This is stated on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“We paid attention to the connection of the Prosecutor’s Office of the International Criminal Court (ICC) announced on April 25 to the Joint Investigation Group (JIT) of Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine, created under the auspices of Eurojust.
How such structures operate is well known.
It is probably no coincidence that the authors of this idea decided to reproduce the name of the group leading the “investigation” of the MH-17 crash, ”she noted.
Zakharova pointed out that it is safe to assume that the nature of the work of this "brainchild" will be the same - biased and one-sided.
“As for the ICC prosecutor’s office, this step of hers demonstrates that she does not even try to maintain at least the appearance of impartiality and objectivity and enthusiastically joins the process in which the perpetrators are clearly appointed in advance.
If someone still had doubts that the ICC is a body fulfilling political orders and has nothing to do with independent justice, then the new “creative” format of work makes everything extremely clear, ”the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized.
She also noted that Russia does not participate in the Rome Statute of the ICC and is not obliged to cooperate with it.
Earlier, the head of the legal section of the Russian Permanent Mission to the UN, Sergei Leonidchenko, called the ICC a “political instrument” and noted that the sul has nothing to do with justice.
