As reported, in September 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky formed a working group headed by Andriy Yermak. This group works on creating a special tribunal to prosecute Russian leadership for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.

The establishment of such a tribunal has been supported by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, the European Parliament, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, and individual states.
