get to the plant despite the increase in shelling in kolomyia, after the inspection, the director of megatera-fael rossi stated that during the few hours spent at the station, the mission managed to obtain important information, but this is only the beginning of the work, he added, stating that the agency establishes the permanent presence of its observers at the station, according to the data of the ukrainian state company energoatom, currently there are 5 representatives of the mission left at the gas station, tell me where the mission is going mgt right now there she is at the station and not going anywhere she will stay there we will continue to be there with some of my experts and of course now we have my team there is a lot of work here to analyze in detail some of the technical aspects of what we saw ukrainian employees i was with them during the day of course they are in a difficult situation but they have an incredible level of professionalism and i can see that they are calm and continue to work russian

military is committing a war crime of mass export ukrainians to russia is stated in the new report of the international organization human race watch. on more than 70 pages, researchers document the forced departure of ukrainians to russia, which according to the authors of the report is a serious violation of the laws of war and can be a crime against humanity, my colleague natalka churikova spoke with rachel dembera, the deputy director of human race watch for european and central asian countries, about what new human rights defenders have learned and how they will use the results of the report, see below what people from what we talked about that they had no choice they had to get on this bus because they were told that if they stay it will be much worse you will not survive or sometimes they do nothing at all did not speak. in some cases they did not tell people where they were being taken. in other cases, the russian military gathered people from the streets from shelters. sometimes

they searched houses, gathered people and put them on buses to the so-called dpr and then on to the russian border. with whom did we communicate, who passed through the filtering and felt that they were under duress, some people felt like hostages, others said that they felt as if they were being accused of a crime, it is obvious that it was a very brutal process that did not have any of the legal framework, on the one hand, the russian authorities have the right to establish the process of how many people voluntarily go to russia, there are no questions about this, but even if they establish a verification process for security reasons for people who voluntarily go to russia, there are certain limits that they must adhere to, as well as the type of questions what they ask ukrainians in the screening process they ask their opinion about the war about the army about putin why why there is no real justification

no reason other than to intimidate people they they took people's phones and copied everything they could from there, we do not know how this video data is then used, in our report we documented only one case of forced transfer of children, it was about the transfer of 17 children who were in an institution in mariupol, this children's institution had a plan as to take these children out of mariupol, but some dnr intercepted them and took the children to the dpr, and all this also falls under the definition of forced displacement, i hope that everyone who is interested in justice will use our report as evidence of a crime of forced displacement, we have documented forced displacements, they are a war crime and can potentially be a crime against humanity. these are the data from the deputy director of chimeneration

watch, rachel denver. you can read more about this topic and why human rights activists do not agree with the un data about ukrainian refugees in russia on the voice of america website at the beginning of the russian invasion on february 24, the scale of human rights violations faced by ukrainians has increased significantly. of human rights two months ago, dmytro labinets was appointed to this position after the release of his predecessor, lyudmila denisova, on negotiations with russia regarding the exchange of prisoners of war, operations to rescue deported ukrainian children, and many other things, the ombudsman said in an interview to my colleague irina solomko, i congratulate you, mr. dmytro, for two months how are we in the position of everyone in the verkhovna rada on human rights? please tell us what goals you set for yourself first of all. when you got this position, taking into account the fact that you got it during the war, i set several strategic tasks for myself: to increase the level of trust in

this institution among the citizens of ukraine, the second is to increase the toolkit for receiving assistance from international partners, one of the key blocks of international activity, and definitely the third is to form a structure a team that is able to protect the rights of ukrainian citizens in absolutely all areas, i will emphasize the regional presence, it is clear that the war leaves its mark , including on us, we have a separate the direction is prisoners of war, free prisoners, protection of their family members, this is a rather difficult direction, an emotional direction, and every day i meet with relatives who are either in

captivity or, unfortunately, died due to russian aggression, it is clear that these are new challenges with internally displaced persons in which millions of e- such a terrible figure as 8 1/2 million citizens of ukraine is the internal movement of persons within our state; in addition, more than 5 million citizens of ukraine have left the borders of our state, it is clear that these are huge challenges both for us and for the countries that help us in the first place, these are the countries of the european union, but their rights must continue to be protected where they were not. that is, for today, it is more related to the war or not. the hotline is working, it is also going through a stage of reorganization, as an example, we had three people working on the hotline, now 6 are working, and i want to create

a hotline where at least 10 people will work, we are watching the more we attract to of the work of our employees. the more we have , the more times it goes from the top. at the moment, we have approximately the number of applications - this is a week. we will receive more than a thousand, it is through the hotline phone. in addition, we have the option to submit your application online. does the public reception center work in the context of these figures, that is, thousands of appeals, the majority of them are still related to the war, yes, the majority of appeals are directly related to armed aggression, the majority of them are protection of rights regarding damaged property or leaving property in the temporarily occupied territory is a huge spectrum, yes, military prisoners,

civilian prisoners, there are cases of appeals regarding the commission of crimes by servicemen of the russian federation, including those of a sexual nature, there are no figures, however, how many people are currently in the ukrainian military, are in captivity, but there is, for example, max butkevich and our colleague , a journalist and human rights defender, and again, his relatives say that there is no communication at all with the russian side, that is, no one calls the red cross does not have access, the un does not have access , that is, the people there are basically without any protection to say how do we communicate and how difficult is it, the only thing i can say is that it is definitely not easy, but as you can see, the exchanges are so difficult, yes, not such a large number, if we wanted to, but they go, and each side of the conflict must provide access for monitoring to the

international committee of the red cross, provide access to places of detention, show how they are fed there, provide them with water, provide medical care service they provide the opportunity at least once a month to correspond with relatives, they even provide the opportunity to make a phone call there, they allow it mandatory if a legal process of lawyers has begun, and they inform in a mandatory manner if servicemen are transferred from one place of detention to another, but according to all the facts that i just called them that way. the russian federation does not perform them at all. the international committee of the red cross notes that they are not allowed and all of them are

allowed. the ukrainian side does not allow them. the russian side does not allow them. the situation with us, the organization of the united nations , in general, we have the most questions about the activities of the un. it is clear that they, too, may be looking for some additional mechanisms. when, for example, i receive information about the creation of an additional mission that will help the citizens of ukraine, at the moment it only causes me e- s- a skeptical smile, because we already have four places, four permanent active monitoring missions of the un in ukraine , monitors, a new mission regarding the collection of evidence of war crimes on the territory of ukraine, which was created on the basis of the decision of the general assembly in april the third mission is about the events in volyn and the fourth is about the situation of the

zaporizhzhia nuclear power station. e mission and the investigation of these events, the results of which resulted in the death of dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war from azov, who in principle were under the guarantee of the same red cross that we have already mentioned should have been transferred to the ukrainian side for exchange and that is, what are your prospects, yes, that is, the evaluation of the prospects for the work of this mission , there are no special expectations, i will say frankly, because time is passing, evidence of a war crime for the federation, eh, we have no doubts about what happened there, based on the analysis of photo and video materials that are in public access, eh, and ukrainian and international military experts

came to approximately the same conclusion that it was planned in advance, in fact, a public casino of servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine, namely the unit of the azov national guard, the disruption was there was no rocket inside, because firstly, the arrival of the rocket is very easy to check on the satellite, secondly, the rocket leaves the funnel and breaks apart the room inside with fragments, and here a projectile that gives off a very high temperature, because the bodies of we saw they were charred. that is, it is under the influence of very high temperature, as far as i know at the moment, the international committee of the red cross, despite the statement of the russian

federation that we are ready to provide access, we did not get access to the reindeer herd, the same situation on the mission of the un. it will probably happen after they remove all the interrogations of war crimes. but at the moment, this is not happening. the situation with ukrainians deported from the occupied territories is there. there are children who have already been established . we have the opportunity to receive general and specific information on individuals, including children who were illegally deported to the territory of the russian federation, we are working on it, even a separate online platform children of war according to our data, more than 7,000 ukrainian children were illegally taken to the territory of the russian federation. the russians are doing

everything to prevent our children from returning to us. they even simplified their legislation to make it as easy as possible for the citizens of the russian federation to adopt ukrainian children . we also record this, this is also a violation of international law and these are vivid examples of the fact that the russian federation is committing the genocide of the ukrainian nation, that is, the displacement of one group of one nationality with one in the other is forced, this is a direct definition of genocide, and we are working with this case. we have experience in returning children to date. we have returned 51 children, this is not a large number compared to more than 7,000, but believe me, for each child, it is practically a special operation, how we return them we return through whom, how do we

make documents, how do volunteers help us, and not only when, after all, we can see these first i don’t know meetings and the international court of justice or, for example, if we are talking about this so-called international jurisdiction when other countries can file a case against russia in the same way in this context. what is your prediction, we appoint every serviceman of the russian federation , that is why we appoint commanders who give such orders automatically, we appoint the top management, we legally do everything to condemn their actions and then make it this is an international criminal court, we are helped by judges of the international criminal court , mr. khan, he came twice, as far as i know, he came to ukraine twice, he has a very good working relationship with the office they are just making the prosecutor general a

procedural leader and accumulating all this evidence. believe me, in this sense, there will be many unpleasant surprises for the russian federation. such was the interview with the ukrainian mambudsman dmytro nopinets. we are continuing our graduation this year. thousands of ukrainian schools are destroyed or damaged. and only less than 60% of them are suitable for resuming studies within their walls , this is stated in the message of unicef on the occasion of the beginning of the new academic year in ukraine this year parents could choose the format of education, online mixed or face-to-face, the last two are possible only in areas that do not border the front, another mandatory condition is the presence of a bomb shelter in the school, how many schools are ready to meet students in person, lesya bakovets learned six months of war from missile strikes of the russian army in ukraine damaged more than two thousand educational institutions but school did start on the first of september for students. good luck with the holiday-free line. the

teacher's name is iryna mykhailivna olena . she is 9 and a half years old from kyiv. she loves music lessons. drawing and in english and knows when to hide in bomb shelters when olenka's mother yuliya calls siren says the girl really wanted to study in the classroom, that's why they found a school where there is a reliable bomb shelter yuliya's husband was seriously wounded at the front and has been in the kyiv hospital for a month and a half olenka is at school, yulia can be with him , we have a bomb shelter, she is a small school , there are only two classes a and b, and my mother, with whom we now live in the center, lives next to the school, and in principle, my mother and i have been living here since april nearby and therefore it will be convenient for me to bring the child to life, as if in training there, repairs have been made there, it is

big there, the walls are very thick there, now everything for the children has been painted, new plumbing has been installed, the girl has an alarming bag like this, the police advises to collect for all children who will study in schools this year personally, we have a urdochka, yes, let's get him some water. grandma threw her some goodies. maybe she will be there with friends to share. yes, such a bey is still signed, uh, it should be written there. full-time education a school has the right only if there is a shelter at the beginning of july all educational institutions in ukraine had to pass a security audit ready for the full-time school year less than half of the schools were ready readiness of 41% of schools was confirmed from the point of view of the availability of elementary shelters the availability and ability of teachers to ensure the safety of children

who will study in these educational institutions, the location of the school in the front-line cities is also an important factor, education will only be online where the situation is calmer, they decide for each object separately well for example, if the school is located on the outskirts of a large city where there are no industrial or military facilities, then this is one thing, but when there is an object near the school, far from it, which can become a potential target for varoshist missiles, then this is a completely different situation in kyiv, there are no shelters , 22 schools, the rest offer a full-time or mixed format of education, they charge us for desks and physically in 95% of schools there are children, but it will not be the number of children that was before the war, not every map and not every

class will be filled, how many children personally whether the school will be able to accept it depends on the size of the shelter , for example, in one of the educational institutions of irpen, there are schoolchildren studying, and the shelter can accommodate only 300. therefore, the question is now being resolved, how will we work in which system, and most of the children - these are the older children - will be remotely, so far we are face-to-face we will try the form of education for the elementary grades, e.e., in the mixed mode. maybe in two shifts. maybe in three shifts. the younger son of oksana from kyiv is offered to study . they can attend school remotely for a week, but the final choice of face-to-face training online mixed extracurricular remains with the parents. oksana says that there are many questions about each of the options

. the doorstep of the house since the children study in different educational institutions if i take one baby away the other and where on their own at this time if the air alarm i don't know how he will react where should he run well hmm either he needs to run back or he needs to run quickly to school or to the nearby house where he is sheltering. in general, according to the survey of the educational ombudsman, more than 60% of parents in ukraine have chosen distance learning for their children, and almost 20% still have not decided because they think it is safe the situation may change lesya mykhaylets oleksiy aspen voice of america and our next story from bulgaria as of the end of august, more than 130,000 displaced persons from ukraine received the status of temporary protection in this country more than 85,000 still remain there, many of them work, as told by the voice of america in the embassy of ukraine in sofia, ukrainians are present in almost all

spheres from hotels and restaurants video it according to bulgarian experts, does ukrainian labor have a positive effect on the country's economy? tetyana vorozhko and svitlana koval visited bulgaria, where they investigated this issue, see more in their report. in 2014, she left donetsk, where, in particular, they worked in the donbas arena, first to odesa, then to kharkiv, and in 2017 to kyiv at the time when in in february, russia launched a full-scale offensive against ukraine. and the man who remained in the country already had a four-year-old son. all day on february 24, i cried

. you answer yourself and it was scary because we never returned to donetsk actually, well, there was a feeling that we might have to move again, but at this time, it was probably just then that it was scary for me that this was happening all over the country. alyona and her girlfriend and children left through odesa from the beginning to moldova and then to romania for the first time in a week, a woman found a job only at the novayan studio in the bulgarian capital of sofia, at the film studio i was hired in the department, also

in the pr department of social networks. film companies here are annually involved in the production of about 40-45 km, producing hundreds of commercials, sports and music videos. alyona is one of 25 ukrainians employed at studios, the film studio at its own expense provided ukrainians with transport, meals and, at the initial stage, free housing, some people who worked specifically in the industry quickly advanced and got directly to the set, while from others we managed to bring them here, give them housing, provide them with food and then slowly integrate them into the work process according to the office of the united nations high commissioner for refugees, among ukrainian refugees abroad, 77% have a technical or university education in bulgaria there are bureaucratic obstacles to the employment

of ukrainians director of the institute of regional international studies in sofia sociologist ognyan minchev says the work of ukrainian women is beneficial to the bulgarian economy bulgary label the general picture of the bulgarian labor market is bleak because over the past three decades between two and two and a half million bulgarians have emigrated from the country, mostly youth, enterprising people, there is a certain shortage, a painful shortage of labor on the bulgarian market and in some sectors of the ukrainian economy, these tips are welcome, for example, in tourism in certain departments of the administration in the service sector and so on known in bulgaria activist and philanthropist sasha bezuhanova joined several leading projects to help ukrainian refugees the woman often meets with ukrainian women and is impressed by their professional skills and character definite a-a diss kambi definitely this will be a great advantage if these people will decide to stay in

bulgaria for a longer period of time, of course, from the bottom of my heart i wish them to return and support the ukrainian reconstruction and economy, because it will be very it is necessary, but until then, of course, a ukrainian refugee, ukrainian friends can join the bulgarian economy, this is a very powerful and qualified group of people, as well as people with character, i see women who know who they are and what they want from it, it is very impressive. bulgarian employers, public organizations and the state contribute to attracting ukrainian women on the labor market, for example, they organize job fairs, the american chamber of commerce contacted us, the american embassy said hi, we would like to take part in this initiative and we started run job fairs so it started as a spark in the industry but then it got bigger and bigger
