“If something happens politically, a lot can happen again militarily – that could mean additional victims,” said Kronig Romero in an interview with the newspaper Blick that was initially published online.

The political discussions at the international level give some sign of how the situation could evolve. The SRC director hoped for an improvement, but did not rule out a deterioration. This makes it all the more important to respect international humanitarian law, she said. The rules for the protection of the civilian population must also be observed during war. The SRC welcomes all steps towards a ceasefire. On the ground in Ukraine, however, Kronig Romero feels great scepticism as to whether this will really happen.
