BRUSSELS — The European Union on Wednesday proposed options for setting up a specialized court to try Russia’s crimes in Ukraine, a potential step toward a broader, international effort to hold the country to account for its war of aggression — if the United Nations gets on board.The plan, announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, is a response to Ukrainian calls for the creation of a special tribunal to prosecute Russian leaders for the invasion.
The International Criminal Court has already launched its own investigation into allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity, but it does not have jurisdiction to prosecute other crimes, such as aggression. In an “options paper” published Wednesday, the European Commission explored two potential solutions — the creation of an ad-hoc tribunal for the crime of aggression, or a “hybrid court” that internationalizes a domestic court.“We believe it would be possible to have a specialized court to deal with the crime of aggression,” said a senior E.U. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to brief the press. “It would require U.N. backing and an international agreement.
Von der Leyen also announced Wednesday that the E.U. will be working with partners to make sure “Russia pays for the devastation it caused with the frozen funds of oligarchs and assets of its central bank.”fired at least 85 missiles on at least six major cities in Ukraine on November 15 , in one of the most widespread attacks of the war so far. The strikes came just hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking by video link, presented a 10-point peace plan to G-20 leaders at a summit in Indonesia. As in previous Russian missile attacks, critical civilian infrastructure appeared to be primary targets. Parts of several cities that were hit were left without electrical power on Tuesday afternoon.

What about the Ukraine war crime to Russia?
Good, maybe we will get to the bottom of the US-funded bio-weapons labs on Russia’s border inside Ukraine.
How about a Nuremberg style trial where we investigate the human rights violations regarding COVID 19?
Good
Lol so? What are they gonna do sanction them?
I think Moscow should be having its own trials and hangings. More Ukrainians have committed war crimes than any other group there , perhaps arrest and convict a few EU reps too and definitely that half wit zelensky .
The EU pretty much seems like a communist organization.
How about Americas crimes in the Middle East?
Good luck with that
Nothing will happen unfortunately
