half an hour on the main topics of the day russia aims to advance deep into the donetsk region but it is unlikely to succeed, such a prediction is made by the british military intelligence, a tribunal for putin, a lawyer and an internationalist are working on a trial for war crimes of the russian leadership, will it be possible, and the rest or the basement, what happens to the russians who refuse to fight steve's report rosenberg, russia sets itself the goal of advancing deep into the donetsk region. but it is unlikely that it will succeed . british military intelligence makes such a prediction. british intelligence officers believe that the russians

are unlikely to be able to achieve significant success in this direction in the coming months, but the institute for the study of war in the daily review analyzes in detail the participation of belarus in the russian invasion of ukraine, moscow's pressure on minsk led to the opposite result, and the direct participation of the belarusian military in the war in the region is unlikely researchers believe that the attack by the armed forces of ukraine on the allegedly russian base in melitopol remains one of the main topics of the day, according to ukrainian sources, the target was the base camp of one of the russian units, the former privat hunter hotel complex was used as a barracks, and most of the dead and wounded were probably at the time of the attack dining room, according to eyewitnesses , about ten explosions were heard; on the video in social networks, the consequences of the attack are visible. and according to ukrainian sources, the number of dead as a result of the attack, it could exceed 200 russian

military ukrainian sources also claim that there were not ordinary employees at the base, according to wild data, there was an officer corps, including chechen commanders, and we are joined by the analyst of the national institute of strategic studies, oleksiy ezhyk. i congratulate you, well, for the first time in the conditions war journalists rarely have the opportunity to check the information coming from the parties independently check what do you know about the strike on this base well, i know the same as the mass media, but still after all, we know that in the modern world intelligence from open sources gives a very good er result. well, we cannot release sources to say er who specifically died, what their positions were, what their salary was, and what kind of huts, but still, we can judge about that that what was said is true, it was a strike

, not just one strike, the logistical logistical capabilities of russia in melitopol were also destroyed and were destroyed in several places, the command capabilities were destroyed , and in particular, the wagner chv and russian military and national units what kinds of people exist there, maybe they weren’t chechens, there are different options about whether they were assatyns or ingush well, but it’s important that they carry it by the way, russian propaganda tv channels and often you can hear that there were uh, just civilians, but it was during the curfew and well, for now it is difficult to imagine how it is possible in such conditions. yes, do you have a

comment on this matter? i apologize for everything. i heard a bad communication about were there civilians there? this operation itself is hers the accuracy indicates that our troops and our intelligence knew exactly where the strike was being carried out and who was there. i very much doubt from the very context and logic of this strike that civilians were harmed there , what is the price of the front line bakhmut again for several weeks, if not for months, a non-hot spot president zelensky stated that the city is practically destroyed, what is happening there now, why, what is its strategic importance for the armed forces of

ukraine, for the russians, why are the russians throwing so many forces there, for the russians, of strategic importance pakhmut in that it is a certain symbolism, a certain symbolism of the possibility of a specific political group and a specific specific operational yevgeny prigozhyn of his private and private army numbering three 30-40 thousand and it is significant to fulfill a certain task that he promised to fulfill and he promised to do a step a step ago to seize the entire donetsk region, and from this point of view it is strategically important for russia for its internal situation, but from the point of view of the actual situation at the front, everything is important rather symbolically than strategically. of course, it is tactically important because loss of control over bakhmut, if this

happens, will increase the pressure on other cities of the donetsk region, such as the slavic kramatorsk , it is not desirable, but of strategic importance for the course of this war . it creates such a situation when very tough battles are really taking place there, and by the way, it’s just interesting how the approaches or actions of the wagnerites differ from the regular russian army, why you can often hear that the wagnerites are more successful than regularly the russian army, i don’t think that the point is that they, uh, that the very tactics and mechanisms of combat

or the combat training of the wagnerites are better. well, we can say that this group has experience in low -intensity battles that it is a priority now that part of the armed forces of russia is given to them everything they think they are given artillery they are given ammunition of which russia is already experiencing a shortage they are given aviation support that is, they are given everything they want in order to demonstrate the possibility of success at the front, the possibility that russia can still advance, so i don't think that the strategy of this group has any significance for military

theory. but the fact that a certain part of the army was given everything they want and everything they need for waging war, well, this is what creates such a project, if another group were chosen, for example, one group is enough . i think the situation was the same. it is interesting that the russian government provides all these opportunities not for the army, but for a private military campaign as they call it, thank you very much for the e-e information , the analyst of the national institute of strategic studies, oleksiy ezhyak, on another topic, there is a significant power deficit in the ukrainian power system, as of today, ukrenergo was informed about this situation, the company reminded that the power system suffered three russian attacks in the past week we are talking about a mass attack on december 5 and two local artillery and

drones in the south and east of the country this weekend remain a difficult situation in odesa, where restoration of power to consumers continues due to the complexity of the damage, the works last longer, they are also complicated by bad weather, they surrounded ukrenergo for the balance in the energy system, and each oblenergo has its own consumption limits, and if these limits are exceeded, then emergency shutdowns are applied, and due to the attack on the energy infrastructure of ukraine, the odesa port suspended its work today he resumed work, but this stoppage significantly affected the activity of grain traders, because the cargo had to be redirected using other sea points when the russians attacked the region. last weekend, experts say that this way, the kremlin shows that war is waged not only on the battlefield , a british investment specialist analyzes once

mold war can be waged in different ways when war on the battlefield is one thing when these actions are economic this is how blockades hinder transportation and economic activity for ukraine such financial obstacles have serious consequences. some ukrainian ports have now suspended their activities or are partially working. it was economical to bring ukraine a profit, but on the ukrainian side it is necessary to work quite hard so that this agreement is fulfilled and the ships export grain, so now we are talking about the future agreement, which, again, is taking place through the mediation of turkey, it is extremely important for ukraine to receive money, and for importers of grain, because ukraine is one of the seven of the largest grain exporters in the world and contact us energy market analyst expert center razumkova maksym bilyavskyi greetings

a-a glory to ukraine let's start with the situation on sometimes the situation there is now complicated, what is actually happening there, the situation is really complicated. but again, there really is a controlled shortage of electrical energy in the power system. but the most important thing is that the critical infrastructure facilities were restored today. in the afternoon, the first phase of residential consumers was restored. for tomorrow, scaling of the effect of the power supply restoration is expected , and we expect that by the end of the week, all households in odesa will be electricity supply, but the situation is really complicated not only by constant air alarms, not only by the enemy's constant attempts to launch a terrorist attack

, but also, of course, by bad weather and you icing followed by er, in fact, such er, sag of the mini power transmission, putting them out of order, a similar situation, among other things the weather, together with terrorist attacks , is trying to deprive odesa of electricity , but the courage and brave hearts of the heroes of the energy front are winning, and the principles and terrorist attacks, you know, we are talking about households now, hmm, but odesa is, after all, an industrial region, including us now they were talking about the situation with the ports, how the power supply is being restored, that is, industrial facilities

and ports, which are very important for the economy and ukraine and the whole world, will now go through odesa ports are taking place export of grain eh according to information that is in the public space eh from tomorrow there should be a full eh power supply eh of the maritime infrastructure of the port of odesa and in fact all navigation on the black sea and belonging to the port of odesa will be restored but i wanted i would like to remind you that the situation with the electricity supply of odessa is really critical. i will remind you that russian drones were looking for an attempt to strike and are looking for it every day. this should be understood, including pursuing it as a humanitarian disaster and an attempt to deprive

citizens of ukraine, warmth, comfortable living conditions , including pursuing the possibility of actually stopping humanitarian aid to ukraine by blocking navigation and the shipment of grain products for export, these are extremely important details . i think that it is very important that they were emphasized to me. uh, on the situation, according to prime minister azhmygal, not a single hydro or thermal power plant in ukraine remained undamaged, in general, how critical are the damages? well, in fact, the situation is quite it is difficult, the enemy is targeting the regulating power, which makes it possible to react to the immediate demand, most likely,

this is an element of the strategy to rid the energy system of ukraine of noise, which means the ability to react precisely at the demand of industrial enterprises, however, the ukrainian energy industry copes with the task of restoring the energy system of ukraine . among our international partners, the first deliveries of equipment are already arriving in ukraine, not only from the european union, but also, for example, in azerbaijan, which is very nice, that is, the whole civilized world is trying to defend the backbone of our ukrainian economy, in fact, the base point for resisting the plague the 21st

century of which the russian federation represents, and we should put an end to it. thank you very much for your time. energy market analyst, center expert, razumkova maksym bilyavsky well, volodymyr putin must bear responsibility for the resolution of the war in ukraine, this is already the statement of the minister of foreign affairs in britain, james cleverley, according to him, it is necessary to convey to this world the idea that aggression cannot bring benefits to the aggressor. supported by the international criminal court, however, it does not exclude other mechanisms and intends, together with ukraine and other partners, to define a more effective system and bring to justice those who are guilty of the war, direct speech is absolutely responsible absolutely, when i was in kyiv, i met with representatives of non-governmental organizations, they

talked about the fact that rape and sexual violence had become a deliberate weapon of war, they gave reliable testimonies about children who were forcibly taken out of ukraine and sent for adoption to russia, for this they must bear responsibility, and not only the soldiers who are committing these atrocities, the people up to the very top should be held accountable, everyone involved, including vladimir putin, we are considering the mechanisms how to do it we support the international criminal court, but we recognize that there may be other mechanisms and we will work with our partners with the ukrainians and the international community to find an effective system of responsibility for crimes well, what made all this possible ukrainian authorities document russian crimes, tens of thousands of cases have already been registered but is it possible to bring president putin to court, say uh, the international criminal court

of gazi investigates genocide, aggression, crimes against humanity. but russia does not recognize the decision of this court. and there is, however, a precedent for creating a tribunal based on at the un, let's say the president is like in the case of the former slavia. so, what are the legal options? howard morrison, a former judge of the international criminal court, analyzes there is no chance that it will be in the international criminal court due to restrictions under article 15 of the rome statute. and the fact that russia does not is a signatory to the court, he could be tried by the ukrainian national court because the ukrainian criminal code has an article on the crime of aggression and he could be tried in absentia because it is also part of the criminal code of ukraine in addition, there are possibilities of universal jurisdiction, but i would reject the possibility of this, you can also consider the possibility of creating a

special tribunal to consider the case of the crime of aggression, of course there will be differences between them and the tribunals for yugoslavia and rwanda that were created in accordance with the seventh chapter of the powers of the general assembly of the united nations nations and therefore could require other countries to cooperate with them only in the security council can impose a veto such a court could be created by the general assembly and the more votes for such a decision, the greater the trust in him, in my opinion, it would be better if it was connected with ukrainian legislation, and why one more opinion on this matter, and the opinion of a very important center for civil liberties, an organization that received the nobel peace prize this weekend yes, for a second yes, we are on the phone, these are the conditions, uh, mykhailo savva, uh, expert

of the center for civil liberties, i congratulate you, uh, i hope you hear, uh, we hear you, it's great , let's start with responsibility and justice. in particular, the topic that your colleague from the center for civil liberties oleksandra matviychuk raised in her speech at the nobel peace prize ceremony, what are the mechanisms in international justice that can bring those who have unleashed an aggressive war to justice and ensure justice for the victims of war, there are several such mechanisms i would say not only about international mechanisms, because the international mechanisms have an additional character, the main role here will be played by the national ukrainian justice system, the main burden will be

precisely on the ukrainian law enforcement agencies. but there are such very important mechanisms as the international criminal court, which already works in ukraine. i think that it will investigate a few a-a cases, well, there may be up to 20 cases, but it will be of great importance because it is an international permanent operating structure it is very professional and we need an international tribunal. as already mentioned, it is unlikely that this can be done by a decision of the united nations, because only the security council must make a decision, and there is russian veto, but it is possible to create an international tribunal as a treaty of several countries, in addition, it already

works. such a mechanism as universal jurisdiction , that is, some countries are already investigating war crimes committed in ukraine by the russian aggressor , it works, but it is necessary to bring it all to another , higher level of coordination i have two clarifications, and the first is that if we talk about the national judiciary or national legislation, then the leaders of another country should be convicted under national legislation. as far as i i understand that it is impossible because they have immunity, but with regard to such a tribunal ed hawk under some kind of treaty, how to make it work even if, let's say, russia becomes a party to this

treaty hello yes yes yes you are bad to hear okay i have a question about how to do so that this er-er possible ed hawk tribunal er-er works even if russia does not become a party to this treaty, it can investigate in absentia, can approve sentences and can prosecute people who will all become criminals with these sentences. i am sure that this is so and there will be no hope that russia will extradite putin or anyone else. but this does not mean that they cannot be prosecuted. thank you very much for your opinion of the

expert center for civil liberties, mykhailo sava . thank you again. the head of the ukrainian center for civil liberties, oleksandra matviychuk, the wife of the belarusian activist oles bliatskyi, who is currently behind bars, and the representative of the russian human rights center, the memorial jan , were awarded the peace prize rachinsky and in the past almost 10 months since russian soldiers invaded ukraine, despite a significant advantage at the beginning of the forced mobilization announced later, the russians have suffered several painful defeats and have not achieved any goal in this war. putin insists everything is going according to plan, but there is more and more evidence that many russians refuse to fight with the muscovites, our editor rozumberg spoke with military personnel and their relatives, as well as met with activists to hear how the russian repressive machine forces people to go to war and what does it do to those who refuse to

go there, the official line of the kremlin is that russians believe that the war in ukraine is a noble cause and they are ready to die for it, but after 10 months of fighting , not all soldiers think so serhiy agreed to tell me about his son stas, we changed their names to protect them, his son was sent to ukraine, but he refused to fight there, he told me that it would be difficult for him to make this decision, i answered that it is better to dare to do this this is not our war, this is not a war for liberation, he said i i will write in writing that i refuse to fight with him and others. those who refused to fight had their weapons taken away and taken into custody. sergey went to the front line in ukraine to free his son. in the end, stas

was returned to russia, and then it became clear how terrible his detention was as a russian soldier tried to force him . they beat him to fight, and they took him out to the yard, as if for execution, they forced him to lie on the ground and ordered him to count to ten, he refused, then they beat him on the head with a pistol , he told me that his face was disfigured he was threatened with blood that they would kill him if he did not go with them, but someone offered to take him to work in a warehouse. but there are other stories, this group of mobilized people was locked in a cellar, the basements turned into a dungeon for those who refuse to fight, human rights activists say that such cases reflect the pressure that russian soldiers are under in ukraine from their own commanders is just a method it's just a method to get people to go back hug they did n't leave because they had any high

moral convictions but they stuck to it swamps under shells, abandoned, they saw how the leadership treats them, how everyone spits on them , some of the russian soldiers refuse to return to the front, sometimes it is a moral choice, but for many others who know from their own experience how terrible the battlefield can be, it is just an attempt to stay alive later i talked to the mother of the russian lieutenant and her son told her that he and four other officers were thrown into the basement for refusing to obey the order to advance. they had not been seen for the past 5 months. later they told me that the building in which they were kept, they were fired upon and all five went missing, they told me that their bodies were not there either. it is absurd, the way they treated my son was illegal and inhumane. russia caused a lot

of pain to ukraine, but it also causes it to its own people. my son said i never thought that my own country would treat him like this, people do not understand the danger we are in, not because of the other side, but because of our own. but in this war, the kremlin demands total support. and in the new ninth package of sanctions of the european union predicting restrictions against workers of russian propaganda changes and artists close to the kremlin, the european commission announced a new package of sanctions for russia's unleashed war, a week earlier it must be approved by the eu council itself . no, at least that's what the head of eu diplomacy, josep burel, said to a journalist. hungary opposed the planned new package

of anti-russian sanctions. the european union's sanctions policy is a failure and that until the new era, until now, they have brought the decision-making process in europe and the reaction to the war to a dead end. true, boris hopes that the sanctions will be approved by the end of this week, and this is still a bigger story today search on our website vivc.ua on our pages in social networks we are on the air again tomorrow at 9 pm take care let's see how people who suffer from rheumatism and arthrosis live
