Over the past six months, the Ukraine government and international organizations have registered and are investigating tens of thousands of criminal proceedings involving Russia’s war against Ukraine. They include hundreds of criminal proceedings in allied countries, but not a single proceeding on the crime of aggression—the fundamental crime, from which stems the commission of other war crimes.against Ukraine, can prosecute genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.
This is a question for the whole world.
The mere fact that the International Special Tribunal is preparing indictments and issuing arrest warrants will be an important step towards recognizing global justice.

Others argue that the EU supports the International Criminal Court in The Hague and this court is enough .First, Ukraine is actively cooperating with the ICC.
