winter condition. and this is general site, it's terrorism from russian sites is as you say, in the last 3 months, the russian tactics are very much focused on targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. you say that's genocide. many say there's a need for, for, for accountability, for war crimes. how do you think that should happen? i know the international criminal court have been investigating, but it's also talk of this new special tribunal. what's your view on that idea? i'm more than sure. everyone who involved in this sense, less war, have to take responsibility for the war. because listen, 3 days ago, the russian records destroyed the building in napa. it's almost 50 people died, 5 children, and to 200. the apartments will be destroyed. and this is our in our hometown waste, not front line kill to more than 150 people,

5 children also. and to destroy the $350.00 apartments in our hometown from russian records in the chemical drones is terrorism. it's a, it's a genocide because right now the last attack to destroy critical infrastructure in new inter condition is they russians want to freezing people. answer. i have simple explanation. booting need tier theory wouldn't need ukraine, resulting granules. we talk about this special tribunal and i know there are some supporters of it, particularly in europe, and the european union is generally favorable on this idea. the problem, i think, would be the same as the court that was set up to deal with the russian downing of the plane, is that russia would not provide any witnesses. and if people are found guilty, russia will not send those people over to be sentenced by the court. unless,

of course, there is regime change in russia. is that now what the west should be? see? first of all, please dom believe in the rational survey and make a propaganda war. the eggs are always have excuses. some explanation about they've talking about the ukranian regime about their she's national is radicals dennis vacation and her listen her because they support the russian population in the ukraine. there was a reason i am one of them there. good example, it's her. it's what america, which language you talk recently, that nation you have her, for example, in my blood, in my body's health blood russian blood. my mom was russian. as you leave in the brain, whole, he lives long can, doesn't him, they were here a problem. secure. have ministers samples and the that's why they're russians tried
