Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Today, we held a meeting with the Deputy Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Mame Mandiaye Niang, during his first visit to Ukraine.  

Together with Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Iryna Mudra, we briefed the Deputy Prosecutor on Russia’s systematic violations of international law, in particular international humanitarian law.  

Russia continues to commit grave crimes against Ukrainians, including torture and executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war, the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children, and widespread crimes against civilians. 

Such actions are not isolated incidents but part of a deliberate policy aimed at destroying the Ukrainian nation. Accountability must be inevitable and uncompromising. There can be no impunity for war criminals.  

As a State Party to the Rome Statute, Ukraine expects further progress in investigations, including expanded charges and new arrest warrants. 

Ukraine values the work of the ICC and will continue strengthening cooperation with the Court to ensure that every crime committed during Russia’s war of aggression is properly investigated and prosecuted. 

Justice remains our shared responsibility."
