Russia: Ukraine

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to continue to support the establishment of a special tribunal on the crimes of aggression following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which could consider the criminal accountability of senior leaders of Russia and Belarus.

Answer

Those responsible for the hideous atrocities we have seen in Ukraine must be held to account for their actions. As we made clear in our manifesto, the Government supports work towards establishing a Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. The UK is working with partners in the Core Group, established and led by Ukraine, to explore all options and models of tribunal.
