Fragment of Polish judge ruling justification that had been quoted by PAP:
A just war, bellum iustum, is a war that will ultimately lead to the victory of good. However, it must be waged solely for the purpose of defeating evil and not for conquest. Its aim should be to recover unlawfully lost property or territories, or to defend the homeland. It must be waged out of a desire to achieve peace and cannot be waged out of hatred, lust for revenge or greed, but only out of love for the homeland, justice and loyalty to one鈥檚 country. Ukraine undoubtedly meets all these conditions in its fight against Russian aggression and genocide. Ukrainian soldiers and all those acting within the Ukrainian armed forces, including special forces or on behalf of special forces, cannot be considered terrorists or saboteurs. By pursuing the goal of defending their homeland by all means, they weaken the enemy. The blowing up of critical infrastructure of any country in peacetime by hostile special services or terrorist groups is sabotage and constitutes a crime of sabotage. However, the same type of actions taken by armed forces, including special forces during a war, but a just, defensive war, on the critical infrastructure of the aggressor are not sabotage, but military actions of a diversionary nature, which in no way can be considered crimes. In other words, Ukraine, if it was Ukraine and its special forces, including the prosecuted person, which the court does not prejudge, organised an armed mission to destroy enemy pipelines, these actions were not unlawful. On the contrary. They were justified, rational and fair.
