United States withdraws from International Centre for Investigation of Russian Crimes against Ukraine. Trump refuses to hold Putin accountable - New York Times
The US will withdraw from the international group investigating Russia's actions in the war against Ukraine.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the New York Times.
This is the International Centre for the Investigation of Crimes of Aggression against Ukraine.
According to the newspaper, this decision is the latest evidence that the Trump administration is refusing to hold Russian dictator Vladimir Putin accountable for crimes committed against Ukrainians.
As noted, the Department of Justice has informally informed European officials that the United States is withdrawing from the multinational group established to investigate crimes of aggression.
According to sources familiar with the situation, the decision is expected to be officially announced on Monday in an email to staff and members of the group's parent organisation, the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation, better known as Eurojust.
The group was created to hold the Russian leadership, along with its allies in Belarus, North Korea and Iran, accountable for a category of crimes defined as aggression under international law and treaties that violates the sovereignty of another country and was not launched in self-defence.
