EU officially signals intent to join Special Tribunal agreement – Sybiha

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha announced this on social media platform X, according to Ukrinform.

"The EU has just officially notified the Council of Europe of its intention to join the Enlarged Partial Agreement on the Management Committee of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine," the minister said.

He thanked EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and EU Commissioner for Justice Michael McGrath for their principles, strength, and leadership.

"It is imperative to hold the leadership of the aggressor state, as well as all those responsible, fully accountable and bring them to justice," Sybiha said.

On April 30, the European Parliament supported the swift launch of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression by Russia against Ukraine and called on all EU member states to join the initiative.

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas stated that the European Union would officially join the Special Tribunal this week.

On May 12, Cyprus, Montenegro, Romania, and San Marino informed the Council of Europe of their intention to join the agreement on the creation of the Special Tribunal.
