The US Department of Justice has informed European officials that the United States is withdrawing from a multinational group created to investigate leaders responsible for the invasion of Ukraine, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a letter sent to the members.
The decision to withdraw from the International Center to prosecute the crime of the attack on Ukraine, in which the Biden government had joined in 2023, is the latest indication of Trump’s conversion by President Joe Biden’s commitment to his personal responsibility.
The organization had been created to account for the Russian leadership, as well as its allies, Belarus, North Korea and Iran, for a category of crimes – defined as aggression under international law and conditions in the context of breach of other country’s sovereignty and do not start.
“The US authorities have informed me that they will complete their participation in ICPA by the end of March,” wrote Michael Smith, president of the parent organization of the Group, the European Cooperation Office, also known as Eurojust, in an internal letter acquired by the New York Times.
The team remains “fully committed” to attributing responsibility to “those responsible for international crimes” in Ukraine, he added.
The United States was the only country outside Europe to send a senior prosecutor to The Hague to work with Ukraine investigators, the Baltic, Poland, Romania and the International Criminal Court.
