To date, the Office of the Prosecutor General must record more than 20 cases of Russian aggression against Ukraine. And one of the main cases of a full-scale invasion of February 24th. There are 623 people among the suspects, including the top leadership of Russia.
The Prosecutor General of Ukraine Irina Venediktova spoke about this on the air of the all-Ukrainian information marathon, Channel 24 writes.
However, according to Venediktova, among these 623 people there is neither Vladimir Putin nor Sergey Lavrov. This is because they have functional immunity.
Therefore, for any fault or crime in Ukraine, we cannot prosecute people who are under functional immunity. This practice is valid in all civilized states and applies to presidents, prime ministers and ministers of foreign affairs. – explained the Prosecutor General.
However, functional immunity is valid only when a person holds one of the above positions.
“And when it ends (the term of office is channel 24), we are all ready. We are collecting evidence. In addition, we understand that these persons are not under the functional immunity of the International Criminal Court,” Venediktova emphasized.
