Ukraine: UK justice ministry offers more support for ICC war crimes investigation

Dominic Raab to unveil new raft of measures, which include providing court with a specialist legal and police team

The UK Ministry of Justice has announced a second tranche of support for the international criminal court's (ICC) investigations into war crimes in Ukraine, including the deployment of a specialist legal and police team.

Karim Khan QC, the court's chief prosecutor, was due in London on Monday to provide an update on the progress of the investigation, although his trip was later cancelled due to illness. The deputy prime minister, Dominic Raab, will present further support to the independent investigation on top of the 1m of funding provided earlier this year.
