Of course, I emphasised the importance of Germany's participation in creating the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression," the Minister of Foreign Affairs said. 

Kuleba noted that he also called on German politicians to support the start of negotiations for Ukraine's accession to the EU by the end of this year, and noted that he does not see any objective obstacles to this.

The Foreign Minister added that he also thanked the members of the Bundestag who played a role in recognizing the Holodomor as a genocide of Ukrainians.
