allegations that they are looking into. and the hope is that this is just the beginning, that they re building momentum and we will see more like this to come. so garry, you tweeted today i don t care if putin leaves his bunker in chains or in a box but his trial would be an education for russians who have denied culpability. there would be facts and denial but the facts would come out. do you really think at this point that the russians would learn something from this? eventually yes. that before this moment comes we need ukraine to win the war. ukrainian victory as i ve been saying for a long time alongside my colleagues like michael khodorkovsky and other prominent russians who believe victory for ukraine is beginning of liberation of russia from putin s fascism. only a decisive ukrainian victory that will include full liberation of the country including crimea and sevastopol, reparations being-paid and war crimes tribunal.
could sit down with putin, and do some compromise deal. but i can tell, you i speak to senior ukrainian officials, often including president zelenskyy from time to time, and because of this kind of terrorism, there is no way that they can compromise with putin, until they have liberated all of their territory, including crimea, that is their ambition, and then the entire country is behind them, precisely because putin, has used these barbaric methods to fight this war. and didn t putin believe that this kind of terrorism, and barbarism would force zelenskyy to come to some kind of settlement, because the people of ukraine would not be willing to endure this kind of savagely. that s right, that was his calculation, and it was just a bad as bad a calculation, as the one they predicted he would take even three days. it is just as bad as the idea that he would liberate russia

when will the war ended, do you think? when will the war end, do you think? including crimea and the regions that were occupied? i spoke earlier to michael bociurkiw in 0desa. mr bociurkiw is the atlantic council analyst and former spokesman for 0sce, the organisation for security and co operation in europe. he says there is no water and the electricity in this southern port city after the strikes. i was just outside on the street in the city centre, very few people on the streets, there was no electricity, meaning no traffic lights operational, a lot of generators humming. internet is out. i have to say in the area i am in right now it
ukraine having control over all of its territory, including crimea. and so i think he s always been willing to be part of these negotiations. but going in at the outset with an offer to pultin to take over parts of your territory is part of a losing strategy. so i doubt there will be a lot of details laid out tonight. that s obviously significant. i know you know as much as anyone at this time. you supported sending the patriot missile system to ukraine, which has faced a lot of resistance in the administration. that s why we re ten months in before it s happening. part of the reason is what russia said it means. russia s deputy has directly said that providing the patriot missile defense system would mean it s fair game for russia to target nato, that they would be legitimate targets. i know you re being briefed
