Kateryna Rashevska, a human rights activist and lawyer at the Regional Center for Human Rights, explained in an interview with Radio NV why Ukraine's actions in Kursk Oblast do not constitute aggression.
Kateryna Rashevska, a human rights activist and lawyer at the Regional Center for Human Rights, told Radio NV that Ukraine's actions in Kursk Oblast are considered an occupation under international law.
She clarified that Ukraine has not stated an intention to liberate the region from Putin's regime, nor is this an act of aggression or a violation of international humanitarian law.
Rashevska explained that the operation is a shift of Russian aggression onto its own territory, and if Ukraine adheres to international laws governing occupation, it will not face international responsibility for this action.
She also noted that terms like "effective control" or "strong control" apply to the situation and reminded that Article 51 of the UN Charter allows for war to be transferred to the aggressor state's territory.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
