Ex-President of Poland Valens urged Putin to judge in the Hague

Former President of Poland, Nobel Laureate Lech Valens, in an interview with the newspaper Rzeczpospolita , said that Russian President Vladimir Putin must be judged in the Hague tribunal or in another international court in connection with actions in the Crimea.

According to him, the world should not accept the division of Ukraine, and instead is obliged to unite in joint force, "which will force Putin to choose the behavior worthy of the 21st century," the ex-president DW reports. “I am waiting for the world to answer Putin like a manly. Now everyone is using some combinations,” Valens emphasized in response to the question whether the world agreed to the annexation of Crimea by Russia. Valensa emphasized that the violation of international norms and contracts creates a danger to the peoples of the world, and "you need to do something so that everyone knows that it will be judged for such."

“You need to ask every country quietly:“ What are you actually sincere, you can do it for Ukraine? ”In this way we would know how we can fight and who is our ally,” said Valens.

The ex-president also emphasized that the introduction of sanctions against Russia is few. “We must figure out what is with Russian gas and trade. We can afford to exclude Russia from economic life. We need to create a Commission of solidarity that will receive certain obligations from each country of the world and will make sure that each of these countries has realized them,” the Polish politician said.

At the same time, Valensa imposes responsibility to Putin not only for the annexation of Crimea, but also for victims on the Maidan in Kyiv - according to him, the world "cannot forgive" this, and such behavior "will end badly for everyone."
