"We are in a dead end": Kuleba criticized the event for a delay in creating a tribunal over the Russian Federation

The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry states that a year and a half after the invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, in the West is still delayed with important issues. Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba criticizes the lack of progress in the creation of a tribunal to persecute Russian leaders and delay the transfer of frozen assets. He stated this in a speech that the embargo was imposed, AFP writes.

"Unfortunately, we are in a kind of dead end on both issues, because we have differences on the first issue and clearly no will on the second issue," the Ukrainian diplomat said. In addition, the Foreign Minister stated that the G7 group "firmly acts" for a hybrid tribunal based on Ukrainian legislation. According to him, this approach will not allow the inviolability of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin or Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

For Kiev, an unacceptable tribunal without Russian leaders. Instead, Ukrainian officials stand for the creation of an international court, reminiscent of the Nuremberg Tribunal after the Second World War. Ukraine's political leadership also insists on the transfer of Russian assets to Ukraine to help restore the country.

After the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, Western sanctions have led to freezing the foreign exchange reserves of the Central Bank of Russia worldwide for about 300 billion euros. "After a year and a half (wars - ed. ) I still hear from Europe and America: we are working on it," Kuleba said. "It is missing the will to come to some conclusion. That's why we have to change it.
