Ukraine, CoE to set up tribunal targeting Russian leadership

The creation of the tribunal comes as ceasefire talks between the two countries remain stalled, with Russian President Vladimir Putin appearing to believe that time is on his side. Berset said the next step in establishing the tribunal would be an expanded agreement to "allow the widest possible number of countries to join, to support, and to help manage the tribunal." The CoE said the tribunal "fills the gap" created by the "jurisdictional limitations" of the ICC.
