post a neck in that race between the top to protest and policies. rising inflation, accusations of corruption on the war in ukraine. i've been major issues of campaign where ukraine has denounced russia's assumption of the rotating presidency of the un security council president vladimir putin as wanted by the in social criminal court for alleged war crimes. ukraine has called it a slap in the face for the international community. president vladimir lensky says it's absurd, citing ongoing atrocities in his country. sure. he's got blue shield greens. yesterday, the russian army killed and mobile ukraine and child 5 month old boy. the parents, a wounded one of the hundreds of artillery turks the tow restates carries out every day. and at the same time to russia presides over the urine security council. sure, it is difficult to imagine anything but christ complete

a bankruptcy of such as the 2 tional impulse writer gowen as new and director of the international crisis group. he says, russia knows it's on the defensive within the un. i think the russians are a little nervous themselves. i think they realize that they are in the spotlight in new york now. and if they do the presidency to try and put some sort of pressure on the ukranian, they're going to get a huge amount of blow back. the russians have actually laid out a really thin series of meeting or april a lot of days, which are currently now not going to involve any security council meeting. so i think that's because russia knows waiting, you know, they are on the defensive, the blog in the un system. and if they try to use the presidency for malign purposes, it will actually one through the heart of the world of his district. so moscow have vito to ensure that the council have taken no meaningful action over ukraine.

i think it is worth saying, though, that the russians have been quite restrained in the use of the veto on other issues the russians have not used that the so for example, over afghanistan or libya or, or other crises on the agenda, i think they do value the security council as a space where they can do some residual cooperation with western countries. and they don't want to blow that up completely. russians defense minister has promised to increase the supply of weapons to troops on the front line. the geisha is being criticized in recent months ahead of the russian wagner, mass and regroup is accused him of failing to provide forces with sufficient munitions, pretty much in prison, the issue of supplying troops. the lethal weapons is currently under constant control by the government. and by the ministry of defense, the volume of supplies of the most needed munition has been determined,

the last that hearing was under way. suppose that the ukrainian orthodox church gathered outside the monastery to pray. i'm sing hymns. a group of counter protests has also gathered up the site and frankly speaking, i believe that the russian church has a negative influence on the cleaning people. to be honest, i don't want to see any moscow thing in our country. we are a free, independent country. we should not be subordinated to some moscow. patriarchy we don't need to haul, has more from cave. well, this is the increasingly complicated. i have to say not as not to mention tense, stand off over the keys, perchance sky lover monastery complex. this is a golden domed religious complex overlooking the deeper river, also known as the monastery of the caves. it is the most significant orthodox site here in ukraine and the most recent back story. there is a longer one,

but the most recent back story dates the last year that between the government of ukraine and the ukranian orthodox church of the claims the government made that the church had failed to sever ties with moscow. after having professed to have cut ties with a rational docs church, which of course supports the invasion here in ukraine. agents rated church property last year looking for evidence of ties to russian agents. they didn't find any. and the latest ratcheting up of the standards came on saturday. the metropolitan part of the abbot of the monastery notified that he was required for questioning over allegations that he personally had supported the invasion last year. and that he was using religion to incite hatred and division. his property was rated his home rated by intelligence agents on saturday as well. he claims that these are trumped up charges political charges. he denies them. ron's judiciary chief has threatened to prosecute without mercy women who flout the strict dress code present. abraham lacy also says that wearing the hedge up or head scarf is the law. this is in
