7:02 am
a pro ukrainian group may have carried out the attack. the kremlin, however, has dismissed the allegations as a quote attempt to rig the news. this recording is from the moment after the nod stream pipelines exploded and started leaking gas. countries have blamed each other for the damage since september 2022. now, new intelligence suggests that a pro ukraine group was behind it by one you, an aide to ukraine's president for laudermill zalinski has denied any involvement by cave. russia, meanwhile, has dismissed the report of foreign ministry spokesperson muddy. as i, cordova saved, the tries to divert public attention and avoid of proper investigation with a nod stream pipelines one and 2 carried natural gas from russia to germany.
7:03 am
their destruction at the points seen here has been shrouded in mystery. the blasts occurred nearly half a year into russia's invasion of ukraine. various players could have had something to gain from the attack. export see those include russian oligarchs. i mean, let's not forget that the oligarchy with half of the biggest russia, right up until just about a year ago. lots of very wealthy, influential, a networks of people would have a political branch reasons essentially, to help undermine capitan's war effort. ah, recover maybe some of what they had lost? mean val. u. s. officials have said it is too early to draw conclusions and it belongs to 2 or 3 countries that are investigating exactly what transpired or german allies, our swedish and danish partners as well. they've open investigation into,
7:04 am
into what has happened. they, those investigations are ongoing. as we always do, we're going to let those investigations play out before we comments on any potential findings or conclusions. there are many marquis questions who ordered the attack, who executed it, and who paid for it, but perhaps the biggest question who is benefiting from it? and will we ever know? and some more on this, i'm joined now by our political correspondent benjamin alvarez karuba here in the studio, and by our correspondent in team, i mean, se, and benjamin. let's start with this joint investigation by the 3 german media outlets which is brought to light. some of this new evidence and can you tell us what exactly did they find out? they had concrete information saying that there were 6 people, 5 men, one woman that the portage from a german port. and then at the boat was found
7:05 am
a yard that they rented, and poland alleged belonging to ukrainians was found near an island in denmark. so the pointing towards a pro ukrainian group, that's what they saying. we have this meter report coming out yesterday. we have to say that there's an unconfirmed reports that has not been an official reaction by the german government. and that's not surprising because they actually don't comment on that by saying also that the swedish and the danish counterparts told them and informed that the investigations that are ongoing have not come to any results yet. okay, so, so some quite exact details, but as you say, these are unconfirmed reports. could all of this though potentially trigger a shift in relations between germany and keith? so, as you mentioned, of course, that would mean something keep quickly sad that there's no involvement by them. so the government, an aid of ukraine, president william lensky said that they were not involved. it's important to see this in a broader context. this is not the 1st investigation that is leading to that matter
7:06 am
. and the blame came started immediately, also in september when this happened, it, let's remember that ukraine immediately pointed at moscow without presenting evidence. moscow pointed to the u. k saying that the british navy was involved without presenting any evidence london. so that, that was not the case with another investigation saying that it was the u. s. and now we have this one, this media reports that are coming out yet. but of course, that could potentially mean a shift by germany and by western support to ukraine. and that's also why they reacted so rapidly and say, we are not involved with this. and even if it actually was this per ukrainian group, we don't have any additional information there. okay. i mean, and as we're hearing, keith has denied involvement in this north stream her sabotaged. can you tell us a little more about keith's reaction? add to these reports. miss haloperidol, the ac is a senior adviser to president lensky. he said that you had absolutely no involvement in this scheme and said they didn't have any information about it. um,
7:07 am
he was a little more humorous on twitter. he said that although he liked collecting a funny conspiracy theories about ukraine are the only thing he knows about the nord stream pipelines is that they think i'm, i think there are a lot of ukrainians who would not be embarrassed or they wouldn't think it would be bad that ukrainian would we be involved in such a scheme, but of course that's a doesn't amount to evidence. okay. and do you sense and nervousness at all and keep that this could strain relations with ukraine's allies, especially with berlin and ally that they've been relying on heavily for support. i think key of as banking on a safe relations with berlin in the future at least for now, because the berlin had already committed to our winning itself off of russian gas before the pipelines exploded. that issue had been more or less resolved from ki of
7:08 am
standpoint. in other words, they had seen that germany was atoning for its dependence on russian gas. now, relations at the beginning of the war were a bit strained between ki of, and berlin because of a reluctance of on berlin side to send weapons and potentially escalate the conflict, drawing nato into the conflict. but that has all warmed up in the course of this war. and i think both parties right now have an interest in keeping relations good and keeping their bad relations at the bottom of the ocean as it were. all right, i mean, se reporting from keith and benjamin alvarez group. thanks so much team this now ukraine has launched an investigation to find the russian soldiers who apparently killed an unarmed ukrainian prisoner of war offset graphic footage emerged. video circling circulating on social media appears to show a man in a ukrainian uniform, finishing a cigarette and shouting glory to ukraine before being shot. the ukrainian army
7:09 am
without providing further evidence says it believes the man is a 41 year old, who has been listed as missing near the and baffled city of bar mood since february . in his nightly video address, president zalinski urged all ukrainians to echo the soldiers words. she wouldn't lose your wounds have you do. a video appeared to day showing how the occupiers brutally killed a soldier who bravely said to their face, glory to ukraine. i want us altogether immunity to respond to his words and glory, to the hero, glory, to heroes, glory to ukraine, and we will find the killers. you may as made them over. when jo, dash is an international human rights and criminal law expert, and we asked him for his assessment of the alleged killing, and if it indicates a systematic approach by russian fighters. well, yes, i think that's clear, the criminal plan or the russian military. i refer to it as
7:10 am
a criminal plan because that's what the pattern of violations suggest. they suggest that russia is not just trying to occupy ukraine, but he's trying to actually coast the civilian population into accepting that occupation into allowing russia to extinguish their identity. and so what we see here is across ukraine, across where it's been occupied is a tax on civilian infrastructure. attacks on civilians themselves, which range from everything, from arbitrary detention to torture within detention to forcible displacement to the abduction of civilians. and in this case, where you just refer to the indiscriminate attacks on prisoners of war, the, this is a pattern and this is a clam attendance. take a look now at some of the, of the news making headlines around the world. police and demonstrators have
