By KYIV. Nov 1 (Interfax-Ukraine) – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky believes that lawyers will put an end to this war, who will ensure that all those responsible for terror are brought to justice.
"The lawyers will put an end to this war – after the military, after the politicians. It’s the lawyers. Those who will ensure that all those responsible for terror are held accountable and all the damage inflicted by Russia is compensated at the expense of the assets of the aggressor state itself," he said, speaking to the participants of the meeting of the International Bar Association on Monday.
"It is precisely this kind of justice that should be the finale of the evil that Russia has brought," he said. According to him, "behind each of the four and a half thousand Russian missiles there are non-humans responsible for the deaths and losses caused by these missiles. Behind every mass grave of victims of Russian executioners, there are non-humans responsible for these murders. For every manifestation of Russian aggression, there are those who planned it, organized it, justified it and prevented it from being completed."
Zelensky invited lawyers to join the work on the creation of a Special Tribunal to punish all Russian murderers and executioners. "We have already begun to create a compensation mechanism that will ensure the confiscation and direction of Russian assets to compensate for the damage caused by this war. And I invite you to join this work," he said.
"This is an opportunity to help people who have been victims of this war as concretely as possible," he said.
