that will speed up the transfer of large attack drones in ukraine, we now have the switch blade, but you know how to throw a grenade. well, they will come bigger, serhiy sgorets said. well, i will remind you once again that we are waiting for it. until sunday with but you will be with espresso follow the events and now the broadcast continues my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news are watching together good evening we are from ukraine evgeniya shidlovskaya and in 30 minutes we will talk about the so-called referendums on joining russia started in the occupied territories, the ukrainian authorities call them fake russian mobilization is gaining momentum, the first buses left from the military commissariats, summonses are also served in the annexed

crimea, and war crimes are recorded in the liberated izyum, testimonies about the torture and murder of civilians are collected, they have completed the exhumation of bodies in the occupied territories of donetsk, luhansk , kherson and zaporozhye regions conduct pseudo-referendums on joining russia with the rights of a subject of the russian federation. that's it the question sounds literally, and according to the reports of the russian mass media in the occupied kherson region and part of the zaporizhzhia region, they are also asking about leaving ukraine and creating an independent state, the ukrainian authorities, the majority of the leaders of the transitory countries of the un, consider this whole process

to be legally null and sham, so that it does not change anything on the international level, russia threatens to annex the occupied territories and, as putin stated, defend the militants of the declared republics and the occupation administrations declared that the so-called voting would last for 5 days from friday to tuesday and that there was immediately confusion . in the courtyards they still announced about online voting, so to speak, but judging by the video distributed by the russian mass media , the so-called referendum began with voting, as they say, at addresses, that is, on the streets and more a video appears of people voting in pseudo-referendums in russia, in particular in khabarovsk , the ukrainian authorities call on residents of the occupied territories to ignore the so-called referendum, while the

ukrainian military continues to conduct a counteroffensive and liberate new villages, today the general staff announced that they took control of the village of yatskivka in donetsk region with a successful ukrainian counter-offensive, viewers associate russian haste with pseudo -referendums in this so-called referendum , only one result is expected, the one who wants russia at the polling station in donetsk, the school director shows how everything will happen, we have no doubts since 2014. ukraine and western countries say that this process is not legitimate, they say that it is an attempt to seize ukrainian territory by russia, but this did not prevent officials supported by moscow from organizing it these families from zaporizhzhia fled from the occupation, they do not want their cities to be part of russia well, i do not support the referendum because i do not support the referendum because how can you

illegally take part of ukraine to come to other people's homes and do what they want my little town and my region i believe that my place and region completely belong to ukraine, it's all very difficult i think that russians have no place on our land i don't think russians have a place on our land at all of course yes, you can practically see on russian television, the supposedly free and fair vote of the leader of the lpr militants leonid pasichnik is called a new page of history, says that people are voting for joining the russian federation to russia which, as the un investigator said today, committed war crimes including executions torture and sexual violence in kyiv official representatives say that the vote is illegal which will not change anything they see it as russia's reaction to its recent defeats on the battlefield

but it could lead to an escalation of the war moscow can claim that the attacks in this area are attacks on the territory of russia, president putin's city is losing ground in ukraine, and with these plebiscites, russia hopes to change the course of the war , and kremlin spokesman piskov said today that the process of the donbass and other territories joining the russia will be quick and they also say that moscow will consider attempts to return the territory an attack on its lands, according to him, although kyiv previously declared fake referendums to the hybrid, mobilization will not change anything, ukraine will liberate its territory so that they do not say in russia . we talk more about the so-called referendums with my colleague viktoria zhuran, she is in direct contact from odessa, vito is primarily talking about the situation in odessa, while in the

occupied territories these demonstrations are taking place quasi-referendums in odesa today the russian military struck with drones you heard the explosions and there is already information the ukrainian military claims to have shot down six kamikaze drones, what else is officially known about this good evening today in odesa in the afternoon, explosions were heard we understand that the ukrainian anti-aircraft defense was supposed to work, and at the end of the day, the head of odesa region announced that in addition to all that you have already mentioned, the ukrainian anti-aircraft command for the first time today in the south, they shot down an attack drone called mohajer-6, it is iranian-made, it is designed for reconnaissance and shelling, and there is another detail of these drone attacks today that the foreign ministry will react to this because the president's office has already

said that this is an encroachment by iran on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine and if we go back to these pseudo-referendums that the occupying authorities are hastily holding, we saw the video distributed by the russian mass media, but in reality, what is known about how it all happens zhenya, well it is not known what is really happening because we have fragmentary information from social networks. so today i am monitoring the statements of the heads of the vassals of these regions all day. here is what is most important in kherson oblast. with machine gun barrels, the head of the vatsa also says that today only eh, that is, there could have been similar incidents before, too, but today the russian military kidnapped twelve people from their own

homes allegedly for pro-ukrainian views and taken to an unknown direction further in the luhansk region. serhii gaidai also reports that people are being pressured , they come to their homes and say with guns that if they don't open the door, they will break down the door and say that if a person votes no, that is, against , they work on it in some notebook well, finally , in zaporizhzhia, oleksandr the old woman reports that the issue of the passage and departure of men of conscription age has become acute because people are afraid that russia will want to mobilize men occupied territories and secondly, in zaporizhzhia they say that the armed forces of ukraine worked so hard on the concentration points of the organizers of this well, it seems , the referendum process and the stocks of ballots that in zaporizhzhia they say that this process has been disrupted well, the key thing is what the consequences of what is happening now in the occupied territories will have on ukrainian statements

power to world leaders that it is illegal and not a referendum for ukraine, there may be two key consequences, firstly, russia may try to call ukrainian men to domestic territories to its army, the second consequence may be that russia will raise the stakes in the war and lead to escalation. although many say that it is not known what kind of escalation can be imagined, except for a nuclear strike after everything that russia has already done in ukraine, well, for russia, this may become an internal justification firstly, mobilization, secondly, justification after the successful ukrainian counteroffensive and the release of the defenders of azovstal well, finally, in the foreign policy arena, it may happen that the support group of ukraine will have additional arguments why to continue or even

strengthen sanctions against russia well, actually mentioning nuclear weapons, putin continues to threaten nuclear weapons bbc correspondent victoria zhivan about pseudo-referendums held in the occupied territories and in russia, the declared partial mobilization is gaining momentum, summonses are issued throughout the country to men without combat experience who have not served in the army for more than 60 years. this is how they are sent from yakutia to chechnya . some experts assume that he is afraid of possible riots, while the russian authorities say that they plan to mobilize 300,000 people, but western analysts believe that untrained fighters will not strengthen the russian army, and there is also a report that the russian authorities are mobilizing residents of the annexed crimea; men

need the permission of the military committee to leave the peninsula the ukrainian authorities urge people to avoid mobilization, and if it fails, then surrender to the ukrainian army, so the representative office of the president of ukraine in crimea advises to weigh the risks at every stage, in particular, to hide, to get lost, to sabotage the mobilization of the russian army, to avoid personally receiving summons calls from military commissars, to delete the application for the provision of administrative services, or to lose the phone, if possible, to leave the peninsula, or to leave the place of residence and not to report your location, listen to e-e russian the federation will try to call and mobilize our ukrainian citizens who live in the occupied territories, including the autonomous republic of crimea and the city of sevastopol therefore, we call on our ukrainian citizens to sabotage the mobilization and avoid such

mobilization. we understand that it is difficult, but you must do everything on your own, because you must understand that if you get to the battlefield, most likely you will be killed or you will be wounded, you will become disabled we do not want this for our ukrainian citizens or you will be prosecuted according to the current ukrainian legislation and we lived from the crimean tatar people calls for an indefinite protest against the forced mobilization and we are in direct contact with the human rights activist oleksandra matviychuk. we are talking more about this topic ms. oleksandra. thank you for joining our broadcast. to what extent is mobilization on the annexed territory in the annexed crimea contrary to international law? it is completely contrary to international law and it is a war crime. because according to the fourth geneva convention on the protection of the civilian population of the state, the occupier has no right

to force the population of the occupied territories to serve in its own armed forces human rights organizations monitored such cases before a full-scale invasion and submitted submissions to the international criminal court. we hope that after the opening of the implementation on the second of march, these cases will be among those for which the international criminal court will bring the guilty to justice, but to what extent the situation in the annexed crimea is different from that that was before when when there was the same call for it in russia is conducting an attack as it declares a partial mobilization, but we see that in it is quite broad mobilization, in fact, we see that it is a mass mobilization, and if we are talking about the occupied crimea , there is a clear disparity in the ethnic nature of these mobilizations, uh, uh, uh, about the places where the

crimean tatar people live compactly, which is the chicken people of crimea, mass summonses are handed out to men who are by the crimean tatars, and this massiveness indicates that the occupying authorities of the crimea implemented hidden organizational means for this to be done, and this gives grounds to talk about another crime besides forced mobilization for service in the armed forces of the occupier state, that this is another purposeful extermination of the male population of the crimean tatar people, at least an attempt to exterminate them by sending them to war. and just now, a message appeared from the russian authorities in crimea that leaving is not prohibited, but men need to have a certificate to leave from the military commissariat, i.e. in fact, this is forced mobilization, this is practically a prohibited departure . well, because people of conscription age in the occupied

crimea, they cannot leave, and that hmm here we need more to say that these are all citizens of ukraine, and we remember how this passportization was carried out in 14th year and how people simply treated them like a sack of potatoes, it was as if they had moved from a rock band and received citizenship of the russian federation. about those cases , who are brought to whom in crimea, who are mobilized in crimea, what do you as human rights defenders advise to do in this situation, if a person from the annexed crimea ended up in the russian army fighting against the ukrainian army well, here is the first step i i support the representatives of the ukrainian authorities, who understand that all serious situations are complicated, and they recommend to avoid the draft in various ways, to sabotage this illegal draft

and not to put your own life and health at risk, and the state authorities, here we also support them if this has not already been done, then surrender as a prisoner at the first opportunity, and if a person did not commit war crimes and was forcibly mobilized, then you surrendered as a prisoner , then she will not be held responsible. thank you oleksandra matviychuk, head of the center for civil liberties, we talked about the russian mobilization in the annexed crimea, and i will remind you that on the same day that russia announced the mobilization, there was a large exchange of prisoners, the largest since the beginning of the war. ukraine freed 215 people from russian captivity, including the defenders of mariupol, the commanders of the azov regiment, russia received medvedchuk and 55 of its own

among the soldiers freed by ukraine, the majority were prisoners from azov, which the russians captured in may, military national guardsmen, border guards , sbu employees and, as the intelligence chief told kyrylo bohdanov, most of the soldiers were subjected to torture, they were received in bad conditions and, just as the representatives of the ukrainian authorities said, the exchange took place simultaneously in four countries : ukraine, poland, saudi arabia, turkey , the dismissal of the command, they were once in ankara, there they will stay for a certain period of time in a private house in comfort, as reported by the president zelenskyi said the day before that five comments will remain in turkey until the end of the war and in this large exchange of prisoners of war there was an unexpected player, saudi arabia, which took care of the release of foreigners from russian captivity, released 10 foreign citizens of the united kingdom, the united states, sweden, croatia, morocco, as saudi arabia, its de facto ruler, muhammad

salman, became mediators between russia and the west . conflict, we see that it affects all of us and the leadership of the kingdom always tends to look for ways to resolve conflicts, especially when they have a wide influence on the global situation for saudi arabia - this should be a rare opportunity to try to restore relations with the west after the large-scale scandal surrounding the murder of the saudi journalist jamalakh shock-ji. it was such a dark cloud, you hoped that this mediation would help dispel this cloud . it seems to me that this is a very cynical view, the country's leadership saw an opportunity to achieve humanitarian breakthrough to facilitate the return of these detainees to their families, and this was the motivation. i

understand that negotiations for the release of ten citizens of several different nationalities began back in april. it was the initiative of his royal highness the crown prince to try to find a way to facilitate dialogue. we learned about these ten detainees and he contacted great britain, of course, russia, ukraine in order to facilitate their release, ukraine looks like there are two separate agreements, the other is mediated turkey provided for the release of more than 200 prisoners of war in exchange for 55 russian soldiers and politics were these two agreements so necessary to achieve a breakthrough regarding the release of 10 foreign nationals for the agreement to take place, the major exchange took place only when ten foreign nationals arrived on the territory of saudi arabia have passed the inspection and this is a

window to another window, at the same time several thousand people are still in russian captivity, the minister of reintegration said about this temporarily of the occupied territories, iryna vereshchuk said in a bbc commentary, it is several thousand, we are talking about two and a half thousand people, and the worst thing is that civilians remain there. as you can see, there have been several exchanges in a row, civilians are not being released , you need to ask the question of the cut and demand the release of civilians, they cannot be exchanged and they must be returned and there are many women among them, there are quite a few left if you take into account that 131 women left azovstal, and you know only a few have been changed, so imagine how many women there are now is waiting for us to liberate them and i will constantly talk about it loudly, women must be liberated, they behave terribly, they abuse, they beat our women, they torture our women, and the world should not watch and watch silently when

our women are killed in prison iryna vereshchuk a now about the restrictions on leaving ukraine during martial law, male students studying abroad have been subject to such restrictions since september 14, they were banned from leaving, as the authorities explain, due to massive forgery of documents for which students such the students were outraged by the restrictions, because the academic year of foreign students has already begun and they can be expelled in their absence, and the students staged a protest lecture on the border with poland at the shegyny checkpoint and recorded this video message in which they ask the president to intervene in the situation and allow them to leave dear mr. president, we are the same students of shegin, we are asking you to help us settle the issue of the departure of students to foreign institutions of higher education for study. we believe that the future of our country is important to you and you do everything possible to resolve

this issue as soon as possible. thank you. glory to ukraine. the state border service explains that they were forced to take such a step. in july-august alone, the border guards recorded more than 600 attempts to cross the border using fictitious documents and say that the restrictions are based on a government decree, as you know, during wartime . in general, ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 will be prohibited from leaving the country, but there are exceptions, and this is a clearly written list of whom it applies to, and these exceptions are specified in the decision this is not government resolution number 57, which regulates the procedure for crossing the border by citizens of ukraine , including during martial law, the category of students does not fall under these exceptions, therefore, they do not have the right to cross the border, before we really let some students through, it was a decision of the top military leadership, which

proposed to release from the borders of ukraine those students who studied before february 24, and the state border service ensured the passage of this category of students by checking all available documents that confirmed their studies until february 24, in fact, before the full-scale war, until the moment of the announcement of mobilization, because i should note that according to the law on mobilization, students are indeed not subject to mobilization, but there is legislation that regulates border crossing and students do not have the right to cross the border recently, especially in july -august, we discovered quite a lot of documents that have signs of forgery or falsification, and actually they are trying to use them during the so -called canal society, then border guards a decision was made to refuse this

category, i.e. students who studied after february 24, to the head abroad at the border crossing so that there would be no abuse, this issue should be fully resolved at the legislative level according to the actually prescribed rules for crossing the state border and amendments were made to government resolution number 57, the un commission confirmed that the russian military committed war crimes in ukraine , un representatives collected evidence, un representatives say it is rape, torture of minors killings of civilians, the un commission of inquiry visited 27 settlements, at the same time, in the recently liberated territories, more and more evidence of war crimes appears in the cell, they tell how they were tortured by the russian military correspondent lagerin visited izyum, warns that some testimonies in her material can shock the heart of darkness in the center of izyum, ukrainians the investigators

claim that this is the police department, the russians used a torture chamber on the way to the basement where we were allowed to go down, our guide carefully checks every step to make sure that the enemy did not leave the trap with oil changes, meanwhile, one can only imagine how scary it was for people when they were put in these cells here on the wall, someone scratched the date, it seems to be june 22 this year, the conditions are terrible here, there are only thin mattresses, the windows are not covered, at the same time, people were kept here without light and heating with there are more and more details about how they were tortured here in the city hospital, which somehow functions. we meet mykhailo ivanovich, who is being treated for injuries he received. he is a pensioner, he is

67 years old, but that did not stop the russians, the man says they broke his arm when they tried to hold him, the russians suspected mykhailo ivanovich of sabotage, they tortured him for 12 days, i can't say anything more, he will take me away, that's where he will be released, they were tortured with electric shock, they already put it on my fingers, and i don't know, they stuffed my whole back with a spitz the spitz were pushed here and there, they pushed them through the skin, too, well, the body is the word at the other end of the city in the former russian command center, a terrible find, we are told that there is blood on this ax, whose blood

is unknown." while we are discussing it is rising panic for ivan, the police run for cover after a sound similar to shelling, this time this sound is not accompanied by an explosion in the forest on the outskirts of the city , the dead are still being exhumed, mostly civil officials say that some of the dead had their hands tied, and the bodies showed visible traces of torture . olena came from husband yuri to find her father, the last time she heard about her father was in april, when he was still on the front lines, we know

the families of those who were in the same condition as us, but they have already found the bodies, and well, it's probably a bit difficult they were happy to find at least a body in the countryside near the raisin, the ukrainian forces that quickly moved forward have to consolidate their achievements and close the gaps, at the same time in a broken place there is a lack of food, there is neither electricity nor water in abundance. dasha lulls her son tim to sleep but can't calm all his fears scared we're still scared

we don't know scary we don't know if it will be safe here in the long run we feel like we're standing on thin ice hostilities continue, but victory is not yet certain pobedy woman says that she prays for peace and a bright future for ukrainian children who have already suffered too much and today the exhumation of the body from the mass burial site was completed, 436 bodies were recovered from the ground, most of them with symptoms 30 violent deaths with traces of torture, most of the dead were civilians, 21 were military personnel. these data were reported by the head of the region oleg synogubov, and according to him,

such a mass burial is not the only one in izyum. we are finishing our news release, see you next week at 9:00 pm good luck shield in the evening, let's celebrate a cold already celebrates familiar symptoms try flukold and 4 components of flukol and have a targeted effect against the will and the undead flukolden some creatures are not able to choose something else and we in ukraine like to choose everything, even if it's insurance on hotline finance hotline finance insurance, of course, online
