THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The European Union’s judicial cooperation agency is setting up a new center to support efforts to gather evidence of the crime of aggression in Ukraine. The announcement by Eurojust came on the eve of the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and amid international calls for Russia’s leaders to be prosecuted. Ukraine’s representative to Eurojust says her country believes that efforts to mete out justice for atrocities in Ukraine “should also include the prosecution of the leadership of the Russian Federation for the crime of aggression.” Eurojust says the new organization should be operated by the summer and will secure evidence and facilitate case-building ”at the earliest possible stage.”
