what statements were made? we heard from the delegates how unanimous the position is regarding ukraine. natalya , the majority of countries, that is, the vast majority of countries, of course, once again expressed their support for ukraine, condemned russia's aggression against ukraine, and talked about a diplomatic way to resolve the conflict. it is also very important that among among the speakers was the prosecutor of the international criminal court, in addition to khan, who, in fact, even anticipating such provocative statements by the minister of foreign affairs russia sergey lavrova, who also participated in the meeting and who said that allegedly bucha and borodyanka are imitations, except for kerin khan at the very beginning. he said that his prosecutors have been working a lot in ukraine since may. they are trying to see, that is, to show an objective picture in order for the world community there were no questions about the credibility of these conclusions to then transfer these data according to the court and he

also said that they have enough in the group in january that the crimes that we saw in ukraine these were war crimes by russia, so all the questions in the context of insinuation or provocation of the buti-warty woman, he simply removed this question, besides, of course , the speech of the secretary of state of the united states anthony blinkin, which was very emotional, was very emotional. he talked a lot about the actions of russia and he spoke about the fact that putin, instead of looking for a diplomatic way out of the situation , still continues the escalation of this conflict and that is why it is his choice and he is responsible for it instead of changing course president putin redoubled his efforts, decided not to end the war, but to expand it, not to withdraw the troops, but to call in an additional 300,000 additional troops, not to ease the tension, but to increase its escalation by threatening with nuclear weapons, not to work towards a

diplomatic solution, but to make such a solution impossible, by trying to annex even more ukrainian territories through fictitious referendums iryna, an international lawyer, notes that the un international court of justice can prosecute only a limited number of people consider a small number of cases in ukraine , we are talking about tens of thousands of war crimes, what other tools were proposed today to bring russia to justice no, first answer the question i would like to quote, i would like to explain that for the international community , in general, the question of russia's responsibility does not arise because i, according to according to the un charter and the aggressor, he is a priori responsible for all crimes that occur on the territory of this aggression, respectively, where we see this aggression. this is very good explain the permanent representative of ukraine to the undp serhiy kosetskyi and now you can hear it

, in particular, the general assembly has already adopted a whole series of documents long before the aggression of the russian federation against ukraine, according to which any aggressor is in principle guilty in that he must cover all the costs of reparations and for the damage caused. the question is what is the practical course of formalizing these things that have existed for decades in international law, international humanitarian law, and also the decisions of the general assembly and in in this context, i would also like to say that the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba , speaking at the meeting, actually said that russia's responsibility is a key element of world security, so all countries should be interested in making it happen.

there is no peace without justice, that is why ukraine is now trying to use all possible ways to bring russia to justice, and returning to that question, one of such tools is the creation of a special tribunal and because, unfortunately, as you pointed out, the international criminal court cannot consider crimes against crimes of aggression, it can consider, for example, personally against putin , it can consider these cases, therefore it is very fundamental for the ukrainian side of this tribunal and over this now ukrainian high-ranking officials are actively working and, accordingly, also on the sidelines of the general assembly, now you can hear an explanation about this minister of foreign affairs, kuleby tebestvy tupivent, the best way to prevent more russian atrocities in ukraine this is to provide ukraine with all the necessary weapons that will allow us to liberate our territories and save people's lives from murders, tortures, rapes and other crimes that the russian army is committing on

ukrainian territory. the best thing to do with impunity for these crimes, which have already been discovered, in particular, in the recently de-occupied kharkiv region, is to do all so that the international criminal court has all the opportunities to investigate those who have committed crimes against humanity, war crimes, crimes of genocide and also to create a special tribunal who will judge russia for crimes of aggression. unfortunately , due to legal reasons, the international criminal court cannot do this, but the crime of aggression should not go unpunished. iryna, can the national courts of other countries help ukraine to bring russia to justice ? in the summer , 24,000 war crimes were recorded that had already been committed, and according to the estimates of human rights defenders, every day we have plus 200 crimes and 150-200 war crimes that continue to be recorded .

a huge array of information that needs to be documented that needs to be checked, so of course for national, that is, ukrainian law enforcement officers, the help of their colleagues from other countries is very important, and international laws allow this , especially if, for example, there were some crimes related to citizens of other countries, that is, the courts of these countries can to initiate cases and to initiate judicial proceedings of these cases, therefore, ukrainian high-ranking officials are also international, that is, they hope that other courts and the courts of others countries will be actively involved in this process of bringing russia to justice. thank you to iryna for the detailed information with us in direct contact with the un headquarters. these days iryna solomko was with the us advocacy mission, relatives of the defenders of azovstal and ukrainian military personnel who managed to return from captivity, ostap yarosh, yes, kostyantyn golovchik spoke exclusively with them almost

immediately after it became known about the new exchange about what the relatives felt at this moment and what they are going to do next, see in our story kateryna prokopenko just found out about the exchange of defenders of australia, the news spread and in washington and the usa she, together with other relatives of the ukrainian military, came with an advocacy mission to raise the issue of the release of prisoners of war at all possible levels. the mariupol garrison also managed to return he dialed me for three seconds and said katya, i'm alive, everything is fine, we'll call again by voice, everything seems to be fine, but i saw how he looks now at the briefing and i just, well, one emotion, of course, that i'm glad that he's alive. but that's the picture that i'm used to seeing in life,

what he was like on the outside, and you, what does he look like now? i'm just afraid to imagine what's wrong with him there they did and in general what happened next i, well, i don’t know what to say , kateryna knows what she will do immediately after seeing her husband, hug, kiss and just keep quiet, hug and that’s it, i don’t need to somehow force him to talk to me, it’s just a warmth that he didn’t feel all we haven't seen you for six months in february, and the last time they spoke was in may . well, at least i'll see him soon, i'm ready to fly at least on the first flight. even today, just tell me where he is and all five commanders of the mariupol garrison are currently in turkey under the security guarantees of president erdogan as

noted volodymyr zelenskyi, they will remain there until the end of the war. such were the terms of the exchange. another 200 azosteli defenders returned to ukraine, among them ilya samoilenko, whose mother also came to the usa on an advocacy mission. the feelings are amazing. convey not describe, i guess i had similar feelings when ilya called me for the first time after the injury, when he himself pulled out the tube with which he was placed for breathing and spoke to me in a slightly different voice, and i could not believe that it was him, and then i was happy i cried and laughed just like today and women say that besides joy they are filled with other emotions, and i am happy in a feminine way that i will see my husband, but all the same, i feel very sorry for other women who will not see their husbands. today i feel it too, i feel pain how difficult it is for them too, how difficult it is for them, i understand that

they now feel a certain injustice , a lot of our people are still there and will we have such trump cards in order to change them in the future, as has now happened according to the relatives of the defenders of azosteli in russian captivity, they remain there are more than a thousand soldiers of the mariupol garrison, among those it was not possible to return yulia fedusyuk's husband arseniy about their conditions of stay. they are very thin, they look worse than they looked at zastaliya, where the conditions were actually terrible , we understand that they are being tortured there, that they are interrogated with violence, this is what the guys who came back that day are saying, besides joy, i would also like to talk about what we have to fight for of those who

remained because we really don't know where they are, including i don't know where my husband is because i don't have him, and our goal is still not fully achieved except for the relatives of the ukrainian military from the advocacy missions to the usa arrived and those defenders of azosteli who managed to return home even earlier, they confirm that they were treated terribly in polonia, it was quite difficult because we did not understand what would happen to us even further, we did not understand what would happen the next day. that is, we were just waiting for what we didn't understand whether we would be shot or there would be soup over us or we would be exchanged there was a complete information vacuum we didn't understand we were waiting and this waiting was the most difficult russia is not behaving the way a civilized country should behave in to some civilized conflict and to return then after those conditions, after the conditions of the war waged by

russia, to return to the territory controlled by us of course, you understand this return to civilization only in kyiv we have already received proper medical care eh we have received generally normal conditions of existence a- and hmm, this does not apply to russia, and the russian side of the conflict also men say it is important to make sure that those who are still in captivity receive proper conditions and medical care. we are trying with all our might to prove to the senator to prove to the representatives and political elite of the civilized world that ukraine is primarily fighting for civilization as a whole for the entire civilized world, that is why we are asking and demanding that the enemy side fulfills international conventions regarding prisoners of war and not only because it violates everything that can be violated in the 21st century, this is not the norm, and the delegation also spoke with representatives of the red cross. vladyslav laivoronok hopes that this

meeting will influence the actions of the organization so that it takes under our own control, compliance with the proper conditions for prisoners of war, our goal is, if it didn't sound so strange, this is to say that we praise christ so that they feel the strength in themselves, feel the strength as the largest international humanitarian organization, the relatives-defenders of azov steli and the ukrainian military are convinced that all prisoners of war will be returned the congress and the us administration can play, they can put pressure on russia, make sanctions stronger, influence by pressure , pressure only in this way, that is, try to pledge russia should allow the red cross to reach those who know where our captives are located. i know that the united states has a great influence on russia and in the congress, in rehabilitation, this issue of the return of prisoners of war should always be on the political agenda, in any negotiations, in any er agreements

, constantly return fighters, this is a priority because the values ​​of the value of human life in the 21st century must be on the agenda at the most important level, otherwise there is no way, despite the fact that it was possible to return the commanders and a significant part of the prisoners of war the relatives of the defenders of azovstal say that they will continue the fight until they all return home, many of our people remain in captivity and of course we must continue to fight for them and try to find some reasons that will allow us to take them all i wrote today - it became clear that all propaganda narratives about what the azov regiment cannot be changed, that this is such a very important moment for russian propaganda, all this is not true and in fact it can be exchanged, i would like that in any negotiations and agreements with russia. and we understand that they are and will be economic, any of them, so that the first point would be

our prisoners of war without an exchange of prisoners of war. the capital of the country, sofia, will host an exhibition of paintings by the ukrainian artist of bulgarian origin yona tokuser . trying to convey what a hungry person feels in her paintings and scientific articles, the artist's workshop, who left for the capital of bulgaria with the beginning of the war, visited tatiana, a fortune teller, dad, a parcel, a parcel, i bought graphite, i am

experimenting with it for the first time this is a picture painted with graphite i mix graphite with oil paint, do you know this graphite from ukraine, the zavaliv graphite plant, the artist yana tokuserr was born in the village of glavani in odesa, populated mainly by ethnic bulgarians, graduated from the faculty of painting ishmael university and then the national academy of arts in sofia, bulgaria. during my student years, i began to study the subject of hunger . i began to study. i began to study the archives, shoot a documentary film, travel around ukrainian villages , interview people. all these collected stories are the subjects in my paintings. i worked with archives . stories. i have a very rich archive of scary stories. people who survived the second world war told me what is scarier: war or hunger. everyone said that hunger is much scarier than during the war, the young woman lived and worked in paris, new york , rome and london. but before the russian full-scale invasion, they returned to their native

village last year when i decided to return to the law . last year when i decided to return to end the series with hunger . summer , i renovated my studio, i made a big studio, and now all my paintings, all my things, everything is in ukraine, sofia , i returned to sofia, i returned with my brother's wife and my nephews, as a refugee, i am alone with a small bag with one small bag of warm things, my nephew, my nephew, a boy, he is 10 years old, a girl is 16, everyone had one bag with things, we came to sofia because we found through a website that ukrainian refugees are provided with housing for free, they present housing, a bulgarian family, for free , a bulgarian family rented out an apartment for free, we we arrived at met at the bus station and were taken to this apartment in which no one lived in this woman

's mother's house a year since she died no one lived there the refrigerator was full of products everything was filled with stocks of food we were told come in live as long as you need until the war is over and here is behind here is the picture on which i am currently working is very similar to the picture 46-47 after the war, only it is from 2022 a story from the besieged mariupol about a boy who is 6 years old and his name is ilya his mother died when the mariupoli bridge exploded on february 26. his father went out to look for his mother and did not return. because people were shot, the boy stayed with his neighbors for three weeks. he was in a bomb shelter . he told this story to the ukrainian media, and i heard it

told. the story about which he writes the picture, as well as the psychological, physiological and social consequences of hunger, and also tries to convey in his art the inner feelings of hunger of a person, they say, they tell. people who survived the famine tell what the starving looked like, and most often they looked like wax, like a candle, the body was filled with little blood, it was cold because bodies in my paintings are like wax and candles, yellow , green, white, for me it is important for me to convey not the form, the realistic form, what a person looks like, but the feeling of a person, the inner essence of a person the feeling of a starving picture. this is my next picture. it is also a real story found in ukraine during the famine. they ate leather boots. they baked them and then they ate. my next picture will be a still life with boots

on the table instead of bread and potatoes. edible boots . talked about the genocide of the ukrainian people from which her ethnic bulgarians in the south of the country suffered. i am a bulgarian, i am a bulgarian born in ukraine . with this topic, that is, through me, i was able to convey the tragedies of the ukrainian people to the bulgarian people, what atrocities the bulgarian minority in ukraine experienced during the soviet union, what atrocities today she is trying to convey that hunger is already a consequence of the war unleashed by russia in ukraine, both for the country itself and for its borders and the longer hostilities continue , the more massive and painful the consequences for humanity will be, not only from deaths as a result of

shelling, but also from the lack of food, says the artist tatyana vorozko svitlana koval oleksiy osika - voice americans from sofia, bulgaria, every day thousands of ukrainian soldiers undergo complex rehabilitation after injuries received on the battlefield, many of them those who had amputated limbs had to start a new life, a group of volunteers helps such veterans find psychological balance with the help of horses and therapy for wounded soldiers is widely used in the usa however, in ukraine, she takes her first steps in the melyano that for the act yuriy dankevich will tell about this project callsign cartoon this is how the senior soldier gets to know each other petrova, a polish boy, together with several comrades, came to the largest horse arena in western ukraine from a rehabilitation center 80 km from here . petro was the driver of a bmp-1 armored car on

tracks. this ride, the guys start cleaning the horse, it's already touching, it's already interaction. and when they understand that the horse didn't eat them, they're less afraid to sit on it, if there was no experience at all, he has the impression that he just i feel alone, there are no such ones who heard. i still know. the horse is my leg. peter lost his leg in may in the donbass. he says that the enemy tried to surround their squad and remembers how he had to take machine gun lessons after the death of his comrade. in addition to his leg, in the cartoon there were serious injuries from the stomach and internal organs, the doctors literally brought him back to life, they told me he was born in bakhmut in the donetsk region, in eurobas, and they still tell me there were 20 minutes left, what does the tvc top say, he just didn't sleep in us once

it's not our place, six men with armor lost the sixth in the evening until 6:00 a.m. may 18, i remembered it as my second birthday, accompanied by a psychologist and a coach, veterans overcome barriers, squeezed again, squeezed hard, straight up, look how my muscles tensed, you know and get new experience in the saddle, i understand that they came to stroke the horse, but here it turns out that you have to work with your muscles, the person feels the horse, feels the rhythm , begins to balance, relaxed, and we will already start talking about other things, about captivity and about problems in the family and about plans for the future well, in the end, it is a psychological feeling that you are on a horse, according to this trainer oleksandr khandogina, a native muscovite who moved to ukraine 12 years ago, i came in the 10th year and in the 13th year i had

the opportunity to return, but i was ashamed, i decided that i will not return, as a matter of principle, together with my husband, a war veteran, in 2018, they decided to hold classes with horses for other participants in hostilities, many of whom suffered amputations. in general, i hate the word rehabilitation that's why someone is killed. well, i really hate the word hippotherapy, the word rehabilitation, because it is everywhere from every iron. i am sick and you are so sick. it is necessary to treat me now, but i am now. i need to rehabilitate where it is not necessary. or rehabilitate ? take a horse. just come by train. have a good time. you will be regulated somewhere in another city, you just come to visit us you ride horses he spends a lot of time and that's all well somehow, i have this approach oleksandra and natalya met due to a full-scale invasion four years ago nataliya settled in a village in kyiv polissia, 40 km from chernobyl, and created a space for veterans of frontline volunteers and children's camps after february 24, when the village

was under russian occupation and had to urgently leave and leave five horses, four of them a droplet of dawn dodo that foal and little bird survived and after the retreat of the russians were transported to the west of the country. work, but together it's common and energetic, you know, it's equal to the equal. we also have animals that also work according to this principle, all our stresses get stuck in our body, say nataliya and oleksandra, they are convinced that a horse helps to get to know oneself better, and riding a horse unites a person and an animal in one thing, if it should be called therapy, then let it be called centaur therapy, i have shudlyak yuriy dankevich, voice of america from lviv , download the mobile application of the voice of america,
