The head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin said that Ukrainian war criminals will be punished regardless of what they say in Kiev.
According to him, the preparation for the first stage of the tribunal is coming to an end. In particular, materials on 80 episodes of crimes of the nationalist battalion “Azov” are already ready (the organization’s activities are recognized as terrorist in the Russian Federation and banned in Russia). He also stressed that the date of the Mariupol first tribunal directly depends on the work of the investigative bodies.
Earlier, the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, commented on the tribunal announced by the DPR authorities over the captured soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, if such a trial takes place, Moscow may not count on negotiations with Kiev.
Earlier, the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin said that the first tribunal for prisoners of war in the DPR will most likely be held in Mariupol. According to him, one of the main tasks is to conduct it as openly as possible.
