Explaining complex things in simple words: Russian terror, right to self-defence, Putin's visit to Mongolia

RUSSIAN TERROR

Russia continues missile, drone, and bomb attacks on the cities and villages of Ukraine. Front-line Kharkiv is under constant attack.

• As a result of the strikes on Kharkiv on August 30 and September 1, more than a hundred civilians and dozens of children, including infants, were injured. Among the dead is 18-year-old artist Nika Kozhushko.
• Russians attack residential buildings, playgrounds, educational, shopping, and sports facilities. In Sumy, war criminals attacked a centre for social and psychological rehabilitation of children and an orphanage.
• In Kharkiv on September 1, the enemy repeatedly hit one place, as a result of which the rescuers and doctors who came to the call after the first shelling were injured.
• As a result of a missile attack on Kyiv on September 2, the building of the Islamic Cultural Centre and the mosque on its territory were significantly damaged.
• Ukrainian investigators record damage and collect evidence of war crimes committed by the army of the aggressor state. Criminal proceedings have been initiated under Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: “Violation of the Laws or Customs of War.”
• The only way to put an end to Russian terror is through destruction of Russian  airfields,  aircraft,  and  infrastructure  on  the  territory of the Russian Federation and the creation of a buffer zone.

RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENCE

• Russian terror against the civilian population of Ukraine is an audacious challenge to international law and security, the concept of humanism, and civilization.
• To put an end to Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and villages, the courage of world leaders is needed to give Ukraine everything it needs to defend itself.
• Ukraine handed the United States a detailed list of priority targets on the territory of the Russian Federation that can be destroyed by ATACMS missiles.
• We are grateful to Germany and other countries for strengthening the air defence of Ukraine.
• Every attack by the Russians on Kharkiv and other cities and villages proves the correctness of Ukraine's tactics, in particular the creation of a buffer zone in the Kursk oblast.

PUTIN'S VISIT TO MONGOLIA

Putin's intention to pay an official visit to Mongolia on September 3 at the invitation of the country's President was announced.

• Putin is the usurper of power in the Russian Federation, a bloody dictator, and tyrant who has enslaved Russians and terrorizes other countries with aggressive wars.
• Putin is also a person, for whose detention the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant in March 2023. Putin is suspected of crimes involving the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children.
• Mongolia, which has ratified the Rome Statute of the ICC, is obliged to arrest Putin if he appears on its territory. The fact that the representative of Mongolia was elected as a judge of the International Criminal Court imposes additional responsibility on the country.
• Putin's  obvious  intention  is  to  undermine  the  effectiveness of international justice by using Mongolia for this.
• The official Ulaanbaatar should decide on its priorities: to remain in the system of international justice or to move in the fairway of the Kremlin's policy.
