“It is very important for us that today our colleagues from the EU, in particular from the European External Action Service, are preparing an option paper, i.e., in essence, a position on possible options regarding the implementation of responsibility for committing the crime of aggression against Ukraine based on the conclusions of the European Council meeting on 20 – October 21. We expect, of course, this position for analysis and further work, and we are absolutely constructive in terms of finding the most appropriate approaches that will comply with all provisions of international law and practice,” said the ambassador on special assignments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to Korynevich, Ukraine currently has considerable political support for the need to hold the Russian Federation accountable for the crime of aggression against Ukraine and to create a special tribunal. In this context, he recalled the relevant resolutions of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, the European Parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of NATO and the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, resolutions of the national parliaments of Ukraine, Lithuania, Estonia and the Netherlands.
“We hope that we will have more. And this, of course, is an important political message from the international community, that there is an understanding that the mechanism of prosecution for committing the crime of aggression against Ukraine and the creation of a special tribunal must be found,” he added. .
