During a working visit to Washington, Attorney General Andriy Kostin met with the honorary Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, where they discussed holding Russia accountable for war crimes.
This was reported by the Office of the Attorney General on Facebook.
The Attorney General thanked Pelosi for her support, determination, and leadership in defending justice and democracy. During the meeting, alongside the Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, they addressed critically important issues related to ensuring comprehensive accountability for the war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine. The Attorney General informed Pelosi that over 139,000 such crimes have already been documented since the beginning of Russian aggression.
“It is extremely important to register all crimes, initiate criminal proceedings, and achieve justice for each individual case, regardless of how long the process of punishing the guilty may take,” Kostin stated.
