German Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann noted that the world had united in the face of a common threat.
According to Kostin, 18 countries have already launched national investigations into Russian war crimes, which is a solid foundation for building a true partnership.
"Berlin today is a 'legal Ramstein.' The time has come for joint and decisive resistance to the aggressor," he said.
In addition, Kostin called on the G7 countries to contribute to the creation of a Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression.
"We must act right now, when we have positive developments. The world will not be safe until the aggressor is stopped, isolated and punished," he said.
