russian energy giants has the reduction is down to servicing a turbine european politicians believe moscow may cut off gas as political leverage, listening to smile. they don't even have the guts to say we are waging an economic war with you. we are just using our options. monument instead they always tell farcical stories about these turbines, which are simply not true. from wednesday, gas from were further half gas flows via not stream one to just 20 percent off its full capacity rushes main pipeline to germany had been running below capacity for weeks before it was shut down altogether for a 10 day repair period. many have accused the kremlin of using energy as a punishment for ukraine related sanctions. on monday, ukraine's president caught on the you to hit back with even toughest sanctions. it said it left the class. this is open gas warfare that russia is waging against a united europe. that's exactly how it should be perceived or so. and the russians don't care what will happen to the people, how they will suffer from hunger due to the blocking of ports, winter, cold, poverty, or o

these sisters from moscow are the lost links in a long chain. they arrived in a russian town, took the money from their contact, and gave it to the pilot secretly filmed the moment. later, russian security forces detained the person who had allegedly recruited the girls. and this is when an interesting piece of the puzzle emerged. the man claimed he got the order from the notorious haste, the grocer and bulgarian journalist had of the billing kat investigative news outlet known for its close ties to the british intelligence service. am i 6 cooper? grozis told me, well, he didn't actually explain anything to me. he just told me the name of the courier who would deliver the money by train. i'm overwhelmed with emotions. i'm furious with cristo, gross. if i trusted him as a man who would never betray me, i would never have thought there would be such a dark deal there. so similarly transpired that grows of ties with western intelligence agencies go far beyond just using their data and sources for his investigative journalism. in fact, it looks like

i welcome that it sends a strong signal to moscow. we will keep the pressure high for as long as it takes brussels seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel on new sanctions options. as it runs out of ammo, it also appears to be giving a bit more thought as to whether each new shot risks recoiling right into its face . the russian metals company v s m p o visit was reportedly yanked off the sanctions list at the last minute or the fear that were block russian titanium supplies to france. headquartered jet maker, airbus, for example. the block is also backtracked this week on other existing sanctions that had gone against its own stated values and priorities. the e, you decided to extend the exemption from the prohibition to engage in transactions with certain state owned entities. as regards transactions for agricultural products and the transport of oil to 3rd countries. none of the measures adopted to day or earlier target in any way. the trade in agricultural and food products, including wheat and fertilizers between 3rd countr

the fact that there's no colonial baggage with moscow. if you go back to the route, you will find that the soviet union back in the 1950s, did support all pollutions against colonial powers in the middle east and africa. so 2 africans, and in the east, russia, which is the end of the soviet union. the legitimate union was a friend. i mean, let's put it this way, a friend of them at the soviet union as a strategic alliance or ally, been that strategic alliance over the kate. this strategic alliance made the african countries and the countries middle eastern in general. i believe that russia is a genuine ally. it doesn't lecture the world and the african countries of how to adopt the western back in the mac, the sea, which as a matter of fact, as a political scientist the western back to may not fulfill all the prerequisites needed in those countries. in order to implement the western sky, you have to have the basic human rights and physiological needs. a safety 1st, then you give them the political right. don't ask somebody who's suffering

now there's been no confirmation of this from moscow. nothing from the russian side about this deal. now, just a quick rundown on the individual's being discussed in this potential prisoner swap . victor boot is a russian arms dealer and entrepreneur. he was arrested by the u. s. f. b, i tape recorded having a hypothetical conversation that led to conspiracy charges, and he's been serving in u. s. federal prison. now now brittany griner is an american basketball player who was convicted is based on trial, essentially at this point for possession of marijuana bringing drugs and to russia . and paul whalen is a convicted spy, is it was an american who has been convicted of spying against russia serving a prison. so the idea is that these 2 americans might be, you know, traded, and if this happened it wouldn't be the 1st time that such a prisoner swap. so play, so we can recall there was the incident where russian pilot constantine ers jenko was released and traded for trevor re was the national of the united states. so people be watching t

and the awareness of moscow could easily slow down this process or even bring it to an end. so they will be a great deal of concern in the coming weeks ahead with a scale of faster crisis in mind if they're still home. how soon can we expect green shipments to be restored? will take us president jeff taper one at the signing ceremony said that it could be you in a matter of days and all that has been posted by pina. you and officially part of the we've been involved in this the pro program program. and he said that yes, it is possible that we could see a few ship saw think in possibly by next week on top of that. so i think they expect expectation, but this will be a full swing exporting in the region of $5000000.00 come a month. that will not be happening until at least another few weeks. because this is a very complex process. you have to have ukranian pilots will have to great the safe channels through these heavily mine bowl to set up protected ukrainian ports. then they will be the so called safe car. those across the black sea that will be established and this will all

so how do relations between moscow and anchor a stand at the moment? well, like you said, the word complicated is the right one. in fact, this relationship between turkey and russia, they are 2 main regional powers in this, in this region is a combination of both rivalry and cooperation and not more over the question of the ukrainian conflict. like you said, turkey has been a key ally. ukraine has been erred. one has been very outspoken in condemning russia, providing these drones, which have been key to ukraine's resistance against russia. fixing large amounts of casualties on the russian forces and according to sources are also providing other sorts of military support as well. but at the same time, present urge one has not been enforcing western sanctions against russia. and that's been very important for russia. there's been a lot of reports of turkey importing. what ukraine says is stolen grain at the same time, they are occurring concerns or turkeys is sanctions busting on a monumental sale over financial interests. in fact, we had though washing

with broadcasting live direct, most studios in moscow, this is our to international. i'm john thomas. i'm certainly glad to have you with us now. russia still wants to negotiate a peace deal for ukraine, but western efforts to bolster cube in its refusal to sit down for talks could see moscow step up its military operation. that's according to the latest warning from russian president vladimir putin. soon your most lucian. today we're hearing that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. what can i say? and they're welcome to try. we've heard many times that the west wants to fight us to the last ukrainian. this is a tragedy for the cranium people. but it seems that things are indeed coming to this. however, everyone should know that we by enlarge having to actually started anything serious . yet at the same time, we do not refuse piece talk. but those who do refuse, and you should know that the further they go, the more difficult it will be for them to negotiate with us. now, to the latest developments on the war in ukraine, as russia is military reports, it has ta

for moscow though, it's a huge breakthrough. after months of grinding fighting, bringing russian forces a step closer to their goal of seizing control of the entire dawn bass region. russian armored vehicles appearing to roll unopposed through lisa chance. the city was the scene of intense fighting in recent days, but on sunday, ukraine's military said it was forced to withdraw moscow claims with a chance. and the holy hands region is now under its control. with the russian ministry of defense releasing this footage of its troops, raising the russian flag in a village on the regions border. but while moscow's forces may be in this a chance and the surrounding area, keith hasn't yet admitted defeat in the region. if russia's claims are true, it would be a major breakthrough for moscow. bring it closer to its key goal of seizing the whole don bass area. so the answer, just 43 miles to the west in the neighboring donuts, gretchen appears to be one of moscow's next targets on sunday. a local market was struck by russian rockets. acc

the unesco decision got a mixed response from these residents in moscow. certainly borscht is part of the legacy of both russia and ukraine. but i think it is an explicit symbol of ukraine. especially the version with the savoury bun and garlic. i think unesco took the right decision l because ukrainian borscht with the savoury bun and light is a i brand. but i also make borscht and it turned out well, i have - got to admit. borscht has no nationality, just like bread, potatoes, cabbage. is it national? what nationality can it have? but the row has prompted sharper comments from the authorities in moscow. the spokeswoman for russia's ministry of foreign affairs accused ukraine of nationalism saying borscht and originated as a dish of russian inhabitants in kyiv. so the humble beetroot soup traditionally a symbol of hospitality has become a further stain on relations. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @richpreston hello, there. july has got under wayjust wherejune left off, with lots of heavy showers around. this was a shower in aboyne aberdeenshire, and

under the deal, moscow would also be allowed to ship its fertilizer to world markets. what's unclear is house and the 1st vessel will be able to leave ukraine. well, i can say that the people here, all the parties here are committed to ensuring the success of the initiative. thank you. that's enough. when they get back i really, i can't speculate on that and we're, there are, it'll be very soon. ukraine accused russia of blockading. it's poured stuff to the start of the invasion in february, and even stealing grain from the occupied territories in the south. russia denies both claim st. the main obstacle for shipments at thousands of mines placed by ukraine near the coast. the russians tray on the port city of odessa, just one day after the deal was signed with the agreement at risk with ukraine and president volume of zalinski st. moscow can not be trusted. this man who has a farm near odessa says he's running to huge financial troubles because he can't sell his grain or by seed for next year and is hopeful as he is. the deal will work. he has his doubts, or he though

that was a problem for moscow. that's right. where they were trying to fight around have their own extended lines and they failed. so in this new campaign they have fighting broadly, generally from russia into the dom boss, they, they would appear to have shorter logistics and command control lines, which are easier for them to control and they can be more successful. but what with these munitions, those can even those compact lines of communication can be held at risk and create problems for the russian. so i really do think this is a game changer, is a tough term is significantly sways things in the ukrainian advantage. if they have enough routes, and more of these high miles are expected to be delivered. is that right? we just announce for more of the high mars vehicles and there's equivalent vehicles them to 70 is coming from european countries. so they'll have upwards of, you know, 2 dozen of these vehicles eventually. but again, as i said a moment ago, the key in the munitions we have only heard, they're very discrete abou

it follows that barrage of accusations by the west and ukraine. moscow's already breached a new grain export deal, the psyche of itself admitting wheat stores were not pit. also ahead. all countries of anger have sovereignty, are free to choose their own policies, including foreign policy in the interest of their own people. the words of egypt, foreign minister following talks with his russian counterpart in cairo, who is all nature of africa and much to the concern of washington, which has expressed a alarm about moscow's influence on the account. with that, also among the stories that ship the week, russia around and nato member charity hold talks to discuss the conflict resolution and syria calls for the u. s. to withdraw its troops from the country with what they tell stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly on rti welcome. russia sees a ukrainian warship, an empty ship. miss styles were destroyed in saturdays strike on the port of odessa foot age shows, blasts and smoke rising into the year as well as firefighters of the sam
