What is a sufficient and symmetrical response to Russian terror?
We spoke on this topic with Olha Ayvazovska, an expert on election legislation and political processes and the head of the board of the “Opora” Civic Network.
Olha Ayvazovska: Ukraine’s revenge should be cold. At most, it must meet certain international standards and rules so that Ukraine does not turn into such a monster as the Russian Federation. After the publicly filmed shelling and torture, Ukraine must communicate well and spread this information to reach the decision-making centers. Discussing what is happening in the occupied territories, Ukraine will be able to ensure the safety of its own citizens once it has de-occupied and established control over those territories. The de facto prisoners of war there have no protection whatsoever. They are protected de jure by the Geneva Convention, but the Russians do not comply with any of those requirements.
