The NATO Parliamentary Assembly recognized Russia as a terrorist state

The NATO Parliamentary Assembly recognized Russia as a terrorist state and called for the creation of a special international tribunal to punish Russian criminals.

This was announced by the head of the permanent delegation of Ukraine to the Assembly of the Alliance Yehor Chernev.

"All 30 NATO countries supported the proposals of our delegation. Such a tribunal will make it possible to convict not only the direct perpetrators of war crimes, but also the senior leadership of the Russian Federation. The resolution will be sent to the governments and parliaments of all NATO member countries," he noted.

According to him, the resolution contains a number of important decisions — increasing the supply of weapons to Ukraine, developing specific steps regarding Ukraineʼs accession to NATO, and creating a mechanism for collecting reparations from Russia. In addition, the resolution enshrines the principle of supporting Ukraine as much as necessary.

• Earlier, the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, coordinator of the working group on the creation of a special international tribunal Andriy Smirnov said that some of Ukraineʼs allies among European countries are afraid to create a special tribunal and bring Putin to justice, because they think that they will still have to negotiate with the current leader of the Russian Federation.
• On November 10, the German parliament supported the proposal of the Christian Democratic Union and the Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) to establish a special tribunal to prosecute the Russians responsible for the war against Ukraine.
