Ukraine continues to work on the establishment of a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression, and any hybrid formats of such a tribunal are unacceptable. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a meeting with media representatives following the negotiations with Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte and Prime Minister of Belgium Alexander De Croo in The Hague.
The Head of State emphasized that 35 countries have already joined the Core Group to establish a Special Tribunal.
"We will work without any hybrid formats, we will work on a specific tribunal to ensure accountability for their crimes, murders, and torture. We understand who gave the orders. These people must not be untouchable. This is very important for us, this is one of the fundamental issues," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The President noted that Ukraine will not agree to any hybrid formats of a tribunal for Russia's crimes.
"We have seen the Minsk agreements since 2014 - they were a kind of hybrid peace. We know what it led to. Therefore, Ukraine does not want to agree to any hybrid peace, hybrid tribunal as a continuation of this," the Head of State emphasized.
