Donald Trump’s drive to secure peace in Ukraine must not let Vladimir Putin off the hook for war crimes committed by Russian forces, a top EU official has warned, effectively setting a new red line for a deal.
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.”
Ukrainian authorities say they have opened investigations into more than 178,000 alleged Russian crimes since the start of the war. Last month, a United Nations commission found Russian authorities had committed crimes against humanity in targeting Ukrainian residents through drone attacks, and the war crimes of forcible transfer and deportation of civilians.

Trump: Watch me!
And everyone regards Politico as the highest source of law, logic, and justice. /s
Politico wouldn't be lying now, would they?
What war crimes? Seriously? I was actually shocked to see Russia follow laws. Even with his own troops. Like conscripts can’t be sent outside of Russia.
Now they may make life hard on conscripts so they’ll sign a contract, but if they don’t sign they don’t go.
So serious question. What exact war crimes did he commit?
Michael McGrath should go to the Netherlands and find a Musloid whose peepee he can hold while the Musloid is abusing a little Dutch girl...
Maybe not. But he can sure economically nuke any country that goes against a peace settlement.
The Bucha massacre was the Azov guys.
The Banderites actually have a history of such crimes.
Wikipedia is ACTUAL political propaganda.
Anything political on Wikipedia is a screaming Lefty lie.
Nazi Pelousi and the Democraps were waving Ukie flags in the Congrift, remember?
Thanks for that link. Did Putin give the order to do that though? That’s going to be hard to prove. The soldiers and commanders that did it would need to be prosecuted...if they are still alive. And then their testimony would need to be used to go up the chain of command.
I highly doubt Putin actually ordered murder the children and civilians. That’s why I just don’t see the war crimes reaching him without other evidence (like messages intercepted via clandestine means or witnesses from Russia).
Let’s see if MinorityRepublican owns up to the fact that Wikipedia is Lefty lies and propaganda.
“Hold on...”the original American blueprint for a deal included the promise of a “full amnesty for actions committed during the war” was reported to have been added by Ukraine.”
Your statement makes no sense.
No. But that is not relevant anyway. Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Army is manned by poorly trained conscripts with severe issues in logistics.
What President got convicted for war crimes in the Mi Lai massacre?
Trump tells EU: Go arrest him, then.
Was anybody prosecuted in Russia for crimes committed against humanity by the Soviet Union, like Germany after WWII?
If Europe wants to conquer Russia, to try Putin, they are on their own.
The recent crimes committed by the EU against Europe’s native populations are staggering.
Gee, since the Europeans have been *so* critical to Ukraine’s robust defense & offense, we definitely need to pay close attention to their demands!

How many war crimes will Netanyahu be charged with? He is responsible for the deaths of millions.
That’s okay, though Arabs are nothing but animals.
