Ukrainian hackers have stuck again, this time at an Iranian-Russian conference where participants got the surprise of their lives over their zoom screens. Their message was clear: no one will evade justice because the SBU is going after them.
As Meduza reports, the conference, organized with the support of Rosatom, was held on 25 April. It was attended, in particular, by State Duma Deputy Konstantin Zasulin, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalaly, employees of the Russian government apparatus and experts.
The authenticity of the published video has not been confirmed.
The same message was mirrored in Sunday’s statements by Ukraine’s intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov: Ukraine vows to eliminate Russian war criminals ‘anywhere in the world’, as reported by the Kyiv Independent.
Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine’s military intelligence chief, said in an interview with PBS published on April 28 that Russian perpetrators of war crimes would not be able to escape punishment.
“Any perpetrator that committed any war crimes or crimes against humanity in Ukraine or even very egregious crimes, like the group rape or killing of civilians and children, will be found and eliminated in any part of the world,” Budanov said.
Budanov’s statements were not in reference to the Iran-Russia conference in the video. Ukraine's Security Service recently intercepted a call where a Russian soldier admitted that he had repeatedly killed Ukrainian prisoners of war by cutting their throats after interrogating them. He described in detail how he cut POWs' throats. These are war crimes.
The Prosecutor General's Office said that the agency had been investigating 80,000 Russian war crimes in Ukraine.
Ukraine’s ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said on April 17 that his office had received "several dozens" of videos allegedly showing executions of Ukrainian POWs carried out by Russian soldiers.
