Standing with Ukraine: holding Putin and Russia responsible for atrocities and war crimes
The Transatlantic Task Force on Ukraine and its partners, the Reanimation Package of Reforms (RPR Coalition), the Transatlantic Democratic Working Group, and the German Marshall Fund of the United States, invite you to a virtual discussion focused on the atrocities and human rights violations committed by Russia across Ukraine, including in the towns of Bucha, Irpin, Hostomel, Borodyanka, and Mariupol.
Speakers will also discuss what steps need to be taken by the international community to bring Russian war criminals to justice. They will address what steps need to be taken to prevent, document, and expose Russian war crimes and indiscriminate attacks, such as the April 8 missile strike at the Kramatorsk railway station and Russia’s use of prohibited weapons. The discussion will also cover what steps Ukraine’s partners can take to ensure Ukrainians have the support needed now, including additional military assistance and stronger sanctions to prevent further atrocities.

Eugene Krapyvin: Expert in Criminal Justice, Center for Political and Legal Reforms (RPR Coalition member-organization)
Oleksandr Pavlichenko: Director of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union
Tetiana Pechonchyk: Head of the Board, Human Rights Centre ZMINA
