(MENAFN- UkrinForm) This was reported by the BBC Russian Service , as cited by Ukrinform.

“We will consider the accession of any country to the Tribunal as a hostile move, indicating not a desire for resolution, but for escalation of the current crisis around Ukraine,” said Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova, threatening“restrictive measures” in response.

As previously reported by Ukrinform, on June 25, President Volodymyr Zelensky signed an agreement with the Council of Europe at the Palace of Europe in Strasbourg to establish the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine

According to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, the tribunal will be an independent international institution operating under the Council of Europe. Notably, its statute does not include provisions for personal immunities, meaning that Russia's highest-ranking officials, including President Vladimir Putin, could be held accountable.
