9:00 pm
it is fighting against ukraine as part of akhmat's battalion. i think that this information is definitely already our military and i would really like him not to be killed. i would really like him to be arrested and brought to court, such a being should speak before this world and receive a fair punishment life imprisonment in some uncomfortable conditions. we hope that it will be so, and we believe again in our armed forces, in our special forces, in our intelligence, in our special operations forces, when the name is known and the monster has already been identified, it is not right to detain him to be simple but definitely easier because before that there were different readings is it this creature or that, oh well , i put a full stop on this now for your attention , a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news, we are watching together the meeting between zdogan and putin, the scandal surrounding the reporting of money laundering money in great britain about this let's talk today on etherius of ukraine in the studio olga melchevska, why
9:01 pm
did nastya indonechnoho say that the armed forces of ukraine put civilians at risk and how the world reacts to it, the meeting between udogan and putin is among the key topics the export of the ukrainian magazine ukraine and syria agreed upon by the president to turkey and russia and the money is friends of putin in britain, the investigation showed that thousands of company owners anonymously transferred funds with the help of english firms through loopholes left by the british government , the ambassador of great britain in ukraine reacted to the accusations of the ukrainian military with on the side of antonashchyna, but whose head office is in london, the only thing that threatens ukrainian civilians
9:02 pm
is russian missiles, weapons and looting of russian troops, full stop, if russia had stopped the invasion of ukraine, there would be no danger, this was not a quote written by linda simmons on her twitter on the eve of the disaster, she stated that the armed forces of ukraine put civilians at risk, the authority of an international human rights organization published a report in which it is said that the ukrainian military allegedly endangers civilians population, as if they are creating bases and placing their weapons in residential areas in order to repel the russian invasion, this statement infuriated the ukrainian military and the government in the office of the president of ukraine called the report strange, i quote, and it looks like a part of the russian disinformation and propaganda company, where is the truth and where is the disinformation, let's talk about it with my colleague zhanna bezpyachuk, she is on direct contact with us right now, zhanno eh tell me please, first of all, let's talk about this international - it is a fairly authoritative international human rights organization, what is known about how and who exactly compiled this report, how
9:03 pm
this data was collected, and could there be a failure at some stage? yes, congratulations olya, it is known that the preparation the ukrainian office of the local month of international in ukraine did not deal with this report or its dissemination, and they are now emphasizing this from the very beginning. they tried to influence their colleagues from the global central office in the city of international, but they failed to do so. the preparation of this document was directly engaged in the crisis response department of amnesty international is again the central apparatus of this large international human rights organization and they are responsible for the preparation of such reports they went to ukraine. and in the spring they investigated the issues that are considered in the report here on the spot, so they explained their work methodology, they interviewed witnesses in the mykolaiv, kharkiv, and donetsk
9:04 pm
regions, it was civilians who collected people 's testimonies, then analyzed satellite images according to their words, and the channels were also there and reached the essence of the report is available. if it is very, very easy to summarize, they believe that the fact that the ukrainian army is sometimes stationed at civilian infrastructure facilities, say in schools and these are schools, i will add this from myself as a journalist. according to my observations, mostly significant damage is sometimes simply detonated, and this is what the ukrainian army does, in principle, it turns these objects of civil infrastructure into a military target for the russian army and responds and objects are fired at, and as a result , civilians in ukraine suffer, get injured and die, this is the logic of this world.
9:05 pm
to understand that such human rights organizations instead of international use certain templates, that is, they have a uniform methodology that they apply in such cases, and in this case they also used it in relation to this particular war in ukraine, it is not obvious without adapting it to the list of these wars when there are aggressor and when there is a country that defends itself and does it on its territory when on the one hand there is this huge , large-scale aggression of the invasion of ukraine, and on the other hand, ukraine is conducting a defensive defensive war. please tell me what arguments are given by ukrainian high-ranking officials regarding the refutation of tpp presented in the report. well, they are actually talking about the fact that it is, in principle, a loss of adequacy, that is, the transfer of responsibility from the criminal to the victim. this is the first point. this is not a
9:06 pm
distinction between tactics. -e civilians are used as human shields and the russian army does this very often in ukraine there are hundreds if not thousands of documented confirmations of this and on the other hand there is actually a defensive defensive war self-defense, to which the ukrainian people and the ukrainian state have the full right, and this is actually what they are doing, moreover, there are also hundreds of proofs that the ukrainian army carries out any military actions within the administrative borders of populated areas, and if it does so, then it is necessary in order to avoid the occupation of these settlements, this is the first thing, and secondly, it is necessary in order to repulse the mass assault of the russian army, it is the russian army that purposefully destroys with the aim of further the capture of whole ukrainian cities, it is enough
9:07 pm
to cite the example of mykolaiv or kharkiv towns in kharkiv oblast by the same chuguyev, and this is the essence of this war, and if, again, as the ukrainian side insists, the ukrainian military did not resort to the self-defense that they carry out today , then is it just combat operations in the fields or in the forest strip? and this also has to be, they ended with the fact that entire ukrainian cities would be captured by the occupation army and there would be occupation administrations of russia, again, the methodology of which applied by amnesty international. it can be used within the framework of civil wars to analyze violations of laws, increases wars, and within the framework of local conflicts. and this is a large-scale war , and which russia does not hide, is actually waging on ukrainian territory, with a measure that
9:08 pm
it considers as a lot of money for yourself nato event thank you zhanna ot in short, please tell me how the organization actually reacted to the criticism from ukrainian high-ranking officials and the military ot we have seen the statements volodymyr zelenskyi and dmytro kuleb, and do they assume a mistake in the organization itself and some options for correction, and in the organization, the leadership of its global office insists that there were no mistakes, they are impartial and say that there is mass criticism of their world, both from ukrainian and on the russian side, these are trolls, that they are subject to attacks by trolls in the online space, and actually no statements that they will somehow take into account the current criticism, they will lead to work on possible mistakes on their part it was only possible to say that the spokeswoman of the ukrainian office of amnesty international, kateryna miteva
9:09 pm
, resigned from her position precisely as a sign of protest against this report. of this scandal, in fact, if you take out the political rhetoric in parentheses, then you can see the criticism of long experts, which is quite detailed about what is happening with us, in communication now with the director of the director of the analytical center nidzhea apolochixus network mykhailo samus mr. mykhailo good evening please tell me if you analyze the tactics of the ukrainian military that this report does not correspond to reality well, actually sveteleni did not like his superficiality so as not to say, but there is invoiced e-e data, specifically, what is a military base in general, what is this, what
9:10 pm
is this end, which actually does not exist at all in the armed forces of ukraine. especially since this report turns out to have been made or the study was made in the spring, why weren’t studies carried out precisely in those regions that were already freed from the russian occupiers and it would be possible to see in the kyiv chernihiv region what happened when the russian troops managed to knock out the ukrainian troops , and what happened in those territories, these are war crimes - rape, shootings. and everyone knows about irpin bucha. why, oh, these data were not taken into account in these studies, i don't know since it is clear to you. and please tell me,
9:11 pm
in your opinion, why they did not take them into account, what could have caused such discrepancies in such a serious and seemingly organization, well, again, there are different assessments of what happened, or it is not competence and inadequacy really or is it part of the planned russian paid informational and psychological operation i hope that it is still not competence, inadequacy, failure to take into account the peculiarities of the large-scale war that really happened for the first time since the end of the 20th century of the second world war and in fact it is possible. this organization was simply not ready for such a scale, for this very specifics. in addition, well, the statement that the ukrainian troops should be able to make sense in the conditions of urban ukraine, and ukraine , although it is possible in wikipedia, specialists of the international capacity have read that this an agricultural country. maybe they imagined that we have a couple of cities and wheat fields around, and this is exactly how this
9:12 pm
war will look in reality. we have huge urban agglomerations that stretch for hundreds and hundreds kilometers and i cannot imagine how to carry out defense under these conditions, how to organize defense or, in fact, how to operate the territorial defense, which consists, i will remind you, of the inhabitants of populated areas, that is, they proposed that the territorial defense of kyiv go somewhere in the field and wait there until they are being shot by russian helicopters, and at this time the russians will come to kyiv, rape everyone , shoot them, that is, complete inadequacy, in fact here, even from a military point of view, it is very difficult to assess, because it is really or completely incompetent incompetence or is it an informational and psychological operation? well, to be honest, even the reaction to the criticism surprised me. it turns out that zelenskyi reznikov, kuleba, is a troll. well, it seems to me that there is really
9:13 pm
inadequacy here. please tell me about the resonance around the statement . nastya international is not the first time that there has been dissatisfaction with the activities of an international organization after the attack of russia. previously, criticism was directed at the red cross, while international organizations take reputational risks quite seriously. in your opinion, is it possible to speak here about a certain system of meetings in the work of international organizations in ukraine , or is this rather an assumption, we are talking about some local case again? well, of course, we are generally observing a crisis of international relations, a crisis of international organizations, we can say that the organization of the united nations does not fulfill its function when the security council includes a country that is actually a terrorist, an aggressor country that can at the same time block global decisions that have an impact on the existence of our planet and a country that actually
9:14 pm
openly blackmails the planet by launching nuclear attacks , while at the same time it is in the un security council. that is, this is a generally inadequate situation. in fact, there is not a single international organization that can boast that, firstly, it is respected all over the world, and secondly, it has some effect and can somehow affect the development of the situation, and this is really a huge tragedy that can lead to not only geopolitical changes, but also to a catastrophe on a global scale. and one more question, if possible briefly, about the protection of the civilian population and vulnerability civilians during the war. we saw how soldiers took away civilians from donetsk region under fire. how do you assess the tactics of the ukrainian military in terms of the introduction of hostilities in populated areas? i think that in general it is difficult to assess this situation if you do not know what is happening, but it is obvious international was simply not interested in what
9:15 pm
happens when russia uses missiles that have an accuracy of approximately 500,000 m, that is, a normal deviation from the target, and because of this they hit, for example, shopping centers, they there are civilian objects near which there are absolutely no military personnel in these conditions , it is not necessary to talk only about er, in general, any fault or er , some incorrect tactics of the armed forces of ukraine. you can find uh, again, a military man comes home on vacation, does he put his family in danger or not, because putin can strike at this family too , or do gendarmes in paris who walk around with automatic weapons endanger you within the framework of anti-terrorist measures, it is possible that the civilian population is exposed because the range of the caliber is 2,500 km.
9:16 pm
it can reach paris, so here i think that the capacity of the international is simply that it is necessary to review your professional methods, which are completely outdated and do not correspond to the real situation. thank you very much, mr. mykhailo, for such a detailed review, in your opinion, it was the director of the research center of new jay poletik 711 wog mykhailo samus and let's get back to the situation today with us in touch again, my colleague zhanna bezpyachuk in particular it became known about new serious shelling of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant zhanno we saw the statement of energoatom that there is a risk of hydrogen leaks and sputtering of nuclear substances. please tell me what is known about this, if anything is known in more detail. about the fact that currently there is no threat of hydrogen leakage and sputtering of radioactive substances in the zaporizhzhya nuclear
9:17 pm
power plant area, again a continuation of the previous topic what can we talk about, what on the territory of this nuclear power plant, the russian military is deploying its equipment now, it is said that it has twice shelled the sites next to one of the reactors, the personnel of the nuclear power plant, those who remained in the occupied territory work at the power plant at the nuclear power plant, they remain there to support the operation of the nuclear power plant, but one of the reactors is known to be now turned off this is what we know as of this hour and well, it is also worth adding that this is precisely an object of civil infrastructure and this object is very important and in within the framework of a possible counteroffensive of the ukrainian army on zaporozhye, about 60% of the territory of this region is occupied by the ukrainian army, which is preparing for a counteroffensive in this region, and it can be assumed
9:18 pm
that the russian army is ahead of the curve and is now showing how dangerous it is to carry out any combat operations in general. -e on this territory in the zaporizhzhia region ulyam thank you very much jeanne you can read more about this in our live broadcast text on our website bbc.ua and we will return to other international events president of turkey regip erdogan flew to sochi for talks with russian president vladimir putin, the kremlin reported that the presidents discussed economic and military-technical cooperation, as well as the situation in syria and ukraine . full-scale it in ukraine, one of the main topics is also the export of grain from ukrainian ports, which became possible thanks to the signing of the istanbul agreement with the participation of the oun and turkey, according to the turkish tv channel trton
9:19 pm
was also supposed to talk about the grain agreement signed in istanbul, russia's full-scale war against ukraine, and planned to declare ankara's readiness and make its contribution to ending the war, the russian side planned to raise the issue of the situation around nagorno-karabakh, where clashes broke out between azerbaijan and armenia, a special bbc investigation on russian money laundering money in great britain during the period of tough talks and sanctions against russia, the investigation revealed that thousands of company owners were able to anonymously to move funds with the help of english firms through the secret code. in the legislation, among the owners of such companies are russian oligarchs from the closest circle of vladimir putin. however, english limited companies are not obliged to disclose their real owners. in 2017, the state government took measures due to money laundering, but with at that time, more than
9:20 pm
four and a half thousand such limited liability companies were created, although the ministers warned that such legal forms could abuse by criminals is a joint investigation by bbc news and the nkvd finance project there is no place for dirty money in the uk for years prime ministers have promised to destroy money laundering schemes we will open these nesting dolls of companies with russian owners to find their ultimate confidants but after digging into the topic we got the evidence that their promises do not work and this demonstrates the disturbing reality that what we are doing now is gaining a world reputation as a swamp with dirty money of thousands of new english firms which do not disclose their ultimate beneficiaries but successive governments cannot do anything about them
9:21 pm
if the ministers are warned in advance and they did not take action this is a terrible dereliction of duty we have evidence that even after the introduction of government control thousands of firms were created under the guise of english limited liability companies are englished and although some of them are completely legal, the founders of this matryoshka can hide their names, no one checks the owners of these structures, even if they indicate located in the very center of london, it is literally a minute's walk from here to the oxford service center of london, but according to the investigation of the us sonata, it is here that russian oligarchs who are under sanctions launder money, their representatives buy and sell works of art, and some of
9:22 pm
them are putin's long-time friends boris arkady rottenberg, putin's partners in judo, data from the investigation of the us snit show that an english company with limited liability called sinara campaign, which they secretly own , made 14 electronic transfers to the total the amount of $133,000. these funds went to the account of an art consultant who, according to the senate, made purchases for the rotenbergs, no information about the real owners of the campaign was indicated during registration, but no one checked our inquiries, the rotenbergs did not answer that people like rotenberg, who have been under american sanctions for years can still use british corporate structures to funnel their money through them and then spend it on whatever they want an exclusive investigation into the fun and the bbc revealed a successful a scheme of financial fraud under the guise of such
9:23 pm
companies and lps usually have a nominal director shareholders who essentially do not make any decisions their task is to hide the real owners from the public they are often based in so -called offshore harbors known for their secrecy so if you try to open this nesting doll this is what you will find inside the black hole these details we were able to find out thanks to leaked financial documents and thousands of company records i want you to just look at it here some of in order to excavate, we showed our findings to an expert in financial law. i would like the scale of the fraud to shock me, but not at all. i am simply depressed and disappointed. to be honest, we have been warning the government for years about the problems with the transparency of these structures, the ministers promised to carry out the reform in 2018, but since then no progress, in 2017
9:24 pm
it became known that scottish firms were involved in laundering billions of dollars from the former soviet union, the british government responded by forcing them to reveal their owners but english similar schemes have remained since then experts in the fight against money laundering have watched the creation of thousands of english limited companies and they still have the right not to name their real owners for abuse that it is difficult to think of a better way to withdraw money they are perfect for this you will pass more checks to get a library card from the local council than to set up a company that could potentially put millions of sterling functions on bank account anywhere in the world in 2018 after the money laundering scandals, the government itself became concerned about the scale of abuse by such
9:25 pm
firms, but the loophole is still open if ministers were warned in advance that ilps could be involved in money laundering and they did nothing, this is a terrible failure of their responsibilities, we found were created by several agencies for the formation of the company, one of them - ls express promoted and lp in order to avoid government restrictions and not to name the ultimate owners of the company with several quite controversial companies, one stood by the largest russian-language bitcoin exchange , which was closed after the us authorities accused it of money laundering, another allegedly ran a russian-language company with misinformation about vaccines, spreading statements that the astrozenika vaccine can turn recipients into our panzers, but there are people lns express this mass
9:26 pm
creator of first scottish and then english limited companies used an office above a restaurant in central london, look, there's a bartia burrito up there on the mountain but in fact there is a whole beehive from the production of hundreds if not thousands of companies, but you will never see how they do it, however, the name of only one of graham's companies is on the door, it is not surprising at all, i am not surprised and i know the addresses where 890-100 hundred thousand companies are registered, but but it's impossible, isn't it absolutely impossible? will it be possible to check whether it will be possible to speak with one of these companies? the call seems to have
9:27 pm
no answer. i don't get a response. there are 990 companies located here, but no one opens the door. we contacted the owner of els express. she refused interview but said that we have never participated in any commercial activity of our clients and only help them create companies forward mail and file documents we have never supported any kind of fraud or illegal activity according to government representatives in great britain or not the most powerful in the world anti-money laundering controls and the upcoming economic crime bill will strengthen registration requirements and improve transparency, it will ensure that the register only those who act within the law will remain in great britain, but so far there is nothing in the bill to prevent the owners of ilps from remaining unknown. this is extremely sad because this could have been prevented. experts in the fight against money
9:28 pm
laundering are convinced that there should be a special police force to check the real owners of the company - what legislative steps will be ineffective and new ones will grow like mushrooms after the rain, in fact, all we do is create a global reputation for ourselves as a swamp with dirty money until we have a truly reliable deterrent in the fight against money laundering, we are, to be honest, just rearranging the deckchairs on a sinking ship, and it just became known about some of the results of the negotiations in sochi . russian gas in rubles there are not many details yet, because journalists were not allowed in and there was no press conference after the meeting, and the vice prime minister of russia oleksandr novak informed journalists about this news. more about this trail on our website further and we will move on to the escalation in asia for the time being the second
