a horrific mask, leaf. and ukrainian soldiers have found more than before. 100 bodies buried near the city of israel after it was freed from russian control. it would've, that would've here lie the bodies of 17 of their com rates surrounded by hundreds of individual graves with only crushes to mark them. a typical william, we only found this place because russian soldiers opposed to the video on line a lot. the for, for, is there with there was any those ever and with whom i am on the cross that says they're 17 bodies. but i'm that video. well, in that there were more good. we should that we have not counted them yet, but i think there must be at least 25 or 30 body will say she may be. this is not the only mass grave here that we now have to work and identify every one who died here. calling ah, earlier this week, president cilenzo erased the ukrainian flag in indian wagner. not the city

had been under russian control for more than 5 months. is now show scenes of destruction on isabel and people are without running water, electricity, or heat. sa lensky said an investigation would follow the findings in the forest. my hold from a shop, we want the world to know what is happening and what the russian occupation has led to watch in butcher mario, paul. and now unfortunately, is you see if russia is leaving death behind in everywhere and must be held responsible, the world must bring russia to real responsibility for this war. then we will do everything for this. 0 more said little ukraine, able to reclaim all its territory after we taking is e. m. however,

russia still house around the 5th of the country. a correspondent, nick conley in, hawkins says, ukrainian or authorities now face the task of piecing together the circumstances behind those mass graves. well, definitely, if there is little to say that somehow those russian troops who were in his room for 5 months, we heard that. but somehow have behaved very differently to what we've previously seen, close to kia place like butcher, and it appears in terms of the way they behave toward civilians. has to be said, though there are reports in the ukraine press right now that it is believe the least a part of these bodies belong people who lost their lives during shelling of the city. these things take a long time when you think back to the spring when those cities closer to key of were freed, were recovered by the cranium forces. it took weeks and weeks for the, for the ukrainian authorities, for all the kind of a judicial organs to get involved, steward to the dna, analysis of the people there, and also to trying to track down their relatives. it's important to him,

a lot of people from this part of ukraine have either fled deep into a western ukraine or to europe or to russia to try to find out a reconstruct is people were and how their last days looked like is a very long process but definitely that is the fear that as this you crank offensive takes and secure, more touchy they're going to be finding people everywhere they go. i was close to the russian border yesterday and the locals. they were pretty much sure that in the forest around they would definitely be still be finding a lot of people who lost their lives, trying to get out trying to get ukrainian held territory. also, they were sure that there were bodies of lots of ukrainian soldiers, maybe prisons of war that they believe might have been mistreated by the russian forces in that part of the country. so lots of gruesome discovery is expected here in the days and weeks to come. right. and the ukrainian a counter offensive i haven't ukrainian force has been able to maintain their momentum it is ongoing, obviously for now,

the russians been able to kind of take up more stable new positions using rivers and other bits of kind of the topography. this part of the country to make things easy for them to defend. and also, now, you know, we have seen that the ukraine's now hit russian positions kind of foot se forgive towards dumbass, where the russians are better set up, have more in the way supplies and better trained troops. but this is ongoing, and we definitely have seen now that without this fact of region, without this kind of way in to supply its troops in don bass, russia's having real trouble. and we're seeing ukraine making real progress around city or towards so than yes, that city, that lillian summer was such an important but very hard one victory for the russian . so i sense that ukraine is our role, but maybe the next half weeks are not going to be as easy as fast what we've seen in recent days. i thank you for that neck and neck. commonly, in hockey, germany is to take control of russian own refineries in the country, including units of the oil giant rosin. the hope is that this will ensure energy

security before an embargo on russian oil begins next year. but it has placed rosner german subsidiaries under trusteeship, which means a federal regulator can take control of 3 large refiners in the country. once in the eastern town, which used to draw a 100 percent of its own from russia. whether it's not looking for alternative sources to keep the refineries running, get more on the ship seeking fiercely from a business dress. welcome, steven. so why is the german government to doing this now? as you said, the some this goes back to the decision taken by germany along with much of the rest of that you to end russian oil imports by the end of this year. now much of that oil comes into eastern germany via pipelines and a lot of that oil goes to this key refinery, fit in the north and actually supplies the berlin region as well. it's seen as one of the critical refineries in germany. it is controlled, however, majority controlled by a ross enough subsidiary. now,

that subsidiary has made clear that it has no incentive and no interest in procuring other kinds of oil. once the pipeline oil cuts off. now poland, in the mean time has said that it's willing to provide some help as a pipeline from good dance. gonna baltic see the could actually help provide some oil. but it said that it won't, russian control removed from, but before it acts, the german government had another reason to take care of matters. that is that there are a number of employees, 1200 employees. in fact, in that refinery. many of them german, most of the german, perhaps who want a resolution to this is also had reason not to act so rash. that is, all is still flowing through the pipeline. and it doesn't know how russia is going to react. ultimately, what germany said is that the position that banks were put in that ensures were put in that suppliers for these refiners were put and meant that they had to act now because they were raising questions and saying, what is the structure of this refinery? ok, so does this mean that germany is all supplies are secure for the coming winter? that's what the government says is that ultimately it has other options in terms of

global supply. and that does make sense as well. the question will really be, how is that supply going to get to these key refineries. they are essentially connected right? to russia, that is where the oil comes in and very cheaply over time. that is a very cheap solution. now you're gonna have to bring a lot of that in with tankers, and there are 2 ports that they're looking at. one is ra, stock and germany on the baltic sea. the other is good dance tanker. prices have already shot up. that means it's going to expensive also to those ports have capacity to bring enough oil into those into those refinery. so these are the questions that are looming. it means that prices could go up, but the supply is there. the logistics are pretty tricky. and then we also don't know what russia is going to do in response to this just sort of zooming out from at so has the german state effectively nationalized these, these, these russian facilities? are we talking about a temporary type of? no, it hasn't nationalized. it's not taking possession of the assets of this refinery. what it's doing is taking control of critical infrastructure and it's legally allowed to do that. it says its own privately,

but it's critical for our uses here. and so we will control the assets that are still owned by others. it will push ross enough out of the way and look for another operator. there are signs that there could be groups interested in coming in and taking over the position. the question is where it goes from here. we've seen that with something similar happened with a gas pumps. today that's the state, the russian state owned natural gas firm. they had a subsidiary here in germany. it was also put in trusteeship. but it's been burning through money and the question is there a nationalization might make more sense because the difficult economics of natural gas right now with oil, it might actually work to bring in another provider that the economic incentives might be there. so there is probably a better outlook, but the logistics are still going to be tricky. ok, thank you for that student beasley from a t w business. now here's a look at a couple of other stories that making headlines around the world. but francis has said that he believes it's morally right for countries to supply weapons to help you cry and defend itself against russia. pontiff was commenting to journalists on
