U.S. Announces Ukraine Infrastructure Aid as Europe Calls for Tribunal for Russian War Crimes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. announced an additional $53 million in aid to Ukraine to
support its energy infrastructure amid ongoing attacks by Russia. Also
on Tuesday, NATO reiterated its commitment to grant eventual membership
to Ukraine. Meanwhile, earlier today, European Commission President
Ursula von der Leyen proposed a special court to try Russia over its
crimes in Ukraine.

Ursula von der Leyen: "Russia must pay for its horrific crimes,
including for its crime of aggression against a sovereign state. And
this is why, while continuing to support the International Criminal
Court, we are proposing to set up a specialized court, backed by the
United Nations, to investigate and prosecute Russia's crime of
aggression."

Kyiv has been pushing international actors to establish a tribunal to
hold Moscow accountable for its invasion.

This comes as President Volodymyr Zelensky warns Russian forces are
"planning something in the south" as they try to advance in the region.
Ukrainian officials said at least five civilians were killed in strikes
in the Donetsk region Tuesday.
