The Presidential Office Head believes that Ukraine's security cannot be guaranteed without court over Russian political leaders

Ukraine will not feel safe until they punish those who have resolved the war by committing a crime of aggression. This was stated by Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, opening the Ukraine Is You within the Munich Conference on Security. “The fastest and easiest way to build the security of Ukraine and the world is to create a special tribunal for the court over the Russian leadership for the crime of aggression.

Europe and the whole civilized world understand why it is needed, ”said the Presidential Office Head. Andriy Yermak is convinced that the creation of a special international tribunal to investigate the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine would be the most important step towards depriving the immunity of Russia's leadership. According to him, despite international support and progress in the process of starting the tribunal, a new risk has emerged.

“Some states have spoken in favor of a hybrid tribunal, which is unacceptable for Ukraine. This is not an option for our country because it does not give any guarantee that we will deprive the immunity of Putin, Lavrov, Mishustin and others, ”the head of the office of the Head of State said. Andriy Yermak reported that as of early February, more than 60,000 Russian military crimes were recorded in Ukraine, including 155 cases of sexual violence.

From the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Russia, more than 9. 5 thousand civilians, including 461 children, have been killed in Ukraine. About 78 thousand infrastructure facilities are damaged or completely destroyed. Ukrainian children and their parents cannot feel safe, said the Presidential Office Head. To date, more than 16,000 cases of violent movement of Ukrainian children have been established. And it's not orphans.

Children are divorced with parents who are taken to filtration camps, taken to torture. And then the kid is sent to Russia. "Some parents are illegally deprived of parental rights and are forced to agree that their children will be taken out," said Andrey Ermak.

-What safety can be about if you can lose the most expensive at any time, what do you have-your life, children, health? The murder of Ukrainian mothers, the violent deportation of children would be impossible without one crime, which is called - though it sounds scary - maternal. It is a crime of aggression. That is, a crime that initiated an aggressive and unjust war against Ukraine.
