Ukraine will punish every soldier involved in the Russian invasion/ArmyInform
Russian invaders who come to Ukraine to fight are sure that no one will punish them for participating in hostilities. Like, they bear exclusively collective responsibility for what they have done, and if they are captured, they will be quickly exchanged.
According to Channel 24 sources, in fact, the situation with the punishment of Russians for what they have committed is somewhat different. The Ukrainian authorities are actively involved in the drafting of relevant bills and are consulting with international experts in order to prosecute each of the Rashists in general. Even if he didn't shoot. Even if he did not cross the border, but simply transported equipment from military units to training grounds, serviced aircraft or was engaged in the redeployment of missile systems. This also applies to Belarusians.
Every Russian soldier from private to general will be punished for participating in the war against Ukraine. Those who commit crimes such as looting, torture, rape or murder will receive from 30 years to life. The occupiers, on whose hands there is no blood, will stay behind bars for at least several years.
Individual liability is possible
As international lawyers say, the problem of bringing rashists to justice lies solely in investigating the actions of everyone. There are lists of all Russian servicemen who are directly involved in the battles against the defenders of Ukraine. There is also a list of all Russians and Belarusians who are somehow involved in the war.
For some reason, the Russian military believes that they simply cannot be judged for participating in the invasion, they were following orders from the top leadership of their country. However, according to the current Ukrainian and international legislation, everyone who has committed war crimes will bear responsibility for this. Those who did not kill, rape or loot are falsely counting on the fact that there is nothing to blame them for, since they were involved in the genocide of the Ukrainian people, encroached on the territorial integrity of Ukraine and committed a number of other crimes, simply by appearing on our territory with weapons
The best experts in international law in Ukraine, the USA, Great Britain and other civilized countries have already begun the procedure for bringing every Rashist to justice for genocide, and this crime also has no statute of limitations. However, if the issue of an international tribunal can drag on for many years, any Ukrainian court can condemn in absentia each of the occupiers for encroaching on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine. This means only one thing: even if a Russian returns home after the war, he will be wanted internationally.
Also, the Russians may not expect their punishment to be greatly delayed. In addition to direct criminal prosecution, diplomats have already launched a procedure for announcing sanctions against them and their family members – with a ban on entry to civilized countries of the world, closing accounts and all other nuances. And those countries that do not join the restrictions can detain criminals due to their being on the international wanted list. This also applies to Egypt, and Turkey, and Georgia, and other countries that the Russians consider “friendly”.
Judging by conversations with many captured Russians, the invaders are counting on the fact that investigators will not be able to prove their guilt in committing crimes, and also that law enforcement officers will never cope with such a volume of work. However, thousands of Ukrainian and foreign investigators are now working to uncover war crimes committed by Russians. They operate with a full set of evidence, all possible photos, videos, eyewitness accounts, etc. They also establish an almost complete picture of the actions of one or another occupier.
As it turns out, every surveillance camera connected to the Internet, every traffic camera in Ukraine since the occupation has been rebuilt to record video. From now on, terabytes of information are analyzed using neural networks and special programs that identify each Russian caught on the records. Including due to the fact that there are very, very many such cameras in Ukraine, investigators can identify everyone who robbed shops, took other people's things out of the entrances of high-rise buildings, shot at soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and at civilians. Records from drones, mobile phones, satellites and other sources of information are also analyzed. In addition, there is the website “Tribunal The Hague”, which contains all the known facts of the commission of war crimes by Russians. The volunteers who created the project are in touch with international prosecutors and call on all witnesses of Russian crimes to write about them in a special reverse form.
Even despite the fact that investigators and neural networks need to process a huge amount of data, the software will be able to automatically analyze and sort information for each of the occupiers in about six months, create an approximate map of its movements in Ukraine, and also identify among the Russians who directly committed serious crimes. At the same time, legally, those whose hands are not covered in blood should bear the same responsibility as the perpetrators of crimes, only they can receive shorter sentences.
Special squad for liquidation
In addition, according to According to NSDC Secretary Aleksey Danilov, a special body has already been created that is responsible for punishing Russian war criminals, regardless of the city in Russia they are in. Of course, Ukraine is a democratic state that respects the rule of law, but all diplomats and lawyers know history well and understand how everything can be settled taking into account all international relations. Therefore, anyone who committed crimes in Bucha, Irpin, Borodyanka, Trostyanets, Moshchun, Akhtyrka and in all other cities that were under occupation will never feel safe. Punishment will definitely catch up with everyone. As happened with Alexander Zakharchenko, Motorola, Givi, Yevgeny Zhilin and many other lesser-known militants.
