Весь мир видит, что Владимир Путин совершает военные преступления и что из-за его войны гибнут невинные люди.

The whole world can see that Vladimir Putin is committing war crimes and that innocent people have to die because of his war. We must continue to advocate for a clear and unified approach to Russia and for further sanctions; this is the only way to stop Putin," the liberal-conservative politician wrote on Twitter on Monday.
