For over ten years, russia has been committing atrocities in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, showing the true face of the “russian world.” Executions of unarmed civilians, torture, rape, “filtration camps,” and illegal imprisonment—the list is inexhaustible, reads a statement from the Embassy of Ukraine in North Macedonia, using lowercase for the name of the aggressor country.
According to the source, one of the emblematic sites of these atrocities is the former “Izolyatsia” cultural center in Donetsk, which, after its seizure on June 9, 2014, was turned into an illegal prison (de facto concentration camp).
“Behind every year, every number, is a person’s destiny. But the russian aggressor has shown once again that they do not care about the human lives of Ukrainians, nor the culture and history they cherish,” wrote Ukraine’s Embassy on Facebook.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the IZOLYATSIA – Platform for Cultural Initiatives continue to consistently draw the attention of the international community to raise awareness of the systematic repressive policy of the russian Federation in the territory of Ukraine.
“Maintaining the attention of the international community on these and many other crimes of Putin’s regime against Ukraine and Ukrainians is necessary, among other things, to bring the perpetrators to justice. We continue to insist on the creation of a full-fledged international ad hoc tribunal for the crime of russian aggression against Ukraine in order to ensure the inevitability of punishment and prevent similar crimes in the future. Without punishment for the aggressor state and its criminal regime, the world risks witnessing similar wars of aggression again and again,” the Embassy wrote.
The address ends with a call to spread the word about the “Izolyatsia” illegal prison in Donetsk: [https://izolyatsia.ui.org.ua/en/](https://izolyatsia.ui.org.ua/en/).
“Only wide publicity can stop these crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice,” the Embassy calls.
