the boys were still alive, at the moment i don't have an official answer from the international committee of the red cross, but their answer is always the same , the russian side didn't let us in, that's why we couldn't fulfill our mandate. the problem we have with the international committee is that we don't see such a great desire to influence on the russians to allow representatives of the international committee of the red cross to visit our citizens, whom thousands of russians illegally receive in russian camps , and the last question that in this situation is clear what do you plan to do next? and i informed the international organizations in this situation, no matter how effective they are, but we as a state , i as the ombudsman of ukraine, will continue to inform that the russian federation continues to shamefully violate the rights of our citizens and kill our ukrainian children. we will demand consideration of this issue on the platform on international platforms, including the organization of the united nations well, in which one again i would like us as states to raise the issue of the ineffec

if there is any contact simply at the level of cooperation , maybe uh, the ukrainian red cross and the internationalis it possible, if not with hands, not with people, they help, maybe with other resources, very in short, look, first of all, they help us within the scope of the red cross of ukraine , that is, they transfer part of the humanitarian aid to us through us. refers to inter-state relations here, the international committee of the red cross works directly with the government directly from the president's office, we are not participants in those negotiations , obviously, that's why well, let's say it's different level of responsibility another level of communication thank you and very briefly many ukrainians have generators left from difficult winter times thank god there is no great need in the rear cities should we now provide these capacities to the residents of kherson oblast which is completely without power supply almost well let's say the affected areas briefly look i would urged everyone to listen to what the central authorities say, in particular , the kherson military-civil admini

president of the international red khresta i believe that the information campaign that you and i conducted together with you, dear journalists, last march was effective when the international red crossrd and read uh, well, certain posts about themselves, but here we have to be guided by legal points, the legal opportunities for activity are as for deported children as well as for prisoners of war and we will use them. well, let's say that to the fullest extent. believe me, we as delegates of pali are ready to go at least tomorrow and deal with prisoners of war in the temporarily occupied territory, we are simply all on the lists those sanctioned by us will be killed or put on the same trip, maybe the hungarians will meet colleagues there somewhere, ask them where the case is . dear colleagues, i would like to emphasize that three out of the 11 ukrainian prisoners held in hungary were released after our direct communication with the minister of foreign affairs and the coordination center joined . thank you, maria mezentseva, people's deputy of ukraine, head of the permanent delegation to the verkhovna rada of ukraine, as a couple. glaufix protection and maintenance of your visual acu

, the rogue is about having balls, the cross is the ukrainian red cross, not the international committeed cross and his places, because these are different things, after all, i can only speak for our regional one and i know a lot of girls and boys who work there. they are really patriots who did a lot during the occupation and are doing now for ukrainian. i am not ready to answer for the international one there in fact, there were always questions for them, mr. yuriy. well, in general, i now see a lot of questions for all these organizations, and they look logical. one of the theses is, well, why did they have to send their missions under fire, why are foreigners, foreign volunteers, and why do we have to demand this from them and so on and so on, but i will remind you that , for example, according to my observations in the east of our country , they work under shelling, for example, they work on evacuations of the civilian population, and so on, and so on, and why do you think the situation with the blowing up of the kakhovka hpp and there is less attention to this big water now in simi

kherson region, this same red cross does not notice even when you wave evidence in his face the secretariat of the red cross in the secretariat of the un in these international organizations there are russian interveners - this this is what has happened in recent years or in fact since the creation of these organizations this has been established can we or is it possible that such a situation was created on purpose explain that we better understood them russia has a large angle is constantly filled well, for example, we had a mission, a special observation mission, in kyiv, there are 8 percent of the mission in this mission, this is the war in the east, the ato, 8% of the mission, these russians in they work for us, which seem to mediate the osce, or do they work so that the war will end sooner or help end this conflict, the pd and so on, that is, the special mission was closed in this monitoring place in kyiv, and in april , a representative was appointed to close it, and it turns out that her husband is russians from moscow has been there for a long time seriously and systematically , we need to understand this carefully, approach the matter carefully , st

if children are hidden, then this is not an easy international red cross. the tragedy of the children of donbass is ignored. the taste organization of doctors without borders was marked by human organs and here the representatives of the organization appeared just when they were taking the children out during the activity . it was the end of february, the beginning of march of the twenty- second year. e, the village of nikolaevka, donetsk region, is one of the first liberated during the free. we went there with advanced units. and there we managed to hear such a really terrible story from the parents of schoolchildren from a local school, a group of schoolchildren were sent to the children's camp emerald city near the city , slavyansk and the parents, of course, lost all contact with their children and it seemed that the children, and no one was going to return to their parents and they were simply taken and taken to western ukraine , they said goodbye, no connection. they could not return the children back, what happened to these children, this is the seco

anchor: earlier, i spoke to the head of media for the international red cross. said the red cross is on the ground, helping. >> the frustrations are fully understandable. the humanitarian needs in this region are enormous. it has been taken and retaken throughout the course of the last 15 months. already, there was huge vulnerability within the local population. many people had fled because of the fighting prior to that and those that remained were people that had limited mobility that may have been sick and could not leave. the situation is dramatic. the international committee of the red cross, particularly through our partner on the ground, the ukrainian red cross, has been evacuating people from the scene. 800 people on day one. and today, 55 people were evacuated by the ukrainian red cross. the ukrainian red cross is they and we are working -- there and we are working with the ukrainian red cross. we provide technical and other support. the red cross movement is present and supporting but for us, there is this emergency phase which is rescuing people from w

during the second world war, international humanitarian organizations, and above all the red cross ,arly ignored the torment of soviet captive military women and children. they were killed, they were burned, monstrous experiments were carried out on them, and the red cross was silent then, as prisoners of the united states and europeans - this organization carefully supervised from the great patriotic war. we know for our prisoners. in what conditions they were, they were not provided with that assistance, although, uh, those who were there are the sandley of the netherlands captivity to them. there parcels of medical assistance were provided by the president of the red cross karl burkhart. adolf eichmann officially justified the nazis and accepted adolf hitler's personal invitations precisely until the channels of the red cross managed to escape from justice . yozov mengele klaus barbe. le, nicknamed the butcher of leon for his crimes, and many others are not so well known by the nazis, and today the situation is the same. nothing has changed in 80 years in the public organizations

demoralize the enemy, captured soldiers kormilii treated transferred to the representatives of the international red crossy. we carried out from the very beginning of the guerrilla warfare. it was a fair humane policy, and it gave its results. there were cases when the enemy soldiers even surrendered to the partisans. fidel did not lose a minute, two more formations were formed, one of them was headed by che guevara the second camilla yen fagos. these formations operated in the central region of the country as a whole, the rebel army seized the strategic initiative and soon the first january 1959. entered harbor. on this day, january 1, 1959, the cuban revolution won. dictator batista fled from the island of liberty . along with men , women also fought selflessly, next to raul castro , fought key to shoulder for the freedom of the film. they say she was an excellent shot. they met in a rebel camp in the sierome mountains and fell in love . yes, the regime and the cambric and the film espanguillosis, his longtime fighting girlfriend became husband and wife. together they raised two daughters, a son, and gr

international humanitarian. tsiyam do not care about them. doctors without borders, the red crossll, yes, somewhere , some pointwise performed their functions, because anyway their functionality requires it, their reporting requires it, and so on , to say that we got some great benefit from this security. i did not see the director of the children's tuberculosis hospital. do lugansk remembers doctors without borders of our children's tuberculosis hospital didn't help. although the publication was not far from us. during world war ii, international humanitarian organizations , and above all the red cross, similarly ignored the torment of soviet captive military women and children. they were killed, they were burned , monstrous experiments were carried out on them, and the red cross was silent then, as prisoners of the united states and europeans. this organization carefully supervised from the great patriotic war. we know for our prisoners. in what conditions they were, they were not given that help, although, uh, those who were there soundly and the netherlands to them there, medi

if children are hidden, then this not an easy international red cross the tragedy of the children of is ignored. and the infamous human organ trafficking in kosovo is an organization. doctors without borders was noted, and here representatives of the organization appeared just when they were taking the children out, they were not there until the moment the children were taken out during the activities of the organization doctors, uh, without borders, facts were revealed that the provision of medicines to citizens with an expired shelf life, therefore, later they stopped activities on the territory of the lugansk people's republic of children are selected and the parents. it was the end of february. early march 22. uh, the village of nikolaevka, donetsk region, one of the first liberated in the course of our campaign, we now went there with advanced units. and there we managed to hear such a really terrible story from the parents of schoolchildren. a group of schoolchildren from a local school was sent to the emerald city children's camp near the city of slovyansk, and the parents, of

possible, despite the chalet waste, with other aspect to you and watson head of media for the international red cross, he said the red cross is on the ground helping as well. the frustrations of fully understandable humanitarian needs in this region are enormous. you're corresponding with saying how hard hit this city is being of course has been taken and re taken uh, throughout the course of the last 15 months. uh. so already there was a huge vault ability within the local population. many people that fled because of the fighting prior to that. and those that remained with people that have limited liability, that may be sick, that could not leave. and so of course now with these floods, the situation was dramatic. uh, the international committee of the red cross, and particularly through our partner on the grounds, the ukrainian red cross has been evacuating people from the scene. so 800 people and they won. and i'm today 55 people are evacuated by the ukranian red cross, big ukranian. red cross is there, and we are working extremely closely. and ukraine was a ukrainian, red cross. we provide them w

the kakhovsky sea, well, first of all, the absolutely disgusting behavior of the un and the international red cross is absolutely clear that in turkey during the earthquake there was a civilian a humanitarian mission, and here there is a mixture of military actions and man-made catastrophes. in fact, what the enemy did is comparable in its consequences to a nuclear attack, and we must now emphasize this to the whole world that in fact, after chernobyl, in europe , the biggest man-made disaster in the last 50 years was chernobyl. and now the kakhovskaya hpp is actually the volume of this. well, let's say that it will be difficult to calculate the damage and casualties in the near future. well, let's put it this way, it will be impossible to calculate all the consequences of this disaster. the question is that this is such a polyphonic disaster. it hit the agricultural industry, the metallurgy, the transport industry, ecology, energy, eh , the housing of the lord, in the end, it is occupied berdyanskyi occupied crimea remains without water after that, and here the question is different. and why shoul

captured soldiers were treated, and they passed on such a policy to representatives of the international red cross we carried out from the very beginning of the guerrilla warfare. it was a fair humane policy, and it gave its results. there were cases when the enemy soldiers even surrendered to the partisans. fidel did not lose, no minutes were formed two more formations of one of them were headed by che guevara the second camilla yen foegos, these formations operated in the central region of the country as a whole, the rebel army seized the strategic initiative and soon the first of january 1959. entered harbor. on this day , january 1, 1959, the cuban revolution won. the dictator batista fled from the island of liberty. along with the men next to the shoulder, they say she was an excellent shooter. they met in a rebel camp and fell in love. the fall of the batista regime and the film espanguillos of it old fighting friend became husband and wife. together they raised two daughters, the son of grandchildren, and by a happy coincidence , it was on the day when we met with raul. he had a great grand

19,000 deported children , and in fact it is even more, it is quite small, unfortunately, the international red cross does not fulfill its direct obligations and does not help ukraine regarding the return of children. support but today it remains a big problem because once again we call on our international partners to join forces because in reality it is difficult to return the children as it happens and all the children who managed to return them. they have parents or legal guardians and these parents applied either to the shoemaker's office or to the children of war portal and accordingly could provide information on their whereabouts. if you look, most of them are still teenagers or children, well , young people. yes, because look, young children, they can't , unfortunately, report their whereabouts, and i won't disclose the return process , because it can actually have a bad effect on further actions, but we must understand that this it is very difficult because it is a very delicate process and today the children are returned thanks to cooperation with public organizations and charitable founda

that the ukrainian red cross is who really works constantly and is in areas where it is necessary to provide this or that aid, we are talking about the internationalhe red cross. and we are talking about the un regarding whether there will be permission from russia. well if russia wants to get some staged action together with the un, then of course they can give a certain permission somewhere on the seventh day of what needs to be done , but from the point of view of the russians, they absolutely do not care what happens on the left bank of the dnieper, they are absolutely aware of what is there people are absolutely without help, sometimes this is another thing, and this is also the meaning of this, let's say, terrorist action on the part of russia. that is, it has demonstrated the education that it will behave aggressively enough in relation to any territories of ukraine and we definitely do not expect any kind of quick, but generally professional, competent reaction from international institutions, in which the key parameters are a humanitarian mission, humanitarian aid, that 's your position, but who is to blame for undermining the hydroelectr

conditions of their stay, their condition must be monitored and verified by ukraine and such an international the red crossinternational institutions, none of this, everything else, well, these are political statements . well, could some of these citizens of these people or all of them have dual citizenship, i.e. hungarian , including whether it gives hungary the right to enter into these negotiations with russia or somehow take away these prisoners of war we are talking about ukrainian prisoners of war who were on the territory of the russian federation as ukrainian citizens and ukrainian prisoners of war captured by the aggressor state and everything else - this interpretation yes, according to some information, we have information that some of them could also have a hungarian passport, but first of all, we are not talking about all of them and not even about the majority of what we are now hearing about the fact that the manipulations, further manipulations could have been very different in which way and when they received this citizenship , this is also a question that needs to be clarified separately

uh, the international committee of the red cross, and particularly through our partner on the ground, the ukrainian red cross has been evacuating people from the scene. so 800 people on day one. and i'm today 55 people were evacuated by the ukranian red cross, and we are working extremely close to the new crime with diversity training and red cross. we provide them with technical support and other support. so the, the red cross movement is present and supporting ad, but uh for us there is this emergency phase now which is really a rescue and people from where they are. and that includes people that really cannot move told i've no mobility, but then there are longer term needs that we will need to support communities through of course, the land. what's, what's happened here is that this is an area that have significant land mine and explosive remnants present. now the fact of this water is washed through the means that those land mines are now no longer box. so we don't know where they are with, you know, there's a lot of them. and of course, this land is, is agriculture around. so thi

ukrainians know how to turn their anger into donations, and the position of the united nations international red cross, but in any case, these are international organizations, you are more than the un, in order to make a certain decision, you need to be there collective will and this requires a procedure that does not take place in a day red cross we can already see it it is in a deep institutional crisis as long as we wait for the arrival of the red cross everything will already disappear as he said yes the journalists are leaving, and it is already the tenth of june. i'm sorry, but you're right, because they also have, they have to get a budget. they have to get the strength to have enough opportunity to react . that's how any international organization works . it can't come before the earthquake. it's another matter that maybe it was necessary to negotiate with with the red cross to the undermining of the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power plant , talking about what the algorithm of actions might be, this is another question. think about other objects. something else can happen somewhere, there are ot

this is the answer of the un and the international red cross. president volodymyr zelenskyi said that no international organization has joined the rescue operations in kherson oblast. currently, the state emergency service, police and volunteers are involved in the operation, and it is very difficult for us to take people from this occupied part of kherson oblast because as soon as our people want the reports, take them away and the occupiers shoot. from a distance, it rains. what is happening, except that you and i will see all the consequences in a few days after the water leaves the korabel area in kherson it has already been possible to evacuate dozens of people, this is the most affected part of the city from the flood, how the evacuation is taking place, see further in our report there is no water in sveta, there is nothing there, and the level is rising, i don’t know how much more it will rise well, i don’t know how much when they will go down i didn’t want to go from the korabel district in kherson, my husband agreed to the evacuation whe

ukrainians know how to turn their anger into donations and help the position of the united nations international red crossese are international organizations, especially the un, in order to make a certain decision, there needs to be a collective will and this requires a procedure that does not take place in a day . the red cross, we can already see it. it is in a deep institutional crisis . as long as we wait for the arrival of people from the red cross, everything will already disappear, as he said. yes, the journalist is going, and it is already the tenth of june. i'm sorry, but you're right, because they also have, they have to get a budget . they have to get strength for uh, enough opportunity to react. this is how any international organization works. it can't come before the earthquake. it's another matter. what is possible? was to negotiate with the red cross before blowing up the kakhova hpp, talking about what the algorithm of actions could be. this is another question . well, you know all this question already in the past tense . in any case, it is absolutely obvious that we need to think about

dealing with a very i difficult situation, thank you from the international red cross.k. this is bbc news. some other stories now developing in the uk... less ham football fans have been attacked by fiorentino that support is before the europa conference final in the czech capital prague three people injured in a bar in the old town area of the city, one westhampton who did not want to be need to set his fan had a massive cut on his hand —— head. please also convert an officer had been attacked during the incident, the final gets under way in the next hour. a heat health alert has been issued for parts of england as temperatures are predicted to hit 30 degrees celsius over the weekend. the alert is in place from 9 o'clock on friday morning until 9 o'clock on monday morning in london, the midlands, eastern and southern england. people in england could be offered weight loss jabs by gps to reduce obesity related illnesses, as part of a two year pilot scheme being launched by the government. it aims to reduce the pressure on nhs waiting lists. but experts warn "skinny jabs

prosecution of oganessyan and khanganov be stopped immediately , and it will also appeal to the international red cross with a request to help the boy to somehow go to the territory controlled by ukraine, to greater ukraine, and also two more moments, the european parliament will turn to the special representatives of the secretary general this is a request to the un to investigate this case and other cases that are already known in the west, and there are many of them, with the aim of developing a mechanism for the release of ukrainians who are in the occupied territories and who are subject to repression by the russian authorities , and in the end, the european parliament is calling the european commission and the european council to adopt a package of measures by the eu of ukraine regarding the protection of children affected by war or fleeing from it , a debate will be held tonight on this topic and, accordingly, the resolution will put to a vote tomorrow in the session hall studio tanya thank you and i hope that we will hear from you tomorrow and in the future what was happening in strasbourg this

absolutely no we need to help here, the only thing i see is that we need to cooperate with the international red crossto provide help, because the first dead are already appearing there, the first victims must be understood that it is very hot during the day. there is no water that is, it is no longer there, but it is already gone. well, we know that the free population suffers from all these consequences and we understand that the consequences will continue and will be even worse, that is , the situation will change and not necessarily for the better, but at the same time, the first the line of the russians is located on the left bank, we have information that they also suffered losses in manpower, ammunition, and their equipment , probably some that they did not take further from the line, this line is also probably flooded. do you have data on the numbers? how much did it actually cost how many of the best russian technicians have they already lost, after all, at least there must be some benefit to it, you know, there were reports that before blowing up the kakhovka hydroelectric dam, the occupiers

are still rising rapidly, and ukraine's prime minister has urged the united nations, the international red cross other agencies to act immediately, to help those in areas controlled by russian occupiers. our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, reports from kherson. this eastern bank of the river is currently a no man's land. neither russia nor ukraine controlled their stop now no one can live here. the ukrainian army drone spotted catalina trapped in her home and tried to drop her water. no luck. her son, tried to drop her water. no luck. herson, max, missed a tried to drop her water. no luck. her son, max, missed a crucial catch. they are both taken to kherson along with her daughter, maria. a city once occupied by russia then liberated by ukraine, now on its knees. translation: ~ ., ., ., translation: we managed to find the sim - lest translation: we managed to find the simlest boat translation: we managed to find the simplest boat but _ translation: we managed to find the simplest boat but my _ translation: we managed to find the simplest boat but my father— translation: we managed to fi

are still rising rapidly, and ukraine's prime minister has urged the united nations, the international red crossther agencies to act immediately to help those in areas controlled by russian occupiers. president zelenskyy says hundreds of thousands of ukrainians have been left without drinking water. emergency services are searching far and wide for people stranded by the floods. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse reports from kherson. this eastern bank of the dnipro river is currently a no—man�*s—land. neither russia nor ukraine control here. now, no—one can live here. the ukrainian army drone spotted catalina trapped in her home. they tried to drop her water — no luck. her son then makes the crucial catch. they're both taken to kherson, along with her daughter, maria. a city once occupied by russia, then liberated by ukraine, now on its knees. translation: we managed to find the simplest boat, i but my father and a neighbour got carried away in it. it came loose and the current was too powerful yesterday. rowing didn't help. so we were left with my kids, the three of us, for the night.

terrible conditions in russia, and it is also said that another appeal will be prepared to the international red crossh a request to somehow intervene in this situation and change our brothers, judge tanya, i thank you, it was our correspondent tetyana vysotska from strasbourg, where today during the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe , an action was held, bring the orchestra home in order to to draw attention to the fact that 27 of the prisoners, musicians, are currently in captivity in russia in order to bring them home and not only them, but all the soldiers, we are moving on to the next news and the successful end of the war will be only on the condition that ukraine returns all its territories occupied by russia and the aggressor country must fully pay compensation for what it has done, polish president andrzej duda emphasized this at a meeting with our correspondent. he added that if russia is allowed to win, the aggressors will continue their attack on poland and other countries. of the former soviet union. fortunately, no one serious in the international arena doubts that this com

the international red cross to, to deal with is what we understand or potentially thousands of people in the russian control side of the river that are also needing evacuation. they just more people coming in on a boat here behind may. what's also interesting is that we estimate that the river may well have risen all the floods may well have risen over nights. um we saw areas that were flooded this morning. um, inundated with water in the outskirts of care, so that will just certainly wasn't the yesterday i'm we're also heard what we understand to be outgoing shelling from some of the areas close to the city. we've heard no in coming, but they are sore to say and they ministry, hey, all very nervous about any kind of response, any kind of shedding, obviously, from the russian occupied side of the river. so as i say this evacuation goes on and there is still a lot of work to do here. there are serious issues with water as well. drinking water leasing trucks supplying what we'll do is to some of the civilians who, who are being evacuated. we've been having a look at this malice effort a

even watson is head of media for the international red cross new joins us now live from geneva, thanks very much for being with us. we had also that present genetics case. it was a very strong words, and he mentioned specifically the international committee of the red cross. i think it's necessary for international organizations like the i c o c to get immediately involved in the rest of your operation and to help people the occupied parts of house own. and you said that if an international knows that she's not present to the disaster zone, it means it does not exist to or is incapable. it seems like very strong attack on, on the red cross. but what's your response? as well, the frustrations of fully understandable humanitarian needs and this region enormous you corresponded with saying how hard hit this city is being of course has been taken and re taken as throughout the course of the last 15 months at so already there was a huge amount of ability within the local population, many people that fled because of the fighting prior to that, and those that remained. and were people that ha

look at the international red cross. look at the un. look at their reaction.they do not want to fulfill their key mission, that is, they want to be at certain events where they will be to drink champagne and talk about great democracy, but at the same time they do not want to go to the occupied territory, despite the fact that russia does not give permission, and to fulfill their only mission, which is written in the main documents. this is what you see war as a litmus shows all the shortcomings of the modern global system and political and security and humanitarian , that is, we have many organizations that can speak very beautiful words of a humanitarian type. but when certain actions are needed, those actions are not there, and then, accordingly , the question is: why do these organizations take large budgets and exist at all in order to take these budgets and exist. by the way , i will not defend the un, but there seems to be such information that the un together with our rescuers agreed to go and start rescuing, but it is necessary the green corridor that

i mean , the red cross and the international russian red cross and our volunteers and the associationawyers have done a very good job here. ah, one more question, of course, our authorized question, which is about the fighters of the territorial defense and possibly the military from this side. and, if there are any wishes , some appeals to you from the family, maybe from those, uh, to the military personnel who are now guarding the border here or directly from the fighters who provide as well as border protection within the framework of tomorrow's work. i suppose to talk in more detail about military personnel visiting and hospital, but today i can say that it is necessary to separate two things of the defense, which are subordinate to the ministry of defense, and the defense itself, which is formed in the whites of the bogorodsk region. and he works directly with the a governor. well, in my opinion, enough funds for defense. and i think that this is the very combat territory that should be ready to repel the fall. thanks a lot nikolai moskalkova. yes, i remind you. my colleague egor

president zelensky has criticised the international response to what's happened, accusing the un and red crossilitary dynamic to the kakhovka dam's destruction — it makes any ukrainian offensive from here more complicated. as for those living here, it's gone from difficult to the verge of impossible. james waterhouse, bbc news, kherson. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. nearly 5,500 miles of roads in kent — a network in a state of decline. here in deal, residents say the roads are so bad, they're no longer safe. it's just horrendous. they don't give two hoots about what happens to vehicles and people. people are tripping up in the potholes. and the conservation area — it's not very well lit at nights, anyway. over the years, repairs haven't kept up with the potholes. the maintenance backlog is now nearly half a billion pounds. road resurfacing costs 30% more than it did last year, and government funding is still lower than two years ago. the department for transport says it's giving kent over £40 million to inves

the international criminal court to pay attention to it, you also asked about the international committee of the red crosse issued an appeal and also called on the representatives of this international organization to use all their influence in order to stop this court and the reactions not yet. as far as i understand, there is no reaction yet, or who else besides the international committee of the red cross can be this third party under the mandate, it should be the un, there is management of the high commissioner for human rights, it has a representative office in moscow, it is clear that it works under rather difficult conditions, but who is easy now and they were also not at the court, i cannot confirm this because i was not at the court and i do not know who was in the audience or important is it important for russia to recognize these specific people as prisoners of war in order for there to be some kind of exchange, or are there any chances for an exchange when it comes to people whom russia is in court and as you say accuses of terrorist activities , considering the same mariupol as its own the te

to what is happening in ukraine is needed, large-scale efforts are needed to international organizations such as the red cross immediately joined the rescue operation and helped people precisely in the occupied part of the kherson region, every dead person there is a verdict, the verdict is available to the international architecture of the international organizations that have separated to save lives, if now there are no international organizations in the zone of this disaster , it means that it does not exist at all it is not effective in the occupied oleshki, there are the first casualties, it is known for sure about three people, this was reported by the mayor yevhen ryshchuk, he says that there is information that in flooded settlements people are looking for shelter where it would be dry because they can't leave, the russians don't let them out, according to him, now 90% of the city is under water, however , our military managed to get a woman and children out of their beds, who begged for rescue on the roof of a flooded house, the family ended up in the attic of a house in the seagull summer cooperativ

they still have not received an official answer about him place of stay from the international committee of the red cross to the same as we know, russia extremely rarely returns ukrainian civilian hostages , president volodymyr zelenskyy once again emphasized this during a meeting with ukrainian journalists and told what the authorities are doing to return imprisoned ukrainians from russia, it is difficult to return civilians we deal with civilians, and a potential large platform is the formula of peace there, the result can be powerful such that the formula of peace today is a platform that we we are preparing it is not easy, and there are 10 points on the basis of which a large number of countries are gathering and they will develop a step-by-step solution to the problem and then all together will put pressure on russia . deep there, during the occupation , the russians kidnapped 69-year-old anatoly gangan, damn the civilians in search of anatoly , his son roman contacted us. he told us that before his retirement, his father worked as a foreman in a tractor brigade and how much he remembers always help

which should act but it cannot do anything because of this right in relation to the international committee of the red cross, it is a humanitarian organization that is engaged in the protection of the rights of, for example, prisoners of war and peaceful civilians. it can provide some humanitarian aid, but it cannot force someone to stop crimes or to stop aggressive actions, unfortunately, this is not a function of this organization, but unfortunately, as we have already convinced ourselves, hmm, in our experience , the international committee of the red cross is not can cope even with its functionality, that is, if it is about the protection of prisoners of war - this is also a tragedy in the deer park, and a, in general, the status and protection of the rights of our prisoners of war, who are in russian captivity, unfortunately, there is a very strong criticism hmm, to this organization , mr. oleksandr, please excuse me, nazarii, i still have to ask, well , look, there is a precedent when an emergency situation that could affect the entire continent and this object is under occupation was initiated on a s

relations, well, that's what concerns all ecoactivists, everything that concerns the international committee of the red crosshe way, i'm from i was surprised to learn literally today that his morozenka turns out to be the leader in ukraine, after which everything became clear to me. with this organization, there are no illusions at all . why does it still function in ukraine? well , i can say the same about all these topics of amnesty international, but about all the others, all these offices, well, the existence of which only generates sponsorship contributions and the creation of jobs for characters that well, i don’t know sinecures, that’s just yes, that is, the work of some glamorous characters, well, or pensioners, who are simply consigned to the dustbin of history, cannot be fulfilled. they are employed by such prestigious organizations, or they employ some such promising young people , yes, this is a peculiar kind of a mouthful, so what could have been the reaction , well, seriously, i have already said it, i am even repeating myself well, maybe many people are already tired of hearing this metaphor,

enemy and whether they can be at all, but the key point here should be the role of international organizations, the red crossion of the united nations and their structures, and i believe they are not working on this international organizations international organizations i believe that in accordance with their mandate they are not using all means of influence on russia to at least find out where these children are how many of them how many of them live without their parents how many of them live with their parents do they want to return to ukraine i believe that the means of influencing them are more than they are in ukraine today, the enemy has a clearly formed strategy - it is the russification of children because it is passporting, enthusiastic dispensation of children and so on that is, they can add another word to criminalization. dmytro lybinets reported on the case when a 14-year-old girl was not returned to her parents in ukraine, they simply closed the case, they came to the case , militarization, again, they are militarizing children, that is, they have known since soviet times how to influence a c

i think a certain element of fear is present in particular in the international committee of the red crossyou remember the words andriy yarmak said in an interview with mr. komarov, well, we understand within the framework of the program the world inside out , he illustrated everything perfectly there. well, it was suggested that the members of the international committee visit the relevant places on the line of contact with russian troops with russia, with the necessary security, so that they could see with their own eyes what is happening there. and these security measures, you know, this is a very european thing, that is, they are as careful as possible, this is the difference with americans who are ready to come to ukraine for a long period without any hiding places and european who are not ready to do this, but again, international organizations are not the kind of structures that, you know, can bang their fist on the table and impose some terrible sanctions on russia, they can exclude russia , limit its participation, deprive it of observer status, stop participating in various proje

red cross. what is it in general in this process ? in my opinion, the internationalommittee of the red cross should first of all check such children as well as adults, where they are, the conditions of their detention and promote them return, they removed themselves from these processes regarding unicef, here i can only say positive words. they work on the territory of ukraine, their mandate is humanitarian support for families with children of ukrainian children and we have very good relations with the head of this organization in ukraine, murat shahin, who was awarded today by the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and i can confirm that this is absolutely deserved in relation to other programs of the united nations, for example , the un high commissioner, the un special rapporteur on children, and a separate management of refugee affairs, in my opinion, there are systemic serious problems here, because their mandate is not only to raise these issues again, but to put pressure on the russians and to do everything so that the children return , because at least someone provi

but the experience we have in the international committee of the red cross shows that even mine is from world war 2. that was laid in 1942 to 1945 that have been on the sea water all these times more than 70 years. uh i'll, i'll stay capable of whole functioning. i'm good. yeah, man is the policy advocacy and campaigns director, it saves the children into national n t. i also, most of what agencies like his are doing right now to help the people affected by flooding. our focus right now is primarily on the emergency and lloyd saving the services. and i think many agencies are happy with the evacuations, but to save the children in particular, we're focusing on m 2 separate sides. one looking at people who are still in the area and on not leaving by providing them with which we can in terms of whether we're talking drinking water, we're talking food and we're talking cash sometimes depending on how close the flood zones. and then also we're looking at the other side, particularly in place and like a glory of where people are being evacuated to design and provide shelters. full pharmacies
