THE HAGUE, Netherlands - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted Thursday that a special tribunal must be created to hold Russia to account for its "crime of aggression", while on a surprise visit to the Netherlands.
Zelensky said: "Of course, we all want to see a different Vladimir here in The Hague. The one who deserves to be sentenced for his criminal actions right here in the capital of the international law." Kyiv is pressing for a special tribunal to be set up to prosecute Moscow for the crime of aggression because it sees this as a way to achieve faster justice and more easily target the Kremlin's top officials.
"Our clear-cut position is... and I expressed my opinion on this: we are going to work without any form of hybrid altogether," Zelensky told reporters after meeting Dutch and Belgian Prime Ministers Mark Rutte and Alexander De Croo.Russia has repeatedly denied any abuses by its forces, but the ICC wants to prosecute Putin for the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia since Moscow's full-scale invasion last year in February.
