On June 14, the Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don began hearing the case of 22 Ukrainian defenders from the "Azov" brigade. Eight women are among them. This process violates the norms of international humanitarian law. 1/5 Image
Accusing the Ukrainian military of "participation in a terrorist organization" and "actions aimed at seizing power," the Russian authorities violated the privilege of combatant. 2/5
The privilege of combatant
guaranteed to them by Article 43 of the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions of 1949 relating to the protection of victims of international armed conflicts. 3/5
Combatants (legal participants in hostilities) are not subject to criminal prosecution and punishment by the opposite side of an international armed conflict for their participation in hostilities. 4/5
Russian authorities thereby commit the war crime provided for by Article 130 of the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War of 1949 and Article 8 of the Rome Statute in the form of depriving a prisoner of war of the right to a fair trial. 5/5

On Europe Day, I had the opportunity to address Europe with a speech. This is an annual event at the memorial to the victims of the Holocaust in Vienna on the very day of the Schuman Declaration, which initiated the European Union. Image
It was challenging for me. I have never considered myself a public intellectual or a social philosopher. My prism is the human dimension of this war. We protect people who have suffered from abduction, illegal detention, torture, rape and loss of their nearest and dearest.
For nine years, we have been fighting for justice in such circumstances where the law does not work. That is why I had something to say.
This is the long text format. Hence, I will present only the main ideas that I intended to convey to people in other countries of Europe.

At the 2023 TIME100 Gala, I was Cinderella. In the literal sense:) The airline lost my luggage and I ended up in New York having absolutely nothing. So, my fairy godmother, Julia Haart, dressed me. 1/5 Image
Julia Haart is, without exaggeration, an incredible woman. At the age of 42, she sold her insurance to get some money and ran away from an orthodox Jewish family where women were not even allowed to read. She wanted her daughters to get an education and have a choice. 2/5 Image
It turns out that such closed communities still exist in America. Girls are educated in private schools, where they are prohibited to use cosmetics, in biology lessons they are taught to change diapers, and instead of chemistry they are taught how to please their husbands. 3/4

I often being asked about role of Ukrainian women during the war. Women fight in Ukrainian armed forces, women take important political decisions, women coordinate civil initiatives, women document war crimes. A woman can perform any role she chooses.
1/3 Image
In autocracies a woman performs only assigned for her roles in the family and society. An authoritarian regime is based on these cultural attitudes. Established relationships between people reflect this society's idea of what political power can be. 2/3
This way personal becomes political. That’s why in Norway women have equal rights with men, in Afghanistan women are forbidden to study at universities, in Russia domestic violence is decriminalized because it is always a projection of what the government itself does to people.

In candlelight, I was composing this speech in my kitchen during the electricity disconnection. I was composing it in intervals between my working meetings. On the train, for long while I was meticulously considering what to mention in this speech. 1/6
My intention was to make my each uttered in this hall word be heard.
Eventually, people listened to and heard us. 2/6
They were listening to and I was speaking the Ukrainian language, which for the first time ever was sounding in the course of the Nobel Peace Prize official ceremony. I finished with a standing ovation from the hall. 3/6

Those who do not know their history are forced to repeat it. Today is the Memorial Day of the Holodomor victims. This is an artificial famine organized by soviet power in Ukraine in 1932-1933. They took away grain and everything that could be eaten from the people’s homes 1/3
Millions of people died in terrible agony. There are also ancestors in my family who didn’t survive the famine. Today, Russia is trying to erase the memory of this crime. Russia demolished the memorial to the victims of the famine in occupied Mariupol. But the memory lives on 2/3
And every year Ukrainians put a candle on the window on 26 of November. We remember this genocide of Ukrainian people. 3/3

THREAD: Does Russia have money to continue the war?
The answer is yes. Despite the already imposed sanctions, Russia still has enough financial resources to continue the war and continue meeting its social obligations for at least two more years. 1/8
If there will be no instant abandonment of Russian oil and gas, then the average annual price of Russian Urals oil, taking into account the discount and the reduction in physical volumes of exports, will be $70–75 per barrel. 2/8
It will allow the Kremlin to finance all expenses without problems for at least 1.5–2 years, including the conduct of hostilities by the Russian Army in Ukraine and the indexation of social benefits. 3/8
