Today’s edition of La Stampa features a fullpage speech by Lyudmyla Denysova, Commissioner for Human Rights of the Ukrainian Parliament. As she explained, since the war broke her office has been active every day, 24 hours a day, answering the calls of citizens of various Ukrainian cities that are occupied, threatened by bombs, besieged, destroyed. “There are those who are asking for humanitarian aid, those who want information on opening escape corridors to places that are safer than those where they are,” explained Lyudmyla Denysova, whose office is also active in finding the missing, currently in a number close to 15 thousand between soldiers and civilians.
But not alone, because the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the Ukrainian Parliament will also collect evidence against Russia: “We collect complaints and provide psychological support to the victims or witnesses of violence. We got the data directly from the citizens, and verified abuses and crimes committed by the enemy troops on our territory. We have numerous tests. ” We often speak of rapes by Russian soldiers, confirmed by the commissioner: “These orcs rape our children and their mothers say: ‘You don’t bring into the world like this anymore Ukrainian Nazis‘”.
In his article Lyudmyla Denysova stated that “the invaders” have violated the February against all the Geneva Conventions, “in particular on genocide“Strong words accompanied by specific allegations from the envoy.” Russian troops have used unconventional weapons such as thermobaric ammunition, cluster bombs, phosphorus, they have planted mines in our cities. These are crimes against humanity, they are prohibited weapons to be used against civilians”.
It’s still missing the dead, bodies recovered from the rubble, so the budget so far is tentative. But Lyudmyla Denysova also speaks of “790,000 Ukrainians, including 150,000” children who were deported in Russia, often without their parents. This practice would be part of a project that would include legislation providing for “a simplified procedure for the introduction into Russia of ‘children of Ukrainian descent’. Note the term ‘Ukrainian origin’, not ‘Ukrainian citizenship’ allowed. We know that this hint comes directly from Putin. “
These practices would begin in Donetsk and Luhansk even before the February 24 invasion and, if confirmed, would “be within the definition of genocide premeditated genocide of the Ukrainian people.” Lyudmyla Denysova speaks of real detention centers for Ukrainians, from which they are not released except to transfer them to other cities in Russia, often to remote regions like the YamaloNenetsky district.
Among the classified war crimes in genocide, says Lyudmyla Denysova La Stampa, there is also sex offenses“Not only against women and girls, but also children, boys, men. We have committed crimes against them to report we ask our citizens a team of psychologists who work with the victims of violence, and “. But not everyone comes to complain: the fear of consequences is too great. “We know of a 16yearold girl: two enemies, I can’t call them human, she raped her in every way, the third was still holding her 25yearold sister, and said to her, ‘Look, this is it what we all Nazi whores will do,” writes Lyudmyla Denysova, who hopes to bring as much evidence as possible to the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
