EU tells Trump: You can’t pardon Putin for war crimes in Ukraine 

Any move to “wipe the slate clean” for Russia in a peace deal would be “a historic mistake of huge proportions,” the EU justice commissioner

Trump is so filled with delusions of omnipotence that he thinks he can pardon war criminal Vladimir Putin for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Ukraine.

War crimes are subject to international law and can't be expunged by making a phone call to Pam Bondi or scribbling your name with a giant Sharpie on a document which looks like an oversized high school diploma.

There is no statute of limitations for such crimes. A few years ago Germany put a woman in her 90s on trial for assisting at a Nazi death camp during the Hitler era.

In an interview with POLITICO, Michael McGrath, the European commissioner for justice and democracy, said negotiators must ensure the push for a ceasefire does not result in Russia escaping prosecution.  His comments reflect concerns widely held in European capitals that the original American blueprint for a deal included the promise of a “full amnesty for actions committed during the war,” alongside plans to reintegrate Russia into the world economy. The Trump team’s push to rehabilitate the Kremlin chief comes despite international condemnation of Russia for alleged crimes including the abduction of 20,000 Ukrainian children and attacks targeting civilians in Bucha, Mariupol and elsewhere.  “I don’t think history will judge kindly any effort to wipe the slate clean for Russian crimes in Ukraine,” McGrath said. “They must be held accountable for those crimes and that will be the approach of the European Union in all of these discussions. “Were we to do so, to allow for impunity for those crimes, we would be sowing the seeds of the next round of aggression and the next invasion,” he added. “And I believe that that would be a historic mistake of huge proportions.”

With all respect to Mr. McGrath and POLITICO, this matter goes beyond the EU itself. War crimes are a matter for the International Court of Justice in The Hague. I hope they are reserving a cell there for Putin.
