We will become an aggressor: Exogen prosecutor told why Ukraine is not declaring war

"In terms of international law, the state that declares war is an aggressor, even if it is a victim of attack," Viktor Shishkin explained. In particular, if Ukraine declares the war of Russia, it will become an aggressor and will not be able to receive reparations. In addition, Viktor Shishkin stressed that the UN documents do not contain the term "declaration of war". He also explained that the mobilization does not need to declare the war because it is related to the introduction of martial law.

Therefore, since February 24, 2022, mobilization has been a constitutional effect. It should be noted that in carrying out a full -scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine, Russia did not declare a war, but called it "a special military operation". According to military expert Oleg Zhdanov at the end of 2022, in the case of the Russian Federation declared, it is recognized as an aggressor state and is deprived of the right to vote in the UN.

In addition, then all UN countries will have to break any relations with Russia and the issue of resolving this war will be resolved without Russia. In particular, the fact that Russia intends to declare war on Ukraine has been mentioned earlier. For example, in May 2022, the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmigal said that according to the partner intelligence services, Russia planned to declare war on May 9. Despite this, he said Russia will not formally declare war.

Also in March 2023 in the Russian State Duma called to declare a war for Ukraine after the incident with "Ukrainian DRG" in the Bryansk region. Then a member of the State Duma Committee on Defense, Lieutenant General Viktor Sobolev called to "finish" and start a real war. " We will remind, recently President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that all servicemen should be in Ukraine because they must fight or work.
