If there was still any doubt that London’s intention towards Moscow is total war, the speech of British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss at the British Embassy in Warsaw on April 4, after meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, should remove it once and for all. “What we have seen on the streets of Irpin and Bucha are scenes that we will never forget. We have seen butchery, evidence of rape and sexual violence as well as the indiscriminate killing of civilians,” she said. “We will ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice for these barbaric crimes. And together with our allies we will step up our efforts to stop Putin’s appalling war.” (https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/we-will-not-rest-until-putin-fails-and-ukraine-prevails-foreign-secretarys-speech-in-warsaw)
Truss bragged that three weeks ago, “the U.K. led 41 states to refer these atrocities to the International Criminal Court,” that the U.K. is providing additional funding to the ICC and that the U.K. government has appointed former ICC judge Sir Howard Morrison as an independent adviser to the Ukrainian prosecutor general. “And today, I can announce that we are launching a £10 million civil society fund to support organizations in Ukraine, including those helping the victims of conflict-related sexual violence,” she said. “We will not rest until these criminals have been brought to justice. We are clear that after these appalling crimes Russia has no place on the Human Rights Council.
