the azov regiment, which remains in mariupol on azovstal, has previously called for the mediation of the un and other international organizations to evacuate peaceful ukrainians and wounded soldiers, and serhiy lavrov stated that russia rejected ukraine's offer to hold negotiations in mariupol in moscow. antonio guterres also met with vladimir putin in the russian capital he flew immediately after the negotiations with the president of turkey, he died of reprimands about the results of antonio buteresha's negotiations with the russian side a report by natalka skopenko, the un secretary general, who called for an immediate ceasefire in ukraine, before that he proposed an easter truce, which ukraine supported and russia rejected . and now, during a visit to moscow, antonio guterres took a new initiative to create a special group for humanitarian corridors and corridors. detart truly we urgently need humanitarian corridors that are really safe and effective that everyone respects in order to evacuate civilians and deliver the necessary assistance for this purpose i

offered to create a humanitarian contact group that would unite russia, ukraine and the un, this would allow to open safe corridors with a local cessation of hostilities and guarantee their real effectiveness, at a meeting with the minister of foreign affairs of russia, the un secretary general noted that they have different views on what is happening in ukraine but this does not limit the possibility of holding a serious dialogue and reaching an agreement on the peaceful resolution of the conflict from his side. sergey lavrov says to talk about mediation in peace negotiations between russia and ukraine is premature, although, according to him, moscow is ready to cooperate with the un, here they are interested in cooperating with our colleagues in the zone of the international committee of the red cross for additional efforts to ease the situation of the suffering of the civilian population. prior to this, lavrov stated that by supplying weapons to ukraine, nato is waging a war against russia, which could

turn into the third world war, these assumptions were rejected today by the british minister of the armed forces text a-a i don't think that now there is an imminent threat of escalation in my opinion, what the west is doing the support of his allies in ukraine was very well weighed today by antonio guterres, who expressed regret that he did not become a participant in the norman format, assured that he wants to do everything possible to end the suffering of the ukrainian people, he also met with president putin, although before that british prime minister boris johnson warned the head of the un that during his visit to moscow, putin will be manipulated, and president volodymyr zelenskyi, who is supposed to meet with gotares on thursday, was unhappy that he is going to moscow first and not to kyiv today at emphasized that almost 16 million people need humanitarian aid in ukraine, at the same time it is

assumed that by the end of the year, more than eight million people may leave ukraine due to the war. an international meeting of an advisory group on the defense of ukraine was held at the american rammstein military base in germany. it was convened by the united states and 40 countries of the world responded to the calls. the goal of to coordinate support for ukraine, including arms, so that ukraine wins the war, this conference is taking place immediately after the visit to kyiv of secretary of state anthony blinkin and us secretary of defense lloyd austin at the rammstein military base my colleague hryhoriy zhigalov worked today congratulations to hryhoriy, let's start with the results, what are the specific results of today's meeting i will start with the fact that the head of the pentagon himself called

today's event historic. well, there are many reasons for this, among other things, the number of participants of the united states managed to gather today at the rammstein military base, 40 countries representatives of 40 countries from around the world met right after this secret visit of the secretary of state to kyiv and the us secretary of defense to kyiv was here in germany at the rammstein base and the minister of defense of ukraine, he familiarized his colleagues with the situation on the battlefields in ukraine, as well as with ukraine's military needs . what does the armed forces of ukraine need now in order to be able to defend themselves? well, the second block of questions, as a matter of fact, can now help ukraine defend itself. what weapons and finally, the question of how to help ukraine in the future and how to make ukraine

so strong that ukraine will be able to defend itself against any threat in the future. they are also no less historical. it can be said that 40 countries of the world from canada to australia have united in understanding the threat as who is carrying this russian invasion and it's not only about today the whole free world is thinking today how to help ukraine win this war let's listen to what the head of the pentagon said thing we can't waste time today's briefings clearly explained why the coming weeks will be so decisive for ukraine, so we must move at the speed of war. and i know that today these leaders are leaving here with greater determination than ever to support ukraine in its fight against russian aggression and atrocities. well, one must understand that it is far not all the results of today's meeting

were announced publicly later, but we already see certain reports that certain countries are ready to increase the supply of weapons to ukraine. by the way, germany will transfer cheetah anti-aircraft tanks for ukraine was announced by the minister of defense of germany. this is the announcement that has been waiting for so long in kyiv. let's also listen. we have decided to help with cheetah tank systems. this is exactly what ukraine needs now to protect its sky with land systems, and during this conference we will also to study how we can continue to support ukraine and its struggle for peace and freedom earlier about the fact that additional batches of weapons will be sent to ukraine great britain became aware that france is supplying a new batch of weapons this

the list can be continued , even lavrov's words did not frighten the western countries. today, he once again stressed from moscow that with such military aid to ukraine, the west is threatening to unleash a third world olga, this grigoriia . this competition, it heals. such a radical break in the way the democratic world reacts to russian aggression, and we are already talking not only about a conditional measure, but in general about the entire democratic court once again, that is, 40 countries of the world participated in today's meeting for a long time, it must be remembered that for a long time the countries of the west were very cautious in military aid to ukraine

. a lot of people today talked about the involvement of the military industry in order to ensure such supplies not only now, when the active phase of russian aggression against ukraine continues, but also in the future, so that ukraine remains a country with a powerful army, as the new pentagon stated, ukraine needs help now to win this war, and ukraine is receiving this help, and another important point that many journalists drew attention to is finland, finland today took part in this meeting in countries that in the near future it is going to submit an application to join nato , and well, this issue actually seems to have been resolved after ten years of neutral status, and today i had the opportunity to listen to a high-ranking representative of the ministry

of finland's defense and he actually declared that this issue was practically resolved and that the turning point for the country was the russian aggression oleg. please tell me why they chose the american military base in germany near the border with france as the meeting place. is this a symbolic decision or is there a certain practical reason this is a very interesting question, well, of course practically, the reason is that this military base is located in germany, not far from the border with france , logistically, it is quite easy to get here practically from his own world, but it is necessary to understand that this meeting that took place today was worthy of the united states, not under the auspices of nato, and in this way, washington shows that it takes a leading role in ensuring worldwide support for ukraine, and indeed the rammstein air base is very symbolically, this is the largest american

military base in the world outside the united states and the united states, it is also a very important military center in europe, and it is also a giant logistics center. it is through the rammstein air base that the almost all the military aid from the united states that goes to ukraine. well, the venue also symbolizes the unity of the west, it symbolizes the courage and the fact that the scarecrows of moscow actually do not work in the west anymore, olgovo. thank you for such a thorough analysis - it was a correspondent bbc and hryhoriy zhigalov about the meeting of the advisory group on the defense of ukraine, which came today to the american military base ramstein in germany , brought the russian contingent in unrecognized transnistria to full combat readiness about this reported the ukrainian general staff for the second day in a row in the so-called transnistria, explosions have been heard

according to the statements of the local authorities, this territory is controlled by pro-russian separatists, so far no one has taken responsibility for the explosions, and there are currently no official confirmations of the explosions themselves, on tuesday early in the morning, the ministry of internal affairs recognized the republic and reported the detonation two huge radio screens, the so-called transnistrian authorities announced terrorist attacks, the president of moldova convened a meeting of the security council of the country, santa also called on the citizens keep calm and called it provocations , the corruption of the provocateurs, we condemn any provocations and attempts to drag the republic of moldova into such actions that endanger peace in our country, this tension has arisen in a territory that de facto is not under the control of chisinau, but this territory belongs to the republic of moldova and our citizens live there, our priorities are peace, protection of life and well-being of our compatriots, provocation we called the explosions in

unrecognized transnistria ministry of foreign affairs of ukrainian affairs there also emphasized that ukraine resolutely supports the territorial integrity of moldova within its internationally recognized borders. this was a quote and condemns attempts to involve the transnistrian region in russia's war against ukraine. transnistria is not recognized. it is actually a closed territory. neither international media nor moldovan media have access to it. at the same time, russia has increased its military presence in the region even before the war with ukraine. it is about russian peacekeepers and operative military forces of russia guarding warehouses with ammunition or can the russian army use this separatist territory in the war against ukraine and open a second front zhanna bezpyashchuk asked the expert of the ukrainian foreign policy council prizma serhii gerasimchuk and serhiy, in your opinion, can russia use transnistria to attack ukraine from the

south, one way or another, this is a distraction the attention of the ukrainian army and the ukrainian armed forces from those key directions in which combat operations are now wanted, i.e. in the east of ukraine and in the south of ukraine, that is, we can get an additional factor the distraction is just the transnistrian direction , now when we see these explosions in transnistria, there is a risk that they may be repeated in kolbar, formally russia is emphasized because it is difficult to guard and it may require the introduction of an additional contingent to guard these warehouses may require it from moldova can demand it because of the theory of moldova, but it can also try to use the terrasse airport in order to introduce this additional contingent through our territory, if we say to carry out cooperation from crimea, it will not be for a short time,

up to 10 minutes in the airspace of ukraine, but there is simply a question whether ukraine will shoot it down, or whether ukraine will have the opportunity to shoot it down, or whether the political leadership will have the will to issue such an order, therefore there is this risk. we have a problem with the destabilization of moldova because we see that only the initial phases of these provocations, only a few explosions without victims have already led to the flow of residents of ukraine moving towards moldova, what is known about the objects on territories of unrecognized transnistria that russian troops can use to attack ukraine are ammunition and ammunition warehouses that were formed there when the soviet union signed an agreement with troops from the warsaw pact states and the german democratic republic, and most of the ammunition was taken out precisely on the territory of transnistria and one of the the argument for the presence of

russian troops on the territory of transnistria was security in the composition of poltava, it is said that on the one hand there were russian peacekeepers or the status recognized and mobile supports it. well, the other part of the russian troops are those who guard warehouses in sausages, despite the obligation of russia to withdraw these troops and ammunition according to the osce decision 99 of 2001, and what never happened, and now russia can justify that it not only justifiably left its soldiers there, but also demanded the strengthening of this contingent, saying that the ammunition warehouses are dangerous because the detonation of these ammunitions can be equated in terms of explosive power to the explosion in hiroshima in relation to other objects in addition to the sausage warehouses, which have only such man-made dimensions, the risk is also the teraspil airport, by and large, the

airport has not been used for a very long period of time, according to its status, it is closed, however, even to the warehouses in the charcuterie and will be taras of the polish airport for a long time, if not i'm wrong , osce observers weren't allowed for about 10 years, and that's why we ca n't fully assess either what's happening in the warehouses or what's happening at the airport, the other day he himself said in his statement that she can neither confirm nor deny the use of the teraspil airport and peacekeepers, that is, actually, the peacekeeping contingent is about 500 people, which in principle has no effect on the situation, but together with the active group of russian troops guarding the warehouses of kolbars already 1,500-1,700 people, and if they eat their efforts with the transnistrians

with the so-called transnistrian army, then we will receive an additional five to seven thousand of the transnistrian army. moscow continues to shell ukrainian civilian industrial and military infrastructure, the latest reports from the front are as follows: the kremlin shelled kharkiv again , according to preliminary data, three people died there and seven were wounded, one person was killed by russian shelling in zaporizhzhia, one more was wounded, the russians bombed odesa region again , information about the victims there is being clarified in mariupol, russia struck 35 airdrops on the steel plant for night, in addition to the military, there are also civilians on the territory, the russian army continues its offensive in the east of ukraine, trying to establish full control over the donetsk and luhansk regions and ensure the corridor with crimea is stated in the summary of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine according to these data in the north donets direction, combat operations are going on in the area of ​​the settlement of rubizhne because of it, there were also attempted attacks in the

avdiiv direction near novomykhailivka and maryanka, how ukrainian fighters are holding the defense in donbas bbc report from the scene of events the first sounds of spring are muffled by heavy shelling in the east of ukraine the tattered flag is still flying but signs of life are disappearing in front of the renewed russian mood the russians are advancing slowly but bringing chaos and destruction along in the entire region, most people have already left the cities and towns of donbass, there are only a few left. we met valentin when a woman was trying to find food during a lull between battles. it is definitely dangerous. and who is not afraid? of course it is dangerous. and who is not afraid now

? even the silence is frightening. you don’t know what to expect. her home, lysychansk, has turned into an underground city, except for valentina, in this dark, damp hiding place, there are half a hundred people. they say that they are running out of clean water and food, and some don't even care. who will win brains brains boil brains two fool, we are suffering. these are the ones who suffer. oh, and here are the old men, but there is no rest from the constant shelling . this is turning into another russian war of attrition. the russians are trying to break through the defenses of the ukrainian forces along the entire 480-kilometer front line. we are bombarded by missile

strikes every day, every hour, if we lose. lose not only ukraine the whole world loses here they still rely mainly on old soviet weapons but proudly show us their ufo anti-tank missile delivered from britain they used another to destroy a russian tank we need this weapon this is our freedom to win the war we need this weapon when we have more weapons the war will end you have this weapon enough of this no well the ukrainian military has been holding this front since 2014 in the fight against the separatists who are supported by russia are being held and now already in the fight against the

russian army, for the last eight years there have been irregular battles here, now it has turned into a full-scale war and they are being shelled by russian artillery, this war is at the height of life from donbass abandoned cities and towns are slowly being destroyed, we can see this during our journey through the region from lysychansk to slovyansk to the estuary in the north, the only thing that is obvious is that whoever wins this war, the price will be great and bitter, the russian military has shifted its main forces to the east of ukraine among them there are also units that, according to the information of the armed forces of ukraine, tortured civilians in bucha, now the investigators need to collect the entire evidence base so that the accused of crimes are punished about this establishment of justice.

it may drag on for years, but it should not to stop international or national investigators from carrying out their work, believes the former chief prosecutor of the un international tribunal for the issues of his slavia and rwanda, richard golden. my colleague tetyana kharchenko spoke to the judge earlier. you claimed that the events in ukraine are difficult to call a genocide yet, we need to gather more evidence and the events in buch and other ukrainian cities, those mass murders of civilians, did they change your opinion and effect? ​​i believe that the prosecution will need to find out all the facts, regardless of whether the case will be considered by the international prosecutor or the ukrainian national prosecutor, it will be necessary to decide why when the murders were committed for the destruction of ukrainians or, say, for the conquest of land during the invasion, because the large number of dead is not necessarily evidence of genocide, it without a doubt indicates the name of a crime against humanity and it is

also a heinous crime which is defined by international criminal law and includes murder and attacks on the civilian population that are carried out systematically and are widespread however, to commit a crime against humanity does not require a prior plan to wipe out a certain group or part of a group from the face of the earth, from the testimony i saw in buch and other cities in the kyiv region or in mariupol, crimes against humanity were committed, these were attacks on innocent civilians, at the same time, i cannot go in like this far from claiming that president putin or his military generals intended to commit genocide. and you were the first prosecutor in the cases of the punishment of war criminals from the former yugoslavia. can you compare the crimes that were committed for example, in bosnia from clay with the crimes against civilians that we see in ukraine now, as for me, the biggest similarity is that in bosnia, the serbian military committed crimes in many bosnian

villages within a short period of time, they destroyed all the muslim mosques, they behaved very similarly in all these villages, we came to the conclusion that this did not happen by accident, that apparently the military received orders to commit such crimes crimes against humanity, and after the srebrenica massacre in april 1995, we said that it was genocide and the court supported this decision. if we return to your question, then the similarity can be traced in the fact that there are many and systematically the number of crimes, respectively, international and national investigators must collect evidence now, as they do, in addition to the actions of the russians of the military in ukraine, there are also statements by vladimir

putin, the president of russia, and that ukraine is a fictitious country and ukrainians as a nation do not exist, or can his words indicate that the actions of the russian military in ukraine are directed against ukrainians as a nation, putin's statement that ukraine does not exist and that there is no such nation as ukrainians can be a strong evidence in support of the charge of genocide because when you refuse to recognize the existence of people your next step is to destroy the people who claim that they are who you do not want to recognize all these statements must eventually be considered taking into account what is happening on the ground, physically you cannot reject these statements, they are a single whole, they create a single map. well, what is happening, what future do you think awaits vladimir putin personally and other russian politicians who started this war i am constantly asked whether it

will be possible to send president putin to court . life is unpredictable, and probably the philanderer did not think that in a few years he would be removed from office and the new government would send him to court. we know what putin's future will be if his people decide even more they don't want to see him as their leader, he may end up with a judge in the hague or in kyiv. such terrible crimes, my heart is with the victims of these crimes, they are the only people for whom international courts should work and when there are delays in the establishment of justice, of course it is difficult for them, they see the perpetrators of their grief who walk the streets among other men and women in bosnia they walked next to their victims in the same villages where the crimes were committed i want to tell them that there are so many people in the world who feel your pain and want

justice for you you should know that people it doesn't matter what happened to you one day yes one day justice will be established the arch of friendship of peoples in kyiv will no longer be renamed the arch of freedom of the ukrainian people , the mayor of the capital, vitaliy klitschko, announced this during the dismantling of the workers' sculpture that was placed as a gift, the bbc correspondent will tell more from the scene of the events. the monument to these two soviet workers, which you see, was erected 40 years ago. now they are being dismantled. they hold the symbol of the ussr high above their heads. they were erected to symbolize the friendship between russia and ukraine . eight years of conflict, this friendship no longer exists, relations have been destroyed, so the city council, headed by mayor vitaliy klitschko, decided that the monument should be dismantled, but its future fate is still

unknown, one of the architects of this park said that he would like it to be melted down, but when talking with mayor klitschko, he said that it is possible to turn the monument into a museum. we know that something will appear in its place, which will symbolize the freedom of the people of ukraine, and the arch itself will be renamed the arch of freedom of the ukrainian people, the russian wars in ukraine were also with us, stay with us, dear viewers, i congratulate everyone who is currently watching the joint broadcast of the channels direct and espresso, if you suddenly expected to see matvii of ganapole here, that's all that's right, he will appear literally in a moment however, today well, in principle, this week will be in such a rather unusual format, but

nevertheless
