US deal must punish Russia war crimes, says Ukraine’s Nobel peace prize winner

Oleksandra Matviichuk warns any amnesty could encourage authoritarian leaders to attack their neighbours

Any peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine that includes an amnesty for war crimes could encourage other authoritarian leaders to attack their neighbours, Ukraine's only Nobel peace prize winner has warned.

Oleksandra Matviichuk said the leaked 28-point US-Russia plan did not account for the human dimension" and she supported President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's efforts to rewrite it in dialogue with White House.
