contenders in france will be reporting from both camps. so a russian general has told state media plans to seize all of southern and east and ukraine. that is a far, wide, military aim than acknowledged so far. the wall where's to many k? f is quoted with plans to seize don bass and link it with crimea, which was a next by russian forces in 2014, and then capture the entire south of ukraine to connect russia to a trans mysteria. that c breakaway region. internationally recognized as part of malt over russia already has hundreds of troops, death, or ukraine's defense ministry responded on twitter saying they stopped hiding it. and that russia had acknowledged that the goal of the 2nd phase of the war is not victory over the mythical nazis. but simply the occupation of easton and southern ukraine, imperialism as it is tilted jabbar is in moscow, and she has more in the next phase of russia's military operation. well, according to the act and commander of the country, central military units, the task of the 2nd phase of the so called special military operation is to secure the areas in eastern and southern ukraine and to establish a land corridor that would stretch from russia all the way across to crimea. this commander saying that this is the number one priority for the russian military. now he also made a comment that is very interesting. at this stage he said that this land quarter, we're also provide a further opportunities for russian forces to get closer to an area in moldova known as trans trans, this trio which is a brick away region in moldova, that is alongside the border with ukraine. the area shares about a 400 kilometer to ukraine. and also the idea is that the russian speaking population in that area are in need of russian assistance, according to this military general who was speaking earlier on friday. now this is the 1st time we've heard about the any kind of aspirations, the russian military would have beyond the borders of ukraine. but also it indicates that there is a possibility that the russians would be looking at the towns and areas of and nikolai, as well as odessa in southern ukraine, the you and has confirmed that have been unlawful killings of civilians in the ukrainian town of beecher. it says that may amount to war crimes are hammered in which we've been speaking all day with the prosecutors who are investigating these alleged war crimes. we've also been speaking to the police, have been digging out and exuding bodies ever since the russians pulled out more than 2 weeks ago. and what the un is saying goes very much along the lines of what we have been hearing. we have been hearing that they found several bodies, for example, in the basement of a summer camp that men who were executed point black with their hands tied behind their back. we've also been told that they and they showed us pictures quite gruesome pictures of men who had been executed and then burned their bodies completely charged that were found in another basement. and then there's also we saw some pictures of another 8 men who were also tied up and executed on the street. so certainly the team we were talking to said that they alone had found 18 bodies. now we are at the morgue. and since this morning, really just had to see the families coming to to try to figure out where their loved ones. we were speaking earlier to a young lady and she said that her husband had to stay behind because men of fighting age weren't, are not allowed to leave ukraine at the moment. and then as her neighbors told her, well, when he was going out of his house, going to the basement of his has to get some stuff. he was shot point blank in the back. the you and human rights agency is condemned. would it cause the horrors of the crimes against civilians in ukraine? there is evidence mounting of war crimes being committed to indiscriminate shedding and bombing of oxidative areas. summary execution up to the indians. as i said, the vast majority of nations by far are attribute to the russian forces. so if you just look at the civilian casualties bigger, 92.3 percent of what we've managed to record

health said. yes, the last week saying that at least 36 ukrainian hospitals had been hit by russian shells. suddenly we saw video evidence given to us by a soldier in this field hospital of the hospital in the town that he had been evacuated from having been wounded. that hospital having been completely destroyed and speaking to other medics, it was incredible. one man said that he had been trained as a medic. he'd had decades of experience operating in other conflicts. so when we kosovo, syria, iraq, he said he been trained to save lives, but he said that he was so angry by what russia has done here. russia, he said, was turning him potentially into a murderer, because he now was that determined to defend his country. well, india's prime minister says he has discussed the urgent
