other battalion infamous for war crimes
is defending ukraine's second largest
city from russian forces neo-nazis

questions on ukraine's spirited defense
here's a report
battered
bruised
[Music]
besieged
after relentless russian bombardment and
civilian debts
ukraine's second largest city of mario
pole is on the edge
but still holding forth
moscow has launched an all-out war to
capture the city
which can act as the bridge between
donbass and crimea
two regions that are already under
russian control
according to reports from the ground
mariopol is mainly being defended by
ukraine's azov battalion
a unit infamous for war crimes and
torture tactics
[Music]
this video was released by the azov
battalion last week
the footage appears to show tanks
firing down a street in mario pole
the azov claims to have destroyed three
russian armoured vehicles and four
infantry fighting vehicles
mario pole is also where the battalion
has set up its headquarters
the azov special operations detachment
is a right-wing neo-nazi band of
soldiers
a volunteer militia
the azov was incorporated into the
national guard of ukraine in november
2014
after recapturing mario pole from
pro-russian separatists
russian president vladimir putin has
spoken of the presence of such units
within the ukrainian military to justify
his war we simply don't have any other
choice to protect our people and we'll
have to use the only available choice
that we will use today
the circumstances require immediate
resolute action
parliament

the don
people's republics and lugansk people

crimes against civilians
citizens of the russian federation
just a few days after the war started
the ukrainian national guard had shared
a video of supposed azov fighters
allegedly dipping bullets in pig fat for
use against muslim chechen fighters in
ukraine
the regiment brazenly flaunts the nazi
insignia
notably its wolf's angel logo the
original symbols used by the second ss
panzer division
das reish
the azov is least concerned about being
labeled neo-nazis
where did they get those symbols from in
the 1940s they weren't all new sometimes
it's easier to adopt something that
already exists
to the left wingers and liberals in the
west just having basic conservative
values is enough to be classified as a
nazi
while the world rallies behind ukraine
against russian aggression
the azov battalion's questionable
methods have cast a shadow on the
country's spirited defense

bureau report
india today
moscow continues its relentless attacks
against ukraine and ukraine president
zielinski continues to urge for peace
talks reports said that russian oligarch
and unofficial peacemaker ruban
abramovic presented president london
putin with a handwritten note from
zielinski on receiving this handwritten
note from zielinski that detailed the
warhead countries peace terms putin
reportedly said and i quote
tell him i will thrash them unquote the
hundred in no
ukraine's conditions for ending the war
earlier sanctioned russian oligarch
roman abramovich had accepted ukraine's
request to help in the negotiation to
bring an end to the war that began on
24th of february
sanctioned russian oligarch roman
abramovich who has been playing
peacemaker between russia and ukraine
was poisoned according to american
newspaper the wall street journal the
chelsea owner has been dividing his time
between istanbul moscow and kiev in a
bid to get sanctions leveled against him
lifted here is more
roman abramovic the russian oligarch who
took part in peace talks in ukraine
allegedly became target of an attack
during the negotiations
the wall street journal has claimed the
sanctioned russian tycoon and at least
two ukrainian negotiators suffered a
suspected bout of poisoning
the report adds that the condition of
the victims has since then improved and
their lives are out of danger
according to reports in the western
media the oligarch had flown from turkey
to russia
but met zelensky in cave on his way the
billionaire then flew to moscow with a
handwritten note from the ukrainian
president and delivered it to putin
the letter reportedly outlined kiev's
conditions for the end of war which
putin trashed
a brahmovic then returned to istanbul
and informed ukrainians of putin's
reaction
the alleged poisoning of abramovich and
other negotiators is being seen by
western news agencies like afp as a bid
to sabotage peace talks
with the two sides now negotiating
directly
there are many questions related to
abramovich that remain unanswered
has the brahmowitz fallen out of favor
with putin
will the west reward abramovic by
lifting the sanctions on him
or will abramovich's proximity to putin
continued to impact him
the sanctions imposed by the west have
already cost abramovic quite a fortune
he has had to let go of his prized
possession
chelsea football club
a brahmovich's attempt at peacemaking
was being seen by his critics as a bid
to clear sanctions slapped on him
bureau report
india today
who is roman abramovic owner of chelsea
football club one of the seven oligarchs
sanctioned by the uk government he's
currently acting as the peacemaker in
the ukraine russia talks that are going
on he held series of meetings as a peace
mediator held frequent meetings with
both putin and zielinski paslenski's
handwritten note to putin as well so
that's what you need to know about roman
abramovich for 33 days and counting
russia has been raining hell on ukraine
and zielinski has been asking for just
one thing from the west just one thing
more weapons to counter russian assault
now uk will send star streak high
velocity anti-air missiles to ukraine
the shoulder mounted missile that
travels at more than three times the
speed of sound to take down low-flying
enemy jets will this mark a new turn in
russia ukraine war
over 33 days
russian aircraft have been raining hell
on ukraine
but russian aircraft have also been
facing hell in the country
with large numbers of fighters and
helicopters brought down
by bruised but determined ukrainian air
defense units
since the beginning of the war ukraine
has been awash with lethal stinger
shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles
a weapon that has imposed a huge cost on
russia's air power superiority and will
to dominate
but now after over a month of constant
bombardment with its cities reeling from
a second wave of putin's aerial strikes
a new weapon is flowing into ukraine
one that will give it even more teeth
against putin's air force
days after the nato summit in brussels
the boris johnson government in the
united kingdom has decided to supply
ukraine with star streak the fastest
short-range air defense missile system
in existence
[Music]
the man portable shoulder-fired star
streak system
fires missiles that accelerate to up to
four times the speed of sound
[Music]
blindingly zooming into their targets
the weapon then launches three laser
beam riding submunitions increasing the
likelihood of a successful hit on their
target
the star streak has a number of
advantages over the stinger and igla
systems currently being used by
ukrainian air defense troops most
notably the star streak cannot be jammed
by infrared or radar countermeasures
britain's air defense commander has
declared that russian pilots will think
twice about getting into their planes
after british soldiers have trained
their ukrainian counterparts to fire
star streak
with this latest nato weapon entering a
high-tech battlefield will this give
putin's air power impulses reason to
stay grounded or has putin already war
gamed ukraine's new defenses
watch this space to find out what
happens next
bureau report india today
make no mistake viewers the russian war
machine is showing just no signs of
slowing down in the latest russia
launched four caliber cruise missiles to
target areas near the ukrainian capital
of kiev after admitting to the use of
kinzhal hypersonic air launched cruise
missile here's a look at the russian
missile's reigning fury on ukraine
a brooding night sky over the black sea
torn apart by four caliber cruise
missiles launched from a russian navy
bhuyan m missile boat
their targets ukrainian sites near the
country's capital keys
capable of hitting targets hundreds of
kilometers away with devastating
accuracy the use of caliber cruise
missiles signals a shift into the realm
of advanced weaponry in the second phase
of this war
the russian ministry of defense has
flaunted this video of the iskander's
short-range ballistic missile as well
being used to target a claimed foreign
mercenary unit using a cave shopping
mall as a reloading base for its rocket
units
the third major russian missile system
being used is the yakont high-speed
cruise missile seen here being launched
against a ukrainian weapons depot in the
western part of the country
the yakont is a progenitor of the
indo-russian ramos missile in service
with the indian armed forces
[Music]
and the missile that russia has used for
the first time in combat the kinzhal
hypersonic air-launched cruise missile
seen here smashing into a ukrainian
underground weapons depot the kimjal is
a nuclear-capable weapon that has of
course been used only with conventional
warheads in ukraine
four advanced russian missile systems
all for being used in anger against
ukraine
the damage they're causing plain for
their makers and the world to see
of course there's another russian
missile that's on operational alert
amidst this ukrainian crisis
a weapon stored away secretly inside
russia's bore class nuclear ballistic
missile submarines a weapon that will
hopefully never be
used the bulava a submarine-launched
intercontinental range ballistic missile
a cold war weapon that could bring about
the end of the world if ever fired in
anger
a weapon whose heightened state of alert
has sparked nuclear fares across the
world
as russia's war in ukraine rumbles
forward in its second month
missile power
will define the onward march
bureau report and yesterday
the current president of united states
of america is known to shoot his mouth
at times at inappropriate times than on
the matter of ukraine war and its
perpetrator vladimir putin
has been saying things that his staff is
scrambling to end up doing damage
control behind his back from war
criminal to regime change
has said it all apparently ad-libbed as
he strayed from carefully drafted
speeches the diplomatic fallout of such
comments is naturally serious because
when the us president says something in
a public speech it can really really be
taken back
it was saturday in ukraine when the
bombs began falling on the view to the
west of the country
the city had seen relative calm over the
month of war but the strikes at a fuel
depot sent smoke and flames billowing
into the air
[Music]
at about the same time around 400
kilometers further west
president joe biden of usa was meeting
ukrainian refugees at the national
stadium of poland in warsaw
when reporters asked him what he thought
of president putin of russia the u.s
president said he's a butcher
you see this and you're
you know you're dealing every day with
vladimir putin i mean
look at what he's done to these people
what does it make you think he's a
butcher
if putin was sending a message to biden
by bombing western ukraine because the
u.s president was in neighboring poland
then biden too had a message for putin
later that evening
it was a much awaited speech
from one who is called the leader of the
free world
at the end of his three-day visit to
europe in the backdrop of the raging war
to his east
president joe biden's words would in
effect indicate the direction western
strategy would take in the days to come
to the nazi holocaust for 27 minutes the
president of the united states spoke
showing full support for ukraine and
drawing out the parameters of western
response to russian action
and then suddenly
27 minutes later at the very end of his
speech he dropped an ad-libbed bombshell
russia's choice
we will have a different future a
brighter future rooted in democracy and
principle hope and light
of decency and dignity of freedom and
possibilities
for god's sake this man cannot remain
power
god bless you all
those nine ad-libbed words
for god's sake this man cannot remain in
power
set off alarm bells all over the
diplomatic world
it had u.s officials scrambling to
damage control and secretary of state
anthony blinken clarified that regime
change in russia was not on u.s agenda
made the point last night that
but this was typical joe biden he had
often been accused of letting his mouth
run away from prudence
during his 2008 campaign for
presidential nomination
biden had described another contender
as the first mainstream african-american
who is articulate and bright and clean
and a nice looking guy
[Music]
that contender was barack obama whose
running mate he later became and stayed
vice president during the obama
presidency
on ukraine as president of the united
states
joe biden had been building up to
getting his words get the better of u.s
policy
oh i i i think he is a worker
in the matter of a week biden had not
only called putin a war criminal he also
referred to him as a murderous dictator
a pure thug who is waging an immoral war
against the people of ukraine
he said the russian invasion of ukraine
was inhuman
some of what joe biden sometimes says is
considered nothing more important than a
gaf
like when he said iranian instead of
ukrainian during a state of the union
address on first of march
putin may circle kiev with tanks
but will never gain the hearts and souls
of the iranian people
but there are times when the seasoned
politician that he is
his verbal slip-ups may actually be
pointing to how things really are
but then as the president of the united
states he knows the weight his words
carry
during his presidential campaign joe
biden often told his audience how the
words of a president can matter
when they can send men and women to war
and how they can also bring peace
