Kostin called the signing of the document "another step towards ensuring full responsibility for international crimes."

"This is only the beginning, but a significant beginning. I am convinced that we will not stop until all those guilty of international crimes committed against Ukraine are brought to justice. Including the top military and political leadership of the criminal regime of the Russian Federation," he said.

Kostin added that he hoped for further cooperation in the investigation and prosecution of Russia's crimes against Ukraine.

"I firmly believe that our joint efforts will help in building a fairer world," he concluded.
