Russia has not only stolen territory in Ukraine, but also peace in Europe and stability in the world, according to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. Russia "has destroyed the basic principles of humanity by committing unspeakable atrocities," Kuleba wrote in an op-ed for the April 23 edition of German daily Die Welt. No real peace in the region is possible if Moscow is not held accountable for all its crimes, he wrote. "Russia has thrown us back into a long 19th century marked by colonial conquests," he added.
