The damage to the 🇺🇦 ecology caused by russia is estimated at $35.3 billion. Millions of hectares of nature preserves are under threat.Article 55 of the Protocol I prohibits waging war VS the natural environment by way of reprisals, but russia doesn’t care.

russians continue to forcibly recruit Ukrainians from the occupied territories to fight against their own country. I would like to remind you that the 4th Geneva Convention prohibits the occupiers from compelling protected persons to serve in their army.

On November 30, in the village of Pravdyne (Kherson region),a mass burial of victims of the rus occupation was discovered: 7 civilians,including a teenage girl. They disregarded the 4th Geneva Convention which prohibits violence to civilians. They just kill. #tribunal4russia

russia spent hundreds of billions of dollars on the delusional idea of conquering Ukraine and became a terrorist state, violating most conventions on the rules of warfare.
I will focus everyday on some of those violations.

The only church in Kyselivka village (Kherson region) was fully destroyed by russian shelling. The Hague Convention IV protects religious buildings during hostilities, but for russian war criminals there is no God, nor any respect for religion

russians are shelling 🇺🇦 residential buildings on a daily basis. The Convention respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land prohibits the attack or bombardment of towns, villages, dwellings, or buildings which are undefended. But the occupiers don’t care.

Naddnipryanske (Kherson region). New Year’s Eve. A 13-year-old boy was twice targeted by 🇷🇺. First, he was critically injured on his way home. Then russians shelled the intensive care unit where he was being treated. Two war crimes. The life of one child.

In Beryslav (Kherson region) 🇷🇺 retreated and intentionally blew up a power plant. Art. 51(2) of the Additional Protocol I prohibits destruction of critical infrastructure as terror acts. But this does not stop russian invaders.

russia deported more than 13,000 🇺🇦 children
The 4th Geneva Convention calls for the facilitation of renewing contact & meeting of family members
But the goal of the "russian world" is different—to kill millions of Ukrainians & to make their children russian

rus occupiers are engaged in massive looting in the Kakhovka district,Kherson region.Looting is the signature move of the rus army,wherever they go.
They dont care that the international rules of war expressly forbid the plundering of public/private property

2nd. Recruitment and use of children.
🇷🇺 tried to use 🇺🇦 children to unknowingly provide information about the location of strategically important objects through a mobile game.
This is not just a dirty trick, it’s a war crime.

russia constantly violates the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. Occupiers have been using extremely dangerous thermobaric munitions to attack residential areas on the South,East & North of 🇺🇦. They did this though that rus is a Party to the CCCW

1st. Killing and maiming of children.
Since February 24, 2022 🇷🇺 had killed 453 🇺🇦 children and injured 877. However, real numbers are much higher. russia has been committing war crimes and has no plans to stop.

3rd. Rape and other forms of conflict-related sexual violence.
Dozens of 🇺🇦children faced this cynical 🇷🇺war crime as direct victims and/or witnesses. Inconceivable, how many of them still cannot talk about their pain...

5th. Abduction of children.
Thousands of 🇺🇦children are deported, forcibly transferred and imprisoned from temporary occupied territories. 🇷🇺state policy, incl. on adoption, contains a genocidal intent against Ukrainians and our future.

6th. Denial of humanitarian access.
Irpin, Mariupol, Volnovakha and others forcibly witnessed depriving 🇺🇦 children of access to basic things: water, food, warm clothes, medical care.

We’re establishing an International Law unit in @DefenceU
It will contribute to investigating #russianwarcrimes, implementing IHL norms, EU regulations & NATO standards.
Adherence to international law is what distinguishes a democratic state from a legal nihilist

4th. Attacks on schools, hospitals&protected persons in relation to schools and/or hospitals.
Maternity clinics,hospitals,schools,universities are among the favorite targets of rus terrorists.They will never win over the #UAarmy, so they attack the vulnerable
