The Kremlin has opted to remain silent regarding the European Union's plans to create a special tribunal aimed at prosecuting Russian President Vladimir Putin and senior officials. This development, reported by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday, underscores a significant stand-off as tensions remain high amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The European Union, in a show of solidarity, has backed the tribunal proposal on the same day Russia remembers the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany. This move signifies a clear message from the EU nations about the importance of holding Russian leadership accountable for aggression against Ukraine.

Despite the EU's unified stance, the Kremlin, through the TASS news agency, conveyed that it would not be responding to these plans. Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov's brief statement indicated Moscow's decision to dismiss the tribunal's significance, leaving the international community to ponder the next steps in seeking justice and accountability.
