Ukrainian politicians cannot be punished for a trip to the Russian ear.

It is impossible to introduce responsibility, while there is no legal definition of the aggressor

Without a legal consolidation of Russia’s status as the aggressor in Ukraine, grounds for the imposition of criminal liability for Ukrainian government officials and politicians visit to the Russian Federation no.

This was announced by the head of the office of special investigations of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Serhiy Gorbatyuk.

“It is impossible to introduce responsibility, while there is no legal definition of the aggressor and the vesting status of the Russian Federation or another country, if we want to impose a liability there,” – said Gorbatyuk.

However, according to him, today nothing prohibits heads of agencies to issue internal orders for information on trips and the possibility of trips are public officials and law enforcement officers in Russia.

He also added that there is no legal impediment for bringing to disciplinary responsibility and dismissal of officials, if agreed with the leadership of the trip took place.

“This method of control of government officials is possible, given the situation in the East of the country,” – said Gorbatyuk.
