that the investigators a half to check over 400 turns 400 graves, where they found a corpses varying traces of torture. some of those graves are also indicate that people died of hunger loss bringing while a cities a were occupied is also a graves of children there. so this will be a very hard task as a 1000 to these offices from all over the country who came here in the region to assist those investigations and is already 200 investigations opened by the general prosecutor to look into. does alleged a crimes into hockey region and i was in monterey, shes reporting from her chief earlier marina myron from the center for military ethics at king's college in london, told us how ukraine was able to push back the russian troops in the north. they have seen some really impressive offensive capabilities in the north. so in the

region of resume, which is see, argue all blessed are closed through rushes water. however, we're still seeing some difficulties in the south. so essentially, the reason for the success, it was a surprise whose russian forces, as they have moved their troops to the south, expecting the so called her so on offensive. however, as a couldn't hold the ground in the north. and the amount of ukrainian troops deployed was a nose and offensive was outnumbering whatever was left there of the russian horses . so the best they could do was retreat to save men. our right now the question is that was a tactical game, was a ukrainian military. however, they need to hold at ground, and so it is too early to tell how that will turn out. that being said,

they definitely undermined roches plans in, in military tactical sense. now is interesting that you would say that, especially the last bit because the russian president vladimir putin, a just said that the counter offensive that came as a surprise, as you say, won't change rushes plans that russia has so far not deployed. it's full force is and he added quote, we aren't in a rush. what you make of that? well, obviously it was a slap for russia and in a tactical sense. and the whole idea was to be able to surround slip and scan chrome authoress and root needs, or at least a chance scenario. now on the ground, they will have to regroup and change their plan and they're seeing obviously the continuous push in the curse on region. and that is strategically much more important. obviously, there needs to be kind of some diplomatic exit for put in, in order to keep them morale high of his forces on the ground and or say of trying

to mobilize more forces right now as we speak. however, occurs on is difficult in terms of logistical support to the troops. so it remains to be seen how that plays out. a summary, not just briefly, if you were just looking at the other side, the west cam ukraine, handle this or offensive, or the counter offensive on its own. does it need more support from the west and will it get it? that's a great question because obviously as the condra offensive took place now 6 months into the war, the ukrainian forces have received an enormous amount of help from the west and both in military equipment as well as in training. yet we have to think about the seasons and about the fact that the winter is approaching and the bog, ukrainian economy,

which it is about to crumble according to the world bank. they need to 349000000000 for recovery of the ukrainian economy. so on the one hand, they have to sustain that war effort. on the other hand, they will have to provide for the correlation. and we've have seen of russia has been targeting critical infrastructure. and we've seen black out throughout the country. so that makes things more complicated and we have a bigger picture. where was, you know, the russian gas and oil supplies in europe. so that money has to come from somewhere as a how that ukraine needs and in how far you are pm. countries are willing to sacrifice the good of their own citizens to help ukraine remains to be seen. that's . that's the big question. indeed, a marina myron, an honorary research fellow in the defense studies department center for military ethics at king's college in london. thank you so much. thank you. and now to some
