EU leaders propose to punish Russia and its accomplices for crime of aggression against Ukraine

This is stated in the conclusions of the EU summit, published on October 21, European Pravda news outlet reports.

The EU leaders said that war crimes are being committed in Ukraine, "the evidence of which is growing," so the EU "reaffirms its commitment to bring Russia, as well as all perpetrators and accomplices, to justice."

“The European Council acknowledges Ukraine’s efforts to secure accountability, including for the crime of aggression against Ukraine. It invites the High Representative and the Commission to explore options so that full accountability can be ensured,” the conclusions of the summit say.

“The European Union reiterates its firm commitment to holding Russia, and all perpetrators and accomplices, to account, and its strong support for the investigations by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court,” the European Council’s statement says.
