Nobel Laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk:Breaking the Circle of Impunity and Holding Russia Accountable
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and human rights lawyer Oleksandra Matviichuk is embarking on an advocacy tour of London as part of her ongoing fight to seek justice for Russian war crimes perpetrated against Ukrainian citizens.
Justice isn’t just reserved for the future, to be doled out after crimes have been committed. Justice is needed now, to prevent further suffering.
Putin’s ambitions lie beyond just the destruction of Ukraine as a sovereign nation – he intends to build a global Russian empire. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an international security problem that affects all of us.
How the world responds to Russia sets a precedent for accountability in armed conflicts around the globe.
Russian occupation doesn’t mean less Ukrainian suffering – it simply makes Ukrainian suffering more difficult for the world to see.
The money funding Russia’s bombardment of Ukrainian cities doesn’t come from nowhere – it comes from their bypassing and evading international economic sanctions.
As part of Oleksandra’s advocacy tour, she is launching TheUkraine Shortlist — a curated funding pool supporting the most effective grassroots NGOs and organisations helping civilians survive on Ukraine’s frontlines.
