some accused officials also have accused russia, were a deliberate to destroy evidence of torture and executions. that's what people here in ukraine think. and the families of the as of defenders have gone to the street and have protested against what happened there. and much as you've mentioned, those claims of accused asians of russia carrying out some kind of cover up of it's miss treatment of prisoners. now has there been any evidence provided for this claim? ukraine maintains that no rockets have been fired in that direction and no rockets have been fired in that part of the front and thus it cannot be them who targeted them. moreover, they have presented some tapped phone calls by fight is from these m pro

russian regimes in the, in the east of ukraine in donetta and, and ended on excretion. and in these phone calls, soldiers clearly say that they think it's something that russia has a that russia has blown up this facility and that they have been that they have been no incoming fire from ukraine, but they have been out coming rockets. this is the most yeah, most most striking piece of circumstantial evidence, of course, there is no hard evidence and that's why the ukrainian government, many people here and ukraine, call for an investigation by an independent unit like a like the red cross or the you went into these into these into what happened there. armed has also been a tweet by the russian embassy in britain that says that these are,
