“Russia is carrying out a military invasion of sovereign Ukraine. The Putin regime is conducting the genocide of the Ukrainian people, bombing our cities and villages, killing, raping and robbing civilians, sending people to concentration camps. But it will undoubtedly lose and suffer the deserved consequences of the war of aggression, the collapse of the economy, the payment of enormous reparations. ” Speaking to Adnkronos is Arsen Avakov, a former Ukrainian interior minister who resigned after more than 7 years of government less than a year before the full-scale invasion began. “The war criminals, the government, the military who are committing heinous crimes in the occupied cities, the propagandists – he continues – will have to face an International Tribunal, a new great Nuremberg trial whose hearings, in my opinion, should be held in Kharkiv and Mariupol victims of violent bombings. If anyone manages to escape the dock, I am sure we will find him: we will punish anyone with Ukrainian blood on their hands, anyone who gave criminal orders, anyone who carried them out, anyone who was involved in the propaganda of the new Russian fascism and the war against Ukraine “. ‘international community obligation to develop new’ Marshall Plan ‘” Ukraine will face a difficult period of reconstruction of cities, villages, roads, bridges, all infrastructure destroyed by war as well as start a revival of the economy I think the international community is simply obliged to develop a ‘Plan Ma rshall ‘for Ukraine, a serious economic assistance program that will allow us to rebuild our country, “Arsen Avakov told Adnkronos.” The whole world, as well as the fascist Putin, was convinced of the rapid victory of the Russian army, of the success of the blitzkrieg, of Ukraine’s weakness and vulnerability in the face of the ‘second army of the world’. And we have shown our strong will and our determination. Today we repel the invaders, in progress – adds the former governor – is a war for the values of civilization: democracy, freedom and human rights against the totalitarian regime. That is why today the whole free world understands the need for our victory and contributes to it. It is a pity that real aid is being deployed late: many tragedies of this war could have been avoided, thousands of lives would have been saved if effective international support had started on the first day of the invasion. “” I have been so far and remain at Kiev – he says – together with the administration we have formed a voluntary territorial defense battalion, involving veterans of 2014, people with combat experience and motivation, which took an active part in the defense of the capital and today fights in the East. I dedicate commitment and resources to the logistics and volunteer group, which provides humanitarian and military assistance to combat units and helps people in difficult situations, such as homeless people and forced migrants. I also have relations with many diplomatic friends and, in particular, I try to start a pro-Ukrainian lobby in the partner countries. “‘Azov will go down in the history books, their heroic feat’ Avakov, considered one of the most influential politicians in Ukraine, who not only did he manage law enforcement, but he could also count on the informal support of far-right groups, the Azov regiment, he tells Adnkronos: “It was never an ‘informal radical group’. Since the beginning of the Russian military aggression against Ukraine, in the spring of 2014, it was first a volunteer battalion in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and later a regiment within the National Guard, Azov ‘was and remains one of the most skilled, effective and disciplined military units in Ukraine. It was precisely the Azov regiment – underlines the former minister – that freed Mariupol from the Russian and separatist occupiers in June 2014. And then over the course of all eight years, together with the border guard and the amphibious landing troops, he ensured the defense of the coast from raiders. For more than two months this year, he heroically defended Mariupol, keeping the far superior forces of the enemy engaged and preventing him from advancing into the Donbas. “” The heroic enterprise of ‘Azov’ – he continues – will be included in the manual of history of Ukraine as well as in world history as an example of courage and true patriotism. They fought, they refused to come out of the encirclement and leave the civilians, they did not use women and children as a human shield, instead protecting them to the last and sharing with them food, water and medicine until the end. I am sure – Avakov underlines – that today nobody will give credit to the Russian propaganda that has carved the image of the ‘Nazis’ and the ‘radicals’ of Azov. In Ukraine in general and in the then pro-Russian Mariupol, Azov has always been adequately perceived as a defender and true patriot. I hope that the whole world will now see its true face and, together with Ukraine, President Zelensky, who is taking care of it personally, will make every possible effort to free the fighters from Russian captivity. “‘I am convinced that Putin has plans to annex Ukraine and to incorporate it into its Soviet Union-2.0 empire “From the first day of the war, President Zelensky has shown that he is the President of Ukraine, the leader and commander of a country against which a vile war of aggression. I pay tribute to his resilience and I believe that in this difficult situation he is doing everything possible and sometimes the impossible “, he tells Adnkronos Avakov.” I really appreciate his work internationally – he adds – and I think he has given an enormous contribution to changing attitudes towards Ukraine in the world. It is true that we began to receive military assistance, seeing recognized the role of Ukraine as the last outpost in the face of fascism in the person of the crazy dictator Putin “. He became Minister of Internal Affairs immediately after the Revolution of Dignity, in a turbulent period for ‘Ucrina explains: “I am convinced that Putin has plans to annex Ukraine and incorporate it into his Soviet-2.0 empire. I think he hoped to reverse the situation with Yanukovych’s full support, because in 2014 we were provided with an extensive archive of documents from the then pro-government ‘Party of Regions’ which contained material on the pro-Russian propaganda campaign organization across the country. part of the southeast and the Crimea. I think the idea of a pseudo “referendum” on the accession of most of the Southeast, Donbass and Crimea regions to Russia was premeditated long before the Revolution of Dignity, which simply abolished these ‘tacit’ plans by forcing it to act more clearly. “” I don’t think there is any doubt that Putin planned to deprive Ukraine of its sovereignty and make it a ‘Ukrainian region of the Russian Federation’ probably from the very beginning of his rule. continues Avakov-he Just hoped to deceive the whole world and pass off the annexation by voluntary membership. And when it didn’t work out, he decided to play openly. Coming to war. “And he makes a prediction:” Putin will end badly, like any dictator. And Russia will face severe stagnation and deep frustration. I hope – he says bluntly – that it falls apart. The Russian people have the choice: to live under the dictator’s heel and send their children to the massacre because of the ambitions of world domination of its totalitarian regime, or to return to the normal world of healthy people “. ‘Thanks to Italy for Markiv acquitted for Rocchelli , it was Russian propaganda ‘Former governor of the Ukrainian region of Kharkiv, former minister of the interior and right-hand man of former premier Timoshenko, Arsen Avakov ten years ago was arrested in Frosinone by Interpol, accused of abuse of power. international arrest warrant, the court did not consent to his extradition. However, Adnkronos assures him that he has a special relationship that binds him with Italy. “He is one of Ukraine’s priority commercial and economic partners – he explains – and is one of Ukraine’s three main trading partners in Europe. During my tenure as Minister of Internal Affairs I was co-chair of the Italian-Ukrainian Intergovernmental Council for Economic, Financial and Industrial Cooperation. Together with the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs Luigi Di Maio we have taken a great step forward, relaunching intergovernmental cooperation, launching a series of bilateral projects in many areas that have taken Ukrainian-Italian cooperation to a new, much stronger level. ” he adds: “We are grateful to our Italian friends for having supported Ukraine on our path towards European integration, when in April 2022 70% of Italians spoke out in favor of Ukraine joining the European Union. In particular, I must thank the Italian justice for the just sentence in the case of Markiv, a soldier of the National Guard whom Russia, with the help of an Italian court and false propaganda, tried to condemn with false accusations. “The reference is to the story starring the Ukrainian soldier Vitaly Markiv, acquitted on appeal by the Milan Court two years ago after being convicted in the first instance in Pavia for the murder of Andy Rocchelli, a photographer killed in Ukraine during the clashes between pro-Russian rebels and the regular army. “We are very grateful for the political, military and humanitarian assistance in the fight against the Russian aggressor. I was very impressed when I saw the results of the Eurobarometer survey – concludes Avakov – 73% of Italians recognized the responsibility of the Russian government for the war, 77% of those interviewed supported economic sanctions against Russia, 63% agreed said in favor of the ban on Russian state media in the European Union, 78% agreed to financial assistance to Ukraine, 59% to the financing of war equipment, 93% to the provision of humanitarian aid. Since the beginning of the war, Italy has become a refuge for Ukrainian refugees. This is the position of true friends and partners “. (By Silvia Mancinelli)
