Ukraine breaks international law by prosecuting accused Russian collaborators, UN says | BBC News

The UN has said Ukraine is breaking international law in its prosecution of people accused of collaborating with Russia.

Almost 2,000 people have been convicted of collaborating with the Russians under legalisation drafted by the Ukrainian government early in the war.

Collaboration offences range from simply denying the illegality of Russia’s invasion, or supporting it in person or online, to playing a political or military role for the occupying powers.
Accompanying punishments are tough too, with jail terms of up to 15 years.

One accused is Tetyana Potapenko, a neighbourhood volunteer for 15 years, who is adamant she is not who the Ukrainian state says she is.

Ukrainian prosecutors claimed she had illegally taken an official role with the occupiers, which included handing out relief supplies.
