Thursday, April 20, Robert Badinter, former Keeper of the Seals and former President of the Constitutional Council, was the guest of "4 Truths" on France 2. The interview was recorded the day before. Robert Badinter broached the war in Ukraine when he released a book with Bruno Cotte and Alain Pellet entitled Vladimir Poutine, l'accusation (Éditions Fayard). The former Keeper of the Seals considered that "the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia is a form of cultural genocide".
"We no longer measure what a dictator is"
"It is not possible to stop Putin, so we must save his face and wait for another Putin to rise in Russia", continued Robert Badinter. The former President of the Constitutional Council felt that we are not worried enough about the situation in Ukraine. "The younger generations don't know what war is. It's a film theme for them. (...) We no longer measure what a dictator is," he said.
Asked about the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons by Vladimir Putin, Robert Badinter replied: "I do not believe in the atomic bomb launched by the Russians." "On the other hand, I believe that tomorrow, if Putin sees that the military situation not only does not lead to victory for the Russians, but turns to their confusion if not to their defeat, (...) he will use tactical atomic weapons", he added.
Robert Badinter, a French lawyer and former Minister of Justice has accused Russia of committing cultural genocide against Ukraine. He believes that the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia is a form of this crime.
The deportation, which started in 2014, was one of the most controversial issues during the war in Ukraine. The Russian government has forced thousands of children from Ukraine to be relocated to Russia for 'national security' reasons but many believe it is an act of cultural genocide against Ukrainians.
Robert Badinter argues that this deportation is a violation of human rights and that it must be stopped immediately. He claims that the Russian government should not be allowed to erase Ukrainian culture and traditions by taking away their children.

Robert Badinter, a French lawyer and politician, has condemned the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia as a form of cultural genocide. He believes that the Russian government is attempting to erase the Ukrainian culture and identity by forcing these children out of their homes and into Russian-controlled areas. He also stated that this is an example of how international laws are being violated as children are deprived of their basic rights.
French jurist and former Minister of Justice, Robert Badinter, recently spoke out against the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia in what he terms a “cultural genocide”. He described the forced migration as an attempt to erase the Ukrainian cultural identity by means of diminishing their numbers and leaving them without a home country. This is yet another example of how war has devastating effects on both civilians and their culture.
