this will happen in any case, moscow will be forced to say show its true face well, if , for example, just as from the experience of the past, the russian side will not comply with anything, i do not know what the punishments for this may be, that is, what sanctions are provided there on the part of the un, if there is an agreement, they will still not fulfill it. well, it's an agreement, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not some kind of contractual obligation. well, if they promised, they gave a promise, took a promise, uh- that is, this is a more moral one i.e. russia is once again showing its face without any consequences for russia, there won't be any legal consequences, but the political consequences, of course , are piling up, and look at what is being done, but that russia and russia can agree on something, and

some europeans now themselves say that russia has become capable, not without a treaty. i understood you well. thank you very much for your comment about the visit of the accountant general to ukraine. we spoke with oleksandr matsuka, a ukrainian diplomat and head of the secretariat of the un security council in 2009-16 thank you the house of commons is the lower house of the parliament of canada they unanimously supported the resolution on recognition of russia's actions in ukraine as genocide canadian mps recognized that there is clear and sufficient evidence of systematic and mass war crimes against humanity committed by the russian military under the leadership of president vladimir putin and members of the russian parliament these crimes include mass atrocities, systematic cases of intentional killing of civilians, desecration of corpses, forcible transfer of ukrainian children torture, bodily harm, rape, etc.

earlier on april 14, the verkhovna rada recognized russia's actions in ukraine as genocide of the ukrainian people. well, how widely is it realistic to recognize russia's actions as genocide before the actions of eh, yes, eh, i will note that earlier russia's actions in ukraine were recognized as genocide by eh -m ajestindrido and in front of him, president joe biden, well , now the first parliament of a foreign country actually recognized it. and what can this actually give to ukraine? why is it important and what actions generally fall under the e-e signs of genocide, we will talk with the minister of justice of ukraine, mr. denys malyuska, i greet you. good evening. please tell me, let's start with the definition of genocide and the importance of the decision of the canadian parliament, see regarding genocide

and it is necessary to take into account that there are two regimes regarding the recognition of whether any actions are by force or not the first is the political regime and these are various political statements or top politicians or parliaments and which do not have any specific criminal legal burden behind them. that is, these are most likely political statements of support and recognition of those facts what politicians or parliamentarians see in front of them and see what happened in buchach and many other cities of ukraine, this is a political aspect let's say it is a political and legal aspect, it is a narrowly legal aspect of genocide, this is genocide, this is a crime , a crime under national legislation, almost any - of any civilized country and international crime a-a for which punishment can be incurred in a number of tribunals, including the international criminal court in gaza, respectively, this crime and is it

possible to establish such a crime only after how will the sentence be passed on those persons who are guilty of such genocide and this is exactly what we are going to because again in ukraine and in relation to the events taking place in ukraine regarding the actions of the russian federation an investigation is being conducted by the international criminal court which, including, is authorized to prosecute for crimes, what is genocide , genocide is about actions aimed at the destruction of entire large groups of people based on a certain characteristic, it can be a characteristic of language, a characteristic of nationality, a religious characteristic, etc. accordingly, in relation to the actions of the russian federation, of course, everyone states, the same biden, now the canadian parliament, that they see signs of genocide, what we are talking about, first of all, we are talking about

mass murders, unmotivated killings of ukrainians by russian servicemen, the second thing we see is publications in state media the land, the speeches of the state land, which are directed specifically or which call for the destruction of the entire ukrainian people , and the politics of the russian federation are open, and so far they have not allowed themselves to call for the destruction of the entire ukrainian people. but they are already close to that in public statements about the fact that i don't know, the ukrainian people invented lenin at some stage that such a separate people does not exist , that this is all a gradual lead to the same genocide, but russia itself is acting on this is not limited, again, if we are talking about the destruction of people, for example, the destruction of ukrainians , a sign that can point to genocide can be the removal of children, this is already happening now,

a lot of children who were orphans were removed as during the event of the 14th year, when captured crimea was captured, and uh, during the events in donbas , and now, accordingly, the forced removal of children, the forced assimilation of people, as it is happening now, these are also signs that indicate that russia has set itself the goal of destruction of the ukrainian people that it is genocide, therefore, taking into account the development of events, i think that we will have not only political statements to the parliament that russia committed genocide, but also sentences, specific sentences for this crime. well, we can talk about specific cases from the usa stated reliable evidence that russians, e.e. russia lost ukrainians who tried to surrender in the donetsk region, this was stated by the us ambassador with a special mandate for global

criminal justice betvanshak at the un meeting, in fact, lanshak also said that the usa has reliable reports about the executed civilians with their hands tied about bodies with signs of torture sexual abuse testimony who should document such crimes in the first place we have quite a few options or options for documenting of such crimes, first of all, we are definitely talking about the law enforcement agencies of ukraine, the actual documentation of crimes, war crimes, and the crimes you mentioned on the territory of ukraine takes place through procedural actions, which are carried out by the security service of ukraine, the national police of ukraine, and often the state bureau of investigation, but the key story is by the security service of ukraine and the ministry of internal affairs under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office, further, as i mentioned, the investigation was started by the international criminal court, he also is already gathering evidence eh is gathering evidence for the time being

abroad but again, we expect that in the near future a law will be adopted as a basis for this, which will regulate cooperation between the international criminal court and the prosecutor of the international criminal court by ukrainian law enforcement agencies. what will allow him to actually carry out procedural actions on the territory of ukraine, moreover, the international criminal court, the prosecutor of the international control court, his subordinates joined the joint investigative team together with ukrainian colleagues, colleagues from poland, yes colleagues from latvia, respectively, because they do not carry out procedural actions, in addition, a number of countries, namely 13 countries, have opened criminal proceedings in their own territories, they can and do collect evidence of war crimes committed by the russian federation and actually citizens or military personnel of the russian federation, this is also possible because a lot of weight is played by the evidence collected with the help

of accompanying satellite data with the help of a-a various interceptions e-e electronic communication radio communication all this is in our western partners e and all this is also a-a sooner or later it will be late, but it will form the basis of the verdicts that will be handed down regarding the actions of the russians. well, if more parliaments will recognize the actions of russia in ukraine as genocide, what consequences could this potentially have for the highest political leadership of russia, so far the statements of the parliaments about the recognition of the actions of the russian federation or individuals as genocide are statements which are of a political communication diplomatic nature , however, do not have direct consequences in the sense that after this statement someone will go to prison, but it helps because if, for example, canada recognized the actions of the russian federation a or individuals

as genocide - this means that in fact canada should also no or will not let's say it will contribute to proving such facts also legally in court , namely through support for the activities of the international criminal court, which is already happening is actually political aspect, but having said that, the states that will say this, whether they want to or don’t want to, but don’t want to, as a rule, will say and do everything possible to prove stegenocide and obtain guilty verdicts against those accused of it in court with further imprisonment of such persons thank you very much discussed the decision to recognize russia's actions in ukraine as genocide by the canadian parliament with the minister of justice of ukraine denys molyusko thank you may 1 the russian occupiers want to transfer the captured kherson region to the ruble zone this

is reported by the propaganda publication ria novosti with reference to the so-called local authorities appointed by the russian occupiers in the kherson region, the transition period, according to the collaborators, will last up to four months, during which time it will be possible to pay in both hryvnias and rubles, then they intend to fully transfer the accounts to rubles, i will remind you that the other day the occupiers presented the so-called new heads of the administration and the mayor's office, they became volodymyr saldo and oleksandr kobets, meanwhile, the media reports that the kremlin changed the curator of the so-called dpr of the lpr, the first deputy head of the administration of the president of russia, serhiy kiriyenko, who is responsible for the work of the internal political bloc of the kremlin, became the so-called curator of relations with ldr groups instead of dmytro kozak. this is reported by the russian publication rbc, with reference to five sources close to the kremlin, now claims that rbc is

responsible for working with militants. the directorate of border cooperation is not subordinate to the cossacks, but the directorate of internal policy of russia notes that a new department is currently being created in russia, which will be responsible for interaction with the occupied territories of ukraine, it is possible that the kremlin is considering the scenario of the possible inclusion of the so -called republics into russia, rbc suggests, however, putin's spokesman dmytro piskov denied the report that kiriyenko became a new curator of the ordlo, according to him, no changes were made to the distribution of responsibilities. well, we will now discuss this decision with serhii harmash, a journalist , a representative of donetsk in the tgk in donbas. i greet you . good evening. we have information that the so -called curator of the ordlo has changed. in your opinion, what is the kremlin planning ? what to do with the occupied territories or

will they be annexed in the near future? well, i think that at least putin has a desire to annex these territories, but for this he must first take control of the entire territory in the administrative borders of the donetsk luhansk regions, that is, until they control the entire territory that is recorded as the territory of the so-called dpr of the lpr in their so-called constitutions, and they technically cannot hold a referendum there, and therefore, first there will be what we call the battle for donbas, yes, that is, establishing control over this territory in an attempt to establish control. i hope that control will not be established, but there will be an effort on their part, then they can hold such a referendum a-a i think they can hold referendums on in kherson region, it is possible even in kharkiv region on the captured territories, but there fortunately, they are not tied to these administrative borders of these

regions, that is, they can hold a referendum on the territories that they captured and now occupy, call it a chimera or a henner - and uh, well, to hold such a referendum in order to annex these territories after that. why annex , in my opinion, this just indicates that putin is not confident now in the strength of russia militarily and in this way he is trying to record the presence of russia in these territories a-a by the fact that russia calls them its own, that is, and putin hopes what will happen to crimea, yes, that is, in the donbas, we had a positional war for 8 years, and crimea, we did not touch crimea why, because this is the territory of russia according to russian legislation , that is, if we started fighting in crimea, it

would mean war with russia. by the way, putin spoke about this the other day at a meeting with the youth there. he said that the situation in the people's republic of china has deteriorated significantly over the past eight years, and he acknowledged this fact. by the way it is also interesting, but in crimea has a completely different situation, i think that now he hopes that there will be a completely different situation in these occupied and after that annexed territories. but i think that this hope is useless because the fact of war is already happening, we are already at war with the russian federation . i think that we will liberate our territory regardless of whether russia annexes them to itself, annexes them or not. for us, these are our territories and they will be liberated. well, but the calculation that putin has. by the way, i don’t think that he is among his entourage, but well i guess he is it is quite possible that he, let's say, does not control the situation completely, that is, he still lives,

well, partially in an imaginary world, that is, not everything is reported to him, i think. well, if returning to the kherson region, from may 1, the ruble is allegedly already being introduced there in your opinion, what are the general plans for this region? we talked with mr. danilov today about the fact that there is information that supposedly grain from the kherson region is being exported to russia. ukrainian products from the kherson region have already been seen in crimea, but in your opinion, this is simple. look, yesterday i watched the footage of the pro- ukrainian rally in kherson and i was interested in the fact that the occupation authorities reacted very mildly to the pro-ukrainian position of the protesters. that is , what does this say about the fact that they are interested in the loyalty of the local population and if they are interested in loyalty they hope to consolidate the local population there, that is, to really make it a part of russia. if they were not

interested in the loyalty of the population of buchi. yes, for example, chi gostomelya. but here they acted completely differently because there they understood that there was russia by the way. at first, they acted more delicately. then, when they realized that kyiv would not be reached. and they retreated. and they began to act like criminals, to do what they did, and that's why i think that they really have plans for kherson as for the annexed and in the future, and kherson, they need the kherson region, at least they need it in order to fix this land corridor to the crimea from russia, for that they also need the donbas, at least part of the donbas, and the south, so i think that in this territory they will try to - and so it would be say put a paw sorry for such a statement yes, but to record them under themselves and again

hope that ukraine will not fight with russia , that is, to declare war on russia, well, i say once again if they hold a referendum there and annex this territory then i think that kyiv will be forced to do this now, but it will be forced to declare a state of war with the russian federation, now i will remind you that we simply have a state of war, a state of war, we do not have it legally, but then we will have to do it and it will allow us to move the territory of russia, i.e. to transfer the theater of hostilities already on the territory of russia. thank you very much for your comment . serhiy garmash, journalist , representative of donetsk tgk in donbas, was with us. thank you very much. well, when do russians think the war with ukraine ends ? moscow, this is not a sociological survey, but let's listen to

it. well, that's already enough. it seems to me that putin has already finished . you know, the machine is more powerful, the weapon is more powerful, and just put an end to it. when we win, the cage can be. i think so. the left bank of the dnipro will be cleaned, then negotiations will begin . well, ours are very sorry for something. well, you know, i can’t say because i don’t want to be flooded with tactics, so that the story is very poor. because the situation is very complicated. i think that

this is how putin will hang on. when putin dies in five years, i think there will be violent clashes or some kind of ustakhov mood will continue for a very long time. it would be good for 79 may . well, i think that there is no war at all, it's all politics. these are the opinions of moscow residents about russia's war in ukraine. well, today the us house of representatives plans to vote on a bill on lend -lease for ukraine. the draft law was considered by the regulatory committee, the united states has already started supplying heavy weapons to ukraine, in addition to a batch of javelins, the day before, 155 mm howitzers destined for the armed forces were loaded at an air base in california, the day before, the press secretary of the pentagon, john kirby, reported that more than half of the 90 american howitzers from the packages of us military aid are already in ukraine today, the

president of the united states made an appeal in support of ukraine. over the last couple of months, russia began to carry out brutal attacks on ukraine, and we responded. supplies of weapons and ukraine in record time, and russian troops had to leave kyiv , this does not mean that they will not return, but for now they have left and we provide ammunition to ukraine, weapons or these artillery systems, we provided 10 to one ten against e-e tank systems on a to one russian tank we are helping them to defend themselves against the russian attack help is coming from allies and partners around the world and including

anti-tank weapons and many we have announced a large some of the new equipment and these weapons can be directly used on the battlefield, but in fact we have already exhausted these signaling powers that were approved by the draft law last month, that is, in fact, we have no money to continue this assistance i am sending the congress an additional request for appropriations so that there are no interruptions in our e-e aid , weapons aid, economic and humanitarian aid, these so -called additional appropriations are important for the critically necessary defense aid for ukraine alone

addendum to this additional request i am also sending to the congress a package of measures that would ensure that we have access to the assets of oligarchs obtained through criminal means, those who are cryptocrats, these are the bad guys, and this bill will give our law enforcement officers the opportunity to expand its powers and ee to confiscate these assets of these russian kleptocrats and ensure that these assets after their sale, the funds can be

directed to help ukraine, we are the largest steel plant in ukraine, arcelor metal resumed work in kryvyi rih, despite the fact that literally 60 km from the contact line a there are russian military and we can watch a report about the resumption of work at this plant, there was uncertainty about what this war was supposed to be like, which continues to this day, but it turned out to be larger, so we decided to shut down the blast furnaces and continued to operate our open mines at about 30% of their capacity. this was one of our first steps. for the first 30 days, we followed this plan with these elements. russian troops are standing 60 km from here, so we don't know what will happen today or tomorrow, and we hope that the ukrainian army will be able to push them

back, as it was until today. that's why we are comfortable in this situation for now. but of course we recognize the risks and must be realistic, you know, because the plant can be hit not only by ground troops but also by rocket fire and therefore we must be realistic that the risk is still a risk we decided to restart at least one blast furnace blast furnace number six there we produce cast iron in the meantime, we are trying to remove the products that are in stock, but of course we are using different routes before the world war, if the situation remains as it is, our goal is to reach a production level of almost 100% in may. as in june, to restore almost 100% of work in the mines 100% in june and about 50% of our

steel production is going to the work of the railways of ukraine seaports are not working now so we can not rely on them but we rely on the availability of railway routes of course if the railway tracks will be damaged in some way. we will also suffer because the plant is the largest metallurgical plant in ukraine, and in this specifics we have siren mining where the final production of steel is located, therefore for ukraine this plant is a very important park. the european union, following great

britain, canceled all quotas and duties on ukrainian export products for the time being, the cancellation will be for one year. the eu is the largest trading partner of ukraine. it is expected that exports to the eu will increase dramatically as a result of the cancellation of quotas, especially when sea ports of ukraine for export to asia and the near east are blocked due to the war, let's talk about it in more detail with our correspondent in brussels, zoryana stepanenko zoryana. hello, what exactly was adopted in the eu, and what are expected from this step of brussels? my congratulations, serhiy. well, as you said, the gesture of support is truly unprecedented, because the european union has never done anything like this for countries in a state of war. well, even more so for those who are not its members, i mean members of the european bloc , this exceptional step or help tell the ukrainian economy, which is already in a difficult situation. well, it will be in an even more difficult situation because the

ukrainian government predicts that by the end of this year gdp will fall by 50%, at least this figure was announced by the head of the ukrainian government, denys myhal. economy as a whole, the european union fully opens its market to them, not a reduction in customs duties, as provided for in the association agreement. and in general, zero import tariffs and no quotas , these benefits are received by ukrainian farmers manufacturers of iron and steel, and indeed of all agricultural and industrial goods, such bonuses will boost the economy and help ukraine to deepen its trade ties with the european union, which, as you mentioned to your colleague, is really the largest trading partner of ukraine and with the conditions that are now they will become even better well , accordingly, the ukrainian prime minister welcomed this decision, noting that kyiv is already negotiating with warsaw, bucharest, vilnius , and berlin, in particular, to use their ports for

of the export of ukrainian products, i would like to remind you that ukrainian ports have been blocked or seized, and precisely because of them, ukraine used to export up to five million tons of grain and other agricultural products every month, now ukraine has lost this export revenue, and for such a timely and necessary initiative, president volodymyr also thanked zelenskyi he said that it will help a lot to save ukrainian production now , it is trying to save it in the same way, and great britain also announced the cancellation customs and cavotna goods, including barley, honey , canned tomatoes, poultry and other key goods , namely these goods ukraine exported the most to great britain there, according to this ukrainian goods are the most popular well, in addition, britain banned the export of goods and technologies that russia could use to suppress the heroic people of ukraine - this is a quote, in particular

, it is about the equipment for interception and monitoring serhiu thank you live with us from brussels was the correspondent of radio svoboda zoryana stepanenko thank you well, that's all for today subscribe to the pages of radio svoboda on facebook , instagram, twitter and youtube, see you tomorrow, greetings, friends, i am in java, melnyk, the host of the espresso tv channel, in the morning of february 24, the russian nazis began their denazification of my city, the first enemy shells flew into our military town and military unit, and yaryny semenovych i love vorzeli 24 morning experience so when they started bombing the guest house
