Quote: "The full launch of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine is getting closer...

This is evidence that Russia's international crimes against Ukraine, which have specific names and dates, will also lead to verdicts against the highest military and political leadership of the aggressor state."

Details: On 15 May, 36 countries and the European Union officially declared their intention to join the Enlarged Partial Agreement on the Special Tribunal. According to the prosecutor general, the next steps are even more practical – forming a steering committee, the work of the preparatory team, selecting premises, appointing judges, prosecutors and staff, approving procedures and securing funding.

"The tribunal is moving from the stage of a political decision to the stage of an actual launch," Kravchenko said.

He reiterated that the Prosecutor General's Office, together with law enforcement agencies, is documenting and investigating all international crimes committed by Russia against Ukraine. According to Kravchenko, the current total exceeds 256,000 cases.

This includes more than 44 TB of digital evidence and over 1,100 suspects.

Some of these materials – particularly evidence related to the planning, preparation and conduct of the war of aggression against Ukraine – will form the basis of the work of the special tribunal for the crime of aggression, Kravchenko said.

Background: At a meeting of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on 15 May, participants approved a key decision in the process of launching the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine.
