LPR laces into PACE’s 'illegitimate' resolution for tribunal over Ukraine events

It is noted that the current military-political leadership of Ukraine, which has the political and military support of a number of unfriendly Western countries, is fully confident in its impunity for the war crimes committed against the residents of Donbass

LUGANSK, January 31. /TASS/. Viktoria Serdyukova, human rights commissioner of the Lugansk People’s Republic, on Tuesday said the resolution by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe that calls for the establishment of an international tribunal to investigate the actions of Russian and Belarusian governments during the conflict in Ukraine is illegitimate.

PACE said on January 27 that the resolution had been passed.

"The authors of such initiatives pursue only one goal: to get a legally justified path to prosecute the leadership of the two countries, but it is worth noting that their actions are illegitimate and will be legally null and void," she said on Telegram.

Serdyukova said that such behavioral tactics can be attributed to the inability to "find a more reasonable course of action in the current circumstances and hide massive evidence of war crimes" that were committed by the Ukrainian army in Donbass. "The current military-political leadership of Ukraine, which has the political and military support of a number of unfriendly Western countries, is fully confident in its impunity for the war crimes committed against the residents of Donbass and is not going to stop the bloodshed, save thousands of lives of innocent civilians not only in Donbass, but also in Ukraine," she said.

Serdyukova said that the criminal actions of Ukrainian soldiers and mercenaries fighting on the side of Kiev "will definitely receive a proper legal assessment."

"A trial is inevitable," she vowed.
