KYIV. Dec 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin calls for the establishment of an international military tribunal as soon as possible to consider the facts of the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine.

According to the press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office, Kostin made the corresponding statement during his speech at the International Human Rights Conference "UA: Human Rights in Dark Times."

"Leading international institutions have recognized Russia as a terrorist state and called for the creation of an international tribunal for the crime of aggression.
