Moscow’s most “horrific” crime against Ukraine is the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kiev, Dmytro Kuleba, in a speech before the United Nations. “Russia has committed all kinds of crimes against Ukrainians over the past nine years, violating every part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: forced deportations, filtration camps, arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, torture, summary executions, sexual assaults, attacks on civilians,” and it is not the complete list of crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by Moscow. But the most horrifying thing is the forced transfer and deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia,” said Kuleba, who asked for “the establishment of a special court for Russian crimes.” , which emphasizes that aggression is the “mother of all crimes”.
The same request was made by Olena Zelenska, wife of the President of Ukraine, in a video message at an event organized by the UN in Kiev to mark the anniversary of the Russian invasion. “We have asked the UN to set up a special tribunal for Russia’s crimes of aggression. We all have to make sure nothing like this ever happens again,” said Ukraine’s First Lady, according to whom “genocide in a nation means no country can live in peace.” When Russia attacks Ukraine, it is an attack on human rights principles. We fight not only for our country, but for the human rights of our people and of all of you.” .
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who came to New York to attend the UN Security Council session devoted to the war in Ukraine, reiterated that “Italy has a strong obligation to defend Ukraine, we are working hard, not only in the
Arms deliveries, but we want a just peace”, because “Ukraine’s defeat is not a just peace, we have to defend it
independence to reach an agreement”.
Tajani said he would have a bilateral meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken next Friday on the sidelines of the UN meeting, where he would confirm “Italian commitment to defending Ukraine’s independence” and the fact that “for Italy Transatlantic relations are a priority of our foreign policy”.
