Sandu calls on world's democracies to bring Russian war criminals to justice

KYIV. March 31 (Interfax-Ukraine) – President of Moldova Maia Sandu, during her visit to the town of Bucha in Kyiv region on the anniversary of its liberation from the Russian occupation, called on the leaders of the democratic states to bring Russian war criminals to justice for their actions in Ukraine.

“We express admiration to those who repelled the Russian invasion. We remember the innocent victims: children, women, hundreds of dead. There are no limits to the insane brutality of the Russian invasion. We feel it in Moldova too. Many of our people in Moldova watched with sadness and fear how Irpin and Borodianka, Bucha were bleeding,” she said at the memorial service for the deceased local residents.

The Moldovan president also said that Russian war criminals must be brought to justice.

“Democracies must work together to ensure that those responsible for these brutal acts are investigated and punished. Crimes must have consequences. Crimes against humanity must have grave consequences. We must do this for the sake of those who died, who became temporarily displaced,” she said.

“And we call for justice. There will never be peace without justice,” Sandu said.

She also expressed confidence that Ukraine will win the war. The memorial ceremony was also attended by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic Eduard Heger, Prime Minister of Croatia Andrej Plenković, and Prime Minister of Slovenia Robert Golob.
