"This week is special for thousands of families affected by war crimes committed by Ratko Mladic. The verdict in his trial has been delivered in The Hague. The international courts have proved, though slowly, that they can punish for war crimes. It means that those aggressors who committed [war crimes] in Crimea and Donbas will be punished as well," Zerkal wrote on Facebook.
