the British the Germans are boasting that they’re providing assistance but it’s a very limited Military value in a situation that is dire so when it comes to the sanctions at least the current ones will have no significance at least not on Russia and uh as far as the weapons are concerned it’s going to take a while for it to for them to reach the Ukrainian front lines and even if they do as you mentioned the Manpower still continues to be a problem as Ukraine is severely outmanned at the moment there are there are H so there are allegations of NATO forces and soldiers from other nations making their way to the Ukrainian to Ukrainian soil fighting for Ukraine but of course none of that is in the open so as far as what it makes its way through the public ey is Ukrainian soldiers who

being in range of the Russian fire very soon meanwhile on Monday Vladimir zinski confirmed that small batches of us Aid were arriving however the Ukrainian president has urged for the supplies to be made faster in order to avoid Russ advancements in the ongoing [Music] War now the US state department has hinted that Russian troops used the banned chemical substance Chlor picin against the Armed Forces of Ukraine Washington is claiming that Moscow now stands in violation of the convention on the prohibition of chemical weapons as allegations and counter allegations Gallo let’s find out more about this band chemical agent well now chloropicrin is listed as a band choking agent by the ha uh which based Organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons now the colorless to faintly Yellow oily liquid is generally used as chemical warfare agent it’s used in agriculture as a soil fumigant it has also been used as a chemical warfare agent and a riot control agent the agent can be dispersed in multiple ways number one chloropicrin can be released into indoor air or outdoor air as liquid spray it can also contaminate water and food while speaking of absorption the choking agent can be absorbed systematically through inhalation ingestion and the skin and this all this causes severe irritation to lungs eyes and even skin now chloropicrin Vapors are heavier than the air and they will spread along the ground and collect and stay in poorly ventilated low Ling or confined areas and these spaces they include bunkers which Russia has been accused of targeting with the nerve agent upon exposure it causes severe irritation to the skin eyes respiratory tract and also gastrointestinal tract irritation apart from that people exposed to chloropicrin as a war gas were reported to have experienced nausea vomiting and diarrhea for a span of few days and even weeks ironically treatment is primarily supportive there is no antidote for chloropicrin toxicity now German forces fired the gas against Allied troops during World War I in one of the first uses of a chemical weapon it was used in large quantities during World War I and was stockpiled during World War II however it is now no longer authorized for military use now Russian military personnel are operating from an air base in West Africa’s ner while the base is still hosting US troops well uh the development has put us and Russian troops in close proximity at a time when the nation’s military and diplomatic rivalry has heightened over the conflict in Ukraine however speaking to Reuters a senior us defense official said that Russian forces are not mingling with us troops the US military personnel are using a separate hanger at Air Base 101 which is next to diori Amani International Airport in namami n’s Capital the move follows nun’s decision to expel US forces from the country in the month of March nier’s military government asked the US to withdraw all its forces from the country nearly 1,000 US military personnel have been stationed in ner to fight insurgents who killed thousands of people and displaced Millions more in the West African country in this fight Washington was n’s key partner until military HRA seized power in July [Applause] [Music] 2023 the latest development however has raised questions about the fate of us installations in the country the US and its allies have been forced to move their troops out of a number of African countries following military CPS recently US troops left Chad while French forces left Mali and Burkina Faso the Russians are pushing ahead and the ukrainians are clearly pulling back the situation on the battlefield is extremely Grim for Kev while Ukraine is waiting for the American military aid to trickle in Moscow is strategically exploiting Ukraine’s empty AR Ukrainian soldiers are openly admitting that retreat at this moment is the only option that is open for them however the French President Emanuel macron has once again made a pretty startling statement with potentially huge ramifications he wants french boots on Ukrainian soil and our next Port explains as to what this could mean in the larger context of the war Russia is battering Ukraine on the battlefield desperately short on troops and ammunition Ukrainian forces are facing a tet time on the Eastern front lines Russia is reing missiles and bombs to punch through the Ukrainian defenses the lack of ammunition is forcing outnumbered Ukrainian soldiers to pull back in Village after Village it surrender three on Sunday of course we don’t have enough shells if we compare with the beginning of the fulls scale Invasion when we fired up to 100 shells a day now we fire around 30 shells it’s a luxury we may be given five or six shells but more often we are not allowed to fire at the moment the defense lines around chva is very Dynamic we can say that everything is on fire we are holding our defense lines firmly repel daily attempts to assault on foot for Ukraine the situation is worsening fast and amid all this comes the Bluster French president Emanuel macron says he has not ruled out sending troops to Ukraine macro claims the issue will legitimately arise if Russia breaks through Ukrainian front lines and Cave makes the request a dangerous proposition the US Germany and the UK had earlier dismissed macron’s proposal carries significant risks potentially placing NATO troops in direct confrontation with Russia and escalating the conflict to unprecedented levels the much awaited US Congress Aid package is expected to help Ukraine Bridge its Firepower Gap but till that happens presumably in a few weeks Russia will continue to exploit Ukraine’s [Music] weaknesses now amid the Raging conflict in Ukraine Russia is putting on a defined display showcasing The Spoils of War Western military hardware seized from the battlefields watch this next report on how an exhibition in moscow’s Victory parket become a symbolic representation of Russia’s perceived triumph over NATO supplied armaments take a look [Music] in the heart of Moscow the Russians are enjoying the warm spring Sun as well as a glimpse of captured Western tanks armored vehicles and artillery pieces the exhibition features 32 armored vehicles all made in the United States Great Britain Germany France Sweden South Africa Finland Australia and Austria a diverse array of captured military might and now moscow’s water offies the armored vehicle is designed to transport Personnel they initially abandoned their own armor and installed finish armor which turns out to be 12 mm it can withstand 7.62 caliber but it cannot withstand a larger caliber that is a 12.7 machine gun of course I wouldn’t go fighting with something like this because if it’s shot with a machine gun everything will be destroyed the prized exhibits include the iconic leopard and the Abram stanks there is also the Bradley Fighting Vehicle all of them once operated by the Ukrainian forces and now fallen into Russian hands my personal impression is a little bit heavy because after all this war is very hard people die there but I see that as before our Russian soldiers they do not give up they keep fighting and protecting us the exhibition is a stark reminder of the wagies of this harsh conflict where even the most advanced Western Weaponry has been vulnerable under Russia’s Relentless assault reports from the front lines paint a Crim picture Ukraine has been forced to withdraw its us provided Abram’s M1 A1 battle tanks Outlast by Russian drone Warfare this has exploited the vulnerability of these formidable machines in terms of cover and dexterity the same Fate has befallen the German Leopard two tanks with the Ukrainian military on the verge of losing the entire contingent in the intense fighting despite the advertising of Abram’s tanks and so on it can confront them Russia has great potential both Technical and Military and great intellectual potential I think Western countries should not count on Russia’s weakness although of course we also have our own problems big problems as in every country the exhibition is another assertion of Russia’s determination to Prevail in a conflict regardless of the adversar technological superiority G report Von world is one for latest news download the Von app And subscribe to our YouTube channel moving on Russian forces are making their largest Advance since the start of the war in eastern Ukraine the advance comes at a time when Ukraine says that it’s struggling to defend the front line even as it waits for fresh ammunition approved by the United States Russian forces have used the artillery drought that have hampered Ukraine’s defense since December to push forward on the Eastern Front senior Ukrainian officials have warned of a possible threat to ke’s supply lines and hubs in the East that are now in the range of superior Russian Firepower Russia is now pushing towards three key areas the vital military Hub of poos west of a divka the Strategic Heights of chivar near bahmut and kurov in the Southeast Russia has claimed another Village near of divka the city

threaten Ukraine’s presence in dones and towards the occupied Port City of Mario pole meanwhile 14 people have been injured in the latest attack on the black Port sea of Odessa most of them needed hospitalization the attacks took place inside a postal Depot after a Russian ballistic missile was reported to have struck the facility a video shared by local officials shows most of the loading area reduced to Burnt debris Odessa has been frequently targeted by Russian missiles in the past 2 days eight people have been killed the US state department has hinted that Russian troops use the banned chemical substance chloropicrin against the Armed Forces of Ukraine Washington is claiming that Moscow now stands in violation of the convention of the prohibition of chemical weapons as allegations and counter allegations Galore my colleague Raa seel gets you all the details on this banned chemical agent well now Chlor picrin is listed as a band choking agent by the ha uh which based Organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons now the colorless to faintly Yellow oily liquid is generally used as chemical warfare agent it’s used in agriculture as a soil fumigant it has also Al been used as a chemical warfare agent and a riot control agent the agent can be dispersed in multiple ways number one chloropicrin can be released into indoor air or outdoor air as liquid spray it

in large quantities during World War one and was stockpiled during World War II however it is now no longer authorized for military use now Ukrainian forces near the bes Eastern stronghold of chassi Viara staring at a full-blown Russian Onslaught as they defend the city they say they are waiting for the much needed ammunition to renew their depleted reserves take a look at these drone visuals this is Ukraine’s strategic city of ch AIA once home to a population of 12,000 people all that is left now is ruins as a result of constant shelling by Russian forces for months buildings have been turned to Rubble streets abandoned houses and municipal offices charged and a gold Dome Church destroyed not one inch of chia has been spared the scale of Destruction is similar to that of bakut and ab div C cities which Ukraine yielded after months of Russian bombardment and huge losses for both sides Sides Now Russia’s Army has reached the outskirts of shivia capturing it will give Russia control of a Hilltop from which it can attack cities that form the backbone of Ukraine’s Eastern defenses Ukrainian forces defending chivar have run desperately short of ammunition amid intensified attacks from Russian troops and drones they await reinforcements from the United States which approved a major military package Ukraine’s 202 225th part me separate assault Battalion is currently fighting near Chia they say getting more artillery shells will be critical for them to hold their positions the United States believes Russia could be planning to weaponize space a congressional hearing discussed this possibility it was based on us intelligence reports that Russia is planning to arm a satellite with a possible nuclear weapon npace has always been seen as the final frontier but in the current age of Wars it seems to be becoming another Battlefield as well the US believes Russia is taking nuclear weapons into space us officials fear that Russia can deploy a space-based nuclear weapon such a weapon they say can disrupt American satellites if detonated close to the ground it could also Knock Out All Electronics vulnerable to an EMP or electromagnetic false this in turn could disrupt the world’s essential Communications scientific research meterological data agriculture Commerce and National Security Services assistant defense secretary for space policy gave his testimony on the subject to the Republican lead house um armed services committee he said that Russia is developing anti-satellite capability that can carry a nuclear device to space he also unders scored that such an indiscriminate weapon could jeopardize all satellites and make the low earth orbit unusable now the official statement is coming a week after Russia we to a un Nation Security Council resolution the United States and Japan had sponsored the resolution that called on all countries to prevent a dangerous nuclear arms race in outer space it would have prohibited development or deployment of nuclear arms of mass destruction in space already banned under a 1967 International treaty Russia called the resolution politicized while China abstained from voting in the 15 member Council the Russian decision I now fueled more tension prompting the US to question if Russia is concealing anything2 colleagues President Putin himself has said publicly that Russia has no intention of deploying nuclear weapons in space and so today’s veto begs the question why why if you are following the rules would you not support a resolution that reaffirms them what could you possibly be hiding the US Department of State alleged that Russia had used chemical weapons against the Ukrainian Army and this was the reason to impose additional sanctions against Russia interestingly last week Russia leveled similar charges against Ukraine at the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons o r op CW now there was a conference which was held and now the question arises who’s using chemical weapons against the other to discuss matters we’re joined by Dr Gilbert drro who’s an author historian and political commentator joining us from Brussels Dr doctor always a pleasure speaking with you is this a tit fortat move as Russia leveled similar charges against entirely possible that is the case the um the first victim of war is the truth and uh what we have seen over the past couple of years has borne that truth out uh all the way the Russians may very well have used chemical weapons but I would suggest it was in response to what they did what they reported and complained about uh for the Ukrainian side a week ago generally speaking everything that comes out of Ukraine and a lot that comes out of Washington is attributing to the Russians what the ukrainians are doing so I would take this uh this latest um accusation by the state department with great caution if chemical weapons are indeed being used on the battlefield by either side where is this war inching towards and we have been you know uh the idea of a nuclear war it’s been way too romanticized at the moment it had there have been too many threats around it are we really now moving towards it is it is this the first step that we’re going to see no I wouldn’t consider these latest accusations or charges and countercharges as signifying any particular escalation I think that the the the incidents that are at question here are very small nature and they are of testing the water to see what can be done and how far you can go I don’t think that this is leading us into a new Direction the weapons already being used in this war are of great uh destructive power most recently the Russians use over the past few months of so-called dumb bombs which have been smartened up and turned into glider bombs these are 500 ton 1,500 ton even three ton bombs with devastating impact that can tear up large parts of Battlefield and kill most anyone within 20 30 40 medes range so these weapons uh are weapons of great destructive power have already been used and the introduction of some chemical weapons here or there uh does not change situation greatly Dr drro now given your experience and your study of the region over spanning over decades I wanted to understand what consequence do American ameran sanctions have especially on a nation like Russia we have seen us impose several rounds of sanctions in the past anything happens and they impose further sanctions are these sanctions of any consequence the most significant sanctions which are of consequence have been the financial sanctions removing Russia from the Swift system has uh has had considerable impact on Russia’s commercial relations with the world it hasn’t uh for few months there were setbacks in the trade uh they were overcome a workarounds were arrived at and Russia more or less is doing quite well with with in its commercial relations particularly with the with the global South um otherwise the the um sanctions have either been counterproductive in the sense that they have caused much greater harm to the United States and particularly to Western Europe than they have to Russia uh or they have had n effect the latest sanctions that are discussed now in connection with the supposed use of chemical weapons will have nil effect to sanction a country’s military units uh for one or another abuse is an absurd proposition you are at war with them or you’re not at war with them and what difference does it make if the if individuals are named and are unable to visit the United States or own property there it’s this is just proforma it is checking the Box not the last time we spoke you had mentioned very categorically that yes uh the bill has been signed into law for the aid the military aid towards Ukraine but it’s not going to happen immediately would you want to put some kind of a timeline to it by when can American weapons finally make it to the Ukrainian front lines because Ukraine is desperately waiting for them well some weapons will other weapons won’t they won’t for months if not for years the United States and and its European allies are simply unable to produce in quantity the artillery shells and other uh and the the air defense systems that Ukraine desperately needs now if it is going to withstand the coming pummeling of a Russian offensive in full force uh the Russians have been softening up the lines they have been taking additional territory they have been take improving their positions as they say very understated way and Ukraine in the coming month or two is really unable to resist the the Russian moves that we see every day how long it will take for Patriots to arrive they don’t have Patriots in the warehouse ready to ship out to to Ukraine they don’t have artillery shells in the millions to to assist Ukraine um but the biggest issue has nothing to do with Western Supply it has to do with Ukraine’s own Manpower which is is in a Shabby State and they are unable to raise uh raise their their Battlefield numbers they their various military units are depleted and therefore ineffective that is nothing that uh shipment of further further um tanks or artillery pieces or attacks can Rectify so the the ukrainians are in a very difficult position the United States is and and the British the Germans are boasting that they’re providing assistance but it’s a very limited Military value in a situation that is dire so when it comes to the sanctions at least the current ones will have no significance at least not on Russia and uh as far as the weapons are concerned it’s going to take a while for it to for them to reach the Ukrainian front lines and even if they do as you mentioned the Manpower still continues to be a problem as Ukraine is severely out man at the moment there are there are H so there are allegations of NATO forces and soldiers from other nations making their way to the Ukrainian to Ukrainian soil fighting for

these statements from Cameron saying that the U it’s up to Ukraine how it uses weapons which are supplied by the UK do you see this as a direct escalation I I see it as a problem I I I do because what’s what’s absent from this and nearly everything that the West has been doing is that there is no strategy there’s no overarching even stated objective here’s what we want to accomplish here’s what these weapons are going to do is how it’s going to succeed for Ukraine here’s what success even looks like there’s none of that it’s just let’s give some weapons and then they can do whatever they want with it oblivious to what’s happening actually on the front lines where the armies are meeting uh which are decidedly going in Russia’s favor and it continues to move in that direction everything that goes on especially off the battlefields from what’s being produced by the Russian uh uh uh Ministry of Defense their industrial capacity they’re growing their army by by tens of thousands every month Ukraine will never be able to match that so by launching by giving basically permission to launch these missiles into Russian territory which you know Russia has said is is off limits then they risk that Russia will now with fire even more targets inside Ukraine in retaliation because Russia has many times more weapons that they can fire into Ukraine that they have thus far relatively held off to military targets or in energy infrastructure related to military capacity so this could go a lot further than what it has been and the talk of bringing in troops from from France is not a good sign I absolutely so in fact would you say that this points to differences within NATO members the European members and UK over how Ukraine is using these weapons and it said that it’s as you mentioned as well that it’s up to Ukraine as to how it chooses to use these weapons now what sort of an outcome are we looking at if that does happen well see that’s the that’s the whole issue you asked the right question there what is the outcome so people like General uh uh one of the retired American General Ben Hodes has often said we need to use these longer range missiles to drive the Russians out of Crimea which is absurd that that’s not how War works it hasn’t worked that way in the other direction Russia has fired thousands of long-range missiles throughout the entire Ukrainian territory but you see that has not brought them to their knees so the idea that firing a few longrange missiles into Russia will have any impact on the front line is just counter to to observed reality on the ground but it can fire them up and make them a lot angrier and make them expand their target list inside Ukraine bottom line is this is not going to help Ukraine win because at this point nothing can all it’s going to do is make the stir up that beehive make it more angry and it’s probably going to cause more casualties on the Ukraine side uh absolutely so I believe what I’m also trying to understand is that can a divided West or a divided NATO actually help Ukraine if these are the kind of statements that are coming out well it’s worse than that that to answer your question yeah the the divisions and the lack of any kind of strategic Direction because you have the us doing one thing you have Britain doing something else you have Slovakia doing something different Poland the baltics everybody’s kind of just Mish mashing whatever they want to do and there’s no chance that’s going to have any positive outcome on the battlefield but it’s even worse than that because all of these uh tranches of support that’s coming in now it’s not clear at all that the us is going to have any more after this and several other countries are about the Edge Edge of what they’re going to do so Ukraine is saying that they this money is going to help them get through 20124 but when you get to 2025 it’s not clear at all that they’re going to have any more support so it’s it’s there’s every way you want to look at this it’s bad for the Ukraine side and they need to seek a negotiated settlement all right well left Colonel Daniel L Davis host of Daniel Davis a deep dive

has warned that using the NATO Allied Count’s weapons to Target Russia deep within its territory is a direct and a dangerous escalation Russia’s foreign Ministry has further added that it poses a danger to European security and is cause of concern this also puts the UK in a more hawkish position than its Ally the United States and risks the Russia Ukraine war spilling into Broad configration between Russia and the Western military block the NATO us stipulates that any weapon that its supplies can only be used by the Ukrainian troops within the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine it approved weapons from the $61 billion trch just earlier this week it includes longer range Army tactical missile systems that can hit targets up to 300 km away these are are double the range of mid-range attacks that the US supplied last year now in recent weeks Ukraine used us supplied drones to launch assaults in the Central and Southwestern regions inside Russia Ukrainian troops struck two oil refineries on the Russian territory now as Russian troops continue to make marginal gains in the East and the southeast of the Eastern donbass region breaching the 500 M front line meanwhile

Russia’s foreign Ministry warned that such remarks are an acknowledgement that the West is waging a war against Russia using Ukrainian hands [Music] it’s the first time that a western politician admitted something that is already an Open Secret to all the countries of the world’s majority the West is conducting a Flatout war against Russia with the hands of the ukrainians now mid the Raging conflict in Ukraine Russia is putting on a defined display showcasing The Spoils of War Western military hardware seized from the battlefields watch this next report on on how an exhibition in moscow’s Victory parket become a symbolic representation of Russia’s perceived triumph over NATO supplied armaments take a look in the heart of Moscow the Russians are enjoying the warm spring Sun as

Africa Finland Australia and Austria a diverse array of captured military might and now moscow’s War Trophies the armored vehicle is designed to transport Personnel they initially abandoned their own armor and installed finish armor which turns out to be 12 mm it can withstand 7.62 caliber but it cannot withstand a larger caliber that is a 12.7 machine gun of course I wouldn’t go fighting with something like this because if it’s shot with a machine gun everything will be destroyed the prized exhibits include the iconic leopard and the abam stanks there is also the Bradley Fighting Vehicle all of of them once operated by the Ukrainian forces and now fallen into Russian hands oh my personal impression is a little bit heavy because after all this war is very hard people die there but I see that as before our Russian soldiers they do not give up they keep fighting and protecting us the exhibition is a stock reminder of the wagies of this harsh conflict where even the most advanced Western Weaponry has been vulnerable under Russia’s Relentless assault reports from the front lines paint a GM picture Ukraine has been forced to withdraw its us provided Abrams M1 E1 battle tanks outclass by Russian drone Warfare this has exploited the vulnerability of these formidable machines in terms of cover and dexterity the same Fate has befallen the German Leopard two tanks with the Ukrainian military on the verge of losing the entire contingent in the intense fighting despite the advertising of Abram’s tanks and and so on it can confront them Russia has great potential both

observed reality on the ground but it can fire them up and make them a lot angrier and make them expand their target list inside Ukraine bottom line is this is not going to help Ukraine win because at this point nothing can all it’s going to do is make the stir up that beehive make it more angry and it’s probably going to cause more casualties on the Ukraine side uh absolutely so I believe what I’m also trying to understand is that can a divided West or a divided NATO actually help Ukraine if these are the kind of statements that are coming out well it’s worse than that that to answer your question yeah the the divisions and the lack of any kind of strategic Direction because you have the us doing one thing you have Britain doing something else you have Slovakia doing something different Poland the baltics everybody’s kind of just Mish mashing whatever they want to do and there’s no chance that’s going to have any positive outcome on the battlefield but it’s even worse than that because all of these uh tranches of support that’s coming in now it’s not clear at all that the us is going to have any more after this and several other countries are about the Edge Edge of what they’re going to do so Ukraine is saying that they this money is going to help them get through 2024 but when you get to 2025 it’s not clear at all that they’re going to have any more support so it’s it’s there’s every way you want to look at this it’s bad for the Ukraine side and they need to seek a negotiated settlement all right well Le Colonel Daniel L Davis host of Daniel Davis a deep dive on YouTube thank you so much for joining us on weon always a pleasure to have you you B thanks for having me Russia is in the dock of allegations of organizing cyber attacks Germany the Czech Republic

that uh you know again I’m always focused on the on the safety and the protection of our troops something that we’ll we’ll continue to watch uh but uh right now I don’t see I don’t see a significant issue here uh in terms of uh a force protection the arrival of Russian troops in the country follows ner Hun’s decision to expel US forces from the country in the month of March n’s military government asked the US to withdraw its forces for the from the country nearly 1,000 US military personnel have been stationed in ner to fight the insurgents who killed thousands of people and displaced Millions more in the West African country in this fight Washington was n’s key partner until military hun seized power in a July 2023 coup the latest development however has raised questions about the fate of us installations in the country the US and its allies have been forced to move their troops out of a number of African countries following military CPS recently US troops left Chad where French forces left Mali and bukina fasu meanwhile the UK foreign secretary David Cameron has said that Ukraine can use British weapons to orchestrate quote unquote direct assaults inside the Russian territory Cameron’s latest statement has sparked the threat that a possible direct escalation between the west and Russia while the UK foreign secretary’s remark came during his visit to keev where he pledged an additional $3.74 billion military aid trch to Ukraine as you know we are your strongest supporters uh and as I said to your foreign minister we come not just as friends we come as partners how can we work together over this year militarily diplomatically politically financially to support you in all the ways that we can taking no time to hit back the Kremlin has warned that using the NATO Allied Count’s weapons to Target Russia deep within its territory is a direct and a dangerous escalation Russia’s foreign Ministry has further added added that it poses a danger to European security and is cause of concern this also puts the UK in a more hawkish position than its Ally the United States and risks the Russia Ukraine war spilling into broader confguration between Russia and the Western military block the NATO us stipulates that any weapon that its supplies can only be used by the Ukrainian troops within the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine it approved weapons from the $61 billion trch just earlier this week it includes longer range Army tactical missile systems that can hit targets up to 300 km away these are double the range of mid-range attacks that the US supplied last year now in recent weeks Ukraine used us supplied drones to launch assaults in the Central and Southwestern regions inside Russia Ukrainian troops struck two oil refineries on the Russian territory now as Russian troops continue to make marginal gains in the East and the southeast of the Eastern donbass region breaching the 500 Mile front line meanwhile in yet another escalation France’s president Emanuel macron said that he is firm on his plan of sending French troops to fight for Ukraine adding that Europe Europe is mortal and faces existential threat Russia’s foreign Ministry warned that such remarks are an acknowledgement that the West is waging a war against Russia using Ukrainian hands it’s the first time that a western politician admitted something that is already an Open Secret to all the countries of the world’s majority the West is conducting a Flatout war against Russia with the hands of the ukrainians now amid the Raging conflict in Ukraine Russia is putting on a defined display showcasing The Spoils of War Western military hardware seized from the battlefields watch this next report on how an exhibition in moscow’s Victory parket become a symbolic representation of Russia’s perceived triumph over NATO supplied armaments take a look in the heart of Moscow the Russians are enjoying the warm spring Sun as well as a glimpse of captured Western tanks armored vehicles and artillery pieces the exhibition features 32 armored vehicles all made in the United States Great Britain Germany France Sweden South Africa Finland Australia and Austria a diverse array of captured military might and now moscow’s War Trophies the armored vehicle is designed to transport Personnel they initially abandoned their own armor and installed finish armor which turns out to be 12 mm it can withstand 7.62 caliber but it cannot withstand a larger caliber that is a 12.7 machine gun of course I wouldn’t go fighting with something like this because if it’s with a machine gun everything will be destroyed the prized exhibits include the iconic leopard and the Abram Stacks there is also the Bradley Fighting Vehicle all of them once operated by the Ukrainian forces and now fallen into Russian hands no my personal impression is a little bit heavy because after all this war is is very hard people die there but I see that as before our Russian soldiers they do not give up they keep fighting and protecting us the exhibition is a stalk reminder of the vagaries of this harsh conflict where even the most advanced Western Weaponry has been vulnerable under Russia’s Relentless assault reports from the front lines paint a GM picture Ukraine has been forced to withdraw its us provided Abrams M1 E1 battle tanks Outlast by Russian drone Warfare this has exploited the vulnerability of these formidable machines in terms of cover and dexterity the same Fate has befallen the German Leopard two tanks with the Ukrainian military on the verge of losing the entire contingent in the intense fighting despite the advertising of Abram’s tanks and so on it can confront them Russia has great potential both Technical and Military and great intellectual potential I think Western Country should not count on Russia’s weakness although of course we also have our own problems big problem S as in every country the exhibition is another assertion of Russia’s determination to Prevail in a conflict regardless of the adversaries technological superiority you’re a report Von world is one for latest news download the

week Ukraine used us supplied drones to launch assault in the Central and Southwestern regions inside Russia Ukrainian troops struck two oil refineries on the Russian territory as Russian troops continue to make marginal gains in the East and the southeast or the Eastern donbas region breaching the 500 Mile front line meanwhile in yet another escalation France’s president Emanuel macron says

acknowledgement that the West is waging a war against Russia using Ukrainian hands it’s the first time that a western politician admitted something that is already an Open Secret to all the countries of the world’s majority the West is conducting a Flatout war against Russia with the hands of the ukrainians the Kremlin has denied the accusation that Russian forces have violated an international ban on chemical weapons this after the US state department hinted on Thursday that Russian troops used the baned chemical substance chloropicrin against armed forces of Ukraine now Kent spokesperson MRI pesov told reporters says that Moscow remained Bound by its obligations under the treaty that bans chemical weapons we have seen the news about it as usual these announcements are baseless Russia was and remains committed to its obligations in respect of international law and the sphere mentioned as allegations and counter allegations get exchanged my colleague RHA gets you all the details on this banned chemical agent take a look well now chloropicrin is listed as a band choking agent by the heg uh which based Organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons now the colorless to faintly Yellow oily liquid is generally used as chemical warfare agent it’s used in agriculture as a soil fumigant it has also been used as a chemical warfare agent and a riot control agent the agent can be dispersed in multiple ways number one chloropicrin can be released into indoor air or outdoor air as liquid spray it can also contaminate water and food while speaking of absorption the choking agent can be absorbed systematically through inhalation ingestion and the skin and this all this causes severe irritation to lungs eyes and even skin now chloropicrin Vapors are heavier than the air and they will spread along the ground and collect and stay in poorly ventilated low-lying or confined areas and these spaces they include bunkers which Russia has been accused of targeting with the nerve agent upon exposure it causes severe irritation to the skin eyes respiratory tract and also gastrointestinal tract irritation apart from that people exposed to chloropicrin as a war gas were reported to have experienced nausea vomiting and diarrhea for a span of few days and even weeks ironically treatment is primarily supportive there is no antidote for chloropicrin toxicity now German Forces fight the gas against Alli troops during World War I in one of the first uses of a chemical weapon it was used in large quantities during World War I and was stockpiled during World War II however it is now no longer authorized for military use all right some big news coming in Russian bombers reportedly have flown sties near Alaska a Russian defense Ministry video now shows a Russian strategic bomber skirting the neutral Waters of the coast of Alaska these images been released by Russia’s defense Ministry that shows the nuclear capable strategic bomber the tup of t95 in the neutral Waters over Alaska the ministry said that two such bombers conducted in 11 hourong flights over the Bearing Sea and were partially accompanied by the Suk su3 fighter jets Russia’s defense Ministry has asserted that these flights are part of a regular Mission and were carried out in strict accordance with international law the North American Aerospace Defense command or the norat has said that it detected and traged about four Russian military aircraft in the Alaskan Air Defense identification Zone and said that the Russian Fighters were not seen as a threat now for more on this we’re being joined by left Colonel Danielle L Davis who’s a military expert live from Virginia thank you so much sir for joining us what does how do you assess these statements from Cameron saying that the U it’s up to Ukraine how it uses weapons which are supplied by the UK do you see this as a direct esanation yeah I I see it as a problem I I I do because what’s what’s absent from this and nearly everything that the West has been doing is that there is no strategy there’s no overarching even stated objective here’s what we want to accomplish here’s what these weapons are going to do is how it’s going to succeed for Ukraine here’s what success even looks like there’s none of that it’s just let’s give some weapons and then they can do whatever they want with it oblivious to what’s happening actually on the front lines where the armies are meeting uh which are decidedly going in Russia’s favor and it continues to move in that Direction everything that goes on especially off the battlefields from what’s being produced by the Russian uh uh uh Ministry of Defense their industrial capacity they’re growing their army by by tens of thousands every month Ukraine will never be able to match that so by launching by giving basically permission to launch these missiles into Russian territory which uh you know Russia has said is is off limits then they risk that Russia will now with fire even more Target inside Ukraine in retaliation because Russia has many times more weapons that they can fire into Ukraine that they have thus far relatively held off to military targets or in energy infrastructure related to military capacity so this could go a lot further than what it has been and the talk of bringing in troops from from France is not a good sign absolutely sir in fact would you say that this points to differences within NATO members the European members and UK over how Ukraine is using these weapons and it’s said that it’s as you mentioned as well that it’s up to Ukraine as to how it chooses to use these weapons now what sort of an outcome are we looking at if that does happen well see that’s the that’s the whole issue you asked the right question there what is the outcome so people like General uh uh one of the retired American generals uh Ben hajes has often said we need to use these longer range missiles to drive the Russians out of Crimea which is absurd that that’s not how War works it hasn’t worked that way in the other direction Russia has fired thousands of long-range missiles throughout the entire Ukrainian territory but you see that has not brought them to their knees so the idea that firing a few longrange missiles into Russia will have any impact on the front line is just counter to to observed reality on the ground but it can fire
