federation, but also the nation that believe in the victory of life over a devil, they have to fight together with us. they have to help us, though huge berries in moscow with more on this next phase of rushes, military operation. well, according to the acton commander of the country, central military units. the task of the 2nd phase of the so called special military operation is to secure the areas in eastern and southern ukraine and to establish a land corridor that would stretch from russia all the way across to crimea. this commander saying that this is the number one priority for the russian military. now he also made a comment that is very interesting. at this stage he said that this land quarter, we're also provide a further opportunity for russian forces to get closer to an area in moldova known
8:03 am
as trans wisteria, which is a brick away region in moldova, that is alongside the border with ukraine. the area shares about a 400 kilometer to ukraine. and also the idea is that the russian speaking population in that area are in need of russian assistance, according to this military general who was speaking earlier on friday. now this is the 1st time we've heard about the any kind of aspirations, the russian military would have beyond the borders of ukraine. but also it indicates that there is a possibility that the russians would be looking at the towns and areas of and nikolai, as well as odessa in southern ukraine. william connie is a former us diplomat. he says, rushes ambitions to expand in ukraine have been made public before that have never been and shaped. or the general actually may have been talking out of school. and

8:05 am
a general as far down the totem pole as this general. so this person may have been speaking out of school saying something that maybe truthful about he shouldn't have said. so i would not worry too much about this particular general. the key issue is whether russia will be more successful than has been in east in ukraine and moving toward odessa. and so far it doesn't look like that will happen. russia is given his 1st mission of losses of its flagship, nissan cruise in which sank of 70 crime. last week. the defense ministry says one silo died and 27 missing was 400 crew members. if claims were rescued, the kremlin says the moscow sank after ammunition. fine ukraine sensitive the ship . with miss armstrong, the un human rights agency has condemned what it calls the horrors of the crimes against ukrainian civilians. there is evidence mounting of war crimes being
8:06 am
committed, and these include indiscriminate shedding and bombing of oxidative areas. summary execution up to the indians. as i said, the vast majority of nations by far are attribute to the russian forces. so if you just look at the civilian casualties bigger, 92.3 percent of what we've managed to record were recorded in government control territories, so attribute to the russian forces hotter. abdel how made has more from boucher where russia has been accused of committing noise atrocity. we've been speaking all day with the prosecutors who are investigating these alleged war crimes. we've also been speaking to the police has been digging out and exhibiting bodies ever since the russians pulled out more than 2 weeks ago. and what the un is saying goes very much along the lines of what we have been hearing. we've been hearing that
