Speaker of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, Valentina Matviyenko, arrived in Switzerland yesterday, July 27. She should be on trial, states spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Heorhii Tykhyi, according to the MFA of Ukraine on Facebook.
"Matviyenko belongs in the dock, not at international conferences. Her admission to Geneva is disgraceful and should never have happened. Genocidal Matviyenko bears personal responsibility for the crime of aggression and the subsequent atrocities following her public endorsement of the deployment of Russian armed forces into Ukrainian territory," Tykhyi emphasized.
He called on all participants of the conference she arrived at to refrain from shaking her hand, which is "stained with Ukrainian blood."
"We will continue to tirelessly work toward another trip for Valentina Matviyenko — one she truly deserves — to The Hague, where the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine will soon begin its work," the MFA spokesperson added.
Scandalous statement by Matviyenko
Speaker of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, Valentina Matviyenko, previously confirmed that Russia has no intention of making any concessions to end the war with Ukraine.
In particular, she pledged that Moscow would not back down "one iota" from the demands it voiced in Istanbul in 2022.
