5:02 pm
a $180.00 locations around give at least $350.00 of those bodies found in that area. boucher, which of course ma'am, was the subjects of so much international attention when these allegations began to be made against russia, all of potential carrying out a legit war crimes. and what we do know is that there is a huge pressure by the ukrainian government and many of their western bacchus for some form of international investigation into war crimes. but we also know how difficult that may be to achieve. i'm fussy this questions over when in fact an investigation would stop because of course, we're still in a war situation here, legal experts that we've been speaking to say that they are affairs, for example, all potentially important evidence being lost as for example,
5:03 pm
mind clearance efforts begin in some of these. ready areas around cave and then as the issue of some form of trial and who would basically be responsible for this trial. neither ukraine nor russia are signatories to the international criminal colt, which would course prove a problem for a trial being held by the i c. c. there is some legal experts that say, well, look at potentially the united nation, something being organized by the u. n. for a trial, but then russia on the security council has the veto. so it would be pretty much inconceivable that russia would, would agree to participate in any kind of trial and legal experts also say that any kind of investigation and trial could take years. so there are a whole host of seemingly at this stage, almost insurmountable challenges. forgetting any kind of future suddenly imminent
5:04 pm
future transparent and thorough investigation or trial, unless you will forget, the russia denies any responsibility for the killing of these civilians. as i say, evidence. so according to the ukrainians saying that said the majority of them was shot at close range. russia says that this is fabricated evidence and blaming the the ukrainians. what they describe is more provo provocations. and on the day that these statistics come out from the ukrainians with respect to these bodies that have found the you and have come out with more grim statistics on the amount of civilians they say had been killed since or between february 24th. when the invasion started in april, the 14th un saying that more than 1900 civilians have been killed. including a 162 children. they say that 2651 civilians were injured in that period of time of which more than 250 were children. so yes,
5:05 pm
some incredibly horrific statistics there. and of course, russia continues to deny any responsibility for that amount of civilian deaths, and certainly with respect to allegations of war crimes. simply saying that it's not responsible. i'm russia reported to have been making a 2nd night of strikes on targets near keith. now understand that you and you in the team have been to see both of those sites. what did you say was suddenly yes, you are right. there was a 2nd strike last night. the 2nd night in a row that says, russian military had targeted a weapons facility. and inside give this time it was a tank repair facility. we went down there this morning. the authorities wouldn't allow anybody inside the facility, but we saw smoke rising. there was no indication, no evidence of any damage to civilian infrastructure in the immediate vicinity,
5:06 pm
but it must be emphasized that this particular site sits right in the center of a large residential area. a huge towel blocked there with thousands of civilians living inside them. and it was a few hours later, certainly earlier this morning that the egg cave man vitale. creech co said that one person had been killed in that strike a number of others injured. but he was not specific as to whether this person was a civilian or a member of possibly military personnel working inside that facility. it's important to recognize that these attacks and com thusly 2 weeks more than 2 weeks after russian forces withdrew from areas around the capital city. and it has been much quieter until the night before last. and it was what 48 hours ago or so that there was a warning from the russian defense minister,
5:07 pm
the defense ministry saying that it would continue or it would attack what it described as command senses and weapons facilities inside cave. if it's, as it continues to accuse ukraine, if ukraine continues to attack targets across the russian border, of course, we have no way of confirming whether those attacks have taken place. but certainly, it's an indication that so despite russian forces withdrawing a couple of weeks ago, the capital city of ukraine is still vulnerable to more russian attacks. charles topher talking to us from king charles, thank you very much indeed. or one of the most important religious and cultural sites in ukraine is chosen a novel approach to protect itself from attack. by having no defense, a tall man can reports from keith. just a few steps when we travel back in time a 1000 years. since if
