During the meeting, Kravchenko stated that the Office of the Prosecutor General appreciates the assistance of partners in creating a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine, and for their involvement in the work of the Register of Damages caused by Russian aggression.
The Prosecutor General noted the significance of Switzerland's efforts in conducting its own investigations and collecting evidence of international crimes. As the ambassador noted, these issues are personally important to him given his work as Switzerland's special envoy to the UN Human Rights Council.
He spoke about our current priorities: documenting and investigating Russia's international crimes, preparing for the launch of the Special Tribunal, returning Ukrainian children deported by Russia home, and protecting local and international investors.
Kravchenko also emphasized that strengthening international cooperation, particularly on extradition issues, remains an important direction for the Office of the Prosecutor General today. "Our goal is to intensify this work," the Prosecutor General stated.
"Strengthening cooperation on extradition issues is our priority," Kravchenko added.
The parties also reportedly exchanged views on further post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, both in economic terms and in terms of implementing transitional justice.
Kravchenko thanked Switzerland for its proactive stance on these issues and for its readiness to help Ukraine.
The common result is the establishment of a just peace in Ukraine and the restoration of security in the European region.
