Ukraine Requests Action From Its Allies Against Russia

Ukraine increased pressure on its Western partners on Saturday, lamenting the lack of progress in establishing an international tribunal to punish Russia’s leaders and in transferring frozen Russian assets.

“Unfortunately, we are in a kind of deadlock on both because we have divisions on the first issue and there is clearly a lack of will on the second issue”, said Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, referring to the tribunal.

Taken together, the remarks of multiple senior government officials painted a picture of a war-torn country held back by allies who failed to recognize the magnitude and severity of the issue.

According to Kuleba, the G7 group prefers a hybrid tribunal based on Ukrainian law.

However, he stated that this would not allow Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, or Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s immunity to be revoked, an unpalatable alternative for Kyiv.

Ukrainian politicians are advocating for a post-WWII Nuremberg tribunal-style international court.

In his remarks on Friday, Zelensky hinted that Moscow was betting on a Republican victory in next year’s US presidential election to reduce Washington’s support for Ukraine.

Earlier this week, during a two-day visit to Ukraine, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken praised the Ukrainian people’s extraordinary resilience while also promising $1 billion in fresh wartime aid.
