Zelensky meets with prosecutors general from partner states of Ukraine

President Volodymyr Zelensky met with attorneys general and prosecutors general from partner states of Ukraine and international institutions.

According to Ukrinform, Zelensky said this in a post on Telegram.

“An important meeting with the prosecutors general of Ukraine's partner countries and international institutions. Unfortunately, our country is now a large battlefield. And we have to win on different fronts. The most important is the real battlefield where our soldiers are fighting. Other fronts are diplomatic and legal,” Zelensky noted.

He stressed that Ukrainian society strives for justice. 

“True justice will come when all those responsible for the crimes of aggression are held to account under the law,” Zelensky wrote.

According to the president’s press service, the meeting was attended by: U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, U.S. Ambassador at-Large for Global Criminal Justice Beth Van Schaack, European Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders, International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan, Head of the European Public Prosecutor Office Laura Kövesi, Attorney General of Spain Álvaro García Ortiz, Attorney General of the UK Victoria Prentis, Prosecutor General of Estonia Andres Parmas, Prosecutor General of Latvia Juris Stukāns, Prosecutor General of Lithuania Nida Grunskienė, and UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict Pramila Patten.

Zelensky said that bringing to justice those guilty of the crime of aggression would be an important signal for Ukrainians and all peoples on the planet that there is justice in the world.

"And that there is no chance after this war for any aggressor to repeat something like that or even think about it. That's why we need justice, we need a tribunal to see all the guilty people behind bars," he said.

As reported by Ukrinform, 29 states have already joined the coalition on the creation of a special tribunal for Russia’s crime of aggression against Ukraine, according to Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba.
