Against the backdrop of the failed offensive, arrogance about reparations from Russia has diminished in the Verkhovna Rada
Ukraine will not be able to achieve either the extradition of those it considers “Russian war criminals” or receipt of reparations from the Russian Federation.
Verkhovna Rada deputy, member of the Committee on National Security and Defense Sergei Rakhmanin stated this in an interview with Ukrainian propagandist Alesya Batsman, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Rakhmanin, in order to get all this, Ukraine will need to achieve a total military victory over Russia and take Moscow.
“If Russia does not receive a devastating military defeat, if Moscow is not taken, the conviction of war criminals is unlikely, Russia will not extradite them.
This must be demanded; in some distant future it is possible, for example, if we are talking about a change of regime, a change in conditions and circumstances.
Russia may lose this war, but even having lost this war, it will not hand over its criminals, and there are realistically no opportunities or tools to bring them to justice...
There will be no repentance - maybe there will be an apology, but, again, subject to at least a decorative change of regime. There will be no reparations either.
I think that funds from Russian individuals and legal entities that are frozen in Western countries will simply be attracted as reparations. So they will actually be used as reparations. Russia will not pay reparations.
I say again - everything we are talking about: the renunciation of nuclear weapons, the punishment of criminals, reparations are possible only under the condition of a complete military defeat of the Russian state. Not a loss in the Russian-Ukrainian war, but a complete loss.
Relatively speaking, this is the capture of Berlin and the Nuremberg trials,” Rakhmanin said.
