deliberately staged episode by the russian military, designed essentially to liquidate a number of prisoners. the prisoners, we believe, were mostly from the mariupol area, captured at the end of that prolonged siege earlier this year, and may well have included many members of the legendary azov battalion, who have been particularly the subject of russian hostility. and so, this competing narrative is unlikely to be resolved any time soon. this is not a part of the country where we can go and independently verify. the bbc has been banned from that part of rebel controlled territory for a number of years. but, just in the last few minutes, the ukrainians have released what they say is an interception of a conversation which they say sheds light on what happened. we re still listening to that, trying to figure out what that really shows but at the moment,
