Ukrainian prosecutor to weigh criminal case against Belarus' leader Lukashenko

A Ukrainian prosecutor is considering initiating a criminal case against Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, reportedly due to alleged violations of international law related to his country's actions during the conflict in Ukraine. The potential legal action would involve assessing whether Belarus has committed crimes under international humanitarian law, particularly concerning its role in facilitating Russia’s invasion. The decision comes amid heightened tensions between Ukraine and Belarus, with Kyiv accusing Minsk of complicity in the war. While the exact nature of the charges remains unspecified, the move signals a significant escalation in legal pressure against Lukashenko. The Ukrainian authorities are likely to rely on evidence gathered through international investigations and testimonies from individuals involved in the conflict.
