of the time about the most relevant events through the prism of war every day author's projects on espresso more than 150 days without a day off on the front line more than 30 units of captured enemy equipment frankivsk evgeny is getting closer to victory every day and every day he says i am not tired i am not tired of defending ukraine this is the espresso tv channel today we have an extraordinary interview he is a guest on the tv channel sir geoffrey nice, he has been a lawyer since 1971, worked at the

international tribunal for the former yugoslavia and was a prosecutor in the trial of sloboda nam milošević, the former president of serbia, a large part of his work is devoted to the cases of the permanent international criminal court in sudan, kenya, or the left. should help the london newspaper time times described sir geoffrey as one of the leading lawyers of his generation and today he is in our studio exclusively on espresso tv in fact in fact, for your time for all your efforts that

help ukraine and really you are not indifferent to the situation that is here, perhaps because you actively supported a public organization regarding a-a and now you are not presenting any official institution or organization right yes yes why not it will be so important to you here in ukraine. in fact, i am very interested and i am often asked such questions as to comment on the situation in ukraine, and that is why i actively share my experience and my knowledge, because we see that now it is one war - it is the biggest war since the second world war war, which reflects an extremely serious conflict. and that is why we all want to stop putin and do not

want him to repeat, in the event of success in ukraine, a military company in other territories of europe, that is, rest, you have done so much during the active phase of your career, but we we see that you are here in lviv, not in kyiv, planning to go to kyiv. this is your initiative. yes, i don't stop . i love my work. i really do. sometimes people mistakenly judge people by their age and what they need to do. it is important that i am here at such a historic moment. there are a lot of ukrainians. they talked about revenge as many people, but justice is possible

, depending on what you mean. by the word justice, because when we talk about the international soap essence, if we are talking about some historical processes, in particular the sky and the like, or when we talk about military tribunals for war crimes, especially after the second world war, and also in our case, court cases after the war in yugoslavia and we tried to find the right solutions and the right introduction of such processes, that's why when we say that justice itself is a whole process of research, because when we talk to the victims of this or that crime, they all hope for justice for justice, because when we

talk about other people about some leaders, for example, of this or that country, in fact, they demonstrate their leadership, especially when we talk about which is involved in the conflict, and it is very important that the correct emphasis is placed precisely on the accountability of the opponent of the one who caused violence we can also use the best practices of other countries so that ukraine has the right decisions and the right judicial processes. that is , we see that if we talk about war, we immediately see murders, mass murders of both civilians and military, but there are certain rules, the black code of conduct wars at the international level is approved what can you say about what military personnel can and cannot do if we

are talking about the international committee of the red cross which is clearly good to do what about civilians or with the military, and crimes against humanity were clearly defined as well as war crimes of the first and second world wars, all of them were clearly spelled out. and what exactly is included in the very concept of a war crime is such a status as such, and there was also a convention on genocide after the second world war of the world war, namely, which clearly indicated this type of e-e crime to potential criminal actions e-e usually they are included in the modern e-e criminal code and, accordingly, if the party waging war does not comply with this code, then it commits a war crime a crime, how can you bring a certain state

to responsibility, this is a proper meeting of the international study of justice and with the application of various treaties of the international convention on justice, but in reality it is very, very difficult to bring a state to responsibility in the case of sloboda, well , milashevich, how was it then, there were many such cases, so they did not talk about a specific state and the entire state as such a-a yes, in his case it was and was an individual case and the accusations were plural er-er there was no proof er question genocide, because when we talk about the issue of e to c here, genocide did not begin as some kind of crime, but actually as a sociological e has sociological roots and then it sprouted and became precisely

the sense that we see now, which was the reason for the multiple murders of the first world war e- it is also after the second world war, so when it is not possible to turn off the issue of genocide due to the regulation of conventional genocide, this is also a problem, because in fact now genocide is recognized as a war crime in many countries. and then what about people which have really violated international law, which international ones deal with such cases, for example, in our case, in the case of ukraine, of course we, if we are talking about your own courts, as well as the involvement of international criminal courts, which have

specific jurisdiction, how to properly deal with this or that crime, regardless of its the scale of the crime that was committed on the territory of ukraine, and we are also talking about the international court of justice, the international court from which the case actually came about the genocidal actions of russia against the ukrainian population er online listen information war is also easy and we see that a lot of data is online or in modern realities it is easier and to prove criminal or not of course we must have we must be completely realistic about gathering information in modern realities now it is much easier to do it than that it was

a long time ago and it is very important to collect and organize correctly, record this or that information and evidence, it can be a photo, and it can be something social, uh, from social networks, all this can be evidence. therefore, we have to move away from already outdated procedures and protocols and such cases are very slow, now the modern world is fast and what people perceive as sufficient evidence to prove guilt does not necessarily have to be data from lawyers or from someone else maybe we should also just ask people on the streets. what does this or that average person need in order to understand that this is how it is proved. therefore, all this must be taken into account in order to end this war as soon as possible, in particular referring to the

declaration of human rights, it is also zombies year it is very important to be objective, and we already spoke today during the program in the morning, it is very important to add one more point to what i have already said , also connecting it to the previous question, in 1995 there were different convoys. so the yugoslav tribunal at that time was 27 years 25 years investigated this exercise, and in the new york times there was an

article about it as early as 1995, that is, journalists - they covered it, they were and are a very important connecting link, in particular with regard to their investigative function, so they clearly monitor, we understand that most of the media try to support journalists instead of criticizing them, although there are also criticisms, and i also encountered many different manifestations of criticism, but really what was happening in yugoslavia at that time was clearly covered by the representatives of the snake, so the journalists disseminated very clearly and accurately information they wanted to go inside to see if there were any bad decisions that were made and whether the accused and the defense were behaving correctly, they rightly wanted and sought to clean up this system they wanted to find and get to the truth. it is really

very difficult to get to know this practice and for journalists in particular, and especially when the conflict drags on, the longer the conflict continues, the more relaxed the atmosphere becomes . your country, in particular, also for russia, and when we understand that all these moods of conflict will have much wider consequences, in particular in ukraine and for all other countries outside of ukraine, that is why the presence military journalists - this is very important for the detailing of all the a-a all the evidence in general those realities take place on the front lines from where the

bombs come from in particular and in residential areas they also have to follow how can you prove and bring someone to justice for just such crimes that is why it is very important in all media persons at different levels, it is important for them to demonstrate why the world should know the general picture. they should know what risks we are exposed to because of this conflict in particular, and this is what it is necessary to put an emphasis on the fact that journalists play and perform an extremely important role, such a fruitful action is definitely not easy. i want to share such a story, in particular, we are talking about the tribunal of

yugoslavia . another journalist told us i didn't know him recently. jesus is true. he said that the sources of the sources were all monitored, in particular, the sources of information were monitored by the country that was accused and of those people, in particular, were killed, and this is the truth only recently, when we talk about the responsibility and importance of the work of journalists, we see what the risks are. yes, we have to criticize politicians. after all, we all do

it . that we can achieve justice not only for military soldiers and generals, but also to bring vladimir putin to justice, so it all depends on the circumstances, we understand that there is a certain compromise to which the leadership of ukraine can lead we see that the world community supports ukraine , it shares the pain, but if there are certain comforts and discomforts, respectively, they already seek some kind of compromise with putin. therefore, it is now very important not to lend a hand or look for some common denominator with the aggressor, because such judicial processes depends

on the same thing. when the conflict ends , it will not be so important to judge putin. so, maybe someone will feel some satisfaction, those who suffered from such terrible actions under his leadership, but we understand that if we condemn him, all this can continue. we must ensure that the next person, his successor, acts preventively so that he does not resort to such actions, and we also understand the possibility, in particular, of a nuclear conflict, so it is important that the entire european world community stays together and you er, we understood that anything, any compromises will not end the conflict while the same person is on the post, and a similar

actual confirmation of my words was just the case in yugoslavia. we had to hand over which person guilty in custody, we understand that a person who has a didactic reliance on cooperation with the state of yugoslavia could also simply arrest that person and then hand him over to the main we understood the mechanism of how to bring the culprit to justice, in particular through sanctions, and we understand that it should be so powerful the courage of this community of the united community to stand

its ground if we draw parallels with the actual case with milosevic sloboda and the prospective court case with putin. what do you think could happen similar or in the end what to do to prevent certain actions now putin has extremely great power we must not we must not make the slightest mistake in order not to lead to genocide because now we can be direct and clearly say that we can prove everything but now is not the time maybe there will be a time when insiders will appear who will provide specific information and specific specific data that will confirm that he is simply mentally ill and also other documents that could prove that these

are genocidal acts. in fact, this is a very big lesson for assimilation because when we are dealing with court cases we have to maintain the maximum realism of what you can prove because sometimes it is worth stopping in the efforts to prove that this is genocide where uh what do you think how long can such a trial last the process after the end of the conflict is 5-10 years. how many structures in the world, for example , crimes or the destruction of non-military targets - this is a clear violation of the code. he knew about it, we see what happened in the first days of the war. putin knew what was happening, a person who saw such evidence

could clearly say, i see. you see, such actions are not military actions, they are crimes. he could have stopped his men, but he did not, he continued. therefore, now we clearly see that he acted deliberately, he did what he wanted . and he wanted to commit these crimes against the civilian population and that is why this is just a clear example of when a wonderful process should not be long . thank you and for our guys, who is a lawyer , has been practicing law since 1971, worked in the international tribunal for the former of yugoslavia and was a prosecutor in the nadsloboda process, a maloshevich former president of serbia . the times of london newspaper called geoffrey one of the leading lawyers of his generation. i am

andrijanitsky tv channel espresso. together we will defeat in one salvo more than 200 high-precision missiles with an official range of 80 km. this is the reality of donbas and today we will tell about the capabilities of the armed forces of ukraine to hit the bodies of the russian army, what systems were used for this in the first months of the invasion, how everything has changed now and why sometimes explodes everywhere it would seem that ukrainian rockets do not reach along the fields with sunflowers and the road, which after the summer rains turned into a donbas swamp, the realities are going after the jet systems of the storm

surge from the hurricane jet system and two storm surge systems ukrainian military will now fire at the positions of the russian troops in in the kharkiv region, the guest shot, we will take a position in the shelter of the district, this is already the final of the combat task, but everything begins long before the shooting in the forest, where the ukrainian artillery is safely hidden from

russian drones deliver ammunition to one point, further from this point we move these ammunition to the second point where the transport loading vehicle and the combat vehicle meet. there they are recharged and discharged to the third point in the waiting area, the so-called when a certain period of time passes, there are several hours, sometimes independence day from the conditions, they meet in the concentration area in the waiting area, where they wait for the next in the future, they even fire tasks, always from different firing positions surveillance is constantly carried out, just like with us , just like with them. if the operatives take from the side the target is quite important and we are the primary target, it can be said that everything is done as quickly and efficiently as possible. this is a specific system of volley fire. and in the soviet hurricane, but the chassis has already been updated - this is the

czech tatra, here is the control of the passenger car, the automatic transmission. well, the two big differences are the same as comparing a son and a grandfather , here and there. much better armored from the cockpit this is the most important thing as protection of the personnel we perform the task of defeating the manpower of high-manner chairs such as artillery further infantry tanks

we worked at a range of 30 km we know the results i am confident in my guys i am sure that we performed perfectly and the result is always the tasks that were set by our artillery, they were carried out, because we see many examples, and at the beginning of hostilities, at the present moment, it is the destruction of columns of military equipment and the impression is simply of the movement of certain types of weapons of military equipment both behind the front line and on the line of contact, therefore, in principle, we can say that the soviet artillery partially justifies itself. nevertheless, we must understand that the accuracy indicators that were in the soviet artillery

in those missile systems or fire that are in service, they are insufficient if classified by range, on february 24, ukraine had several long-range systems of various calibers to cover large areas hurricane and tornado 35.70 km, respectively for point targets, a pion howitzer is needed, a certain amount of modification, a tornado, an alder, and the most long-range weapon, a point-y missile tactical complex with a range of 120 km, barrel artillery fired within 25 km, a certain certain evolution took place, pushing the use of artillery and the evolution of the need for the o3, which we definitely need on in the first stage, what we had was enough . and at the moment, we already need such a more long-range activity, the weapons that will reach the control points that will be located in deep in the rear e-e you logistical support of airfields e jump airfields where

, in principle, the russian federation deploys its own aviation and uses it to strike at e-e the front line for the weapon has really increased the radius of destruction of the targets of the armed forces now in the caliber of 155 mm it is in an average of 30 km if there is an active reactivity projectiles further but they are not always supplied, probably high-precision excalibur projectiles are used, they give a range of 40 km the main system for strikes deep into the occupied territory up to 80 km himars it is known about the destruction of the air defense position in luhansk , ammunition depots in krystalnoi and snizhnoi only in the occupied donbas, more than a dozen strikes on the rear. the truth is that at the moment it is impossible to so quickly take and disperse all the e-e depots of ammunition and fuel and lubricants somewhere in the depths because it in fact, the system of logistic supply is being disrupted at the same time. such a process is already taking place. the enemy is drawing certain

conclusions from what is happening, and of course it can be primarily about dispersal large warehouses several times smaller than they are today in depth, i.e. for us, this is clearly an advantage because we thus allow us to gain time from avdiyivka directly to the border over 150 km from the outskirts of sloviansk to the milovo luhansk region over 180 km the same one and a half hundred kilometers from nikopol to henichesk on the administrative border of the annexed crimea from the ukrainian-controlled part of mykolaiv oblast to the airfield in novofedorivka near the city of saka, where an explosion occurred on august 9, more than 200 km away. now when we see explosions that occur at the greatest distances and at a greater depth than 85 km, and we cannot unequivocally state who hit them and what they were hit

by members of the main intelligence department or the command of the court of special operations, of course, the activities of such groups are not public, but this does not mean that such work is not carried out. therefore, we obviously know that such work there are quite active and quite effective versions of what caused the explosions in novofedorivka, many of which are the work of the ukrainian sso, as well as a drone strike with ukrainian- developed missiles or attack missiles from the heimers installation, which hit up to 300 km and which were not officially delivered to ukraine in russia, the ministry of defense explained the explosions as a violation of fire safety rules in ukraine, joked about smoking in unspecified places in the united states, diplomatically stated that they support kyiv's efforts to protect
