Zelenskiy warns Russian leaders: ‘The end of your life will be behind bars’

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the legal basis is being put in place to bring ‘culpable Russian troops’ to justice over alleged atrocities.

‘It is now 2022. And we have many more tools than those who prosecuted the Nazis after the second world war', he said in his latest nightly address. Moscow is facing global revulsion and accusations of war crimes after the Russian pullout from the outskirts of Kyiv revealed streets strewn with corpses of what appeared to be civilians, some of whom had seemingly been killed at close range. During the message the Ukrainian president said ‘some European leaders’ had waited until ‘hundreds of our people’ had died ‘in agony’ to bring on more international pressure on Russia

"But we could have helped"
Helped prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths, atrocities and displacements... If we don't act now, who will be next?

I am frankly appalled by some of the comments below. How can people still be so misinformed about the war???!! It’s disturbing to imagine that anyone would mock the Ukrainian President at this point. Shame on you all!

Imprisonment would be too small as a punishment for the crimes they committed.
