Good afternoon and welcome to the program tetatet interview on tv channel 24. Our guest today is oleksandra matviychuk. Years, because this war did not start in february 2022, but in february 2014, when ukraine got a chance for a quick democratic transition after the fall of the authoritarian regime due to the revolution of dignity, and in order to stop us on this path, russia entered the game. Russia uses war crimes for intimidation, this is a deliberate policy of the russian state. Russia is trying to break the peoples resistance and. Occupy the country with a tool i call immense pain civilian population, thats why we document this pain in our joint database of the tribunal for putin, in just these two years of largescale invasion, we documented more than 64 thousand episodes of war crimes, but you will continue to find them, because last year ukraine was able to regain part of the territory , there is a lull on the front lines now, do you continue to uncover crimes that you may not even have suspected before . Yes, because when we talk about this kind of crime like sexual violence, it is very hidden a crime, and people will dare to speak when a certain time has passed. Last weekend , russian drones hit residential buildings in odesa, killing entire families. Children, no matter where the front line is, there is no longer a safe place in ukraine to hide from russian missiles. You and other nongovernmental organizations are trying to build an argument in favor of creating a special tribunal to try Vladimir Putin. You have a national tribunal. There is an International Criminal court, why create another tribunal . Problem is that we face a lack of accountability because there is no International Court that can prosecute putin, the top Political Leadership and the top military command of the russian state for the crime of aggression, even the icc does not have such jurisdiction, unfortunately, but all these crimes , which we now document, is a consequence. The crime of aggression or the result of their leaderships decision to plan and wage this war, if we want to prevent something worse in the future, we must punish the state and its leaders who start such wars today. That is why we must feel this gap in capabilities and create a special tribunal on aggression and bring putin, lukashenka and their entourage to justice. Is there progress . On this issue, i know that there have been discussions, it seems that the western countries say yes, in principle, but in practical terms we will have to wait for such a tribunal. We have one positive intermediate step that is really important from a legal point of view. Last year, an International Center was created in the hague, which investigates the crime of aggression, and five countries have sent their prosecutors to work in this center. This means that when will be created. A special tribunal, they will not have to start from scratch, they can rely on the findings of this International Center, you mentioned the International Criminal court, it issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin and his childrens commissioner for forced deportation of children, so the arrest warrant for putin is already yes, why not support the decision of the International Criminal court and not focus efforts on bringing putin to justice. There is no competition here, the work of International Criminal judges is extremely important, and when they issued this first arrest warrant, i warmly welcomed it. Because this is a huge signal that we need in our world, that is, that we do not care that you are a sitting head of state that is a member of the un security council. We do not care that your state has a powerful military potential with nuclear weapons. If you commit a war crime, you will be prosecuted internationally criminal court thats the message, thats why its so important. But the problem is that the International Criminal court does not have the jurisdiction to prosecute putin for complex aggression, precisely for the resolution of this war. I will say more, in the entire history of mankind, we have only one such precedent. This is the nuremberg trials, where nazi war criminals were tried only after the nazi regime fell. But we live in a new century. Justice must be made dependent on when and how this war will end. We cant wait, we have to create a special the tribunal already now and bring putin and his entourage to justice. And i repeat once again that all war crimes, all crimes against humanity and this war itself, genocide became possible only because the crime of aggression took place. The crime of aggression is the socalled mother crime, which is why we must give a clear signal to the world that the leaders who unleash an aggressive war will bear responsibility for it. The International Criminal court issued two more arrest warrants for highranking russian officers and said they were likely involved in crimes during the Missile Campaign against the Energy Infrastructure of ukraine in the period from october 22nd to march 2023. This is a small step, if anything significant, as the investigation of specific crimes committed on your territory begins. Its definitely not a small step, its a big step. First of all, i must acknowledge the incredible speed for international justice. After all, we are talking about the deliberate destruction of Energy Infrastructure last year. A year later, the International CriminalCourt Published the first results. It certainly is was also made possible thanks to cooperation with ukrainian Law Enforcement agencies, which helped identify the vessel, missiles and their commanders. So it was a good example of cooperation between National State authorities and the International Criminal court. It was said that these were crimes against humanity. Yes, you briefly mentioned the issue of genocide. Obviously, it is legally difficult to prove the fact of genocide, but you have been working in this field for more than 10 years. When you read about what the russians are saying, when you see what they are doing, are they really committing genocide in ukraine . This war has a genocidal character, putin recently gave a public interview in which he repeated his genocidal intentions. He said that ukrainians do not exist and that we and the russians are one people, and we, as human rights defenders, have been recording for years how these words turn into a terrible practice on the ground, when Russian Troops aimlessly exterminate the active local population. Priests, artists, teachers, journalists, city leaders and so on. How they ban ukrainian language and culture and destroy Ukrainian Cultural heritage. As they forcefully take ukrainian children to russia for adoption into russian families. In this way, they implement the principle ukrainians, you must be or reeducate. As russians or killed. And i, as a lawyer, know that genocide is a crime of crimes. It is very difficult to prove, the standards are very high, but i can explain to our audience what is happening in very simple terms. You dont need to be a lawyer to understand that if someone wants to partially or completely eliminate a national group, then it is not necessary to kill all representatives of this national group. Can be forcibly changed. By the fact that ukraine is moving towards oneman rule. You are a human rights defender, i understand that while there is a war in the country, now is not the best time to discuss it, and yet, do you care that human rights in ukraine are not fully protected. This is a real challenge because war is poison to. Any society. The logic of war dictates centralization. Democratization dictates decentralization. The logic of war dictates the restriction of rights and freedoms by security requirements. Democratization, on the contrary, dictates expansion dimension of rights and freedoms, and these are two contradictory logics that exist simultaneously. We are in a very difficult position and we are balancing between these two logics. Victory for ukraine is not only about expelling Russian Troops, restoring our integrity, liberating People Living in crimea, luhansk region, donetsk region, zaporizhzhia, kherson region and other temporarily occupied territories. Victory for ukraine also means success in the democratic transformation of our country. We all know what it means to us.

Sunday, 17 10 at espresso. The premium sponsor of the National Team represents. In. United by football, stronger together. Dear friends, we are returning to the ether, continuing our marathon. Lesya vakulyuk, andriy saichuk, we are working for you in this studio for the next hour. We ask you to stay with us, because we have several interesting guests for you, we will now talk about international affairs, which of course have a relationship with ukraine, then we will talk about Taras Hryhorovych shevchenko and how russia decided mark his two. 210 years since his birthday, and we also want to remind you and you can congratulate Taras Hryhorovych with your donations, transferring a few hryvnias, and a few tens of hryvnias, a few hundred thousand hryvnias, and a few hundred hryvnias, for the 12th separate special forces unit, now you see these on your screens of our defenders, for whom we are currently collecting money, we need to collect uah 480,000 for this morning you and i have already collected 45,000, a good pace, i hope we will add a little more to this collection today, we are collecting for a very needed, the words of tasi korsky, who once again said that in fact the situation cannot be ruled out when nato troops enter the territory of ukraine to help fight the russians, and praised macron, again, said that this is correct, because in general, macron. In fact, it does, if, as sikorsky said, putin should be afraid of us, and not us of him, and in russia it is being actively discussed now, is this a certain diplomacy, and how should we treat it . Indeed, the minister of Economic Affairs of poland, radoslaw sikorski, is not excludes the fact that the troops of the member countries of the North Atlantic Alliance may be involved in. The country, and this, lets say, somewhat differs the position of official warsaw from the one that took place a little earlier, immediately after the statement of french president emmanuel macron. I want to remind you that at that time, highranking officials of poland rejected such a development, well, in particular , the minister of National Defense of poland, wladyslaw kosenyakes, noted that if polish troops were involved somewhere. Then only the territory of the allied countries is meant members of the North Atlantic Alliance and mainly meant the countries of the baltic region, because these countries are the most vulnerable among nato countries, and it is assumed that they may be the next victims of russian aggression in the event that the kremlin achieves its geopolitical goals in ukraine , but we can still see for this short one. A certain kind of evolution took place over a period of time, perhaps there was a reinterpretation of macrons words, especially when he already confirmed that france is indeed ready to involve its troops in case of need, so in fact we see that warsaw is really sending a signal, both to its Alliance Partners and to russia itself, that after all, poland is ready
