in this video, if you watch us on youtube or facebook , i say goodbye to you. i wish you good health. take care of yourself and your loved ones. goodbye. ukraine's position against russia in the international stadium due to the genocide convention. we will explain what this lawsuit is and why it is important. you are watching bbcineus ukraine live and from london. i am evgenia shidlovskaya. the ukrainian authorities went to court in the first days of the full-scale war, saying that russia twisted and distorted the concept of genocide when ukraine was unjustly accused of such actions and used this as an excuse

for the invasion, now the court determines whether to consider this case immediately, it is important to say that with this specific lawsuit , ukraine does not accuse russia of committing genocide, it accuses russia of violating the genocide convention, in fact, of distorting this concept in that russia declared an alleged genocide in donbas and used it as a pretext for a full-scale invasion, as explained by the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine at the time, russia made an absurd and unsubstantiated accusation of genocide against ukraine in order to create a false pretext for of its own aggression, ukraine filed a lawsuit to the un international court of justice located in the hague in the first days of the war on february 26, 2022. russia objected to this and declares that the court cannot consider this case, as of today , hearings have begun, based on the results of which the courts should decide whether to consider this case and more by the way, 32 countries supported ukraine in this lawsuit, all countries are in crimea, hungary , britain, liechtenstein, canada, new zealand , australia, their representatives will also speak at the hearing, and bbc correspondent anna

hooligan monitors the progress of the gas trial on the website of the highest court of the un. as you can see, it is also a popular tourist attraction. at the hearings that took place here today, lawyers from russia and ukraine presented the positions of the parties in court. of how russian tanks crossed ukrainian borders ukraine filed a lawsuit at the international court of justice of the united nations in the east of ukraine in order to try to justify what russia called a special military operation, the case was transferred to the international court of justice. and already a month later, in march 2022 , its judges issued an interim decision in which it was said that russia should stop all covert and open hostilities, and both

sides should avoid any what actions can escalate the situation so what is happening today is potentially a key moment because russia claims that the international court of justice does not have the appropriate jurisdiction to consider this case since the convention on genocide, according to which ukraine filed a lawsuit, does not refer to the use of force between states, this argument, which we heard today from russian lawyers, both countries, russia and ukraine , signed the convention on genocide. therefore, if the judge decides that they have the authority to consider this case, this will mean jurisdiction over by both countries, although according to the interim resolution, as you know, the hostilities are long. therefore, despite everything, she ignored the decision dated march 2022, and there is no authority for enforcement

so if the judges decide that they have the authority and if in the end it is obviously about the future because the proceedings can last several years, they will decide in favor of ukraine that russia used false claims of genocide to justify its full-scale invasion, then they still have no mechanisms to implement their decision, they could transfer this case to the security council, of course russia has the right of veto there, i talked to some experts in international law and they say that if the judges decide in favor of of ukraine this can help with any future reparations lawsuits from the victims, another interesting thing to keep in mind is the following days, when the representatives of the 32 countries that intervened in this case will deserve credit, they essentially supported the position of ukraine and will present their arguments, etc. what should be remembered is that a decision in any similar case in international justice creates a precedent

. therefore, any decision of the international court of justice can be used in other cases , for example in other cases of international to the criminal court, which is also in progress here, there is another case that is currently in dispute here in the international court with the participation of russia and ukraine , and we are talking more about this lawsuit with my colleague zhanna bezpyachuk zhanna, you generally follow international lawsuits of ukraine against russia, and this is not the first ukraine's lawsuit against russia in the un court is a lawsuit regarding the violation of the genocide convention, if the court takes it into consideration, what will it change if the un international court of justice really recognizes that it has jurisdiction over this dispute of ukraine against russia then a lot will change, and there is no doubt that the decision of the international court of justice of the united nations will affect the further lawsuits of ukraine against

russia as a state, as well as other legal proceedings in the international criminal court, for example , or in the international tribunal about the creation of which today ukraine negotiates with international partners. so, more specifically, it is essential for ukraine to achieve recognition in this very court, according to which 193 countries of the world , that is, countries of the un charter, that russia invaded ukraine on february 24, 2022 under on this pretext, in other words, she lied about the reasons for her invasion, they say that it was allegedly a genocide of the people of donbas or

the russian-speaking population of donbas. territory of donbas , russia supposedly has relevant evidence, but very quickly , the information about it disappeared, and russia did not provide any evidence even after the start of the large-scale invasion, and accordingly, why else this is important in addition to the fact that it is necessary to recognize that a lie is a lie if the very reason for the attack on ukraine is recognized as illegal officially and legally at the international level, which supports the legitimacy of the jurisdiction recognized by 193 countries of the world, then, accordingly , the war and all military actions of russia on the territory of ukraine a-a these are illegal actions today that are a challenge for ukraine as a state in the conditions of war

that russia manages to convince some people in latin america in the countries of this continent in the countries of the middle east in african countries through its e-e channels propaganda through its polutex software, i.e. through various cultural initiatives, etc. that it had reasons and the right to invade ukraine because it protected the offended enslaved people . it is not true that this is essentially a lie and the whole war is illegal, then legally and even politically it will be difficult for russia to oppose something in this one more important point

which follows from the beginning of the hearings in the international court of the un and that in fact the lawyers who represent russia and these are in particular lawyers from iran and china, that is, from those countries that today maintain friendly relations with russia they are trying to emphasize as much as possible that that russia exercised its right to self-defense, that it was a coup, not an attempt to prevent genocide in the donbass. and it invaded ukraine to protect itself from future aggression against itself , that is, what does this mean, in essence, that russia rejects the statements of its own president own minister of foreign affairs, who even two months before the large-scale invasion of ukraine spoke about the fact that genocide is being committed in donbas and that the people of donbas must be protected already in relation to this lawsuit, but

if in general it is that russia is committing genocide in ukraine, then in particular historian timati believes snyder and you just recently spoke with him about this and also about the ideology of modern russia, let's listen to what he said in that conversation with you, you previously pointed out a logical error, a certain logical error of the west er, if the west has an anti-fascist position and works with russia and russia works with the west, then russia cannot be a fascist state, then the world saw what happened on february 24, 2022, and ukraine officially recognized the ideology of the current russian palm as racism in your opinion, this recognition will continue to spread to the world in one form or another . how do you see the trend now? if not

, this is a logical contradiction. it is a human error. if a person really turns out to be a fascist, then i do not think well of myself because of the fact that i communicated with the same applies to genocide. russia is definitely committing genocide in ukraine, but people don't talk about it like that. one of the reasons why they don't say that is because they don't want to recognize it as genocide, because if it's genocide, they should do more. so it's more like moral corruption than a logical contradiction, besides, fascism is a very important concept. i am one of those who pay attention to fascist thinkers and fascist traditions in russia, as well as fascist methods of self-expression, which over time became more and more important for putin to the point that during of the current war, he said openly nazi things, people really have a certain fear of talking about it, saying that this is the truth about racism. better than the second year, i

wrote a large article in which i talked about racism as a manifestation of ukrainian lexical cultural creativity during the war. i think this term will have a long life. life in ukraine during a trip to the kherson region i talked to a wonderful woman who works on a local farm to refer to the russian occupiers, she used the word rashysti, this word is common in ukraine, i heard this word also from people abroad, but no one is completely sure what exactly it means in ukraine . this is an official term, but the government cannot introduce any official definition, because the word means what people put into it. in my opinion, the question is whether people will have the courage to say that russia is the fascist state believes that this is the real problem . i am personally hurt by the fact that many people with left-wing views, people who emphasize their anti-fascism, do not have the intellectual courage to admit that they are contemporaries of fascism

nowadays, there are simple people who can confirm that you are an anti-fascist, for example, buy first-aid kits or drones for ukrainian soldiers, or even just come to kyiv , spend money here and find friends. nowadays, it is very easy to be an anti-fascist, easyways. to what extent can the current war affect the world? is it global? wars, i interrogate the first and second world wars were also largely about the struggle for ukraine, many battles then took place in the same areas. this summer, i read memoirs about those wars where a lot was said about again, these same cities are heard or it was fought on the same fields for all these three wars, the geography of ukraine is important, the important food that ukraine possesses, the scale of suffering in ukraine today is unfortunately also close to what people experienced during the two world wars, but these three wars can be to compare for another reason the outcome

of the war who will win and who will lose and what order will be established after it will be of great importance in this sense this war can be compared with the world war already above those disneyler says much depends on how the war will end and this will determine what the punishment for russia will be. that's right, and what is very important to understand in this story is that the punishment for the specific leaders of russia will probably be achieved in another court, this is the international criminal court . thank you, zhanna, today we talked about international by the court that is considering the case based on the lawsuit of ukraine against russia regarding the violation of the convention on genocide, this is the end of our issue. see you tomorrow

influence is in the middle of the republic itself, as well as how the effect of the change of the chechen leader on the front of the russian-ukrainian war and on russia itself on the release of the ticks of the andriivka whale is evidence of long-term strategic success, however, the institute for the study of war believes that it is ukraine's efforts around the bakhmut, analysts believe that they are decisive in restraining russian forces in this direction and, as a result, the impossibility the russian occupiers to strengthen defense in the south, experts remind that such actions for the isuu in the bakhmut region at one time caused criticism from western politicians and the military at the same time units of two of the four airborne divisions and three of the four separate airborne brigades are forced to continue in the bakhmut region , so experts testify that the continuation of large-scale

counteroffensive efforts of ukraine around the bakhmut is really necessary in order to keep russian forces in this area. well , such a result at the front can be considered a tactical achievement strategic importance is summed up in the essence of the study of the war, i will add that the release of the tick south of bakhmut the day before was confirmed by president volodymyr zelenskyi and the 80th separate stormed brigade released footage from a ukrainian village liberated from the russian occupiers, in good health, we soldiers of the 80th separate airborne assault brigade, the fifth separate assault brigade of the separate joint assault brigade of the police, lyut e-e, completed the task, liberated the settlement of klyschivka , donetsk region from the russian occupiers , however, the enemy does not stop trying to seize

the battles for the tick code continued. during this time, the russian troops somehow changed their tactics in general . how would you describe this period for the people who were in the rear ? and that's two months of hard battles, eh, these are battles at a distance of 10-15 m, shooting battles with throwing grenades, eh, that's exactly infantry assault battles, eh, all of them, let's say the most difficult, because and eh, with artillery on both sides , eh -e where people must under the artillery

shelling, to carry out assault actions and to consolidate and hold these positions. that is, this is one of the hottest directions that is currently on this. well, near bakhmut, but with regard to the units, you say about two months. which would have been directly there, earlier we also heard that the prowagnerites who there were also about akhmatians and about newly mobilized people, what is it now, do you know which units are possible, regular russian troops are holding positions there , more precisely, they are trying to hold a-a well, during this time , four units have already changed, uh, the russians changed them because of what they had very heavy losses and the unit could not hold this line, something uh, we together with the 80th uh assault brigade, the 5th assault brigade 22:00 a-a motorized rifle

brigade, that is, this complex of works uh allowed which were carried out allowed to dispose of a lot of military personnel of the enemy at present would be the ability eh . in this direction, it is precisely the idiosyncrasies that we are just now seeing the shots of a that i published after the liberation of the tick and in fact please tell me whether the whole village or the entire settlement looks like this in the footage is there even one surviving house left there, there is not one in the target house, unfortunately, very heavy fighting led to the fact that there is like a moon on the moon,

someone is there, we got involved yes, everywhere a-a-a this is probably the most surviving building , the ones we saw on the screen now yes yes yes oleksandr and if before the mining, did the russian troops mine the village before leaving it and fleeing, how densely mined is the village itself uh, well, because of the fact that we uh, there were uh, assault actions there all the time, and we were simply providing the enemy large lines of defense with seeded fields, but around the tick there used to be a lot of minefields that they managed to install because of well, when

they started the offensive operation around bakhmut and they are still being demined somehow oleksandr well, we already have a statement from the general staff that the tick is located on strategic height or commanding heights is that what it's called or does it mean that new opportunities are opening up for the armed forces , which is exactly what we can talk about, and you know how some questions remain behind the scenes, so i will not answer this question according to the plans of our command and on the following actions, but uh, every populated place that is vacated opens up certain opportunities for the units, alexander, thank you very much for finding the time and opportunity to join the broadcast, and alexander, guests, that the commander is the head of
