Details. “The NATO Parliamentary Assembly called for the establishment of a special International Tribunal on the aggression of russia and recognised it as a terrorist state. All 30 NATO countries supported the proposals of our delegation. Such a tribunal will allow to convict not only the direct perpetrators of war crimes, but also the top leadership of the russian federation,” Mr. Chernev wrote.
He specified that the resolution would be sent to the governments and parliaments of all NATO member states.
According to the official, the resolution also took into account other wishes of the Ukrainian side:
- increasing the supply of weapons to Ukraine;
- development of specific steps regarding Ukraine's accession to NATO;
- creation of a mechanism for collecting reparations from the russian federation for damages caused to Ukraine.
“In addition, the resolution enshrined the principle that NATO will support Ukraine as long as necessary,” Mr. Chernev emphasised.
