Even some of those who helped invade Ukraine and who still support ‘Russian world’ ideology admit that Russia has brought only devastation and suffering to occupied Donbas

On September 27th The T4P (Tribunal for Putin) initiative presents two submissions to the International Criminal Court regarding crimes against humanity.

Pavlo Zaporozhets is facing a 20-year sentence or life imprisonment under Russian legislation although he is accused only of actions, carried out by a Ukrainian defender, against the Russians who had invaded and seized Kherson

Relatives believe that Anastasia and Valery Saksahansky were abducted and killed because they had refused to take Russian citizenship

Russia seems to have had difficulty finding international lawyers to represent it in this case, in which its arguments concentrate on the same lies about a ‘neo-Nazi regime’ committing ‘genocide against Russian-speakers’ peddled since 2014

Moscow is still refusing to say where it is imprisoning Ihor Kolykhaev and is illegally refusing to let the Red Cross see him, very likely because of the torture he reportedly endured

Mariupol residents are desperately trying to stop Russia from demolishing what remains of their bombed apartment blocks, as what the Russians ‘rebuild’, they then ‘sell’ for profit, with such apartments “not envisaged” for their real owners.

Azov defender Yevhen Chudnetsov was twice a prisoner of war in occupied Donbas or Russia. During the second, he witnessed the horrific explosion at Olenivka camp and is in no doubt that the Russians executed Ukrainian POWs

Russia is also blocking access to areas under its occupation with this making it possible to obtain important evidence

While claiming near 100% support for ‘joining Russia’, the Russian occupiers are using weapons of coercion, including deprivation of medication, to force unwilling Ukrainians to take unwanted Russian passports

On 28 August, the human rights initiative T4P launched its submission to the International Criminal Court, detailing the acts of genocide committed by Russia in and around the Ukrainian city of Mariupol.

Released hostages have given detailed accounts of the savage torture used to extract videoed ‘confessions’. There is nothing to suggest that any of this has now changed.

Moscow knows very well that Ukrainians in occupied Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts hate them and is escalating measures to try to brainwash young people and terrorize their parents

Russia hopes to claim ‘legitimacy’ for its armed invasion and annexation of Ukrainian territory by staging door-to-door ‘elections’ ‘with Russian soldiers providing the armed ‘incentive’

Oleksandr Pohorielov has been held hostage in the Russian proxy ‘Donetsk republic’ since November 2017 yet Russia is now putting him on ‘trial’, although it may well be behind the two prominent militant killings

Russia is using propaganda textbooks and compulsory exams to impose its lies about its full-scale invasion, annexation of Ukrainian territory and war crimes on schools in occupied Ukraine

The aggressor state seized Oleksandr Zarivny from his Ukrainian hometown and, after holding him incommunicado for 10 months, came up with insane ‘espionage’ charges

Russia is almost certainly using torture and fake ‘witnesses’ to try to rewrite the facts and ‘sentence’ Ukrainian prisoners of war for war crimes which it committed

On August 22, the T4P Initiative presented a document to the International Criminal Court regarding attacks on Ukrainian civilians by Russian troops.

Yan Petrovskyl, together with fellow neo-Nazi sadist from St Petersburg Alexei Milchakov, face charges of war crimes back in 2014 and 2015 as the leaders of the notorious 'Rusich' unit, which is now affiliated with the Wagner group
