not far from chernihiv. chernihiv was shelled from there, as well as neighboring settlements. in particular, from the village of chernyzh. on march 15, they were beaten in line for bread, this was established by the investigators of the truuns human rights organization. the fire was led by the soldiers of the russian 35th motorized rifle brigade, maryna slobodyaniuk told the public annitynya organization earlier. then 15 people died. since january of last year , lapin has been the head of the main staff of the russian ground forces. currently, the court in chernihiv is interrogating witnesses crimes of russians. extortion and torture in kharkiv region and kyiv region, journalists of the schemes gained access to the telephone numbers of russian mercenaries from the redoubt. the occupiers filmed a video of the looted property, they themselves talked about what they were doing, one of the authors of the investigation, valery yegoshina, was contacted.

valeria, congratulations, congratulations, tell me how you managed to get the materials for the investigation and what you found out after studying the phone... the occupiers, in fact, this investigation is based not only on the actual phones of the occupiers, which we also managed to get acquainted with, it was very a large set of activities that we carried out, these were interviews directly with the mercenaries themselves, this was a large stack of documents with which we were able to get acquainted with my colleague kira telsyakov, since we traveled with her many times to the de-occupied part of kharkiv region, we also worked with the identification of personnel, accordingly, we worked with telephone billings, telephones and actually with the telephones themselves, in this way we were able to fully establish the route of the units of the redoubt from the moment of their formation at the end of the 21st year until they entered kyiv region on february 24, 22

year, then: we tracked how they relocated to kharkiv oblast after being expelled from kyiv oblast, and accordingly investigated their activities in donetsk and luhansk oblasts. ugh, but what are the main tasks of these redoubts, i understand that they are not ordinary regular troops, yes, they have their own tasks, how do they differ from the usual regular army, or mercenaries, for example, the same wagner. it's quite an interesting question because actually, as we're proving, they call themselves mercenaries, they call themselves a private military a campaign, but it's not, because i actually see it as one of the units of the regular russian army, maybe better

equipped, but they follow the instructions, the ones given by the game, the ministry of defense of the russian federation, they act on a par with the regular army, but call themselves a private military company, what can it do, it can give the russian leadership an opportunity to try to avoid responsibility, because we know that the russian leadership can say this already famous phrase, it's not us, it's some a private military company, we've seen it happen before...with the wagner group , as they started to distance themselves from them , although not too long ago, i think, president putin admitted that they were indeed providing both funding and direction to the wagner group, yes will happen with the units of the redoubt, i think that sooner or later the russian state

will be forced to admit that it controls these so-called volunteer formations, which it did. in ukraine, they were involved and are involved in the fighting, they are involved in the occupation many settlements, and we also showed, even from the first person , how they were engaged in torturing people, since they themselves filmed their crimes on their own phones, and we were able to see with what moods, for example, they took people in kharkiv oblast, borov to put people, civilians in a pit and continue to torture them, well, here i would like to believe in the inevitability of punishment, and in principle thanks to such investigations as you and your colleagues are doing, thank you for your work and let's hope that justice will find these soldiers and other war criminals. thank you,

extradition requests, interpol, what should be the action? well obviously until this war is over and over as we expect these individuals will be unavailable for punishment , at least i think so, if the war is over then there will be an opportunity to take action, obviously this russian government will not give up, with in view of the circumstances that were established by this court proceeding, in relation to them, tell me how to make sure that these people are arrested and handed over to ukraine, in case they leave the territory of the russian federation, well, there is no need to do anything additional, the verdict, if the verdict becomes legally binding, i would like to make some corrections, the verdict we

expect is the verdict of the court of first instance, so in eight years, nine years of the trial review, we receive a verdict that will not, obviously, not become legally binding, it will be challenged in an appeal, and accordingly it cannot be enforced either in ukraine or in any other jurisdiction, so i would not associate with the rendering of this verdict tomorrow some such cracking changes in general in this. it is interesting exclusively from a legal point of view, whether the court will evaluate the evidence that was provided, how it evaluates it, from what angle, or will it take into account the positions that were provided, in particular, in relation to the accused by the prosecutor's office and were , among other things, collected by representatives of the victims, here

those real things that we can expect, no punishment , even for the two who are present in ukraine now , are out of the question, there is no need for these expectations, futile er, mr. vitaly, well, if we are already talking or looking at this case at such an angle, then tell me how you assess the current consideration of this case, whether it is possible to wait for the verdicts for these people, your verdicts are mandatory. there will be, even an acquittal is a verdict, there will be a verdict for sure, the court has gone to the conference room for a year and will probably add something there in a year, but i want to draw your attention to the fact that with regard to those two people who remained in ukraine, or as they say, returned, although this is not true, they were returned from there to here, they were returned precisely because they were not

in danger, more than what they served at the stage of the trial, served in custody, i mean, sorry for such domestic terms, this term is multiplied by two, according to the savchenko law, this is all that the presiding judge can give them, he stated this directly in the process, a certain procedural document, we paid attention to it back in the 19th year, but i understand that this event has passed the attention of the media and the public, so for some reason they are expecting some kind of verdicts against these persons, i mean the verdicts of relatives those people who died on the maidan, they still are they still expect a more severe, severe punishment, well, but everything is decided by the courts, we will still wait for the court's decision, whatever it

may be. thank you very much. that joined the broadcast, some details of this case were explained, i will remind you that it was vitaly tytych, the lawyer of the nebesnaya sotna families, without uninterrupted mobile communication, in case of long blackouts , it will not be possible, but it is possible to provide yourself with the internet. our daria sydorenko explained how operators prepared for long-term power outages, what to do to stay in touch? see in ukrainian... mobile operators are not ready for long-term blackouts, the national commission that carries out state regulation in the field of communication and informatization reported on its website last week. a year ago , president volodymyr zelenskyy, by his decree to implement the decision of the national security council, obliged operators to prepare to ensure communication in case of long-term blackouts. providers of electronic communication networks and/or services immediately by 20
