A renown human rights investigator says there will be bad blood between Russians and Ukrainians even after the war finally ends.
Father Patrick Desbois made the remarks in a wide-ranging interview with Ukrainska Pravda published on Wednesday. Desbois described ongoing obstacles in holding alleged war criminals accountable and other challenges that will survive the conflict amid Russia's four-month-old invasion of Ukraine.
A French Roman Catholic priest, Desbois has been recognized internationally for his work documenting the Holocaust and identifying the mass burial sites of Jews, Roma and others killed across Eastern Europe by Nazis during World War II, according to the news organization. Desbois is now in Ukraine collecting evidence from victims of alleged Russian war crimes.
Speaking to Ukrainska Pravda, Desbois said that"hatred cannot be avoided. They came to Ukraine, killed children, raped women, looted, destroyed everything, how can you not hate them after that?" French priest Father Patrick Desbois said that"hatred should teach you to be careful" when speaking about Ukraine's relationship with Russia.

But he advised caution.
"Hatred should teach you to be careful," he said, according to Ukrainska Pravda."You have to understand that even if Putin dies, they will still be deadly. It is your great failure that you have such neighbors."
