184. Yuriy Sak - West Needs to Arm Ukraine to Win the War and Bring Prosecutions Against War Criminals

There are two undeniable characteristics of a terrorist state: Killing and kidnapping children. Russia does both. Even on International Children's Day, Russian bombs killed a child in Kyiv. Before invading, Russia prepared a disinformation campaign to justify kidnapping and deporting Ukrainian children to Russia. That says a lot about what this war is actually about. This is genocide according to article II(e) of the 1948 genocide convention, and it’s why the West needs to arm Ukraine to win the war and bring prosecutions against the war criminals. Ukraine needs to have the military power and ability to project power enough to enable it to bring back all its kidnapped children from the occupying state. Yuriy Sak is an Advisor to the Minister of Defence of Ukraine. He is also a Partner at strategic communications firm CFC Big Ideas. He has a master’s degree in international law and legal Studies from the Ukrainian Institute of International Affairs, and a Study and Research Diploma in Public International Law from the University of Oxford.
