Trump administration to exit body probing ‘aggression against Ukraine’
The administration of US President Donald Trump is set to withdraw from a European body investigating the “aggression against Ukraine.”
According to sources cited by the New York Times on Monday, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) will withdraw from the EU-led International Center for Prosecution of Crime of Aggression against Ukraine (ICPA).
The body has been established to investigate Russia, Belarus, North Korea, and Iran for alleged crimes against Ukraine.
The Trump administration, which is aiming to normalize bilateral relations with Russia, decided to pull out of the center.
In regard to sealing a deal, Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, will likely hold talks Tuesday on how to reach a truce in Ukraine, according to US special envoy Steve Witkoff.
Trump’s special envoy, who met with Putin for four hours on March 13 in Moscow, said on Sunday that he had arranged the talks between the two leaders.
In an interview with CNN, Witkoff said his meeting with the Russian leader had been "positive."
He said the talks were part of the administration's efforts to reach a quick ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
He claimed Putin, who he said shared the same "philosophy" as Trump, had categorically agreed on a ceasefire to end the Ukraine war.
