Pavel Latushka: Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Representative of the Cabinet for the Transition of Power, Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, Leader of the "Latushka Team and the Movement 'For Freedom'" faction within the 3rd convocation of the Coordination Council.

"The actions of the military-political leadership of Lukashenka's regime, which led to the act of aggression by Belarus against Ukraine, must be properly documented. This is exactly the work that the People's Anti-Crisis Management is now carrying out," noted Coordination Council delegate and member of the Belarusian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Pavel Latushka during a meeting of the PACE Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights.

"By providing the territory of Belarus for missile and air strikes, as well as for the ground invasion of the Russian army, Alexander Lukashenka and other representatives of his regime committed the crime of aggression in accordance with the norms of international criminal law, including the interpretation enshrined in the Statute of the Special Tribunal.

Holding Alexander Lukashenka accountable for the crime of aggression is crucial for restoring the rights of thousands of Ukrainian civilians who suffered as a result of missile and air strikes, as well as those who were forcibly displaced from the territory of Ukraine to Belarus and Russia, many of whom remain to this day in places of internment and are subjected to torture.

I call on you not to forget the role of the military-political leadership of Belarus in the aggressive war against Ukraine," Pavel Latushka stated.
