Yeah, this is a question to unpack.
I have to say I have a strong personal connection to this place.
I live in Lukianivska district of Kyiv from which you can see the TV tower very well.
You can in fact see it from my bedroom.
And I've lived in that area for most of my life.
But also for the two years starting from the end of 2019.
The team that I run did an investigation about one of these major Holocaust sites, which is Babeni Yar, which is basically buried under the territory, which is now called Babeni Yar, on top of which the TV tower has been constructed.
So we've been researching that place using this kind of forensic architecture type of tools, reconstructing the terrain digitally, mapping the events, and we know that place really well.
So when the first missile landed on Cave on the 24th of February, our team was kind of ready to do this work.
We didn't even have a discussion about kind of mapping these events, collecting evidence and stuff like that.
In fact, we were immediately on Mirrorboard, which is a tool for like digital mapping, trying to understand from which directions this missile came.
Missiles came and, you know, basically trying to
as in as much of a detail as possible understand what's going on and that was kind of a chaotic process we couldn't basically we couldn't decide what will be our first investigation until these two missiles landed very near to the territory that we studied for two years
So once I saw dead bodies right next to Babiniar, the missile exploding right next to the TV tower, which I can see from my window, it was so close to home that it couldn't be anything else than this case as the first investigation in this series that we launched.
Right.
That's an interesting question.
I have to say, I...
I probably won't be able to remember the first time I heard about it just because, as I said, I live so close to it.
So since early days, you hear about Balbanyar and you know what it is.
One issue that we were working with is the lack of specificity in that knowledge, in the collective knowledge, because, as I said, that site is buried under the layers of kind of Soviet terraforming.
