Ukraine weighs criminal case against Belarusian leader Lukashenko

Source: Ukrinform

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office has asked the Prosecutor General’s Office to consider opening a criminal case against Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko. Mariana Haievska-Kovbasiuk, a spokesperson for the Prosecutor General’s Office, confirmed the request to Ukrinform, Ukraine’s state news agency.

The initiative to open a criminal case against Lukashenko came from Belarusian opposition figures — the Forum of Democratic Forces of Belarus, whose founders include Valery Tsepkalo, a former Belarusian presidential candidate. Tsepkalo and his associates called on Kyiv to give a legal assessment of Lukashenko’s role in Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

On July 28, the Forum’s Telegram channel published a letter from Zelensky’s office, saying the request to open a criminal case against Lukashenko had been forwarded to Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office.
