Independent judicial body to undertake accusations against Putin
Title: Special Tribunal to Hold Putin Accountable for Ukraine War
Ukraine has decided to establish a special tribunal to prosecute the Russian leaders for their role in the ongoing war. This was announced at a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Lviv, Ukraine, on May 9, 2025.
The tribunal will be based in The Hague, Netherlands, and aims to hold top Russian leaders, including President Vladimir Putin, accountable for their actions. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha expressed his hope that Kremlin leaders will face justice through this tribunal.
Meanwhile, Poland and France plan to sign a mutual support agreement in case of a military threat. The details of the agreement weren't disclosed, but it's clear that both countries intend to take joint initiatives to promote peace in Ukraine.
In other developments, it was reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin met with North Korean military generals during the Victory Day parade in Moscow, where he expressed his gratitude for their support in the Ukraine war. Notably, North Korea is said to have sent about 15,000 soldiers to Russia to aid in their war efforts, resulting in approximately 600 casualties.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has threatened Russia with increased sanctions if they fail to agree to a longer ceasefire in Ukraine and engage in peace negotiations. He urged Russia to consider genuine peace talks, stating that further sanctions would be imposed if Russia doesn't comply.
On a separate note, the Russian pipeline operator Nord Stream 2 was granted a temporary reprieve to find a new investor, allowing it to avoid bankruptcy proceedings. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline was designed to transport natural gas from Russia to Germany but was never put into operation after the Russian attack on Ukraine.
The special tribunal would allow the international community to hold Putin and other Russian leaders accountable for their actions, serving as a significant step towards ending the conflict in Ukraine and fostering peace in the region.
