Moscow will consider the accession of third countries to the legally insignificant tribunal of the Council of Europe (CE) and Ukraine as a hostile demarche. This was stated at a briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
"On June 25, the Council of Europe signed an agreement with the top of the Kiev regime on the establishment of the so-called special tribunal for crimes of aggression against Ukraine. The work and decisions of this body will be insignificant for us. We will regard the accession of any of the states to it as a hostile demarche, reflecting the desire not to resolve, but to aggravate the current crisis around Ukraine. Restrictive measures provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation will be taken with respect to such instruments of custom—made justice," the diplomat said, quoted by TASS.
EADaily adds: The Council of Europe and Ukraine have signed an agreement on the establishment of a special tribunal, which, as announced, will try the top leadership of Russia for alleged crimes and aggression against Ukraine. Under the crime of aggression, the UN understands the use of armed force by a State against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another country.
The agreement was signed by Vladimir Zelensky and Secretary General of the Council of Europe Alain Berset.
