Russias foreign minister matrices indonesian and indian counterparts ahead of the east asia summit were a form of 18 states including members of the aust feeling group of countries are simultaneously holding high level meetings in jakarta. The. The one thing are to international. Im rachel ruble live from the russian capital mom, shell revelations. Ukraine has an Assassination Program against everyone whos against the current key of regime british weekly, the economist interviewed ukraines former head of Security Services on the topic, but chose to put a softer spin on the chiefs original words. Valentino levite chain cove who headed the s b u at the time says the switch came about when you cranes, then leaders decided that a policy of imprisoning collaborators was not in us. Prisons were overflowing, but fewer deterred we reluctantly came to the conclusion that we needed to eliminate people. He says, to write, im going to live in the studio by r t correspondent. Dont know, quarter for more on this. So done a, quite the controversial revelations coming from kind of what more do you know about this . And so suppose the ukraine in hit group or based on what we read in the interview with this former head of ukraine Security Services, b, s, b u forms. This Assassination Program back in 2015 after the western back you were on my don qu, they talk came to power in, in ukraine, just a year prior. And this, the specific body of the s b, you tasked with tearing out this Assassination Program, actually organizes death squads to kill anyone whos accused of helping russia or anyone who really disagrees with the political course in general, putting them. Busy under the general label of terrorists and more than a few people have already actually suffered as a result of this, like one mayor who a former mayor rather in the heart of the region of ukraine who is labeled a collaborator and then killed by a car bomb this is a guy who never took up arms against new training and government who was simply a civilian. So what about the softening of the language in this article changing, eliminate the people to eliminate terrorist who do i think was behind. That is a key of putting a spin or more likely just to western clean up job. Well, according to the ukranian media, the economist didnt quote, the former asked me you had correctly, but they might have, must have had a very bad translator if he or she missed. Took the word people for terrorists. And of course, there is another more likely scenario, the key of didnt like the wording of this, and they had the economist to make it look like the key of wasnt actually out for blood. I mean, after all, a lot of people whove been assassinated by key of whether its within the realm of this Assassination Program or outside of it have been non combatants journalists, people who are not soldiers. And even if you read the sub title of this article, it becomes clear that many, even in the west star quite concerned that this Assassination Program is nothing more really than a murder campaign. It says its agents have become an expert in dark revenge. But some worry that a Clear Strategy is absence. And how does this all look when it comes to the image that zalinski and the west are trying to project of ukraine being this democratic states. And now we have these allegations of a head squad against anyone who disagrees with the cube. Well, it of course looks contradictory. I mean, even if we exclude these extra judicial killings or the fact that the political opposition and ukraine has been outright fans, theres still a lot of talk within the highest levels of power. And key of that sounds less than democratic. I mean, weve got the ukranian, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council saying that elections in the country might the stabilize ukraine. Keep in mind that Holding Elections in the conditions in which our country is in, is a matter of internal destabilize ation. What are elections . First of all, its a competition of platforms. Its huge discussions. Its figuring out where the country should move, can imagine, hows the discussions will unfold in a state of war . With statements like that. Its obviously quite hypocritical, that brussels is still considering accepting ukraine into the high and mighty democratic European Union. And i mean, and according to the Ukrainian DeputyPrime Minister of european and euro, atlantic integration cubes, even looking to become a member of state of the European Union before the end of its conflict with russia. Its not just the death squad thats concerning. What about allegations of corruption when it comes to ukraine is getting any play in the west . Well, it definitely doesnt get enough attention as much as it should because theres a lot of people in the west that obviously are upset about seeing their tax dollars going to a country that so plays with corruption scandals. And we havent heard from the usually very anti russian lithuanian government. Theyre making a fuss about it as well. Lets take a listen of both. What is the best way to stake at bottom . Imagine that voters in a particular state see that there are very visible corruption scandals in the country to which the 8 is directed. This is a huge blow to the reputation of that state. This is a very important reason. Since those countries that support ukraine or democratic states, they should take into account the mood of their society in the opinion of their voters. Now, despite small criticisms like this one on the, on the whole, obviously the west is still very supportive of ukraine. A country whos officials admit that theyre ex, traditionally killing people, that theyve banned all official political opposition and theyre considering not having elections. I mean, for anyone with eyes and years, this is obviously ironic. Hand certainly is right, ortiz, im of course, are. Thank you so much International FinancialInstitution Reform and incredible solution for the death of african countries. And those are the measures needed to ensure the confidence smooth transition to green energy according to the chairman of the African Union commission. A.

Applicants is just significantly higher borrowing costs compared to other regions around the world, the volume, what are your expectations for the summit, as well as the already know, and as youve already been told numerous times by science has been im is the failure to reduce Global Warming has old countries on the globe, but african countries because the, the most valuable will be her to the most high levels of fluency, dependence on grateful for agricultural production.

Does not hold back within describing the global lending system. How unfair it is. Opportunities of it is and how it is not how it doesnt give everybody a chance or rather afraid, tons of so the expectation from my side and on the ground is really for african lead is to be heard and to accept private investment.
