Kyiv • UNN

Head of the Office of the President (OP) Andriy Yermak believes that the creation of a Special Tribunal regarding the crime of aggression committed by Russia against Ukraine is a confirmation that international law stands above the law of force, UNN reports.
Today, the international Coalition of States has taken a historic step - it has officially supported the creation of a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine. This is more than a political statement - it is a confirmation that international law stands above the law of force.
He noted that this decision is of global importance. It restores justice as a key condition for security. After all, impunity breeds new aggression. And punishment stops it, he stressed.
We are sincerely grateful to every country that has taken the side of justice. This is not only support for Ukraine - it is a contribution to a world where borders are respected, peoples are protected, and peace has a legal basis.
According to him, Ukraine will not stop until the truth is established. "We continue to move forward. Because only through justice is peace possible - real, sustainable and lasting. And today the world has clearly stated: this is the kind of peace it wants for Ukraine," Andriy Yermak summarized.
