An exhibition about Russian war crimes opened on the anniversary of Bucha's liberation in New York
The exhibition was organized by the National Museum of History of Ukraine in the Second World War with the support of the Presidential Office of Ukraine. It testifies to Russian crimes against civilians, children and prisoners of war, as well as international humanitarian law and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
On an area of about two thousand square meters there are more than 1000 exhibits collected during the expeditions to the newly -mentioned territories, where the Russian Federation was terrorizing the civilian population. Presidential Office Head Andriy Yermak said at the opening of the exhibition that Ukraine considers it extremely important to create an international special tribunal for Russia's leadership.
He said that as of the end of March, 90,000 military crimes were recorded in Ukraine. “Russia's war crimes are so arrogant and obvious that the International Criminal Court has recently issued a warrant for the arrest of President Vladimir Putin. First of all, the main and primary crime committed by the President of Russia is the act of aggression, ” - said the head of the Presidential Office. However, according to Andrei Yermak, not only Putin is guilty of aggression against Ukraine.
Dozens of people from his environment participated in his organization. “All these people have to get on merit. To do this, a special tribunal must be created to judge and punish them, ”explained the head of the Presidential Office. According to the head of the Presidential Office, the crime of aggression is a fundamental maternal crime. And every suspect in his or her commission must be held accountable.
Andriy Yermak recalled that last March the Presidential Office of Ukraine launched a campaign to create a tribunal. “Within three months, we have supported the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and the European Parliament. Since then, national parliaments have made dozens of decisions in support of this initiative, - said the Presidential Office Head. - A group of 33 countries that develops the operating model of the tribunal has already held the second meeting.
The Provisional Prosecutor's Office in the Hague is about to start collecting evidence of the Russian crime of aggression. And finally, it is very important, the UN General Assembly has to approve a resolution calling on Russia to crime of aggression. " Andriy Yermak stressed that Ukraine expects the UN General Assembly to adopt a resolution that urges Russia to punish Russia for a crime of aggression. “On behalf of my compatriots who suffer, I urge all of you to support this resolution.
