36 Countries and EU Back Special Tribunal for Putin Prosecution

A coalition of 36 countries and the European Union has approved the creation of a Special Tribunal to prosecute Russia's top leadership for the crime of aggression against Ukraine, according to the Kyiv Post.

The tribunal represents a significant international legal effort to hold Russian officials accountable for the invasion launched in February 2022. The move signals unified commitment from Western nations and Ukraine's supporters to pursue accountability through established judicial mechanisms rather than military means alone.

The tribunal's establishment follows years of documentation of alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the conflict. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry confirmed the coalition's backing for the initiative.
