indeed, the attacks are primarily aimed at the brightest representatives of the state or the ukrainian national group, yes, who are actually the face of this group, that is, the calculation is most likely in the russian federation that after the disappearance of these persons there will be no need for such a large-scale genocidal campaign. it also strikingly echoes how rafal lemkin described the soviet genocide in ukraine in his. reports of 1953. there was no attempt to completely kill ukrainians, like the method of the german attack on jews and less so, if the soviet program achieves complete success, ukraine will die in the same way as if all ukrainians had been killed, because it will lose that part of the people that preserved and developed its culture, its beliefs, its unifying ideas, which laid it they gave way. soul, that is

, they made it a nation, not just a population. the un genocide convention also does not speak exclusively about attempts to completely destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, it speaks of total or partial destruction. by definition, genocide is not at all about the number of victims. even if you kill one person or two, if you can clearly show that... there was an intent to destroy a group, genocide was committed. so, whether this intention was sufficiently demonstrated by cases of mass murder, deportation, russification of children, russian propaganda, targeted attacks on ukrainian patriots and ukrainian culture, for many it is enough to talk about genocide, not only for individual political leaders. the polish parliament declared genocide. violence that applied deliberately and systematically.

by the troops of the russian federation against civilian residents of ukraine has signs of genocide. parliaments of latvia, lithuania, estonia and canada. the russian federation is committing acts of genocide against the ukrainian people. and also the parliaments of the czech republic and ireland, but parliaments are not international courts. for an international court of solid, irrefutable evidence indeed. prove to be not enough, it can be extremely difficult to prove an unequivocal and indisputable genocidal intent in court. even in the case of the deportation of children, international the criminal court limited itself to charges of war crimes, not genocide. if you're a lawyer or prosecutor trying to get individual criminals in prison to answer for their crimes, this can be a smart strategy, given how difficult it is to prove. genocide, because even if

the term genocide was created by rafal lemkin, the courts will still rely not on his broad vision, on the narrow text of the un convention, and most likely on established practice. as an international lawyer, william schabas is convinced that they are conditions for a court of evidence about genocide in ukraine will not be enough. and is it necessary? can russians be successfully prosecuted without this? to me, too much energy is spent arguing about whether something is genocide or not, when there is no argument that war crimes have been committed, it's pretty obvious, there's plenty of evidence of such crimes, and there won't be much of a debate. i think the same goes for crimes against humanity, so in that sense it's just kind of distracting. on the other hand, the term genocide has... the right to life not only

in the courtroom - emphasizes eugene finkel, who was one of the first scientists to accuse russia of committing genocide in ukraine. remember, genocide is a legal term, but it is also an analytical term. the level of evidence required to put someone in prison for the crime of genocide is different from looking at what is happening as a whole and saying it is genocide. i see no reason not to use the term for analytical purposes to describe what happens, if it meets the criteria, out of court, and i wouldn't use it if it didn't. ukrainian scientist dmytro koval adds that it is impossible to explain the russian-ukrainian war without using the term genocide. genocide is the most appropriate term to explain the motives.

of the russian federation, the motives of individual leaders of the russian federation and to explain how the current conflict is integrated into the chain of historical events, that is, when we... want to understand what the reasons are suffering of ukrainians at the hands of the russian state, representatives of the russian state, we definitely need to use the term genocide to tell this story. this story is experienced differently by the victims of russian crimes. oleksiy sivak from kherson, who was mocked by the russians for almost two months, clearly sees the historical ones. the parallels we talked about, the saddest thing is that i have the same experience as our grandfathers, great-grandfathers and our ancestors. we know history, but we don't learn it, we make the

same mistakes. basically, the weapon changes, and the methods remain the same. doctor leonid remyga, who was imprisoned in the same kherson. well understands the true purpose of the russian full-scale invasion. we realized that despite the fact that we have great family ties with russia, these are simply not people, unfortunately, they are simply non-humans who came to destroy our ukraine, and i understand that well. irina, in the death of oleg abramov, who was killed in the massacre, gives hope to the strength to live on. for justice, i believe in justice, i expect victory, that's why i live, i want to see how the triumph justice, maybe that's why i live, their

suffering and mental wounds will not become more or less, depending on how the actions of which they became victims are called in the verdict, a war crime, a crime against humanity or genocide, but will there be a historical is justice really complete if the word genocide does not sound?

greetings, this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already approached the serpent himself. the following shots may shock you. news from the scene. political analysis objectively and meaningfully, there is no political season, exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. freedom life, frankly and impartially, you draw your own conclusions. two hours to learn about the war and how the world lives. a project for the mind.

good evening, we are from ukraine. greetings, dear tv viewers, my name is vasyl zama, this is a big broadcast on the spresso tv channel,

today i am with you for the next three hours, we will have a big evening with vasyl zima, well, actually, i and my colleagues will talk about what happened during this day as part of the great ether, then from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m hours as part of the big ether continuation program. i will also be with you, all people need to rest, serhiy rudenko will definitely return to the ether soon, but some. we will spend these evenings with you and i definitely promise that we will talk about the most important things. well, what could be the most important thing, in terms of the fact that the war is going on, and the armed forces of ukraine need constant help from us. we will continue to collect for a very important thing, a minibus for the fighters who are fighting on soledarsky and zaporozhye directions. this minibus is needed to deliver to the collision line or to the so-called gray area. mobile repair teams, as well as hydraulic jacks for the repair of western equipment, well

, western-style equipment, which is sent for the defense forces and the needs of the armed forces of ukraine, and this minibus needs uah 630 00 so that mobile repair teams can timely repair tanks, combat infantry vehicles, armored personnel carriers, in fact, everything that should not stand still, shoot, protect and destroy the enemy we need to collect uah 630,000. and as of now, we were able to collect uah 593,765 with you. well, actually, we have 37 left, even there a little less, 36 hryvnias. i think that by the end of this week we will be able to this topic. we will be able to close this issue, and our soldiers will be able to purchase the necessary car for quality work in the interests of ukraine. yury fedorenko, commander of the 92nd separate achilles battalion. of the assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, mr. yury, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine,

glory to the heroes, i will be here again today, this is our i am simply explaining to the audience that instead of serhii zgurets, he will also return to ether, well , these are the conditional military summaries in my performance, and we will conduct today, i will ask in general about the situation in the kharkiv direction, and then we will go into individual individual directions in more detail and to speak in more detail, let's say so, if you draw. well , let's talk about the direction of kharkiv, from where the enemy can approach, where it is most difficult now, where the enemy is accumulating, or the most forces and means are used in order to advance in the direction in the direction of kharkiv, please, the objectives of the enemy remain unchanged, this is the presence of the kharkiv region, accordingly, in the direction of fire, it is important for the enemy to gain momentum and begin to get tactical results in the field of battle with the aim of approaching ... to the administrative borders of the city of kharkiv itself. along vovchansk, the enemy is trying

to cling to every available shelter and hold all the positions that are now behind him. it will be enough to actively accompany your actions at the expense of aviation support with guided bombs, this is happening as usual to the shooting stick, and exactly on vachansk. employs a significant number of fire means, rocket fire systems, and the enemy has the ability to replenish the numerous losses it incurs during execution. them combat missions. as for the defense forces, the situation can be said to have been stabilized, that is, the enemy has no further advances in the depth of our operational space. the positions of the defense forces are all behind us. moreover, systematic and persistent work is being carried out to knock the enemy out of their positions. sometimes there are various posts on social networks referring to certain mass media that the enemy is coming out of the deep. i want to note that during the last year, fighting in the most difficult directions, i never once saw

the enemy voluntarily withdraw from one or another populated place. the enemy is knocked out of each position with a counter -fight, and after securing the defense forces there, one way or another the enemy tries to restore the state and position, that is, to knock out the defense forces from those positions that the enemy lost. accordingly, the dynamics of hostilities are very, very lively. partially destroyed equipment, lightly armored armored vehicles, which succeeded. to significantly defeat the defense scrap, the enemy is trying to replace it with a cut-off maneuver, in particular, they are being trained on the territory of the russian federation during training, regarding the delivery of personnel on two-wheeled motorcycles to the front line and... buggy cars and other high-altitude maneuvers are also used. one way or another , the defense forces manage to detect them in a timely manner and lower them somewhere on the slopes, somewhere when these vehicles perform a maneuver. as for the enemy's drones, there are quite a lot of them, both reconnaissance and, accordingly , strike ones, the enemy works with mavics, the enemy works with air defenses day and night, and

of course there is a high saturation of lancets, these are wing-type drones that are aimed at knocking out... our armored vehicles and artillery means in the first place, despite the pressure of the enemy, the dynamics, the possibility of replenishing the loss, the defense forces very powerfully perform their tasks with the support of the ukrainian nation and for the last week 92, the assault unit took a number of positions from the enemy with heavy battles, but managed to gain a foothold, today they are all held, that is, if the positive dynamics of the mobilization processes will be maintained. within the state, additional military aid from our partners, additional support for the ukrainian nation, i am sure that the situation will be able to be fully shifted to the side of the defense forces on most fronts from the point of view of tactical initiative, the ability to move forward and occupy our territories, as well very important, so that international partners respond to

the institution of ukrainian diplomats and to the literal cry of ukrainians. it is necessary for the partners to give permission for the use of anti-personnel weapons on the territory of the russian federation, not at the distance that is currently allowed, namely, to strike the opportunity in their lithuanian territories, from where the enemy takes down his planes and guided bombs will work not only on representatives of the defense forces, b is in the front-line cities and villages and hits the places of concentration of the civilian population, enemy pilots understand that there can be no morality there in general, he clearly understands. at what coordinates is he dropping this airbomb and they clearly understand that they are hitting residential portals, so the only way to stop this beast is by force, the force is through the use of precision weapons on his facilities inside the russian federation, so we we will get the opportunity to fight the cause, not the consequences, and of course , it is expected that

there will be additional air defense equipment in ukraine, which will help to close our peaceful peaceful cities and... in conclusion, i will say: friends, we must remember that the general business of victory depends on each of you, you should not think that you do not influence the processes there, or that nothing depends on you, hryvnia to hryvnia, hand to hand, hand to hand, shoulder to shoulder, only together we will be able to defeat the executioner of the occupier on our land and protect ourselves from total destruction. here i can only support and also remind our viewers to continue those donations that are announced. espresso tv channel, but not only espresso tv channel, in particular the 92nd separate assault brigade, and other brigades, those who you trust, you know that these are the people , from there, they are fighting, of course, join in, and you have to do it, you know, there are not always the opportunities that you want, and sometimes i know by myself that oh well you know this person, let's say there, he is fighting, you know him well, and you think, i will now put

some amount on the card, and i am ashamed that it is not 100 hryvnias, conditionally, but 500, well, as it were, but from another point of view side, you know, and someone has 100 uah, but in any case, there is no need to be shy here, how much you can pay, you always have to pay, because it is possible that this money will be those that were missing for the overall picture and in order to cover this or that need, i wanted to talk about the direction, but you touched on this topic, i also want to develop it about the enemy aviation, which, as they wrote, is just standing on the asphalt 200 km from the front line, from the border line, and between ukraine and russia. from what i know now, if nothing has changed there, we were allowed to strike 100 km deep, precisely the weapons of our partners, in particular the united states of america, well long-range weapons, here 200 km, i have the question is acute, but what is really massed, let's say, if our arsenal,

provided to us, allow us to do so, firing with high-precision weapons of our partners, will give a much better and faster result, nizhska... and how much more difficult for the enemy, relatively speaking, to intercept, well, for example, atakamsya or some other means, i don’t know what else there could be other than drones, because you know, now someone can listen, say, well, we ask our partners, we say, give permission, yes, but where is ours, and why don't we beat ourselves, simple for you to explain this difference, because we have seen the consequences of shelling and strikes by similar forces and means in the crimea, how effective it is in destroying enemy systems and means, please. the most important thing about the distance, i will not divulge the information, but i will say that it will not be enough, this is what i am voicing from open sources, i do not give out secret information, it is just that... they pee so i understand that, which is already publicly known, but nevertheless, we will not reveal it, i will say that at the distance at which we can work, precisely western weapons, its

it is not enough to overcome the cause, namely armed aviation, places of concentration, accumulation of ammunition, enemy personnel, other systems that the enemy can quickly and efficiently throw on the front line, we understand that the deeper we can destroy them, the more the enemy has the longer the logistics, the longer the logistics, the greater the possibility of its timely detection, timely detection, timely impression, respectively. so, if we talk about drones, drones, as you can see, work quite effectively on military categories of targets in belarus, in general, and our heavy drones are quite effective in fighting the petrodollar, specifically with oil refining bases on the territory of the russian federation, but in order to inflict mass damage on the enemy and knock out such categories of targets as aviation, which is covered.. . air defense means need a combined fire effect, this is when air defense systems work together with high-precision, powerful weapons of our partners, accordingly, without the use of weapons

in the smallest perspective, this is a problematic issue. it will not be possible to decide, but at the same time, i believe in the ukrainian army, which provides prerequisites for ukrainian diplomats, ukrainian diplomats fight for every decision on the international arena, very, very powerful, no one believed that they would be given the opportunity to strike at all. on the territory of the russian federation, this opportunity was delayed. now it is only a matter of time until we will be given the opportunity to objectively fight enemy aviation, in particular at its airfields and , of course, with additional anti-aircraft means to shoot them down during combat operations tasks by air you know this, the mayor of kharkiv appealed to the united nations just that week to save kharkiv, because the city is actually an enemy, you can't say that he was destroying everything there. like bakhmut, but it's just that the scale of the city is much larger, so the enemy can't do it like in bakhmut or maryinka or popasna or another settlement, but he actually strives for it, people die

every day, get injured, infrastructure is destroyed and so on and so on and so on, well, such a decision actually, it would be necessary precisely for the destruction of enemy aircraft, at least for those bases that the enemy has today, and the fact that ukraine is developing its systems and the enemy will be repeatedly surprised, i absolutely know here, i am somewhat convinced and... that is how it is it will be, but right now we have to buy time, because every day, every two days of delay means deaths, injuries, destruction, that's why we want them to give us permission now, and not because we don't have something, well, we, and regarding anti-aircraft defense systems, i also support your, your words, there was a statement by anthony blinkin, secretary general of the united states of america, that the nato summit, which will be held in washington, will be somewhere around the 9th, i think, if i'm not mistaken , in july. and there will be new announcements regarding air defense for ukraine, so we also expect high-quality, good air defense in order to cover peaceful, well, how peaceful, rear cities, i won’t say, we

don’t have peaceful cities in principle in ukraine, but also on the front to work, and now in this direction of sagittarius, deep sticky, sticky, sorry, well, shooting there is such and such, well, no, not that that is, i mean that there is the border of russia and ukraine, it is more difficult there, but here is this direction, it actually goes further to kharkiv, if we speak, well, again, i will... i will ask, and you know what can be said , what can not be said, if we talk about this direction, about this road, which is actually over there beyond the lipetsk, further, further, further goes all the way to kharkiv, is it noticed that the enemy is accumulating forces and means in order to make serious, well, breakthrough attempts, and again this information about the strengthening of the work of enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups precisely in kharkiv region, whether it is noticed in your directions, in your direction or not, because the enemy was actively working in sumy region, now they say that he is showing his activity precisely in kharkiv region. of course, the enemy, having the same intentions, will one way or another use reconnaissance groups, sabotage and reconnaissance groups, in order to

understand what the situation is in our fortified areas, which are generally along the front line, where there may be weak points in order to potentially preparing further actions, the enemy retains opportunities to replenish his own the group, which is already on the territory of ukraine and is now actively being destroyed by the forces of the harrow, and also, of course... they are considering the possibility of crossing the state border in another place, but after the possibility of using western weapons, the logistical shoulder of the enemy has become somewhat larger, accordingly, i am repeating myself here for the second time , the longer the enemy's logistical arm, the greater the opportunity to detect it in time, accordingly to assemble a strike group that could quickly and efficiently march in the direction of kharkiv, the enemy will definitely not succeed, and easy walks on any other. there will be no countermeasures either, because as the enemy carries out certain measures, the defense forces understand very well the state and position of the enemy, understand what he has in terms of reserves, where they can roughly accumulate, in which places

to attack. damage, so the work is being done in advance, i will say frankly that i sincerely believe that, god willing, the help from our partners will continue, the ukrainian nation will help, i believe that the kharkiv region will succeed in not just beating back the boundaries that are in the short term in the perspective of taking measures to maximize its re-occupation, thank you very much for your work, above all your daily work and for finding time to join our airwaves, yury fedorenko, battalion commander. achilles of the 92nd separate assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine. we wish success to our soldiers and men and women who are at the front every day. and you know, when you listen to people from the front, and you hear this faith, which may be lacking somewhere here in the rear, but it is very necessary, and it is very important to hear and understand, although we also perfectly understand that people are tired and talk about the fact that there are all such, automatic

or electronic. to do no, of course, these are living people, but these people give us an opportunity, well, we must give what we can give, we will return to our congregation, just do not forget about him, and i will now have a plot for your attention, and then we will have a guest in the studio, very interesting, by the way, so wait, without running around the offices and tons of extra papers, in poltava , the premises of the center for veterans, active military and their families have been opened, they will provide, in particular, consultations on the preparation of documents and will be sent immediately to the appropriate structure to a specific specialist, yes... and veterans will not waste time on unresolved bureaucratic mechanisms, unresolved bureaucratic mechanisms, anna morozova attended the opening, her word, she will tell more. in this room with an area of ​​120 m, assistance is provided to military personnel, veterans, as well as families of fallen defenders. the state guarantees benefits to such people, and not everyone knows about them. it is necessary to hear unequivocally and help, well, that's right

some bureaucratic issues. because it 's difficult, really difficult, and the guys sometimes come across some pieces of paper, and they don't understand why, yes, why it's not possible to somehow solve everything faster, because there at the front, everything is clear, there is an enemy, i kill him, i defend my family, so i have now returned to civilian life, please help me arrange it, here social workers tell how to apply for benefits or social benefits, what documents are needed for this... and where to go with all this, the task of the veterans center is to simplify all paper procedures a large number of the population of our territorial community already have the status of veterans, veterans, we are proud of this, grateful, families, defenders and defenders, this is all the focus of the work. it should not be forgotten that non-veterans need to integrate into society, society to veterans. in two

months of operation, the center has already received 118 appeals from veterans, their families and active servicemen. there were questions about recovery, that is, they were looking for where a military serviceman or veteran could go to recover with his family, maintenance of prostheses as well this is an important fact, we had a lot of legal requests for psychological support, that is, all those critical moments experienced by veterans, servicemen, and members of their families. you need to work on it. about 400 veteran spaces have already been opened in ukraine. the deputy minister of veteran affairs says that the main areas of work are psychosocial rehabilitation and assistance, physical culture and sports rehabilitation, leisure and professional adaptation of military personnel. the essence of spaces is a single entry point for receiving a wide range of services, from informational and advisory to rehabilitation,

including plus experience. in the veteran space, the principle of an individual approach is applied. 780,000 hryvnias were donated by the representative office of the council of europe in ukraine for the repair and furnishing of the rooms. currently, the center employs nine specialists who are ready to help with all requests. anna morozova, bohdan proskurov from poltava for the tv channel. yes, well, i, too, have a guest, ivan tymochko, a military serviceman and chairman of the council. reservists of the armed forces as far as i understand, this is the right thing for ukraine. mr. ivan, i congratulate you. congratulations, glory to ukraine, glad to see you. the hero is the glory of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine, to say. you know i'm going to start, i'll start with a general question to you, as a military serviceman, the topic of orban's visit to ukraine is being actively discussed today. and talks about the fact that they have already come to negotiate, but there will be negotiations, but it means that somewhere something will have to be conceded, there are such cautious statements of politicians, poli'.
