Kostin said the country is "grateful" for the continuing U.S. support, adding that the deployment of a prosecutor to the International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine represented the "first practical step" toward establishing a special prosecution tribunal.

The Justice Department meeting comes as Kostin and Deputy Attorney Lisa Monaco prepare to testify before separate congressional committees this week spotlighting Russian war crimes.
