Wars in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Ukraine... Who is going to be the next?

My name is Elizaveta Bogutskaya. I apply to all progressive mankind to recognize the President of the Russian Federation Putin V.V. as a war criminal and judge him by the International Military Tribunal for crimes against the world, military aggression against Ukraine and Syria, crimes against humanity and for destruction and enslavement of the civilian population. Wars in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Ukraine... Who is going to be the next? Chechnya. In 1999, as a result of unleashed war in Chechnya, Putin came to unlimited power in Russia. More than 250.000 civilians were killed. Georgia. In 2008, without declaring the war, Russia unleashed military aggression in Georgia, as a result some of the Georgian territories (Abkhazia and South Ossetia) are still occupied and not being recognized as republics in the world. Syria. The terrible footage of the military chronicles from Syria is beyond imagination. Bombing of civilian settlements, chemical attacks and extermination of hundreds of thousands people. The war in Syria is the apogee of cynicism of the Russian Federation President Putin in relation to Humanity. Putin said about Syria once: "We are conducting a large-scale military training that has no serious effect on the budget. It is hard to imagine a better training.” The result of such "the best training" was tens of thousands people buried alive under the rubble, killed and permanently disabled. Millions of people became refugees. Historical monuments and architecture of the country were completely destroyed and entire cultural layers were cut out. Ukraine. The occupation of Ukrainian territories began in 2014. In March 2014 Russia conducted the illegal referendum in Crimea and annexed Ukrainian territory. Now Russia continues, despite the decision of Hague court to conduct racial discrimination in Crimea and boldly violate the rights of the indigenous population of Crimea-Crimean Tatars with moral and physical pressure. Searches, arrests, detentions in jail and imprisoning of people who disagree with Putin's regime have become common in Crimea. In April 2014 the Russian Federation under the command of Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin unleashed military aggression in the East of Ukraine - Donbas area, as a result of which part of the territories being controlled by the Russian special services proclaimed themselves independent republics. Neither the annexed Crimea nor the 'LPR' and 'DPR are recognized by the World community as non-Ukrainian territories. As a result of the military actions of the Russian Federation thousands of the Ukraine Homeland defenders perished, leaving children without fathers and mothers without sons. Tens of thousands were injured and disabled. Hundreds of thousands lost their homes. Millions became refugees. "They are not there" – with such message Putin rejected the presence of Russian troops in Crimea and the East of Ukraine. "We are defending the rights of the Russian population" – this was his message, when the evidences of the Russian troops presence on Ukrainian territories were collected in sufficient numbers. The Malaysian Boeing MH-17 which was shot down over Ukrainian territory was the work of Russian military personnel, just like the plane of Polish President Lech Kaczynski shot down near Smolensk, what has been established by the investigative commission in the Netherlands and Poland. Putin is not only socially dangerous in a large-scale understanding for the world. He confidently keeps the world in bloody hands through murders and mockeries of famous personalities. Boris Berezovsky, Alexander Litvinenko, Sergei Skripal, not to mention the whole list of Russian journalists and human rights activists who criticized Putin's regime and became his victims. A special cynicism is expressed by the imprisoning of Ukrainian citizens who defended their Homeland. Film Director Oleg Sentsov was convicted as a Russian citizen. Although he never applied for Russian citizenship and did not renounce his Ukrainian citizenship Oleg was sentenced to 22 years in prison by the Russian court. Oleg went on hunger strike demanding to release all of the 54 political prisoners in Russia. He’s been continuing to starve for more than 25 days. The purpose is to inform the world that conducting peaceful sports or any other activities in the country of totalitarian regime and trampling of any norms of morality is immoral. Yesterday in support for Oleg Sentsov and as a sign of protest Ukrainian prisoners - Stanislav Klikh, Alexander Shumkov, Alexander Kolchenko in Russia went on a complete hunger strike. I'll add that it's wrong not only to go to the spectacular mass events to Russia like World Football Championship but it's also immoral to sign contracts and trade with the country sponsoring terrorism worldwide. The devil, selling resources of life, takes away the soul. I urge the world community to sign petition to the US Congress for the recognition of Vladimir Putin, the President of the Russian Federation as a war criminal No. 1 and the commencement of the process of the Military Tribunal in Hague.
