According to the deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emine Dzhaparova, the Ukrainian side is currently conducting active negotiations regarding the preparation and holding of a tribunal for the war crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine and the involvement of the military and political leadership of the aggressor country in them.
What is known about Ukraine's negotiations regarding the tribunal over Russia
Emine Dzhaparova emphasised that many Western partners support Ukraine's idea of a war crimes tribunal.
The classic policy is to fight Ukrainians against Ukrainians. What we see when our citizens are forcibly or by other means sent to war against Ukrainians, — Dzhaparova notes.
She added that Ukraine is actively negotiating to protect its rights in the courts, particularly the UN International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.
We are in big talks to launch an aggression tribunal. Today, there is a group of countries that already supports the tribunal, and negotiations are underway on the modality of this tribunal — in what form and where it will take place. That is, this track on the restoration of justice is already very active. Yes, it is a little longer, but it seems to me that there will be "Nuremberg 2.0", — emphasised Dzhaparova.
The Nuremberg Trials were an international trial that was held against representatives of the Third Reich for planning and carrying out invasions of other countries and other crimes during World War II.
What is known about sanctions against Russia due to the abduction of Ukrainian children
The European Union plans to add persons involved in the deportation of Ukrainian children to the new sanctions list against the Russian Federation.
It is noted that the governor of the Belgorod region was included in the list.
The European Union authorities insist that the official is involved in the forcible deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia and is also involved in subsequent illegal adoptions.
Inna Varlamova, who is accused of abducting two children from an orphanage in Kherson, should also be sanctioned. For this, she visited the occupied city and transported them to Russia.
Varlamov and Mironov adopted the kidnapped 10-month-old girl, giving her her last name and changing her place of birth to Podolsk.
According to the EU authorities, the head of the Belarusian branch of the Red Cross, Dmytro Shevtsov, is also involved in the abduction of children.
He publicly announced the deportation of 50 children from Lysychansk to Novopolotsk. It was later confirmed by the "Cyber Partisans" group, which opposed the regime of Oleksandr Lukashenka.
In particular, the list of candidates for new sanctions includes:
Governor of the Ryazan Region, Pavel Malkov;
VLadimirr Artyakov, former governor of the Samara region and now deputy general director of Rostec Corporation;
head of the "Crimean Center for Combating Extremism" Ruslan Shambazov;
judges of the "Kyiv District Court of Simferopol";
functionaries of structures of the Children's Rights Commissioner;
heads of military enterprises.
