Putin’s turn to be tried: Special court to be established for Russian leader!

The European Union announced that international lawyers have laid the foundations for a special court to try Russia for the crime of “aggression.” The charter is expected to pave the way for Putin and the Russian political and military leaders who “bear the greatest responsibility” for the invasion of Ukraine to be held accountable.

A coalition of 38 countries, including all members of the European Union, announced significant progress in their joint efforts to establish a special court to try the Russian leadership for “aggression” against Ukraine.
The work among experts and lawyers has so far focused on drafting the legal charter that will form the basis of the court and determine its jurisdiction.
The charter has not yet been finalized, but the coalition said it could be approved before the end of the year hopes.
The European Union executive body made a statement late yesterday and announced that the way would be paved for Russian political and military leaders who “bear the greatest responsibility” to be held accountable. The court was first proposed by Ukraine a few days after the invasion, but lawyers have been struggling to find the right courtroom for nearly three years.
“There is no doubt that Putin committed the crime of aggression, which means deciding to attack another country. And if this crime had not happened, there would have been no murders on the ground. There would have been no attacks on civilian infrastructure, no rapes on civilians,” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told reporters. Establishing a tribunal also means putting pressure on Putin and the regime to “really stop this war” and sending a clear signal to other aggressors or “would-be aggressors” who are attacking or considering attacking neighboring countries, Kallas said. The Russian military is currently engaged in a hot conflict with Ukraine in the Kursk region, along with North Korean troops.
