11:26 am
while longer than so the 9. this is the number conversion number war crimes committed by the russian occupies these april alone. these russian crimes led to the desk of 207 ukrainian civil as a mom, them are 11 children and all of them. and now the 17 children are $4.00 and $410.00. we're insured in a month alone. and the full scale russian invasion has been going on for the 15 months just yesterday. yeah, it was yesterday and you know, are here southern region alone. rush. i killed 23 people. 49 without wounded. i'm speaking both civilians and it all started more than 9 years ago with the occupation of our land with occupational

11:30 am
a war of aggression is not only an international crime it to this you bream, international crime, differing only from other other war crimes in that it contains within itself that accumulates evil of the whole. that's absolutely true. we must transform the experience of the norm been processed into the 18 rule. that's why we insist on the tribunal gratian. when there is a tradition of inevitable punishment of aggression, then there will be a tradition of guaranteed non repetition of aggression. if we want through justice, we should not look for excuses and should not refer to the shortcomings
11:31 am
of the current international bought to make, make bold decisions that we, that will correct that shortcomings of those norms that unfortunately exist in international law. this is exactly what the creed, there's often during the deep we should do the same. now it would be a weakness for you and for us and for all of the nations, to live full justice only to history. it would be unfair to our children and our grandchildren to hand them problem that we can solve. that's what the tribunal is for that the system, the ability of peace areas is from the complete justice towards the dresser. ladies on child of mine,
11:32 am
it is wrong that someone in the world is still afraid to give full force to justice. you and i'm not afraid. and i'm sure most of the world is not a freight. the aggressor must feel the full power of justice only came yet. this is our historical responsibility of the more than generation to make the total punishment for aggression inevitable to prevent the risk against our country and also new wars. the are um, potential aggressors in the world, and the world must seek justice to see peace, fully, fully secured. ukrainian courts will ensure responsibility for most, for most of the crimes of the russian ok boss. and i'm, i'm, we're thankful to the international criminal court and to the entire team working
