[000:00:00;00] maybe they overdid it a little bit or maybe it wasn’t exactly what they meant by that, there are different journalists and he is right and you know here i think that we really need to think first of all about our military commanders and our government because we get information from them and believe them in what the military says, because if we pay attention to such diverse articles, well, it will really sow panic among us, some doubts in people after all , you know, many people say in these studios of ours that we should be united and i it seems like a year of this full-scale war, it's exactly about that, because only we need each other to save this country , but really, all these countries that you mentioned are waiting for ukraine to win here. good evening on the air, the devils from ukraine live from london

i'm yevgenia shadlovskaya, today we will talk about how western countries are strengthening the ukrainian army's ability to prepare for the great counteroffensive and showed the moment of the collision once again secreted a video from their drone that russian fighter jets intercepted over by the black sea, cameras were installed on the railway in poland, they exposed a network of russian spies who wanted to disrupt the supply of weapons to ukraine, so let's start with the news about weapons for ukraine, first of all, poland promises to hand over four mig-29 fighter jets in the coming days, this was announced by president aje and duda the second results of the tenth meeting in the rammstein format, the ukrainian authorities call optimistic, as president zelensky stated , ammunition, artillery, tanks for the protection of the ukrainian sky, all this was discussed and there are

solutions, the ukrainian army is being strengthened for of the upcoming counteroffensive and what is interesting is that the western media are writing about it according to the american publication, the politico of kyiv region has decided on a strategy, there are two main possibilities to advance south through kherson to the crimea, the publication claims that this option is unrealistic because russia has strengthened its defenses on the eastern bank of the dnieper and ukraine will not have enough forces for a successful amphibious operation, and the second option is to strike along the land corridor to crimea, which may be more successful, these are the assumptions of the american media and contact us military expert officer of the armed forces of ukraine andriy kramarov mr. andriy congratulates sofia if we talk about the ukrainian counter-offensive, what in general does the armed forces need for success, what kind of weapons, what kind of training of fighters today , the most important thing is to get enough armored vehicles, which as you already know, it began to reach our armed forces, it is also very important

to provide all this equipment with a sufficient amount of ammunition, this was the last meeting within the framework of rammstein, this is the 10th rammstein in order for a very short period of time to provide us with a quantity of weapons, namely weapons or supplies that will allow the armed forces of ukraine to very effectively and quickly move into the counteroffensive. uh, types of weapons, these are first of all mig nine planes, and extremely fast transfer to us uh, of modern western planes - these are the f16 type and eurofighter

typhoon, and the training of our pilots in the shortest possible time terms well, the representatives of the united states, they previously stated, for example, defense minister austin, that ukraine cannot waste time , what window of opportunity is there for a counterattack in theory. look, this window of opportunity will open in us, first of all, from the factor that we, which we talked about only that this is providing us with the full range of weapons , and secondly, it is certain achievements of certain weather conditions that will allow, for example , ground troops and armored vehicles to advance quickly, efficiently and quickly forward and the third factor that is currently achieved by our fighters on the battlefield, namely the normal reduction of the enemy's fighting capacity, the accumulation of equipment and manpower of the enemy, today there was also news that the mobilization company was activated again last week in russia

, accordingly, our window will be like this when the next wave of mobilization, which has now begun, and these fighters will not have time to reach the front line, they are equipped with weapons equipment and are already sufficiently prepared if we talk about forces reports that the russians continue to storm bakhmut and russia is preparing to restore the next vugledar together with those from we have seen american think tanks, the institute for the study of war believe that the russian offensive has generally slowed down. in the direction of bakhmut in the direction of avdiyivka is their attack on the liberated, although the main reason for this is not only let's just say a certain exhaustion and lack of methods and means in the army of our

enemy, also in this, effective counteroffensive actions, which at a certain operational and tactical level took place in the last 48 hours, both in the bakhmut direction, a very good counterattack took place in the avdiiv direction well , the effective active defense in the direction of e-e crime svatov continues, as for ugledar , the enemy in the direction of vugledar is now necessary it is quite important to carry out rotation and equipping with equipment, since their previous assault attempt cost them a lot , both in terms of manpower and equipment, and if you focus on what is happening in bahmuti this is what it is like there today, the situation there is extremely difficult

a-a was carried out last week er-e rotation of the armed forces of ukraine now er in fact, it is fighting that is taking place in clear cities within its borders a-and accordingly, the battles are very heavy there now actively the work is performed by our special operations forces, which, in principle , manage to be very effective. despite the small distances, they adjust our artillery and also deter the enemy precisely on the outskirts, if you look at all the maps of the open analytical centers of many western analytical centers then we can see that despite the continuing very active assault actions over the last week, what the enemy is throwing there is the best that he has left, both in terms of the qualifications of his personnel and

in terms of the quality of the equipment, it was not possible to achieve any significant successes in in principle, this is a line that is simply, well, in fact , a line of confrontation, on which no effective advances , neither in the south nor in the north of the city of bakhmut , the enemy was able to reach, although again, in the last week, it cost him a lot of effort and losses. thank you, sir andriyu andriy kramarov, a military expert, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, was in touch with us. the united states released a video of a collision between russian fighter jets and an american drone over the black sea. the video confirms their version. you can see how the su-27 approaches the drone, then it seems to dump fuel, and it repeats itself again. then the image disappears and you can see that one of the propellers of the drone is bent. the representatives of the united states said that the russian fighter jet hit their

drone. it was a mk-9 reaper drone . the representatives of russia said that there was no collision. and now they are trying to retrieve the wreckage of the drone from the black sea, the us administration said that it would be extremely difficult to do this and that any valuable information from the drone had already been erased in russia , they say that the american tron did not observe the flight restriction zone that they established through the so-called special operation, that is, because war against ukraine , the united states say that their aircraft was in a neutral zone and that they will continue to fly wherever international law allows, the video that was declassified to the pentagon for less than a minute, while the confrontation, as previously stated, lasted 30-40 minutes, what will be the consequences of the incident? and this is the first such clash between russia and the united states after the full-scale invasion of ukraine

. they say sharp and emergency maneuvering, but in fact we can see all the maneuvers on this video. this is a live broadcast from the drone that is sent to the control center, it was edited by the same us we see an incomplete recording, as far as i remember, the united states stated that the entire interaction of the planes with the drone lasted 30-40 minutes, but during the first approach of the russian plane, you see how it performs this extreme maneuver to dump fuel on the drone, who knows why it does this, maybe to interfere sensors work or you even have to the drone falls and then we see another event when the plane passes even closer after that the video is interrupted and the next picture that we see already from the camera of the drone shows one of the propellers and it can be seen that its blade is bent

so this video confirms the words of the americans that there was an interaction between the russian planes and the drone, later the americans said that they had to fly the drone into the sea, but now they say that there is debris left at the bottom of the sea and it seems that it will be very difficult to get them. russia claims that the drone was approaching their territory their airspace but from the video that we saw it is impossible to determine its location because in reality we only see the sea and the sky but the americans say that this is international airspace and we know that nato countries, including the united states and britain, carried out terrible flights in the black sea region, there were also a number of incidents with the russians, and as the united states recently stated, due to the dangerous and unprofessional actions of russian pilots, but they are allowed to fly in international airspace, and the russians insist that this flight was in russian airspace is it too close to

it the consequences of this incident would have been more serious if the aircraft had been piloted and people were involved but i don't i think that the parties want to escalate this situation, because yesterday we received a very clear message from the minister of defense of the united states that they are not a party to the conflict and even though the united states supplies ukraine with weapons and american intelligence is also clearly on the side of ukraine, they do not take part in the conflict directly the west also does not want to directly intervene in the conflict with russia , but this case intensifies the tension, although at the moment i do not have the feeling that at least one side is seeking escalation in poland they exposed a network of alleged russian spies who wanted to disrupt the supply of weapons to ukraine, they report that they detained nine foreigners who received money from the russian special services and , in addition to monitoring the supply of weapons to ukraine, were preparing sabotage and shaking the political situation inside

poland, russia has not commented on the situation so far, this is the largest public detention of alleged russian spies for almost a year, and for the first time, it is about a systematic attempt to disrupt the supply of western weapons, which is so necessary for the announced counteroffensive of ukraine, my colleague halyna koroba joins to us from warsaw. so, have you been following today's statements by the polish authorities, what is known about the detainees and how they acted . greetings zhenya, ah, indeed, today it became known more about this operation, eh, very little, eh, we know exactly about those who were detained, and the polish the authorities very diplomatically reported that it was about foreigners from countries east of poland, at the same time in the belarusian mass media unofficially , with reference to sources, information appeared that there could be at least three citizens of belarus among those detained, but

this information was not officially commented on or confirmed in belarus, in poland, or in russia, according to the version of the polish special services , the detainees created such a spy network , they monitored and tracked the supply of weapons to ukraine and prepared sabotage to disrupt these supplies, it is about the fact that they installed hidden cameras in the polish border voivodeships not far from ukraine a-a, including the airport in the city of rzeszów, which is the largest hub of the e-e for the supply of weapons and military equipment for usually, it was from there that weapons were transported to ukraine by rail or large trucks, so people who are called spies in poland installed gps trackers and tracked supplies in this way

. polish security experts say that they could not only about sabotage on the territory of poland in order to block supplies, but also about the transfer of information to russia so that it can understand how ready ukraine is for a counterattack or even so that it can plan some missile strikes in order to destroy this weaponry well, disrupting the supply of weapons to ukraine is one of the activities of these russian spies according to the version of the polish special services, in addition, they are also accused of destabilization inside poland. the goals of the a-a network were destabilization of the internal situation e-e and above all destabilization of ukrainian-polish relations e-e i.e. e-e using propaganda tools some informational leaks a-e people who were detained in

poland as claimed by the special services should have to incite such hostile moods of disagreement among polish citizens in relation to poland's nato allies and in relation to ukraine in general, to ukrainians who are in poland and to the policy of the polish government in relation to ukraine, a policy aimed at maximum support well, this is not the first such espionage the scandal in poland since the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine , as a whole, poland is protecting itself from the actions of russian special services, as noted in the polish special services, the polish law enforcement agencies, uh, really had to to intensify the work because of the war in ukraine literally in march, right after the start of the war in poland, they detained, that is

, they exposed a network of 45 russians who were supposedly diplomatic employees but were carrying out espionage actions they were expelled from poland, russia in response expelled 45 polish diplomats, and after that there were also isolated cases of detentions, but the operation we are talking about today is the largest in this time, because it is not about diplomacy , it is about people who were really detained and which may be threatened by real terms, the polish special services say that in general polish citizens should be more responsible and even literally today they published such a list of tips for citizens on how not to become recruited by the russian special services. that is, they advise to be more careful in the network on the internet and with strangers and especially be careful if polish citizens go to

russia or to countries that are allies of russia thank you galina korba bbc correspondent in warsaw and the first report was published of the special commission on ukraine regarding war crimes, the commission found that russia committed numerous war crimes in ukraine during the full-scale invasion, it is about murder, sexual violence, torture , deportation of children, russian attacks on energy infrastructure and the use of torture can be equated to crimes against humanity, so goes the report and this the report was announced on the anniversary of the russian attack on the drama theater in mariupol. and what is significant is that today in russia, in khabarovsk , a military man who confessed to the murder was sentenced a civilian in the occupied territory of ukraine, but was convicted of spreading pro-russian army fakes. he was given a conditional sentence of five and a half years. the case against the russian soldier was broken when he told the media about the killing of civilians in the village of andriyivka, kyiv region at the beginning of the russian invasion and contacted us human rights activist head

of the center for civil liberties oleksandra matviychuk mr. oleksandr welcomes you on the air, let 's start with this verdict of the court in khabarovsk , just one episode of war crimes by russian of the military, which the russian court considers fake, but how the data collected during this russian investigation can be used in the future work of the tribunal regarding russian crimes in ukraine . during the weeks of occupation, the russian troops caused so much trouble to the civilian population . until now, we will continue to collect evidence and data about the crimes that were committed and the fact that the court in russia, if you can call it a court condemned the russian serviceman not

for committing these actions, but for what he says about what the russian army was doing in this territory, well, this is very telling. this is absolutely in line with the position of putin, who, after the shocking information about the murders and rapes in buch, awarded the military with the distinction of the unit that stood and if can we talk about the current stage of the creation of this future tribunal regarding russia's war against ukraine, it will be one big court, it will be a series of courts, if you are still in touch with us, we will talk about it we are talking about 4 types of international crimes, war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and crimes of aggression, and ukraine is promoting the idea of ​​creating a special court on aggression to bring putin, the political military command of the russian state, to

justice, because currently there is no international court that has jurisdiction over the crime of aggression in our country in fact, there is a gap that needs to be filled, and in order to fill it , a tribunal needs to be specially created, you already mentioned how human rights defenders collected evidence in the same andriivka in in the kyiv region, how the process of collecting these testimonies goes in general, it depends very much on the region, because we have built an all-ukrainian network of documenters together with our partners, the kharkiv human rights group, the ukrainian helsinki human rights union, and dozens of regional organizations, and our ambitious goal is to document every criminal episode. which happened to the smallest village of each oblast, and here it is clear that there are oblasts that were under occupation and there we can collect testimonies from

people who became victims or witnesses such crimes as kidnapping, illegal detention, sexual violence, intentional murders. and there are areas that were subjected to missile attacks, and the russian troops themselves did not reach there, but purposefully destroyed or objects of energy infrastructure, or russian missiles hit residential buildings , kindergartens, schools, hospitals, etc. therefore , the very strong work of documentarians depends on the region in which he or she works. well , the territory that remains occupied or is it possible to collect evidence about war crimes that were committed there, we manage to collect evidence, our network covers all regions of ukraine

, including the occupied ones, it is clear that other rules and security protocols apply there, it is clear that we only see the tip of the iceberg and it is very difficult to celebrate everything that is happening in the occupied territories, but i will remind you that we live in a digital e-e dimension, now ordinary people have a great opportunity to document crimes by simply taking photos and videos, not all of them will reach us, but some of them will definitely become available sooner or later a national or international investigation also has other digital tools that allow you to track what is happening, for example, the same satellite images and many other things, but for future trials , which we talked about, will it be possible to assemble this chain of a specific crime, a specific russian military officer, who committed it, the command, the problem because

there are a lot of such crimes, only officially the general prosecutor's office has opened 67,000 criminal proceedings, so you can imagine that this is such a number with this volume it is difficult to cope even with the best office of the general prosecutor's office in the world during the war, so the problem is that if we now have the opportunity to theoretically track the situation, reconstruct it and take the necessary actions to identify the culprits in the case, then when there are many such cases, we need to involve workers we need international investigators

, international prosecutors and international judges to strengthen the capacity of the national system to conduct investigations. plasma on the air and finally japan and south korea are getting closer against the background of threats from their neighbors the leaders of the countries met for the first time in 12 years and a few hours before their meeting north korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile it fell into the sea of ​​japan outside the territorial waters of japan this video is just what we saw made public by the ministry of defense of japan between south korea and japan there is a long-standing tension in relations bbc correspondent shaima khalil in tokyo will explain why these relations are changing now this signals a new beginning in relations between japan and south korea after many years of tension. the summit is taking place at a very important moment not only for the two countries but also for the entire region. the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile by north korea showed why tokyo and seoul should act as a united front from a strategic point of view it is very important that the two countries face common

threats and the development of pyongyang's nuclear program and china's economic expansion and military ambitions, the countries must also restore bilateral trade which has virtually come to naught since relations deteriorated sharply due to their dispute over compensation for the days when japan bought the korean peninsula so there are many problems but both countries show that they are ready to turn the pages of a difficult history and work together in the face of the threats they face today and now let's look at this relationship from the point of view of south korea from the force passes correspondent jen mckenzie today south korea and japan seemed to try for the sake of their security to leave the past is behind the missile that north korea launched this morning became a frequent reminder. isu and tokyo realized that they will have a significant advantage if they share their intelligence and

work more closely together in the military field, so at the press conference or the leaders announced that they were going to restart cooperation in the security sector, it was also discussed on economic security south korea is trying to strengthen important revenue channels from japan to remain one of the most powerful semiconductor suppliers in the world and japan agreed to remove the relevant export restrictions, so there is progress, the leaders agreed that in the future they will meet more often and agreed, if not all, then many issues and this was a big step for them, and finally about ukrainian culture in britain, singers from the dnipro went on a tour of the country, soloists of the dnipro opera, choir , orchestra for almost a month live in a bus in order to tour as many british cities and towns as possible and present a ukrainian song to the correspondent sheep natalka goncharova talked to the artists in london and
