Sputnik agency Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer visited Moscow this week and this Sunday (17) spoke about his meeting with Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia.
In an interview with the US broadcaster NBC, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said Russia’s president had agreed to take part in an international investigation into “war crimes in Ukraine”, although he was suspicious of the West.
“He told me that on the one hand he will cooperate with an international investigation. On the other hand, he told me that he doesn’t trust the western world. So that’s going to be the problem now in the future. I think an international investigation is necessary and that’s why it was a difficult discussion between us,” said Nehammer.

Before his trip, Nehammer visited Kyiv and Bucha, where, according to Ukrainian and Western officials, hundreds of civilians were executed by Russian troops.

Russian and independent media analyzes of Bucha’s footage cast serious doubts on these claims.
There is evidence that the war crimes took place after units of Ukraine’s military police and neoNazi National Guards appeared and vowed to punish “Russian collaborators”.

“I went to Moscow to confront President Putin with what I saw. You know, it wasn’t a friendly conversation. It was an open and tough conversation. And I told him what I saw. I saw the war crimes loss of the Russian army and told him that humanitarian corridors to cities like Mariupol were necessary,” Nehammer said.
The chancellor added that he had “tried to persuade the Russian leader” that the “international investigation” into the commanders’ actions after the 1990s wars in the former Yugoslavia would be “useful for the prosecution of war criminals”.
Nehammer nevertheless expressed pessimism about the future of the crisis in Ukraine, saying he saw evidence of preparations for a “major battle” in Donbass.

Ukrainian and Western officials and media have spent weeks accusing Russian forces of “horrific war crimes in Ukraine, ranging from sexual assaults and executions of civilians to other acts of violence.”
Russian officials have pointed to major gaps in the Ukrainian and Western narratives, revealing documented evidence of war crimes committed by Kyiv.
