Russia says it is 'outraged' by France backing war crimes tribunal

Russia's foreign ministry said on Friday that it was "outraged" by a statement from the French foreign ministry regarding plans to create a tribunal on possible crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine.

European Commision President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday that the EU would try to set up a specialised court, backed by the United Nations, to investigate and prosecute possible war crimes committed by Russia during its invasion.
