Russia will return to international law only after reparations are paid, Mykhailo Podolyak said.
The VP said that negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation can be held in Yalta after the deoccupation of Crimea.
Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the President’s Office, wrote about this in the Twitter microblog. According to him, the subject of the conversation will be reparations and punishment of Russian elites at the tribunal.
“Russia must withdraw its troops and liberate the territories. The elites of the Russian Federation must go through a transformation. And then there will be negotiations – a constructive dialogue that will record the return of the Russian Federation to international law, the amount of compensation payments and agree on the schedule of meetings of the special tribunal in Yalta,” wrote Podolyak.
Trial for Russian war criminals
Russian war criminals, as well as the leadership of the Russian Federation, are awaiting trial for atrocities in Ukraine. The Russians tortured, raped and killed local residents in the temporarily occupied territories, and evidence of mass atrocities and deportations was recorded.
US Ambassador for Global Criminal Justice Beth Van Schaak reported on Russian crimes in Ukraine.
The National Assembly of France adopted a resolution on the creation of a special tribunal for the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and his closest entourage for war crimes in Ukraine.
