Russia has launched a fresh round of airstrikes on Ukraine, targeting the capital Kyiv, and damaging several buildings. President Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukrainian air defence forces shot down 13 drones. Russia has been repeatedly targeting the country's energy infrastructure in recent months, in what Ukraine says is a bid to demoralise its population. Ukrainians are now hunkering down for a cold winter with patchy or limited access to electricity, heat, and water. Vladimir Putin's "special military operation", which was meant to seize Kyiv within 3 days, has now become bogged down in a 10 month-long war of attrition. Ukraine has reclaimed about half of the territory Russia captured since the start of the war, but four Ukrainian provinces remain illegally annexed by Putin. The outcome of the war still remains highly uncertain as Ukraine struggles to maintain its independence from the Kremlin. Kathryn speaks to Lesia Vasylenko, a Ukrainian Member of Parliament, with the opposition Holos Party. She's an outspoken critic of the Russian invasion and meets regularly with world leaders to share the plight of Ukraine and to rally support for her home nation.

Trois mois après le début de l'invasion russe en Ukraine, les bombardements se poursuivent dans les régions de Donetsk et de Louhansk. Fin de semaine dernière, le Congrès américain a débloqué une enveloppe de 40 milliards de dollars pour continuer de soutenir l'effort de guerre en Ukraine. Mais comment va la population ? Quelle est leur détermination ? On en parle ce matin en direct de Kyiv avec la députée ukrainienne Lesia Vasylenko.
Við byrjum Heimskviður þessa vikuna á því að fara til Úkraínu, nánar tiltekið til Kiev. Úkraínska þingkona Lesia Vasylenko hefur verið áberandi í heimspressunni bæði í aðdraganda innrásar Rússa í Úkraínu, og eins eftir. Hún er í stjórnarandstöðu og var áður ötull gagnrýnandi stijandi forseta, Volodymir Zelenskys, en síðustu vikur hefur úkraínskur þingheimur allur fylgt sér á bakvið forsetann. Guðmundur Björn ræddi við Vasylenko í vikunni um framtíðarhorfur í Úkraínu. Mun Úkraína neyðast til þess að gefa Rússum eftir landsvæði? Mun Úkraína bera sigur úr býtum, og geta nágrannarnir Rússar og Úkraínumenn nokkurn tímann lifað í sátt og samlyndi, ef og þegar þessu stríði lýkur? Í síðari hluta þáttarins fjallar Magnús Geir Eyjólfsson, um breytta heimsmynd eftir Covid-19 faraldurinn. Í upphafi árs glitti í endalokin á Covid-19 faraldrinum og sáu fjármálaráðherrar heimsins í hillingum að varpa fram háum hagvaxtartölum eftir botn síðustu ára. En svo hófst innrás Rússa í Úkraínu og má segja að Pútín hafi ekki eingöngu varpað sprengju á úkraínskar borgir heldur einnig sprengjum á heimshagkerfið. Í stað betri tíðar með blómum í haga róa fjármálaráðherrar heims nú lífróður í baráttu við síhækkandi hrávöruverð, áður óséða verðbólgu og versnandi lífskjör. Rétt eins og faraldurinn á þetta að heita tímabundið ástand en nú eru málsmetandi menn farnir að tala um að áhrif þessara heimssögulegu viðburða verði varanleg. Magnús Geir ræðir við Björn Berg Gunnarsson, hagfræðing, Heimskviður er fréttaskýringaþáttur sem fjallar á ítarlegan og lifandi hátt um heimsmálin, um allt það sem ekki gerist á Íslandi.

Les images de Boutcha ont choqué le monde entier et ont poussé la communauté internationale à se mobiliser pour ouvrir plusieurs enquêtes afin d'établir que l'armée russe a potentiellement perpétré des crimes de guerre en Ukraine. De nos envoyés spéciaux dans la région, Les survivants de l'occupation par les russes de la ville de Boutcha ont tous des souvenirs brutaux en tête. Près d'un charnier de l'église Saint-Andrew, Oleg n'en revient toujours pas de s'en être sorti en vie. « J'ai vu des enfants de 4 et 10 ans, brûlés vifs avec leur mère », raconte Oleg. « Comment peut-on digérer ça ? J'ai vu le corps déchiqueté de mon voisin devant moi, il lui manquait un poumon et les Russes ne nous ont pas laissé prendre son corps pour l'enterrer comme il le faut. Quand je ferme les yeux maintenant, je ne vois que ça ». Des preuves récoltées au fur et à mesure C'est sous un ciel gris, le vent fouettant les sacs noirs qui contiennent les corps des victimes, que la procureure générale d'Ukraine, Iryna Venediktova, s'est rendue à Boutcha. Elle vient établir que des crimes de guerre se sont déroulés dans la petite ville non loin de Kiev. « Boutcha a des séquelles de tous les crimes de guerre, torture, abus sexuels, infrastructures et habitations civiles bombardées », décrit Iryna Venediktova. « Comme Borodyanka, c'est une ville sans structures militaires, et il n'en reste rien. On peut témoigner d'un grand nombre de crimes de guerre dans la région de Kiev et nous pouvons les qualifier de crimes contre l'humanité », ajoute-t-elle. ► À lire aussi : Ukraine: la difficile enquête du massacre de Boutcha se poursuit Les preuves sont récoltées au fur et à mesure par les citoyens eux-mêmes qui disposent d'outils à portée de main pour répertorier les crimes de guerre, comme nous l'explique une députée ukrainienne, Lesia Vasylenko. Il y a une application smartphone pour dénoncer les cas de tortures, d'abus, les attaques contre des cibles civiles comme les écoles ou encore les hôpitaux… Tout le monde a un smartphone maintenant, les gens peuvent envoyer leurs photos d'une clinique bombardée par les Russes alors même que la guerre se poursuit. Comment les Russes pourront affirmer que tout est fabriqué lorsqu'une vingtaine de personnes ont des photos du même événement, d'angles différents, de troupes russes visant des civils ? « Dans la région de Kiev, on voit des potentiels crimes de guerre à chaque coin de rue » Des enquêteurs internationaux sont également arrivés afin de procéder à des enquêtes approfondies sur le terrain. C'est le cas de Belkis Wille, chercheuse senior auprès de la division Crises et conflits de l'organisation Human Rights Watch. « Ce qui est frappant dans certaines régions du pays, c'est l'ampleur de ces abus. Rien que dans la région de Kiev, on voit des potentiels crimes de guerre à chaque coin de rue, autour de tous les immeubles, et c'est assez remarquable », constate Belkis Wille. « L'autre chose qui démarque ce conflit, c'est qu'il n'y a jamais eu dans l'histoire autant d'opportunités d'obtenir des preuves, dans le cadre des mécanismes judiciaires. C'est vraiment unique. » ► À lire aussi : Fosses communes à Boutcha en Ukraine: «Il est beaucoup trop tôt pour parler de génocide», selon Amnesty Le gouvernement russe persiste et signe, tout est faux et fabriqué par Kiev. Mais les preuves accablantes s'accumulent et les Ukrainiens espèrent qu'elles serviront devant une cour pénale internationale.
Russian President Vladimir Putin says peace talks have reached a "dead-end situation" after Ukraine made allegations about war crimes. He dismissed images of dead bodies in the town of Bucha as "fake".

Earlier this morning I spoke with Ukrainian MP, Lesia Vasylenko, who has recently returned to Kyiv. She describes the relative calm in parts of the city and what those who remain are bracing themselves for. She talks about the need for "boots on the ground" perhaps in the form of an International Peace Keeper force that will keep Green Corridors open for the millions of displaced people and she talks about passionately about the Leaders of the "Free World" sending all the wrong messages to autocratic regimes.

As the conflict continues in Ukraine, we've seen footage of predominately women and children fleeing the country. But that is just one aspect of this conflict. There are also many women who have stayed in Ukraine and signed up to fight. Back in December, Ukraine's Ministry of Defence expanded the number of women who are eligible for mandatory service in the armed forces. They will be joining the 57,000 or so women, aged 18 to 60, already serving. But is there an appetite for more women to sign up? And what roles are they likely to play? Jessica Creighton hears from Lesia Vasylenko, a Ukrainian MP who describes her new reality of being trained to use an assault rifle to defend her family and her country and Dr. Olesya Khromeychuk, Director of the Ukrainian Institute, London. President Joe Biden has nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, calling her "one of the nation's brightest legal minds". She will be the first black woman to serve in the court's 232-year history if confirmed and would mean four women may sit together on the nine-member court for the first time. Kimberly Peeler-Allen the co-founder of Higher Heights, an organisation that builds the collective political power of Black women, discusses the significance of her nomination. If the Mona Lisa could speak what would she say? A new novel by Natasha Solomons gives voice to the painting and lets her tell her own story. Natasha and the Da Vinci expert Professor Martin Kemp join Jessica. What does it mean to be a “dangerous woman”? That is something Dr Jo Shaw of the University of Edinburgh has been studying and has led to a new book with fifty essays from different women reflecting on the topic from around the world. The idea that women are dangerous individually or collectively permeates many historical periods, cultures and areas of contemporary life. It has been used to describe the Labour MP and human rights activist Shami Chakrabarti, and Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who was labelled by the Daily Mail as “the most dangerous woman in the UK”. But what lies behind this label and what does it say about the power dynamics with which women live with today? Jessica speaks to Dr Jo Shaw of the University of Edinburgh and the journalist Bidisha, whose essay is part of the collection.

Lindsey Hilsum, Channel 4 News International Editor, reports live from the Donbas region of Ukraine. Then, Lesia Vasylenko, opposition member of the Ukrainian parliament, joins us from Kyiv.
There is a lot of politicians, including members of our own government, making statements about the situation along the Ukrainian border with Russia. Rather than indulge that hot air we decided to talk with members of both the Ukrainian govt and the opposition. This podcast is with founder of the NGO Legal 100, current President of the Interparliamentary Union, Voice Party (opposition) member and Ukrainian MP, Lesia Vasylenko. We discuss the situation on the ground, the sabre rattling, the phoney war and the risks of it becoming more than that. Lesia tells us about the ways Ukrainian people are dealing with this current escalation and about why she feels membership of NATO, while impossible at this impasse, is what the majority in her country want. We do of course discuss Ireland, neutrality, Shannon, destruction of our marine environment and more. Note: This is the first podcast of 2 scheduled about the rising tensions between Russia and the Ukraine. We'll also be talking with the head of the Permanent Delegation of the Verkhovna Rada, (Ukrainian Parliament) and Govt MP Maria Mezentseva in the coming days. Join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack
