For decades, Russia has been using war and war crimes as a tool to achieve geopolitical interests.

The Russian Federation was never punished for them.

Therefore, establishing peace is impossible without bringing the Putin regime to justice.

This was stated by the head of the Ukrainian public organization "Civil Liberties Center", human rights defender Oleksandra Matviychuk, FREEDOM informs.

"Russia has never been punished for all the atrocities committed in Chechnya, Moldova, Georgia, Mali, Syria, Libya and other countries of the world. They believe they can do whatever they want. This cruelty has become part of Russian culture," the human rights activist emphasized. .

In her opinion, Russian atrocities in Ukraine became a verdict on the entire international system of peace and security.

"Because this is not a war between two states. It is a war between two systems — authoritarianism and democracy," Matviychuk believes.

She noted that Nazi war criminals were convicted at the Nuremberg Trials only after the fall of the Hitler regime.

The human rights activist emphasizes that we cannot wait now.

"Justice must be independent of the scale of power of the Putin regime. We cannot wait. Right now we must create an international tribunal and bring Putin, Lukashenko and other war criminals to justice," says the head of the Center for Civil Liberties.

Earlier, the Bundestag declared that normal relations with Russia would not exist for decades, because "Putin is a criminal and a terrorist."
