“Ukraine itself is doing important work on documenting Russian war crimes. I witnessed this during my last visit to Ukraine. And the perpetrators should be held accountable,” Stakis said.
He emphasized that “Russia grossly violates international law and must be fully responsible for its actions.”
“The only right way forward is the tightening of sanctions and strengthening the political, financial and military support of Ukraine until the war of Russia is stopped. Unfortunately, there are signs that some seek to return to the“ ordinary state of affairs ”with Russia and throw Ukraine to the arbitrariness of fate. This is deeply alarming, and Europe should not allow this,” Stakis believes.
