the submission documents more than 90 facts, including attacks and persecution of representatives of the orthodox church of ukraine, jehovah's witnesses, muslims, protestants and other religious minorities in the temporarily occupied crimea. iryna solomko learned about the details of the submission of uvain jordesh, a british lawyer, managing partner of the international legal foundation global rights complaints, who was involved in the work on the submission. why do you focus on religious persecution in occupied crimea in this presentation? collected in the submitted evidence and their analysis strongly suggests that there were nine war crimes and seven crimes against humanity, persecution and persecution of religious groups - these are what we call umbrella crimes, they contain many different criminal acts. we recorded detentions, torture during detention, murders, displacement and

deportation. so the persecution of religious groups in crimea is a very serious crime. the facts recorded in the submission are terrible. it is difficult to read about what is happening to the religious organizations, groups and individuals who do not agree to bow the knee to putin. so, why crimea? because crimes are just as serious, they started everything, and they continue. so there is no reason why the icc prosecutor should not focus on crimea. in fact, there are all of them. it is almost impossible to calculate the exact number, but we are talking about thousands of people and a wide range of different religions in crimea, from muslims and the orthodox church of ukraine to jehovah's witnesses, catholics, and jews. these are terrible numbers, but so are the scale and nature of the crimes terrible this is a crime against thought. when you do not

agree to think and pray to the right god, as the kremlin wants, you face persecution. returning to the figure, we are talking about the disappearance of two-thirds of religious organizations in crimea since 2014. do you indicate specific names of criminals in the application? we did not specify specific persons, but it is obvious that we are talking about the occupying power in crimea. they are the first level of suspects, the second level, of course, are karmanychiv russian. authorities, including the kremlin. we all know how crimea is important for putin. it is safe to say that these crimes are the result of a criminal policy that reaches deep inside the kremlin. that is, your work shows that these are not sporadic crimes, but a systematic policy of the russian occupation authorities. for war crimes and crimes against humanity, you must establish, among other things, that the crimes or acts are widespread or systematic. attack

on civilians, and this is a crucial component of public policy, so the evidence suggests that it is public policy that usually applies to the head of state. we are talking about hundreds of different acts, from the destruction of places of worship to the detention of religious leaders and their torture, we see that this is a system and it is run by the state that gives consent to these crimes. so who develops these policies, who provides the resources, who does not prevent? heinous crimes, and when you ask these questions and look at the russian government, including putin, you will get clear answers about who is responsible. before ukraine, you worked in other conflicts and saw a lot of war crimes while working on this show, what impressed you the most? i was shocked by the very policy of russia in the occupied territories, usually everywhere they rely on the promulgation of laws regarding so-called extremism and terrorism, and then...

branding religious organizations as extremist or terrorist, this allows them to be denied registration and actually prohibits them. this is precisely what i consider natural for an authoritarian regime. i was surprised by the brutality of detentions and torture of religious authorities. some of the detainees were members of the orthodox church of ukraine. so they just disappeared, and then it turned out that some were shot, some were tortured by starvation or electric shock. this struck me, because auto regimes often abuse the law to persecute believers, but occasionally you see religious authorities disappear into the hell of detention centers, some forever, some return after being tortured, and this is, in my opinion, a rarer occurrence. it was an interview of iryna solomko with the british lawyer ven jordash, who participated in the work on filing with the international criminal court against russia in the case of religious persecution in... in the united states

, literature lovers are discussing a new product on the market. english translation of the ukrainian novel. the oblivion of the writer tanya malyarchuk. in in an interview with voice of america , the author shared her experience when one of the largest publishing houses in the united states became interested in her novel. what does she expect from the american reader, how does she want to show ukraine to americans? the writer also reflected on how the current war became a trigger for the nation that reawakened old traumas of past generations. my colleague iryna matviychuk spoke with tetyana malyarchuk. in your opinion, why was this book chosen by a foreign audience? well, i think it's just the topic itself, right? because like i said it's kind of like my short story 20 century in ukraine, with all its downfalls,

mostly downfalls, with all its tragedies, massacres, murders, and how to deal with this, with this... legacy, and what to do with this legacy to those who survived, or the children of those , who survived, yes, there is, i actually unconsciously wrote a novel about intergenerational transgenerational trauma, i already learned about this term from reviews of this book, i wanted to tell the original story of vyacheslav lepinsky, that is, it should be like this historical fiction, although i will very seriously help. he treated the facts and i tried to recreate him, his story, his life as much as possible, but in the end it turned out that i can't do without - without some alter ego of mine, without continuing his story, i can't

tell this story, and somewhere after about 60 pages i suddenly understood , that i can no longer write the way i wrote and had to enter another one. you see such a different time line of the conditional present type, it is interesting that in the first review , the novel in the usa, the atlantic, is bigger than this one very impressed by this image, extremely, because she is absolutely right, this is not an attempt to bring back the past, this is not about recovering some memory, because this memory... cannot be recovered, it is really like digging in such a mass grave , because the stories of all these people, about whom i wrote in the book, there is no way to return them, you remember the author, this is the american journalist judith

shulwit in the atlantic, and she called her article, the story of zombies haunting ukraine, what do you think of the name of this articles? they took a risk, it was really risky a little, but i don't mind, especially since i'm interested in another reading of this novel, let me, i don't know, i have no idea how americans can in general from their point of view, from their experience, uh, how they will react to the they do not have this experience for such stories of these eastern european and damned eastern european nations, which have experienced so much during the 20th century. rather, they have the experience of such an imperial nation, whether we like it or not, and ukrainians, despite all their not, despite different and black pages in ukrainian history, where ukrainians were also criminals, but in general, our mental trauma is being

a victim. you wrote a book about the past, and how does oblivion intertwine with the history that ukraine lives today? she is such a pushover. or as it is called correctly in english, it is when you look at this book and do everything so that what i wrote about does not happen, so that history does not repeat itself. in such a terrible way, in the most terrible way, because the events of the 22nd year are extremely similar to and consistent with events that took place in the 17th, 18th, 19th, well, before the establishment of soviet power in ukraine, and the 22nd year is a kind of mirror repetition of those times, that is, the same challenge, say, that and the danger itself, and i think we've passed it, i think the worst of some... dangers, i think, are past and uh, because uh, first of all,

because the world finally saw that ukraine, uh- er, has a chance to exist, that it deserves to be er, a normal democratic country, within its borders, that is, its m support is much greater, that is, it will be key, in my opinion, because in the near future. in the future, i know you 've said that you're not writing now, and the war has affected you, is there a way to get you back into literature? i will return to literature, of course, if i have the opportunity to do so, if the war ends, when the war ends, probably yes, or, i sometimes dream that i am writing, it is strange, the main thing is to end the war, and literature will appear, well, about the current war, there will probably also be a book about the transmission of this trauma. true, because this is not only an injury the loss of people, this psychological trauma

is very strong, and this three is extremely, so extremely large, i thought about it, by the way, i just now thought about it, before i did not perceive it that way, that it is also a trigger for us in the sense that it was very similar to many of these, well, even with 20 years, the second world war is so similar, it was also there the ukrainian insurgent army, liberation movements during the second. your wars, so he also ended in a terrible defeat, and because of er, and after each such defeat, terrible repressions come, come terrible, well, actually genocidal type, and here is this trier, that it is again the same, again the same challenge, again the same aggressor, the same enemy has come and kills her, then it is her, maybe that added to this shock, maybe yours is there a book for americans too? with this warning that you cannot lose this war, yes, because you, if you do not watch

calmly as the aggressor kills or destroys or oppresses again his victim who is trying to break free, then you become an accomplice in reality, you are a classmate even if you watch, just do nothing, that's how evil continues, that's how it goes on, it doesn't stop, in order to... true freedom requires several things, you need to not become a victim, not to be a victim, stop being a victim, you need to stop attacking, stop being an aggressor, and you need to stop just watching, because when you just watch the injustice that is happening and do nothing, then you are an accomplice of this evil. it was an interview of iryna matviychuk with tetyana malyarchuk, the author of the novel oblivion, which recently appeared in us english. language and this is the end of the story about the artist from

kharkiv, polina kuznytsova, the author of provocative performances and 25 paintings on the theme of war. her works are shown at prestigious exhibitions in europe and the usa. khrystyna shevchenko visited polina and asked about where her images come from. to s... if it's not tiredness, it's like a plant that is blown on, and it becomes so twisted. before the war, the artist from kharkiv was known for her project of landscapes of the dream with a pink ship and pink fabric, but in the last two years new images and colors have entered her work, i have a black fabric, this is

a black bag that overlaps this pink fabric, and this is such a theme that goes through probably the entire series that i i am writing about the military, that is, the meeting of a dream and this black sorrow and grief and plastic, packages for... and dead bodies. at the beginning of the full-scale invasion , polina and her two sons were hiding in the kharkiv bomb shelter. the family stayed in the city, because her parents refused to persuade her to leave your hometown, this fear of what a soldier might do to you, if, well , that's all, and this made me actually leave ukraine for a while, without my parents, but with

my sons, polyna left for estonia, somewhere there five days there was this road on buses through these camps for refugees in poland, here i arrived and two days later i was already painting i have a separate series of magical landscapes and here i painted a landscape that is destroyed, this is my favorite ukrainian landscape, it is covered in blood. in the evacuation, polina draws more than ever in her life. the first exhibition the times were shown in ivano-frankivsk. many kharkiv residents who were internally displaced and local residents came to ivano-frankivsk at that time. i understood that

thanks to the paintings, people had an opportunity. to charge is to cry, that's it, i realized that i have some meaning in life, i can do something, then london, berlin, los angeles, new york, copenhagen, her reading of the war caused a response everywhere, the artist also cooperates with volunteers from the usa, and also creates performances with european artists, for example, in the squares sweden's gothenburg and estonia's tallinn , sitting in a large cage for a parrot that... i found on the street, it's a good thing to show people how ukrainians feel in evacuation, so i tried to climb in there, climbed in, well, with difficulty, but i sat in this cage, and i actually sat for four hours, then i could barely walk, how

did they react, they cried and cried, and this is polina swimming in the kharkiv aquarium... what a lake, it was her performance-reaction to the blowing up of kakhovskaya hess. and i was very cold after 10 minutes, i almost, i was shaking very much, i didn't i knew how long i would hold on, but i held on for 85 minutes. polina and her youngest son returned to ukraine last year, but not to her native kharkiv, now they live in kyiv, a small apartment has become her workshop. art becomes a refuge and personal salvation, its native people, kharkiv residents, are now scattered across ukraine and europe. dad , mom, grandma and grandpa, they are in france in evacuation in burgundy, i was with them recently, ugh, and my eldest son mark is in krakow, ugh, and ian and i are still here, my friends are in kharkiv and on

war the events in bakhmut and the death there of a close friend of a ukrainian sculptor gave birth to new images in her paintings: if before that i was fascinated by some heroic experiences or simply white suffering for what was happening, then here comes such pure horror, horror from which you're losing your mind, and i had a... feeling like i was seeing hell, it's just a world that's been completely turned inside out. polina says that her feelings are numb, and there is little that causes emotions, but sometimes the realization of certain things, such as the fact that her children will never go to

favorite kharkiv school, causes sadness. we never went to that school again. and where there were teachers whom everyone loved, there is the last call, and it will probably turn out that way, the children are already growing up, and their new life is beginning in them, and we will never get together like that again. now polina is preparing for a new series of paintings, possibly on the theme of revival after a long winter. khrystyna shevchenko, yevhen mashurov. bohdan shevchenko, kyiv, ukraine for voice of america. that's it , we'll say goodbye, you've watched the program voice of america ukrainian service time time. join us too. of our daily briefings from monday to friday at 18:00 kyiv time on youtube and facebook, where you can ask your questions live to our presenters yulia yarmolenko and ostap yarysh.

russian boy serozha, who is two years old, yes, he took it and sank, well, that’s how putin once commented on kursk and the death of his squadron, it sank, and serozha kotov also sank today, only it’s not just that, but it’s a russian patrol ship of the project serhiy kotov, and it was destroyed by the strikes of the magur v5 naval drones nearby kirchi this morning, by the way, was reported by the main intelligence department of defense mines, the operation was carried out by gur. and besides, they gave us the best video of the day, let's have a look.

sea urchins and crabs are talking loudly, and president zelenskyi has already commented: there are no safe bays for the russian-fascist occupiers, this is the video of the day, well, but we also have a question of the day for you, because the day before, the prime minister of ukraine, denys shmygel, announced a kind of reform of the government, when part of the ministry.

will combine, in particular, the reduction of the number of ministries by a third, respectively, we ask you, dear lord, do you support the reduction of the number of ministries, if so, then you see the phone number on your screen 0800 211 381, well, if you do not support, then the second number phone on your screen which ends with a deuce, it's important for us to hear your opinion, we will discuss it with our guests and summarize tonight's broadcast. but let's start with the most important event of the day and the military-political columnist of the information resistance group oleksandr kovalenko will speak with us in connection with our studio, mr. oleksandr, congratulations, good evening, well, let's go straight to the sea there in the kirchi area, serhii kotov went to the bottom, we don’t know how they managed to pull off a miracle, save part of the crew, but 7/2

i don't know, we have such official figures, it is important that very quickly, and if it happened , a video appeared, that is , we have really upgraded to such an extent that we can already destroy such very modern boats, or rather ships, and in broad daylight, well , patrol ships of the vasyl bykov type, this is actually a corvette, a project... 22-160 is one of the newest corvettes in the russian black sea flotilla, and they are, let's say , well, they can't be brought to the level of the kator, it's true quite powerful and effective in preserving the lane and not only the open one sea ​​ship, among other things, this

project he had the opportunity. place weapons such as launchers for krembe caliber, two to four launchers, that is , it is actually eight guides, or they could place missiles of the x-35 type on board, which would give them the ability to conduct anti-ship activities already, as an anti-ship missile complex , also they were adapted to put in there... it's a very specific container of a container-type launcher that launches the kremb caliber directly without installation in without integration into the architecture of the launch ship itself, and placing the container on its board, that is, it was quite such an unpleasant warship, to put it mildly.
