An international office dedicated to investigating Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will open on Monday in The Hague, marking a significant step towards a potential tribunal for the Kremlin’s leadership. The International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression (ICPA) will consist of prosecutors from Kyiv, the European Union, the United States, and the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The primary objective of the ICPA is to conduct investigations and gather evidence, serving as an interim measure before the establishment of a special tribunal that could hold Russian officials accountable for initiating the war in Ukraine. Senior officials, including Ukrainian prosecutor general Andriy Kostin, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, US Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite, and EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders, will hold a press conference at the ICPA’s headquarters, located within the EU’s judicial agency, Eurojust.
