By Plenary Sessions: Eerik-Niiles Kross

The political focus is on the condemnation of the Russian Federation’s war crimes and acts of genocide (specifically, the deportation and re-education of children). This stance is strongly value-based, emphasizing violations of international law (the Genocide Convention and the Geneva Conventions). The speaker strongly supports the protection of the identity and rights of Ukrainian children and draws parallels with the March Deportation carried out by the Soviet Union. The political attitude is strongly antagonistic toward Russian occupation practices.
