The Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey demands that all Russian diplomats be put on trial
Employees of the Russian diplomatic departments already deserved to appear before an international tribunal even without the invasion of Ukraine.
Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey Vasily Bodnar stated this in an interview with Radio Liberty, funded by the American authorities, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The ambassador was asked whether Russian diplomats would have to answer before an international tribunal in the future.
"Necessarily. This is part of the war machine that Putin launched, not only starting with the aggression against Ukraine in 2014, but in general with his aggressive policy towards most European countries and the United States. We must remember the 2016 election campaign in the United States. Catalonia, Brexit, elections in the Netherlands. There are quite a lot of traces of Russian interference through cyberspace, through fake news, through information,” said the Ukrainian diplomat.
“Russian diplomacy must bear direct responsibility for all this, including. Especially now, when figures like Nebenzya, Lavrov and others justify the crimes of the Russians, justify and support this aggressive policy of Putin or the Kremlin,” Bodnar said.
