9:03 pm

9:04 pm
shot down from the sky and british liane sweeney was among the dead, there are always tragedies in the world, but this part i am a part of my life and it will always be, will this verdict change anything for you, the fairy will help you move in the right direction, but it will not change anything, because i can no longer return this verdict , the result of the largest investigation in the modern history of the netherlands, and most of all, the relatives of the victims were waiting for it thanks to reconstruction of the wreckage found, researchers were able to determine the warhead that pierced the plane, it was released from the territory that at that time was under the control of separatists, who were supported by russia and moscow until the last denied the delivery of the rocket, many of the relatives of the victims believe that if the world community had taken a tougher position towards russia in response to the shooting down of a civilian plane, it would have been possible to avoid geopolitical instability and
9:05 pm
a full-scale russian invasion of ukraine elsa's father mick hans is in despair, he keeps all the memories of my only child and her documents, which were found intact at the scene of the disaster , it is extremely important for me to feel the justice of the process in amsterdam followed my colleague svyatoslav khomenko, he is on the direct line. thank you, hello, so let's once again summarize what the court decided, the main thing from the verdict, first of all, in order to fully implement the verdict of the court, we need to wait a little, as far as we know today, despite the fact that the judge reads this verdict almost for two hours, he read only a small part of it in its entirety, the vertic takes up hundreds, and it is possible and more than 1,000 pages, they will appear in public access later, what is not in this vertic, in this verdict, there is no e-e solution e
9:06 pm
punishment for those who directly pressed the button. after that, a beech rocket flew into the sky and a verdict was sent to those people who made the decision to deliver this beech with russian letters, as we already know from the court's verdict to ukraine, from a formal point of view, the court gave life imprisonment to three people to the citizens of russia and one citizen of ukraine, the most famous of them is, of course, the former so -called minister of defense of the so-called dpr igor yerkin strilkov, another citizen of russia who ended up in the virtual power of the defendants, i will remind that none of them appeared before and did not defend themselves personally oleg kulatov was found not guilty and the court recognized that he could be involved in this whole story with a side, but did not find sufficient grounds to accuse him of as many as 298 murders, except that it is very correct said the court ruled that he beat up the defendants and now we already know that they are guilty
9:07 pm
the court found them guilty they must compensate more than 16 million euros to the relatives one more or more precisely two details were affected that are also very important to understand from today's court decision, this is first of all a court admitted that as of the summer of 2014, an international armed conflict was taking place between ukraine and russia on the territory of donbas, and the second important thing is that as of the summer of 2014, russia had full and comprehensive control over the so-called donetsk people's republic. why are these things important due to the fact that these facts established by the dutch court may play a very important key role in the future court proceedings regarding russia regarding its role in what happened in donbas, but i will repeat the full analysis we will be able to make a decision of the court no earlier than in the second half of december, when the full decision of the court will be publicly available, well, we will
9:08 pm
talk about the consequences, but i know you talked to the relatives of the victims, what was their reaction, uh, you know, it seems to me that most of the relatives are of course we are talking now about 298 victims and we ca n't just sum up some common denominator of their reaction, but it seemed to me subjectively that most of the relatives left the courts with a smile and when i asked them about their first the emotion they felt, they talk about relief, they say that there was no joy, that is, the sentence of life imprisonment for three people who were actually accused of murdering their close children, relatives, there was no applause, there were no shouts of pleasure, e-e there was a feeling of relief , my colleague olya and that she spoke with a couple from australia who lost only their son in the disaster and they said that they are the voice of their child or to tell the world the truth about what happened in
9:09 pm
july 2014, in turn i spoke with the father of the only citizen of the united states who died in this disaster, and he spoke about the fact that putin and his henchmen should end up on the dock, and it was something like this in our country. it seems to me that the people who followed the trial today killed all the children but this is the first verdict, is the investigation ongoing, are they ready or when possible will the dutch prosecutor's office be ready to announce new suspicions and transfer new cases to the court, first of all it is very important to understand that there are 14 days for an appeal, that is, it is possible the prosecutor's office of the netherlands will appeal that oleg pulatov was found innocent, maybe three of the convicts will appeal that they consider themselves innocent, at least we still have 14 days to appeal, but the international investigative team continues its work. how did i talk to the deputy prosecutor general of the
9:10 pm
netherlands today? she said that the investigation will continue right now in two directions . this missile was launched. that is, we are talking about the identification of the specific soldiers who did it, and the second is about establishing a chain of those political and or military leaders who made the decision to deliver to ukraine the russian anti-aircraft missile complex buk. i asked mrs. ivan buchyla whether she assumed that someone from the political or military leadership of russia may end up on the dock in the future, she laughed and said that we will see it at the beginning of next year, precisely during the first three months of next year, allegedly the prosecutor's office the netherlands will come forward with a new batch, at least that's what ms. buchala promised me, with a new batch
9:11 pm
of cases regarding those who could be involved in the boeing 17 disaster, what role will the current verdict have in bringing russia to justice as a state, and here i want to emphasize once again that there is no confusion, we are not talking about the international court of justice, the case was considered by the district court of the hague. but can this verdict continue to be the basis of decisions of international courts ? to blame him for some kind of commitment. not least because of this, ukraine transferred jurisdiction in this case to the dutch court, and directly, its conclusions can be used in international courts, but it must be understood that this is such a very delicate matter. and today, even the lawyers of the victims of the lawyer the families of the actual victims of this plane crash spoke about the fact that it is not necessary to
9:12 pm
mix warm with green and that the role of specific people in what happened in july 2014 in donbas and in other courts in particular the international court of the un and the european court of human rights consider the role of the russian state and the political military leadership, respectively, and of course these conclusions of the dutch district court of the hague, which ended today, will be used there. but will they become some kind of game changer that will completely change the situation or will there a determining factor in what other courts will accept, well, we cannot say that now. thank you, bbc correspondent sviatoslav khomenko for the court's verdict in the case a colleague of malaysian boeing thank you and poland told the first results of the investigation into the fall of the rocket, the investigators collected evidence that indicates the sequence of events, the head of the
9:13 pm
international policy bureau under the president of poland stated this as a bluff, according to him, the investigators are studying the remains of the rocket, the depth of the crater, calculating the direction from which it came and the amount of used of fuel , ukrainian experts were also admitted to the scene of the incident. people immediately assumed that it was a russian missile, because on that very day russia carried out a massive shelling of many ukrainian regions, this caused fears that there would be a serious escalation , since poland is a member of nato, but the alliance names ukrainian air defense as the probable cause of the explosion. ukraine continues to insist that it was the russian missile that fell in poland the rocket and the young men's responses to this situation became even louder calls to support ukraine western countries on rammstein 7 announced new supplies of weapons canada announced the allocation aid for 34 million dollars sweden allocates
9:14 pm
military aid for ukraine for 287 million euros, in particular air defense equipment spain will transfer these two additional anti-aircraft missile complexes and missiles to them greece will supply artillery shells germany will continue to supply air defense systems artillery ammunition that will supply artillery and anti-tank weapons of the anti-aircraft system of defense in the morning russia attacked ukraine with missiles and drones kamikazes hit the odesa and dnipropetrovsk regions air defense forces shot down two cruise missiles and several iranian drones this was reported in the kyiv city military administration, there are no data on casualties and destruction, the report says that in dnipro, the russians struck an industrial enterprise , which caused a fire, according to the well-known deputy head of the president's office, kyrylo tymoshenko , two objects were hit, residential buildings were damaged nearby - 23 people were injured, 15 of them are in the
9:15 pm
hospital, one woman is in a serious condition, in addition to the rocket artillery and s-300 anti-aircraft missiles, the russians struck from the planes of strategic aviation from the rostov region reports the command of the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine, in total, from nine bombers of missile carriers, up to 18 cruise missiles were launched, and one of the attack forces became a gas facility in the east of ukraine. other objects suffered damage of varying degrees. ukrainian mining specialists quickly arrived at the damaged objects. they are currently assessing the consequences and scale of the attack. information about the victims. the state emergency service extinguished the fire caused by the shelling. prior to this, russia sent its strategists to energy facilities , due to which there were significant power outages in many regions
9:16 pm
in this country, emergency power outages began, and we will discuss today's events as an expert with us in touch, the director of e-e energy programs of the razumkov center, volodymyr omelchenko, thank you, volodymyr, for joining the broadcast, the russians hit critical infrastructure objects again today, what is the situation in ukraine as of now and how serious are these damages? you know that the situation in ukraine today is very difficult in the energy sector, but there is no controlled panic, emergency teams work 24/7, the government is doing everything possible, so the people are keeping calm, but again we see that these are systemic attacks on the energy infrastructure, the largest missile attacks in the history of mankind, carried out by russia and
9:17 pm
ukraine, and today the transmission line is damaged, and you know that even the power transmission line that connects the energy system was damaged from the rivne khmelnytskyi nuclear power plants that this is very dangerous and can lead to an accident of the european level. these plants are located near the borders of nato countries, as far as gas infrastructure is concerned, and strikes were indeed made at the poltava and kharkiv regions, where the largest nuclear plants in ukraine are located, and this can also be said lead to serious energy problems in the winter, so i think that our western partners play a big role here, which would mean that they help us, but we need to increase the level of funding for the supply of equipment necessary for ukraine, but this may not help if i am
9:18 pm
systemic, these strikes will continue, it is very important for ukraine to get russia's systems because russia's impunity is causing the destruction of ukrainian infrastructure . in order to stop the destruction of the infrastructure and, in fact, the humanitarian college in ukraine, which can lead to the collapse of the humanitarian in europe, we hit the power plant , and today we have a case of an attack on a gas facility. does this mean that ukraine can stay not only and without electricity and partially without gas well, yes. that is, this is a well-thought-out plan of the russian federation to destroy the entire energy infrastructure. because the more you know here, there is uh, it means direct dependence. the more uh, the more successes of the ukrainian
9:19 pm
armed forces at the front, the more russia destroys civil infrastructure, that is, it essentially destroys the viability of the population, and of course the international community should react more powerfully, now there is a weak reaction, which means that the entire country of 30 million people will be destroyed, but the reaction in my opinion, it is very inadequate, it means the leading figures of the world, and here it is time to provide ukraine with deterrence weapons so that these strikes do not go unpunished, and otherwise it will definitely not be possible to get something from the fifth article, we see that the conflict is spreading on and on and on and on and on until the rocket hit poland, so you know that the destroyed oil pumping stations
9:20 pm
, e. more and more, the conflict affects the nato country, if the attacks are on black infrastructure, such as the rivne and khmelnytsky railway stations, this can lead to an accident and directly for the children of the residents of nato countries, that is, the only way, in my opinion , not to apply nato article five is to give ukraine e -e no flyzone firstly and secondly - this is to provide weapons e-e long-range missiles in this way, the only way is to stop the destruction of the humanitarian catastrophe in ukraine, this is in my opinion thank you for such a thorough analysis of the situation in the energy sector we spoke with
9:21 pm
volodymyr omelchenko, the director of energy programs of the razumkov center, in kakhovka, kherson region, the russians have intensified filtering measures, they are targeting infrastructure facilities and destroying cell towers . property from the temporarily occupied territories of the kherson region. in addition, the central city hospital ceased to function in nova kakhovka because all the medical equipment and ambulances were stolen and taken away in the direction of the temporarily occupied crimea, the general staff reports that the russian army lost the basis of its infantry and officers in the first six months of the war, this was the opinion expressed by the deputy minister of defense of ukraine in a conversation with bbc correspondents volodymyr gavrylov told about the situation on front and whether it is possible to reach a compromise between ukraine and russia tirgazerechno new rutor in ukraine recently
9:22 pm
celebrated the liberation of kherson what is happening now on the fronts the war continues but among the military there is excitement after the liberation of kherson to continue the offensive of course we need to be careful with calculations and logistics and provide the army with means to continue in the same spirit the russians cannot stop us because they do not have such strength of spirit and motivation advance yours your latest victories in the war what does this say about the russian army about its readiness, because we remember conversations even before the war about the capture of kyiv in three days lost, the russian army lost its base of infantry officers in the first 6-7 months of the war, they have lost most of their modern equipment, now they are sending to the front militarized people who are not prepared, but not mentally prepared, and not yet equipped enough. they have a lot of old soviet equipment, such as armored vehicles or tanks, but
9:23 pm
they are not relevant to this war, in this war, important technologies are therefore what we saw in kherson this is the result, ukraine launched a counter-offensive on november 8. on november 9, russia announces a planned retreat, and two days later they disappear from the territory that occupies more than a thousand square kilometers, leaving a lot of destroyed equipment and soldiers disguised as civilians, we are still hunting them all over the area, at the same time in moscow they claim that all this was done well and all equipment and people were evacuated to the left bank of the river, this is all not true the apple is there a possibility of peace negotiations or a possible compromise between ukraine and russia? as far as i know, there is no such possibility. there is a very clear message from our politicians that we will not negotiate with the current leaders in russia. they know for sure.
9:24 pm
our demands. we must restore the borders of 2014, return crimea and the east, as well as compensation for the damage caused to the infrastructure of ukraine. ukraine declares that the bodies of 63 civilians with traces of torture were found near the recently liberated kherson. russia has repeatedly denied committing atrocities during its invasion, but a correspondent in kherson bbc james water house met with two people who said that they were received for more than a month in premises that are called torture chambers, only when russia leaves does it realize that it has masterminded what happened here an illustration of brutality, it used to be the kherson police station, but after the russian troops took control of it, they set up a torture chamber here, the local authorities claim that the tv journalist

murder of the civilian population, yes, torture , rape, everything that the occupying forces did, yes, the operational authorities during the period of occupation, and the more evidence there is, the louder moscow denies its complicity in attacks against the civilian population, but when russia retreats, it leaves behind familiar traces russian businessmen may soon lose their fortunes the united states has promised to intensify efforts to seize superyachts and other assets owned by kremlin-linked russian oligarchs is it possible to confiscate and arrest the property of the rich , the director of one of the american working groups shared his thoughts in the bbc program our world for many years russian billionaires they felt comfortable in the west, they lived in their luxurious villas and traveled on super yachts, but when russia invaded ukraine, for some of them it
