will push the usa to give ukraine longer-range missiles , the so-called attacks with but we see that they are not in a hurry so far, or do you count on the fact that in the end they will be given? well, i hope so. at the political level, including in those countries that provide such assistance there, those missiles that were handed over to the heimers, they performed as measurable, they noticed a very good job, many logistics centers were destroyed, many chains of supply to the armed forces of russia the federations that are on our territory have destroyed the bridges over which this supply was carried out, so er, i hope to count

. our benefit is not only in certain directions, but in general, we understand everything that we have is more effective, everything that has a greater combat potential, it really brings the effect of reducing the combat potential of the enemy, it makes the balance of forces in our favor and helps u.s to bring the victory closer to the end, i will ask if there were any publications in the western press that were the latest. i think it appeared on the website of the cnn channel that the usa does not give these missiles longer-range attacks because they are afraid of escalation on the part of russia. we have been hearing this argument. other heavy weapons because they

are afraid of an escalation on the part of russia, so that you say as a ukrainian general to these people in the west who are afraid that by supporting ukraine in this way, they will push russia to more aggressive actions like ukrainian general, i will say one thing, everything you give , including the dachshund missile, will bring our victory closer and we will use it precisely to reduce the combat potential of the enemy. when there is no more strength, we are supported by

faith, faith in those who yesterday were a student who fell asleep in pairs and a colleague who always brought goodies, faith that our heroes will win back, protect, lift up and eventually win, we do not leave hope, hope for ourselves and our strength, hope for a strong shoulder, a friend, hope for our indomitable people, we are inspired by love, love , their faces, we will see them in the news, their names will not be found in the lists of those awarded, they are unknown but extraordinary, they report on enemy positions

, put up leaflets and blow up traitors, they bring victory closer and through them in the enemy is on fire under our feet. the land is burning because it is our land. glory to the ukrainian partisans. this winter we will fight the enemy and from the east we will check the weapons and insulation of our homes, destroy the enemy and greetings to our brothers at the front and relatives from the front-line zone in the rear, we will bring victory closer to the front line and at home, we will win the winter together children of war wounded and dead,

missing, deported and displaced if you know any information about a missing or deported child, report it to the state portal children of war at the address children of work.gov.ua or at the number 0850 17:20 help bring the child home putin on the dock in the international court it is generally real as a military and political the leadership of russia will answer for the war in ukraine, crimes against the civilian population and what kind of trial will it be, the new nuremberg tribunal

will be the final end of the current regime in russia, but will russia deliver its citizens to a fair trial? we spoke with ukrainian diplomats, international investigative experts in criminal law and historians and talk about realistic scenarios of how ukraine and the world can bring to justice at the highest level those who started and are waging the largest-scale war in europe since the second world war. and why is the punishment of the guilty after the war so fundamentally important for the history and post-war recovery of the affected country and the world and the recently liberated territories of kharkiv region? infrastructure, the institute for the study of war predicted and believed that the crimes we saw in buch and other towns in the kyiv region would be repeated in other temporarily occupied territories, because this is the general model of the behavior of the russian military, this is the massive destruction of civilian infrastructure. i am sure that it is a similar situation in absolutely all

cities that were temporarily located or are under russian occupation. of the population, she was seen in kharkiv and again drew attention to the countless russian soldiers in ukraine and prompted to talk again about the attraction to the responsibility of the aggressor for them in order to understand who can punish whom for them and how to understand the basic concepts of russia's actions on the territory of ukraine can now fall under the four categories of international law war crimes crimes against humanity genocide and the crime of aggression first about war crimes war crimes are called serious violations of international law of humanitarian law, in other words, disregarding the laws and customs of warfare that were enshrined in international treaties, we are talking about the geneva conventions concluded a few years after the second world war these are not the first documents that prescribed the rules of warfare, but they significantly

supplemented and clarified them according to conventions. war crimes include the intentional killing of civilians and prisoners of war, their forced deportation , extrajudicial executions, the use of local people as human shields on the battlefield, and the senseless destruction of civilian infrastructure, intimidation of civilians . most likely, one of the reasons why russia indulges in war crimes, in addition, it seems that this is partly due to the fact that they have very little accurate ammunition and that is why they used and they continue to use not very controlled weapons in the war in ukraine, they seem to be trying to compensate for the lack of combat capability of their military by simply dropping everything they can on the heads of ukrainians, we see not only direct attacks on civilians and the use of non-selective weapons, but also the resettlement of civilians to russia, the construction of camps there and also the use of sex as a weapon of war, we have already seen many reports of rape and this will also have to be investigated, also the russians use food as a weapon because it happens

attacks on fields in ukraine, marker lask has been investigating crimes in various wars for more than 20 years, now he is training ukrainian investigators to record war crimes by russians in accordance with international standards, he notes that he has already seen such behavior of the russian military in other wars, for example, in syria and georgia, and that this does not happen again there is another important motivation why to record and investigate crimes in such a fundamental way on hot tracks at the sites of shelling and to the occupied territories of ukraine since the beginning of the invasion , ukrainian and international investigators, human rights defenders and independent investigators, they record the war crimes of russians. on march 2, the international criminal court begins its investigation, and in april, the prosecutor of the international criminal court will come to the liberated kyiv oblast, in addition to khan. after the liberation of kharkiv oblast, khan promises to expand the team of international investigators in ukraine, so in addition to the more than 40 who are already working here will arrive in may , we carried out the largest field deployment that

the international criminal court has ever seen and with in may, we maintain a permanent field presence in ukraine in the prosecutor general's office, they say that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the russians have committed more than 30,000 war crimes in ukraine, but this does not mean that all of them will be investigated by the international criminal court. but if there will be so many cases of russians that ukrainian justice will not be able to deal with them, then most likely the so-called principle of universal jurisdiction will work, i.e. partner countries will help ukraine to try the russians. although they did not commit crimes on their territory, the international criminal court works according to the principle of complementarity, which in essence assumes that the primary responsibility lies with national courts, therefore the international criminal court and the international community will, by law, first rely on ukraine to conduct such investigations oleg should emphasize that in order for ukraine to

gain trust and legitimacy in the affairs of the international community, it must carry out these procedures and judicial processes in accordance with international standards of justice and impartiality, and i think it will work out, and in the end, international judicial institutions, in particular, the international criminal court, will focus on higher-ranking individuals. they tell about what eight sentences were given to russians , mostly for looting, theft and shelling of civilian objects. the leadership of ukraine will not be able to do this and will need the help of the international criminal court uaz and the icc in the event of a war in ukraine can consider three types of violations of the rules of war already mentioned war crimes and also crimes against humanity and genocide crimes against humanity are systematic large-scale murders enslavement deportation of civilians in the event genocide refers

to the extermination of representatives of an ethnic or religious group, however, it is quite difficult to prove , it will be necessary to confirm the clear intention of the russian leadership to destroy everything ukrainian and ukrainians . genocide is a very specific crime in international law. i think that its proof will take a long time . to kill ukrainian civilians, this will require the help of various intelligence forces to provide such evidence as relevant documents or intercepted telephone conversations of various headquarters where provided information to the russian forces about the murders of civilians , there are still many other cases that need to be considered and investigated first of all in order to reach this level, and it will take a lot of time

, not only this particular war is being prepared, the influence of ideology is increasingly observed in history , we no longer have him purely he by territory or to acquire resources, let's say ideology, in the case of putin, this goal is a genocidal worldview regarding which countries and which people are allowed to exist or not, in the case of ukraine, he does not think about the ukraine of ukrainians as for a legitimate organization or people, it would have some people not even worthy of an independent state, according to the bloomberg publication, for the first time charges against the russians of the icc may be brought before the end of this year, what is the advantage of the icc, theoretically, it can judge the current heads of state in 2008 he issued a warrant for the arrest of the then president of sudan, omar albashir, on charges of war crimes and genocide, however, the icc cannot judge in absentia, and the court sits for conciliation. for putin and the russian leadership to answer for another crime, the crime of aggression, i.e. not just

receive a formal arrest and prosecution for complicity in war crimes, but bear responsibility for the very fact of the attack on ukraine, if we speak in legal terms, of course there is no hierarchy here, but the crime of aggression itself is called the crime of crimes the highest international crime and this is in principle a quote even with the decision of the international tribunal in nuremberg because it is the resolution of the war that leads to all the others tragedies and the commission of all other crimes, it is precisely these actions that consist in the initiation of war and the introduction of war into e-e that lead to the commission of war crimes that we see, which are a separate category, let's say, and the crime of aggression, it consists in the initiation war, what is war, it is the illegal use of force by one state against another state, and the prohibition of the use of force by one

state against another is one of the most fundamental, one might even say , a fundamental norm of international law, as in the law that, in particular, regulates relations between states aggression is characterized by the fact that it is much easier to prove, the nuremberg trial lasted relatively short , it is a very high speed for international law , precisely because most of the verdicts were for crimes against the world, today the aggression of the russian federation is so obvious against ukraine, we have so many decisions, including international organizations, which record this we have a key resolution of the general assembly on so that it is fixed clearly that we do not need so much evidence from the fields it is all in the open space act aggression on the part of the russian federation means that specific officials of the russian federation are guilty of the

crime of aggression and the indictment of all the crimes of aggression against ukraine with the imagination that we have today can be prepared in a few months for this optimism in international law, however, there is an obstacle, a platform on which it is possible to consider the crime of russian aggression, the icc will not be suitable here. ukraine and russia have not ratified the rome statute, the fundamental document of the court, and this is a musthave for such proceedings, so the existing un international court of justice and the european court of human rights, but they are able to prove only the responsibility of russia as a state. however, they will not punish specific people, so ukraine decided to follow the simplest but effective way of creating a special tribunal within which the political and military leadership of russia can be brought to justice for the crime of aggression against people specifically the tribunal is not to replace something with something is not to replace it is a completely additional tool to the international criminal court so that we could have an international mechanism that would prosecute

for committing the crime of aggression against ukraine, because such a situation cannot be allowed conditionally. right now, of course, it's all just conditionally. you can think about how lawyers, uh, what uh, there could be arrest warrants against specific russian soldiers, let's say the middle ranks, where are the commanders of some military units, now let's say terrible crimes in irpen, gostomel , borodyanka, izyum, and there will not be warrants against representatives of the political leadership of the russian we need a federation that can appear on the basis of an agreement between ukraine and its partners or between ukraine and international organizations such as the un or the council of europe. currently, ukrainian diplomats are working on that or to attract allies to support the idea of ​​a tribunal . and the osce and the european parliament, most of ukraine's western allies have not yet openly supported the proposals of ukrainian officials, with the exception of the czech republic, which currently chairs the eu council and

called for the creation of a tribunal without doubt inspires more confidence if this tribunal is supported within the european union or the council of europe or even a large group of european countries that would come together and support this initiative . so from a structural point of view, it is much better to do it this way than if, for example, ukraine tried to do it on its own because this tribunal will not get such trust, the second point here is that for the tribunal to have trust, it will be necessary for several really influential countries to join it and support it, i think it is realistic a possible problem because a number of countries simply do not want to create a special tribunal for the crime of aggression against the current head of state for the simple reason that they do not want to face uga that their own country will be able to be punished for some similar actions. i think that it would be best to attract this as a recognition of this turbine and by recognizing its

legitimacy, that is, even more states will join it or support it, so there is a greater chance that in the future its decisions will be accepted not only by our allies, but not only by certain specific ones states in europe but in general in the world and maybe even in a certain sense in russia. if they see that this is not only about europe, but about the whole world that joined this state, the classic picture that pops up in the head when remembering the nuremberg trial of the leaders of nazi germany, which was conducted by the allies of the victors of the second world war, a demonstrative process that put an end to the bloodiest war of the 20th century, the only one of the few that considered, among others , the crime of aggression, however, it is not a fact that the current the tribunal will look the same, adding to the uncertainty is the fact that we do not know exactly in what format

the end of the war will be recorded, whether russia will sign the capitulation, as nazi germany once did. and if not, a new problem arises, russia will almost certainly not hand over its criminals to international justice . became possible only due to the fact that nazi germany was defeated, defeated and occupied, the occupation section for four years, in general, its statehood was liquidated only then was it restored, and then in the form of two states , and the allies received absolute carte blanche to prosecute the germans, in fact, this period, although quite quickly they began to transfer these powers to the germans themselves by a german lawyer, and they launched a powerful campaign of political denazification, it is logical to assume that something similar happened in the case of russia so much can happen when

the relevant events and consequences take place with the russian federation until russia is defeated until the political regime changes in it, it is absolutely normal to hope for this the recent protests in russia against the announcement of partial mobilization once again demonstrated the political will to speed up the end of the russian regime, so it is not possible to expect speedy justice for putin and his henchmen yet , as it might have seemed after the bloody war in bosnia in the 90s, but the president of serbia and of the union republic of yugoslavia svoboda milosevic in the end all the same he brought before the tribunal gas entrance scourge to someone he started a war in his country he destroyed his country he killed thousands of people he caused genocide and he eventually ended up in the hague, so i think there may be an opinion that putin will never end up there, so why then do we need to fight for justice, because we must believe in

justice, we must believe otherwise all those people who suffered under it will be forced to come to terms with impunity, so transitional justice is an extremely important part of the reconciliation process, other successful international tribunals, the sierra leone process, he was able to convict the ex-president of liberia, charles tyler, of war crimes and crimes against humanity during the civil war in taylor's neighboring country. it was not possible to hide from justice after the loss of power and he really got to gaga. international justice played a long time in these cases . milosevic, charles taylor , alboshir, in the end, these people who were considered heroes, and now they know how authoritarian dictators have been demonstrated once, they can lose themselves, public opinion can change, so it now putin has elevated himself to some kind of pedestal, but this pedestal can be destroyed and history shows

again and again that it is possible, so bringing him to justice is not a quick matter, but indicting him will prove that the international community is ready to prosecute him and all those involved, finally, at least the preparation an indictment for putin is currently an achievable and clear goal after the creation of the tribunal, which ukrainian diplomats set before themselves, this is already an important message . thus, putin and high-ranking perpetrators of war crimes in ukraine are in the same row as international criminals, in particular, the tasty links to nazism. the ukrainian foreign ministry says it is important that the leadership of russia be responsible for the crimes committed in ukraine since 2014. the tribunal initiated by ukraine will most likely focus on the russian leadership for another, as we already have it is clear that there is an international criminal court and national courts, but it should be noted that on the dock we can see not only those who gave orders to a and abi, but not only managers were among the defendants at the nuremberg tribunal the army and the state and the leaders of the party, which is important

, but also people from the ministry of propaganda and hitler's closest circles who were engaged in copying anti- semitic images and caricatures that were plastered all over the streets of germany and the occupied territories and who incited violence and therefore there was an understanding that not necessarily yours your hands must literally be covered in blood for you to be held criminally responsible. the nuremberg trial and other international military tribunals did not punish all those guilty of the resolution and conduct of an aggressive war, some of the criminals can escape and hide, some do not live to see the end of the war or until the verdicts are announced, but such large-scale demonstrative trials are an important demonstration of the fact that absolutely evil must and can be punished. they become part of the national memory for the countries that suffered from the war and for aggressor stage of awareness of collective responsibility for what was committed in post-war

germany . they systematically worked that the legal condemnation of the regime was secondly ideological propaganda when they explained to germans everywhere why nazism was bad , starting from renaming streets, demolishing monuments to nazism, destroying symbols, ending with the fact that the civilian population of germany was actually involved in visiting former concentration camps and burying the corpses of the dead prisoners, that is, to see with their own eyes what their regime has done, and to create in them a sense of personal responsibility for the actions of their politicians, that is what wars have end well and even though it sounds like complete hypocrisy because how can a war end well but wars must end justly and they must end with a promise that there will be

transitional justice otherwise the offense will remain forever cheerful of course it will happen there will be an end to the war and there will be justice this is also necessary for the restoration of civilization of the global community of humanity so that people are free because in this fundamental human rights with which we all agree so that we do not return to that the point to which putin tried so hard to push us , he tried to drag us back a century, he tried to cancel this regime of international respect for human and everyone's rights and the institutions that we created, national courts, an international criminal court, a military tribunal, the crimes of russians that they commit in ukraine will be considered at various levels, as we explained in this video, but the uncertainty surrounding the main question of whether we will see putin and his henchmen behind bars remains as it is and remains to be assumed how exactly will the end of the war be recorded and how will the fall of the current regime in russia take place, because

as the experience of previous post-war justice shows, these are the main conditions for seeing the perpetrators of aggression on trial, and maybe this time it will be different . water we believe in our victory glory to the defenders of ukraine donetsk luhansk kherson zaporizhzhia were and will be ukraine we will forget we will forgive we will not retreat we will not give up maybe

guns and a tank will rake wheat with me again dear, he will cry, he will go to have lullabies and go to war, someone will give a last kiss and someone will not shed a tear, he will wipe it away. and maybe someone will lose faith and strength, saving his life, but not me. i will not send him away, no matter how much it hurts. i love our land . and my beloved i am happy to accept them all border of freedom border of dignity border of
