when he thought he had power, we can see what he wanted, total control over all of ukraine, and when he couldn't get that, we see the viciousness with which he has waged war on ordinary ukranians, even women and children. whatever the provocation, what lea

it is no mystery that, oh, the russia, nato, russia. oh america, russian, europe, europe relationship is the lowest point in many decades. that's effect. and as long as russia would continue to be an aggressive, her player will occupy east neighbors illegally. of course, the relationship will stay at the very low level. at the same time, we're not in the business of ruling out a future relationship with russia, which is a big country, a great people, great history, great culture. so when russia were realised that this is not the way to approach european secuity and to engage is neighbors and, and its partners in europe. i dunno. draw out a moment in time. i don't know when, but the moment in time when things were, if not come back to normal. when some form of, of, of dialogue, russia would resume. but as long as they occupy the territories they behave like they behave will be very difficult for us to, to, to do that. but again, we are not ruling out that in the future and a moment of rushes choosing in away. when they changed course. i

russia's rouble hits of 2 year high. and it's so called fortress economy is believed to be holding up so far. but has moscow really, whether the worst of sanctions, netflix loses subscribers for the 1st time at the decade. and cnn plus shuts down its platform just a month off to launch. how viewers had enough that is the whole streaming industry of risks. ah, rushes president vladimir putin is making good on his threat to turn off the supply of natural gas to europe. supplies to bulgaria, and poland have been halted after they refused to pay for gas in roubles. other european countries may also be cut off within weeks. if they to reject russia's demand, the e u, as dismissed the move as blackmail that is under pressure to cut the cord on russian energy. the block has proposed a complete ban on all washing oil imports. by the end of the year. we will make sure that we phase out russian oil in an orderly fashion. so in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes. and at the same time, be very

with russia. the defense ministry shared a video celebration is that a border marker. the video hasn't been independently verified against president his troops with hockey, same. the nation owes him a debt of gratitude for those 3 is scrambling to deal with a coven 19 outbreak. the governance reporting 6 new deaths and 270000. people have fever like symptoms. health officials say 62 people have died since late april leader. kim's on is blamed, it's health officials for being irresponsible. as president joe bivens approved the deployment of hundreds of american tunes to somalia, the announcement follows the election of a new president. cotton shake. mohammed is taking charge of somali. a face is mora tags or the group or show bob has vala and a john lies a likely to lose the majority in levels parliament. that's according to initial results and sundays election. this is the 1st full since even only crisis on the bay with point exposure and those are the headlines. the news continues here on, on to

couldn't russia. yes. may be that i don't know about, but will the people of russia give up? will there be a change or something? no, i don't think so. there's something sad about that, and i hear that a lot on the russian television that doesn't kill us, makes us stronger. it's, i mean, we've lived with this motor for quite some time, but it's, it's also a little bit dispiriting. you know, you would want to look forward to something more uplifting. what's the benefit for the west in pursuit that's trying to do? because obviously in this case, in the case of russia, it already came back to her them. why are they so oblivious to the pain that they are encouraged? what i personally, this is my opinion that i think the rest feels that or the u. s. specifically, feels this is the last opportunity it has to reclaim. it's as human if hedge when he was being diluted. the uni paula moment was passed, particularly in the 21st century, the events in iraq and then i've gotten this done. we're showing that there

there's no one from russia here in fact. and in fact, in the place where the old russian house used to be, there is now a russia war crimes house. and it's really a striking exhibition that you see when you go inside. they are over 4000 images that have been used to create a kind of almost video installation with sound as well, where you see the suffering of civilians at the hands of russian soldiers that has taken place during this war. and the organizers that we were speaking to yesterday said that they think that the world should see that russia is this. now russia is the suffering that it has inflicted on the ukrainian people. all right, thanks, emily sharing their reporting for us, sir, in divorce and emily just mentioning those are war crimes. a ukrainian court has just sentence a russian soldier to live in prison for killing an unarmed civilian. it is the 1st war crime trial arising from russia's invasion. the 21 year old soldier had pleaded guilty to charges, including premeditated murder and to committing a war crim

there is no aggressions from finland street to russia like it was from crazy for to russia. so to my mind, that doesn't make sense for me all the mindset if she want to agree with g s condition. this is the wrong step. somebody lives historian and political analyst math meant parent check says that nato is using the conflict for its own interests . bits or para caea, the special operation is directed against nato's expansion. niece 20. this expansion poses a threat not only to russian national security, but also the security of other countries. for example, turkey, the united states has created an entire turkish block in the eastern mediterranean . the americans want to use ukraine as a breach hat against russia and other countries. if it wasn't for the special operation, the conflict would spread beyond crane's territory, which would be a catastrophe. him. united states aggression is the main reason for the conflict. it keeps supplying weaponry to crane. the west doesn't want to cease fire. they continue, their provocations is beneficial for the united states, but he, crani

now it's in the percent of the road between russia, europe, and the u. s. the u says moscow is shaking down the block gas crumbs announcement that it is unilaterally stopping gas deliveries. to certain jo, member states is another provocation from the kremlin. but it comes as no surprise that the criminal use of fossil fuels to try to black. my last back in march, in response to the use aggressive sanctions. russia announced a key change in how the blog will have to start paying for gas in short, in rubles in detail. the customer now has to open 2 accounts in a rush and bank one in euro's the other in roubles. the payment comes into the 1st account, then the bank converts euros into roubles and transfer them into the 2nd multiple experts have said that for the e u, the change is negligible, but it's now the us that's going out of its way to blow this out of proportion for working for other nations like korea, japan cutter and others to support or effort to help the europe and allies threatened by russia with gas blackmail and their energy needs and other wa

we're trading with russia. and if we, in the western countries give up all of this, we will have a problem in the future. that was a major point to why my party started in exclusion case against me. i'm excluded because of a facebook post where congress related the 2 republics donetta can log on to the people's republic and for their recognition by russia. i tried to explain the situation, but they didn't want or they didn't understand. so they kicked me out in the ent, that's the situation. so if you try to come with another point of view, if you try to look to the other side to try to understand the other side russian side or then you have a real problem at the moment with western countries pulling punches when it comes to stepping on rushes toes, some countries still refused to climb on the carousel and his latest interview, the turkish permanence estates that anchor will not participate in western sanctions against russia. sided up to them we will and sanctions against russia have also affected turkey. comp

with russia, they are at war with russia. they're tending they're not. but the fact is, through this proxy conflict, united states nato is a, you're waging defacto conflict with russia. ok, well if i go to you and sydney, we had officials in the u. k. very, ah, a buoyant about the fact that ukraine is using nato weapons to attack russia. so is as an, isn't that kind of a free for all. now i, shouldn't russia be able to hit a british assets? it's a in poland. i mean that the same thing here. go ahead. indeed, i think that the latest developments to have shown, but what's happening is a wider western war being waged against russian or just a ukranian war. so there are multiple nanometers, russia is facing as your previous cust. the said no, i'd have to mention here the report which was published when york times that a, which mentioned that sir, the americans were providing intelligence to the accordions, which led to the targeting that killer and killing of russian generals. so i think things have become clear as to how many enemies the or the russians are

or he will have to say that russia is stronger than ever. and if anyone question here, we're going to strike you think where they think that this is a bit more probable though, it's white the survey that was d. w, russia, analyst constantine a get speaking to me a little bit earlier. well, the e u is in the final stages of implementing a ban on imports of russian oil. it's a dramatic shift in policy for the blog, and it won't come without consequences. about 12 percent of germany's oil comes from russia and nearly all of it flows $31.00 refinery on the german polish border, providing thousands of jobs. d. w reporter matthew more went to the refinery in chevy it northeast to berlin, to gauge local reactions to the potential bat. another busy be at the p. c. k. oil refinery. but these are anxious times. the plant is the final hard along the route to a german bond on russian oil. it could bring an end to decades of production, yen coop, and a local m p who himself worked at the plant, says it would be an act of self harm. your muscle, we need t

i think everything which russia's government is doing at the moment is leading russia to a disaster and it's taken russia's future away from the country and from its people. okay thank you for that. now, the the question we're asking today is whether vladimir putin is where he's leading his country possibly into chaos or demise. let's take a closer look at the impression that president putin made at the recent victory parade and then we'll bring in roman and tyson, the russian president looked tired during his speech at the traditional military parade. he could not announce any big military victories as ukrainian forces have been fiercely resisting. instead he blamed nato for the war armed, our neighboring country military victories as ukrainian forces have been fiercely resisting. instead deliberately directed against us went on to claim that russia preemptively reacted to that threat. it was, in his words deliberately directed against us went on to claim that russia the only right decision addressing russian soldiers fighting in the world will putin have to let go of his military aims

so today on the day, if the west can crippled russia's economy, why shouldn't russia try to starve us? i'm fil galeon berlin, and this is the day. ah, dresser has launched a green one stocking globin food prices. there is the last food, the security last has a security, last income. i mean, we see already food insecurity at very high levels. cost you use a while, the keys to last in peace and the security. this is really crisis davis forced to get worse also on the day germany has detected its 1st case of monkey pox, clusters are springing up around the world. and scientists are baffled by the spread of this rad virus. the use says it's monitoring the outbreak closely. the monkey pox virus is considered to have moderate transmit civility. among humans, the likelihood of further spread the virus through close contact. for example, through sexual activities is considered to be high. the likelihood of transmission between individuals without close contact is considered to be well come to that day. well, finance ministers from a group of 7 leading economists meeting here in germany. i've

, proxy war against russia. and you're just both. you know, blood, sweat, and tears, and the breaker republic of trying to nice to wag, brush and peacekeeping forces have been deployed since a conflict in the 1990 s has issued its highest terrorist threat alert. that's after a number of attacks in the region this week where they were public leaders saying the conflict in neighboring ukraine is spilling over. because the 1st results of the immediate investigation show the origin of these attacks. and unfortunately they lead to ukraine. i think those who organize the attacks and the goal to drag trans easterel into the russia grain conflict. i'm sure this attempt will fail of being 3 incidents in trying to sneak over the past week. the 1st within the capital terrace bought to ross pole in a grenade in a grenade launcher attack in the state security ministry to explosions and occurred in a village north of the capital damaging communications towers that have been transmitting russian broadcasts. trying to meet the

we hear from some who have headed east to seek refuge in russia. ukraine has repeatedly accused russia of deliberately targeting civilians, not letting any one escape the fighting. today's russian attacks on a kindergarten, an orphanage, or war crimes and a violation of the rome statute. together with the office of the attorney general, we are collecting these and other material which we will immediately transfer to the hague or response to this act is inevitable. elect on the 29th of march, i told you that russian occupants destroyed 773 educational institutions in our country. now it is twice that number 1580 for these a kindergarten schools and universities. the occupies of already killed $220.00 ukrainian children. there. the same schools and kennedy gardens, that as of neo nazis and regular troops alike like to use so much as their basis. same story with the humanitarian corridor was facilitated by cave only on paper. a colon, joy, i have not seen humanitarian corridors from the ukrainian side. the ukrainian military were in the city, but they didn't do anything. vitaly met the wa

so today on the day, if the west can cripple russia's economy, why shouldn't russia try to starve us? i'm fil galion berlin and this is the day ah, dresser has launched green stocking low been food prices. there is the last food security. last has a security. last income. i mean we see already food insecurity at very high levels . if you use a while, the keys to last in peace and the security is really a crisis, davis forced to get worse also on the day germany has detected its 1st case of monkey pox. clusters are springing up around the world. and scientists are baffled by the spread of this rad virus. the use says it's monitoring the outbreak closely. the monkey pox virus is considered to have moderate transmission ability. among humans, the likelihood of further spread the virus through close contact. for example, through sexual activities is considered to be high. the likelihood of transmission between individuals without close contact is considered to be low. oh, well come to the day, well, finance ministers from a group of 7 leading economists meeting here in germany. i've been

now this tension between russia and 800 particular are not new. and yet, you know, there is a sounds that there is a lot of similarity between divide and administration and the obama administration . their rhetoric is similar. there are a lot of, you know, the same people working for that administration, and yet it is my perception that during the obama administration, while all those tensions were still present, i mean, in your brain and sarah, and many other parts of the world that the obama nutrition still managed to avoid bringing it to such an acute blow out that may be wrong. i. what i want to ask is whether you see any difference between the obama administration and the vitamin nutrition and the ability to predict, strategize about how they deal with russian. i think certainly there is significant overlap between the obama administration and buy it into ministration. as you say, i think the world use probably a lot to different. i think maybe there has been some difference in terms of the ex, each execution of the number of those policies.

different vargo is probably no surprise to russia. the e u had been discussing and oil embargo for weeks is russia prepared for this? while the russia has been preparing in terms of making declarations about the opportunity to reroute the flows over us and oil or east or to chat now or be the south mark to india. but in fact, the transportation capacity is the chain of our field. 100 percent, it is impossible to increase exports over us in the oil to chain. maybe a couple of 10 on there is, will be loaded additionally in some voltage force or lexi for. but this does not make the wither and an additional 3 or 4, or maybe even 5 near them for a year or 2 chairs, which receive a 1000000 songs over us in the oil every year. it is a very microscopic horse and which is not going to replace of the western oil flow and india where the competition was sour, dairy, the iraq and kuwait and the united arab emirates is very heavy, is not going to absorb more than 6 or $7000000.00 of russian oil for a year, and this is absolutely not enough to repl
