Britain joins international push to make Russia accountable for invasion

Britain said on Friday it had joined a group of international partners pursuing criminal accountability for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

"These atrocities must not go unpunished," British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said in a statement, citing the deaths of soldiers and civilians and the displacement of millions of Ukrainians.

"That’s why the UK has accepted Ukraine’s invitation to join this coalition, bringing our legal expertise to the table to explore options to ensure Russia’s leaders are held to account fully for their actions.”
