the western countries, nice of us a nor the use bulk or of a fair and free election is there argument was event that there is no real a position in russia. jim and president stein maya will not convert to late teaching the, according to his books. darcy, so in his victory speech here, re, what kind of vision has preteen laid out for russia? i was like, put this vision offer i saw for russia. is it coming years is best explained by one example i put in a p as in his election stuff or, and things. i think he's election workers the he said he think she's comrades in arms and explained with the meaning of the board comrade in arms or so that you can russian. and this is what you said that is in the old russians work the right you can do this is in turn means a fighter, a simple man from a village who volunteers to go to what did you find? he's fatherland, which and said that the history is repeating itself and the old rations i know so

that i can make it or comrades in arms actually didn't explicitly talked about 4, but of course he meant what conclusion is putting thrush it over the next few years . of course is not only but the bulk of the country at for putting surprised many or a by actually mentioning in his press conference there the name of alexi and a bonnie, the opposition figure who recently died in prison. what do you make of that to you? right, well i think it's bizarre that it puts in the never used the volume his name when he and i've only was a life and now if it and i've only has died, he has mentioned his name several times. um he said 2 important things. firstly is that that the volume they have died, which was of course sad, but that's life. you said that was put into indirect response to the accusations that and i've only had been killed. i've secondly put in said that's the voice path

to exchange him for a prisoner from another country. and this statement by the criminal lead that caused absolute outrage among and of all these colleagues as they called the lights . regardless of how you assess boots in sports, it was a signal to the west with russia wasn't ready for a nozzle present exchange. you know, thank you so much, that was dw, use your shadow in real life. it it's been 10 years now since moscow illegally annexed crimea, following an invasion, using troops without russian insignia. it was the beginning of a decade long war with ukraine, culminating in the full scale invasion. 2 years ago. its position on the black sea makes cry me a cig strategically important asset. the peninsula serves as a key base for naval fleets and is used to safeguard security interests in the region. crimea is home to both ethnic russians and ukrainians, as well as indigenous crime in tarza and others. for centuries,

the tough hours have been fighting to preserve their identity as crimea was invaded by various powers. our next report follows towers in exile, who dream of returning to their homeland its ramadan and keys. many of those praying here are far from home, such as these my of course the 33 year old has taught an ethnic group, native to crimea, yada new york. i was born an independent ukraine. i grew up in crimea in independent ukraine. i don't see crimea as different. i do not see it as part of some other state or a little while ago, so that he's my list from you after russia occupied the peninsula and 24 to the senior join to you create an armed forces, a nell performs, and a military ensemble. here singing a song in his native language and owed to premier

going home even to visit has become impossible. a budget that has to go the 2014, the people were free and cry me of that is if you cream didn't really help us. there at least it didn't interfere. and no one told us what holidays to celebrate. what days of remembrance we should celebrate or not, what language we should speak and who to vote for, who not to vote for someone who to praise or not to praise. nobody told us this will install them. yeah, godaddy or powers have been living in crimea for hundreds of years. understanding they were persecuted and deported. the collapse of the soviet union allowed them to return that freedom didn't last. since russia's occupation in 2014 papers are again being persecuted, making up the largest group of political prisoners around 50000 torres are reported

to have left crimea since 2014. while the premium government estimates more than 500000 russians were brought in. when russian president vladimir putin annex crimea, she promised the lives of ordinary people would improve. instead, sanctions have compact with the economy and democratic rights have been lost by cham, wasn't we, should we see the destruction of culture and heritage, the impossibility of using one's native language and educational institutions order public space. so therefore, these are very important things going to be, describe how people live and cry me on that as it's the territory of feel. but that's a better thought as to who for me let us ever says when put in invaded crimea, the world looked away. the occupation is seen to have paved the way for the full scale invasion of 2022. as we have for all today, liberating crime yet seems like a daunting challenge. but for ukraine's government, it's not up for debate,

extraneous, almost fractional, or best, no doubt that only liberation of absolutely all territories will bring us peace. this probably will protect this phrase mail. there will be no peace until he can return home theater last time that i believe in ella, and hope that everything is the same. with his permission, try me. i will still return to ukraine and there will be safe access and passage for someone like me. last a i s a chromebook. yeah. chrome you in tours. few a prolonged occupation could mean the end of their people. let's catch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. you commission president, 1st of the underlying, has announced in a package for egypt worth over 7000000000 nero's president of the south l. a. c. c . held her visit to cairo is a milestone in relations. the funding is intended to curb and documented migration . critics of ment have questions of support over egypt,
