00:00We are commemorating the four years of liberation of Russia
00:04that also showed the atrocities that were committed under occupation
00:10against civilians.
00:13Really all these war crimes that we have seen
00:16these people that lost their lives
00:18these are regular civilians
00:22some were just walking on the street
00:24some were killed in their own homes
00:26some were tortured and raped
00:28so these are the crimes that are committed
00:31and unfortunately these are not isolated crimes
00:35this is the playbook that Russia has
00:37wherever they occupy the ground
00:40and that's what we have to keep in mind
00:42that's why the focus of our today's visit
00:45with the foreign ministers of the European Union
00:47is also to keep accountability on the table
00:51because without accountability
00:53if those crimes get or go unpunished
00:57then there is no possibility to have a just and lasting peace
01:02because justice is part of the peace process
01:06and that's why we are pushing forward the special tribunal
01:11for the crime of aggression
01:12but also the claims commission
01:14where the people can present their claims
01:17regarding these crimes that have been committed
01:21so we have a long day ahead
01:23we are also taking into the focus veterans
01:27because we also need to think about the day after
01:30how we have the whole of society approach
01:34so there are many important discussions
01:37but I think it's also important to remember
01:41it is important like you say
01:46in addition to the war that is going on
01:50in the Middle East
01:52that we don't let Ukraine slip off the table
01:55because this is happening here
01:57and now this is part of Europe
01:59and that's why it's also Europe's concern
02:01that we can keep in mind
02:01and we have to make this big fire
02:01and we are also going forward
02:01to you this week
02:01and we have to keep the end
