Panie Przewodniczący! Na początku chciałbym zaznaczyć, że całkowicie podzielam i popieram stanowisko zaprezentowane przez komisarza Reyndersa. Dziękuję mu za wzmiankę o tym, iż Polska jest jednym z pierwszych krajów, które rozpoczęły badanie zbrodni rosyjskich.  To nie jest wojna Putina, to jest wojna Rosji. Sądzę, że Rosja powinna być oskarżona i osądzona za zbrodnie agresywną, za złamanie prawa międzynarodowego. Powinniśmy skarżyć i osądzić decydentów politycznych i wojskowych, skarżyć i osądzić propagandystów, oficerów politycznych, którzy zachęcają do zbrodni, skarżyć żołnierzy za sprawstwo.  Ale powinniśmy też dostarczyć technologię do wykrywania sprawców, np. badanie rozmów i postów na mediach społecznościowych oraz dostarczyć technologie, mobilne laboratoria i testy DNA do badania zwłok zarówno ofiar, jak i zbrodniarzy.

Szanowni Goście! Szanowni Państwo! Dziś mija 85. dzień putinowskiej inwazji na Ukrainę. Teraz, kiedy przemawiamy na tej sali, Rosjanie nie przestają celowo atakować ludności cywilnej, szkół, szpitali i domów mieszkalnych. Wzrasta też liczba zbrodni wojennych. Są to między innymi zabójstwa, gwałty, wywózki i stosowanie zabronionej broni. Bardzo niepokoi fakt, że ponad milion obywateli Ukrainy przymusowo wywieziono w głąb Rosji, a znaczna część z nich – około pół miliona – na Syberię oraz na koło podbiegunowe. To są informacje podane przez prezydenta Zełeńskiego. Służba Bezpieczeństwa Ukrainy poinformowała, że ustalono tożsamość 1140 Rosjan, którzy popełnili różnego rodzaju zbrodnie na ludności cywilnej.  Naszym obowiązkiem jest pomoc Ukrainie w doprowadzeniu do osądzenia i wymierzenia kary wszystkim, którzy dokonali zbrodni wojennych, również ich zwierzchników wydających rozkazy. Ofiary zbrodni muszą wiedzieć, że każdego spotka odpowiednia kara i sprawiedliwości stanie się zadość.

Senhor Presidente, as atrocidades a que temos assistido em Bucha e um pouco por toda a Ucrânia, cometidas pelas forças invasoras russas, trazem—nos à memória cenários que já pudemos observar na Chechénia, na Síria e em muitos outros lugares. E são bem o espelho daquele que é o estado a que a impunidade nos tem vindo a conduzir. E este é um combate que temos que fazer todos: o combate contra a impunidade!  Para isso, é fundamental que se deem meios e mandato à Europol e ao Eurojust para que atuem, de forma veemente e com total eficiência, na recolha e proteção de provas e que apoiemos o Tribunal Penal Internacional na sua acção.  Mas isto não basta. Não basta julgar os crimes de guerra e os crimes contra a Humanidade. É preciso também julgar o crime de agressão e esse crime de agressão só poderá ser julgado num tribunal especial. Por isso, é importante que a União Europeia, também aqui, assuma um papel claro e evidente de apoio à criação deste tribunal.  Mas precisamos também de cuidar das vítimas, das mulheres violadas e garantir-lhes o acesso ao aborto e o acesso à sua saúde sexual e reprodutiva em condições que defendam a sua dignidade.

Mr President, dear Commissioner, dear Ukraine, MPs, we have all seen the horrific images coming from Ukraine, and still today reports are coming in of widespread executions, rape and torture by the Russian army. It is our duty to help the victims of Putin’s aggression and bring those responsible to justice.  A joint investigation team was established by Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine to investigate war crimes in Ukraine, and it was joined for the first time ever by the International Criminal Court in The Hague. We will vote today on an extended mandate for Eurojust that will allow it to coordinate and support such efforts even better, and we will support also the Commission and the Commissioner in their efforts.  But the time to collect and safely store the daily terabytes of evidence is now, and more can be done. First, we should channel and coordinate efforts of all the parties involved, and to avoid duplication, the JIT should be at the centre of this coordination.  Second, more Member States should join the Joint Investigation Team to improve the collection of evidence.  Finally, we should make available more forensic and digital experts to the ICC to support its efforts on the ground.

Mr President, it is important that the resolution defines the establishment of a special international tribunal for the crime of aggression committed by Putin. The establishment of such a tribunal will serve not only international justice, but also will have a major political impact on how the war will proceed further. It will be a very clear signal that the community of democracies has a political will to go for the full defeat of Putin in his war against Ukraine. The West will not be able to push Ukraine for beneficial—to—the—Kremlin ceasefire agreements, and plan to return to ‘business as usual’ with a person whose crimes of aggression are investigated by a special tribunal. The establishment of such a tribunal to investigate Putin’s personal criminal responsibility will put an end also to the phone calls by some Western leaders to Putin, and will stop concerns about ‘humiliation’ of Putin. The international tribunal will take care about the ‘face saving’ of Mr Putin. That will be the biggest political benefit from this initiative: the political West will be pushed to be united for the same goal – to defeat Putin’s fascism. Let’s remember, collaboration with international criminals is an international crime also.

Austatud istungi juhataja! Eile algas Kiievis kohtuprotsess Vene sõduri üle, kes tappis Ukrainas tsiviilisikuid. Just nii tuleb kohtu ette tuua kõik sõjakurjategijad, mitte ainult need, kes tapsid ja tapavad, vägistasid ja vägistavad Ukrainas, vaid ka need, kes alustasid agressiooni ja istuvad täna Kremli kaitsvate müüride taga. Mul on valus kuulata arutelusid selle üle, kuidas tuleb aidata Putinil ja Venemaal nägu päästa, kuidas tuleb Putiniga arutada Euroopa sõjajärgset julgeolekut. Ei, ei tule! Nad on kurjategijad, kes tuleb tuua kohtu ette samamoodi, nagu toodi Kiievis kohtu ette mõrtsukast Vene sõdur. Putin ja tema kaassüüdlased väärivad oma Nürnbergi, sest ainult siis tuleb rahu ja stabiilsus Ukrainasse, sest meil on aeg õppida oma vigadest, sest ainult siis võin ma kindel olla, et siin saalis ei pea ütlema „We told you so!“ ja mis peamine – me võlgneme selle ukrainlastele.

Mr President, dear colleagues, dear Ukrainian colleagues, the war of aggression launched by Putin against Ukraine is primarily directed against Ukrainian civilians, making them the main targets – an instrument of aggression. The Russian leadership and soldiers have become the perpetrators of genocide and face responsibility. It is only a matter of time before justice is delivered. We must do everything possible to ensure that the war crimes and crimes against humanity that have been committed in Ukraine are duly documented and investigated. The civilised world must send a clear message to Russia. War crimes will be punished and there will be no possibility of hiding.  I call on the European Parliament to become as fully involved as possible in the investigations of Russian war crimes by organising public and documented hearings with victims and witnesses. Let us support the Ukrainians and their rightful demand for justice.

Priekšsēdētāja kungs! Komisāra kungs! Godātie kolēģi! Ukraiņu tautas varonība ir apbrīnojama. Pēc uzvaras karā Briselē ir jāuzceļ piemineklis Ukrainai par Eiropas pasargāšanu no agresīvas diktatūras tīkojumiem. Ukraiņu tauta šo mūsu pateicību ir godam pelnījusi. Es nešaubos, ka par kara noziegumiem, kas pastrādāti pret sievietēm, vīriešiem, bērniem, vainīgie tiks saukti pie kriminālatbildības. Tāpat pie atbildības ir jāsauc tie, kas masveidīgi izlaupa Ukrainas mākslas, kultūras un vēstures objektu kolekcijas, tās aizvedot uz Krieviju. Atliek vien cerēt, ka tie nepazudīs privātkolekcijās, bet, kaut arī nelikumīgi, nonāks Krievijas muzejos un pēc uzvaras karā tiks atdoti Ukrainai. Kā kara noziedznieki ir sodāmi arī tie, kas iekarotajās teritorijās ar tumsonīgu barbarismu posta zinātnes kolekcijas un arhīvus. Ir iznīcināts Ukrainas lielākais sēklu ģenētiskais fonds Harkivā, Černobiļas pētnieciskais arhīvs un daudz citu zinātnisku vērtību. Tie ir kara noziegumi, jo tāpat kā cilvēka dzīvība, tā arī iznīcinātās zinātniskās kolekcijas un arhīvu krājumi ir neatgūstami — tie ir zaudēti — Ukrainai un cilvēcei uz mūžiem.

Souvenons-nous de ce qui s’est passé à Alep. Souvenons-nous de ce qui s’est passé dans l’ensemble de la Syrie gouvernée par un allié de M. Poutine. C’était la même chose, c’était la même chose. Et c’est pour cela que, aujourd’hui, quand nous jetons les bases – car c’est ce que nous faisons – d’une nouvelle justice internationale contre les crimes de guerre, nous ne faisons pas qu’exprimer notre solidarité avec l’Ukraine et notre indignation.

Mr President, the wheels of justice are moving. But we need to make sure they are moving swiftly. Heroic efforts are being carried out already by both Ukrainian and European professionals to secure evidence of war crimes in Ukraine and from Ukrainians across EU Member States. These efforts deserve our utmost political, legislative and financial support.  Victims of war crimes need credible evidence in order to seek justice. We must, therefore, diligently support appropriate mandates and resources of EU institutions, especially Eurojust, in order to safeguard the analysis and preservation of all evidence of core international crimes committed by Russia against the people in Ukraine. Only admissible evidence gives due process and justice a proper chance. Only well-guarded facts stand a chance against Russian malign propaganda and deceitful methods.  Dear colleagues, Ukraine must win this war, and Russia must face consequences for its aggression. There can be no impunity for war crimes and we shall stand by victims of this brutal attack until justice is fully and duly served.

Monsieur le Président, Monsieur le Commissaire. Viols systématiques, civils ligotés et abattus en pleine rue, tortures, hôpitaux et écoles rasés... La stratégie de la terreur des soldats russes en Ukraine est sans limites. Pourquoi se gêneraient-il? L’impunité existe depuis 20 ans: impunité face aux crimes commis en Tchétchénie, impunité face aux crimes commis en Syrie, impunité face aux crimes commis en Russie même, impunité face aux crimes commis en Géorgie. L’impunité a transformé les massacres de l’armée russe en norme. Il est temps de briser cette impunité, de mettre fin à cette impunité. La justice, ce n’est pas simplement ce que l’on doit aux victimes: c’est prévenir les crimes de demain. Et donc, c’est aussi empêcher la tentation – qui fait jour dans certaines capitales – d’envisager un retour au «business as usual» après la guerre. On ne discute pas, on ne festoie pas, on ne s’allie pas avec des criminels de guerre et des criminels contre l’humanité. La place de Vladimir Poutine est devant un tribunal, pas à Brégançon.

Pues aquel que, controlando la acción política o militar de un Estado, planifica, decide y ordena una invasión militar contra otro Estado soberano: artículo 8 bis del Estatuto de Roma. No cabe duda, Putin y la cúpula criminal del Kremlin son los responsables de este crimen de agresión. Nosotros tenemos la obligación de que no quede impune. Por eso, en esta Resolución pedimos que los Estados miembros introduzcan en sus ordenamientos nacionales el crimen de agresión, condición necesaria para poder crear un tribunal especial  Señorías, o condenamos a Putin, o Putin nos condenará a nosotros a la amenaza de una guerra permanente. Tenemos que llevar también ante la justicia a los autores materiales y los crímenes, a los autores de las violaciones. Esta Resolución es un mensaje a Putin: señor Putin, la impunidad no es para siempre.

Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, la strage di Bucha, gli stupri di guerra, gli ospedali bombardati, la deportazione di bambini: sono questi gli orrori a cui abbiamo assistito nel corso degli ultimi mesi e non possiamo non pretendere giustizia per queste atrocità che vanno al di là di ogni possibile e immaginabile atto di guerra. Una guerra che, come ripetiamo da mesi, è totalmente ingiustificata, intollerabile. E allora è il momento di pretendere giustizia e di incriminare chi ha commesso, ordinato questi crimini contro l'umanità. È di poche ore fa la notizia dell'arrivo di 42 investigatori ed esperti forensi per indagare su possibili crimini di guerra contro l'umanità. È il team più numeroso mai inviato sul campo nella storia della Corte penale internazionale, e questo, cari colleghi e care colleghe, è assolutamente un buon inizio. Non ci sarà pace e noi non avremo pace finché non saranno puniti tutti gli orribili crimini di guerra a cui stiamo ancora assistendo in queste ore.

Mr President, dear colleagues, every day we hear new evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine – military attacks, including on civilian targets, rape, torture, mass executions, forced deportations, looting and many other barbaric acts continue to be perpetrated against Ukraine and its people. They remind us of some of the worst excesses of Stalinism. We must ensure that these crimes are thoroughly documented, investigated and those responsible are brought to justice. That is why I welcome the setting-up of a UN International Commission of Inquiry and the launching steps of the ICC prosecutors’ investigation into war crimes and crimes against humanity. However, we must also do all in our power to establish a special tribunal for the punishment of crimes of aggression. We are witnesses of a tragedy that we thought we would never see, and to which we said ‘never again’. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and we must stand up to those seeking to suppress human freedom and dignity. It’s our moral duty.

Poštovani predsjedavajući, mislim da je vrijeme da se Komisija zapita kome koristi politika koju provodi prema Rusiji. Ruski prihodi od izvoza fosilnih goriva prema Europskoj uniji su se udvostručili u dva mjeseca rata. Govorimo o ožujku i govorimo o travnju. Dakle, Rusija je ukupno uprihodila 62 milijarde eura u ta dva mjeseca, od čega je od zemalja Europske unije dobila 44 milijarde, dok je prije to bilo 12 milijardi na mjesec. I to će se nastaviti.  Sav taj novac preko vladinih kompanija ide direktno ruskoj vladi. Za izgradnju nekakve druge infrastrukture trebat će godine i godine. Da poniženje bude veće, Rusija sada traži, a sve više zemalja Unije pristaje na to, da se ta goriva plaćaju u vlastitoj ruskoj valuti, u ruskoj rublji.  Mislim da je vrijeme da Komisija preispita je li ta politika kontraproduktivna.

Mr President, once again, I’m calling on the Commission to act on the call from this Parliament for an EU action plan on impunity. It was called for in a resolution this time last year in the context of a resolution on Syria, and nothing has happened since.  It is critically important, for the very obvious reason demonstrated by the Caesar trials in Koblenz, that each EU Member State takes a very different approach to principles of international law, such as universal jurisdiction. In some Member States, they have a different approach to immunities, they have a different approach to the statute of limitations, they have a different approach to the type of crime that triggers a prosecution under war crimes.  So we need an EU action plan on impunity that addresses the fragmented approach taken by EU Member States.
