“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday signed an accord with pan-European rights body the Council of Europe for establishing a special tribunal to try top officials responsible for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The court would prosecute the ‘crime of aggression’ in the invasion, which Russia launched in February 2022, and could, in theory, try senior figures up to President Vladimir Putin. … The 46-member Council of Europe is not part of the EU and members include key non-EU European states such as Turkey, the UK and Ukraine. … European foreign ministers endorsed the creation of the tribunal in a meeting in Lviv in western Ukraine on May 9.” (06/25/25)
