you must support russia. you must actively support russia, and you shld defend russia. sean: boikov has led groups of australian cossacks to russia where they fired guns and visited a military training facility. [gunshots] sean: in 2018, simeon boikov told a russian media outlet, "we have a unique opportunity to support russia from within an enemy state." he was referring to australia. he said cossacks in australia could "pursue a pro-russian position, lobby politicians and members of parliament, oppose anyone who lies about russia, attacks russia, or ioses sanctions. basically, they can wage an information war." sean: why do you regard australia as an enemy state? simeon: no, australia, in this context, a state which is placing sanctions against russia and behaving in an anti-russian manner, you know, in that way could be perceived that the activities are not the activities of an ally. the main thing to know is we're not against australia at all. we love australia. we will defend australia, and we'll try to defend it, and we wanna facilitate the rehabilitation of austr

its arms wide out to russia. you said in an area interview that this is a bad situation for south africa. explain why? yes, it is very bad, so after care because you know, it opens out africa up for potential this investment by listening this, this even pretend. so i'm sanctions by the us at the moment where we need to come see where we need investment. we need to deal with our jobs problem. we've got our biggest economic crisis is that africa? since i'm to 2nd out low war, we had a rehab the highest unemployment in any emerging market in the world we desperately need and for an investment and brushes out our tape. but what russia is so many mo, i'm compared to our types with a developed world. so obviously that i've got, as i want to risk losing investments from that other, develop the countries that. so what do you think makes it so difficult with africa called them russia, but it's why you came you know, many leaders of the governing african national congress in south africa. a few great food to russia because

"everyone out there wants to see russia on its knees and wants "to see russia's demise." we are also talking about a society that has not had access to free and independent elections since 2003 as well, because, according to international organisations, the last free but not fair election took place in russia in 2003. since then, all the elections have been, have been stolen. at the end of those two decades, we're seeing what we're seeing. an extremely atomised, depoliticised society that believes that the only way to survive this is to keep quiet and somehow, yeah, somehow fight for survival. so, i have to... sadly, we're almost out of time, evgenia. i have to end because i'm so mindful that this is very personal and very difficult for you. i have to end with just a personal thought. you've described the difficulties that you and vladimir have confronted. vladimir is now in prison, faces the possibility of a very long prison sentence. where's the hope? the hope is, the hope is in the fact that everyone has finally realised or was forced to stop closing their eyes to who

they have not come then russia, they have not sanctioned russia and most of them understand russia's motives and that that's the merits of course goals to absolutely. ready faults, russia, diplomacy, you know, run by essentially by love role, but all the deputy prime foreign ministers. absolutely brilliant as well. and of course, the hard node which bricks, which is going to be bricks plus shown guy corporation, organization. the strategic partnership between the rest and the chinese and these interlocking partnerships between russia, china, india, any run the, what i termed a few weeks ago, the quad that really matters. these are the quad or across the region that really matter. so terms of soft power globally, russia has got it because they manage to explain their position. this. the thing is because they cannot, in fact, finish this war in 20 minutes, because this will be written, mix up american shock and all. yeah. and that's not what russia once russia, once the global size, the global south on their side. so we have to be little by little, this form of chinese starch, torture,

of russia to reclaim lands. he's claiming that history only started in europe in 1783 when crimea was unaware for the 1st time annexed for the 1st time by catherine the great. he's trying to basically deny that prior to that, 1783 dead that all of europe is to before that didn't exist. so we are involved in history was with vladimir putin and also having to contend with the full on on slot of russian propaganda. and it's b who's our own governments. to be frank about this and to push back in your bucket call, put in a survivalist. can you survive this like she he can. pollutant is a very capable of adapting and he can survive if we let him survive in the sense of being able to prevail in this particular information more. and this more in ukraine it pollutant gets put in depression. of course, i also wouldn't be surprising, given this massive strategic miscalculation that he's made. but he's also quite capable of being so ruthless and playing so dirty that he can get live on, you know, to keep on basically prosec

it's russia is weakened. russia does not have enough in terms of its weaponry. it does not house targeted weapon range running out of it. it's using now indiscriminately weapons that it has from service era. so that's, that's the context. it's happening. yes. so beyond that context and i think this is the thing and i think that gets back to the question that you mentioned, which is very important. what is the ultimate goal? the goal is a weakened russia, and that raises all sorts of deep problems, of course one. but of course, i'm sure you would agree with me. one cannot. we can russia by pretending that it's weak. i mean, if you actually want to win over a powerful adversary, you need to be fully aware of the strengths and weaknesses. okay, you mentioned something about a country that is, of course, very powerful. i mean, to say, the largest on the planet, a straddling duration landmass, of course, from europe a to the borders with japan. i mean there's no question about it. there's no, it's not that it can be taken. it has to be taken seriously. but i think th

with the old aim of finding, solving the russia question. russia far manifesto offered offset the usa speaking to destroy russia by waking up the property will with its partners. if you crate south africa seeks alternative to the u. s. dollar and international trade, it towed to the bricks, group of country for a better option with all right, highlighting the best of the week. here we're not international, and of course, today's main headlines. it's the weekly welcome to do stock. now, with the latest developments from the conflict in ukraine now, according to local officials, a one man has been killed as ukraine shell at the city of don. yet, that brings a total number of civilian deaths over there. now this week to at least 9. meantime, authorities in the neighboring separate ology region of also said that key about hillary talking to the cemetery officials, adding there's no russian military installation there. elsewhere, russian troops reports li, gain troll over a suburb of the strategically important town of solid. our russian defense ministry said the ukrainian forces suffered

and the russia isn't typing. we can, i mean that's wrong, but the general, surely know, all the, you know, i'm pushing is very good at signaling. he, he showed them what russia possesses in terms of height, sonic about hypersonic weapons and what have you. i mean, people who are in the no, no, it's the general public that may be led astray. but people who make decisions, they actually know about that. last my understanding of history generally, you know, there was this not in the context of the festival wolf example. it was sets rather well. those who started to write about the dots too it's, that's the example the british army were led by you know, you know, they were led by donkeys, the lions, bring that by donkeys. so, you know, in terms of strategic sense, i think you to understand your audience understand this. i think it's important to realize that the general approach and thus this is the media cycle here. whether, whether the thing privately and not being the, what they're doing here in terms of signals y

outside of russia, russia, be great again. and that's, you know, the rallying point for that happens to be vladimir putin. it's all very, you know, deliberate and beneficial to him and his power. right. right. and so, you know, it seems that that and you go into this in the book in some detail, it seems the russian identity is a negative, opposed to a positive. you know, not our people and those others that are not ours nationally in russia. yeah. now this is a great concept and i don't want to get too deep in sociology, but one of the sort of sort of leading forces is in russian sociology is in the book, sort of explains how because russia's and what defines russia and what defines russian ness has been opaque and unclear throughout most of modern history. it's a lot easier for russians to identify themselves with things not they're not in favor of lgbt equality. they're not in favor of the kind of normal western that we all embrace as part of this is self-serving, again, because what putin wants is he wants to portray his as

at the same time, we encourage all russian people inside russia, outside of russia, to do their part, to stop this war. and to bring down this a talkative, resume of, of a lot of puts it, everybody chooses what they do according to their own abilities, according to their own beliefs and appetites for reese. but to confront this regime is i think, a duty off any reasonable person. and that we want to put the tools into the hands of people who believe that they can do more and who can little little bits and pieces spread out leaflets in some cases, sabotage, etc, etc. it's all completely sabotage isn't bits and pieces. sabotage is a pretty serious thing to get engaged in. yes, but, but it is our goal to bring down this resume and sabotage is one of the non violent instruments to do that. how is it done? value sabotage? how's that? number people have been blowing up enlistment centers haven't been blowing up. i've never, i think to mistaken, there has never been a blow up of in miss min center, or are they they have been studying fired to an enlistment center that enlists people to fight

those countries walk years, russia who might accuse russia are the ones who i'll be in there for long and as new york or analysis and connie analysis, i think they are afraid of rational competing with them. now, for the example that the approach of russia should differ very much from the upper down approach. what is their approach like law is so far for the last 50 years or is it one? previously, it was colonial, and up afterwards it wasn't near columbia. i didn't see the difference and africa for the last 50 years. he into a didn't get anything from them. he 3 minority, it was 50 years ago. i remember read, you know, i don't know where it was. i'll keep that it in, in the sixty's to african countries, the salon and ghana. there were on the same level, a south korea that i saw. where are they know these 2 african countries and oil is korea know why? because they invested into zullie in south korea. what is they didn't do that in africa. why do you think i didn't do that in africa? i don't know willoughby for this. is better that africa remains only to source or for role material. wha

and now russia is fighting a war. just imagine that where the country, whose population is believed to be officially believe to be in russia, but at the same people with russia it's, it's just mind boggling that russia has been able to, to fight their way because it has fought over the past 11 months given the relations between ukrainians and russians, given the relations between russia and the west. so you know, i'm not surprised that the at the level of anger and mutual recrimination. and so what surprised that it is, it's still held in check, but there's still very wide latitude that people enjoy people on the right side if you like that, that these people enjoy when they discuss things on the battlefield and discuss things at the head for us it doesn't limit the whole thing is not limited to just the me to man your mention, but a whole array of a walk our respondents using the freedom, freedom of speech to the hilt, i would say. but what's left of it in tongue and you'll get on the free press. hasn't been a huge w

>> notably we are not waging war with russia, we are supporting a free country invaded by russia in their fight for freedom and their fight for democracy ensuring they have the tools and means necessary that communications aid, humanitarian aid and yes weapons and legal aid necessary for them to fight for freedom and defeat an aggressor major crossing into the border and committed scountless atrocities across the country. >> in terms of the amount of susupport, is 31 and 18 from tas going to make a difference on the field? what is it mean in the fight that's happening now? >> coupleded with a couple thin. the other nations will be sending so it's part of the effort for the united states and partner nations to ensure ukrainians have the tools on the battlefield need. a month and a half ago i was speaking with a member of the ukrainian parliament telling me about the reality on the ground, a small former country fighting with soviet style military against a large soviet country being russia more of this equipment and she was talking about the reality, they can have more technically advanced

those countries walk years. russia who might accuse russia are the ones who i've been there for long and as new york or analysis and calling analysis. i think they are afraid of russia competing with them now enough. da, da, da, da. the approach of russia should differ very much from the upper down approach. what is their approach like law is so, so far, for the last 50 years or even one. previously it was colonial, and up afterwards he thought it was it neo colonial. i didn't see the difference. and africa for the last 50 years. he and it didn't get anything from them. it's raymond, what it was 50 years ago. i remember read, you know, don't know where exactly that it's in, in the sixty's to african countries, the salon and ghana there were on the same level as south korea that day. so where are they know these 2 african countries an oil is korea know why? because they invested intensively in south korea. what is they didn't do that in africa. why do you think i didn't do that in africa? i don't or will be for this is better does africa remains only to source or for rural material? w

and now russia is fighting a war. just imagine that wherever country, whose population is believed to be officially believe to be in russia part of the same people with russia. it's, it's just mind boggling that russia has been able to, to fight their way because it has fought over the past 11 months, given the relations between the ukrainians and russians, given the relations between russia and the west. so, you know, i'm not surprised that they at the level of anger and mutual recrimination. i'm somewhat surprised that it is. it's still held in check up. there's still very wide latitude that people enjoy people on the right side if you like, that that these people enjoy. when they discuss things on the battlefield and discuss things at the head for us, it doesn't limits. the whole thing is not limited to just the me, the day, the to amend your mention. but the whole ray of a walk our respondents using the freedom, freedom of speech to the hilt. i would say, well, what's left of it in tongue you'll get on the free pr

the old aim of finally solving the russia question. right as far as coalition in with, in europe and is using new claim to wait a proxy war. russia, south africa, 30 using the us dollar in international trade as it is the bricks group of countries for better options. and the indian government criticizes a new tv. the wi fi about prime is in the render mode, the saying that he's promote a colonial mindset. a mommy and today we'll take a look at the latest is plus it talk to stories of the week gone by. we start with the latest developments in the ukraine conflict. one man has been reported killed in recent ingrained shelling of the city of dennis, bringing the total number of civilian deaths in the region this week to at least 9 authorities in the neighboring zappa rosa region. i have also said the artillery fire from his forces have heavily damaged a cemetery. official says there was no rush and insulation within the vicinity. elsewhere, russian, jews have reportedly gain control over a suburb of the strategically important town of sod

i always think of western europe and russia as being an economic marriage made in heaven. russia has resources and needs capital. russia has some technology, western western europe has capital and technology needs resources. this is the really the basis for a true economic alliance. but that's what, that's what washington didn't. why? that was just the point i was going to get to that washington has never wanted that to happen. and that's indeed why they, even though they paid lip service to gorbachev division, they were never going to allow go. but job zation to happen. now the, the question is why has western europe western european politicians failed so comprehensively here? and by the way, in the course of failing, i think they've said western europe for a tremendous amount of economic and political trouble in the coming decade. my fear is that the center will collapse in western europe and then you will have a choice between left and the right. i would prefer that we would go in the left direction, but my fear is the wife is going to win out. and that would be a terrible step ba

they will not know when the problem, i mean, i mean if it's not about being pro russia anti russia pro, put, why don't you have a debate about the issues that's all i tried to do on this program. ok, you can just sent all you want. you can tell me anything you want. we barring swearing at me and i don't really care because it's your opinion. let me go to jo. jo in washington alexandria, excuse me. joseph morale, the vaunted e u foreign policy chief. he said something very curious. the last few days he said it west house is war. ukraine, big, but respect, russia because russia defeated napoleon and hitler. so that's why the western support, ukraine. i mean the, the, the lack of logic and clear thinking from these people is really astounding. i mean, their foreign policy chief doesn't know history very well that makes him, you know, a person to, to, to talk about the entire blocks security future with its neighbor, extraordinary, the lack of merit and competence. these people have jo, you know, sometimes these people that are held up in the media as being the great leaders are not very s

and is using ukraine to wage a proxy war against russia, with the old aim of finally solving the russia question. like hitler who sought a final solution to the jewish question. so de la rob did not. men says words calling out the west, dirty tactics as it attempts to stop the global shift in power. he started by addressing the us versus them mentality from the joint declaration on e u natal corporation, which was just signed on january 10th aimed at protecting. it's 1000000000 citizens, as it states, she was gonna lose the rest of the world to quote, high representative, the e u for foreign affairs and security policy shows at burrell is a jungle that stifles progress in the garden, and must therefore be read formatted, adjusted to their needs and turned into new style colonies in order to use new methods to ruthlessly pump out resources from them. these methods are all too familiar and include demonization blackmail, sanctions, threats of force and much mold on the west course on destroying traditional ties between historical partners. in different regions and for augmenting andy stab

so essentially, to minimize russia influence in the world and, and russia's potential to be a great power when you, when they were doing. i mean, that was the goal of nato expansion. it wasn't just the supper club or everybody can join. and you know, we'll have a good time. it was, it was done in order to get in the book. right. i guess, i guess the only other thing we need to know is that how many ukrainians are they were willing to die to for this plan to come to fruition. ok. and having a essentially a failed state in the center of europe. gentlemen, i'm going to jump in, we're going to go to a short break. and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on some real new stake with our tea. ah, for for only one main thing is important. naziism. internationally speaking, that is that nations, but that's allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the mind, the nations who are the slaves, americans, brock, obama, and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. and international law exist as long as it serves american interest. if it doesn't, it does

and now russia is fighting a war. just imagine it where the country, whose population is believed to be officially believe to be in russia, but of the same people with russia. it's, it's just mind boggling that russia has been able to, to fight their weight as it has fought over the past 11 months, given the relations between ukrainians and russians, given the relations between russia and the west. so, you know, i'm not surprised that the at the level of anger and the mutual recrimination, i'm somewhat surprised that it is. it's still held in check, but there's still very wide latitude that people enjoy people on the right side if you like that, that these people enjoy. when they discuss things on the battlefield and discuss things at the head for us, it doesn't limit. the whole thing is not limited to just the me, the day, the, to a man you're mention. but a whole array of a walk our respondents using the freedom, freedom of speech to the hilt, i would say. but what's left of it in tongue, does your get on the free p

russia ignored the ruling. damn. there's a tragedy to a major population. in 1962, the united states was ready to go to war to nuclear war with russia. but soviet union then overshoot your missiles in cuba. although you would agree, i think with me that mr. crusher was not planning a nuclear doctor, just the united states, wrong few about positions, he was only looking for a balance over the past year. since you raised the nuclear issue over the past year, russian officials have kept up a pretty constant drum beat about rushes nuclear weapons. does russia really want to move from deterrence, nuclear deterrence, to nuclear black male? well, i wouldn't call it nuclear blackmail because you make all the time and she knew what the times is. blackmail in a way. well, this is, this is a much more dangerous game. this is do what we want. well, alice isn't it is what else? yes, yes, but if you look at that from the russian angle, and again, i do not invite you to do emphasize where, where, where the russian. but just l

i mean, not against it, wants to buy a gas to use russia. many analysts here in russia believed that ultimate in the core of the crisis, is not even the state of your brain whether it belongs on the east or on the west, but rather a whole continent of price is a crisis all by capitalizing practice of. busy governance and crisis of national identities in russia, ukraine are going to west as well as the classes of or human values. given your interest in history, do you think humanity has ever faced such more than not? no, no, it is the 1st so dangerous cries in the history of humanity. after 945, we are in position of means of destruction of unprecedented. we can eliminate life. on the same time, we'll have a devil of new technologies and productive forces which can be used for the profit of humans. but for the time being they are creating more problems and they're used to very often get into so much. so i believe this issue, we said may be not only under characters and, but from the illusion. 2 hour days a has exhausted it's possibilities and

so i don't think show was entirely red when he said russia build a strategically russia building 22, the will see 2023 and 24. so you grant needs much more to this in itself. and 2 needs much more to lever it is $33.00. and basically keep the rational auto ukraine which will be the only condition or the only guarantee for real peace. so i think we could be seen the beginning of a turning point, but i'm afraid while necessary is not enough. you bring needs much more. we need to send much more to the granting the long rich me sales aircraft and everything the needs. we think commissioner worker to basically, you know, regarding for my independance, why? because basically russia asking to destroy your grant and change at all their goals for their team to try. all right, so there's a lot of high level discussions this week. we've got those military chiefs that need her, which you have mentioned the the 3rd ramstein summit on friday, which you mentioned actually do you see changes in the west response to the work you're saying? you're not going to see major changes? no, i think we're goin

it's natal wanting to get to russia to we can russia, and now we have the situation on our hands. i can become much worse than just the situation. approx your new child. i mean, we all agree. it's a proxy war here. we can talk about how it is existential for what party. but i would posit that it is existential for nato. not for american security, not by a long shot, but nato. they're putting everything on the table here. this is a, this is a game of russian roulette here, and they're the ones pulling the trigger. go ahead, john. yeah, i think that's right. and i think that's it, though i do agree with the manual told as well, that it's existential for the united states. and in the sense that definitely for nato, but also for the americans in the sense that they postwar germany of the united states is of course on the head, germany of the dollar. as well as on military supremacy and the americans and, and the europeans as well. for that matter have shot themselves in the foot on the monetary question. i buy as we know of freezing people's assets and essentially stealing that the mo

it has been accused of supplying military drones to russia to aid russia, in its effort, in its military effort in ukraine. so really, there has been plenty of speculation as to who's behind these attacks. maybe it's israel, you know, the usual suspects are when it comes to that part of the world. and to ron, maybe in the united states, both nations have explicitly denied their involvement. heavily pentagon spokesperson brigadier general, patrick riders said, no u. s. military forces were involved in strikes in iran, but declined to commend further. so eager as he was saying that the facility was only slightly damaged to look pretty minor, frankly is rarely media as cold a whole story essentially a lie. and when you talk about potential culprits behind this, so this drone attack in iran, ok, as you say, it could be some sort of clandestine israeli thing. could be the codes as well. it could be any kind of us sympathizing group in that part of the world, frankly, in the fact that iran hasn't singled anyone out and yet is only right now, reportedly summoning the ukrainian ambassador in the

and now russia is fighting a war. just imagine that where the country, whose population is believed to be officially believe to be in russia, but of the same people with russia. it's, it's just mind boggling that russia has been able to, to fight their way because it has fought over the past 11 months, given the relations between ukrainians and russians, given the relations between russia and the west. so, you know, i'm not surprised that they at the level of anger and mutual recrimination. i'm somewhat surprised that it is. it's still held in check up. there's still very wide latitude that people enjoy people on the right side if you like, that that these people enjoy. when they discuss things on the battlefield and discuss things at the head for us, it doesn't limits. the whole thing is not limited to just the me to day the, to amend your mention. but the whole ray of a walk our respondents using the freedom, freedom of speech to the hilt, i would say. but what's left of it in tongue. ready you'll get on the free pr

the same with russia. if you talk to young russians now in moscow, saint petersburg, the biggest cities, very much like young french, young germans, young americans, they are very open minded. but there is a kind of historical overhang. and to expect that democracy is going to come about in russia ten years time, 15 years time, it's going to take longer than that because of the weight of the past and the strength of russian culture. >> not in my lifetime. >> last question and then we will wrap it up. >> my question is, why these talks we are having are not in mainstream media. right now, with russia and china, who knows what will happen,. where in competition with china. it seems to me that people on the street are just not familiar with the fact that we are really at war. >> i don't know that people are unaware of it. it's always very hard to quantify what people know, what they think, you can do opinion polls, but i think that in the case of russia, the ukraine war is pretty well understood and observed.

, the united states versus russia, or nato versus russia. nothing could be farther from the truth. in the military operations, 5th months, russia liberated the entire lugens people's republic. the black sea grained deal was also reached between moscow and keith with turkey and the united nations helping broker. the agreement. ukrainian grain could now return to the international market. under the protection of the russian navy, all after the west accused moscow of sparking a wave of world hunger, payton is weapon ising hunger. he's using feed security as a callous to of all the decision to weaponized food is moscow's, and moscow's along this includes countries already under enormous doris. however, africans made it clear who was really to blame here. so lexia, or as far as access to russian products is concerned, the african union members are facing swift related sanction problems. as most of our banks have ties with european bunks, the usual payment procedures are no longer available to them. the vast majority of the grain exported under th

and just to put the russia and the united states on the same world food here, because russia is not fighting on the other side of the globe for some corporate interest. this is a very direct, very immediate, very visceral struggle for us. and we see that as a struggle for our own independence, not for the ukrainian land, not against the ukrainian people, but against the western efforts to militarize our neighbor. and to turn it into a hostile state against us. is it fair to equip russia and america here? well, and it's a school clerk. it's a matter of firm you know you if your world trickled in pencil bonnie sandra, raising which again, tensile scene. and perhaps a young despite a glove, went united states house arsenal and defied. it's a national order or a more derucia heart. what am elizabeth comparisons? it's about vital interest. united states hasn't fought on its territory. we are fighting on her, on our border and i, in the territory that historically not only belong to the, the, the russian le land, but also host russian. people hold where that's one way to look at. see, and what, an

and that happened with regards to russia. there augusta run and with regards to many other countries. but if you look at the particulars of the story, you know, our young, 22 year old woman who was detained in tac, ron, it happened she was visiting her brother. she was out of town, and her family never got a chance to see her again. now i know there are many speculations about what actually happened, that her family, for a long time was very bitter about the way how this whole situation was handled. i wonder as, as a woman, as a mother of 2 daughters as a university professor, i'm sure you have many similar students. what was your personal reaction knob to the weight was played out and used but to the actual tragedy to what happened to that girl to that.

as russia now bitten off more than it can chew. russia certainly confronting the most difficult issue militarily, politically, socially internationally. something that i think very few people been thought that it would have to confront. but it's coping it's learning. it's improving friends, but it's hard. it's going to be hard for, for quite some time. i'm sure you say it's coping and improving things. what should we read into all the changes of command desperation, kremlin anger at the failure so far? i think that would be very superficial. there's certainly any amount of anger you can imagine, although much what's happening on the ground in various places. but i think you should read into that and move to a streamline the chain of command and to prepare for i think more decisive action. a lot of people in russia were complaining and still complaining that russia is fighting with its hand almost tied behind its back. and that may change where they a new structure and i think a new strategy that lives behind it. moscow has been attempting to stifle criticism with the threat of up to 1

the russia is building all around the world right now. a grain exports from russia to egypt, or on going and our sizable. and in july, there'll be a summit in some petersburg venice of the north summit between russia and africa. egypt is very much looking forward to being a part of that lateral. had a few comments regarding ukraine. it talked about the special military operation that how ukrainian its western partners have been involved and sabotage, for example. and they, and he says they've been preparing for war in ukraine 4 years later off saying the west is poised to send even more weapons to ukraine. and russia is taking all the necessary steps, but to prevent ukraine, essentially from being a threat to russia. lateral fall, he drew on the comment by the nato chief, yet installed in book recently installed bugs saying the path to peace in ukraine is by supplying more weapons to ukraine lateral for centuries, saying people are not stupid. people know what's going on, that nathan has been directly involved in this hybrid war with russ

, me and i was here in russia. read that ultimate in the crisis is not even the state of your brain, whether it belongs on the east or on the west, but rather a whole continent that price is a crisis all by capitalizing that process of global governance and crisis of national identities. in russia, ukraine are going to west as well as the crisis of more human values. given your interest in history, do you think humanity has ever faced such more than not? no, no, it is the 1st so dangerous cries in the history of humanity. after 945, we are in position of means of destruction, of unprecedented. we can eliminate life from us. on the same time, we'll have a devil of new technologies and productive forces which can be used for the profit of humans. but for the time being, they are creating more problems and they're used to very often get into so much. so i believe this issue, we said may be not only under characters and, but from the leasing illusion. 2 hour days a has exhausted it's possibilities. and with 2 event and

i mean, not against the war runs by naval against russia. many i was here in russia believe ultimately the core of this crisis is not even the state of your brain whether it belongs on the east or on the west, but rather a whole continent of price is a crisis of capitalism at crisis of. busy global governance and crisis of national identities in russia and your brain and in the west as well as the crisis of war, human values. given your interest in and history, do you think humanity has ever faced such a board in north? no, no. it is the 1st so dangerous cries in the history of humanity. after 945, we are in position of means of destruction, of unprecedented. we can eliminate life. on the same time, we'll have a devil of new technologies and productive forces which can be used for the profit of humans. but for the time being they are creating more problems and they're used very often into social much so i believe is huge issue. we said may be not only under characters and but from the leasing illusion. 2 hour days a has exhausted it's possib

actually expect an explanation out of russia. the continent was pretty firm when the war started, but it will not be engaging in any kind of rhetoric between the hours and the big clearly understand the position of germany. and what the natal grouping had done to push russia to the place that it is today. we believe that europe still views africa within the prism of colonialism within the prism of less then. and they have still to treat as all look at africans as equal people with their own urgency. and this reminds me of the, the comments by e. u foreign policy chief shows of the route who really stirred up the motions of his own. when he said the following beauty, he said, and we have built, a goddess advocacy works is the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity, and social cohesion. that the human kind has been able to build this 3 things together. the rest of the world must of the rest of the goal. it's a jungle and the jungle could invade the garden and the gardeners should think of it. they were here scou

and now russia is fighting a war. we just imagine that wherever country whose population is believed to be officially believe to be in russia, but of the same people with russia. it's, it's just mind boggling that russia has been able to, to fight their way because it has fought over the past 11 months, given the relations between the ukrainians and russians, given the relations between russia and the west. so, you know, i'm not surprised that the at the level of anger and mutual recrimination, i'm somewhat surprised that it is, it's still held in check, but there's still very wide latitude that people enjoy people on the right side if you like that that these people enjoy when they discuss things on the battlefield and discuss things at the head for us, it doesn't limits. the whole thing is not limited to just the me, the day, the to amend your mention. but a whole ray of a walk or respondents using the freedom. freedom of speech to the hilt, i would say, well, what's left of it in tongue you'll get on the free press

the fear is, without them, russia's advance might not stop at soledar. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. elisabeth braw, a resident fellow at the american enterprise institute, spoke to us earlier about the significance of russia moving into soledar. it's important in the sense that russia has not been able to capture any sort of town, let alone city, for a long time now, as the correspondentjust said. but even more important i think is the fact that now the kremlin can tell the russian population that things are going our way, and the russian population is not going to say, "how big was the town? "is it big enough for us to be satisfied?" they will see that the russian forces have captured, if that is indeed the case, have captured a town, and that will give them some hope and that will in turn encourage them or entice them to support the war, because we should remember that the war was not going to last this long. even in russia, people's patience will start wearing thin when young men just kept dying without any gains to show for it. what sort of reac

and now russia is fighting a war. we just imagine that wherever country, whose population is believed to be officially believe to be in russia, but at the same people with russia it's, it's just mind boggling that russia has been able to, to fight their way because it has fought over the past 11 months given the relations between ukrainians and russians, given the relations between russia and the west. so you know, i'm not surprised that they at the level of anger and the mutual recrimination. i'm somewhat surprised that it is. it's still held in check, but they're still very wide latitude that people enjoy people on the right side if you like, that that these people enjoy. when they discuss things on the battlefield and discuss things at the head for us, it doesn't limits. the whole thing is not limited to just the need to amend your mention, but the whole array of walk our respondents using the freedom. freedom of speech to the hilt, i would say. but what's left of it in tongue you'll get on the free press hasn't be

russia. and secondly, the humiliation of russians and the kuta tar in 2014. when the west sided with the anti russian regime without an attempt to dial back the bombing of la ganske in odessa, no one investigated. there were no tribunals that minsk agreements was just to give you a cream more time and weapons. years ago we were the only ones who saw the implementation of the minsk agreements, all the others were cheaters. but another interesting point was that the us regular of for the western globalization is collapsing and washington is trying to retain laptops, bought by a going, as far as a legitimate means to achieve that. any means possible. trying to create a rift between countries to make sure that the majority stick to it's a rhetoric. i also understand you were there among many, many journalists from all around the world. what's that? was it just ukraine or what are some other topics that level of touch down on as well? no, i was not just the crane. we also heard about the stand out

you must support russia. you must actively support russia, and you shld defend russia. sean: boikov has led groups of australian cossacks to russia where they fired guns and visited a military training facility. [gunshots] sean: in 2018, simeon boikov told a russian media outlet, "we have a unique opportunity to support russia from within an enemy state." he was referring to australia. he said cossacks in australia could "pursue a pro-russian position, lobby politicians and members of parliament, oppose anyone who lies about russia, attacks russia, or imposes sanctions. basically, they can wage an information war." sean: why do you regard australia as an enemy state? simeon: no, australia, in this context, a state which is placing sanctions against russia and behaving in an anti-russian manner, you know, in that way could be perceived that the activities are not the activities of an ally. the main thing to know is we're not against australia at all. we love australia. we will defend australia, and we'll try to defend it, and we wanna facilitate the rehabilitation of aus

, the united states versus russia, or nato versus russia. nothing could be farther from the truth. in the military operations, 5th months, russia liberated the entire lugens people's republic. the black sea grained deal was also reached between moscow and keith with turkey and the united nations helping broker. the agreement. ukrainian grain could now return to the international market. under the protection of the russian navy, all after the west accused moscow of sparking a wave of world hunger, payton is weapon ising hunger. he's using feed security as a callous to of all the decision to weaponized food is moscow's and moscow along this includes countries already under enormous doris. however, africans made it clear who was really to blame here. so lexia, or as far as access to russian products is concerned, the african union members are facing swift related sanction problem, as well as most of our banks have ties with european bunks. usual payment procedures are no longer available to them over the vast majority of the grain exported unde

it is not an offensive threat to russia. there is no offense for fred to russia. with follows germany's approval to send 14 of its main battle tanks to ukraine following months of pressure from nato allies and kias. russia has a que sperling of not encouraging a peaceful solution to the ukraine. conflicts saying it's instead focused on permanent escalation, which is damn just to get a minute to you. once again, we see that germany, like it's closest allies, is not interested in a diplomatic solution to the crane crisis. it is focused on this permanence escalation and unlimited pumping of the key regime with more and more deadly weapons. read lines arresting of the past and has pledged to provide 14 leopard to a 6 tanks on that bundle space stocks, as well as training ukrainian crews. so many will also issue transfer permits to other allies that wants to want to deliver tanks from their own supplies. the country's foreign minister has called on e u. member states to unite in the war efforts against russia. and therefore, i have sent already in the last days. yes, w

doing this and russia doing that. so musk is that he's putting his money where his mouth is. and i applaud him for that. the us democrat party use false allegations against moscow to put twitter in mind. find this story and much more on her web page at r. c dot com and as the new year begins, one of the world's biggest crypto scandals continues the person responsible for one of the most crippling single day loss of assets in history has pleaded not guilty to fraud related charges. same bakeman fried has been released on bail until his trial kicks off in october. this year. are t contributor christopher and takes a closer look at the downfall of his crypto empire. billions of dollars missing debauchery in the bahamas, massive fraud. these are just some of the revelations that we know of surrounding the collapse of f t x. the crypt exchange led by the now infamous sam bagman fried i k s b s. he initially tried to peddle a world that f t x. it's simply mislabeled $10000000000.00 on the balance sheet as an explanation for

and russia has weapons that nobody else has. and again, those missiles will be in the mediterranean, and russia has been interested in projecting power in the mediterranean because it has a naval base in syria in tart us. and so i assume that that's where ra russian fleet is heading in order to be able to cover is that part of the mediterranean, which has already got the area defense systems rush near the front systems in place, which kind of limits need going proof of how they operate in and all of a mediterranean, and obviously the proximity and givens a range of those hypersonic missiles. it is a direct message to though the western allies, a basically to show that russia has the capability to reach him and they have no defense the fence expert marina muran. thank you so much for your time and all those very interesting insights. thank you. ah, how will china as the easing of coven restrictions impact the world? only time will tell. but e u countries are astounding. the alarm saying they'd rather be safe and sorry, the europe

do you think that armenia's fate and future lies with russia, putin's russia? i don't want to talk about armenia. we are a separate country. i'm talking about artsakh. artsakh don't want to be part of azerbaijan, which is clear. it's all. and you're quite happy for a long—term reliance on vladimir putin? what do you mean? well, i mean, it's quite simple. it seems to me that you're saying we are now quite distant politically from yerevan, from the armenian government. so your only guarantor, your only, frankly, hope for survival is vladimir putin. it's not true. the president macron clearly announced and made a lot of efforts to support artsakh. by the way, the speaker of the french senate was also made the same statement. the us ambassador said recently we will cooperate with russia and try to find a solution to help artsakh to get out of this situation, which is why are manipulating a little bit because the western biggest country like france, the united states also clearly send a message that they are care about what's happening here. you know, there are pe

but the idea is that the social democrats, especially this chancellor, cannot see russia for what russia is or for what its allies see russia. as do you see, do you see this, this difference in perception? do you see that based on what we've seen, the last couple of days persisting will brent obviously that mean is an exaggeration, but it really speaks to a broader concern about that. i think a lot of security experts in the west have seen 1st of all this, this notion that if the worst off tomorrow, for some reason, there was a preemptive ceasefire that russia wanted to stop lighting in order to restock itself. so it can take another run it ukraine in the future on there, there are certainly a lot of corners of the, the german energy establishment, the german business elite and the german policy circles. that would welcome a return to business. as usual with the kremlin, i can guarantee you that those calls would come almost immediately. and so that's an incredibly concerning situation, because certainly we've seen that the prudent regime specifically not the concept of russia is a, is a

u to unite, and it's war effort against russia. and therefore, i've said already in the last days, yes, we have to do more to defend ukraine. yes, we have to do more also on things for the most important. and the crucial part is that we do it together and that we do not do the blame game in europe because we are fighting a war against russia and not against each other. thank you. let's cross live now to our, to contributor rachel mars then rachel, what are the latest developments on the story? yeah, well, as you can hear there, this is really just all about projecting unity. a p r, exercise. essentially berlin said that it wouldn't send modern leopard tanks unless washington sent its abrams tanks. apparently it was enough for word to come out of washington on tuesday that the u. s. would do that for germany to probably take a flying leap, sending 14 of its own leopards, and allowing other european countries to send theirs as well. so now germany finds itself leading the way in escalating a military conflict for europe and the west.

and russia is planning for new offences. they are building heavily up there, mobilized hundreds and thousands of new troops ramping production, acquiring ammunition from all to the new seems like wrong, north korea and, and, and therefore, we have to be prepared for a new russian offensive. that's exactly why denouncement made last week are so important. amal when more armor, more ammunition is more also long range. weapons like to high mars. but also the new announcements of boucher thanks. the u. s. defense department says it's unlikely russia can turn around its failures anytime soon. but it also says ukraine cannot expect ticket bell russia from the don't bass by the end of this year. let's get across to our correspondence. sonya found a car in key. so yes, and we saw in that report that the fight for bachman has come at a heavy cost. what is the latest you're hearing from the front line there? you're right. i mean the fighting continues in an around buck more in the donia region. ukrainian force, of course, still very m
