Full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine has become the result of impunity, so the whole world must unite to punish the aggressor.

This was the message by Oleksandra Matviichuk, Head of the Center for Civil
Liberties, 2022 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate in her address to the 17 th Annual Kyiv
Security Forum “UA: UNITE AGAIN TO DEFEAT THE GLOBAL AGGRESSOR”,
organized by the Arseniy Yatsenyuk Foundation “Open Ukraine”.

“All this hell which we now face in Ukraine is a result of total impunity which Russia enjoyed for decades, committing horrible crimes in Chechnya, Moldova, Georgia, Mali, Libya, Syria, other countries of the world. Russia has never been punished. Russia believes that they can do whatever they want. We must break the circle of impunity. We must demonstrate justice.” – she argued.

Oleksandra Matviichuk also stressed that justice should not depend on the how and when the war ends.

“We cannot wait. We must establish a special tribunal on aggression now and hold
Putin, Lukashenko and top political leadership and high military command of the
Russian state accountable”, - Head of the Center for Civil Liberties stressed.

She also added: “We have to do it not just for people in Ukraine. We have to do it in
order to prevent a next Russian attack on the next nation".
