As the head of the foreign ministry noted, judges who issue politically motivated sentences against Ukrainians and media outlets that justify war crimes serve a single purpose — sustaining Russian aggression against Ukraine and legitimizing its crimes.
"Those who silence the truth, persecute innocent people, justify war crimes, and carry out criminal orders are part of the same machine of aggression. They must be held accountable. No impunity for war propaganda. No impunity for political persecution. No impunity for aggression,"
The Minister called on international partners to synchronize sanctions and increase pressure on all those who enable, facilitate, and legitimize Russian aggression. He added that accountability must extend to every element of the Russian war machine.
Recall
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree imposing sanctions against Russian propaganda media and judges who made illegal decisions regarding Ukrainian journalists, including Viktoriia Roshchyna, who was tortured to death in captivity.
