Germany wants to see special court for Russian leaders
today at 18.23 Lukas Jacobson
A special court to prosecute Russian leaders for the war in Ukraine. That is what German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock suggests, reports The evening post.
In connection with a visit to the Dutch city of The Hague, she spoke about the matter.
The Hague is home to several international courts. But none of them today have the opportunity to judge the highest Russian leaders for the war.
Baerbock wants the court to be based on Ukrainian laws, even if it would be located outside the country.

Hello, do you know who hung the doll?
Hope they have sense enough to realize what they have done, it is Sweden’s security they have played with, somewhere there must be a limit to freedom.

Hi, I wonder how it can be allowed in Sweden to hang a doll at the feet of a political figure. Can’t be democracy!
It is forbidden to do the Hitelrhälsning should be the same prohibition and violation to hang a doll by the feet.
– Gunnar Olsson
Banning the expression of opinions (even less well-thought-out, incorrect, offensive or anti-democratic ones) can easily put democracy out of whack…
The appropriateness of this week’s puppet protest in Stockholm can be debated. Which it does. But no one has been hurt.
