with numerous terrorist attacks that are, that it is the biggest source of terrorism in the world today. so when you're from with, it's a fact he also called on the u. n. and the red cross to investigate the debts. although it seems unlikely that independent experts will get access to the scene d, w 's on the t his bill ago is in odessa early. he told me how ukrainians are reacting. the public is reacting with outreach. people here are convinced that this was the deliberate killing of these prisoners of war, these prisoners of war. we've just heard it. they were a partly, at least members of the us off battalion. and there were people who were captured in a, in the siege of moore. you, paul, and the people here are convinced that this is a revenge that russia is taking on them. the as off battalion has been a very important part of russia's propaganda and has been depicted as, as

a cruel enemy by russian media. um, so people here are now demanding many people. we've just heard. officials have demanded that, but also many people from civil society are demanding an independent investigation by an international in organization into this, into this drama. they are demanding access for the red cross, for example, and un organizations to the site. and if anything it has, of course, i left a very bitter note here and left people very determined to, to get to the bottom of these events. and of course, also there people calling for revenge finger pointing from both sides. your again, ukrainian officials accused russian forces of carrying out these killings in order to cover up the mistreatment or torture of those prisoners. what evidence if any, do they point to? so the ukranian army maintains that no rockets have been fired at all in if not,

and nor rockets have been fired even close to that region at that particular time. and are they are they have pointed to pictures of this, of the site, saying that this is not the typical damage. a high mass would do, for example, some windows were still unbroken at very close to the explosion which they say points to a local explosion. but not a major rocket rocket strike by these very destructive high mars. and the ukrainian secret service has published intercepted phone calls for a by fight is of the, of these pro russian regimes in the, in the don't ask area who have seemingly confirmed that this was a local explosion. that at that moment, there was outgoing fire for from dr. rockets at that particular place,

but no incoming fire. i am not sure whether there is any additional additional information presented to the western partners. but the you, for example, has been very quick to adopt this, a ukrainian i read out of the situation and i've condemned russia for this. and as also beam tweet by the russian embassy in london saying that the as of fighters deserve a. you merely ating death, that's also something that points to that version to job user mathias bellinger. there are many, many thanks a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world at the shower, russia state own gas company gas vaughn has cut off gas supplies to lock via siding contract violations. lafayette has said it will buy gas from the other russian suppliers. russia recently suspended gas supply says several e u nations because they refuse to pay roubles. all 8 people on board of rescue
