“The solution presented now is a military solution, even if later, diplomacy can play a role in resolving the conflict,” assessed the co-founder of the Russian NGO Memorial, which was dissolved by the Russian authorities and was awarded the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize
There is currently no “diplomatic solution” to the war in Ukraine, she said today Irina Sherbakovaco-founder of the Russian human rights NGO Memorial, which was disbanded by the Russian authorities and was awarded the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize.
“I am absolutely convinced that there is no diplomatic solution with the Putin regime while it is still there,” Irina Sherbakova, who fled Russia after Russian forces invaded Ukraine and now lives in Germany, said from Hamburg.
“The solution presented now is a military solution,” even if later, diplomacy can play a role in resolving the conflict, said Sherbakova, who received the Marion Doenhoff Award in Hamburg for her years of activism in Russia in favor of human rights.
“However these decisions, this diplomacy will only be able to intervene when the Ukraine appreciate that he won the war and can put an end to it,” he stressed.
According to the Russian activist, premature calls for peace are “childish”. “Nothing will ever be the same again,” he said.
The Marion Doenhoff Award was presented to Sherbakova by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Irina Sherbakova’s efforts point the way to a “better future for Russia,” even if that prospect “still seems unattainable,” the chancellor said.
The war should not end with “a victory for Russian expansionism,” but we must not forget that Russia will “always be there” after hostilities end, Soltz continued.
Memorial, awarded the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize together with the Belarusian human rights activist Are you Bialatsky? and the Ukrainian Center for Civil Liberties, will receive the award in Oslo on Saturday, December 10.
Founded in 1989, the Memorial has worked for decades to shed light on the crimes committed under Stalin’s totalitarian regime and to preserve the memory of its victims, while gathering information on the violation of freedoms and rights in Russia. The organization was dissolved by the Russian judiciary at the end of 2021.
