In response to statements by Ségolène Royal calling into question several abuses of the Ukrainian conflict perpetrated by Russian forces, in particular denying the reality of the deadly bombardment of the Mariupol maternity hospital, the collective Stand With Ukraine announces that it wishes to prosecute the former minister .The declarations of Ségolène Royal calling into question several exactions of the Ukrainian conflict perpetrated by the Russian forces, in particular denying the reality of the deadly bombardment of the maternity hospital of Mariupol, were not to everyone’s taste. They quickly made the political class react, from Olivier Faure to Raphaël Glucksmann, but it is now the Stand With Ukraine collective which announces to CheckNews its desire to file a complaint against the former socialist leader. In a remarkable outing on BFMTV, Ségolène Royal had denounced a “propaganda of war by fear”, and more particularly the bombardment of the maternity hospital of Mariupol, which would have been invented, according to her statements, to stop the peace process. Statements contradicted by the facts, the bombing having been widely documented. Several people died there, including a pregnant woman and her infant. “It’s unbearable for the victims to hear that, especially from a leading political figure like Ségolène Royal”, protests Edward Mayor, co-founder of the collective Stand With Ukraine. The latter explains that the collective will file a complaint against Ségolène Royal at the beginning of next week. “We can’t let that be said, so we’re going to try to move forward quickly with our lawyers, and to collect testimonies from victims and witnesses.” Ségolène Royal responded to the accusations on Twitter: “It’s false. I have never denied war crimes. What all the experts know: the propaganda of war by fear, by terror, leads to escalation. Let us recall the criminal strikes in Iraq, on the lie. Chirac, isolated, had the courage to say no.
