Address Minister of Defence of Ukraine O.Reznikov
Dear Ukrainians!
122 hours of resistance.
On the fifth day of the intervention, the Russian occupiers were unable to conceal that they were in agony.
Barbaric MLRS rocket attacks of peaceful cities are evidence that they are no longer able to fight armed Ukrainians. Only with the peaceful people, like the last cowards.
This is a war crime. Its direct performers and organizers are doomed for the rest of their existence to bear the brand of murderers and hide. They are awaiting trial.
It will be fair if a special international tribunal is established in Kharkiv. By the way, it was in Kharkiv in 1943 that the first trial took place, as a result of which the Nazis were convicted of war crimes.
Now the Kharkiv tribunal must sentence the Kremlin’s followers of Hitler, who have already «surpassed» him.
Thanks to the heroism of our defenders, new fronts are opening up, where the enemy is suffering losses. I want to celebrate our boys and girls in the east. They have become an insurmountable barrier for the enemy, which demoralizes him terribly.
On the economic front, Russia has already suffered devastating destruction. Russian currency is converted into ordinary paper. There is the first ban on Russian oil exports.
The international IT community joined in the destruction of the occupying army.
The supply of weapons and everything necessary from Europe is increasing.
Even Ukrainian schoolchildren went on the offensive on the cyber front.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Russia have already learned that the government is lying to them. That there is no «special operation». There is the usual war of aggression. On which thousands of Russians died. Resistance to war within Russia itself is growing by the hour.
These days, Ukrainians are showing Russians how free people differ from slaves, and that citizens differ from those enslaved by tyrants. Those who have been obsessed with the rabid maniac for years are now doomed to decades of redemption.
Ukraine will win!
Glory to the Ukrainian Army!
Glory to Ukraine!

POLICY
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine on the opening by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court of an investigation into the Situation in Ukraine
The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Mr Karim A.A. Khan QC, has decided to proceed with opening a formal investigation into the Situation in Ukraine.
The events of recent days, in particular, the unprovoked escalation of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, give reason to believe that crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC continue to be committed on the territory of Ukraine.
Along with the situation in the Crimea and the Donbas, recent events suggest that the aggressor’s troops continue to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Despite the fact that Ukraine is not a Party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the state has accepted its jurisdiction on the basis of declarations lodged earlier.
Yes, Ukraine has lodged two declarations with the International Criminal Court. The first declaration concerned the events that took place in Ukraine in the period from 21 November 2013 to 22 February 2014, and the second one concerned the continuation of crimes committed in the period from 20 February 2014 onwards. The analysis of these two declarations gave the Office of the Prosecutor every reason to assert that war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed.
Russia’s top military and political leadership is bound to appear before the International Criminal Court and be held accountable for every crime committed.
This will be the Nuremberg trials of the 21st century.
Appeal of the Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights in Ukraine Lyudmyla Denysova
In 1949, as a result of the devastating World War II, European countries adopted the most important instrument of international humanitarian law — the four Geneva Conventions. With the ratification of which the countries of the civilized world have confirmed their intention never to allow such a tragedy again.
At the heart of these conventions and their protocols is the prohibition of killing and ill-treatment of civilians, the destruction of civilian infrastructure and the use of weapons that cause undue damage or unnecessary suffering.
In the best traditions of the Hitlerite Empire, the military forces of the Russian Federation fire mostly on the civilian population and civilian infrastructure, taking lives every hour and leveling entire cities and villages. Using weapons prohibited by the Geneva Conventions and a number of international treaties.
The city of Kharkiv is shelled by cluster bombs filled with «petal» mines that are recognized as illegal weapons under the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Cluster Munitions and on Their Destruction.
Enemy anti-personnel mines were found near residential buildings in Berdyansk, Zaporizhia Oblast, which are not permitted under the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction.
The use of such weapons by enemy troops against civilians is a crime against humanity and a violation of all four 1949 Geneva Conventions.
Russia’s war against Ukraine is not an armed conflict, not an absurd phrase «special operation», it is the genocide of the Ukrainian people with special cruelty!
I appeal to the international community to impose sanctions on Russia that are commensurate with the crimes of a terrorist state! The future of the whole civilized world is being decided now on Ukrainian soil! Ukraine needs your help!

State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine
Ukrainian operators have cut off communications to the occupiers by blocking access of telephones with Russian numbers to their networks.
https://www.facebook.com/dsszzi/posts/265097225801421
There are messages on the Internet that Russian occupation forces plan to cut off Ukrainian mobile communications and the Internet to replace it with a much higher signal, which will be connected to the phones of Ukrainian users. This is a disinformation as enemy troops can cut off communications only on occupied territories by disabling or destroying base stations. The State Special Communications Service stays in constant contact with operators and ensures that Ukrainians will have access to calls and Internet. Any damage to telecommunications networks is restored in the shortest period of time.
