[000:00:00;00] a night vision device, its cost there is about uah 140,000, we bought two such devices, thermal imagers, we bought, well, if i'm not mistaken, there are seven of them, because at the beginning there was a very great need for drones, this is a very, very great need, it was five makiv volodymyr , these are good good drones that are currently serving at the place of the 77th battalion of the 102nd brigade , we express our gratitude for the help in the purchase of the e-e device of night vision and once again thanks to the community of the forest hlibychchyna who participated in the purchase of this device for a better diesel engine i created a joint chat there already, mr. one and a half thousand participants are dumped there. all messages about the needs of fighters and the next collection or it was easier to coordinate volunteer work in each direction. they fixed a separate person of metals in the rural battalion . he is responsible for the delivery of cars from abroad . the entrepreneur has free time. i can help.
4:31 am
therefore, i think that everyone who is not there in the east is not fighting, we must unite now , there are probably even more of them with an ensemble of pipers , when the rehearsals are over in the club, ivan becomes involved in volunteering here, we have such a there is a small warehouse here, socks, gloves, hygiene products, t-shirts, various sleeping bags, and there will continue to be every day from then on, every day we will open cultures, and there is a box, only a box, they should throw these funds and bring something for us, for the boys, that ’s all here, they leave everything when they leave to the east, our cars
4:32 am
are going to the east, we are sorting here, we put more and more for everyone and we all say that you are not alone there, who could , who slaughtered a pig, someone, some kind of stew, someone , a bun, what, who can, the plane is in stock, never there is no such thing as empty, and all this, as the villagers say, is a craft product, we started baking cookies ourselves, we have a bakery so small , we only make stew at one time, more than 2,000 cans , we wound up 250 easter funds in the village, although there are far fewer of us, we distributed to everyone whom we met on there in the east there are 3 dozens of self-made gas stoves, hundreds of dangerous candles, all this is also already at the front in lesny khlybychyna, even the children are not left behind, they take an example from the elders and do
4:33 am
what they can, in particular, they gather after lessons in a group and put up camouflage nets, and when all the orders from the devils have already been collected, all the parcels are packed, they have to be delivered to the home of hostilities, and this is also organized by the villagers themselves, mykhailo, well, mykhailo , there are volunteers, well, every month, you can say that it is nice to see the people of your fellow villagers here, you understand well, with those that you , comrade slava, are coming as if some part of the village was really passing by you, and if you take it as a whole , it has already been up to 20 trips to us, i had a list of our soldiers we communicate with them we are constantly calling ivan, we are going in this direction, so-and-so , and there is no difference whether it is necessary to drive 100 km or 50 to get to it, they try to go to each one like this, how do you start, for example, do not start from the south of odessa and so on up here
4:34 am
there to kharkiv, they all try to get around everyone in non-track week. for 1.5 weeks, there are guys here, but they try to get around everyone. ivan hasn't been home for several months, he came to take the car that the compatriots bought for his unit to the front, i called the guys to our volunteers i called that we really need an evacuation car, i was even surprised that they had collected the attachments in a small period of time and ran, so i came to pick them up on purpose. and this is the one they bought. i didn't think that it would be so soon. well, maybe one day something will somehow happen. and so we forgot, and here she is. literally two sundays later, they called and said that i'm ready . now i'm coming, and i'm bursting with pride for of ours are tearful who bought this car. the most they ask for is support, support because then they understand what they have, why are they standing there, this
4:35 am
car is going to the front line here in lisny khlybychyny, they are already opening the next big collection, they need another car for daughters of 65 people - this is almost everyone from the village, a relative somewhere, a friend somewhere, just an acquaintance and they serve because, well, everyone understands that this is done for their own motivation - this is the biggest thing is that we all know each other and understand that we give simply money and they are risking their lives, their lives in the fight for ukraine. so, the next order must be completed as soon as possible before easter, so as not to send the car to the front empty. give the fighters a search with festive goodies as a simba that they are waiting for them at home alive with victory zhanna durchak again auto us details
4:36 am
4:37 am
because of that, your spirit, the strength of your spirit is like light this is the light of the whole world. i pray that it will be bright enough to lead you through this darkness. we must invest everything in the ukrainian people. all my heart is with the ukrainians. i am here in ukraine. it is impossible to believe how terrible the situation is in ukraine. i want to say that i am close to the ukrainian people. with ukrainians , the heart is in ukraine, we should help as much as possible i am very proud of the ukrainian people , this war will be finished, it must be won the fourth one, i am absolutely sure that they will win small and medium-sized businesses in ukraine now i need support because there is a job
4:38 am
, a grant program for the creation and development of a business, it helps those who want to grow and those who are just starting out, it gives opportunities to those who have the skills, the main thing is to be ready to work and create such an opportunity for others, submit an application and a business plan get a grant and work in ukraine because there is work government grant program for entrepreneurs there is work there is work diegov.ua for the development of your business the history of ukraine is written in the courts why is it so important to prove that genocide the whole world will hear our voices, collective responsibility or putin's responsibility, this is a system. and the issue of the tribunal has already been resolved. olga reshetilova, human rights defender, co-founder and coordinator of the public organization media initiative for human rights, in
4:39 am
2014 she was the coordinator of the fund povrnesh zhim , she was responsible for the cooperation of the fund with law enforcement structures and directly with the forces of the anti-terrorist operation. currently, olga reshetilova and mitl collect evidence and investigate war crimes committed by the russian federation against ukraine , conduct international advocacy for the prosecution of the responsibility of criminals as well as the release of prisoners of war and civilian hostages held by russia olya vitaya hello today we will talk about war crimes and the tribunal about punishment, how much more likely it becomes, at what point are we already reality, what remains in theory but we start with today's news, the international commission of the un published a report on war crimes i want to quote russian authorities committed a wide range of violations of international law in the field of human rights and international humanitarian law in various regions of ukraine
4:40 am
but at the same time, the head of the commission, eric musse, stated at the press conference that currently no evidence of russia's genocide has been found in the investigation of human rights violations in ukraine . how do you evaluate such un statements? first of all, regarding the report itself, i want to say that it is a good report for ukraine, it is good because a large number of russian crimes are recorded there, they are classified there and the transfer and deportation of children is also mentioned, which is very important for ukraine now, the holding of civilian hostages is also mentioned there, they are not called civilians there hostages, but actually described the system of detaining activists, the place of representatives of the local authorities as one of the ways to break the resistance and ukrainians and that they receive the so-called incommunicado, that is, without providing information to their relatives and a lawyer about the place of their detention, the conditions of detention, and so on , that is, in general, the report is good war crimes and crimes against humanity are mentioned there. genocide is not mentioned there. the head of the commission only answered the questions
4:41 am
of journalists during the press conference and noted that they did not find signs of genocide. i would like to point out that this is an imperfect form of the verb and it is not excluded that they will still find signs of genocide and because they note in the report itself and at the press conference that the investigations will be continued because they did not get access to the occupied territories and they still managed to cover a lot of me, why this report is a gathering in ukrainian society and why is this phrase about the fact that no signs of genocide have been found? so it affected ukrainians and i want to say that this is a consequence of our inflated expectations. the signs of genocide are very specific. yes, it is against a-a national group a, against a religious or racial group, in our case we can prove that genocide is committed specifically against a national group, which is ukrainians. we cannot because genocide is committed against a political nation, that is, it is not a genocide, crimes are committed
4:42 am
against a political nation that includes different nationalities . representatives of different religions, representatives and even different racial groups for russians - these are crimes against ukrainians, one of the tools of waging war, that is, breaking our resistance, and it is extremely difficult to prove it purely legally some of the signs that we see as human rights defenders, for example, the placement of children by rapists, this may be a sign. however, this also needs to be proven . we, as a member of the human rights initiative , have been collecting information for several months about the deportation, adoption, or removal of ukrainian children to the territory of russia. we are aware of separate the facts about this are very scrupulous work in order to prove the systematicity of the message in the media, unfortunately, are not evidence either for our national court or for
4:43 am
the international criminal court or for of the un commission, all these messages must be checked. the information must be verified. this is a long, scrupulous process that is taking place. i want to reassure ukrainian society that this process is taking place. what is the difficulty? russia can hide that it is saving a child, or what arguments can they make, for example, if it is an evacuation. children for the sake of their health and safety well, let's say from under shelling or in if there hm , for example, there is no heating in the city, there are no basic conditions for life, then they can to present as help to children as evacuation let's say so, besides, well, russia does not provide any information about those children. we do not have registers, and the problem here is that ukraine does not have such a register of those children who were in residential institutions in the homes of family for example, there are guardians who, let’s say, also left for reparations in the occupied territory or in the territory of russia, or who
4:44 am
now refuse to take these children and without their participation. with the signs and composition of the crime of genocide simply requires a tremendous amount of work, so i would not throw my slippers at the un commission, they really did a lot, why is it so important to prove that genocide, frankly speaking, to me as a human rights defender, not so much this is fundamental , but it is obvious to society that genocide looks like no it is indeed the most serious crime among all international crimes . i will remind you that there are four types. yes, these are war crimes, crimes against humanity - this is a crime of genocide, and actually crimes of aggression, the one that is most obvious now are crimes against of humanity a-a that is, these are those crimes where systematicity is proven, so where mass they are not less serious, for example, war crimes - these
4:45 am
can be some a-a well, let's say individual cases that we can investigate, yes, they are just as serious crimes but in the case of crimes against humanity the crime of genocide. and we are also talking about the responsibility of the highest military and political leadership of the russian federation, and this is extremely important . that is, it is extremely important for us to prove that what russia is doing is an individual case simply murders, for example, deportations of ukrainians and so on, this is the systemic policy of the russian federation, and i think that from this point of view, genocide is important and our evidence of genocide is important to our state. at the moment, such cases can be considered in the international criminal court of the international criminal court, but the international criminal court is the international criminal court, and they are frankly pro they say it won't take more than 10 episodes to investigate so all this and all this array
4:46 am
of fssi crimes the scope falls on the shoulders obviously of our national law enforcement agencies and they will have to investigate it all or we can to create some other mechanisms and options that would help to investigate, because to date 74,000 facts of war crimes have been recorded by our prosecutor's office, and we understand that this is far from the limit, a huge number of territories have not yet been liberated, and it is obvious from every liberation that this number is unfortunately is growing and growing, the question of the tribunal would arise how to assess as a human rights defender where we stand and what options are the best and why the ukrainian state has decided for itself so far that it is promoting a tribunal on the crime of aggression and this tribunal, which is purely for the crime of aggression, does not provide for the investigation of other crimes, crimes against humanity, war crimes, or if we want to prove genocide, and when we talk about the fact that by creating a tribunal, we
4:47 am
will bring to justice all war criminals - this is a little manipulation that once again creates inflated expectations in ukrainian society, because the tribunal for the crime of aggression is the tribunal that investigates the simplest , most obvious crime - russia's aggression against ukraine, and in which they will be brought to responsibility we hope the highest leadership of the russian federation. i understand that this is being done in order to get out of this case when the international immunity of the same putin will not allow him to be convicted in absentia. at the beginning of march, there was a big conference in lviv united fugestis, it was also called the legal rammstein and during this conference, the sense of historicity did not leave me because, first of all, there was a very high level of representation: president zelenskyi was the president of latvia, the prosecutor of the international criminal court, in addition to khan
4:48 am
the attorney general of the united states, the head of eurojust and many, many other officials responsible for global justice will speak like this. and in their speeches and in their words, only one issue of the tribunal was already resolved. and now we are only talking about models of how to build this model as best as possible. to cover as many crimes as possible, like me, we talk about it as defenders, i emphasize that we should not forget the interests of the victims in this whole process, but the fact is the fact that the issue of the tribunal has already been decided. and many say that it is in in principle, it is unprecedented while the conflict is still going on, and justice is already starting , and i really like the leadership of ukraine, these discussions, we need justice. what is the achievement of justice, and this means that everything must be perfectly legally sculpulous, and without us
4:49 am
being accused of it later that we, as winners , simply judge the losers. i would very much like a full-fledged trial according to all standards, so that this trial cannot be undermined, so that all the facts, all the positions of the parties, and the right are ensured for the protection of criminals and for victims and victims to be able to participate in this new process to give them a voice so that they can tell their story it should be historical in history and be different and that is but it seems to me that this is the one that we are creating yes we are planning to create it. it should be so unprecedented that the whole world will be watching when the whole world hears our voices, the voices of ukrainians, but at the same time it should be preventive for the future, because now we
4:50 am
are not only talking about our interests, ukraine which is now taking the lead in all processes , must speak about the interests of the whole world, and it was very interesting that in december we were at the assembly of states participating in the international criminal court where cases on rwanda are being considered , for example, on afghanistan, palestine and many others, and it was very felt do you know such a jealous attitude towards ukraine because there is a lot of attention to ukraine now because a lot of money has been allocated in ukraine for the investigation because uh hm now they have forgotten about other conflicts in the world and everyone is talking about ukraine i don't know what our ukrainian delegation tried to convey to the representatives of other countries, and that we are not competitors .
4:51 am
the second is to prevent such conflicts in the future. so that no aggressor could commit crimes in the future because he knew what was waiting for him. before the genocide, the goal here is the extermination of an entire people, he is 79 years old, justice found him in the dock, and when you said for the tribunal that it would be a trial for the crimes of the top leadership, and the propagandists are russian propagandists, will they be brought to justice how realistic is this? it is very interesting, and my colleague oksana romanyuk from the institute of mass information is actively involved in this, and she herself is one of those people who
4:52 am
was very affected by this phrase. the un because it is its team. like yours, it is precisely engaged in collecting evidence on calls for genocide, and they have a huge volume of information about how russian propagandists actually call for crimes against ukrainians. i want to say that calls for genocide and genocide are different types of crimes and in the ukrainian courts there are already cases of calls for genocide, they are already being considered by the ukrainian courts, in particular, regarding some russian propagandists, ah, i highly recommend that you follow this, and it is interesting, and actually draw this thread from calls for genocide until the genocide itself, it is also a very difficult job if someone takes it on. well, maybe it is a promising media initiative. you are your team. oksana romanyuk. you collect evidence .
4:53 am
will this evidence be considered purely? we are trying to work with the mechanism of universal jurisdiction, this is when and in third countries, it is possible to open an implementation, initiate an investigation, it is a very complicated process , few countries agree to this, but for us , for example, germany seems promising where there have already been similar processes in syria. and here we are transferring to our national bodies of the legal order and to the international criminal court and the same commissions, we also transferred information and data. can also be used by our law enforcement agencies and the international criminal court, and we are now registering all these facts recorded by us en masse in this database , for example, legal force; in order for them to receive legal force, they must be the result of an investigation and accepted by the court as proper evidence, and why are you doing it? we hope that
4:54 am
they will be used as such and that they will be later accepted by judicial and law enforcement agencies, plus, we show the investigation in which direction to move the loss of a ukrainian serviceman who , before his death, said glory to ukraine to remove on the video with criminals, murderers, russians , how many such crimes were committed not on camera, let's not record the number of such shootings and sufferings, and this is a very complicated story, in fact, we are recording our the organization of cases of murders and deaths of prisoners of war in captivity and at present, we actually have few of them recorded , not because they are few, but because it is extremely difficult to get information about these facts, in principle , it is practically impossible to get access to our prisoners of war, no one can, even to the international committees of the red cross
4:55 am
yes, that is, it is all extremely difficult, but i want to say that the practice of murders and extrajudicial torture of ukrainian prisoners of war by the russians is not new. it has been since the 14th year, i want to remind the red partizan a.a. debaltseve and other cases, we are still investigating the case of roman bezpalyo - he is a serviceman of the 58th brigade who was captured and wanted in the 19th year in a group of seven servicemen . then, after long negotiations in minsk, he was handed over to the ukrainian side but uh, above such details, there are absolutely no internal organs, that is, it was impossible to establish the cause of death according to our investigation, we have not published it yet because there are a lot of facts that need to be checked, but uh, we found information about that he was strangled in the so-called preskhat, that is, he didn't do something there, the russians wanted him, did he somehow, as they said , behaving impudently, and so they
4:56 am
sent him and actually killed him there, and at least we have such cases today day, i literally looked at this sign this morning, where do we enter information, this does not mean that this is proof of facts , but we currently have 15 pieces of information about the murder, only since february 24 we know about the death of a soldier of the 36th brigade in a deer park, for example. and well, there are other cases that is, but we do not know the exact number we cannot currently verify this information because it is extremely closed. but at the same time we can state that such facts exist and that russia massively violates the rights of our prisoners of war. you see in what condition they return from captivity and they keep them there in humane conditions. they practically do not have access to food or basic hygienic conditions there. well, i am already silent about the fact that almost every prisoner of war comes because of torture
4:57 am
in 2019 russia withdrew its signature under the additional document on the protection of the victim aggressions were being prepared, that is, this is the systematic implementation of violations of all the rights of people and prisoners of war and civilian prisoners, this is actually proof that they were preparing for this full-scale invasion and for these crimes, and this can be proof that this is not just a nation it's hard to choose the words, it's a nation of beasts, and orders are given. politics, it's the state policy of the russian federation, to commit crimes against the civilian population, to commit crimes against the competent people who were captured, and we started studying before february 24. quasi legal systems created by russia in the occupied territories and this is a very interesting story. well, first of all, because it helped us to predict what will happen in the newly
4:58 am
occupied territories, because the mass detention of civilians and their holding as hostages has been a practice since the 14th year and in the crimea and in the occupied donbas. but it is also interesting that russia created these quasi-organizations in order to commit some crimes with their hands , for example, and then they will not be able to blame the fact that it is not them. with 14th year to prove the effective control of the russian federation over these entities and why we actually started this study because some international organizations even before february 24th, as early as january 22nd year, they told us that they did not see signs of effective russian control in the occupied territories and that's exactly why we started this study and talked about the fact that there are courts created there that are completely under the control of the russians, where russians are appointed as leaders , the russians used these quasi-
4:59 am
entities of theirs to do what they don't they can do it themselves, as if they don't care. well, let's say, for example, in the so-called dnr , the death penalty was introduced, they do it , well, first of all, for their internal audience, and secondly, to stir us up, that is, they count on they are counting on our reaction to demoralize us. in this way, but here it is important not to stop, you know, the pressure on russia because we had a precedent when they wanted to set up courts in mariupol, remember they built cages there and wanted to try the azov people and only extreme pressure of the international community, and forced them, well, something there, so that they could be cursed in the heads, eh, that in principle, it is not possible to do so, and they did not conduct these trials, although with our information, the vessel, yes, we are such that they continue simply that they are not public crimes that committed
5:00 am
in the occupied territory , how realistic is it to gather evidence of the shootings of civilians , for example, on the road to the crime scene? there is so much in the occupied territory, although in the occupied territories they also destroy traces of crimes. well, for example , the drama theater itself. the traces of crimes have already been destroyed there , for example, after the shooting of civilians on the highway , the front line has moved back and forth so many times that we we are afraid that all these crimes. unfortunately, i apologize . unfortunately, all these evidences have been destroyed, so it is extremely important to record them as soon as possible in the first stages. it is extremely important
