during this aggressive war, the components of this network of responsibility, they are very clear, this is the investigation of war crimes and prosecution in ukrainian courts. we understand that this is the responsibility of our state, and 99 plus percent of all war crimes will be investigated and tried in ukrainian courts. this too. the second is ensuring responsibility for the crime of aggression. ukraine is the first, the first, after the second world war, which is trying to attract the aggressor to at the international level for the crime of aggression. this will happen for the first time since the nuremberg trials. the third is interaction with international mechanisms of justice. you have already mentioned the international criminal. but it's not the only

tool we use. the fourth is bilateral and multilateral cooperation, both within the framework of the joint investigation team and within our bilateral cooperation, i will talk about this in more detail later. and fifth, this is the provision of compensation to all victims of this war, as well as the provision of compensation to our state, this is its reconstruction. compensation at the expense of the assets of the aggressor country, these are five components of the system of comprehensive responsibility. regarding national investigations, as i have already mentioned, we are investigating more than 122,000 cases of war crimes. we have three teams that investigate the crime of aggression, the crime of genocide and all other war crimes. in order to investigate them effectively, we have created not...

not only have we strengthened our department that investigates crime at the central level, but we have created nine regional from branches in the regions where these war crimes were committed en masse in large numbers. we have also created special teams that investigate those war crimes that no one has investigated before us. i want to mention the crimes against others. andriy, and i would like to ask for the time being, let's put this topic aside, because we will return to it, we still have ecology, it is very important that we prioritized certain proceedings in order to investigate those what we can, what we can do right now, it is clear to everyone that we cannot to investigate 122 00 at the same time, so prioritization based on those ... strategic

documents that the attorney general's office has developed with our partners is very important, and communication is very important, because we have changed approaches so that all victims feel supported precisely from law enforcement and justice system bodies. for the first time, a coordination center for the support of victims and witnesses was created. we developed it together with our colleagues in the united states and some other countries. it people who will cooperate and communicate with the victims. because for each and every war crime victim, his or her case is the most important, but we have limited resources to prioritize those cases that, where we do have some priority, they definitely apply to cases , when civilians were killed, when civilians were tortured, sexually assaulted, deported, subjected to inhumane treatment, and definitely... such work, it already brings

your result to date, we have identified 512 suspects, 350 cases have already been sent to ukrainian courts, we already have 80 verdicts of ukrainian courts against russian war criminals during the war. this is historic, this has never happened in any war. therefore, support in this direction, and our effort, our effort. to prosecute and restore justice without waiting for the war to end is a very important, very important signal of our help and respect for the legitimate rule of law. regarding the crime aggression, i want to remind you, the tribunal, the special tribunal on punishment for the crime of aggression, which is currently being discussed by the coordination group, which includes more than 40 countries with... it

had its name once, and this name was given to it by the ukrainian people. the first name of the tribunal was the kharkiv tribunal. at the end of february. in the 22nd year, when the russian armed forces fired direct fire at residential buildings in the kharkiv region, the world was shocked by this, but after that there was a massacre, after that we all learned about the terrible war crimes during sieges of mariupol, and people changed the name, the tribunal in bucha, the mariupol tribunal. it took six months of communication from march 22 to october 22 for our partners to officially support the idea of ​​creating a special tribunal, because the international criminal court, unfortunately, does not

have jurisdiction over the crime of aggression in our situation. now 40 countries are already discussing the legal model of the tribunal, that is, the tribunal. will be created, but we are wasting no time. from july 22-23 in the hague, indoors eurojust already has an international prosecution center for the crime of aggression, with the support of the european union. six countries, the prosecutors of six countries, ukraine, lithuania, latvia, estonia, poland and romania are already working together on building a case regarding the crime of aggression. they were also joined by the special prosecutor of the united states of america. for the first time in the history of the united states of america, they singled out a prosecutor who is involved in the investigation of a crime of aggression. and of course, the creation of this tribunal is not only for the sake of restoration justice for every ukrainian man and

woman who suffered from this war. the creation of an international tribunal for the crime of aggression is important in order to prevent the repetition of such crimes in others. points of the world, we understand that the world is in a difficult situation, and we understand that responsibility is always about preventing repetition, because it is impunity that leads to the repetition of crimes, so we are united with the whole civilized world in order to the crime of aggression was punished precisely at the international level, and what the highest leadership of the aggressor country were brought to justice. in addition, i am also told that mr. rasmussen is already joining us, we will have online including him, that's why two minutes, regarding our

interaction with the international criminal court, 5 months of joint work of ukrainian prosecutors and prosecutor karim khan's office. reduced to the first warrant for the arrest of putin and lviv and bilova, i emphasize the first. our opening of the icc office in kyiv in september 23rd is about continued support of international judicial institutions. we also work together with un international commissions regarding the investigation of crimes in ukraine. regarding two and multilateral support. the joint investigative team that works, investigates the crime of aggression and the crime of ge created by ukraine, lithuania, poland, latvia, estonia, romania and slovakia, works in a daily mode, next week we will continue the work of this joint investigative team for the next two years, also pain more than 20 countries have opened their

own investigations into russia's crimes against ukrainians, and we already have the first results, last december the us department of justice has already... announced suspicions against four russian military personnel for war crimes against an american citizen of the united states who was in the occupied kherson region. and of course, compensation for losses is the creation of an international registry of losses, this is only the first step in creating a system of an international system of an international mechanism for compensation for damage to ukrainians. and i have hope for the next steps. will be quickly done by the council of europe with the support of our partners, therefore, it is the prosecution of everyone war crime and for all kinds of war crimes is our goal, for which we are united with the whole civilized world, and the world supports us on

this path. thank you. thank you, mr. kostyan. the next question is for kirill budanov. kirill oleksiiovych, there is a phrase that no... the best guarantee of sustainable peace is an advantage in weapons. tell me what to do if there is no such advantage. you have asked a good, good question. eh, what can we tell you about this? in the 21st century, well, as they say, it's time to move from quantity to quality, weapons - in any case, it is just a piece of iron with or without an intellectual component, but it is also operated or used by people, so the question is not the number of weapons, the quality and ability to use them, but i think that in these two years, and in 10 years, in general, the whole world has already been able to see the skill, professionalism and ability

to use various systems, the most advanced in the world, by our fighters who defend ukraine, so there will be no problem with this. kirill oleksiiovych, in general, in your opinion, if possible, name three forms of influence on performance russia's conditions, peace formulas, in your opinion, what could they be? concentration of efforts, this is probably the first thing, the second is, leaving the unity of international support for all of us. the third point, well, what can i say here, everything depends on us, after all, the third point is philosophical, the third point. thank you, kyrylo oleksiyovych, by the way, i want to. offer to connect us with mr. rasmussen, i am told that he has already joined us, we

are joined now by anders fok rasmussen, together with the head of the office, they are the co-chairs of the new newly formed group, the group on safety and of the euro-atlantic integration of ukraine, this is such a very special story, because both mr. rasmuson and mr. yarmak already have a success case, a successful case, this is our group on security guarantees, if you remember, this group... it worked for security compact, this document became the basis for the vilnius declaration. more than 30 countries have already signed the vilnius declaration. and after such a successful case, mr. yarmak and mr. rasmuson decided to repeat this success and created a new group, which included a lot of interesting personalities, true friends of ukraine, there there is also ms. hillary clinton, ms. sanna marin, mr. boris johnson. thank

you for joining us this sunday, we know that you and andrii have just created a new group on ukraine's security and euro-atlantic integration, we also know that you have a plan for... ukraine's path to nato, or could you share with us the details of this plan, and in general, how you see the future of this plan, this plan and the work of the group. well, thank you, dear friends, dear ukrainians, two years ago, russia launched a full-scale invasion of ukraine, and the goal putin was reasonable, he wanted to end

the existence of ukraine as an independent and democratic state, and in this he was defeated thanks to the courage of the ukrainian people and their leadership. ukraine currently remains an independent and democratic state. despite the huge number of abuses and years of difficulties ukraine. endured, at the beginning of the third year of the war, now the allies of ukraine must demonstrate that all these efforts were not in vain, we must provide ukraine with everything necessary for it to inflict russia is defeated on the battlefield, and if we... are not able to supply the promised ammunition, and in

this period of ensuring restrictions on the supply of long-range ammunition, it is impractical. that is why security guarantees from ukraine's allies are so important. and we worked on it. with my good friend andrii yarmak and our team during the last 18 months together we developed the kyiv security compact as it is in this document. a list of guarantees to ensure the long-term security of ukraine is determined. ultimately, this document was adopted representatives of the big seven countries. and i am very pleased that the uk, france, germany, canada and italy, which are part of the

g7, and now denmark, have signed this one. agreement, and this clearly demonstrates to putin that the allies will provide ukraine with as much as necessary and for as long as necessary. however, security guarantees are important not only in themselves, but they must ensure the needs, security needs of ukraine on the way to the european union and nato. after all, the long-term security of europe also depends on ukraine's accession to the eu and nato. and this is exactly what we are working on now. at

the request of president zelensky, we started and established a new high-level working group on... euro-atlantic integration of ukraine. we are already preparing a certain report for it. i will not predict its content now, but one thing is clear that gray areas are dangerous areas. this is a recipe for future wars and instability on our continent. it is much better to... make it so that putin clearly understands that ukraine will join nato, which he cannot do there is nothing to prevent this, that ukraine has turned into the first line of deterrence against russia, and that the continuation of this war

cannot in any way be stopped or for... get inevitable, and ukraine's own invitation to join nato can help ensure peace. ukraine has the right to exist as a free democratic and independent country. the ukrainian people have the right to decide the future of their own country. and you have the right to live in freedom and peace, and let me assure you that i fully support the peace formula, but at the same time the road to peace needs russian defeat and ukraine's integration into nato and the european union. glory to ukraine.

glory to the heroes, thank you, i really want to have time to talk about security guarantees. we have limited time, of course i want to answer the questions of colleagues from the hall, i suggest moving on, well , to answer briefly, the next question is for mr. lubinets: dmytro, recently there was news that we returned 11 children, and as always in in such cases, so many or so few, please tell me how this process generally moves, what are the difficulties on the way? thank you i i will probably say that there is a team here that will always demand even more from itself, first of all. results, if we compare it with the total number of children deported by the russian federation or illegally relocated within the temporarily occupied territory of ukraine, this number is small, but if you remember that for a specific family we returned a specific child, then it is clear success. by the way, in this return, for example, there were two

girls, twins who were two years old, and there was a boy who was tried to be returned. twice, i will not say who, but, without success, the third time when we already dealt with this issue, we returned it. i am sure that , coming back to the generally peaceful initiative of our president, this is definitely a challenge to the state of the international system that we have now. colleagues, let's be honest, there is no human rights protection system in the world, no, it does not exist. we have 10 years. war against our country. 2 years of full-scale war, 10 years russians deport ukrainian children. what is the answer? none. we still are dis we are thinking about the responsibility of the russian federation. we are still trying to convince our partners that we need to launch a special tribunal, that we are asking them to recognize the actions

of the russian federation as genocide, and we are doing it. now ukraine has become the de facto leaders, the president of ukraine, the leader of writing a new world order. it must be said. i personally do not believe in international organizations, with all due respect or disrespect to. them, but these are realities, yes, we believe in specific countries, we believe in qatar, which helped us return these 11 children, i believe in the efforts of the vatican, i would also like to say today that we have very often, i even hear, andriy borisovych, critics that you hold meetings again and again, where the results, i wanted to say today , the result of jida, that when the delegation from... qatar came, it happened on sunday and they said that we are ready to try our efforts on the children, the head of the delegation andriy borisovych said: dmytro, go with them, it was on

sunday, the next day i was already in doha as a result you see qatar started return our children, the result of malta, canada took the initiative to create a large international coalition of return our children, 70 countries. 70 countries have already joined it, i don’t want to announce it, but i know that tomorrow we will have the next step, you will all learn about it, but the problem is that ukraine is constantly trying to appeal to our partners to help us protect our ukrainian citizens, we demand that it was really you that all the actions of the russian federation be recognized as genocide, the last resolution of the parliamentary assembly of the council europe has finally recognized the russian federation as a terrorist-supporting country, although here too,

the definition is probably not very correct, the russian federation is a terrorist country, and they are committing genocide against our ukrainian children, our citizens of ukraine. if we return one child every day, one ukrainian child, we need 55 years. do we... do we have such time, no, we don't, and we constantly emphasize that ukrainian children are a resource for the russians, they record all ukrainian children in military organizations, they they are raising soldiers from them, they are washing our children from the city, and in the future they must be members of the russian army and will fight against us or against another country, including against those countries that are currently occupying... a position, well, it’s not us concerns, surely we will not help ukraine. the russian federation violates the rights of our citizens every day. a separate question,

the rights of our prisoners of war, a large team, i will be very brief. i think that we can still talk about this with kirill oleksiiovych, so i will say very briefly that a large team, which is included in the cache of prisoners of war, deals with this issue , and the president personally. and andrii borisovych raise this issue at all meetings. 3135 citizens of ukraine, 147 civilian hostages were returned. but again, every day we understand that all our prisoners of war, who are on the territory of the russian federation, are under torture. 90% go through torture. these are not our numbers, these are numbers including, for example, representatives of the united nations, but... again, what is the answer? representatives of the icrc, the international committee of the red cross, the only organization with a unique mandate to protect the rights of prisoners of war, have not been able

to enter the places where the russians are holding our prisoners of war for 10 years. as a result, you can see the condition in which we return our heroes, heroines from russian captivity, and civilian hostages, the last category of ukrainian citizens whom we care for and whom we are trying to bring back. if there is some progress regarding children, i understand that there are exchange processes regarding prisoners of war, what should be done with civilians? by according to our unofficial data, approximately 28,000 ukrainian citizens are in russian prisons. journalists, representatives of local self-government, representatives of churches, international representatives. think about it, three representatives of the osce organization, official, were detained, two in the donetsk region, one in the luhansk region, we have not been able to release them for several years. and

all this time, the russian federation is a member of the osce. isn't this an indicator that we have a crisis of international organizations. we cannot exchange civilians for civilians. it prohibited by international humanitarian law. we are looking for new approaches. can we do it ourselves? no, we can't. we can say something about these approaches today. we, we must talk about these approaches. we are looking for countries that are... officially willing to join the process of returning civilian hostages, as of now, i can publicly inform that the last trip to qatar, which was a week ago, in a meeting with the prime minister, it was said that we are willing to try its efforts to return civilian hostages, that is, it is a coalition of children, only for civilian hostages, yes, we need to create an international coalition,

like what we did. on the return of ukrainian children, only on the issue of the return of civilian hostages. dmytro, thank you very much, let's move on to vladyslav vlasyuk. vlad, i want to talk to you about sanctions. so, the first point: you often complain that there are certain difficulties with the observance of sanctions by some countries of the global south, that even the leaders of some european countries say that sanctions are not... necessary and not as a communicator, you may not be asked about the communication of the russians regarding the ineffectiveness of sanctions, they have been working very actively lately, apparently for the last six months, i understand that there are a number of information campaigns about the ineffectiveness of sanctions, please comment sanctions are a fantastic tool, in contrast to, we are now talking about the return of prisoners, about

international instruments, the tribunal of sanctions is an economic, flexible, fast, effective tool, and even it is not enough. even world records with the number of sanctions against russia is still not enough to stop russian aggression and their desire to fight. and the global south in this regard, it has such a great feature, on the one hand, they help us, on the other hand, they are not always really connected. with the economy of russia so that the sanctions effect on them would make sense, but on the third hand, those of you who did not come past our small exhibition of microelectronics in russian weapons, they saw that many of those microelectronics from the western world enter through separate third world countries, according to what we see, we see that about 40 countries have now joined the sanctions, we see that

the countries of the global south and... neighbors, six neighboring countries, plus china with russia, they are part of the sanctions, they help to ensure compliance, but part of the sanctions in part, they say: well, listen, these are your sanctions, we do not join them, we respect them, well, maybe sometimes business is business, and this business, is there business, this is such a challenge, with which we and our partners 40 of the countries of the sectional coalition, we are constantly working, but... really another challenge is communications, it is propaganda, we already see even now, even within the european union , some leaders of the country who question the effectiveness of the sanctions instrument, and we must only answer this in a way of demonstrating the effect of sanctions, you have some of the numbers clearly in front of you, that is, these are the losses, these are the hundreds of billions that russia has lost, these are

the hundreds of people... that russia will lose, they just don't understand it yet, but it's already these losses are laid, sanctions do not work so quickly, we want them to work faster, we demand from partners to act faster, but already now the level of sanctions that we have, well, these are actually world records in terms of quantity, quality, structure and depth sanctions thank you, thank you very much, vladyslav, i will now ask, by the way, to display a slide with... uh, the network of friends of ukraine, and because we have a video that we want to show you, and we must first explain why we want to show it . so, in the last two years, we have created a whole in the office a number of international working groups, these are very different groups, from the sanctions group, to the security guarantees group, to the return group.
